the parade.
We think a now fooling of self-respect it be
ginning again to actuate our Militia. The par
ade on Monday, at Spring Hill, and yesterday,
in this city, was not only distinguished for the
numbers that turned out. but the conduct of the
Battalia was strikingly marked by respect for their
officers and the laws. We have not seen the 7Slh
so full as it was yesterday in several years, and
we are gratified in bearing testimony to its good
conduct. We do not pretend to say, its movements
were as precisely regular as a practised army;
but any one can perceive, when there is a general
disposition prevalent to do honor to the character
of the citizen soldier. It is in that view we par
ticularly commend it, and the whole movements
of the occasion, wo are informed, do great credit
to the young and inexperienced officers, who com
manded and directed them. Wc cannot help no
ticing the fine appearance and disciplined move
ments of the Hussars and Blues —they were bril
liant spots to the line and column.
The reviewing officer, we liclieve, was Gen.
Grier. The officers of the Regiment and Battal
lion were Col. M’Keen and Maj. Tobin.
New Orleans; May 5.
The Crops. —The'weather in Franklin (Atto
kapas) has'latterly been very variable. The morn
ings and evenings required fires to make them
comfortable. The town had been visited on the
22d ult. by a storm accompanied with thunder,
lightning, and torrents of rain, which it was fear
ed would tend to still further retard the growth of
an already partially injured crop. The Grand
Gulf Advertiser says, that “at no period within our
recollection haa this delightful season of the year
been so backward as the present one. Corn and
cotton, which has generally been in a state of for
wardness at this date, is this season now scarcely
perceptible; and on most plantations off from the
river, but little has made its appearance. On ma
ny plantations, we learn, an entire replanting, or
a commencement de novo, as the lawyers say,
will bo found necessary. This will, of course,
place our planters greatly behind hand in their
calculations, and in all probability, curtail their
crops considerably.”
Look out for the Impottor. —We are informed
that an individual passed through our city during
the present week, soliciting the charitable aid of
our fellow citizens for the professed object of ena
bling him to reach the settlement of land, appro
priated by our government to the suffering Poles
who have been driven from their native shores by
the accursed Autocratical powers. This man had
a certificate or petition signed by a Polish name
and others, which ha had no doubt forged, for up
on examination before several Polish gentlemen,
citizens of our town, it was discovered that he was
an Italian vagabond, unable even to speak the
language of that noble and generous people. His
certificate was taken from him here, but he may
probably obtain another, and thus impose upon
those who feel a deep interest for the suffering,
exiled martyrs of liberty. That the community
may be on their guard against tire impostor, we
annex a description of his person. He is about
five feet high, spare made, dark hair and dark
complexion, black eyes, smooth face, rather slow
spoken,speaks very broken English, had on a blue
tight bodied coat, striped vest, and blue panta
loons.— Columbus Enquirer.
The Hail Hoad. —The annual meeting of the
Directors of the Georgia Rail Road Company, was

The following information is all we have yet been

Three fourths of tho stock was represented at the

feelings of liberally and unanimity prevailed, with
regard to every thing touching tho great work in
contemplation, and for the early and efficient
prosecution of which, liberal measures was unani
mously adopted. The Journal of tho proceedings
of the stockholders, will appear in our next.

the murder of Eli Hicks.— Cassville Gazette.
The Rev. Ignatius Few, of Columbus, who
has been appointed to make a selection of a suita

There arc some things too grave to be made a
-of. It is evident, however, that our witty
friend at New York thinks he is perpetuating a i
joke when he is alluding to very serious matter,
in the following squib:— JVational Intelligencer.
From the Now York Evening Star.
The New Cabinet. —As it now becomes ne
cessary to watch the Court calendar, and keep the I
people advised of His Majesty’s appointments, I
the new Cabinet now consists of
Amos Kendall, P. M. Gen’l and Premier of N. 11.
Benjamin F. Butler, Attorney General.
Mahlon Dickerson, Secretary of the Navy.
Levi Woodbury, Sec’y cf the Treasury, of N. 11. 1
Lewis Cass, Secretary War, of N. H. l
John Forsyth, Secretary of State.
Right Hon. Privy Councellore. —Francis P.
Clair, Reuben M. Whitney, Barnabas Bates, and 1
Thomas Ritchie, Esquires. The two latter are
corresponding members of the Cabinet.
Mr. Calhoun. —This distinguished gentleman
is now in our neighborhood. We understand
that tho citizens of Dahlohnega, of both parties,
have invited him, byway of expressing their ap
probation and gratitude for his warm and zqplous
support of the bill establishing a branch of the
Mint of the United States at or near that place, to
dine with them, and that he has declined the pre
ferred honor. We understand that his reply to
the Committee of Invitation is alone confined to
tho subject of mineralogy. Wc should be glad
to see it.— Miner’s Recorder, May 9.
Cherokee Council. —We understand that a
a Council, of that portion of tho Chiefs and head
men of the Cherokoes, east of the Mississippi,
known among them as the Ridge or treaty party,
is now in session at Neva Echota; and that a
similar Council will be held by John Ross and
his party at Red Clay, (Ten.) on Monday next,
for tho purpose of submitting to their people the
result of their mission to Washington last winter.
It is believed that tho fate of the proposed treaty
will be settled at these Councils. We have no
information in our possession by which wo can
form any correct opinion as to tho probable accep
tance or rejection of the treaty. Report says that
John Ross is bitterly opposed to its adoption, how
true this is we cannot say. But we have too
much confidence in the intelligence of John Ross
to believe he will advise tho rejection of a treaty
so liberal as the proposed one, or that he will
knowingly and wilfully bring upon himsolf and
people the inevitable and dangerous consequences
which await its rejection.— lbid.
Henderson and Costume. —Fifty or five-and
forty yew ago an actor, playing a Roman would
not have bared his throat; black stocks were then
worn round the neck in all tragedies. Hender
son was one of the first to abolish them, and to
effect other improvement, but his example was
slowly followed, Some old provincialists still re
tain the stock, though a more unbecoming ad
junct to any dramatic dress can scarcely bo con
ceived. Custom reconciles us to much; Cook,
as Peregrine, (“John Bull”) who enters from a
shipwreck, having swam upwards of a mile a
shore, dressed in a fashionable black coat, and
had his hair curled and powdered , and the plait
ed frill of his shirt sticking out three inches be
fore him.
We learn that Thomas Spalding, Esq. is enga
ged in having a survey made of a rail road route,
. secured to him by charter, from tho Ocmulgec to
. Flint river. The navigable waters of these rivers
approach each other within fifty miles or less, and
’ it will he seen by a glance at the map, that a
route over the intervening level lands of Dooly
and Laurens, will connect the Gulf of Mexico
and all the trade in that direction, with the At
lantic coast.—Geo. Journal,
The Secretary of State left the city some days
ago for New York, on his way to Georgia.— A’a
tional Intelligencer.
A modern giant. —The other evening, while
tho stcamlioat Homer was lying at our laming,
we had occasion to go on board. While there
we met with a being, whose colossal appearance
and giant strides made us call to recollection some
of the wonderful stories in Gulliver’s Travels,
and almost fancy that we were in a land of
strange beings. He was seven feet three inches
high —weighed 225 lbs.—was only 21 years of
age; and was named James Porter ; raised near
Louisville, Kentucky; and good humoredly re
marked, that he could do that which but few per
sons could; turn gin into Porter; at the same
time suiting the action to tho ward.— Grand
Gulf Miss. Advertiser.
“ Hurrah for a free Country.”—Between five
and six o’clock last evening, as we were passing
through Delancy-street, and when opposite house
No. 25 of that street, we observed a man stand
ing in a threatening attitude, with a large stick,
shouting, at the top of his voice, hurrah for a
free country, and the next moment applying
tho stick or club to a large bow window every
pane of which he quickly demolished.—We
crossed the street, and found close beside him
his poor heart-broken wife, entreating him to
desist; but no! the rum was in, and his senses
out. After demolishing tho window, the next
attack was upon the contents of a small store,
kept by his wife, for the support of herself and
hor little ones. The woman was now fearing a
personal attack from the enraged monster. By
this time a number of persons had collected, and
the fury of the maniac was abated ; still, assist
ance was sent for to the Upper Police Office.
We remained long enough to ascertain, that all
the offence committed by the wife of this man.
was her bursting into a (iood of tears, when hor
inhuman husband entered in estate of beastly in
toxication. These are some of the effects of rum
drinking.—A", r. Com. Adv.
Knowles. —lt is strange that Sheridan Knowles
should not have sooner made his way as a dia
matist, for Kean and Hazlet knew the man, and
reverenced his powers, so also did Charles Lamb,
who ad dressed a sonnet to him. About the time
that Maturin’s “ Bertram,” was first talked of,
Knowles’s name was repeatedly mentioned by
Kean, but it fell upon unheeding ears—that name
was then unknown, but he did “ bide his time”
with unwearied pationco. “Virginius,” first pro
duced at Glasgow, with Cooper for the hero, was
transplanted, through Macready, to Covcnt-gar
den Theatre; another “Virginius,” written by a
gentleman, named Barlow, was produced at Dru
ry immediately, with Kean as (he Roman father—
it failed. Poor Kean for years regretted not ha
ving had “tba first of Knowles’s tragedy;” he
played the part towards tho close of his career,
but Maeready had set his seal upon it, and the 1
public did not foster Kean’s attempt.

From a Liverpool paper of April 11.
The Cotton Trade. — The position of the cot
trade demands at this period the most serious at
tention of those engaged in it. If tho consump
tion of Europe, this year, is to equal that of the
last, the stocks will, no doubt, bo very small in
December next; but should it go on increasing in
tho same ratio, it remains to lie shown whether
the expected supplies from all quarters will prove
adequate to it. Prices have been gradually ad
vancing during the last twelve months, and this
improvement lias not originated in iheoretical
speculation, but has been founded on the legiti
mate bads of increased demand for manufactur
ers. In the United -States of America, no one
estimates the growth of cotton over 1,250,000
hales, while many maintain that it will fall consi
derably short of that amount, and also that the
quantity required fir consumption there will ex
ceed that of the previous year. That country is,
of course, the chief source of our supplies, and
tho extent of crop there will lie the grand regula
tor of tho markets in Europe, as we are not led
to expect any material increase from oilier quar
ters beyond what has been formerly produced.
The excitement in the States, and the conse
quent high prices at which alone cotton can b 1
bought, would acem to warrant the opinion of a
moderate crop. It will at all events check the
export, and when it is considered with what
competition and activity the cotton trade is con
duoted in this country, even a temporary falling
offin tbe import might materially affect the mar
kets.
