“ Be just, and fear mil.”
THE RIVER,
Which had been for a length of lime too low
for loaded Steam Boats to reach our wharves,
has risen considerably within the last throe or
four days, and is now in excellent order for Steam
Boat navigation, with a prospect of its continuing
so for a length of time. ,
THANKSGIVING DAY'.
The Mayor of Savannah, in accordance with a
resolution of the City Council, has issued his pro
clamation, requiring To-morrow, the 31stinstant,
to bo observed as a day of thanksgiving and prayer,
by the citizens of that place.
- REV, GEORGE E. PIERCE.

Episcopal Church of this city, has accepted the
appointment of Professor of Languages in the
Randolph Macon College, in Virginia, and has
left here for the purpose of attending the next
session, which commences on the third Wednc s
day in January next.
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
“ We have received (says the Raleigh, N. C
Star, of the 17th inst.,) the Ist number of the 2d
volume of this valuable periodical. This work
has justly acquired a reputation superior to that of
any similar publication in the country, on account
> both of its elegant typographical execution, and
the rich, valuable, and highly entertaining matter
(mostly original) it contains. In the neatness and
beauty of its typographical appearance, the num
ber before us surpasses any of its predecessors;
and its contents fully sustain its high literary
character. Wc have no room at present for a
particular notice of the articles. Wc hope that
every Southron, who feels an interest in that sort
of internal improvement in the South, which re
spects the mind, will pa'ronizo this work.”
THE QUESTION OF ABOLITION.
The United States Telegraph, of the 22d in
stant, contains a long and interesting Congres
sional Debate, which took place in the House of
Representatives on the 18th instant, on the subject
of receiving petitions for the abolition of Slavery
in the District of Columbia. The Debate occu
pies near six columns of the Telegraph, and we
regret that its great length precludes the possibi
lity of our publishing it at present.—The same
paper of the 24th, says :—“ The debate on this
subject continues. The same desire is evinced to
“Void coining to a distinct and decisive vote on the
question. Mr. Beardsley concluded the debate.
He wished to impress on the members from the
South, that they ought to be satisfied at the an
nunciation of the opinion of the House, as made
the other day, by laying bn the table, by a large
majority, a petition of the like kind. He hinted at
some undefined great dangers that would result
from pressing the question. Ho avoided stating
those dangers; but from what wc heard, they must
have been of a nature mote of feeling the party
than the country.”

adopted.
The two Houses adjourned sine die about 10
o'clock P. M.
Thus ends the session of 1835—would that
all the ill effects to be apprehended from it were
ended, also. For our own part, we would most
cheerfully surrender all its probable good, to he
relieved from its anticipated evil. Tho incorpora
tion of the two Rail Road Banks, alone, with
more capital than all the present Banks in the
State, would more than counterbalance, in its ex
tensive injury to the State, a hundred-fold the
benefits to be expected from every desirable or
beneficial law enacted.
Erratum. —ln the sentence, “surpassing, pro
bably, in its hospitality, magnificence, and social
enjoyment, any former occasion of the kind,"
in tho third line of the article headed “ The Go
vernor’s social party,” in the Chronicle of the
19th inst,, for “ magnificence,” read munificence.
FIRE IN NEW YORK.
The following will be found a tolerable accu
rate statement of the number of Houses and
Stores now levelled with the ground.
26 on Water street; 79 on Pearl street; 3 on
South street; 76 on Water street; 80 on Front
street; 16 on Hanover street; oa on taxctmnge
Place; 31 on Exchange street; 44 on William
street; 33 on Old clip; 16 on Coentics Slip;
60 on Stone street; 3on Hanover square ; 23 on
Beaver street; 20 oh Govorncur’s lone; 10 on
Jones’Lane; 20 on Cuyler’s Alley; 38 on Mill
street; in all amounting to 674.
Six hundred and seventy-four Tenements. By
far the greater part in tho occupancy of our larg
est shipping and wholesale dry goods Merchants,
and filled with the richest products of every por
tion of the Globe. How can wc estimate the im
mense loss sustained, or the feaiful consequences
to tile general prosperity 1
Os the Merchant’s Exchange nothing but its
marble wails remain standing.
Three or four vessels laying at the wharves on
South street were slightly injured in their yards
and rigging. They were all hauled out into the
river ns soon as practicable.
As we cannot slate the loss of life with preci
sion, we abstain from giving surmises. The
cold during the whole time was excessive, the
Thermometer at Zero. It may be easily supposed
that this greatly paralyzed the exertions of the
Firemen. We saw one who sank under its
effects and who was with difficulty resuscitated.
Two companies, with their engines, arrived
here from Newark, and rendered very material
assistance.
The passengers in the steam boat coming down
the river, saw the flames from the Highlands,
forty-five miles distant, and such was the violence
of tlie gale, during the prevalence of the fire,
that burning embers were carried across the East
river to Brooklyn, and set fire to the roof of a
House there, which was however speedily ex
tinguished.
Tho following is an account of the buildings
saved within the scene of destruction :
Wall street, west side, between the Exchange
and Pearl street, six building* are standing—and
on Pearl street, next to the corner of Wall, west
side, two houses.
Throe stoics northerly side of Goentics slip, and
two adjoining on the west side of Front street.
Five buildings on the north side of Goentics
slip, and four an South street, forming an L.
A five story building on the south side of Wa
ter street near old slip, is preserved in tho midst
of tho total ruin on every side.
Ail the remaining ground over which the fire
spread, exhibits notliing but fragments of walls,
standing chimnice, and heaps of merchandize in
burning ruins,
Tho westerly line ofthefiroat Wall street, was
the corner of Wall and William streets—house
partly saved, all the remainder of the buildings on
William street destroyed, and extending through '
Exchange place, both sides, nearly to Broad street.
Beaxcr street, both side, destroyed nearly to
Broad street.
Stone street partly destroyed. The fire did not
reach Broad street at any point, but extended a
bout half way between William and Broad, from
Wall street to Goentics slip.
One hundred and twenty-three houses (says the
New York Courier and Enquirer) have made re
turns of their losses, the total of which amounts
to $3,853,000, exceeding what was anticipated in 1
so small a number, hut the belief still exists that
it would not exceed $12,000,000,
So far as discovered, there was not a vault in
the Merchants’ Exchange of the least value—
every paper was consumed in them.

ABOLITION.
The debate on this subject, which will be found
in our columns of yesterday, will arrest the at
tention of our Southern readers; and especially
the remarks of Mr. Beardsley, with the indignant
and energetic reply of Mr.Pickens. The Globe,
that infamous vehicle of calumny, charges tho
Nullifiers, and especially Messrs. Hammond and
Pickens, with a desire to agitate the question in
1 concert with the Abolitionists; and says that the
proposition to reject tho petition was intended as
a makeweight, with which the Abolitionists arc
s to be aided to pull down the Democracy of the
‘ N o rth, the natural ally of the friends of Union
' in the South, and declares that the right to peti
; lion Congress upon this subject, is secured to the
) Abolitionists by the Constitution.
There is no contradiction too gross for the
1 Globe. We have been told repeatedly, again and
' again, and if we were to judge from the tone of
the debate, we would suppose tho Abolitionists to
be so inconsiderable in numbers, mid in influence,
as to merit scarce a moment’s consideration.
When we have controverted this position; when
when we have asserted that they were a power
ful and a growing party, so much so as to oper
ate upon the fears and hopes of the leading poli
ticians of the North, we were charged with agi
tation. Now we are told that if Congress shall
decide that they have no right to petition for tho
Abolition of Shivery, it will “ pull down” the De
mocracy of tho North, the natural ally of the
friends of union in the South; and Mr. Ham
mond and Mr. Pickens are held up to tho severest
reprobation, because one has dared to deny this
right by moving a rejection of the petition, and
the other has avowed his readiness and ability to
defend the rights and institutions of the South,
whenever and wherever they may be assailed.
The ground assumed by the Globe is, (hat these
petitions must not be rejected ; because, inasmuch
as there is a Van Huron majority in the House,
such rejection would give offence to tho Aboli
tionists of tho North, and thus pull down the
Democracy of the North, by which term that
press designates the Van liureii party; thus con
tradicting all that has heretofore been said of
the numbers and influence of the Abolitionists,
It to give them offence is to pul! down the Van
Burcn party, then it is not true, as has been said
that they arc so despicable in point of numbers
and influence. But it is not enough that these
Abolitionists should be permitted to petition Con
gress, to traverse the entire North, and lash their
fanatical zeal to the highest possible pitch of ex
citement ; the Southern members must not speak
a word; they must quietly retain their seats
while these fruits of Northern fanaticism are si
lently laid on the table, there to rest until the
Van Buren parly find it convenient to act upon
them ; they must not dare to rise in their places
and denounce this dangerous and unconstitution
al interference with their rights, because such de
nunciations will "pull down" the Van Buren
Democracy 1! or, in other words, while the Abo
litionists are to bo permitted, under the plea of a
constitutional right, to petition Congress from
year to year for the abolition of shivery, South
ern members of Congress are to be denied their
constitutional right of rising in their places and
defending the interests of their constituents; be
cause, if they do so, the spell which designing
politicians of the North, aided by their pension
presses in the South, have cast upon th#t devoted
and confiding section may he dissolved. But the
South will out: the effort has been to dodge tho
question. Mr. Beardsley who is tho leader in
this movement, knows that Mr. Van Buren will
receive tho entire Abolition vote at the North.
He believes, that if Mr. Van Burcn’s partisans in
tho House shall deny their right to petition Con
gress upon the subject, he will bo in danger of
losing their vole ; hence his desire to avoid that
issue; and hence the Globe is made to affirm their
right to petition; while on the other hand the
“ dough faces” of the South are to be wheedled
into the belief that there is no danger, by hollow
and insincere professions of a regard for their
l ights anil interests We alaij to sen that
tins game is understood, and that Messrs. Ham
mond and Pickens are not if s only Southern
Representatives who are resolved to make an is
sue, direct and distinct, the question of how fur
the Abolitionists have a right to interfere with
slavery. Messrs. Hammond and Pickens have
done their duty, and will be rewarded by tlie ap
probation of their constituents.

AUGUSTA JHAUKET.
COTTON.—The market is quite dull, and
nothing of consequence has been sold since the
news of the great Fire in Now York. It appear*
that negotiations arc somewhat curtailed for the
present; tills, with the accounts from Liverpool
to the 4th November, being }d per lb lower, (sec
extract of letter below,) will reduce the price of
Cotton in this market for a time; There has been
so little offered for sale, since our last, that wo
cannot give quotations.
Extract of a letter received in this City, dated
“Savannah, 28th Dec., 1835.
“I find there are accounts from Liverpool, via
Mobile, to the 4lh of Novemlier, saying that Bales
of the l ist three day-, were made at }d lower,”
; Savannah Market, Dec. 24.

f Upland; and cleared in the same lime 10467
, bales, leaving a stock on hand, inclusive of all on
, ship-board, not cleared, on lhe2ith inst. of 30691
. bales. On the date of our last review, a demand
, for Uplands sprung up which having continued
. through the week, has caused a heavy business at
. a decline of } a } cent on the rates current previ-)
. ous to tho receipt of Liverpool advices to 81st Oct.
. The sales yesterday, which 1 are not included in
I our returns, are believed to have been considerable.
, The sales have amounted to upwards of 9000
. bales, the particulars of which are as follows : 40
, at 12, 60 at 12}, 56 at 12}, 97 at 12}, 185 at 13,

Cotton.-— There is little doing in the Cotton
3 market just at this lime. Prices have receded
3 somewhat since our last, particularly within the
!, last two or three days. Fine Cottons would not!
. probably command over 10 cents at this moment, j
. through this description is scarce and in request,
t There have been no inferior qualities sold as yet j
. this season, and wc arc, therefore, unable to give j
f quotations. The inquiry for inferior Cotton, of (
, which wo spoke in our Inst, wc learn was more i
, with a view to speculation than any thing else,
I and was both transient and ineffectual. There
i exists at present no demand for any grade below
. fair—and even for qualities above; there is con
, sideralilo variance between the views of buyers
. and holders. The market is in a very unsettled
. condition. Tho receipts of Cotton this week
have been 4,960 bales-—the exports have been
, 7,918, leaving in nil a stock on handof 24,808. —

New-Orlkans Market, Dec. 19.
Colton. —Arrived since tho 13th inst. 17,542
bales. Cleared in tho same lime, 11,663 bales—
making an addition to stock Os 5979, and leaving
on hand, inclusive of all on ship board, not clear
ed, on the 17th inst, a slock of 57,648 lalles. The
sales in all, since our last, amount to less than
1200 hales, generally of choice Cotton, and at a
fraction below our former sales of the same quali
ty ; for the low and midd ing varieties holders can
obtain no offers, buyers obstinately refusing to o
. perate unless at a very considerable reduction in
