NEW COTTON. The first bale of new Cotton which was recei ved in Columbus, was sold for 41) cents per lb. It was brought from the plantation of Mr. M. R. Evans, of Muscogee county. In Hawkinsville, the first hale was received 'on the 20th instant, from the plantation of Mr. Robert Halsted, in that vicinity. HEALTH OF NEW YORK. The New York City Inspector reports 227 deaths (140 of which were children under five years of age) as having occurred in that city du ring the week ending on the 20th instant, which is a larger number than had been reported in any previous week, during the present year. The Journal of Commerce of the 23d says, that “not withstanding the great number of deaths, the general health is as good as usual at this season of the year.” AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. At a meeting of the Agricultural Society of Jlichmond county, on Saturday last, at .Spring Hill, the following Officers were chosen for the year: Gen. W. W. Montoomf.ht, President: Gen. Vae. Walkeh, Ist Vice President; Con. Da vid Tateor, 2nd do.; Wieeiam Longstreet, Esq. Secretary, and John Eve, Esq. Treasurer, 'The above officers of the Society, with the following Members, Wm. Eve, Paul Fitzsim ons, J. G. McWiiouteu, and A. B. Lono strket, constitute the Hoard of Agriculture. DEATH OP CAPT. GATES. With much regret we learn that Capt. Lemu el Gates, of the Ist Regiment U. S. Artillery, has fallen a victim to the unhealthy climate of Florida. Ho died at Micanopy, on the 7th in stant.—The death of this brave and gallant Offi cer will boa loss to the Army, as well as to socie ty ; and, we are sure, will be sincerely regretted by those of the Volunteers, who had the pleasure of his acquaintance, during the late campaign ■ and by whom he was much respected and es teemed, for his kind and gentlemanly deportment towards them. “THE COMPROMISE.” A writer in yesterday’s Constitutionalist, who signs himself “Baldwin,” seems to wish it to bo understood by the people of this county, that it was the Slate Rights parly who made the proposition for a compromise, which has been spoken of in another print so frequently.—Wo knew nothing of such a movement until the Courier made some very strange remarks respect ing it, and wo have heard but little said of it since; but, wc will assure “Baldwin,” that the Chronicle is not the organ of those who “ are pleading for the compromise;” and wc would ask him, how he knows that we or the State Rights party are “glad to accept a compromise” which he •ays “is to result in their (our) own favor.” If Jihoy proposition has been made at all, and we ore J||usurcd that there has been, the “ humiliating ac- Wknowledgement of our f their J own inferiority ,” ■-.hras made by members of the Union party ; and, after making such “ humiliating acknowledge - IK ' ments, they have found that their schemes wil | not succeed, they ought to have too much sell _ 1 respect to charge an act of their own commlting on their political opponents. We do not wi»l “to share the representation of the county,” uu X less wo can succeed by fair and honorable means an d wc defy “ Baldwin,” or any other writer, to shew that we have given them any reason to suppose that we would even accept of a compro ic mise. We say again, that il overtures for a com promise between the two political parties now existing in this count}', have been made by any J member or members of the State Rights party, a, let our opponents state who they are, and for " what purpose they made such overtures ; and if j they do not make this statement, we shall con s, siiler it an admission on their part, that they have y attempted to mislead the people of this county, hy making charges against the State Rights par fy> which they knew could not he proven. ,] STEAM BOAT CHATHAM. I Ihe new' Iron Steamboat Chatham, Capt. i- Wr.vv, gave her friends and the public an excur- II sion on the River on Friday afternoon. The ri ver was in fine order, and the easy play of the s machinery, combined with a pleasant tempera - ture, good company and the liberal hospitality of J the Captain, made the trip one to he remembered. a Wc believe the gentlemen lacked nothing but the C presence of the Ladies to have completed all their - wishes. The evening hid fair to be font, and > so Champaigne had to compensate for the real t pain of their absence.— Courier of Monday. 9 MAJOR GATES. , Wc learn from the Washington Globe, that the President has granted Ihe request of Major Gates, and has ordered a Court Martial, to “ re . examine and pronounce” on the occurrence which i took place at Fort Barnwell, and which is said to have been the cause of the unceremonious dis missal of Major Gates from the army, by Gen. Jackson. The Globe says, “ a material fact, whiclr- has made a strong impression against Major Gates, although not relied on by the court of inquiry, is tendered more than doubtful hy an examination of Ihe written testimony. The groaning which was supposed to proceed from the men who were shot outside the fort, and wl,i„h excited a strong disposition for a sortie, there is much likelihood was a stratagem of the Indians to draw out a por tion of the get rison. Wo aro assured, also, that Major Gates went out alone and approached with in sixty yards of the men, and saw that they were scalped, and to all appearance lifeless.” COTTON CROP IN ALABAMA. The Mobile Chronicle of the 22J inst. says : “ We have seen letters from Lowtidcs and Mont gomery, giving an awful account of the condition of the cotton crops. In many partsofbolh counties, and in every part of the State, wc learn that the worm has committed tremendous havoc. Many planters in Lowndes will not make their seed. Tills Is a sad reverse & must create groat distress pi the country. As fast as the bowls aro made, they arc,cut oil’by this insect which has made its appearance in Alabama, though not to the same extent as in the growing crop. We hope the ac counts may he exaggerated & that the apprehen sions of the planters may have led them to look upon the evil as being greater than it really is, •hough from the great number of concurrent statements we are led ourselves to fear that the worst is true. The crop of this State must fall far short of general expectation.” A LETTER FROM LIVERPOOL. A highly respectable and talented citizen of this Stale, who is now in Europe, has favored us with a long and very interesting letter, from which we make following extract —which will amply . repay the reader for its perusal.—We shall pub lish further extracts in our next. Liverpool, July Bth, 1836. There has been an almost universal political calm in Europe, for the past two months. The civil war in Spain, though the campaign had been looked to by both parlies with every possible preparation, and has probably exhausted the re sources, at least the “ sinews," of both; has not, as yet, been productive of any results more de terminate than previously. Don Carlos appears to have derived strength to his side, from some quarter, sufficient to counterbalance the aid, such as il is, that has been thrown hy England into the scale of the Queen. What can possibly he ■ the policy of those, who not only permit, but r maintain that sanguinary contest, lam utterly ■ unprepared to say —but unless it he of much ’ more importance than would appear to be the • case, al present, it will he a lasting disgrace to all I Europe. If England be really desirous of put i ting a period to it, why did she not send a force. ; sufficient to command success 1 Why tempo • rise, hy first permitting enlistments for the Queen’s 1 service, and when that was found to he insuffi cient, by sending the Marinos to her aid I Docs this arise from the incompetently of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, as is alledged by some, or 1 from a policy that desires to prolong the contest! 1 She surely encounters as much political responsi • bility to the rest of Europe, hy the direct aid of : the Royal Marines, as by an army of 50,000 men 1 —neither the quality nor the number can make ! the co-opcration less direct. ■ The recent • attempted assassination of the King of the French, is not believed to have had 1 any connexion with an attempt at revolution. It can lie of little consequence to French people ' whether they be governed by Lours Philifce, l or any other King—if they ho governed at all, it 5 must be hy one as nearly like him as possible. The Republicans are too few and too insignificant • * n cvcr y r cipect, to promise themselves, unless under the greatest infatuation, the least hope of ■ success, and they could not have instigated the assassin. It is said that there will be no cclchra , tion of “ lies Trois Jours ” this year—if not, it - will not arise from Lours Philipi-e’* fears of hi. ill dear people, hut from a deeper policy. King It- cannot too soon bury the recollections of a sue gi cessful revolution of the people, and more espc <h j cinlly, when such revolution he Ihe work of th ii- 1 lowest of the rabble, as in this case, s; j The Lords having denied any further relief ti :o , Ireland, hy the rejection of the several acts pass lo j ed hy the Commons for that purpose, a considcra a- j hie uneasiness is occasioned in the minds of th< i- j people here, as to the consequences; and that iv j uneasiness must be raised to a “ pitch of ngita y | tion" in Ireland—as well hy the injustice of the t, j act, as by the exertions of Mr. O’Connell. ] ir fear that the cause of this oppressed country if if i losing, rather than gaining strength, in England, i- j The connexion, whether direct or indirect, true e ior untrue, of Mr. O'Connell and his party with i •ho present Ministry, excites alarm and suspi -- j cion, and arouses the prejudices of the English— almost all tiro more respectable gnd wealthy ol whom are opposed lo Ihe “ Agitator,” and not without cause, for, in the emergency of his cir •• cumstanccs, denied relief or the hope of it, from the nobility and gentry, almost entirely, from whom, or whence could ho derive support, hut 0 from the lower classes! To succeed with them he had to adopt and advocate their principles. When f those principles, as they often do, contlict with ‘ the interests of the nobility and gentry, a violent e conflict is the consequence. These conflicts r have excited enmities and prejudices more than 1 sufficient to overwhelm a stronger and more pow -1 erful man than Mr. O’Connell, where lhe*deci sion is to he made by the majority of those as sailed. Already many important changes have t taken place, ami in several recent elections hy the r people, (entitled to vote) tlio Tories have gained strength immensely—and numerous addresses ( are no ' v tn preparation and going up from all ( quarters, promising support to the Lords in the stand they have taken; while the Ministers majority in the House of Commons is frittering down, and the journals which support them arc driven to the hardest necessities. It seems ex tremely doubtful, whether Mr. O’Connell be now, ' with all his power and talents, the best leader for ’ the Irish people; or rather, the evidence that ho is not, increases with every day. His abilities have never been shown in adjusting and reducing j ....... .v..... ,u iu,and common sense rules; hut altogether in arousing his sup porters to mighty efforts—in preparing for the contest, and animating their exertions during the conflict. Tiro battle, as regards the strength of parties, may be considered to have been won hy the Catholic Emancipation and Reform Bills— then Mr. O’Connell’s advice ceased to be valuable to Ireland; and some one should have been se lected of a cooler, calmer temperament —of a maturcr and sounder judgment—of a more mild and conciliatory manner—against whom no pre judices existed, no suspicions were entertained '• in whose honor and integrity all might confide— and on whose patriotism Ireland could rely. But where is such an ambassador or meditator to jbe found. Alas! the past history of that coun | j try’s greatest and most talented sons, compel me 1 | to reply, no where ! unless there he an exhaus ’ lion of English baubles, and English guineas— ■ or a new blood of Irishmen bo found. CREEK WAR. , We aro indebted to the editor of the Standard 1 of Union, for a slip containing the following in . telligoncc of a skirmish which look place be [ tween a small party of hostile Indians and about forty white men, in Irwin county, on the 18th instant, and reached Milledgevillc by express on Friday last: f “ Pindeutown, August 13, 1836. i Ills Excellency tint . Schley. i Sin :—On Wednesday evening last, a camp of ■ Indians was discovered hy Messrs. P. R. Oliver , and John Guy, back of Guy’s plantation, and near the river, six miles below this place. News of the same was immediately communicated lo the I citizens of the neighborhood, and wc . succeeded in collecting a company of thirty-eight men by 10 I o’clock, the next morning. Wc proceeded to the . Indian camp in two detachments, each of us as . suming the command of a detachment. Our par ty were so disposed, as to surround the camp, as . ter effecting which, wc discovered that it was . broken up, and the Indians dispersed in the di , rcction for Florida. The trails were very dim ! and artfully scattered for the purpose ofdccoiving , their pursuers, but having some experienced trail* , ors with us, we succeeded in trailing them, and , after a ride of twelve miles through the pine woods and ponds, came up with them in Irwin | county, in an open piny woods country ; as soon , as we came in sight, our men were ordered to I charge, which they did promptly and gallantly* raising, at the same thus, the war-whoop. The Indians, who weie drawn up in a line, were so i frightened, that they broke and run, not taking time and deliberation to bring their rifles lo a level to hear upon us; they discharged their pieces at us, when we were in about two-hundred yards of i ’ J them, and before they had time to reload, they r were overhauled hy out charge and soon dcspalch i ed. After the battle, which lasted about twenty minutes, wc went over the ground and found 11 j.| men, and wc regret to say, seven women, dead on ) | the field. The women so resembled the men in , i fficir dress, that wc could not discriminate be tween them in the engagement. Wc took throe women and two children prisoners; two of the j women arc badly wounded. The result of this engagement is, eighteen killed and five prisoners, comprising the whole party of the Indians, with out any loss of killed or wounded on our part.— j The Indians were on foot, and had little m noth ! ing with them except their guns and munitions ’ 1 of war. Wc have the piisorrcrs with us, and arc , s at a loss to know what to do with them. Wc ,f wish your Excellency would inform us whatdis e position to make of them. Respectfully, your obedient servants, it ' JAMES GAY. , SPENCER RILEV." gs The editor says:—■“Wo have conversed wit l c ‘ Mr. Si’enckh Riekt, who is now in our tuwn.- •e- He stales that ho had an encounter with the leai ke er of the Indiana, during the battle, and killc and scalped him with his own hands.

Mercury. COTTON CROP. 3 The St. Francisville Louisiana Journal, of the 18th instant says; 5 “ A few of our planters have commenced gn- I llrering the new crop, and already many bales , are housed. In a fortnight the picking will he general and good. The present prospect is not favorable to an abundant crop. In this parish it 1 will be short of an average crop, unless wc should , lie blessed with a late fall. From other parts of , fids state, and from Mississippi, we regret to learn that the prospects of the planter are not so flattcr ! ing as in East and West Feliciana.” Wc perceive hy our London papers, tliat the laige sleeves of ladies dresses have gone entire ly out of fashion.
