THE ELECTION’.
It will bo seen by reference to the Election Re
turns from 53 counties—giving the average vote
in each county for the two Electoral Tickets—
that Col. Dawson has, so far, a majority of 3011
over Gen. Stanford, and the White Ticket a ma
jority of 2097 over the Van Buren Ticket.— A
letter from a highly intelligent member of the
Legislature, dated “ Milledgeville, 12th Nov.”
says: ” I believe it is now acknowledged on all
hands, that the White Ticket and Dawson will
be elected.”
In addition to the returns in the table, it is re
ported that the White Ticket has a majority, in
Henry county, of 200—and in Newton, at the
precincts, 50—total 250. And that the Van
Huron Ticket has a majority, in Cuss, of 75
—Cobb, 70 DeKalb, 63—and Twiggs B—total
216.
A letter was received in this city, yesterday, i
staling that in Coweta county, Dawson and the I
White Ticket have a majority of 40 votes.

“We request attentian, (says the Charleston
Mercury,) for the Prospectus of Messrs. Burner. 1
& Miller, in another column. From the light-!
er character of the proposed work, we presume I
that it will not conflict with the Literary Journal
and Southern Hose. There is room for all, and it'
depends upon the conductors whether there will
or not be a demand for all. Let the publishers be
careful in the selection of their Editor, remember
ing that easy reading is hard writing, and that it
requires a more accomplished Artist to give zest
to a light French dish, than to roast a sirloin.
We wish them success, and hope that the profits
of the woik will make up to them for their losses
by fire.
Since writing the above, we have an intima
tion that the editorial department of the “Coronal”
will be excellently supplied, and have therefore
no doubt that the publishers will never say hut 1
with pleasure "finis coronal opus". So mote it be.” j
GOV. CALL. i
The National Intelligencer of the sth instant
says:—“ We learn that an express started from
this city yesterday morning to Florida, to relieve
’ Governor Call from the command of the army,
and assign it to General Jesup.” A corrcspond
, cut of the Philadelphia U. States Gazette, also,
. writes from Washington, that Gen. Call had re
• signed the command of the army of Florida.

TEMPERANCE SOCIETY.
“A Temperate Man” is right. Our columns
arc always open to the members of the Temper
ance Society; and why should they attack others,
for not doing that which they neglect to do them
selves I We, at least, are not indifferent to the
Temperance cause ; and believe that we are as
zealous and consistent friends of it as any, even
in the Society ; but wo decidedly differ from the
Sociely, in much of its policy and mode of sup
porting it. This difference has been openly ex
pressed, (by leave) in a general meeting of the
the Society, at Athens, and freely discussed there;
and though its members failed to shake our hon
est opinions, we have refrained from urging them
n our paper, because we dispaired of inducing a
change of that policy and mode till lime had sat
isfied their advocates of their error, as wc are sat
isfied it will ultimately do; and we could not con
sent to make them instruments of mere dissension
in the cause, without the hope of effecting any
change. Since, however, the subject lias Bins been
brought before us,and the lime has already perhaps
become more propitious to a dispassionate discus
sion, we shall probably lay them before our read
ers as early as wc have leisure. At present wo
have not room to say more.
RAIL-ROAD CONVENTION.
The Convention recommended by the Georgia
Delegation in the late Knoxville Convention, as
sembled at Macon on Monday, the 7th inst. and

9th, after a session of three days. The counties
represented in it were Bibb, Baldwin, Cass,
Clark, Chatham, Cherokee; Crawford, Campbell,
Cobb, DeKalb, Fayette, Floyd, Greene, Glynn,
Gwinnett, Habersham, Hancock, Houston, Hen
ry, Lumpkin, Mclntosh, Monroe, Morgan, Mus

mond, Rabun, Sumter, Twiggs, Talbot, Tallin- ,

—33. The Georgia Hail Hoad and Banking
Company, and the Monroe Hail Bond Compa

Prince, Esq. and the latter, by Messrs. L. L.
Griffin, A. H. Chappell, .(as. A. Nihbet, T.
G. Holt, H. G. Lamar, and S. T. Bailf.t.
The whole number of Delegates was 107. The
Convention met in the Methodist Church.
Judge Jas. M. Wayne, of Savannah, (under the (
nomination of Asuuiit Hull, Esq. of Clark,)
was unanimously elected President, and Messrs. |
C. A. Higgins, and O. Gregory, of Macon, j
Secretaries. (
On motion of Judge Clatton, a committee was ,
appointed, of one from each county and Rail
Road Company, to consider and report on all do
cuments and resolutions presented to the meeting,
and referred thereto ; consisting of Messrs. A. S. ■
Clayton of Clark, W. Poo of Bibb, J. A. Cutbbert i
of Baldwin, Win. Hardin of Cass, S. B. Park- |
man of Chatham, Samuel Thompson of Chero
kee, Henry Crowell of Crawford, E. B. Thomp

Talbot, Foster of Taliaferro, Cobb of Upson,
Brown of Washington, King of Wayne, Ay
cock of Walker, Chappell of the Monroe Rail
Road Company, and Prince of the Georgia Rail (
Road Company.
On the next day, on motion of F. H. Cone, 1
Esq. the committee of 40, was instructed to “cn- ‘
1 i
quire and report what system of Internal Improve- \
ment, by Rail Roads, Canals, or navigable rivers, <
will best subserve the great interests of the State 1
On motion of Col. A. H. Chappell, the same
committee was instructed to “ enquire and report ,
what means of legislation or otherwise, are best i
calculated to bring about a harmonious and effi
cient co-operation of the various sections and
interests of the State, in constructing a ays- j
I torn of Rail Roads, connecting the commercial
! cities of Georgia with the Tennessee river.”
I And a committee was appointed to draft Rules
government of the Convention.
On Wednesday, Judge Clatton, from the
committee of 40, made the Report which will bo
seen in another column, and 500 copies were or
dered to be printed.
Mr. Sneed of Talbot, moved to strike out that
part of the first Resolution which recommends
the Legislature to construct the main trunk of the
road at the expense of the Stale ; which was re
jected.
The Convention was addressed by Messrs.
Clatton, Spalding, BranrEN, Glascock, and
others, on the subject of the Report, and Internal
1 Improvement generally; and the Report was a
-1 dopted with but two dissenting voices.
! Such is an abridgement of the proceedings in
I the Macon papers: The Milledgeville correspon
dent of the Constitutionalist, says: *• The Report
was amended by adding another branch to the
th roe recommended in the report, to pass through
Milledgeville. With this amendment the report
and resolutions were unanimously adopted by
the Convention.”
FOB THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE.
Messrs. Pemberton: —Some of the mem
bers of the Richmond County Temperance So
ciety, have expressed much regret that the con
ductors of the Press are indifferent on the all
important subject of the promotion of Temper
ance ; but, I will do you, and others, the justice
to say, that I believe your columns are always
open to the friends of the cause, and that you
will never refuse them an opportunity of appeal
ing to this community, in behalf of virtue and
morality. And lam afraid those who have so
expressed themselves, are glad of such an excusc
for their own indifference and want of energy in
a cause in which they profess so much zeal. I
therefore ask you to oblige me by insetting the
following article, which I have written in a hasty
manner, with the view of drawing attention to
one or two subjects connected with the cause of
temperance.
The discussions which have taken place, at
differelit Meetings of the Temperance Society,
lately held in this city, have been of an exceed
ingly interesting character, and I believe have
done mucli good. They have also served to
stimulate the friends of the cause, to eYcrt them
selves in its favor. If the Society was to hold
monthly Meetings, for the purpose of temperate
ly discussing the different objects of its forma
tion, ami invite the citizens generally to attend
their meetings, I think it would lend greatly
to increase the number of its members. But the
members of the Society will hardly expect the
public to feel an interest in its prosperity, when
they are themselves dead to every thing like ex
ertion in its behalf.
I am afraid there are members of the Sociely,
who express theirffclves with great warmth in its
favor, but when they have an opportunity of real
ly assisting the progress of temperance, let it
pass them, merely because such opportunity of
furthering its cause, may, possibly, in a very
slight degree, affect their interest. Only keep
the interest of the Sociely apart from theirs, or
the possibility of prejudicing it, and their zeal is
very great I
Are there not members of the Temperance So
ciely, who, after pledging themselves to “discour
age the use of Ardent Spirits,” traffic in the ar
ticle to a great extent, and make a living for
themselves, by dealing out this source of death
and desolation to others ? If not, I wish to be
corrected. But if there are such members, I
would ask, where is that consistency in their
lives and conduct, which should ever characterize
the acts, as well as the professions of all truly
conscientious men 1
If the Society was really formed for the purpose
of promoting the cause of temperance & morality
why are not its members “ up and doing,” when
they have so fine a field for action 1 Why do
they not endeavor to influence the legislature of
the State to pass a law prohibiting the granting
of retail Licenses to the extent wc now have
them, and which all will allow is a gross evil !
If they could succeed in raising the pric? of li
censes, so that it would amount to a prohibition,
or nearly so, they would confer a much greater
benefit upon this community than they have
yet done.
Are there not, also, members of the Society
who as holders of Real Estate to a great amount,
never refuse to rent or lease their stores, even if
they know the applicant will open a new Grog
Shop ?
I have asked the above questions for the pur
pose of calling the attention of (he Society to
subjects which ought to interest its members.
The number of Grog Shops in Augusta,are in my
opinion, a disgrace to the community ; and, they
certainly could not exist, if they were not liber
ally patronised. And is not the number almost
daily increasing! Have wc not many more of
those evils than when the Temperance Society
was first formed; and if so, in what way has it
effected a moral reformation—and where is the
evidence of it!
A TEMPERATE MAN.
From the Charleston Courier, 14 th inst,
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
In Pennsylvania tlio contest seems to have been
a close one: The Philadelphia Commercial
Herald of the 9th inst. a Whig paper, gives re
turns from all hut nine counties, and furnishes ;
estimates for those yet to he heard from, and
claims for Harrison a majority, in the whole
State of 2279 votes. The Philadelphia Inquirer
of the Same dale, also a Whig paper, gives re
turns from all hut seven counties, and claims a
Harrison majority, in the entire Slate, of hut j
3118 voles. Several of the estimates in the Her- j
ahl arc shewn to be erroneous by actual returns |
in the Inquirer —thus the former estimates the j
Harrison majority in Perry at 100, when the i
Inquirer shows it has actually given a Van Be- 1
rkn majority of 600, so tin? Van Buren ma- ;
jorily is estimated by the former paper, at 1300 ;
in Monroe, Pike and Wayne, while the actual |
result in the Inquirin’ swells the Van Bun en
majority to 2500. Wc have received no Van I
Buiien paper from Philadelphia as late as the j
above date. The Wing papers claim to have]
succeeded in electing a majority of Delegates to
the Slate Convention.
In Connecticut both parties claim the victory— I
New Haven and Hartford are said, by the Whig
papers, to have given considerable majorities for ]
HAr.nisoN.but the*N. Y. Evening Post, of the
Bth inst. gives returns more favorable to Van ;
Buren, and pronounces the State safe for that I
gentleman.
In Maryland there seems to bo no doubt of the I
success of Harrison —Baltimore has given a |
Van Buren majority of but 108.
Ohio. An endorsement on the margin of the ,
Wheeling 7'imceof Saturday says, “six town-!
ships in Guernsey county, Ohio, just heard from
; give Harrison 291 majority. The Whig ma
[ jorily in Ohio will he greatly increased.”
j The Virginia returns nrealso beginning to come
in, and there appears to boa Whig gam in some
of the counties but no opinion can bo hazarded
[ of lire result from the materials bclore us.
The City Council of Charleston have set
, apart Thursday next, the I7th iust. as a day of
thanks giving.

27, 13} ; and 8, 13 cents. The market has given
way since our last report about } cent on Uplands;
the choicest in market will not command over 19
cents: the demand is however good, and present
prices may probably hold for some time.
Flour —The demand lias been between fair,
mostly for city use, at our quotations. Sales of
Now York Canal, at 11 j.
Groceries —Coffee—Wo report 200 bags Cuba
12j a 13j and 200 hags Rio 13 cents. Sugar—

Mobile Market, Nov. 5.
Cotton —Received this week, 1980 hales, and
exported 743 hales—leaving on hand and on
shipboard not cleared, the stork of 4219 hales.—
Throughout the week there has been an active
enquiry, and transactions have been ns large as
the quantity on sale would admit. At the close of
last week, it was computed the slock on sale did
not exceed 150 halos, which with 1930 received,
makes 2130 hales brought into market; —of this
there remains only about 300 hales unsold. The
transactions have been parily fur foreign export,
and a part for Eastern manufacturers. Prices
have advanced on common qualities, we think,
full } cent; and on other descriptions } cent.—
This is attributed solely to the smallness of the
stock, and competition amongst buyers. The op
erations of the week amout to about 1830 hales,
at prices ranging from 15 to 19 cents; ihese are
the extremes, the pricipal sales being at 18} a
18ft. The quality will rale as middling fair, fair;
good fair, and good, agreeable to the Liverpool
classification.— Register.
New Orleans Market, Nov. 5.
Colton —Arrived since the 28th ullWio 18,423
bales. Cleared in the same lime 3765 bales;
making an addition to stock, of 14,660 hales, and
leaving on hand, inclusive of all on shipboard,
not cleared on the 3d instant, a slock of 55,232
bales. We have to report a continuance of the
same animated and extensive demand noticed in
our last, and several preceding numbers. Oflhc
whole amount received since the commencement
of last month, there now remains hut a very tri
fling portion of it unsold. In ihe transactions of
the present week, a decided preference, as usual,
has been given to the better qualities, though hol
ders have succeeded in finding purchasers for all
descriptions. Wc do not make any change in
our quotations, but remark that the sales have
generally been at lull prices. Liverpool accounts
to the 16th September have been in town since
the first of the week, extracts from which wo give.
Tile total operations from our last to this lime,
amount to about 16,000 hales. The price at
which some of the larger sales were made, have
not transpired; but wc subjoin a considerable list,
viz ; of Louisiana and Mississippi, 154 bales at
19,82 at 17, 149 at 17}, 70 at 20, 592 at IBj,

Liverpool Market, Get. 1.
Cotton. —The good demand, at the dale of our
■ last circular, of 241 b ull„ was continued on Mon
; day, 261 h, and prices a shade higher were obtain
: cd that day, but since the demand hart not been
1 so active as before, and more freely supplied ; and
! though a fair extent of business has been done,
the improvement oflhc early part of the week is
lost, prices being about as they were 24tli ult,
with scarcely so linn a market as at that lime,
and more difficulty in effecting sales at the cur
j rent rates. The business for ihe week, ended
last evening, amounted lo 22,300 hales, of which
7960 were Upland, at 8} a 12; 8160 Orleans at
! 7} a 13} ; 7100 Alabama and Mobile, at 7} a 12,
1 per lb. The import in the same lime was, 42,000
| imles, making the supply into Liverpool since the
I first January 865,000, again-t 814,000 in the first
nine months of last year. In the supply from
the United Slates the increase is 20,000 bales.
: The slock in that port is estimated at 256,000
hales, against 280,000 at the same period last year.
| The stock of American is about 167,000 hales,
i or 30,000 less Ilian at that time.
Get. 8. — Cotton. —During the whole of the
present week our market has been quiet, and the
j sales amount to 11,200 hales, as f0110w5:—4255
! Upland 8} a lift, lOd a Is, 3100 Orleans, 8} a
| lift, 2550 Tennessee and Mobile 8 a 12, 20 12},
dec. Arc. of which speculators look 1200 Ameri-
• can and 150 Surat, and export buyers took 100
American, 100 Surat and 160 Bengal. From
3 the little disposition shown on the part of the hol
; ders to force their slocks forward, there is no
1 change in price beyond the usual difference be
tween a brisk and a dull market; indeed wo may
I fairly call the market steady,
r Fho stock of Cotton in tiro ports of the king
dom, as estimated on tlio Ist instant, was, of all
t kinds, 322,000 bales, against 319,000 at the same
lime last year, and 260,000 on the Ist of October,
1834. And of American separately in the porta,
178,810 bales, against 222,500 on the Ist Oc
tober 1835, and 198,470 Ist of October. 1834.
1 Tims it will be seen that the total slock shows
' a trifling increase, hut that American is about
' 44,000 hales less, and East India about 45,000
’ bales more, than at the same period lastycar.
The imports and outgoings this week will not
materially alter the foregoing comparative esti
, mate. What may lie Ihe difference of slock held
in the interior, wc have no chance of uscertain
[ ing, but there is little hazard in estimating it as
larger than it was at this time last year. The
i trade goes on unchecked in the manufacturing
districts—4ooo hales East India, and 100 clean
do. and 200 stained Sea Island, arc declared for
public sale on Friday next.

in science shall be treated in a popular sty and
the latest and most fashionable works shall
