A. W. Grier, resigned. It affords us plea' I sure to say, though a political opponent, that the [ selection is a good one, Gen. Summers being a zealous, able, and intelligent military officer, who , will do credit to this Brigade. - CITY COUNCIL. Axduew G. Bull, Esq. was elected a mem -1 her of the City Council, by that body, at its last ■ regular meeting, in place of Axduew J. Mil xer, Esq. resigned. FOSTER’S PUBLICATIONS. We have received from the indefatigable pub ! lisher, Ma. Tiieodouk Foster of New York, , through his Agents, Messrs. Rickahiis & Scot, 1 five Nos. of his excellent new work entitled Fos- I teb’s Cabinet Miscellany, the August Nos. , of Blackwood’s Magazine, and the Methopo r litan Magazine, the June No. of the London 1 Quabterly Review, and the July No. of the f Edinburgh Review ; but, for want of room, . must defer any further notice of them till our I next. 1 _ AMERICAN MONTHLY MAGAZINE. 1 We place before our readers, the table of con tents of the November No. of this very neatly t printed, interesting, and highly valuable period!- ■ cal, which contains, in addition to its usual va [ ricty of instructive reading matter, an exceeding ly beautiful portrait of Byron’s “ Gulnabe,” f drawn by Miss F. Con beaux, and engraved by Mr. Dick, of New York, from the London print. ’ This work continues its onward course of im -1 provement, and is richly deserving of a liberal ! patronage. ’ TRENTON, N. J. RACES. , On the 10th instant, the Purse of SIOOO, four . mile heats, was won by Mr. John C. Stevens’s . Fanny Wyatt, beating Gen. Irvine’s Mingo, Mr. Thompson's Encciro, and Mr. Kendall’s Campsidcl. Time—lst heat, 7m. 48s.—2d heat, 7m. 535. On the same day, the Now York Spirit of the Times stales that “Gen. Irvine’s Mingo re ceived forfeit Isom Mr. Tillotson’s Post Boy, in a match, four mile heats, for $5,000.” MR. TOWNS’S RESIGNATION. The Millodgeville Recorder of the 18th instant, says:—“A Resolution was introduced in the House of Reprosciitativos, on Wednesday last, and passed that body, calling on the Governor for information relativoto the Resignation of Mr. Towns, to which the Governor yesterday replied, staling that he had only received a letter from Mr. Towns inquiring whether he had received a communication from him, dated Pontitoc, Mi.” SEMINOLE WAR. The Tallahassee Floridian, of the 12lh inst. says; —“ Our latest intelligence from the seat of war is of a more favorable character—Gen. Read, alter encountering many difficulties, has succeed ed in establishing a depot of provisions at Camp Graham, on the Withlacoochce, two miles above (he Block House, and about eight below the cove. Two steamboats arc on the river,by means of which ample supplies of provisions and forage have been transported to the very seat of war.—A commu nication has been opened with Fort Dranc.—The dill'ercnt divisions of the army were concentra ting around the strong hold of the enemy.—Gov. Call writes, that the friendly Indians were active and useful—and that ho has hopes of bringing the war to a speedy termination. Our citizens may congratulate themselves on the favorable as pect which affairs have recently assumed. On this day it is expected that the army will ho pre pared to strike a decisive blow.” HICKORY JOHN Sc MISS MEDLEY. As the time approaches (which is tiro Cth of next month) for the settlement of the question whether the “ Grey mare is the better Horse,” upon the issue of which the sum of SIO,OOO will be staked, it might not be amiss to inform the Sport ing world that both nags are in fine trim and ea ger for the fray. It would ho difficult to say which party is the more sanguine—Miss Medley defeat ed Hickory John at Macon, previously to that had beaten Lady Nashville over the same course in 7,45 and 7,44, aftd subsequently to her victory over Hickory John, has won two four mile races at Columbus, in fine style—no wonder, then, that her friends should feci confidence in one that has never deceived them, when in condition. On the other hand the friends of Hickory John think that although he was unfortunate in his career last winter, that his frequent defeats were owing to want of condition—Their horse is more ac climated and in the hands of Mr. Hammond, one of the most successful Trainers, that we know of— He it was, that first brought and Bill Austin into notice, and under his management Busiris made the best run that he achieved, which was the greatest effort of that season. For these and other reasons the friends of Hickory John are almost if not quite as confident of suc cess as the friends of Miss Medley. It has been suggested by the latter that Hickory John would pay forfeit. They may make themselves easy on that score, for John’s backers will put up the whole amount as forfeit on any day that they may call, if it he tomorrow. We speak “by au thority.” Nothing, wo arc assured, will prevent a race, hut the sickness or lameness of one or the other.— Courier oj Friday. MILITIA LAWS. We perceive that a hill to appointan Adjutant General, and an Assistant Adjutant General, and j prescribe their duties, has passed the House of Representatives. This is all very well, of itself; but the provisions of the bill should have bacn incorporated in a gen eral law, or code, revising, i- amending, and consolidating the militia laws of n the State. Where is the general law or code e prepared by Messrs. Menai wether, Schley, i- and Cuthbert, under the appointment of tho if Governor, by authority of tho Legislature of if 1833, and laid before the Military Committee of i- last session 1 Will not that answer the purpose 1 in '■■l. r~~~ — 7 ==— J If not, amend it, or prepare another one ; hut at ' any rate let us have the entire militia law in one j body. Wo arc afraid, from the passage, separate ly, of the abovementioned bill, that this deeply im portant matter will again be disgracefully neglect ed, and made to give way to -Yew Bank laws, and othet selfish, corrupting, and ultimately ruin ous measures. We hope not, however, and offer tho following suggestions, for the consideration of those members who may agree with us : The different provisions of the general law, or code, should be arranged under appropriate heads —such as, Orders—Elections — Parades — Fines Courts of Inquiry—Courts Martial—Exe cutions — Exemptions, or Privileges, &c. &c. The time of assembling for muster or parade, (now fixed at 11 o’clock, A. M.) should die left to the discretion of the commanding officers, at least in Augusta, and other cities similarly situa ted, whore, (not having, as in the country, a dis tance to travel,) the men can assemble ns easi ly at 10,or earlier; and, the afternoon being a more leisure time with men of business —particu larly Saturday afternoon—tho Company musters, at least, should be ordered for such time, and even the Regimental and Battalion musters, when the days ate long enough to admit of it. It should be made the duty of Field officers to attend at least every other company muster in their respective Districts, or detail some suitable person for that purpose, to take command as in structor, as in the Regular Army. Sec the fol lowing extracts from Gen. Scott’s “ Infantry Tactics,” now ussd by tho Army—vol. 1, page 17.—“ Each general officer and colonel will be responsible to bis next superior, for the general instruction of his Division, Brigade, or Battalion. Theliout. colonel and the major will each bo re sponsible to the colonel, for the instruction of a wing of the Battalion.”—“ In the School of the Company, the lieut-colonel and the major, under the colonel, will be the principal instructors, sub stituting frequently the captain of the company, and sometimes one of tire lieutenants—tho substi tute, as far as practicable, being superintended by one of the principals.” The Field Officers should bo authorized to or der drills, of all the officers and non-commisioncd officers under their command, as often as they may deem it necessary to a proper acquaintance with their duties; and take the command. It being essential that all should know their respec tive duties, and necessary to that effect that they should either learn them themselves, or be author itatively taught them by others, if they desire to a void the above duty, let them instruct themselves; and those who do so properly, should be excused from such duty, at tho discretion of the command ing officer. The Captains should bo authorized to increasa the present number of company musters, (four,) to six, if they should deem it necessary ; (and he required to do so by their superior officers, when they deem it necessary ;) which will induce those under their command to pay such attention, at the four, as to make it unnecessary. There should be one Regimental muster, (or Battalion muster in counties containing but one Battalion,) each year, by order of the Brig. Gen I.; one by order of the Colonel, (or Major, as above ;) and one Battalion muster, by order of the Lieut. Colonel, or Major: as established by the law of 1818. The 35th section of the general Act of 1818 should be amended, so as to make clear, what was undoubtedly intended, but is not always so understood, that the disqualification enacted should not extend to cases of promotion, or elec tion to higher offices. The entire mode of collecting fines should ho made clear and unquestionable, and the execu tions levied, in all cases, by a constable of the Dis trict, (or in Augusta, of the city,) instead of by a constable or the Provost Martial, as now. If this be not done, the Provost Martial should bo requir ed to hand over immediately, to the Paymaster, the sums collected, instead of within six months, as at present, by the law of 1831. The Oaths of Courts of Inquiry, as established by the law of 1818, and abolished by the law of 1831, should be re-established. The law of 1831, amending (or rather alter ing,) by substitutes, the 15th, 22nd, and 24ih sec tions of the general act of 1818, should be entirely repealed, not only because it abolishes, impairs, or renders doubtful and uncertain, several of the most important features of tho militia law ; but also, because the glaringly ungranjpiatical, awk ward, and ambiguous style, in which it is writ ten, renders it a disgrace to the statute hook. If this be done, of course the amendments of it, in tho Act of 1833, should by repealed also. If nothing else can be done for tho Militia, this ses sion, of course this may, easily; and] we care nestly hope it will not he neglected, since it will do much, very much, for the militia system. Tho citizens of Richmond county should still, ashy the law of 1824, be exempt from assem bling as a Regiment, but subject to the orders of the Colonel, and to equal duty in Battalions; and j the local or special provisions, generally, in rela tion to this city, should he continued. We shall continue the subject in our next; and will conclude, for the present, with tho following excellent remarks from the adopted Report of the Military committee of tho session of 1833 : “The Militia law, as it now exists, is so embar rassed with alterations and amendments, as to re quire much labor to ascertain what it really is. In a country like this, whore the chief reliance of the State, for all military operations, is on tiro great ' body of the citizens, tho military laws should be 1 plain and simple, yet securing, at the same time, > the most prompt and efficient action in case of f public alarm or danger. Tire military strength ' of the country docs not consist so much in its > numerical force, as in the discipline of its troops. ! Frequent exercise is essential to perfect discipline, f and no duty should be more freely performed by F a patriotic people, than that which befits them for I ' the defence of their country.” • BANKS! BANKS!! BANKS!!! Notwithstanding tho enormous and most out rageous increase of Bunks, at the lust session, the present one is again beset with petitions for nu merous others, many of which, we presume, un der the usual corrupt “ log-rolling ” system, will bo granted. The applications we now recollect, arc as follows: By the Darien Bank, for all increase of its capi tis! from about one million, (which is already greatly too much,) to two millions ! [See the pro ceedings of the Board of Directors, in another column.] How can this iHstilution have the ef frontery to ask such a thing, after the manner in in which it has been managed, and the many alarms and difficulties to which the public have been subjected, in relation to it. Nothing could have saved it from destruction, long ago, but tho very improper intercat which tho State holds in it, and the manner in which it has been propped up from time to time, under that pretext, by the Legislature, and corrupt party influence. This, however, is only covering the disease, not healing it; and the longer it is practised tho more corrupt and deadly will be the wound, ami certain and distinctive its future death. By the Insurance and Banking Company, of Augusta, for an increase of Stock ! By tho Insurance and Trust Company, of Augusta, for Banking Privileges J By tho Columbus Insurance Company, fol Banking Privileges, and an increase of capital I By the Monroe Hail Road Company, for Banking Privileges ! To establish a -Yew Bank in the village of Cassville! “ To establish a New Rank in Brunswick ! and To renew the charter of tho Planters Bank of Savannah! Now there is not one o( these applications, or any other similar one, however comparatively just or desirable, that could pass, or would even be seriously considered, on its own intrinsic merits alone, unaided by any selfish individual, local or party influence, or combination. But the friends of each can command, by some selfish motive or other, personal, local, or party, a certain number of voles in the Legislature, and all, or enough to command a majority of such votes, club together, and get the members they control to do the same; and thus, by “ intrigue, bargain, and manage ment,” votes arc exchanged on each question, and a majority secured for each. Can a more cor rupt and vicious system bo coinedved ? And is it not all done to defraud the people, by these Licences to Cheat, as such Banks should always he entitled—and indeed all; for all are founded upon a system of rank delusion and deception! If any one doubtor deny this, let him come for ward and declare it, and wo will make issue with him before the public—our paper being open to any one who chooses to do so. How long will the people suffer themselves to be bamboozled iu this way 1 How long will they hold out their hands to be tied by Stock- Jobbers and Monopolists ? They boast of their Democracy, and inveigh against Aristocracy, and yet they create, or permit their Representa tives to create, the worst of all possible Aristocra cies ! Can it bo possible that they are capable of governing themselves, under such circumstan ces 1 or are they unwilling to perform the task, and therefore leave it to any who will do it for them 1 FROM FLORIDA. By the steam boat Florida, Capt. Hcbbard, ar rived yesterday, wc received (ho Jacksonville Courier of Thursday last. Capt. IL informs us that an express arrived at Jacksonville half an hour before he left, from Gov.

Chattahoochee bottom is worth I?]. — Enquirer. Charleston Market, iNov. 19. Cotton —Arrived since our last to yesterday morning inclusive, 8805 bales Upland. Cleared in the same lime, 4569 bales. On shipboard not • cleared, 7337 bales. The sales have, been 4527 j bales of the new crop, as follows: 05, 19; 430,! 18}i 40, 18}; 936, 18}; 1192, 18} ( 1049,18}; and 623, 18 cents; 100 bales Singleton's brand, a superior lot, at prices not transpired ; and 22 . bales of the old crop, from 14 al6 cents. There is a fair demand for Uplands, but prices have giv en way a shade since our last report; purchasers aro not disposed to extend their operation without i a further reduction in prices. Wo continue our last quotation, as certain grades of Cotton come within their limits, only remarking that it re quires a good lot to command 18} cents. We regret that it has not become general with the Planters of Georgia and this Stale to pack their Cottons in square bales, the difference in price and demand would fully compensate the expense of compressing machinery.

There has been but 1584 bales received since the sth—about 800 holes ( hove been reported as sold. Received this week 1534 halos,—exported none, leaving on hand and on shipboard not j cleared, 5893 bales. The greater part of this f stock is on hoard of vessels in tho bay, whch will probably clear in a day or two.—Tire prices are about the same as last noticed, and holders show • no disposition to concede, —purchasers, in coi’.se t quence, are reluctantly compelled to give rates which they consider as too high, to fill some ol ! thoir orders, —which, for some time past, have ( boon multiplying on their hands.

The ' demand for Cotton continues on an extensive i scale, including all the varieties of which tho re- I ccipts aro composed, but at less steady prices than last weeks transactions. On Saturday the sales amounted to rising 3000 bales ; prices on, that day not materially varying from those previously current, though, on the whole, indicating a rather downward tendency; on Monday there was a pause—the market grew heavy, sales only reach ed to about 1700 bales, and from the little incli nation shown by purchasers to operate, holders were made sensible of the necessity of abating something in their demands, if they wished busi ness to proceed uninterruptedly, and prevent 100 great a slock from accumulating on their hands —a circumstance calculated of itself, in nil pro bability, to bring about a greater reduction than they were called upon to make. Acting on the view of tho matter, they gave way, on Tuesday F morning, from a half to three quarters of a cent, , and tho result was, that they were enabled to ef fect sales to the extent of nearly 7000 hales be fore the day closed ; since then business has pro ceeded steadily, each days sales being of a respec table amount; prices have recovered within a quarter of a cent of what they were at the date of our last, and our quotations have been regulated accordingly.
