THEATRE—'VENTRILOQUISM.
We last evening attended the Theatre, to wit
ness the exhibition of the Vcntriloquial powers of
Mr. Kks worthy, and Master Platt, and not
withstanding the inclemency of the weather, we
ere much pleased to see the respectable and or
derly audience, and more so with the exhibitions
of the evening. Every thing went off well, and
the audience were delighted witlr the numerous
imitations, Ac. given. Little Bobby performed
his part well —so well indeed that we almost con
curred in the opinion of a countryman, who sat
next to us, who, when Bobby was half through
his lessons, topped ns on the shoulder, and asked
us very seriously, if that was not a live critter.
We have witnessed the performance of several
Ventriloquists, butas yet have seen none that sur
pass Mr. Kenworthy.— Constitutionalist of yes

BEAUTIFUL COTTON.
We had the pleasure of seeing, yesterday, in
the hands of Bens. Baihd, Esq., Waiehouse
and Commission Merchant of this city, a sample
of the most beautiful upland Cotton we ever met
with. It was from a lot branded “ Millwood,”
received from the Plantation of Col. James Ed.
Calhoun, of Abbeville District, S. C. Alike in
texture as in cleanliness, it is probably unsur
passed, if equalled, by any ever presented in this
market, except from the same source; and we
understand that Col. Calhoun’s Cotton al
ways commands at least a cent and a half per
pound, in this market, more than any other. His
great pride is to make good cotton—a pride wor
thy of a true Southern man—and a true South
ern man he is. With a highly cultivated mind,
of great literary and scicntitic attainments, and
a modest, sensitive, highminded and chivalric
spirit, unsurpassed even by that of the Bayard,
after traversing almost the entire globe, and pen
etrating almost every possible storehouse of
knowledge, he has quietly sat himself down in a
retired quarter of his own beloved and gallant
State, to devote himself to the improvement of
her agricultural interests, and particularly of that
great and incstimabla staple article, upon which
her prosperity »o greatly depends.
SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER-
The October No. of this highly and justly po
pular periodical, so beautiful in its typography,
aud excellent in its reading matter, is received ;
and, though late in eoming, the great value and
interest of its contents, fully repay us for the dis
appointment of the delay. We regret that we
have not now time to refer to them particularly.
For the table of them, see our advertising columns.
The cause of the delay is stated to bo sickness in
•he office, and the difficulty of obtaining work
men.—Wc decidedly approve of the intention to
commence the next volume with the new year, &
particularly, that of publishing the first, No. (and
wc presume each succeeding one,) on the first of
the month. With Mr. W hite's remarks “To the
friends of the Messenger,” we heartily concur, as
we do, also, in approving the unquestionably “hon
orable means” he mentions, of advancing the inter
ests of his work; and wo mentien this the mow
cordially, as we expressed our decided dhappro'
• val of the unjust reflections on it, made sometime
ago, and arc gratified to find that he has had the
; manly independence to judge for himself, and not
softer himself to be driven from his just and hon
. orablc ground. That such “moans” may be
- abused, is not to be denied; but so may all o
, thers, however good, and if whatever character ;
_ and if the object had been to censure the abuse
and not the use of them we should not have com
-5 plained, provided any abuse could be shown, and
'* shall always be as ready as any one to censure
( such abuse even though wo find it practised by
- our respected friend, the publisher of the Messen
> ger.—lt was unnecessary, however, for him to
exculpate Mr. Poe from any participation in this
1 matter. No honorable mind, that has marked
, his fearless, independent, and admirable conduct
' of the Messenger, and the highminded and chi
valric sentiments manifest in his writings, could
f possibly suspect it; and the reflections of any
• other are unworthy of consideration, since they
j cannot fail, in due time, to be properly understood
. and appreciated.
i
THE GOVERNOR’S HOUSE.
In some late remarks on the Governor’s Mes
' sage, wo alluded briefly to that part respecting the
I inadequacy of the appropriation for the erection
i of a Governor's residence, and urged an increase
, of it, intending to refer to the subject again. Pross
'' cd for time, wo now subjoin our remarks of last
year, which, after speaking of the Governor’s
splendcd social party, given to the members of
t the Legislature, and others, continue as follow :
1 “ Indeed nothing was wanting to the enter
tainment, but such a building and suite of rooms
as would properly accommodate the guests of n
! Governor of Georgia, and in which the people of
Georgia and their Chief Magistrate might be
' mutually proud to meet and salute each other.
\Ve are no friend to official magnificence and
luxury ; or the opposite extreme; but there is a
happy medium, in this, as in other matters, com
bining substantial dignity, without shew, and re
publican plainness, aud simplicity, without un
seemly littleness, disproportion, and make-shift
. niggardliness, which might well ho rendered more
conspicuous, in the public residence of the Gover
nor of Georgia. As such, the present small, old
fasllioned, decayed wooden building, is most un
seemly, mean, and contemptible, and, either in
side or out, may wgll excite the blush of shame,
on the cheek of every Georgian. Mark, too, the
moral influence of such things, on the minds of
those, who after seeing them, look upon the mag
nificent public buildings at Washington, and the
princely palace of the President. Do they not
necessarily excite a contemptuous sense of mean
ness, weakness, and insignificance, against the
Stales, and dependence on the General Govern
ment, at war with the facts, the true interest of
the former, and the proper manly dignity, pride,
and self-dependence, of a free people I Created,
as the General Government was, solely for the
benefit of the States, and not of itself, has it not
already extracted from them almost everything of
public wealth, talents, services, pride, ambition,
and glory, that could nuke any man proud of his
own State, and his feelings glow with patriot
ism and affection, at the mention of her name.
What public man now limits his ambition to his
own Stale, and devotes his talents and industry
to her service I WJio courts her offices and hon
ors, except as mere stepping-stones to those of
the Federal Government 7 Even her Chief Mag
istracy—the highest office in her gift, and which
should be second to none, except the Presidency
—is now of less dignity and interest than scores
of the subordinate offices of her General Agency ;
and who cares to inhabit such a house as that of
the Governor of Georgia, if he can obtain any
subordinate station amid the splendor and magni
ficence of the Federal City 1 Our pride and pa
triotism were deeply humbled as we thought of
these things in the insignificant mansion of the
Chief Magistrate of our beloved State ; and wo
felt, with many others, that it was due to the
State, and the office, that the incumbent of the
latter should be furnished with a residence in
which he could dispense, to strangers and citi
zens, the hospitalities appropriate to his station,
in a manner worthy that station, and the State.
We are gratified to learn, that a general con
sciousness of this, on the part ol all present, has
excited some reflection on the subject, and will
probably load to an appropriation to carry it into
effect. It is generally conceded among the mem
bers, that fifteen thousand dollars should he ap
propriated, to erect and furnish a new Govern
ment house; but this is, in our opinion, too small
a sum, by onc-fouith, at least, if not one-half,
since private residences often cost twice that sum.
' It is better, however, than nothing, and we hope
will bo appropriated, rather than nothing, but
should prefer a larger and more substantial buil
ding than we think ten thousand dollars will ob
tain—it being considered that the other five thou
sand should be devoted to the furnishing of it.
{ We should be gratified to see the Legislature
j take into consideration the propriety of increas
. ing tho salary, also—throe thousand dollars being
- ; altogether inadequate to tho station, particularly
, ! when wc consider the expensive, appropriate hos
; ' pitalities of it, and tho talents and character so
1 j desirable and important to it. It is but half the
- amount of the salary of tho Cabinet officers of
e the Federal Government. No man can dispense
. I the appropriate hospitalities of the station, with
. out a sacrifice of one or two thousand dollars out
i of his own pocket, over and above the salary, to
- say nothing of tho necessary loss of his time and
o attention from his own private affairs, which to a
c man of large property, is an extensive, and often
J very injurious one. And what Georgian, with a
if proper sense of self-respect and patriotism, would
e desire the Governor of his State, not only to sa
s orifice his time and talents wholly to the State,
i- but to evade the hospitalities incident to tho sta
r- tion, or pay the cost of them out of his own pock
e ct I We (rust the people will think of those
j- things, and do justice to their own character, the
character of their State, and the character and ser
vices of their Chief Magistrate.
Milledgetillk, Friday, Dec. 11.”
PROM THE SAVANNAH GEORGIAN.
“ William C. Dawson. —This gentleman has
received the undivided support of the minority in
this county, and in tho Eastern District. Will
the people remember that he was the active and
untiring opponent of Savannah, and her interests
in the last Legislature, when a Senator from
Greene, as regards our Rail Road Banking Char
ter!”
So much for monopolies, and their anti-repuhli
, can, tyrannical,and proscriptive spirit. Here is the
entire minority of a ceunty held up for censure
before the public for supporting a candidate of
their own principles, merely because that candi
date refused to sacrifice his principles, (which
we believe are opposed to all Banks,) to that
mammoth outrage upon liberty, principle, and
the rights of the people, the Savannah Rail Road
Bank 1 And this, too, in the very face of tho
triumphant majority which ho has received from
the entire people 1 As to his being an “ active
and untiring opponent of Savannah and her in
terests,” wo deny it, and defy it to bo shown. As
well might it be said that we arc opposed to Sa
vannah and her interests on account of our oppo
sition to tho mammoth Rail Road Bank in ques
tion, after having openly opposed the Charleston
Rail Road, and urged our citizens not to take
stock in it, on tho ground that it would divert
tho commerce of our Slate from Savannah, our
own seaport. But what care monopolists and
stock-jobbers for this, or for any other evidence of
honesty and principle in those who oppose their
selfish purposes. Their object is to c-y down all
who oppose them, by any means in their power ;
and the article of tho Georgian is a very signifi
cant hint to “the minority of the county,” that if
they do not abandon their ptinciples, and “ bow
down and worship tho golden calf which Neb
uchadnezzar tho king hath set up,” they shall be
denounced as “ opponents of Savannah and her
interests,” and proscribed and persecuted by tho
majority and its monopolies. Thus, everything
—honor, honesty, political principle, and consis
tency —must bo made to bend to a mammoth mo
nied monopoly, and every one who docs not wor
ship it, in every possible shape it may assume,
and oppose its opponents, now and forever,
wherever they may appear, must bo denounced
and proscribed as “ opponents of Savannah and
her interests.” Col. Dawson may have declared
bis opposition to all Banks, and particularly all
such as this new and tenfold more odious Hail
Road Bank, and not only disclaimed all opposi
tion to “Savannah and her interests,” but as
sorted his willingness to advocate and sustain
them by any reasonable and just legislative mea
sures ; and many, if not all, of this “ minority of
tho county,” doubtless differed from him in rela
tion to tho Bank, and advocated it, ns did proba
bly all in Savannah, of cither party; but, no
matter, he opposed lire Hank, and they voted for
him as a candidate for Congress, in opposition to
the paily that established and controls the Bank.
That’s enough— down with them The party
supported the Bank, and the Bank must support
the party; and though they aided in the estab
lishment of the Bank, they now dare to favor its
political opponents, and oppose its political
friends: Down with them ! down with them !
So much for tho monopolists in Savannah;
and while writing tho above we received a letter
from a respected friend and truly patriotic politi
cian and member of the Legislature, warning us
of their increased and increasing power in that
body. Under date of the 27th, after speaking of
our unusual absence from Milledgcvillc, at this
time, (which has been caused by ill health,)
he says: “You doubtless will recollect tho com
munity of feeling between you and myself on
the subject of Monopolies. Well, sir ; rest as
sured that no session has presented such a com
bination of tremendous power, in favor of them,
as tho present one; and some, who with stout
hearts and eloquent longues hut led defiance at
them last session,arc now, not only silenced, but
absolutely gone over.”—All this wc expected,
and all this and whatever more, we arc ready to
oppose, regardless of all consequences, so long
as God may be pleased to spare us life, and give
us health and strength enough to use & pen; but
alas! what is our single voice to do, alone in this
Slate, and almost tho whole country, so far as the
press is concerned 1 Tho great mass of talent,
wealth, and influence, is on their side, and the
people are indifferent or in favor of them, even
while they tic their hands and rob them of tboir
rights and liberties.
From the Stale Rights Sentinel of yesterday.
The state of Indiana has gone for Harrison by
a heavy majority, say near 10,000.
Kentucky has also gone for Harrison, but tho
majority, is not yet ascertained.
Louisiana seems to be doubtful, so close has
been the contest. Our latest information is con
tained in a slip from tho Mobile Mercantile
Advertiser, of tho 251 h inst. which contains offi
cial returns from all tho Parishes but one, and
tho unofficial return from that one, by which it
seems that White’s majority in the state is 32
votes. From Mississippi wc have no definite
returns: the contest scorns to be very close and
very doubtful.
Alabama so far as heard from has given White
a handsome majority, hut there is no doubt that
the large northern counties will turn tho scale in
favor of Van Burcn by a considerable majority.
Van Boren's majority in North Carolina is
something less than 3000. The apathy of tho
Whigs in that state has lost the Presidential
Election.
The ship Bristol, from Liverpool for N. York,
was wrecked near the latter city, on tho 21st
instant, and 07 lives lost. The Bristol was load
ed with 250 tons of Rail Road Iron, and GO tons
of coal.
We are sorry to hear from Charlottesville, (says

the lower qualities of Uplands, and the general
impression that a decline from the pressure of

Lave been 2000 bales, at a reduction from } a }
cents. Cottons of very choice qualities yester

making an addition to stock of 15,510 bales, and
leaving on hand, inclusive of all on shipboard not
cleared on the 17th instant, a stock of 81.864
, bales. The transactions of the week have been
very extensive, amounting altogether to upwards
of 18,000 bales, but at declining prices, a reduc
i tion having taken place since our last, on most
. qualities, of about }of a cent. Other causes have,
perhaps, had some influence in putting tho mar
ket down ; but vve believe that it may bo mainly
attributed to tho difficulty of procuring vessels,
and to an unusual rise in Freight, added to which,
is the inability of giving them immediate des
patch, owing to want of seamen, who can hardly
be had at any price ; many vessels being com
pelled to remain in port for weeks, on that acount,
I after being otherwise in a complete state of readi
ness for sen. Those circuit,-nances, it will ap
pear evident, rendered it necessary for buyers to
solicit a reduction, in order to compensate thorn
1 for tho increased charges in shipment, and hold
ers being sensible that it needed some induce
ment to tempt Ibom to continue operations, yield
ed by degrees to accept the present currency.—

Mouile Market, Nov. 19.
Cotton —Tho week ending with yesterday eve
ning has been marked by a want.of animation on
the part of purchasers. The receipts have been
unusually large, and the quality continues to im
prove. Received this week 3658 bales, and cx
! ported to Liverpool 1197 bales, to New York 472,
to Philadelphia 129,—-together 1798 bales; leav
ing on hand and on shipboard not cleared, a stock
of 7663 bales. The transactions which are re
ported, have been principally filled by freight en
gagements,—prices being by the purchasers
deemed too high largo operators for the foreign
market are kept out. We think but little differ
ence exists between the prices of this and the pre
vious week, although a decline of }c on the mid
dling qualities, is spoken of. Wc prefer, howev
er, rather than indulge in speculations, to give
actual transactions; particularly in tho present
unsettled slate of our market. Operations of the
week amount to about 1500 bales, as follows : 65

Review of the Liverpool Cotton Market, for tho
week ending Oct. SI.
Great depression has existed in this market
during tho past week. The state of tho money
matket has been no doubt the occasion of this
chock upon our usually active operations, as,
, from the stale of the stocks, and tho expected
supply, there is no ground for a decline in pri
, ccs. The business done has been of the most
limited description, and generally at a reduc
tion of )d to }d per lb. on last week’s prices.
Indeed tho sales of inferior qualities of both A-|
, merican and Brazils cannot te made at these j
, prices just now. Os course nothing has been
done for speculation. The total sales are 8240
