COTTON MARKET.
Our market during tho lew past days, has assumed
more activity, sinl although we do not vary our last
quotations, yet the atlh le has keen in fairer demand
than for some days preceding our last notice. Buyors
ure anxious to take hold, and holders seem to expect
better prices. For this feeling of confidence we can
not account, otherwise, than the reluctance of Planters
to sell at present prices, and their determination to
hold hack the residue of the crop. The receipts hive
keen very light, for the last two or three days they
have rather increased. We quote as current prices

Atfricnlitiriil Societies.
The institution ot these Associations are among the
most effectual means that can lie devised, to accomplish
reform, which all must admit, is needed in our system
of Agriculture. We rejoice to perceive, that our plant
ing friends have become aroused to a sense of the ne
cessity ofsdoiiig something to heller their condition,
which can only be done by making this noble pursuit
more of a science, and less of a mere vocation, hy
w hich a simple support is to he obtained. We have in
this county, (and our remarks are designed for Bibb,)
men of intelligence, worth and influence, whose time
is devoted exclusively to agricultural pursuits, or we
might with more propriety ssy, the culture of Colton.
Such individuals should be ambitious of obtaining all
accessible knowledge and information, which will qual
ify them as accomplished and skilful Agriculturalists,
as well as practical Planlers. The mental enjoyment
lobe deiived from the study of his profession, would
perhaps yield the intelligent Planter, as much true sal
isfaction. as he would receive from his returns in the
tangible form of goodpr cet for Ins cotton crop.
Upon every considrialion then, of interest, of true
end substantial enjoyment, improvement in our social
and moral condition, and nf individual snd Sute pride,
our plaining friend* should give their attention to this
all-import ant subject. To effect what is so much dc
a ired, they must seek for information i tbev mustseik
to Item-fil themselves by the ccpcrit nee slid science ol
those, who have made agriculture a scislice. as well a*
sultans of procuring a licrl.hocd
We are not a whit behind lice Northern Farmcts in
general iniell gencej hut,contrasted with them as cul
tivators of the Soil, we are lamentably deficient. In en
ergy ami enterprise, snd perhaps, indu try, In these
essentials of a skillul and successful Farmer, our
Northorn hirll.rcn sin deserving of praise, and
Worthy ot all iinita'i-in, Fitefe is no go al reason wrhv,
iu the business ol Faint tug. We should be inferior to
them, but every reason, why we should be their equals,
or their superiors ; our soil is less stubltnrn, snd our
climate more congenial, snd both belter adapted to the
successful culture of s gieater variety of products.
All we lack is nerve snd enterprize ; to supply
these dt ficiences, we must imitate the models furnish
ed us i we must adopt the methods used by those who
ate more experienced, anil belter inloru.ed, and we
must travel the same road they have gone over, to
teach perfection.
In every Northern Town and Village, you are sure
lo find an Ag-icullurot Sicitty. They are as common
os Debiting Societies, or J.vceums, snd their object is
the same—the dissemination of useful knowledge
W e must hive them too. Our pluming friends must
meet together, interchange their views, communicate
the results of their cxpeiiencci discuss such topics as
arc of mutual inleicsl, anti give to others the benefits
of their counsel and advice. By reference to our col
umns, it will be seen that some of our prominent citi
xrns, with a ctn hicndal le zisl, l ave uktn the matter
in hand, and they solicit the co-opeiation of their fel
low oilmens in the County, lo aid them in the organi
zation of an Agricultural ‘Society.
They appeal to the people of the County, tu meet
them at out Couit House, on the Ist Monday in next
Month. Del every Planter in U.bb county girc bis at

one, and will partake of moie interest, and evrntuite
in more practical good, than any political Club or As
sociation, whether U kig or Democrat, that ever will,
or can be convened. VVc again earnestly solicit our
country friends lo make It their bus’ners; ns it should
be, to come to Town, dii the first Tuesday in February,
attend the Meeting; and enlist tlirms- les in a rstise
in which they have an inteiest paramount to every oth

friendly counsel—go and do likewise.
SOUTHEKN CULTIVATOR.
We psliliah today the Prospsctua of tliia paper,*nd
bate rrcciveJ the firet number cf the new (fence,
which commenced with the present month. We last
week announced ibel iho Editorial department is now
Conducted by JAtS. CAM AK, Esq , of Athena—for
terms Ate. of the paper, we refer our readers to the
Proepeclus. The first issue gives us good earnest of
what the work will he under the management of the
present Editor. He has all the r.quisitc advantages
of science, practical knowledge on Agricultural sub
jects, industry and discrimination, to fulfil the duliea
he has assumed with credit to himself and benefit to
Ins readers. (Such a work will prase as great advanta
ges to our Agriculturists, over those from distant parts
of our country ; being adapted to our own climate and
locality. It* price will also place it within the reach of
every farmer; and they should recollect, that by cal
ling on any Poat-Maaler, they can have a dollar re
mitted I t sos coat ; slid we will vouch that no subscri
ber will l e the loser, or regret it at the end of the year.
The Annexation <|iie(ion.
W’ hat will be the result of the deliberation* of Con- 1
gres* upon tliia subject, no one cm divine.. The letter
writers from Washington, who perhaps, are leas to he
relied upon than any other authority, enleitain a eon
traiiety of opinion* upon the final disposition of the
question. Some ail or eight distinct propositions arc
now bef-ira Ilia House, with the view of conciliating
pojmlar f*vor. The Northern Democracy, aa a body,
are in principle opposed to Annriation ; the policy of
Ihrif demagogeeical representations is, to make the
matter aa less objectionable as prsetieahle, and thus, |
from party considerations, obtain ihesr raise lan l ac
quiescence. They may possibly succeed, but it will
he same time first. Aa the Whigs in the Mouse of
Representatives are impotent, and on this question,
■re mere lookers on,” we have to refer to De.ioemt-1
ic authority fur information. Tbe Northern- whig of
the pally, will not lake the subject to heart, ansi make
il, a* their Southern confederate* would wish it, a
question of life and death, of peace or wer, an issue
In which the eaistenca of this Union it involved. They,
we mean the eool calculating Northern Democrats,
view it with a provoking indiffere.c*, and they have t
be goaded, * hipt, and spuired even to the considera
tion of it. ‘I he Democratic papers seem to think,
that the question will not be disposed of et the present
“"•ion. They say, that the prospect of Annstetroo-
‘* elasJeJ ly the hoatihty of jfr] as VViighl and hi*
ft loads.
Alick, alack, for Southern gullibility ‘ Good easy
souls . VV e can hy k aukce adroitness, be mnde to be
lieve any thing. A part of our Democracy were for
Annexation. This w„, all they cared for. Another
portion of this harmonious Democratic Family, were
solely interested in the Repeal of the Ulack Tariff of
1845. And yet -ve.ee, wltat, with half an rye they ‘
might have seen themselves, that Silas Wright, the
Democratic candidate for Governor of New York, in
whose election they Were a few weeks since, wrought !
up to u fev.r heat of excitement, is now ihe main stum
bling block to Annexation, while the Democratic Cos
ernorof Pennsylvania, is equally strenuously oppos
ed to the Repeal of the Tariff. Huzza for Democrat- !
ic consistency 1
PENNSYLVANIA OUT OF THE Ivoot>3.
The Legislature of Pennsylv.nia w„. convened at
Harrisburg, on the 7th i„„. From the Governor’s
Message, we are happy to learn, that the condi, ion of
the finances is such as to sustain the declaration made
hy the Governor, that - there t. no manner of donSt
that henceforth the State will he able to meet not only
the interest on her public debt, but ill her other en
gugemcnU of evciy description. ’’
i Ills IS good news cheering to every citizen of the
Uuion. The repudiation of Pennsylvania, we were
apprehensive, was an ineffaceable blot upon our e>-
cutcheon : but every one who loves his country, will
rejoice to learn, that there is a prospect of this noble
State, soon obliterating the foul spot that has blacken
ed her fair fame, and made her name a bye word and
reproach throughout the civilized world.
1- rom the Message we learn that the entire amourtt
of the Public Debt of Pennsylvania is M 0,855 13,
and that the amount of interest ,!uo in Feb, is S97oa
395.
I lie amount in the Treasury on the Ist February,
will be $063,030.
On the 30th Nov. next, the balance in the 7’reasu
ry after payment of interest due, will be, $647,345.
This IS an encouraging slate of affairs, and old
I ennsylvania may be considered as -redeemed, regen
erated, and disenthralled,”
I he Governor (a Democratic Governor mind ye)
touches upon a subject of general interest, we mean
the Tariff—Wc recommend it to the special consider
alum ol our Democratic friends at home, who during
the laic canvass claimed the Democrats of Pennsylva
nia. < ibeir Natural Allies.
The Governor recommends th • maintenance, in all
substantial points of the existing Tariff Laws of the
Union. He ys distinctly, *• I hazard nothing in as
• serlmg, that neither of ihe Presidential candidates
• could have hoped, for i moment, to get a majority of
‘ ‘i ,c ro,r * *his State, had not his claims been based
• upon the assurance that lie was friendly lo the con
‘ tinuam e of Ihe present Tariff laws, substantially as
• they stand.”
LATER FROM MEXICO.
By the Picayune received yesterday, we have fur
ther news in relation to the movements of the revolu
tionists. From these accounts it appears, that Santa
Anna with a fmee of 13,000 men, had retreated he
fore Gen. Paredes, who was at the head of 8000 troops.
The retreat extended to the City of Puebla, when

later from Texas.
By the arrival of a Steamer si New Orleans, Texas
dales up to tho 7.h inst. have hern received.
A rumor was afloat that Gen. Green, the U. S-
Agent, had been harshly treated by the executive.
The policy of the new President, was said lo be, in
opposiiion to Houston ism, which meins ihe adoption
of efficient and warlike measures, to protect the coun
try from predatory excursion* of Mexicans and In
dians.
A majority of the people of Texas are in favor of I
Annexation, but opposed loCol. Benton’s scheme of
Union.
The Indians were committing great depredations,
such a stealing horses, burning mills, and destroying
crops, Ac. vie.
