KET. Since our last report ofthe transaction* In the Colton market, there continued to b« a steady de mand for Uplands, ul full prices, and in some pittan ce* a further advance of 3—8c. per lb. wus obtain ed. This steadiness and firmness contiuu-d from the 10th inst., up to Saturday lust, when later ac counts per Britaimiu were expected. On Monduy tho sales were very light, buyers showing but little disposition to enter the market, and holder* dispos ed to await the steamer’s advices.

[CORRESPONDENCE OP THE CHARLESTON MEBCUET.l Washington City, Nov. 24. 1845. I have beon informed from a source entitled to credit, dial tlto President’s Message will contain a recommendation to Congress to provide for the purchase of tiie lands of Texas, so that they may not come into competition with the lands of tiie United States, while ut tiie same time, Texas would thus be furnished with moans wherewith to pay her debt. My informant may be misinformed, and if lie be, we shall soon learn it, for the opening of Congress is near ul band. If, however, it should prove correci, it will lie tiie entering wedge by moans of which die ultimate assumption of all tire Slate debts by die General Government, may be sought to be achieved. It will certainly be an ad mission that the General Government bus a right to bargain witli die individual States—and if tile right bo admitted to exist, by bargaining with Tex as in this matter, strenuous eifurls will bu made to exercise tiie same right of bargain with die oilier Stales for the assumption of their debts. I-'kom Tampico.—The Mexican schooner Luna, eight day* Irom Tampico, arrived at New Orleans on tiie 20th inst. The Captain of die schooner represents that every apprehension of a war with tiie United Stales had vanished—that the presence of our (loot on tiie Mexican coast hud done serious detriment to the mercantile interest of that country, ns shippers thither from tiie Nortli could not effect i insurances—thul the merchants having laid these facts before their government, and it huving, through its Special Agent, Dan Luis de Argo, made . representation of diem to ours nt Washington, led i to die withdrawal of the fleet as a step preliminu. j ry to tiie resumption of pacific negotiations. i Rail Road Improvements.—The Mncon Mes. sengor, of Wednesday last, has tho following : — i • We learn from nn authentic source, that die Bus- !

We continue our quotations of tiie previous week, as a fair criterion of die Upland market at the close of business, with the remark, however, dial there are those who contend that die lower classi fications arc a shade too high. Savannah, Nov., 28. The accounts received by the Uriltania immediately checked operations, and as buyers and sellers cannot agree upon what tiie decline ought to bo, the sales of the last two days have been only about 300 bales, from jc. lo Jc. per lb. lower. The market closes in such an unsettled state, and the transactions since the accounts were received, so limited that it is impossible to give accurate quotations. Tiie sales of die week amount to only 1,590 bales Up land as follows : 5 at 6j ; 2 at 5j(; 2 at 6; 20 at 6£ ; 16 at6[ ; 9 at (ij ; 140 at 6] ; 43 at 6 916; 71 al6|, 105 at 6 11-16; 445 atOjj; 60 at 0 13-16; 1386 at 0£ ; 414 at 7; 19 at 7J ; 87 at 7Jc. per lb.

Savannah Republican Macon, Nov. 24. We have no new feature to notice in the transactions in our market since our last report. The receipts have been small, and consequently the transactions quite limited. A very lino article in square bales would bring from 6|to 6j cts. at which some sales have been i f ccted. We quote 5 a 6[ cts. Columbus, Nov. 26. There is nothing doing in our cotton market, as there is literally nothing coming in, and operatois are al! awaitingjlhe expected accounts by the Steamers now daily expected.

The market to-day, in consequence of die late for. oign accounts per Britannia, lias submitted to a tardier decline of j[ to 4 cent on die prices current previous to tiie receipt of the news, at which rates there was a fair demand. It is, however, proper to remark tliat.tlie mar ket is not well settled and prices are rather irregular — wo quote extreme 5 lo 7 cents—principal sales 6 lo Og cents.

Hansel!. for defendants, Me Allis- ter & Cohen, Seaborn Jones, and Andrew J. Mill er, Esqrs. The Charleston Mercury in remarking upon the Into foreign news says :— Tiie foreign news is in some 'particulars, very interesting, but wo must be cnieful not to overosti mate to such a degree ns to suppose wo are threat ened with n violent revulsion. Tiie reaction in tiie railroad speculations, will doubtless cause die ruin of many—but most of tlieso enterprises nre founded on good prospects. Nor is the fuilure of tiie provision crop so extensive ns many accounts represent it. Cotton is likely to he only tempora rily depressed,—for all tiie reliublo accounts we li.-ive, hold out a prospect of a much smaller crop limn is anticipated in Europe. Tiie picking is now nearly done, even in Mississippi,—nn unusual event. It is best, therefore, to tuko tilings coolly and to resist every tiling like panic.

Before the Legislature tliero are many applications fortliu incorporation of Manufacturing, and oilier Com panies. No bank mania, as in days past, appears to be attendant upon these applications. We are glad of this, for experience lias taught legislators, not only in Geor- gia, but in every State of die Union, that “banking priv ileges,’’ prodigally granted, hive resulted in loss to the many, and in absolute rum to a respectable minority of die people. The present then is a d.ffcrcnl, but a no less important era. Incorporations are applied for Irom almost every section of the State, nnd unlike those of 1835,'6 and’7, there is great need for them. Every energy of the great mass of our people lias been di rected too long lo tiie culture ofcot'.on. This great sti>. pie, tiio growing of which lias added so much lo the general wealth, has at last reached even beyond, if not die wants of die people, beyond that of tiie realization of riasnnable profit. The capital nccuimtlated in years gone by, if used fo increase die grow tli of cotton, would lessen still further die profit of tho culture, and it would be rare indeed, to find the planter who, after all his hard toil, could calculate upon 4 percent, per alumni upon his investment. Slowly, but surely, have these truths been impressing themselves upon our people. Gradu. ally have they come to the conclusion, tiiat capital must find, nut only employment, hut profitable employment, and that in diverting some of it from agricultural to manufacturing pursuits, it will continue to increase, instead of remaining stationary, or lessening from year to year. In addition to all this, the political economist for Georgia, sees great benefit to bo derived from capi tal finding now sources of investment. There is scarce, ly a county in our State, particularly in the cotton nnd Wheat growing regions, that does not afford water pow er sufficient to propel mills of any size; and there ar u many points al which tow ns and even cities would spring up, if, at them, capital were employed in maun, factoring. But when we, in addition to all this, take a glance at our mountain country—at the iron, tho copper, the gold, tiie marble, and at the magnificent water pew. er almost overy where displayed—it is indeed bard to answer why it is that our enterprising citizens and cap italists have so long delayed embarking in tiiat, which, if properly managed, yields so certain and so large a per coinage. All that 'vc can say is, tiiat cotton and negroes have hitherto sw allow ed up every tiling. At Columbus, manufactures arc on (lie advance, ami nt Augusta they will goon be in active operation.— From the Cherokee country, we shall soon find the Stale supplied with her own iron, and ere long, marble monuments, and marble ornaments, will not be shipped to us from tiie North or Europe. Middle Georgia, too, will aid to furnish the Slate witli domestic cotton fabrics of all kinds, and wo will not hesitate to say, that ere long, she will furnish other Slates with them also.— Tin- tendency of tiie times is to all this, and nought can stop it but improper legislation. There are two kinds of legislation which we con ceive to be prejudicial to the public interests, as well as prejudicial to private individuals or companies. One is tiiat kind of legislation which prodigally grants eve ry tiling that is asked for—and tiie oilier is tiiat kind which so tesliiats, that it grams nothing. The former giver too loose a roiu; the latter holds too tight a one. In cither case, tire public sad those more dirett'y in-
