raa; AaiHTJS* TBVRBDAY MORKIXG, SEPT. 18, 1638. Many of our brother Editors are apprehensive that the British government will follow up our Tariff, by an import Tax on the great staple of the Southern States —and thus exclude American. Cotton from a foreign market. VVe have no such fears. Great Britain will act in this, as she has done in every other regard, strictly with a view to her own interests j and she will not impose an v additional burthens upon her manufactures; she will not tax the raw material; because that would raise the price of the manufactured article, and enable the manufacturers of other nations to un dersell her. Let Great Britain impose a tax of a cent per pound on American Cotton, and the French manufacturers, who are rapidly increasing in numbers and means, would, in a very short time, exclude her fabrics from the continent of Europe. The American manufacturers would un dersell her in the extensive market of South Ame rica. There has been a great deal said of late by the British statesmen about the freedom of trade, re ciprocity, and all that kind of thing. But still, very little has yet found its w ay into her statistics; Every thing is excluded from her ports, either by high duties or positive prohibition, which can be produced at home. And it is only because Cot ton suitable to her machinery, could not be fur nished from her own dominions as cheap as from us, that she has ever consented to receive our Cotton. The new crop of cotton is arriving in greater quantity than it ever did, as early in the season.— As many as five loads wore taken, in one day, tins week at one warehouse. It readily commands 10 cents. But our river is still unfavorable from its low ness for either the shipment of produce, or the reception of mercantile stock. “NV e believe, it is a common opinion among our merchants, that, owing to the deficiency of last year's crop, and the improbability of an exuberant one of this year, that the planter will receive a better price for his cotton than he has done for one or two years past. — Augusta Courier. The su<rar cane, which we noticed sometime since, as left in our office for inspection, has dirni nished in size nearly one third.

Latest from Colombia. — By the brig Me dina, Capt Hendrickson arrived yesterday from C nthagena, we have received Bogo ta Papers to the 27th July. Wo had before received Carthagena papers to the 29th July, which contained Bogota dates to the 3d. The Gaceta de Colombia , of the latest date, contains a circular from the Secretary of Slate at B igota, addressed to the In t end ant at Candinamarca informing that whereas various merchants have been known to defraud the public revenue, by escaping the custom house duties, it is or dered that henceforth all goods that may be transported into the interim shall pay •lie duties at the place of destination. Advices on the 22d May had reached Bogota, from Bolivia. After considerable resistance the mutiny at Chuquisaca had been suppressed. The illustrious Gen j L'UZ', so highly distinguished for his. im ] portant services in the revolutionary war f lost his life in that bloody affray. During the entire of this contest the Bolivians, e vinced the utmost zeal for the preserva tion of their instructions and a moral de testation for anarchy, and its promoters. No less sincere is their regret for the misfortune which has happened to the Marshal o* Ayacucho, who, in an engage ment that took place on tho l6th April, was deprived of his right arm. The Peruvian General Gamarra at the head ot 5,000 men, had invaded the oli vi m tetritory with a view to reduce it to a colony of Peru, and was hourly expected t La P iz Tiie Bolivians hope to be able to resist he invaders, and to prevent the subjuga tion of then country until succours arrive ;nm Colombia. They are daily expect ing reinforcements from the Liberator, • nhout which, as their army is greatly in ferior to that of the efiemy, they must ne cessarily succumb. Gen. UrJininea, Pres- Jeiitof .he MinisteriU Council, has taken I omma (1 of the national forces and marched to give the Peruvians battle. The iuleriority of his troops compared with the mmber of his opponents, leaves little hope • f success to the Bolivian arms. The dis urbances at Chuquisaca were of a very serious nature; during the five days that they lasted, many persons lost their lives: ami as General Sucre, on account of Ins wound, is incapacitated from discharging uis presidential functions, Dun Jose Maria Perez de Urdininea, Minister at War, and General ot Division, has been transferred to the command of the Bolivian army, and entrusted with the executive duties. Pre* cautionary measures have been adopted bv the government, to pievent further moles tation from the faciionists and to guard a gainsi the designs of the enemies of Boli via, the assembly has been convened. The acting President of the Republic has issued a proclamation, calling upon all who love their country, to fly to arms, and oppose the invaders. Avery lengthy let ter from General Surce, addressed to Gen. Gamarra, enters fully into a detail of all th ‘ iate atrocious proceedings in Bolivia, stales the reasons which induced him to invest Gen. Urdininea with the presidency and concludes by observing—“On the 13iii une next I shall resume the chief magis tracy, merely to deliver my last message to the Congress: which done, nothing shall make me swerve from the determination 1 have formed to witlidraw from public af fairs, and retire to private life in the soli tudes of Quito. * The wound received by the victor of Ayacucho, seems from nis letter to be extremely painful, and even dangerous. Our file like wise contain a ong despatch from Gen. Gamarra, dated at In 1 camp of Copajira, 3d May, wherein he gives his reasons for entering the Bolivian republic in a warlike character. They’ are sophistical and calculated to blind the people. Extract of a letter from Capt. Thomas Anthony, dated Cast. Gibson, Ark. T. July 1, 1828. “Gen. Chilly M’lntosh and twenty se ven ot our Crer k Indians, have been on a Buffalo Hunt; and after an absence of twen ty days, returned with the meat ot 24 buf faloes, which they killed. They saw about. 600 buffaloes and an immense number of deer, whilst out, and would have killed more, but had no means of bringing the meat home, every horse having as much as they could carry. A second party will go out next month, when they anticipate much sport. All the Indians are delighted with this country, which is rich and well calcu lated foi our people, who can live well bv agriculture and hunting.

Sailsbury, N.C. Sept. 2 Counterfeiters. —A gang of counterfeit ers was broken up at Jamestown, Guilford j county, week before last; and most of those believed to be concerned, were bound over to court. There was found on them aj qu iiitity of counterfeit United States 10 dollar bills, made payable at the branch in i Mobile, to C. Houston, or order, but, un like the genuine bills, not endorsed on ‘the back by him. ji is believed some of these spurious bills are in circulation and the public would do well to be on their guard against them. The man whose house these rogues made their head quarters was also j apprehended, on suspiciou of conniving at their villainy. Two men were lately apprehended in this county, for passing counterfeit Vir ginia 5 dollar bills, aud brought to the jail in this place, to await their trial at Oc tober Superior Court. A man on whose evidence the Suite will rely to convict these persons, was also confined in jail, but is now discharged. Now York, Sept. 6. Fire. —About half past 10 o’clock last evening, a fire broke out in the porterhouse, at the corner of Front and Fletcher-street, occupied by R. Barton. That building and those adjacent were of such combusti ble materials that the flames made rapid progress before the engines arrived. The premises m the vicinity have been three times on fire before. The porter house was burnt down, as was also the house ad joining it in Fletcher-street The roof and part of the gable end of the next house in the same street were consumed. The house No. 155 Front-street, occupied by W. A- Baker, as a tinsmith’s shop was part ly destroyed. The roots of the house 153 Maiden-lane, occupied by A. Coffin, &of 155 1-2 were consumed. That of 155 vv s slightly injured. The exertions of the fire men were great and successful, in staying the progress of the conflagration, which but for their interposition must have been extensive and lamentable. The lampblack factory at Brooklyn was destroyed l>y fire yesterday afternoon. Com. Adver. A Buenos Ayrean Squadron. — A letter from our Newport correspondent dated the 3d inst st that a squadron consisting of i sloop of war, a brig and schooner, was cruising between Block Island aud Mori taug Point, the latter part of fast *eek.— On Friday, the schooner went into Block Island Bay, and reported herself the Bue nos Ayrean schooner unchal, capt.

JY. Y Morn Cour. The President. —Every citizen, says the Nati *nal Intelligencer, who has any know ledge at all of our public servants, is ac quainted with the remaikable laborious ha bits of the President. He is perhaps the earliest riser in Washington, and applies himself to the various duties of his high office, with an assiduity which is without example, perhaps in any public man, since the lime of President Washington, We recollect learning the fact, that when he was preparing his extremely elaborate re port on the intricate subject of weights and measures, which he was, as Si cretary of State, required by a resoluti nos Con gress to make, —a work which by its re search and comprehensiveness, extorted the praises of English writers—anxious to complete the report before the dose of the session, at which he wished to present it, he arose during nearly the whole winter, at three o’clock, and occupied himself for th t ee hours before day, almost every morn ing, in completing the task assigned to him He accomplished it and the re port comprising between two and three hundred octavo pages, was sent in before Congress adjourned. We mention his in cident merely to illustrate the habits of the President, and show how necessary some relaxation must be to a man of sixv, when tue heats of our long southorn sum mers add their enfeebling effect to that ot constant labor. Without such relaxation, and the renovation of a few weeks anuu. ally spent in the bracing sea air of his native climate, bis health would suffer, if his life were not endangered by it. He therefore almost every summer, makes a visit to Massachusetts of some weeks, which he spends quietly among his kindred and friends, and returns to the jeat of Go vernment, prepared for the labors of the winter. This lias betn so reasonable, in deed necessary an indulgence, for which he has the example of utl predecessors, that it is rarely that it has been the subject of remark or censure, except by tho vulgar and ignorant. N. E. Society's Sales. — Tiie annual sale of Dry Goods, under the direction of the N. England Society, took place on Fri day. The sale was very fully attend ed, and among the company were mauv merchants from a distance. The cotton goods sold at a rather lower price general ly that (he sauie description brought last yeaijbutthe woollens, the quantity of which *as not great, were disposed of at fair rates.

The execution of Henry Evans for the murder of Joshua Rogers and Henry Di— mon, which took place on the 22<i inst. was attended, as is estimated, bv 15 or 20,000 persons, some of whom it is said, came a distance ot 50 or 60 mil l is. The circumstance of this being the first execu tion ever witnessed in this county, may ac count iri some measure for the morbid cu riosity so extensively manifested, to wit ness the exit of one, whose character pre sented little to excite interest or sympathy. At 9 o clock a guard of infantry and c - I v.dry was stationed round the gallows, where the crowd had already began to col lect ; and at 12, the culprit wtrs escorted thither from the jail. His step was firm, though he had evidently become weakened since his confinement. Immediately after the rope was adjusted, he began to reel and would have fallen but for the * hile waiting until his time should elapse, he urged the sheriff to hasten the execution. He snuggled for near ten minutes after the J drop fob. The body was removed to ; Brownville, where a funeral was held, ac -1 cording to his request the next day. We have under our eye a letter from j Gen, Lafayette, dated 13tli July lasi from which it appears that the illustrious j individual was then in good healih andac -11 live as a legislator.

Mrs Hemy, of Rowdon, heard two cow. hell owing very loudl in a park adjoining her house; she instantly went out ana pei ceived that the cows was pursued by a fe rocious bear. The bear soon singled out one of the cows as the object of an atta> k; the other finding herself freed from imme diate put suit, fell into the’ rear and in her turn gave ch to the pursuer of her com panion, and when very near the enemy made a plunge at him with her head. This attempt proved fatal to herself; the beat taking advantage of her fall, turned and sprung upon her back, where having fixed himself he began to legale himself with the choicest flesh he could find; Mrs. H* nry on seeing tins,seized a stick, and with a cour age that is seldom met with, ran up to the ’ bear and punum lied him from his s at; he j leaped horn his seat and pursued the lady, who # contrivt and to evade him; upon this he calmly wiped his mouth on a log. f wood, and returned to the still prostrate cow, upon whose carcass he had scarcely re com menced his attar ks when lie was again as sailed by Mrs Henry. She beat him off a second time; and a second time she was pursued. She cried for assistance, and’ *>ix men came to her aid with guns, but be- ! fore they could resolve among themselves who should have the honor of shooting the bear, he relieved them from the immediate necessity of depriving him of his life by ! scampering off. The cow was dead be- 1 fore he left her. He went however, in j search of a meal which he might enjoy un molested lor as Mr. Henry was return ing home in the evening, his attention was attracted to a field where a heifer was low ing most piteously; on entering the field j be perceived the heifer lying on the ground, while the bear was feasting on her with apparent satisfaction. Mr. Henry went in quest of a gun,which,having procured,he shot the bear through the groin, but the wound was not dead! j* for the bear ran off into the woods leaving the heifer lifeless. Thinking that the “enemy** might return, the body of the heifer was left lying in the field; he made his appearance on Saturday 19ili _and was so intent on the inviting flesh that the men who watched him canif upon him before lie was awaie, and ran a bayonet, into his throat; lie twisted the bay onet as it it had been a rush, but not be fore it had given him bisdsquh thrust.
