THURSDAY MOUSING, OCT. 30, I*2B. The present depressed, stato of the agricultural interest throughout Georgia must naturally have excited attention; and awakened the fears ofevery one interested in the welfare of his country. Cot* ton. the great staple of the Southern States, has so” far sunk in value, as to be hardly worth the cultivation. It is the opinion of many planters with whom we have conversed, that he who de pends entirely upon the growing of cotton, not only loses the interest of iiis money, but annually sinks a part of his capital. ,In this state of the business, what are the people of Georgia to do . Our advice is, establish manufactories. By so doiyg, they would build up a constant and steady market at home for their corn, and those heavy productions of the plantation which will not bear exportation. At present, our planters cannot withdraw their industry and capital from the cul tivation of cotton, even though it be attended with a loss because they cannot invest it in any thing ei S e w ith a better prospect of success. But it there were a steady market for corn they would not he obliged to plant cotton, if the price of that article were not such as to give hopes of a reason able reward for the capital and labor expended. That it would be the tendency of manufactur ing establishments to build up such a market at home for all kinds of provisions, we may safely refer to the experience of other countries to prove the fact. In the Ncw-England states , it is sup posed that provisions are generally cheaper •an they are in Georgia. Yet, in the neighborhood of their manufacturing establishments, and for twen tv miles round, we have been assured, that corn tills for double what it does in the villages of Georgia In fact, as there is no steady and regu lar demand for corn in Georgia, (planters in ge neral ain.ing to make enough for their own sup port,) any little oxooss in the usual supply, owing to unusual good crops or any xccidental cause, lowers the value of the article one or two hundred per cent. The same cause, the want of a constant demand, deters any one-from aiming at much more than his own supply. A bad season, therefore, often raises the article one die two hundred per cent. Now, a regular demand would always create a corresponding regular supply ; and the abundance of the article in market, would prevent an exhor hpant rise ; and the regular demand would pre vent an undue depreciation. &Jrofeturing establishments scattered through out the Stale, would create this constant arid re gular demand for all kinds of breadstuff and proxi sions; and over and above the advantage of re tailing the money realized in the sale of Cotton in the country, they would enable the planter to ob tain much better prices for all other productions ofliis plantation. Eferts of the Tariff.—' The supplies of sugar from Ncw-Orleans, says We NY. Daily Adverti ser, have already increased to such an amount, that they are rapidly taking the place of foreign sugar, and it is supposed by many intelligent per sons. that in a very few years tiie supplies from NVv-O'rleans and elsewhere, will be sufficient for the consumption, and that no foreign sugar will bo required. Upwards of tfcreeHfimdned oarrele of sugar, says the same paper, have been received by the canal, which has been sold at five cents a pound. Last season, we understand, a parcel of about seventy barrels was received. It is suppo sed the manufacture of this article will increase, and that it will coon be one of considerable im portance. United States’ Branch Bank Counterfeit Bidl of SIOO, payable at New-Orleans. —A plausib.e look incr rimn, genteel in his appearance, about •> tect 2 inches high, delicate complexion, leans foi ward a little and speaks softly, has black eyes, ciad in a black cloak, white hat with a weed, and calling himself Charles Williams, has been calling at the stores in this place, and in a very indifferent, easy way, buying a few dollars worth of goods which he would call again and pay for, having but i*!00 bills, thus leading the eager vender to catch the chance of giving him some seven-eights of ster ling for his whole of trash. He is a dangerous fellow, for you would not suspect him. He has been traced from New-York here, and is now pro bably on an eastern excursion.

Olhce of Discount (instead of is r) Deposit. Re markably well executed. — Host. Gaz. Darien , Oct 21.—Our town begins to wear the aspect of business. Several of our most respec table merchants uave already arrived from the North, bringing with them large supplies of goods; and the noise and confusion attendant upon the landing of passengers and merchandize, reminds us of Stays that are past.’ The river above, is extremely low; so much so, that boats and rafts arc unable to descend; in consequence of which the steam mills in the neighborhood, as well, no doubt, as the merchants in the up coun try, are put to considerable inconvenience.— Gaz. The weather, says the Philadelphia Aurora of the 18th, has been exceedingly cold in this city for some days past, and the night before last ice a quarter of an inch in thickness was formed. The transition from summer to winter was also un commonly sudden, and has had the effect of giving influenza, colds, Ac. to a large part of the popula tion. The yellow fever still prevailed at N. Orleans the early part of the present, month. Amongst the deaths mentioned by this B*sease, we discover several from the Western States. It is stated that there are four hundred Gene rals, highly paid, on the present military estab lishment of France. The citizens of Montgomery county, (Ala.) re- ’ cetttly gave a public dinner to Col. Brearly as a m\rk of their respoct and gratitude for his zealous exertions to remove the Creek Indians from that state.* 1 Portland a City. —A committee has been ap-1 pointed, by the town of Portland, to considerJ whether it is expedient to adopt a city form ol government for that place. An iron shoe to enable firemen to keep their footing upon the roots of houses, has been in vented by Mr. Seth Walker, a mechanic employ ed at the furnace on Eddy’.3 Point, Providence. The Pitt*burg Gazette of tbe 14th, ways* that on Sunday la At a fire broke out in one of the tene ments adjoining the paper mill of the Messrs. Holdships. Fi'feen dwelling houses and some buildings bcKmging to the paper mill were de stroyed—damage about S7OOO, S3OOO of which were insured. The works will not be stopped. Tn-e. —The Philadelphia Aurora of the 18th says, a serious firo broke out yesterday morning, between one and two o’clock, in Srnall-street, near Sixth-street, and back of South, which de stroyed about JO dwelling houses, and two or three stables. It is said to be the work of an in cendiary, and to have first burst forth from a sta ble, out. of which the horses were fortunately taken ere the fire attained much extent. The confined situation of the street, together with the combustible materials of the buildings, being mostly old frames, will readily account for the damage, notwithstanding the usual alacrity of our lire-inen. Camden, (S. C.) Oct. IS.—Ctiltirntion of Sugar Cave in South Carolina. —An experiment in the culture of this valuable production, has been made this year by Thomas Lang, Esq. of this town and may be considered a successful one un der the circumstances. It was planted very late (about the Ist of April,) and has had no,other care bestowed upon it than merely to keep the ground clear of.weeds ; indeed, Mr. Lang is en tirely unacquainted with the mode of cultivating it, and yet, the growth has been luxuriant and has reached at least eight feet in the average. We have lately visited this miniature Fugar planta- f tion of a few square rods, and were astonsihed at! the perfection .to which it had arrived. The stalks have ah eady. arrived to maturity and are cut. They are as full of the sacharinc matter as ! the West India Cane, and we have no doubt would produce sugar of as good a quality. Mr. Lang intends to plant a larger quantity next year. It. is computed in the London Musical Reviews, that Mademoiselle Sontag gained, in London, by singing, between the sth of April, 1828, and tho 24th July, more money than the amount of all the previous earnings of her life. Her receipts from the King's Theatre alone, were upwards of twenty thousand dollars. The Methodists. —By an article in tiie London World of the Ist of last month, it would appear that that numerous and respectable sect have had their troubles and dissentions in England as well I as in this country. A secession, it is stated, has taken place from the main body, and anew so ciety formed at Leeds, the leade;. of which pro test finally and generally against submitting any longer to the unlimited authority ofthe preachers as being contraiy to the principles of Christianity, * the practice of the Primitive Church, and the f priveleges of English subjects, and from the ex- . perienee they have had that such power has been 1 perpetually on the increase, is still increasing, and j is unworthily exercised : and because tiiere has | been no instance in the history of the Christian | church in which spiritual tyranny has not been fa- j tal to the interests of religion, the character of its ministers, and the undoubted rights and privi leges ofthe people. Melancholy. —A boy about 15 years of age, was < run over in North Market-strbet, Albany, by one • of the northern stages, and he died in about ten minutes. The driver saw the boy knocked down by the horses, but did not stop. Casualty. —A Coroner's Inquest was held on Saturday, last in this county, on tiie body of ai white man (name unknown) who was found dead on the road leading from Chapel Hill to Northing- 1 ton's Ferry on the Cape Fear. From the evidence * before the jury, and situation in which his remains were found, there is no doubt but the deceased came to his itaath from his clothes taking tire, ‘ which he was unable to extinguish. He stated at • the house where he obtained fire the preceding ; evening, that -he resided near the Havvfields in Orange. He was middle aged, with a rod com plexion. — Raleigh Register.

Respectfully, JOSEPH ANDERSON, Comptroller James H. M’Culloch, Esq from our correspondent. Office of the Courier, Charleston, Oct. 26—c p. m. $ FROM LIVERPOOL. By the Br. brig Cezir, arrived this eve ning, we have our files of London papers and Shipping Lisis to the evening of the Hth September, and the Liverpool Adver tiser olSunday, 13th. Tire Cotton market continue flat at the prices of the preceeding week. The ini ports amounted to 9362 bags sales of Boweds &c. ranging from 53-4 to 7d. No political news ol importance. The Russians were stilt before Cllumln, with out having attempted to carry it by storm. The Duke of Clarence it appears, has finally retired from the Admiralty, and the veteran Lord Melville, formerly at the head of that Department, has resumed its du ties. The Russian AdmiraPs ship, which had been so long missing arrived safely at Gibialtar on the 20th August. Great numbers ol Portuguese Exiles have reached England, (nearly a thousand at Plymouth) with the intention of pro ceeding to Rio de Janeiro. A letter from Lisbon, dated 22d August, states, that an express had arrived the preceding evening from Madrid, directing M. de Campazono, Envoy extraordinary, and M. Rev. Bermudez, ex Charge d’Af faires of Spain in Portugal, to quit Lisbon in 14 hours—they left Lisbon the same evening with ail speed for Madrid This proceeding appears to have alarmed the adherents of Don Miguel. London, Sept. 11. Evening . —The Admiralty arrange ments, about which so many contradictory reports have been circulated, have at length been settled and Lord Melville succeeds ins Royal Highness, the Duke of Clarence. We understand that the Board will con sist, as formerly, of the First Lord of the Admiralty,and four othw Lords. Lord Ellenborough will succeed Lord Melville as President of the Board of Con troul. Despatches were received this morning from our Ambassador at Paris; from Lis bon, dated the 30ih ult ; and from Rio, dated the 12th Jniy. Sir John Doyle and Mr. Young had not been release;;; Cour di Supplicacao not having pronounced upon their case, which had been referred to it by the Conservato rial Court, which had acquitted them. The corvette and brigs which had been sent to Madeira and the Azores, returned to Lisbon on the 30ih ult. With respect to the blockade of Fun chal, which was notified at Lisbon, and .ho blockade assumed by Hie Portuguese naval officer, there is this difference. The cap tain of the Medina frigate upon the jfirival of the Portuguese force off Funchal en quiied whether the blockade was a block ade of Funchal only or of all the Ports.— The Portuguese Commander replied, that it was to be “of all the ports,” upon which the Captain of the Medina declared that it was ineffective; the force being wholly inadequate to such a blockade. The Portuguese ships then sailed away. Upou this subject of blockade it is to be remarked that the more notification has nothing to tla with any recognition of Don Miguel It is merely a warning to British ‘merchants, which Government*** them iu a case in which, without it, they might be exposed to danger It is say ing to them; “Such a measure has been adopted by a person or persons exercising the functions <f Government, and wo acquaint you with it, that you may not expose your, selves to dangers and losses by acting in opposition to it.” Two officers, who had been sent to the Russian Army, have lately returned to Vi enna, and their account of the stale of af fairs at Chotimla has been published in one of the Paris papers of Tuesday. But it does not contain any such recent news as we have been in posse ssion of for some days. The details, however, though per haps overcharged, are interesting; and Would seem to leave no hope of any long or successful resistance on the part of tho Turks. For tiiough Choumli cannot be attacked except uuder great disadvantage, and with immense loss, yet those office!s proceed upon the supposition that it is the intention of the Russians to mask Choumla whilst the rest of their army proceeds by Karnabat and Adi innople. But we doubt thpt part of the statement which assorts that the communication between Choumla and the capital lias been entirely cut off. If General Rudiger lias been able to maintain j himself at Este- c tamboul, the communica- i tion by that road has been cut off, but there are roads to the cast of Este-Stamboul, the I which remain open, at least wo have not had any accounts of the Russians having occupied them in any force. The direct communication with the Danube has been cut off, because the Russians are in posses sion of the road leading from Choumla to Sih*H*i, and of the road from Rasgrad to Rudshuk and to Tartukai. The Russian Army is supplied with eve ry necessary in the most regular manner, and every preparation has been made which the mightinesss of the contest demands Five more vessels with Portuguese re fugees are arrived at Portsmouth and Fal mouth They are all to goto Plymouth, where a general depot is established The conduct of those already arrived there, considering the state of their feelings and their want of pecuniary means, is tie serving of the highest praise.

Fever Fiver Mines. —W e are under o bligations to a friend, for the subjoined statement of the amount of lead smelted at these mines, in the months of June, July, August and September. It is taken from the returns made to the office, of the United States Agent, and is undoubtedly correct. In the month of June upwards of 1,100,000 lbs. July, 1,750,000 August, 1,700,000 Sept. 1,500,000 The celebrity which these mines have! acquired; induces us to attempt to correct, although we fear it is too late, the etymolo gy ofthe name given to them. In common with many other rivers and towns in this country, the names of which were derived from some local circumstances, this river! was called by the early voyageurs, “ Ri vierre au Feve,” or Bean River, a species of plant found abounding in that region.— There is certainly no similarity between tiie name thus given, and the one which has obtained almost universally. It is, besides more appropriate, as bearing the name of a plant indigenous to the soil, mid ing no good ground for the the corrupted name, Fever River J!. 1 ’ ’ of which, originating there, are ; less frequent occurrence than in i r ; () '1 f tlirr parts of the country.

The late elections have served to remove doubts in regard to a number of the votes, whichhaj been regarded as extremely uncertain. Tiie election in Maine in September, dissipated the doubts which hung over some of the districts in that state, and made it almost certain that all the votes of New England will be given for Mr. Adams. The dec* tions in tire west made i; probable fiutia addition to tho votes of Ohio, he willhav* those of Kentucky, Indiana and Louisiana, The votes of New Jersey have been uniformly claimed for Mr. Adams.- The elections of last week have mailt it certain that he will have the votes of Delaware, and highly probable that he will have nino at least, of the ele ven votes in Maryland. In addition to these votes, it is only necessary, for secur ing his election, that he should have a ma* jority of the electors chosen by the people in New York Thirty four electors are chosen in districts in New York, and two more hv these thirty four. Twenty four of these have been confidently claimed by the friends of the Administration intk( state; but the Jackson party, with perhaps equal confidence, claim the majority do their side. On this question,acrordingto present prospects, the whole election ap pears to rest. The party which shall vb* tain a majority of tho electors chosen by districts in New York, or 18 electors, 1 choose two niore r making 20. If these should bo on the side of the Administra tion as w'o trust they will be, the probable result may be estimated as follows: W hole number of electoral voles, 251 Necessary for a choice, 131 Os which Mr. Adams will probably ’ have Maine, 9, New Hampshire 8, Vermont 7, Massachusetts 15, Coq necticui 8 and Rhode Island 4, 51 New Jersey 8, Delaware 3, aud Mary* land 9, ‘ 20 Ohio 16, Kentucky 14, Indiana 5, Lou. isiana 5, 50 New York, 20 Total, M If those votes are secure for Mr. Adams, it is ofless importance bow the other ten states vote. It is possible some of them may also vote for him. But these arei.tf votes which are principally relied on fat the re-election of Mr Adams. The choice of electors will begin t* Friday the 31st of this month, or. which day the state of Pennsylvania will choose their electors. On the Monday following, Nov. 3, eleven states will hold their elec tors for the choice of electors, viz: Maim New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Coddcc* ticuf.
