AUGUSTA.
WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 15.
Ship Rosalind. —The Charleston Courier ol
yesterday says: —By the arrival of the packet
boat Neptune, from the wreck of the ship Rosa
lind, we learn that the crews of the smacks C.
Mallory and Daniel Havens, previously reported
as having been seen in the breakers, near Stono,
on Sunday morning last, have all been saved,
with the exception of one man, Mr. C. Michel,
a native of Naples, and owner of the C. Mallo
ry. Fortunately,shortly after the accident, both
smacks swung together, which enabled the crew
of the C. Mallory, who were on her bottom at
the time, to reach the deck of the Daniel Ha
vens, where they remained until about 1.1 o’-
clock on Sunday morning last, when they were
taken off by the boats of the other smacks in the
vicinity, in an exhausted state. C. Michel died
about an half hour before the boats came to
their relief. His body was fell on board of the
smack, the boats being scarcely large enough to
save the living. The two smacks have since
drove ashore on the beach, and will not lie got
otf. -They were driven into the breakers on
Saturday night last, in endeavoring to reach
Stono Inlet. The ship Rosalind remains pretty
much in the same situation as when Capi. Bray
left.
Since writing the above, the smack Intrepid
has arrived, with the crew ol shipJßosalind, and
the crew saved from smack C. Mallory. Seve
ral of the ship’s crew had their clothing on
board of the wrecked smacks, all ot which has
lieen lost.
The Black Tongue.
This frightful epidemic, which has made its
appearance in New Madrid County, Ind., is
thus described by a correspondent ot the St.
Louis Republican:—“The disease here is not
always characterized with a swelling and black
ness of the tongue, (which, when it does, has
proven fatal in five of six cases,) but the visita
tion or inflammation sometimes seats itself in
the joints, the ancle, knee, or hip, and frequent
ly in one side of the head and in one eye, w hich
swells, turns red, and shortly before death, like
the tongue, turns black. In some instances, the
malady seats itself in some of the vital organs,
lungs, liver, &c. This county is well supplied
with medical gentlemen of science and talents,
but thus far, the disease truly appears to baffle
all skill, or perhaps is unmanageable. The
disease frequently runs its course in a few hours,
the patient is taken off, or is pronounced by his
physician past danger.
I would add, that nothing can surpass the
gloom and affliction here presented: to ride
through the neighborhood, and observe the la
mentations of the living, a group of fatherless
and motherless children, is enough to melt the
most obdurate heart.’ 1
From the Baltimore Patriot.
The Senate.
REJECTIONS AND NOMINATIONS.
There were some circumstances connected
with the action of the Senate on the last night
of the session, to which we conceive it highly'
important that public attention should be distinct
ly drawn.
The Whigs of the Union have reason to be
proud of their noble Senators who resisted the
presumption of the Chief Magistrate in pressing
upon them nominees once and again rejected :
Throughout the whole of those trying proceed
ings they acted as became men placed there to
perform high and responsible duties. But in
proportion to the respect and admiration felt to
wards them, will be the cemrtrreof all independ
ent minds upon those who pursue the opposite
course. There was a time when we would have
thought that John C. Calhoun would have lost
his right arm rather than yielded his vote to this
petulant demand of the President. And George
McDuffie too! Who expected to see him ready
to surrender the dignity, and the deliberate de
cision of the Senate to tire irritable dictation of
such a man as John Tyler? With his eminent
abilities—in some respects equal to those of his
colleague, in others superior—has he yet so lit
tle of what may' be called “stand alone-ism" that
he must needs attach himself to Mr. Calhoun
even in this act of subservience.
Not less worthy of praise was the conduct of
the Whig Senators, in regard to the China mis
sion It Juo to tho able and accomplished
EveretrTo‘staTeTTi‘aft?ie'vbtes.'tgnrnsrcontirmir.g
the no. nation for China were not aimed at
him; l»u intended solely to reprobate the ar
rangement by which he was to be transferred,
probably against his will, and certainly without
consulting his in order to make
room at the Court of St. James for another; and
that other to be appointed during the recess in the
face of the well understood lactthat, if nomina
ted to the Senate, he could not be confirmed.
There were other circumstances also, most rep
rehensible: —well calculated to excite suspicion
that from the first a rankyoA was meditated—
and that it was to be effected by nothing less
than a fraud upon the constitutional authority of
the Senate.
The officer to be sent to China was designa
ted "Agent," not "Minister;" although a sum
was appropriated for the service twice as large
as ever was given to the highest diplomatic
mission abroad! Why was this? Simply to
avoid the Senatorial ordeal. The Constitution
requires the sanction ot the Senate to the nomi
nation of a “Minister;” but an “Agent” may be
appointed by the President alone. Unluckily
for the consummation of this pitiful trick, (we
can call it no less,) the Senate perceived the
purpose evidently designed and insisted that the
appointment of the agent should first receive
their advice and consent; and also that his salary
should be limited to the ordinary compensation
for Ministers of the highest grade.
it is understood Mr. Everett barely escaped
rejection. What are we to think of the friend,
who for the advancement of his own ulterior
views,subjected the absent Minister to such a
risk, at the same time that he took care not to
encounter the same hazard himself! Suppose
Mr. Everett had been rejected (noton account of
any opposition to him, but to defeat a scheme lor
evading the proper constitutional investigation
and power of the Senate) —would not the coun
try have stigmatized the conduct of any friend
who hadplacedhiminsuch a position,as unkind
in the highest degree—nay, cruelly unjust, if not
treacherous?
It is given out that the Secretary ol State is
preparing to leave that Department, and will be
shortly appointed Minister to England. Ol his
eminent qualifications for the conduct ot negoti
ations with foreign powers the mass of his coun
try are fully assured; and however desirous
those who have been among his warmest admir
ers, and his most ardent and disinterested sup
porters, may be to see him, for his own honor
and best interests, separated entirely from the
present feeble, faithless,and wavering Chief Mag
istrate, yet they might (in the belief that when
removed from his present associates he would
become truly and emphatically the representa
tive ofhis country,) acquiesce in his appointment
if it were modern conformity to the spirit oft he Con
stitution. But it may well be questioned wheth
er that spirit will not be violated by the appoint
ment of a gentleman, after the Senate had ad
journed, whose nomination that body would have
rejected. Certainly if such should become a
common practice, every body must see that it
would be a vital stab at the power of the Senate.
No one has contended more strenuously than Mr.
Webster, that this power is not a mere formality.
It will be seen whether he will pay it any sub
stantial regard; or, on the other hand, treat it as
a mere formality; and thus (to use his own lan
guage on another occasion) saction an opinion
not favorable to the Government, in the aggregate
not favorable to the Constitution; noi favorable
to the Senate; but favorable to the Executive a
lone! SPECTATOR.
A Singular Vote.—The Legislature of Mis
souri, both houses, concurred in pronouncing
Judge Leland “deficient in legal knowledge.”
In the Senate, the vote was 28 to 4, in the House
62 to 29. Subsequently, the Senate refused, by
a vote ot 16 to 16, to move an address to the
Governor tor his removal. By their vote, the
members keep in a Judge they declare to be in
competent.
Mr. Van Buren's Prospects in Albany.
The Evening Journal says, the New York
Legislature hesitates about nominating Mr. Van
Buren, who is on hand, urging his suit. Hesi
tation is death to him. It must be done. The
Journal adds: “Our ‘favorite sun’ is not sure of
a legislative nomination. There is a natural
unwillingness to trust a Pilot, who has once run
a ship ashore high and dry.”
A Tvmult. —The Frankfort correspondent ot
the Lexington Intelligencer, states that there
was a “ relic! ” row in Trimble county, on the
last County Court day. The sheriff, owing to
the excitement, refused on that day to quality.
That night the clerk’s office was burnt down.
Gov. Letcher has nominated another sheriff to
the Senate.

him and gave him a severe beating.
Syria and Palestine.—When the British
licet was withdrawn liom the coast of Syria, in
itjß), * corps of engineers, all picked men, was
left behind, in order to make a military survey
of the country' throughout its whole extent. —
Three officers, Majors Robe, Scott, and Wil
braham, were constantly occupied in making
surveys in all quarters ; and in the southern
part, Lieut. Symonds carried a series of trian
gles over the greater portion of Judea and the
country around the plain of Esdraelon, includ
ing lines of altitudes from the Mediterranean to
the Dead Sea and Lake of Tiberias. Some of
these gentlemen are members of the Royal Ge
ographical Society of London; and when the
English government shall have made the use it
choose of the results of their labors, it is under
stood that they' will be given to the world. — Bib

••The Strange Light.”
Hydrographical Office, March 10, 1843.
On Monday morning, the Cth, our attention
was called to a paragraph in the newspapers
stating that a Ce/aet was visible near the sun at
mid-day with the naked eye. The sky was
clear; but, not being able to discover any thing
with the unassisted eye, recourse was had to a
telescope without any belter success. About
sunset in the evening the examination was re
newed with great diligence but to no purpose.
As the stars began to peep out, observers were
multiplied; Capella, Rigil, Beta(B) in the Bull,
Delta Jn Orion, and Alpha (A) in the 1 [are,
came to the meridian and their transits were
marked by one observer, while another, with
close attention, watched through the fading light
of the western horizon for the Comet and its
tail. The last faint streak of day gilded the
west, beautiful and delicate fleeces of sander
cloud curtained the bed of the sun, tjjc upper
sky was studded with stars, and hopes bf seeing
the Comet that evening had vanished.
Soon after we had retired, the officer ot the
watch announced the appearance of the Comet
in the west. The phenomenon was sublime and
beautiful. The needle was greatly agitated,
and a strongly' marked pencil ot light was
streaming up from the path of the sun in an ob
lique direction to the southward and eastward ;
its edges were parallel. It was about 1 deg. 30
min. broad, and 30 deg. long. Stars could be
seen twinkling through it, and no doubt wasj at
first entertained, but that this was the tail ot the
Comet. The officer of the watch was directed
to search the eastern sky with the. telescope in
the morning, from early' dawn and before till
sunrise. Nothing strange or uncommon was
noted by' him.
Tuesday was a beautiful day; the air was still
and the sky clear. With the aid of the teles
copes, a regular and systematic examination of
the heavens was commenced. Every' point of
space within 15 deg. of the sun, in all directions,
was passed and repassed over and over again,
through the field ol the telescopes, and minutely
examined, in the hope of discovering the Comet
itself. The entire day was occupied in thus ex
ploring that portion of the heavens. In the af
ternoon a black spot, in shape not unlike a lib
erty cap, was discovered fn the sun. But the
day was fast declining, and with the fading light
of evening the interest was too intense to turn
away from the telescope for other andniore exact
observations upon this spot.
The sun set clear, gilding, as it sunk below
the hills, a narrow streak of wane cloud, seen
through the tree-tops beyond the Potomac.
The “tail’’ had appeared of great length for
the first time the evening before; therefore we
expected to find its length this evening greatly
increased. It was a moment of intense interest
when the first stars began to appear. The last
rays of the sun still lingeredonthe horizon; and
at this moment just about the region of the up
per crepusculum, a well-defined pencil of hairy
light, was seen pointing towards the sun. At
sh. 41m. siderial time, the first measurement of
length ot the “tail” was taken, it measured 41
deg. to the horizon. At 6h. 19m. it had become
most distinct. It was then 1 deg. 45m. broad
and 55 deg. long, not including the part be
low the horizon, which supposing its termin
us to be near the sun, could not, owing to the
oblique angle which it made with the horizon,
be less than 10 or 15 degrees more. It now
commenced gradually to fade away, and in a
short time had entirely disappeared. The morn
ing observations were diligently renewed, but
nothing could be seen worthy ot note.
Wednesday', fly ing masses of “Cirrus strat
us” occasionally obscured the sun; but prepara
tions were made lor determining tbe right ascen
sion and declination ot the “spot” on the disc of
the sun; if, perchance, that spot should prove
to be the nucleus of the comet. At noon, the
■ clotTrts broke away from rhe sun, and though
the glass was ot feeble power, the well-defined
dark spot was distincMfeseen through it. The
instrument itself was ejjfciated to seconds with
micrometer readings liile the sun was in
transit, observations right ascen
sion and declination oWR “spot” -were made
with the hope of reporting them the next day,
and thence deducing its motions during the in
terval. A thickly clouded sky all of Thursday
and so far of Friday—lo A. M.—with every
prospect of continuance, has not permitted this
hope to be realized.
Most olthe afternoon of Wednesday the sun
was obscured, or hut dimly seen through mass
es of intervening clouds. It, however, set in a
clear and narrow streak of reddish sky, which
was soon covered up by abankot clouds lOdeg.
high Above this mass and upwards the sky
was for the most part clear; and the evening was
not favorable tor the appearance ol a “zodiacal
light,” the clear sky was watched with vigor but
confident expectation of again seeing the beauti
ful phenomenon, which had excited our admira
tion and wonder for the two evenings previous.
Accordingly at 5 h. 14m, siderial time and much
to the delight of all present, this beautiful streak
of light was dimly seen. In twenty minutes af
terwards it was most distinct, spanning thesouth
western sky with a faint nebulous arch, that
reached away beyond Sirus to the east, and rest
on Eysilon in the Great Dog. It measured 85
deg, in length above the horrizon, far below
which it seemed to extend. At 6h. ait in., just
thirty minutes from its first appearance, this mag
nificent spectacle was lost in the gatheringclouds.
The next morning, observations in the east
were again renewed as before, but without dis
covering any traces of nucleus, tail, or zodiacal
light.
The' sky lias remained completely evercast up
to the hour of writing, and no opportunity has
occurred for repealing the observations, by
which the motions (it any) ol the spot over the
sun’s disc might be approximated.
Snch, up to the present time, is the history,
ami such has been the appearance of this phen
omenon, as observed here. The return of clear
weather, and the accounts ol'othet observersale
anxiously looked tor. So far, my own obser
vations are not sufficient to enable me to hazard
more than a mere conjecture, much less would
they justify any positive assertion, as to whether
this be the tail of a comet or not. If it be a
comet, the probabilities are that it is receding
from the sun, and will soon again be lost to us.

Correspondence of the Picayune.
Nassau, (N. P.,) Feb. 18,1843.
AJ.ss/s. Editors: —By this, the first opportuni
ty, 1 hasten to inform you of another marine
accident which occurred within the last tew
days.
The ship “Algonquin,” Christianson, mas
ter, from Mobile, bound to Liverpool, with a
cargo of 1,350 bales of cotton, was stranded on
Beak’s Key, Bahama Banks, on the morning ol
the Ist inst., at about 2 o’clock. I cannot in
form you yet what portion ofthe cargo is saved
—there have been, thus far, about 800 or 900
bales of cotton brought in by the w reckers, and
some part of the ship’s materials. If, howev
er. tiie remainder was not saved previous to
the 15th, 1 doubt much if it will be saved at all,
for we have had. a strong north-wester blowing
since that time—in fact almost a gale.

A Good Shot— At a Distance.— A boasting
character out West recently rejoiced in the rep
utation of being a good shot, but on being chal
lenged he ran away, and it was found that he
was only a good shot at a distance. This re
minds us of an old story of much more point
and humour. A well-known little Irish law
yer, famous for impassioned eloquence and sar
castic power, got challenged once by an irrita
ble witness, who took offence at some sharp
cross-questioning in court. The orator knew
precisely as much about fighting as a fancy box
er knows about Milton s “Paradise Lost.” His
friends told him. however, that there was no
way to avoid the scrape, and it was certainly
expected from him either to fight or apologise.
This settled the point; for the proud little Hiber
nian, though he would rather eat than fight,
still infinitely preferred being shot to making an
apology. So the two duellists, with their se
conds, &c., were soon upon the battle ground.
The challenger «as notorious as a great pistol
shot, and had fought some halt-dozen duels be
fore, in one of which he was so badly wounded
as to be left a cripple lor life.
When other preliminaries arranged, he
requested through his second one favor from
his adversary, which was—permission lo stand
against a mile-stone that was on the chosen
ground. He sought no advantage, but wished
to lean upon the stone, being too latne to stand
erect without support. His request was at
once granted, and just as the word was about
to be given, the little lawyer issued his mandate
to stay proceedings, as he also hail a request to
make.
In the gravest manner in the world he solici
ted permission to lean against /«•? ne.ct mile
stone! and the joke was so good that the challen
ger took his revenge out in a hearty roar ot
laughter, withdrawing his deadly defiance, and
declaring he could never shoot a man ot such
excellent humour. The opponents shook hands
and were ever after close friends, while the bar
rister rejoiced in the quizzical renown of being
a good shot— at a distance!

Correspondence of the Tropic.
Cotton Culture in India.
NUMBER six.
71) the Editors of the Tropic:
Having given, briefly and geneially, an ac-‘
count of the origin, progress and results of the
Cotton Experiment in India, and stated the lead
ing causes that led to its signal failure, I will
now proceed, in the same brief manner, to a
consideration of some few of the features of
the Anglo-Indian Government, that bear direct
ly on the present subject, and which, in the ab
sence of the causes already mentioned, would
be sufficient to prostrate the very ends the Gov
ernment had in view. No country, under tbe
influence of an excessively' tyrannical govern
ment, has ever been remarkable for the flour
ishing condition of its agricultural interests.—
The independence inseparable from the life a
farmer leads, engenders and nourishes a spirit
at all times hostile to oppression; and when it
has not, in unrestrained freedom, a full exercise
of all its energies, it recoils within a circumscri
bed sphere, and wars by passive resistance,
which too often brings blight upon the country,
and ruin upon the hated taskmasters. The ef
fects of compulsory measures, when even indi
rectly applied to men even nominally free, for
the purpose of forcing labor, are very different
from the effects of similar measures applied to
men in absolute bondage. Men who are not
absolutely harnessed in slavery, feel keenly the
pangs of insulted nature, and swell with indig
nant pride at the “proud man’s contumely.”—
Give to man the responsibilities of freedom, and
his actions, be the sphere ever so small, will
strictly comport with his condition.
The view I will take of this subject in the
present paper, will not be based upon the effect
the cause that will be enumerated have had on
the present experiment, but on facts that have
come under my observation, and which appear
to me no less inimical, not only to the introduc
tion ot an improved sy stem of agriculture, but
to the introduction of improvements of every
kind, than the causes already mentioned. The
cotton experiment did not go far enough to feel
the withyring influence of the government. So
tar as it did go, it received a liberal and foster
ing assistance; but it was arrested in its incip
ience, by causes beyond the control of human
power, and died in'infancy'. It is only when
the experiment would have been successfully'
consummated and being taken up by the ma
jority of the ryots, and in the full tide of pros
perity, that the rough checks and onerous impo
sitions of government would have been felt, and
the consequent ruinous effects have ensued.—
The government is not prepared tor such a re
form in its whole policy, as would be necessary
to sustain and encourage a liberal introduction
of improvements. Innovations ot all kinds are
expensive, and when made in any sphere of in
dustry, old implements and old practices must
be laid aside, and new ones purchased and a
dopted, which, in the case ol the Hindoos, are
both beyond their means and repugnant to their
inclinations. The motto of the Anglo-Indian
Government has ever been—“ Revenue.” To
realize the largest possible revenue appears ev
er to have been the engrossing feature of poli
cy. To accomplish this end, means of every
character have appeared justifiable, and the
country is now so drained as to stagger from
exhaustion. The magnitude and importanse
of the East India Company is commensurate
with its wealth, and the apparatus of govern
ment, and the machinery of war, have become
so burthensome and extended as to require eve
ry’rupee of revenue, and to render any relaxa
tion in the rigor of taxation impracticable.—
These facts are more apparent and startling to
the local authorities in India, than to the Court
of Directors, which is the cause of the indiffer
ence and almost aversion of the former to the
scheme.
There is not a government on earth, concern
ing which so much has been written and so lit
tle is known, as the Anglo-Indian. Until with
in a lew years past, the Government of India
and the condition of the people, have been as
hermetically sealed to the rest of the world as
walled China. Even to this day, few have ven
tured to write candidly and truthfully. The
majority of the books on this subject, have been
written by' Englishmen, and not unfrequently
by Cockneys, who have never stepped beyond
the limits of a Presidency, and the warm’ and
genial influence of fheir Courts. So far as my
experience goes, (and my intercourse with the
people was necessarily of so familiar a charac
ter, as to give me every advantage in forming
correct opinions.) by far the majority of these
works stand but poorly the test of scru tiny, and
comport but gracelessly with the fair truth.
The common sense of every' man, who is at all
observant of passing events, or conversant in
history-, knows that when a tyrannical govern
ment has an interest to represent, and that rep
resentation is ex parte, it will favor the interest.
The recent discussions in the Parliament of
Great Britain, show the difficulty, even those
who have a right tojjnow, find in attempting to
ascertain the secret motives that prompt the
Government to action—how much more diffi
cult, I hen, will it prove to those who have no
right to know, save the right which every one
has to see and hear, and to write what he sees
and hears, and the laudable desire to expose the
abominations of a tyrannical government to ar
rive at any correct information concerning meas
ures ot government, particularly when aTtnowl
edge of those measures will be prejudicial to
its interests.
It is a well known fact, that until very lately,
mutual oaths of secrecy were administered be
tween the Governors, their Councils, and Sec
retaries, binding them to secrecy with the most
awfuldenunciationsinca.se of infidelity. The
infernal mysticisms of sell-immolating, and hu
man-sacrificing Hindoo idolatry, were scarce
more dire and destructive ofthe true ends of hu
man society, than the hidden operations of the
early Anglo-Indian rule. The Hindoos, who
have for years been the patient sufferers of these
accumulated wrongs, are not, catmd be ignorant
of. or insensible to the excesses of which they
are the victims. But the severing influence and
inveteracy of their castes, have prevented the
union necessary to burst their tetters—jand their
universal ignorance, and want of means, have
been the insuperable obstacles to an appeal to
the opinion of nations. Each man appears to
have contented himself with casting in the scale
his individual opposition, which consists in dis
simulations and the most demoralising intrigues
to thwart and deceive the revenue officers.—So
far from attaching any turpitude to prevarica
tion, tire Hindoos consider it a legitimate fea
ture of trade. Our first going amongst the Hin
doos was regarded by them with the greatest
suspicion; every step was closely observed and
scrutinized. We were at first looked upon as
revenue officers, and lhe instruments of some
new and more efficient scheme of taxation;
they thought our attention was to ascertain
wiiat amount ot produce their lands could yield,
which is a secret they keep closely' from the
Government. The old Brahmins resisted with
all the influence of their holy' vocations—they
spoke of famines, and whispered ofthe anger of
their Gods; and as the rains were a little irreg
ular in the first part ofthe season, it was looked
upon as an evident sign of divine displeasure,
and all because the Company were going to
plant Cotton.
In no country is Government patronage more
influential and pcstiletdialihan in India. " Favor
is the breeze that watts to fortune. Not only do
the winning allurements of place, distinction
and wealth, lull men into an acquiescence, and
often lead them to praise measures which their
judgments condemn and denounce, but the stem
displeasure of Government which meets a dis
senting voice, coerces to an approval or imposes
silence. Many Europeans, and some natives
of talent and ability, have written on the subject
of India, and in their wor ks much genuine in
formation is to be found as to the early history
ofthe people, their religion, language and litera
ture, and the geological features and resources
of the country; but as to the Anglo-Indian Gov
ernment, and the condition of the people under
it, the advocates of truth have forgotten the cries
ol humanity and maintained a discreet silence,
whilst, others of easy conscience, basking in
the sunshine of Government favor and looking
to it for sunshine, have given, in the soft and
smooth strains of sycophancy to all they have
written, colorings false and flattering. In the
list of writers on India there tire found, however,
some few noble exceptions. For the sake ot
those who may wish to look farther into the sub
ject, 1 will mention Bishop Heber and Sir John
Frederick Shore, men above prejudice, and too
pure lor corruption. The works of these two
great men are considered, in India, as heretical,
and are consequently rarely seen.
Notwithstanding all thatlqts been said of tbe
excellency oftheAnglo-Indian Govenuneiiqand
of its boasted superiority over all the native
governments, (which, by the way, is a sony
boast sot a nation whose very atmosphere is
freedom, which stands the very head and front
of civilization,) no people in the world are more
disaffected than its Indian subjects, and certain
ly none have more cause to be so. The East
India Company presents one of the most astoun
ding anomalies in the history of Governments
an imperiumia <7/q' ei >—governizing the aflairs
and wielding and giving point to the destinies
of more than one hundred millions of people, in
which they have not the remotest participation.
—Not, an office of trust, civil and military
political, has ever been confided to a native,
which of itseli atiords one of the mostcouvin
cing proofs ofthe uujtistness and tyrannj' of its
rule. Is it astonishing, then, that the people are
disaffected, and averse to a co-ojteralion with the
Government! But all has not been told. With
the establishment of a novel and obnoxious
Government, a strange, oppressive and compli
cated system of laws was imported into lhe
country and forced upon the people; these laws
were and are administered by the minions of
Government, who have no community or fel
lowship of feeling with the j.eople—who go
amongst them with the avowed purpose ot ac
cumulating a fortune, and of returning to their
homes so soon as their unholy purpose is ac
complished. All judicial proceedings are car
ried on in the Persian language, which is for
eign and unknow to the mass, and that mass of
the people, too, who have the most need of the
wholesome remedies of the law s.
I mention thase facts, not with a view to af
ford any satisfactory information ofthe general
system of the Anglo-Indian Government, which
would be fa ‘•ey.n I the limits of toy ; iii'pw,
but as in. io < ily i. v..m io ',ie main point un

The Laie Rejections.
Of’ THE
' SENATOR'S TYI.RH AND WSUSTEh!
The public have been informed that Messrs.
Wise and Cushing intend to return immediate
ly' to their respective districts, and become can
didates again lor Congress. It is natural that
they should be anxious to appeal to their con
stituents alter the judgment just pronounced up
on them by the Senate of the United States; and
it their motto w ere “a fair field and no favor!”
they' migiit pass to the trial without a single
word from Us. But we ate assured from an au
thentic source that, not only are the whole pow -
er and patronage of the Administration to be
wielded in their favor, but the most strenuous
exertions are to be made by all who are in the
pay of Government to get up such a breeze a
bout their rejection as may be felt in ail tbe
Congressional districts of Massachusetts and
Virginia,—not atone in those of Newburyport
and Accomac. The President makes their
cause a personal mallei; and all theoiiice hold
ers w'ill be required to do the same. War is
to be made upon the Senate. The Whigs of
that body, especially, aie tube charged with
partisan and tactions motives; and every means
is to be employed to excite popular sympathy in
behalf of tne rejected nominees, as the victims
of a secret and irresponsible despotism— “an os
tracism (to use. the language of the Madison
ian) founded on the meaner feelings of our na
ture.”
The Government Official Organ has already
begun the wore, in an elaborate article imputing
the conduct of the Senate to party zeal, vindic
tiveness, and disappointed ambition; and con
cluding with tbe following modest requisition:
“The persons, who have prevented, by the ex
ercise of an authority of such temporary dura
tion t/rz’ louiplelwn (as we verily’ believe) of the
popular Kill (!) owe it to the people and to them
selves to explain the grounds on which nomina
tions personally unexceptionable have been re
jected.’.
Now’ we shall prove to the official bv an au
thority which so supple a courtier will hardly
venture to question—namely, that of President
Tyler himself—that the Senate on Friday night
only performed its duty—that by the acts which
have excited so much indignation, the rights of
no other branch or the Government were imrin
ged or impaired—and that the Madisonian’s de
mand for reasons is “presumptuous.”
On Deceffiber 17th, 1833, President Jackson
nominated to the Senate five gentlemen as Gov
ernment Directors of the Bank of tire United
States lor the year 1834. One (Mr. Bayard)
was confirmed: all the others were rejected on
the 27th ot February following. He renomina
ted them on March 11th, in a message setting
forth his reasons at great length. On Thursday
May Ist, the Committee of Finance made a re
port on the message by the hands ot John Tyler.
Mr. Webster was a member of the Committee,
and probably wrote the report, although Mr.
Tyler fathered it; Hear what he says:
“The Senate claims no authority to control
the President in his nominations; but it cannot
surrender the exercise of its own right of deci
ding for itself on the propriety of advising and
consenting to appointments to office. It cannot
deprive itself of its own powers. It cannot sur
render ilslnen consliMiittutl rharader. It cannot
through apprehen.-ion of any’ consequences
whatever, lorbear from exercising its high duty
of giving or refusing its advice and consent to
nominations of the "president in all cases, ac
cording to its conscientious sense of its men obli
gations to the constitution ami the country.”
We beg the official to ponder on this, ” hich
we regard as equally sound and important; and
to remember that the follow ing response to a
call for reasons was given by Senator Tyler:
“It must be obvious that from the constitution
of the Senate, from the manner of its proceed
ings, from the manner of its proceedings, fr om
lhe absolute right of every member to vote tor
or against particular nominations for reasons of
his oir.n,\v\wt\\ev others concur with tiio-e r ea
sons or nor, the gtounds ofthe votesof individ
ual membets can nevti be set forth, nor authen
tically known.” ‘The precise character ot the
objections taken by each and every incml er of
this majority or even their general character, it
would be viiEsi.MTi'ous to attempt to ascertain.”
It is enough that lhe Senate, in tiie exercise ofau
unquestionable constitutional right, has refused
its advice and consent to the nominations.”
And then, as to the arbitrary imputations ol
the Madisonian, hear again what the President
said, when as a Senator he was assailed in a
similar manner for his rejection ol sei vile favor
ites ;
“The Senate, not being bound togivereasons
for its vote in these cases, is not bound nor would
it be proper togi ve any answer to remarks found
ed on the presumption of what such reasons
must have been in the present ease."
These views are so ouvious that we would
leel bound to apologize to our readers for repeat
ing them, were it not for the systematic efforts
now made to present the Senate as having acted
in a ruthless and factious manner. We du not
choose to set lot tir lltc reasons widen, we con
ceive, may have prompted the action of the Sen
ate: and which induced us heartily to approve it.
They are apart from the presentquestion;—lot,
it is to be presumed that the Senate makes the
same inquiries which the President ought to
make in regard b> every person nominated—“ls
he fit for the office ! Is lie actuated by correct
views and motives ! Is he likely to be influenc
ed by those considerations alone which should
govern him in the discharge of his duties?” and
that its decision is governed accordingly.
We now call public attention to the fact that
in the report from which e have quoted, Sena
tor Tyler and Senator Vv'ebster took the strongest
ground against lhe hhxominatiox of persons
once rejected by the Senate.’ They told President
Jacksbn that the rotes were well calculated to
satisfy him that lhe Senate entertained decisive
objections to the contii illation of those jiersuns.
Was not this lire case also in regard to Messrs.
Wise and Cu ' ..at ute.f tv.utouue ;.i:i
not prove uecistvc objections, what wuulut
They told President Jackson, thatduring the ad
ministrations of W ashington, Jefferson (and the
elder idams, there was not a single instance of
renomination; although their nominations were
sometimes rejected. They dwelt particularly on
the case of Col. Fishbum, a gallant officer of the
Revolution, who was nominated by Gen. Wash
ington as Collector at Savannah and rejected.
Although the General was obviously mortified,
the nomination having been made upon his own
personal knowledge ofthe individual, he sent in
the name ot another. What a contrast was
this conduct ofthe Father of his Country to the
angry and undignified behavior of President
Tyler, renominating the same persons over and
over again! W hat are we to think of the renom
inalion a third time—a measure entirely unpre
cedented—and that too without the assignment
of any reason- , as the Senate had decided delib
erately twice to withhold its assent.!
The whole course ofthe Chief Magistrate on
this occasion deserves the severest reprobation,
and as wc have shown, is condemned by his own
recorded opinions and those ofthe Secretary of
State. They rebuked Gen. Jackson for having
intimated that he would not send to the Senate
lhe names of any other persons to be directors
ofthe Bank except those who had been rejected.
Yet Mr. Tyler refused to .-endinthenameofany
person for France except Mr. Wise; anddeclar
ed that he would not send another in the place
iff'Mr. Spencer, were he rejected.' We main
tain now that rfr.-is responsible, and he alone, for
the vacancy at Paris; and would have been had
the Treasury been left without a Secretary.
What was his own language in 1834, against
General Jackson?
“If these offices remain unfilled, it will not be
the fault of the Senate. Their power of with
holding their assent from the President's nomi
ations is not altogether vain and nugatory. It
was given them by the Constitution to be exer
cised in proper cases, and |in their own discre
tion. The Senate has only done its duty; and
having done this honestly and conscientiously,
it cannot fear any consequences.”
The public may thus see how senseless is the
outer}- against the Senate; and how unworthy an
exhibition the Executivelmade of himself when
he persisted in pressing his nominees upon that
body. Let the facts go forth to the people of
Virginia and Massachusetts, and then let Messrs
Cushing and Wise make their personal griefs
elements in the general contest, if they think
political capital can be made out ot it.

There is but little news to communicate in re
gard to the Cabinet. Conjecture, however, con
tinues to be busy, and makes a number of
guesses, which as they circulate through the
community, put on the character of reports more
or less “authentic.'' The Cabinet will remain
as at present organized, probably, until Mr.
Everett's answer is received to the unsought
honors of the China Mission. The Secretary of
State keeps his own counsel (if, indeed, he has
yet made up his mind,) and thereby baffles the
curious, and also exceeding perplexes some
whose aspirations cannot be gratified until he
relinquishes his present post. The President
told a gentleman the other day that Mr. 'Webster
would go to England as Minister; butthat he
had some business connected with Ids Depart

to the head of a Department.
It seems to be generally understood that the

their pastor, and gave him notice to quit, and
that they would not pay him altera certain time.
He refused to leave, and the Bishop declined
withdrawing him, until hi> demands were paid.
The Court decided that the wardens were, un
der the charter, the legal ownets of the church
property, ami its temporal administrators, tree
from 'any control from the clergy; that the' war
dens were responsible to the congregation only;
and neither the Pope or his Bishops hare any legal
authority in Louisiana, either to manage the prop

Hi drografiiical Office, Match 11.
Advantage was taken of the clear sky this
morning i. examine the disc of the sun for the
-pot wincli so tfitreb attracted 'Our attention and
excited ou > speculations a lew days ago. It was
gone! ft" sequent observations may enable us
ki , e.coi... c ..uc.lier Oi Uol this spot was tile
nebula of u comet.
The wind was high and the sun unobscured
after 10 A. M., and, though the day was very
unfavorable lor observations, search for the
comet was diligently renewed. It could not be
seen.
From sunset till the stars came out, our tele
scopes were intently pointed to the western sky,
with the hope of catching at least a glimpse of
the comet through the lading twilight. But we
were compelled to content ourselves with admi
ring the wonderful beauty and grandeur of its
train, the first traces of which were seen at 6h.
2m. sidereal time. At 6h. 28m. its greatest
breadth was 1 deg. 40m., as neatly as could be
ascertained, for the bright moonlight rendered
the measuiement imperfect. The curve, before
described, was again seen this evening, and in
the same position, but much more indistinctly.
At ten minutes alter 9 o’clock, Ihe tail had not
gone down, but had gradually faded away in the
haze of the west.
Comparing by my own observation with the
accounts which have already reached us from
different parts of the country, there appears now
to be but little doubt but that this is the tail of a
Comet, and that the head itself has been seen at
mid-day in the East with the naked eye. If so,
for length of tail and magnitude of nebula, it
may be classed among the most remarkable
that have ever appeared. In the year 43, B. C.,
historians tell us of a hairy starthat was seen
by day-light, in the year A. D. 1402, two Com
ets were seen in bread day, and the tail of one
of them at noon. Tycho Brahe discovered a
Comet by daylight in 1577. The Comet of
1744 could be seen in the day time without the
aid of glasses. Its tail, though not so long as
this, was curved, and formed an arc of 90 deg.;
though, for a part of the time, it had several
tails, the length of which varied from 30 deg. to
40 deg. The Comet of 1680—the most celebra
ted ot modem times—had a tail computed at
from 70deg. to 90 deg. That of 1618 had the
largest tail on record —104 deg.; anil this vies
with that in length.
“The tail,” says Vince, in his Astronomy, “in
creases as the Comet approaches its perihelion;
immediately alter which it is longest and mo.-t
luminous, and then it is a little bent and convex
towards those parts to which the Comet is mov
ing; the tail then decreases.”
If this Comet has obeyed this, rule it has already
doubled the sun, and is now on its way back, to
be asain lost in the regions of space.

Dean Swift and the Tailor.
A tailorin Dublin, near the residence of the
Dean, took into the “ninth part” ol his head that
he was specially and divinely inspired to inter
pret the prophecies, and especially lhe book of
Revelations. Quitting the shop-board, he turn
ed out a preacher, or rather a prophet, until his
custonieis had left his shop, and his latnilj' were
likely to famish.—His monomania was well
known to Dean Swift, who benevolently watched
for some opportunity to tmn tiie current of his
thoughts. One night, the tailor, as he fancied,
gut especial revelation to go and convert Dean
Swift, and next morning took up the line of
march to tbe deanery. The Dean, whose study
was furnished with a glass door, saw the tailor
approach and instantly surmised the nature of
his errand. Throwing himself into an attitude
of solemnity and thoughtfulness, with the Bible
opened before him, and bis eyes fixed on the 10th
chapter of Revelation, he awaited his approach.
The door opened, and the tailor announced in
an unearthly voice—
“ Dean Swift, lam sent by the Almighty to
announce to you”—
“Come in, my friend,” -aid the Dean, “lam
in great trouble, and no doubt the Lord has sent
you to help me out ot the difficulty.”
This um xfieeted welcome inspired the tailor,
and strengthened greatly his assurance in his
own prophetic character, and disposed him to
listen to the disclosure.
“My friend,’’ said the Dean, “I have just
been reading the 16th chapter ot Revelation, and
am greatly distressed a: a difficulty 1 have met
with ; and you are the very man to help me out.
Here is an account ofau angel that came down
from heaven, who was so laige that he placed
one foot on the sea and the other on the earth,
and lifted up his hands to heaven. Now, my
knowledge of the mathematics,” continued the
Dean, “hasenabled me to calculate exactly lhe
size and form ofthis angel; but lamina great
difficulty, for I wish to know how much cloth ft
will take to make him a pair of breeches ; and
as that is exactly in your line of business, I hare
no doubt the Lord has sent you to show me.”
This expostulation came like an electric
shock to the poor tailor I He rushed from the
house, ran to his shop, and a sudden revulsion
of thought and ieelingcameoverhim. Making
breeches was exactly in his line of business:.
He returned ohis occupation, thoroughly cured
of his proplietical revelation by the wit of the
Dean.

The Modern Sorceress ;
OR, TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION.
The criminal records ot Spain ever and anon
present cases, which prove that the revengeful
spirit, long held peculiar to the people of that
country and some other parts ol southern Eu
rope, still exists among them in almost undi
minished force. Circumstances, indeed, have
prevented the peaceful spread of education in
these quarters, and we could rationally look for
improvement from no other source. ’ A Sara
gossa paper describes the following appalling
case as having been heard before the magisteri
al tribunal of the city, onthe 4th of January
last. We give the narrative here, as translated
into the French journals.
Upon the flowery borders of Ebro, near the
city of Saragossa, there lived, within these lew
months, a woman named Calakena. She call
ed herself sixty years of age, and appealed not
to be young; but notwithstanding any tokens ot
age discernable on her countenance, it Was still
evident that she had been remarkable for beau
ty. Calakena had dwelt in her cabin on the
Ebro lor many years; she lived alone, ami, like
the owl, only issued, lot the most part, by night.
She carried continually in her hand a long black
staff or wand, and her dress was a gown com
posed of stutis of various kinds, and o! differ
ent colors, place! together. Throughout the
whole district—at Saragossa, Tarrag. na, an I
Huenca, from the gar.iett plains of Navarre
even to the far south—she was known, and re
puted a redoubtable sorceress; and all devout
Spaniards crossed themselves and muttered a
prayer at her approach, or in passing her resi
dence. This very tear indicated the extept ot
tiie popular beliet in her power; and hundreds
came, even from great distances, to avail them
selves of that power, in order to get a glance
into the future, or to further worse proposes. It
was no uncommon thing to find even carriages
at the door ofthe sorceress's cabin when the
shades of evening had fallen in.
Those who remembered the arrival ot Cala
kena in the neighborhood ol' Saragossa, said
that -he had then appeared young and exceed
ingly beautiful, though thetracesol some gnaw
ing grief were visible in her look and deport
ment. She herself had said at that time that
she came from Madrid, and that she desired to
pass the rest of her lite in peace, at a distance
troin the gay wot Id. Excepting as respected
the occupations: which het character drew upon
her, and which she did not dislike, or at least
did not avoid, Calakena really passed her days
in quiet. During the civil war, indeed, consul
tations multiplied upon her. She read horo
scopes to the chiefs of the Christines, and to the
soldiers of the army of Cabrera. All parties
treated her with respect for her mystical charac
ter, and she could pass from place to place, a
mong their wildest ranks, without a shadow of
injury. Such was the sorceress Calakena.
One evening in December, (1840), an equip
age stopped before the cabin of Calakena. A
lady stepped out of it. She was a young crea
ture of exquisite beauty, with cheeks colored
like lhe pomegranate, and long tresses, dark as
ebony.
“My dear mother,” said the visitant to the re
puted sorceress, slipping at the same time a du
cat of gold iruo her hand, “I am about to be
married, and I come to know if ray fortune is
to be a happy one.”
“From what place does your intended hus
band come?” askedCalakena.
“From Venice, mother,” was the reply.
“Venice!” cried the sorceress, with kindling
eyes, “Venice!—and his name?”
“Giacomo Salvadi," answered the visitor.
The Sybil bounded from her seat in a state ot
seemingly irrepressible excitement, with which
was mingled an appearance ot wild joy. After
a pause, she said, with a little more calmness,
“He loves you, does he?”
“Yes, mother,” returned the young lady.
“He calls you his angel, his divinity, the liv
ing -tin of his life!”
“Yes, my good mother ”
“He passes days at your leel in gazing upon
j our eyes, and the night he passes under your
windows?” ,
“Yes, often, my good mother; you speak tiie
exact truth,” said the visitant.
“And then he sings to you,” said t’ e sorcer
ess; “he sings to you such words as these—
The ruby and the opal stone,
The diamond with its kindling dyes,
The star of morn, so brightly lone,'
Have not the cliarm ot thy sweet eyes.
One tells us of the coming aim,
And gems their owner’s wealth may prove,
Rut thy sweet eyes, beloved one,
1 hey »peuk Un t '
i <s Oh, mother!” cried the young visitor to the
sorceress, “your power is astonishing. He
does sing these very words to me!”
“You see that everything is known to me,”
answered Calakena, “and you will be the better
prepared to follow my counsels, in order that
your marriage may be happy, it is necessary
that you should send your intended bridegroom
to me. On his firmness and courage, under the
proofs to which 1 shall subject him, depends
your future welfare.”
The young lady, Donna Isabella, was de
lighted with this answer to her application.—
Seeing the extent of the sorceress’s knowledge
in one respect, she had no doubt but the latter
could ensure her wedded happiness, or at least,
ward oft any impending evils by a timely wattl
ing. “if our happiness depend on the firmness
and courage of Giacomo, we must be happy,
tor he is brave as the Cid.’’
“Go, then,” answered Calakena, “an! tell
him to come hither to-morrow evening. But
you also must come, and before him.”
“Why before him, mother.'” asked lhe vi-it-
“Eee.iuse il i ■ essential to the proof lo which
he must be put,” said the fortune-teller; “and
above all, it is requisite that he should not be
aware of your coming hither. The charm
would be rendered of no avail by his knowledge
of your presence.”
The lady I: atelia entered her equipage, and
went home in all haste. She strictly obeyed
the instructions of Calakena, telling Giacomo
only so much of what had passed as the sorcer
ess desired. To please his lair young mistress,
Salvadi readily consented to visit the cabin ot'
Calakena. At the time appointed, he went
thit’icr aecot d i ugly.
On the following morning, Giacomo Salvadi
stooii as a prisoner before tiie chief magistrate
of Saragossa, in the presence of an eager and
whispering crowd. The hands of Salvadi
were tied bei.iml his back. On the court table,
in front of the bench of justice, there lay some
linen and portions of female attire, stained
deeply with blood. In a glass beside them was
a portion of the same fluid.
The alcade mayor first broke silence, by ad
dressing the accused, “Giaeotno Salvadi,”
said the magistrate, “you are charged with the
assassination of Donna Isabella, your own be
trothed bride. Have you any defence to offer,
or explanation to give!”
“Yes, sir,” replied the accused, in low but firm
tones.
“Speak then,’ said the alcad.; “and may Hea
ven eiud.k' you to justify yourself and clear up
this dreit l'ul transaction!”
Tire Accused commenced by a statement of
what iia- aticady been detailed here, describing
Donna i: della’., visit to the sorceress, and the
conseqn, ■ I request made to hiruselt that he also

welcome, s.aia site; you must now coaie with
me to some distance from this place. But in
the first place, let me ask if you have a firm
bold heart?’ ‘1 think I have,’ was my reply
‘Then let us hence,’ answered the sorceress;
and desiring me to follow closely, she walked
away from the cabin. The night was rather
dark, the light of the moon being but feeble.
We walked on without stopping, for nearly a
quarter cl an hour, until we reacned the court
of the church of Pilar. Calakena here«uade
me enter into a low and dimly-lighted chamber.
All that I could see in it was a table with a black
cloth upon it, concealing something. An emp-
U’ glass and a poinard stood cn another table or
shelf.
’Giacomo!* said the sorceress, in a low but
emphatic voice, ‘it you would be happy, strike
that poinard through this cloth!’
“I hesitated. “1 know not,” said I, “if I
ought to uo such a thing without knowing—”
“Coward I” muttered Calakena, “you would
command destiuv, and yet your arm trembles at
such a petty trial!”
“Thinking that, at the most, this trial could
only be a foolish and fruitless piece of mumme
ry, I became ashamed of my weakness, and lift
ing the poinard, struck it into the middle of the
black cloth. Horrible to relate, blood immedi
ately burst in a stream through the aperture
made by the weapon ; in one instant after the
stroke was struck, and before I could tecover
from the shock consequent upon its results,
Calakena, who had the glass in her hand, dart
ed forward, and caught some drops ot the flow
ing blood intb it.
“To thy health, Giacomo Salvadi!” cried
she, with the voice ol a triumphant demon, as
she raised the glass to her lips; “it is Marian
etta who drinks to thee!”
“In the sorceress 1 now recognized a woman,
with whom I had been acquainted many t ears
before, and who, when 1 had left her, had sworn
hitter vengeance against me.—But 1 had no
time to attend to her, for ere her frantic word
were uttered, quick as tier proceedings were, the
black eloili trad been cast off, and 1 round a wo
man on tiie table, uttering her dying moans—
The mc .ning of the sorceress w;:s naw made
but too clear to me. The victim wa- my be
trothed bride, Isabella! From her simple lips,
Calakena had leatned my name and my inten
tion of marriage, an I bad profited by Isabeila -

Several u ituesM* came forward alien Giaco
mo had concluded, and testified to several points
in his favor. While Giacomo hung in agony
over his bleeding bride, the sorceress had lied
and some ofthe witnesses had Neel | ] ie r passing
with speed from the neighborhood. Isabella"
too, had lived long enough to explain the whole
transaction, as tar as she knew of it. n er dy
ing declarations went to substantiate all that
had been related by Salvadi. In consequence
ofthe production of these proofs in his tavor,
Giacomo was. finally acquitted of the crime’
with the consent ofall acquainted with lhe case’
The sorceress Calakena has been sought for,
but has not as yet been heard of. From Giaco
mo and others, it has been learned that she was
a woman not more than thirty-live years old,
and must have assumed the appearance of age
in order the more effectually to impose on the
public, and prosecute the profession to which
'he had applied herself. On her cabin being
examined, a number of coloring substances
were found, by means of which she had given
herself the hue and look of old age. The length
of time during which she had nursed the senti
ment of revenge, shows a violence of passions
scarcely credible without such proofs as those
given. It appears even but too probable that
she had assumed the character of a sorceress at
first, in lhe hope that she would better attain her
desired object, and that her plan of revenge had
lieen tong mature !. But for the lamentable and
ignorant credulity, however, of her victims, her
murderous purposes might have been frustrated.
Halt o! the calamities of mankind come in the
train of superstition.
AUGUSTA MARKET.
Wednesday Evening, March 15.
Ct,{ton The same quiet elate thaf we have reported
for the pan fortnight, still exists in our Cotton market.
Buyers still hold ofi awaiting the Great Western ac
counts, and tho sellers do not offer any that they are
not forced to sell. Our stockdoea not increase much,
as our farmers seem to hold back until operation* re
commence. Some tew sales are daily made, and we
quote 4 (ri) G cent, 0 > extremes ofthe market.
Dty (iooth. Hardwire, SKupr, gv,—Our wholesale
dcaleas-xem busy, both in receiving their spring sup
plies and ;n selling to a number of country merchants,
who have been in the market during the past week.
Siteftns.— Recent airival* have much increased the
stock in om market, and caused considerable sales
amongst our wholesale dealers to the trade.
B ■ ow, Considerable quantities ot this article are
daily received, and sold from waggons at 5 (a) s|c ;
and I. M rd at 6 (a) 7c. About SY) pounds Live Gee>e
feathers were sold at 22c.
Four.—The receipts of Canal and Western Flour
have been quite heavy ; and Canal commands by
the quantity, and retails at
•S> /L About 6000 bushels were sold from the wharf
ata fraction over 30 cent* : retail price 50 cents.
Exchange on New* York, ('harleston, and
Savannah, continues dull at par. Out door sales are
made at some discount. Central Bank notes are in de
mand at 27 cent discount—large amounts are offered
at 25 without buyers. Alabama Bank notes cannot be
sold under <0 ct discount. We known of no sale of
6 cent Bonds, but think 50 cents might be obtained
for them. The late notice of the Governor as regards
the coupons seems to have suspended operations in them.
The bills of the Insurance Bank of Columbus, the
Exchange Bank of Brunswick, the Phoenix Bank of
Columbus, and the Bank of Hawkinsville, are not taken
at tiny rule in our market, as our merchants have but
little confidence in their stability.

Cotton— The market ha* been rather quiet to-day.—
Holders still further advancing their pretensions, there
have been but few purchasers. Sales about 2000 hales,
generally at a slight improvement on yesterday’s pri
ces, and holders stiff.
Erch Sight and short sight checks on N. York
were readily obtained to day at 16 cent. 60 day bills
arc scarce, the ruling late to day was 14 ct. Sight

Macon, March 14.
Cotton— Owing to the bad weather very little has
come in the past week—and sales from warehouses
have been light. Transactions in the article will be
limited until the receipt of further foreign advices—
which are hourly lookedpor. Buyers and speculators
need baldly expect prices to be lower than they are—as
the crop (according to our estimation) will not exceed
two and a halfmiliions of bales, (if it does much over
tw'oand a quarter,) which is not more than will be de
manded by the increased consumption, magnified as it
will be by the low price of the raw material. We make
no alteration in our quotations—say 3| lo 5f extremes.
New York, March 11.
CofltT- We noticed the large sales of Sumatra, (smo
key) 3000 bags went off with the exception of a small
lot at s|fa) cents. Very little doing at private sale.

at 54.12-1: Alexandria, Petersburg, and Pennsylvania
are still held at 54,121.
C.tton— Good and fair Cottuns go off very freely, and
prices are well sustained. The common qualities are in
out little demand ; sales about 800 bales a day. Upland
