** How beautiful an the feet of them that preach
the Goapel of peace and bring glad tidings of rood
things.”—Romxmb x., 15.
The Gospel sheds a blessing and a glory on
all that comes into contact with it. It blesses,
and improves, and beautifies, all that it touch
es. It is a blessing from God, and is bis bles
sing on all hings. It is such a ble-sing as
we might well expect from him by whom it
was be.tow.d- It is a blessing exactly suited
to the alate of man. It is a blessing peculiarly
illustrative of the Divine benevolence,—a be
nevolence which is not merely general in its
diffusion among men, but which is exerted in
such a wav as to do effectual good to those on
whom it is bestowed. And thus it proclaims
the Divine glory: it does not indeed, bestow
its blessings? or display its glory, in the way we
might have naturally expected ; but yet in a
way which we cannot contemplate without
being charmed by ineffable goodness, aud
ravished with unspeakable love. The Gospel,
which regards us in our low condition, and con
templates oar exaltation to eternal glory : the
wisdom of which is displayed in so astonishing
a plan, which is seen in the propriety of all its
parts, which is revealed in all the formsol
gentleness, merey and love; the power which
accomplishes all these purchases of infinite
benevolence ;tbis Gospel, I say as it proclaims
itself to us from time to time, challenges our
admiration; not from what is eternal, but from
what is ineternal— from that which comes to
the heart Tnat which comes to cultivate our
minds, so as to raise them to a resemblance,
•hall I say, to the Divine intelligence, and
which reveals to us all the blessings of grace
here, and of glory hereafter. This Gospel,
which is so useful, so excellent, so engaging,
comes, even to the natural eye as a subject of
beauty and interest. The mere fact, that it is
an announcement of the Divine mind and will,
the mere fact that it is a development of the
Divine interference in behalf of man, the mere
fact that it contains a display of the Divine
benevolence, —this should excite feelings of
gratitude, and emotions of great delight; and
•ven this might lead us to use the exclamation
of the Apostle, which is now before us.
But the language of the text, in which the
Apostle again gives ntterance to the feelings
of the prophet Isaiah, while it reminds us of
a subject which demands from us all our
severance, our admiration and love, and the
unreserved devotion of all our powers of
heart and mind, —teaches us, also, that in this
condescension of his benevolence, God has
regarded things, not according to their outward
oirtuuutancao, but the reverse ; for those things
which are mean and contemptible in the sight
of men, are great and important in the sight
of God ; and those things which men account
great and valuable, in the Divine estimation
are as nothing. For, what is this world ?
what is life ?—what are all those things which
we call great!—what are rank, and title, and
the different varieties which exist among men ?
Alas, alas I they are but words; and what are
words before God ?—they are as atoms; and
what are atoms before the great God ot
boaven and earth ? Do we talk of the beau
ty, the glory, the excellency, of the Gospel ?
Let ns not be mistaken. Brethren; we might
bless God for everyday we live,—for in him
we live, and move, and have our bring, all the
blessings of this life come from him ; and, with
respect to our religion, we might bless him for
this,—for all its excellent principles, and for
all its blessed declarations, and for all the
sublime objects it presents te our faith; or,
to speak more after the language of the text,
wo anight ole.. God for our churches and our
chapels; and then, dwelling on the ministers
who speak in them, we might bless God for
their beads, for their lips, for their tongues.
But what are ths words of the text 7 41 How
beautiful are the feet of them that preach the
Gospel of psaee, and bring glad tidings of
good things! ” Ah! what is the church, the
chapel, the pulpit 1 what is the man who stands
in the pulpit? what is his head, his heart,
his tongue 1 what is all that belongs to us 1
Can these convert one soul of a thousand?
Can Paul, or Apodoe, or Cephar,—can any
eloquence of man make a sinner come to the
foot of the cress, and bring him to bow down
before the throne ol grace, and cause him to
seek with earnestness the salvation of the soul?
—No.
What than are we to bless God for !—For
OTerjthiog ; bat chiefly, we say, for the Gea
wl. And what is the Gospel 1 The Gospel
M the nows of peace, tho glad tidings of good
things, the aoundingforth through the world of
the blessed tidings of Christ and his salvation.
O glorious Gospel ! O happy Gospel I We
urej indeed, blessed in thio I We are blessed
in our eburchss and chapels ; we are blessed
in eur sermo is and services; we are blessed in
our lose feasts and class meetings; we are bless
ed in what we do and what we say :—bat wAy
are we blessed in all these things 1 Ah, there
is the question I WhaiioitallT What has it
done for us f My brethren, when we are
about to do a clever thing, we should be care
ful not to say too much ; for, mind you, whilo
the Gospel does ns great good, it comes without
aoneb noise,—itreuders ui everlasting service,
but it is secret and silent in its course. It
looks abroad on all men, and preaches peace
to all nations, and kindreds, and tongues, and
•ooplo ; still it * cometh not with observation."
The Gospel of Christ celebrates its owa praise,
but it does this by itsdirect effects—by its plea
sing operations—by the truths its spreads, and
the blessing it diffuses in the hearts of the chil
dren of men. We are blessed, not so much
in ths purity of the troth, in the excellence o'
our religious services,—services performed in
almost every corner of the land, from week to
wook and from Sabbath to Sabbath. —but be
cause the Gospel has done, and is doing infi
nitely more than all this tn our hearts and tn our
fives.
"How beautiful are the feet of them that
preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad ti
dings of good things I”
1 will endeavor to bring the subject before
you in another point of view. 1 beg your in
dulgence; I will speak honestly land if I should
speak with warmth, I shall be more honest.
While 1 have been among you in this country.
1 have boon greatly blessed. I have seen much
to adm ra ; but have I admired your beads,
your hearts, your words 1 No; there has been
a sacred track, if I may so call it, in all your
towns, and cities, and villages. Do you not iu
this see and I eel, that while your preachers
have gone forth, the sound ol their Master’s
Cast has been heard behind them f The Min
isters has gone forth with the Gospel, and it
has left a saered unctiou behind it; we follow
the track of his fe«tby the good which has been
effected. You have not only been counselled
by your ministers, but your hearts have been
ialasnced, and the holy reformation has been
going on. We may bless God that we have
ehapebnow, and that wears net constrained to
preach in the fields. It becomes us to do jus
tice to oar God, and to all the blessings he be
stows. We will bless him, therefore, for our
shape Is— ■any of them splendid ones. But,
O brethren,brethren ! shall we not especially
>raiee God for the edicts produced by the
Geepel T shall we not rejoice for an awakened,
a converted, and sanctified people f These
are the marks left by the feet el those who
proclaim the Gospel of peace.
There are many good sermons preached and
much eloquence displayed where there is not
*bo greatest wisdom ; —there may be very fine
shape Is, where there is a very poor church;
there may be a splendid pulpit, where there is
a heartless ministry chapels, and pulpits,
and ministers, and sermons, in themselves, are
but poor things to thank God for. But an
humble roof, and the Spirit of God in the
heart of the preacher, and the principle of
God's benevolence proclaimed to sinful man.
and the effects of the divine goodness display
od in the hearts of men, these may well fur
nish matter for sincere praise to God. “How

have been taught by the Gospel that your past
sins may be forgiven you; that you may re

Our object in addressing you in his name is,
that you may be converted unto God. Are

look to Jksuj Christ ; mark the light by which
he ascended to heaven—the light in which he
now shines. Do you not know that Christ is
even now with you, and that his presence can
turn your darkness into day! And what

May many sinners lift up their hearts to him,
and receive a blessing! May many see that
there is something in the Gospel which is sui

cessary—essentially necessary—to their present
and final happiness and salvation !
The President of the United States and
the Boston Mob.
In the subjoined document (says the Boston
Courier) we lay before our readers the senti
ments of President Filmore respecting the
outrage which happened in this city on the
15th of February last. It will be remembered
that immediately after that unfortunate occur
rence the City Council caused to be transmitted
to Washington certain orders and resolutions
enacted by them, for the purpose of publicly
expressing their condemnation of the outrage,
and of explaining the circumstances connec
ted with it. Under the direction of the Presi
dent, Wr. Webster has written to Mayor
Bigelow a reply to this communication. The
sentiments expressed in this letter will meet
with the hearty approval of every man who
desires the peace and safety of this communi
ty. It is highly gratifying to perceive that the
view taken by the President of the affair of
February is such as by no means diminishes
his confidence in the good sense, integrity,
national spirit, and loyalty of the people of
Boston. The wide circulation of this letter
will do much good in removing the false
impressions which have boeu created respect
ing the existence among ua of disaffection to
the Federal Government and our constitution
al obligations. It is impossible to slate the
matter in a clearer and more satisfactory
manner than it has been done by Mr. Web
ster. This letter will bo read with unqualified
approval and satisfaction by every true Amer
ican zitizen:
Wasrisoton, March 10, 1851,
Hen. John P. Bigelow, Mayor of Boston :
Sir : The President has had the pleasure to
receive your letter of the 15th February, en
closing official copies of the order and resolves
lately adopted by the two branches of the
Government of the city of Boston.
It affords him great satisfaction to perceive
that such measures have been taken by the
authorities of Boston as give assurance that no
other outrage similar to that which was, he
presumes, the immediate cause of their adop
tion, will be permitted to take place in your
city.
From his earliest youth he has been accus
tomed to regard with the greatest respect and
veneration the c’ty of Boston, and the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts.
He has been taught to believe that their in
habitants were, almost above all others, the
friends of order and good government; intelli
gent enough to appreciate the advantages of
tree institutions of their own choice, aud ca
pable of understanding and resolving that
great political problem of the compatibility of
freedom with order, of liberty distinguished
from licentiousness, and of self-government
the furthest removed from the dangers of an
archy ; that they were espocial'y devoted to
the union of the States, and to the Constitu
tion which established and still maintains that
Union ; and that their patriotism would never
fail to counsel them to fulfil all their obliga
tions under the Constitution, justly and fully,
and in the very spirit in which such obliga
tions were entered into by their renowned an
cestors.
Entertaining these sentiments, it was diffi
cult for the President to credit the accounts
which were received of the outrage on all law
perpetrated in Boston on the 15th of February
last.
That a prisoner, in lawful custody, within
the walls of the Court-house, in the centre of
the city, and in full sight of the offices of the
municipal authorities, had been at noonday
forcibly rescued, by a mob of one or two hun
dred persons, from the officers of the law, car
ried out of the building, and through the pub
lic streets, in a sort of triumph, and enabled to
escape altogether, without an attempt on the
part of any of the authorities or any of the
citizens to preserve order and maintain the
law. or to pursue and retake the fugitive, was
a statement that seemed to him too improbable
to be true.
It was with a feeling of great relief that he
received such explanations of this strange
occurrence as showed it to have been an entire
surprise upon the citizens, and upon the au
thorities; an act of successful temerity on the
part of a very inconsiderable number of per
son, which only needed to have been appre
hended the shortest time beforehand to have
been prevented.
The President is confident that the great
majority of the citizens of Boston are entirely
loyal to the constitution : that they view with
just indignation all such outrages, and all at
tempts, whether by writing or speaking, to
incite the ignorant and unthinking to such acts
of violence ; and that they are ready to dis
charge the duties incumbent on them by the
constitution and laws of the United States,
faithfully and fearlessly, under all circumstan
ctances, whenever called upon by the proper
authorities.
The occurrence of the 15th of February is
certainly greatly to be regretted, as it gives oc
casion to those not unwilling to seize upon it
to question the disposition of your fellow-citi
zens to comply with their consu.utional obliga
tions in good faith; and the history of such
an outrage is spread far and wide, reaches
where au explanation of it may never follow,
and creates ill feelings towards those whose
only connexion with it is that they were resi
dents of the place in which it was perpetrated.
But if, as the President doubts not it will, this
even’, shall arouse the attention of good citi
zens tea sense of the dangers to be apprehend
ed from the inculcation of such doctrines as
have been spread abroad in the country, tend
ing to shake the au hority of all law. to unsettle
society, and to absolve men from ail civil and
moral obligations; and shall put them on their
guard against the further diffusion of such
pernicious sentiments, it may in the end. be
productive cf happy results; and certainly the
almost unanimous expression es ind'gnation
which it called forth among your citizens bal
ances. to some extent, the ill effect flowing
from it.
The President does not doubt that the peo
ple of Massacnusetts perfectly well understand
the difference between the freest discussion
of political measures, and opposition to
legal enactments already made and established.
He is quite sure that they regard the law of
the land not as a sentiment, or an opinion ;
but as a rule ot conduct prescribed by the gen
eral authority, and which all are bound to obey,
at the risk ot the penalties attached to its vio
lation.
The President directs me to tender you his
thanks for the transiuission of the resolutions.
1 remain. Mr. Mayor, with great respect,
your obedient servant. Du’l Wkbstkk

The Bounty Land Law.
The instructions published below by the
Commissioner of Pensions, approved by the
Secretary of the Interior, are important to
persons interested in the Bounty Land Law.
It will be seen that up to this time, about
one hundred thousand applications have been
received for the benefit of this law ; and every
days’s mail adds from five bunded to a thou
sand to their number. The office is now issu
ing between one thousand and twelve hun
dred a week; and it will require more than
eighteen months before the claims now on
hand can be disposed of, or matured into war
rants.
All persons interested in the law, or de
siring iuformatioa in regard to it, are re
quested to address their communications di
rectly to the Commissioner of Pensions.
From the intelligence and business qualifica
tions which this excellent officer brings to the
discharge of his duties, we are eat sfied that
applications will ba attended to with all prac
ticable despatch—but persoas interested must
bear in mind that these applications are Much
more numerous than was anticipated, and that
the ability to respond to them is limited by
the inadequacy of the clerical force. The I
business of the office has b *en so arranged
and systematized, by the present Commission
er, that every facility is rendered for its des
patch; and we are confident that the most
accommodating spirit prevails in the office,
and a most earnest desire to meet the wishes
of all who are interested in the impor
tant branch of the public service entrusted
to it.

Bounty Land Law—■lnstructions.
Department or the Interior, ?
Pension Office, March 20, 1851. )
New questions having been presented in the
( execution of the Bounty Land act of Septem
-29, 1850,and some of the rules and regula
tions heretofore prescribed either misinterpre
ted or disregarded, the following instructions,
approved by the Secretary of the Interior,
’ are issued for the benefit of all persona inter
ested :
1. The act es 11th February, 1847, having
restricted land bounty for services in the Mex
ican war to the non commissioned officers,
1 musicians and privates of the regular army,
1 the claims of commissioned officers in that
■ service are, for the first time, recognised by
the act of 28ih September, 1850. It was not
‘ the intention of that act to bestow bounty
land, on the whole army of the United States,
wherever located, but only on those whose ser
vice was connected with, or had a direct refer
’ ence to that war. Nor can the act be properly
construed to embrace the officers and employ
-1 eee attached to the War Department in Wash
ington, their service not being of that kind
which was contemplated. It is not necessary
that officers should have been actually within
the limits of Mexico or on the borders there
of, provided they were actively engaged in
the war and directly connected with its opera
tions.
2. la the war of 1812, troops were fre
’ quentiy called out by State authority, and not
> immediately mustered in the service of the
United States, If the Federal Government
paid such troops from the time of their en
rolment and before they were actually mus*
r lered in the service of the United Slates, that
payment is equivalent to the recognition of
’ their service from the date of the enrolment.
’ The time for which they were paid by the
United States furnishes a convenient and prac-
* tical standard for estimating the period of ser
vice.
* 3. The conflicts with the Creek Indians
' which commenced about sth May, 1836, and
ended 30th September, 1837, are considered
* ss embraced by the act of 1850 ; large bodies
4 of troops having been mustered in the United
States service, and several engagements hav
ing occurred, attended by the loss of many
* lives in battle, within that period. The dis
turbances eu the southwestern frontier in
. 1836 and 1837—and the New York disturban
' css in 1838 and 1840, are not considered as
embraced by the provisions of the aet of Sep
tember, 1850.
’ 4. it has been settled that Indians who were
regularly mustered in the service of the Uni
ted Slates, and formed a component part of the
* Ine of the army, were entitled to the benefit
of the act. In tbe case of the Cherokees,
who have an organized government, and a ju-
1 dicial system in operation, the affidavit in sup
t port of an application for land bounty must
be made before one of their judges, whose of
i ficial character shall be certified by their prin
cipal chief. The Creeks, having no judicial
officers-, the United Sates agent in that nation
is authorised to administer the necessary
oaths.
It has been heretofore stated that “teamsters
and artificers were not entitled to land bounty”
out this is not te be understood if such team
stars or artificers belonged to the line of the ar
my, and were regularly detailed for that pecu
liar kind of service.
6. Burgeons employed by a commanding of
ficer at a stipulated rate of compensalien, but
not commissioned or belonging to the line of
the army, are not entitled to land bounty.
7. It has been decided by the Department
that the substitute perlorming the military ser
vice, and not the employer, is entitled to the
bounty; but when the engagement is partly
performed by both each is entitled to his share
according to the period of service.
8. Where the declaration of the claimant on
oath, supported by a regular and authentic
discharge, is in conflict with the military rolls,
the former, a-? a general rule, will be preferred ;
and, where the roils are altogether silent as to
iheclaimant, the positive testimony of officers
andseldhrs with whom he served, and whose
names are found on the rolls, will be received
as evidence.
9. The act of September, 1850, excludes all
persons who have received, or are entitled to
receive land bounty under any act of congress
heretofore passed. In all applications hereafter
presented, reasonab'e time being allowed for
these instructions to circulate, it will he re
quired that the claimant should state in his
declaration that he has not received, nor is en
titled to receive such bounty.
10. The department has decided that wid
ows are entitled to the land bounty of deceas
ed soldiers, if they were widows at thepassage
of the act of 28th September, 1850. This is
the law in its geneneral application ; but the
widow of any officer or soldier killed in battle
is entitled to the maximum allowance of one
hundred and sixty acres, without reference to
the period of her husband's service, and, al
though a married woman at the passage of the
act, if unmarried at thedateef her application.
her claim is valid.
11. The death of an officer and soldier may
be proved by satisfactory evidence; and if
such officer or soldier should die after the de
claration filed at the Pension Office, but before
the issuing of the warrant, it shall be compe
tent for the widow, or if there be no widow,
for the minor children, to apply for the said
warrant, and receive the same, on filing the
necessary proofs of title.
Considerable anxiety prevails in some quar
ters in regard to the eiecntion of this law.
and much impatience manifested as to whether
applications forwarded have been received,
and when the warrants are like’y to be issued.
A few explanations will probably suffice. Up
to the time the present Commissioner entered
upon tho discharge of his duties (the Ist of
December, 1859) between thirty and forty
thousand applications were received; but as
the force employed had been engaged upon
other branches of the business, no special ac
knowledgement had been made to claimants.
Earlv in Decembers printed circular was pre
pared aud despatched by every mail acknowl
edging the receipt of claims; but as it was im
possible, for obvious reasons, that this circular
could be forwarded to previous applicants, it
was necessarily confined to the future. Hun
dreds, without a knowledge of these facte,
have been surprised that their own applica
tions were neglected, when others subsequent
ly forwarded have been acknowledged by mail.
If those who sent their claims prior to the 10th
of December will wait patiently, they will m
due time be advised, either in the form of a
warrant, or by lettter assigning the reasons
of suspension or rejection. Up to this pe
riod the office* with ail its force faithfully ap
plied, has only been able to issue be:ween
seven and eight thousand warrants on decla
rations received in October and early in No
vember. Some time therefore must elapse
before the numerous claims which arrived in
November and early in December can be final
ly acted on, or which the claimantscan be in
formed by the usual printed acknowledgment.
Up to the present time about one hundred
thousand applications have been received,
and every day's mail brings an increase, va
rying from five hundred to a thousand. The
office is now Dsning between a thousand and
twelve hundred warrants a week ; but more
than eighteen months must elapse before the
claims now on hand can be disposed of. or
matured into the form of warrants. The
number of applications having increased so
tar beyond what was anticipated, in order to
satisfy the public demand additisnal force was
asked of Congress near the close of the late
session ; and the request would doubtless hsve
been granted had it been made at an earlier
period. If granted hereafter, the work will
of course be accelerated, and the time of its
completion shortened-
Singular misconceptions exist as to the time
necessary to execute the law. The rule ol
the Department is that each claim shall be ac
ted on in turn, or in the order in which it is
received ; and this rule has been rigidly sr.d
impartially enforced. It would be tedious and
unnecessary to describe the proce.-s by which
the claims are conducted, from their first re
ception and acknowledgment to the final issu
ing of the warrants In order to gua d
against error and imposition, they are careful
ly regis’.ered and classified* and subjec ed to a
separate examination in different nands ; no
advantage in any respect being gained by a
hurried and ill-digested method of proceeding.
With all these precautions errors will unavoid
ably occur ; but means will also be employed
to render them harmless.
All persons interested iu the law, or desiring
information in regard to it, are requested to
address their communications directly to this
office, to which they are referred, if sent to
any es the Departments. J. E Hkath,

Liverpool Market
LIVERPOOL, March 7. — Cotton.— The inquiry
continued extensive up to Tuesday evening, and full
prices were paid; since then, the demand has be
come rather inanimate, and although the business still
continues to a fair extent, prices of last week for
American descriptions are barely supported. Egyp
tian has been largely dealt in, especially on specula
tion, but cannot bo quoted any dearer. Brazil are
decidedly steadier, and Sura's continue in good de
mand, at rather hardening prices. Speculators have
taken 2330 American, 260 Maranham, 2660 Egyp
tian, 1260 Surat, and 50 Bengal; and exporters 160
American, 70 Egyptian. 1'350 Surat, and 210 Madras.

We have had a uniformly fair demand for Cotton
this week, and the market being fairly supplied,
prices have been steady, but without any buoyancy.
During one or two days there has seemed an increase
in (he quantity offering, consequently a slight advan
tage to tbe buyer, but the difference is slight, pre
vious quotations for American are not easily realized,
and in some cases are reduced jd. Fair business
has been done in Sea Islands, and they are offered
freely at former rates. A large purchase of Egyp
tian on speculation has swelled the business in them
to a considerable amount, and the trade have bought
to a fair extent; prices are without change. Fair
business has been done in Brazils, and they are sale
able at full former rates. Surat, white and free from
seed, is rather dearer, though not generally to a quo
table extent. 2,330 American, 2,660 Egyptian, 260
Maranham, 1260 Surat, and 50 Bengal have been
taken on speculation ; and 160 American, 70 Egyp
tian, 1350 Surat, and 210 Madras for export. To
day we have bad a very fair demand from the trade ,
but the market is freely supplied, and closes tamely ;
in some instances a slight decline is noticeable,
though holders generally are firm; the sales are
5,000 bales, all to the trade,
Liverpool Corn Market, Friday, March!.
The an i vales since Tuesday are large from all quar
ters. The weather has been dry and frosty, and
favorable for agricultural work. The trade during
tbe same period has been without much activity, and
prices without variation. This day’s market was
slenderly attended, and a very limited business was
transacted in wheat, and prices were again slightly
in laver of the buyer. Flour was also neglected,
without any material change in tbe value of French;
but American, being more pressed for sale, was
per barrel cheaper. Egyptian beans were 6d. to Is.
per 480 lbs. lower, and grinding barley and peas
were easier to purchase. Oats and oatmeal were
dull, but held at former rotes. The inquiry for In
dian corn was slack, and the recent imports of Amer
ican new were offered at a decline of 6d. per 4SO
lbs.; old ex-store was held for full prices.
State of Trade Manchester, March 4 —We
had a very large attendance of manufacturers and
merchants on the Exchange this morning, and more
cheerfulness prevailed than for come weeks past.
Spinners were asking jd. to |d. per lb. advance for
yarn, and manufacturers Ijd. to 3d. per piece for
cloth, and but for this it is probable that a much lar
ger business would have been done for export,
though for the home trade there was little or no im
provement in demand. Export buyers were very
firm in resisting the advances sought for. and in few,
if any, instances were transactions effected at high
er than Saturday’s rates. In cases where spinners
were willing to take last quotations me tolerable
sales were effected. The overland news from In
dia had an unfavorable effect on the market, but it is
said that private commercial advices telegraphed
bear a more favorable construction, and have led to
some rather considerable purchases in shirtings suit
able to the India market. There has been some
business doing in long cloths for the Levant. The
Garman houses are still buying with caution, but
with more freedom than of late. The amount of
business for some weeks past has now fallen short of
the supply, and manufacturers begin to manifest
considerable anxiety not to increase their stocks iu
the present state of the cotton market; the conse
quence is, that we hear every market-day of an ad
ditional number of looms being suspended, and of
mills going up >n short time. The names of several
large firms were mentioned to-day who had taken
measures materially to lessen their production. The
future supply and price of cotton becomes more and
more a subject of anxiety to manufacturers.
CHARLESTON, March 28. Cotton.— There
was a moderately fair demand for this article at the
close of the preceding week, principally for shipment
to Liverpool, and the maiket exhibited a greater de
gree of firmness than had characterized the operations
for several successive days; and when we closed
our inquiries, preparatory to our report of the 21st,
Middling Fair was valued at 10j a 10f; and the
Fair and fully Fair qualities at 10| a 11c. Opera
tions were renewed with some degree of activity on
Friday last, which gave tone and animation to the
marict-t, and during the day upwards of 1600 bales
were sold, and the prices paid fully sustained tho
above quotations. The demand fell off materially
on Saturday, which ia to be attributed to the strin
gent terms demanded by holders, and the expressed
determination on the part of many to await the result
of liter European intelligence hourly expected. The
advices by the Franklin and Asia reached us on Sa
turday and Monday, which depressed the market,
and ultimately effected prices. During Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, whenever buyers entered
tho market, a contest would immediately spiitig up
fur the ascendency, which invariably resulted in their
favor—say to the extent of an | to |c., but allowing
at the same time a very unsettled market. Yester
day the trade seemed to come to a tacit understand
ing to wail the European advices ol the 15th, which
are about due, and operations may be said to have
been suspended. In the present position of affairs,
we find it impossible to arrange a list of prices, and
have therefore renewed thute given in our review of
the 21st inst., with the reinaik, however, that ander
existing circumstances, they must be considered al
together nominal. The sales of ths week reach 4307
bales, against the receipt in the corresponding time,
of 3414 bales. The actual transactions comprise 10
at 7|; 27 at 7|; 32 at 8; 31 at 8|; 2116 at gj; lUS

a ordinary to goed ordinary 9 a 9|; middling
to good middling 10 a 10|; middling fair 10j a 10j;
and fair and fully fair lU| a 1 lc. There has been a
good demand for Long Cotton during the week,
which has resulted in the sale of 600 a 700 bales.
Prices are about the same as previously reported, ’he
very common qualities, however, have been neglect
ed and prices for these sorts have been depressed.
Tho transactions have ranged 18 to 25c. for Inferior
to Common ; Common to Good S<tnteea and Mams,
from 25 to 29c.; Middling Fmo to Fine Sea Islands,
from o 0 to 35a. and upwards, for very fine and fancy
brands.
Rice. — Prices have been depressed, and at the
close of the week the market exhibited a decided
downward tendency. The transactions have been al
extremes ranging from 2f u>B3j per hundred pounds.
The bulk of the wiles wero made at prices within
the range of 2 15 Is(hs a $3 116th.
Cam. —There has been a material falling off in
the receipts of Corn, but the market is abundantly
supplied, which continues to depress prices. We
quote North Caroli ua 65 to 70c. as tn quality ; and
Maryland and Virginia from 65 to 68c.
Peat. — A small lot nfsoo bushels, received since
our last, have been stored. The last sale of any
magnitude was made at 7?o.
Hay.— The stock of North Riveris accumulating,
which continues to depress prices. Some 1000
bales have been sold—partly at auction and partly
at private sale —at prices ranging 97 j to 116 ; and
100 bales received this week, and sold subsequently,
brought 95c.
Flour. — The receipts are heavy, while the de
mand at the same time is limited, and tha transac
tions making show a tendency in prices in favor of
buyers.
Bacon.— There is a comparatively heavy supply
of Shoulders and Sides on rale, ana buyers taking
advantage of this circumstance, have offered lower
prices than holders were willing to accept, and hence
the stagnation, and their present nominal value,
may be quoted at 9c. for the former and 6| a 6fc.
for the latter.
Sait. — There is none afloat.
Bagging and Rope.— We have no transactions
to report.
Sugars.— The Sugar market continues in a most
languid and depressed slate. The supply is heavy,
and the trade generally are wed supplied, and to
effect sales to any amount, holders would be compel
led to submit to a low range of prices*
Coffee — Has been very much neglected this week.
Afc/uxsea. —The receipts of the week cemprise
156 hhds. and 37 tcs. Cuba ; and 37 hhds. Musco
vados. The former bad been sold prior to arrival,
on terms not made public. The market is largely
supplied with this description, and prices have a
downward leudeuey. We quote 20c. nominally, as
it is doubtful if a cargo would bring this price. The
Muscovado had not been sold when we closed our
report. There have been no arrivals of New Orleans,
which is nominally worth 31 a 32.; while small
store lots are being sold at 32 and 33c. per gallon.
Domestic L’quors. — There is a heavy supply on
hand, particularly of New Orleaus Whiskey, wh ch
has depressed the market, and prices have receded.
The only sale made was a lot of 150 bbls, at 25 j cts.
Received this week 1000 bbls.
Exchanges.— The market has undergone no
change this week. Checks on the North j prem.
Freight* — There his very little Cotton offer
ing on freight to Liverpool, which has depressed the
market, and the week, which opened at jd. for
square bags, closed at jJ., some comparative large
engagementshaving been made at this rate. There
is nothing up for Havre. We quote to New York
5-16, and to Boston |c. for Cotton.

Our last weekly report c owed with a quiet market.
There was a fair inquiry on Friday, tbe sales amount
ing to 1,231 bales ; on Saturday the market was dull
with sales of 507 bases. Early on Monday morn
ing, the telegraph announced the arrival of the steam
ship Frinklin, at New York from Havre; and dur
ing tbe forenoon, the arrival of tbe Arctic from Li
verpool was also announced. Tbe news brought by
these vessels was not considered favorable, aud but
41 bales changed bands on Monday; on Tuesday
prices were earner, tbe sales being S3l bales; on
Wednesday tbe sales were 1.061 bales, and yester
day but 231 bales. Prices have declined since
the Arctic arrived. There is only a light stock of
fering of aay quality, and but very little fine cotton.
The sales yesterday would probably bars been larger

INTERESTING TO COTTON PLANT-
ERS
SR. PARKHURST'S Patent Cotton Seed
• CLEANING MACHINE, constructed with
out Saws or Ribs.
The inventor of this Machine now has the plea
sure of answering the numerous inquiries from cot
ton planters, respecting the performances and results
of the Gin. It has been fully teste Iby cleaning the
entire crop of a large planter in this vicinity, (a cer
tificate from whom is appended,) enhancing the value
of the cotton one and a half to two cents per lb. over
that eleaned by any Saw Gin. This advanced price
more than pays for a machine in one year’s average
crop, the cost of it being only >250. It turns out
equally as much, or more, than any Saw Gin; is
more simple and durable, perfectly safe to theginner,
inasmuch as he cannot cut himself, and the great
danger of fire, by friction, in other machines, is en
tirely obviated.
Arrangements are completed, to build these Ma
chines in Columbia, for tbe State of South Carolina ;
and cotton planters desiring them, are respectfully
requested to send their orders to the subscriber, who
will supply the State, or to the Inventor, at Angusta,
Georgia, where one of the Gins may be seen in ope
ration, at W. H. Goodrich’s Steam Mill.
In other cotton growing States, arrangements are in
progress to build these Machines, in order that all
desiring them, may be furnished at the shortest pos
sible notice. Those sending orders, will please state
whether they desire to gin long or short staple cotton,
as a different construction is required for each kind.
The Vachines are warranted to give entire satisfac
tion to the planter. CHARLES BECK.
Columbia, S. C., March 1, 1851.
Copy es a certificate from Col. Wade Hampton,
dated at Millwood, Nov. 4, 1850.
Mr. Parkburst has been, for some weeks, at my
plantation, adapting his Cotton Gin, originally in
tended for long Cotton, to short staple. Tbe experi
ment has been entirely successful. He has one Gin
in operation, which will prepare four bales, of three
hundred and fifty pounds each, per day, and the
quality of the cotton is far better than I have ever
seen. By this process of cleaning cotton, the staple
is uninjured, whileail the motes and false seeds arc
almost ent rely separated from the lint. I deem this
discovery of vast importance to the country, and I
earnestly hope that Mr. Parkhurst may be rewarded
for it. W. Hampton.
S. R. Parkhurst, the inventor of the above, may
be found at the U. S Hotel, Augusta, Ga. mh22-wtf
TO COTTON PLANTERS.
SUBSCRIBERS would respectfully
inform the Cotton Planters of Georgia and
South Carolina, that they are manufacturing COT
TON GINS, which they warrant equal to any no<
made. They claim for their Gins several qualities,
in which they will be found to surpass most of the
highly praised improved Gins. They will be found
generally to run lighter, pick faster, and clean the
seed better ; also make as good lint as any other
Gins, To obtain these qualities n a Gin, should be
the aim of evary person using one. We use a self
oiling box, which renders the Gin completely fire
proof, and which is pronounced by competent judges
to be superior to any water box used in the State,
and of such construction as to be of great durability.
Purchasers allowed to gin from 8 to 10 bales, and
then inform us if there should be any defect, which
we will immediately remedy.
Contracts can be made with us by letter, directed
to this place, or with Mr. James Brantly our Travel
ling Agent. We would assure those wishing to pur
chase, whom Mr. Brantly may call on, that every
promise he may make in favor of our Gins, will be
fully complied with on our part.

EW-YO-RK~yj-
SANDS’ SARSAPARILLA
IN QUART BOTTLES,
FOR THE REMOVAL and permanent cure
of all Diseases arising from an impure state of
the Blood, or habit of the System.
Among the many and important discoveries of this
generation, is one whose tame will be written, as with
a sunbeam, in the history of the past. SANDS’ SAR
rtAPAKiLLA stand* forth alone and by its own works
proclaims its power—that mute eloquence so irresisti
bly affecting in the appeals of the suffering for relief,
has been answered, i housarms of cases of diseases
hive been cured by this invaluable medicine, such at
are not furnished in the records of time. 1 hese things
are not done in secret places, or in some unknown
town, but are performed in our principal cities and
public places. They are brought before the world to
substantiate, beyond doubt, the healing viitue* of this
preparation ; and the facts unfolded, although gigantic,
are as plain as the light ot day.
The Sarsaparilla is combined with the most effectu
al aids, the most salutary productions, the must potent
simples of the vegetable kingdom ; and its unprece
dented success in the restoration to health of those who
had long pined under the most distressing chronic ma
ladies, has given it an exalted character—furnishing,
as il does, evidence of its nwn intrinsic value, and re
commending it to the afilicied in terms the afflicted
only can know. It has long been a most important de
sideratum in the practice of medicine, to obtain a
remedy similar to this—one that would act on the
Liver, Stomach, and Dowels with ail the precision
and potency of mineral preparations, yet without any
of their deleterious effects upon the vital poweis of
the system. Although possessed of powerful heal
ing properties, it is entirely harmless, and will not
injure the most delicate constitution. When in per
fect health, no effect is produced by its use, except an
increase of appetite ; but when disease is seated in the
frame, and carrying fast it* victim along the path of
life, then its mysterious influence is felt and s«en ; it
enkindles new life and vigor, and brings health and
strength to the suffering and diseased.
SCROFULOUS AFFECTION OF THE EYES.
Winchester. Ky., Oct. 20,1849.
A. B <fc D. Sands—Gentlemen : 1 would not have
presumed to write to you if it was not my duty to let
the public know the almost miraculous effect your
Sarsaparilla has had upon me. My limbs were cover
ed with ulcerous sores so th it I could not walk during
the whole Sp ing and Summer. In this situation I
corrmencrd the use of your Sar.-aparilia, and aftet
taking two boltl«-s was entirely cured. I must also
tell you of another wonderful cure. A;y brother was
afflicted with this scrofula in his head, so had his phy
sician told him the loss of his sight was inevitable,
and permanent blindness seemed to be his fate, lh.ee
bottles entirely restoied his sight, and we cannot but
recommend all similarly afflicted to use sands’ Sarsa
parilla. Yours, truly, Benj. F. Buckner.
ITS POPULARITY ABROAD.
FROM SOUTH AMERICA.
Maracaibo. Venezuela,
Messrs. Sands.—Gentlemen ; 1 consider it a duty due
the public to make known the great benefit 1 have re
ceived from us ng your valuable Sarsaparilla. About
three years since 1 was attacked with Rheumatism jn
my shoulders, and also in mylegs, and so seve.e was
the pain, that 1 was unable to sleep I tried all of the
best medicines I could hear of without receiving any
benefit, until through the advice of a friend 1 procured
some of yout Sarsaparilla, and after using four bottles
in the course nf fifteen days, I found myself entirely
well. I have no hesitation in saying your F'arsaparil
la is the best medicine I ever took, and can confidently
recommend it to myfriends and the public.
Your obedient servant, J. M Jesurun.
Here is another, nearer home:
New Y'ork, Jan 8, 1860.
Messrs. Sands—Gentlemen : I have great pleasure in
acknowledging to you the great benefit I have receiv
ed from the use of your Sarsaparilla. A subject cf
pulmonary disease. 1 made a voyage to Europe, but
while there continued 'o be afflicted. A few weeks
after mv return, 1 was seized with a violent hemor
rhage of the lungs, andfrom the oebiiity and great pros
tration of strength that followed wi h the protracted
difficulty of respiration, lam entirely relieved by the
use of your Sarsaparilla, which I consider a most im
portant and truly valuable discovery in the healing
art. I feel that I have not for fourteen years enjoyed
so gond health as at present.
Very gratefully yours, S. E. Seymore.

I HAVE FOUND A BLESSING!!!
THE SUPERIOR OF QUININE AND
SARSAPARILLA.
THE GREATEST DISCOVERY’ OF THR AGE.
DR. I. T. HENDERSON’S EUREKA TONIC AND
NEPENTIJEAxv PILLS, a safe, certain and per-
nianenl antidote against all forms of the poisonous
effects of Miasmata; effecting speedy and permant
cures of
CHILLS AND FEVER,
and all the different varieties of Fevers ; torpid liver,
enlargement of :'■ e spleen, dyspepsia, dropsy. Jaundice,
and ail kinds of constitutional debility and derange
ment of the system, are speedily remedied by these in
valuable medicines. These valuable antidotal reme
dies were discovered by Dr. 1 T. Henderson, and have
been successfully tested by some of the best physicians
in the South and by thousands of other persons.
These medicines are wholly Vegetable, and are
harmless under any circumstances. Thenrmcipal in
gredients are entirely new remedies, used by no other
person in any form as a medicine.
In malarial diseases, they act as an antidote against
the poisonous effects of impure air, and require no
preceding preparation of the system, as they comprise
the Cathartic, Diaphoretic, (Sedative, and Tonic prin
ples; thus accomplishing a desideratum in the treat
ment of these diseases, long sought for before the dis-
I covery of these medicines.
All who have used Quinine, (the best remedy here
tofore known lor intermittent fever) must say that it
' is neither certain nor lasting in its effects.
5 Quinine, in many instances, from febrile excite
ment and gastralgia, and cephalic disturbances, is in
i admissable. But the Eureka Medicine can be used
under any circumstances or condition ot the system
where a tonic, purge, or diaphoretic is needed, with
: the happiest « fleets The tonic mildly acts on the
i bowels, carrying off the muco bilious matter collected
there ; collecting the action of the liver and spleen,
and assisting nature to throw olfthe impediments to a
r healthy action ot the body, by natural remedies, call
ing into action suspended natural Jaws; thereby re-
1 moving the causes and effects of diseases through the
natural channels of the body.
All that is asked tor these wonderful medicines is a
fair trial, which will satisfy all cf their unparalleled
virtues. Their fame is built upon their own efficacy,
and a comparison with all other remediesia challeng
ed. Physicians are requested to use the Eureka
Tonic and iXepenthean Pills, as they would any other
tonic, with any previous preparation ot the system
they please, and they will be convinced they aie the
superior of Quinine, and the whole catalogue of tonics
used as intermittent*.
Their ttst is admissable at any time, even when the
patient has the highest fever. For sick head-ache and
obstructed menstruation, they have no equal. For
particulars see tonic directions.
Also, Dr. I. T. Hbndbrson’s
EUREKA PURIFYING CATHARTIC PILLS,
for cleansing and purifying the constitution, and es
tablishing a heafty economy in all persons laooring
under any form ot constitutional derangement.
ALSO, Do. J. T. HENDERSON’S
OUACHITA VERMIFUGE.
the greatest blessing ever bestowed upon the infan
tile world, warranted to expel worms ot every kind,
and in every case, where they exist in the body.

to any other in use.
For man, it speedily cures Rheumatism, Gout,
Scrofula, Burns. Scalds, letter, and Ringworms,
Wens, Swellings, Rising-, Cuts, Sprains, and Bruises,
Old Ulcers, Scald-head, store Throat, Salivation, Sore
Mouth, Neuralgia, Pile#, Ground Itch, 4cc By taking
internally, it cures Colds, Coughs, Pneumonia, Croup,
Consumption, and Asthma. By dropping in the ear
and stopping it with a bit of wool, instantly cures Ear
Ache, and also Tooth Ache.
ALSO, Dr. I. T. HENDERSON’S
NERVE AND BONE LLNIMENT, OR
