The Galveston Civilian of the 7:h inst, thus
speaks of the crops:
Our last accounts from the interior embrace
no news of particular interest. Cotton pick
ing is going on with great animation and sue
cess. The season hrs proved remarkably fa
l vorable for picking, and the amounts reported
to be gathered daily by different hands are al
most incredible. Five, six, and in one case,
nearly 900 pounds of teed cotton are reported,
on good authority, to have been taken out in a
day by single hands. The crop is short, it is
true, but nearly all of it will be saved in the
very beet condition. The yield of the State
promises to exceed that of last year, from the
increased quantity of land in cultivation,
though the average product per acre will proba
bly be loss. One of our intelligent citizens
has just returned from a tour through the inte
rior counties, extending some 1500 miles by
the route traveled; and he informs us that he
every where raw the most substantial eviden
ces of comfort and prosperity among the peo
ple. The of the country is rapidly chang
tug. As an instance, we are told that there
is, at one place, a continuous fence and corn
fields for eight miles in extent along the road,
where four years ago the Indians held almost
sole possession.— N. O Pic.

Later from the Itlo Grande,
The steamship Yacht, Capt. Thompson, ar
rived this morning from the Rio Grande. She
brought *8,658 in specie on freight. By thia
arrival we have a copy of the Rio Bravo of tha
Bth inst., published at Brownsville. It appears
that the revolutionary forces aro again in mo
tion. The Rio Bravo says r
We hear, on the a;rival of a special courier
last night, that a detachment of the troops of
Col. Carvajal, two days ago, entered the city
of Reynosa, and demanded of ths Government
forces its immediate surren'er. After some
hesitation, the demand was compiled w ith, end
one cannon and a considerable supply of am
munition, provisions, and small arms, fell into
the hands of the victors. This was a bloodless
triumph, and shows conclus veiy that the peo
ple every where are in favor of this revolutionary
movement. The Government troops meet
with cold looks or hard knocks wherever they
turn.
At the latest moment the Rio Bravo
learned that Gen. Canales had arrived at Mata
moros with a considerable body of men. Gen.
Avalos went out to meet him, whether as friend
or foe is not yet known.
The Rio Bravo says:
We learn from a gentleman who arrived on
Monday evening, on the U. S. steamer Corvette,
that Col. Carvajal has received large reinforce
ments of efficient troops, and is now in a situa
tion to attack any point he may chouse to assail
with a perfect certainty of success. We may
look for further operations shortly. Gen. Ava
los is busily engaged in strengthening his forti
fications at Matamoros, and the city looks al
most as warlike as when Gen. Taylor entered it
in 1846.
The following circular instructions have been
sent to the officers of the customs at Browns
ville:
Ccstom-Hovse, Point Isabel, ?
Collector’s Office, Sept. 26. )
Sib—The recent reported revolution in the
neighboring Republic of Mexico, and the pro
bable con u ion which will arise in the business
and trade on the Rio Grande, impose upon the
officers of the customs of this collection district
additional most important and delicate duties.
In view, therefore, of the important events
which are now transpiring on the Rio Grande,
you aro hereby instructed to use imeased vigi
lance for the due protection of the revenue, and
to report all violations of the laws of the Uni
ted Slates, by steamers or in lividuals, forthwith
to this office.
You are especially requested and instructed to
discountenance and prevent, to the exeint of
your ability, any invasion ci tl e Republic of
Mexico, by armed expeiitions from the United
Slates, and to sustain the present Constituted
authorities cf that Republic.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.
John S. Rhea, Co lector.
Another circular ins'ruc s the officers at
Brownsville to promptly seize and detain all
vessels engaged in the transportation of men
an*' supplies, or arms and ammunition intended
for the revolutionists, or for the use of b dies of
men invading the Republic of Mexico from the
United States.
The Rio Bravo, in an article under the head
'• Who will lead.” says that Gov. Canales, acting
Governor of Tamaulipas, was marching on Ma
tamoros under pretext of putting down tha re
volution, but in fact to head it.
The Rio Bravo adds :
Should Canales become the head of this out
break, it will inspire every good man with dis
trust. He has been engaged in so many little
squabbles with the Federal Government, which
have all ended in his discomfiture and disgrace—
he has acted with so much perfidy, and want
both of honor and courge, that no sensible man
would put the least confidence in any thing un
der his control. His own countrymen cannot
he'p despising him—the Amer cans detest him
as one of the basest of mankind. His foul sac
rifice of the gallant Texians under Jordan is not
yet and never will be forgotten.

Revolution in Chile. — The French brig Marie
Louise, from Callao, arrived at Panama, on
the 2d inst. She reports that wheu she left, on
the 20th of Sept, the steamer Chili had just
arrived from Valparaiso, bringing information
that a revolution had broken out in Chili, and
that many of the troops had declared in favor
of Gen. Santa Cruz, for President; that
, Ccquimbo and other cities were in possession
of the now party, and that every thing through
out the republic was in a disorganized state
’ Gen Santa Cruz was the unsuccessful cau
’ didato for the presidency at the late election,
1 Sencr Don Moutt being chosen by ala ge
’ majority. The latter is a civillian, and it bains
’ the firs: time that the army candidate has bson
beaton, trouble was anticipated when it was
known that ha was elected. Thie anticipation,
it appears, has been more than realized.
From California. — By this arrival we have
San Francisco papers ol the 15th of Septem
ber. nine caye later than our previous advices.
The intelligence generally is not of the average
interest or importance. The Saa Francisco
Herald of the latest date, iu its summary pre
pared for the steamer, rays:
The leading event of interest, and one which
has been the chief topic of discussion in po
lities! cinicles during the past fortnight, is the
election of Stateaudcounty officers,which was
held <>n tho 3d inst. In this county, the Whigs
obtained an average majority of 095 for Stats
officers. For county officers the honors are
about equally divided. The returusfrom sev
eral of the frontier counties have not yet been
received, and there is still a doubt as to there
»ull for Governor. The vote is very close;
both parties claim tho victory, and the official
returus can alone decide the question. The
remainder of the Democratic State ticket, in
cluding Messrs. E C. Markle and McCorkle,
for Congress, ate elected. The Legislature
will be Democratic io both branches, and
will no doubt elec! a Democrat to the U. 8.
Senate immediately after organizing. Ths
voto throughout the State is small.
A most important step has beea taken by
the inhabitants of the Southern counties, de
sirous of dividing the state and forming a Ter
ritorial government for that portion. Two
addresses have been issued to secure concert
of ac ion, and a conven ion of delegates has
been called to assemble in Santa Barbara on
the third Monday in Oc ober. Delegates have
already boon appointed to atteud from Santa
Clara, San Diego, and other counties. All
the members of the Leg's'ature recently elect
ed from that section at the state are pledged
to urge a division of the ensuing session.
Crime has moat sensibly diminished through
out the slate, and no execution hts taken
place, either here or in the interior, siece the
sailing of tho last steamer. The Indians in
the southern part of the State are quiet; those
in the North, in Trinidad and Klamath coun
ties, are becoming somewhat troublesome.
The gold diggings continue to yield rich re
turns to the labors nf the miners. 3he auri
ferous q-iarz veins are being extensively
worked, ar.d generally wi’h great success.
The amount shipped by *he steamer Panama,
which leaves tc-day, $1,700,000, exhibits no
falling oil in the production of gold in our
state. In the dry diggings, miners are on'y
waring for the rainy season, to take out large
amounts of gold.
San Francisco has recovered from the two
great confl igra'.iuns cf May and June, and has
been rebuilt in far better style than before
Numerous fireproof brick and s.one buildings
have been erec ed. and many others have been
commenced. Altogether, the condition of af
fairs in our state is highly sa isfas ory.

With the exception of these tribes, all the
Indians South of Pitt river have agreed to tho

the stipulations, and if not molested five no
further trouble to ths whites Dr W. thinks
that before tse expiration of the year. th»r > will
be as many os 80.000 Indians upon the reser

already commenced their occupation.
With a party of dragoons tho commissioner
penetrated the country North of tbs Pitt Rivar
aecompained by a number cf friendly Indians,
bat the savages of that d.strict tied at their
approach like antelopes. He then ro'urusd
and camped nn a small creek emptying
into Pitt R ver, and aubsequenily with
Lieut. Wright, who accompanied the ex
pediion as a volun eer, and a amah party of
men, made a rapid march np the eresk and
came upon a large parly of Indiars. A few
shots ware tired and the Indians fled. Lieut.
W. was hit with an arrow, but very slightly in
jured. Foar Indians were taken prisoners
and conveyed to camp, but they anbsoquently
escaped.
The first reservation made by Dr. Wozen

ed on the North by that stream. The second
reservation is on Feather River, and conaiata of
a narrow strip of land about aix miles broad
by twenty in length, and upon which there are
now the representatives of twenty two different
tribes.
The third reservation is on the Sacramento
rivar, to the north of Hutter’s claim, extending
back about three miles, and up the river fifteen

I Hi. Lawbsrcb is Ibslako.—Hon. Abbott
; Lawrence was still in Ireland, at thelastdates,
I meeting everywhere the most cordial greeting.
) The London Times is not Hind to the cordiality
of the American Minister’s reception, and in an
> article in the issue of September 30, holds tho
following language :
1 A certain little poem relates how a certain
1 personage one day took a w alk to see how his
snug little farm, the earth, went on. Though it is
unnecessary to travel so far for a precedent or a
justification of the tour which the American
Minister is making in Ireland, there is one point
in common between the two visits—viz t that
Ireland to all practical purposes, belongs to that
power whose Minister it is now entertaining.
Mr. Abbott Lawrence gives way to a very natu
ral instinct when he makes a pilgrimage to the
hearths and the altars that teed the population
of tho United States. The American who
stands on the quays at New York, sees a vast
human tide pouring in at the rate ofa thousand
a day, to swell the numbers, the wealth, and tho
power of his country. Ho sees that it was the
direst necessity which drove them from tho land
of their fathers, and he recognizes in that neces
sity tho providential means by which the vast
continent of North America shall be added to the
dominion of men. lie hears tha sad tale of the
ininigrants, and secs it too generally confiitued
by their miserable aspect.
Hisown political sympathies will naturally be
with the supposed victims of tyrannical laws
and ariitocratic extortion. On further acquain
tance with these hapless refugees, his interest
cannot but increase, for he finds affectionate and
hopeful, genial and witty, industrious and inde
pendent—in fact, the rude elements of which
great nations are made. Hence the desire to
see that strange region of the earth where such
a people was produced and could not stay—an
island, the misfortunes of which are destined to
fstni so couspicous a feature in American atory.
The terrible incidents of tho last six years—not
to go further back—will be the domestic traditions
of half llw American people, and the dreadful
scenes of fever and ol famine which have so
often shocked our readers, will pass from father
to son for many generations on the banks of the
Mississippi, or the shores of the Pacific. It is
this nursery of American citizens, this seed plot
of transatlantic States, this great human pre
serve, that Mr. Lawrence is now exploring, as
we think, with as natural a curiosity as if he had
sought, with the crowd, the ancient seats of
science and art, and were measuring the acropo
lis of Athens, or the forum of Rome.
His Excellency has too much respect for this
country, and too just a sense of his position,
to let the Irish see how an American cannot but
regard them. He knows very well that they are
all his own fellow citizens in embryo, and that
every Gelt will one day renounce the sceptres
and coronets of the older world, It is better
for all parties, perhaps, that it should be so, little
as ws may like to seo our society, our laws, and
our soverign, the object of worse than indiffer
ence. Mr. Abbott Lawrence says nothing ol all
Shis. The Irish flick to an American Minister
aa to an angel from Hoavcn, for if he is curious
to see the place the Irish come front, they are
equal y curious to see a man from A merlca —the
goal of all their hopes and expectations. They
have set their face towards America, and as men
on a march seo chiefly those who are before
them, on tho spot which they will the next mo
ment tread themselves, so the New World is
every year more vivid, and the Old World more
faint, In the Irish imagination. Hence it is that
Mr. Lawrence finds himself received with almost
the honors of royalty. Railway directors and
corporaions give him special trains, banquets,
and addresses, and every city prepares an ova
tion. • » • » •
It is scarcely possible to suppose Mr. Abbott
Lawrence blind to what passes before his eyes,
and wo can only admire the dexterous politeness
with which he expresses his sympathy and his
hopes for the Irish, with scarce a hint at their
flight from the land of their fathers to the coun
try of which ho is the representative.
We have ourselves (remarks the Commercial
Advertiser) admired the adroitness with which
our Minister has responded to tho many compli
mentary demonstrations made on his account.
He has indeed ahown consummate tact and
skill, and he deserves all the commendations the
Times bestows upon him. But the Times is not
frank nor honest in the article, a portion of
which we have quoted, or it would have assigned
another reason why tho Irish people so joyfully
wclc?med the American Minister —it would have
mentioned the unbounded benevolence of Amer
can people when Ireland perished of hunger, and
the gratitude of the Irish people for America's
prompt and munificent aid.
The New York Commercial has been shown
a complete list of the dry goods houses which
have failed or asked aid from their creditors in
New York, Philadelphia. Baltimore and Bos
ton, since the Ist of July la-t. The whole
number it only fourteen. This affords strong
evidence of the general strength of this
class of our merchants.
The True Friesds or the Cov.vtrt.—
We find in the Albany Express the names of
more than five thousand cit’zens of the city of
New York who pledge themselves that at the
ensuing election they will support no candi

or believed to be hostile to tbe peace measures

solid platform, upon which may unite ad the
friends of the Const tutioo, of whatever party,
throughout the country. — Nat. Intel.

As Emerald Muse. —The Overland Chroa
icle contains the following account of an
emerald mine in Egypt : ‘lt appears that tho
existence of an emerald mine on Mount Za
barab. situate on an isle in tbe Red Bea, bee
long been known. It had been worked by
the Pacha of Egypt, but the operations had
been stopped in the latter years of the reign
of Mehemet Ali. A short time ago an English
company obtaiaed permission to earry on tho
digging, which promises to yield them im
mense wealth. Recently their engineer dis
covered at a great depth traces of a great
gallery, bearing about it evidence of extreme
antiquity. Here ha found ancient instruments
and utensils, and a stone with hieroglyphic
inscription on it in a great measure destroyed.
It appears that in his time Belzoni had given
it as his opinion that this mine had been work
ed by the ancient Egyptians,and this discovery
establishes the soundness of hie remark. The
configurator the gallery, and the nature ard
shape of the tools found in it, it is said, ex
hibit great skill in tho art of enginee-ing.
From the inscription on the stone, so far as it
can be read, it is believed that the laboring in
the mi no ot Zsbarah had commenced in the
reign of the great Sesoatris, (living about
1650 before Christ,) whom antiquity describes
aa combining tho character of a conqueror
with that ofa prince of vast enterprise in tbe
arts of peace.

Anecdote or Labv Washisotow.—ln con
versing, not long since, with an aged lady of
Mortis County, I obtained an anecdote concern
ing Lady Washington, so entertaining and ad
mirable, that I am induced to publish It.
There was residing in Morris County, a Mrs.
Troupe, the widow of a half-pay British captain.
She was a freqent visitor at ths house of Mrs.
T-, and on one of these occasions, I etfore she
had passed the usual compliments, she exclaim
ed, —
“ Well, what do you think, Mrs. T. t—l have
been to see Lady Washington!"
Have you indeed I” said her f riend. “ Then
tell me all about how you found her ladyahi”,
how she appeared, and what she said,"
“ Well,! will honestly tell you," replied Mrs.
Troupe, “ that 1 never was so ashamed in all the
days of my life. You see, Madam, and
Madam , and Madam and myself,
thought we would visit Lady Washington, and
as She was said to bo so grand a lady, we
thought we must put on our beat bibs and bands
So we dressed ourselves in our moat elegant
ruffles and silks, and were introduced to her la
dyship. And don’t you think we found her
knitting with a r peek led (check) apron on! She
received us very giaciously and easily, but altar
the compliments were oxnn—rtSutiied her
knitting. There we wete, without* stitch of
work and tilling in etale, but General Washing
ton’s lady, with her own hands, was knitting
stockings for her husband ani herself. And
that was not all. In the course of the afternoon
she took accasion to say, in a manner that we
could not be offended at, that at thia timeit was
very important that Ametlcan ladies should be
patterns of industry to their country women,
because the separation from tho mother country
will dry up the sources whence many of our
comforts are derived. Wc must become inde
pendent by our determination to do without
what we cannot make tor missives. While our
husbanla and brothers ate examples of patrio
tism, we should be patterns of industry.**
Electro Maonbtic Pbistiro Paxes.—An
ingenious printer of Illinois, Mr. F. A. C. Fore
man, has recently invented an Electro-Magnetic
Printing Press, which is highly spoken of by
those who have examined it. The Vincennes,
Ind., Gazette, speaking of this Invention, says—
A contemporary who saw it at work, says It
threw oil impressions with the rapidity of light
ning. His paper works upon a reel, and Is con
tinuous, liko a telegraph coil. The paper ia car
ried over the typo on a cylinder, and when one
side is worked, the paper is reversed, and the
other printed with a most perfect register, and
ts they come from the press, the sheets are clip
ped apart by an ingenious contrivance. The
speed of this press is almost unlimited and its
exactness is bevond anything in this line of ma
chinery. Mr. F. estlma'es the cost of the lar
gest sized printing press at no more than five
tundred dollars.

Tmb Lombok Exhibition. —A letter from
Edward Riddle, Esq., the Amor'can Commis
sioner, has the following items under date of
London, Sept. 26.
Os the articles added to our department since
my last letter, most honorable notice has been
taken by the daily journals. Indeed, for the last
four weeks thete has been an erident effort on
the part of the leading papers, and of the Times
especially, to treat our part of the Exhibition
with marked consideration, noticing in full, not
only the contributions recently added, but what
ever of merit and ingenuity was observed
among our heretofore much abused productions.
It is not the quality of our race on either side
of the Atlantic to be overstocked with humility.
When we were best abused, we were not in
clined to cultivate any extraordinary amount of
self-abasement. And now that we arc most
indiscriminately praised, whatever may be the
motives of our encomiasts, I very much doubt
the salutary effect which will be produced upon
us, abroad or at home.
Among our new contributions no single one
has excited more attention, or been received
with more favor, than the Maynard lock and
primer, of which I have spoken before. I took
occasion to show its operation to one of the
editors of the Time’, who was so struck with
its ingenuity, simplicity, efficiency, and reduc
tion of cost, that it was immediately noticed in
that paper, and as a consequence in many others.
Through the influence of Col. Reid 1 succeeded
in calling the attention of the Government to its
merits, and it is now at the Board of Ordanco
Department, awaiting the meeting of the com
mittee on smell arms to tost its practicability.
The gold plate just sent from the house of
Mess. Ball, Thompkins & Black, ot New Vork,
and during the last week only exhibited, has ex
cited much attention from its tasteful design,
accomplished workmanship, and above all, ex
traordisary auriferous coler. This service of
date,a present from the Mayor and others of
Sew York, toE. K. Collins, Esq , is said to be
twsnty-three carats fine—a most unusual maxi
mum lor beating gold, and accounted for by the
superior malleability of the California metal.
Mr. Bigelow, of Boston, has given us an im
portant accession of strength in the shape of
some specimens cf Brussels carpet, woven upon
lower looms. Although various attempts have
seen made to adapt the power loom to carpet
weaving in England, thete has never been any
machine perfected for that object. Tns loom
upon which there carpets were woven has been
some time in use, and upwards of eight hundred
hands are now employed in their manufacture.
Each loom requires theat'endance o'.lv of one
girl, which, in the ordinary mode of carpet
weaving by hand, a weaver is required io addi
llyn to IRQ th er to draw li ia-canabU.. produ
cing four times the quantity in the same space
of lime as could be woven upon the hand loom.
As many colors can be used in weaving as in the
ordinary Brussels carpet, ar:d the specimens
show an even, regular thread, tar surpassing the
productions of the hand loom.
By the decision of the Executive Committee,
I was obliged to forego the satisfaction of exhib
iting that meritorious specimen of art, the apoth
eosis of Washington, which was received among
our recent contributions. I greatly regret this,
but it was not to be avoided. Indeed it was not
until the picture was unpacked, stretched, and
framed, that 1 learned the Executive Committee
feared dissatisfaction would be given by its ex
hibition to other foreigners who had been pre
cluded from the same privilege. lam happy in
being able to say, however, that it has been seen
and appreciated by tome of the connoisseurs in
the fine arts in London.
Mr. Ashcroft’s invention for preventing steam
b oiler explosions has attracted much not.ee
from engineers and other practical scientific men
here. '1 he experiments he is making have satis
factorily settled tho correct application of the
principle ho claims. Orders have been given for
its introduction into several new steamers now
fitting for sea.
Among tho members of the Jury upon musi
cal, instruments was M. Thalberg, the unrivalled
pianist, whose compositions have given him pre
eminent renown all over the world. 1 feel under
personal obligations to him for the fairness with
which he insisted that every one of onr instru
ments, especially piano fortes, should be tried.
In the violins of Gcmunder also, he was of most
special service to us, trying each one himself,
and returning once and arain to pass upon the
merit of aCremoni. with which he was greatly
delighted. Should Thalberg carry out his inten
tion of visiting the United States another year,
our citizens will have an opportunity of enjoying
a feast In music to which they have rarely been
treated.
To the movln* machinery department of the
Exhibition, where from the beginning our show
has been of the smallest, there has recently
been added from one of our Western States, by
a Western nan, one of the most ingenious ma
chines in the World ; I refer to the stave ma
chine of Mr. Wells, of Milwaukie. This very
complicated but effective piece of machinery ac
complishes the work of six men, taking the
timber from block and producing staves of the
requisite size and shape far more perfectly than
they are ever mads by hand. It is exciting
much interest among those who daily visit that
part of the Exhibition.
Ice Housss.—TWr Editor t Will you or some
one of yoxir numerous subscribers be kind encugh to
inform me through the columns of your valuable
journal, the best and cheapest method cf building a
small Zee House, suitable for two or more families
during the hot weather that we usually enjoy here
among the hills of Vermont? Whether there ought to
be a tight floor, and if so, whether the floor should
be elevs ted much above ground? —alse, whether there
should be a hole for ventilation, one or morel
By answering the above you will greatly oblige
Yoors, Ctbus Hill.
Williamsville, Newfane, Vt., Sept. 27.
Ice houses are now built above ground. The o’d
method of sinking them low in tho earth is not good,
for the earth in winter is warmer than the air vnd
melts the ice more.
A floor ought to cover the bottom of the house, and
straw ought to be placed on the floor, for no part of
the ice should come in contact with the earth.
A hole tor ventilation is now urually made in the
top. The sides should be shielded with tan bark or
someth.ng of that nature, and this is done by filling
in the bark between the cutside boarding and the
ceiling.
It is well to have several families concerned in one
ice house, for if they live near each other they can
all be accommodated, as the house m-.y te opened
in the morning for all and then closed for the day.—

, AUGUSTA MARKET
Weekly Report .Tvbsdat, P- Mj
COTTON.—The market during the early part of
the week closed to-day, was in quite a depressed
condition, and prices very low, with little or no de
mand. In this stato it continued* throughout Wed
nesday, Thursday and Friday. Saturday there was
a better feeling apparent, and yesterday the appear
ance of a few buyers with northern orders gave quite
an animated tone to ths market, and prices rallied a
shade. To-day the prices cf yesterday hove been
sustained, and a moderite business transacted. Wo
quote Middling Fair 7f, and Fair 7| cents, at which
the market closes steady without animation.
REMARKS. —The depression in the Cotton mar
ket and the heavy decline in prices for the last few
weeks, have not been without an effect upon the
I general business, all of which has felt its influence
' to a greater or less extent, and but a moderate busi
ness has engaged dealers.
GROCERIES.—Jn the leading articles of Groce
ries, Sugar, Coffee, Molasses, Salt, &c., we have no '
change to note in prices, tbcughjin some, in conse
quence of the continued low state of the river, the
stocks are becoming light. Thia is true of Sult and
Cuba Molasses, yet the supply is equal to the de
mand. Our quotaticns will afford a fair index of lha
prices of all leading articles.
BAGGING AND ROPE.—The demand for these
articles is limited to the contracted notions of planters,
as to the extent of their crops, hence the trad j in Bag
ging and Rope is only moderate. Prices are with
out change, and holders are very willing sellers.
GRAIN.—The introduction of the new crop has
reduced the price of Corn and we now quote 75 a
65cts. Wheat continues to command 81,CO to s>l/25,
according to q uality. The latter rate only for a
very choice artiole of white. There is some Rye in
the market, which commands SI,OO. (
EXCHANGE —Checks on the North command
| per cent, premium.
FREIGHTS —The River confnues very lew
but the rates for fre : ght hrve undergone no change.
LIVERPOOL. Oct. 3. — State of Trade.— A fair
business continues to be cairicd on in Manchester,
particularly for the home trade. The advices from
Bombay, just received, are considered favorable, but
not so from Calcutta.
Money Market. — Theie is no change in the value
of money, which is obtainable on moderate terms.
Consols have further advanced from 96f to {.
Cotton Market. — Throughout the week the trade
have bought very sparingly, but a fair export de
mand has given some steadiness; still prices have
rather given way, and middling qualities are near
id lower, while ordinary and inferior are much ne
glected. The sales of the week are 33,689 bales,
including 7,850 bales for export, and 2,900 an f pec
ulation. The sales to day are 5,000 bales without
change. We quote Fair Orleans 5| to6d; raddling
sd. Fair MobilesSJd ; middling 4J I.; Fair Up
lands, s|d; middling 4;d.
Corn Market, — There has been a somewhat im
proved tone to our Corn trade during the week, and
a fair amount of business has been done in Wheat
end Flour at rather fuller prices. Indian Corn is
without change.
Wo had a good demand far Wheat and Flour at
market tc-day. Wheats generally are Id. per 70
lbs. and Flour 6d. to Is. per bbl. dearer tian last
week —A. Dennistoun 4* Co.
HAVRE, Oct. 2.—Onr Cotton market has re
lapsed into a very dull state. Yesterday the sales
wcis 700 bales, of which only 400 in American
descriptions. To day ths sa’es amount to 900 bales,

Cotton, as holders are generally desiross to realise.

OBITUARY.
Died, io Tcskaloosa, Ala., on the 24tb of Sept.,
Hon. Arthur Foster.
Judge Fo-tcr was born and reared in Columbia
county, Ga., from which ho emigrated about 18
years since. He was, for several years, one of the
Judges of the Inferior Court ’n Columbia county,
and represented that county in the Legislature seve
ral years. He also compiled the Laws of the Steta
of Georgia. A J a man, he was amiable and courte
ous in all his deportment; as a CLrict an, devoted
and exemplary; as a Friend, warm and devote’.
He has left a family' and large circle of friends to
mourn hie less. But ’’their loss is bis eternal gain.’
At his residence in Edgefield District. S. C , on
the 13th inst. Capt. William Garrett, in the
eightieth year of his age.
At Walnut Grove, his late residence, in Newton
county, on the llth inst., Elder Joel Collet, of
th? Primitive order of Baptists, in the seventy-fifth
year of his age.
At Ddhlonega. Lumpkin c unfy, Ga., on the 12th
inst., Thomas E. Burnsides, a native of C olumbia
county, but for the Inert four years a resident of the
former place.
Departed thia life, October sth, at the residence of
Mrs. A. D. Williams, Rev. C. B. Jennett, aged
27 years.
Uur »:ear friend was the subject of religious im
pressions from Lis earliest childhood professed
Christ at 14, preached his first sermon at 17, and,
after enjoying the advantages of a regular education,
(being a graduate of Columbia College, I). C.) aa-
Fumed the pastoral office at the age of 21, in his na
tive county, Hakfax, Va. Hie early and uncommon
promise scon spread through the surrounding coun
try. He was invited, in January, 1846, to visit the
Market Street Baptist Church, of this place—at the
expiration of a few weeks he was unanimously called
to i s pastoregc, al! the duties of which he faithfully
andconscien’iously discharged until his resignation,
in June, 1849. During this time the Church had in
creased in num* ers one third, and I er standing had
been greatly e’evated in the community. After sup
plying the pulpit of the first B-otist Church in h icb
mood, Va., for six months, be received and accepted
a call to the church in Augusta. Ga., which position
be occupied at the time of hie death.
During his annual visit to tie friends in Virginia,
ths see-s cf disease were rapidly developed, and, be
fore his friends were aware of bis danger, he had
ceased from among men. There arc mere facts; but
what of the character—the inner sanctuary 7 Here
the pen falters and the heart overflows with tender
est recollections. His was indeed a character of beau
tiful proportions —Gentle and kind as an infant, yet
firm and unswerving in the r ght, he towed to no
thing bnt the majesty cf truth, and used no means to
accomplish any end but those justified by the highest
integrity. He knew no artifice—he only knew wbat
was right, and did it; cr if (as human) he erred in
judgment, his ear waa ever ojen to the reasoning of
friendship. Slightly reserved in hia manner, his at
tachments were gradually farmed —everafter,he was
the warm, ardent, enthusiastic friend, ready to sym
pathize both in sorrow and in joy. But the great
end and object cf his life was to do good thus to
fol’ow Chriat. Ths writer has often heard him say,
while expcstulat.ng with him on bis imprudent labor
—“ let me rather wear out thin rust out—l would
do my work quick'y. with all my might, and go heme
to rest.” Indeed this was Lis prevailing wish —to ac
complish a great deal in a short time, and enter early
into his reward. The pulpit was his own appropri
ate sphere, Here ail bodily ills were forgotten, and
he warmed and glowed with hit subject. Beth
preacher and hearer were carried out of themselves,
and seemed for a while co breathe a purer, holier
atmosphere Macy, many can testify to the power
acd charm of tba'. seraphicehquence which first won
item to think on eternal th ngs. In his pastoral vis
its, his care was particularly manifested for the lowly
and the suffering. In their hearts, there are monu
ments to his memory. Bat we must pause, and leave
to abler pens the tatk of portraying a character at
once so cot-ie and co pure. We are bereft indeed.
Friend of my heart, farewell - we can but weep with
that !on»ly mourner, who best knew and most keenly
feels his loss. Her prop has been removed —weak
and defenceless, she trembles beneath the blast—this
earth baa for her no other hop* nor joy. But look
—Gcd ia thy friend—and he, tby hut-band, who so
willingly and peacefully yielded up his spirit, (thus
falling asleep in Jesus,) beckons thee on to higher
Lopes and joys. His end was perfect peace—his
heart was staid on Gcd. Todtis aged p«rents, severe,
ndeed. wi'l be the iheck—while the large and influ
ential church, ever which he presided, who fully ap
preciated the worth r.nd talents of oar dear friend,
will stare largely in the general sorrow,

I contracted a Cold and Cough, which fioaUy be
came settldd on my Lunge, and in a short time be
came so severe that I despaired and gave up all
hope of recovery. The best medical aid was em
ployed, and various Patent medicines used with but
temporary relief. Seeing the certificates of gentle
men whom I know, who bad been cared by your
Pectoral Elixir, I sent fcr three bottles, and before
finishing the third one my cough left me. I have
gained flesh and strength, and now feel robust and
hearty.
I send you this, hoping you will ms kc it public, so
that the afflicted may know where to procure relief.
Please send me a half dezen more battles, as I do
not wish to be without it. Yours, respectfully,
