A Pnirisrcb—lntrodncilon of the Colton Gin.
The following highly interesting communication
from the Hon. GaUM-TT Amikxws, to the Southern
CaliimUr, presents some facts connected with the
early liistory oftho cotton gin in Georgia, that can
not full to be interesting:
Meetrt. EdUore-CxAl-n liaving become of such
va-t importance, not only to the producers, but to
the world, everything relating to its history is of
interest. Therefore, lam induced to give a little
inf..nnation 1 lately obtained of the great staple.
1 roJe, a few (lays since, six miles 1.e.0w tbit
place, to sec my old friend Tho*. Tal'uot, and his
kitchen and barn. Mr. Tails.t is eighty-three
years old, ill full possession of his faculties and i«
living where heiettled siry-twoyears ago. W...t
--ney, the I»—entor of the cotton gin, settle I a plan
tation adjoining him, ori which he p aceu one ol
his gins, the first ibet was used in VVilkaa county;
perhaps the first in the State. He am! bis partner,
Durkee, erected a gin house an<j a large cotton
house—the latter to bold the cotton they expected
to receive from customers to gin. The gin house
was grated, so (list visitors might look through nt.d
soc the cotton firing trom, without seeing the g’.u.
lie suffered women to go in the gin liou-o to x e
the machinery, not apprehending that they oonlil
betray his sc’.-ret to builders. Lyon, who lived
some eight or ten mile." above this place, bv dress
ing himself in women's clothes, procured admit
tance, and came out and made his improvement,
the saw gin. Mr. Talbot say's that Billy MeFer
ran, a little Irish blacksmith, who died a tew years
ago in this county, made the saws, the first that
ever were made. Durkee, Whitney's pa-luer, be
ing dissipated and inattentive to business, lie sold
out his place, and the gin and cotton house coming
into the possession of Mr. Talbot, tic moved them
to tins pla c . The former is r.ow his kitchen, and
stil! lias it: long gratedwindows, as in the time of
Wlf the.. The cotton house makes a large and
'- unodious barn. Mr. Talbot says that Allison,
or Ellison, who had been connected with Whitney
in hnsiness, told him that the latter got his first
idea of the invention from a gin used to prepare
rags for making paper, and which he saw on a
wrecked vessel.
On the place sold by Whitney, was erected, in
1811, a cotton factory, and, I presume, the first in
the State. The prime mover in the enterprise was
a Mr. Bolton, of Savannah, u merchant, who spent
his summers, then, in Washington. Mr. Talbot
bad four shared. The factory had one hundred
and sixty spindle*, cost >I7OO, and made 50 yards
of cloth a day, which sold from fifty cents to one
dollar per yard. The weaving was done by hand
lonni weavers, who were obtained from Long Cane,
in South Carolina. The factory p.roved an unpro
fitable affair.
In this connection, in may be interesting to say,
that during tho war of 1812, cotton was hauled
from this country to Baltimore and Philadelphia,
and the wagons loaded back again with goods.
Wagoners are now living in the country who used
to drive the teams engaged in tins service.
I cannot close this communication without a
word about my aged and highly respectable friend,
in his character of planter. Koine of the land now
in cultivation by Mr. Talbot, was old when three
fourthsof Georgia was in possession ofthe Indians.
Originally of a strong soil, as Wilkes county gene
rally was, Mr. Talbot, by paying some attention to
improvement, has not only’ preserved but much
improved some of his old lands. But that to which
1 wish particularly to direct attention, is his regret
that he hud not commenced hill-aide ditching long
ago, before tho creeks and branches had carried
off’ the best of his soil. Tho walnut, locust and
other sliudc trees in his yard, planted with his own
hands, have the appearance of aged trees. His
servants, some as old, or older than himself, with
their generations of children, grand-children, and
I do not know how far to go in the great-grand
children, give to the white-headed citizen the ap
pearance of a patriarch ut tiio head of his tribe,
lie has had born ori his place one bunded and nine
children, but has kept no record of deaths.

Our Foreign Relations.
! The issue of the pending Presidential election,
j says the Baltimore American, has been placed by
our adversaries so pointedly and emphatically upon
the grounds of our foreign relations that it would
be absurd in the extreme to doubt or to question
their meaning in that regard. The Democratic
Review for October, which seems to have the task
of systematizing the vaguo tendeueics of Democra
cy in general, and telling the Democratic masses
what they moan when they are unconscious them
selves of any meaning whatever, has devoted some
pages to the task of enlightening the public on
the great subject of “progress” and international
law concerning which latter it has certain ideas of its
own. For example—after giving a sort of pro
gramme of principles which it holds to bo exqui
sitely Democratic, it concludes the series with the
following avowal to which we subjoin the accompa
nying comments:
“And, lastly, taking our just stand, as the great
Republic, and the most enduring and powerful na
tion, a rigid maintenance of the common law of
the world, without which no nation can exist,
that no ‘Government’ shall intcrefero whether
pledged by treaty or otherwise, in the private af
fairs of another nation whose ‘Government’ and
people may be at variance.”
“To sustain these principles it may become ne
cessary for the Senate to define, by declaratory re
solutions, whut this Democracy understands by the
term “ Ity the Imw of A'ationsf But, until that be
done, the Fxecutive must not be bound by this or
that foreign interpretation of a term which each
monarchy or despotism twists about it as it pleases,
hitherto with perfect impunity, to prove ueiuim
it has fabricated, dr justify a crime it bus already
committed. By the Executive or by the Senate, or
by both, we must form and maintain an American
and Republican aud Democratic Law of Nations
based, not on this treaty or t'other one, on a supple
mentary note or secret protocol, but on the immu
table principles of right againstthu mutable pre
tensions of wrong.”
“ That this question of our foreign relations will
be the great question, to the solution of which the
Ailm. /listration gs /'rank Pierce must necessarily de
vote the highest intellect and most assiduous energy
of the tuition, will he nuuio more plain by survey
ing the present attitude of the democracies and
monarchies, the necessary fato of oontigious terri
tories, and the wilful neglect of imbecile tergiver
sation of tho Whig Executive.”
Uero we liavo, continues the American, a gener
al declaration of war, or of something like it,
against tlio whole civilized world, uuless they will
understand the law of nations according to our
construction of it. Fuss in boots was nothing to
our stately uttitude, as defined by Democratic au
thority. Jack the Giant Killer, must stand abash
ed in our grand presence. Like his namesake, he
may climb his own boan stalk and get out of the
way as soon as lie can.
But iu serious earnestness wo call upon the
Country to look at tho portents of the times. War,
war, is the outcry—war for its own sake as an en
trancing excitement, and as calculated to furnish
the most available sort of popularity. The Demo
cracy are sadly off for heroes—they have tried to
make one out of Mr. Piorco of Now Hampshire.
Tho experiment, has not succeeded very well, and
another war is in their estimation absolutely ne
cessary to enable them to liavo a boro who will be
presentable.
The lTilted beaten nnd (tuba.
Tho New York JUxpress publishes the following
telegraphic despatch from Washington, which we
give for whut it is worth :
Tho Government is informed that there aro en
rolled in New York ‘.1,000 men and boys for a new
foray upon Cuba, whoso haunts ure well known
ami places of rendezvous, and ot whose movements
sud intentions the Goveannient is well iuformed.
Dispatches have gone on from this city to the of
ficers of the Government in New York, for a com
plete and effectual execution of the neutrality luws,
and for obedience to all our treaty obligations, and
to tlie luw of nations. The oolloclorof theportand
the linitod States District Attorney must have
such despathes by mail to-tuorrow morning. The
movements of our United Stales ship-of-war in
New York have reference to the execution of our
own law. as well as tho enforcement of treaties
with Cuba. Tho President will do his duty, and
his wliolo duty, inflexibly-—just as ho did bo tore—
without ftmr or favor. Tho United States army
and navy forces iu New York will probably bo put
under the order of the U. S. District Attorney, if
they are deemed necessary for the enforcement of
our laws, Yours, M.
Postscript. —The owners of the Crescent City, it
is certain, will not remove Purser Smith, and the
Government will not permit the mails to be inter
fered with. The owners have made representations
to the Government, showing that this is not the
first time the Cuban authorities have interfered
with them wrongfully. The Lobes quarrel is un
changed. The Peruvian Minister has made no
concessions.
We dip horn the Atlanta Intelligencer, of the
14th iust., the following strange but true account
of a curiosity which visited that place a few days
ago:
What Next I—The days of wonders have not
yet pussed. On Monday morning lust, a singular
and mysterious incident turned up in the Council
Chamber. For several days a barrel con'nining
something wrapped in coarse sack-cloth had been
observed standing iu tho corner of ilia room—no
one knowing from whence it came or how it got
there. On Monday morning, however, an ex
amination was niaiio aud its contents brought to
light. Within the clovli was a large covered tin
vessel, carefully w rapped at the top with a hand
kerchief, aud containing the body of a child with
two well formed heads, two necks, and three legs,
all joined to one body. The heart and lungs bad
been out out. The child if alive and entire, would
weigh about sixteen or seventeen pounds. We
stepped into the Council Chamber shortly alter the
discovery was made, and a more wonderful spec -
men of tho “ genus homo” we have never beheld.
Where this singular monstrosity came from re
mains a mystery. _
Ax Immense Work. —We see by the Cincinnati
papers that their great tunnel is advertised for
letting. The hills on the north side of the city
rise about two hundred feet above the upper plain
of the town, obstructing, except in ouo direction,
the free access of railways to the upper part of tlit
town. A company has been formed to tunnel the
hill tor the benefit of the railways approaching from
the Ohio side, aud doubtless will be immensely
useful. Tliis tunnel will be S,OOO feet in length,
and will have 2,000 feet of side cuttings. It is in
tended to lay it with four tracks, and thus provide
free and safe entrance into the city for six or eight
different railways, which will eaeli contribute to
its receipt*, and thus make it very profitable stock-
Health or Charleston.—’ The Board of Health,
report 6$ deaths in the city of Charleston, for the
week ending the 2Sd inst. Os these, 45 were from
yellow fever, 4 of remittent fever, 2 of typhoid, and
lof catarrhal fever. This is one to every 68 - per
sons, which is an improvement upon tho report
for the previous week.
Health or Savannah. —The AVyikiicrn of Tues
day morning, has the sttislhctiou of announcing
that “ there has been a marked improvement iu
the health of the city, since the last weekly report.
We are glad to hear it, for that “ Dst weekly re
port” showed a fearful mortality. The jßepuo&ian
bases its declaration upon the authority of” several
physicians,” “druggists,” and “others.' This
may all be very reliable authority, but it occurred
to us, while reading the article, that the Sexton s
report would have been tnueb more satisfactory ;
and we hope the next one may fully confirm the
opinions of those ** physicians, druggists and
others.”
Stoves in Tnucrr.—A few years ago a stove was
unknown in Turkey. Now they are found in a
great majority of the cases in Constantinople and
in the dwelling houses of Hie rich. They arc
mostly either American stove*, or made after
American models.
The steamer Illinois, which sailed from New York
for Aspinwall City on Wednesday, took out 750
passengers, among whom wero Miss Catharine
Hayes and suite, and 150 mechanics and laborer,
for the Panama Bail Koad. The Express says that
there is but little qbb in the California immigration,
though it is also tine that the returning steamers
bring home as many as they take out.

Mr. Editor:—From your paper of the 19th inst.,

It is time the Empire State of the South was
moving in this matter. It is time the intelligence
of onr people was aroused. It is the State's busi

It is notti.e dram-drinker only who is destroyed
by the “ ma-idecing bowl.” The temperate man's
son is rained by it; his slaughter's husband is
ruined by it; his debtor is ruined by it; his work

himself is, directly or indirectly, ruined by it. It
is the business of every father, mother, brother,

their shoulders to the wheel and expedite tjic work
nntil the hydra-headed evil is banished from onr

Set the people to thinking, and they will soon rid

bushel bought in Augusta, and sealed by the au
thorities there for my friend, Col. Wood, (who
raised the wheat) and the wheat was sifted into it
and struck with a straight edge, and weighed thus
•measured sixty-seven ponnda; but I asked the
Committee at the Fair Ground to re-measure and
re-weigh, knowing the half bushel conid not be
any smaller than ours, and it piroved to be some
larger, I suppose, from their report.
I send yon a sample of this wheat herewith, and
you will discover there is some faulty grains in it
caused by the rust. lam having this wheat seiv
cd for the purpose of trying to have a fair bushel of
wheat ('struck measure/ that will weigh seventy
pounds. Already have I measured up (as farmers
measure one to another) several bushels that weigh
seventy to seventy two pounds. There was no
trick in onr wheat. We are willing to compare
with any raised in the South, i nd have’sent aome
to Macon tor thia purpose.

Bishop lluuno’s Case.
Tho Court of Bishops, assembled at Burlington,
in the ease of the presentment against Bishop
Doanc, has at length concluded its labors by the
adoption oftho following orders:
Whereas, previous to the making of the pre
sentment now before this Court, the Convention
of New Jersey had nves.igated most ofthe mat
ters contained therein, and had determined that
there was no ground for presenment: therefore,
Ordered, That as to the matters thus acted upon
by said Convention, this Court is not called upon
to proceed further.
Whereas, the Diocese of New Jersey stands
pledged to investigate any charges against its-
Bishop that may be presented from any responsi
ble source; and whereas, a special Convention
lias been called, shortly to meet, ir. reference to
the new matters contained in the presentment
now before this Court: therefore,
Ordered, That this Court, relying upon said
pledge, do not now proceed to any further action
in the premises.
The orders, by which, it will bo perceived, the
right and action of the Diocese of New Jersey
are fully recognized, are understood to have been
passed with tho dissent of only six members of the
Court, viz.: Bishops Hopkins, Smith, Lee, Johns.
Eastburn, and Potter. They arc understood to
have regarded the Court as preeluded by the
limitation ofthe cannon, from taking into consid
eration the action of the Diocese.
Subsequently to the passage of these orders, tho
Presenting Bishops attempted to substitute for the
presentment-tlras laid aside, as acted on by the
Diocese, a former presentment whieli they had
themselves made, (substantially ill the ’ same
terms,) and withheld. This attempt was rejected
by tiic Court; no member dissenting. The pro
ceedings oftho Court are.to bo published, for
sale. The adjournfnent was, of course sine die. —

Gen. Scott at Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, Oct. 20. —1 t having been an
nounced by tolegraph that- General Kc-ott was on
his way from New York to Philadelphia, an im
mense concourse of persons assembled ut Wash
ington street wharf, where a salute was fired on
! lie boat coming in sight. On touching the wharf
hu was welcomed by cheers, and every demonstra
tion of enthusiasm, when a procession was formed,
consisting of a large cavalcade of horsemen, and
persons on foot and in carriages.
The procession passed up through Southwark,
and the General was frequently cheered at various
points of tho route. On reaching the Girard
House tho whole street was blocked up with spec
tators und great enthusiasm was evinced. On
being called to the window tho General addressed
the assemblage, returning his ‘hanks for the
honor conferred on him by so warm a reception,
and concluded by complimenting Philadelphians
•nd P ennsylvanians on that indomitable euergy
which had made their city one of the first in the
Union, and that gallantry which had As often dis
tinguished them in defending the flag of their
country.
Tho General declines attending the Lancaster
Agricultural Fair, and will leave for Baltimore, on
his direct route to Washington to-morrow morn

From the West Indies. —By tho barque Prince
ton, Captain Seeley, at New York, we have files of
Georgetown, British Guiana, papers to the 25th of
September.
The Boyal Gazette of the latest date, says that
the weather had been intensely hot for the previ
ous two weeks, and the plantations were begin
ning to sutler for want of rain. The epidemic which
had been prevulentfor some timo, had abated some
what, but the mortality, both among the shipping
and the inhabitants, was still in excess ofthe usual
average.
Barbadoes papers to the loth of September,
mention that tlie yellow fever, in its most virulent
type, has niado its appearance among the troops of
tiio garrison. There ,had been about thirty cases
in the Biltli regiment, of which sixteen proved fa
tal—all privates but oue, Lieut. Ormc. Several of
the police force had been attacked by tlie disease,
and one death among them and two uinong the
ctizens, had been recordod.
The Demarara Colonist states that it is also vory
sickly there. The sumo is tlie case at llcrbie*,
though the Gazette of that place doilies that it is
the yellow fever which is prevalent.
From St. Thomas. —Wo have been favored witli
tile following extract from a letter dated
St. Thomas, Sept. 28.—“W0 bavo laid very bad
weather. On Thursday last, tho 23d, it blew a
perfect hurricane. Two vessels foundered in tlie har
bor, and one was wrecked ou the rocks. On Satur
day nud Sunday it blew a very severe gale from
tho South. Yesterday wus but little better.
“Our poor seamen are still dying the black
vomit—live died yesterday. The physician lias
acknowledged that our dear friend, tlie Kcv. Mr.
Richards, died of yellow fever.”
Ingenious Forgery. —About a fortnight since, a
man callud at tlie provision Btorc of Messrs. Everts
& Curtiss. No. 248 Fulton street, aud bought a half
barrel of fisli, which amounted to something less
than five dollars. Ho tendered in payment a City
Bank bill of SIOO, and ou being tofd that it was af
ter bank hours, and they could not change it, ho
said eooly “ give me your check—that will do just
us well.” Having received it, lie ordered the bar
rel to bo marked “ Mr. Johnson,” and said “ lie
would send for it in a day or two.”
On Saturday, the second day alter tho check of
$95 and some*cents was paid by the Ocean Bunk,
and soon anot her check of the same signature was
presented to tlie toller for $O3l, payable toC. & A.
Moses, a respectable firm in the same line of busi
ness us Everts & Curtiss. The teller, Mr. W.
B. MeGucin, at once detected it as a forgery, and
turned romid to get tlie porter to step outside the
tlie counter and detain the boy; but lie disap
peared in a twinkle.
The imitation of the signature was so exact, that
one of the firm pronounced it to be his partner’s
writing. The scamp had obtained tlie check in the
manner described, aud traced tho signature on one
of the -ame print, repeating the process until he
succeeded in getting a good copy. An officer was
employed to fellow the barrel of fish, when it
might be sent for; but it still remains at the store
of Messrs. E. & C.
From successful experiments of the same kind
in Philadelphia, within a few days thereafter, it is
supposed the cunning rascal has, for tlie time, left
these parts. Ucsuceededin obtaining near two
thousand dollars from two banks there, and the
parties whose names lie forged each retain their
barrel of fish. The same irame was practised at
the Merchant’s Exchange Bank some months ago,

Caught is a Water SrocT.— A Trinidad (W. I.)
paper relates the following The schooner Prc.-i
dent Jeremic, lying ot this port, trot under weigh
tor St. Vincent.' but had onlv got as far as opposite
the Five Islands, (A icw miles from the anchorage
ground of Fort Spain,' when an accident of a
most unusual and terrifying nature occurred to her.
The master of the vessel had observed some threat
ening weather coming on, and had prudently taken
in all sail, when he suddenly found his vessel en
veloped in the vortex of what is commonly known
as a water spout —of water, however, he saw none,
hut of the wind, or whirlwind, more than, in ul
probability, he would like to see again, or seeing,
be lucky enough to survive to tell the tale.
His little vessel, as he describes it, was carried
down into a kind of weil or vortex, and there
thrown on her beam ends. She recovered her po
sition ; was again thrown down in the same way.
recovered herself; a third time prostrated. In the
course of those three upsets, seven of the eleven
persons on board were thrown off the deck into
ihe water; the master himself was thrown over
board a second time, after once getting on board
out of the vortex.
Finaily the whirlwind passed over, and of the
seven overboard, five succeeded in getting on
board again, but fwo, unfortunately, were drown
ed—they were both sailors of the vessel; one ot
the two men drowned was an elderly man : a pas
senger who was supporting himself on a hen coop
he had been lucky enough to find floating about,
gallantly gave it up to him, seeing his age and in
firmity,"and swam off to a water cask floating at a
greater distance ; but the poor man could not keep
iiis hold of the coop, and was drowned : the otliei
man who perished was not seen from the moment
he fell from the deck into the sea.
Ti.e deck cargo fell or was swept overboard, the
long boat was partially atove in, and the mainsaii.

and report damage.

MiLTtn ix Paeto.— The Tribune compresses
voiumes of argument in political economy into the
followirfjj:
If the aggregate of employments open to woman
were doubled, her average compensation could not
fail to be enhanced. Now we are buying from
abroad some fifty millions worth of silks, laces,
cotton, linen and woolan fabrics, artificial flowers,
ite. <Sc., which are mainly the product of female
labor, and paying for them with the rude, bulk}
staples of agriculture, mainly prod uced by mens
labor. In other words, we are hiring two millions
of women to work for us in Europe, and paying
them with the produce of mens latior m thit
country. ...
If this policy does not restrict the range ol em
ployment for women in America, thereby serious, ,
di "inisliing her average compensation, then we
cannot reaasn. And we have no more doubt than
of our own existence, that a protective tariff which
wonld transfer to our own shores the production
of the silks, cottons, linens, laces, Ac., which we
are now baying in Europe, would increase the an
tiual earning* of the women of our country from £5
to 60 per cent.
Successful JCkial Navigation. —A Paris corres
pondent of the Washington Rcpnblic gives the
follow it)).- curious account, from a small town on
the frou ier of Spain, of a successful attempt at
directing a balloon, made there by a Spaniard
tt.micd An ton's Moles. His balloon was exceed
ingly small, just powerful enough to suport him
and his apparatus, and have an ascensional power
b-sides. There was no car, the cord supporting
tiic top of a table only, upon which the asrouant
placed himself belly- wise, or as a school boy, used
to w edding, would say, beliy-bumpus. His buck
•,vas likewise attached to the bag by cords. Upon
his leg* were two umbrellas, sot-.' speak, acting
free'y upon their sticks, and in each hand was a
set ofsilken screen, opening with hinges and «*-
pandits or contracting at will. A rope, attached
ar /Ui.d his neck, communicated with the valve of
toe balloon, and around his body was a belt con
taining six or seven pounds of shot for ba.last.
Upon cutting himself loose from the earth, the
balloon rose gently rente two hundred feet, the
tmosphere being perfectly calm. The teronant
tlien commenced a motion very mnch resembling
swimming, ami the balloon begun to fail otf with
considerable rapidity, the sp>ced increasing as the
machinery of impulsion began to work freely. He
went five miles in a straight line and then return
ed, performing the whole ten in twenty nine
minutes. On his discent the guests who had been
invited to witness the experiment conducted him
in triumph to his residence, where he announced
annother trial for the following Sunday, He as
serted that, even should the wind blow, lie conld
nevertheless make head against it, by tactics simi
lar to the tacking of a ship.
Pirates in the Caina Seas. —Extract from a let
ter from Cupt. Palmer, of the New York clipper
ship Celestial, from Shanghai, at Liverpool, under
date of first of October, to bis ow Hers in this city:
“ I omitted to mention in my last that I was at
tacked by a flefet of nine pinrica! jnuks on the coast
of Hainan. The ship was between the land and
the junks, wind light, and the pirates within a
j q unrter of a mile of me, when t hey all bore down
upon the ship, beating their gongs'and firing with
I double-shotted guns. The gnus, however, were
too heavily shotted, and fell short of us. The
breeze providentially freshened, and 1 soon got
i clear or them; bat for this, nothing eonld have
i saved ns, for some of the junks had mounted six
i teen guns, and had from forty to fifty men on
j board.”
This extract shows the necessity of a competent
| naval force being kept up in that region, for the
1 protection of our rapidly increasing commerce, and
| commends itself strongly to the attention of our
| Government.— Balt. Amor.
i Ccriocs Phenomenon. —The wreck of the Atlan-
I tic on Lake Erie has not yet been raised. The Os
j wego Journal saysthat Mr. Green is uoweoustruct
! ing, in Buffalo, a new sub-marine armor, which
; will enable him, if necessary, to remain under wa
iter two hours, at the depth of the wreck, 1623*
| feet, which will avoid the repetition of frequent
! ascents. The same paper adds the following inte
resting facts:
Mons. Mailiefert has made some curious ex
periments to ascertain the pressure of the
water at the depth of 180 feet. An empty jnnk
bottle, corltea and scaled air tight, sunk beneath
the surface at the above depth for seven minutes,
takes in, by some phenomenon unexplained a large
quantity of water. A pieeo of iron attached to a
scale by a niece of wire, weighing 18 lbs., sunk at
the same depth, loses 3 lbs. and 1 oz. One may
judge from this the pressure sustained by a human
being at the same depth. Mr. G. is sanguine that
he can attach fastenings to the wreck by which it
can be raised. The diving of 162j* feet below the
surface is the greatest performance on record by 86
feet.
Matrimonial Engagements. —Not many evenings
ago an incident occurred in the matrimonial rela
tions of this city that is novel for this latitude, and
we therefore chronicle it, to show that a case now
and then wiil occur to give evidence of our rela
tionship to the land of "steady habits.” Nuptial
arrangements were made for a wedding. The wine
was had, the garments made ready —the music en
gaged—the parson spoke for, and everything was
in readiness to bring about the “consummation
to he wished,” but the nice young man. The day
came, and the evening of the day followed the
dawn, as usual—the hour arrived; and as the
young gent did not make his appearanoe the party
went to dancing. Some supposed that the tailor
might have disappointed him, or the shoemaker,
and a party went out to discover the cause and
report. They came in with no intelligence, and the
company renewed the dance; and a second party
was dispatched with no bettcrfortunc. It was now
eleven o’clock and the supper, us it was reudy pre
pared came oft'still the bridegroom did not come. In
the morning it was ascertained that he had dressed
himself in holiday apparel the previous evening,
walked deliberately to the river, and horrible to re
late—walked aboard the steamer Nc Plus Ultra
nnd went down below.— Baton Rouge Gaz.

The Robbery in Monroe.
The two robbers arrested passed through Griffiu

down to Forsyth and. committed to jail. Wo be
lieve the report of the death of Mrs. Jackson,
from the harsh treatment of the robbers, is not
true. The persons arrested are the celebrated Dr.

The Bark Reform.—This vessel, which cleared
for New York on Friday last, with a cargo of 806
bales cotton, 60 barrels rosin, 12 casks tallow, 8
casks beeswax, s,;odry hides, 7 bales leather and 3
boxes merchandise, was wholly consumed by lire
on Sunday and Monday last. It is supposed that
the cotton must huve ignited previously to, or
directly alter, it was stowed, as the Clay, ou Sun
d y, seeing she was on firo, went alonside and
tendered her assistance, but the Captain thinking
that they had already succeeded in extinguishing
the flames, declined tho proffered aid. After she
loft, however, it appears the fire again got the mas
tery, the result being that both vessol and cargo
were entirely destroyed, the hands on board es
caping by means of tho boats and some cotton bales.
The Pratt went down the bay early yesterday
morning on tho Florida bringing the nows, but
found barely a trace of the wreck left. We are glad
to hear that both vessel and cargo were fully insur
ed. While regretting the loss which will fall on
the Insurance companies, we believe there are few,
if any, who will lament the fate of the boat. She
was, we are afraid to say, how old , and was remark
able for making the longest pussnges on record be
tween the two ports. Her last voyage is still fresh
in the minds of onr citizens, to many of whom her
mishaps and long delay was tho cause of serious
loss.— Mobile Ado ., 20<A inst.
Acoesta Flocking Mills.—Wo hear of a sale
yesterday of 50 barrels Cunningham Mills Flour,
at ss.2s—about 25 cents above tho rates command
ed by the Baltimore article. Wo are gratified to
know that tho Angusta Flour deserves to command
a higher price tbaii Baltimore. It is a better arti
cle beyond question, and we hope when it becomes
better known in onr market, it will beeomo more
generally appreciated. We see no reason why we
should send off for Flour when wo can get a supe
rior ariele at home, and we are satisfied that every
true well-wisher to Georgia enterpri cs, will agreo
with ns practically. We hope the Angusta Mills
will continue to keep their Flour before tho citi
zens ot Savannah, and we are well assured that
they will not fear competition with the brands in
onr" market. It is to our interest to connect our
selves as intimately as possible with Angusta, and
there is no link more permanent, and enduring
than the relations of trade establish.— Sav. Ere.

New York Crystal Palace.— The Now Y’ork
Post publishes a handsome view of the Crystal Pai
ne s to be erected on Reservoir Square, for the ex
hibition of tho industry of all Nutionsto bo held in
that city during next Spring. The design repre
sents a building of a highly imposing and orna
mcntnl character, somewhat similar in its general
aspect to its London prcdect ssor, though much less
extended dimensions, and differing in many of tho
details of construction. The ground plan of the
building forms an octagon, and is surmounted by
a Greek cross, with a dome over the intersection,
its extreme length and breadth arc each 865 feet.
The entire space on the ground floor is 11,000
feet, in the galleries 62,000 feet—total area 178,000
fi et, or about 4 acres. The dome will be 148 feet
high. The building will be constructed entirely of
iron and glass. The quantity of iron to be used
wili amount to 1,250 tons, The roof will cover an
area of 144,000 square feet. The glass for the
building will amount to 89,000 square feet, in
9,027 panes, 16 by 34 or 89 inches. The enhibition
will be epened on the second day of May next.—

Another Baxk 'Winding Up.— lt is announced
by authority that the proprietors of the Potomac
Savings Bank -‘have determined to wind up its
affairs, and take in its circulation as speedily as its
“assets,” which are represented as “abundant,”
“ can be converted into money.” It is “ confi
dently expected” by the proprietors that “every
dollar of its notes will be redeemed.”
The notes of six othersimilarinstitutions, issuing
paper under the denomination of five dollars, and
having no locality hereabouts, were redeemed at the
Potomac havings Bank: but now this establish
ment is winding np, wc presume that the note
holders of these foreign concerns will have to
look elsewhere for a redemption of the “promises.”

Keltoioi's Revivals.—There has been quite an
interesting protracted meeting in the Baptist
church in this place, which closed on Sabbath
nignt last. On Sunday afternoon, the Rev. IVm.
T. Brantly, baptised" fourteen persons in the
■ iconcd—ten w hites and four colored—who thus
made an open profession of religion.
We were pained and grieved to see on this in
eresting and solemn occasion—for the mode of
oaptism adopted by our Bap'ist brethren has al
ways strnek us as being j-ccuiiarly solemn and
mpressive—that neither the sanctity of the hoi;
■■abhatb, nor the impressiveness of the solemn
ordinance, could reetam the juveniles, black and
white, from their n-uai ribaldry and blackguardism.
They seemed to have forgotten the time, place and
■cession, and to have imagined themselves at a
eirens.
We understand there is also a very interesting
protracted meeting in progress at Watkinsville, in
the Methodist church. Thirty-five persons, we
learned on Tuesday, had joined the church, and
the revival was still’ progressing.— Athens HrraU.

In easting up the figures in our table, Broome ap
■ >ears to have a majority of 278 over Ward; and
Maxwell a majority of 19S over Cabell. The two

T. Bntlcr Kme, it is now said, was not removed,
but has resigned his posi of Collector at San Fran
cisco. TLc vacancy thus made has been filled by
the appointment of Beverley C. Sanders as his
-uecessor. It is said that the reasons which
ed to this action on the tart of Mr. King were,
that a difference of opinion had arisen between
im and the Government relative to the amount
of duties which ought legally to be imposed on
mported goods arriving at San Francisco, and
that his decisions as collector of the port, had
riven offence to the Frenah and British importers,

A Opinions of the Press.
Soethekn Cultivator.— We have just received
as an exchange, this excellent Agricultural journal
and consider it a valuable acquisition to our list.—
We have always prized it higher than any other of
a similar character, because it is emphatically the
farmers’journal. Evory person at all engaged in
the business of firming, should take the "Southern
Cultivator." It is unnecessary for us to attempt to
recommend it to our planting friends, as it is
already well known throughout the cntireSouth.—
It contains, monthly, thirty-two page* of interest

ber of this truly excellent work is on our table and
ought to have been noticed by ns at an earlier day
On glancing over the long list of contents we fin’d
many subjects noticed of vital importance to every
Southern and Western agriculturalist. The Culti
vator is intended to embody the experience of far
mers and planters, and permit such discussions
through its p-ges, as will elicit truth on every sub
ject connected with the best interests of the hus
bandman. It is the pioneer work es tbc kind in
the South and now sustains a high rank among
that class of perio.lie-.ds. Every farmer ought t
take it, and we wish that we could encourage all
to do so. —Chattannooga Advert iter.
The Soethekn Cultivator. —It is devoted ex

Money Matters in New-York.
The following interesting intelligence from the
monetary world In New-York, is extracted from
the correspondence of the Savannah Republican :
New-York, Oet. 19, 1852. — The money market
remains easy in the absence of any unusual de
mand. Most of tbe wants are supplied by the
Banks, nnd very little strictly prime commercial
paper finds its way into tbc note broker’s offices.
Loans on call are affected with facility at 6 pier cent
with an occasional loan of 5 per cent’. Prime pa
per is readily negotiated at 6a 7 per cent. The
llank returns just published, aud the course of the
foreign trade, show-tlmt there will probably be no
superfluity of money in tbe market until some
change takes place iii the relative amounts of im
ports and exports.
An elabo rate statement of the condition of the
forty-one Banks and Banking associations in this
city, just published, based on statements mude by
the order of tlie Comptroller for the 4th of Septem
ber last, shows that all the Bunks are in a state of
unusual expansion, and that there has been from
quarter toquarter, since December last, a very largo
i nercase of loaus and discounts, on a comparative
ly small increase of capital. The extent of this in
crease is shown in the following extract:
December. March 27. June 26. Sejit. 4.

Specie 7,364,489 9,716,070 12,152,048 8,702,911
It is no more than proper to remark, that ns it
hail not been anticipated that a return day earlier
than tlio 25th of October would be named, the
Banks were taken by surprise, and without any
preparation for a pulilie exposure ot their condition.
Tlie exhibition made, therefore, is less favorable
thanjit would have been hud tlio rotnrns been requir
ed on the day above named, when it was under
stood there had been a considerable reduction in
the amount of discounts in preparation for such a
return. This reduction, it is presumed, still con
tinues, though, front the movements in specie, it is
not probable there lias been any large increase in
the stock of that commodity.
The rates of Exchai go continue firm at 1103* a

New York Items.
The New York money market on Saturday con
tiued easy, and money was freely obtained upon
all prime securities. The imports of general mer
chandize for tbe week have fallen oft' materially,
and the total is considerably less than for any pre
vious week since the 27th of February—amounting
only to $1,431,879. The exports for tlie week to
foreign ports (exclusive of specie) amount to $613,-
371, making a total of $2,490,356 since the Ist in
stant.
The U. S. Mail steamship Franklin, which sailed
for llavro tm Southampton, on Saturday, took out
$338,282 in specie. Foreign Exchange closed steady
at previous quotations. At tho first Board U. S.
Sixes of 1867 brought 119. The sales of Cotton
in New York for tho threo days have comprised
4,700 bales, and for the week 11,700. The stock in
that city is now reduced to a low figure, yet holders
are'free sellers, and prices during the latter por
tion of the week wero in favor of tho buyer. On
some qualities prices liuve been reduced an eighth.
Low to Good Ordinary was quoted at from 8% to
9%cents; Low to Good Middling 9"-(to 10% ; and
Middling Fair to Fair 10% to 10% cents. The
freight of Cotton to Liverpool is quoted at from
three-sixteenths of a penny to a farthing, and to
Havre, square bales, three-eighths of a cent per
pound.

Tho Galveston Civilian of the 15thinst. contains
a letter from Secretary Conrad to V. E. Howard,
Esq., Representative from Texas, written in reply,
to u letter announcing that the Governor had called
three companies of rangers. Mr. Conrad says:
“In reply I have tho honor to state that recent
intelligence has been received from the Eighth
Military Department, and, as at present advised,
1 have no reason to believe that the services of
these volunteers are at all necessary for the pro
tection of tho inhabitates of Texas against the
Indians. I must, therefore, decline to authorize
the muster of these troops. I deem it proper to
add, moreover, that volunteer companies, thus or
ganized without tho sanction nnd contrary to the
judgment of the authorities properly charged with
the defence of the country, havo a tendency, to
create hostilities, and rather to endanger the peace
of the frontier than to preserve it.”
Lieut. W. P. Street, U.S. A-, recently commit

Theßnn Antonio Ledger has the following from
the Mexican Boundary Survey:
“A letter from Commissioner Bartlott to tho
Secretary of tiie Interior, dated at the Pirno Vil
lages, July 9th, announces the completion, on the
Ist of the survey of Gila river. By recent letters
from Major Emory, it appears that the survey of
the Bio Grande has progressed ns far down as
Presidio del Norte, where Major E. now is, and
that Lieut. Miekler, who was engaged in survey
ing the river downward from Eiigde Pass, (which
is, we believe, about 500 miles below the Presidio
del Norte,) had completed the survey of üboutl3s
miles, when, in conseqnence of the more difficult
portion of the work between Presidio del Norte
and Eagle Pass, ho was ordcrod to work upwards
until he should meet Major E.’s downward parties,
when they would all resume work below the Pass,
and continue to the mouth of the river. Commis
sioner Bartlett and his par ies have probably ar
rived at El Paso before this time.
The same paper says:
In the yard of Maj. Calvert, at Segnin, we saw a
legitimate coffee plant. His good lady detected a
coffee grain in the act of sprouting and placed it
in the earth. The little tree is now about three
feet high, and covered with yellow blossoms and
pods, of the latter of which some are nearly ma
tured. It is as yet but two years old, and the only
care bestowed upon this "tropical stranger has
been to screen it from rude northers.

We find the following in tho San Antonio
Ledger of the 7th inst:
A report reached San Patricio on the 27th nit.,
that forty-two ludiauß attacked a small body of
Mexicans a day or two previous at a mustang-pen
some twenty miles West of that town. The In
d ans killed eleven Mexicans and the Corpus
Christi and Laredo mail carrier. The Indians had
some fifty horses in their possession.
Crops.—The Brazos Delta says:
On the 29th September, 1852, fifteen hands pick
ed cotton on Mai. Moore’s plantation, and averaged
820 pounds to the hand." The foremost pickers
were; Phil, 769 pounds; Harriet, 672; Calvin, 657;
Mahuiy 600.
A correspondent of the ludianola Bulletin, from
Gonzales county says:
We are picking the best crop of cotton that has
ever been raised in the county ; many of the farm
ers boast that they will pick 4000 ponuds per
acre. The average crop in the county will be not
less than 1500 pounds per acre.
The Brazorit Planter of the 13th, says:
Las week we made a hurried trip around a por
tion of the county and visited some thirty planta
tions. According" to the information which we
have been able to collect, crons in this county will
be fer better than in any other portion of Texas.
Our cotton planters will make at least one bale to
the acre.
Sugarcane never looked better. The prospect
for the largest crop of sugar which has ever been
made in this county is almost certain.
The Nacodoches Chronicle of the 4th inst. says:
Since our last issue we have paid a hurried visit
to Cherokee county, and must take occasion again
to allude to the abundant crops everywhere made.
The cotton Is fine, and turning out weil.
In the Brazoria Planter of the 13th we find the
following:
The hostilities of the Indians seem to have

Bock Slide.—The Hudson River Railroad Com
pany are engaged in blasting rock at a point about
a mile below KLinebeck in tront of the elegant
coungant country seat of Wm. Kelley, Esq. On
Thursday last an immense blast was fired off about
2 o'clock, P. M., which we witnessed. It had ef
fect to loosen a part of the rock lying a few yards
South which was carefully watched.
About 8 o’clock in the evening the whole mass
came down, and buried the whole track from 50
tolOOlectin length. The obstruction was removed
in the course ot the night, and no difficulty was ex
perienced exeept the necessity for transferring the
passengers in the np train to the down train, and
vice versa. The trains were running as usual the
next morning. The down train ran over a cow
near Dobb’s Ferry, but continued cn without in
terruption. Such carelessness should be thoroughly
investigated, and punished. —Journalof Commerce.

EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
Additional by tbe Europa.
Great Britain. —The principal intelligence of
interest by this arrival is relative to the Arctic ex
pedition. ’
A telegraphic communication from Aberdeen, in
the L- noon Times of the 9th inst., says that tlie
Prince Albert arrived there on the evening of the
7th inst., bringing no accounts of Sir John Frank
lin. *
The Prince Albert wintered at Baffin’s By.
searched Prince Regent’s lniet, discovered aetiai'i
nel on the West of Nor|ji Somcr-et, traversed it
witn sledges, and round by Port Leopold, but
found no traces of the mi-sing ex;-edition. She
got as far North as Bocchy Head; on tbe 18th of
August last she fell in with the North Star.
The expedition' had passed up Weliii,clou Chan
nel early in the sea-on. The channel wag open
and quite free from ice. The Pri-iee Albert left
the ice ou the 23J of August, and brought des
patches from the North Star. The officers and -
crew were all well.
The despatch adds tiiat the Davis’ Straits fishery
was a failure. L’pto August only sixfi-h ha.l been -
taken between all the ships. Tne Regalia, of Kir- !
caldv, had been lost ; also an American whaler,
name not stated. •
On tbe 7th mat., accounts were received in Lon
don of numerous casnalities to shipping on the sth, l
i ivolving a heavy loss of life; thegaleis d.serib- i
ed by the seamen who were caught in it as most,
terrific in its violence and disastrous in its effects.
The storm did not prevail from one point, but
shifted about from S. S. W. to N. N. fiY., and was
accompanied by heavy rain, and at intervals by
thunder and lightning.
Considerable doubt seems to exist respecting the
genuineness of the specimens of gold which it is
alleged were found in Caffrtland.
France. —As one of the signs of the coming Em
pire. au extraordinary issue of tlie military journal,
Le M-miteur de l’Armee, lias been published. It
co .tains the programme of this coronation of the
Emperor Napoleon and tbe Empress Josephine, as
drawn up by M. de Scgnr who was grand master
of the ceremonies on that occasion in 1804.
A convention for an international telegraph sys
tem between France, Belgium aud Prussia, was
concluded at Paris on tbe 4th inst.
It is said that tlie French Government has made
application to that of England for the restoration
of Napoleon’s will, which remains in tho posses
sion of England.
Holland. —A statement of tlie Dutch finances,
which has just been published, gives a very favora
ble view'of their position. The budget’for 1858
shows an estimated surplus of 1,610,944 francs of
revenue over expenditure.
Italy.— ThePontifieiul Government have agreed
to pay half a million of florins annually to Austria,
for the occupation of some of tho legations by-
Austrian troops.
General Gemeau, commander of the French
troops at Rome, has returned to Paris.
Tlie trial of tho Ammazzarelli, which, during
the Republic, had its head quarters at Sinigali, has
just been concluded at Rome. Os 81 persons who
were indicted, the Consults has condemned twen
ty-two to death.
Destructive floods have happened the past week
in Piedmont. A diligence containing passengers
floated down the river of tlie Levant, und had to
bo anchored for four hours to a tree.
Austria. —According to the New Prussian Ga
zette, Austria is raising large additions to its force;
and some of the papers even hint of coercive men
sures toward Prussia, on account of her obstinacy
on the Zollvcrein question. The Emperor has re
sumed It’s travels in Croatia, l.as been at Gratz,
Marburg, and Agram, and is now at Carlstadt.
The correspondence oftlie London Times states,
respecting Georgey, tiiat although the report that
he had been taken to tlie fortress of Cufstein iu
the Tyrol was unfounded, yet two months since
the idea of removing him from Carinthiti was enter
tained. Travellers frequently stop at Klageufurt
to make his acquaintance, and the sure consequence
of doing so is to reeeivo au unmistakeablo hint to
move on without delay. Tho Times goes on to
say that Georgey, so far from enjoying a pension
from Austria, is often liurd put to it for tlie means
of subsistence.
A fearful disaster took place recently, on the oc
casion of a high Jewish festival at Kolnied, in Ga
licia. Some thousand Jews were assembled in the
Synagogue, when a cry of fire was raised in the wo
men’s gallery. In tho rush that followed to the
narrow staircase, many were thrown down, and
thirty-six ladies, several of whom were of high
rank’, were crushed to death. The fire was the work
of a gang of thieves, who availed themselves of
the eoufusion to snaton the pearl and diamond or
naments worn by many of the ladies.
Turkey. —A letter from Constantinople states
that the Sultan is seriously indisposed, and that
tlia event of his death is publicly spoken of.
Tho negotiations between England nnd
the Porte, respecting the right to armed vessels of
passing the Bosphorous, progress slowly.
Persia. —Letters from Tuuris, of August 28th,
bring the news of an attempt to assassinate the
Shan of Persia. While he was hunting, tour men
approached him under pretence of presenting a
petition, which he refused to accent. Two ot the
men then seized his horse by tho bridle, while the
other two discharged two double-barrel pistols at
tho Shall, who received three shots in the thigh
mid one in the mouth. He was able, however to
keep his assailants at Bay until hissuitc cnnie np,
by whomdwo of the assassinsjyero literally cut to
nieces, while the gllier-two were taken alive. They
slated that they had no accomplices, but belonged ti
the order of Bubis, and hud sworn to avenge their
chief, who had perished some time since. At la-'
accounts, the Shah, was expected to recover, and
two of the bullets bad been extracted.
Cape of Good Hope.—The dates from Capo of
Good Hope are to Aug. 29, several days later than
received by previous mail.
It is stated, on rumors brought by natives, that
the Caffre chief, Kreli, has retired from Ids “Great
Place,” into the coast country, 150 miles distant
where there are extensive forests suited to conceal

skirmishes in other parts of tho district, between
tho burghers and Calfres.
Miscellaneous. —Madame Jenny Lind Gold
sclunidt lias purchased a house in Dresden, and
will reside in future, in that city. She does not
intend to sing publicly during the ensuing Win
ter but is reported to have said that her next pub
lic appearance will be in England.
Conflagration at Sea.—By the arrival of the
Jordesou yesterday from Cuba, intelligence has
been received of the total destruction by fire of the
English vessel Helen, bound from Paris to Liver
pool. The vessel was laden with a cargo of gener
al merchandise, among which wero 140 tons Indian
rubber, and about 9 o’clock on tho morning on the
6th of August in latitude 30 dog. 30 min. North
lon. 52 deg. West, a quantity of smoko was ob
served to arise from below the deck, and fire was
immediately afterward discovered in the after part
of tho ship immediately below the cabin.
All the exertions made to extinguish the fire
were ineffectual, owing to the inflammable nature
ofthe cargo, and the vessel wiiSentirely consumed,
the crew and the only passenger on board, Mr.
Wallace, having previously left in the longboat and
gig. For 10 days these unfortunate persons wero
buffeted about on the ocean, and suffered severely
from the boisterous weather and the scarcity of
provisions, when on the ovemng of the 16th of
Augnst they .espied a sail. They were perceived
by the Jordeson, the master of wliioli, Mr. Vena
bles, bore down to their aid, and picked them up
in lat. 82 deg. 46 min. N., long. 61 W.
Their sufferings, however, did not altogether
end on their being got. on board the Jcrdeson. The
latter’s provisions, owing to the addition ofthe
Helen’s men and a somewhat protracted voyage,
ran short, aud all on board were put ou a very
small allowance, at onetinio almost next to no
thing; indued, hut fora supply which was ob
tained from tho Ocean Wave (homeward hound,)
they would have been all starved before they
reached the Channel. Some rats were caught ou
board, and being cooked, were devoured with
much eagerness. TheY intents of the grease pot
were also consumed, and,indeed, everything tliut
ould sustain life.
The Iron Interests or the United States.
The annexed interesting article from the Boston
Journal deserves to be universally read. The iron
interest of the Unitod States may be truly termed
a national one, as well on account of its very gen
eral production as tho universality of its consump
tion. It is also a national want, tho ability to
supply which exists wi.hin ourselves and would
be most happily demonstrated, were the Tariff so
modified as to afford reasonable encouragement to
the domestic industry of tho country -.—Baltimore

“There are few minerals more widely diffused,
and none of greater value than Iron. The ore ot
this metal is found in almost every State. though
Pennsylvania is emphatically the greatest iron pro
ducing State of the Union- Other States, how
ever contain the ore in no less thun dance. It
has been estimated that in Ohio, 1200 square miles
are under-laid with iron, which tract is calculated
to contain 4,080,000.0u0 tons. In Maryland, Ten
nessee, Missouri, Kentucky, Virginia, and other
States, the ore is found in abundance. And yet
with all the lavish bounty of nature in tins respect,
we annually import not far from $10,000,000 worth
of iron in the pig or nmnfaetured by rolling!
Great Britain is the greatest iron producing
country of the world, her annual production being
estimated at 8,000,00 D tons. Five years ago the
United States produced the same amount. In
1850, according to the census returns, only 5(54.75 5
tons were made. This decline in production isin a
great measure attributable to the reduction of duty
under the free-trade tariff of 1840. The cheap
ness of foreign iron in our markets sets at defiance
the competition of our own iron and manufac
turers. Some idea may be formed of the great
loss which has resulted from the abandonment of
the policy of protecting our own producers, by an
examination of the statistics of the iron manu
facture of Pennsylvania. There ore 304 blast
furnaces and bloomeries in the State, with a
capacity for making 550,050 ton-4. per annum. In
1850, they made but about 200,000 tons. The
number of forges and rolling mills in the State is
200, with a capacity lor making 224,650 tons per
annum. Their actual product for 1847, waa 2* 2,-
727 tons. In 1849 the production had fallen off to
136,853 tons. The capital invested in the above
mills amounts to not tar from s3o*ooo,ono, and the
deterioration must be at least 50 per cent. Proba
bly not half so many laborers are now employed in
the manufacture as were employed in 1547. These
facts show the extent of the existing depression in
the iron business ofthe country.
It is dmibtless a matter of surprise with many,
how it is that so heavj, tuul jet ooatuarativ.l;. (
cheap an article as iron <an he produced in Great ]
Britain and sold in this* country, after paying duty, |
freight, and commissions, at a h ss price than it can !
he afforded from our own mills. The answeris (ds
vious. We have the skill, the fie:, tire faculties .
tor reaching a market, and every other exquisite I
for the production of iron which is to be h.und
abroad, except cheap labor. I n tbor ei t -rs largely
into the process of iron niakitur, end laborere'can
be obtained hvthc master' of Scotland at from 21
to 38 cell's a day. In England from B2to 48 cents
per day is paid. In this country the wag sos com
mon laborers is from 75 to $1 pet day, the average
being about 80 gents a day. Here is a difference
of about ino per cent, in favor ol the British manu
facturer, enabling him to produce iron at a cost of
only about $lO pier ton. which cannot be umnu
fact’ured here for perhaps twice that sum.
It follows that without judicious protection or n
great reduction in the wages of the labor, the iron
interest, like many other brunches of manuf leture,
must continue depressed. The desired protection
was accorded to tiie iron business by the tariff of
1842—a tariff which was emphatically a Whig
measure, and which was repealed by the Democra
cy. The latter party is emphatically re-ponsible
for the existing depression with the manufactures.
Here then we have a broad line separating thetwo
parties, and a distinct and important issue in the
present canvass. The Whig, aim to encourage the
iron interest and every other branch cf domestic
industry—the Democrats seek by free trade to
throw our markets open to the competition of the
world, thus breaking down our manufacturing j
Industry, or reducing the wages or the laborer to ;
a par with the starvation price in Europe. Those ]
who contend that there is no important issue be- !
tween the two great parties will do well to ponder
upon these facts.” •

gain of 10,000 on the majority of 26,000 obtained
by Wood, dom., for Governor, last year. The bal
ance of the counties not yet reported, 15 in num
ber, will increase this gain, but will probably leave
the democratic majority on Supreme Judge nnd

OGLETHORPE SHPERIOH COURT,
OCTOUKtt JSS2.
Sst7” We, the Grand Juror*, chosen and sworn for
October Term, 1552, offer the following Presentments:
>Vo find, from an examination • J the Record* of the In
ferior arid Superior Court?, which, having been made by a
, competent Committee ti have been neatly und correctly
kept, and In a manner highly creditable to that officer.
'1 he .la.il has aL o been examined by a Committee, who
report that there are some repairs necessary to be made,
amt would call the attention of the Inferior Court to the
same, th « t it lie made both safe and as comfortable as pos
sible to those that may be contin d therein.
We are pleased to see the improvement in the condition
of the Public Hoads, but tliiuk there might he made still
greater improvements for the convenience And comfort of
travellers.
Relieving that the retail of ardent spirits is a great evil,
one from which originate many of the crimes of our coun
try, we would recommend to our next Legislature to have
the people say on their tickets Retail or No Retail.
The lust Grand Jury h iving recommended a discontinu
ance of the occupancy by the Hons of Temperance of the
upper Room of the Court House, which is now used by a
Debating Society. We do not see any good reason why
the order of the Sons of Temperance should be longer ex
cluded from holding their sessions therein, proved they
have the consent of the Inferior Court.
We tender our thanks to his Honor, kludge Baxter, for
his courtesy to this body, and also to the Solicitor, Weems,
tor his attention during this Court.
We request that these Presentments be publi hed in the
Augusta Constitutionalist & Republic and Chronicle & Sen

Zaradatha Lodge, No. 83.—At a Regular Meeting, held
on the 20th inst., the following Resolutions were passed,
viz:
In the inscrutable ways of Providence, it has again
pleased our Creator to remove from our midst, and from
the bosom of his family, another Brother. The ties of
Earth have been severed, and we can but mourn the re
moval of our Brother, WILLIAM WYNN, from the bounds
of time “ to that bourne from whence no traveller re
turns.” This solemn lesson comes to us to teach us the
instability Life and the certainty of Death. Let the
lesion not fail of its import. Be it
Resolved, That in the loss of our Brother, Wynn, we
deeply sympathize with his bereaved family, and commend
hi 9 widowed wife and orphaned children to the care of that
Providence who “holds our lives in the hollow of his*
hand,” and whose “love is over all his works.”
That the members of Zaradatha Lodge No.
83, wear the usual badge, and the Lodge Room be clothed
in mourning for the space of thirty days.
Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions be sent to
our Brother’s family, and to the Okreaiqe k Sentinel, and
Southern Christian Ad vacate for publication.

£5?" Oxygenated Hitters.—The following testimonia
is from a New York paper:
An intimate friend of ours has for years been afflicted
with all the accumulated evils of a confirmed dyspepsia—a
complaint which he character sticaliy describes as “ Pro
tean in its forms, and Pandorean In its effects.” He was
nearly unfitted for mental and bodily exertion—life, at
times, being an almost insupportable burthen. He had
gone the rounds of the ’ pathies , without experiencing per
manent relief. He had lived on low diet, and sometimes
on almost no diet at all, until he had become but the
shadow of hi > former self. Happening to drop in upon us
• neday last summer, we presented him with a bottle of
the Oxygenated Bitters, not because we had f »th in its
power, but because he h «d tried everything els *, and we
wished him to leave nothing untried. ll* to k it, as much
to oblige us as for any other reason, nnd he now writes:
before half ol ihe slot bottle hat been used, a blinding
headache, to which 1 cave been hunt subject departed, n»y
appetite returned, and what is better, digestion returned
with it. I have con tinned to u-e p ever Much, from time
to time, and sin recovering to., r ooted fullness of flesh,
•-..1 enjoy b: lyincy ind c'm itici-y • f splrito, that ren*
ders life’t.e'f an exil'd Ite det'eht.” He wished lt'to«av
thu* .nnch, fir the twneflt of those who an* suniiarly nf
fi- -d. We are no fiend to patent nontromr, but can
b* . lily p-cmamend this to our readers.— CosetckU L’niou,

\LUCBTA MARKET.
Weekly Report * Tueaday, P. M.
COTTON—The week just closed, lift* been rather an ac
tive one, although the market has been almost daily, though
slowly, receding from the price* current a week ago. This
has resulted, we think, .alone from a wont of confidence In
the article on the part of buyers, from the very general
conviction that the crop rill be as large, if not larger, than
j last year. Notwithstanding this, however, there seemn
considerable (HjwislUon to buy at lower rate*; and as the
1 plantirs, very generally, order sates on arrival, the market
• grarival’y y el* ato the demand of purchasers and there hat*
been a tolerable active btufinw f.-r thj week. Our quota*
, ti -n- to-day are, tor (i wl Mkldling 9 cents; Mid ling Fail
t»»9.'.i; FsUrVK b> 9&. Remarking that the market
1-qul:.-oft, our J i he. t quotations, therefore, ate fur a
very strict ’a 1. n—prices arr l*y no uic .ns firm or
will estaUhhoL The principal sale* are nia iv at 9to 9ft
cents.
i TRADE ANT) BOSIN&SB.—'The operationa In business
| gene* . ily, this week, have beeu very fair. We notice a
j greater number of planters and strangers in the city, than
for any previous week during the season. Wo are also
pleased to observe some country merchants mukiug bills for
I their f *il supplies.
I OitOCKRILS.—In the Grocery trade there has been a
very fair and satisfactory business going forward. In the
leading articles th re is an abundant supply, except, per-
J hape, Mdaaies, the stock of which is light, and prices are
firmly maintained. In other articles, we note no change
worthy of rem u*k, and Would refer to our quotations, as af
fording a correct index to prices.
GRAIN.—In Wheat and Corn there is no change. The
demand is confined to the wants of the city Mills und con
sumers, and the transactions arc limited.
BACON—The stock is ample, and as the deutand is not
large at this late stage of the season, prioes are barely sus
tained.
EXCHANGE—Sight Checks on the North continue to be
•old by the Banks at ft $ ct. prem.
FREIGHTS.—We note no chango ui the rate for freights.
The River continues in good condition, and steamers make
their regular trips.
Correspondence </ the Charleston Owner.
Liverpool Market.
LIVERPOOL, Oct S.— Messrs. Editors: —On the Ist in
stant, the date of our circular udvices per America, our cot
ton market was extremely animated, and the business of
the day amounted to 15,000 bales, closing at prices in favor
of sellers. On Saturday the buying continued spirited, und
sales of 1*2,000 were reported, holders obtaining very full
rates. Monday’s operations were estimated at 15,000 bales,
all classes buying with confidence, and in some instances a
partial advance in price of current qualities of American
was realised. The steamer’s advices were considered con
flicting in their character, and tended to check the extent
of business on Tuesday, as well as to cause a little irregu
larity in some quarters, the sales being confined to GOOO
bul a, at rates scarcely so extreme. Wednesday’s transac
tions were characterised by more firmness, and with sales
of 8000 bales; the market closed steadily. Yesterday the
demand was limited to 7000 bales, with offerings more
free, at the same time holders acting with confidence, al
though slight concessions have been made to effect sales In
particular instances. Os the subs reported above, large
parcels of other than American descriptions arc included,
and which have principally engaged J,he attention of spec
ulators. We coutinue our las* quotations, remarking that
the run has been on good staple cotton of the lower grades,
which are now relatively higher in value than the better
classes and with which the early arrivals of the new crop
will favorably compete, especially in the absence of a more
extended export iuquiry.
The total talcs of the week amount to 81,750 bales, of
which speculators have taken 81,190, mid exporters 6060,
und include 60,49i> American, of which 24,400 are to specu
lators, and 1270 to exporters. The import for the same
time is 24,784 bales, of which 169 are American.

To-day the market wears a quiet aspect, with estimated
sales of dOUO bales, (2000 speculation uud export,) offerings
free and prices just steady.
The report brought by the Europa, of a return of fine
weather, in a measure retrieving the injury occasioned by
the late storms and floods, giving promise to a yield equal
to last season’s crop, under which influence, coupled with
receipts at the South much in excess of last year, and which
caused rates to recede from previous quotations, are causes
to which must be attributed the diminished inquiry here for
the past few days. Beyond eng nde ing more cautious ac
tio.i, we cannot report any altered feeling, nor do we see
how such can well ensue, so long us the Same features exist
in regard to consumption, stock and supply. The crop
question is and must remain open for some time, but as the
seusou advances and the prospects are more or less favorable
-o likewise will the advices by each successive steamer af
fect our market. We are not so sanguine, ho a ever, that a
curtailment of supply would enhance the present, value in
inything like the same ratio that an overabundant produc
tion would have a contrary effect.
The last received American accoun s have caused buyers
of Goods and Yarns in the Manchester market to pause in
their operations. The Bombay advices to band in the ear
ly part of the week were, however, considered favorable
and altho gh inactivity at present prevails as far as new .
engagements are concerned, a l&rgc business has trauspii -
ed, wnich i ute placed Spinners ami Manufacturers in a posi
tion to maintain their ground with considerable firmness,
and in particular instances advanced currency lias been
established. A growing feeling that bad harvests in many
puitsuf tiie Contimi)t will not only curtail our supplied
thence, but draw from Black Sea ports much of what usual
ly iiuda its way to this country, has imparted a firm tone to
our Grain market, and during the past few days there ha?
be* n more inquiry for Win at, resulting in an a ivance o.
