ON tbe tint day of MARCH, 18S3. the undersigned will Imu. the first number of a Monthly Magaiine, under the title of "TIJK SOUTHERN ECLECTIC,” to be cora poeed, mainly , of orllv-al HfUctUam from the current /**- rl.dlonl /Atarature of the United dtaUt, Great J3i Ua*n, Fi afire and Gervumy. With this object in view, measures will be adopted to secure for uur use, the leading Reviews, Magazines and Journals, published in this country and in Lurope. These sill be carefully examined, and such portions of theircon tents, as may be best adapted to afford profitable enter tainment to our readers, will be transferred to the pages of the Kclectic. The Foreign Periodicals will be sent to us by mail , efi r+Uy fromthMr reap#tit* offltxa of publication; so tint the articles we shall select from them will not only he contributions from the most distinguished Authors of Lurope, but, reaching us without the delays incident to other modes of transmission, will be almost as / e*A as if written expressly for our work. Kxtractsfrom the French and German public* lions will be translated for the Eclectic by accomplished French and German scholars. It will be readily admitted, we presume, that the above •lass of Literature, when properly winnowed, embodies, on the greatest variety of subjects, the select productions of tbe best writers of the age. From the ample resources thus brought within our reach, we shall attempt to supply a growing demand, on the part of a considerable portion of the reading public, for a Periodical in which all subjects of yanaral and permanent interetts shall be embraced, and in which these subjects shall be discussed in a style and spirit suited, not only to the higher Intellectual but also to the more Practical and Moral nentlmmU of the people. In our selections, therefore, from the various depart ments of learning, those productions will be preferred which most happily combine Practical instruction and Kthical preempt with the hiahest Literary excellence. In relation to general Politics and Religion , we will en deavor to lay before our readers such facts and such dis cuodous as will afford them just and liberal views, without reference to any particular creeds, parties or sects. As there is no Eclectic, atthis time, in the l ohole South or SoulA-ioest, and us it ii our object, in part to supply this deficiency, the advancement of Southern'Agriculture, Southern Literary Works, Southern Institutions, and Sou thern Interests generally, will be kept in view as a pri mary consideration. A Condensed Monthly Review of Current Topics—Lite rary, Political, Religious and Miscellaneous—will be added, which we hope will complete our Eclectic as an epitome of general intelligence. It will be perceived that our work is not intended, exciu lively, for an y particular class of readers, but more pro |M»riy for all reflecting readers of every class. Ah inconsistent with our main design of general utility , all dry abstractions, unfruitful speculations, professional disquisitions, sickly sentimentalities, as well as all items of merely transient or strictly local concern, will be excluded from our columns. Several persons of distinguished ability will aid us in our efforts fkithfully to carry out the views we have thus pre sented ; and which we now respectfully submit to the con sideration of the public. A s we desire to issue only so many copies as may be ne cessary to meet the demand, we hope those who wish to procure the work from the beginning will subscribe with out delay. Specimen numbers will be sent gratuitously, when or dered. Postmasters, or any other responsible persons, who may he disposed to act as Agents for the Eclectic, will please let us hear from them. Liberal commission will be allowed. Tho usual discount will be made to Booksellers. Editors throughout the Southern and South-Western States, who may approve the objects and plan of our work, are respectfully solicited to aid us in placing it properly be fore the public. Those who may choose to publish this Attention to its more important fea ture*) and will send ns copies of the papers containing it, u» fivMo, every month, each number to contain eighty large octavo pages, in double columns, to be stitched, covered, and printed on good paper anil new type. 1 ’ TERMS.—For one copy, $3; for six copies, sl6. All or ders must be accompanied by Ho* cash. Arrangements have already been made which will render the publication of the work ceitain. Ail communications to be addressed, post paid. to <l2 JOHN H.

It has but recently been introduced to c the public, and found to be far in advance of all other t wheels, both in power and economy in water, every drop be- i \ tng eilectivc, and none wasted. This Wheel is not in the t least affected by back water. As we prefer them being j placed below tail water in every instance, consequently we ; jet every inch of head; they being entirely of cast iron, J * riinple of construction, are not liable to get out of order, 1 %nd are more durable than any wheel now in use.

Its simplicity, durability, and < uniformity of speed, are recommendations alone; but above all, its highest encomium is the small quantity of water it takes as compared with other wheels. 1 have been using one of Revoen Rich's Centre Vent Wheels, of three feet and a half diameter, and eleven Inch bucket, the discharge openings measuring 400 inches. I displaced that and put n one of yours of six feet diameter, with discharge open ngs measuring 270 inches, and your wheel run the same amount of machinery that the Rich Wheel had driven, and i here was a dlflfereuce in favor of yours of eight inches in he depth of water in the tail race. I feel no hesitation in ecommending your wheel to all manufacturers and mill wners, believing it is the greatest wheel of the age.

C. Macready, that have been told, the following, which haa the morit of being perfectly authentic, i* am ng those worthy of recording. In the fame hotel wncre Macready reeided du ring hie flrnt engagement in thie city lived a gen tleman who enjoyed the tragedian’ll friendship and intimacy. Mr. S—— had with him a eon, about four yearn of age, a bright intelligent boy. who be came an eepecal favorite of Mr. Macready. The §rcat actor, frequently after delighting a large au itory with hie eublime conceptions of Shakoe pearo or Byron, would with a eimple pleasure that did him nonor, ti*ke the little Tliaddy on hie knee, and in triendly prattle pees a half hour away. Thuddy in one of theee confidential mo menta, expreeeed e longing deeire to go to the theatre and eoe hia elderly friend act. “Very well,” eaid tho tragedian, “I’ll aek your father to let you go to-morrow night.” Accordingly the roqueet wua duly made and granted, aud on the night appointed the father and eon mode a por tion of one of tiie moat brilliant aaeemblageH that ever gathered within the walla of the St. C’harlee. The play wee “King Lear.” Macready never act ed more boautifully. The freniy and pathoe of the choleric King were faithfully delineated; and iu the grout atorm aecne where Lear ia expoaed to the fury of the tempest, with the lightning playing uround hia aged head, the frenzied gesture and eublime pathos of the great actor drew down tliundcra from the front of the house, which drowned tho noise of miinio tempest on the atuge moat effectually. Macready left tho theatre with the applause utill ringing in hia ears. We all have our little weaknesses, and the great actor could not feel entirely satisfied even with the ovation bestowed on him by refined ludiee and gray-headed critics. He wanted a tit bit of admi ration, a bonny bouehe, from little Thuddy. 80 on the following ‘day, he took tho first opportunity in iiis conversation with hia young friend to elicit hia childish opinions of his acting. “ Oh! it was baautiful, Mr. (Toady,” said the boy. “You wore pleased with the play then, Thaddy F’ aaid the gratified tragedian. “ Yea, indeod, Mr. Cready,” nnswerod Thad dy. “Now, what did yon think 1 waa doing, when 1 waa in tho rain, nud when it waa thundering and lightning so much!” “ Oh, I felt ao sorry for you,” aaid Thaddy. — “ You did that very well, though, Mr. Cready.” “Ah! when I waa throwing my arms about; you know what I did that fori” “ Oh. yes, indeed! and I wanted to help yon so much!” Macready waa very much affected and gratified with this childiah sympathy. •Well, oome now, give me your opinion. What wua I abont ? What did you want to assist me in doing! What waa I doing out in that atorm ?” “Oh ! I knew very well, replied Thaddy, warm ing up »t the remembrance of the previous night’s performance ; “ You inert eatchvng lightning fmgt!" — Pie. “Oh, what trials a poor widow has to go through sighed Mrs. Partington, rocking heraelfTn a melan choly way, and holding untasted the morsel of mucaboy between her thumb and finger—“terible trials, and oh! wfiata hardship to be executioner w an osoßtDj wtroro rnffwoloTißOplt) »*y)® ry way to overcome—the widow’s might—where it’s probe it, probe it, probo it, all the time, and the more you probe it, the worse it seems; the poor widow never gets inetice, for if she got* all she cWt get half enough. 1 had one trial of it, and if I marry again if it should so please Providence to order it I’ll make my pretended husband fabricate his will bofore ha or'dora tho wedding oake—l’ll take time by the foretop, as Solomon says.” Scaroitt or Silver Coin There are constant complaint* of the eearcity of silver. It ha* risen ] to quite a high premium, and it is difficult to get j change, under a dollar, except in the new three oent coinage. Inaamnoh as Congress ha* permit- I ted the debasement of onr metallio enrrenoy in . these three cent pieces, why should it not be ex- i tended to all our pieces under a dollar! The pro duction of silver from Mexico and South America is not likely to be much augmented; and, as the high purity of onr silver coinage a* well as the ad- i vanciug premium mako it an artiolo of trade instead of currency, wo do not understand why we might not very properly retain it in circulation for the benetit of the pebplo instead of speculators, by the aid of discreet legislation. As Congress seems to have little to do, wo propose its attention to this pressing and practical subject; and after it has increased the U. 8. coinage, and added about 35 per cent, to the country’s material wealth in curren cy, we hope it will pass and pay the French Spoli ation claims.— Salt.

Libiria. —The brig Zebra, chartered by the Colonization Society, will sail to day. Religious services will be held on board at 12 o’clock. Drs. Clapp, Scott and other clergymen have been in vited to be preeonted and participate in the ser vices. We are informed that the expedition will con sist of 140 persons, comprising emigrants from Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Missouri, Missis sippi, Louisiana, Texas and the Choctaw and Cherokee oountry. The deajrc to emigrate, and to trade with this 'flourishing Bepublio has become quite eager. During the last four days the society has been compelled to refuse to take emigrant's who had not applied to go previously. A large quantity of freight has been refused in con sequence of the vessel being full. Should there be applications sufficient to make it an inducement to send another vessel, the society will make ar rangements tor that purpose.— Picayune, 1»< inet.

All F.ast Tennessee, Western Georgia, and north-eaat orn Alabama, will find their cheapest transporta tion over this line, to and from New-Orleaus, St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Ac. Direct ship ments are now being made from St. Louis to Bast Tennessee, of refined sugars, syrup, molasses, white lead, lead, shot, soaps, linseed, castor and laid oils, candies, Ac., all manufactured there.— Why may not many of these articles as well be manufactured here! The important changes ari sing under our railroad improvements should at grace start into life the dormant energies and re sources of Middle Tennessee. Linseed, castor and lard oils, soaps, candles, Ac., should be as cheaply manufactured here as at any point in the world. And why should not sugar refineries do as well here as at St. Louis! We are rejoiced to find new manu&ctorie* spring ing up here constantly, but there is great room for more, and of almost every Tarietv. There is no country fuller of materials, than Middle Tennes see, for all sorts of manufactures—no oountry more capable of feeding cheaply men and animals so employed.

County Subscription.— We are gratified in being able to state to the readers of this paper that, through the efforts of Judge Alexander and Col. O. P. Temple, the Countv Court at its session on Monday, ordered a subscription of stock to be made on the port of Knox county, of one hundred thousand dollars in the Lexington and Knoxville Kail Bead Company, and a like sum in the compa ny organised to build a rail read between this place and Rabun Gap, by the way of Maryville subject to the decision of the legal voters es the county. The vote is to be taken bn Tureday, the ith of April. We feel confident that thia action of the Coun ty Court will be ratified by a largo majority of the voters of the county. It is s step so obviously nec essary to the prosperity not only of the town but of the county, that it muet elicit the hearty approval of all who are true to themselves, Can not the counties of Andeson and Campbell take a like sum of one hundred thousand ana the countv of Scot fifty thousand dollars in the stock of the Lexington and Knoxvillo Bail Boad Company! Let this be done and it will place the construction of the road beyond a probability. This road will add greativ to the wealth of those who reside in these counties by en handng the value of their lands and affording a ready cash market for the products of their farms. Being thua interested, we hop* they will step forward in their cmacity of counties, and assist In the great work.— BnaatUle Remittee.

Decision ml a Fugitive Slava Cara in Utn L. S. Supreme Conn. Biekard Pile, plain!if in error, vs. The people of the Mate rs Alinoie. In the Supreme Court of the U. S. Writ of error to the Supreme Court of Illinois. Mr. Chase and Mr. Dixon, for plain tiff ; Mr. McDougall for defendant in error. Mr. Jostice Grier delivered the opinion of the Court as loHows: The plaintiff iu error was indicted and convict ed nnder the criminal code of Illinois for “ harbor ing and secreting a negro clave.” The record was removed by writ of error to the Supreme Court of that State: and it was there contended, on behalf to the plaintiff in error, that the judgment and con viction should be reserved, because the statute of Illinois upon which the indictment was is void by reason of its being in conflict with that article of the Constitution of the United States which declare* l “ that no person held to labor or service in one State, under the laws thereof, escap ing into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, bedischggged from such ser vice or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such labor may be due.” And also because said statute is in conflict with the sot of Congress on the same .object. That this record presents a case of which that oonrt has jurisdiction under the 25th section of the Jftdiciary act i» not disputed. The statute of Illinois, whose validity is called in question, is contained in the 149th section of the criminal code, and is aa follows: “If any persou shall ,liarbor or secrete any negro, mulatto, or person of color, the aamo being a slave or servant owing service or labor to any other persons, whether they reside in this State or in any. State or Territory, or district within the limits and nnder the jurisdiction of the United SBstes, or shall in anywise hinder or prevent the lawful owner or owners of such slaves or servants from re-taking them, in a lawftil manner, every such person so offending shall be deenied guiltv of a misdemeanor, and fined not exceeding five nun- I dred dollars, or ioiprieo&ed not exceeding six j Bd. For unlawfully secreting a negro owina la bor In the Slate of Missouri, to ono C. D., which said negro had secretly fled from said State and from said C. D. 4th. For unlawfully preventing C. D.. the law ful owner of eaid slave, from re-taking him in a lawful mapner, by secreting the aaid negro con trary to the form of the statute, <fcc. In view of this section of the criminal code of Illinois, and this indictment founded on it, wo are unable to discover anything that conflicts with tho provisions of the Constitution of the United States or the legislation of Congress on the Bubject of fu gitives from labor. It does not interfere in any manner with the owner or claimant in tho exercise of his right to arrest and re-capture his slave. It neither interrupts, delays, nor impedes the right of the master to immediate possession. It gives nq immunity or protection to the fugitive against the claim of hia master, it acts neither on the master nor his bluvc ; on his right or his remedy. It prescribes a rule of conduct for the citizens of Illinois. It is but the exercise of the power which evory State is admitted to possess ot defining of fences and punishing offences agaiust laws. The power to make municipal regulations for tho re straint and punishment of crime, or tho preserva tion of the health and morals of her citizens and of the public peace, has never been surrendered by the States, or restrained by tho Constitution of the United States. In tho cxerciso of this power, which haa been denominated the police power, a State lias a right to make it u penal offence to in troduce paupers, criminals, or fugitive slaves with in their borders, anu punish those who thwart this policy by harboring, concealing, or secreting such pereons. Some of the States, co-termiuous with those who toieratcslavcry, have found it necessary to protect themselves nguinst tho influx either of liberated orfugitivo slaves, and to repel from their soil a population likely tobecome burdensome and injurious, either as paupers or criminals. Experience has shown, also, that the results of such conduct as that prohibited by tho statute in quostion are not only to demoralije thoir citizens who live in daily and open disregard of the duties imposed upon them by tho Constitution and laws, but to destroy the harmony and kind feelings which should exist botween citizens of this Union, to create border feuds aud bitter animosities, and to cause breaches of the peace, violent assaults, riots, and murder. No one can deny or doubt the right of a State to defend itself agaiust evils of such magnitude, and punish those who pervorsely persist in conduct which promotes them. As this statute does not impede the master is the exercise of his rights, so neither dues it interfere to aid or assist him. If » State, in the exercise of its legitimate powers, in promotion of its policy of excluding an unacceptable population, should thus indirectly benefit the master of a fugitive, »o one has a right to complain that it,has, thus far at least fulfilled a duty assumod or imposed by its oom pact as a member of the Union. But tbougli wo are of opinion that such in the character, poliev, aud intention of the statute in question, that for this reason alono the power of ( the State to make and enforce such a law cannot be doubted, yet we would not wish it to be inferred, by any implication from what we have said, that any legislation of a State to aid and assist the claimant, and whicli docs not directly or indirectly delay, impede, or frustrate tho reclamation of a fugitive, or interfere with the claimant in the prosecution of his other remedies, is necessarily void. Thisquestion has not been before the court, and oannot do decided in anticipation of future f*” 08 - . . ~ , It has been urged that this act is void, as it sub jects the delinquent to a double punishment for a single offence. But we think that neither tho facto assumed in this proposition, tier the inferrence from it, will be touDd to be erect. The offences for which the fourth section of the act of 12th -■Fahrun 1 7t.lL, Vjka|gjJtllf dclill 'CCnt spects from those definod by the statute of Illinois. The act of Congress contemplates recapture and reclamation and furnishes those who interfere with the master in tho exercise of this right, first, by obstructing or hindering the claimant m hia en deavors to seize and arrest the fugitives, secondly, by rescuing the fugitive when arrested; and, thirdly, by harboring or concealing him after notice. Bnt the act of Illinois, having for its'object the 1 prevention of the immigration of snch persons, punishes the harboring or secreting negro slaves whether domestic or foreign, and without regard to the master’s desire cither to Teclaim or aban don them. The fine imposed is not given to the , master, ns the party injured, but to tho State, as a penalty for disobedience of its laws. And if the fine inflicted by the act of Congress had been made 1 recoverable by indictment, the offence, as stated in i anv one of the counts ot the bill before us, would not have supoorted such an indictment. Even the last count which ohargos the plaintiff in error with “ unlawfully preventing C. I), tho lawful owner, from retaking the negro slave,” as it does not allege notice, docs not describe an offence punishablo by tho act of Congress. But admitting that the plaintiff in error may be liable to an action under the act of Congress, for the same acts of harboring and preventing the own er from retaking his slave, it does not follow that lie would be twice punished for the same offence. An offonce, in its legal signification, means the transgression of a law. A man may bo compelled to make reparation in damages to the injured party, and bo liable also to punishment for a breach of the public peace, in consequence of the samo act; and may be said, in common parlance, to be twice punished for the same offence. Every citi zen of the U. States is also a citizen of a btatc or Territory. He may bo said to owe allegiance to two sovereigns, and may be liable to punishment for an infraction of the laws ot either. The samo act mav be an offence or transgression of the .aws of both. Thus an assault upon the marshal of the United States and hindering him in tho execution of legal process isa high offence against the United Ststes for which the perpetrator is liable to pun ishment; and the same act may also be a gross broach of the pence of the State, a riot, assault, or a mnrdor, and subject the same person to a pun ishment under the State laws for a misdemeanor or felonv. That either or both may (if they see fit) punish such an offender, cannot be doubted. Yet it cannot be truly averred that the offender has been twice punished for the same offence, but only that bv one act lie has committed two of fences, for each of which he is justly punishable. He could not plead the punishment by one in bar to a conviction by the other; consequently this Court has decided, in tho ease of Fox vs. the State of Ohio, (5 Howard, 432,1 that a Stato may punish the offence of uttering or passing false coin as a cheat or fraud practised on its citizens; and in the case of the United States vs. Marigold, (9 Howard, 5*0,) that Congress, in the proper exercise of its authority, may punish the snme act as an offence against the United States. , . It has been urged, in the argument on bchait ot the plaintiff in error, that an affirmance of the judgement in this case will conflict with the de cisions of this Court in the case of Prigg vs. the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, (16 Peters, 540.) This wo think is a mistake. The question presented and decided in that ease differed entirely from those which affect the pre sent. Prigg, with full power and authority from the owner, had arrested a fugitive slave in Penn sylvania, and taken her to her master in Maryland. For this he was indicted and convicted under a statue of Pennsylvania making it a felony to take and carry away any negro or mulatto for the pur pose of detaining them as slaves. The following questions were presented by the case and decided by the Court: _ X. That under and in virtue of the Constitution of the United States, the owner ofa slave is cloth ed with entire authority, in every State in the Un ion, to seize and recapture hia slave wherever he can do it without illegal violence or a breach of the peace. , , , 3. That the Government is clothed with appro firiate authority and functions to enforce the de iveryon claim of the owner, and has properly ex ercised it in the set of Congress of 12th February, 17 sf That any State law or regulation which inter rupts, impedes, limits, embarrasses, delays, or postpones the right of the owner to the immediate possession cl the slave, and the immediate com mand of his services, is viod. We have in this case assumed the correctness of these doctrines: and it will be found that the ground on which this case is decided were fully recognised in that. “ We entertain,” say the Court (page 625,) “no doubt whatsoever that the States in virtue of their general police power, possess fall jurisdiction to arrest and restrain runaway slaves, and remove them trom their borders, and otherwise to secure themselves against the depre dations and evil example, as they certainly may do in cases of idlers, vagabond* and paupers.— The rights ot the owners of fugitive slaves are in no just sense interfered with or regulated by such a course; and in many cases the operations of the police power, although destined essentially for other purposes-for the protection, safety, and peace of the State—may essentially promote and aid the interest of the owner*. But such regula tions can never be permitted to interfere with or to obstruct the just right* of the owner to teclaim his slave, derived from the Constitution of the United States, or with the remedies prescribed by ’ Congress to aid and enforce the same.” Upon these grounds we are of opinion that the act of Illinois, npon which this indictment is founded, is constitution. and therefore affirm the judgement. , Judge McLean dissented.

Yet, though shorn of its glitter, their intent waa gallantly carried out. Tho subject of this pageant was a characteristic illustration of the great Russian Empire in all ita diversified nations, climes, castes and daises. At the head appeared “Nicholas” Ik his imperial robes, surrounded by his staff, and hia satraps, and followed by representative groups of all tho multitudinous nations, grades and people that form his motley, and meet extended Empire; spreading North to the Frozen Ocean, South to Per sia, East to the sea of Japan, and West to Sweden. The gossamer robes of the Asiatio Russian con trasted picturesqnely with tho furs of the Esqui maux dependent; while every degree of latitude seemed marked by the costumes of such a diversity of tribes from such oountless localities. In passing through the street* the Strikers were surrounded by a cordon of torchea—each member being attended by a light bearer.

In the great room of the Battle Honso the society received their guesto, and furnished the amuse ments of tho occasion—dolighting every spectator, sand seeming no losb pleased themselves individn ally and oollcctively—aud with most justifying causo. . ~ Had the weather been more favorable, the pro cession must have been far more brilliant. As it was, tbo display was highly satisfactory; and Bloch’s fine party band gave great zeal to the occa sion. But perhaps the greater interefit of the occasion centered on the far famed “ Cowbollions” who made their twenty-second annnal display. Soon after the dock struok eight the lower part of the oity became illumiuatod, and the gay sounds of music came floating on tho air. Preceded by thoir gay band, and surrounded by thoir torch oeurers, thoir illuminated banners and a hoßt of servitors, tbe ancient Cowbellionn came into view. The subject was the “Heathen Mythology,” re presented in statuary. Every figure was draped in marble whiteness, and the whole party looked as if the combined galleries of the Louvre, the Vatican, and British Museum, together with all private and pubtic collection* of sculpture, had formed in ranks, until the whole family of the gods, celestial, terrostial, infernal, sylvan aud oceanic, together with their many cousins among the heroes and demi-gods of the Greeks ar.d Ro mans, had congregated on Royal street. Jupiter Tonans, with his brothers Pluto and Neptune, his s<ms Apollo, Mercury and Mars—and all the hun dred cousins, and relations ofthat patriarchal hea then, marched in pablic view. In tho midst of the rnral deities, Pan, Sylvan nus, Silenus-tho feoeus, the satyrs, and wood nymphs, movod the symbol of the society—tho huge white Cow! belled—tenarited—and lighted up—the ancient effigy of the ancient orowd. The theatre, floored over, presented a splendid spectacle, when the curtain rose and displayed the society in oombined form. The classic eye gazed with transport on the well remembered figures that delighted its early vision; and when after wards the several groups were formed into tab leanx, and recalled to the minds of all tho sculp tured pictures that generation on generations have gazed on in admiration, the measure of delight in tho assembled orowd seemed filled. Leaving the arena to be enjoyed by the gay vo taries of the dance, the Cowbelliona proceeded to pay a few visits to some of our distinguished citi zens whose strong invitations their brief leisure permitted thorn to accept.

The Coffee Trade. The following circular of Messrs. White & El der, of Baltimore, respecting the movements of Coffee during the past year, will be found to con tain much valuable information to those engaged in the trade: Our Coffee market since the earfy part of the current month, has been characterised by a great degree of inactivity, not more nnnsnsl, however, than generally prevails at this season of the year, when the trading community avoid, as far as pos sible, creating new obligations, unless under cir cumstances of strong inducement. Notwithstand ing the absence of demand, either real or specula tive, holders had preserved throughout the month a degree of firmness indicated conclusively their convictions in a more faverahle state of things with the opening of the spring trade, and the in creased facilities for getting supplies to the West that will then be afforded oy the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.and by the channel* of inland eoin mnnication. They are strengthened In this con viction by the genoral oharacter of their advices from iiome and from foreign markets, by the un exampled prosperity of tho country, the abundance of money, and the onhanced value of most of tho leading commodities of trade. Tho importations of this year, at this port show a falling off of some 58,000 bags, w hilst tho stock now on hand doea not vary materally from that of last year. The total shipments to the United States, from Ist January to Ist November, ten months, (as we learn from the oircnlar of Messrs. Miller, Laicoy & Co., Rio De Janeiro, 14th Nov.,) were 774.986 begs this year, against 861,161 bugs same time last year, showing a deficiency in round numbers of 86,000 bags. The stock now on hand at the ports of im portation we estimate, will be about the same pro portionate deficicacy ; and it is known thnt sup plies in the interiormsrkcts, when it is distributed for consumption are on a very moderate ecnlo, holders derive additional confidence that with only the average consumption of the Inst year or two the stocks in the seaports will bo found inadequate to tho demand as soon as the avenues to the spring trade sre fairly opened, and the wants of the in terior become developed. Under the influence of these convictions on the part of holders, our trade adopt the prudential oourae of keeping aloof from the market, believing that they wll gain nothing by laying in stocks at the prices now a-ked by holders, in anticipations of spring skies.

The caief point, however, tbatis now made against cotton ia, Hist it is all a mistake i to Imagine that tbe present consumption of the i wt>rld fa taking off at the rate of three million bates i of American cotton inniiativ, besides thie crops of other countries, although Uiia iiupraraion waa al ■ first ersated by the rapid absorption of last year’s l £J?i* now discovered that al least 400,000’ bales, i if not half a million, have gone to restore the stocks, not only of ootton in the bauds of epiuners, . but of yarns and goods in the hands of mauufactu l rers, warehousemen anddealers oil over the world, 1 to something near au average; for we know they , had fallen far below an average during the prece . ding two years of scarcity and high prices. The . following is now tiie current estimate of tho con . sumption of tbe peat three years. Crop of 1850, 2,100,000 bale*; cousumptiou, 2,850,000; aud stock i threby reduced by 250,000 bales. Crop of 1851, i 2,850,000{ba1e»; consumption, 2,450,000 bides;slock farther reduced by 100,000 bales. Crop of 1852, i 8,000,0001 consumption, 2,850,000; remainder going to restore reduced stocks all over the world, Thi* takes n» account of the amount of view* of actual consumption, but even ot this es- I timate, what wonder that with every prospect of at “ We feel mSSsS3f^J7OTYnrlerfo?cot ton, on which, however, we have decided not to act at present, and we doubt not you will approve our course whon we explain our views. . We cannot believe that tho parties on jour side of the ocean, who are showing so muoh anxiety to get hold of ootton at any price, can bo properly ad vised as to the state of matteea at this side, in cluding the prospect of crop. It is certain there never was so mach cotton planted, and that with aseason equal to that of lost year, wo should have a larger erop. But not only has the season been equal to that of last year, it has boon decidedly better, from the time of sowing throughout to tbe present moment. Do you forget tho grave com- Slainto made last fall, ending in a post so early as 4th Oct. So serious and well founded did they appear, that, though not disposed to be very cre dulous, we were led to reduce our previous esti of 8, (J00,000 to 2,800,000 bales, and many of our friends, not usually easily frightened adopted the estimates of 25 to 2,600,000 as the extreme, aud sagely prognosticated that whereas the mistake the previous year had been in an undor estimate of the crop, it would that year be fonnd that the error waa in tho opposite direction. Last year’s crop, however, having reached three million not withstanding the various mishaps which occurred to it, lias fully' satisfied us that had the season been as perfect as this year has becu, we should have made 3,200,000 bales: aud allowing a very small per contoge for this year’s increase of cultivation, we arrive at millions of bales as the lowest safe estimate of tbe present crop. •‘So much for the supply. Now for the domand. You are the better judges as to tho requirements of England, and will correct us if our impression is erroneous, that the immcnseconsumption which wus induced by the low prices of the mw material in the beginning of the year, has been considera bly checked of late by the alteration to finer num bers of yarns, wliichinvariably accompanies an ad vance of price; and that the stocks, not only of ootton in the hands of spinners, but also of goods in the leading murkets orthe woild, arc considero- • bly larger than this time last year. Such certuinly is the case her, and, according to tbo beat informa tion we oan obtain, on the continent of Europe also. ’ According to onr advices from tho South down t» this morning, we could not purchase middling cotton to lay down in Liverpool under 5%d. per lb. So high a price thus early in the season, w« consider hazardous in tbe extreme, and we know this ia the general impression among merchants hero who understand tho trade, it being notorious that it is almost entirely by English orders that the Southern markets are" at present supported. Americans holding off for tho decline, which is expected to be considerable after the orders now in hand are executed, aud the extent of the crop ascertained. Twelve months ago tho stock of cotton and of every product of cotton was, as might well be cx pocted after two short crops contemporaneously with so active a state of trade throughout the world, reduced to a lower point then had been known tor years. Hence the enormous crop of tho past year was easily disposed of. Haifa million of bales were required to till up tliogap in the world’s stocks—short-sighted people called tho unprece dented demand consumption, aud built up a pret ty speculation upon it, even in the face of a second crop, whioh, were it not for this grand mistake, would frighten them at the mere name of cotton, or induce them to limit their orders to five instead ot ten cents per lb. You may depend upon it, we are on tho eve of very heavy losses in cotton, and we shall do our best to keep our frieuds cloar.

Fobsyth :—The object nearest to my heart since tho unfortunate disaster to the Bank of St. Mary ’s last April has been first to protect tho Bill holderfrom depreciation ; and next, to place its affairs in a position to resume specie payments and consign the Institution to an honorable sepnlehre. it was therefore painful to me to see that you feel it necessary to publish tiie fact, that a Court and Jury hod ordered some $47,000 of tho assets of the bank which were designed for the innooent and sufl'ering Bill holder to be surrendered to a public informer. Although I feel indebted for the very complimentary notice which you were plossed, in tbe same article, to msko of myself and ray efforts in behalf of the Bank—yet it will scarcely answer your desired purpose of quieting the nervos of tho timid creditor, which have been first excited to the highest pitch, by the aslsonding announce ment that an unexpected liability had been fixed upon tiie Bank to the amount of $47,000, giving a public informer to that extent a preference over all other creditors, by awarding tho first judgment.— Onr fears often control our reason, and many a creditor will read tbe first part of your artiole, and passing unnoticed your closing remarks, will rush to the Broker's office and toko anything that he can get for his Bills. When men become alarmed they seldom stop to reason, and if they did with your publication as tiie data upon whicli to base conclusions, I am not certain that it would help the matter much if any. They would say their bank has been deprived under the panoply or tbe law, of $47,000; and perhaps there are lew more cases of the same sort that will take from both Winter and the Bank, ali they are worth.— What mortal man can do ho will do; but if tbe court and the jury order a transfer of al! be lias and all the bank has to be paid to publio informers who is to pay me i If they can -thus lay their hands upon a part, they may lay it upon tiie whol:. This would be tiie reasoning of a timid man nt first blush, and your assurance would not always have the effect to reinspire oouildeuco. But I urn happy ia the reflection that their uneasiness need be but short lived, aud would be still more grati fied if I oould persuade tho Bill holders to patient ly abido the issue in she Supreme Court, to whicli august body the question will besubmitted during the next month. That the court above will re verse the dicisionsof the court be!ow f there is not a shadow of a doubt, noon the minds of the best counsel that Western Georgia affords. Bo it un derstood that I am not speaking for myself, for as a stockholder in the Bank, the recent decision has not caused even a momenta uneasiness, I speak soberly for those who hold tho liabilities of the Bank of St. Mary's. I wish to save their feelings and purses, aud therefore fee! it my duty to make this effort to prevent a depreciation of tho liahili -1 ties of the Bank. 6uffer me now to say a few words to tho merits ofthe case. The law under which the judgment - was rendered was passed in 1835, when specie wm I abundant and no necessity existed for a paper substitute. In ISB7, the suspension of the entire Banking interest from Maine to the Gulf of Mex ico, drove evory floating silver dollar and golden , eagle into foreign lands, and what happened to be left in the vaults of tho Banks, was safely lock L edup. Such was the dearth of change, and such 1 the public inoonvenienco which immediately sue ' ceeded the disappearance of the meiallic medium ’ that by one acoord from tho seaboard to the mountains, corporations and individuals of every . shade and hne. commenced the issue of these op , probrious shinplasters, and everybody received 1 i n d paid them out There was scarcely an indi ' vidual within the limits of Georgia who did not ’ with impunity violate the law, either in making or iasoing, or paying away some of these contemned paper devices. The Governor and his Secretaries Ihe Central Bank and its officers, the Judges and their Jurors, their wives and their daughters, high and low, rich and poor, white and black, all were in the daily ana almost hourly habit of violating this very law, which has been used by the public informers hoping to transfer the sum of $47,000 from the pockets of the Stockholders of the Bank of St. Marys, to the coffers of those, who to say tho least of it, have themselves doubtless i. been frequent and common violators of tbe self ~ same law ; and who in the particular instance - upon which this proeecotioD is founded, induced the violation of the lsw (if tbe law has been viohi s ted) by the presentation of one hundred dollars at the counter of the Bank, obtaining from the Teller i. the Bills sued on, under a plea, that they were i wanted for change. I might indite a few strictures i upon the actors in this case and the oiroumstances i by which it is snrronnded, bntoa this would be a i digression from the purposes of this article, I am £ perfectly satisfied to’leave theta to the judgment of a discriminating public. The lew makers haw the absurdity of allowing a law to remain on the statutes of the State, which iroro necessity every body violated, and which would be used by the designing to scourge the nnweary; and in 1842 repealed the act of 1885, so far as to exempt all persons and corporations, except the makers of the Bills. The Legisla ture of 1851, finding the law was being made tue of for base purposes, enacted s general re peal of all laws upon this subject—remitted all penalties incurred, and formed a new and more practical law to restrain the issue of small notes by individuals, at the same timo enlarging the power of the Banka to issue notes of less deno mination than five dollars. But tho oourt over ruled all the repeal of 1642 as applied to Banks, and declared that the informer nad acquired a right to the penalty to the extent of his half, which set the pardoning power of the State at defiance. It remains to be seen whether the Su preme Court will confirm the doctrine—that any other Legislature can inadvertantly arrest the pardoning power irom the Governor and all fu ture legislatures, and place it in the hands ot public informere, who, from the very nature of their office, must heTe a cupidity only equalled by their heartlessnees, and who could not be ex pected to exercise any more clemency towards the deserving than the undeserving, and who would regard the tears of distress from the widow and the orphan, aa heedlessly ae they would the puttering of the rain drops upon the roof oftbeir house. Should you review this article, my dear sir, I hope you will not forget that every hank in the 6tate ham been equally guilty—that by a similar procsea in 1887, every Bank in tha State, beg end baggage, specie, notes and ell could have been turned over to the public informer—do not ’ ; ‘ VOL.

Opera tion ofthe most vigorous nature are, up to the last accounts, Icing curried on against the Kaffirs, who, although repeatedly attacked, dispersed, persued, and killed in great numbers, are neither as vet re turned to submission nor driven across tho Koi.— Early in the month, following up hiß successful attack upon the Watorkloof, Gen. Cathcart pro ceeded in person to select a Bpot for the construc tion of a defensible post which should command the upper parts leading fom the Amatolas into the colony. Here he assembled a considerable force, aud placed it uuder the command of Lieut. Colonel Eyre, who started on the 4th, and on the follow ing day the information was received that the gal lant Colonel had already Burprised and burnt Uithaaldor’s laager, without any casualities on the part of tho troops. Ever since that period the patrol had been engaged in tracking and follow ing tho lurking foe. The main body of the Gaiko Kaffirs, in the extensive forests which skirt the Amutola mountains, arc almost destitute of am munition, ar.d in great want of food. Capt. llearncs, of tho 12th Eegimcnt, fell in the discharge of his duty, though not os a soldier should wish to full, in the field of open fight.— While a detachment of the 12th wore out, under his command, near Graham’s Town, tho Captain’s horse returnod to camp with blood upon tho sad dle, and on search being made, the body ot the unfortunate officer, cruelly mangled with two men of the 12th aud a civilian named Riley, were found at the clay pits, Boeqe miles from tho town It appears that Capt, JUcuruus, with three others, had been in the rear of the escort, when they were out off by an ambuscade and aavagely mur dered. The Governor has issued a proclamation, dated the 30th of October, declaring that the lives of any Hottentot rebels who may surrender to tho authori ties of Graham’s Town or Fort Beaufort will be spared. From this act of grace Uithoalder and 12 minor chiefs are excepted by name. Papers from Capo Town to the 20th of Novom • her have been received at Boston. The Kaffirs are considered as essentially subdued, but small parties are still fighting and plundering the colon ists. We quote a paragraph froiq the summary of the Capo Town Mail: “ With regard to the progress of tho Kaffir war thore is but little q( novelty to report. War it can now scarcely be termed, yet there is no restoration of peace. Hostilities, in any regular or oonneoted form, have forsome time ceased, apparently front sheer exhaustion on the part of the Kaffirs; but still the Gaika cbiefli refute to submit; still their followers lurk, in unknown numbers, in their na tive mountains, and keep a large body of the troop in inocssant motion, watohing, tracing, and, where possible, shooting them down; and still by every post we have fresh accounts of cattle car ried off in the night from farm houses, from wag ons, and even from militanr posts—nearly every such account ending with tne recital that one or two Kaffirs were killed, and part of the whole of the booty re-taken.” Spot on qn* Sen.—A writer in the Delaware Re publican calls attention to an unusually targe snot on the sun, which may be seen through smoked o» colored glasß. Tho writer adds: “By a rough \neasuremcut of the present spot 1 found its diameter to be about thirty-three thous and miles, consequently occupying an era on the sun’e surface of eight hundred millions of sqars miles, equal to fourtimes the superficial contents of our mighty earth. It serves to give some idea ofthe stupendous bulk of oar solar orb, when such a vast deduction may bo made from its luminous surface and any diminution of emitted light be imperceptible. “We have seen somewhere suggested by astron omers that these solar spots served to produce hot summers and mild winters; if true we may consid er our present winter an illustration.” Tux VusoiniaLfoislatcbe. —This body hae now been in session some six weeks, and if it has done any thing at all except meet and adjourn, espeoisl pains have been taken to keep such action from the pnblie.
