Cast. Henson sSr uch.— The speech of Cspt
Hudson at tha Jersey City Banquet wac adimra
bio. It was in reopouee to a toaet ceaipiimeij >;ry :
to liunself and brother officers, and ia tbne repr-rted. j
What ho says of the doc.eion of the earane, U.'at the
l*ying cf the cable was an utterly impracticable |
thing, will excite attention, and but an
other proof the great fallabiiity of science, when i:
undertakes prophecy.
I rise here to make an apology, as best I tnav, for
the eulogium passed upou myself and the other ah I
°ftoe Niagara. We claim to have done no
thing bot our duy (Cheerv.) And we are not
alone in that. The officer* of the English navy
have taken their whole share in the great work.
(Cheers ) And the Queen, whom you have jujs!
toasted, has and foremost with the A*.an
t l c Telegraph Company, in giving all the aid
throughout the Kingdom that ‘ay in her power.
(lud cheers) Iwm rejoiced to hear her touted.
She is ah honor to her tei and her elation— (cheers)
—and, perhaps, the beet sovereign tha* ever a&’ on
th** British throne. (Cheers ) Order- were given
when we arrived in England to admit v into the
dock yards, and to do everything that war* directed
or that we repaired done. They weut further than
that. Liberties and privilege* were extended, and
free acrene to their navy-yards whs given to every
officer of the American ships — (chsers) privilege**
auch as were not allowed to their own officers ; and
I believe that there in a feeling now in England and
through *at Ragland, train- favorable to America,
than we have ewr imagined or believed in this
oountry. (Cheers.)
Toy have evinced it in all ti - intercourse with
us —in their courteefoe and in their hospitalities. —
They Lave left no atone unturned, no measure un
tried, for the purpose of n ak;i<g us feel that we
were at home. And we were at ‘.ome. We knew
no distia tim, save that we had not our families
jpun -diately around us. Some time ago we sup
posed, and perhaps it might have been the < a--
wai a little jealous of America. She
may been jealous, but it was the name jeai
ouey as that which a gay widow manifests when
she tees paid to her daughter the attentions which
she de .ma due to her.jeif. (Laughter and cheers.;
The widow, nevertheless. loves her daugh'er, and
no England loves us. (Cheers.) Ido in t stand
here as apologist of Great Britain. I stand bore
simply to do her justice—to render to her that jus
tice whtth is h.r due. In relation to our own coun
try and o every thing we have had to do with her
people ii the work of laying thu cable, we have
simply dsoeour duty, and so have they. The ere
dit beioigs to the engineers, the officers, and the
men engaged in it. We have not acted sepai ately;
but as a ujit We knew no man as an Englishman
there, neither did we know any one as an A men
can there ij the duty we had to perform. (Cheers j
Gentlemen, we talk a great deal here of science,
it is to be honored and i honor it. It add- to the
happhiers of mankind and to the improvement of
the *ga in which we live, and is worthy of id our
hoxsage and praise. But we must not stop here
|>)ok at what has beer* done in the scientific world.
| n London, previous to our leaving the savaus as
H 4 aided at a yearly meeting gave to a member who
r* >/l a paper —the best that had ever been read be
U> aijmin— a gold medal. Do you imagine now what
tii,* rententa cf that paper were ! It was a demon
stration of t.be utter impossibility and impractica
bility of ever laying the telegraphic cah.e down
i Cheers and denfiivejlaughter.) Scientific men are
too apt, in their investigations and discoveries to
forget him who is the grea Architect of thi l'in
verse, and claim for themselves w'h&i is due to Him
(Applause.) I would take occasion here to say that
wuile we have simply done our duty, we owe our
success iu laying this cable—and I wish I could
send it trumpetdongued, throughout the Universe—
to an almighty aud overruling power. (Cheers.) —
We had evidences in and around us while we were
at the work, that we had God with us, and I hope
we will say on ml occasions that “Unto Him and
not unto us be all the praise.”
The Captain's closing words w *re taktu up, iu
anticipation, by persons near him, and rang through
the building as he resumed his seat . L >uct a .upro

For tf L e Chronicle 4* tien'ine 1 .
Ccmming Forsyth Cos., Sept. 10, 1858.
Mr. Editor: —We ask the privilege of correct
ing the state me or sos correspondent, “R s,”
who writes from S ’ Honville, Milton county, Geor
gia, under date of 25th August.
“R a” says: “;h Superior Court, held at
Cumming, Forsyth county, closed on last Thure
day ;no case of much importance being decided.—
The prisoners, now ,u j iil for the murder of Vaughn,
were eager to be fried til! their counsel remarked
to them that if they did come to trial they would ail
be dead and in S tan’s kingdom before three weeks,
when they cooled do .m, and with great difficulty
succeeded in getting their caae continued.”
W<* are the counsel for the prisoners referred to,
and will state the facts r? they occurred. When
the eaoe wa, called, by the presiding judgj, in its
order on the criminal docket, a motion was made
by as, at the vtquesl of four of the prisoners, (ail
who wero then present,) on their written affidavit !,to
continue the cause over to the next term of the
Court. The grounds for the continuance stated in the
affidavit were, first, that the prisoners had been
confined in prison from the date of the homicide,
and had not had an opportunity of preparing their
defence. Second, that they had not subpecued their
witnesses. Third, that they had important wit
nesses, the benefit of whose testimony they expect
ed to have at the next term of the Court; and fourth ,
that owing to the almost frantic elate of the public
mind against them, they considered it unsafe to
come to trial at that term of the Court; stating also
tbo names of the several absent witnesses, and the
facts expected to be proved by each. Upon hear
ing which, the presiding Judge, without one word
of argument, promptly granted the continuance.
In an indictment of this magnitude, involving the
lives ol five individuals, to the end that stri t justice
should be meted out to f be parties, and that the
public mind should uotbe prejudiced against them,
it ia important that no fact of the case, in its incep
tion or progress, should t.e misrepresented by
anouyiucus and irresponsible scribblers through the
press and as yoyr valuable paper baa a large circu
lation in this portion of the State, we have thought
it sufficiently important to the prisoners and our
nelvefl, their legal advisers, that wo should correct
ihe statements of “K S,” made, we have no
doubt, either on misinformation, o* more probably,
the promptings of an evil and malicious heart, and
to deuouuce them, as we now do, as unqualifiedly
false from beginning to end.

The Gold Discoveries on the Platte — -The

of this letter;
At the time of writing, fie had just returned from

Fanaticism and TtßiUitu.—The local columns
of The Rochester Advertiser contains the following
account af .conversion to Juda’sin, and the perpe

The people of tie >ol Newark, Wayne,

Bishop, who uas in this city some time since, preach

iu his profession at Newark, and has ao
tusily converted two citisens of that place, named
Martin and Rew, to the Jewish faith. Unfortunate
ly the Newaik converts are in the habit of being
converted. They were among the most ardent ana
faithful believers in Millerism. and when Miller s
tune for the eud of the world came, they were found
clothed in the ascension robes, ready to depart.
These men have recently become converts to the
Jewish faith, and have sk themselves about atoning
for tfctii vr.npidity while they were groping in Chris

thought they do to show their devotion to
their new found faith, vjn to practice the rite of cir

This cruel aud dangerous act aroused the indigna

corn, fine promise for cotton, and sweet potatoes to
iny amount; and altogether nothing to discourage
he tiller of the soil.” —Sashville Union.
The Trentou Journal does not remember to have
j een the crops of Gibson county look more promis
ing than they do the present season. The Cora will
prove an abundant yield, while the Cotton and To
bacco bid fair to be the best crops produced. The
-eason has been very favorable throughout, and
with the exception of the Oat and Wheat crops, the
armer has no reason to complain.
The Trenton Journal suggests to the farmers o:
Obion, Dyer and Gibson counties, ti e propriety of
report iny to their respective County Court Clerks,
by the firt Monday in October, the number of hog;
hat have died in their respective counties from hog
cholera during this season. The information may
be valuable, and to none more so than the farmer?
themselves, as it will have & considerable influence
upon the value of the pork crop another season.—
i’be Journal has heard it estimated that the loss to
Dyer county alone, the present season, from hog
cholera, will not fall short of two hundred thousand
dollars. This seems to be a large amount, but the
Journal would not be surprised if it is near the
■ ark However much it is, that paper is assured
that there is enough bacon saved in Dyer county,
owing to the epidemic creaking out early in the
season, to do the county another .year, even if
every porker should lie down and die.
The lion. Milton Brown, President of the Mobile
and Ohio Railroad, addressed the citizens of Gib
j <>n county at Trenton on rhe *2d inst., iu relation to
this important enterprise. Tfce Trenton Journal
says The speech of Judge Brown was very en
couraging to the friends of the road, who were
anxious to learn something of its condition, future
prospects and present management. From the
statement of the President, we are assured the Mo
bile and Ohio Railroad stands upon a better footing
than it did formerly, wilh its floating debt extin
guished and the full amount of iron purchased ne
cessary to comp etc it. The stock of this company
now is as good aud as sound as any in the bouth. It
lias ample means to put it through, and no prospec
five liabilities to oppose it for twenty-five years to
come. Judge Brown made the very pleasing an
nouncement that the gap at this place would be
completed by the time our next County Fair would
be held, (sth day of October,) and that the cars
would then bo running from Columbus, Ky., to
Jackson, Tenn.. This will be ample time for the
shipment of our present crop.”
Hog Cholera. —We regret to learn, from Mr. F.
M. Ballard, that this dreadful disease has made its
appearance in the first Dis rict of this county. Wc
also learn that it is prevailing in the neighborhood
of Cotton Grove. It has not, as yet, we under
stand, done any great deal of harm, but it seems to
he the genuine disaae, that has played such sad
havoc in many portions of West Tennessee.—

A Bank “Blown Ui\”—The Bank of Memphis
was blown up by gas, on the 6th inst. The Mem
phis Ledger, says :
On Saturday last, the gas burner in the iron vault
was left burning. Ah soon as the atmospheric air
within was consumed, (the oxygen it contains) the
burner went out. When Mr. Roach opened the
vault and lighted a match inside, the gas having
tilled the vault, at once exploded, sending him and
Mr. Gilleland with great violence to the front end
of the room, bursting out the front doors wbicb had
not been opened, aud atao breaking the heavy oak
en back door into fragments, which, strange to tell,
is immediately behind the vault. The vault itself
s uninjured.
’ The Murderers Arrested! —We have just
heard of the. arrest of the two Lewises, who mur
dered Sheriff Queener aud Ins deputy, Gibson, of
Campbell county, recently.
They were discovered in this county, secreted at
the house of a relative, by accident. A man casu
ally observed the hand of a man iu the crack of the
house, in the upper story, and perhaps, having
| some alight suspicion of the murderers being har
j bored in the neighborhood, he said nothing about
i ir, intending to watch for further developments.—
Paseng around the house carelessly for a day or two
.-itterwards, he made ot her discoveries, and was con-
firmed iu his opinion that he had found the offen
ders. He, accordingly, made airpngements for
their arrest. lie collected fourteen men, aud sur
rounded the house, demanding and offering a peace
ful surrender, or ajsurrender vi et armis ! The trans
gressors thought it the best plan to throw them
selves upon the country —into the arms of the law :
aud therefore gave themselves up and were con
veyed to Jacks borough for safe keying until the
next meeting cf the Circuit Court. —Knoxville Reg

of which Le has won. Beginning with Kerr L >w- j

Morphy has but one more party to w:c. They have j
played twelve games, of which Morphy ecore.-. eight, i
draws one, and loses three.
With Mr. Barnes, of the St. George . Club, Mr.
Morphy has {flayed 26 games, wmniug ninetee-j and ;
losing seven. With Mr. Boaden Morphy played
9 games, winning five, losing one and drawing three, j

which match we shall, doubtless, therefore, hear o.
in due course, Alorpby being to i
carry out all his undertakings. He Las haidly yet j
found time to play with the leading members of the j
London Ciub, uu we anticipate good battling I
yet with their most promising player, Mr. Georg-.: j
Medley, destined, we believe, to go very far on the
chess road to lame.
V\ © are glad to say Mr. Morphy h in excellent
health and spirits, certainly sio a ter in form than
when he iantied on uur shores, and much pleased
with the kind receptio ; i.e uc.s met with generally.
A few words, low, on the prospect of a match ba
i ween Morphy an J i\ir. S.auu on, respecting which,
note that, wc strictly aim at fact, dol commeut. —
Mr. Morphy has thrice challenged Air Staunton,
and the receipt o: his cartel has been thrice cour
teously acknowledged. The firs’, chahenge was in
print, in au American chess monthly, from the New
Orleans Chess Club, inviting Mr. Staunton to come
out and play on ids own terms, lor any stake up to
SO,OOO a sine. Mr. Stauntofcs reply iud.eaieda
great desire lo play Morphy, but a refusal to come
to lar ; and for tuis he could not be blamed. Mor
phy crossed the sea, and repeated h.e challenge, for
the eecond time, viva voce, receiving for answer a
polite renewal of Mr. Staunton’.- to play, but a
desire to have a “few weeks’” preliminary prac
tice, study of openings, end so forth. Mr. Alorpby
bowed assent, an he does to aim<;: e very thing, but
the few weeks and a few more, passing'without the
day being fixed, the initiative here being clearly
thrown upon Mr. Staunton, Morphy sent his lliird
challenge, in writing, and received a written reply
this w r e?k. But, unfortunately, this wjdien reply
is merely an echo of the old “delighted to piay, ‘
aud the rest of it; no day or even month fixed for
the encounter.
Morphy, perhaps, hsrjiy feels it delicate to send
a fourth cartel, but we think his straightway course
would be to do so, simply saying, “wiil yon kindly
name the day, or do you decline accepting my chal
lenge ? Mr. Morphy leaver all conditions to Mr.
Staunton, and w.ll piay tor any stake, from £l(J0 to
£SOO on each side. ’ A gathering of chess-players
takes place at Birmingham on Tuesday ntxt, at
which both Alessrs. Mo:phy and Staunton will be
present. Unless tne day anci iiour for beginning
ihe match are then fixed, the whole id smoke, and
the chess circle must draw their own conclusions.—
Morphy stands, iu relation meanwhile to Staunton,
something like our gallant Broke did in the Shan
non of Boston, when he Sent his well-known cartel
to the American captain of yie Chesapeake : “Your
flag requires a victory such ad you would gain in
taking my ship to give it the position iu the eyes of
nations you pretend to take up. I can remain here
but eight aud forty hours Lager, wanting as I do
provisions and water. 8o do me the honor to come
out at once and tight if you mean it.” L must al
ways be remembered that Morphy id here merely
as a traveler, and therefore cannot afford t,o wait
lor an adversary till the days of grace ltffil). If Mr.
Staunton declines his challenge, M r . Morphy will
probably run over to Paris to play liarrwnz, and
from thence on to Germany lo encounter Anderson.
i'roclaiiißliou of the Governor of New York—
Martial Law Her fared.
New York, Sept. 8. -The destruction by the
mob of the Quarantine buildings, has induced
Governor King of this State, to issue the follow
ing proclamation, it is dared at Albany, yo iter
day, the 7th inst.:
PROCLAMATION.
The deliberate and wanton destructfon by h large
mob of armed men, of the buildings, dwelling house
and hospitals at quarantine station, the property of
the people of this Stat e ; the cruel and inhuman
dragging forth of sick and disabled patients from
hospitals, respected always, even in war; their
barbarous exposure, without shelter, throughout: an
inclement night; th© general concurrence in and
approval ofthe-e viob ui acts by the people of the
county of Richmond, aud especially by chose who
reside in the neighborhood of t)i quarantine grounds;
the undistinguished and determined manner in
which all these outrages were committed, evincing
a total disregard and contempt of the laws . of ail
their obligations and duties as citizens and men—
all combined, present, in my judgment, a case,
which, standing alone iu its enormity and violence,
appeal directiy to the chief magistrate of the State,
whose duty it is to see that the lawn are faithfully
executed, to assert, and maintain ihe dignity of the
State, aud the authority of those laws so contemptu
ously and barbarously denied and trodden under
foot .
Now, therefore, acting upon the high responsi
bility of my oijfice, and desirous to vindicate th©
supremacy of the law s, I denounce, these act© of
arson and outrage as crimes of the highes infamy,
and for the purpose ot bringing the people of the
county of Richmond to a just sense <>; the enormity
of these crimes which they have permitted to be
perpetrated without any attempt interference
with or to punish weil known actors, m all these er
ribie scenes of violence, burning and bloodshed,
and to guard against .threats which are vet made
that chips lying at qua;a;.thfe’ shall be fired, and
buildings for the accommodation the sick- .vho
are now houseless, au well as wlg uAy ar
rive from infected southern port:, would be destroy
ed as soon as erected, and hr the security of the
cities of New York and Brooklyn from contagion
and pestilence, I ieaue this proclamation, and call
upon all eivil authorities of the county ot Richmond
j and upon each and all of the inhabitants instantly

And I declare that oy reason of the acts and pro
ceedings herein referred to, and the refusal of the
sheriff of the county of Richmond, although repeat’
edly notified that threats had been made to destroy
the public property at, quarantine, to take any steps
to prevent the a* * umo ation of three threats, aud
tli: absolute necessity for an adequate force to pro

Arrival ok the United States Dolphin
—The United States brig Dolphin, Comn&ride;- J
N. Maffitt, from Key eet, arrived at
at New Yojk on Monday, aud sailed the same day
for Boston, she having put to forward Captain
Townsend (of the slaver Putpam, captured by th©
Dolphin,/ vi) i hsrleeton. she captain wi'l

Dolphin, on her arrival at Boston, \riil be fitted out
(it i* presumed) for the Paraguay expedition. Her
officers and crew are ali well, and there is not a case
■ ot any kind of sickness on board. She expected to
receive U;e prize crew, but understands they hav
gone to post on. Tj)e Dolphir. hashed a most ac
tive cruise, and been duve from K*y West, wit’,
a succession of caim violent squalls.
The Tribune gives the following accoanr, of the
captain of the siaver:
Captain Townsend is a native of Rhode Island,
aud has a wife and three childred res.ding in Pro
vidence. He \s about thirty-three years of ag*% an i
a man of superior address aud education. He : 3
tall and well formed, and has prepossessing feature,
lie has light hair, large sandy whiskers, end i-i
scrupulously ©Aact in Lis drees. He speaks freely
upon the affairs of th© voyage of the Echo, n i
states that he was driven to engage in the slav,3
trade because of ill success in his voyages in legiti
mate commerce. After the Echo lett New Orleans
he states that he called the crew aft and said to
them that be purposed to go into the slave-trade-,
and promised them S3OO each if they would con
tinue on i'tis voyage. The Portuguese and Span
iards were probably a * are ot the nature of the
voyage before it was prefect©u. All f!je crew a< -
ceded to the proposition. Instead of proceeding to
St. Thomas, for which port she had shipped, the
j Ecfio shaped her course for the Coast of Africa. —
• When she reached Congo River she landed two
Spaniards., toe .dave agents, who went to look alt* r
the cargo, and ihe fj#cho proceeded to an island o;i
the coast for water and fresh £y<;vi v }cLo They
were chased from the island by a French brig o:-
war, from which they escaped iii o tog.
Returning thence to the coast, they took 4<o
slaves on board, 160 of whom died on the passag-
Captain Townsend then gave up the command f
; the vessel to a Spaniard, and shipped as a passen
ger on toe brig This is the frequent ruse in tfce
slave trade td avoid too responsibility incase f
capture. The Spanish captain having calculated
his reckoning incorrectly, the brig ran ashore in tfce
uigut at Abaco, in the Bahama Islands. Floating
off at high water, she proceeded on her voyage, and
at daylight passed Sagua la Grande, when she di.i
coverea the Dolpfiin making toward her unitor
British wolore.
Capt. Townsend is at no lo s to find excuse for
his act. He states that the wave trade is humanity
to the prisoners taken by the warlike tribes in Afri
ca ; that before they were not sold to the trade s
they were put to death in cold blood, and tnat tl e
captives in the Echo would prefer a life iu a plan
tation to the sufferings they endured at the ban- *s
of their enemies in the barraooons lie says that
the horrors of the slave trade, as depicted by wri
ters, are based upon the imagination, and are on y
true as regard the trade carried on by the Bpani: h
and Portuguese.
Capt. Townsend is connected with an honorab’e
family in Rhode Island. He distinguished himself
i in the war with Campeachy for his determination
| and bravery. His last exploit will bring disgrace
j upon an honorable ana tarnish the lustre of
j ms previous achievements, he i ioasewhat ce

there was no man in vbe community whose dealli wonl i

mencing life without fortune, he was, by his attention to
uot only to provide well for his little

tened to the parental roof, that a Father’s watchful kind
ness, a mother’s attentive care, and tbe ass il ions nursipgof
well-tried friends might seine degree the pangs
or death. He lingered a few months ; being mercifully
spared by an over-ruling Providence to wean himself
from the unsubstantial joy s, and the iDane vanities of the
life present, and to be drawn with a holy attraction to
the joys of the life which is to corr.e .is death-bed fur

The deceased leaves an affectionate Father, a doting
Mother, and warmly attached Sisters and Brothers, to
mourn his early loss, but “they sorrow net as tho>e

B ank OF America.—The Clarksville Jeffersonian of
the Bth has the lollowiug in regard to the Bank of Ame
rica :
This institution was compelled on Monday to suc
cumb to the extraordinary pressure upon it. For a
wees, the run upon it had been very heavy, but its
t riends hoped and confident y expected that i: would be
able 15 holdout. This it would probabiy have been
able to do. had not Mr. Davie undertaken to redeem the
notes o: his branches here We imagine that the Bank
of America stood a heavier run before it closed its doors
than was ever made upon or sustained by any Bank in
this State. The President seemed determined to face
me storm ami fight it out, but the concentration of the
circulation of the Bank at this point, and the exhausting
roctss of taking up thr branch uotes, while the means
provided for their redemption lay idle in the vaults of
the branches at remote points, finally compelled him to
The stoppage, we understand, is merely temporary.
The assets i’ the institution are repre.-ented to be am
p*e to meet all demands, and they will be realized upon
as fast a- they mature and applied religiously to the li
quidation of the liabilities. ‘though a considerable
amount of the paper o the Bank is left in the hands of
the v ‘maiunity, we hear no complaint against Mr. Da
vie. There appears to oe in this place and surrounding
country n abiding confidence in his integrity as well as
iu hi> ability to pay every and liar the Bans owes, lndi
v idual case-’ of uardshir no doubt exist, but we believe
the money is so scattered througa the community that
the present inconvenience is evenly divided
On Friday night last, when the Bank closed for the
day, it was reported (hi the streets that its doors would
not be re-opened, and taere was no little excitement in
consequence, but on Saturday morning when it re-open
ed, our busines- men, with a audible determination to
sustain the institution if possible, one and all, to receive
her notes :u trade. She then aaopt and the policy of re
ferring the holders of notes payable at the branches to
the branches for payment, and the run closed.
On Monday morning, however, the pressure for the
payment o the notes of the branches was so great that
the President determined upon the policy of suspension
until he could ieaiize upon the assets In his hands,
wLicn he believes will be iu a short time.
The present circulation is stimated at sixty thousand
dollars, though it cannot be exactly stated until reports
are received from the brauches.

COTTON.—The market was active, and an mated up

which time the rumor of the appearance of yellow fever
iu Savanuah (since proved true,) and the consequent de

quarantine regulations, rather checked the demand, and
the advancing tendency in prices has been changed to
a drooping feeling.

Foreign Markets.
LIVERPOOL, Aug 27, 1858.—A fair bus iness was
doing in Cotton at the beginning of the week but the
market became animated upon receipt of intelligence
that the dispute with China was arranged and a consid
erable business was ooue. As the stock at market is
however large and holders continued to be willing sell
ers the advance on American Cotton is limited to jd. per
lb., stained and dusty lots continue to be very difficult of
sale. Our stocks are still keeping largely above those
of last year. Brazils and Egyptians are without much
demand. Burata are iu fair request at former prices. We
quote Orleans fair 7id., middling 7fd.; Mobile fair 7 3-16d,
middling 7d.; Uplands fair 74d., middling 6|d.; ordinary
to good ordinary of all sjd„ 5= and., ®64(L, per lb. Sales of
the week 66 400 bales. The sales t o-day are 6,000 bales,
including 1,200 for export; the market is dull.
Manchester.—We have had a very active marset
with advaueed quotations for goods of every desciption
aud stocks are now much reduced. Yarns have been
also extensively dealt in, aud Spinners have obt ined an
advance of 4d. per lt>. Attention has also been oire. ted
to the momentary excitement iu the Liverpool market
for the raw material, but our position is looked upon as
a safe one aud that prices of cotton cannot ramble far
under present circumstances, this op niou is corrobora
ted by many orders received in Liverpool by the Van
derbilt from New York which are ‘‘to sell. ’
The weather has continued to be unsettled and possi
bly iu some cases some damage may have been done to
Wheat which remained unhoused in the fields; but it
cannot extend to much aud on the whole the harvesting
is progressing well. The agricultural markets have not
been well supplied nor very active, the farmers hold
mostly for more money, and are not pressing sellers. The
late supplies of the new Wheat at market have not been
in as good a condition as previously.
Though to day’s market was thinly attended, there
was a fair consumptive demaud for Wheat at the quota
tions of Tuesday last: white 6s. 2d®7 7d. and Red ss.
sd.®6s. 7 per 70 lb. Choice qualities of Flour are scarce
and the turn of prices is against the buyer; other de
scriptions are very plentiful aud of uncertain value.

Correspondence Commercial Advertiser.
HAVRE, Thursday morning, Aug. 26 Cotton —On
Tuesday last, when I wrote you per Fulton, (s) the sales
in our cotton market were 4100 bales, and prices as
sumed an upward tendency.
Yesterday, the impulse given to transactions contin
ued, and 4000 bales were taken by traders at f103.50®104
for New Orleans “bas.”
The Vanderbilt steamer made her appearance after a
passage of 10 days, and brought us New York dates up
to 16th inst.
This morning, the aspect of the market is satisfactory
aud there will be during the day, again a good demand,
as the intelligence from Liverpool announced a large
amount ot transactions with an advance in prices, yes
terday evening.
For other produce, no new feature. American flour
is quoted f25 per bbl. Old Hops are held at f45®50 per
50 kilo, duty paid. This is only an export demand, as
old produce is not suitable for our home consumption.

Kei Hold’s Street, Augusta, Geo,, where it ean be seen
in operation from the hours of s to 1 A. >l.,
and from *2 to 0 P. M.
The principle embraced in this Machine corresponds exactly with the old and! well
known process of splitting and dressing by hand labor, working direct ly with the grain in
the timber. It produces an article not liable to warp or check from exposure. This ma
chine was patented January sth, 1850, aud has already obtained a celebrity possessedJby
none other. Ths whole machine ean he built for one-third the cost of any other, and
will rive and shave from the bolt from 8,000 to 15,000 Shingles per day. For this pur
pose, it only requires a Two-Horse Power to work it, at the same time you can make any
required length, and it is adjustible to any required thickness or taper ; it is simple,
cheap and durable any ordinary mechanic can make it, aud a boy may work it.
To Shingle Dealers, Lumbermen, Capitalists and Speculators, this machine is a safe,
sure and profitable investment. We invite all to call and see it in operation. Any fur
ther information can be had by calling on the Patentee or his Agents, one of whom will
always be found with the Machine, or at the tllobe Hotel.

Mr. S. M. King—ln compliance with your request, I
take pltasure in reporting my experience in the use of
one of your Shingle Machines. My Machine is located
about 17 miles below Augusta, near the Augusta A Sa
vannah Railroad ; the material used is cypress ; power,
a small, portable engine, on wheels, which can bo oon
veuiently moved from place to place by a pair
of mules or horses. The machine works admirably, ful
ly up to all you claimed for it, aud far beyond my ex
pectation. This machine is operated by one white man,
(havingno experience* in the use of machinery.) aud
common plantation negroes, it turns out from 7,000 to
12,000 shingles per day (of 10 working hours ) depending
entirely upon the supplyof wood to the machine.

Mlt. James L. Coleman—Dear Sir: I have seen the
Shingle Machine of Mr. S. M. King in operation, aud
from what I saw of its perform a nee, 1 can safely say
that it is the best Shingle Machine I eve saw, doing itn
work iu the best possible manner, and be ng the simplest
machine of the kind in use, 1 kink it peculiarly adapted
to the successful manufacture of shingles or heading in
the Southern tales, where negroes are the rnoHt availa
ble operators ; and if properly attended, I believe it will
cut 12,000 shingle • per day.

Mr S. M. King—Dear Sir : Having had t he o.pportu
nity of seeing your Shingle Machine several times in
operation at Mr. W. H. Goodrich’s Shop, iu tikis city, 1
take pleasure in saying, that ot the many kinds of Shin
gle Machines 1 have had the opportunity of seeing in
operation, 1 never saw one that, accomplishes the work
as well, with the same economy, or one ho simple in
construction, or one so well adopted to be used by inex
perienced workmen. Truly yours,
