great variety of opinion* prevailing a- to too ex

There will be a fair crop of thia gre.L a'ap’e, not.

rapid opening of the bo’la ;ai and the high pfic( and •
favorable weather for picking, have b\- ‘ a!nted
planters to their very best effort:: to get. tl c< t- j
ton to market. This fact of so much more cotton |
getting into tbe market earlier than similar dates
of previous yearn, if it haPKof. alarmed many interest,
ed iu the purchase of cotton, hr a ct hast been a
plausible plea to circulate the idea of a large c:op
The very fact that planters are seeing as Ins’ a
they take to market, is proof conducive, t-us th
price of the article is the great inducement as well
as etiprulant to unusual efforts t:> pick out. This is
true, wit hin my own immediate acquaintance, and
the same ia ful'y confirmed, as to offer sectiecs,

Antioch,Troup Cos., Ga., Oct. ‘J.
Mu. Khitor : I not ce in your paper cccounti of
the weather and the crops in various flections. Al
low me to say, through iLe columns of your paper,
that the weather here at this time is very cry,
and it is very disagreeable travelling now on ac
count of the dud.
The crop of cotton in tics section will not be an
average ons. The crop once bid fair for a heavy
yield, but the rust has p ayed the wild with it eiuce
the Ist of September.
The prospect never was better for Peaa and Po
tatoes, and we have the heaviest Corn crop that
ever was deen iu this county. I have alt-need u
few ealea this fa ! l, and Corn sold at s•.’ per bbl, cu
twelve months’time. The Oat crop whs an entire
failure, but tberu are enough old Oats to enpply
thin ecotiou of the county With need next spring.
The health of this couuty never was h bj\ to
my knowledge.

Frost.—Memphis and Nashville papers report a
moderately heavy frost visib'e iu the r respective
vicinities on Friday last. The Memphis Bulletin
says :
“YVe learn that it extended fai South as Water
V alley, in Mississippi. At Corinth and Gicnd
Junction it appeared to about (he • nmo extent that
it did here. From a dispatch, rcitelv t and here yc.-b r

Crors.—Wo h?aro, says the Heaton (Ala.) Her
ald, from a gentleman who is nn experienced auc
skilful planter, residing near Benton, t’.ut ho has
already got out mere cotton than his whole crop,
either of last year, or the yc ar before, amounted to
and that his provision crop will be abundant. YVo
have heard no complaints from farm -iv! in this eec
iiou, and there is no tear of starvation here i > ~t
year.
The YVkathek and Cotton—YVe have bad
very dry weather for several week *, and ram Lae
been greatly needed. Cotton planters Imv- had a
good lime for picking, and the probab;! ty is that
the cotton crop will bo gathered aud sent to mar
ket as oarly ns possible, while prices acg od A
gentleman from Heard informed Ue on ‘ u . day
that, on his way to tins place, Ire u’.v but. few bale?
stored away at gin-houaea, as is often the case.—Ba
il range Reporter .
Thk Cotton Crop.—The planters generally
agree, that the Hatton id turning out much better
than they anticipated a month ag >. Til© weather
for picking has been due for the lat two or three
weeks, and if it. should contiun© e>.i tor a. lew w< eka
longer the greater portion of the crop will be lou .u

section will exceed the crop of lest year by atl
one tilth.— l‘u/askt Time*.
Tin- Incoming Cotton Crop—W t uhi u .
The weather lor the last tcu day.', in th section ol
Georgia, has been for meet part of the fnn,rl.
and pleasant. The cotton crop is open ,- \ try
finely, and planters busily engaged m g*t t , 1. •
silvery fruit. In some places the cot :• n < rop ‘
be short, hut in general it will yield a fmlc.id hi.r
average turn out. As considerable quantities ot
fresh lands have been opened since last sc-.fon, the
cotton crop in Southern Georgia may be espeit- a
to be somewhat increased also ov. r and ah .ye the
production otany year previous to this.— Thomas

| Mr. Editor The coajdact’y increasing value j
I of the lauds ia the immediate neighborhood of Aa
j gusit, for emallfarmh market Jjardcn./, and cr
i ebards, has l/d u.e to examine some of their geo-
I lcgica! features, and I offer the following rough
{ sketch of them for publication in your paper, trust
ing it will atlruct the attention of someone more
competent and more at leisure, who will take up
the subject arid give us such full detaiis and tufor
i /nation respecting them, as will be useful to such of
! your readers as may be Interested ia selecting eait-
I able locations for the purposes mentioned.
Ia the neighborhood of the city •! Augusta, there
are. in my opinion, live distinct geological forma
tions : The tirat, cr lowest, consists of the original
cr primitive rockt; the second ia a primitive di,
luvtai; the third, is a modem dilaviai; the fourth
alluvial ; and the C:th, a swamp formation.
Toe original rock formation is generally overlaid
by the c-.-ere, but in cuts, aa in the Augusta Canal
and the Railroads, aud on the river banks and
branches, they have been to eome eiteut. uncover
ed. TaUin/the range of the Savannah river, and
Canal, we find an extensive stratum of gneiss,
which terminates near lied a creek ; on ttih there
Is a thin stratum of mica elate, which uuderiays
several other. trata, varying from taieoae to chlorite
slate, all of which, however, I consider as the tal
cxe rock formation.
i Tee gneiesdays In the general direction, northeast
and southwest, cxd its dip, aa well so the dip of the
rock overlyii t it. ia to the southeast, at various
angles, g- ueiaily from thirty-five to forty live de
crees. Toe gnti >s is penetrated by veins of granite,
or the constituents of granite, which crop out and
have been quarried, but near Augusta the quarries
are not extensive aa the veins are narrow, and the
indurated alone in them fit for building purposes is
small in quantity compared with the uuiudnrated-
The Granite Alins are made of this stone, queried
on the river about seven miles above tie city. Be
side the g; unite, the gneiss contains small beds o f
epidote, and to traversed by numerous veins of
feldspar, containing gamete. Pyritous copper, sul
phuret of iron, aud atones of iron and of manganese
have been found in it, but so far no regular metallic
vein". The gneiss is not uniformly indurated ; in
j LciLy places it is harder than granite, and as it splits
easily -n one direction it becomes a a tong and du
rable building stone for rough works and for road
(making. The hills nt Bed’s creek, on the Canal,
| would ass rd an inexhaustible, supply ; and, ccn
( si-jerir g the etj-.e wih which it can be quarried, and
li . facility of carriage, by the Canal, it appears
| t-trauge that it has not been used for this purpose on
! the streets in Augusta instead of pine plank.
Ti e mica slate is only a few leet thick, and aa it
: . .'s “bound,’ (as the quarry men term it,) it can
not be easily qutirried, otherwise it would be ob
tainable in large slabs, which would be useful for
paving sidewalks. At the locality mentioned, it
does not contain any imbedded minerals, or metalic
ores. Just above the stratum of mica slate, there
appears to be a bed of gneiss aud lydiau atone, but
the ma-iH is so irregular that it is not easy to deter
mine whether it belongs to the underlying and more
extensive stratum, or to a formation subsequent to
that of the mica eiate. The lydian stone is black
and brown, and very hard—it is stained with iron
and contains sulphurs! of iron.
The taloose rock formation begins here, with a
slate of gray color, somewhat resembling roefiog
shite, but at a short distance runs into well defined
ta oose Blato, as at the out crop at Mr. McAlpiu’s
From this point, epidote and chlorite begin to pre
vail as a constituent, and the rock becomes epidotio
gneiss and chlorite slate, with layers interpoeing,
from which both these minerals are absent. Tbe
epidotio gneiss and chlorite slate, both occur a.
lire’s creek ; aud from the boring of the Artesian
well on Greene, bet ween Campbell and Jackson
s: reels, iu the city, it appears that they lay under
it. The dip oi this stratum ia to the southeast, from
near Bed’s creek to Harrisbnrg, where it becomes
nearly horizontal, but from that point to Hawk's
Gully it iB reversed —the dip at the latter place
being southeast, a’, au angle of twenty-five to thirty
degrees. In the third level of tbe Canal, near Mc-
Kinne street, the dip if nearly vertical. Cubiccrya
tala of hepatio sulpburet of iron are found in a bed
near Bock creek, and cubic crystals of sulphuret of
iron are found at But's creek and at the Arsenal or
Ijongbtreot branch. No other metal or metalie ore
has been observed. In the chlorite state, at Bae’s
creek, a small bed of marble aud veins filled with
avragonite were found in one of tlrs quarries. Iu
the same place it was noticed that layers of silicious
slate occurred in tiieir beds, and that there were
numerous veins of white quartz. This stone, ex
cept the lower part, at McAlpin’s, is too soft for
building purpose -, but it is desirable when laid in
mortar or cement •
All of them primitive rooks will ba valuable to
the farmer in proportion to the expense of quarry
ing and the necessity of constructing fire-proof and
durable buildings ou tbsir premises. They do not
form a -oil for planting where they crop out and
have not furnished the material of the soil above
them, but. their posiiiun must be a matter of grtat
internet, especially a? a substiatum by which the
temperature, moi lure aud electical condition of the
soil above them is regulated.
Oa the original rock3 or skeleton of the earth
sketched iu a preceding paper, there are extensive
beds of gravel, sand aud clay; their color, as well
,i3 other peculiarities, indicate that they were form
ed at different times, aud that one set of them ia of
much greater antiquity than the other. Ths oldest
beds consist of water work quartz and other mine
rals derived from the original rocks of tha hills or
mountain spurs of the Blue Itidgn. The beds of
gravel in eome places are mixed with a white clay,
which appears to be decomposed felspar, and with
sen’.os of mica, and in some instances these beds
are indurated eo aa to form white freestone, as at
the Camming aud other quarries near Augusta-
Th ey are generally covered with beds of grey or ach
ccioied cl.-.y end loam, aud sometimes with red and t
i white clay iu separate beds or mixed. luseveral ;
J places the grave l, -and and clay of this formation ia of {
! considerable depth, aa uiay be seen in Hamburg and 1
’ at. the Saud Bar Ferry. The peculiar clay over
i lying tbe gravel may be seen in Augusta, and at !
i various places ii tbo plains common to the lower ;
portions ol the valleys of Cupboard, Roclty aud i
Uutlsr’u oreeks, and iu some of cute of the Georgia {
Kailroad. I
With the exception of the freestone baforo men- i
tinned, this ‘formation doea not afford any stone ,
suitable for building. The soil upon the clay is j
gi nerally cold and known as crawfish soil, but by j
drainage and proper cultivation it, may be made
productive.
The more recent diluvial rests upon the primitive
rocks and the older diluvial. It consists of gravel
aud sand, generally of a brown color, and beds of
red clay and loam. It ie easily distinguished from
the older diluvial, aa it always occurs as a dry
ridge of some elevation, and is found at aud near
the summits of the highest hills ia the neighbor
hood. In some instances, as at Summerville and at*
Golden Camp, the sand is indurated or cemented
together by an oxide of iron, and forms beds of
ferruginous eaud stone. The day is always red,
but when reduced by eand to loam, the color ia
brown, and is often called “muilatto.”
Iu the gravel of this formation at Kae’s creek,
and in the 3d Level of the Canal in the city, Bmall
particles ol gold have been found with iron pyrites,
eyanite, gurnet, ferrugiuous and epidotio sands. Iu
some of the bads of loam the “Georgia pil s” are
found, wnich are oxide of manganese, and in eeve
| rai places, the sand is mixed wi,h the black oxide,
i forming small beds—a few specimens of pitch iron
oru have also been found, but these, w ith the oxide
! of manganese, are generally in the sandy layers be
tween the clay and gravel. Iu the 3d level of the
Canal, near Marbury street, under a bed of about
fourteen feet in depth of clay, resting upon the
primitive rocks, specimens of wood were found,
which appeared to be nearly converted into lignite.
No animal organic remains have been dUcoverid
in this formation.
The ferruginous sand stone has occasionally been
used in the construction of pillars and chimneys,
but no regular quarries have been opened in it.—
The loam is used for making bricks, and with pro
per care, the bricks made of it are of superior qual
ity. Iu the cut of the first level of the Canal above
Eae s Creek, a sandy loam occurs, which is an ex
cellent material for making road beds. For farm
ing purposes, the ecil upon this formation is gener
• ally superior to that upon the more ancieut dilu
vial ; it appears to be warmer, and that called
■'muliatto” is quite productive. As before men
tioned, it ia the snbsoil of ridges, and these are gen
erally occupied by a growth of oak and hickory.
The alluvial formation ie apparently of more re
cent or gio, and is the result of the action of the
waters if the Savannah River. At the bead of the
Cana! a strip of alluvial begins, which gradually
widens to tte Kennedy branch, on Mr. McAlpin s
plantation, and terminates at Rock Creek, at Judge
Warren’s place The area is about two hundred
acres. From Rock Creek to a short distance be
low Warren's Spring on the river bank, the alia vial,
is almost entirely absent; but at the latter place it
’ begins and widens out to Rae's Creek, forming a
considerable track, but it Is guliied aud liable to
overt!.>w the gullies, however, are gradually filling,
and if undisturbed it wiil most probably rise to such
height in time, as willsecure it for planting. From
Rae's Creek to the old Arsenal lot, the alluvial is
of some extent, and at the latter place it begins to
extend in width, and sweeping to the south at
Hawk's golly, forms the plain of Augusta. Its
southern limit is defined by the line of the 31 level
of the Caua! through the city, and thence it passes
into the farm of Mr. Charles DeLaigle, and sweeps
out to Col. Cianton s, on Butler s Creek.
A large portion of this last mentioned tract of
alinvial, is liable ‘o overflows, and it has therefore
been protected by embankments against all but
extraordinary freshets in the river. As the value
of this traot increases, not only from its inexhaust
able fertility, but from its contiguity to the city,
and the faculty of cheap transportation of its pro
ducts to a market, there is no doubt but that this
plan of protection wni be so extended as to protect
tte whole of it even from extraordinary freshets.
ITae changes in this formation, even within the
memory of tome of our oldest inhabitants, is a mat
ter of some wonder to superficial observers, but of
considerable interest to the geologist, for it will be
seen that the river has changed its bed. and in
places formerly a channel for boats, there are now
corn fields and that points have been cut from the
territory of our neighbor State which at first were
islands, but are now annexed and fortr part f the
aril of Georgia. Some portions of this track are
swampy and covered, except in very dry seasons,
with water ; bat as the process of tiding up is con
s’antly but slowly progressing, it is expected that
the whole of it will in time be avai able to the plan
ters, especially under a judicious plan of embank
ment, by which the filling up may be greatly fhciii
tated.
The swamp formation montionod as a geological
formation in a previous paper are these swampy
tracts on the margins of creeks and branches, in
| tbe neighborhood, and are quite different trom the ,
J swamp tracts cf the alluvial formation beiow tze |
j city. Onsof these swamps extends along theta c j
ot the Sand Hill, from the Turknett Spring roao, .
near its intersection of Carnes* road, nearly to the !
Washington road above Harrisburg. Tbt ‘ Hicko- j
ly ridge,” which is traversed by th? Turknett Spring
road, separates this swamp from another, which be
gins near the residence of Mr. George Lima., and
extends to the Boring Mil!, and thence to Turpin’s
Mill Pend. There are others of more or leas extent
on all the branches of Hawk's Gully, Rocky and
Butler s Creeks, as well as on Cupboard Creek
branch, between the ilii.edgev.lle road sud the
Georgia Railroad. The Summerville Piankroad
crosses the first mentioned swamp, on Sir. A. Mar
tin's aud Mr. Carmichael’s lots, aud it ia there about
fifty feet above the plain of Augusta. It appears
to be a bed of the roots of trees, aud plants of small
er growth, mixed with a black mad. When dried,
it has somewhat the appearance of peat. The natu
ral growth upon it is bay, black-berry and china
briars, with patches of cane and stunted pines. I;
rests upon the ancient diluvial, and is generally cold
and is not us productive without mauure as its gene
ral appearance indicates. Under proper manage
ment, including deep drains, as at .Mr. Martins, it
p.oduces good corn, and it ia thought that an tlkai;
applied to it would neutralise its acid and facilitate
tbe decomposition of the vegetable matter, aud
make it highly productive.
&lam aware that I have given you aa Imperfect
iketcii in the preceding article; for a complete
geological outline, would require careful examina
tion, aud consequently, much more time and reflec
tion than i can afford at present; my main object
is to show the utility of geology to practical mat
tern, trusting, as heretofore stated, that it will be
taken up aud completed, by a more competent hand.

Physical Training of Children.
Mr. Editor :— The subject to which I propose to
a'iuie on this occasion, is one which claims our
most serious consideration. lain sure of enlisting
the attention of the tender and ra’icnal mother,
while I shall endeavor briefly to point out a serious
evil ia the prevailing system of Physical Education.
The more I reflect upon the situation of a mother,
the more am I struck with the extent of hsr powers,
the inestimable value of her services, and the un
limited influence which she exerts over her children.
In the language of love, women are called Angela;
but thia is a weak compliment; they approach
nearer to our idea of diety, (and I wish not to be
considered irreverent) for woman not only creates
but sustains the creation and holds in her hand its
future destiny. Every man is what his mother has
made him, and to ber is he indebted for the greatest
blessing ia life, a healthy and vigorous constitution.
But while 1 thus speak of the dignity of female
character, it must be borne in mind, that by the
term mother, I do not mean simply woman, but it
is she who faithfully discharges the sacred offices of
a parent; she, whose chief concern, is the well be.
ing of her offspring, and who feels all her cares am
ply repaid by its physical and mental growth and ac
tivity. No subsequent endeav. rs can remedy or
correct the evils occasioned by a mother’s negli
gence, and tbs skill of tii3 Physician is exerted in
vain to repair what she, through ignorance or inat
tention, may Lave unfortunately blasted.
Thousands of children die every year, the victims
of disease contracted at schools, and the health and
constitutions of still greater numbers are irretrieva
bly ruined by the depraved example of their older
associates.
i am aware that children are tond of “ running
wild,” aud require the most watchful care to keep
them out of mischief; but will any mother urge this
as a reason why she should confine, as it were, in
stocks, that restless activity which is wisely design
ed by nature to promote their physical and mental)
and I may add, moral welfare ? Will she, from a
wish to save herself trouble, or to gain time for
other business of infinitely less importance, send
her little prattlers to school under the silly pretense,
pardon the expression, of “ keeping then: out of
harm's way?” It is highly improper that a child
should be one of the fixtures of a school room, in
the midst of noxious emanations, it may be, for the
six or seven hours a day which thould be spent in
the open air and cheerful exercise. Should it be
said that children are sent to echool prematurely
from a becoming zeal tor their early improvement-
I need only repiy that learning, however desirable,
io too dearly bought, which is obtained at the ex
pense of the constitution. Betides, the mind can
not bo well cultivated in such a manner. Confine,
inentand bad air are not less injurious to the mind
than to the body, and nothing so effectually retards
the growth of the intelligent faculties as premature
menial application. Send your child to ocho'ol in its
nurse’s arms, aud you will either make him au idiot
or give him such ail unconquerable disgust for
books that when he attains to that age when he
should be deeply interested in the pursuits of know
ledge, ho prefers rather to luxuriate in indolence
than in the cultivation of his mind or heart. This
is not mere idle speculation, it is a truth and the
force of it will be appreciated by every parent of
experience and discriminating judgment.
Until a child has arrived at his eighth or tenth
year— I should prefer the latter —he should be taught
at home. Perhaps the beet book he could study is
tbo great volume cf Nature. This in legible at
every age, and is ae gratifying to a child as to an
adult, nay, more so. It abounds with the most de
lightful and needful information, and it is equally
conducive to pleasure, health, knowledge and good
morals. I would not be so presumptuous as to deny
that children may be beneficially instructed in their
infancy. Ou the contrary, lam of the opinion, that
as a child cannot be too young to learn, his mind
should be put under proper training as eoou as be
can know a mother's voice—a mother's love ; for
it is the mother alone who can fully comprehend
the physical aud mental requirements of her child,
j Some of our most esteemed and valued citizens are
( indebted for their earlier intellectual advantages to j
i tbs assiduous care cf an affectionate mother,
j Hut if a child must be sent to school before be |
j has learned to appreciate instruction, and before he f
j is physically fit to endure the fatigue of study, send
) him where he shall not be confined longer than
> three hours a day, and to a teacher who knows how
i to govern without, the rod. This ought ‘to suffice
j the most exacting parent.
i The early morning hours should be passed nt
I play. Those of the afternoon, at rest, for tbs sys
! tem, in children, perhaps more so than in adults,
i requires repose from the labor which akaarty din
ner has imposed upon thoir little stomaohs.
A thousand absurdities present themselves to ray
mind in reference to the prevailing n ide of educa
tion, but I must torbosr extending these desultory
remarks, for fear of trespassing on the patience of
the reader, if I should be so fortunate as to have
one.
Should these few thoughts, Mr. Editor, be deemed
worthy a place in the columns of your invaluable
paper, I may on seme future occasion, with your
permission, have something more to say on this, to
me, very interesting topic. VV. S. >l.

Tun Virginia Democracy in a Stew.—Accor
ding to accounts the Virginia Democracy must be
the” most inharmonious family extant. The Rich
mond Whig complains of the immense amount of
labor it has on hand in reconciling disputes and
keeping them from tearing out each others eyes 1—
Some idea of the muss may be formed from the fol
lowing paragraph, with which the Whig opens a
peace-making article : — Sav. Rep.
“We have our hands full all the time. Before wo
get through with adjusting one quarrel among the
“faithful,” we are called upon to interpose our good
offices in attempting to reconcile another. We
Verity believe that the Devil himself has taken
bodily possession of all the Democratic editors and
politicians in the State. And we believe that at
east ten or twelve of the biggest and most malig
nant sort have got hold of tiie South and the En
quirer. It is impossible for us, with all our inimita
ble coaxing and assiduous paiue-takidg.to persuade
them to agree in anything. If one of them were to
happento say that Christmas don’t come but once
a year, the other would immediately respond, “tt
doe*’—and then would follow a three months con
troversy on the subject. Were the rain pouring
down like it did in the days of the deluge, and one
should blandly say ‘it rains theot her would snap
pishly reply, ‘it don’t.’ And so, again, over this
slight difference of opinion they would begic to
quarrel and bang away at each other. Under such
extraordinary circumstances, our position, as peace
maker between them, is exceed ugly embarrassing
and arduous, as the public can perceive.’’
Vegetable ok Truck Trade.—Tiia accurate
and aecoinpiiehed Clerk of the Merchants’ and Me
chanics’ Exchange, has extracted from the shipping
lists of the varfous steamers, and other authentic
sources, the number of barrels, boxes and baskets
of peas, cucumbers, beans, tomatoeß,, radishes,
rhubard, asparagus, apples, pears, peaches, &.C.,

Employment ce Fraud to arrest a Mas Il
legal—A case of gome interest was decided by
Judge Ellsworth, cfHartford.lastweek. It appears
that Mr. George A. Hill, of Boston received two
anonymous letters, telling him if he would go to
Hart”ora he would hear something to his advantage.
On t.,e 15th he went, and was immediately arrested
and de ivered to the Sheriff, who released him on
bail, Mr. Hiil is agent for several parties in a suit
pending in the supreme Court at Hartford against
F. Curtis A. Cos., to prevent their discharge in bank
ruptcy. Tire wri’s upon which he to arrested
were put into the officer’s hands by Curtis 4c Cos. Mr.
Hill applied ts Judge Ellsworth for a writ of habeas
corpus, claiming tbat he was not legally arrested,
owing to the fraudulent means which were used to
enveigie him to Hartford, and aiso that he did not
owe Curtis Ac Cos., anything, exhibiting a receipt in
fuii for ail demands, signed by F. Curtis & Co.—
Judge Ellsworth, witt.uut going into the merits of
the case as to the indebtness, ordered Mr. Hiil to
be discharged, on the ground that fraud was em
ployed in his arrest, intimating that Mr. Hill could
recover damages for false imprisonment, and t at
the parties causing the arrest were also liable to a
criminal charge.
ErrEcxs of Coffee on Disease. —Dr. Mosley
observes in his “ Treatise on Coffee,” that the great
use of the article in France is supposed to have
abated Lhe prevalence of the gravel in the French
colonies, where coffee is more used than in the Eng
iish, aa weli as in Turkey, where it ie the principal
beverage, not only the gravel, but the gout, is
scarcely known. Dr. Faur relates, as an extraordi
nary nstaxce of the effect of coffee on the gout, the
case of Mr. Deverax. who was attacked with tee
gout at the age of twenty-five and had it severely
until he was upwards of fifty, with eua k stones in
the joints ot his hands and feet j but for four years
preceding the time when the account of his case had
been given to Dr. Faur to lay before the public, he
had, by advice used coffee, and had no return of the
gout afterward. ‘

Special Correspondence pj the N. Y, Herald.
Washington, Oct. B.—l stated, in my di-patch
to the Herald of Tuesday, that General Herrau, the
New Granadian Minister, bad been called here by
General Cass on important, business, and that the
firm and deci b-d for igu policy the administration
bad inaugurated, had created a flutter among the
South American aud Centra! American diplomats.
I how learn that the Secretary of the State lisa in
formed Genera! Henan that whether the Caes-ller
rau convention be ratified or not, our government
will not permit: the imposition of tonnage due3 at
ports of the Isthmus oi Panama nor a. tax on the
transportation of passengers and mails crossing the
lstkmu3. General Herran ii informed that vessels
of war are ordered to the Isthmus to see this reso
lution of the government executed. The great
highways of tbo world must not be obstructed.
I As to granting a naval rendezvous and coaling
I’ station at one of the islands ia the Bay of Panama,
our government will not euforea that , o -n.-ideiing
New Granada bat* the riglrt to refuse if she choose;
| but regards Hie refusal aa i.apo'i ie, and evincing
an illiberal diapo.-i’i in. Mp l i,i granted in such a
privilege at Mahon iu the Ale iterranean, and S;r
diuii a 1 Spezzii, yet this small neighboring repub
lic in America refuses it.
Anew era in our foreign policy has been inau
gurated by the administration, just but firm, aud
now it i- for Congress to say whether tha adminis
tration shall be supported iu carrying out this
policy. The question is, shall this great, republic
make iteoif respected ns one of tiie first Powers oi
the world ?
If the Congress of New Granada were as enligh
tened as General Herran, or tbe present President
of that republio, there would be no difficulty about
the ratification of (lie convention.
There is no truth in the report that the United
States are negotiating an important seoit treaty
with Russia.
From the report of tbe Naval Constructor of tbo
damaged condition of Cromwell’s Parker Vein vc-s-
Bels engaged for tbe Paraguay expedition, it is
seriously contemplated by the department no. to
take them. It is asked, why should we take in
terior or doubtful vessels on such an im, orta-it oc
casion, u hen £0 many good ahd suitable ones can
be obtaii and 1
The Attorney General bas under consideration
the question ol forfeiture ot the gas pipe contract
for Washington city. There i3 liti.ie doubt but the
action of Captain Meigs will be suet iued. Had
the same time been allowed at first which the con
tractor now requires, others wouid have taken the
contract, and had the pipes made in the United
Mates.
Dr. Chae. M. Hitchcock has been appointed In
spector of Drugs at San Francisco, vice Dr. Tuck

Domestic Markets.
NEW YORK, Saturday, Oct. 9, P. M. — Cotton —The
market is less buoyant than noticed at the date of our
last, and in f-orno instances prices have declined one
eighth of a cent. The private advices per Canada cou
fiicfc with the newspaper despatch, which quotes an ad
vance of -il. io the Liverpool market. This, together
with the reports of fine weather for picking at the South
is assigned as the cause of the. languor. Sales 7800 bales,
mostly in transitu, on a basis of 13c for strict M ddling
(>r!cans with 9- I6d freight tw Liverpool. There is nothing
doing in Cotton from store, and prices are nominal. The
Cotton crop, from all we can learn, will be distressingly
short thin year. Cotton is opening very rapidly, keep
ing all hands busy at the one. occupation of picking
This is usually the case when the crop is short. There
are no successive blows. J t seems .o mature uniformly,
under the drying heats of a season lacking adequate
moisture, and to burst open aii at once. There is a
great deficiency in the top boiling, a natural consequence
the drought; and the lower bolls generally, irora the
Hume cause, seem not to have reached their wonted size.
I is iortunate that the season is so favorable for picking
and harvesting; were it otherwise—were the weather
wet and stormy—ine wa to would be very grout,. Now
the thrifty planter has a good opportunity at least to se
cure and gather all that he has made. We quote :
