the interior was found to be one huge cabbage,
but dead, to its core, from confinement aud want of
water—a beverage which the patient, unfortunate
ly never drank. The jury returned a verdict of
“ qvits.” “Quits, gentlemen !” exclaimed the dis
mayed Coroner—"neve; heard of such a thing.
What do you mean? ‘ “Why,” replied the fore
man, “We find that, if the cahoage killed the mar,

that ain't quits, blow me!’
Death oe Col. Pickett o'e Alabama. —The

With feelings of prolound regret, we are compell
ed ibis morning, to announce the dea'h of Col.
Albert J. Pickit, which occurred on Thursday, 28 h
October, in the nsigbborhood of this city. A here
ditary disease which only a few months eince devel
oped i-ee'f, has hurried to tho grave a gentleman,
d:■ -ngjirbed alike for the virtxea which ennobled,
aid the qualities which adorned bis life—a life ex
emplary to so great a degree, es to have been al

for the last few years to literary pursuits, which
had for their aim the discovery and publication of
historical events connected with the early se'tle

wi-t, hi* death wll be right ! y regared na a public
loss i wtii'e his readiness to aid., iu all right under
takings where aid was needed, iiia charitsbleness,
hit perfect sense of right, and the goodness of his
heart, which allowed ot no malice or ill-will towards
hia fellow-man, will make it a local calamity. A
few short weeks of siokneai —the dying groat—the
shroud—thaiuneru and the tomb—and all, with
him, was over. Wbatsbadows.
Killing at Fort Deposit, Ai,a. —We heard on
Saturday of a cutting sc ape wiinh lock place at
Fort Deposit, in Lownde coun'y. Ala , onTjurs
day evening last about nine o’clock—the particu
lars o! which, so far as we have learned, are as
follows:
A uar named Busßy was intoxicated, (eo rumor
ha? it,) and went where a uutnber of Irishmen were
a ! w. rk, stating that he cou'd whip any of them,
and making threats. He was not noticed by them,
however, arid all r some time went away. Subse
quently, while the Irishmen were at supper in the
rc.idence of one Mr. Handley, a contractor, in
whose employ they were, Hussy came to the house,
having a pistol in one hand and a large knite in the
other, which latter he was brandishing. Mrs Hand
ley noticing his condition, aud b -ing feanui that
some of her children, who were playing outside the
door, might get hurt by him accidently, called out
to him t ’ go away Ilsr husbs-nd subsequently
went out-doors, to order him off, when a scuffle en
sued, and Hussey was knocked dowD, after which he
left. Sb rfly afterwards, Handley and bis working
men went to a grocery near by to get some cider,
when Hussy raise in and eyed Handley very close-
H. noticed this, end toid hiui to keep off ana not to
npp’onch him with the knife, which tie ( Bussey) still
held in his hand, as kp (11-md!ey) wished no farther
difficu'ly with him. One ol the workingmen nam
ed McLoughiin, then came towards Jbussey, when
11;; . ty made a lunge at him with tho knife, and
would undoubtedly have cut him fatally, had uot
iMcL. thrown up his arm and waidedoff the blow.
As it was, he received a er.oun cut on the left side
of the neck. I.mne iiatcly alter this seuflie, Bussey
ran about thirty yards ani fell dead. A cut was
found in his groin, which wua undouotedly the
cause of his death. His knite was found lying by
his side.
The Cr-roner summoned a jury on Friday, and
held cu ii quest, ou the b dy and a verdict was re
turned to ti.e < “ ct that Bu eey came to his death
by b. ii g stabbed with a knile in the hands of Me-
L u-lf.m. M-Lougtlin was thereupon committed
to prie: u to await examination.
We have given th** above exactly as the rumor
readied us— ihe particulars will oome out on the ex
umina'i'ii Thomas J. Judg*. Es-J, of this city
has, we understand, been retained inr the defence

“The Alleohant Copper Mining Company.”
—All effort is being made to organ z- this Coiopauy
with a woiking capital of some $50(1,000, aud to
begin operai ions nt once, or ho soon as a fair pro
portion ot the capital shall have been paid. That
imimmaneefield for operating is hero pro ented,
none will doub', p.fter giving the subject the most
casual consideration. Tho real estate upon which
the company will be based, embraces between six
teen and tevemien hundred acres, net-.rly allot’
which consists of the richest copper mines, now
known. The product, eo far an actual experiment
| ha? gone, promises to be even greater, than that of
! those valuable mines bordering on Lske Superior
1 Tho mines are situated in North Georgia and F. rst
! Tennessee, a portion being iu each of those great
i States Tne value of the ores taken train them has
i been fully tested, and may now be said to be well
! developed. Nothing ia left to experiment, but their
1 richness is a practical and known fact. So that,
i niter organizing the Company, there will lie noex
’ penditure of its capital, iu prospecting and testing
ihe value of the ores. This fact is already well set
tled.
Another fact, that speaks volumes in favor of an
iuvestuieut iu the stock of this company, is that
si me oi the most practical and sagacious gentlemen
of our Slate, arc subscribing their rnpuey aEd de
voting their time, iu efforts to get the requisite
amount ot stock subset ibed for. Sue!, men as
Ralit. II Smith, K'O ,and Dr. Anders >a, of Mobile,
and Mr E K. Carhs of l’erry county, do not in
ve*t their means in visionary schemes. But they
have thoroughly investigated the subject, and are
its most wea'ouo advocates. These men we know.
There is also JAeiit. Maury, ot Washington City,
who has a world wide renown, as C man of science.
Ho, too, ia a large stockholder.
it is estimated, (and by practical miueis ths esti
mate ia paid to be a very moderate one,) that Cop
per Hill ulouo will yield, the first year, 1,000 tons of
ore, averaging 2d per m-nt, and worth (300,0H0 af
ter all expenses are paid. Jt has yielded $-10,000
per month, and can doit agnin_ when properly
worked, and further opeued. We have in our city,
men o; large means, and as far-seeing as any, and
why do not they investigate tins eutjeot. It is de
sirable to obtain a good slock subscription in Mont
gomery, as this will be made the head quarters for
the busiuess transactions o! the Company. Books
of subscription will be left here, aud it is hoped that
the agent will soon have a good report to make.—

TBNNBSSKE ITEMFi.
At the recent meeting of the Synod at Jackson,
Tenn., it wa3 determined to estabi sb, at an early
day. a Presbyterian paper at Memphis.
At: ho General Association of the Baptist Church,
which assembUd at Lebanon on Saturday, the 23d
inst., two sets of dehgates from tbo First Baptist
Church in this city presented themselves. This
was the result of a split in that Church growing out
of a trie! ot the K9V.J . E. Graves upon charges of
gross uiichii-oian eon uct towards tha pastor of the
Church, the Rev Dr. Howell, which ha? been pro
giassing for some t ine, and which has not yet been
terminated. The delegates representing the Graves

must ask your “ courtesy a little farther. As to
all “ Demosthenian’s“ flourish about “ Romans,
Vandals, ’’ etc , I have nothing to do. If, however,
1 have altered sentiments which are “ in direct an
tagonism with the educational interests of Georgia,”
then, indeed, I am either through a certain “ re I .a

I pretend to be looking to a general good, and all i
this to promote “sectaii on interests.” 1 am com
plained of as having transcended my limits, because I
” entered the columns of a political newspaper,’’
etc. Really, when I read all this rhetoric, I could
but ask myself, whether, by becoming a miciste r
and an agent for a “ favorite denomination*!'’ in
stitution, I should even dare to claim the right of a
vote as a freeman. But, I shall not attempt an an
swer to this “ Demosthenian'’ in hia rambles and
insinuations, nor will Igo into a newspaper war
with any one about F/ank.in College. I am for
“ light and right,” and I wieh now tte privilege of
stating a few facts and offering a few opinions, with
which I submit the mat er : Ist. I would not, nor
did I say, nor mean to Bay, that th'.* time honored

t ;at “Frankiin College must be purged,” etc., aa
alleged by editor and writer. I am for no “gun

fight behind no masked battery, nor am I ashamed
or afraid to meet the honorable Alumni of “ old
Franklin College” anywhere—nor will they, nor
can they esteem me aa enen.y. They may call me
a fool, because I proposed to try to better the con
dition of Franklin College, aud promote ths cause of
education generally, by selling to the Episcopalians,
etc. Did I expect them to bum it down or build
it up, which ? Perhaps they would do what “ De
moethenian” thinks the Slate ought to do—“ purge
it.” My proposition is too plain to bo misunder
stood. It is to build it up, to improve, to perpetuate
it by a change of ownership. Every one will see
and so did “ Demosthenian,” that my proposal to
the “ Episcopa'inP"” was uot from any “new-born
liberal iy rovards the Episcopalians.” The Metho
dists, Baptists and Presoy teriane, had Colleges; the
Episcopalians had not, and I had learned they in
tended having one. Again, I proposed to sell it to
them. If, however, “ Demos thenian” thinks we
ought to give it to them, ralher than eell'it, I do net
—yet, I shall not now controvert that point. Again:
I proposed to divide tils proceeds among the
Gtfei denominational Colleges If he lies a better

Franklin College.
Mr. Editor; It is evident the framer? of our
State Government desired the establishment ot an
institution of learning, which, in grade, should equal
any University in the Union. The limited pecunia
ry resources of the Sate, alone prevented them, at
the time, from p'acing such an institution in sueceas
fal operation. Such was the importance, however,
attached to the subject, they refused to postpone the
matter tntively, and to the extent of their meats,
inaugurated such a system of education.
A majority of them were men who had been de
nied the privileges of a collegiate education, yet
they appreciated its necessity, and entertained the
belief that their successors, as the State increased
in wealth and intelligence, would perfect what they
had cmnmeuced. Their judgment on this subject
is highly valuable. Political and sectarian prt-ju
dices had not produced those sad divisions they
have since accomplished. They were disinterested
patriots, laboring for the highest mental and moral
development of those that should come after them.
They regarded the Church as the great instrument
in the accomplishment of tho one, and a Unicer sit y
as the agent in attaining the other. Around the
Churob they throw all the safeguards of protection
in its freedom of faith and worship, and in their
honest simplicity supposed its efforts would be con
fined ih i'a “ spiritual mission.’’ They did not re
c'guise t ia sciences as one ol the instrumentalities to
be employed in tho conversion of sinners. Toeir
observation had taught them that men could not be
educated into Christianity; but that it was au easy
task to ed ocate them iuto religious partizans and
Christiai fanatics.
While i eligion, therefore, under the patronage of
the Church proper, went forth untrainolled to win its
victories by its own inherent powers, they con
ceived education a proper sutjact for legislative in
terference, and dependent upon State liberality for
ts support. With these men Frank'iu College origi
nated, aud for years it was the literary centre of the
State.
Thither the young men of Georgia went, and
there collected annually the intelligent and influen
tial citizens of the State. It was the focus which
received and dispensed thoss educational blessings
wliieh made glad the heart oi every Southerner.
The poor and the rich, the civilian and the Divine,
rivalled each other in their watchfulness over this
work of their common (.Section and prjde. AH
looked forward to the day when its lecture aud reci
tation rooms should be fret —when the tuition fee,
which is an effectual barrier to the poor man’s sen,
should no longtr guard its portals—but when every
tax-payer should feel identified with the College, be
cause he received an hundred fold more than he had
given in the facilities afforded in educating his child—
when the political demagogue should bs forced to es
pouse the cause of the College as an electioneering
theme with the masses—and when sectarianism
should cea3e its murmurings because the school
would be doing that which no sect in tha State has
attempted— educating the poor free of chaigc.
It is useless to agitate the question of an Univer.
sity until a plan is adopted Vhieh shall interest every
class of tjip people. Endowments should always
imply a cheapened system ot instruction, and to cal
an Institution of learning, a “State University,”
when the tuition is anything but nominal, ia a per*
version of words. The Universities of Europe de
monstrate tue practicability and importance of fins
principle. Tne poverty ot their Students is pro
verbial. It is true, the noble and wealthy are tLere
assembled; but at their side, drinking from the
same weli-spring of knowledge, ia him who is de
pendent upon his personal exertions for board
and clothing. All else is free. And why 1 Because
the State has devised liberal things for the people in
Education.
If there are large expenditures on the part of tha
State, there should be a corresponding diminution
of expenses on the part of the citizen. Every man
should feel that if he is able to accumulate a suffi
citncy to feed apd clothe bis son, however humble
his sphere, he is privileged to send him up to the
State College, and have hiin qualified for the res
ponsibilities of life, and whatever be his earthly des
tiny, give bim at least a feast for the immortality
that is within him.
Never do we so much lament the miserly grasp
ings ot sectarianism, and dtmagogueism, a3 when
we contemplate the mental dearm they cause in the
rand. The people are forever upon their lips, and
yet they “bind heavy burthens ’ tor the people, not
liftiug them with one of their fingers.
•Tte impression prevails that Franklin College is
the place io educate rich men s sons—that ’he poor
are not within its halls. Whether true or false, I
will not ssy, though it requires as much money to
graduate in the Denominational Colleges as it does
in Franklin. If this impression be true, it must be
remedied. Where is the remedy i It is to be found
in Legislative incninsei ce.
A system of “common tekoa'a,” such as are estab
lished in the New England Slates is impracticable
in Georgia. But endow the Slate College suffi
cieutly jor it to educate the young men of the State
frer of tuition, and it will necessarily multiply the
number of teacher* almost indefinitely—for then a
majority of its graduates will be poor young men,
dependent upon teaching for a support. Then in
crease the present * poor school fund, ‘ and place its
management in the hands of the competent State
and District officers, whose business it should be to
see that every indigent child has the means of ac
quiring a common education. The result will be,
competent teachers from the State Univertiiv will
find remunerative employment in every neighbor
hood. 1 will hereafter show tost we have the meant
to accomplish ail this. Here is the remedy to sweep
away t he charge that o and Franklin is the rich mans
College. Bu; again, the impression prevail* that
Frank,in College is improperly managed If so,
where i* the remedy ? In the endowment jmt
mentioned. For then the Legislature becomes di
rectly iutereetedin its government, and we shall
not see annually exhibited in Miliedgeville that
amue rg farce, which is enaoted when the ‘'tSenaiut
Aeademtcus’ meets. It will have iile and power

sensibly excited. The Secretary read* over the

Physic"! Training of Children—No. 4.
Os the Early Use of Medicines.
Mr. Editor:—Ot aiith; absurdities which pre
vail, wi'h regard to thetreTment vl c .ilii ’n, thtr.j
■s none so grossly repugnant to comm on sense a s
the practice of giving thorn physic almost as eo-n
as food. Nay, in not a few instances, ths F o;>r ‘ti
tle things are made to gulp down some trash or oth
er, before it has had a tasto of that nourishment
which nature has eo gsaerons ly and so bountifully
adapted to its want?. Ach Id has scarcely began
to breathe before seme purgative elop is forced
j down its throat, thereby subjecting its little stomach
i to a state of the most unnatural irritation. It has
; often appeared to ms strange, how people first came
to thinK that the first thing given to a child should
be Castor Oil, sugar and butter, Paregoric, or
a “sugar teat,” pardon the vulgarism. But, I have,
after due reflection, come to the conclusion .hat the
practice was owing either to mistaken philanthropy
cr to a superficial knowledge of the requirements
of nature. An ancient philosopher has rema: ktd,
that “mere ignorance hath never done any material
xe j dry —error alone is destructive, and we do Lot
err in things we are profe-sedly ignoiant of, bu. in
those which we conceive we know.” To commence
dosing infants, therefore, without rhyme or reason
is a strong illustration of conceited ckiii It certain
ly never wouid have entered the minds of persona
wholly unacquainted with the science of medicine
that evacuations should pitcede the first supplies
of nourishment. A little smtitering of physic, how
ever, gave rise no doubt, to the idea of forcing na
ture to perform a wtrk by other means than those
which she has provided for the emergency. “A
little learnlning is a dangerous thing.”
In the first place, that product, the nature cf
whiohis familiar to every intelligent mother, is in
the large mrjsrfty cf cases, very soon removed
from the syst-m of the infant, by the unaided ef
forts of natu-e. Where this does not take place,
every desirable purpose is sure to be effected by
the peculiar virtues of the milk. It is enough for
women to hear thoie who know very little more
than themselves, recommend things to effect what
won and have been better accomplished without their
officious intermeddling. This display of fictitious
learning is very flattering to the vanity of some
persons, aud many a severe twinge have poor in
fants been made to experience, from this foo'ish de
sire to show profound skill.
Tne writer recollects a case which occurred in the
practice of a physician with whom he is very inti
mate. Some improper medicine had been given by
an attendant. The physician remonstrated with
this well meaning, but not very intelligent lady, on
her impropriety in tampering with the delicate con
stitution of a child. She replied in a tone of self
sufficiency uud complacency. “Good Lord, Doctor’
I only gave the truck to bring on the meconomy.”
The physician smiled, of course, within himself, at
her ridiculous attempt at medical cant, and repri-
1 manded her for tho serious mischief she had dote.
She was shown that poison was as likely to be used
for medicine as “meconomy” for the term which
she should have employed to express her meaning,
and from the same conceited ignorance. If the
mal administration of medicine was confined to
such instances, it would be very well, but errors of
thi3 kind are commit.ed over and over again, and
not unfrequently cease only with the poor crea
tures life. Opiates in tLe form of Paregoric, Bate
mau’s Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, Arc , are deemed
necessary to procure sieep, relieve pain or quiet its
cries —emetics to cleanse its stomach aud innumera
ble unavailing and pernicious contrivances are re
sorted io, to -‘ease it on to glory,” as was ones re
marked by a kind hearted phyticiaD. As these com
plain! s are the inevitable result of improper nursing,
they can only be relieved by a thorough reform in
that department.
It is astrmge infatuation with some people, that
medicine must be given to children with a view of
preventing sickness. The spring of the year is the
usual Beasou consecrated to this purpose, and a
dues of “Dr. baug; ado’s Vegetable Tonic, Altera
tive aud Worm Eradicator,” must be given to keep
the dear little things “well and hearty.” Thus
they are made sick lor fear they should become so,
and their constitutions are enfeebied by the very
means which are employed to strengthen them.—
Medicine should never be given, except where the
indications for its use are well marked. Doctors,
whether male er female, should not be b-.sy in fid
ing the mantle-piece with their phials, and the
stomachs of their little sufferers with physic
A child accustomed to the oold bath and the full
enjoyment of fresh air, will not be liable to coughs,
oolds, &c. The predisposing causes of most of the
complaints of infants, are the weakness of ,the di
gestive organs and irritability of the nervous sys
tem ; both are obviated by the means which have
been suggested. Cases, however, do happen which
not only justify, but imperatively demand the
prompt and energetic use of medicines; but such in
stances among very young children, are by no
means of such frequent occurrence as many im
agine. I might go further, and assert that even
when the frequent and continued use of physic is
necessary, a child kept in existence by this means
has littie reaeon to be thankful for the preservation
of its life, for it lives only to be a burden to society,
and never can be said to enjoy file so much as to
render its possession a blessing. A certain medical
author lias regretted that children can be seldom
made to swallow physic. When I think of the great
number of young martyrs who, through excessive
maternal solicitude, have sacrificed their lives to
tins abominable syslem of over dosing ; instead of
lamenting the circumstance, I have reason to re
j; ice at it, from the fullest conviction thatifebil
art-n had not this reluctance to swallow medicine,
parents would have to mourn the loss of many more
than they do.
It is a common custom with mothers to lay a
child on its back, close its nose, and force the
draught down its throat, at the risk, perhaps, of stran
gulation. This, to say the least of it, is a very cruel
practice, and should be corrected. Bribing and coax
icg children as they become susceptible of such im
pressions, are almost equally as bad, for it is telling
them before hand that the potion is unpa atable, and
of course it is not surprising if afterwards they ro
fuseit, should it be made ever so agfaeable to the
latte. A child should ha taiightirom its infancy to
refuse nothing from its parent. Thus accustomed
to act from habitual submission to authority, and
not from furoe or the pernicious allurements of a
bribe, it can easily be persuaded to take medicine.
Tiiere ia no notion more prevalent than that chil
dren abound with -‘humors of the blood.” If a spot
appear on the skin, the child must take a dose of
sulphur or some otter drug—pekhapa “Dr. Snooks’
Compound Ssraa; axilla slop,” to effect its removal.
This sort of medication more frequently generates
noxious humors ttau expels them, and impoverishes
the b oud instead of purifying it. Complaints which
are caused by bad air and improper diet, do not
admit of a cure by medic'ne alone. To trust to
medicine for w hat it cannot effect, is curing the
evil by establishing a more serious one in its place.
It ia fashionable to give medioine on every tri
vial occasion, notwithstanding the most lamenta
ble proofs not merely of its inefficiency, but of ils
pernicious effects. When a child is the least indis
posed, or does notseom to t rive, whioh must often
be the case where they are badly nursed, Dr. San
grado or Dr. Snooks is immediately sent for. Such
medical gentlemen are not often gifted with candor,
but if they have such a quality it is often suppress
ed. If they possess such an unnecessary appen
dage to conceited skill as a discriminating judg
ment, jt is very liable to be biassed by self
interest, for they derive tjieir support from the easy
credulity of the infatuated pation, and he seldom
resists the temptation to provide large supplies of
physic,partiouUriy where he knows Hie parent to
be in good paying circumstances. The mischief
which commenced witn the nurse, is tbu3 comple
ted by the quack, aud death come sooner or
later to terminate the sufferings of the tortured
victim.
It gives me pain to cast reflections on the repre
hensible practice of even the lower orders or hang
ers on, ot the medical profession, but the evil is of
such fearful magnitude, that it cannot be passed
over in Bilence, nor mentioned w ithout bursts of
strong indignation. Tho weaknesses and fears of
mothers bring in such medical -advisers, and it re
quires an iffint to which net one in a thousand is
equal, to get rid of them while the last drop of
blood remains. A presumptuous and busy medical
humbug, wants only a few timid mothers, who are
in a condition to fee him well, to insure his fortune.
Were the boasted specific of a quack—whether he
be in or out of the profession—always like the
magnetic bracelet or piaster, it would do no barm,
and would serve to amuse the child, or levy a con
tribution on the credu'ity of the mother. But it is
more frequently composed of active ingredients,
which require the nicest skill to administer them
judiciously. Most of the nostrums for children are
strong opiates or purgatives, of a different nature
from the innocent efficacy of a metier’s lullaby.
They may, percbar.ce, quieter compose the infant,
and seem to aflord relief for the time, but they
never fail to destroy the powers of digestion, and
induce a state of general debility, with its train of
baneful consequences.
In short, medicine, unless imperatively demand
ed, should! in ali cases, be wnhteid. Were a law

Comets aud their Consequences#
Mr. Editor: At the request of my very many
friends, I hav9 taken the trouble and time here to
make an explanation of these strange and curious
things called ‘* Cometa”—(and my friends certainly
would not request it of me unless they were positive
as to my ability and astronomical talents.) Now, X
am confident you wiil pardon—yee, I'm sure you
will, when I assure you, a subject of so much impor
tance ought to at least be deeply studied. You will,
therefore, I hope, receive it with much cherishing
and in your worthy columns push it forward, and
place it into hands and hearts of all naturalized
civilized and hyperphyaical citizens.
“ Comets,” as I have said before, are strange
individuals, (I have been very careful in my obser
vations of the aforesaid —Comets.) and have con.
eluded, most positively, that it was an easy thrng
for common folks to see but a t£ sing e one”—yet it
took a professional gent s emaD to see them in the
piur&l number, dejictive case, and severaline g&n
der. The following purports the state and changes
of the long-tail rascal now visible to most ordi
nary people. These observations may be relied on
as too true —“ too true’’ as my friends say—to be
kept in the dark.
7 P M.—Saw the Come* through an opera-glass
from Schneider’s popular winder—best view—round
body—rather foggy, though luminous enough, and
all in all, a great institution, very well put together,
and very like “Jacob’s Ladder”—very like—l've
seen it. Drank a toast witn Sckniae, in compliment,
‘ A Loug may the Wave!'’
9 P. M..—Cons;derate increase in size of Comet,
the aforesaid, seen from Girardey’s backway—he's
a clever fellow—says Comets are wonderful things
—don’t tirnk s— ’em often —nothing strange,
though some folks think so. They eay that Spaith
—(I believe that's his nam'—he is a
keeps the best shouldn't wonder—though

Proclamation from the President.
Washington, Oct. 31.—The Union of this morn
ing contains a Proclamation from President Bu
chanan, in relation to violations of our neutrality
laws. The President says he has reason to believe
that the public lands of Nicaragua, have been
pledged as security for bonds issued for the purpose
of raising funds to equip troops for another tnva
son of that country. He regards Gen. Wm. Walk
er s expedition, as one involving hostilities against
Nicaragua. He refers to the proclamation of Yrii
sarri, who states that the pretext of being peacetul
emigrants cannot conceal the real intention of Gen.
Walker and his party.
The President also refers to Gen. Y r alker publio
iy expressed intentions of renewing hostilities, aud
o: his notification to thn Collector of customs at
Mobile, that between 260 and 350 emigrants will
shortly embark from that point.
He closes his Proclamation by enforcing upon
all officials, to be active and vigi.ant in suppressing
all eLterprizes involving violations of our neutrality
laws.

NASHVILLE, Oct. 30 — Provisions —There has been
a very good demand for Bacon during the week, though
the receipts have been very light. Buyers are paying
8c for Clear Sides, 64c f>r Shoulders, and 10c for choice
H&ms from wa ons. When put up for shipping, 4®4c
advance is demanded.
Lard is dull at 9c tor a prime article.
The C ucinnati Gazette of the 27th says : “There has
been a brisk demand lor Bacon irora the Southeast, aud
pr ces have materially advanced, closing at6]aßf for
hhuulders and sides, with an upward tendency, i here
has been a good demand tor Me&s Po. k from the North
east within tae last two days, and prices advanced yes
tetday to $1.5.50. t tocks of hog products are now pretty
will reduced, and with a fair demand during the en
suing futuighi, but little will remain to bo carried over
to ho new season. The improvement in provisions hia
otimu.ateu the hog market, somewhat, and sales have
been n.ade for Novtinoer and December delivery at
$5.75 net. Buyers, however, are not very free at this
figure, but seLersare noi anxLus to contract “
Th Cincinnati Gazette of the2Bth says : “In hogs we
not.ee sales of 200 head, deliverable next week, at *5 75,
3uo do. ueiiver&ble November 15tU, at same. The mai
ket is firm, but packers are mostly uuwill.ng to contract
at this figure, a though it L general y conceded that the
opening price will be about $ > 75®b. Kentuckians, as
Usual, appear to be strongest in the laith. 6ome of them
take hold with a g jod deal of confidence ”
4 1 he bt. Louis Republican of the 28th says : “City
packers contiuue to offer $5 per 100 lbs net for heavy
Hogs, delivery at any tme within season, though late
delivery is preferred Yesterday the market was open
ed by a sale of 2UO head, in pens at tbat figure, and
1,000 head were said to-day t- have been sold at tne
same, delivery ahead. The latter, if correct, is the only
transaction of importance ye. announced. On the Up

at 44® 44c.”
Grain and Flour —There ha 9 been more inquiry for
Wheat, especially the bt tter grades, dating the week,

LIVERPOOL, Oct. 15.—We transmit herewith our
usual review of ihe Cotton Trade of Europe for the first
ni e inontt'S of tbe year, comprising Great Britain,
France, Belgium, Holland, Germany *nd Trieste. Ge
noa and Barcelona remain excluded as before in order to
keep the comparison intact, but we are enabled to state
that the import into Genoa amounted to 42,000 bales,
against 53,600 bales lart year, and h.to Barcelona 91,-
000 bal s, against 78,000 bales. The d'rect import into
Russia was about the same as last year, viz: 70,000
bales.
Tue larger Import of American Cotton compensates
for the smaller from tbe East Indies, tbe aggregate im
port therefore differs littie from that of last year, but the
stocks at the beginning of this year having been consid
erably larger than last year, viz : 185 000 bales, the dis
posable supply was increase j by this much.
The deliveries of ihe two years have not varied much
except in the case of France, where they show an in
crease of 46,000 bales, part of which must however be
ascribed to a larger export but of which we have no par
ticulars.
The stocks rhow an increas j of 190,C00 bales in Ame
rican, and a decrease of 100,000 bales in East Ind.aa
Cotton, leaving an excess (with the miuor descriptions)
of 110 OOu bales. The increase is exclusively in Great
Britain.
Our i-pinners have had at last a remunerating season,
they acknowledge that they are doing well, aud every
body must rejoice at it after the long dreary spell they
have had to tue contrary; the inauufacturers also have
been more successiul than hitherto, but in a more limited
as regards those who have to buy taeiryarn. Tbe
consumption 1b do doubt proceeding at present at a great
rate, but not so largely as the deliveries ot Cotton would
seem to indicate, for it is admitted that many of the laige
spinuers are stocked with Cotton for weeks, and some,
for months <n advance.
1 he exports of Cotton fabrics and of yarns have been
very satisfactory ; it is however to be observed that if
the East Indian markets had not come to our assistance,
there would have been in a serious decline in each. Ac
cording to Messrs. Du Fay & Cos. s tables the export du
ring tue first eight monthi of the year has been of cali
coes, Ac., 1,497 millions of yards against 1,3/5 mi.lions
in 1857 ;—of yarns 129 millions of pounds against 118
miiliona; and tbe same favorable proportion has been
kept during thenin'h month.
In France tbe consumption of Cotton has apparently
recovered considerably, but we have it upon g. ol au
thority that while the stecks in the porta are ess than
last year the Spinners are now better stocked than they
were then Their busiues-s has been on tbe whole a sat
isfactory one, but at the present high prices they prac
tice great reserve and caut on.
Switzerland, which sutfeied severely during the crisis
is only now recovering slowly.
In the German shipping ports the tone is still very
much depressed, but m the interior a better spirit
to prevail The Spinners have stocked ex
tensively durii g tLe month of Sepu aiber and they are
now not in immediate want
Russia suffered than any other country during the
crisis/ owing to the Government having assisted the
mercantile community by an enlarged issue of paper
money ; tbe dismal per od has thus been tided over, but
the rate of Exchange has now talieo so mqch ar to ne
extensive export of Bullion, sud the redun
dant paper circulation appears moreover to have called
forth a spirit of wild speculation such as we have seen
previously in other countries. Numerous schemes aie
brought lorth and are eagsriy taken up.
Sweden has suffered more severely than any other
country. Industrial undertakings had been entered up
on, chiefly upon credit, and feu to the ground as col
lapsed.
The Spanish Cotton interest is slowly recovering from
last year’s deep depression.
In Belgium the consumption of Cotton has not been
on as large a scale as formefly but the country is sound
and new supplies are wanted there.
At the coi responding period of last year there were
certa nly prempnotury symptom* in the state of the Mo
ney m&iket to induce caution, but the must apprehen
sive mind did not contemplate the near approach of such
a fiuancial tornado as %wfipt aver the commercial world.
In Cotton particularly it upset all the prospective esti
mates of stocks and prices which had been indulged in
with every appearance of propriety. Increasing scarci
ty was to raise the pi ice of middling O leans by tbe end
of the year to about lOd. per 15. instead of which it fell
by the middle of December to 54d. per 15., and even
ween tae apprehended scarcity actually did oqcur in
March, when the stock of American Carion wak reduced
to 84,000 baies, prices did rot reach 84, aid when
the supplies arrived , eceded rapidly to 64d., between
which irad iid , -prices have since then fluctuated. It
shows how unsafe it is to calculate up u high and higher
prices in so unwieidly and sensative an article as Cotton
whenever credit is at all disturbed.
The extent of the present crop must be ultimately
determined by the period of frost; the minimum
estimates appear generally to be 3 4b0,U)0 bales. Tue
cone urn tion will d**nenj gfcatly upon the price; it
would probable bu unsafe to calculate upon any great
extension u tbe average price of middling Orleans Cot
tea snouid materially exceed present rates. It must,
not be expected that the East Indian demand will on
linue on the present extensive scale, anu as tig Jie trade
to C oina, the increase in a demand toe manu actnred
goods will omy be the work $f time. As for ihe Soath
American ana West Indian markets, they will not re
cover yet for iioiae time! trom the stunning biow they
have received. There will not doubt generally b.ea
zuil consumption of Cotton, but it may be su irtll to
guard ag&inst the expectation of a lartre luareate.
Our Grain crops a:e now all secure® Wheat is a fall
average crop if not more, and In addition our fanners
have stiil laigo stock, of old Grain on hand. In France
tje Crops have also been good. In Spain and
they are itficiert which necessitates foreign imports
In Germany Iney are under an X4 the Black
oea and Danubian localities they moderate. Ia
the United Btates they appear to ’ nave been Ur from
abundant. Fur t*,e pregefef. prices abroad are higher
than here kad import* wip thus be prevented for a time,
but we sha 1 require foreign supplies, for our
imports during the lasi twelve mo ths with a large crc p
of our own, amoun ed to 4 BCO LOO quarters of When*
and equal to two million barels of Floor.
