Return ol Mr. Voorfcle*—Coneervaiive Sen
timents.
The Indianapolis Sentinel makes the following
statement touching the return ot Messrs. VoOihies
and McDonald, (wh came to Charlestown as coun
sel for Cook,) an i their report of their treatment a
Charlestown, aud the proceedings of the Court
there. The Sen tncJ takes occasion to express it
self in some very sound opin one, to which we in
vite attention, the uore particularly as the appear -
auoe of auything like justice or fairness to the
South, in the Northern pr >*, is so very rare :
Hon J. E. McDonald and Hon. D. W.
returned home from Char.ej'town on Friday night
last The public >- re already advised of the con
viotlonot young Cook Upvii the indiclmei lor
murder ana insurrection, and the scntei ue ei the
<xmrt that te shoo and be huug on the li :h of Dtcem
ber. Mmcii. McDoueld and Voorhiee dts le us to
state that tioin tht- time of their arrival to their de
parture. they haci every attention and kindness
shown them by t e citizens of Charlestown and
vicinity, and the o and fashion-d Virgiuia hospitality,
tor which the people of that portion of the S’ate are
distiugaished, wa everywhere exteuded to them.
They speak of Judge Parker as a courteous gentle
man. upright aud able, and that he administers his
court with grea’ dignity aud strict impartiality.—
The trial of the prisoners was lair, as much latitude
was allowed in the defence as could be. and tue Yir
giuia lawyers allotted to the prisouers made all the de
teusetha! the cases were capable of—manifesting in
their conduct of them both ability and earueetuese.
The prisoners themselves admit the tairuess of their
trials, and the bumauity aud kindness with which
they are treated. The promptness of the trials was
accidental, the court being m session at the time of
the outbreak. This fact, however, does not militate
against the tairuess of the trials, nor is it presum
able that any diderent result would have been
reached, if they had longer been delayed.
The evidence aga nst the prisoners was moat di
rect and conclusive, and, with the exception of
Cook, they were arrested while violating the laws
and committing the offences tor which they were
oonvieted. and are to be pucis; hd. The prisoners
can efferno justification torth’s wicked attempt to
incite a servile insurrection Tney had no personal
wrongs to avenge The act on parr was vol
untary. aud they voluntar y assumed a i the conse
quences ot a fai.ure. 1 hey cau m&ke no appeal for
sympathy which shcu.d find a iespouse What
ever may be the moral lespousibdity of th< who
hold aud teach the “irrepiessible conflict’ doctrine
for the acts ot these misguided that is no
apology which the prisoner- can eff r tor their
ernne. Tuere Is too much morbid sensibility in the
the public mind tor criminals, ana too much wi licg
nees to re ax that maintenance of law and justice,
upon which rasu public peace, security and good
order. Our pi’y tor thoee who voluntarily u s:e
gard law. shoulu cot ead any so far ss to be willing
that criminals shouia go unpunished for their
crimes We all owe a different duty to society.
We have cot a doubt but .at tee sober verdict u f
the people of the country will justify the punish
ment decreed to the Harper’s Ferry insurgents by

A Prairie Fire.—A letter from Cannon Fails,
Minnesota, to the St. l‘au Pioneer, says :
The night we arrived here :t was our pr viiege
to witnew one of the grancoet sights of the Western
oountry. We stood on a high bluff overlooking the
town and saw a prair e tire ia .1* madness and
destructiveuess. From out of the West, ab.'ve the
dim horizon, the great red fiames came surging in
long, quivering w aves, extending four or five miles
ever the prairie. As they came roaringonward the
scene was perfectly magu.Li.-ent The who e
heavens were as red as blood ; the dimes rose fif
teen or twenty feet in the air, and seemed to
thrwateD destruction to every thirg before them
gome farms which lay in their *ay ve.v narrow.y
escaped by having furrows ploweu around. Sever
al wheat stacks were swa wed up. aLd one n.an
only saved his dwelling house by six teet. Men
worked like Trojans ah the night fighting the tire.
About a quarter of a mi.r on the other e.ueof tue
river tne ria:e* wheeled abound with a 6ucd**n
change of the wind, and went tearing down the
river Eastward. A lofty, abrupt socky bluff,
which seemed to tar tfceir wa> effectually, was
scaled in two or three seconds, and the fire ix urei
down the slope on tue otL*i side in several disticc.
streams, looking exactly ike liquid red-hot lava
pouring down some rocky mountain. The next
morning this fiery flood Lad left a great blackened
waste as far as tne eye coaid reach.

resided in Cartereville, Georgia, for six or eight
years, and who murdered A. P. MeOrabb, in

was in this city on Saturday night and Sunday laet.
On Sunday evening he went down to Shellmound
on the Nashville A Chattanooga Railroad. On
Tuesday our city authorities received a despatch,
desiring that he be arrested and delivered in Mont
gomery, to be tried for the above murder, and sta
ting that tour hundred dollars reward was offered
ty the Governor for hie arrest and delivery as
above. City Marshal Lowry soon ascertained the
(acts above, of his presence in the city on Sunday
and departure for Shellmound. where be immedi
ately proceeded with a poeaee, and would have
succeeded in capturing him, but for tbe efforts of a
brother gambler of his (Jno. Smith) who gave Pitts
the aiarrn and assisted him in his flight. It is sup
posed that he tied through the mountains, in the
direction of Jasper, Marios county, Tenn.
Pitts is described as being about 75 years cf
age, 6 feet 7 ruches high, slightly sloop-shouldered,
dark hair, rather lean and long-faced, has no
wniskers. lie had on a dark brown cloth coat,
drab over coat and tarpaulin cr fireman's hat. He
is said, also, to be a bad swearer.

arid heavy whiskers of the same color, called at tbe
office of the Eas> Alabama Insurance Company
and exchanged $785 on the Cana) Bank of Louisi
ana, in ten dollar bills, $730 of which was counter
feit, but the balance was good. We understand a
similar imposition was practiced upon one of the

Counterfeits. —A few weeks agowe mentioned
the fai t that a number of counterleit bills oil the
Canal Bank of Louisiana had been exchanged at

Ga It seems that there are other counterfeiters of
the Canal Bank notes. Nome days ago, a man
named A. E. Taylor, upon whose person $1 HI in
coun'erleit notes on'he Canal Bunk of L uieiaua,
and slll3 25 of good money were found, was ar
rusted at Memphis, and the police of that city were

Mr. EDITOR:— Tbif beieg set apart by bis Ex
oellency as a Thanksgiving day has been generally
observed as a holiday—most of the itoree and shope
having been cioeed at least till the afternoon. It
has proved an unexceptionable day, nnlees one
might find fault for its being a little too warm. Very
early tbe staunch dogs were eager with delight, for
tbe birds, seeming to know that this was a day for
shooting, and the gunners were soon cn for a day s
tramp over the hiiis and fields. Some of the mem
here concluded to try tfceir bands at suckers, in the
turbid waters of the Oconee, being satiated with
the fun of hooking another sort of fih. A few went
pistol firing at a rather publio place of resort near
the river, while others still went rambling when
ever the fancy led them.
Notwithstanding, there was a respectable au
dience assembied at 11 o'clock A. M in the Repre
sentative Hall to listen to the Thanksgiving sermon
delivered by Rev. Dr. Higgins. Presbyterian, of
Coiambus, wbo had been selected by a oommittee
cf the two houses, for that purpose.
The churchee in the square were all closed, and
the oi ‘y divine service was at the State House.—
There was a large number of ladies on the floor,
and Meeera Messengers Osiin and Breweter were
very attentive, very gallant, and almost übiquitous.
His Excel eney and Mrs. B. occupied front seats,
the Governor looking devout, Mrs. B. very thin,
petite, with glittering black eyes, and richly drese
ed. wearing a very small purple velvet bonnet
Dr. H ggins is a small, spare man, and dressed iu
that everlasting, abominable funeral black, which
our people wiil persist in wearing, as if they bad

How the solemn sounds seemed to fill that vast

The Governor's levee is for to morrow night, tbe
25th inst., instead of Tuesday night next, the 29th

On Tuesday night, 29tb, Mr. E. D. Brown of the
Miiledgeville Hotel, gives a grand Military Ball at
Newell’s Hall, to which the officers of tbe various
volunteer corps throughout the State are invited.
It is expected to be a grand rally of tbe chivalry
and tbe beauty of the State. The captains of all
the companies are invited to meet him at that time,
to take into consideration what, if any, action is
necessary to be taken for their interests, and tor
the encouragement of the formation ot other vol
unteer companies. As the signs of the times are
so warlike, tha General Assembly has already
passed a resolution authorizing the Governor to
arm ail tbe companies now in Georgia, or which
may be organized within tbe next twelve months.
Tbe old militia system has completely died oat and
become obsolete, and there is now no military
spirit in the State, oat of the towns. Had we, in
every county, an average of one company to each,
as well drilled and disciplined ss the military 00m
panies in Augusta and Macon, Georgia need never
fear an enemy, and any hostile invasion might be
overcome in thirty days. Asa rule, the military
spirit ought not to be encouraged in a tree Repub
lic like ours, but‘here certainly ought to be more
of it, than has been seen iu Georgia within the
last fifteen years. The militia system has been a
perfect humbug, at least since our recollection—
when called out to drill the people went very reluc
tantly, they felt no interest and no pride in the mat
ter, irequently carrying sticks and oornstalks, in
stead of firelocks, into ths ranks, and making a
burlesque of the “brave soldier boy.” But our
well drilled companies, ss all history provss, have
been the very best arm of the public deience, and
fO,UUO volunteers, with the esprit de carps always
existing among them, their last fighting qualities,
and ut'.er igucrance of defeat, are a match for four
t rues their number of any soldiers on this continent,
and the equals of the best trained Highlanders or
Coldstream Guards, or the very flower of the
French infantry. In our humble judgment, the
world has never seen better soldier# in the sharp,
fierce conflict o’ the battle field, though others may
be superior on the road, and in the oarnp.
I wish to record for the benefit of mankind that
we have real milk here, and no mistake. Mi.
Brown keeps the cows on tne premise*—fat, thrifty,
fine looking beasts, that we frequently see, morn
ings and evenings, going from and returning to
their yards. They are all natives, but show evident
marks of being well cared for. The milk bill, if
bought, would doubtless be twioe tbe cost of the
cattle teed, and then the manme, if properly hus
banded, as I presume it is, for Mr. Brown has a
farm, will richly repay the treuble of milking, Act:.,
besides there is the consciousness of having good,
rich, sweet milk, and no chalk mixtures.
This town is Rip Van Winkle enough to have no
knowledge of those “infernal machines” exiled

almost an equal annoyance. Why can not tome

Milledgeville, Nov. 27th.
Mr. Editor : This has been rather a dull Sun
day, for the weather is intolerable for the season of
the year. I observed this morning, walking by the
river, that the Bermuda grass and white Clover are
springing fresh and green from the withered sod,
like hope in the hear’ in the dull, leaden night of
adversity. After a dark, threatening day, the
clouds are going before the West wind to their
home in tbe Atlantic. •
There was a large crowd of citizens and mem
bers, together with a number of the “Baldwin
Blues,” of which he was formerly Captain, turned
out this afternoon to attend the burial of Wm.
Steele, a noble hearted man, wbo has been lor some
few years a lunatic, and wbo was onoe for many
years Clerk of the Courts of this county, and after
wards Secretary of the Executive Department un
der Gav. Johnson. He was a Northern man, who
had lived in this community for the last twenty-five
years, and a more true hearted, whole souled man
never lived. Peace to his ashes.
From my third story window, I observed to-day,
a party of iadiee and gentlemen on the roof of the
Executive Mansion, aud, oddly enough, their gaze
seemed to be directed solely towards the Peniten
tiary Perhaps there might have been a Bank
President or Director, of the party. They need
not fear, however, for his Excellency’s own party
refuse to sanction bis views. Indeed, there never
was a man iu Browu's position who had less of the
respect aud sympathy of these wbo made him what
he is. lie is looked upon with contempt, and
spoken of with derision and scorn, openly and
everywhere, by his partisans in the Legislature.—
Ho is a great neceisity of the times, probably sent
iu tbe Providence of the Almighty to soourge the
Democracy into some sort of decency and self
respect. He will go out of office “unwept, nnhonor
ed and unsung,” and his friends will be gladly re
vived of the incubns.
liichmoni’s beloved Senate, Hon. Thomas W.
Miller, who has been confined to his room for tome
days, by a severe attack of pneumonia, is consid
erably better, as his friends will be very glad to
hear. It was very opportune, indeed, that after
his intiu ate friend and physician, who bad bean
called from Augusta to see him, was compelled to
return home, those two fine specimens of the heal
lng art, Drs. Ford and Campbell, also his friends,
were here in Milledgsvilie, to assist the resident
physician.
The Legislature is working with a will, and there
only remain two weeks before the session will pro
bably close. A large number of bills have been
acted on, but there still remains a large number yet
behind. LoDg speeches have been tabood this ses
sion, and work, instead of talk, has been the order
of the day. This is the case more especially In the
House than the Senate, notwithstanding ths larger
number of members in the House. 1 think no
member has spoken exceeding fifteen minutes in ths
’ House during tbe session, and excepting ths discus
sions on the Keduotion, tbe Siate aid, and the Choio*
bills, there has been comparatively little speaking
iu the Senate. When a member comes here full of
Buncombe, he is soon coughed down, and taught to
know that his infiuenoe does not depend on his
everlasting haranguec. There is, perhaps, not more
than one troublesome speaker in the House, but he
is a man of good sense, though a little prosy, and
doesn't mean any harm by it.
It is almost universally oonoeded that no reduc
tion bill can be passed, though nearly every mem
ber deolares himself in favor of it. Still no plan
can oe agreed on that will carry two thirds, and
that for the very simple, plain, manifest reason,
that a number profess themselves in favor of re
duction, but object to the plan, because at heart
they are oppssed to any reduction, and make these
professions to save thjmselves from Ihe indignation
of their people. The committees, of one from each
Judicial circuit, of the two Houses, have determin
ed to abandon all idea of a reduction bill, and re
oommesd thecallof a Convention. It is probable
the Constitutional Convention bill will pass, and it
is sincerely to be hoped it will.
The bill granting State aid to Railroads still hangs
uneasy in tbe nearly balanced scale, and it is doubt*
ful when it will be called up iu the House. There
is said to be a clever majority for it in a full House,
but there are always ss many absentees, that both
Us friends and opponents fear to bring it up. There
wid likely be considerable discussion on it, when
ever it comes up, aud it* fate depends entirely upon
skilful management—it* friends having ths advan
tage of its foes in that respect.
The bill for the pardon of Wm. A. Choice is set
down for Wednesday next, and do living man can
tell how it will be determined. There is an unusual
and undue excitement on tbe subject, and it is en
vironed with many difficulties. The killing occurred
iu a commuitv which had but a short time before
been outraged by a most wanton and brutal murder,
and there was very naturally an honest aad common
feeiing of indignation areneed against the unfortu
nate slayer, more especially as the slain was an
officer of the law.
This very natural feeling was indulged to ex
tremes, and a verdipt found which has no parallel
in the annals of crime. The people of Atlanta felt
properly indignant, and they felt too that it was
incumbent on them to be very severe, in order to
rid themselves of the odium which so frequently
attaches to a community in which homicides occur.
But never was a verdict of guilty ever known to
be brought In against an eccused party, when all
the experts examined testified to insanity—not one
on the whole criminal records of ths world. Choice
now labors under two alarming difficulties—first,
the popular prejudice existing throughout the State
aga.ust Legislative pardons, and secondly, the un
founded and unjust prejudice against the plea of
insanity. But the Legislature wiil not, dare not
succumb to these prejudices, whsa the life of a
human being depends upon the decision.
Life once taken, can never be restored. Let
members pause a: that reflection, before they
imbrue their hands in human blood. In addition to
the evidence, whieh seems certainly strong enough
to substantiate insanity, or at least to create*
eery rational le doubt of sanity, I happen to know
some circumstances which make it clear aa doou
day that the unfortunate man tr u eiusae at the
timeot the killing. When his counsel, in the con
fidence of secret eonferenoe, desired to know of
the accused where he got the pistol, stating very
frankly that hu life aught depend upon the truth,
he was compelled to answer that he did not know
When the counsel wished to hear something of the
circumstances attending the kiding, for the purpose
o: cross-examining the Stale's Witnesses, ana for
the purpose of getting testimony for the defence
the poor, demented prisoner had not one ray cf
recolUctwn of a ungie eiTCumttar.ce that occurred
on the dsr of the killing, and did not even know
that he had ever teen tuck a man at Hebe, or that
there had ever been each a being in existence.
Poor, poor creature , he was simply walking the
street, with a pistol in hi* hanu, shooting, or at
tempting to shoot, at any thing, and when Webb
saw him, be cried out “don’t shoot,” and Choice
shot him—very probably never even would have
seen him bad Webb not spoken. Shall this man’s
blood be shed by the Legislature, in answer to a
supposed popnlar prejudice ! Will their eonetitu
ent* hold members guiltless—will thtir own con
sciences ? B.

A Petition for Ueferm of the Present System
of Banking in Georgia.
To the Honorable ike Senate and House of
Representatives of the State of Georgia :
The Petition of the undersigned citizens of Au
gusto respectfully ibeweth—
That there is not one of their number who has
•not suffered loss or inconvenience, in consequence
of the abuses to which the vicious system of char
tering banks, which has long prevailed in this
State, has given rise. These corporations are per
mitted by their charters exclusively to exercise the
very lucrative privi ege of issuing and circulating
their engraved paper promisee to pay ooin op de
mand, in euch form as practically to constitute,
from its superior convenience, the principal circu
fating medium of the oountry. In some cases, the
confiding legislator* seem to have relied on the
honor of the corporators, to respect the obligations
under which they were plaoed by law ; in others
tbe stockholders were made liable for tbe payment
of the debts of the corporations; a provision which
experience, in several instances, seems to prove,
rather tends to increase the danger of the bill
holders, by preventing persons able and willing to
comply with all the obligations which they assume,
from associating with others, a majority of whom
they might regard as being, if not less honest, at
any rate, lees prudent than themselves.
The debtora of banks are, in many instances, the
friends or favorites of the directors, and frequently
to a iarge extent, the directors themseives. Under
•ur present banking eyitem, a failure to pay specie,
while it depreciates the bank bills, enables debtors
to purchase them at a discount proportioned to the
distrust with which they are regarded by the public.
Tbe larger the depreciation, the greater is their
gain.
Your petitioners believe that the time has arrived
when a complete reform of the banking system of
this great State has beoome necessary for the pub
lic warfare. It is tree that most of the banks of
Georgia are believed to be perfectly solvent, and
few doubt that a number of them are so. But their
present presidents, dlreotor* and officers may die or
be displaced in oonseqnence of e sal# of stock, or
from other oanses, ana be succeeded by others less
trustworthy, who may, as maty others have done
before them, acquire wealth at the expense of the
bill holders, and retire to distant lands to avoid the
odium which euch oonduot, when detected, wifi
certainly produce.
But it is known that some of those who at pres
ent control banking corporations, eooliy avow the
opinion that they are under no moral obligation
not implied in the letter of the law, under which
they are organised, and that their dgty to their
stockholders, which generally means making the
most money they can, without violating any legal
enactment, is the ultimate limit of their responsi
bility. Recent proceedings have shown that we
have some of this olass in Georgia.
For these reasons, and others which we need not
meLtisn, as they will readily oocnr to your honor
able body, your petitioners respeotfully pray tbat
all banks, the charters of which may hereafter be
granted ur extended, or tbe penalty of forfeiture of
which may be remitted, may be required to pledge
atock of the United Btates, etoek of this State, or
other stock equally good and safe, for the purpose
of securing the prompt payment in coin on demand,
of every bank bill which they may issue, under
each regulations as may be calculated to secure the
objeot in view.
There is reason to hope that, if such a reform as
your petitioners recommend, is adopted by the
Empire State of the South, the same course will
be followed by so many other States, that such
panioa as were experienced in 1857, and at other
times, will be extremely rare, and if pauics causing
a stoppage or suspension of specie payments should
ever oocur, the loae wil’ fail where it should—on the
bankers, and uot on the bill holders.
HTdiENte Hints. —Halt’s Journal of Health says
that the tendency of India rubber shoes is to make
the teet cold, thus endangering the health; hence
they are useful only in walking when tbe ground is
muddy or iloehy with melting snow. In these
cases they are invaluable. When robbers are on the
feet persons should keep meving, and remove them
on entering the house. If the rubbers have been
on the feet several hoars, both shoes and stockings
are neceeearily damp by the oondenßation and con
finment of the perspiration ; therefore, all should be
removed and the naked foot held to the fire till
warm and dry in every part. The same rule holds
good in relation to leather boots and the shoes
made water-proof. For common purposes, leather
boots and shoes are the best, if kept well blacked,
with several renewals of dry socks during the day,
if the feet perspire profusely.
If a man begins to oough, as the result of a 00m
mon oold, it is the result ot nature herself attempt
ing a cure, and she will effect it in her own time,
and more effectually than any man can do if she is
only let alone, and her inatiocta cherished. What
are those inetlnoti ? She abhors food and craves
warmth. Hence, the moment a man Is BAtisfied
that be has taken a oold, let him do three things :
Ist, eat not an atom 1 2d, go to bed and cover np,
in a warm room 1 3d, drink as muoh oold water as
he wants, or as much hot herb tea as he cbd, and,
in three cases out of four, he will be almost entirely
well within thirty six hours. If he does nothing for
his oold for forty-eight hours after the oough
commences, there is nothing that he oau swallow
that will, by any possibility, do him good, for the
oold, with suoh a start, will rua its course of about
a fortnight in spite of all that oan be done, and
medicine will only hinder a cure. “Stuff’ a oold
and starve a fever, ’is a mlsehiaveous fallacy. A
oold always brings a fever -, the cold never begins
to get well till the fever begins to subside, and
every mouthful that is swallowed feeds the fever.
Washington Items.
Several of the ministers of the Gospel, in Wash
ington, on Thursday, in their thanksgiving sermons,
earnestly condemned the expressions of sympathy
for Captain Brown and his companions, and de
clared that their execution was due to jnstioe and
the enormity of their crime.
The number of members of CoDgress in the city
is daily increasing. The organization of the House
of Representatives is with them the prominent
topic of conversation and concern.
The Republican members of the House rely, it
seems, upon the plurality rule for their choice to
organize the House. Should this rule be adopted
they expect no difficulty. Their candidates in the
struggle for the election under the majority vote,
will be Sherman, Corwin, Grow, Stanton of Ohio,
Kellogg, Howell, Clark, Etheridge, Gilmer and H.
Winter Davis. All of these, under different com
binations, or attempted combinations, may be tried
in encoDseion.
Trick in Pork Packins.— The Cincinnati Price
Current has the following:
“Anew trick was developed last season, which is
quite ingenious. In cutting up tho hog, the whole
of the baok bone is left attached to one of the sides,
and then by simply removing the ribs from the
other, a dear side is made with less loss of the bone
than in the usual way. The side with the back
bone attached, is packed as mess pork, or smoked
as bacon, thus compelling the innocent buyer to
pay for more bone than he should. This having
been brought to the notice of pork inspectors of
New York and New Orleans, they are determined,
we understand, that they win pass no pork so put
up, in future.
The Texas Skkatorship. —Our private advices
from Texas represent that at present the contest
for the vacant U. 8. Scnatorship from that State—
a very violent one—is almost wholly between Col.
Wigfall and the Hon. Mr. Reagan, with a pretty
fair proepeot that neither oan be elected 1 and fur
ther, that if this be so, Gen. Houston will, in ail
probability, be hie own sneesor, as there exists
little doubt tbat If be will accept a re-election, he
can in the end command the votes of a majority of
the Texas Legislature. We entertain little doubt
of the correctness of this imformation.

Jnstioe Daniel lies in a very critical condition, and
his life is despaired of by friends who have wit
nessed the progress of the disease whioh now pros
trates him so aangeronsly. His age dlaoourages to

the physicians are not altogether despondent of the

Th Old Brow* Kescde—The Consfiract. —
According to a reported oonvereation with Gov.
Wie* recently, be has no doubt of the existeuoe of
secret societies in various portions of Ohio aud
elsewhere, the members of which are bound by
oathe not only to rescue old Brown, but to take
revenge on those who were instrumental in the
conviction of him and his associates for their of
ences at Harper's Ferry. The letters which the
Governor has received npon this subject a e from
men in whose word he places the fullest confidence,
but whese names will not be revealed by him. It
was doubtless the belief of the existence of snoh
ocieties—numbering, as was reported to him, thou
sands of membeis—for the purposes related, that
led the Governor reoently to call out an additional
number of troope.
A Nobli Little Girl —One of our exchanges
contains an account of the death, on last Thursday
week, of a little girl of 8 or 9 years, daughter ot Mr.
Traverse Gough, living a few miles from Haymar
ket,Va. In the absence of all older than herself,
her clothing took fire. She tried to suppress the
flames herself ; then she asked her little sister of
four years to throw water on her ; but the little one
ran, instead, to oall the neighbors. When they
came, they fonnd her lying out in the yard, aud, in
reply to the question “what she was doing there TANARUS”
she said, she thought if she staid in the honse that
the bouse would catch fire, and burn the baby up
too. Wbat a noble, sensible remark for one bo
young! She retained all her faculties to the last,
conversed freely, and bore her sufferings with a
degree of fortitude truly remarkable for oue of her
age. The interesting little creature deserved a
better fate.
A WoMAH Passino as a Man for Forty Tears.
—A most extraordinary revelation was made at an

the evening an inquest was held. Oo inquiry, it
was found that tbe deceased, who went by the
name of Harry Stokes, was in fact a woman . that
eh* had worked as a bricksetter for about a quarter
of a oentury ; that she had been twice married du
ring that period; had kept a beer shop in Manches

addition, that the patriotic ladies of the Aeeociation
have had and will have no difficulty whatever,
about the matter, We are also glad to learn that
the purchase money is almost all made up and that
a fund is being raised to put the estate in thorough

Rio dir. ct, but one of 6035 bags has been received from
New York, and the stoek now on hand is about 53,500
bags, against 14,500 at the same date last year.
Exchange— Since Friday last there has existed a very
good inquiry for both f rafts on England and Domestic
Bills, whUst bdls on France have in a measure been
neglected. Bills on England have been less freely offer
ed and prices, owing to a very good inquiry have stiffen
ed. We quote clear bills e® 9 and 9t percent, prem.
Bills with shipping documents attached range from 7|®
8* per cent prem. Bills on France have bee j somewhat
neglected, the market is not well supplied, nor is the
inquiry any ways active; we quote for extremes 5.17*®
5.22} per dollar. Time and afta, say 60 days bids on New

Bank checks $ per cent., and out-of-door kills fo* per

Freights —In our review of last Saturday morning we
remarsed that the European Freight marset exhibited
a declining tendency. Owing to the numerous arrival!
from eta since then, together with the large number of
vessels already on the berth, shipmasters have been
compelled to lower their preten-ions still farther. On
Saturday two ships were taken for Liverpool at a *d for
Cotton, and two or three for the Continent at rates not
made publie On Monday two or three more were taken
for Liverpool at same rate, and one for Havre at 1 l-16e
for Cottiiii- Ships on the berth are now freely accepting
*d to Liverpool and one cent to Havre. These, in fact,
are now the established rates, and will, as usual, govern
the engagements to other ports.
MEMPHIS, Nov. 26. —[Enquirer.]— Cotton —The sales
yesterday amounted to 3300 bales at slightly easier fig
ures. The foreign advices from Liverpool, whee came
to hand yesterday about noon, bringing nearly $ decline
produced some dullness in the market, and it closed
with a declining tendency. The better descriptions of
cotten only were in demand, while the lower were drag
ging. Sales of 1236 bales transpired on Thursday
Prices were general y unchanged. The cotton house*

CHARLESTON, Nov. 25.—[Courier.] —- Cotton —
There was a very good inquiry for this article on the

want of shipping facilities and the advancing tendency
in the rate t f freight, as we have before stated, checked
operations, and the market closed quietly, but firm, at
11 ®ll4c for Good Middling, and 114 ®ll3cfor Middling
Fair. The present week opened with a very fair de
mand, but the same obstacles seemed to obtrude them
selves, and the transactions during the fir it two days did
not exceed 2450 bales. The position of affairs did not
suit the views of holders, who, in the face of a large* and
accumulating stock, were anxious to realize, and there
was rather a declining tendency in prices, and this re
mark will apply with equal force to the operations of
Monday, which were confined to some 1338 bales. The
disposition evinced by ho ders to meet the demaud
brought purchasers out In full force, and during Tues
day and Wednesday 7860 bales changed hands, aud
when we closed our inquiries on the latter day, prices
were 4 c easier on most qualities. The market opened
on Friday with the Circassian's advices to hand, showing
a decline in the Liverpool market. Thi3 fact, taken in
connection with a stringent foreign freight market, have
further depressed prices. The sales of the day, which
may be classed among the largest of the season’reached
5436 bales, and the week closes at a 4c decline on most
classifications. The receipts since our last reach 22,867
bales, and the aggregate amount sold in the same time
will foot np up 17,000 bales. We quote Low to Strict
Middling 104®104 ; Good Middling 10i®ll, and Mid
dlingFair 114® 114 c.
Rice —This esculent attracted a good deal of attention
until towards the close of the week, when the demand
fell off, which fact, taken in connection with heavy re
ceipts, have depressed prices ; and when we closed our
inquiries, the market was an 4c under the opeuing fig
ures. The bulk of the sales have been made within the
range of $3 7 16 ®34 per hundred.
Corn— The arrivals by Railroad comprise 981 bushels.
This description has been selling at from $1 to $1.03,
sack included.
Hay— The receipt since our lasthave reached upwards
of 1000 bales North River, which have been sold at
prices ranging from $1,124 to $1.16 per 100 fts.
Flour —The market continues quiet. The stock is
light, and the sales have established ful prices. Extra
in barrels has been selling at $7®74 per bbl., and Super
fine in bags and barrels from $6J®7 per bbl.
Salt —The receipts since our last comprise some 8500
sacks, 24000 of which was the parcel referred to in our
last as having been sold at 874 c per sack, The balance,
comprising 6000 sacks, is afloat unsold.
Groceries—' The transactions in Sugars have been con
fined to some 70 hhds. Muscovados, of recent importation,
at prices ranging irom 6f®7c. There was also a sale us
250 bbls. Muscovado Molasses, of dire: t importation, at
27c per gallon. Nothing was done in Coffee. There
was an arrival yesterday of 700 bbls. and about 200
hhds Sugar from New Orleans. This arrival is the first
of the new crop. The cargo has not yet been broken,
but we presume the bulk ot it will be offered lor sale to
day
Exchanges —The transactions in Sterling Bills have
established lower rates. The market, which opentd at
94®9|, closed yesterday at 9®94 per cent prem. We
quote Francss.l74®s 20. The Domestic rates remain
the same as previously reported.
Freights —The early engagements this week to Liver
pool were made at 4<L for Upland, and this has been con
sidered the current rate during this period, a 1 though a
British vessel is said to have commenced loadirg yester
day at 15-32d, and some freight had been engaged for a
vessel expected at 7-16d; but as we said before, 4d is con
sidered the current rate at the time we write. The Havre
rate has fluctuated between Jand lc, and the last engage
ments were at these figures. The tonnage continues
very light, and there is very little space at present un
occupied. Coastwise shipments are not so active as they
were last week, and the rates are on the decline. We
quote, by steamers, 7-16 c. The early engagements to
New York, in sailing vessels, were at 7-16 c, but the most
recent ones were at Bc. We quote to Boston lc, and to
Philadelphia 4c.
WEST POINT, Nov. 24. -[Citizen.!— Cotton— ln con

CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 26.—[Gazette.]— Remarks—
Business daring the week has been dull. The river is
too lowforuny business from that source. At this
writing (nine o’clock Friday night) it is raining, how
ever, and it is hoped it will continue until the river shall
be in good boating order. In the pork trade buyers and
sellers are at logger-heads as to pr ices, and consequently
no sales have been made. WehaAe gathered the fol
lowing report of prices, which we believe are correct:
Bacon—Hams 124, Shoulders 11, Sides 114 c. Pork 6c,
nett. Apples—Green, $1.25 per bushel. But'er 18 ®2.

MOBILE, Nov. 26.—[Advertiser.]—Cotton.—There
ceipts since November 18th have been 25,500 bales, as
follows : from the Alabama river 12,323, Bigbee 1097,
and by Railroad 12,080 bales, against 22,885 bales for
the corresponding week last year. The .exports have

Queenstown and a Market 1561, Havre 2251, Trieste

1619 bales—against 22,fc64 bales last year. The stock
on hand and on shipboard not cleared is 129,659 bales,
against 95,228 bales at the same date last year.
On Saturday, the first day of the week under reAiew,
there was an active and general demand and full 5,000
bales changed hands, the market closing very firmly
without quotable change. On Monday, a good demand
again existed and the sales were 3750 bales, the market
closing quietly. On Tuesday the demand was very ac
tive and general and the sales r ached 7500 bales, the
market very firm on the Middling aid better qualities,
grades below abundant and dull of sale—Middlings 10|
®lo|c. On Wepoesday the inquiry was again general
and the sales amounted o 4000 bales, prices up a little,
the market very firm atl&4c for Middlings. Od Thurs
day a food demand prevailed and factors claimed very
fail rates, which were paid for even-running lists, very
little desirable Cotton offering ; the sales were 2500
bales, the market closing steady—Middlings 104 c. On
yesterday (Friday) the market opened with a good In
quiry, and sales of 1500 bales were made at very full
prices, when the steamer Circassian, of the 12ih, was
telegraphed, and put a complete stop to business. The
total sales of the week count up 24,250 bales.

nR. BRONSON, having been so far reduced by
consumption, as to be considered beyond *1! hope
of recovery by the most eminent of tbo medical pofea
sion, and also by himself—a regular phyisicisn of twen
ty years practice—as a resort, conceived the idea of
an&l} zing the blood, and applying the subject of phys
iology to the more immediate connection, and effect of
the state of the blood upon the health and system. The
result has been the production of the “BLOOD FOOD,”
from the use of which Dr. Bronson was restored to per
fect health Within six months after its introduction,
over two thousand consumptives were effectually cared
by it. If you have any complaints of a consumptive
tapdency, Cough, Cold, Head-Ache, Palpitation of the
Ileart, Loss of Appetite, or Pain in the Side, lose no
time in procuring a botte of the “BLOOD FOOD.” If
you are suffering from Nervous Debility, or your sleep
is broken or disturbed, if your Spirits are Depressed, or
your Organs Relaxed, you will find in this an unfailing
remedy, by commencing with ten drops. If your
Liver is torpid or diseased in any.manner whatever,
one or two bottles will be sure to invigorate, and briDg
it into lively and healthful action. In the most invet
erate of Dyspepsia, the patient can here fl id the
most efficient and grateful relief. A benefit is always
experienced after taking only one bottle. In male or
female Complaints and Weakness, the sufferer, after
trying other remedies in vain, may rest aslured, that a
certain cure will result from the use of two or three
bottles. The “BLOOD FOOD” is effectual in all cases
of Eruption, Salt Rheum, Scrofulas and other like ci m
plaints. Pa'e and emaciated children and adults are
eminently benefited by its use. It gives strength to the
body and color and beauty to the skin. Physicians of
all schools are using it with wonderful success.
For fal: directions, see circulars. Price $1 per bottle.
IN r resentl lg you with DR. EATON'S INFANTILE
CORDIAL, we desire to state its superiority over
every nostrum that nurse or quack has heretofore of
fered you.
First —It is the preparation of a regular physician,
who is well qualified from much experience in infantile
complaints to prescribe for them, Secondly—lt is en
tirely free form paregoric or opiate of any kind, and
congf-qently relieves by removing the suffering of your
child, in&tead of deadening its sensibilities. Thirdly—
It is put up with great care as a comparison of it with
any other article for infantine complaints will show;
the very roots from with it is distilled being dug from
the forest under the directio-j of Dr. Eaton, many of
them bv his own hands. Fourthly—lt is perfectly
harmless and cannot injure the most delicate infant, and
is a certain cure and relief in all the following cases,
which is its chief merit over every other preapara
tion, viz :
FOR ALL COMPLAINTS ATTENDING TEETH
ING; such as DYSENTERY, COI4P, Ac ; also, for
softening the gums and relieving paio, For regulating
the bowels it Is unequalled. For Cold in the Head it is
a sure relief. For CROUP, the most fatal and trying of
diseases, it can be relied on with perfect confidence;
and being a powerful anti spasmodic in all cases of con
vnlsion or fits, we earnestly recommend you to loose no
time in procuring it. Lastly—lt costs so much more
than other preparations of the kind, that we cannot af
ford such long advertisements as can those whose whole
expense is their advertisements; for the same reason,
it cemmeods itself as the most reliable to all mothers; —
in all cases, the directions wrapped around each
bottle, most be strictly iollowed. Price 25 cents per
bottle.

J. J. MAPES, Esq : C ° LUMBIA ’ 8
Dear Sir—l have very great pleasure In writing you,
touching the effects of your Super-Phosphate of Lime)
on our Cotton crop. Having tested it against four other
preparations, I find the appearance of the plant is moat
hopeful and promising, as regards a large and remuner
ating yield. I feel certain your manure wiL give from
one hundred to one hundred aud thirty pounds of Cotton
more than any other preparation per acre.
It is a remarkable fact that no Rust is seen In the
plant where your manure has been used, while all
others show Rust more or less, and this is especially the
rase where Guano has been used.
And last though not lea*t, as regards the Planter’*
interest, I feel certain that Cotton from Soper Phos
phate will weigh much heavier than from any other pre
paration ; in this particular, I believe Phosphate are
destined to work the greatest possible revolution in the
Cotton growing States of the Sooth.
The plants look most vigo-oas and luxurious,4ome
bong six teet high, and holding from fcightv to ons
Luuored and ten b.lls each stalk.
X am, very truly, H. LOMAS
