The Work* of Charles Lam*. In four volumes.
A New Edition. Boston : Crocby, Nichols, Lee
A Company.
Charles Lamb will ever occupy an honored
niche in the temple of fame—a favored place in
the hearts of all who are familiar with his life and
writing. There is something in the character of
the man so irresistibly winning, that we come to
love him in spite of ourselves. And the later rev- |
elation* of his history give him so much true no- j
bilitt exhibit so strikingly his 1 fe-long devotion
and •'. If-'aorifice —show so clearly the generous
•Tiipuif’* us 1 * a soul, that our reverence for him is
enhanccdVianv fold. The friend and companion
of Coleridge, Wo ft worth, Socthet, Hazlitt.
Hunt, and many other brilliant but lesser lights, ■
his name and works are intimately associated with
an interesting and eventful period in English lit- j
erature. II - letters to these worthies, as well as
those to Maxsino, Barton, Dyer, Lloyd, etc.,
form the most delightful epistolary reading in the
language. We never take them up without fresh
feelings ot admiral; a for the author. But why
nhoulti Wf say ev.-n this much of Lamb? The
world knows his history, venerates his name, anu ,
will continue V> read his works. Let us say, how- j
ever, that the “ F— ay* of Elia” are a part of our ;
* c iajKfull as they are with delicate humor, |
exquisite pathos, quaint fancies and able criticism, j
When we cease to sdrairo theaa beautiful creations !
of his brain, then ft thing of beauty will cease to |
be a joy forever.
Talyourdexecuted his task con amort and with 1
rare fidelity; the work of arranging Lamb’s cor- j
respondent, and forming the whole into a con |
tinuous narrative, could not have been entrusted
to better hands. It is likely no one else will at
tempt do again what has been so well done by
Tai.koi rd—for our part, at least, we desire no
<-cond attempt.
The first volume of this new and complete edi
tipn contains I.amb’s earlier letters, and is embel
lished with n fine portrait, taken, we should
judg’ ,at em advanced period of his life. Care has
plowed deep furrows in that fine thoughtful face ;
nevertheless, nobleness and truth have left their
ineffaceable impress upon the countenance. A
better portrait, perhaps, is the following verbal
lirnnm by Tai-fourd himself: “ M©thinks 1 see
him before rae now, as he appeared at our first
meeting, and u he continued, with scarcely any
perceptible alteration to me, during the twenty
\ earn of intimacy that followed, and were closed
by his death. A light frame, so fragile that it
seemed as if a breath would overthrow it, clad in
clerk-like black, was surmounted by a head of
form and < xpru-.ion the most noble and sweet, i
i Ilia black hair, curled < nsply about an expanded i
varying expn--.ion, though tin* prevailing feeling
was wad ; and • .oe nose slightly carved, and deli
cately curved at the nostril, with the lower outline
of the face regularly ovai, completed a head w hich
was finely placed on the shoulders, and gave im
portance and even dignify to a diminutive and
shadowy stern. Who snail describe Ins counte
nance, catch iti quivering sweetness, and fix it
forever in words? There are none, alas, to an
swer the vain desire of friendship. Deep thought
striving with humor, the lines or mi tiering wreath
cd into cordial mirth, and a smile of painful
sweetness, present an image to the mind it can as
little describe as lose/’
The second volume embraces the balance of the
Letters and “ Final Memorials.” The third con
tains the world renowned “ Essays of Elia,” and
“Popular Fallacies.” The fourth and last has
“ Rosamund t.rav, E - ivs, Oitinsms of the Eng
lish Drahiatic Writers, the Flays, Poems, Ac.—
The edition as a w hole must take the precedence
of ail others in tin* country. We grow particular
in our taste after reading such splendid volumes,
with Much perfection of printing, delicate tinted
upper hi*/) elegant binding—and can hardly go
Jiuck to anything inferior in the “Art preserva
live.” Nothing finer can he wished than a library
stocked with books like these—valuable alike in
their contents and adornments.
The work is sold ‘dirt cheap”—five dollars for
the ‘•ot. It may he obtained through any of our
booksellers, or ordered direct from the Publish
ers, AL ?sis. Cinisiiv, Nichols, Ebb A Cos., Boston,

An unusual and, in our opinion, very objection
able practice lias been inaugurated with this ora
of Conventions, of excluding the public from their
deliberations and passing much of their tiin- in
secret session- a practice w hich we trust will not
be adopted by the (Georgia Convention now in
MCKsion. No sufficient reason has yet boen assign
ed for this distrust of the people, nor, ns we con
ceive, cun any he given. Publicity in our legisla
live tnd judicial bodies is ons of the most impor
tant safeguards of liberty and justice, and upon
no reasonable grounds can it he asserted that it is
proper to couce.il from the people the acts of their
servants.
If it is claimed that it may ho necessary to con
ceal from an enemy tho debates of the Conven
tion, it may lie answered that they etc of very lit
tle consequence, tho result must sooner or later
be known every where, and to an ouemy, tho re
sult alone is of consequence, the process by which
it is arrived at is immaterial, provided it is fair
nnd legal. With the honorable, intelligent and
high-toned class of men who compose the Soutb
•*rtf Conventions, an enemy has little chance for
•orruption or intrigue.
Naturally, ihe people, who are profoundly in
terested iu the action of the Convention, will feel
disttust when its proceedings arc so studiously
concealed. Any who are disposed to ho discon
tented with its decision, will not be likely to be
be better satisfied when they are prohibited from
knowing the reasons and process by which that
decision is attained -and every cause for dissen
sion among our own people, even the slightest,
ought in the present crisis to be carefully avoided.
The delegates are responsible to tho people, and
should not tear to submit to the popular tribunal
all their proceedings. We can see no valid reas
ons why the Conventions should thus rather ot
t*ntat iau*ly cloak their proceedings in a “dark
lantern” mystery, and delegates should bear in
mind that no small share of the obloquy under
which the notorious Hartford Convention has lain
for nearly fifty years, arose not solely from its de
signs, which have been accounted innocent and
patriotic once or twice in the lapse of those years,
But principally from its sitting with “closed doors.”
It was imagiued that something very heinous was
concealed under all that mystery, that they “loved
darkness rather than light because their deeds
were evil,” but they in reality shut out the public
only because they belonged to that class of politi
cians who, us .Ikkkkkson said, feared the people,
and the decision of the people has consequently
“datnnml them to everlasting fame.”

The enterprise of publishing, in a beautiful and
appropriate dress, the Historical Works of Henry
Ham.au, is one that must be favorably received
by the American public. No edition has as yet
been issued in this country that can compare with
this, thus far, in all the essentials of n good li
brary edition. It is what every student of Eng
lish historical literature, every admirer of argu
mentative power, nice analysis nnd critical acu
men every bibliomaniac, even, who craves tho
possession of recherche books, will desire to call
his own. Messrs. Crosby, Nichols, Lbs A Cos.,
are living good service in giving us uniform edi
lions of standard ami classical works like these,
in sue i a tasteful nnd becoming dress.
The three volumes now under notice comprise
a “ View of the State of Europe during the Middle
Ages”- a most interesting period of Old World
history ; to be followed by “ The Constitutional
History of Euglaud, from the Accession of Hunky
VII. to the Heath of George ll.and by the “ Iu |
troductiouto the Literary History of Europe in I
the Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centu
ries.” The whole series will be comprised in ton
volumes.
Hai.lam's reputation as a historian has been so
long and firmly established—his vast and varied ;
acquirements are so patent to the reading world, |
that nothing iu the way of ©ulogium is now re
quired to add lustre to his name;—yet we cannot j
forbear quoting Mun i.at, who, in makiug a com ;
parisou between Hallam and Scott, says: “Sir ,
Walter ott gives us a novel; Mr. Hallam a
critical and argumentative history. Both are oc- 1
cupied with the same matter. But the former
looks at it with the eye of a sculptor. His inton .
tion is to give an express and lively image of its j
external form. The latter is an anatomist. His j
task is to dissect the subject to its inmost recess
os, and to lay before us all the spring* of motion
and all the causes of decay.” The distinguished
essayist from whom we cite, further remarks:
4 ‘Mr. Hallam is better qualified than any o*.her
writer ot our time for the office which he has tin ,
dertaken. IU has great industry and great acute
ness. His knowledge is extensive, various and
profound. His mind is equally distinguished by
the amplitude of its grasp and by ihe delicacy of
its tact. His speculations have none of that
vagueuess which is the common fault of political
philosophy. On the contrary, they are strikingly
practical. They teach us not only the general
rule, but the mode of applying it in particular
cases.”
It is worthy of mention, that the volume of
“Supplemental Notes,” published in is now
incorporated in the original work.
The energetic and popular Publisher* have our
bent wishes for their pecuuiarv success in their
enterprise of issuing, in all the beauty and rich
uess of paper and print which distinguishes the
books emanating from the “ Riverside Press.” the
historical works of Hbsrt Hallam, to match their
elegant Library Editions of Hume, Gibbon, Ma
caulay, Ac. And we feel confident they will meet
with the most generous support in all sections of
our common country.
Ihv aeries of Haul am’s Histories, or any of the
works enumerated iu the advertisement, which
may be found in another column, may be obtained
direct from the Publishers, or ordered through

From the Mercury of Monday we take the fol

An officer of Fort Sumter, on Saturday, called
at our counting room and subscribed for the
Charleston Mercury, to be mailed to him at Fort

Refusal to Sell Revolvers to South Caroli
na. We learn that in cousequenco of the Into
charge of Judge Smalley, of New York, the agent
of Colt’s revolvers in that city has refused *to till
any orders from this State for those weapons.
The following wo clip from the Courier of the
same date :
Tub Flag or South Carolina.—The Joint Com
mittee of both Houses of the Legislature, on
Saturday uight, made choice of a flag or ensign
suitable to be born bv South Carolina. The Com
mittee will report t\ie result of their labors to
day. The Hag chosen will consist of a plian white,
ground, with a greon Pahnotto tree iu the centre,
ami a white crescent in tin* left upper corner on
a square blue field.
Youthful Voluxthrrs. Benjamin C. Pawley,
of Hpottsvlvania, Ya., aged PI years, was on u
visit to Petersburg, Vn., when he heard of the
occupation of Fort Sumter, and the probability of
war against South Carolina. He immediately
sent his horse home, and set out for Charleston,
walking u great, part of tile way.
On his arrival here, and the report of his inten
tion, Col. John S. Preston generously undertook
to equip him, and he is now awaiting response
from him to be enrolled as a recruit under Lieut.
W. Hampton Gibbea.
Colutnhus Daniel, 18 years of age, has reached
the city from Nashville on a similar mission, and
lias been enrolled by Lieut Gibbcs.
A Goon Kxohanok.- President Bn cl) a nun, who
seems only capable of n “property” view of tin*
great political movement of the day, seized and
occupied Fort. Sumter, in violation of plighted
faith and in menace against tho South.
In return ho gave us Fort Pulaski, and the
State of Georgia, previously considered doubtful
by many friends and advocates of secession.
It will be easy to take Fort Sumter when necessa
ry, but can the Union recapture Georgia? It has
been a very good exchange for the South, and the
President, in order to gam tho false and treacher
ous approval of the Abolitionists, who for three
years have denounced him, lias done more for the
ftouth than he could have done by non-action, or
by open defence of the South.
Tin n to tuh South.—The National Volunteers,
a military organization at the Federal Capitol,
embracing some 500 names, held a meeting a few
nights since at Harmony Hall, which was attended
by a majority of the members.
Capt. K. Cleary was chosen President, and J.
11. Gantt, Esq., Secretary of the meeting. Able
and fervent addresses were delivered bv Dr.
Boyle, F. A. Aiken, Esq., and L. Q. Washington,
Esq., who introduced a preamble and resolutions,
which were adopted unanimously, with tremen
dous applause.
The preamble says that the Federal compact has
been repeatedly and grossly violated by the
North, and is no longer a shield of defence for the
rights of all, but anngency by which the doctrines
of the ‘“higher law” may be carried on at such
times nnd in such manner as its advocates may
consider expedient. It deprecates the attempt to
convert Washington into an armed camp by en
rolling the militia, and odds, that if Maryland and
Virginia should resume sovereign power, the re
teution of this city by tho Black. Repub.ican Gov
ernment would be not only uusafe but impracti
cable. We hold, then, that the destinies of Wash
ington are intimately linked with the States of
Virginia and Maryland, and that to oppose their
their action would be ruin to every property hold
er in this city. Therefore,
Resolved, i. That we will stand by and defend
the South, and that under no circumstances will
we assume a position of hostility to her interests j
or affiliate with a military organization prompted
by a partisan spirit to subserve the aims of the
Black Republican party.
2. That the reign of terror attempted to be in
augurated in our midst is a system of tyranny
which calls for tho most emphatic rebuke. *
H. That we will aid each other and all good citi
zens against abolition violence, and attacks upon
private property.
4. We will act in event of the withdrawal of
Marylaud nnd Virginia from the Union in such
manner ns shall best secure ourselves and those ;
States from the evils of n foreign aud host ile gov
| eminent within their borders.

“Arrival of the Stats of Georgia.—Affairs
in Sava.wau.—The steamer State of Georgia, af
ter a voyage of sixty-eight hours from Savannah,
arrived ut this port on Saturday. Among the |
passengers were three members or the “Savannah I
Blues,’ who left tbe State upon being requested j
lo enlist in the army. They are Northerners by !
birth, but hay© long resided iu Savannah. Upon I
di dining the request made to them, thev were al
lowed to return to their old home, which they |
were not slow to do, rather than bear arms against, i
their own section.”
We are authorized bv Mr. V. L. Gue, First Scr- !
gcant ot the Republican B!u- S , of this i*itv--lhe
only company known as the Savannah Blues—to I
pronounce the above statement, which wo clip j
from tbe New York World, an unmitigated and I
outrageous falsehood. No members ot the Sa- I
vnnnah Blues w<*rc passengers on the State of I
Georgia, on her trip to New York, nor have three,
or any other number of members of the company,
left it or tho State on bciug requested to enlist in

Beware of Cotntkrkeits.—Our friend C B. I
Martin, Esq., lias shown ifs a well executed coun
terfeit $lO bill on the Mechanics’ Bank of this
eny, receioed at the Georgia Railroad Bank, from
Sa\ # anuah. The general appearance of the bill is
good, but upon close examination the signatures
of the Cashier and President will be discovered to
be counterfeit. The “S” in the signature of
T. 8. Metcalf, in this bill, resembles'a T. The
signatures of the President ami Cashier of the
Mechanic Bum!:, in a genuine note, appear at the
bottom, in this it the centre. At the right and
left margin of the bottom of this bill are two
vignettes of mechanical arts, and between them
the letter X, with No. 70 ‘, A. State of Georgia, on
its face. The date of its issue purports to be Oct.
•Ith, 1 _ ‘fin* letter X, and. the word ten, are
printed with red ink, ami can be seen through it. j
Altogether it is a dangerous counterfeit., although j
experts will readily detect it. The Mechanics’ I
Bunk have no such plate, used in this bill. The I
vignettes* are rather dark. We would warn our ;
readers to be ou their guard.
Several similar bills have been received from I
Tennessee, aud as the Augusta Races are soon to |
come off*, there will no doubt be large quantities
of this counterfeit attempted to be palmed off* up j
on the unsuspecting.— Dispatch.

Burning of the Steymspip William Jenkins.— •
Yesterday morning, about 1 o’clock, the alarm of j
fire was given, and it was soon known that the j
steamship William Jenkins, Capt. iiullett, lying
at Carle*ou’s wharf, near the gas house, was on 1
tire. She was immediately cut loose from the j
wharf and moored on tlie other side of the river. \
The .L ukins arrived iu our port, from Boston via *
Baltimore, < n Friday afternoon last, with u full j
cargo. At tbe time of her catching tire she had |
but a portion of her cargo discharged. The Jen- i
kms was a sido-wheel steamer, of about l f ooo j
tons, and owned in Baltimore by Messrs. Jenkins ;
A De Ford. Previous to her trip from Boston to !
this port, she came out of the dry dock at Wil- i
mingtmi. having had some sStv'nV) worth of re- j
j pairs done. She was worth about #50,000, aud !
will prove a total loss. The origin of the fire, we ,
learn, was accidental.— Sar.h. A, 20tA.
The Tr ops for Pensacola. —lt is reported I
here that owing to the number of troops already j
concentrated at Pensacola and on the hue ot march !
1 thither, the Governor of Alabama has counter- I
i minded the order to the Barbour county compa- !
; nies. We will not vouch for the correctness of !
| this rumor, however. If the Administration in- j
| tends to blockade the port of Pensacola, as report- ‘
! ed by telegraph, it would seem the better policy j
to get possession of Fort Pickens before the 1
blockading squadron arrives and strengthens
Lieut. Slimmer’s position. If so, the larger the j
’lumber of troops concentrated by the States at <
; Pensacola, the better.
Since the above was in type we learn the re- j
| port is true. —Columbus Sun ,

Resignation of Another Federal Officer. —
W e understand that our old friend and school- .
mat-, Lieut. John H. Forney, U. S. A., has re
’ iiis commission, and offered his services to
Gov. Moore. After graduating at West Point,
1 with die highest honors, Lieut. Forney was sta
; tioned iu Utah for several years, and was subse
! quently promoted to the position of drill officer ut
I the military institution above mentioned, where
jhe remained until the time of his resignation. He
• is a gallant fellow, thoroughly skilled in military
I tactics, and deserving of any position with which
! he might be honored. —Montgomery Advertiser.
Fort Morgan. —lt is no holiday work for the
, spruce Mobile soldiery, this occupation of Fort
Morgan. They are laboriously devoting them-
I selves to getting the fortress iu defensible order,
mounting cannon and doing other heavy work.
They had some twelve guns in position yesterday,
and expect soon to have a battery of forty pieces
grinning across tiie channel. The black looking
war steamer Crusader is lying olf at her anchors
saying nothing, but, perhaps, doing a great deal
of thinking. —Mobile Advertiser.
We learn from the Montgomery papers that the
•minority of the Committe which* reported the se
cession ordinance made a counter report, which
was rejected by u vote of 46 to 54, and that the
vote ou the question of submitting the action of
tho Convention to a vote of the people stood 47 to
53. —Columbus Knquirer.
Killed by the Fall ok a Tree. —Wo learn that
a very clever man by the name of John Hender
son, who resided some eight or ten miles west of
town was killed on Friday last by the falling of a
tree. Mr. Henderson was cutting rail limber. A
tree that he had just cut, in falliug bore down an
other tree, the top of which broke off before reach
ing the ground so as to let the body fly back with
such force as to full in the opposite direction, the
end of it striking Mr. Henderson, crushed his
skull, broke liis neck, his back in two places, and
one arm and one leg, mangling him at a horrible
ra to.— Talladega (Ala.) Reporter.
Killed.—We are pained to learn that Mr. David
I Greenbiil, of this county, was accidentally killed
j on last Monday. Our informant states that Mr.
t G. was going down to see a brother who lives in
j the vicinit y of Barton, and was,riding a fractious

! and jumped into the stockgap—the train passing
! over him and causing instant death.— Tuscumbia

! Conflagration at Dadrvji.i.k, Ala. —From the
! Tallapoosa Times Extra, of Friday morning, we
1< .111 that about 1 o’clock that morning, the en
, tire block of buildings fronting the North side of
, the public square was consumed by lire. The
! loss is estimated at $40,000, with little covered by
; insurance. The Times thinks it the work oF an
; incendiary from the fact that fire was also dis
j covered on the East side of the square while the
j other block was burning. The fire on the East
side was discovered in the shavings under the
Turning Lathe of a Cabinet shop. The store
house of J. Newman &, Bro., T. llatcner, Paige A
Fleishel, and the grocery store of L. Davenport,
and retail grocery of B. S. Smith, and the carriage
shop of Hendrix, are the principal buildings con
sumed. Messrs. Paige <fe Fleishel, and J. New
man & Bro., were covered partly by insurance.
Judge Wm. G. Jones, of tho U. S. District
Court for tho Southern District of Alabama, and
Attorney A. J. Requier, of the same District,
have resigned those offices since the secession of
their State. Tho Mobile Register, of the 13th,
gives it us a rumor prevalent upon the streets,
that “all of the late Federal nfficers have received
appointments frem Alabama to the several offices
heretofore hold by them.”

WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
Washington, Jan. 16.—C01. Hayne, the Com
missioner from South Carolina, has, it is under
stood, moderated his views since his arrival here,
and will remain for several days longer.
The opinion is almost unanimous in secessiou
circles that all collision between the Federal and
State governments should be studiously avoided.
Col. Hayne has been daily, since his arrival
here, consulting with the leaders of the secessiou
movement here, who are opposed to precipitating
: hostilities.
It is believed that stroug representations have
been made, within the past few days, urging the
authorities of South Carolina to afi'ord Major An
| derson every facility for marketing and obtaining
i other domestic supplies.
A plan is now before the Committee on Federal
Relations of the Virginia House of Delegates,
which is regarded as of great interest in political
circles here. The idea£mauated with Hon. R. A.
Pryor, Congressman of Virginia, and receives the
t cordial endorsement of Messrs. Crittenden, Doug
las, Breckinridge, W. C. Rives, and other distiu
guished gentlemen—embracing all shades of
! Southern and conservative opinions. The plan
alluded to is as follows :
j First, There must be some definite and conclu
| sive settlement of the slavery question, or sepa-
1 ration is inevitable; Second, Proposing the Crit
j teuden compromise, as amended by Douglas, us
the basis of a fair and honorable adjustment of
j existing difficulties, and as the least which Vir
i ginia feels she could accept as a settlement;
Third, The appointment of a Commissioner to
j eac h State in the Union, respecting the action of
I V lrginia, and inviting from them a response to
this measure of conciliation; Fourth, A strong
appeal to the Federal Government to stay its
hand, and avoid all acts which may lead to collis
ion, pending the mediation of Virginia; Fifth,
An appeal to the seceding States to preserve the
existing status of governmental aflairs within
their limits, and to abstain from all acts which
may precipitate to collision.
A dispatch from a distinguished source in Vir
ginia says that there is no doubt that this plan
will pass both Houses of the Legislature.
Similar movements will be made in the Legis
latures ol Missouri, North Carolina, Tennessee
and Kentucky. Arrangements are making here
for that purpose.

of the House of Representatives in regard to the

ment of everything he knows relative to this

tive to the defeat of Crittendeu’s compromise in

again to-morrow under the motion to reconsider.
Washington, Jan. 18. —The New York Herald’s
correspondent says that the President’s instruc
lions to Major Anderson are to act strictly on the
defensive, but if the authorities repeat the experi
ment of tiring upon vessels, Fort Sumter will open
her batteries.
Another correspondent says, on the authority
ot a Senator, that although the President refuses
to receive Commissioners from a single State, he
will not withhold official recognition from an
authorized ambassador from a Confederacy of se
ceding States.
Naval officers for Pensacola station have been
formally detached, and now awaiting orders.
Commodore Shub\ick is not dead. He is re
ported perfectly well.
Washington, Jan. 13.—1 tis confidently believ
ed that the Republicans in the Senate do not in
tend, under reconsideration of Crittenden’s pro
positions, to vote otherwise than before. They
will again reject them.
Their determined policy now is said will be not
to yield their party position.
Secretary Holt was confirmed to-day as Secre
tary of War by a vote of 38 to 13.
Washington, Jan. 20th.—Many urgent letters
have beu sent to Florida, Alabama and Missis
sippi, and other Southern States, by secessionists
here, advising that Fort Pickens, in Pensacola
harbor, be not interfered with at*present, as such
a course would probably cause a collision with the
Federal troops stationed there.
Gen. Havre, the Commissioner from South
Carolina, will remain here for ten days or two
weeks longer. His visit bus been productive of
great good in tht‘ interests of peace. It is not
apprehended that any attack will h e made on Fort
Sumter at present..
The Alabama Congressmen await official in
structions before leaving for home.
The Georgia Congressmen will also remain
here till officially notified of the secession of their
State.

operate with Virginia, in a National Convention.
Messrs. Taylor of Louisiana, Phelps of Missouri,
Rust of Arkausus, Whitelv of Delaware, Winslow
of North Carolina, all join iu the minority report
of the Committee of Thirty-three. The principal
point in the report is the adoption of Crittenden’s
resolutions as amendments to the Constitution.
If this is rejected, dissolution of the Union is in
evitable, and stops are to be taken to c*all a Con
vention of the States with a view to divide the
Federal property and settle the terms of commer
cial and social amity between the two sections,
and a perpetual arrangement respecting the navi
gation of the Mississippi river.
Washington, Jan. 21st.—Numerous applications
continue to be made by postmasters in the seced
ing States for supplies of postage stamps. Be

and will continue to hold themselves responsible

for all the postal revenues received by them. Or

AUGUSTA MARKET.
Weekly Report ... Jan. 22, P. M
COTTON—At the commencement of tfie past week, the !
Cotton market was active, aud prices were well sustained |
The deiraud for the better grades continued brisk, and sales
were effected at remunerative rates. This healthy tone con
tinoed until Saturday, when the market drooped, and a falling i
off of at least *c. was noticeable. This may be accounted for!
by the f.vet that the New Orleans market declined 1 cent, as |
well as the New York market—following the unexpected do- I
ciiue in England. Yesterday (Monday) about 200 bales were |
sold Q xml Middling to Middling Fair selling at 11 cento, with !
a limited demand. Our weekly review closes on a dull market, j
and prices arc ro irregular that it is Impossible for us to give j
quotations. The most remarkable feature of the past six days,
is -the heavy receipts, which exceed those of any former week !
within our recollection in this city—amounting to 12,158 bales, I
against 6,343Jbalea for the corresponding period last year. The !
sales of the week were 6,3 bales.

INVESTMENTS IN TIIE STATE
OF GEORGIA.
•
TUHE subscriber wishes, from his age, to retire from active
I business.
Some two or three years since he, at the great call of this com
munity, bought a large Cotton Factory building, and placed
therein Clark’s Patent Flouraud Coni Mills. These Mills do
not occupy one-fifth part of the ample room. In connnction
with these'Mills already up, it was my purpose to put in some
t wo Wool t ’ards and eight Looms, at a cost of not over 2000 dol
lars. as estimated by Mr. Alfred Jinks, near Philadelphia. By
taking Planters’ Wool in this neighborhood, and buying the
warp, a good and leading article can be maoe of negroes cloth
ing worth .‘to cents, for which the Mill would charge, suy 12*
cents. Added to this, i had intended to get up some Wood
Works for making common Furniture, Fan Mills, Plows. Ac.,
Ac All this would furnish fuel for a first-rate Steam Kiglnc of
j. I*. Morris A Co’s make, of Philadelphia, of 80 horse power.
It is a fine opening for some cuterprisiug man, or men, to make
a fortune.
I will sell the whole property, with three or four acres of land
in the centre of the thriving town of Greensboro, Ga., for about
what the building cost when first erected for a cotton mill,
though I have put 10,000 dollars of Machinery, Engine, Mills,
Ac., in it. It is on the centre of the great Georgia Railroroad,
halfway between Augusta and Atlanta, and so arranged that
the cars of this Road tun right to the door.
Mechanics and Manufacturers are invited to call and scet
premises, as I will sell a bargain In this property.

lW ~ The Oxygenated I)itters.-A Query. Why will
you suffer ? Dyspepsia is a brief but comprehensive term for
the numerous diseases which affect the stomach, liver, aud iu
fact the whole human system. Until Dr. Green discovered the
OXYGENATED BITTERS, mediaal science was at fault
and had exhausted itself in fruitless efforts to cure this disease.
The Dyspectic need suffer no longer with a disease that is al
ways painful, and frequently a fatal affliction.

Messrs. Seth W. Fowle A Co.—Gentlemen : One of my ser

so much prostrated by the disease as to be confined to her bed,
