On Friday last a difficulty occurred at a grocery store belonging to a Mr. James It.

A friend of ours of Heard county, fur nishes us with the following particulars of the death of a young man of that county : Fkankun, Ga-, Feb. 6, 1844. Mr. Editor: A most dreadful circum stance happened in this county on the mor ning of the 3d inst. It appears that a young man by the name of Pinckney Hill, had gone some two or three hours before day on a hunting excursion, and noi having returned by the next evening, his friends became alarmed and collected a considera ble force to make a search for him. After a most diligent search, they found his body under the following circumstances: A large poplar tree, some two feet in diameter, had been felled, under which was found one of the legs of the unfortunate young man. It appeared as though ihe tree, in failing, had come in contact with another tree which sloped or bent in an angle from theone that was cut, which caused the one that, was felled to rebound in the opposite direction, and by this means caught the young mau under it. The leg, when found, had the appearance of having had the bones entire ly mashed asunder, and to have had the flesh cut by some sharp instrument. The party continued their search for the body ; and about eighty yards from the place above named, found it. A large knife was found in one of his pockets, upon which was a quantity of hlooJ—leaving no doubt in the minds of those who saw him, hot what he had himself taken the knife from his pock et) nt the skinJtliat-l*cltl-l)i4 leg- together, and had placed the knife hack in each $100 income of.

He then, no doubt, pulled him self bv the hushes and underwood to the place where he was found: although a marsh intervened between the two places, no trace of his passage through it could be found. It is painful to contemplate the sufferings of this unfortunate youth. Alone, some two miles from anv human habitation, to have received so dreadful a wound, yet not to be deprived of reason, (as he evidently must not have been, from the fact of his having used hisknife in the manner above stated,) to have been reduced to the ne cessity of culling off his own leg, and then starting in the direction of home, but soon bleeding to death, the anguish he must have endured, is most heartrending indeed. Mr. Hill was a young man of about 19 years of age, of good moral character, in dustrious and steady habits. He lefi home at the time before stated, in good health and bouyant spirits; but. alas, how soon was he called from hence to another world, and under what painful circumstances did he leave his friends. I hope this may be a caution tolho-e who may engage in similar sports, tc he careful how they fell timber in the dark. “• II niches, gold kept lor use. each * - “ silver, “ “ “ gold safety chains, worn by males over 21 years, eae.h White males, over 21 and nnder 45 years, New Orleans, Feb. 3.

The roads have ; partially recovered from the wretched slate j into which they were thrown by tne late unparalleled rains, and planters can now safely eoine to market, consequently the receipts hsve increased, and our streets present their usual business like appear ance. We quote 8 to 9J cts. A few bales were sold yesterday at 9§. MoEilf,, Feb. 2. At the date of our last weekly report, the market was characterized with only a mod erate degree of activity, but at the same time holders maintain* d considerable firm ness in their pretensions, and the bulk of the opeiaiion3, as previously, for the most patl for our Northern Markets. Since then our market has been kept in an extremely unsettled state throughout ; first by the ar rival of advices per ship Sea—of still later advices per Britannia, to the 4th inst.— These accounts have had the effect of cau sing holders to claim a tarther advance in most instances, and the generality of the European orders yet being limited greatly below present prices, necessarily the enqui ry has been extremely light. The opera tions of the week comprise only 6100 bales, and were effected as follows: Saturday 1000, Monday 1200, Tuesday 700, Wed nesday 2000. Thutsday 600, and to-day 600, and as far as we have been enabled to ascertain, at prices corresponding generally with our quotations of Friday last. The enquiry has generally embraced all quali ties, and as heretofore, has been almost ex clusively for our Northern markets ; the European orders yet being precluded by the advanced prices (on low limits at which they are required to be executed.) Owing to the limited extent of the transaclionsand the extremely unsettled state ol the mar ket we feel constrained to defer giving quotations, but as far as the operations have transpired, we remark that they are mate rially the same as last week.
