COLTJMBXJB: ItKftGRIT CITY CiaCUIiWIOI. Friday Morning, Feb. U, 185 8. Sec reading matter on Flrct Page. Another New Territory. It is proponed to make an effort for a i Territorial organization of the upper pen insular of Michigan, under the name of . Superior or Mackinaw. The country embraces some sixteen thousand square miles, abounds in mineral resources, and has an estimated population of ten thou- ! sand. At present it is a part of the State of Michigan, from the main portion of i which, however, it is separated by the | straits of Mackinaw, and with which it j has no common interests. This will all be right, of course, as the | Territory will be devoted to tree soil, and will ere long be knocking for admission into the Union as a free State, thus in creasing the strength of abolitionism in the United Stales Congress. A Chance for a Fight. It will be recollected by our readers that some time since there was a great war of words between Generals Scott and Pillow, in which there was a great waste of paper pellets, which resulted in noth ing serious or otherwise. Iu the course of the fight, Gen. Pillow appears to have thrown a brick which upset tho running hero of many hud fought battles, to wit: Don Antonio Lopez deSanta Anna, where upon the redoubtable gentleman with the wooden !eg gives tho “lick back.” deny ing (ho charges of bribery alleged against him by (ion. Pillow, and intimating very clearly that the General would have to smell gun powder yet before tho matter was brought to a close. His manifesto, as published, savors ol’ his characteristic pomposity and vain gloriousness. We apprehend if Gen. Pillow never dies until he is killed liy Santa Anna, iu a duel, he will have perfect immunity from death for all time to come. Condition of <l>r Planter*. We copy to-day a letter from a corre spondent of the Savannah Republican, signed “Upson,” and hence we conclude lie writes from Upson c.iinty, in which, I'loin our conversation with planters from different parts of tho State, and with our merchants, we believe ue gives a true picture of the position of affairs. That the majority of the pluntcrs are abun dantly able to pay all of their indebted ness we do not doubt, but that they have not done so we are equally well convinced. The low price at. which cotton has been sidling for some time past has induced many of them to hold on to it, in hopes the market would react, and they would he able to get something near the price that their distorted imaginations fixed upon it at the commencement of the sea son. Those hopes not being yet realized, they ure therefore in debt, and as most of ihe money which keeps the machinery of business in motion comes from them, when they are remiss iu the payment of their debts it necessarily involves a groat stagnation in business and embarrass ment to the country generally. When cotton is down below what they think it ought to soil for, whether it commands a remunerating price or not, they pertc naciously refuse to sell until it rises, not caring whether those whose goods and substauco they have used aro suffering for the need of the money they owe them not. Asa general rule a man has a irfect right to refuse to sell any piece of property lie holds, no matter what may lie the price offered for it, but we hold it to he contrary to tho principles of justice and equity for any man to withheld from ale his produce or merchandize when he an get a fair price for it, thereby causing injury and embarrassment to those who have credited him on the faith of his pay tig the debt when he could realize upon 1 m labor. If the planters would sell their cotton, wo believe they would soon get out of debt, not withstanding, as “Upson” says, they are more in debt than is gen erally believed. Wc entirely agree with “Upson,” lhat the policy pursued by planters in raising cotton (o buy pork at eight cents and mules at $175, has contributed greatly to the embarrassment of tho planters, and so long as they continue such a foolish course they will be embarrassed. A man that raises his own produce is rarely ever anoyed by the visits of sheriffs, and Hard Times always “passed by on the oilier side” from him, while he who depends on bis cotton crop to buy his supplies is al most, always omba rassed by pressing debts. -■ *— A not lt<r •• Letter” Supposed lo lie from Gov. H. A. Wise. The Norfolk Herald publishes the fol lowing letter which goes the “whole hog” more than anything yet seen from Onau cock: “ Mr. James Meat's, of Accouiao coun ty, Virginia, tin lighten'd two hogs of his owu raising on the 27th inst., whose ag gregate weight amounted to 15291 lbs., ihe larger weighing 900}, aud the lesser 029 lbs. These hogs were 25 months and 12 days old. We believe that 900 lbs. at 25 mouths is the biggest pig yet raised. The growth of the larger by calculation wus at the rate of 1 lb. and .1 oz. a day from birth to death. “ May we not brag a little ou old Aeo mac and Jimmy Meats? There is really no accounting for tho productive power of our dear old county —always distin guished for raising great men, pretty girls, tine oysters and big potatoes. She lias now added a full cubit to her stature by having raised the biggest hog in America. “On an cock, January 28, 1858.” An Enterprise r>f Sonic Magnitude. A French savan thinks he has invented an apparatus that will enable human be- ! ings to breathe as freely at the bottom of the sea as on the earth’s surface, ud this | grand object attained, he proposes to form an association for collecting all the treng- | ure, in the deep bosotn of ‘he ocean buri- j ■'d, in the track of the BlUt India com merce. The value of those treasures be estimates at four billion and liars, which of : course, divided up into shares, will make j a very respectable “fancy.” Valentina's Day- There arc customs which h-ave been in vogue “from the time whereof the mem ory of man runneth not to the contrary,’ which would perhaps be “more honored in tho breaclMhan iu the observance.” Among these is the celebration of St. Valentines Day, as practiced by the young folks now-a-days, and even those of innturo age. When the custom was originated, we have no doubt it afforded an agreeable pastime, and was, perhaps, useful to bashful swains and modest maidens, in bringing together two hearts to beat in unison through the journey of life, which, perhaps, would never have been accomplished by any other means. I: has, however, been perverted to the basest and most heartless purposes, and has become one of the nuisances which wc would be pleased to see entirely abro gated by the refined and intelligent por tion of our people, leaving it to the low and vulgar to perpetuate. This custom is seized upon by the cowardly and vin dictive to wound the feelings aud insult tho pride of those to whom they may have formed a dislike, by sending them verses or charicatures, which would sub ject llio sender to a caning or nosc-blecd ing were he to present them in person, or under his own sign manual; hut by this custom he has a perfect immunity from punishment, as from the universality of the custom it is impossible to fix the authorship upon any particular person. Hut these kind of verses and charica tures are not always sent by the mali cious and designing, but are frequently seut merely in a spirit of fun and frolic, which, if the receiver knew the intention of the sender, or even the sender himself, would all be very well, and would, per hnps, afford some amusement even to the receiver. Hut, unfortunately, this is not the case. Tho sender always takes great precaution to disguise his hand so that it cannot he recognized even by those well acquainted witli it, and the sensitive mind will always take it l'or granted that the design was to insult him, and hence receives perhaps a deep and lasting wound from what was intended as an in nocent joke. To the pure and kind heart ed, it will only he necessary to intimate that they may wound some sensitive soul, to ensure their abandonment of the prac tice of sodding the character of Valen tines mentioned above, as no yentlcman or lady will wantonly insult any one merely for the purpose of a little fun which they must enjoy, if enjoyed at all, entirely to themselves. If they will send Valentines let. them send those that will afford pleas ure anil not pain. To none but the most malignant heart can there be pleasure in inflicting pain upon the meanest creature that walks the earth, much less upon those whom tie respects and esteems. The Augusta Constitutionalist proposes a plan whereby the taste for sending Val entines may bo gratified to the heart’s content, not only without detriment to the feelings of anybody, but with great profit to a large class of deserving people. The Constitutionalist says :—“There is a class of Valentines neither ugly nor disa greeable, which can bo found at the baker's, at the family grocer’s, and the butcher’s. Persons who desire to exhibit their wit and good sense can obtain sam ples of these commodities at those places, which they can name Valentines, if they please, and there arc quito a number of worthy aud needy families that would be pleased to receive sucii complimentary attentions. Two or three loaves of bread and a pound of cheese will bo gratefully acknowledged ; while a pug-nose, blear eyed, bandy legged caricature, will cost quite ns much.” There would bo some sense in sending sucii Valentines as these, and if those who have a strong penchant for observing tho custom will send theso kind of Valen tines, in lieu of the disgusting and simple ones usually sent, and do not receive more solid pleasure from them than they havo ever experienced from the old ones, we will conclude their hearts arc not in the right place, and if they will come to us, we will refund them the money to go and buy tho old sort next time. The Father of Waters. The vastuess of the great Mississippi river is thus given by u newspaper cor respondent, who writes from Maiden Rock, Wis.: “While I look out upon the river, three miles wide at this point, my mind seems to take in at one grasp the magnitude of tho stjearn. From the frozen regions of the North to the sunny South, it extends some three thousand one hundred miles, and with the Missouri, is four thousand five hundred miles iu length; it would reach from New York across the Atlantic, and extend from France to Turkey, and to the Caspian Sea. Its average depth from its source, in Lake Itasca, in Min nesota, to its delta, in the Gulf of Mexi co, is fifty feet, and its width half a mile. The trapper, on the Upper Mississippi can take the furs of the animals that in habit its sources aud exchange them for the tropical fruits that are gathered ou the ba :ks below. Slaves toil at one end of this great thoroughfare, while the free red men of the forest roam at tho other end. The floods are more than a month iu traveling from its source to its delta. The total value of steamers afloat on this river and its tributaries is more than six million dollars, and number as many as one thousand five hundred—more than twice the eutire steamboat touuage of England, and equal to that of all other parts of the world. It drains an area of | one million two hundred thousand square miles, which is justly styled the garden of the worlJ. U receives a score of trib j utaries, the least of which are longer than ! the vaunted streams of mighty empires. It might furnish natural boundaries for all Europe, and yet leave for every coun try a river larger than the Seine. It en gulfs more every year than the revenue of many petty kingdoms, and rolls a vol ume in whose depths the cathedral of St. l’aul could be sunk out of sight. It dis charges, in one year, more water than has issued from the Tiber in five centu ries ; it swallows up fifty rivers, which have no name, each of which arc longer than the Thames. The addition of the waters of the Danube would not swell it half a fathom; in one single reservoir, (l'epin) two thousand five hundred miles from the sen, the navies might safely ride at anchor. It washes the shoreß of twelve powerful States, and between its arms lies space for twenty more.” Liverpool Cotton Market. Our Liverpool Cotton Circulars, brought by the Arabia, to date of 22d ult., are at hand, from which we make the following extracts in rotation to tho state of the Cotton trade at the time the Arabia sail ed. 5 Urown, Shipley & Co.’s Circular says: The moderate shipments making in the United States, at the last dates, together with the easy state of money, and the im proving demand for goods and yarns in Manchester, have caused an advance in Cotton of fully Jd. per lb. since the de parture of the last steamer. The sales for the week ending last evening, reach (17,000 bales, Speculators taking 15,000 and Exporters 4,000 bales. To-day the market is less animated, though the busi ness amounts to 9,000 bales. Total Stock in this port 358,000 bales. Total Stock same time last year, 327,- 000 bales. Trade in the manufacturing districts is 1 quiet, but shows some signs of improve ment, though we can scarcely look for [ more than a gradual change for the bet ter. Wright, Junior & Co.’s Circular says : Our Cotton market closed quietly on 15th instant, the date of our circular ad vices per Canada. The following day more demand was experienced, in antici pation of the Persia’s accounts, which were to hand after business hours. The general tone of her advices stimulated greater activity on Monday : but holders having withdrawn many samples, the curtailed selection checked the amount of sales, which were generally on the basis of Jd advance, and which was supported on Tuesday with firmness, and influenced a better Trade in Manchester, and in its turn caused an animated inquiry on Wed nesday, when 15,000 bales changed hands at a further advance of of Jd per tb on the current iiualities of American descrip tions, ranging from low to good middling, aud which had previously been most free ly offered. Y'esterday the inquiry was extensive, and the sales of 12,000 bales would have been enlarged, if holders had been willing to realize. The large aud still augmenting amount of bullion in the Hank vaults, aud the greater ease at which good bills can be discounted out side, inspires the hope of another early reduction in the rate of interest, and, what is even more desirable, increased facilities in accommodation. Confidence also gains strength by the continued fall ing off in the receipts at, and compara tively light shipments from the American seaports, the opinion prevailing that, it will be difficult to make up the deficiency even to the last season’s figures, aud that the extent of crop will not develop itself, owing to the reduced value and conse quent lessened inducements for planters to forward it to market. It is generally admitted, however, that our consumption is not likely to exceed a weekly average of 35,000 bales of all kinds for the year ’6B, and having lost one month, and America two months, during the late panic, the same amount of supply will not be required. It seems probable that our stock will be sensibly diminished be fore any excessive import can reach us, and this feature imparts general firmness to prices. i The demand to-day is scarcely so brisk, and the estimated sales do not exceed 10,000 bales, 4,000 to Speculators and Exporters; the Arago’s advices, howev er, confirm the views of holders, who offer their stocks sparingly, and prices have an upward tendency. The total Sales of the week amount to 07,380 bales, of which 45,430 are Amer ican. Speculators have taken 15,350, and Exporters 4,100 leaving 47,870 bales of all kinds to the Trade. George Holt & Co.’s Circular says : There has been a complete turn round in the aspect of our market during the course of the week now under review.— This sudden change springs out of the greater demand experienced in Manches ter, both for Yarns and Goods, though principally for the former; and this, com ing upon Spinners without stocks of the raw material, has brought on active and general enquiry into our market for nearly ull descriptions of Cotton. The position of the Money market, and tho facilities afforded for obtaining dis counts, are now so moderate, that many parties, looking forward to the prospect of supply, have been tempted to make considerable investments on speculation : such operations have principally taken place in the “fair” and “good fair” quali ties of Upland Cotton, which have been freely offering for sale at relatively low prices. In these the advance is the most marked, amounting to Jd. per lb. upon the bulk of the business transacted last Friday ; other descriptions of American Cotton are hardly affected to the same amount, say jd. per lb. Surats (of the white sorts) arc advanced to nearly the same extent. Brazils in fair enquiry at full prices, but not quotably dearer.— Egyptians neglected, aud in limited re quest at previous rates. Each succeeding steamer from America brings advices rather less favorable, as regards the quantity and quality of Cot ton to be expected this year; the esti mates from nearly all sections of the Cot ton growing country, are being gradually reduced, few now exceeding three mil lions of bales. Richardson, Spcncc & Co.’s Circular says: There has been au increased demand this week from the Trade as well as Spec ulators, and the evident tendency to a lower rate of interest haviug given confi dence to holders, the market has only been sparingly supplied, at gradually ad vancing rates, and we find it necessary to raise our last quotations Jd. per lb.— In Manchester there has been an improv ed demand this week, but producers sny it is very difficult to obtaiu any advance even on recent low rates. The Steamship Niagara. The Washington Star publishes the fol ; lowing list of the officers detailed for the U.

General News.— The grand affair of the week, the marriage of the Princess Royal of Great Britain and Ireland, Vic toria Adelade Mary Louisa, with his Royal Highness Prince Frederick William Nicholas Charles, of Prussia, took place at the Chapel Royal of St. James, Mon day, the 25th of January, at half-past 12 o’clock. The marriage ceremony was performed by the Archbishop of Canter bury, in the presence of the Royal fami ly, the high diguitaries of church and State, and the King of the Belgians, the Prince of Prussia, bis Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Baden, Ambassadors, Foreign Ministers, Cabinet Ministers, aud other dislinyut persons appeared in full-dress uniform ; and all the ceremo nies of the occasion were of the most im posing char icter. Some little additional nows from India has been published in the English papers, announcing that the insurgents were threatening to attack Alumbagb. Very little, however, is known beyond the in telligence brought by the Bombay mail of the 29th December. The Leviathan iron steam vessel is not yet completely launched, but she was moved on her ways eighteen feet in two days, aud no doubt can now be entertain ed of her successful launch. The ex pense of launching her, according to the London Observer, will lie about £25,000. A serious riot occurred at Belfast, Ire land, on Monday evening, the 25th Jan uary (the day of the marriage of the Princess Royal.) Tlie riot act was read, and numerous arrests were made. The American ship Adriatic, which had been confiscated by the French Court of Appeals, on account of her collision with the steamer Lyonnais, and which made her escape from the harbor of Marseilles ou the Bth of January, has been arrested on the high seas, by a French-man-of war. The details of the capture arc un important. Commercial News, Liverpool Cotton Market, Jan. 27.—The sales of Cotton for three days reached 29,000 bales, of which speculators took 4,000 and exporters 2,000 bales. The market advanced Jd., and closed buoyant, with an advancing tendency. Manchester Trade. —Business in the man ufacturing districts is favorable.

Creditor* of Lawrence, Stone Cos. At a meeting at the court of insolven cy in Boston, on the 3d inst., of the cred itors of Lawrence, Stone & Cos., Charles ll. ( Head and John Lowell were chosen assignees. The Post says ; The amount of liabilities proved wus about $4,000,000, including acceptances for the Bay State Mills, Pemberton Mills, Middlesex Mills, and New England Worsted Con®any. Among several large claims proved by creditors were the claim of a Boston gentleman for the sum of $330,000, one large private banking house for $128,000, and several of the Boston banks, vr-yiug from $50,000 to $87,000. Among the debts proved were several held by swings banks in the vi cinity of Boston. It must be understood that the parties proving debts against this firm have other names upon their notes, upon which they will, in most ca ses, realize the face of the debts, as it is presumed that the mills of which Messrs. Lawrence, Stone & Cos. were agents, and for which most of their indebtedness was contracted, will be able to pay in full, or at worst, nearly one hundred cents on the dollar. The whole indebtedness of Lawrence, Stone & Cos., on their own ac count, and for account of the different mills, is between three and four million of dollars.
