Our Country—We intend from time to time to
devote a considerable portion of our columns to the
interests of trade, com mere*, manufactures and agri
culture. lu so doing, we shall he able to spread be
fore our readers a large amount of valuable informa
tion—to introduce them to an abundant field of enter
prise —where industry may foci assured of an ample
Toward, and where th? harvest is always provided
for the hands of the reaper.
Before weproce.'d in our cheering task, however it
wilt not be amiss to revert back to the days immediat
ely subsequent to our glorious revolution, in order
that by briefly contrasting the state of the country at
that tint**, with our national resources in the pretent
day, to present a proud, a triumphant proof of the
power of free and Republican Institutions, to foster,
encourage and mature the science, the wealth, the
knowledge and the civilization of mankind. Thus,
W'e find that in 1790, our population was under four
millions. It is now at least Seventeen Millions 1 In
1790, our exports to ull the world amounted to only
*30,205,156, whereas in 1837, notwithstanding the
panic, suspension of specie payments and fall in the
price of cotton fro nan average of 19 cents to 11
we exported products and manufactures, to the value
of *117,419,376! No less than 10 659 vessels are en
gaged in our foreign trad, which doubtless employ
100,000 men and boys. But it is needless to pursue
the subject. Even the most sceptical and superficial
will at a glance pere nve, that in little more than fifty
years, this country had advanced in the arts, sciences,
power and influence in a ratio equal to the growth of
many centuries, as developed by any other people,
either in ancient or modern times. The philosopher
and historian, in contrasting the two periods to which
wc have alluded, will bail the onward and upward
progress of our country, as a happy event in the an
nals of the world, a maguificient proof of the expansi
ve and productive character of rational freedom, and
a noble monument of the capacity of enlightened man
for the important trust of s lf-governmcnt.
Narrow must be the mind, cold the heart, and la
mentably deficient the reasoning power, of those men ;
who do not look forward with a joyful certainly of
their country’s future greatness.—As yet we are only
in the juvenesccnce of our growth, in the morning of
our existence as a nation. Our powers arc only in
part developed. The elements of our strength are
but discovered. The creative hand of American :
genius had but begun to mould and fashion them into j
form and order. The enterprize of our people, al- !
though it hath advanced with the stride and force of
a giant, is yet unknown in its ext nt, oven to thrni
tHves. The earth U but now unfolding h' i r bidden
secrets arwl treasures; our mines discovered l*y wh
ence and explored by industry, promts*’ to yield so
large a supply of coal and metals, that the demand of
of oil the nations of the earth for ages yet to come,
would not exhaust them. The first cotton plant was
put in the ground in 17>S7 it now yield >$109,000,000;
with imm uise regions of cotton land yet in a virgin
state. Our iron manufactures can scarcely be said
to have more than commenced, although Pittsburg i
contain4*9o,ooo souls.
We have yet our rail-road iron, most of our cutlery, j
and a thousand other things to make at home, which
we now import from abroad. Our cotton manufac
tories exhibit ttgr*at yearly increase; and the culti
vation of morns mtillicaiUis , wijili the raising of silk,
promises a resource which will erjobi j us to rival In
dia, China, France and Italy, ax Tportersof Ac raw
material. The patriot, then, and lover of the country,
has every reason to rejoice in the bright and glorious
prospects of her unfolding riches, her influence and
her greatness yet to come; and if he feel n throb of
regret, it is only that the shortness of the life of man
will not allow him to behold the high position of this
Republic among the nations of the earth, in the days
that are in the womb of time. To secure these bles
sings, we have only to cherish that principle and
practice of rational liberty, which infers a perfect
political equality, the supremacy of the laws of our
own choice, good order and good government. Let
us endeavor also, to promote national and general
education. ‘ Knowledge is power.” By knowledge,
therefore, men are rendered capable ofinstituling, and
worthy of maintaining an enduring system of self
control, both nationally and individually; while the
intellectual effulgence of education will diffuse the
lights of reason, philosophy, literature and science
amongst our fellow citizens and their families, and
improve the morality, virtue and religion of future
generations, through all time to coins.
The Foreign News.—The news from Eu
rope which we give in another column, is. in
a commercial point of view, of the most irnpor- i
tant character that wc have received from
England since the spring of 1837. The fall of
Cotton, equal to $7,50 to $lO per hale—the in
creased restrictions of the Bank of England,
will produce failures unpreceiented through
out the land, unless? there are elements in this
country capable of organization, strong enough
to ward off the blow.
To meet the hostile measures of the Bank
iff England, what is to be done? Is there any
clement in this country that can be wielded so
as to prevent the blow from crushing our com
mercial interest? Is there any mode oforgani
zing an American element capable of with
standing the English element ? Are there
any financiers and capitalists capable ofdevi
sing and daring such a movement ?
Wc believe there are —we believe there ex
ists in our great staple Colton —the real specie
of America, —a power capable of warding off
or mitigating this crisis.
Since the above has been in type we have later ac
counts from Europe. The British CXceen arrived
at New York on Sunday the 28th ult. By her ac
counts of a fourth decline in Cotton have been re
ceived.
For some time past the “Courier and Enquirer,”
that Bankrupt agent of every nefarious project, has
bean recomnjendiag an export of specie, for the pur
pose of setting the Bank of England on her legs; and
the leading capitalists and brokers of New York, have
Ween draining the banks of their specie, at first cov
ertly and clandestinely, now openly and impudently.
Already about SI ,500,000 in specie have been secret
ly exported to England, and preparations andarrange
meats are made to send by the Great Wes'-em, about
$1,000,000, and probably by the British Quern totin’
I extern of *1,000,000 more. How much is centum
i plated by those who have the {tower of draining the
hanks, we know not; but we should not be surprised
to see them only stop at *5,000,000 before all their
views are completed.
This state of things certainly demands reform, and
the sooner the better. The people have been too long
and too successfully huinbuged.
Tub Crisis—Anotukr Suspension or Specie Pay
ments.—From the developments made during the
lus*t three or four w ks, we have every reason to be
lieve that another suspension of specie payments, par
tially if not generally, will he forced upon the banks
by the speculators, brokers and every oilier species
of rogue who move at Urge around the country, not
yet w itliiu the precincts of the state prison and peni
tentiary.
lu this state of things, we cal! upon the honest,
economical, ready-money men, of moderate means
ami sound principles, to unite against the villainy and
•peculation of the present day—to combine their in
terests, opinions, ami feelings—to join the honest and
well conducted hanks that will continue to pay their
hills in specie—to aid every movement that will low
er prices and diminish roguery—and to preserve
those seeds of virtue and morality that will keep the
country from bring plunged into a second disgraceful
suspend on.—(New York Paper.
The Cotton Crop in Mclntosh County. —
; Nothing can be more gratifying to our Citizens
! generally than to learn that the crops of the
i present year arc abundant in all sections of the
country. The cotton crops in this county
I looks very promising, mid vve are told has not
been better for many years. A few days ago
we were presented with some grown on the
plantation of our friend Mr. John lluthion, of
a beautiful texture. Ilis crop is quite abund
ant, and so far advanced, that he intends to
commence gathering it the present week. The
Planters always have our best wishes for their
prosperity—for when they have abundance,
no body compiling of hard times.

Old Song.
Our town has been all life for the past week.
Dull times have been forgotten, or absorbed
with the enchanting notes wafted upon every
breeze, by a band of musicians who have so
journed here for the past week. Night after
night have we been roused from the arms of old
Morph us, by serenading parties, who not con-1
tent with their labours in town, have visited
the Ridge. A music master, at this time, could
find ample encouragement, and we ask our
brethern of the press to pass this notice round.
We want something to drive away dull care.
The Ciierokees. —The Natches Free Tra
der of the 2d inst. states that Eliza Boudinot
has been murdered, as well as John Ridge and
Major Ridge. It says there were tlircc par
ties among the Cherokees, and that their dif
ferences related |><m to ....
sion and removal, and partly to questions of
internal government. One of the three par
lies killed the above mentioned chiefs and head
men. Ross was at the head of about 1000
in<*n lie was offered admittance into the fort by
Gen. Arbuckle, but declined unless his whole
party was included, which was refused.
Boudinot, as well as John Ridge, was educa
ted at the Mission School at Cornwall, Conn,
lie was named after the late Governor Boudi
not, of New Jersey, arid inherited a large por
tion of his benevolence and pitffy. It is melan
cholly to think that so bright an ornament of
the church and of society, has fallen a victim
to assassination. Like the two Ridges, Boudi
not was in favor of the Treaty of removal,
but not till he found it wri# impossible for his
nation to remain in Georgia.
A Severe Loss*—Stout’s beautiful statue of
England’s beautiful (juceti is no more. Yes
terday morning it was conveyed to the sehr.
Bcnj. Iliglow, F. Wells, master, bound for
Boston, to be taken to Boston for exhibition,
and w hile the hands were in the act of hoisting
her Highness on board with a takle, the ma
chine gave way, and h'-r inanimate Majesty
tumbled to the bottom of the hold, and broke
into a dozen pieces. Her royal countinance,
bust, limbs, etc., were battered and scattered
in fragments, a total wreck.—The statue was
valued at $3,)09, and will prove a serious loss
to Mr. Stout, should the law not award him i
compensation at the hands of the master or I
owners of the schooner, through the negli
gence of whose agents the disaster happened.
The Rev. W.\i. V. Thicker, Minister of the
Unitarian Church, at Savannah, died lately on board j
the b, :; Savannah, on his way to New York.
The Army and Navy Chronicle says: “The
Court of Inquiry in the case of Com. Elliott,
lias adjourned ; but from the mass of testimo
ny to be examined by the revising power, it
will be some time before the opinion is made
known if indeed it be made known at all, with
out a call from Congress, or its being such as
to require a court martial.”
The same paper has the following: “By ref
erence to our Navy head, it will be seen that
Leut. Edwin W. Moore lias resigned his com
mission in the U. S. Navy, consequently there
can be no longer any doubt of his having ac
cepted the command of the Texian Navy.”
Bread Stuffs. —The Pittsburg Gazette of
Monday afternoon states that flour wasselling
there on that day at $3 1-2 per bbl. In some
parts of Ohio, it is added, wheat had fallen
within three or four weeks past from $1 1-2
down to 75 cents per bushel. Al Louisville,
it will tg seen wheat was selling at 75 cts: but
it was expected to fall to 62 1-2 cts. The cer
tantv of abundant crops has occasioned this
great decline in ps iccs.
In the Baltimore market, new wheat con
tinues to come in very sparingly. . The sup
plies do not yet equal the demand, and com
mon to best reds command $1 20 to 1 30 per
bushel. The stock of Flour of all descriptions
in market, is considerably under 10.09) bar
rels. City Mills held at $6 50; Howard st.,
$5 87 1-4.

REDUCTION.
It will be generally conceded that from the re
pented attempts to mhicetho General Assembly, that
reduction is a paramount object with the great mass
of the people. They feel the sensible increase of the
expense without the corresponding benefit of legisla
tion; —and unless some plan con be devised to check
the growing evil, that the system will overthrow the
government. It is not the expense alone of which
the people complain—onerous as that is in the body
politic, it might he endured—hut every daysexjieri
ence proves, that large bodies are not the best adapt
ed for the despatch of busin ‘ss, or proof ugainst the
arts of corruption. On the contrary, the intrigue
which numbers engender retards the one, and pro
motes the other—and this in the nature of things. In
proportion as responsibility is diffused in the same
proportion is its morul influence on the netionsof men
lessened—and hence wc find in the proceedings of ull
large bodies so little unity of action. Each indivi
dual legislates for himself and to promote sonic fa
vorite object of his immediate constituents, combine
with others equally intent in forwarding their local
interests, and these combinations lend to whnt is
called the log rolling system, so degrading and so
injurious to the public welfare.
The best remedy to this defective and corrupting
Legislation is reduction. By reducing the number
you increase responsibility, and multiply th** chances
of improvement. What would be considered degra
ding in an individual, to do, would hardly be consid
ered less so in a small public body, and the sense of
shame, so powerful in restraining vice, it is hoped
would have, its influence in preventing corruption.
If comparisons were not invidious, we could illus
trate the position by instituting a parallel between the
old, and the present Congress of the United States,
showing the immense difference of public virtue in the
former over the. latter, and tracing step by step the
degeneracy to its true cause—to wit, the profligacy
of numbers.

Important from Canida.— The editor
of the “ Montreal Herald” is a singular arid
erratic genius, for he changes his opinion
very often. When Mr. Patriot McKenzie
was convicted, he gave a certain reason
for it; but now he thinks differently, and
says that Sir John Colborne has received
orders from his government “to pursue, in
case of future invasions of the Canadas
from the Republic, and punish the outlaws
whereever he can catch them;” which so
frightened and intimidated the American
authorities, that they immediately senten
ced McKenzie and Case to the State Prison.
Tlie “Herald” man knows of several in
stances where the patriots have been chas
ed into the States and captured, the Ameri
can authorities not attempting to interfere
in the slightest degree.
if the above information be correct, there
w ill be a good deal of trouble on the fron
tier—that is, if Sir John followes out his
instructions to the letter. For if any pat
riots are pursued over the lines, the pur
suers will go back much faster than they
came.

Arrival of tile liritlsli ttueeii—

Further tier line in Cotton.
The IlriiiMh tml American Steam Ntniga
tlon Company*, new .(earner, the British
Queen, arrived itt New York on Sunday the
(Will of July, in If) days and a half from Ports
mouth, whence she sailed on the 12th, bringing
London dates of the evening of the 11 lit.
Wc are sorry to say that Cotton has again
fallen fully one half penny since the sailing of
the Ureal Western, and that the state of the
money market in England was quite ns had as
per last accounts. Our dates aru up to the e
vening of the 12th day, on which it was uni
versally expected that the Hank of England
would raise the interest to six per cent. The
notice however, did not take place, though it
was intimated from the Hank Parlour that the
interest would probably he advanced on the
following Thursday, the 18th.
The Spinners at Manchester, have renewed
their agreement to “work short,” notice of
w hich was published in London on the 11th.
and it was supposed that a further decline in
Cotton would probably follow.
la the Cotton market affairs have become
even considerably worse—for the fall at Liver
pool Ims been no less than J per lb. during the
shorttime which hits elapsed since the (beat
Western sailed. A letter from the most emi
nent firm in the trade, states that “the largest
spinners buy only from forty to fifty bales per
day—merely to keep open the mills—mid any
person desirous of speculating, might almost
make his ow n prices.” .Speculative opinions
are therefore useless at the present time.
Th • disturbances at Dirininghum continue,
but the Chartists have not attempted to make
head against the regular troops—nor have any
lives been lost in the various frays with the
police. Mr. Lovett, the Secretary and Dr.
Taylor and Mr. Harvey, two of the most rev
olutionary members of the convention, have
been arrested and are now in Warwick jail.
There is no doubt that as now organized, the
Chartist movements may lie very easily stir
pressed ; but should Mr. Atwood, as some
parties appear to anticipate, attach himself to
that party, the tide of population which w ould
follow such a leader would probably trample
under foot both the police and the troops.
There is, however, no real reason for suppo
sing that Mr. Atwood would hastily take the
final step in Hie revolutionary cause ; though
onfiu driven into opposition to the government,
this mail has the power, unquestionably, to be
the author of the mightiest events.

Texas. —Mr. O’Connell wished to put a
question, of which he had given notice, rela
tive to certain persons who had seized a por
tion of the J/exicun Territory, calling them
selves the state of Texas. Were any negotia
tions pending between this Government and
those persons for the purpose of recognizing
the independence of that state?
Lord Palmerston stated that an application
had been made to the Government in the ear
ly part of lust year, by persons from Texas,
for the purpose of knowing whether the Gov
ernment were preparing to ucknolcdge the in
dependence. of Texas. The answer given to
that application was, that the general principle
oi the Government was to acknowledge every
stale that was dc facto independent, but under
the circumstances at present existing with res

France and mexico, instructions had been sent
out to endeavour to effect a similar urrangu

Lord Palmerston said, the communications
were of a general nature, and did not include
any detail of that kind.

Murder of Moore. —-We have before us (lie
Red River Whig, detailing the circumstances
attended this most atrocious murder. It ap
pears that Moore never refused to fight Hol
stein. Seventeen days after Moore had refu
sed to fight Zim, and offered to meet li is second,
Holstein, the murder Cook place. It is sta
ted in the Whig that Holstein was urged to exe
cute the blody deed by persons high in authori
ty and soeie'y. If so, there can be no mea
sure of punishment too great for such men.
But to the death of poor Moore.
On the morning of the 2d of July, Moore
was returning from the country to town as
was his custom, when he stopped in front of
the ferry house on the river bank, opposite
Alexandria. While there, Holstein, who had
been concealed in the house since early in the
morning, rushed out and called upon Moore to
beg for his life or he would kill him. Moore
drew himself up ul foil length, folded bis aims
across his breast, and told Holstein that he
would not beg for his life, but that Holstein
might shoot him, as he bad him (Moore) in his
power. Thereupon he snapped the double
barrelled gun at Moore. Someone interceding,
Holstein threw down the gtm and drew a du
eling pistol that had been loaned him for the
occasion, and again bade Moore to beg for his
life. Mr. Moore, maintaining his position, said
“I will not beg for my life. I have never re
fused to give you the satisfaction that honor
requires ; —but I am in your power—shoot!”
The murderer shot, and Moore fell ; the ball
piercing the abdomen, and ascended tlicspine.
Holstein forewith mounted the horse that was
ready for him and fled. Moore died the same
evening in the most excruciating pain, but
having his senses to the last. When tole that
he could not live, he said—l do not fear death,
boys? I have lived a Whig, and I die a W hig!”
At the heal of his journal stood the epi
graph—“ Liberty of ihe Press is the air we
breathe without it we die.” Couid poor Moore
have chosen a motto that had better prefigured
bis own fate? The parish of Rapides is in a
great state of excitement at this outrageous
act. No man’s life will be safe unless the mur
derer be arrested.—N. O. Am.
