> Likely Negro fellows are selling in New Or
' leans at from six to eight hundred dollars. Ihe
•sine would have brought, two years ago, from
eleven to twelve h indred dollars. Here, t.iere
are hut few selling, hut they are rated pretty near
ly at old prices. The price of cotton generally
controls the price of negroes, and as the former
is vciy low, the latter must soon take the same
fall.

Cotton Market. —The little life which appear

Yarn market, has since become nearly extinct, it
being found impossible to make sales to any ex

question. Although prices cannot be quoted
lower than on Tuesday, still there is less doing,
and a dullness exists for which no one was pre
pared three or four days ago. Both spinners and

than on this day week, on account of the advance

Cottons.—By the packet ship Burgundy,
which vessel made an unusually rapid passage,
we received on Monday last New- York dates to
the Sth instant, the unfavorable tenor of which,
connected with the gloomy accounts from the in
terior, has not only hail the effect of damping the
demand with us, but has also created a strong de
• - °
sire among importers to realize speedily. The
aspect of our market, which last week assumed an
upward tendency, has consequently entirely chan
ged, and the reverse is now the case. Notwith
standing: however that prices have receded fully
vl'on all United States descriptions the purchases
are merely from hand to mouth, and appear to be
made with considerable circumspection. The
clouds which had before hung over the commer
cial horizon, but which only a few days ago
seemed on the eve of being dispelled, have there
fore onee more lowered, and our stock of Cottons,
instead ofdiminisSnng, as was naturally expected
has again accumulated, the arrivals {luring the
present month having amounted to 18,759 hales
igainst 17,759 hales outgoings. As regards our
actual quotations they are 2 -a 3.’below those at the
commencement of the month.

To the Voters of Richmond County.
Fellow-Citizens: —I approach you in the
character of a supplicant. lam a candidate for
the office of Coroner, at the election which lakes
• place this day ; and as such, I do most earnestly
and respectfully solicit you support. The utter
destitution of my situation urges me, in the moat
strenuous manner, to make this appeal to the
people among whom I was born. I speak plain
ly, and I utter the simple truth, iam an unlor
tunate man in many respects —blessed with none
of the good things of this life—hardly in posses
sion of its positive necessaries—struggling with
fate —battling against want—almost crushed to
the earth by the heavy pressure of adversity.
1 What can Ido better than to fly to the good and
generous people ot this city and county, and
claim ut their hands the bestowal of an office,
the emoluments of which, srhall though they
may be, will tend greatly to mitigate the rigours
of ray distressed condition. Knowing so we!!,
that the citizens of this community are ever feel
ingly alive to the the sufferings of the poor, with
the brightest hope of success, I cheerfully submit
my cause to their keeping, vyith the remark, that
indigence has no hand in making up the budget
of this world’s comforts; and that, although pov
erty may be exempt from the cares and perplexi
ties attendant upon wealth, the man has yet to
be born, who sighs to be poor.

I': oin the New Orleans Bulletin- of the 2Sth ult.
The t'herokees.
We notice in the Little Rock Times, statements
respecting the difficulties between the Ross and
Ridge parlies, amang the Cherokees, which put
a very different face on the affair from that gen
erally received. Erronious impressions have, it
seems, gone abroad, much to the prejudice of t ie
Ross pally. They constitute a large majority ot
the nation. They were in favor of uniting the
whole tribe under one head—a measure which
met with general concurrence, and with opposi
tion only from a few of the head men, and old
settlers. In explanation of his conduct and that
of his party, in not giving up the murderers at
the requisition of our government. Ross, the
chief, stated to the editor of the Times, that in
the first place he did not kuuw who the murder
ers were and could not therefore surrender them.
And in the second place, he was of opinion, that
the laws and customs of toe nation, would not
justify him in delivering up to (he United States
the murderers of the Ridges, even if he knew
them. Their lives had been forfeited by the
murder of Double Head, and by betraying the
nation at the emigration treaty.
says, contrary from what has been reported,
that General Arbucklc never has demanded of him
’ the murderers, but merely notified him that he
had received that he had received authority from
Washington, to bring the murderers to justice.
He believes our government misunderstands the
nation, and feds confident that by making a
i proper representation at Washington, a different
course will be pursued, and all feeling cease be
tween the large body of the Cherokees and the
Government. One proof rhat Mr. Ross and the
Cherokees generally, are friendly to the whites,
and have no wish to break that friendship is, tint
. Mr. Ross is taking hisown son to New Jersey, lot
give him an education, as are also several other,'
Cherokees of wealth and influence in t e tribe! ’
The Times remarks with truth and force :
( - Is it polity, is it just, then, that this govern
i ment should interfere with quarrels entirely their
, own. and by supporting the minority, give just
cause of offence to the majority. If the United;
• States will only make ample preparations for
s protecting their own frontier, without interfering
with the domestic concerns of tfie Che - okces, we
have no doubt that peace and harmony will as
long exist on the frontier, as on the Atlantic sea
board/’
ilatvkinsviile Bank.
| The Georgia Journal of the Ist inst. says:—
A rumor has been afloat here for several days,
that the stock of this institution has been sold to
a company Irom Alabama. So long as this insti
tution was under th ■ control of John Rawls, the'
late President, we had the most unlimited confi
’ dence. that under the most untoward circumstan
| ces, the lall-holders would always be secure. If -
it be true, that this purchase has been effected,
we think it advisable that the people should be
cautious how they receive large amounts of them,
until it shall l>e ascertained who are the pureha--
sers. If, however, the Bank, is still under the
control of Mr. Rawls, we shall entertain no fears,
- n the subject—for the man does not live, jri
whose integrity we have a stronger confidence
than in his—a confidence founded upon a long
and intimate acquaintance with him, during
which we have seen him under ci r cumstaices
- which would have exposed his want ot honesty,
if it had existed.

a squail on the 20th inst., on her passage trom
Apalachicola to New Orleans.'. Seven ot tie
crew and three passengers drowned evciy l mg

New Mode of Preventing the spread of
Small Pox.—A petition has been presented to
the British Parliament hy a body ot respectable
physicians, proposing on the strength ot recent
experiments, to change the present system oi
vaccination or revaccinatioa, hy first communi
cating the genuine small pox to the cow, and
thence obtaining a more efficacious vaccine vesi
cles, the lymph of which is found to he secure
protection. The Boston Advertiser thus con
denses the facts of most importance :
This petition states that it has been demon
strated by direct experiment, that the small pox
ami c«v pox are the same diseases. Theexperi- I
ments here referred to, were made-hy Mr. Geely,
of Aylesbury. He- inoculated two cows with
the small pox virus, and it produced in each ckse,
in the animals a disease, from vesicles ol
which a lymph was taken, with which human
subjects were subsequently inoculated, and the
true vaccine disease was produced, affording vac
cine vesicles of a remarkably fine character.
Many hundred persons were vaccinated from this
source, and the efficacy cf the lymph has been
fully treated by infection and inoculation. It
steadily resisted infection as well as repeated re
inoculation and re-vaccinatiou.
From the Baltimore American.
Mr. Grund, in Ids book on America, lately
published in London, speaks of the excessive
awkwardness of the American gentlemen in the
society of ladies, which ho thinks is produced by
the unnatural position which the latter hold when
ever they are brought into contact with the for
mcr. Thus, “in the first place,”says he, "Amer
icun ladies occupy from more courtesy a rank iii
society which is not only opposed to that which
they hold in private lile, and in theirown families,
but which is actually incompatible with the ex
erci e of direct on on tile part of lhe gentlemen.—
‘ I'h.» ladies must be waited upon, the tatties must
be helped.’ ‘the ladies must be put into die car
riage, &c. On every occasion they are treated
as poor helpless creatures, who rather exciie the
pity than the admiration of man; anti as tlie ser
vices they require are numerous just in propor
tion »o the scarcity of hired servants, the gentle
men are obliged to officiate in their stead.”
Our social modes it appears from this,'do not
please Mr. Grund. Astaey were adopted how
ever william any tTiduglit of pleasing him. per
haps it does tint matter much. It is hard to he
pertect; and if we must err in either extreme,
touching our deportment towards women, it is
better to do so in point of tenderness and too
much courtesy than in the way ot indifferent
rudeness. Nevettuiess lhe foreigner talks not
without some justice and good sense. There is
certainly something that needs to be better ad
justed in our social relations, but that the evil
comes from the cause which Mr. Grand has as
signed, we are not prepared to admit.
He goes on, however, to say—
“lt in any ol these matters the men were al
lowed to use theirown discretion in bestowing
attention to those only whom they like, all would
be well enough. The ladies would receive a
great deal of voluntary tribute; and he gen sic
men. delighted with the privilege of a choice,
would bo more prodigal of the pel its soi/is to
those who would have a sui le in return for their
1 devotion. But instead of thh, a fashio able
American is harrassed by an uninterrupted series
of exactions, made for no other purpose than lor
gratifying “tne ladies.” while the rules of society
ire such that he can scarcely ever find a chance
»f making himself agreeable to a particular indi
vidual. Hence an American solan exhibits
nothing hut generalities ol men and women, in
which no-other merit is recognized but that
which,belongs to the sex. In this manner Amer
ican ladies are worshipped; hot the adoration j
consists in a species of polytheism, in which no j
particular good css has a temple nr an altar dedi- j
caled to herself.”

In our review of last Wednesday morning, we j
observed that the cotton mar'-et closed remarkably
firm on the cv ninji tiefoie, at the pi ices then quo
ted. The transactions ot \V etliiesdiiy, however, in
consequence of that day being Christmas, when
business of every kind is usually in agreat measure
suspended were extremeiy light, amounting toon- ;
ly about 800 bales., and at rates exhibiting no
change in the market On Thursday the weather
was very unfavorable to business,as it rained, with
but little intermission throughout the day; but t’e |
sales. 1 otwithstanding, reached to about 2500 bales, i
and in most instances, at very full prices. Yeste - )
day the market was ver animated, the demand
having become more active and upwards of 7OJ j
bales were -o d, at rather better prices than could I
before .be obtained. There is considerable diver- I
sity of opinion among brokers as to prices, but, on j
the whole, we have deemed it advisable to leave
them as they were, remarking, however, that sev
eral sales have been made at rates a shade higher. |
The business has been chiefly confined to the mid
dling and middling fair qualities, toe liner grade;
haying Leon but little inquired for. For a fewr
days past the receipts have been comparatively
light, and the sto< konsa e, owing to the large f
transactions, is less now than foi some weeks pro- T
vious. The sales for the week amount to 275U0 '
bales, and for the last three days to 10500 Louis- ;
. iana and Mississippi, at from 7to cents.

j have reduced the stock on the Levee, though a fair |
