The transactions in Cotton fur t!ie month of
April were extensive for iir ; narket, the daily
sales averaging over lUOO *alej. Shippers were
the principal purchasers, at pficek ranging from 6c
to 9c; nearly all the sates at tliose tlie latter price,
Were confined to the home t|ade| and that only to
a moderate extent. Manuf.it: lui*its fought more
’freely of late, hut less tlian Ihejususl quantity at
this season. Some purchases ha»e also been made
on simulation. Ihe quantity l>f good ano line
Louisiana and Mobile in mfikct is small; there
were no sales during the rijfontj!, but 11c refused
for small parcels ot Orleans :f.id ; lo'ji!e; Liverpool
good. The month commenced? with a moderate
easiness and a downward uLdeficy of prices, and
I owing partly to continued high freights and an in
v creasing supply, (at one tinulnelr 40,000 bales,) a
decline was established on i|U ifuaiities of £ cent.
Afterwards, with declining Irewhts and a reduced
stock, notwithstanding nnfnvombte advices were
received from Liverpool to '.ii thf March, and again
to the 25th, prices gradually’improved, and were a
shade higher at the close lii.ji a| the beginning of
the month. The sates for tlm|’Dth of April were
as follows: i
6815 bales, Orleans and Tennessee, at 5| a 10c,

PU SPECTCS OF
THE REFORMER.
The undersigned propose to publish in Augusta,
Ga. a weekly paper, to be entitled The Reformer,
of extra imperial size, from the 10th of May to
the 10th of November next, for One Dollar in
advance. As its name indicates, it will be devoted j
exclusively to the cause of Reform, the elevation 1
of WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, of Ohio, for |
President, and JOHN TYI.ER, of Virginia, for
\ ice President, am] the subversion of the present
Administration, —the necessity of reform in which
is becoming every day more and more apparent. —
It will observe a mild, dignified tone, and address
itself to the comrajii sense of every class of citi- j
zens, for whose benefit it is designed.
This Prospectus is issued under the impression |
that the friends of reform will make a united and
zealous effort to give the paper a general circula- i
tioo, in short to send it to the house of every man I
who reads. The People want light, and if our
friends will aid us in our work, we shall be able to
i
counteract the thousand calumnies of the Van
Huron presses, and carry the “war into Africa.”—
In the language of a distinguished co-worker, “All
we ask is to be heard by the people. It is fur
them we speak, and if we can get a hearing, we
have no fears of the result,” even in Georgia. —
“The people will vindicate their wrongs, and hurl
their oppressors from office.”
We ask the press throughout this and the ad- ;
joining States, to insert our Prospectus, and we
especially invoke the friends of the cause to be |
vigilant in procuring subscribers and forward their
names by mail as eariy as possible.
1 iie paper will contain nothing but leading mat
ter, being entirely free from all advertisements,
and is p aced at so low a price as to bring it within
the means of erery man.

U. S. HOTEL,,
Gainesville , Hall ( ounty, Ga.
THE Subscriber,thankful for past favors would
inform his friends and the public generally,
that his luuse has undergone some recen* improve
ments, and his rooms are fitted up in a neat and
comfortable style for the accommodation of board
ers and transient visiters.
The waters of the fine mineral sprint, near the
town, and at a short walk from the Hotel, have
been pronounced by some of our most eminent phy
sicians as of the most superior quality for all
those chronic diseases which require the stimula
ting cifect of mineral water. And the location is
we I cacu’ated in every respect for the comfort and
enjoyment of the valetudinarian and those who
seek recreation in the country. Several fine streams
are in the neighborhood, which will afford ample
amusement to the angler, and the surrounding
hills and dales abounding with game, present un
surpassed attractions to the lover of the chase.
Every exertion will be used and every facility
rendered to make the stay of the visiter pleasant j
and agreeable. Families will be furnished
with well aired and pleasant private apar merits ; 1
and his arrangements generally authorize him to as
sure the public, that none who arc fond of good or
der and quiet will leave his house dissatisfied. In
short.the subscriber would merely state that if a
desire to please and strict attention to those who
favor him with a visit, will entitle him to the pat
ronage of a liberal public, he has nothing to fear.

PEDIGREE.
J. R. H. Acklin, H>q. of Huntsville, Alabama,
certifies as follows : —Tom Tunslall was foaled
mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High
land Mary and her dam a full-blooded Archie marc;
tne sire ofliighland Mary was old PacoleL Tom
Tunstall was sired by old Pacific, and he by old
Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’
I am satisfied Tom Tunstall has descended from as
good a stock as any horse in the United States. —
He was a race horse of the first order, but I lear
will never be able to make a first rate race again, I
owing to his leg; it was injured when a three year
old, in training, as I believe. By addressing Har
dy Cryer. Gallatin, Tennessee,you can get a full
pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstall.” i fie same
Mr. Hardy Cryer certifies thus: —“ Highland Maty
combined as many or more rich crosses of thorougu
breds than any maie ever raised in Tennessee.—
She was got by the noted horse Pacolet, the son of
imported Citizen ; her dam Rosey Carey by Sir
Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported
horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine,
(son of O’Kelle' ’s Eclipse, and cne of the purest
importations of the last century;) great grand-dam
by the imported horse Wrangler; greaf-great-grsnd
dam O’Possum by imported Shark; great-great
great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar- ,
terrace horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great
great-great-grand-dam by imported Feamaught; |
great-grcat-great-great-great-grand dam by Lee’s
old Mark Anthony outof a maie by imported Mou*
key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary (
to trace beyond Sir Archie. It is presumed nunc
will require a purer or better atteffiel pedegree!—

The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselv.
in diseases ut every form and description. The
first operation is to loosen from the coats of t’ .
stomach and bowels, the various impurities a: t
crudities con tantly settling around them ; and t|
remove the hardened faeces which collect in C ‘
convolusions of the smallest intestines. Oth i
medicines only partially cleanse these, and lea I
such collected masses behind as to produce habit :
al eostiveness with 11 its train of evils, or in a su< 5-
den diarrhoea, with its eminent Jangers. This la
is well known to a.i regular anatomists, who e
amine the human bowels after death ; and hen !•

aided to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. Ihe► i.
cond effect of the Lile Medic.nes is to cleanse*! i

entirely depends upon the regularity of the nrina |
