~ i \V e are indebted to tlsa cfurtcsy of a gen tleman of tiui city for a cripy fjf the NKjoiMii letter : | j New May 8, 1810. 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.

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 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.

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!— If farther recommendation be wanted, call and see Tom WILLIAM HOLMES, Agent, feb 32—trw&wtf i BBLS * r ° l NTHY FLOUR for sale, I f 1 " ?-oulh Carr lina and Genigia Mills, 1 v m } 11 ts CLARKE, McTKIK Co*.
