far. Cotton Crop. —The Nashville Whig of
,j, e sih inst. says:—The growing crops of Cotton
iiJ Tobacco, we are told look well, though some
3 prehension is felt that Cotton will mature, un
usually late, owing to the heavy rains this sum
mer. If so, the crop may suffer severely from
frost.
We learn that the Cotton crop of Louisiana
« and S. Alabama will be heavy, this fall. Plan
ers on Red River will realize an increase of 20
or 25 per cent, over last years yield. A corres
pondent at Mobile wrilesjo us that the Cotton
crop ot S. Ala , will Le heavy, and will he early
in market.
Census Asecbote.— Mr. Cist, in a letter to
the Editor of the Chronicle, relates the following
dialogue between himself and a married lady :
“Madam, what age shall 1 put you down?—
(No direct answer.) How old ts your husband?”
—“Sixty-one.” “And your eldest son?”—
‘Twenty-seven.’ “And the next?” —“Twenty-
one.” “And how old do you call yourself?”—
■•I do not know my age exactly ; but it is about
thirty!’ “Did I understand you, madam, that
vour eldest son was twenty—seven?”—“Yes.”
‘You must surely, then, be more than thirty”—
“Well, sir, (quite snappishly,) I told you about
thirty; 1 can’t tell exactly; it may be thirty-one
or two, but I am positive it is not over that.”

outlie friends of Reform, they shall have light.

decreasing stock, and founer prices are well sup
ported. The sales include Gto 700 bags Brazil at
0 10$ cents ; 500 Laguira, 0 11 ; 500 Cuba
10 0 10£ ; 500 Sumatra, 11$, all 4 months, and 500

Cotton. —The Cotton market since our last has
continned very quiet, the causes noticed in the ear
ly part of the week still existing to prevent sales,
except to a very moderate extent; former prices,
however are well sustained. The sales embrace
1000 bales Upland and v Jorida, at 7$ 0 9$ cents ;
200 Mobile, 8 0 10$ ;and 150 Texas, (ri)Ss, for
ming a total for the week of only 2400 bales.
There have been no arrivals since our last.
Flour. —The demand for Western Flour lor ex
port to England, noticed in our last has since con
tinued to a lair extent, and the sales of the week
of Ohio and Genessee will probably fall much short
of 30,000 bbls. Western Canal has been taken at
$5,25 (a) 537 2 ; the latter price for fancy brands ;
and Ohio, at $5,122(0)5,25 for round and flat hoops
though of round there is but little to be had at the
onnci rate. These prices it will be seen, fully sus
tain theadvame noticed in Ihe early partof the
Week and although the receipts for a few days pa>t
have matefally increased,yet owing to the greatly
diminished stuck now on hand probably not exceed
ing 30,000 bbls, of all descriptions,) holders show no
disposition to accept lower rates. There has also
existed a moderate demand for city use and the
eastern market. Georgetown has sold in parcels for
shipment to the West Indies at $5,50 for common,
and ® $5,75 for fancy brands, though at
these rates holders decline selling other than small
lots, 250 barrels Howard street brought $5.62$
yesterday.

article ; the sales embrace 50 hhds. prime Matan
za§ Muscovado, 35 New Orleans, and 76 casks

PETERS’ VEGETABLE PILLS.
rjHIESiI Pills aro no longer among those of
A doubtful utility. They have passed away
from the hundreds that are daily launched upon
the tide of experiment, and now stand before the
public as high in reputation, and as extensively
employed in all parts of the United States, the Can
adas, Texas, Mexico, and the West Indies, as any
medicine that has ever been prepared for the relief
of suffering man. They have been introduced
wherever it was found possible to carry them ; and
there are but few towns that do not contain some
remarkable evidences of their good effects. The
certificates that have been presented to the proprie
tor exceed twenty thousand ! upwards of five hun
dred ol which are from regular practising physicians,
who are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicine
been the subject of editorial comment in vatious
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth
be asserted, that no me licine of the kind has ever
received testimonials of gr. ater xalue than are at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine,
and there arc thousands of families who declare
they are never satisfied unless they have a supply
always on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing
Bilious Fevers, F’ever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaints, Headache, J mndice, Asthma,
Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen,
Piles,.Cholic, F’ernale Obstructions, Heartburn, Fur
red Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach
and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoe, Flatulence, Habit
ual Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or
Sallow Cumplexi m, and in all cases of Torpor of
the Bowels, where a cathartic or an aperient is
needed. They are exceedingly mild in their opera
tion, producing neither nausea, griping nor debility.
The efficacy ot these pills is so well known, and
their use so general, that further comment is con
sidered unnecessary.
For further particulars, see Dr. Peters’ pamphlet,
which can be had gratis of any ot the Agems.
WE would call attention to the advertisement in*
our columns to-day, of PETERS’ VEGFI
TABLE PILLS. We understand by the best mod
ical authority, that there is no preparation of the day
which enjoys so enviable a reputation. At tlie
South ami North, iht-ir success has been unbounded,
and wherever introduced we believe they have
given the frost perfect satisfaction. We have this
day had an interview with one of our citizens, 11.
K. Fox, w ho was recently cured of a most remark
able and obstinate cutaneous eruption, where I lie
body was covered with fulsome ulcers, and even
the tonsils of the throat eaten away—and Dy using
these PILLS daily for six weeks, was entirely re

PETERS’ VEGETABLE PILLS.
They do indeed restore the health of the body,
because they purify and invigorate the blood, and
I licit good effects are not counterbalanced by any
inconvenience ; being composed entirely of vegeta
bles, they do not expose those who use them to
danger, and th.hr effects are ascertain as they are
salutary; they are daily and safely administered to
infancy, youth, manhood and old age, and to wo
men in the most critical and delicate circumstances,
they do nut disturb or shock the animal functions,
but restore their order and re establish their health;
nd for all the purposes which a veg?table purga

OR the cure of white swellings, scrofulous and

wounds, sprains and bruises, swellings and inflam
mations, scald head, women’s sore breasts, rheu
matic pains, tetters, eruptions, chilblains, whitlows,
biles, corns, and external diseases generally. The
proprietor has received at least a thousand cert fi
cales and other documents in favor of his SPECI
FIC OINTMENT —and they embrace almost all
the complaints in their worst stages—to which
ointment or slicking can be applied Among
these certificates, there are a great number from the
most eminent physicians in the country, who use
the Ointment in their daily practice, in preference
to any, or all others which have ever been invented.
The proprietor has also received a great many tes
timonials from farriers, militar/gentlemen, farmers,
and others, relative to the amazing efficacy of his
Ointment, in the bruises, cuts, and all the external
complaints and diseases of horses; and among them
are no less than a dozen certifying to the most per
fect cures which it has performed on the sore
backs of some of those animals. Altogether the
proprietor feels no hesitation in stating—or in put
ting it to the proof against all composition—that
HARRISON’S SPECIFIC OINTMENT is vastly
superior to every thing of the kind which has here
toture been offereuto the public; and the proprietor
nut only vouches for its general good qualities, but
is willing to risk his reputation on a single trial ,
for he knows from the mos ample experience, that
it cannot be used without immediate and palpable
benefit, in any one of the complaints for which it
is so highly recommended. Retail price 50 cents

The Highest Price this Year.
On Friday last, a hhd of Tobacco, made by Col.
Abraham Lewis, of Pennsylvania county, was sold
by P. & J. W. Dudley, at the high price of Twenty
Dollars , which is the highest price any Tobacco
has sold for. It was pronounced by the best judges,
to be the finest hhd of Tobacco opened here this
year. This Tobacco was purchased by J. W.
Morgan, to be manufactured into his Premium
Brand, expressly for his customers- If they wish
the finest Tobacco they ever used, they wfill try
this. Mr. Morgan has presented us with a few
rolls of this Tobacco, which for beauty and supe
rior taste, cannot be surpassed. After the sale,
Col Lewis regaled the merchants and planters pre
sent, with a cold Collation; a large tub of Hard Ci
der being conspicuous, which was much admired by
both the Democrats and Whigs. aug 4
