We shall now redeem our promise to notice this
beautiful and, to us| interesting publication, the
first part of which is row before us. The object of it,
as our readers know * s to illustrate the scenery of
Georgia. This will !*- effected in a series of views,
engraved on steel by fminent artists, under the im
mediate superintendence of James Smillie, Esq.,
from original sketcht* from the pencil of Mr. Rich
ards of this city. T*ese views are to be accom
panied with descriptions by various popular writers
in our State, under th|*ditjrialcare of Mr. William
C. Richards. brief outline of the plan,
we proceed to notice!he part before us. The flat
tering notices of by the Northern press,
had raised our expe Rations high ; but, tiuly, they
are more than rea„:zcd. Part I. is a beautiful
quarte, containing, <?ilhia a printed cover of ex
ceeding neatness, taree of the most exquisitely
finished engravings je have ever seen. These aje
the State House, the|tock Mountain, and the Ogle
thorpe University. *rhe first of these is a vignette
on the title page, afnaster-piece of engraving.—
The Rock Mountairlis a picture that will not only
bear, but repay examnation. It presents a view of
that stupendous scste from the Western base of
the Mountain, and isis charming beyond our pow
ers of description, ffbe third plate, a perfect gem i
of art, is the main e|ifice of Oglethorpe University, i
The finish of these plates strike us as being sur
passingly fine. i
This part containli, moreover, tbc Editor’s Intro
duction, which we Miall probably give to our read
ers entire ; a descriptive sketch of Rock Mountain,
also by the Editor, dnd an historical notice of Ogle
thorpe University, hy Professor Talmage. “Os
the mechanical execution of the work we cannot
speak too highly,” *,ays a distinguished Northern
Editor; and we he;jtily coincide with him. It is,
indeed, “ beautiful The letter-press
actually delights th« eye with its neatness, and the
paper almost rivals n whiteness the snow-flake-
We cannot imagincli work of more beautiful finish.
We hail the appearince of this work as an indica
tion of an increasiil; literary taste among our peo
ple. Georgia will ?bon assume her proper position
in the world of literature and art, and we reieice
in the prospect, 'll is work will bring the hitherto
hidden gems of Georgia scenery to the public Uye,
and gather upon them. It will call the j
teurist and the pi j>sure-seeker into our borders,
and induce Georgians to spend their summers amid
the profuse beautie their own State, rather than
wander hundreds miles to gaze on scenes of less
beauty, bet of fame.
The Northern pr, is says that “ Georgians should
be proud of the and foster it with gen
erous zeal. ’ We feel assured that Georgians trill
be proud of it, and ihzt it will find it? way to their
dwellings from on«| end of the State to the other.
The work must b| hailed everywhere with plea
■ure. Its youthfuiEditor and his brother, deserve
tbe approbation of {every Georgian for their efforts
to advance the art;, among u«. We could say much
more, but time at! space forbid. We will only
reiterate the wish of the Ladies’ Companion:—
“ We cordially wil i success to the work, andjbid

The ship Gaston, Stimson, arrived at this port
last evening from Liverpool, having sailed on the
12th ult. By the politeness of a passenger, we
have been favoured with the perusal of the Liver
pool Courier o f the 11th ult. containing dates
j| two days later than those received by the packet
ship Columbus at New-Y'ork, and four days la
ter than by the Great Western.

on the 11th ult. in sixteen daysf rom New-York.
The commercial dates are to the 10th, but we
are informed by a passenger, that on the 11 th.
the sales of Cotton were about 2500 bales, with
out change of price.
intelligence from the East is highly satis
factory. The war in Syria has been pushed for
ward with activity. It is estimated that in all tne
engagements which have taken place, the Egyp
tian army hss lost 20,000 men in killed, woun
ded, prisoners and deserters. The Turks in the
allied army have proved themselves brave and de
voted troops —and equal to any thing when com
manded by European officers.
The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle,
says:
Com. Napier, in the Powerful, with the steam
ers Gorgon and Cyclops, have quitted Djoun !
Aay to attack Tripoli.
By the taking of Beyrout, about 20 pieces of
artillery, with ammunition and provisions, have
fallen into the possession of the Allied Powers.
Reports of deserters from the fortress of Acre
announce the impossibility of its being able to
hold out, in consequence of the continual deser
tions, and of its present enfeebled state. Capt.
Berkeley, of the Thunderer, commands at Sidom,
which is so well fortified as to defy the attacks
of fifteen thousand men. The Archduke Frede
rick is also there.
Thejattack and carrying of Sidon by storm was
a brilliant affair. The beseiging parly had to
jump from the boats into the water waist deep,
and then to ascend scaling ladders unuer a tremen
dous fire. The Turkish Governor of Sidon was
killed, having previously cut down two of his
own men who attempted to hoist a white flag.
The power of Mehemet Ali in Syria is virtually
annihilated, never in all probability to be exerci
sed again by him or his successors.
CHINA.
We shall very soon hear of some overt act in
this quarter of the world. The progress of the
British arms seems to have been very grand
hi:herlo. The papers so far are filled with spec
ulations.
The Post says—The forts at the Hocca Tigris
were covered with guns. There were perhaps
140 or 160, but very few of them would traverse,
and the attacking ships could so place them
selves that hardly one would bear upon them. In
the event of an attack the havoc made among
the Chinese'would, it was considered, te tremen
dous. It was known that drilling was going on
up at Canton night and day, the arms employed
being .bows, arrows, and semilunar pikes. Lin
was quite indefatigaule in his preparations since
it was ascertained that fighting was actually in
j tended. The Chinese were, however, in great
! terror at the report of fire-arms. In exemplifica
i lion of this it was observed—
| “Only a month or two since, when the little
Hyacinth sloop-of-war hauled into the harbour of
Macao, just to show what she could do, where it
was crowded with war junks full of soldiers, eve
ry one of them made his escape to the shore,
mandarins and all. They took off their red jack
ets, (for they wear scarlet like the English sol
diers,) and put them into their capacious bree
ches, throwing down their comical caps, and
, stamping upon them in their fury.”
A correspondent of the Bulletin announces
the capture of Tobasco by the Federal forces.—
As the oltier parts of that State were already in
dependent of the Centralist government of Mex
ico, the emancipation of the chief city complete
ly annuls Bustamente’s power in that quarter.
We trust General Anaya will manage better than
the Federal leaders on the Texian frontier. It
will not surprise us in the least, however, to hear
of John Bull’s interference in the Government of
Yucatan and Tobasco. He has something in
view, or he would not reinforce his garrisons in
the Bay of Honduras, and give a very heavy
bouniy to induce a company at home to csta
-1 blish a line of steam ships between England and
’ the ports in the "West Indies, and the Gulf of
Mexico. 'The distress which occasionally visits
! her working men and manufacturers, has not de
terred England trom greater undertakings than
such a conqu°st would be likely to prove. A less
expedition than that sent against China would
suffice to give the British the control of Central
America and Yucatan, while her Indian sypois
would have nothing to fear from change of cli
mate. —New Orleans Courier.
Martin Van Buren was one of the chief ad
j vocates of what South Carolina calls “ the bloody
bill.” John Tyler was the only man in the Se
j nate, who, late at night, recorded his volt against
i that bill. Nevertheless, South Carolina votes
i for Van Buren, and rejects John Tyler. How
j fallen and degraded is the spirit of “ the chivalry
j State,” since she raised the dish-cloth banner to
the top of her palmetto flag-staff.— Prentice.
The New Cabinet.—Until something defi
nite as to the intentions of the President elect
was known upon this subject, we considered the
business of cubient-making about the poorest
in which an editor could engage. We are now
prepared to speag, because we have authentic in
formation. On the first day of the present ses
sion, Daniel Webster was tendered the situation
of Secretary of State, or Secretary of the Treas
ury, or any other post in the new administra
tion that he might choose,— New York Commer

The following beautiful admonition to the
gentler sex, we clip from the Philadelphia North
American:
“ A summer bird that has lingered late into
the autumn, leaving its timid foot print in the
first fall of snow, ever reminds us of that deli
cate fair one, in light thin slippers, on an icy
pavement. The bird, however, can escape to a
warmer clime, and in the spring it can re-appear;
but the lady is on that journey from which there
is no return. The music of the bird may again
gladden its native tree; but her voice will not
again cheer the hearth of her home. The badges
of sorrow and the slow r returning hearse, will
soon tell what that slipper has done. It has
taken from us in the bloom of life one that we
loved, but who would not listen to the voice of
bright days are now passed;
the light of her countenance has fled, and the
night of the grave curtains the deep couch of her
repose. But a voice speaks tenderly from that
grave to those whom she has left behind; it
whispers the admonition which she has disregard
ed. Shall that whisper not bt heard ? It is a
sister’s voice that pleads.”
General Harrison, we understand, is expected
to leave heme for Virginia the latter part of this
month. He will spend the month of January
with his friends in the Old Dominion, and repair
to Washington in February, to be ready on the
4th of March to enter upon the duties of the im
portant office to which the People have elevated
him.— Maysvil/e Eagle.

The news is decidedly in favor of continued
peace. The Chamber of Deputies have elected
all the ministerial candidates, for Presidency and
Vice Presidency, by large majorities.
The candidates put forward and the number
of votes stood as follows:
M. Sauzet, 220
M. Odillon Barrot 1.54

From India the intelligence is disastrous and
gloomy in the extreme and the miserable results
of the premature withdrawal of the troops from
•Scindeand Afghanistan, are now being reaped.
Accounts have been received of the loss of a
greater number of officers and men than during
the whole Caboul campaign.
Five officers and 200 men were killed, and all
baggage, consisting of upwards of 1,000
camels laden with supplies, horses, ammunition,
and 40 to 50,000 rupees in cash, fell a prey to the
Belooches. Such, says our correspondent, is the
effect of the premature withdrawal ol our troops
from the country ; such the result predicted by
the Duke of Wellington 18 months ago, of the
foolish attempt to conduct extensive warlike ope
rations on a peace establishment. Vigorous ef
forts were making at Bombay to retrieve the dis
asters brought about entirely by Lord Aukland’s
penny-wise and pound-foolish measures.
Scinde asb Belociustan —The intelligence
from the North West by the present mail, is of
a most gloomy and disastrous character. Within
the last two months, the British arms have sus
tained more reverses and a greater number of offi
cers and men have been sacrificed, than during
the whole of the late campaign. Quetta, De
dur, Kalmur, and other ports, are in imminent
danger. Kelat has been taken.
London, Nov. 11.
The news received to-day from India and
China, was not regarded by the commercial class
es as satisfactory, anu has caused an advance of
2d. per lb. on Teas. So far from any retrograde
in the funds having taken place, the quotations
tended rather the contrary way.

The demand for Cotton continues only mode
rate, and the market, though without our being
able to reduce our quotations, presents a languid
appearance. Speculators have taken 750 bales

are to the trade, who seem disinclined to pur
chase more than their immediate wants require.
The public sale of Sea Island to-day, (declared
only in Tuesday last,) went off on the whole as

Dullness continues to reign throughout our

Maternal Influence. —Timothy Dwight
and Aaron Burr were firstcousins. Their moth
ers were daughters of the elder Jonathan Ed
wards. Both these mothers were devoted Chris
tians, and both consecrated their infant sons to
God on the altar of prayer. The mother ot the
former lived to train him up in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord, and to witness and en
joy the blessed fruits of her extraordinary faith
fulness to his best interest. The mother of the
latter, f together with his excellent father,) died
in his early childhood, after having experienced
and communicated by letter to her father, very re
markable spiritual exercises in behalf of the soul
of her promising son—the recorded pledge of
? what she would have been to him, had her holy
life been prolonged. Thus early bereft of paren
tal axamplc. protection and instruction, Aaron
Burr, with capacities not inferior to those ot Tim
othy Dwight, pursued a course which has made
his name a terrific beacon, both in the domestic
circle and in the political world; while Dr. Dwight
became eminently successful in extending the
bounds of learning and religion while he lived,
and left behind him a noble monument of piety
and genius in his written works. Who can say
but that if Mrs. Burr had lived to watch over and
pray with her son, these highly gifted youths
might have pursued the same narrow path so
that they might have been eqally useful on the
earth, and equally welcome in the Heavens.

A Renowned Quack. — About fiveoi six years
ago there became known to fame, in the Shan-,
dean construction of celebrity—i. e. within a cir
cle somewhat beyond sight of the smoke of one’s
house—one Vincent Priessnilz, and illiterate far
mer in the Province of Moravia in Germany, who
having invented a remedy for disease, which
proved successful, accidentally or otherwise, in
some peculiar cases, was noised about as the dis
coverer of the long remedy. Bv
degress, however, his celebrity has exceeded the
Shandean limits, until at this time he is known
over a great part of the continent and in Great
Britain. Hundreds flock to him, among whom
are said to he not a few of the nobility. His
remedy is cold-water and nothing else—this ta
ken inwardly and applied externally ? hut always
cold. He continues to reside at his little farm,
and observes the same simple customs he preser
ved when unknown. The great and the proud
submit to them—lured by the charm of supersti
tion, and the glimmering hope of health, the rich
man’s bliss the poor man’s riches, they yield up
their luxuries and tneir splendour, and resign
themselves to the 'rigid simplicity of the Quack
physician. The following short description of
Priessnits’s mode of treatment ot disease is a trans
lation from a German paper :
Dr Vinzentz Phiessnitz. —This new cele
brated physician last summer again performed
great and astounding cures. His fame has al
ready extended to America. But a few years
ago he was denominated an eccentric quack. A
large cumber of patients visit him every year,
among which are many of the nobility of Europe.
He resides near the town of Grafenburg in Ger
many, in a mountainous but very healthy spot.
His method is different from that of any other
physician. He uses no medicine except cold wa
ter. and he generallycures his patient in three days
but in no instance is more than six days requisite.
As soon as the symptoms of an inflammatory dis
ease appear the Doctor takes a linen sheet, wets
it in cold water and after wringing it effecually,
he spreads over it a very thick blanket on a bed.
He then undresses the patient with great des
patch aad|lays him on the wet sheet in bed, wraps
this and the blanket very tightly around him, and
covers him with several feather beds. If the pa
tient is articled with a disease of the brain or oth
er disease which occasions fever in the head, he
applies also a wet linen sheet to it, but much
thicker than the other, and wraps it several times
around the head, particularly around the forehead
and temples, and covers it with a blanket. For
an inrtamation of the throat, he applies the same
about the neck. These applications are repeated
every 5, 10, 15, 20 or 30 minutes, according to
the proportion of the fever. The patient after
being ten minutes in this situation, becomes warm
throughout the system. In some cases where
the head is much affected, he applies one or two
buckets of cold water to the back part of the head
und neck, every time he repeats the application
of the wet sheet. These frequent coolings lessen
the fever, and generally in two hours it is entire
ly conquered. When this is accomplished the
patient remains in bed with the wet sheet around
him, more covering is applied over the body ex
cept the head, which is kept as cold as possible.
In the course of an hour or an hour and a half,
the patient becomes heated, and soon after a per
spiration follows, which however does not affect
the lungs. The pa.ient is now allowed to drink
—but only cold water, the windows of the room
are thrown open to admit the fresh air even in win
ter, which pierces through the room, increases the
perspiration. After remaining in this heated con
dition from two to three hours, he is immediately
placed into a bathing tub situated near the bed
filled with cold water, where he remains five
minutes during which his whole strength will
admit. After the bath he is rubbed perfectly dry,
is again dre sed and takes some exercise in the
room.
This method is repeated as often as the symp
toms of a fever appear and from three to six re
petitions the uisease is cured. The recover}’ fol
lows in a few days, and the patient may then pur
sue his avocation without feeling any loss ot
strength. All kinds of medicine, says Dr. Pries
nitz, are unnessary, nay, highly dangerous. Ail
spices, as well as coffee, tea, wine. &c. are pro
hibited, and water, cold water only is recommen
ded, and to be used very copiouly.

Uncle Ike’s Poncy.
Os all the tarnation creeturs that ever cum in
to this world jest for a plague, our Uncle Ike’s
poney was a ieetlc o’the outdashest I—Sitch a
haw-hawin’ as Jim Gorkins’ boys used to set up,
when Uncle Ike tried to turn him round their
corner, so as to get him down the lane, was a
caution to ski eech-owls. Oi l Marlue J inkins
said that it put her in mind of one Mister Span
ler that she’d hern tell on, that had his boss’s
tail tore rite smack out on account of his
bein’ too obstroperlous; but Uncle Ike alwus
reckoned that his boss couldn’t be cured without
it was driv in. Uncle Ike never could, some
how or nother, git fairly mounted, but the sar
pent would back rite agin the fence, and rare up
like a hay-stack. “You darned everlastin cree
tur,” says Unde Ike, “ why on airth can’t you
go ahead jest as easy as logo agin that are tenceV
And then Uncle Ike would git off' and give him
a pooty considerable smart hidin’, but he
wouldn’t dars too git on him agin, cos he’d run
when he got licked for about half a day, jest like
a mad bull arter a streak o’ lightnin', and Uncle
was a letlle afeared, at sitch times, of gettin’ his
head works knocked all to squash. And he was
jest as ugly as sin, in harness, and Uncle Ike
said, that if he warnt a family boss, a kind o’ air
loom, he ’ud a got red on him long ago, cos there
warnt no doin’ nothin’with him, no how. So
there warnt but one feller down about our parts
that could cum it over the poney, and that felle
was Joe Beadle, he that used to court Jane Wig
gins, and he could manage that critter jest as
easy as whistlin’. Wal, it cum out one night
that there was to be a dance down in the Town
Hall, and Betsey Johnson, Joanny Rogers, Ke-
Taylor and a hull bilin’ o’gals, allowed that
they had detarmined to go. So they raked and
scraped about to git fellers, and Keziah she pitch
ed upon Joe, cos she wanted to rile Jane Wig
gins, for tellin’ ; Aunt Sukey that she (Keziah) had
to borry a pair of stockins to go to George Ri
ley’s weddin’ in. Wal, Joe agreed to hitch on,
cos he sort o’ kalkilated that Jane would git that
town fellow Dick Wilson, that sol in the Dea
con’s pew the Sunday afore, to go along o’ her,
and he wanted to know for sartain sure.—So
there was all-fired prime stayin’ and Joe went
down to Keziah's and tackled up their spankin’
Bill, and got in and sot off. Dick stood out for
the poney, and Jane jined it with him, tho’Un
cle was dreadful onwillin’, but as there was two
agin one, he at last gin in, howsoindever he told
’em aforehand, that he shouldn’t a mite wonder
if they both cum hum missin’. So they rigged
out and went oft’ pooty named fierce,slicked rite
stret past Bets Johnson’s team and beat Joe Bea
dle all to nothin’. Lor ? Golly! didn’t Jane
puss up and look as big as ail out doors when they
rid past Keziah, and didn't Keziah look rite stret
ahead, jest as tho’ there warn’t nothin' happenin’.
They went on at a pooty smart jog, ’till they cum
up to Squire Collins’ mills, and there was an
old trunk, that laid kind o’ slantcndiklar
along the road. At sight o’ that the poney
skeered and hauled stret up. “ Hullo, you var
mint git up !” says Dick—“darn ye if ye don’t
I’ll wollopye;” and he did wollop him, first right
and then left, then both hands, ’till he got reg’-
!arly tuckered out, and all of a steam o’ sweat,
and then ian-3 she tuck the whip and laid it on
to the critter like Thanjksgivin’ into punkin pies;
jest then along cums Keziah and Bets and all
hands, and sitch a time as they had was a war
nip’ to ttrangers. Joe Beadle undertook to cut
round Dirk’s team liansum, but the old creetur
sheered ofl', upsol the slay, and out went Joe and
Keziah chewallop into the snow bank. Bets
Johnson’s slay got into the same rut, and they
went out head over heels alongside. Theponey
started to run off, knocked over Dick Wilson,
and tore one leg of his trowserloons clean off,
cotched the slay up agin a pile o’ plank, knock
ed it into a cocked hat, and tore for hum like all
natur. As for Dick, he heard one of the boys
hint that his trowserloons was made for gome
boddy with one leg, so he picked himself up and
scattered arter the poney. Keziah’s bonnet got
smashed into a picker o’ misery, and she lost one
shoe into the bargain, but at last they all got
stowed away agin, and Jane got into Bets John
son’s slay, and off they went to the ball; but the
hull story had got there afore ’em, and when
they got in there was a general snickerin’, ’till
byme by one long nose feller at the lop of the
ball, haw-hawed rite out, ond then so on one ar
ler another chock down the room. I vow but
didn’t we have a prime time that night—the
gals warn’t none o’ the ugliest, and jest before
breakin’ up lime, the fellers got the fiddler drunk,
and put out all the lights, and sitch a scratchin’
for cloaks and bonnets, and sitch a hugging and
kissing, and screamin’, and gittin hum thro’the
snow banks, warn’t no laughin’ matter for hye
nas. Jane Wiggins never arter trusted the po
ney without Joe Beadle, and the gals gincrallv
allowed, that there wouldn’t a been hall the sport,
only for that surpent— Uncle Ike's Poney.

We are glad to welcome the bright and gifted
V tola once more to our columns. The, following
is certainly among the sweetest of her many de
lightful favors. It is an address written for tiie
young ladies of Airs. M’Kee’s Female Seminary,
at South Hanover, la., who completed their course
ol studies last session; and is published at their
request .-
Go lorth—the world is very wide,
And many paths before ye lie,
Devious, and dang’rous, and untried ;
Go forth with wary eye !
Go ! with the heart by grief unbowed I
Go! ere a shadow or a cloud
Hath dimm’d the laughing sky!
But, lest your wandering footsteps stray.
Choose ye the straight, the narrow way.
Go forth —the wcrld is very fair,
Through the dim distance as ye gaze,
And mark, in long perspective, there,
The scenes of coming days.
Orbs of bright radience gem the sky.
And fields of glorious beauty lie
Beneath their orient rays ;
Yet, ere their altered light grow dim,
Seek ye the Star of Bethlehem !
Go forth—within your distant homes
There are fond hearts that mourn your stay ;
There are sweet voices bid ye come;
Go —ye must hence—away !
No more within the woodland bowers
\cnir hands may wreathe the summer flow ers,
No more your footsteps stray ;
To hall and hearth, to grove and glen,
Oh when will ye return again !
Not when the summer leaves shall fade.
As now they fade from shrub and tree.
When autumn winds, thro’ grove and glade,
Make mournful melody;
The long, bright, silent, autumn days.
The sunset, with it« glorious blaze,
These shall return—but ye
Tho’ time may all beside restore,
Ye may come back to us no more.
Go—ye have dreamed a fairy dream,
Os cloudless skies and fadeless flowers,
Os days, whose sunny lapse shall seem
A fete ’mid festal bowers !
But of the change, the fear, the strife.
The gathering clouds, the storms of life,
The blight of autumn showers.
Ye have no vision—these must be
Unveiled by stern reality !
Ye must wake (for time and care
Have ever wandered side by side,)
To find earth false, as well as fair.
And weary too, as wide.
Ye yet must wake, to find the glow
Hath faded from the things below.
The glory and the pride!
To bind the willow on the brow’,
Wreathed with the laurel garland now.
i But wherefore should I break the spell
'That makes the future seem so bright:
Why to the young glad spirit tell
Os withering and blight ?
Twere better; when the meteor dies,
A steadier, holier light shall rise,
Cheering the gloomy night:
A light, when others fade away,
."till shining on to perfect day.
Go then —and when no more are seen.
The faces that ye now behold—
When years, Jong yeais shall intervene,
Sadly and darkly told —
f£When Time, with stealthy hand, shall trace
His mystic lines on every face.
Oh may his touch unfold
The promiseef that belter part,
The unfading spring-time of the heart !
Viola.
Jf.sts of Domitian.—Like Nero, whom he
resembled in some points, Domihan was capri
cious in his cruelty. When at the shows which
followed the triumphs, a tempest of lain came on
he would not allow any one to quit the place and
seek shelttr. He himself also remained ; but he
had several cloaks, and changed them as they be- |
became wet. Many of the spectators died in con
sequence of colds and frvers. To console them,
he invited thejp public supper, which lasted
all through the He gave the Senate and
Knights also a curious supper, at the same lime.
The room in which he received them was made
perfectly black ; the seats were black ; by each
stood a pillar with the name of the guest on it,
and a sepulchral lamp ; naked slaves blackened
to resemble spectres, came and danced a horrid
measure around them, and then each seated him
self at the feet of a guest; the funeral meals were
then brought in black vessels. All sat quaking
in silence ; Domilian alone spoke, and his dis
course was ol death. At length hedismissed them;
but at the porch, instead of their own attendants,
they found strange ones, with chairs and sedans
to convey them to their homes. When they were
at home and began to respire freely, word came
to each that one was come from the Emperor ;
terror returned, but it was agreeably dispelled by
finding that the pillar which was silver, the sup
per utensils of valuable materials and the slavewho
had played tiie ghost, weie arrived presents from
the palace.— Keighiley’s Roman Empire.
We Like Spunk. —The editor of the Fay
ette (MissO Advertiser, a Van Buren man, thinks
it is had enough to be beat, without being com
pelled to publish the election returns. He says
he will see Harrison and every body else in Gui
nea before he will do it, and then he won’t. Hear
him:
“What! must vie strip bare our backs, and
permit the whigs to clap their hands at the sight
of every bruise? To publish the returns would
be tantamount to an acknowledgment of having |
receivec a pair of black eyes in Pennsylvania, a
bloody nose in New York, our teeth knocked
down our throat in 1 ennessee. and sundry kicks
under the ribs in Georgia, Maine, Mississippi.
&c. (C/ or e^ec returns, see whig papers !”
Newspapers. —De Tocquevilie, in his “Dc
mosrocy in America, ’ makes use or the following
forcible expression in reference to the importance
of newspapers:
“A newspaper can drop the same thought into
a thousand minds at the same moment. A news
paper is an adviser who does not require to be
sought, but who comes to you of hia own accord,
and talks to you briefly every day of the common

continues rather easy, aad buyers have, in som

before, but for all descriptions above barely fan
previous rates are well Sustained. There is *
tolerably fair stock of Cotton in first hands, but as
a portion of it is held under limits, the quantity
actually on sale, therefore, is only moderate for
the season.

i Sugar — Louisiana —Since our last report theie
. has been rather Jess anination in the Sugar market,
j though the business has reached a fair extern, the
; sales being some 500 to 600 hhds, principally for
the supply of the West, and at piices ranging from
(S' 6 cents, most of the transactions being its
05| cents. Supplies continue abundant, the re.
ceipts of'the last thr*e days being 800 to 900 hhds,
and the market exhibits rather less firmness than
it did last week. We are not advised of any sales
on plantation. The asking price is 5$ cents, but
some planters, whose engagements do not require
immediate sales, are not otfeiing their crops at
present, owig- to the belief that the damage which
the cane has sustained by frost, will materially
i lessen the production, and that, therefore, inghei
prices will yet be realized.
Molasses —Tl e demand for bbls. from the Levee
continus quite active, at 21 0 22 cents p gallon,
the latter being the prevailing rate for lots in good
shipping Older. We are not advised of any fur
ther sales on plantation.

have evinced much firmness, and were quite stiff
in their pretensions up to the close of yesterday’s
business. Buyers have reluctantly submitted, and
have only taken sparingly for immediate freight
engagements, principally fur home use.
As vet no purchases have ueen made on Fiendi
account, orders being limited below present current

withdrawn from the market,considering the view;

State of Trade.—The unparalleled difficult/
in which manufacturers and spinners find them
selves placed by the stringent measures adopter
by the Bank of England, and whose measures Bf '
cessarily influence the bankers here, has cause
an unusually depressed state of trade
the week, which led many of the needy manu!“ c '
turers to force sales at even rather lower rates that
on this day week, low as things then were; “ ri "
though a little more confidence was manifest
forenoon, inconsequence of the prospect of b°j
tiiities soon ceasing in the Levant, it lea to h
or no extra business, buyers evidently wal! /
until the afternoon, to see whether they couul i'
meet with enough of needy parties disposed to I
cept lower rates than were current on Saturday-^
