v j so became attached to any Bill which should pass the House, so far from its being unpopular to preach disunion, and so far from any South ern Representative being hung as high as Hainan for doing so, it would be very popular. Gentlemen mistook the South upon this ques tion. since Southern men were in earnest upon it. and this was the time to meet it. Mr. R thought that Democrats from the North were not with their Representatives from the free States, and sent to the Chair a series of Resolutions alleged to have been adopted at a Democratic meeting in Monroe county. New Vork. [These Resolutions were adverse to the | Wilmot Proviso upon the ground of imputed i evil consequences growing out of the war.] Mr. Grover of N. Y. felt called upon to repel j what he called a slander upon the Democracy I of New York, and he did so by replying to j what had been said of a meeting. It appeared that after the Delegates had left a Democratic j Countv Convention, 28 persons remained and passed a series of Resolutions against the Wil mot Proviso. There was one Anti-Slavery j sentiment in New York. They were all alike | except a few miserable creatures who were seeking for oflice. And the *2B persons referred to were mostly officers. There was a memorial on its way from Rochester signed by live hundred Demo- j crats, all in favor of the Wilmot Proviso, and this was the sentiment of all with the few ex- } ceptions to which he referred. Mr. Ashmun of Mass, also spoke upon this | question of Slavery. He had heard it previ- | ously said by a distinguished Statesman, now of ; the Democratic party, that the Democratic party were held together “by the cohesive power of j public plunder,” but now, by a Northern man j (Mr. Henley of la.) it was said that Slavery ! must be this cohesive power, since the resist ance of the Wilmot Proviso was declared to be ! the only rock upon which the Democratic party could stand. The war question was then examined, and in the course of his argument, Mr. A. vindicated his vote as one of the fourteen who opposed the war in the outset, and the act of Congress which declared war to exist by the act of Mexi co. Mr. Ashmun was warm in his denuncia tions of the sentiments put forth in regard to the calamities of war—opinions like those in the last speech of Charles J. Ingersoll, declaring that if there were calamities arising from the j war in Mexico, he had not heart! of them. Mr. A. thought the man must be most wilfully blind who could not see them with all the fune ral processions and shrouded palls and mourn ing widows and orphans, and fallen men which had already been the fruits of this war. Mr. A. was going on to discuss the slave ' question, and expressed his fears that by some parliamentary trick the House would he cheated out of the Wilmot proviso. He hoped not but — The hammer of the Chairman told the rest, and the floor was given to Mr. McLean of Pa. who addressed the Committee also upon the subject of the war. There were not more than twenty members upon the floor while Mr. Mc- Lean was speaking. The gentleman made a very earnest speech in favor of the war with Mexico. Mr. Dromgoole of Va. made a very amusing speech to the same “beggarly account of empty boxes,” but with certainly increasing numbers. Those who were present wee kept in good humor by the happy hits. The idea of a nation like Mexico having any boundary in time of , war, Mr. Dromgoole considered very amusing. The member from Maine, (Mr Severance) had quoted Malte Brim and others to prove the boundaries of Texas. He seemed to forget the maxim, Inter armn silent leges — Or as he would read it “during war geogra phers were silent.” Geography had nothing to do with war, and war nothing to do with bound ary. We should give up our Mexican territo ry upon no such pretension. Mr Dromgoole had an amusing passage-at-arms with Mr. J. R. Ingersoll in regard to the military abilities of Messrs. Polk and Dallas. It was hinted that Mr. Polk should go to Mexico as his own “ Lieutenant-General.” — Mr. Dromgoole objected to any such proceed ing. It would be razeeing the President. And j who would command the President if the Presi- ; dent went out as “Lieutenant-General.” Per haps the Vice-President, as some gentlemen wished him to the he successor, and perhaps thought this a good way of bringing about the result. (Great laughter.) In time Mr. Dromgoole became in earnest, and recommended that our army should march to the very city of Mexico. Go there, compel the enemy to laydown their arms, in the very heart of their Country—breakup their Govern ment, and as rebels disperse them. Do more than this. Levy contributions, and make con fiscations, all of which we had a right to do un der ihe laws of nations and for the purpose of paying the expense of the war. Mr. Dromgoole made some amusing com ments upon the amendment pending to the Bill before the Committee. It was to strike out the President’s salary,” and was moved by Mr. Wentworth, not in opposition, but, according to custom for purposes of debate. Mr. D. said — “Tell it not in Gath — publish it not in the streets of Asculou” —proclaim it not in Mexico that a friend of the President has moved to withhold the salary from the President! Mr. Tildeu, of Ohio, followed in opposition to the war, and was giving his reasons. The House, by understanding, will not ad journ until eight o’clock this evening, and is in session as I close. Montgomery and West Point Railroad. — The Montgomery Journal says: \V e are happy lo be able to announce to our friends along the line, that the Montgomery Company are de termined not to change the direction of the Road. It ici/l go to West Point, and that expe ditiously as the Company can push it on— Georgia combinations to the contrary notwith standing. Fire in Weatherskiei.d. — The large facto ry in Griswonldville (Weathersfield) occupied by Messrs. Ives Hooker& Co., ofthis city, for the purposes of weaving and knitting, was destroy ad by fire on Monday evening. The building was owned by the Griswoldville Com pany. There was no insurance on it, but Messrs. Ives, Hooker & Co. are said to be in sured on stock and machinery to the amount of $15,000. The fire originated from a spark from a lamp. — Hart. Courant.

No particulars were giv en. Defection of Volunteers. —Two of the companies of the North Carolina regiment of volunteers have determined not to enter the ser vice. One of them, the Rowan company, have disbanded and gone home; the other, the Mecklenburg company, have resolved to offer their services to the President as dragoons in the regular army. The cause of this defection is said to be the action of the Legislature in voting the money to the volunteers, and dissatisfaction with the field officers.— Char.

AUGUSTA MARKET. Saturday, P. M. Cotton — The market was rather dull to-day and but a limited business was done, as buyers generally demanded a further decline, to which, however, hold ers would not yield, The decline from the highest point of the week is J a j cent.

CHARLESTON, Feb. 6,— Cotton— Our last re j>ort, it will be recollected, left the the Upland market in a very unsettled and excited state. The favorable advices brought out by the Hibernia, which had but just come to hand, gave quite an impulse to the mar ket, for at the close of the week prices had advanced $ to |c, and indeed holders at the time claimed even a still greater improvement. On Saturday last there was a manifest disposition on the part of purchasers to operate freely, but the great discrepancy in the views of dealers limited the transactions to some 2280 bales; on Monday, however, an active demand sprung up for the article almost immediately on the opening of the market, which continued throughout the day, and during the excitement upwards of 5300 bales were sold, and at the close of business an advance of 1c j>er lb was established over the prices current previous to the arrival of the steamer. There was a great fall ing off in the demand on Tuesday, as the transactions did not exceed 1500 bales, but the prices paid on the preceiling day was fully sustained. On Wednesday and Thursday the sales were also comparatively light, reaching on the former day 1900, and the latter 2000 bales, but without change in prices. Yesterday was a quiet day, as the operations were restricted to some 1600 bales; and the only change which has been ef fected since the close of the operations on Monday is that the market, as the week advanced, assumed a character of steadiness. Our quotations, which we subjoin, are the same as those published in our semi weekly report of Wednesday, and to them we would refer for the state of the market at the close ofthe week. The receipss since our last reach 12,805 bales, and the aggregate transactions in the same time cover 14,600 bales, as follows: —40 bales at lOf, 16 at 10$, 3/ at 104, 187 at 10|,21 at 10$, 509 at 11, 523 at 11$, 1626 at m, 48 at 11 5-16. 1082 at Ilf, 3745 at 11$, 718 at Ilf, 1309 at Ilf. 409 at 11$, 2641 at 12, 853 at 12$, 447 at 12$, and 133 bales at 12|c.

In the I early part of the week Baltimore and Western were selling at 6$ and s6f, and Virginia 6$ and $7 per bbl; , within a few days, however, holders have advanced i their rates. ; Salt—The receipts of Salt since our last comprise 5462 sacks, a part of which had been sold to arrive, t at sl,lO ; and a portion was so}d on arrival, at some: thing under this rate. Bacon —The transactions since our last have been t very limited. Holders, under instructions, have so ad . vaneed their rates, as for the present to drive purcha sers from the market.

We quote 8$ a 9c. r Sugars— There is a general complaint of the scar -5 city of all descriptions of Sugars ; in fact, the supply 5 on sale was never so light at this season of the year ; and from this circumstance holders of Louisiana have J obtained comparatively' higher rates.
