THE DAILY TIMES. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 21 General Items. The most interesting topic ot conversation with a majority of our renders at this season ot the year is tho slate of the cotton market. Its rise or tall affects in a more or less* degree the interest of the whole community. It would be impossible to speculate with any degree of certainty as to the price of this staple if the future is to be a counter part of the past. Never did a market open with so much activity and briskness and with such prospects of a roady sale ou ihs part of the pro ducer. Every omen was favorable and every ZIo that swept from the east brought on its wings tne joyful tidings of a steady advance in thu articie The cotton was readily shipped for sale and near ly all the markets were in advance of cotton re ceipts at this period last year. Alas, however, for human hope- and prophecy ! Scarcely a week has passed away and the cotton has declined near ly one cent without any apparent good reason.— The yellow fever tnay embarrass a little the trade near our home ports, but cannotaflect it abroad— > otwiths-tanding the treat y of peace with China and the settlement of the India difficulties, the Persia's news—the latest up to this date, (Sept. 2latj—brings us a decline on all the grades of cot. tori. With such fluctuations in the opening of the season, it is not probable that our buvers wil l fall before the iosatiaie and insatiable Moloch of ex travagant speculation, any nvre than our farmers will refuee to sell but store their cotton, when it is bringing so lair a pne* as ten to twelve cents. — The prospect of a large yield ol cotton has long since faded away, the rust having injured it to an extent not yot fully ascertained. Then in view of all these circumstances —the shortness ot the crop —the peace ovei the waters —the present market price—it would be well for larniers no longer to hold back their crops for oetter and more favora ble moments. That dreadful scourge, the yellow fever, has vie ited some of our Southern Cities and still contin ues its ravages. New Orleans is the most infected. The mortaliiy in that city, since the commence ment of the disease, has averaged abuut fifty or sixty persons a day—Galveston has not escaped, but has also been visited by the fever—Mobile and Savannah have also had a touch of the disease. The former to the extent of an epidemic, the latter confined to a few sporadic cases. There iB little interest in the political world. — The olection in Illinois will s on take place and we will hear no more of the politics of a State with wheh we have intermeddled, as well as others, more than was necest-ary. Judge Breese has writ ten a letter in which he demands the authority of the Editor, who announced his declension from tho Senatorial race at and professes allegiance to the time-honored principles of the Democratic party and not the political fortunes ofone man. State affairs are moving on well with Governor Brown at ihehead. The Western and Atlantic Rail Road still continues to pay dividends beyond the most sanguine expectations of the best finan. cier. The question of popular education is attrac ting some atte tion throughout the State and it is more than probable, that the next Legislature will give it that attention which its importance merits. Belore it, the Railroad schemes, which are proper in their place, sink into ins gnifieauce The endowment of a University is also discussed and is worth the highest consideration of the Leg islature. Jefferson could not die until old Vir ginia placed her name at tho head of the list for a thorough university education. Tne school now lives of which he is the father, numbering over six hundred students and is a monument to his wis dom and greatness—other matters of minor inter est are being discussed in the State which will be developed at the m ’eting of the Legislature Un til then, we wait with patience the settlement of the Main Trunk Railroad difficulties, tho Su preme Court decision, and other questions to be submitted to that body. G P R James, Esq. It is with sincere iegret, says the Richmond Ei quirer, that we learn that this distingu shed author, and excellent man, will finally leuvo Rich mond on Tuesday next for New Yoik, where he will probably rake the steamer P rsia of the 29th inut., for Europe, to assume at once his new and responsible duties as Bri i>h Consul-General at Venice. The reders ol the “Enquirer” are famil iar with our cordial appreciation of Mr. James’ eminent merits as a l’terary man, and as an or nament to the social circle. We have had an cp portunity of becoming acq tainted w.th his sim plicity of manners, his warm heart always open to the charities of life, ard his high bearing and lofty integr ty ; and we speak the hearty sentiment of his many devoted friends, when we say that the departure of Mr- James, and his accomplished and charming family, will producia sad chasm in the s cieiy of Richmond. In his free and cordial in tercourse with our people, and in his just apprecia tion of our institutions in speech and writing ,he has ever sh >wn himself to be a modest, high toned gentleman, and a sagacious and honest observer. For many months he has made the town of Ashland his residence —and we learn that, when a few days since, he parted from his friends there, the most stoical spectators of the scene could not suppress their deep emotions.— That was but a typ; of the universal feeling of re gret which will be felt bv our whole community, when the hour of separation shall arrive. In grasping the hand ot the honest and gallant Briton for the last time, we wish new honors, pros perity at and happiae-e lor nimseli and family, and we cordial y trust that the beautiful land of romance in ■TKtaskJjih MttILiJWW pen, mthecauseof humanity, civilization, litera ture and virtue. While our society will lose much in pirtii g with Mr. J lines, we are somewhat con tend by iha thought that the great R-public ot Letters will bo lit up by still more brilliant eme. nations trom :he fii.ege i ts and pure fancy of ihe su ‘Cessiul author, o who-e talents and virtues we render this leeb;e but sincere tribute. Our Sanannah Exuh-no -3. —We r coved on yesterday morning, the sav.uinh Republican oi the 17th, and the News ot the 14tu and i7 t n lusts Thr< is a cause of del. y somewhere, which should be removed. The yellow fever, an abate ment ot which ar l.appy to ob-eive in ou sister city, has never, in ou- judgment, been of so malignant a type as to authorize the Departnun to quarantine her newspapers. The Charleston Mercury, of Thursday, says that yellow fever has broken out in the jail in thatcitv, and that iwo of the crew of the slave ship Echo* bad been attacked by it. They are Spaniards, and their names are Antonio Gomez aud Dornicica De LaP terra. We further learn from the C ourier that oue of the above neume. Amoaio UotneS, ha# c.nw •ted. “Since the arrival of the Africans, twenty fi* have died from the diseases which accompanied them when brought into port. They have had the constant attendance, at the Fort, of an experienced phy-ician. The remainder of the oegroee, to the number of 231, appear to be in a healthy condi lion.” Yellow Fever. As will be seen from our telegraphic dispatches, the number of deaths from Yellow Fever in Char leston during last week were one hundred and and twenty eight For the twenty tour hours end ing at 6 u’clock P. M. on Friday 17 h) at Mobile there was threedeaths. For the same time the day before at New Orleans there were seventy four deaths. This was an increase on the previous days mortality. There were no deaths yesterday in Savannah. The weather was pleasant and no fears entertained as to the di ease becoming epi demic. We publish the news from and y today un der the telegraphic column and our readers can keep informed. Colored Men’s State Convention. Troy, N. Y., Sept. 14.—A Colored xMen’s State Convention is in session in this city. Wm. Rich is President, and about forty delegates are present. Resolutions were introduced to-day, supporting the Republican State ticket, but have not been acted upon. The New York Evening Post, says: A rig iticant item in the annual statistics of the cotton trade is the large increase this year—33l, 000 bales—in the exports of Great Britain, while our own spi"n j r have taken only 452 83 hales, which is 2 3 533 btleGess than the previous year. A significant question is being forced on our attention by tho Quarantine charges at New York. Is it necessary that cotton destined for the English spinners should be exported via New York ? Charleston Courier. There is not the slightest necessi’v for any such thine. There is an utility in it, however, to the New York commission merchant and the Yankee ship-owner, and, under a very reasonable idea, that the charges which they manage to tack on the raw material impart to it an additional value. We do not look for any change in our practice. The theory, that everything we export shall go through New York, seems, indeed, to fol ow from the proposition that every thing we import shall come the same way. Thus we go, Hurrah for New Yoik! Yellow Fever—Galveston. The t blowing we believe to be a correct report ofall the deaths from yellow fever up to this date : SSunday, the sth —Alfonse Buschee, a Frenchman; Ca'herine Calhoun, in the employ ot Mrs Walker. Monday, the 6th.—Leopoldina Foster, a young woman m the employ of Mr. Him keldev, German. Monday night.—Dr. C. Neuman, Ger man. Tuesday, the 7th.—C Ki-saly, of Ger many ; Win. L, Han nay, American; Mrs. Walker, dress-maker. Wednesday, the Bih.—H. Hughes, Arne riean ; T. N. Blackrnar, American ; John Keller, American ; Wm. Webber, German. There was hut one* death last night— that of Mrs. Wright—but this was not a case of yellow fever. There have been no deaths, that we rap hear of to-day. Thf?re were two or three deaths reported in our Tuesday’s paper, as yellow fever, but were not; therefore, the above is c.or f ci. Up to this time all the cases are report ed d'-ing well, except one. We have consulted with tho Howard Association committees for the several Wards, and can hear of but two new cases t -day, and these not considered bad. But two cases have been known in the first Ward, and no deaths. The above deaths took place in the second and third Wards, and most of ih *m in Trvmont street. Upon inquiry i\e find that about half of those who have died have recently come from New Orleans The Howard Association have supplied nursers and all necessaries to all who stand in need o r assistance; and we hear of two or three families who were entirely desti tute when first visited by the Howards. We are glad to be able to report that all our physicians have generously tendered iheir services for all charily cases, without ebatge. The present indications afford eneourage ment to hope that the disease will not extend much further. The continued hea vy rams, from time to time, attended with thunder, and some pretty heavy wind®, may perhaps have had the effect to r move the infection.— Galveston News, Sept. 9th. Judge Breese on the Illinois Eletcion. Carlyle,Sept. 7, 1858. Rev. W. F. Boyakin, Ed. Bellville Dein. Dear Sir :—I demand, as a right, to know who requested you to say, as you have said in an editorial of your paper, on the h inst., that “Judge Breese is not, noi will he be, a candidate for the United States Senate in opposition to Mr. Douglas ; and all that has been said ia reference to his stumping the State against the Democratic part\, is without any foundation what ever.” The article is artfully prepared, but it will not deceive, if such was its object. It never has been said in any paper, or elsewhere, by anybody, that I intended t stump JbfiJSjqJg. Democ^ unnecessary. You might have sworn oi your friend Casper Th ell’s bible, that I never would be found in opposition to the great Democratic party of the nation, whose hardest bat le* 1 nave helped to tight and vu , for more than a quarter ol a century. You might take your oath o> that without fear. Bii I mink, trend Boyakin, your ideae •I Democ racy and mine differ most essen tially. You will pardon me for saying that voiirs seem to be concentrated in one man while mine embrace gre;it priricip'es.— Yours seem to tend to the disruption anci debaucuery of that great party ; mine, t< its conservatism and purity. Yours, i carried out, will annihi'afe it; mine wil; restore it to its prestine vigor. Wnat posiiiou 1 may consider it my dut\ to assume in this coruest, now so titreeh waged against the Democracy of the na lion, its cherished and time-honored prinei pies, and fiercer still against him to whon hat portion of the nation has committee ihe power, will depend on circumstances One thing vou may be assured, and nr past life is the guarantee, th t I will not b silent nor inactive when I see, or think J ®ee, thttt great party in danger from con spirators within its own bosom, or from ft** 1 without. The last are least to be dread *d. as their attacks are open in suiffght. at and manly. The conspirator deals his blows secretly ; he get np fdse issues for the oc casion, under the cover of which he makes his attack. The species of warfare is now iti progress, and I am surprised you do not Bho it. They may destroy the citadel, but the foundations will remain; they are ever lasting ; “the eternal years of G->d are hers,” and on them the national edifice will be re buii , attracting the masses by the beauty of its design, the solidity of its structure, and hy the pure purposes to which it will be again dedicated. It will afford us shelter from selfish and intractible ambition, and around its altars will be found none but true and faithtul worshippers. Lend a helping hand to save the present from the assaults of the destroyer, to which you cnnot and ought not to be insensible. Thus shall you be honored of men. Thus shall you become a bright light and a safe guide for our people. Thus only can you preserve the principles you claim to rev erence. I hope you will publish this letter and send me the name of the persons who gave the authority you have exercised in regard to me and my name. Very truly and respectfully, Your obediant servant, SIDNEY BEESE. I Montgomery “Advertiser”—An Apol ogy- The editor of this paper—Mr. Shorter— announces that he lias been absent from hie post for the last two months, and dis claims any responsibility for the conduct of his journal in me meanwhile. He takes occasion to protest Ins persistent oppo sition to the “League.” H aving received satisfactory assurances that Mr. Shorter is in no way way account able for the attacks upon us which have appeared in his paper, and that he regrets and repudiates them, we take the greatest pleasure in withdrawing every word and syllable we have written to tiis discredit, and in offering him any apology adequate to the occasion. —Richmond South. The National Horse Exhibition at Springfield. Springfied, Mass., Tuesday, Sept. 14- The third National Exhibition of horses in this city opened to-day with the most gratifying prospects of success. The weath er ard all things are propitious to the occa sion, and the attendance and proceedings cf tne day have- most fully realized the antici pations of those interested. The display embraces a large number of the most celebrated horses in the country, the whole numbering about five hundred. The general calvacadeot horses entered lor the exhibition made the circuit of the grounds this morning several times, pre senting one of the moat magnificent equea train spectacles ever witnessed here. In the Park grounds the remainder of the day was mostly occupied with the exhibi tion of various classes of horses, whose trials of speed and display of the superior qualities attracted enthusiastic admiration, This evening a public reception took place in the City Hall, at which spirited ad dresses were made by Mayor Phelps and Dr. Chaffee, of this city : S .lon Robinson, ot New York; Richard H. Yeadon, of Charleston, S. C,; Mr. Ladd, rate President of the Ohio Agricultural Society, and Mayor Lewis, of Worcester. The floor of the hall was occupied by ci'izeus and goes s from ab*oad,and the gaileriesby a brilliant assem blage of ladies. The reception throughout was a very pleasant and enthusiastic afftir. A largo number of people are arriving from vari us parts of the country, and the attendance during the remaining days of the exhibition will be very great. Among those that have arrived this even ing are Gov. Banks and staff and N. P. Willis. The exhibition opens to-rnorrow with a very interesting trial of speed, with stallions of 8 yers and upward, and among the competitors will appear the celebrated hor ses Ethan Allen. Hiram Drctc , and other notables of the Turf.— N, Y. Times. Logic. A writer in the Westminster Review once took the position that alcohol is food, and offered the following logic in prool of it. “Food is force, Alcohoi is force, Theretore alcohol is food.” Dr. Mussey gives a formula equally legit imate and conclusive, namely : “Horse feed is torce, Whipping a horse is force, Therefore whipping a horse is horse feed.” Good logic tolerably; equal to : “A horse has legs, So has a man, Therefore a man is a horse.” Kissing.—Hardly any two females kiss alike. There is as much variety in the manner of doing it, as in the faces of the t,ex. Some delicate little creatures merely give a slight rub of the lip. This is a sad aggravation. We seem about to “ have a good time,” but actually get nothing.— yi u „ n£ L7. “J 5? tenances. This, which is not a common case, is too much likt Cannibal Islands, and soon drives away a delicate lover. Others struggle like hens while burying themselves m dry dirt. The kiss is won by great ex ertions, and is not worth as much as the trouble it costs. Now, we are in favor of i certain shyness when a kiss is propoposed, out it should not be continued too long; and when the fair one gives in, let her adminis ter the kiss with warmth and energy. Let here be a soul m it. If she closes her eyes, and sighs deeply immediately after it, he effect is greater. Sue should be c*re ul not to “spread” the kiss, bu f give it as i humming bird runs his bill into a honey uckle, deep but delicately. Thf re is mu<-h virtue in a kiss when well delivered.

The Quickest Ocean Passage. —The last passage of Ute Persia to England, out strips every previous one by some hours, as verified by the A-ia’s news. On the 18th ult., at 1.05, P. M., Lord Napier left the deck of the Persia, then lying in the stream; at 1.15 she got under way and gave her farewell salute ; steamed on t<> St. John’s, N\ F, against a strong head wind ; took on board the mails and passen gers of the crippled steamer Europa— thereby dusing a deviation from her cours of 23 hours; sailed for Liverpool, which port she reached by 6, A.

A good way to dodge an issue. The Rice Harvest. —Although the vvea liter has been extremely unfavorable foi the past week, the harvest we learn hat been steadily pursued and good progress made. The crop, if not overtaken by un foreseen disaster, promises to be a heavy one. The Weather, however, at present wears a heavy and stormy aspect, which causes the planters many fearful forebodings of the future morrow. —Georgetown Times. The Tri-Weekly Southern Recorder.
