AN INDIAN BEAUTY
From “Sketches of the Pawnees by a corres
pondent of the New York American.”
The rest of the party then commenced
their inarch in Indian file across the riv
er, keeping in a line with the indian,
who led the way across the ford. Most
of the party followed the guide; but the
horses of some of us grew restive; and
missing the ford, we drifted a short dis
tance down the stream. Here we reach
ed a small Island, and scrambling up its
bank we gallppped across to the opposite
adie. Here we found the young wife of an
Indian Chief of the Otoe Indians, stan
ding in the edge of the water. She was
about 20, tall and finely formed, and her
face, next to that of the wife of the Kio
way Indian, was the most beautiful of
any of the Indian females we had ever
met with. Her hair was parted across
her forehead, and hung down upon her
shoulders; a small jacket of blue cloth
was fastened around her shoulders and
breast, and a mantle of the same was rap
ped around her body They had been
presented to her by the Commissioner
but a few days before. She was standing
upon a small bay, and the water was
gurgling around her feet; a short dis
tance in front of her the deep channel was
rushing with a powerful current. She
looked at the water and then at her dress
withan expression of almost childish sor
row. To swim the river would ruin
them; the Indians had all reached the op
positebank, and were waiting for the
rest to come up, so that there was no as
sistance to be expected from them.
Just then the hunter;: dashed bv her
into the deep channel : they did no’, even
notice her; they were used to such
sights. I was the last of the party, and
she knew it; for though we could not
speak the same language, there was an
imploring expression in her large dark
eye as she fixed it upon me, that told every
thing. Still I hesitated: I thought of
pushing on; there was a powerful strug
gle between selfishness and a desire to
assist her; she saw it, and speaking a
few words in her own silver tongue, she
at the same time pointed to her new dress.
There was something so sorrowful in
the tone and gesture, that I could uot re
sist it. I took my rifle in my left hand,
and reaching out my right, she seized it;
she placed her foot upon mine, and with
a sudden bound she was upon the back of
my horse, stooping behind me with her
arms around my neck: The horse on
which we were mounted was so long ac
customed to have his own way in every
thing that he grew very indignant at
this new imposition, no doubt looking up
on it as an infringement upon hi.s pic
rogativc—but a heavy lunge of the/;-;
subdued his wrath, and bounded fovA.m
into the rushing river. He was a pow
erful beast and took to the water like a
sea fowl, the river rushed and roared
around us with an almost dizzying ve
locity and we could feel the nervous quiv
ering of his limbs as he bore up against
its violent impetus.—but occasionally as
he went snorting along, he cast back spite
ful glances at his riders; 1 expected
mischief, and it came to pass. We felt
his hoofs touch the bottom—three leaps
—he was up the bank—his heels flew in
the air, thearms ofthe squaw were jerked
violently from my ncek and I saw her
form describing a sommerset through
the air and site landed upon her feet and
received no injury. The Indians raised
a shout of laughter and the relieved
horse now being satisfied, copimenced his
journey towards the Republican village.
From the Detroit Courier,
TECUMSEH.
The following incident in th career of
this remarkable savage, which we do
not reccollect to have seen published,
may not be altogether uninteresting to
our readers, though we fail to embody it
in the glowing language of an eye-wit
ness, by whom we chanced to hear it
narrated, We give it with the more
readiness, well knowing the importance
attached by the public to any occurrence,
however slight, serving to illustrate the
character of a distinguished individual,
and such the self-strived "King ofthe
Woods” is universall allowed -to have
been, though border traditions have dark
ened the policy and patriotism ofthe na- j
tive warrier with the deepest pencilling
offeroeity and bloodthirstiness.
The train of events immediately sue
feeding the memorable victory of Lake
Erie on the 12th of September, 1814, are
►till fresh in the memory of many of
oar inhabitants. Among them was the
evacuation of Fort Malden by the British,
notwithstanding the earnest counsel of
Tecumseh that it shouid be maintained
to the last, at the same time proposfngto
►kirt the forest below with h.ijs ‘ braves,”
and foot by foot to dispute the progress
z>l the assailants It was a bright autum
nal day when the army of General Har
rison, under the escort of Commodore
Perrys little fleet, sailed from Put-in-
Bay, for the purpose of occupying that
important post
The warlike array ofthe little squad-
row. still scored with the marks of the re
cent engagement; the fluttering of pen
ants and waving of btitle flags; and the •
filesof soldiery crowding the boats with
their burnished muskets, throwing back
the glitter of the sun, were described as
having formed a truly animating speca
cle. Their course lay along that part of
the Lake which had been the scene of
conflict but ten days previous, and terri
ble mementos of that bloody victory, stil
surrounded them in the floating bodies of
the dead, blackened and mangled ds they
were tossed from the deeks, the red coat
of Brittons contrasting with the grey dress
ofthe marine or the blue jucket of the
American tar. As they drew near the
Canadian shore, an object was discerni
ble flitting along the beach, and dashing
with rapid movement down the entire
front of the appaoaching fleet, and an on
leilsurly pausing to reconnoitre. A near
er view revealed a trim and athletic horse
man, mounted on an Indian poney, dres
sed in a belted hunting frock of smoked
deer skin, with the appendage of long gai
ters st rapped below the knee, and richly
ornamented mocasin. It was the cele
brated Tecumseh, who notwithstanding
the flight of his white ally, had lingered
behind to ascertain the force of the inva
ding enemy, and who after singly con
fronting their floating batteries, till satis
. fied of their numerical strength, leisurely
j withdrew, as if in dignified defiance, from
the shore, to communicate the intelligence
to the remaining inmates of the Fort.
Had the dauntless spirit and quicksighted
sagacity ofthe Indian warrior been shar
ed by his British brother, it is prob
able that our troops, after a harrassing
march to Malden, would have met with a
warmer reception than they experienced
from a few bed-riddeu paralytics, and a
group of defencelsss women and children,
While upon this subject, it may not be
amiss to advert to a scene, which formed
a concluding portion of the sn'iae narra
tive, though'not materially connected cith
the name of Tecumseh. A party ofthe
Kentucky troop of Horse, under the com
mand of Col. Johnson, still following up
the tracks of Gen. Proctor after his dis
comfiture at the forks of the Thames, took
possession of the Moravian town, on that
river, which had but recently been evacu
ated by the enemy. These wild and
fearless men, to whom peril was but pas
time, and who seem to have resembled in
some particulars the tameless horsemen
of the Don, were already rendered half
furious at the cold and savage butcheries,
which had spilt the best blood of Ken
tucky like water.
When orders were therefore given to
fire the rows of the deserted log cabins,
which constituted the town, these wild ri
ders, in the mere wantonness of daring,
scoured furiously through the streets, wal
led as they were on either side by sheets
of flame, their vicious and half tamed an
imals to all appearance equally elated
with the strange glee of their masters.
The very appearance of these mad war
riors must have been semibarbarons,
bearded and browned as they were by
exposure, and attired in the costume of
the backwoodsmen, with their carbines
slung over their shonlders, the long hun
tingknife thrust into the belt ofthe deer
skin frock, and canteen slung from the
bearskin saddle bows.—This, with the
roaring of the conflagration, the crush of
the falling dwellings, the shouts of these
desperate troopers, and the clattering of
their horses as they burst ever and anon
through the smoke and flames, must have
nresented as singular and striking a pic
ture as has ever been sketched even by
the pencil of romance.
GAMA GRASS.
Alabama, July 15, 1834..
7’otA.e Editor of the Farmer and Gardener:—
Sir:—ln the cultivation of Gama
Grass, I have four. ‘ tnat planted at two
feet it is brought sufficiently close. At
eachcuting a slight stiring of the ground,
with a common sprouting hoe, has been
of much advantage in hastening the. fol
lowing growth. Early in the spring I
have found much advantage from a lim
ing, and a sprinkling of rotten cotton seed
which, after the first cutting, I dig into
the soil, amongst the roots. Cowpen ma
nure has been applied, also, at the same
period, with singular effect. The capac
ity ot this plant for standing excessive
drought, is certainly one of the most val
uable claims it has, and was fairly settled
during the severe drought experienced in
this section ofthe Union, in 1832. In no
month was the growth more than three or
four inches shorter than the proceeding
seasonable year. As regards its duration,
I can only state, that a highly intelligent
Spanish Gentleman, who immediately re
cognized it, and with much apparent plea
sure observed it an object of cultivation,
answered to my enquiry, respecting its
durability, a Spaniard who started in life
with a well set lot of Gama Grass, and a
sound and young mule, calculated that
they would cease to exist about the
same time; and that, “may you live as
long as Gama,” was deemed among the
Spanish peasants in the provinces, no
uncourteous sentiment.
In one light, I must continue to view
this plant as invaluable to the south.
Whenever the agriculturists of the south
can be persuaded that it is their best inter
est, not only to preserve their land, but to
render it productive by a spirited system
of improvement, then I am persuaded this
grass will be found without a rival. As
a substitute for soiling, the key to a suc
cesssful accumulation of manure,-as also
to a successful improvement ofthe breeds
o Game so far this grass is v Hout an
equal tor quantity of ve< matter,
most agreeable to horned - well at
horses. . The itt • time e d, and
the ease with .-. ffieh one hundred head us
cattle might be fed daily. WO qld appear
incredible to those unacquainted ' with
this forage. With the afd of this grass
no part of the union, I must contend pre
sents a superior resource for souring two
of the nToat important objects to the jjlart-}
ter, viz. the improvemen of his cattle and
the accumulation of the Arator’s "gold
dust’— the means of enriching his lands,
and the most perfect security for an am
ple return for the labour bestowed on his
soil.
As regards the SOil On which Gama
ought to be cultivated, I will state a cir
cumstance that has come under thy owrt
observation. Like Mr, Ellison, I felt
Confident it would be found to grow best
in a soil with a good-clay foundation; but
to my no small astonishment, the most
luxuriant growth yet prodiiced in this
state, that I have seen of heard of has
been oil a pine woods hill, the soil of which
is proverbial for being without a founda
tion of any kind—a quicksand bed—-the
ground has had for some years a garden
cultivation, that has been cut monthly dur
ing the summer, for eight years: and I am
assured the growth this yeas is as vigo
rous as any preceding. June ghvd me
the finest cutting I have ever got from it.
In propagating this grass lam aware
of the difficulty us procuring the seed.
This I hiive however, lessened. .by the
plan lately adopted.lt is readily discovered
when the seed is ripe ; at which time a
touch with the finger will detached it
from the ear or head. About eight o’clock
every morning,witha few children,! walk
through the lot, and gather the seed that
is ready to fall. In this way I find no
difficulty in soon obtaining a quantity*
To this mode of gathering I add another
facility for ploughing it, by planting the
seed in a rich bed; the first year taking
up'pulling the plants to pieces, as done
with the shallot, and set out my ground,
i (previously well prepared:) intended to be
} a permanent lot the second year of its
growth. 1 find the plants soon become
strong and luxuriant.
ACKICOLA.
A(JGU S r i A ,
FRID AY, OCTOIS E R IT, 183 4.
Jj- The Public are respectfully informed,
that the Reading Room belonging to this Office,
is free to all Subscribers to the Courier. Its
collection of papers is not inferior to any other,
and furnish the means of information from eve
ry important quarter of the Union.
We find in comparing our Table with the
ieturns as contained in difierent papers, that we
agree with very few of them in the whole list.
Perfect accuracy cannot be obtained till the
official returns are published, when we will cor
rect our table by them.
As we had anticipated, the returns from Cam
den County did not give Collee and Grantland
the amount we knew must have been due to
them. Coffee received there 180, and Grantland
182, which are now added to their aggregates.
THEATRE.
The Point of Honor, for exhibition To-night,
is one of the most interesting Melo-Dramas, we
ever witnessed. Some of the scenes are thril
ling, and from the cast of the piece, we judge it
will lose none of its excitement from deficiency
in that way. For particulars, see Bills.
The Charleston Mercury is again mistaken
in asserting, that the “State Rights” ticket in
Georgia fought as NuUifiers. You can pick up
among the voters but very few who will consent
to bear that name. Os those who sustained that
ticket, not one in 20 nor 50 nor 100 is a nullifier.
The strength of that ticket is made up ofthe old
attachment of the Troup party to their leading
men and if you please, to their old principles—
which very lew of them will admit as identical,
or even similar to Nullification. We could not
call either the local or the congressional ticket,
the Nullification Ticket, without conscious in
justice. We, therefore, gave them any name
they chose to bear, and fought them as accesso
ries—under the old military rule, that those,
who arc not for us, are against us.
We arc indebted to the Hon. R. H. Wilde,
who arrived in the Rail Road Car on 15th
for the latest dates from New York. We have
copied every thing of general interest.
The Milledgeville JtfwrnaZ of the 15th says:
In the Legisature, by our reckoning, the majori
ty will be against us on joint baliot, from seven
ty to eighty.
The Recorder also believes, there will be a
bout the same number.
MEDICAL COLLEGE OF GEORGIA.
The Introductory Lectures, in this Institution,
will be delivered during next week, (commen
cing on Monday) in the Chapel ofthe Academy.
The public are respectfully invited to attend.
OUR STATE LEGISLATURE.
It is gratifying, says the Georgian, to find the
People of Georgia, as we expected, true to the
Union. We have accounts from sixty-one
Counties of the State, which return 197 mem
bers to the Legislature. Os these the Union
cause, has 39 advocates in the Senate, and 86 in
the House. Total in joint ballot, 125. Our op
ponents have 22 Senators, and 50 in the House.
Total, 72. Majority for Union, 53.
In the above calculation, we give our oppo
nents Mr. Davis, of Glynn, whom we believe to
be on our side, but who is claimed by the Nulli
fiers. We also give them Mr. Mims, Senator
from Talbot, who, our correspondents say, was
run by both parties. We have given our cause,
the Senator and the two highest Representa
tives in Jasper, who are Union men. The third
Representative is a State Rights man. There
is a tie in Monroe for the fourth Representa
tive. Our correspondent says, on the second
trial the Union candidate will succeed. Red
ding (Union) received 841 votes, and not 838, as
heretofore stated. Jones (Union) and Gordon
(State Rights) 838, and therefore make the tie.
Os the remaining 29 Counties to be heard from
wc have a right to expect from the result of the
Gubernatorial election last year,
Union members to twenty-cr : State Rights ”
which without the Monroe to be elect
ed, will make 173 Union n to 93 State
Rights. The majority for Lr. ■. -• ; therefore
probably be eighty, in the i.-xt Legislature
which majority the member »' - Monroe will
increase or diminish. The imijority mav possi
bly be increased to one hundred, if the Coun
ties of Appling, Cherokee, Cass, Lowndes and
Paulding, which gave trifling majorities last
year for return this year Union Re
presentatives.
Thus, seen, “ the work goes bravelv
on.” : ' ■
We had hoped for a little respite from dis
putation, and at this moment particularly, when
matters Os more interest than newspaper false
hoods diaim our attention. But our neighbor
the Editor of the Sentinel is so ill-naturedly un
just to the members elect to the next Congress
from Georgia, that we are obliged to record one
dissenting voice at least; to the truth of his re
marks. With the single exceptions of Messrs.
Wilde and Gilmer on your ticket—but we will
not be invidious endiigh to ask what we intended.
For these two gentlemen in particular, we have
always felt and expressed the highest regard,
and we know they will not feel their pride
wounded, but their dignity consulted, in placing
by their side, as equals; Wayne, Schley and
OWens, whose nanics dte copy alphabetically
from the foot of our ticket. We would not
particularize on either ticket—both were form
ed of the 1 best materials of both parties, that poli
cy would designaid for public service, and we
can feel all due respect for our opponents with
out doing the glaring injustice which character
izes the remarks ot the Sentinel, on yesterday.
We will barely say of Gilmer and Wilde, they
would; we believe, have received the nomina
tion ot the Union Party, if our oppdndnts had
not taken the start of us ; but high is we res
pected their character and talents; it was neces
sary, that they should for the moment, be set
' aside, in the determiriation to prostrate the
j mischievous heresy of the day. We want no
■ better Union men than Gilmer and Wilde—
their accidental connection —-not their princi
ples, have brought them under the apparent dis
pleasure of the public.
Now hear, how the Editor of the Sentinel
speaks of the late acts ofthe people, in thwarting
his wishes. We cannot trust, ourselves to make
a single comment, knowing the extreme to
i which such flagrant injustice to our friends
would lead us. We leave his falsehoods to the
1 public indignation.
“Surely we will gain credit for truth,
, when we say, that our chagrin does not
i spring from the defeat of nullification.
We espoused the doctrine, when we
could not number a dozen allies in the
whole State of Georgia; and when we
had only to disclaim itto secure a place in
her Legislative counsels.—We believed
then, as we believe now, that we were
only espousing an old, familiar, republi
can doctrine, which had appeared under
a new name—and after the excitement of
the moment should wear away, and the
alarm of the people should subside, they
would bring their unbiased judgement to
bear upon it, and that they would then
be constrained to adopt it; but we had no
reason to believe that this revolution in
pnblic sentiment would be effected for two
or three years yet to come. No, it is not
because nullification has suffered a defeat
in Georgia, that we are mortified; but
because Georgia, has brought shame and
disgrace upon herself. She has arran
ged herself on the side of that miserable
clan, who rule by fraud and corruption,
the destinies of this great republic—the
fair-famed, and ill-famed, Kitchen Cabinet
—She has given countenance to an act
ofthe President, which Europeans tell us,
their Kings would not dare to do—She
has virtually proclaimed that the States
are the mere Counties of the Union—She
has disavowed the legality of all her for
mer acts of sovereignty—She has made
Troup a traitor, and the settlers upon the
Indian lands, lawless robbers—She has
acted with the fickleness of a child and
the folly of a maniac—Yesterday, her cla
mors for State Rights excited the admira
tion, alarm or derision, of the whole Un
ion: to-day she is decidedly the most ab
ject submissionist in the whole sisterhood
of States—Yesterday she sent her sons
to Milledgeville to reform her Constitu
tion—faithless to their trust, they tried to
mould the Constitution into a party instru
ment : she felt the insult, and indignantly
annulled all they did—To-day she fills
all her offices with these very treacherous
sons; and to make room for them, she
overthrows men who have been shedding
glory on her name for twenty years gone
by—She has depressed the virtuous and
the intelligent; and elevated the profli
gate and the ignorant—Her Congress
men are a nondescript grou ( r all parties
—the favorites ofthe group, aye an old
undisguised federalist, and a user of a
public place, to enrich his private pocket
—Until now, Georgia has never been 1
without one or mor® distinguished in the
national councils—To day, she has not a
man who is above mediocrity; and but a
few who can claim even this distinction i
THE UNION PETE.
On Saturday last in accordance with the ar-:
rangements previously published in the Geor-j
gian, a procession ofthe Union and State Rights
party of Chatham was formed in front of the)
Exchange, preceded by the -Stars andStripes,the I
only flag under which the friends of the Union ■
will ever rally, and marched to the ship Consti
tution, commanded by Capt. Wilson.
The ship was most splendidly decorated with
the Starsand Stripes, the American Eagle, and
all the signal flags.
When the procession reached the vessel, it
was received with a salute of twenty four guns
which was answered with a similar number from
the shore, by guns worked by a party of volun
teer artillerists, under the command of Captain
Setowich, of this city. The party was most no
bly entertained by the Commander ofthe Con
stitution.
Whilst on board, an ODE, written for the
occasion, was read by Robert M. Charlton, Esq.
the author, which follows:
ODE,
Delivered by Roebrt Milledge Charlton, on
board the Ship Constitution, in the Port of
Savannah, to the “Union and State Rights
Association of the County of Chatham,” on
the 11th Oct. 1834. «
What means this gay assemblage here,
These joyous shouts—this cheering sound—
Why do the happy feelings bound,
Unshackled by the grasp of care—
Why come the “imbecile and grey.”
To mingle in these scenes today!
Is it the birthday of our land—
Is it the hour when Freedom’s hand
Tore down the standard of despair,
And rear’d her own bright banner here?
No! that hath past:—-but here, today,
We come a sacred debt to pay;
We come with cheerful hearts to greet
The patriot souls that here we met't—
To speak of dangers hapljj pgstj
To raise pur heartfelt thanks again,
x That still o’er Georgia's hill and plain,
Yet ffoateth proudly to the blast
Our Country’s Fig— as bright and fair;
As wheti dear Freedom placed it here.
We with holy zeal, to sWear,
That '.io rule hand shall ever tear
A sin 6 . • Star that shineth there;
But we the treasure will defend,
While strength shall last —till life shall erid.
What better altar could we rear,
Than that whick.greets our vision here!
What more befitting spot to pay
Qur thanks than where we meet today
The Constitution of the land,
Is still the. rock on which we stdnd,
Bitt yet,with unchanged faith, may we
Rest on, (with conscience pure and free,)
The Constitution oftHfi Sea.
We float not with uncertain tide,
Nor yet on angry billows ride,
No stormy winds are here to force
Our vessel on her devious couise;
But safely moored in our dear home,
Tho’ winds may howl, and billows loani
Still shall theanchorof dm faith
Pidtect ns froth their direst wrath
Our Pilot,—he, Whose hddd ’
Hath sav’d our vessel from the strand
From all Consolidation’s rocks ’
And angry Ndllifying shocks; ’
Oiir Flag—the emblem of our Idud '
Our Crew— the Union’s chosen band
With these we will all power defy
With these we’ll conquer—or we’ll die.
Onr hearts are glad—but yet doth care
Commingle with eur gladness here-
We would that we could stand again
i O’er hill arid mountain—moor and o’lain
Without the curse ofbitter strife P ’
To vex the current of our life; ’
We would that all this could cease
This wasting war be changed to peace,
Then might atfection’s holy band,
Clasp round the chosen of our land-
I he battle is over, over, ove r
I The battle is over—the victory's won.
1 here are tears for the fallen, fallen, fallen
But glory to those who their duty have done!
And now, ere yet we say farewell,
Once more our ardent vows we’ll tell-
swear, that till our life shall end,
Whilst one remains of all our band,
With utmost vigor to defend
Our Flag-OVB UNION,-knd our land’
May HE, to whom all spirits bow,
Record and bless the holy vow.
On leaving the ship, the procession was again
I foi med, and alter giving nine cheers in comply
ment to Capt. Wilson, marched back to the Ex
. change where it was dimissed.

The Cotton Crop of the United States.
The importance of the Cotton crop of the U.
States, is every year becoming better under
stood. Many speculations have been made
as to the probable extent of the product
of the present year. Nor are these specu
lations confined to our own country, for it is un
deniably true, that the subject is one of a.sinuch
interest to the foreign coasumer, as to the do
mestic producer.
It was generally believed, that the crop of
the present year would exceed that of last by
50,000 bags. This opinion was based as much
upon the promising aspect of the crops, as
upon the increased number of acres planted.
But, within the last four weeks, the prospect
ioran abundant crop has been much overcloud
ed.
From Lonisiana and Mississippi, we learn
that the storm ofthe 6th and 7th of September’
has destroyed from one-fourth to one-third of
the crop. The latter estimate is, doubtless, too
high. But it is fair to conclude, that the’ ex
port from New Orleans will be 50,000 bags short
of the export ofthe present year.
From South Alabama, we learn, that an in
sect is destroying whole fields, which promised
in the month of August an abundant yield
From Carolina and Georgia, we learn that
the Chol.r* has spread such a panic among the
cotton and rice planters, that many fields have
been totally abandoned. This will at least ,
greatly retard the early picking, and prevent
the gathering of a full crop. Besidcs/the pro
duct (from other causes) was not calculated at
my time to be greater tU that of last yean .
Upon the whole, it would be fair to estimate
the product ofthe United States as follows
b rom I - misiana, Mississippi, Teunes- ' ’
see, xV A abarna, and Arkansas, 400.000 bags. •
F rom S. Alabama and Florida, 150,000 bags, i
i rom North and South Carolina. b ,
Georgia and Virginia, 550,000 bags. ’
. 1,100,000 bags. 1
fcT th* storm in Louisians! Arid Mississippi ha*
been as destructive as there was reasoa to fear
A few days after it occurred, the export from
New Orleans may be reduced below 350,000
bags, and in that case, the product of the whole
United States would not exceed 1,050,000 bags.
What will be the probable derhind for coii l
sumption in 1835 ?
This question is one of difficult solution- If
there be a continuance of general peade iri Eu
rope, there is reason to believe the consumption
W u i r ® t "® r increase than decline, unless cheek*
ed by high prices.
Great Britain will require from the
United States not less than 700,000 bags!
France and the Cont. of Europe '
cannot do with less than 300,000 bags!
And the consumpt ion of the United
States will be at least 200,000 bags.
Making an aggregate of 1,2(M(000 bags.
This estimate is based upon the presumption
lhat present prices die maintained. If they
should advance, the consumption will fall off ;
they decline the consumption will increase; Bat
admitting then! tc remain stationary, Great Bii
tain must seek 100,000 bags from other cotton
growing countries, to supply her manufactories;
or there must be such an advance in the pricn
of the raw material, as to check consumptioe
mateiifllly. The latter is most likely to be the
case. It is therefore fair to presume that the
value of the export of cotton in the year 1835,
will etceed 55 milions of dollars.
Who would have supposed, at the time Whit
ney’s saw gin was introduced, that the export of
Cotton from the United States would have ever
Exceeded drte-fourth of the amount of our esti
mate. But if the consumption contiiltfes to prd- z
gress with the slime rapidity, or in the same ra
tio, for th* next ten years, that it has done for
the ten last past, the value Os the export in Cot
ton from the United Stales will, in 1845, exceed
100 millions of dollars. Tha.l the consumption
must continue to increase there can be little
doubt, because it furnishes the cheapest fabric
that can be manufactured, and must supply in
a great degree, the place of flax; and be mixed
with wool in the manufacture of winter clothing,
on account of the great reduction in cost. *
Nullification Beaten, in the place of its
nativity in Georgia.
It will be recollected that up to August
1832, both of the political parties in Geor
gia, denounced and reprobated this ini
quitous heresy —previous to that time, the
Troup and Clark parties in our Legisla
ture, had contended long and hard for the
honor of attaching the odium to the Car
olina doctrines, which were to prevent
them from finding a foothold on the soil
of Georgia. But in 1832, John C. Cal
houn (having been disgraced with the Ad
ministration .finding himself out of “the
line of.safe precedents,” and the Presiden
cy eluding his grasp, leagued with a few
of the leaders of both parties, for the pur
pose of making a demonstration in this
State, in favor of the reprobated doctrines:
and which was, if successful to enable
him' and them to rule over a province of
Great Britain, at the expense of the
eminent, the honor and glory of their
country.
And Athens was chosen as the theatr*
of their first missionary labors. At our
commencement in August 1832, that
which had been so lately styled the abom
inable heresy, was preached to the people,
as 'theonly conservative principle of Re
publican Government.’ Athens was se
lected as the point from which was to fad -
at-e and extend throughout the whof«
state, the rays of a newly distov'
ered fire, which was to consume or purify
the political corruptions ofthe land. In.
October, 1834, the centre of the sysiem—
Athens, the solar orb which waste send
forth those healing, purifying, consuming
rays ofnullification, thus gloriously shine*
out.

Noble patriotic Athenians! If lire people

THE ELECTION.
As we anticipated, we have lost the E
lection, but after a close and hard struggle
and with a diminished majority in favor
ofthe adverse party.
The following particulars may prove
interesting to our readers. At the last
general election, in 1832, the NuUifiers
carried their Senator by a majority of 155
—this year their Senator has succeeded,
by a majority of only 122,shewing a Nul*
fication loss of 33 votes. The highest
Nullification vote for Representative, in
1832, was 1448—the highest Union vote
1316—Nullification majority 132. This
year, the highest Nullification vote for
Representative is 1397—the highesj Un
ion vote 1280.—Nullification majority
117, being a loss of 15 votes—the lowest
Candidate on the Nullification Ticket, in
1832, obtained 1418 votes—the bighwt
Union Candidate 1316 votes—Nullifica
tion majority 102—this year, the lowest
Nullification Candidate ha?received, 1336
votes, the highest Union Candidate 128 Q
—Nullification majority but 56 votes.
In 1832. the difference between the highest
and lowest Nullification Candidate was 30
—between the highest and lowest Union
Candidate 25. This year the diflerence be
tween the highest and lowest Nullification
Candidate is 61 —between the highest and
lowest Union Candidate but 30.
