the blockade of the ports in the Baltic, were
K ecte and to aggravate the evils of this over-pro
d«;tion, by paralysing trade, and stopping the
ESeeU of the consumers. In the struggle to cs
[jt c from these impending dangers, merchants
t3j planters began to press their cotton on the
5.1,.,t and to sell at any price that they could
obtain; and as their very eagerness to sell ren
ted the manufacturers only the more indiffer

Hhat prices should have fallen to points of ex
tltma depression. When in this panic of saute
Jm peut, prices had fallen to 5 a for Fair cot
ton in Charleston, and corresponding rates else
where, the planters began to reflect whether it
uii 'ht not be as prudent to hold their cotton as
§Kt with it at prices wholly unremunerative,
wjiii the very first indication of this feeling
prices began to tend upward ; and now when ulj
tht.e evils should be upon us from which W'e
were trying to escape by sacrificing our staple,
fh«re is an absolute scarcity of cotton in the
country, and the price of Fair is B|.
iglp.ct us examine what has become of this crop,
estimated at 2,700,000 bales, and the amount of
tteck which Liverpool, the great Cotton mart, is
likely to be burdened with :
Efcince the first of September last, up to June

Wtlio exports to Great Britain from

BHoes to other ports than Liverpool
B* about 7 percent, which of 322,-
B)00, would be, say 22,000, and
■would leave as the quantity still on
■the way to Liverpool 300,000
Aided to the stock held June 1, 526,000
BppU when present exports received, 826,000
Bl'lie question now arises how much more will
weiscnd them from June 22 to November 17.
The entire stock in our seaports (excluding N.
Yolk) and on shipboard is but 129,000 bales, and
thfre are 20 ships loading for France and the
s^^B"' ne nt against 27 for Great Britain. The
growing crop is three or four weeks later than
usoal, and wc can count only' on a very mode
ra* export of new Cotton previous to the 10th
anlj/th of November next. In our opinion
bales is quite a large estimate for the ex-

B 1 is admitted that circumstances may arise

B veise causes may come into play during the

Showing that there has been taken
for domestic consumption,from Sep
tember 1, 1848, to June 22, 1549,
making forty-two weeks, 466,000
There will Ire wanted in the remain
ing ten weeks, at the same ratio, 115,000
To supply this there is an aggregate
stock of 214,000
bales in the country, while there
are forty-five ships loading in the
Southern ports alone for England
and the continent.
But let us carry the calculation a littie further.
If the crop of last year reach 2,700,000 bales,
which is scarcely probable, there is yet to receive
up to lst September, 60,000 bales ; and of Cot
ton of the new crop, we may receive althe Gulf
ports up to November 10, and Atlantic ports,
November 17, say 150,000 bales, making togeth
er, 210,000 bales, and added to the present stock
of 253,000 bales, would make 463,000
Os this we have given G. Br’n 125,000
France and Continent 40,000-165,000
298,000
The consumption of the U. S.
to 17th Nov’ber, 21 weeks,
at 11,000 per week, % 231,000
Leaving, as the aggregate
stock in all the ports and
inland towns of the United
States on the 17th Novem
ber next, 67,000
bales, against 319,102 bales at the same period
last year, and 263,846 bales in 1847.
If our estimates and calculations are correct,
and there is so small a quantity of the last crop
to be carried over to the next year’s receipts, ad
ded to the strong probability that there will be a
diminished crop the present year, the producers
and consumers of cotton, and all others interest
ed, may be aided by them in making up their
opinions as to its prospective vaiue.
We annex some additional views in reference
to the probable amount of the stock of Cotton at
the close of the present season :
The stock of cotton in all the Southern
P orts 's 129,000
In all the inland towns, accurately as
certained 40,000
In New York g 4 000
Making the entire stock 253,000
If we receive 60,000 hales more of old
cotton, it will be all we shall get up
to the in-coming of the new crop, say
to October 22, 60,000
313,000
There are now 45 vessels loading in
the Southern ports for Great Britain,
France and the Continent. At the
moderate average of 1700 bales each,
they will take 76,000
And 43 loading in New York
for Great Britain an and II avre.
Suppose 20 of them to take
more or less of cotton—ave
raging 800 bales 16,000
Then the stock will be immediately re
duced to * 221,000
Consumption of Unitod States up to
22d October, 4 months, at 45,000 180,000
which would leave 41,000
hales for stocks at New York, Southern ports,
and inland towns, and for exports to foreign coun
tries up to October 22, beyond what will be ta
ken by ships now loading.

RELIGIOUS NEOITATIONS-NO. VII.
THE CHRISTIAN WARFARE.
When our forefathers grew tired of the yoke
of submission, and became discontented under
the heavy burdens laid upon them, they formed
a resolution to be free, and then declared that
determination to the world. Though few in
number—weak in strength, compared w’tli the
power which would be arrayed against them—
and unskilled in the arts of war; yet they felt
that their cause was just, and that death itself
would be far preferable to tame endurance of
slavery and wrong It was a momentous period
in their history : if they succeedod, civil and
religious liberty, all the rights of man, were to
be their portion ; if they failed, an ignominious
death, the punishment of traitors, was to be their
doom. But the step was taken, war declared,
and a handful of ragged militia mustered up to
contend with accomplished soldiers, and milita
ry graduates. Like the Israelites of old, they
felt the weight of oppression, but knew not from
whence deliverance would come. They knew
not the manner in which they would escape the
rule of tyranny, nor the interference of Divine
Justice in their behalf. And through His mer
cy and loving kindness was it that the friends of
equal rights obtained the victory. Just as easi
ly could God have slain Pharoah and all his peo
ple, without subjecting his chosen race to tem
porary doubt and fear, and have smitten the
British soldiers with scourges and plagues, be
fore they lifted the sword against us, yet does
He delight to work through appointed means,
and the most signal manifestations of His power
are made through the apparent instruments of
free agency. So, as Moses led the children of
our spiritual ancestor out from the bondage of
physical oppression, through the Red Sea, into
the wilderness beyond : did Washington bring
our natural ancestors out from mental, moral
and pecuniary slavery, into the hitherto unex
plored xvilderness of self-government. And as
it was not permitted for the first to reach the
land of Canaan, the country flowing with milk
and honey, so the latter did not live to see
his country attain her highest position of influ»
ence and power—thus, at the present day, we
look forward to a political Joshua, to escort us
to the true destiny of our Union.
But I have lived in a land of freedom, and yet
was born a slave—for while I boasted in my lib
erty, I wore the clanking chains of tyranny—
whilst my eye peered round about me, I saw no
one to dispute my equal rights and privileges,
but my vision could not penetrate the thick fog
of error and delusion, hanging over and encir
cling me, in which the enemies of my spirit
were hidden, laughing at my cupidity. But now
the bright Sun of Righteousness has arisen, and
dispelled these clouds from my soul. I have
enlisted for war—a war of extermination, against
Sin and Satan—not for six months, or twelve
months, but for life. It is true, our army is not
large : we are as a unit to a thousand, but cur
great Commander has told us, in His General
Orders, issued to his subordinate officers and
privates, that he will give us such arms and
ammunition that one of us may “chase a thous
and, and two put ten thousand to flight.” We,
therefore, with the utmost confidence in llis
promises, have drawn up a Declarationoflnde
pendence, and declared war against our mortal
enemies. We are raw militia—have never been
accustomed to the exercises of the drill, but we
have a kind Inspector-General, who frankly tells
us when we make an error ; and if we chance to
lose the step, he points to the Captain, and bids
us follow in his foot prints—but our Chief has
placed in all of our hands a Book of Tactics, con
taining a full description of every mode of fight
ing that we have. It tells us what is necessary
for baggage ; what we shall need as supplies of
food and clothing ; where we may get weapons
and ammunition ; describes the number of offi
cers, and their respective duties ; commands
obedience on the part of privates ; points out, at
suitable periods, the different places of contest;
tells us how to act when upon parade ; and re
fers us to our General for further instructions.—
Our Captain is humane and benevolent: he nev
er forces us to march when we arc exhausted
with fatigue, and when any of us fall sick by
the way, he attends upon us in person—for he
is an able, prudent Physician. Moreover, our
General does not seclude himself from us : wc
see Him, not only when we are drawn out in
line for review, in the splendor of His uniform
and in tne exercise of His command; but He
condescends to visit each one of us in our tentsi
administering to our wants and giving us con
stant joy and peace. Our army is composed of
various kinds of soldiers : some arc infantry, and
compose the main body or front, being an un
yielding phalanx; others are riflemen, and they
fight at random, yet with great effect; some are
cavalry, and their sharp swords and prancing
steeds carry death and defeat wherever they go ;
others are artillerists, and slay thousands at a
felow. But our good Cliieftans esteem us all ;
for we arc all very honorable, valiant, servicea
ble warriors, so long as we follow their com
mands, and all of us can fill a postof usefulness.
But, as we are engaged in a war of invasion—
yet one having love and mercy for its object—
we are commanded to take the strongholds of
the enemy ; place the captured treasure into a
common deposite ; and wait with patience until
the war is over, for a distribution of the prizes.
Therefore, while we fight, we have sufficient
pay, and when we cease, we have the full mea
sure of reward.
It often happens that earthly warriors gain a
castle, drive out the occupants, and remain in
it safe and unharmed. But if they fail to post
their sentinels, the enemy will certainly discov
er the omission, make advantageous use of it,
and route the once successful artny. In like
manner may I attain the fortress of safety—the
blessing of Full Assurance—yet, should 1 ven
ture to slumber at my post, Satan creeps in una
wares, and I fall.
My Soul! gird on thy Heavenly armor—pre
pare thyself for unremitted toil, hardship and
suffering ! Thou art but a feeble warrior yet ;
but do thy duty, be diligent to perform thy com
mision ; murmur not that others are promoted
above thee ; nor request a furlough from thy
labor: watch, fight the battles of Religion, and
Heaven will bo thine. ZAO.

Mayor’s Office,
Macon, June 4, 1849.
The general health enjoyed by the citizens of
Macon is, probably, without a parallel in any
community of its size in the Union. To insure
this blessing, a general state of cleanliness du
ring the summer months should he rigorously
enforced. The Aldermen of the city are here
by called upon to report the names of two citi.
zons for each square in the city, whose duty it
shall he to co-operate with the Aldermen and
Board of Health, to examine, at least once a
week, until the 10th of October, all yards and
cellars, and to require the instant removal from
the city of all nuisances and filth calculated to
engender disease. Occupants of houses are
called upon to cause their premises to bo thor.
oughly cleansed and ventilated ; and it is farther
suggested, that the yards and cellars having
been cleansed, should besprinkled with lime or
some other disinfecting agent. Those who are
aware of the existence of nuisances of any kind,
likely to become dangerous to the health of the
city, should lose no time in reporting the same
to the Mayor. Proper vigilance will be exer
cised by the city authorities for the removal of
all such annoyances. A supply of lime and
chloride oflimo will be furnished free of charge,
by the city authorities, to those who are unable
to buy, on application at this office. The fines
imposed by law for neglect in cleansing yards
will in all cases be enforced, when reported to
his office. GEORGE M. LOGAN,

WHILE so much is being said and done by
Gentlemen of a different persuasion, for
the purpose of elevating their profession in the
public estimation; while societies are being
formed all over the country, and resolutions pass
ed declaratory of the superiority of their system,
and denunciatory of all and every other; while
the prejudices of the past are being aroused, and
the fears of the future are being appealed to ;
while legislative aid is being invoked, and ad
verse interference denounced ; while the freedom
of speech and of opinion in professional men,
especially of those of the “sacred profession,”
are endevoured to be curtailed, and their con
duct in givingcontenance to other systems de
nounced as “ painful and mortifying while, in
fine, they are placing their dependence for ele
vating their profession, on societies, resolutions,
denunciations, prejudices, fears, legislation, &c.
&c.; be it the pride, the happiness, and the glory
of the undersigned, to put his trust in that which
is far more substantial— ll the results of his
practice." These are his dependence, and to
them he looks for that “professional” elevation
to which he aspires ; and judging of the future
by the past, he lias ever reason to believe that
he will not be disappointed. Influential bodies
may rail, ridicule, and donounce; legislation
may place its ban and promulgate its anathe
mas ; individuals may scandalize, backbite, and
traduce, but “facts are stubborn tilings:”
“Are cheils that winna ding,
And dar na be disputit”—
One of which at any time, is worth a thousand
arguments. On them he has laid the base, and
oil them he expects to raise the superstructure ;
and in accordance with usage, will still append
more to the list, already before the public.
The following letter is from the Rev. John
W. Mills of the Florida Conference, of ihe M
E. Church South ; who without the fear of the
Faculty before his eyes, dares their rebuke nnd
accusation of guilt of “painful and mortifying”
conduct, and boldly gives his experience to the
world. It is too late in the day for men to
school themselves into the repression of their
convictions:
Quincv, Florida, April lOih, 1848.
Dr. M. S. Thomson — Dear Sir : With inex
pressible gratitude, 1 drop you these lines. Since
1 received your Medicines, and commenced fol
lowing your prescription, my health is so im
proved that I do not now feel the least symptoms
of disease, rnv morbid appetite left me on the
commencement of taking your medicines: every
thing 1 eat now agrees with me, and I am satis
fied with a common meal.
My Splef.n was very much enlarged, and my
kidneys failed to do their office when I last wrote
you, but these are now corrected
The miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, has left me, and I now sleep sweetly ;
indeed my whole system is regular and easy.
So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those
of them who did not know that I was taking
your medicine,) were astonished on meeting
with me at the improvement in my health.
When I eompare my present condition with
iny miserable condition a few months ago, I can
not express the gratitude I feel toward you. I
now enter into conversation with life, as I once
did, and the same zeal that once burned in my
heart for the Church has been kindled afresh,
with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity
and forgetfulness, which disease had engendered,
and I yet hope to live long to preach the un
searchable riches of Christ. 1 have yet some
medicines left, &c. I am, dear sir, yours grate
fully, JOHN W. MILLS.
Persons desirous oftesting the efficacy ofthese
remedies in their own cases, no matter where
they reside, can do so very conveniently by send
ing their age and symptoms in writing as correct
ly as possible, when medicines to suit their va
rious cases will be compounded and sent by mail,
express or private hand. In order that all
may partake of the benefits resulting from the
use of his remedies, his charge for tho treatment
of such cases as do not require his personal atten
tion, will be only Five Dollars a month, which
may bo sent by mail at his risk.
Acute cases, and those requiring personal at
tention, will be charged in accordant c with the
established rates of other city Physicians.
The inconvenience of having little sums scat
tered all over the country has induced him for
the future to have his terms cash, or when that
is varied from, it must be with the express prom
ise of honorable payment at Christmas, without
subjecting him to the trouble and expense of col
lection. Those requiring personal attention
can be accommodated in Macon. All lettors
must be post paid and addressed
