successful support of those measures so imme

a time when It will be consistent with your
health and pleasure to meet and address thecili-

Improvements which is deemed essential to the
prosperity of the place and of the State at large

receive your early and favorable consideration,
1 beg leave to repeat whail said In my note of
the 23th of February last, on the same subject,
that the skill and sclenee of the Architects and
Mechanics or the city of Savannah are un
questionably competent to the executlori of the
proposed work, In any style or manner that
may be desired.
I have the honor to be, with great respect,
your most ob’t. serv’t.,
THOS. BUTLER KING.
Hon. R. J. Walker, Sec’ry of the Treasory.
It will be seen by these, letters, that Mr. Kino
did not even await the formal application of
the Mechanics of 8avannah, bat immediately
on the receipt of the Republican of the 80th
February, addressed a letter to the Secretary,
containing every thing that coaid be, or ought
to have been said. His first letter was dated
on the last day of February. On the 3d of
April, the remonstrance, signed by a large
number of the citixens, was received, and
Mr. Kino sent that to the Secretary, repea
ting In even stronger terms than before, bis
opinion ol the injustice done to the Mechan
ics or 8avannah, and reiterating his decla
ration “ that the skill and science of the Arch
itects and Mechanics of Savannah, art nnfues-
lionably competent to the execution of the proposed
icork, in any style or manner that may be desired.”
What more coaid even Mr. Kino’s bitterest
opponents ask of him 1 He guarded the Inter
ests of the mechanics more than a month before
their remonstrance was received by him. Will
not the Mechanics of Savannah taka care of
the Interests of their best friend 1
We are pleased to understand that the Me
chanics' Society have passed a vote of thanks to
Mr. Kino for the promptness and energy with
which he sustained their interests. The memo
rial, or remonstrance, was signed by Demo
crats as well as Whigs, and il Mr. Walks
would not listen to tteir request, H Is not likely
that he would yield to any member of Con
gress. We will not say that this whole affair
furnishes another.evidence of Ihe hostility of
this Administration to the mechanic interests of
the countty—but we will say that the opponents
of Mr. Kino must be "hard run" for objections
to him when they are compelled to resort$o
such as those brought forward by the writer in

A 'Battle Field.—For two days a thousand
cannon bad swept it, and three hundred thous
and men had struggled upon it in tbe midst of
their Ore. The grassy plain was trooden into
mire, on which nearly twenty thousand men
mangled; and bleeding, had been strewn.
Many had been carried into the city daring the
Bight, hut some stark and stiff in death—some
restinjpbo their elbows, pale and ghastly, and
calling for help, others writhing in mortal ago.
ny'amid helps pf the slain, still covered the
ground. Others which had been hastily burled
tbeday'bdfore, lay In their half covered graves—
here a leg and there ta arm, sticking out of the
ground, while to crown the horror of (he scene,
multitudes of women were seen roaming about
the.field, not to bind up the wounded bat to
plunder the dead. They went trout heap to
heap of the slain, turning over the mangled
bodies and stripping them of their clothing;
and loaded down with their bootv, gathered it
io piles besides the corpses. Unmolested in
their work they made the shuddering field still

Tea Tariff and Home Consumption.
neglected, a few days since, while publishing
the annual statement of the growth and con
sumption of Cotton in tbe United States, to call
attention to some singular facts, which the ta
bles developed. Oor planters and their factors
are all well aware that the American manufac
turers, almost uniformly give higher prices for
cotton than the foreign purchasers. This re
sults from the lad, that the principal market
for the raw material is distant from the place
ol production, and large stocks accumulate
there, so that if the foreign purchaser cannot
get cot'on at his own price in the shipping
ports, he can fall back upon the supply at Liv
erpool. Hence he never enters our market
when the American purchaser is operating,
and almost always purchases at a sacrifice to
the bolder, whether that holder be a speculator
or planter. This Is the genera) rule, to which
of course there are .occasional exceptions.—
U becomes important then, to every grower
of cotton to increase the demands of the home
market as much as possible. It is suicidal,
therefore, for them to favor a national policy
which makes war upon the American man
ufactures or which tends to reduce the manufac
tured articles beyond a certain point. Who
ever heard of the owner of large herds of cat
tle striving to put down the price of beef, of
leather, or of shoes 1 Equally silly is it in the
grower of cotton to strive to pot down the price
of fabrics to n rate which will destroy his best
customers. In both cases, (be man is making
war opon his own best interests. But to our
tables. The importance of tbe home market
for cotton being admitted, we call attention to
tbe following
STATEMENT,
sewing the quantity of cotton consumed by,
and in tbe hands of the American manukem-
rers for each cotton year from 8ept. 1st, 1838,
to Sept. 1st, 1846, viz;
British tariff law passed by the last Democratic
Congres*—an act, which in the language of
Mr. Haywood, was passed under "the Iron
rate of party, and tbe condemnation of the
soundest and most consistent Democrats In the
country.”
Cool tueuDENCE.—Charles J.lKGESsot.L,who
has again hseo nominated for Congress in bis
District in Pennsylvania, after proclaiming that
he le the candidate ofthe "Cross Roads” pollti-
elans, thus proclaims the protective tariff princi
ples of James K. Polk :
"The sweeping suddenness of the act of Lst
session, with Mr. Haywood and Mr. Niles of
tbe Senate, and other considerate members of
tbe Democratic party—probably more (ban the
votes Indicate—1 thought unjust to those encour
aged by former legislating to risk their all In
manufactures; and furthermore, 1 cannot vote,
in any doubtful matters,against my State, which,
tight or wrong, In such a question, Is my conn-
try. At the approaching session of Congress,
Mr. Polk, the avowed adrocate of that protection of
public laterals, which is the first doty of any Gov
ernment, and without the performance of which
duty Govei.soient would be a mockery—Mr.
Peek. 1 trust, adll give the infinence of his admin-
titration for admendments, If then proved neces
sary to do justice to Pennsylvania, which ills
theiioterest of this whole Union to render.”
As if astonished at the above, an exchange
paper says: "If this were the first time trying it
should not consider the above too Impu*
dent for C. J. Ingersoll. But in view of the
pledges of *44, the Message and Treasury Re
port of *49, and the Tariff of *46, It does strike
us as more brazen than any thing we’ve ever
seen.”

Mr. Kino and the Mechanics.—A writer
in the Democratic Organ of Saturday, finds
great fault with the Hon. Thomas Butler
Kino, because he did not remonstrate against
the appointment of a foreign "mechanic to su
perintend the construction of the new Custom
House" io ibis city. He says "it was his (Mr.
Kino's) business to have represented to Ihe
Secretary of the Treasory tbe fact, that we have
in our city mechanics equal to the erection of
this or any other building," Ac. Now we beg
leave to submit to the writer, and the mechan
lesgenerally, the following letters, which were
written by Mr. Kino to ihe Secretary upon that
subject. The answer Is a triumphant one, and
shows, beyond ihe shadow ol doubt, that Mr.
K. is ihe friend of oar mechanics .not merely in
theory, but also in practice. We thank tbe
writer for having made It necessary to bring
these letters before the public, as they conclu
sively prove that if the mechanics of Savannah
have canee of complaint, it must be against the
Democratic Secretary, and not against their
Whig Representative.

Gentlemen:— I send you by the return of Ihe
Ocean Wave, a sketch of the present aspect of

The Anti-Mormons are encamped twelve
miles from Nauvoo, 1,800 men, and increasing
daily [ 8,000 have already volunteered. Mr.
Breman arrived in Nauvoo from Springfield
with orders from the Governor, to bring Mr,
Parker forthwith beforehis excellency.
For what purpose Is not exactly known.—
Tbe report says, Parker never had any author
ity to quell the disturbance In tbe county as lie
assumed to do. It Is said the Governor in
formed him he must do so If at all upon his own
authority, and if volunteers were rajsed, be
Parker, must do it at his own expense.
The Anties were awaiting the arrival of their
agent Mr. Wagoner, from St. Louis, with the
cannons. As soon as he returns U I* proposed
to storm Ihe Holy city, and plough the ground
where It stands. I hove only time to add, as
the boat is leaving, thni it Is hoped they will

This statement does not include tbe Cottons^
manufactured within the limits ol the Cotton
growing States, which has greatly increased
within the last (ew years. What we wish par
ticularly to call attention to, is this, that in 1(M8
and *29, the year the Tariff was patted, the
home consumption only amounted to 118,000
bales. In two years It had Increased to 189,000
bales. Then came the excitement about nulli
fication, and the adoption of the Compromise
Act soon after following, tbe consumption fluc
tuated, at times increasing slowly, in conse<
qnence or tbe excessive production and then
falling below the original average, in conse
quence of the flood of British manufactures
thrown upon the country. Every one will re
member the depression and rain which marked
the years of 1837 to 1811 inclusive. In 184!
and ’43, the home consumption was only 867,-
000 bales, an increase not at all proportioned to
the increase of production. In '43 the obnox
ious Whig Tariff was passed, and theconsnmp-
tion immediately went up to 335,000 bales, and
not withstanding ibe crop of the subsequent year
was abort about 390,000 bales, the home con
sumption went on, and fu>l845and ’40, with an
other abort crop it had reached 433,000 bales in
tbe States nonh end west of Virginia alone
If to Ibis we add the consumption in the Cot
ton growing States proper, the quantity con
sumed, and in tbe banJs of manufacturers,
will be found a little short of half a million of
bales! But this Is not all—goods are cheaper
now, than they ever have been, and the country
generally, is infinitely more prosperous than for
years. The reason for Ibis is quite obvious.—
Onr laws have protected American instead of
British labor. These 900,000 balesof Colton at
830 per bale, are worth say 815,000,000. When
manufactured, they are worth from five to fifteen
limes tbeir original value. This, of course, in
cludes Ihe amount paid fur freights, brokerage,
commissions, labor, Ac., Ac. Even at the low
est estimate, (five fold) the value of this Cot
ton, when manufactured is 876,000,000. It fol
low* then, that the difference between thc^ raw
and manufactured article. 800,000,000 has gone
gone into the pockets of American farmers, la
borers, ship-owners and merchants, instead of
those of foreign lands—In other words, it lias
been kept at borne, Instead &r being sent abroad,
and has enriched our own people and not those
of out enemy—Id e word, we have been living
under an American Instead of a British tariff'.
Now if the manufacture of 500,000 bales will
save to the country $60,000,000 per annum, it
follows that if we double the quantity t e doable
the profits—that is, if we manofactare one mil
lion bales at home, we save to Ihe people-nf ibis
conntry one hundred and twenty millions of dol
lars—a pretty fair offset to Sir Boat. Walker’s
Latest prom Gen. Kearney’s Expedition.—
Tbe 8t. Lonls Republican of Ihe 8th Inst, has
tbe following news from Gen’l Kearney’s Ar
my, which that paper says is derived from Mr.
Geo. B. Clark, of ihat city, and furnUhed by
him to Ihe Columbia Statesman, from which
paper Ihe Republican copies:
"Mr. Clark lefr Bent’s Fort for home on the
5th Inst. Gen. Ktirney left ihe Fort on the 3d
•ill. for Santa Fe, in advance, we presume, of
Uhe main body of his forces. They remained
five day* at the Fort. The troops had lost about
one hundred horses altogether, but were still in
good spirits and willing to go ahead. The com-
>any or Infantry reached the Fort two days be-
ore the mounted troops: they bad not lost a
man on ibe way, and were in excellent health.
The whole regiment, when he left, were on
half tatiobs, and had hut few days provisions
with them. The wagons taking supplies for
them, were met some eight days behind them,
"Mr. Clark’s party were much troubled by the
Indians, and they had to be constantly on the
alert. One man, It has already been stated,
was shot down In their encampment, and they,
in turn, killod three Indians. More Indians
were on the plains than had been seen for rears,
and they showed every sign of hostility.
"Mr. Ewing, of'Louisville, Kentucky, who
started with a company of emigrants for Call-
fornia this spring, under command of Col Rtts.
sel, is on his return with this party. He went
as far as Fort Laramie, and thence to Bent’s
Fort. Be stated that Col. Russel's party divid
ed, and that he had started across the mountains
with only six men—an enterprise deemed ex
ceedingly rash, as several tribes ol Indians,
through whom he had to pass, were at war with
each other, and was believed Ihat be would
not reach his destination.
"A letter from Mr. John T. Hughes,of Liber
ty gives many incidents of an interesting
character. On the I4th, Mr. Carson,n member
of Capt. C. Jackson's company, was burled at
Pawnee Fork. On the 33rd, they burled Au
gustus LeeMy, of the Coni Compatty of Infant
ry. On the 26ih, it Is said the camps were
thrown into great excitement In consequence of
a certain strict order from Lieut. Col. Ruff—
volunteers mill follow, but they cannot be driven.
On the 26th, it Is remarked, ihe horses are daily
failing.
"The men who have lost their horses have
generally procured either ponies or mules, and
remounted. The whole armv, nearly.
1,600 strong, Is now on Ihe line of march. The
wind blows continnonsly, but the breeze, In
P 8,, [ n g over the parched desert, becomes hot as
the African sirocco.”

Newborn. IN. C.) Sept. 17- Violent GaU at
OcrncoXf.-We experienced a stout breeze here
on Monday 7th lost., which continued all night
and the most ol the next day; the wind blowing
first from N. E.but veered toN. W. Our fears
were much excited for vessels on our unfortu
nate coast; and our latest intelligence confirm
our worst fears. By the kind attention of our
friend, Capt. John S. Hunter, at Portsmouth,
we ace furnished with the following distreeing
particulars. Ol the twenty vessels lying at and
near Ocracoke, eighteen were driven ashore and
one driven out to ^ea. The following were dri
ven ashore:
BrlgWasblngton, Montford, loaded with lum
ber; schr. C. Slovcr, Davis, naval stores, and
Frances, Fulford, naval stores,all of this place,
are on the beach. The following are also a-
shore, hut we are not advised where they belong:
8chrs. Patrick Henry, Smith, lumber; Sophia,
Toller, iron, Ac.; E. Townsend, Smith, salt;
Conquest, Bensley, corn; Defiance, Kline, shin
gles; Paragon, Waylab, wheat; and Lucius,Stu*
ron.corn. Schr. Emetine was driven to sea with
three men on board. 8chrs. David Farrow, E.
Farrow, Paradox, Williams, ludustry, Manu
mit, Nancy and G. C. Merchant, lighthers,
are all ashore. Several lives are said to have
been lost'daring the gale, and fears are express
ed that few If any or the vessels can be got off.
A passenger who came up yesterday in the Ann
Hyman, state* that so far as be could learn,
the schr. Isabella was the only vessel which out
rode the gate.
We are glad to learn that most of the vessels
from this port which went over the bar on Frl-
nay and Saturday before tbe gale, have arrived
safely in New York.
in addition to these dreadful particulars, we
learn that the gale was so violent at Cape Hnt-
teras thn^not more thnn six houses were left
standing.—Newbemian,

Another Awful Fire I—Last night about 8
o'clock our citizens were alarmed by the cry of
fire, which it appears originated In the milline
ry store of Mrs. E. McWilliams, which in a
few minutes was on fire in every -port. This
was a large building, and all the adjacent build
ings being of wood find large were in n few
moments wrapped in flames. So rapid wns the
r rogress of tbe fire that by 2 o’clock this morn-
ng the entire square ol Ihe town with the excep
tion of two buildings, was in ashes.
Tbe fire extended from Bay to Prlncess.st.,
and from 8cr)ven to Ckueen street—leaving Dr.
Prior’s residence and the Library opposite the
Bank alone standing.
About thirty buildings In all were destroyed.

Jayne’s Hair Tonic.
We have heretofore numbered ourselves among
those who believed that the HAIR TONIC pre
pared by Dr. Jayne, was one of the qu;ick nos
trums whose virtoes are never seen beyond 'the
fulsome cuffs of their authors. We are williug, at
length, to make pnbiic acknowledgment of the
ptror of our belief. An intimate friend, some two
or three months since, all the top of whoso crani
um was a« bald as a piece of polished msrbte, m*u<
gre all our jesting and ridicule of the ides of at
tempting to cultivate so barren a spot, purchased e
bottle or two ofthe Hair Tonic from Dr. Jayne,
and, according to his directions, applied it. Durini
the present week the same friend ushered himaelf
into our presence, and uncovering his hitherto
naked head, astonished us with a thin, though Iu*.
uriant growth of hair, from one to two inches in
length—opon tbe very premises we had believed as
unyielding to cultivation as the trackless sand that
skirts the Atlantic. This is no puff, but is religious
ly true, and to those who doubt, the gentleman can
be pointed out. What is more in favor of this
Tonic, the esse here cited was not one of tempo,
rsry baldness—but one of years' standing, though
tbe gentleman is but forty.lire years of sae.—Phil
adelphia Spirit qf the Timts.

California,—It is supposed that the Govern*
ment at Washington has no other Information
respecting the action of our squadron on the
coa:; of California than that which recently
came to the British Minister. The Union ol
Monday night says: "Theevents and prospects
on ihe coast of California are bright nnd cheer,

lime the whole of that coast has been occupied
by our squadron. Monterey le certainly
ken,and Guimas, and it is certain that the Ye. u ..
Buena, on the hay of San Francisco, was sum*
moned by Capt. Montgomery, and it is believed
t0 •>**« beep taken without any resistance.”

ciation of Geologists in New.York, Dr. Jackson
read a teller from Baron Humboldt, in which
the writer sidled that from the similarity of the
gold regions of the United Stales to those of the
Oral mountains, he was convinced there must
be diamonds and nlaiina in the former as well
as in the latter. The chairman concluded by
moving that committees be appointed to inves
tigate the matter, and report the result of their
researches to the next meeting.

CHARLESTON, SEPT. 19.— Cotton—The
.'otlon market since our last tins not only been
quiet, but it has at times exhibited e languid sp-
marance, accompanied with a downward tendency
n pi ices. We stated in our report ofthe 12th inet.,
that certain classifications hsd advanced during the
week an | to £c. per lb., and altered onr quotation*
to corre- pond with this improvement; holders, how
ever, did not long maintain this ascendency. At
the close of tbe last, and on the first dsy of the
present week, there was some little inquiry for the
article, but as dealers were unabled nr rather not
willing to come to terms, nothing was done, but on
Tuesday. holders yielded somewhat, which resulted
in the sale of300 baits; and as the decline became
more general on Wednesday, buyers extended their
operations to near 700 bales. Thursday, Ihe sales
were confined to 278 bates, hut yesterday they
were more extensive reaching 400 bales. The
market within a few days has lost the improve*
ment noticed above; and, in fact but era say that
they have occasionally bought at even a greater re*
duction; there ia, however, much diversity of opin
ion on the subject; and, in the present state of the
mnrket, our quotations must bn regarded as the
nominal vnloo nf Cotton. We have received, up
to this time, ot the new crop, about 260 bags. The
receipts during the week of old and new, are 2,365
bales, and the operations in the same time reach up*
wards of 1.700 hales, st the following prices, vis;—

prime nnrcels, for foreign shipment, which are
scarce, hence the limited transactions. Price* have
undergone no change, and we would re'er to our
