Splendid New Cotton.—We were yesterday
shown wimples of Dome very superior new cotton re'
coivedin Miisciiy, the product of Hancock count/ in
this State. One of (he loti consisted of seven bales,
and is from Hie plantation of Mr. J. B. Gondir. The
quality is Good full', and the lot waa sold yesterday
tor 13) cents.
The other lot consisted of eight bales, und is front
‘the plantation of Mr. T. J, Smith, also ol Hancock
county, and was sold for 14 cents. It was n choice
quality—no better cotton lias ever been received in
this market.
This cottou was consigned to Messrs. Rabun &
Fulton, and by them sold. Hancock county lias
long had tho reputation ot turniahiug our market with
very superior cotton, and her planters tuko great
pride in properly preparing it tor side.
The following Is nn extract of a letter received in
this city, written from one of tho sea islands, dated
17th instant:
“The rust has oat otf our cotton crop fully one-
tldrd, if not a half, und 1 hear ot it on ull the neigh
boring Islands, and of its being on laud that at no
time previously bus ever shown it.”
Tbue Southekn Doctiiine. In another column
ot our paper tu-duy will be found an article widen
we copy troin tho Augusta Constitutionalist, and
which wo commend to me thoughltul consideration
ot our rcuders ot ull parties. Tun editor speaks tlie
sentiments ot u true lrieud of tho South, wuo is wil
ling lu suerihce party for the suku ol the rights und
Intelests ol hisscctiun. He is light when lie says we
have gamed nothing hy the ascendency of either ol
tire grout nationul parties, uud ho is right too
when he says thut the Foutli lias nothing to ex
pect from Democratic or Whig rule at Washing
ton.
The issues which formerly divided us no longer
exist, and even if they did, they should not be allowed
to prevent us from uniting in tlie common cause ol
the South. The question wuich now demands our uc-
tiuu is liotu mere political question.it is a social ques
tion, a property quesuiou, a question whielr involves
our existence us u people. Union,then,is of the utmost
importance. Whatever is to be tlie course ot tlie duutb,
let us be united— let us uct in concert and harmony.
Let us drop all old divisions und avoid all new ones,
and let us tuke couuscl witli each other us men, having
u common interest and a common responsibility. Lei
no party cluim tube tho peculiar exponents und sup
porters of Southern rights and interests, uud let none
be denounced us Inimical to tlioso interests. It is
thus that, ns a people, wo will bu enabled to take a
proper, tenable ground in defence of our constitu
tional rights, and successfully to resist tho aggres
sions of our enemies. Without union union ' our
selves ail our elforts in vindication of our rights will,
provs abortive. On the oilier hand, let harmony
unanimity and confidence be established, and we will
have nothing to,fear, from those who ure seeking to
oppress anil degrade us.
Kossuth’s Letthh to Cass. A St. Louis Ger
man paper throws some doubt upon tho authenti
city of the letter alleged to have been written by
Kossuth to Gen. Cass, and published in tlie Wash
ington Union, in os much ns Hie Hungarian patriot at
the date assigned, had not reached Kutaliia, from
which place it whs professedly written i or if there,
could not have found time as yet to write such a
letter. The journalist puts it in tlie same category
with Kossuth's forged forewell address.
Maine Election.—The Democrats have elected
their Governor, and a majority in both branches ol
the Legislature. Both the Whig and Democratic vote
is conaideratily increased from last year; the Free
Soli vote is diminished 538 in 130 towns, comprising
perhaps one-third of the State. Tho Congressional
delegation will probably comprise two Whigs and
five Democrats, as in tbe present Congress, the 7th
district being stilHn doubt, though it Is thought Ful
ler, Democrat, is chosen over Pike, Whig. The re
sult hangs on the French vote in Madawnska.
Smith O'Bhikn. Tho Hobart Town Britannia, oy
tire 14th ol March, says :—“ >» e regret exceedingly
to learn from on authentic source, that Mr. O'Brien
is auiforing severely, both mentally and personally
from his bouishment to Maria Island.”
tsr Com Ar Catssiiy Jones gives a very cn.
couraging view of tbe resources of Culilornin. lie
has published ja letter, pronouncing certain state
ments in n New York morning paper, touching oper
ations in California, as false and libellous und bus de
manded the name of the author.
The Turkish Lion in New York. The Turk-
ish.AmbnssHdor seems to attrnek great attention in
New York, and to bo highly delighted with the novel
ties of the great American metropolis. On Monday
at 12 o’clock he held a grandWeption at the Govern
or’s Room, When the ladies had a chance of seeing
a live Turk, in whom their interest, (so tlie papers
say) was not a little increased by tlie fact that lie is
a bachelor. On Saturday ho visited the ship yards on
tlie East river for the purpose of seeing two launch
es. As one of die vessels glided gracefully into the
water,' Amin Bey raid, in tho Turkish language:
“ flood luck to her." He was greatly struck with
tho cheering and noise at the launch, as in Turkey
luunches are conducted in solemn silence, a priest
sacrificing a sheep and ottering a prayer for the pros
perity of the vessel to which the people say “Amen.”
The Express sayu he then visited tho ship yard
at the foot of Houston street, where he went aboard
the Mctamorae, which was also launched. Ho enquir
ed as to the steamships that were built or being built
and particularly as to two of Mr. E. K. Collins’line
of steamers, the Baltic and the Arctic. He examined
the Metamoras minutely, and then went on board
the Palmetto, and examined her. One of the river
boats was passing about this time, and he expressed
his astonishment at her great speed. Ho was to vis-
it the Broadway and Bowery theatres on Monday
and Tuesday night, he was to proceed to Washing
ton city.
Gen. Houston Recovered. A telegraphic
despatch slates that Gen. Houston appeared'in his
seat in the Senate on Monday morning, having re
covered from his recent indisposition.
Northern Vote on the Fuoitivb Bill. A
Washington letter writer ssys : The Fugitive Slave
hill, which passed by the vole of 109 to 75, Is destin
ed to stir up n lively agitation In the North, and is u
measure which wl) I be nuts for the abolitionists.
The Northern Whigs, however, have kept clear of
the responsibility. Of tbe one hundred and nine votes
for tlie bill, wo find there are—
-Front the South go
From the North 29
—and of these twenty-nine, we hnve twenty-seven
democrats—five from Indiana, tour from the State
ol Maine, five trom Illinois, one from Michigan, five
from Pennsylvania, t wo from Ohio, nnd one each from
New Hampshire, New York, New Jersey, Michigan,
Iowa ami Culilornin.
Tho only Northern Whigs who voted for the mea
sure were Mr. McGaughey of Indiana, und Mr. Tny-
lor, ot Ohio; both these gentlemen live near tho bor
ders of Kentucky, whefe tlie running away of fugi
tive slaves is felt to be an evil.
Now says tho writer, what is to lie the result 1—
This fugitive slave law is to bo repealed. It affords
too good a piece of capital for tho abolitionists to let
pass. Ma iy of theNortiieru whigs intend to go home
und raise the cry of repeal; and if the whig organs
attempt to defend it, as an administration measure
the democrats will make it a lever with which to
turn topsy-turvy the whig party ot the North.
The First Ticket. Genin the lint man has im
mortalised himself by paying 8225 for the first tick
et sold for Jenny Lind's first concert. It is said
thnt but for tlie merest accident in the world the lucky
purchaser would have been obliged to go a good deal
higher for til prize. Pbalon, the “Hair Jnvigorntor"
muu, entered tile Garden just us the ticket was struck
otf at $225. He laid come prepared to bid up to
$1000, and actually uttered the agent of Genin $300
tor it. The actual purchaser looks upon it as toe
most reasonably laid out advertising mun-iy he ever
disbursed, and the disappointed expectant thinks
fortune treated him very harshly, in depriving him
of the chance ot laving down his cool thousand for
tlie First Ticket to the First Concert of the First sing
er in the world.
If tho hair man was a chap of any genius he might
make himself equally rediculous in some other wuy,
uud ut a much less cost.
Hon. T. Butler King, in the Washington Re
public, has a strong letter in favor of the African line
of stcuiners.
£*35^ Col. Fremont’s Gold Placer Bill, introduced
into the Senate, grants permits at the rate of one dol
lar a month, for thirty feet square for each man, and
two hundred nnd ten feet square at $50 a month, to
work the quartz rock by muchinety.
Present to Jenny Lind. A citizen of Boston
ha- presented n religious work to Jenny Lind, as a
token ol his admiration of her character und tulciits;
bound in tho most magnificent style.
IIP The New York Democrats have, according
to all appearance, united. John Van Buren was ad
mitted into the State convention at Syracuse, and
three Barnburners nnd two Hunkers have been nomi
nated for the offices to be filled at the next election
In Tammany llali, on Friday evening, however, the
Hunkers were particularly severe on the Free Seil
ers, and fairly roasted them alive.
The Steam Contest~Eetween England and
America.—The New York correspondent of the
Pliilad lphia Inquirer, writing on Saturday, makes
the following importmitannouncemeM:
“Some time since it was made puptte thnt the
Canard company wore about to construct a line or
propellers, like the City ot Glasgow, for the purpose
ot carrying freight and second-class passengers.—
'flic announcement created much talk in our marine
circles, nnd alarmed our packet ship owners, who
saw in the mpvement the downfall of their lines.
They accordingly consulted together, ami deter
mined to commence immediately a similar line of
propellers, and steal a march nn the Cunarders.—
Their keels will he laid in a few days. John Bull
can't injure us much, nnd before he is dime he will
find that it is no easy matter to compete with the
energy of our citizens. The keel of ,n new packet
ship was laid a few days since, but the contract has
been changed, and she will be made a propeller. In
five years from this time, the irreater part of the
carrying trade between the Old World and the New
will bo done hy steamships of different kinds.”
Jenny Lind in New York.
The Erprcss says the excitement still keeps up
to the highest point of tension. Every body is try
ing to whistle tile allegro movement in the “Casta
Diva," or to call cows in Swedish.—Jenny Lind’s'
portraits,of all sizes and shapes,some looking like,but
more quite unlike her or any body else, Jenny Lind
boots, bonnets, riding hats and habits, Jenny Lind's
daguerreotype, Jenny Lind’s everything to wear,
eat, drink anil smell of, are all the go, and the papers
teem with advertisements of them. All tho music
sellers in the city are tilling whole columns with
“lending and proving” their preemptive right to
every thing Jenny Lind ever did sing, or ever will
sing; and “John Timon” entitles his last number
The “Jenny Lind Lorgnette.”
The Turkish Ambassador and bis suit iu oriental
costume, with neat Fez caps on their heads, nnd
sashes around the waist were present at tho Friday
evening Concert, and attracted a great deal of ut
tcntioti.
The American Musical Fund Socioty have hold a
speeiul meeting, nnd passed a series of complimen
tary resolutions hy one of which Jeeny is made an
honorary life member of the nscouation.
"The Christian Register, of Boston, in a well writ
ten article upon the reception of Jenny Lind iu
New York, takes occasion to tell tho following anec
dote, which a friend of the writer related ns probably
furnishing to her own heart the most overwhelmin''
triumph of her professional career.
“On the evening of tho jubilee of the king’s birth
day,at Berlin.nbout two years ago, she was singing m
the opera of Der Freysohutz. Every circumstance
attending tho performance was adapted to create tlie
most inti use excitement. The assembly was bril
liant in tbe highest degree—comprising tbe king him
self, the nobility, and a host of artists and professors,
as weil os representatives of every class of iho peo
ple. lu two or three arias tho i’rimn Donna sunn-
absolutely alone, unsupported by a single inetru-
rnent in tbe orchestra. The interest of the entire
audience was beyond ull description. And vet at
tlie conclusion of her most celestial strain, long after
the last nc.'e had brought its dying echo from the lof
ty arches of the theatre, a silence, undisturbed by a
whisper,or change of position or an averted eye, pos
sessed every corner of tlie house.’’
Precisely the same thing says tho N. F. Courier oc
curs hern nightly, at the close of tbe famous Herds
man’s .Song, it is, indeed, a most touching nnd true
way of muuifeettog a sense of full appreciation of
this wondrous artist’s power.
Vi asHincton Monument. Elishn Whittlesey pro
nounces tbe statement of Professor Jolmsotv as to the
dcetructiibility ot the stone of the Washington monu
ment as “ false and infamous.” He adds :
“Every test nn.i examination gives additional evi
dence oflbe superiority of this marble Jbrjtho purpose
of an enduring monument. It is a proper material in
every way to build tlie whole structure of, in place
of heingused lor facing of tlie main edifice; fourteen
ieetof the thickness ol which is built of gneiss rock,
tbe firmest iu tbe world.’’
The Cumberland (Md.) Murder. Tbe Cumb r.
jSDd Allegniiian mentions u report that Thomas Me
Lauglilin, the supposed murderer of his wife, who*,,
body was found buried near the 20th section of th„
Baltimore it Ohio Railroad, about 20 miles west of
Cumberland, has been arrested nnd cotnmittej to jut]

Somnambulism on the Sound— An interesting enr-e
of somnambulism occurred on board tlie steamef.Coiii-
uiodorr, on Tuesday night, during her passage' fr-m
Ntouiugtnn to New York. The subject v as a female,
who, to tbe astonishment of tlie steerage passengers
left her berth iu tim ladies' cabin, and proceeded to
pace tbe deck. $hc was attired in her sleeping hub-
tliments, and being tall and thin, presented one ol tlie
most ghostly sights ever seen iler appearance u-
niong llie “second class” passengers, who were piled
up in ad sorts of ways upon tbe boxes und bales of
merchandize, created great excitement.
Tho “boot black,” who was sitting near the door
of tbe engine house, os she approached, was fright
ened to such n degree, that he would have jumped
overboard, but that a fireman caught him in ms
arms. Indeed [be aiunn Riming the negroes was very
general, and they scooted before her like sheep. The
somnambulist's sic, ping career was shortened ab
ruptly in consequence of her stumbling over a box,
when the awuko from her dream and again returned
to her berth. She was a woman of about 35 or 43
yeais.—Boston Courier.
NEWS SA TIJ RDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1850.
From the Augusta Constitutionalist.
National PnrtieN.
The Washington Union tnukrs the following com
ments upon the result ot the recent elections in Mis
souri, iu which tlie democrats lost then long estab
lished asc ndency by reason of their division between
Bentonites und ariti-Beutonitng :
“Thus it would appear that Missouri, sends four
whigs to the next Congress, and Olio Benton man in
the person of Mr. Phelps. Such is the effect ot dis
cord in the democratic party, and such will probably
be the effect iu Home ot tlie tiouthern States, where
our party may be decided in asiinilur manner, or nre
not sufficiently organized for cum petition with the
whig party, unless more forbearance, und moderation,
and discretion should be infused into its ranks. Mere
purblind extremists, who are crying out for a dissolu
tion ot tlie two greut national parties, in order to con
centrate their whole lorco upon tlie slavery question,
nre preparing fora startling defeat of our purty.—
They are its worst and most suspicious enemies. If
this sectional cry lie kept up, some of tlie democrats
rnuy prepare to lose their districts. \Vq throw out
the suggestion for the benefit of tho parties concern
ed."
VVc do not expret “ some of the Southern States”
will distress themselves very much in future with
the question as to the relative chunee ol tc/iiggmj
or democracy in its party sense to carry this or thut
Congressional Dietrct iu future. Looking to the re
cent uetion oi Congress it would puzzle a Southern
man to tell what beiietit he South has obtained irqui
either purty organization—from the whig or demo
cratic.
The democratic party 1ms a majority in each branch
of Congress ut tins lime, Wuat beflbfit lias the
fciouth derived from this fact. Let the late outrages
perpetrated upon the South in the passuge of Clay’s
Uinuihus bills answer.
Yet, who will assert that if the Whig party had
hud a majority iu each branch, the result would have
been any better lor the South* We do not believe
there is uu intelligent wnig in the South that will
suy it.
This cry uf party, party, party, has bamboozled the
youth long enough. The democrats ot the 2South
have believed, and honestly to until recently, thut the
l ights and honor of tlie South would be salt; in tlie
hands ol tlie great national democratic party. The
Wings of tlie fcuurh.lio doubt,* witu equal honesty,
have, until lately, believed tney would be safe in tlie
bunds ot the liulioinil wing party. Too recent action
ol Cougress awukens them all to a sense of their
common delusion.
As to ottior letucs, not sectional—not connected
witn the great-lavery question, the Southern whigs
und democrats ure not veiy wide apart. There is
no r.idical antagonism of opinion to divide them on
nutioitalpolitics. On the old issue of Bunks uud Pro-
tectivo J’cintfs, the people of the South ure not
wide up i t. The politicians, party leaders, much di
vided, have tiled to widen me breactl all they
could, but in Vain. Tile people ol’ the South have al
ways been opposed to botu National Banks and Pro*
teccivc Tariffs. They are esccntiuily State Rights peo
ple, and consequently opposed to uil latitudinal lull
constructions of the Constitution. They hold cor
rect democratic doctrine on ail tno old purty issues.
They cannot be invoked to divide and distract und
paralyze cue South again. Tnere is but one great
issue now for the South, it is Resistance or Sub
mission to Anti-slavery.
Tne great cause of Southern Rights is to be up
held at all hazards, no matter whether democrats or
whigs loose seats in Congress thereby. In compar
ison witli the great cause, the triumphs of nationul
democratic, or national whig parties, sink into con
tempt.
No catch ’em no have ’em.—Mr. Giddings of
Ohio, we see it stared, has drawn his pay up to tlie
end of the session, (two weeks abend.) nnd taken bis
mileage find gone home to stump for re-election;
asking for no leave of absence, but taking French
leave, and leaving behind him, conscientious anti-
slavery man as he is, tlm bill for the abolition of slave
trade in the District of Columbia, to its fate. At the
time of Ida Heaira. it is said, there were some anx
ious inquiries making for him by certain political ofu-
cials.
A Washington letter writer gives the iollowing ver‘
cion r.t tho matter:—Giddingp. it seems, in a nolo ap‘
pended to n speech, accu-ed Edward Curtis and Hi'
ram Ketchum of th ing here, as lobby members, to
buy over members oi Congress with Ft xuh Bonds to
vote for tbe Texas Boundury Bill. .Mr. Curtis back
ed him out by note.
Mi. Ketchum enme on, to lodge n complaint of libel
against him, and on Friday, he got out a warrant to
arrest him, and to hold him to hail. Bill lo, and be
hold, when the constable went after Joshua, Jffchua
had tied! Therewubiio Joshua to he founi! Joshua
had gone home to Ohio to retail his libels there, and
hy them to wire and work into Congress again. The
Constable returns—Joshua n on cut inventus ! Joshua
A Chinese Funeral A Chinese funeral took
place an San Francisco, which waa attended hy about
150 Chincsemen, in procession. The ceremonies at
the grave, which were witnessed by a large number
of Americans, were as follows :
They lowered the coflin as we do They then
threw tho white* bandages worn on their arms into
the grave ; tln n matches und tho wax candles, and
a bottle ot wine. Before covering tlie coffin, each
person bowed his head to the earth and uttered some
lew words not hy us understood. Then each
threw a handful of dirt on the cotfin, und passed
round liquors, wind' nnd cigars, &c., of which they
| invited each American td partake, and the grave was
j then tilled up.
Great, Land Gorge.—YVe have further accounts of
the destructiveness of the lute storm in the vicinity
j of new Brunswick and Nova Scotia. The St.John
j papers state that during the storm on Suuday night
week, on the island of Pictou, not less than fourteen
miles of the surface of the coul mines fell in. Fortu

A New Watch. A great improvement in the
manufacture ot watches has just been made in Ge
neva, by which watch keys ure rendered unnecessa
ry. By simply turning a screw in the handle, the
watch is wound up, and another movement regulates
the hands.
Restoration to Life. Westfield. Chataque Co
N. Y. has been suffering much lately by, a species of dys
entery, which has proved fatal in a great many cases.
But an instance of recovering is related, which per
plexes the physicians not a little as to the peculiar
ities of the disease:
“A young lady of very respectable standing and
family, was taken sick with toe dysentery on Tues
day last. S'he died on Saturday uttemoon, and her
parents and friends prepared her remains for burial.
On .Sunday evening while watches were in atten
dance upon the body, she came to life und was able
to speak. There is now hope of her recovery. This
curious luct has produced quite an excitement in the
town.
Congressional Proceedings.
In the Senate on Monday, the District Slave Bill
was passed by a vote of 32 ayes to 19 nays. Senate,.
Pratt introduced his bill, making the stealing of
slaves from the District of Columbia a Penitentiary
offence. The general bounty land bill was taken up,
and an amendment including the officers and seamen
of the navy, adopted hy a vote of 29 yeas to 21 nays
reeding day tnereufter until disposed oh
Mr Hull, of Mo., under u suspension of the rules,
introduced a bill in relation to tbe pay of Virginia
claims. The bill provides that the proper dipurt-
ment shall not in any case allow commutation and
commutation and interest, in lieu of Half pay to
such claimants us was provided for under tlie 3d
section of tlie act of 1832.
This bill, which is intended to prevent the recur
rence of tne payment of such claims as tile Barron
claims, which was paid by Mr. Ewing with com
pound interest.
Thu hill was passed under the opei utiou of the
previous question?
Mr. Bayly. from the committee on ways and means,
reported a hill creating the officer of Assistant Secre
tary of State, and for other purposes, which he mov.
eu to refer to the committee of the whole on the state
ot the union. Sonieoppotilicu was made to the bill
which was finally ordered to be printed.
Mr. Bowlin reported back from the committee on
public lands, tha Senate bill giving to the States in
which they lie, the swamp lauds, on the condition
thut they reclaim the same
Mr. Bowlin advocated the immediate passage of
the bill, ntnl moved the previous question,
Mr. Vinton moved to lay tbe bill on the table. This
motion was decided in the negative—yeus 50 nays

The previous question was then recorded nnd the
main question ordered.
The House then adjourned.
Died of Avarice. Upon the body of Mr. Rogers
Northey, who died in the poor-house at Bath, Me.,
last week, were found $3,000 in gold, with which he
had recently returned from California. He was 7-1
years old, and his death was caused in partbyserv-
in.< a writ upon him to recover a forfeited surety
bond which he had given before lie went to tlie gold
region. The writ threw him into convulsions.
Curious Custom.—In the Canton of Basle, in Swita
crlund, there is a law whiclt cumpells every ittwly
married cuuple to plant six trees immediately alter
the ceremony and two more on the birth of every
child. They ure planted oil commons, frequently near
the high road, uud the greater part ut them being fruit
trees, ure at once both useful ami ornamental. The
number planted is said to amount to ten thousand
annually.
This beautiful custom is in strongcontrast with the
prevalent corresponding one in some parts of our
own country. Here the young married pair, on a
similar occasion, plant a pig-sty iu tlie public high
way, generally in the vicinity of the frontdoor, if
any maple, oak or ohesnut happens to grow near
tlie premises where he has pitched his tent, he peels
the bark off,burns itstanding, und after torturing it to
the utmost of his ingenuity, finally cuts it down, nnd
tears the roots up to make a fence with. All ho ever
dreams of putting iu its steud is u liberty pole or
hickory stick.
A better taste, however, is coming in with new
flowers and grasses. It is beginning to be discovered-,
that an elm, u pear-tree, ora rose-bush does not cust
any thing, and that they will grow, while we are n-
sleep or rick—yes, alter we arc dead. Ifissomething
tor a man to be aide to say, that he has done any act
whatever to benefit or beautify the world. If he has
done no more, it would give him pleasure in his lust
sickness to look with his dull eyo upon some tree
which lie had planted while in health.—Newark Ad
