Largest Circulation in tlie City!! 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] in' Kinjwoud, Va. 1 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.

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.

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.

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 123. 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 vertiser. A Girl in a Ray's Dress.
