The Stndeul’s entry in the field of Science.
To some who have viewed the ardent youth
when he has first launched upon the ocean of
fame, there must he a peculiar association of
ideas. Hisfront isscanned, and the eye, which
is the index of the soul, is severely scrutinized
by the one who is disposed to pass his judgment
pro or con. Such is the first ordeal which the
youthful aspirant has to pass. We now come
to the candidate himself, who is flushed with
hope. The scene is beautiful—usefulness, pow
er, wisdom and benevolence are portrayed to bis

The Doctrine of Instructions.—This antiqua
ted Virginia notion has just met with a ridicu
lous but yet practical rebuke in Georgia. Me-
Docgaid, (Loco,) the defeated Candidate for
Congress, was most instrumental iu causing Mr.
Senator Berries to be instructed. Crawford
the Whig candidate, is elected over him by four
or five thousand majority.
Now, carrying out the Virginia notion, all the
Locofoco members of Congress elect from that
State ought to resign, with the new U. S. Sen

The doctrine of instructions is thus made as
absurd as it is without sense in a republic,
when applied to the Senators from States. We

length, to represent an unequivocal, undoubted
and emphatic wish of a known majority of bis

We are happy to be able lo say, that Ex
change is our in favor on N. York, Boston, and
indeed with the woild. This is cheering—the
only wholesome indication of the times. It re
sults from the simple fact, that having been pru
dent enough not to run in debt abroad for the
amount of our crop of cotton, the world has had
to run in our debt for its purchase. This is as
it should be, and tells auspiciously for our coun-
trv. Its first and most obvious effect in our
State—lo give but one illustration, which is all
we have time to give at present—will be, that of
the eight or ten millions of dollars ol goods usu
ally bought by the people of Georgia, the ad
vance for exchange ought to be saved. And
what saving is this to the State? Say that 5 per
cent, is a moderate average for many years for
the purchase of Exchange on N. York—this a-
mjiuits on our total purchases to five hundred
thousand dollars. A very neat sum for one
State to save to herself in one item,—(and it is
but one) especially such tunes as these, when
even single thousands are so scarce. We con
gratulate our State and people on the event,
and pray for its perpetual continuance. So
may it be.

The Washington Correspondent of the Jour
nal of Commerce writes—
“There are to be many changes in our repre
sentations at foreign Courts, very soon. Mr.
Todd is to return from Russia aud Mr. Jenifer
from Austria. Several of the Charges are
also to return. I understand that Mr. Wise
will probably go to Austria. No one has yet
been named for Paris; but if Mr. Webster
should not wish to go abroad, and it is stated
that he does not. I would not be surprised if that
important post should be given to Mr. Whea
ton, now minister to Prussia.”
Another Requisition for Latimer.—Governor
Morton of Massachusetts has received a requi
sition Irom the Governor or \ irginia lor the de
livery of Latimer, claimed as a runaway slave
from the latter State, and also with the commis
sion of felonv. It will be recollected that Gov.
Davis refused to comply with the requisition.

Cotton.— Arrived during the week, 7,166 bales Up
land cleared in the time time, 3,645; leaving on
hand and on shipboard not cleared, a stock of 30,918.
The effect of ihe advices from Liverpool it to give
activity io a previously very dull market, and enables
sellers to ubriin readily ihe ir asking prices of last week.
e suppose the sales since the receipt of the accounts,
would show an advance of from $ to ^c. on those
which were made during the four days immediately
previous. The quotations below are nearly the same
as we gave two weeks since, and are carefully revised
to suit the present operations:
Inferior, 4| a 5 I Middling Fair, C a Gj
Ordinary, 5^ a 5-1 | Fair, 6^ a 6$
Middling, 5$ a oj | GoodFair, 7 a 7^
The sales of Upland which amounts to 7,057 bales,
have mostly been made within the last three days, and
are at 4-1 to cents. The market closes firm, though
it is not quite as animated as it was on Wednesday and
Thursday.
Charleston, February 4.
Cotton.—On Monday last favorable advices reach
ed us from the other side, per the Caledonia, at Boston,
bill in consequence of the inclement state of the weath
er, nothing was done; on Tuesday and Wednesday
there was a good demand for the article, prices rallied,
and the rates current in the early part of the previous
week were realized ; within the last two days, howev
er, the market has been depressed, and holders lo bring
out buyers have in some instances submitted to a slight
reduction, particularly on the lower grades; but as the
decline is not general, we continue the quotations
given in our last, hut would remark, that they were
with difficulty maintained yesterday. The receipts of
the week are 3,961 hags, and the sales J 0,651 at 4J

The Condition of Illinois.—The Springfield
correspondent of the St. Louis Republican
writes, under date of the 11th instant:
“ The Secretary of State appeared within the
bar of the House, and read to that body a com
munication from the Governor, urging upon the I
Legislature the immediate necessity of action in i
regard to the finances of the State. He affirm- j
ed that, for the waut of means, it w as with the I
utmost difficulty that necessary supplies could i
be procured lor the two branches of the Legis- I
lature, and when they were, it was at most exor- |
bitant prices. Wood, which he stated could be i
purchased for one dollar and seventy-five cents j
cash, the State now had to pay three dollars and ,
a half for ; candles, which for money could be
procured at thirty-seven cents per pound, now
cost the State one dollar, and other things in 1
the same proportion : nil arising from the fact 2
that there was nothing but auditor’s warrants to
pay them with. He also stated that it was with 1
the utmost difficulty that money enough could
be procured io pay tlm postage on letters addres
sed to the Executive Department, and entreated j
that some action might be had in regard to the j
finances of the State at once."
Is not this a melancholy finale to party mis- ]
rule and misgovernment ?

The union of thought and fancy, of high phil
osophy and exquisite poetry, is pefect in the fol
lowing passage:
Nature’s Lore of Beauty.
Read the great law in Beauty’s cheering reign,
Blent with all ends through matter’s wide domain;
She breathes hope’s language, a d with boundless range
Sublimes all forms, smiles through each subtle change.
And with insensate elements combined
Ordains their constant ministry to mind,
The breeze awoke to waft the feathered seed.
And the cloud fountains with their dew to feed,
Upon its many errands might have flown,
Nor woke one river song or forest moan,
Stirred not the grass, nor the tall gtain have bent
Like shoreless billows tremulously spent;
Frost -could the bosom of the lake have glassed,
Nor paused to paint the woodland u. passed;
The glossy sea-bird and the brooding dove
Might eoylv peck with twinkling eve of love,
Nor catch upon their downey necks the dyes,
So like the mottle hues of summer skies;
Mists in the west could float, nor glory wear,
As if an angel’s robes were streaming there;
The moon might sway the tides, nor yet impart

Proceeds of the Poor Ball.—By the treasurer’s
report, we leant that the proceeds of the ball ,
recently held at Front street Theatre for tiie ;
benefit of the poor, amount to Si,229. The ex- \
penses were S41G 80, which leaves the nett pro
ceeds $812 20—front this is to b" deducted a ,
deficit of $100 07, being the surplus of the ex- i
penses over the proceeds of the hall of Dec.
29th, 1842, leaving to he applied bv the commit- j
lees for the benefit of the poor, $712 13. It is
staled that about thirty counterfeit tickets were
found among those received at the door. We
can bardlv conceive an act of more glaring base
ness titan to become thus a guilty pensioner up
on poverty.—Baltimore Patriot.
Iron.—The Rochester Democrat states that, iron
“ was first made in this country in i715, in Virginia.
In New York, Orange county, a furnace was erected
in 1751, and 1,500 tuns of pig, and 1,000 of bar made
annually. The pieat iron chain, that crossed the
Hudson during the Revolution, each link of which
weighed 140 pounds, was made there. Peter Town
send made ihe first ennn n there in lol6. In the Knit
ted Stales, 1340, there were made 347,400 tons pig
iron ; twenty years ago. Great Britain made only 400,
000 tons; now she makes 1.258,781 tons.
Chance for a Lawsuit.—The following singu
lar advertisement appears in a Lynn, (Mass.)
paper: “Whereas, Mr. Joseph Johnson, Jr.,
of Nahant, contracted with the subscriber to con
vey him to Lvnn and back again to Nahant for
And leagues of sand could har the ocean’s swell,
Nor yield one ehrystal gloom on nearly shell
The very sedge lends music lo the blast,
And the thorn glistens when the storm is past,
Wild flowers nestle in the rocky cleft,
Moss decks the bough of leaf and Jifeberefr,
O’er darkest clouds the moonbeams brightly steal
The rainbow’s herald is the thunder’s peal;
Gay as the weeds that strew the barren shore,
And anthem-like the breaker’s gloomy roar.
As love o’er sorrow spreads her genial wings
The icy round a fallen column clings,
While on the sinking walls, where owlets cry,
The weather stains in tints of beauty lie;
The wasting elements adorn their prey
And throw a pensive charm around decay;
Thus ancient limners hade their canvass glotc,
And grouped sweet cherubs o'er a martyr's too!
This fine passage is from the first part of “ The
Spirit of Poetry.” We marvel that such noble
lines should not before have attracted attention.
Murder.—It isstated in one of the Baltimore
papers that Captain Joseph Owens, whose resi
dence is a few miles from Annapolis, shot his son
on Wednesday morning—the wound causing
death almost immediately. This shocking deed,
it is said, was occasioned by an ill feeling grow
ing out a law suit.
A New Sovereignty.—The Leipsic Gazette
the sum of 25 cents : but having driven into too again repeats the report as prevalent among the
close proximity with a post, whereby the wagon ! Danube countries, that the Emperor of Russia
shafts were severed from the body, thus oblig- ba d chosen the Duke of Leuchtenberg, his son

says the Salem Gazette, “Mr. Hood is feeding
f;:t his grudge,” and “nursing his wrath to keep
it warm.”

which he meditated the foundation. Prussia
and Austria, it was added, had given their con
sent to litis plan, upon the formal condition that
Austria should have Moldavia and Prussia Rus
sian Poland as far as the river Bug ; while Greece
would receive Thessaly to consolidate it bet

of commerce as well as Austria upon the banks
of the Danube.
The City of Shanghae, China.—In the J^on-
don papers it is stated that this city and its depen
dent villages, contain 209-000 weavers of cotton
! cloth. This, it must be remembered, is only
one of the manufacturing towns. The num
ber of silk weavers is inure numerous than those
in cotton.
Hard Times.—The Boston Courier serves up the
character of the times in the following manner:
“ The times are hard, and every thing runs wrong;
Commerce and cash are in a shocken plight;
Stocks are all down, the money market’s light.
The sales, good sir, lire in an ’aw ful fix.’
Tax won't go off; and see how tallow sticks.
Tobacco, too, u very drug has grown,
Turk’s Island suit can hardly hold its own.
Doings in indigo look deadly blue.
I’otush and soap are in a precious stew.
The case is despeiate, for runt and rags,
And ‘pig in poke’ are pork in gur.ny hags.
In hides and leather, you can’t save your skin,
You’ll get a nipper if you trust login,
Don’t think of dibbling now in Russia duck,
And in molasses you’ll gel surely stuck.
The banks won’t discount, in a stingy pet,
And for your soul you can’t collect a debt.
There’s nothing active now butdismal duns,
And no ‘transactions,’ sir, in buttered buns.
‘Tis past all guessing what may next befal —
The dogs and chancery must take us all!”
Augusta, February 4.
Cotton.—The dull state of our cotton trade has
been somewhat dispelled by the accounts received by
die steamer up to the 4tit of January, aud the heavy
transactions in the Liverpool market, and firm price of
the staple, have caused an advance lo be pajd in our
market of at least ^ of a cent per lb. on all qualities.
As the maintenance of the present rales in the Liver
pool market appear to he based upon the supposition
ihat the crop of the United States would not exceed
2.000,000 hales; and as we have every abundant evi
dence that it will probably overgo that calculation, we
have hut little reliance that the present rates in that
market will long he sustained, and our heavy dculers
have not entered the market at the advanced rates.—
Considerable sales have been made since the receipt of
i the accounts to our home speculators, and our sellers
are firm at the advanced rates. We quote 4^ a 7 cts
a3 extremes of the market.
Money—Checks on New York, Charleston and Sa
vannah, can now he had froni our banks at par.—Cen-
i tral Bank notes sell from 27 to 30 per cent discount.
! State six per cent Bonds are held at 48 cents, and
j some few sales have been made at that price—45 and
46 cents is the price generally offered. The bills of the
following Banks are difficult of sale at any rate, as
there is but little confidence in their solidity:—Ihe
Exchange Bank of Brunswick, the Insurance Bank of
Coluuthus, the I’haulix Bank of Columbus, and the

cants os come within the’ terms of the law. It should
be remembered that this act is a benevolent one, de
signed especially for the benefit of those who are de
prived of the inestimable blessings of hearing and of
speech. That parents may feel no reluctance to send
their deaf and dumb children to Hartford, the commis
sioner would state that the arrangements of the Insti
tution are such as to secure the comfort, health and
safety of the pupils as fur us human foresight can do
it. They are supplied with good and sufficient cloth
ing suitable to every season. They are under the care
ofa lady "ho acts as. matron, and whose duty it is to
see to their personal comfort in every respect. When
sick they are well attended, and if necessary receive
the best medical advice in the city. The public may
rely upon the correctness of the above statements.—
They are made to remove the apprehensions that some,
not acquainted with these facts, might feel at sending
theii children to so great a distance—especially chil
dren who on account of their misfortune are objects of
greater tenderness and solicitude.
Persons wishing to apply are requested to address the
commis»ioner at this place, as soon as possible.
