Greene and Pulaski, the corner-stones of which have been lsid by General Lavas' ette. One of those circulars be pleased to retain, in order to aid in the patriotic work, by obtaining as many subscribers as you conveniently can—the others you will have tho politeness to deliver to the Senator and Representatives of your several counties. JOHN STEVENS, Chairman. CrEditors of papera thoughout the State, are requested to insert the above. By the arrival of the ship Mary Cathar ine Pace, at Charleston on Saturday, Li verpool dates are recoived to the 15th ult. The political intelligence is unimport. We have only room for the following notice of the market. „ Liverpool, Feb U.—Since we had this pleasure on the 7th inst. per Perfect, there nasbeen an increased demand for Cotton, particularly on Saturday and this day; U’>- wards ofl 0,000 baleB having been taken in the two days, and prices have advanced Iths to A per lb. One or two small lots of Upland have been taken at 12d. The de mand has been generally,both on the part of the trade, and speculators; and there is ev ery appearance of the advanced priceB be ing maintained. A postscript to a letter of the 14th says. The soles of Cotton to-day are about 9000 bales. Olid the market closes very fine at an advance of^d per lb.” VISIT OF LAFAYETTE We now resume our journal of the testi monials of love towards the distinguished Guest of the Nation. It is an exhibition of gratitude, such as we probably never shall again have the proud satisfaction of recording—ono which our duty to our be loved visitor, as well as to those who have so honorably discharged our portion of the expression of the public feeling, requires us to dwell npon. THE MONUMENTAL PROCESSION. In our last, we brought up the journal of the proceodings in honor of Lafayette, nearly to the time of our publication. We now proceed with those of Monday- Ac cording to the previous arrangements, the Masonic Brethren formed a procession from the Exchange, to wait on Guneral Lafay ette at Ilia quarters, on that day. From this he procession returned ac companied by tile General, in his carriage, with the Governor, and their suites. At about eleven o’clock, the procession form ed on the Bay, and proceeded to the sit,-- - linsen for the monuments to be erected to the memory of Greene and Pulaski.— The proceBiion was escorted by the United States troops, under Lieut. Monroe, who preceded it. The field and staff officers, tin- Lafayette Committee, the Judges of the Superior and Inferior Courts, tho Clergy, the Mayor and Aldermen, the Governor and Suite, and the Monument Committee succeeded. The Masonic Lodges followed, preceded by their Grand Tyler, in his full habiliments, and with his drawn sword.— The High Priest, King, and other officers, were also dressed in the full habits of their offices. They were of the moBt splendid discription. The remainder of the proces sion was formed according to the previous arrangements, and included large detach ments from the Volunteer corps. It pro ceeded through the Hay to Drayton-street, and Johnston’s square, accompanied by the Band. Every building surrounding the Square, the steeple of the Episcopal Church, and the roofs of tho State Bank, and several of Ac houses, were filled with spectators, who also crowded the railing enclosing the square. The ladies appeared to form a majority of the spectators. At the entrance sf Johnston’s square, on the east side, through which the procession passed, was ses and jasmine beneath the feet of tho aged benefactor of their country. Many of these little sylphs were not more than three years of age—and the simplicity, and appropriateness of their dresses—the inno cence of their looks—and the delicate character of the tribute they were paying, were touching, and more than one eye which witnessed it, was moistened. The procession after passing round the square, was halted. General Lafayette, tie Grand Master, the Deputy Grand Mas ter, the Grand Wardens, the Grand Chap lain, the High Priest, the King and Scribe, of Georgia Chapter, the Governor and suite and the Monument Committee, ascended a platform, covered with carpetting, in the eentre of the square, at the verge of the spot prepared for the corner-stone, when the following impressive ceremonies took place The Band played a national air. The Chairman of the Monument Com mittee, on its behalf, then delivered to Gen eral Lafayette, the following address :— FELLOW I.ITJZH.VS, V, tic assembled to place, wi'h appropriate solemnity.the IQUNKR -TON KS of MONUMENTS, which the gratitude of a Free People designs to elevate, iu commemo ration of the fame, the virtues, and the suffer ings, of two distinguished Soldiers of our t,e- vo utinaary straggles To rai-e mqnumenla of renown, to perpet uate the fame, and cherish the memory of listiuguiahed men, has been cnatom&rv iu all ages and all US’,inns, from the humble tumuli of the new, to the lufiy pyramids of ilie an cient world As emblems of gratitude, they mark a pen- neS Justice—but their wisdom is displayed in the strong incentive which they furnish to the achievement of Noble deedi. They les t youth, to meditate on the hottora which they inscribe, ami inspire active emulation, which is the source of Moral dignity and National glory.
