Rick.—Wo published some time ago a correspon
dence between tho Agricultural Society of South Caro
lina and the Navy Department, in relation to tho more
general introduction of rice os an article of food in the
Uftvy, in which tho Commissioners state that such is the
prcjudico of the seamen against this wholesome escu
lent, that the introduction of tiny further quantity in their
t ied would be likely to render the service unpopular. It
would be useless labor, w e are awarc,to<ir£t/r against the
prejudice existing among these men, that it is in
jurious to their eve-sight—experience uluno will do a-
way with this belief, and that experience can only
ho attained by its use. Hut the manner in which Rice
is used inilioNavy, is itself calculated to prejudice sea
men against it. It is now served out on ban-yan days a-
pine, and is given with Molasses. No ono of those c*
ven who arc accustomed to the use of rice, would pre
fer it in this way at all times—on the contrary it is al
ways used n ith us in place of potatoes or other vegeta
bles, with animal food, in which mode it is most palata
ble, and w preferred to any other vegetable, by every
one who becomes habituated to it. At sea, from its
feshness, it is peculiarly palatable with sail provisions ;
and if prepared in the mode pursued in the .South,
will requiro much less water Ihun by that UKiiully
pursued elsewhere, hy which another objection will he
surmounted—certainlyil will not requiro moro water
than beans or many article*, now in use ill the Navy.—
If served out in this way at the first, »ay for two or three
Times a week, wo arc confident it will become popu
lar among the men, and judging from our own taste, we
have no doubt they will ho inducod to prize it above any

never received. We would request from tlm I'ostmas-

TO THeTpUBMO.
I was informed last evening hy a friend, that there
was ani editorial remnrlt in the Savannah Republican,
under date ol the 3d November, inst which cast some
severe reflections on me, as Post Master of this place.
I did uot see the remark until too lute to make answer by
last Saturday’s mail. Annexed is a certificate of some
of the old and respectable subscribers to papers, which
arc rimmed at tins office, among which is Robert Staf-
ford, hsq. tho “old subscriber from Cumberland Island"
alluded to in the remark of the Editor ofthe Republican,
under date of the 3d nisi. I bolievo Mr. Stafford to he
the only subscriber to tho Republican on Cumberland
Island, and he has not yet intimated to mo that the fault
ol his nut rccwving his papers regularly originated at this
offico. All the netrapnners for Cumberland Island are
taken out hy a single individual, who, no doubt, uses
every precaution in forwarding them. Yet it is easy to
iiiiagiuo, that when thirty or forty papers urc mixed to
gether, immo with the subscriber's mime endorsed and
www wtthput any direction, (which is the case with two
out of three oftho Republicans,) should bn misplaced
mn after they were taken from ilm Post Office. I do
know ilmt all thu papers thut cornu directed to this office,
are delivered to the persons to whom they are directed,
or their ngt nts. ’
Tho Editor of dm Republican can rest assured, that
the integrity or his packages will, (a* they over have
been) be preserved.

It thus appears that,-after’pfliyiltg all debts
as well those now due'on the new business,
as the sum received from tho Collection of
the old debts, the amount'of 81,263 31| will
be left as profit on llio 80th Sept, lust, for tho
nino-months ending on that day even imspito
of all tho disadvantages under wliich tho in
stitution has been going on for that time.
GENERAL REMARKS.
The Inspectors will not attempt to disguise
the pleasure it gives them, to be able to an
nounce to tho friends oftho system, that thoy
have not found it necessary to call for any
purt oftho appropriation made by tho last
Legislature for the use of tho Penitentiary.
They have not found it nocessary in the
nine months that have passed, and they have
always been confident tlnit if they could con
duct it on its own resources to the end oftho
third quarter, there would be no difficulty
about getting through tho last quarter.
Even under its.present very defective orga
nization, they aro inclined to bolievo that,
with patience and unceasing attention, thoy
could make the- institution sustain itself.—
But were tho improvements which have been
made at Auburn, Sing Sing and Hartford, in
troduced here, there would bo no doubt about
the result.
It is proper to remark that tho salary of the
Physician has boon continued at §1500.. The
subject was brought before the Legislature
last year, and a clause was, by the House of
RnprocohtttUves, attached to the bill to
change the inode of appointing tho officers of
the institution, fixing his salary at 8300; bv
the Sennte this clause was rejected; the bill
was returned to the House, and passed by it
as amended by tho Scnntc. These circum
stances, the Inspectors conceived, furnished
a clear indication of the intention of tho
Legislature to permit the salary to remain at
what it was the last year, that’is 8500.
The Inspectors have nothing more to add,
except to repeat that, in their behalf, tho in
stitution 1ms suffered to a large amount, du
ring the year, for the want of well seasoned
timber. Tho Inspectors have, for the rea
sons stated in their second report, patiently
submitted to these inconveniences, feeling
well assured however, that under different
circumstances in this regard, they would have
hoen able to show on their balance sheet, a
much larger profit than that now exhibited.

their former reports. The report ofthe Prin

the cron of Cotton has approached to (in esti
mate or one hundred pounds to tho acre,
made some time previous to the early and
severo frosts that killed it to tho root; Col.
\V. W. Ilazzard, was called-to the Chair,
and Thomas Butler King, appointed Secre
tary.
After a resolution had boon complied with,
requiring every planter to hand to the Chair
man and Secretary, an exact statement of
the number of acres planted, and quantity of
Cotton gathered, that they might ascertain
thonverugo product of the whole crop, it was
found that only seventy six pounds have been
made per acre, and that ample allowance has
been made in this average, for the very small
quantity that still remains in some of the fields
to he picked.
Resolved, That it is the unanimous opinion
of this meeting, from information obtained
from the inuin, where tho crops are always
more subject to frost, and havo consequently
been more injured, that the average will not
bo as great as on tho Island.
Resolved, That a copy of these proceed
ings bo forwarded to the Savannah Georgian,
and Durien PJtatnix, lor publication.

REMARKS,
COTTON.—Uplands o! prime quality have born in
good demand during the past week, nail sell os far t ns
offered nt from 9 1-2 to 9 3-4, mostly at 9 1-2 a 0 5-8—
ordinary and mixed lots have been more neglected and
prices of these descriptions arc a shadu lower. We
quote ordinary to mixed lots 8 3-4 a 9 1-4, and prime 9
1-2 u ft 3-1. ’ The river bns risen since our Iasi, but will
not nrobubiy remain so. Our stock is yet limited and
until we have a permanent rise in tho river, there will he
hut little chance of its accumulating, lu Son Islands
there is nothing doing. We quote 20 a *22 and upward*
for tine brands.
lUCK—The sales for the past week will probably
amount to between 7C0 and 800 ensks, nt from 2 1-1 a 2
3-4, mostly nt 21-2 a 2 5-8—prime quality still contin
ues scarce aud would readily entmnaud r our highest
quotations. Wo quote 2 1-4 a 2 3-4 brisk.
CORN.—We have had ono arrival of Corn clurin;
llio week, which sold readily nt 66 cents.
FLOUR.—Some sales o*f Flour have been made at
!?G 1-2, aud Canal at 6 5-8 a 0 3-1, The demand how
ever is quite limited.
CROCKlUKS—Still continue in limited demand nt
last week’s quotations j the sales made have been prin
cipally for eity trade.
LI/MBKlf.—Our quotation of River Lumber last
week, as well as this, was mudo ns usual, after personal
inquiry, and from actual sales—by un advertisement,
however, in our columns, it appears that a majority of
the lumber dealers consider the market price us estab
lished nt $12 in place of 810. We therefore change
our quotulimi In 10 a §12.
FREIGHTS.—To Liverpool 1-2.1. To France 1 n
1 l-fi cent. To New York $1, To Providence $1 25.
To Uosioti 1-2 cent, nominal.
