COTTON MARKET.
Our market is now open, and business
hia y be said to have just commenced for the
season. 153 bales have been received, and
sent forward to Augusta by the Rail Road.
A larger proportion of which was of the
old crop. 41 bales of new Cotton, strictly
rime have been sold to our merchants at
6} t o 7 cents; 20 bales of old, slightly
stained, at ;10 do., good, 6J. Our mer
chants arc daily receiving goods : the lead
ing articles we quote at the following prices:
Salt, SI; Iron, 6to cents ; Bagging,
18t024 cents; Twine, 37£ cents; Bale
Rope, Bto 14 cents; Nails, 8 to 9 cents;
Sugars, S to 12 cents; Coffee, 12 to 14
cents.
Our currency is clearly defined—“ the
good is very good—the bad too bad,” itc.
Central Bank and City Council bills are
considered here a specie-al baseness, and will
only pass at a discount of from 33 to 50 per
cent. We caution our DeKalb, Newton
andGwinnette friends against putting white
oak splits or hoop poles around their square
i, a l es they will lose more in price here
than they will make by their economy. —
Square bales will command J cent more
than round, and preference will always be
.given to those in good order. Square bales
are also taken at a cheaper rate to Augusta
by the Rail Road—37 h cents being their
freight and 40 per hundred for round.
the superior court
Has been in session during the past week,
Judge Cone presiding. We learn that much
important business has been despatched, and
that it is expected the Court will adjourn to
day. Several important civil cases have
been disposed of, and two gentlemen have
been delegated to go to Milledgeville to re
present the county in the State Penitentiary.
Lewis Jinkins and James Ward, convicted
larceny from the house, were sentenced
to the penitentiary for four years. A green
cow-hide and an iion bolt were the articles
which excited their thieving propensities.
We doubt not the Judge took the Kentucki
an’s view of the matter -it was not for the
tally of the cow-hide or iron, but it was the
•principle of flte thing he looked at, when he
gave them board, lodging aud washing for
four years. Perhaps, if these unfortunates
had been more liberally supplied with the
cowhide in their more tender years, they
would not have manifested such a taking
partiality for it when grown.
While we write, (Friday night,) we can
hear a number of jurors singing, “Where
ate the Hebrew children.” They have been
hung since yesterday morning in another
larcenycase. Wecan no monetellourread
ers what their verdict will be than old Judge
Dooly could in his day—end !e always con

doubtful question, not to be solved by omni
science itself. Os one thing we are certain,
they have a warm birth of it.
tup. weather.
Whew! but it is hot! We are dripping
from every pore. The sun seems to have
set the whole heavens on fire, and all nature,
trees and shrubs, men and beasts droop be
neath his fervent rays. The gobler breathes
as if he had the asthma, and drags about his
drooping wings as though they were useless
appendages, while the dogs shake their sides,
not with laughter, poor creatures, but from
very shortness of breath—the horned cattle,
the horse and the mule retire to the shade
and nod and stamp, and brush their tormen
ters, the flies. The heat is vertical, and
shade seems to have been reduced by evap
oration, so that the little we find has lost its
cooling properties. The air is charged with
morphine—one thinks himself to sleep, and
the sprightliest book drops from the hands
of the fair reader. Conscience! what
weather! were it to hold till April next, we
would be constrained to believe that Miller’s
doctrine was not all a mistake. Why we

THE “ MAGNOLIA,”
Foi September, was promptly on our ta
ble, and right glad do we mark the improve
ment in every department of the work.—
The publishers deserve much praise for the
superior manner in which the September
number appears. We have not space to
speak in detail of its contents. With the
contributions to the number, so far as we
have read them, we have no fault to find.—
The article on the genius and writings of
Mr. Cooper is creditable to the head and
heart of the writer, and will be read with
pleasure by all who are capable of doing
justice to the genius and talents of this much
wronged pioneer of our national literature.
We are glad to perceive that the editor’s
respect for public opinion has prompted him
to allude, in an apologetic article, to the re
marks contained in the June number of his
magazine—upon which we remarked at the
time, conceiving them, as we did, to be of
fensive to the sense of the moral communi
ty —but we regret that he has not had bet
ter success in his explanation of those re
marks. We cannot discover in his very
long article, a solitary sentence either in
justification or extenuation of the remark
alluded to, except we take his avowal that
“it was an inadvertance, and would have
been corrected by himself had the proof
sheet been submitted to his revision,” as
sufficient; but even this is followed with
the remark, that even if the offensive sen
tence were “ wholly correct, it would not
be the just policy of any reformer to offend
the prejudices and irritate the self-esteem of
any considerable body of citizens.”—From
this we are left to infer that a destfe nofTo
offend the “ prejudices or irritate the self-es
teem” of the Christian public would have had
as much weight in inducing him to erase the
“ offensive sentence” as any other, and, in
fact, leaves us in doubt whether he is not as
much actuated in making his very lame re
traxit by “just policy,” as by a proper con
viction of his error. An ingeniously framed
and intricate sentence, too, is not often set
down to inadvertence : such blunders but
seldom occur to men of ordinary minds, and
we think affords but a shallow pretext with
which to escape the responsibility of author
ship. Mr. Simms urges that “ the whole
tone and bearing of a public journal should
be referred to, in any examination which
may be proposed iuto its moral tendencies,”
and would have the “offensive sentence”
passed on the credit of the general character
of his magazine. Neither is this good log
ic. Such an “ offensive sentence” is all the
worse for being introduced into a work of
high literary and moral standing : in a bil
ingsgate publication it would be hai mless ;
and, perhaps, we may apply the same rule
of “just policy” here, which Mr. S. has ap
plied in the other case. “Just policy” would
certainly dictate that the general tone and
character of his magazine should be elevated,
if he would expect to obtain for it the coun
tenance and support of an intelligent and
moral public. In the whole article before
us, which would make some two columns of
our paper, the “ offensive sentence” is al
luded to but in three or four places in as ma
ny lines; indeed, we have quoted nearly all
that has an immediate bearing upon it. As
Mr. S. has been generally conceded the au
thor of the article in which the objoctionable
remark was contained—which he neither
denies or admits—and as he is known to
have the editorial control of the “Magnolia,”
we regret that he has not been able to ex
culpate himself from the blame which must
attach to the utterance of such sentiments in
the pages of his magazine. If he would
claim the rank of a “reformer” he must
puisue a more cautious course than is man
ifested in the article complained of, and a
more candid one than he haa indicated in
his apology.
We most heartily congratulate the pub
lishers on their good fortune in obtaining the
first copy-right publication of the “ Georgia
Scenes.” Having had them under promiso
to ourself for the last four years, and nover
having been able to obtain them, we had be
gun to despair of their ever seeing the light.
We were a little surprised, some month or
so since, when we were informed of their
good fortune, and were at a loss to account
for the sudden transfer of favor. We per
ceive, however, that they have promised on
their part, and as they were doubtless able
to take the lead of us in that matter, to this
□<d ur mob at mu a<dib& il a it-7 o
circumstance we must attribute their suc
cess. We trust they will be amply reward
ed for their liberality and enterprise.
Tue “ ohion ”
For August was received at our Post-
Office yesterday morning, though we have
been informed that the box containing the
pamphlets arrived at Penfield, from New
York, some two weeks since. The “tout
ensemble” is in the style of the New York
press. The number contains some two or
three good articles from southern pens, but
which are mixed up with such a quantity of
namby-pamby stuff, that we can scarcely
find patience to winnow the chaff from the
wheat. Skipping through some five or six
pages of editorial gossip, we come to the
last page, where he makes such a mortal
thrust at ourself. The editor is, to use his
own very “unique” expression, excessively
“ verdant ” if he thinks our feelings are to
be at all chafed by the affected contempt of
a presumptuous upstart, or if he imagines
that we would feel in the least elevated by
having the name of our paper or ourself ap
pear in his “ exquisite” magazine. We had
much rather rest in the ignoble “obscurity”
which he so modestly attributes to us than
participate in his humbugeous notoriety. We
have not the facilities of a post-office, tbro’
which to transmit our MSS to, or receive
our proof-sheets from New York, free of
postage, therefore we cannot compete with
him in the “tout ensemble ” line, nor have
we the faculty of traveling upon the hospi
tality of our brethren, and of boring the pub
lic out of favors against their will, either
literary or pecuniary, and of consequence
can not so well “have personal and gratify
ing intercourse” with our subscribers: nev
ertheless we have good reason to believe
that our patrons are well satisfied with our
“obscure paper,” aud that it is generally
quite as well appreciated as if it were print
ed in New York, and edited by a foreign
cockney.
There is a characteristic and peculiarly
ingenious obscurity about the entire article
in the “Orion.” He says “it will fit to a T.”
and that he “could a tale unfold,” but that
he will not “ dignify the parties alluded to”
by naming them in his work. So far as we
are concerned we are willing to waive the
dignity. He qgee made flattering mention
of our humble name in his “Orion,” in re
turn, we suppose, foi having fibbed us out
of the name of his magazine. He then
claimed us as its God-father, and we do not
remember that we lost a night’s sleep or a
single meal in consequence; though we were
not a little surprised at the non-appearance
of the splendid engraved title page, which
he informed us he had had engraved at
a heavy expense, in consideration of which
expenditure we had yielded to him a name
which we had selected for our own use, and
which, having learned it from us, he had
the impudence to appropriate without our
knowledge or consent. If his exquisite
ighness can a tale unfold, why not let us
have itl A good round tale, if no better
founded in truth than his assertion to us in
reference to the the engraved title, or that
to his readers abouttheengravingthatjwasto
appear in his July number, would answer
him a better purpose before the uninitiated
public, than all the dignity or contempt he
is capable of affecting.
We have no hesitancy in unfolding our
tale. It is very brief. We had become in
sensed and disgusted at the duplicity, effron
tery and impudence of a man who we saw
resorting to every means to humbug the
Southern public—setting himself up as the
“ champion and exponent of Southern prin
ciples”—incessantly prating of Aour coun
try, Aour literature and Aour Ainstitutions—
writing and causing to be published the
most fulsome puffs of himself and his work,
desparaging by small insinuations all others
at the South, while he flattered and truckled
to those of the North—boring the public to
death, in season and out of season, in the
street and in their houses to support “ Hort
on,” which he endeavored to palm off as a
Southern periodical—the bright constellation
of Southern genius—when, in fact, it was
mainly made up of his own twattle, under
different signatures—disgusted and insensed
at such a man, we did furnish the publishet
of the “ Miscellany” with an article in refer
ence to himself and his work.
In it we uttered our real sentiments—
we do not now, nor did we then shrink
from the responsibility of authorship: nor
do we consider that our temporary connec
tion with another periodical in which we
had no pecuniary interest, was any bar to
the expression of our views of his literary
ighness’ publication through the columns of
the “Miscellany.”
Now, Mr. Jfbrion, unfold your tale—out
with it—and we will give you a sequel to
this which will put your “rotten Aeggs” to
the test.

Philadelphia Saturday Chronicle. —This
is one of those cheap, “ wishy washy,”
wbitey brown concerns, with which the city
of Philadelphia ia flooded. It is devoted to
twaddle, humbug-rhymes, silly stories, bon
roots and Billy Riley literature, at two dol
lars a year single copies, and a strong in
ducement for clubbing. We received a co- I
py yesterday, in which was an advertisement
setting forth its own consequence in the true
quack style, and which had an ink finedrawn
around it to attract our attention. To copy
it would be well worth ten dollars. After
reading it through, a note at the bottom in
formed us if we would give the above “ a
few insertions toe should be entitled to an ex
change.” We thought this the coolest piece
of impudence we ever met with. We would
not exchange with it on equal terms, let alone
coppying its advertisement. And we only
at this time speak of it to expose these out
rageous humbugs—these cheap “ litertiry”
newspapers. They live by puffing them
selves, and endeavoring to make poor coun
try editors do the same. Their contents are
fit only for boys, love-sick girls and foolish
old maids to read. If our editorial brethren
in the country were to expose these hum
bugs in place of acceding to their impudent
demands, they would do themselves and the
world more even handed justice than they
now do. We give the above notice with
out even soliciting an exchange.— Lowell
Journal.
We endorse, without any scruples, the
above paragraph, “ word for word, letter for
letter, and comma for comma.” We re
ceived a number of the same paper with
the “ ink line” drawn around the “ ten dollar
advertisement.” We’d no more copy it for
the sake of an exchange, than we would
fall in love with the doctrines of whiggery.
Nine tenths of these great papers are com
plete nuisances. Let them be blowed up
by the country press. We give the Chroni
cle kick No. 2.— Manchester Democrat.
ff/*” We most cordially approve the above
paragraphs. Over no department of enter
prize does the genius of humbug more ab
solutely preside than over these same “wishy
washy, whity brown concerns,” one of which
has given rise to the editor’s remarks. But
the “ Chronicle” is but one out of a hundred
of the same class—there is the “ Saturday
Courier,” “ Boston Notion,” “ Universal
Nation,” “ Uncle Sam,” and numerous oth
ers which we might mention, that are equal
ly unblushing in their praise, impertinent in
their demands upon the country press, and
alike destitute of real merit. We have of
ten wondered to see country editors devot
ing half a page of their paper to the publi
cation of a prospectus of the “ Saturday
Courier,” or some other common sewer of
literary trash, merely to secure an exchange.
By so doing, he doubly wrongs his patrons ;
first, by depriving them of other more valua
ble matter, and, secondly, by lending his aid
to gull them into the support of a paper
made up of the odds and ends, shreds aud
patches of the local gossip of the Northern
cities. Such a course is the more humilia
ting when it is borne in mind that these
same modest publishers, on all occasions,
manifest the most sovereign contempt for
the interests or pretensions of the country
press, and that, while they are loud and long
in their reciprocal praises of one another,
they do not deign to treat with common cour
tesy those very presses at whose hands they
ask such liberal contribution in the way of
giving publicity to their unblushing puffs.
We have even known a popular southern
periodical to receive information from the
Philadelphia Post-Master that the number
sent in exchange to the “Saturday Courier,”
was not taken from the office. Would not
this seem to indicate the slight estimation in
which our literary enterprizes are held by
these big mouthed beggars for the patronage
of our people 1 Let the Southern press take
a proper stand in this matter —their own
prosperity, not more than the true interests
of the public, demand that they should; let
these humbugs be exposed—let the people
know the manner in which they are gotten up;
that the matter contained in them is but the
savings from the daily local press—that they
are the great sewers into which the staler
scraps, and literary offal of the large print
ing houses of the Northern cities are thrown,
to be ground over, under a dozen names,
and to be circulated throughout the country
under as many forms; let this be done rath
er than publish their “ $lO advertisements,”
and their circulation will only be in propor
tion to their real merits—which is all we
desire. For our own part, we have never
solicited an exchange with them, nor would
we burthen our columns with their graceless,
unblushing puffs for any consideration. On
ly last week we received the “Chronicle”
above alluded to, with the same advertise
ment marked, and the same modest request.
It was thrown aside at the time, but some
one in our office appended to the advertise
ment, “we’ll see you d—d first,” carefully
enveloped it, and sent it back. Though not
our own act, the endorsement is very nearly
our sentiments. Who will give the hum

Terrible Rit/ts in the Mannfaitu/iug Towns
in England. —Our anticipations with respect
to an outbreak in the manufacturing districts
have unfortunately been verified ; and how
ever much we may regret these occurrences,’
calculated as they are greatly to aggravate
existing distress, we are by no means sur
prised that the patient masses have been
goaded by their long suffering into acts of
violence and insubordination. Concerning
the origin of these disturbances there can
be no question. Large masses never rebel
except under the influence of some great
practical oppression.
Manchester. —Since Tuesday, the 9th in
stant, Manchester has been in a complete
state of disorganization,all business being at a
stand still, and the military being cbnstantly
engaged in dispersing riotous assemblages.
There has, however, been, comparatively
speaking, very little destruction of property,
and not much plunder, though many of the
mills have been attacked, aud the shopkeep
ers have been compelled to give up their
stock of provisions.
Penlklon. —Between 9 and 10 o’clock this
(Wednesday) .morning, a mob of between
three and four hundred persons, boys, men,
and women, having a flag with them, and
some of them provided’with sticks, went to
the Victoria mills, which were working, and
demanded that the hands be turned out and
cease. The hands did come out; but im
mediately made a rush at the mob, and beat
them off the ground.
Accrington. —A lawless mob disturbed
this place on Saturday morning. They
cajpe from the direction of Haslingdeu.
They took complete possession of the town,
and stopped all the mills, turning out the
hands. All the mills in the neighborhood
of Enfield, Church, and that district were
also stopped by the same mob. In order to
pacify this lawless rabble, we understand
several gentlemen distributed money and
provisions among them. Up to the time of
going to press all the mills here are stopped.
On Monday morning the town was in a
state of great excitement, in consequence
of the reported approach of a laige body of
rioters, chiefly from BOrtily, Haslingdeu,
Accrington, atid their neighborhoods. In
consequence of this announcement, the mili
tary force in the town—coifSisting, we be
lieve, of a single company of the 72d High
landers, was got under arms, and proceeded
to the side of the town, at which the inva
ders were expected to enter.
On leaching the factory of Messrs. Rod
gett & Brierly, at Farthct Gate, it was
found that an advanced guard of the rioters
had just arrived there, and that a number of
them had made their way into the building.
The soldiers, of whose approach they
were ignorant, immediately rushed upon
them, before they had time to effect their
purpose, and secured about 18 prisoners.
Whilst this was going on, however, the mob
had made their way into the town in very
considerable Lumbers, and separated iuto
different parties, made a number of attempts
upon the various mills in the town, some ol
which were successful, whilst others were
prevented by the approach of the military.
Blackburn. —Tuesday, August 16. Black
burn, Burnley, Boine, Padiham, and for
many miles round, have been in a continued
state of agitation. A meeting of the work
ing classes was held on Thursday night, at
Sinithbrook, and resolutions passed to turn
out for the wages of 1840.
Halifax. —Sowery Bridse, August 16.
Halifax is all in commotion, and the mob is
both desperate and determined in their pro
ceedings. Twelve of the military went
with two omnibuses, conveying about fifteen
or sixteen prisoners to the railway station at
Elland, and on their return were attacked
in a most furious end fatal manner by the
mob.
Yorkshire. —The insurrection has extend
ed to Yorkshire. On Saturday morning the
turn outs made their appearance at Hebden
Bridge, at Mytholmroyd, and at Snwerby
Bridge, near Halifax, showing that they are
systematically and determinedly spreading
their course of intimidation, with the view
of embracing the whole kingdom.
Wigan. —August 16. Considerable ex
citement seerped to prevail in this town on
Sunday morning last, for on the Wigan
troop of yeoman cavalry mustering in the
market place, they were repeatedly hooted;
and when they took their departure in the
direction of Preston, they were assailed with
groans and hisses from the assembled multi
tude.
Rockdale, Bolton, tfc. —Parties of the turn
outs from the districts above mentioned pro
ceeded to Rochdale, Heywood, Middleton,
Bury, Bolton, &c., where, having been join
ed by the malcontents of those places, they
have subdivided, and visited all the adjacent
districts, stopping the works in their pro
gress, aud levying contributions of bread,
provisions, ale, &c. Meetings have been
held, at all of which Chartism was intro
duced. The streets at all those places were
crowded with idle and discontended people.
Cabinet Council—Movement of Troops —
Royal Proclamation. —Despatches from the
disturbed districts were received at an ear
ly hour on Saturday morning, at Home of
fice. The gentlemen, bearers of the infor
mation, had interviews in the forenoon with
Sir James Graham, and also with Sir Ro
bert Peel. Summonses were immediately
issued to the Cabinet ministers to attend a
Council at the Foreign Office. The Council
was attended by the following Ministers:
Sir Robert Peel, the Duke of Wellington,
Lord Whornclift'e, the Duke of Buccleuch;
Earl of Aberdeen, Sir James Graham, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, Earl of Ri
pon, and Lord Fitzgerald.
The following proclamation was issued ;
it has been extensively placarded in Man
chester, and throughout thtrdiatricts:
“Victoria R.—Whertia in the divers
parts of Great Britain g*Mt multitudes of
lawless and disorderly persons hare lanely
assembled themselves together in • riotous
and tumultous manner, and have, with force
and violence, entered Into certain mines,
mills and manufactories, and other places,
and have, by threats and intimidation, pre
vented our good subjects therein employed
from following their usual occupations and
earning their livelihood; we, therefore, being
duly sensible of the mischievous conse
quences which mast inevitably ensue, aa
well to the peace of the kingdom, as to the
fives and properties of oar subjects, from
such wicked and illegal practices if they go
unpunished, and being firmly resolved to
cause the laws to be put in execution for the
punishment of such offenders, have thought
it, by the adtiee of our Privy Council, to is
sue this proclamation, hereby strictly com
manding all justices of the peace, sheriffs,
under-sheriffs, and all other civil officem
whatever within the said kingdom, that they
do use their endeavors to discover, appre
hend, and bring to justice the persons con
cerned in the riotous proceedings above
mentioned, and, as a farther inducement lo
discover the said offenders, we do hereby
promise and declare, that any person or per
sons who shall discover and apprehend, or
cause to be discovered and apprehended, the
authors, abettors, or perpetrators of any of
the outrages above mentioned, so that they
or any of them may be dully convicted there
of, shall be entitled to the sum of fifty pounds
for each and every person who shall be so
convicted, and shall also receive our most
gracious pardon for the said offence in case
the person making such discovery as afore
said shall be liable to be prosecuted for the
same. Given at our court at Windsor, this
thirteenth day of August, in the year of our
Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty
two, in the sixth year of our rergii. God

despatched to those districts in which the
riots have occurred, and the most active
measures taken by the government to pre
vent further disturbances. The people
manifest the utmost hatred and coutetnpt
for the military, and we should not be sur
prised if the next accounts brought us news
of the practical results of English philan

likewise visited by a destiuctive fire, in
which five children lost their fives.
