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 sidered the verdict of a petit jury a very 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 could touch the world oft’ with a loco-foco. Whew! it is hot, hot! the approaching election. On the first Monday in October next, the general Election for eight Members of Con gress, and for Representatives to the State Legislature, will take place throughout Georgia. The following gentlemen are candidates for the suffrages of the people: FOR CONGRESS, WHIG TICKET, DEMOCRATIC TICKET, A. H. Chappell, Edward J. Black, Roger L. Gamble, Howell Cobb, R- W. Habersham, Mark A. Cooper, Augustus A. Kenan, Hugh A. Haralson, T. Butler King, John B. Lamar, Hamilton P. Smead, John H. Lumpkin, Rickard H. Wilde, John MUlen, A. H. Wright. William H. Stiles. Morgan county—legislature. For Senator, JOHN S. COLBERT, COLONEL N. G. FOSTER* For Representatives, JOHN DURDIN, ISHAM S. FANNIN, ROBERT FRET WELL, THOMAS NOLAND* WILLIAM O. SAFFOLD * DR. JOSEPH B. SLACK* * Regularly nominated by the Stale Right* Party- 05 s * Congress adjourned on the 31st of August, having been in session within a few days of nine months; the longest session, and we might add, the most unprofitable one, since the organization of the government. All that has been done for the good of the country might have been effected in a ses sion of one month. The President signed the last Tariff- Bill, and sent his protest to the House against the action of Congress on his last veto. DISTINGUISHED STRANGERS. During the past week our town has been quite alive with strangers. Among the dis tinquished gentlemen who have registered their names at our hotels are, Hon. W. C. Dawson, Hon. Chas. Dougherty, Hon. Jas. A. Meriwether, Hon. Lott Warren, Hon. Francis H. Cone, A. J. Miller and Howell Cobb, Esqs. 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. ft/** Kendall is about to publish his jour nal of the Santa Fee expedition in book form. 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 bugs kick No. 4 1 LATEST FROM ENGLAND. Arrival of the Caledonia. FIFTEEN DAYS LATER. Terrible Rioting* in the Manufacturing Dis tricts—A Cabinet Council—Movement of Troops—A royal Proclamation—Confla grations in Germany, Sfc. Ifc. The Caledonia arrived at Boston on Fri day morning the 2d instant, at quarter past 5. By this arrival we have both London and Liverpool papers to August 19. Parliament was prorogued on Friday by her Majesty in person. The extraordinary outbreak in the manu facturing districts bad served somewhat to depress trade, but it was thought it would again revive. Large forgeries had been committed by the vestry clerk of St. Lukes. I Every thing was quiet in Franco. A grand deputation appointed for tle puiposc had presented an address to the King from the Deputies. The general aspect of the Indian news, though rather favorable, is far from being entirely satisfactory to the British arms. The British papers continue to rail at the presumption of this country in endeavoring to obtain z loan in Europe, after the disgrace to which our ci edit has been subjected there; but it is evident they know very little about the Yankee credit system. 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 save the Queen.” ■a CT*” Large bodies of troops have been 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 thropy ! The disturbances in Bulgaria, near Nizza, bad been quelled. Germany.— -The German journals con tinue to be filled with accounts of confla grations. On the 21st August the small town of Tambach, near Gotha, was almost entirely consumed, 50 only of the 500 houses in the place being left standing. The vil lage of Bechtotf, in Wurtemburg, had been likewise visited by a destiuctive fire, in which five children lost their fives. AEWERTOSEMiENTS. John IH.
