lany,’ ” says the stay!—we begin to have our doubts now about the editor. “The smartest thing,” says the writer, “ is the an nouncement of the opening of the Cdtton market. 153 bales have already been re ceived,” says he, “ and no doubt went to Augusta the same day they reached the city of Madison.” Here the cloVen foot of jeal ousy begins to show itself. “ Salt i3 worth $1 j Iron, 6to 61; Bagging, 18 to 24,” and bo on, until he quotes our Prices Current through. “ > 3 possible they iiave got all these things in Madison, Salt and Sngar too ? it’s a wonder they did not have Molas ses.” When we got thus far with this pre cious article in the “ Whig,” we were con strained to pause, and exclaim, O, P-shaw! We saw into the whole matter, and could see where the shoe pinched as well as if it had been on our own foot! There are two or three merchants in Athens ; one of them has, for a long time, carried on a kind of mixed business —in groceries and newspa pers —and, as he, no doubt, still exerts more or less influence in the latter branch of the concern, he is determined Madison shall be no commercial “ city,” and that our mer chants shall not purchase Cotton or sell gro ceries, as will the more fully appear by the following extract: “ Reader, were you ever in Madison 7 If vou were not, you must not believe it is a city; they have got no Cotton market. The Cotton goes there in wagons, and after lying under a shelter for two or three days, they put it in the rail-t oad cars and send it off to Augusta; they don’t even charge storage, which ydh know is one of the essentials of a Cotton market. All this flourish in the ‘Southern Miscellany’ about business having just commenced for the season means noth ing more or less than the wagons are begin ning to bring it in and the rail-road cars are carrying it off.” 0, P-shaw ! an’tyou ashamed of yourself to go away round about to pick a quarrel with us, just because our merchants can buy more Cotton and sell more goods than you can 1 And then to underrate our town in such a manner, when you know it is one of the liveliest, handsomest, and most prosper ous towns in the interior ofGeorgia. Have you forgotten the arguments used in the Rail-Road Convention at your village, some two or three years ago, when you begged so bard for a branch of the Road 1 Have you forgotten the comparison that was then made between Athens and Madison, by a distinguished member of that Convention ? Have you forgotten what was then said—and what has since been verified—that the freight on your branch would bear about the same comparison to that of the Madison branch, that a peck of potatoes did to a bale of Cot ton ; that while the Company would receive abundant freight from our rich Cotton-grow ing district, they would have to be content with the transportation of butter and eggs, sweet potatoes, cliesnuts and chinkapins, on your branch 7 O, P-shaw ! you cannot have forgotten it; neither car. you deny the truth of the declaration then made. But the writer says we have no Colton market; that we charge no storage, and that Cotton arrives here, and after lying under shelter a few days is sent to Augusta in the cars. Not so, sir ; storage is charged in Madison, in the same manner as in Augusta, though at not quite so high rates. We will admit that it is forwarded as speedily as pos sible to its point of destination—as it is from any other Southern market—but a large portion of the Cotton arriving at our “ mar ket”—it you please, Mr. “ Whig”—is pur chased and paid for here, in good specie funds and at as fair prices as in any other market in the country; and not only does the plant er find a ready and desirable market for his Cotton in Madison, but also an abundant supply of Groceries in our stores, which he can purchase on as reasonable terms as they can be sold elsewhere—not even excepting Athens. In proof of this, we need only state that of the 20,000 bales of Cotton received here last year, upwards ot 8,000 were pur chased in this market. The present year promises a much heavier business. The new crop has only been coming in for the past two weeks, during which time upwards of 1000 bales have arrived, the greatest por tion of Which has been taken by our mer chants. On Tuesday last, 120 bales were leceived, nearly all of which was bought and paid for on its arrival. We doubt whether* so much Cotton has been seen in Athens 11 in a ’coons age.” After disposing of all the smart things in the “ Miscellany” which seemed so much to annoy the writer, he endeavors to show his own smartness in the way of prophesy ing. We have just recorded our belief in the fulfilment of one Athenian prophesy, but We do most seriously hope the mantle has not descended upon the writer’s shoulders. Heaven forefend that our good town should ever realize the fate thus foretold by the sa gacious seer of the “Southern Whig!”— Heat him people of Madison, and quake in ever y joint! “ About this time next year the tune will run somewhat in this strain— “ Our market will, it seems, never open, business is dull, the rail-road cars scarcely “top to deposit the mail and the glory of Madison like all other great cities has de parted—Fuit Illium.” f here we have it, with a latin climax to Wsui 'c the charm. Oracles were formerly delivered in Greek, Latin and Hebrew.— Well, we shall see. Os one thing we are certain : Madison was built before the Road, and should it be extended so soon as the prophet predicts, her resources are as great, and she is as able to maintain her standing among the inland towns of the State as any of her neighbors, either on or off the route. Entertaining none of that envious, dog-in the-manger feeling towards our good neigh bors of Athens, that the “ Whig” article in dicates towards us, and being perfectly wil ling to overlook the harmless little pop at ourself—especially now that we understand the influences that actuated the writer—we are disposed to be neighborly, and to give the “ Whig” man, and his grocery friend, the advantage of our extensive and rapidly increasing circulation, in disseminating his “ Prices Current,” in return for his kindness in publishing our own. If he will he kind enough to furnish us with the corrections, from time to time, in the following table, we will most cheerfully give it an occasional insertion. We shall confine ourself to the staple articles, at wholesale prices, and would be glad to be furnished with occasional hints as to the supply and demand. ATHENS WHOLESALE TRICES CURRENT.

We understand that s2l was altered to read 27, figure l’s to 4’s, and so on, until the amount was greatly augmented. There is degrees in crime as in every thing else, and we think that the man wlio could thus swell the burthen of the people’s taxes, in times like these, is entitled to the highest degree in the profession of rascality. He should no longer be the Kicker, but the kicked, from Maine to Florida. What, dare to do summarily and directly, what the Governor himself, and “the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in general assembly met,” dare not do indirectly 7 Monstrous ! rnoFLiGAcy or the press. There are at this time some five or six professedly obscene sheets, issued weekly in the city of New York, such as “ The Whip,” “ The Rape,” “ The Flash,” “The Rake,” “ The Libertine,” &c., besides numerous others that make some preten sions to decency, but whose vile contents are not less pernicious in their influence upon the public morals. The “Albany Micro scope,” speaking of these polluted issues of the New York press, says—“ That they are sapping the foundations of morality and vir tue in every grade of society, no observer can fail of seeing. Thousands of them are distributed through every city and village through this and the adjacent States.” Is not this truly a lamentable picture 7 Does it not indicate an alarming degree of profliga cy and licentiousness in the better ranks of society in the Northern metropolis! If the delegated guardians of the public weal were of the right moral stamp, such infamous in roads upon public decency, such foul as saults upon public and private virtue, would not be tolerated. There is no lack of legal remedy against the perpetrators of these outrages, and it would be but aslight achieve ment for those who wield the arm of the law, to put a stop to the open traffic of those vile wretches, who for the love of gain, do not hesitate to spread abroad in the land a blighting pestilence, more terrible and with ering in its consequences than the Asiatic plage. Encouraged by the toleration and, perhaps, patronage of the New York au thorities,similar attempts have recently been made in Boston, which, wo are happy to see, have been promptly rebuked by the authori ties of that city. A late Boston paper in forms us that a large quantity of obscene books and prints have lately been siezed on the premises of two book-sellers, in Corn hill, in that city, and the offenders held to bail for trial in the sum of SIOOO each.— These men were extensively engaged in the manufacturing of obscene books, We hope the villains are not so well fortified with the proceeds of their foul traffic as was Madame Restcll —without this species of legal persua sion—which is the law term for money in the Northern practice—:hey will be very apt to receive their just deserts. B<D HI in IE Hi St salt s<DIEIL &Ai PRIZE FIGHTINO. This brutal English custom —so perfectly in keeping with the servile spirit of the low er classes of monarchists, but so revolting to every manly feeling and every Christian sentiment—so repugnant to that true Ame rican impulse which teaches the humblest freeman to respect his own person equal to that of the most exalted in the land—has again been introduced into our country. — Some weeks since we observed in the New \ ork Spirit of the Times, a very long arti cle on the subject, copied from some Eng lish sporting paper, in which the writer sought to remove the prejudices which have of recent years been imbibed against the debasing, vulgar exhihitihns of the Ring, even in Eugland. We felt assured from this that the practice of prize fighting was about to be introduced—and our suspicions have been verified. The lead of the great sporting paper in New York has been fol lowed, and its columns for the past two or three weeks have contained the most revolt ing details of the encounters of these man beasts. In that paper, of the third instant, a particular account is given of an affair which came off’ on Hart’s Island, near New York city, between two blackguards calling themselves Sullivan and Bell, for a prize of S3OO. One of the bullies got badly licked for his share of the fun—the other got the money; but we will not extent the fame of the hero by indicating “which from t’other.” A thing that calls itself Yankee George, and another that disgraces the name of Mcln tyre, recently tried their relative degrees of brute power on Grand Island, in the same State, and in the last “ Spirit of the Times,” there is a full detail of one of the most re volting exhibitions of human degradation that ever disgraced the annals of this coun try —such, we trust, as will never occur again. Well may the editor “ desire to im press upon his readers the great reluctance with which he makes room for the details of this bloody battle.” Well may he disclaim all participation in the affair, and endeavor to create the impression that he “ has ever discountenanced The Ring, and its profes sors, as such,” for if any American editor can take shame to himself more than anoth er for this brutal affair, it is that editor who has lent his columns to the defence of the practice, and by so doing given to it a de gree of importance and credit which it might have never otherwise attained in this country. Because his is a sporting journal is no excuse for the admission of such arti cles; on the contrary it is a very strong reason why he should have discountenanced and condemned a practice so degrading and brutal that it has almost grown into disre pute in England. No press in the country could have exerted such influence in the matter as his. Hence the responsibility resting upon him is greater, and his course the more to be regretted. The affair to which we have reference is thus announced in the“Spirit”—“Fatal Prize Fight, be tween Lilly and McCoy, for S2OO a side, at Hasting’s, New York, on Tuesday Septem ber 13th.” The fight took place in presence of 1500 people. That our reader may have some idea of the closing scene, we give the last round and concluding paragraphs of the reporter: Round 120.—McCoy was lifted up heavi ly from his second’s knee, and stood on his feet for the last time, lie was led slowly to the mark, and took his position—a dying man—but as erect, as dignified, as game as ever. Lilly was also much fatigued, and enduring considerable suffering from the heavy body blows he had received. They both sparred cautiously ; McCoy leading off, as ever, and making two or three good ef forts to get in without success; Lilly then rushed in, closed and threw him very hard,fell with his whole weight upon him, and re mained upon the dying man until lifted off. On approaching him, (McCoy) he was found to be perfectly inanimate, and sank lifeless in his second’s arms. Time was called, but not, alas! for him. Poor fellow! he was doomed never to hear sound again, till the challenge of the last trumpet shall pierce the portals of his ears, and summon him, with those who did foul murder on him, to a mark from which there can be no dodging —no escape. He bad fought for two hours and forty three minutes, receiving eighty-one heavy falls, with his antagonist on him, and bleed ing, certainly for two and a half hours. He fought with good heart, but not well; show ing by his open motions every thing that he was about to do, and fighting too much.— He had also suffered, no doubt, from over training, having previous to the match been in very ill health. As soon as he had been declared the vic tor, Lilly jumped up, slapped his hands with an exclamation of joy, and then amid the cheers of his circle, sprang over the ropes of the ring. He was but little marked and not severely hurt. Poor McCoy on being tided from the ground, sank as limp as a rag in his second’s arms. A cry was made for the Doctor, and a movement in the mass was made to give him air. I forced my way in the crowd and took a look at the dying man. God grunt that I may neversee such another sight! He lay upon his back, his face and neck one bruised, unseemly, ‘bloat ed mass of incipient corruption; gasping for bieath, and sucking by the violence of his respiration, his bloated lips far back in his mouth. In the next moment he ceased to breathe, and the word went in a hoarse whisper round, that he teas dead ! Never shall I forget the talismanic horror of that expression. The cheeks of old and young, the fledgling villain, and the ruflian steeped in crime, all blanched to ashes, and exchang ing a look of vague and undefined fear, se- parated silently and sought their respective boats. I saw but one man unmoved. He knew, with the rest, that another fight had been promised in the same ring, and unwil ling to lose the sport, exclaimed as poor McCoy was borne to the river side, “ Come, carry off your dead, and produce your next man 1” 1 should say that that ruffian is doomed to arrive at great eminence in hell. Not a loud sound or rough expression was heard by the vast assemblage that collected at the landing. Solemnly each man em barked, and silently the vessels cast off and bore away. I went in tig; dead man’s boat, and sailed back with him, lying stark, cor rupt and dead in the same cabin, where he in the morning lay full of life, health, hope, strength and manhood. The fight bears its own comment. I leave the moral with the reader. Such a scene needs no comment. Let no one rail against Southern customs after this. Duels and mortal encounters in hot blood, sink into insignificance when contrast ed with such a brutal tragedy as this, which would seem rather to belong to the age of the heathen gladiators than to the present day of enlightenment ar.d civilization, and to any country but that inhabited by Chris tian people. THE ASHBURTON DINNER, To use a very common expression is get ting “ rowed up,” as it deserves to be. Ev ery independent editor in the country is out upon it, and they have had ail indignation procession in New York, which is spoken of as a splendid affair. It was composed of The People, military, firemen, civil and be nevolentsocielies.men, women and children. “Twenty-six carriages,” says the Post, “ represented the twenty-six States of the Union, bearing banners inscribed with their names, in the order of their admission into the Union; each carriage containing four ladies in white, with a boy bearing a white banner inscribed with the rejeetted toa3t — “The President of the United States,” and ac companied by two gentlemen in white sashes as an equestrian escort.” In the procession there were four hundred banners, inscribed —“ The insult to the President—an insult to the nation !” “ The insult” will do—that is. on the particular occasion, in the presence of an English Lord, to contrast the Presi dency of the United States with the Queen dom nf England, as they did, was an insult to the nation. But an insult to John Tyler, under other circumstances would not touch the national pride of all the nation. The reso lutions passed on the occasion, rather smack of Tvlerism—equally as much so as of patri otism—however, we are glad they are, to gether with a full description of the proces sion, to be published in the “ London Times,” and “ Paris Constitutionel.” We do seriously hope this climax of national de gradation may serve to awaken the republi can spirit of our people throughout the land —of all parties, sexes and conditions. More patriotism and less politics would be a bless ing to the country. We should like to see a list of the names of those “ Merchant Princas” of Gotham, who bowed so low, who cringed so abjectly at the feet of granny England’s doll-baby. They should be pub lished for the benefit of posterity. TRUE GREATNESS. True greatness is not always indicated by great actions. Time and tide have made great men, but whose greatness ebbed with the current that exalted them. Men have been placed in commanding positions by foice of circumstances, who had not the strength of character to sustain them in the hour of temptation, and by a change of cir cumstances they have fallen from their high estate, to a lower degree than that from which they sprang. True elevation of char acter is indicated in every act of a truly great man, and if we had no other evidence of the almost godlike attributes of that man who was in his day accounted, “ First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen”—the simple remark made by him, at the hour of his death, to his friend, Mr. Lear, would convince us that he was no ordinary man. Even in that trying hour, when the awful certainty of his approaching dissolution was resting upon hismind he was too great to overlook the kindly sympathies of his common species—too great to forget that he was but man—and “ in kindness, though with great suffering,” says the wri ter, he remarked—“ I fear I give you great trouble, sir—but, perhaps, it is a duty that we all owe one to another. 1 trust that you may receive the same attention when you shall require it!” In this he spoke the im pulse of a lofty soul. How unlike is such a sentiment, at such a time, to the spirit which too often characterises the would-be great men of modern times—whose minds are only capable of measuring their own magnitude by the degree of homage and servile flattery they are enabled to exact from those around them. ’Tis the best evi dence of a pigmy mind to see one who by the aid of fortuitous circumstances has reach ed a rank of elevation a little above his fel lows, presuming upon that rank to exact at tentions, homage, flattery and menial ser vice, such as he would pot bestow in return. The truly great scorn the servility of the truckuleut, the flattefy of the sychophant, and the homage of the weak,while they prize in others the noble spirit, the benevolent heart, the kindly virtues that inherit their own breasts. Such a man was Washington. When shall we look upou his like again | THE “CHICORA.” We have had it in our mind to give this journal such a notice as it deserves for some time past, but have had so many little mat ters constantly intruding whenever we have taken our pen in hand, to cultivate a more intimate acquaintance with our interesting Charleston neighbor, that we have deferred it until “ this present writing;” besides, the “ Chicora, or Messenger of the South,” has been getting on so swimmingly—troubling nobody and nobody troubling it—that we have not felt that there was any imminent necessity for our good offices. By the last number, however, our fears have been great ly excited. W e look for nothing less than a declaration of war against it, and its place of nativity, by the redoubtable editor of the “ Southern Whig,” for its presumption in daring to express an opinion in reference to the late Congress. What short of the total anihilation of the “Chicora,” its editors, and the city of Charleston, will appease the wrath of the editor of the “ Whig,” when he reads the following paragraph, contained in the last “ Chicora 7” “ Look for a moment at our National Leg islature. Is it not a perfect menagerie for the display of the art, where our * most ap proved good masters’ blow out their cheeks like bassoon players, and utter great noises, as if they were human trombones, for the benefit of the nation 7 The long Congress entertained no more notion of the propriety of legislation in their heads, than did the Rump Parliament. Beyond the fact that they are entitled members of Congress, ex officio, and that they xeceive eight dollars per diem, while they ambulate Pennsylvania Avenue, it would be a matter of impossibil ity for two-thirds of that body to point out the parts they ployed in the drama of riot and misrule.” Oh, gentlemen of the “ Chicora!” little are you aware of the torrent of withering, scathing, double-barrelled, cut-and-thrust in dignation you will bring upon your devoted heads, and upon your unfortunate city, should this paragraph meet the eye of the editor of the “ Whig.” In vain may you explain, and apologize, or blame it upon your cor respondent. You have had the audacity— or your correspondent has, through your pa per—to assail the august Congress of these United States; and for this, you must feel the wrath of its guardian and defender, the editor of the “ Southern Whig.” Prepare yourselves for the awful scourging that awaits you. Our sympathies have been aroused by your perilous situation, and “for that we know” you will stand in need of all the little “ helps” of which it may be pos sible to avail yourselves, we take this occa sion to record our testimony in favor of your good character generally. We do not hesi tate to say that the “ Chicora” is a merito rious work—ably conducted, and well sus tained by worthy contributors. We would like it better, however, were the articles not generally so long, so os to admit of greater variety. The last number coutaius several good tilings; among them, a well written letter from Boston, in which the “ wise men of the East”—Garrison, Comb, Dr. Alcott, Joe Miller, and others—with a variety of modern humbugs, are well set forth. Such articles, interspersed with shorter ones, in the various departments of polite literature, would renderthe “Chicora” popularindeed, if it is not already so where it is known. The editors amuse themselves, in their last, with scanning Cousin Betsey’s man’s charges against us for hardware, cutlery, household and kitchen furniture, wearing apparel, &c. We can say to the editors, in reference to said catalogue of charges made and preferred against us, what the frogs are iecorded to have said in the fable, “ though fuu to you,” &c. You may laugh at our calamities, brothers of the “ Chicora,” but woe betide you, when the grey goose quill of the “ Whig” is pointed for your destruc tion ! Wo! wo ! wo ! FOURTEEN DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND. By the arrival of the Great Western, in New York, from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 3d inst., we are in possession of fourteen days’ later intelligence from Eng land. The following items, which we ex tract from the Herald, give the substance of* the news: No change in cotton. Prices advanced one week, but fell back again. The news from the Continent is of such a character as to possess only local interest. Our Minister, Edward Everett, had gone to Paris. There have l>een large frauds at t^A Lon don Custom House. There have been failures among the corn factors. American and Canadian flour is Gd lower. Grain is down. The Regency question in Franee has been decided. Lord Ashburton wa9 expected in Eng land on the ist of this month. The insurrection in the manufacturing and mining districts, having spent its vio lence, was subsiding, and the restoration of was becoming generul. At ma nythe disturbers of the peace have retlMred to work. By the thousands upon thousands engaged in the insurrectionary movement, no Are arms were used. In Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, the women were among the most active of the rioters, as in the Reign of Terror in France. The turn out in Scotland, regarded as the pro ject for a general movement, has been a fai lure. It is doubtful whether u t egular steam communication between Europe and Amer ica, except by the Cuttard steamships, can he sustained any longer. The proprietors of the Great Western are so deeply em barrased by the expense incurred in keep ing her employed, that they cannot, in rea son, hazard their funds any further in the prosecution of such an unpromising specula tion. There appears to be little change in the markets. The tendency of the corn market was downward, which* is easily accounted for by the abundant crops ; but business of almost every kind was improving. The KngHsh government bad experienc ed, to the fullest extent, the efficiency of railroads in conveying troops during the late disturbances in the manufacturing dis tricts. Since the intrusion of Quested, measures have l>eeri taken at Windsor Castle to pre vent the ingress of strangers. The greatest vigilence is ordered. A shock of an earthquake had been felt in Bangor, North Wales, on the 29th ult. The Queen and Prince Albert had gotn* to Scotland. Both were well; so were the babies. The lad Bean had been sentenced to eighteen months imprisonment in Newgate, for attempting to shoot the Queen with a pipe stem. It is said that the Emperor of China has fled into Tartary. The English had slaugh tered many more celestials. Daniel O’Connell declines to be re-elect ed Lord Mayor of Dublin. The British have met with more reverses in India, and with a disastrous defeat atjlhe Cape of Good Hope. The crops are abundant all ever the King dom. Santos Monteiros & Cos. had failed for 2,003,987 marks banco. CCf* Hon. Jolin’C. Calhoun has been no minated for the Presidency by the Demo cracy of Mecklenburg County, N. C., sub ject, however, to the will of a national Con vention. The nomination of Henry Clay, for the Presidency, was unanimously adopted by the New’-York Whig State Convention, assembled at Syracuse, on the 14th instant. Mr. Clay has also received the unanimous nomination of the Whigs of New’ Jersey and Massachusetts. AlQ>V[i(^os!E[MEtf7§. Goods at Cost!!!
