Mnso®]Ulsumyo PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY MORNING AT THE VERY LOW PRICE OP TWO DOLLARS AND FIFTY CENTS PER ANNUM —ONE DOL LAR AND FIFTY CENTS FOR SIX MONTHS ALWAYS IN ADVANCE. MADISON, GEO Saturday, October 8, 1843. OUR PAPER. The publication of our paper has been slightly delayed this week, owing to our supply of paper not arriving in due time.— Were this the only grievance, however, we would endeavor to overlook it. trusting to the indulgence of our patrons in considera tion of our usual promptness ; but, in addi tion to this, we have to complain of the size and quality of the article sent. It will be seen that it is not only rather small, but thin ner than it should lie, to afford a fair impres sion of our type. We have a much better quality bespoke, and we hope, after what we now have on hand is consumed, we will be able to present the “Miscellany” on a fair and durable sheet. MADISON MARKET. There has been received since our last, 1050 bales of Cotton. The sales for the past week reach 53S bales, at prices rang ing from Gto 7 cents. Some sales of infe rior Cotton have been made at prices under the former figure. We now quote 4 to 7 cents, extremes—the latter price being for prime, in square baies. The letters from Augusta, this morning, show a decline in that market, since the quotations of last week—7J is now the highest price for prune in square, and 7J for the same description in round bales. Our merchants are well supplied with, and are now in the daily receipt of full sup plies of Groceries and Dry Goods, which are sold on as fair terms as they can be had else whsre. In evidence of the truth of which assertion we need only give the re mark of a respectable low country mer chant made in our hearing one day this week—which was , that at the prices at which goods are sold in Madison no pi oft can he made. \ THE “ SOUTHERN WHIG.” The editor, in his rejoinder to our reply to his attack upon this paper, says he “ only intended to create a little diversion,” and that having attained his end he has “ no dis position to continue the contest.” In thus declaring himself, we give him all credit for his exhibition „of “the better part of valor,” as it was no doubt taught him by his consid erate mama ; and we embrace the opportu nity of congratulating the Athenian public upon their possession of so discreet a cham pion. If, indeed, the “ diversion” of the good citizens of Madison and Athens teas his object in penning the article against the “Miscellany,” its editor, and its patrons, the writer is certainly generous in his sacrifices for the edification of the public. There was a time when men of his order enjoyed the patronage of kings, and were the favorites of courts; but those days have gone by, and if the editor would don the cap and bells, he must make up his mind to “ have his labor for his pains.” His order of genius has eith er become too common, or, from some other cause, is pot appreciated as of old. But the belly- potent editor does not strike his flag without giving us one shot more for Congress. He says the “ Miscellany” is in the “habit of attacking every periodical and legislative body that does not come up to its notions of propriety,” and charges us with ungenerously attacking Congress behind its back. We regret that the belligerent posi tion which circumstances have forced us to assume towards some of the “ periodicals” of the day, has had the effect to bring this champion—this “ big gun of the party ” — against us. So far as Congress is concern ed, we can say—and we trust the editor wil’ credit our sincerity—now that we do not speak through fear of further chastisement from him—that we entertain no particular hostility towards that body, and that in con sideration of the editor’s gallant defence of its character, and to appease his outraged feelings, we will, at a fitting time, use all the force of that “ wind instrument,” which has caused him so much alarm, in endeavoring to persuade the National assembly to vote him their thanks, with a leather medal. In reference to the periodicals—with the edi tor’s leave—we will pursue the same inde pendent course which we have always ad hered to—giving praise where we conceive it due, and censure where, in our opinion, it is merited. One would be led to the inference, from the editor’s constant harping on the subject, that he either had, like the Indian, liquored his water rather high at Screamersville, or had been bitten in that unfortunate specula tion of his townsmen. We can inform him that his fears are groundless: the people of Madison are not as envious as he appears to be. They have no disposition to rob the people of Athens of their Screamersville any more than they desire to deprive themjof their valliant editor; neither are coveted —and the effort to bring the former into notice by associating its name with that of Madison, is just about as vain as the attempt of the latter to win laurels by his ridiculous at tempts to create public “ diversions.” AN EXAMPLE WORTHY OF IMITATION. We give the following extract of a letter from an old patron, without comment, only assuring the borrowers of the Miscellany that it is genuine. “ I have been (to my shame yet great de light) a borrower of your valuable and high ly interesting “ Miscellany,” for two months past; though you will, I trust, do me the justice to believe that I did not conceive it to be a principle of sordidness that prompted me to act thus, but only a principle of econ omy, in this wonderful age of hard times, which are verily the “times to try men’s souls” But in your remarks to patrons, on the 24th September, the arguments were so irresistible that they have hung like an in cubus on my mind ever since, constantly hissing in my ear (as Nathan said to David) “ Thou art the man” for whom this article was written. Therefore to dispel those uncomfortable compunctions of conscience, and to discharge a duty incumbent on every native Georgian at least, who is a lover of Southern Literature, (and is there one who is not?) I enclose herewith $2 50, for one year’s subscription to the “Southern Miscel lany,” which you will please address to me at Augusta.” {£?* Borrower, go thou and do likewise. • HOCKING OCCURRENCE. On Thursday morning last, while some negroes were endeavoring to catch some poultry, near the Tan-yard, a pet bear which has been kept there for some time past, broke loose and attacked one of the negroes. Be fore assistance could reach the spot the boy was very badly injured—the back of his neck and several other paits of his body be ing severely bitten. The bear was beaten ’ off with clubs, and afterwards shot. The negro, who is nearly grown, struggled man fully to free himself from the ferocious ani mal, but had not several come to his rescue, he would have been literally torn to pieces. The boy is the property of Mr. J. B. Nick elson, of Greensboro’. MELANCHOLLY ACCIDENT. It is our unpleasant duty to record anoth er accident of the week, which has caused much painful interest in our town. On yes terday afternoon, while Marcellus, eldest son of Colonel Augustus Aldcn—an inter esting youth of about fifteen years of age— was engaged in gathering chestnuts, he was accidentally precipitated to the ground from the tree, up which he had climbed to the dis tance of some thirty or forty feet. The fall being unobstructed, he came to the earth with great force, producing a violent con cussion of the brain, with many severe and dangerous bruises. The lancet was imme diately resorted to, and, we understand that four incisions failed to bring blood. We are gratified to learn that his suffering has some what abated this morning, though fears are still entertained of his recovery. . tall potatoe. Mr. E. Heard, of our town, rolled upon our table a few days since, a Sweet Potatoe measuring twenty-one inches in length, and proportionately large in circumference for the kind—it being of the species denomina ted Spanish. We did not weigh it, which would perhaps have been the best means of ascertaining its magnitude; but it was the opinion of those who saw it, that had it re mained a few weeks longer in the ground it would have been hard to beat. As it is, we can boast of its length—a potatoe 21 inches in length cannot be classed with “ small po tatoes, SJCDWttDQIBIIiST SKI H8<0IB&IL il if 7 THE “ FAMILY COMPANION.” The September number of this work has been received. We did not intend to do more than acknowledge the receipt of this number—deferring a more extended notice till the issue of tl>e first number of anew volume. However, having met in it matter that seems to deserve especial notice, we have somewhat changed our plan. The present number contains—among much that is barely passable—several arti cles of merit. Among the latter we would place the concluding act of that remarkable production, entitled “Andrew Burr.” The entire tragedy is a study for the critic. A discriminating Johnson would find much to admire, much to wonder at, and much to condemn. Scanned, pruned and retouched, by some master-hand, it might be made a living drama. As it is, it is like the diamond in the quarry. “ George Washington Wea ver,” by our old correspondent, Dr. Woot en, is an excellent life-sketch, that will be appreciated by all. “Homespun Yams,No. 2,” is an evident improvement on the first, though we cannot agree with the Doctor, that they are quite in the style of the inimi table Longstreet. “ The Bible,” by Rev. Geo. F. Pierce, appeared in the “ Miscel lany” some time since. “ Christmas in Car olina as it once was” is a very readable ar ticle ; so is “ A Sister’s Love but the sketch of John Neal is the most candid, sin cere, truthful, just thing of the kind we ever read. It will be well received by the nu merous admirers of that eccentric genius.— Asa whole, the number is a good one, so far as the contributors are concerned ; but who will say as much for the “ Editor’s De partment ?”—that department which should be the soul of a magazine, which should give it individuality, tone and character. This portion of the number is made up chiefly of small puffs of favorite contemporaries, and bibliographical paragraphs, gleaned from the literary advertising sheets of the North, with a couple of original paragraphs on the orig inal subjects of “ Albums” and “ Bustles” —the latter of which, considering that it em anates from a woman, rather excells, in coarseness and vulgarity of allusion, any thing we have seen on this most liacknied and disgusting subject. We doubt, indeed, whether our Southern ladies will have their ideas of Boston refinement and delicacy much elevated by this article, from the pen of one who assumes to be a model of fastid eous taste, morals and good breeding. But we will forbear comment, for fear the bias of our remarks may be attributed either to our feelings, or our general appreciation of the author, from our intimate knowledge of her standard of refinement. We may be afflicted with an obliquity of vision in the matter, but if any of our readers can disco ver anything of feminine delicacy, or modest propriety, in the following extract—which, be it understood, we merely admit into our columns as evidence of the correctness of our position—then we will never again attach to words the associations they are calculated to excite in the mind of the reader : “ We hardly take up an exchange paper without meeting something or other intend ed as a slur upon the ladies’ bustles. Now, we do not see what the editors have to do with them. They are not stuffed with quills that they should explore their contents, nor is meal bran however palatable to cows, just the thing to sit well on an editorial stomach or give zest to an editorial breakfast. We suspect that the use of the scissors must have become a passion with some of the corps, inasmuch as they cannot let even a bustle pass without ripping it open. They seem to have infected the people with their insanity about the article ; for someone has even decorated the statue of liberty on a steeple with a sack of meal for tournure.— Now, this is too had ; those witless ones who did it, never dreamed of the usefulness of the article. What more elegant than the figure of a modern belle, with hands clasp ed, spine bent gently forward, little feet like mice, beautiful face, and last, though not least, unexceptionable bustle in its right place, giving support to the mantle which would otherwise droop in a most ungrace ful manner, and soon be discarded as dra pery for the beautiful. And what more comforting to a husband (lovers, of course, are out of the question, J than such an excel lent leaning place when walking with one arm lovingly encircling the delicate wsist of his spouse. O, bustles are inconceivably useful things. We don't believe the marri ed editors dislike them.” 05 a ’ Some say the editor of the “ Fort Pickering Eagle” is distinguished for “ un blushing impudence,” and construes the fol lowing paragraph into an announcement of his “ adherence to modem doctrines of re pudiation.” We are more inclined to think the editor only intended to “ create a little diversion.” He says: “ There is a large and rare collection of the autographs of distinguished individuals deposited for safe keeping in the cabinet of the Farmer’s and Merchant’s Bank, each ac companied with a note in the handwriting of the autographist. We learn they have cost a great deal of money. They jiaid oi'cr a thousand dollars for ours. We hope great care is taken to preserve these capital and interest- ing relics, as should they be lost, we doubt whether they could bp easily collected again. Should the bank, however, be so unfortunate as to lose ours, we’ll let them have another at half the former price, in con sequence of the very hard times.” G?* The Croton Celebration at N. York is to come off on Monday next. THE “NEW-YORK MIRROR,” Os the 24th of September, contains a fine steel engraving, by Gimbrede, of Washing ton Crossing the Delaware, from a painting by Sully. The plate is of the large super royal quarto size, andis given in continua tion of a series of Historical Engravings re cently commenced in the “ Mirror.” In this engraving theie is a departure from the or iginal painting, which we consider a deci ded improvement. The plates heretofore given to the public have represented the Father of his Country in his sixtieth year, by which anachronism he is made to look twenty years older than he was at the time he designed and enacted his daring plan ; the success of which covered the patriot ar my with glory, and revived the drooping spirits of the Republican party, in the dark est hour of their struggle. In the engraving before us, a copy of the portrait by Wash ington’s friend and fellow-soldier, Colonel Trumbull, lias been substituted. “This,” says the editor of the “ Mirror,” in his ac companying remarks, “ presents him in the prime of manly beauty, before years and trouble their defacing work, while the fire of youth still shone in his eye, and while his external presence still remained a worthy indication of the noble soul within.” The picture is a truly beautiful one, and with the exception of a slight error of draw ing in the right arm, is superior to any we have seen. It is itself worth half the sub scription to the “ Mirror,” and should be in tlie possession of every American family. NAVAL ACTION ! From the “ Norfolk Beacon,” of tlie2Sth ultimo, we learn the particulars of a brilliant action, in which the officers of the French ship-of-war Circe boarded the United States sbip-of-the-line Pennsylvania, while lying at anchor in the harbor. The crew of the Pennsylvania received them rearmly,and the affair was spiritedly maintained for several hours. We learn that many of the fair daughters of Virginia, unable to resist the patriotic impulse, heartily participated in the action—never leaving the quarter-deck dur ing the thickest of the behaved very gallantly, manifesting a spirit and willingness to engage that would have done credit to the bravest tars in the service. Much havoc took place on the middle gun deck, where the war was carried to the knife! and’such was the emergency of the case, that the Commodore’s two cabins were occupied as dressing rooms, instead of the cock-pit, where the surgeon’s usually operate. We do not learn that either shells or granadcs were put in requisition, though the account informs us that the “ cotillon, waltz, andgallo pade were continued with great animation until a late hour.” There was a little blind fellow aboard, no larger than a cabin boy, who fired at random, doing much execution with a bow and arrow on the Paixhan prin ciple. Many gallant hearts were pierced, and several prisoners were made by the in vincible fair, who will not so easily effect their exchange. It was a “ Ball,” reader, though not ex actly the kind of balls they used to have on board our ships-of-war in former days.— Well, may no other kind ever pass between our gallant little Navy and that of generous, chivalric France! The wife of poor Power, the Irish comedian, is preparing a memoir of his life, with a collection of his writings. Mr. Power was a passenger in the unfortunate steam ship President, which has never been heard of since she sailed from the port of New-York, in 1840. He was favorably known in this country as an amiable and ac complished gentleman of unrivalled talents in his peculiar line of dramatic writing and acting. The forthcoming volumes will be eagerly sought after by thousands of his American friends, and for once we wish we had an international copy-right law, that his bereaved widow might avail herself of the rich legacy lie has left her in the love and admiration of all who knew him. Pass him round. —Charley Greene says Mr. Charles H. Stower, aged twenty-two, of Oswego, New-York, came to Boston on or about the 21st of July, and palmed him self off as a Lieutenant in the United States Army. In this character, he engaged the affections of a very worthy and beautiful young lady in the vicinity; he promised matrimony, and she believed what he pro mised. But on the 12th of August he left the city, without paying his board, and in New-York he was suspected of having plun dered the trunk of a travelling companion of clothes and money, and decamped. By let ters received here from Oswego, it appears that Stowers, under the assumed name of Bouck, was married in March last to a lady of Buffalo. The young lady of whom we have spoken above, fortunately escaped the snare; but he may try the same trick else where—so, brother editors, pass him round. —Crescent City. (£/* He should have a rope passed round his neck, with the other end passed over a limb, by means of which he should be jiassed between the heavens and the earth until his vampire spirit took it & passage to the abode of his master —the villain.

TO THE “HAMBURG JOURNAL.” “ Wenn’s boiszt man kratzt, Wenn man kratzt es beiszt.” THE ELECTION For Mem tiers ofCongiess and for Senator and Representatives of the County in the State Legislature took place on Monday last, 3d instant. Owing to the dissatisfaction of some in reference to the regular nomination of the Whig Party, a mixed ticket was sns stairied by the Democrats and such of the Whigs as did not favor the regular nomina tion. The election for members of the Leg islature was closely and spiritedly contested, ns will be seen by our table below. The day was fine, and passed off as quietly as could be expected.

Enough is alrea dy known to place the success of the Demo cratic ticket beyond a doubt; and the Whigs have only to congratulate themselves upon their escape from the fearful responsibility which will rest upon the next Legislature. Something must be done for the credit of the State—the deranged affairs of the Central Bank must also be regulated, and much de pends upon the wisdom of the measures adopted. In our next we will endeavor to give a concise statement of the vote so far as heard from. * Thoe marked with a * are the regular nominated Wbigs ; those with a t are Independent Whige, and those in italics are Democrats. TEXAS. There was a severe storm at Galveston, on the ISth ultimo, in which much property was destroyed by the rising of the water in the bay. At one time the water ranged from two to four feet in all the streets. The Pres byterian Chutcb, and several small houses were destroyed. Several vessels were stran ded, though no lives were lost. Estimated damage, $50,000. The same accounts in form us of the surprise and capture of San Antonio by thirteen hundred Mexicans. A Proclamation has been issued by the Presi dent, ordering the militia of Brazoria, Aus tin, Foil Bend, Colorado, Victoria, Gonza les, Jackson and Madagorda counties to march against San Antonio, with instructions, in case the Mexicans evacuate, to pursue them beyond the Rio Grande, and chastise them “as their audacity deserves.” Indian murders had also taken place, near Austin ; two men were killed within three miles of the city. In l,he event of a formal invasion, which is not improbable, the militia of the western counties are to hold the Mexicans in check until the rest of the Republic can rally tothe rescue. The President has revoked the blockade of the ports*of Mexico, to afford and opportunity for the mediation of Eng land and the United States.
