than a regular built Cotton Buyer does of
.retting to Heaven.”
3 “ Well,” said tbe old man, “ if that’s the
chance, it’s a hard case ; for if all’s true that
I've heard ’bout ’em, there nint many of
‘em that can ever git commodations thar.”
lie walked on a short distance, and soon
.rot'into the very heart of Beaver Tail, where
lie ‘was surrounded by several buyers, all
anxious to look at his Cotton. He soon re
cognized some acquaintances, to whom,
doubtless, he had formerly sold his Cotton,
and grasping a tall, good looking man by the
j, an q who “looked like you might almost
read tbe word business in his face—his fine
black eyes glistening as he shook the hand
of the countryman, and was no douht think-
j n „ how-d'ye-do” to at least twenty dollars
worth of trade—said, quite expressively,
“ Joe’s dead, if I mustn’t have five cents
for my Cotton.
“Oh, no!” said a pale-faced man, “Joe’s
not dead yet; he’s over yonder buying Cot
ton and 1 reckon he’ll give you five cents.”
“ Let me see it,” said a large pdrtly look
ing man, with a fine jolly roast-beef-looking
countenance —the very embodiment of good
living and good nature; “ maybe I’ll buy
it.
lie put on his spectacles, and carefully
examined the article, hut coqld not offer
over four and three-quarter cents.
In the little crowd which bad by this time
gathered round the cart, there were several
lookers on as well as Cotton Buyers, some
of whom had discovered, as they thought,
that two kinds of cotton were packed in the
linos. The old man became restless and
uneasv, when they advised him to go round
tin; corner, and try a trade with a buyer on
the hilt, who they informed him purchased
cotton forthe Factory. Before he left, how
ever, his samples were again inspected by
another Buyer, who pronounced it “good
poor.” I was struck with the appropriate
ness of the classification, and couid not hut
think it highly important that it should be
in future adopted by the Liverpool Buyers
and Merchants, as bringing the gradation of
the article to a point of nicety never before
attained.
I followed the old man, with his samples
in hand, up the hill to the limit on the west
ern side of Leaver Tail.
“Do you buy cotton here ?” said he,
nther tartly, as he stepped into the store.
“ Oh yes! always ready,” said a man at
the desk; “sometimes we liny too much,
low as it. is.” Two or three were standing
anniml him—he was talking to them all, and
writing at the same time.
“ Well,” said the old man, “ look at my
cotton.”
“ Presently,” said the merchant, darting
his eye through a pair of spectacles that
looked keen enough to see “ tother side of
anything,” as Sam Slick says—and he kept
writing away. At last out stepped our mer
chant. One would have judged from his
manner that he was getting through this
world in a tremendous hurry, and that lie
kept his pen in his hand, to sketch notes and
accounts of his journeyings.
“ What’s your price ?”
“ Five cents,” said the old man.
“ Can’t give it,” said the merchant, and
away lie slipped to his desk, and kept wri
ting away. I expect he is writing yet, for
it seemed a sort of natural and everlasting
habit with him.
The old man got tired of trying to sell his
Cotton and concluded to take it to Augusta,
and sell it himself; so I left him and his son
Jim, as he called him, getting it out of the
curt to place it in the cars—and the last I
heard him say to Jiin was, “ take care of
tlie oxen, I’ll be up day after to-morrow.”
I had some curiosity to see the end of
these two bales of Cotton. 1 was accord
ingly at the depot when the old man was
getting out his “ tilings,” as lie called them.
These composed two little bags, and a jug
—lather a small matter of return freight.—
His appearance was not improved by a
day’s labor in Augusta, and a ride of two
successive nights in tbe cars. He looked
pretty much “ in the rough.”
T asked him how his trip turned out.
“ Lad enough, sir; bad enough,” replied
the old man. “ I sold my Cotton for five
cents, hut after I received my money they
held what they called a survey over it, and
made me pay ’em back two cents a pound,
and called it false packed in the bargain,
the cursed villains! So here 1 am, with
one dollar and a half in my pocket, one dol
lar’s worth of sugar, one of coffee, and two
gallons of molasses —that’s all I’ve got left
for one year’s work, after paying my ex
penses to and from Augusta.”
I felt sorry for the old man, who contin
ued—“the rascals ! the villains ! couhl 1
help it when it rained and stormed, and
stained a part of the cotton I It want no
fault of mine, for I didn’t gin it or pack it.
Lut now ainl I in a pretty pickle. Jim
bring up the cart; I’ll go borne, and stay
there, and if ever you catch John Jones, ei
ther at Beaver Tail, as yon call it, or in Au
gusta, or planting a seed of Cotton either,
you may put him in the Penitentiary with
out judge or jury.”
He fairly grinned as he bid adieu to Bea
ver Tail and its Cotton Buyers, who he cer
tainly did not esteem worthy his parting
blessing. Q.

To Miss Julia Claringdon,
My adored Julia. — Whenever I attempt
the enjoyment of any privilege sanctioned
by female approbation, or the discharge of
any duty encumbent upon me, whether mor
al or social —whether by mere promise, or
a sense of obligation—it is not only with
much willingness that I give my consent to
do so, but with the highest degree of cheer
fulness that I proceed thus to act. Then
you may readily conclude, and very justly
too, that the enjoyment of such a privilege,
or discharge of such a duty so inviting in its
nature, and attractive in its influence, guar
antees to mo the greatest degree of moral,
and intellectual pleasnro any where to be
found in the history of my experience ; and
fraught, too, with the most exquisite gratifi
cation and delight of which man is suscepti
ble. Yes, I might with the utmost proprie
ty, say that the engagement of such a cor
respondence, with a lady of your taste, dis-
crimination, and literary pretentions would
secure to me an amount and kind of happi
ness, no where else to be fouud. The re
flection, and recollection even that I am per
mitted to commence this correspondence,
constitute no small source of delight to me,
and if continued will not only result in my
individual gratification, but improvement
and benefit of a permanent character. You
may think me vain, you may call me enthu
siastic, you may say that such is nothing but
the effect of wild fanaticism, or the illucid
breathings of a morbid imagination. But in
all this, you ate mistaken. So far from it,
it is the result of cool deliberate reflection,
the honest decision of unbiased reason, and
the innocent, yet resistless emotions of a
heart devoted to tbe shrine of love—perhaps
I should have said friendship, a less mean
ing term. For, certainly there is no way
by which to elicit an exhibition of tbe intel
lectual worth of a lady, so appropriately, as
by epistolary correspondence. There she
is placed upon an equality with the sterner
sex—there she has at her command all the
weapons of intellectual warfare—the opera
tive resources, and defensive means—which
enable her to contend with man for the mas
tery in well regulated thoughts, for the as
cendent powers of mature reflection, and the
highest seat on the long contested throne of
intellectual improvement. Adieu for the
present. Permit the reception, and perusal
of this, to elicit a corresponding effort on
your part without delay; and I have the
honor of subscribing myself

MASONIC NOTICE.
A mistake occurred in the announcement
of the Masonic Celebration, in our last.—
The Celebration of the Festival of St. John,
the Evangelist, will take place on Tuesday,
the 27th instant, instead of Wednesday, the
2Sth. The advertisement is correctly in
serted in our present issue.
THE FRUITS OF ABOLITION.
The recent outrage upon the rights of the
South by the Boston Abolitionists, in the
case of the slave Lattimer, has very effect
ually aroused the indignation of the people
of Virginia, and the papers of that State
have assumed a tone on the subject such as
should characterize the press of the entire
South. It is idle to preach peace to the
fears of the Southern people on this subject,
and it is criminal to lull those fears by sup
pressing the facts—by disguising the increas
ing hostility of tbe Northern public to our
institutions. But worse than this, is the su
icidal, the treacherous policy of those men
and presses among us who have endeavored
to mingle this subject with the national pol
itics.
Had the South met, with becoming unity
and firmness, the first encroachments of
Northern fanaticism upon Southern rights
—lmd the Southern members in Congress
promptly and unanimously protested against
the first efforts to legislate upon the subject
of Abolition, and charged with treason a
gainst the South those who dared to advo
cate such a cause in that body, and refused
to act with such men —had they demanded
the enactment of statutes in reference to our
peculiar institutions, based upon tbe princi
ples of the original compact, or resolved at
once to adhere to that compact no longer
than it was preserved inviolate by the other
States—had this course been adopted, wo
should long since have ceased to hear of
such shameful outrages as that recently per
petrated in Boston. But how has it been 1
Instead of such a course, or some better one
—which the wisdom of our legislators might
have devised—our people have calmly look
ed on, losing sight of the alarming principle
involved, in their contempt for the insolent
agitators. We say calmly. There has been
some little talk from the South—in Con
gress and out ofit—but no decisive action—
no determined resistance. Calmly have
they beheld the base machinations of their
enemies, in the organization of societies
whose avowed principles are uncompromis
ing hostility to Southern institutions—in the
formation of leagaes with foreign factions—
in the enlistment of foreign emissaries—in
the most prodigal promulgation of all man-
a<& ®mmnt sr ut n3<aib :l & a h'ar
ner of insulting slander and falsehoods—in
the incessant petitioning of Congress—in
the heartless incitement of their slaves to re
volt—and, finally, in the abduction and re
tention of their property. Calmly they have
borne all this —and if, perchance, some press
has spoken out on the subject, “ Party” has
stopped the editor’s mouth ; and when pol
itics has raged among us, demagogues have
been found to brand their adversaries with
Abolition even here in Georgia. This has
been the policy of the South.
We are glad to perceive that a proper
spirit has been aroused in the “ Old Domin
ion,” and we sincerely hope that steps will
be immediately taken to put a stop to the
lawless encroachments of the Northern fan
atics. Several of the leading Virginia pa
pers are advocating a Southern Convention
“ for the purpose,” as the Lynchburg Vir
ginian says, “ of devising some efficient
mode, if not of procuring redress forthe past,
at least of obtaining security for the future.”
This plan cannot but be approved by every
Southron—it would bo infinitely betler than
the action of the several State Legislatures,
and would more effectually, than any other,
ensure concert of action, which is all impor
tant. Let a Convention be called, and let
the South act firmly, afid as one man; and if
there is not sufficient moral honesty or pat
riotism among the people of the Northern
States to induce them to adhere to the pro
visions of the Constitution—if we are no
longer to regard them in any other light
than as thieves and the receivers of stolen
property, let the Southern States place them
selves in a position not only to repell their
aggressions, but to punish, as it deserves,
their unprincipled perfidy.
CENTRAL BANK.
We are indebted to our friends in Mil
ledgeville for several valuable public docu
ments, and among the rest, the Report of
the Central Bank Committee. We expect
ed to see a more thorough development of
the affairs of the Bank, but enough has been
elicited by the investigation to show that the
institution has been most grossly misman
aged. The report shows the assets of the
Bank to bo $1,408,449 GO, while its liabili
ties are $1,G51,425 30 —leaving a deficit of
$272,775 70—to which if we add tbe amount
of the State’s proportion of the surplus rev
enue, which should properly be incorpora
ted in tbe account, we have a total deficit of
only one million three hundred and twenty
four thousand one hundred and ninety-seven
dollars. When it is borne in mind that these
assets of the Bank are of the most doubtful
character, consisting chiefly in the notes of
individuals scattered throughout the State,
many of which are informal, “ some with
out dates and others without the names of
the payees, both being in blank,” there is
sufficient reason to fear that even this enor
mous sum will not cover the liabilities which
the State has incurred by its charter. With
such a picture before them, well may tbe
Committee piously express the abhorrence
of the “ very nature ” of such institutions,
while they forbear enquiring into the man
agement of the affairs of the Central Bank.
The Report is not,however, without its con
solatory clauses—a couple of which we will
extract for the benefit of such of our read
ers as are among tbe bill-holders : “ The
Bank,” says the Committee, “ if now left to
its own resources, would be utterly insol
vent—it cannot pay its liabilities out of its
assets. And yet your Committee would
caution tbe bill-holders not to sacrifice the
bills of the Bank, because they are in truth
tbe liabilities of the State of Georgia, and
she must and will provide for the payment of
every dollar. ***** To effect
this desirable object, it is necessary the Stale
should be supported by such taxation as
may be necessary to meet its exigencies and
liabilities.” The Committee accompanied
their report with a bill to repeal the charter
of the Bank, and appoint Receivers to set
tle its affairs.
We saw a locomotive leave our Rail
Road the other day, and move off by the
aid of very sZo--commotive mule power, in
the direction of tbe State Road, for which
it had been purchased from the Georgia
Rail Road Company. The negroes and
mules made dreadful work of it, and from
tbe rearing and pitching, and whipping and
cursing, and coaxing—fiom the unprece
dented exertion that was made to get it to
travel, we expected every minute that the
hilcr would bust, but it didn’t.
(Cf* The report which has been in circu
lation for tbe past week of the stoppage of
the St. Mary’s Bank is contradicted by Mr.
John G. Winter, in the Milledgeville papers.
He says tbe Bank never wa3 in a more
flourishing condition ; and be oughtto know.
05 s ” The prize fighters, Sullivan, Me Les
ter, and Kenset, the brutes who participa
ted in the murder of young McCoy, some
time since, were recently sentenced by Judge
Ruggles, of New York—the first to two
years hard labor in the State Prison, the se
cond to eight months in the county jail and
a fine of five hundred dollars, and the
last to four months imprisonment and a fine
of two hundred dollars. A few such whol
somc rebukes would tend greatly to sup
press these beastly exhibitions.
CONGRESS.
We have no news of interest from Con
gress. The attendance of membors being
rather thin as yet, the session can hardly be
said to have opened. The President’s mes
sage has excited very little interest. It is
very generally published but little comment
ed upon. He recommends the Exchequer
scheme, and the Warehouse System, iu the
collection of customs. In the House, Mr.
Adams has taken his usual steps to produce
excitement, by moving that (he rule regula
ting the reception of Abolition petitions
should be rescinded. Notice has also been
given of the contemplated introduction of a
bill to repeal the Baukru pt law.
We have sometimes thought that it would
not be amiss for the Southern people to re
taliate upon the petitioners of the North, by
using their own weapons of annoyance—
by petitioning, incessantly petitioning Con
gress to make equally absurd interference
witli the constitutional privileges and rights
of the Northern States, as they seek to
induce it to make with those of the South.
For instance let every town in the Southern
States petition Congress to enact a law ex
cluding Quakers from the exercise of the
elective franchise, so far as regards members
of Congress, on the ground that as they re
fuse to perform tho duties of citizenship by
taking arms in defence of the country, they
should not be allowed a representation in
that body on whom the duty devolves of
“declaring war and making peace.”
This would be denounced at once as a vio
lation of the Constitution, which protects
the citizen in tho freedom of conscience—
it would be religious persecution—it would
be infamous, unjust and all that, and yet we
believe such a petition would be as well
founded injustice and right as the millions
thatlpave been piled upon the tables of Con
gress, against the chartered rights of the
South. Should not the South be counten
anced in her remonstrance against tho in
fluence in Congress of the immense Quaker
m te of the North, which is unanimously
directed against her interests, as readily as
are those who are aiming a deadly blow at
her existence, in violation of every princi
ple of honor or justice? But we only sug
gest this petitioning scheme as a means of
“ fighting the devil with fire.” So far as
the equity ot either is concerned we think
the odds would be in our favor. Congress
litis as good right to take away a Quaker’s
vote as it has a Floridian’s negro. We
would like to see what move Mr. Adams
would make upon the presentation of such
a petition.
Various accounts are in circulation
in the Northern papers respecting the exe
cution of George M. Lore, who, as wc have
before informed our readers, was bung by a
nortion of tbe citizens of Glennville, Alaba
ma, in November last. The “ New Eng
land Review” has gone in deep mourning
for his death, and we see it stated in the
“ Saturday Courier,” that “ Mr. Lore was a
gentleman of the best connections in the
State of Delaware, studied law with Hon.
John M. Clayton, aud was much respected.”
It is to be regretted that in any emergency
the laws of the land should be violated, and
we do not pretend to justify the manner of
the execution of Lore ; but we are not dis
posed to believe the people of Glennville to
be quite the “ Larbarians” they are repre
sented to be by these papers, nor to think
that they would proceed to the extremity
of such an execution without the best evi
dence of guilt. A pamphlet has been pub
lished setting forth the circumstances which
led to Lore’s execution, in which, it is said,
by those who have perused it, his guilt is
abundantly established. For our own part,
we shall wait for some better evidence than
the assertions of his Northern friends, be
fore we join in the wholesale denunciation
of the people of Glennville. If tbe state
ments contained in the pamphlet are not
true, there certainly must be some friend to
truth and justice in Alabama, who would be
as capable of correcting its falsehoods as
those who reside thousands of miles away
from the scene of the murder and execu
tion.
THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.
Don’t be alarmed, gentle reader, wc are
not going to create a sensation in the politi
cal world by declaring for either of the sev
eral aspirants to the helm of the Nation—
as the annoucemcnt of our preference in
the “ Miscellany” certainly would. We
only desire to give you some little informa
tion in reference to the latest political move
ments. It is really to be feared that there
will bo more “ Richmonds in tho field” than
there will be any use for. The following
gentlemen have already been mounted on
the Democratic nag : Mr. Buchanan, Gen.
CaSs, Martin Van Buren, and Mr. Benton.
These gentlemen have been formally nomi
nated, while Col. R. M. Johnson and Mr.
Tyler are spoken of as being also entitled
to mount. Who will be the chosen rider of
tho horse, Democracy, at the great sweep
stakes in 1843, or whether he will bo com
pelled to carry double, temains yet to be
decided. “ Harry of the West” seems to
be tbe favorite jockey of tbe Whig nag, who
is already in the field, “his beaver up and
eager for tho fray.”
THE “ MAGNOLIA,”
For December, is a rich number, and is
accompanied by a quarto engraving of
“ Charleston One Hundred years Ago,”
which was promised some time since in the
“ Chicora.” We are not prepared to affirm
that the picture is an exact representation
of the city at that period, as we never had
the pleasure of seeing it until late in the last
half century. There is less pretention than
merit in the production, however, and judg
ing from what the city is at this time, and
making allowance for the time that has
elapsed since the artist employed his pen
cil, we do not hesitate to say that it comes
sufficiently near our idea of Charleston in
its youth. The engraving, with its interest
ing associations, is vvortli a portfolio-full of
such painted daubs as that recently issued
in a contemporary —or, to speak more cor
rectly, a Northern magazine fc of Southern
issue. But we have little space to devote
to the “ Magnolia,” or its engraving, this
week.
The present number contains several in
teresting articles, among which are a criti
cal review of “ Genius and Wri
tings,” “ The Philosophy of Chance,” “The
Fine Arts” No 2, and an “ Original Jour
nal of the Siege of Charleston in 1750.”
The last mentioned paper alone h sufficient
to impart an unusual interest to the number.
There are several excellent poems also in
this number—some with, and others with
out, the names of the authors attached. We
cannot approve the taste that excludes the
names of the authors from th articles in the
“ Magnolia.” We do not think the usage
is at all calculated to foster a literary spirit,
nor do we think the interest abated by the
fact of our not knowing to whom to attribute
the credit of an entertaining paper, is coun
terbalanced by the curiosity created in the
mind of the reader, to know who is the au
thor. Several eminent names appear in the
list of contributors, but we would be much
more gratified with our literary acquaintan
ces, thus formed, if W'e could know them
when we read them.
The “ Editorial Bureau” for the month,
is, as usual, filled with critical notices, Mis
cellany and unimportant gossip. As we ex
pected, Mr. Dickens receives a pretty severe
drubbing, in which are soma very sensible
and appropriate reflections. In l;is notice
of a contemporary, the editor alludes to a
poetical production of our friend Henry R.
Jackson, of Savannah, and says : “ We find
pride in having first taught his name to the
public ear, as that of one capable of doing
good seivice to the Southern Muse.” We
hardly know how to understand this sen
tence. If the editor means to say that it
was either through himself or his magazine
that Mr. Jackson’s name was first introdu
ced to the Southern public as a poet of no
secondary merit, we must beg leave lo re
mind him that he is endeavoring to teach
“ the public ear” a very wrong idea—one
sadly at variance with the true manner of
said introduction. If, however, he wishes
us to understand that the publication of Mr.
Jackson’s first—and for a long time, only—
productions in the “AugustaMirror,”should
pass for nothing, and that the reputation the
young poet acquired through the pages of
that journal was regarded by the literary
public as spurious and unsubstantial, until
the author of “ Atalantis” saw fit to com
mend his talents—if this is the construction
he would have us give the sentence, why,
then we must take back our charge of mis
representation, enjoying, in the meantime,
what opinion we list of his courtesy and
modesty. The fact that Mr. Jackson pub
lished his first productions in the “ Mirror,”
and for a long time contributed to no other
periodical, and that he hat never written a
line for the “ Magnolia,” constrains us to
adopt the latter construction.
“ SOUTHERN PLANTER.”
We have received the prospectus of a
new agricultural paper with the above title,
which is shortly to be issued in Augusta, by
Messrs. J. W. & W. S. Jones, of the
“ Chronicle and Sentinel.” We have before
alluded to the necessity <f improvement in
our system of agriculture, and to the pro
priety of our planters turning their atten
tion to the culture of other productions than
what has heretofore constituted our great
staple. Not only do the present pi ices of
cotton point out the necessity of this course,
hut the permanent interests of our State
demand that a more enlightened and eco
nomical system should be adopted by those
who till her soil. No means could he bet
ter employed to bring about this desired
change in our agricultural policy, than the
dissemination of practical information,
through the medium of a publication de
voted exclusively to those interests. Such
a medium the publishers of the “ Planter”
piopose to supply at a price so moderate as ‘
to be within the leach of all.
The “ Southern Planter” will ho issued
every other week on fine paper and new
type, in a form adapted to binding; each
number containing eight large quarto pages,
at the low price of One Dollar per year,
always in advance. The prospectus may be
seen at our reading room.

sionally contain choice matter and come
cheap, but in the main their broad dimen

would avail themselves of the reprints of

The Spanish government have re
