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. For the “ Southern Miscellany.” Oakville, Bed bone county, Ga. ) Dec. 12, 1842. f 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 Yours affectionately, EDWARD WOODLEY.

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. Q 7“ The Enigma, by Miss “E. 11. 5.,” in our next. 0?“ The Agent of the New World at Charleston, S. C., has been held to bail in the sum of one thousand dollars, on the com plaint of the South Carolina Association, for having sold numbers of tliat paper contain ing a discourse by Channing on emancipa tion in the West Indies. And yet our peo ple will give the great hulk of their patron age to these mammoth receptacles of North ern slop-shop literature. True, they occa sionally contain choice matter and come cheap, but in the main their broad dimen sions are swelled with local trash, often un fit for Southern circulation. If our people would avail themselves of the reprints of English books, Harper’s edition of them is decidedly the best and cheapest, and as for newspaper or periodical matter, they can be better accommodated nearer home. 07 s * Dt. W. Bacon Stevens commenced his interesting course of Lectures on the History of Georgia, in Augusta last week. We understand the Doctor gave universal satisfaction in Milledgeville, and we doubt not lie will be well appreciated by the peo ple of Augusta. The Spanish government have re cently fitted out an expedition against Hsy ti. The difficulty between the two coun tries has grown out of some violation, on the part of the Haytiens, of the provisions in the recognition of their independence by the European powers.
