We extract the following from the letter of the London Correspondent of the Na tional Intelligencer, received by the last Steamer: The cotton crop and trade still engage much of the public attention. The New York correspondent of the Times now es timates your crop at 2,400,000 bales. — The Economist has devoted much time and space to the statistics of cotton, justly arguing that a raw material upon which the welfare of not less than 4,000,000 of English and Scotch people depends, is a subject of primary importance. This 4,- 000,000 is composed of 2,000,000 in Lan cashire, 1,100,000 in the West riding of Yorkshire, and nearly 000,000 in Lanutk shirc—leaving Cashireand other isolated places out of the question. We have du ring the last five years imported as fol lows : From Brazil, 495,085 or 99,134 an'ly. “ Egypt, 224,597 or 44,917 “ * “ East Indies, 899,2130 r 179,842 “ “ Sundry p1ace5,44,832 or 8,900 “ 1,004,309 or 322,501 “ Our average annual imports from other places, except the U. States, were during the last five years 7,338 hales less than those of the five years which ended with 1839, and 00,000 bales less than those of the five years ending 1844 ; whilst our exports of the raw material during the last five years have increased 54,000 bales annually. This shows any thing rather than a.t increasing independence of a supply from the United States. Our imports from the East Indies alone have fallen 0ff51,000 bales on the annual ave rage of the last five years Our imports from the United States have increased on the average of the last five years no less than 77,000 bales. After a long array of figures and calcula tions with which we will not weary our readers, the well informed Editor of the Economist arrives at the following conclusion. 1. That our suply of cotton (excluding the United States) has for many years been decidedly, though irregularly decreasing. 2. That our supply of cotton from all quarters (including the U. States) availa ble for home consumption, liasof late years been fallingoffat the rate of 1,000 bales a week ; while our consumption has been increasing during the same period, at ttie rate of 3,000 hales a week. 3. That the United States is the only country where the growth of cotton is on the iticrease; and that there even it does not increase on an average more than three percent per annum, or 80,000 bales annually, which is barely sufficient to sup ply the demand for its own increased con sumption and for the continent of Europe. 4. That no stimulus of price can mate rially augment this annual increase in the United States, as the planters always grow as much cotton as the negro popula tion can pick, and the negro population does not increase more than three per cent annually. 5. That consequently, if the cotton manufacture ofGreat Britain is to increase at all, it can only be enabled to do so by applying a great stimulus to the growth of cotton in other countries adapted for the cultui e. The changes which have taken place within the “memory of many now living,” says the Economist, “in the countries whence we have derived our supplies of cotton are very remarkable, lu the in fancy of manafacture, our chief supply came from the Mediterranean, especially from Smyrna and Malta. Neither of these places now sends us more than a few chance bags occasionally. In the last cen tury the West Indies were our principal source. In 1756 out of 20,000,000 lbs. im ported, 5,000,000 came from Smyrmaand the rest from the W.lndies. In 1848 we re cieved only about 1,300 bales from the West Indies. Brazil began to send us cotton in 17S1, and the supply thence continued to increase, though irregularly, till 1830, since which time it has fallen off one half. About 1822 Egyptian cotton came in considerable quantities, its culti vation having been introduced into that country two years previous. The import exceocled 80,000 bales in 1845 : the aver age of the last three years has not been a third of that quantity. Cotton has always been grown largely in Hindostati, but it did not send much to England till about thirty years ago. In the five years ending 1824, the yearly average imports was 33,- 500 bales; in IS4I it reached 274,000 bales, and may be now roughly estimated at 200,000 hales a year.” The reason for the tailing off in the supply of cotton from Brazil, Hindoston, and Egypt, is said to be the depreciation in price which, says the Economist, “is equal to 40 per ct. since 1539,” this depreciation having directed capital and labor into other channels, and and prevetned so bulky an article as cotton from being grown or forwarded. This is particularly the the case in Brazil and In dia, where freight and carriage form so large a propotion of the price of cotton— good roads, convenient vehicles, and safe ly navagable rivers being yet desiderata in the cotton growing districts of both coun tries. The West Indies, Africa, and Australia are regarded as the countries which are to supply theincreasngdemands of British manufacturers, or at least so much of them as would prevent any seri ous difficulties in case of a deficiency in your crop. The importance of this sub ject to both countries must justify us to your readers for saying so much a loqt it. From the Washington Globe. Another Throne on tiie American Continent. —A letter from Rio Janeiro, November 25, says: “The Prince de Joinville and w ife are expected by the Emperor very soon, and report has it that three provinces adjoining Pernambuco are to he converted into a kingdom, and the Prince and Princes are to be crowned King and Queen thereof. Louis Philippe and the Emperor have been in close correspondence for the last three months, and no doubt the above is the result of his wiles. General uproar and republicanism subsequently will he the consequence, and the emperor ulti mately bolted entirely out of existence. — Trade is greatly increased with foreign countries, and with none more than the U. States.” Louis Philippe is a long-headed, clear headed, sagacious man, and would have been a great man, but for some constitu tional and incurable defects that neutral ized or destroyed all his higher qualities. He was, unfortunately for himself and his family, selfish, avaricious, arbitrary, ambitious, and liberty-hating. He couid and would talk about human liberty—civ il and political—as plausibly as any one hut in his heart he hated itaal as a Bour bon, as a King, and as a man. But for these bad traits, he would to-day have been King of France, w ithout doubt, and have died so about the year 1860, which would have given him time to mature and to execute some of his projects for the further aggrandizement of his family.— We think it not at all unlikely that, eith er by force or fraud, or some political jug gle or other, at which he is an adept, he would have placed the Prince de Joinville on the throne of Brazil, or have persuad ed or forced the Emperor to carve out a kingdom for him out of his vast empire, as the report says ho is about to do. To another son Algeria would have been giv en. The Duke of Montpensier he placed in the line of succession to the crown of Spain; to do which he risked a war with England. llis daughter is on the throne of Belgium. There would have been then one son left to provide for out of five; and with his power, influence, boldness, aud dexterity, he would soon have found some high place for that one. But, Alas! “The best laid schemes of mice and men Aft gang agley.” The hurricane of Febtuary came, and down went kingdom, throne, crown, schemes, and every briliant project and every briliant hope. Those that had been trodden down for seventeen years, rose up and trod down in their turn; and this wuse man, who was thought to be the sa fest of crowned heads, as he was acknowl edged to he the ablest, fled from his pal ace without a moment’s warning, and with a precipitation that has rather damag ed his reputation for personal courage, which he undoubtedly possessed in an eminent degree when he was a young matt. And so go the affairs of this world. Selecting Colors. —The art of select ing colors which suit the complexion and | general style of the wearer, is not gene rally known amongtbe ladies. The follow ing hints may he useful to them : “For fair-haired or dark-haired ladies, those colors which produce the greatest contrast are best. Thus for fair hair, sky blue is very becoming. Yellow and or ange tinted by red, are becoming to la dies with black hair. Rose color should never be put on in actual contrast with a rosy complexion, because the latter loses by the comparison ; it should be separated with white lace, blonde, or if a cap or a bonnet, by locks of hair. Pale green is exceedingly becoming; it makes them ap pear rosy, but is unfavorable to ruddy fa ces, for it mikes them too red Violet should never be used for fair complexions except for a very deep tint for contrast. A violet dress will make fair complexion look green, and a yellow or orange, which is bad for all complexions. Dead white, such as calico,is good for fair complexions, but bad for the contrary, for which the white muslin, or tulle, in folds or en ruche, is more advantageous.” Soutiietn MA.NUFACTURES.-For quarter of a cenrury, northern manufactures con tinued in their infancy and leading strings, unnble, as they piteously alleged, to live a day, without the guardian care and boun teous protection of the Federal Govern ment. Yet, strange as it may seem, the very moment proteclion is withdrawn wo find hundreds of factories spontaneously starting up at the South—entering the list successfully not only against northern ex perience, skill and capital, but likewise agaiust the “pauper labor” of Europe. We rejoice in this success. We now be hold manufactures and agriculture walk ing in loving kindness with each other without unfair restrictions or partialities, the one furnishing food to the other, and the other in return furnishing clothing. It is a glorious combination and fraterniza tion insuring the final downfall of the pro tective system, and the permanent adop tion of the wholesome and just principle that the trade of our citizens with all the world should be as free as possible ; that it should be taxed only as property is tax ed in the several States—solely and alone for the purpose of raising a revenue to defray the necessary and legitimate ex penses of government. Any thing be yond this is oppression and tyranny. Melancholy Accident. —The Colum bus Sentinel says: ‘An unfortunate man, in a state of intoxication, was run over in our streets on Tuesday night, by the Wes tern stage, s»nd so badly injured that lie died in a few minutes afterwards. MACON , G A . SATURDAY MORNING, JAN. 19, 1850. NOTICE. As the “Museum” has been changed to the ! “Southern Tribune,” all demands against the ! Office will he paid by the undersigned, and it is desired that those indebted to us should make immediate payment. WM. R. HARRISON. N. B. The Editors of the Savannah Georgian, Augusta Constitutionalist and Republic, and Charleston Mercury and Courier, will please accept our thanks for sending us their 3 ri- Weekly Papers, and we respectfully request all Exchanges hereafter to direct their Papers for us, to the “ Southern Tribune.” Cot. Joseph W. Jackson. This gentleman, the Democratic candidate for Representative to Congress from the First Dis trict of Georgia, left this city on Monday last, to fulfil his engagements by addressing fiis fellow citizens ofthe South-Eastern counties,composing the First Congressional District. Col. Jackson, is just the man that Georgia needs to represent her at the present crisis—inheriting the patriot ism of an illustrious sire—with an honesty of purpose and unwavering integrity —with intelli gence enough to discern the true interests of Georgia, and manly independence enough to defend them, our word for it, if elected, no foreign embassy, reward, or the hope thereof, shal I induce him, at any time, to desert the rights and interests of the people of the South, which have ever been dear to him. We have known him well for the last twenty years as a Repub , licau ofthe Jeffersonian school, and wo sincere ly hope that the “ unterrified and unsubdued Democracy ofthe First District” may prove that they are “progressive,” by bringing him out just “ahead” of his competitor, whosoever he may be, at the election on Monday, the 4th of February next. Cotton. —The following are the prices of Cotton at the respective places named : At Macon, Jan. 19, 11a 12f cents. At Savannah, Jan. 17, 11$ a 12§ cts. At Charleston, Jan. 17, U.J a 12| cts. At New York, Jan. IG, 13. J a 13J e. for Fair. Austria and Mr. Cass’ Proposition. We applaud the virtuous indignation express, ed in Gen. Cass’ fine speech upon the withdraw al of our diplomatic relations with Austria, ami think that this step is more than justified, it any thing could justify it, by the diabolical revenge taken of the Magyars for their attempt to free themselves from Austrian tyranny. But the question of policy as well as consistency is raised as soon as we begin. First we say, is this car rying out the grand idea of the Fathers, of keep ing perfectly isolated amid the conflicts of the whole world—a voiding all entangling alliances— all companionship of weaker nations, or any ac tive participation in the fortunes or fates of other people. For it appears to us self-evident if we may, by any express rebuke as a Government, punish Austria (and wo meditate a punishment as completely by this rebuke, as though we bat tered down her walls with our cannon,) we might with just as much propriety, and with far more sense and humanity, have subsidized poor Hungary when westood by and saw her strength fail her and her eye turned in vain to every pow er in Christendom, for a hand to save her from the flood that overwhelmed her. Then as to consistency, why single out Austria ? Do the sensitive minds of our Senate “ bleed and agon ize at every pore” when the cruelties ofll aynau are recited, and yet feel nothing as they read the far worse and more murderous inflictions of the opium war, brought upon the peaceable Chinese by that most Christian and saintly power, that rules the seas—Or is there anything more horri ble, one v. hit, in what the noble Hungarians have just suffered, than what devoted Ireland, by a slow torture, has been groaning under since the Union ? No, and yet there is no interfer ence here, and must we say it, because it could not be done at “ small expense." Another Compromise and another Swindle. Mr. Clay throws out very significant intima tions, it is said, that he will in due season, have another compromise ready, by which the Union may be saved and these Slates put in a good humor witli each other—at least for a while. This game has, from its very stateness, become contemptible. Compromise what or for whose sake ? Is the same old Missouri trick to be play, edoff'again—by which the North got all, and nothing on earth that she was entitled to, be sides ? In tliis first master stroke of cheating us with our eyes open, what was our share ? Are we to have another project of this grand pacificator, like the great Tariff compromise, by which we made so much for the Factories North —and so much glory for Ci.a v, and so little for ourselves ? We have not forgotten, nor will in. dignant history forget the foul blot ofthe Blue lick letter, in which Mr. Clay advanced, with out a blush at the dishonor of the thing, that this very compromise was designed to save protection. No, if we are to have compromises let them work their way under the prestige of some more honest auspices. We want no compromises younger or better than those of 1787. Look to the bond—in the constitution wc find all the com promises vve want—all we will abide—and far more than some of these States seem determined to ratify. With us these children’s bargains are at any time a losing business—for all our greedy partners have to do is to get up a quarrel as to their share, and straightway a compromise is re sorted to, by which some new and rascally grant is interpolated into the contract, and in due time and with a few more compromises, vve will be too poor and too contemptible to excite even Yankee cupidity. ffjpWe learn from the Natchez Courier that a dreadful tornado swept over a portion of Adams county, Miss., on the Gtli inst. It destroyed a great many fences, gardens, houses, stock, &c. Mrs. Cooper and Col F.L. Claiborne were the principal sufferers, although much property was destroyed in other parts of the county. Mr. R. McCullough, was killed,and his entire premis es were left a perfect wicck. Correspondence Southern Tribune. Millidoeville, Jan. 18, 12 o’clock, M. Both Houses of the Legislature are as deeply engrged in business, new and old, as if they were in the first month of the session. On Wednes day (the last call day,) fifty new hills were in troduced and this morning twenty odd new hills. The sovereigns must make up their minds to re turn to the old system of annual sessions, or al low full four monthsfor a term ofthe Legislature. There is a vast amount of unfinished business before the Legislature, of great moment to the country. Our Federal Relations all have to he gone over and the action to be yet decided on, and I fear there will he angry and unfortunate divisions, but let us hope for the best. Then there is a most extensive and radical law jeforni contemplated by hills now before both Houses. Then an entire revolution of our Tax laws—a most complicated, tedious and difficult matter, as they will all realize when they attemp’ toad just it. Mr. Shackelford’s somewhat notorious dog law was, as modified, introduced this morning and on the heel of its leading, a hill introduced by the member from Jackson was read, which threw the House into uproarious merriment, and provides for the appointment of a Dog-kil er General, an Adjutant Dog-killer, who arc to hold their appointments by Legislative election, to be paid in dogskins. At this time, such jovial con duct is rather costly and not in very good taste, when leveled against a measure, aiming at so much good as contemplated by Mr. Shackel ford's hill. Most ofthe really heavy business, I believe, is set down as special orders for nearly a week ahead. The discussion of the slavery question is to take place on Wednesday next. The Congressional District hill lias passed the Sena:c and will soon he acted on by the House. The Senatorial District bill will also be soon acted upon—The fate of this hill is doubtful, as it cannot be disguised, there is some grumbling and dissatisfaction. The Democrats have never yet, we believe, been able to muster their forcos upon a strict party vote. The House this morning arc discussing the Harrison case, an old and vexed question.— These gentlemen are praying the Legislature to make the Irwinton Bridge a free bridge, as this bridge broke up and rendered wortliloss the ferry of the Harrisons. The Supreme Court have rendered a judgment adverse to the memorial of the Harrisons, and if their present petition should he granted this too will be adjudged by the same Court unconstitutional. This case only shows bow easy a session may bn indefin itely spun out, as it occupied all yesterday and most of this morning. But what are you to do ? To save time and money ride over, in a gallop, the private and vital interests of any of our citi zens ? Never. We must hear in this high court, and hear well aud patiently, before we determine. But our people are kept in a fever of impatience by interested men, by large tales of expense and waste in many instances of our legislation. There is no man here who has the least idea of the extent of the session. Among the on dits, it is reported a letter is in Town from Mr. Toombs, stating ihat the Wil mot Proviso will certainly pass both Houses of Congress, and that Old Zac will veto it.— JYous verrons. Congress. —The anti-siavery Resolutions of Vermont, have been presented in the Senate, and on a motion to print them an animated de bate arose in which Messrs. Clemens, of Ala.; Butler, ofS.C. ; and Davis, of Miss, ably de fended the rights of the South, which were op. posed by Messrs. Chase, of Ohio, and Hale, of New Hampshire. This question enters into al most every movement of Congress, and wo think the South will ere long have it to meet, as we doubt not she is abundantly able and will ing to do In the House of Representatives on the 11th, Thomas J. Campbell, (Whig, ofTenn.) was re elected Clerk, having received 112 votes, out of 221—Forney, (D.) received 94—Messrs. Vena ble of N. C., Ewing of Tenn., Wallace, Orr and Colcook of S. C., all Democrats, voted for Mr. Campbell, on the last ballot. On the result be ing known, Mr. Wood, of Ohio, (now the Dem ocratic candidate for Governor,) denounced the South Carolina Democrats, and declared that the connexion between the Northern and South ern portions of the Democratic party ought to be dissolved forthwith—The sooner the better, we think, if they are to he led by the Free Soilers. The House after several ineffectual attempts to elect a Sergeant-at-Arms, adjourned. The Florida Indians. —Gen. Twiggs re turned from Pease Creek on the 20th nit. with out having met or seen any of the leading men among the Florida Indians. They did not come out, and are evidently disinclined to removal. The Company of soldiers under Capt. Cham plain have been ordered from Palatka to Tampay Bay, and it is supposed that the post at Palatka will be broke up. The Tallahassee Sentinel, of the 14th inst. states that Gen.’Twiggs was still sanguine of being able to effect a removal of at least a por tion of the Indians—they had appointed another “talk” with him. No apprehensions were en tertained of hostilities from them in South Florida. Counterfeit Bills. —The Charleston Cou rier ofthe 17th inst- states that a gentleman in St. Johns, Ilerkloy, received from a hog drover from Jefferson county, Tenn., about a month ago, two counterfeit S2O bills of the Commercial Bank of Columbia, S. C. They are numbered 86 and 44, and both letters n h —Charles Toppcn & Cos., I’hila., engravers. They are payable to J. Jones or bearer ; dated Columbia, May Ist, 1844 ; and signed, J. A.
