PC AL AFFAIRS,
‘rile ( Irruj is Coming,
Wo arc informed by the agent, that
Spalding & Rogers’ mammoth circus will
be iti Columbus the 7th and Bth of next
month. It is now in this State, rani has
been performing v. ith great, success
wherever it has exhibited. Those fond
ot the amusements of the ring may look
for the advertisements in due time, and,
of course, there will boa general hoard
ing up of halves and quarters until its
arrival.
That Powder,
Mr. Marcus informs us that since his
return home, he has investigated the
rubbery recently committed on the Mag
azine in this city, and in which he was
supposed to be a considerable loser. He
states that he finds but four quarter kegs
anu a case canister < f powder missing,
about fifty pounds in all. No other par
ties having lost any, it is easy to settle
the question as to the whereabouts of the
missing powder, at least we think so. One
thing is certain, no negro took it, but
vagabond white boys, who are constantly
popping away at the birds and bats
around the city.
The Balloon Ascension.
About, twelve o’clock on Saturday,
a promiscuous crowd commenced as
sembling at the post office corner
and in ti;e vicinity of the Oglethorpe
lot, to witness the ascension of the bal
loon, which took place about 5 o’clock in
the afternoon. There were old Fogy and
Voting Americaold and young Africa of
bulk sexes, awaiting the event with eager
expectancy.
After the preparations were all com
pleted, the balloon released from the
guys which fastened it, ascended, and
rose beautifully and higher until its ad
venturous voyager, Mr, Wells, was al
most hist to view. We think it went up
about four thousand feet, but owing to a
rent in the top, its course was suddenly
reversed, and it descended gradually to
the earth. We least that Mr. Wells in
tends to make another ascension after
ltis return from Savannah, when we hope
he will be more fortunate.

In !i!s New Quarters*
We dropped in upon Mr. 11. V. Meigs,
Agent for the Columbus Factory and
Mills, yesterday afternoon, at his new
office, erected upon the ruins of the late
fire. Ho is quartered in one of the neat
est and most convenient places we have
seen, having a large and commodious
storage room underneath, sufficient to
contain large quantities of grain and
manufactured goods. On the second floor,
which is level with Front street, is his
office and sales room, which, although
not completed internally, is roomy and
comfortable. The third story is divided
into cosy offices and sleeping rooms, well
suited to cotton factors. We are glad to
know that these pioneer Mills are on the
steady road to improvement, and are
nothing behind their more youthful rivals,
in !he style or quality of their fabrics or
breadstuffs. Persons visiting the city,
and having business with Mr. Meigs, will
henceforth find him at his old quarters,
ready to dispense good bargains in ltis
line.
Immediately adjoining Mr. Meigs’ office
is the Fontaine Warehouse, which is be
ing erected, and will soon be ready for
receiving cotton on storage. Messrs.
Hughes, Daniel & Cos., well known to the
planting interest, will continue business
there as heretofore.

Photograph of Rankin’s Building.
Mr. G. T. Williams, photographic ar
tist, of this city, has’ placed us under
many obligations by the presentation of
a neat photograph of Rankin’s new brick
building, executed by him. As is gener
ally known, this building is situated on
the corner of Broad and Craw ford streets,
aud is designed principally for a hotel,
which has been leased by Hatch Cook,
Esq , of the Chewalla House, Eufaula.
The picture was taken when the brick
work was quite finished, and reflects
credit upon the clever artist, as well as
imparts a good idea of the appearance
and conveniences of the building.
Among the figures in the foreground,
we recognize those of Senator Iver
son, M. Barschall, with his Aldermanic
front, and last, though far from being
least, Mr. B. F. Coleman, the contractor
for the brick work, which we may add is
entirely worthy of his reputation as a
skillful and energetic mechanic—in fact,
it is a model piece of brick work. The
wood work has been undertaken by that
enterprising firm, Messrs. Goetchius &
ITodges. The plan was designed by that
accomplished architect, Mr. IT. Lewis
Woodruff, whose talent with the other
arms of the mechanical service, will, we
hope, evoke into existence many more
buildings to adorn the beautiful thorough
fares our city.
In the first story are four tenements,
the first two of which will be occupied by
Codv, Fleming & Cos., as wholesale and
retail dealers in groceries and dry goods,
the third will he occupied by Calvin Strat
ton, Esq., as an Auction and Commission
House, and the fourth will be appropriat
ed by the Hotel as a Billiard Saloon, for
the special amusement of the “Knights of
the Cue.”
The Rankin House, for such wo christen
it for this occasion, will he an ornament
to the city when fully completed, and
a worthy monument of the enterprise
and public spirit of its owner.
Mayor’s Court.
There was a smaller attendance upon
the Court of Mayor Wilkius yesterday
afternoon than ou previous occasions.
Mr. Babit got “tight,” and concluded
nobody had any right to interfere with
him, in his boisterous conduct. His tuu
cost him ten dollars and cost.
Eli Black desired to enter into the
wedded state, with a fair damsel, but had
no white coat which he could wear upon
the occasion, aud proffered to borrow, or
swap his dark one for a white one ; the
offer was refused. Stung with regret,
doubtless, at his ill luck, in not having
suitable clothes in which to cuter the
conjugal state, he applied to old “red
eye” for relief, aud he got it. aul became
so much elated that he was not very
particular in his whispers, or the class
of wovds selected. His Honor dismissed
the youth, feeling that his failure to get
a wife was sufficient punishment.
Nancy and Atnauda Smith were re
ported as disorderly. There was no evi
dence showiug that Amanda was guilty,
and the charge against her was dismissed.
Nancy, however, failed to appear in her
own defense, and the testimony showed
that she was acting outside her womanly
sphere, and lienee was required to pay
five dollars and cost to the city treasurer.
Mr. Corydon, who has often graced
the front of the bar of justice, was again
there and paid five dollars for the privi
lege.
Mr. Tucker, forgetting that lie had a
mother, aud possibly a sister, spoke in
sultingly to a lady, and paid five dollars
for the privilege.
Growth of Memphis*
There are at the present time about
1400 buildings of various kinds in pro
gross of erection in the city of Memphis,
at an estimated cost of $3,000,000 So
says the Enquirer. Very few places in
the country are growing more rapidly
and healthily than Memphis.
Fair Play. Gentlemen,
•Wo huppefi 0 '! in at mo of our city wufe
houses yesterday forenoon, when a gen
tlernan from near Auburn, Ala., came in.
j and inquired for liis cotton, which he
ha ! delivered to the rail road agent, at
Auburn on the Lit’. i- ‘ . i ■ i.. e shipped
to parties of this cLy. 11 told that
l.is cotton had not arrived. V* e thought
it rather strange and asked if he was sure
of tile date, upon which he exhibited his
receipt bearing the date as he sai l.
How does it happen that six days have
passed and the cotton has not arrived
here, a distance of not exceeding fifty
niiles from Auburn? VL are also in
formed that cases of this kind are fre
quent ou the Montgomery and West Point
Rail Road. Cotton delivered at Chehaw,
for tlii place, ha ; been known to arrive
from one to ix weeks after receipted for,
where it sii mid have come through in
twenty-! :ur .hours at the furthest. It
looks very much like the managers of the
road or their subordinates w.-re trying to
force the planter to Montgomery with his
cotton. We have ng sort of objection to
every man selecting his own place to
deal, and as much ns we like tp see them
trade in our own city, would never at
tempt to deter one from the exercise of
his own judgment, aud we think the rail
road officials should :.ct in the same way
It is known that cotton has been left at
Chehaw on the same day,onelot for Colum
bus and one for Montgomery; the latter has
been sent immediately forward, while the
former has been allowed to lie on the
platform, until it has become rather in
jured from exposure.
This is a matter demanding the prompt
attention of Mr. Cram, the Superinten
dent. Our city is a stockholder in the
Opelika branch of that road, and will
not much longer tolerate such action de
rogatory to her interest. All we want
and ask is equal justice at the hands of
the road and its and wc feel that
it will be done.

New York Dry Goods Market.
The fall business is gradually assuming
a wider volume of activity, though in
some quarters we h ar it remarked that
the purchases are not to the extent which
the abundant crops throughout the coun
try would seem to encourage. In the dry
goods market there is a good business
doing. The far Southern demand has
subsided considerably, but the near-by
South is beginning to bo represented,
which, together with the appearance of
Western merchants, gives rise to a lair
amount of Sales. The only material
change in prices is in domestic goods,
which are more freely offered at a de
cline. The Independent, of to-day, fur
nishes the following report:
“The demand, except with a few lead
ing houses, has not yet c.ornc to ihe aver
age of pa*t years, but hopes are enter
tained that it will yet do so. The offer
ings of silks, both fancy and staple, are
very large, and all but very desirable
styles are easy to buy at some decline.
Few British goods have been pressed for
sale, but French and German goods are
in heavy surplus supply. The quantity
of shawls imported this season is unusual
ly large, and can be bought cheap. The
demand for the West i3 not sjo good as
was even expected, and was but small.
Domestic goods are comparatively steady,
but most goods have been sold in large
quantities at a concession in price. Cot
ton staple goods arc steady, but the de
clining price of the raw material, with
prospects of a very abundant crop this
year, is creating expectations of some de
cline in goods ordered for future delive
ry. At present stocks are not heavy.
Domestic woolens are active. Both de
laines and fancy cassimeres are firm. Silk
mixtures have ceased to be ‘desirable
goods’ at present, and therefore do not
participate in the general buoyancy of
the woolen domestic market.”
Effects of the late Storm in Bloklle.
The Register of the 17th says :
From all the accounts received, the
storm of Thursday night was more disas
trous els where than here ia the city. In
several of the stores on Commerce and
Front streets, above St. Francis, the wa
ter covered the floors, in some instances,
six or seven inches, to the injury of sugar,
flour, bagging, See., which occupied the
lower floor. Many of the merchants were
actually engaged in removing their goods
to the second stories, employed help at
the rate, per hand, of $2 an hour. Oth
er than this the damage was slight, being
coiifiued principally to the destruction of
| awnings, signs and window glass, and
j the flooring of a number of large and
! beautiful shade trees.
At Point Clear nearly all the iittle bath
| houses and wharves were swept away,
| and the sojourners were, much alarmed,
j Higher up, on the Eastern shore, every
I wharf and bath house, except Hudson’s
1 and Stark’s, is gone.
; In the neighborhood of Short’s wharf,
two oyster boats capsized, one of them the
| “ Sea Bird,” and two persons, names un
j known, were drowned. It. was only by
excellent management that the steamer
Junior, was saved thumping to pieces on
! the beach, whither she had been blown,
! dragging her anchor nearly a quarter of
a mile.
The steamer Flirt, which left for up the
river about half-past five, Thursday even
ing, returned before daylight yesterday
j jnorning with the loss of her chimneys.
The steamer Oregon, from New Or
i leans, reports that there was no light at
| Grant’s Pass, and that the large dredging
1 machine in use there had capsized. The
Oregon also mei the California early this
morning. She left here yesterday after
noon, but put into Fish River and remain
i ed there during most of the night.
A young gentleman happening to sit at.
church in a pew “adjoining one in which
sat a young lady for whom he conceived
a violent passion, was desirous of enter
ing iuto a courtship upon the spot; but
I the place not suiting a formal declara
-1 tion, the exigency of the case suggested
the following plan : lie politely handed
his fair neighbor a bible, open, with a pin
j stuck in the following text: — Second
Epistle of John, verse fifth—“and now!
beseech thee, lady, not as though 1 wrote
anew commandment unto thee, but that
which we had from the beginning—that
wjj love oue another.” She returned it,
pointing to the second chapter of Ruth,
verse tenth : “ Than she fell on her face,
and bowed herself to the ground, and said
unto him, why have I found grace in
thifie eyes, that thou shculdst take knowl
edge of me, seeing that 1 am a stran
ger?” He returned the book, pointing
to the twelfth verse of the Third Epistle
of Joint : “ Having many things to write
unto you, I would not write with paper
and ink, but I trust to come unto you,
and speak face to face that our joy may
be full.” From the above interview a
marriage took place the ensuing week.
Syracuse, Sept. 13. The attendance

TELEGRAPHIC! ITEM*
7Vamusoton, Sept. 12.—Mr. MrLaita
Was in official communication to day
with the Executive Department on busi
ness pertaining to his mission to- Mexico.
Further reliable advices from Vera
Cruz, dated the 31st of August, state
that the Constitutional Government had
paid the tail amount of (lie French
j claims out of the Customs receipts, being
$140,000. This money came into the
hands of M. Gabriac, the French Minis
, ur, who lias failed to distribute it in the
manner provide! in the Convention.—
There was reason to believe in official
quarters that he intended to invest it in
a private interest with Miramon. M ch
I indignation continues to be expressed
ag inst him by the French residents.
It is said that the failure of the treaty
between Mexico and the United States
was owing to the respective differences
relative to the clause for the protection of
the right of way proposed to be given to
j this Government, the latter claiming to
be the best judge when such protection
should be undertaken by itself and the
Juarez Government, bolding the right
that it should be exercised only in the
event of Mexico being incompetent, and
aft( r application for that purpose.
In the language -of a distirguishe 1
Mexican functionary, “the country is as
if there were no war, and from the inte
rior all is peaceable.”
Commander Maury is still engaged as
one of the Consulting Committee of the
Atlantic Telegraph Company in exam
ining the specimens of cables best suited

he, when a midshipman, was married to
an Owbyee Princess, is contradicted on
authority.

: ests of our citizens at Guayaquil demand
j ing protection : that the town was cvnc
uated by its inhabitants, and that its

was threatened—that Republic being at
war with Ecuador. Capt. Montgomery
says that unless otherwise directed, he
proposes visiting all the ports of Central

raguan Legation will remain in charge of
Senor Molino, the Costa Rican Minister.
Boston, Sept. 13.—The State Temper
ance Alliance Convention to-day was not
numerously attended, but many of its
most active advocates were present. A
lengthy address to the public, and a so
ries of resolutions were adopted, setting
forth the evils of the liquor traffic, ap
proving the Prohibitory Law, and urging
a stronger combination of the temperance
element of (he State, both morally and
politically.
Gen. Wilson, who presided, in a brief
opening speech, said: Twenty-seven years
ago be attended his first temerance meet
ing, and since that time lie had ever en
deavored to promote the interests of the
| holy cause of temperance by precept aud
1 encouragement, and most of all by Lis
I example. lie had seen, in twenty seven
years past, something of our country, aud
! had seen much of the blasting influence
!of intemperance. He ha 1 seen the finest
and strongest intellects, both from North
| and South, legislating under the influence
of intoxicating drinks, and had stood by
the graves of many, warm-hearted, noble
aud generous friends, whose lives had
been shortened by an indulgence in the
use of alcohol.

Esvct* or the Late alorm.
The Savannah New? of the 10th in?l.
says;
There Was a very heavy fail of rain
early yesterday morning, accompanied by
the most terrific thunder and lightning
we ever remember to have witnessed. We
learn that the ship Cocsawatrcc, lying in
our port, was struck by the ligh ning,
but not seriously damaged. Several trees
in the park were also struck, and the
plastering in the counting-room of Mr.
G. E. Csrleton, ou the Bay, was found
shattered, supposed to be the effect of
the subtie iluid. We heard, also, that a
ho: - • was killed by the lightning, but did
noi learn the owner’s name.
The Macon Daily Cit'zen says: Our
city was visited on Thursday night with
severe wind and rain, which continued
at intervals all night and through Friday
till one o’clock P. M. when it teemed to
have reached its achrne in a furious storm
of some half hour's continuance. Up to
‘.ho time of writing we have heard of no
Detprial damage having been done ; but
we fear our planting friends may be
somewhat injured.
The Montgomery Mail of Friday, says :
The rain commenced failing gently yes
terday, at 7 a. in., gradually increased
in volume during the day, and continued
all night. A strong wind sprang up early
in the night, which, together with the
rain, it is feared, lias destroyed-, much of
the open cotton in the fields. As we
write this morning, the clouds arc thick
and watery in appearance. There is a
good pro-p*.-ct for more rain.

Africans Reported in Barbour.
The Clayton Banner of the 15th, gives
a very amusing account of the excite
ment created in Barbour county, by the
report that forty freshly imported Afri
cans were in Pea River Swamp, near Mr.
M. D. Oliver’s, plantation in the vicinity of
Mt. Andrew. The following is an ex
tract:
Impelled by curiosity to see, the whole
neighborhood ■'’.most en masse turned out
to seek their location. The report spread
like the news of war; the alarm was
sounded in Clayton about noon on Mon
day. and some eight or ten of our citi
zens put out post haste for Pea River to
see the sight. Monday evening aud
night, were spent ia searching the whole
swamp back of Mr. Oliver’s plantation
was literally scoured by the people—no
less than fifty men crawled and dragged
themselves through the bushes, briers
and mud, without even seeing the slight
est trace of an African.
Tuesday morning the hunt was closed—
the men returned home sleepy and
drowsy with an expression of disappoint
ment on their faces, satisfied that no wild
Africans were in that portion of Pea River
swamp.

A Prolific Negro Family.
The Memphis Avalanche has discovered
amostprolific andcertainly well-branched
family. Such a family wouldn’t take
much time to stock all the plantations'of
the South with “hands.”
Tiie head of this family is now living
in Chickasaw County, Mississippi, on the
plantation of Colonel Duncan Hubbard,
and is now considerably over one hun
dred years of age. She was a woman and
a mother during the war of the Revolu
tion. Her name is Patsey.
The number of her descendants is tru
ly astonishing, she having no less than
three hundred and one living children,
grandchildren, great grandchildren, and
great-great grandchildren. A large num
ber of the descendants—perhaps one
third of the whole—have died. Her
oldest son, a robust, healthy man, died
recently at the age of ninety years, and
her youngest liviug child is over seventy
years old. One of her sons, “Uncle Bil
ly,” is the father of sixteen children, and
these children have now living eighty de
scendants. Patsey, the maternal ances
tor of all this army of men, women and
children, still lives in the enjoyment of a
ripe old age, snrrounded by every com
fort which a kind and indulgent master
can bestow, and respected by all who
know her, whites as well as blacks.
Attempted Suicide,
We have received intelligence of a
melancholy attempt at self-destruction
which occurred at Dudley ville, in Talla
poosa county, on Saturday last, the 10th
inst. It appears that on Friday night,
Mr. P. A. Wise —a gentleman personally
known to us, as a respectable and wealthy
merchant of that place—attempted to
end his mortal taking strych
nine. But the dose being sufficiently 7
large to produce vomiting, it did not take
effect On Saturday, he shot himself in
the head with a loaded pistol—the ball
entering the side of his head, and passing
out at the forehead after doing consider
able damage to the skull bones, and a
slight injury to his brain. He did not
die immediately, but since the melan
choly deed, be has been speechless, and
could therefore give no reason for the
act. It was at first thought that the
wound might not prove fatal, but at the
departure of our last intelligence—on
Wednesday evening—he was thought to
be rapidly sinking, and would probably
survive but a short time. Opelika (Ala.)

good red winter, and $1 05 for white.
Some small sales of both white and red

Frost—The Hog anil Corn Crops.
An intelligent merchant from Naples,
111., a rich region, prolific ia Corn and
Pork particularly, informs us that the
farmers are yet in doubt as to what is to
be the character of their corn crops. The
recent cold, unfavorable weather has been
very unfavorable to it. A fortnight’s
warmth will, however, make it all right.
He says the country was pretty well
cleared of Hogs last season ; but that
there is a fair supply of light young Hogs,
which, if the Corn ripen early, wi'l make
good Pork before wiDter is ove.. The

JUtitti* from Hail’ JefSigfson sjsyi* es
’ l AK I. AND, Mo.. Sept. 13 .IKV\
JMticr Staier, — Sir ; —ln your paper of
the Glh instant l find an essay ly the
lion. S. A. Douglas, ot. ‘-Popular Sover
eignty in the Territories,” and observe
that the author quotes from a tiisciusiou
between him and luy.eli’ ta the t ill of
1830 to establish a civil government for
the Territory of New Mexico, but his ex
tracts are so partial as to misrepresent
the position which I then and ever since
have held. I will not tax your eouitcs;.
by ashing for the use of your columns to
reply to the arguments of the essay, or to
vindicate the Democracy of the South
from the supposition that we are correctly
described in the classification of the pu
litical opinion o; the country on the sub
ject of Territorial government or to refute
his assumption that the existence of a
local law in New Mexico, which prohibi
ted ‘•slavery,” was an in disputed fact.—
Whoever refers to the debate front which
he quotes, will not fail to observe that it
was shown to have been not a municipal
law, but the result of a decree of a Dicta
tor of the supreme government of the
republic of Mexico, aud therefore, if law
at all, was the character of public or po
litical law, which it was contended was ;
repealed by the transfer of jurisdiction
to the United States, and the consequent
subjection of the Territory to the provis
ions of our Constitution. Hence the
comment which Mr. Douglas makes upon
the extract he selected from the remarks
of Mr. Clay and myself perverts the posi
tion which lie had full opportunity to
know was held by myself and others who
paticipated i:i the debate.
My objectin addressing you this letter
is to request that you will give to your
readers an additional extract from the re
marks of Mr. Douglas to Counteract the
impression which he made by the extract
already published.
Mr. Douglas thus quotes on himself.
With reference to the.protection of
property in slaves, Mr. Douglas said :
“ I have a word to say to the honora
: ble Senator from Mississippi, (Mr. Davis.)
lie insists that I am not in favor of pro
tecting property, and that his amendment
is offer-red for the purpose of protecting
property under the Constitution, Now,
sir, I ask you what authority he has for
assuming that ? Do I not desire to pro
tect property because I wish to allow the
people to pass such laws as they deem
proper respecting their rights to property
: without any exception ? lie might just
i as well say that I am opposed to protec
ting property in merchandise, in steam
boats, in cattle, in real estate, as to say
that I am opposed to protecting property
of any other description ; for I desire to
put them all on an equality, and to allow
the people to make their own laws in re
spect to the whole of theta.”
If, as thence is to be inferred, Mr.
Douglas wished to give to all equal pro
tection and security—if lie was opposed
to any exception, obstruction or discrim
ination against property in slaws, it will
naturally be asked, what, then, was my
position with which he so directly antag
onized ? The injustice of his extract is
made apparent by quoting further from
bis own remarks on the same point and in
j the same connection :
Mr. Douglas—But the Senator from
i Mississippi,says that he is contending for
a principle that requires Congress to pro
tect property, but that I am contending
against it. Not at all, sir. I desire to
give them such a government as will ena
ble them to protect property of every
kind and description. I wish to make no
exception. He desires to make an excep
tion.
Mr. Davis—Not at all, sir.
Mr. Douglas—The government cou
tendei for, authorizes them to protect
property in horses, in cattle, in merchan
dise, and property of every kind and de
scription, real and personal; but the
Senator from Mississippi says you must
exclude African slavery.
Mr. Davis—No, sir, I said no such
thing.
Mr. Douglas—He excepted
Mr. Davis—With the Senator’s permis
sion, I will explain. He is attacking the
bill, but I had nothing to do with the bill
except to try and better it.
Mr. Douglas—l begin to. discover my’
error. lam holding the Senator respon
sible for the work of the committee of
thirteen.
Mr. Davis (in the seat) —It was a very
great error.
I Mr. Douglas—l was making war Upon
him by mistake. I must pay my respects
to the committee of thirteen.
I will not extend this communication
by comment or reference to other por
tions of the debate and the votes by
which various propositions were decided.
I contended then, as now, for the equal
ity of the South in the right to enjoy the
common unappropriated domaiu; and
for adequate protection to all the consti
tutional rights of every citizen of the
United States. To this end I bope we
may yet attain.
Very respectfully, your obd’t servant,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Ruin to the Open Cotton.
The Montgomery Mail of the 17th,
says:
We are pained to hear of the wide
| spread ruin to the open cotton, caused by
! the storm of Thursday night. The tall
i cotton stalks were in many places blown
! down, thus soiling all the open cotton on
! the side next to the ground. Bolls that
were fully opeu had t heir contents blown
out and scattered thick upon the ground,
| and there pelted into the mud with the
driving rain. We cannot pretend to ex
press a surmise as to the extent of the
I damage, but have no doubt that it is ter
i rible. Our section has not been visited
by such a gale in the cotton-pickißg sea
! son for many years.

Columbus, Ga., September 20,1800. j
COTTON—The receipts yesterday were 431 hales,
ami sales 77 bales, as follows: 12 at 10%, ami (3
at 10%c.
Our market during tho east week has presented
s mewhat the activity of more advanced stages
of the business season. Our streets Lave been
very well supplied with planter’s wagons and
other vehicles, loaded with various articles of
produce on sale, and others taking in supj lies for i
the plantation. Our merchauts have been and |
are still busily engaged in receiving an S opening |
their fall and winter stocks, which, for variety and j
abundance, cannot be surpassed in any Southern j
inland city. Without any boasts, we think that ;
country merchants could subserve their interest ;
by consulting our merchants before making a
Northern trip.
C jTXON—The market for this staple article has
been better during the past week. The sales have
been.as follows: 4 bales at 10, 2a at 10%, 29 at
10.31, 23 at 10%, 238 at 10%, 319 at 10%, and 219
at lu%c„ making the total sales for the week 940
bales. A lot of 70 odd bales was sold during the
week which was not reported, thus making the
sales for the week over 1.000 bales. The market j
in the forepart of tho week was rather depressed,
but assumed a better slate towards the middle,
and closed with a very good feeling. The receipts j
for tho week are behind those for the same time |
last year, showing that the crop is not so early iu I
opening. During the week a severe blow passed
over our city, which lias doubtless done seri- i
ous injury to portions of the country ibrough
which it passed. We cannot pretend to estimate
the extent of the injury, as wo hare no informa
tion as yet as to the scope of country it p issed ]
over.
