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 t of delegates and others upon the Demo cratic Convention is very full, and the | discussions of questions at issue animated. It is conceded that delegates to Charles ton will be appointed, a large majoriiy of the delegates favoring that course.— The present State officers will be noroina | ted, except Tucker who decline* There are many conflicting interests,” especially about delegates, but these will be harmo nized, so that the Convention will be got through without seiious difficulty, aud its doings acquiesced in by all branches of the party, Fairchild, of Madison, or Stryker, of Oneida, wiil probably be tem porary, and Ludlow, of Suffolk, perma nent president. There is a large atten dance of the strong men of the party. Copper Sales in New York. Refined Ingot continues in good re quest ; sales ol 30 000 lbs. Baltimore and Lake Superior at 224 to 221 c. mostly at 23 to 234 c. The inquiry ter other de : scriptions is limited, but prices are well ’ maintained; 10,000 ibs. old sheathing j brought 201 to 21c. and 22,000 do old yellow metal at 123 to 13c. cash. 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 t r the ocean telegraph. The story that he, when a midshipman, was married to an Owbyee Princess, is contradicted on authority. The President has approved the sen tence of the Court Martial held at Utah, dismissing from the army Lieut. Lynde i of the Fifth Infantry for conduct unbe coming an officer and gentleman. The Brooklyn, late from Vera Cruz, but now at Mobile, has been ordered to proceed to New York. Mr. Appleton, Assistant Secretary of State, has returned to the city. Washington, Sept. 13.—The State De partment has received information from | our Minister at Berlin that Christian Ernst, an American naturalized citizen, who had been compelled by force to enter the Hanoverian army, has, upon the re monstrance of our Government, been dis charged from the service. Flag otlicer Montgomery, of the Pacific | squadron, writes to the Navy Department ! that Captain Kelly of the Saranac reports i that he could learn of no material inter : ests of our citizens at Guayaquil demand j ing protection : that the town was cvnc uated by its inhabitants, and that its j bombardment by the naval forces of Peru was threatened—that Republic being at war with Ecuador. Capt. Montgomery says that unless otherwise directed, he proposes visiting all the ports of Central ! America and Mexico as far north as Ma ! zetlan. Information has been received here that the steamers Cass-Yrissarri and Mary Frances, on San Juan river, Nica ragua, will be seized for debt. ; America Fire Company of Philadelphia, ! are receiving marked attentions. They 1 have been entertained by Col. Fkrence. On visiting the Executive Mansion to-day, the} 7 were warmly received by the Presi dent, who briefly responded to the pre sentation address, and to whom General Small replied. They visit Mount Vernon to-morrow. A large mass of documents have been received from Gen. Harney, relative to the San Juan Island dispute, embracing | copies of bis correspondence with Gover nor Douglass. There is no probability of the return of Gen. Jerez to Washington, but the Nica 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. Chicago, Sept. 12.-*-The Fair of the National Agricultural Society opened to day. The weather was splendid. The attendance is very large, and the pros • peels of the success of the exhibition are ! vei-y flattering, Upwards of 270 cows, bulls and calves; 200 sheep, mostly French and Spanish merinoes, and nearly one hundred horses, of the Black Hawk and Morgan stock are entered. The Me chanical and Agricultural Halls are filled to overflowing, and present a beautiful appearance. The books will be closed on i Wednesday, up to which time entries will | be made. New York, Sept. 13.—The Herald has news from Victoria to August 13, stating that both Gen. Harney and Gov. Douglas were concentrating all the forces at their disposal at San Juan Island. The Amer ican troops were still on shore. The Brit ish ships-of-war were in the harbor. It i§ reported that the British have de termined not to permit any more of our j troops to land. No British troops had landed, nor had steps been taken towards joint occupation. All the British troops | of the colony were hurrying to the spot. ! Gen. Harney had answered Gov. Douglas’ protest, and issued orders to concentrate I all the available forces in the Oregon De partment at San Juan, to re-inforce Capt. | Pickett. Affairs were extremely threat ening. Portland, Me., Sept. 12.—The City Government have made special arrange ments to do honor to the arrival of the Great Eastern. The programme includes a public dinner, ball, general illumina tion of the city’, ringing of bells, salutes of artillery, excursions in the harbor, military displays, and other manifesta tions of public rejoicing.

Williams, (Commander of the Brit ish forces in North America,) to the Gov ernors of the several States, and to the Executives of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, to visit Portland during the visit, of the Great Eastern. Halifax, Sept. 12. — A tremendous con flagration occurred in this city 7 early on Saturday morning. Two whole blocks on Granville street, numbering fifty build ings, and including thirteen extensive dry goods stores, were totally destroyed. The damage is not estimated, but it must nec essarily be very large. It is reported that three men were killed at the fire. gT. Louis, Sept. 13. —Papers by the , Utah mail give an account of the massa cre of emigrants at the Raft, in Oregon l iver, on the 25th of July, by a band of Bannock Shosone Indians. Six men and one woman were killed, and as many wounded—some mortally. The party 7 was robbed of $1,700 and their stock.

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. “ 1 - ♦ 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.) Era. Grain at Toledo. The receipts of grain for the past week have been as follows : Wheat 143,204 bush Corn 2,823 do Oats 2,C00 do Flour 19,552 bbls The shipments of the same period have been of Wheat: 128,223 bush Flour 15,929 bbls Prices of wheat closed languid at a very decided decline from last week’s prices, and may 7 now be quoted 94c. for good red winter, and $1 05 for white. Some small sales of both white and red have been made at 2c. per bushel below these prices. Flour has ranged at $4 50 to $4 75 for good brands, closing dull at $4 02 4.

Young man, woman teases as well as consoles. Womau makes half the sorrows which she boasts the privilege to console. Woman consoles, it is true, while we are young and band some; when we are old and ugly woman snubs and scolds us. On the whole, that, woman in this scale, and the weed in that, Jupiter, hang out the balance and weigh them both ; and if thoujgive the prefer ence to woman, all I can say is the next time Juno rutiles thee, O, Jupiter, try the weed.— Bulwer. 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 packing will therefore be carried on later than usual, and the quantity of hoas of fered early in the season will be small.— St. Louis Democrat. John M. Flournoy Dead. This gentleman, who has for several years past resided in our city, and been suffering from a cancer in his face, died at bis residence in Wynnton, yestc-rday.

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. - Chicago, Sept. 13.—The principal fea j ture of interest in the Fair to-day was the formal opening ceremonies.

COMMERCIAL DAILY SUN OFFICE, \ 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. STATEMENT OF COTTON I'OU WEEK ENDING SEPT. 17.
