LOCAL AFFAIRS. Dcaili of-, r. Mary K. Hamilton. We regret to learn from the Memphis Avalanche of the death of Mrs. Mary E. Hamilton, in that city on the morning of •he -lid. She was the wife r,f James Hamilton, Esq., formerly a citizen and member ot the liar of Columbus. Ac k o\v 1 edge m cut. We tender our thanks to the Empire Mills of our city, for a sack of their A. A. Hour. We are not prepared to speak fully and knowingly of its qualities, yet we shall he so prepared so soon as our more knowing helpmeet shall tell us what to say ot its qualities. 4. barge and Kice. We tender our compliments to Mr. Phelps, No. 88 Broad Street, for a prerent yesterday, of the largest and finest white head cabbage, it has been our pleasure to look upon this season. It weighs Bilbs. Duplicates can be had at his stand. - ♦ Gsn, Mirabean It. Ihamnr This distinguished son of Georgia— poet, statesman and warrior—whose name is so nearly identified with all the great deeds that secured the independence of Texas, has arrived once more amongst his old friends, and is stopping at the Perry House, lie is looking finely. Times of Saturday. We have been presented by Mr. Am brose Branuan, of Bussell counly, Ala., with a bottle of his whiskey. It has been much improved, and we feel justified in pronouncing it.superior. We learn he has recently greatly improved his facili ties for distilling, and is able to supply a large demand. The article produced by Mr. 15. is pure—a thing long needed by tho planters. Spalding iir.il Rogers’ Circus. By reference to the advertising col umns, it will be seen that the celebrated circus of Spalding & Rogers’ of New Or leans, will exhibit in Columbus, on Fri day and Saturday the 7th and Bth of Oc tober next. The amusements and diver sions of the ring are - so popular, that a simple announcement of the coming of a Circus is generally sufficient ; but in this case, tiio accounts we have seen in papers published where it has exhibited, say they perform all that they advertise. . Throwing Polionuus Substances in to tiie Streets. Mayor Wilkins informs us that com plaints have been made to him, that some of tho citizens who have the Mock Or ange growing in their yards, have thrown the trimmings into the streets. This tree is known to be very poisonous to some cattle, and a valuable cow was killed a few nights since, from eating the trim mings of trees, thrown from a citizen’s yard iuto the street. There is an ordinance prohibiting the throwing of poisonous or other substances into streets, and the Mayor says, when ever such cases arc presented to his Court, he will deal with them as the law directs. Persons having just cause of complaint from such causes, should pursue this course, as the Mayor cannot, of course, take any but official notice of them. Union Prayer Meetings. These interesting meetings are now held every morning at 8 o’clock and in the evening at 7 o’clock in the Methodist .Church. To-night only is there an ex ception. The Baptist Church is substi tuted to-night for the Methodist. The place of holding prayer alternates weekly between the ditferent Churches. The Ministers and lay members of the differ ent denominations feel much interested in these meetings, and believe they will do much good in this community. They expect particularly professors of religion to be punctual in their “ttendauce, and earnestly invite all to lay aside for one hour the secular employments of the day to advance the cause of Christ’s Kingdom. Times, [City.) Ur. Richard 11. Lockhart. We regret to learn of the death of this gentleman, which took place at Knox ville, Tenu., last week, while on his way to llogersville, Tenn. A few weeks since we shook him by the hand, when making his preparations to visit Montvale Springs to recruit his health. When he left our city wo did not anticipate his return as a cold and lifeless corpse, but expected to greet him with the return of frost in his usual health. Dr. Lockhart has been a resident of our city for about tea years past, and by his general urbanity of manners and kindness to the sick poor, he gained many friends, who will mingle their tears with those of a large and be reaved family circle. Our city looses a good member of society, one, whose plaoe it will be difficult to fill. Truly the ways of Providence are higher than man’s, and p\st finding out. Mr. Crisp !n Nasliville From the Nashville Weekly Gazette of of 22d inst., we learn that Mr. Crisp is winning golden opinions in that city in Lis management of the Gaiety Theatre- Our citizens will be gratified to learn that Mr. Crisp with his company of talented artists, will visit onr city early in the sea son, about the middle of October.— Amongst the names wbioh appear in his bills at Nashville, we notice some familiar names as well as several new oues. The Nashville papers speak in high terms of praise of every individual member of the corps We trust that we may not bo disappointed in an early visit from Mr. Crisp and his Company, and that he may make correct dramatic representa tions, one of the institutions of our city. Southern Independence. We return our thanks to Messrs. Ellis & Livingston, for a handsome water pitch er, manufactured in South Carolina, from a species of clay called hooline. The spec imens ou exhibition at the auction room of Messrs. Ellis & Livingston, arc very fine, resembling in appearance the white granite ware, so much praised by some house keepers, and is equal to it in weight. The public and the ladies e.-pecially are invited to call and examine the specimens. By the way, what piece of ware was that which brother Martin refused to accept ? Will he please euljghtcn us, as we are dy ing to know 1 -prayer Meetings in New York. The Journal of Commerce says: A Business Men’s inion Daily Prayer Meet ing Convention is to be held in the great hall of the Cooper’s Institute, September 20, at half past 7 p. m. The sessions are to be held from day to day, at 9 a. m., p. m , 7i p. m. Objects :—to promote the spirit of prayer —to disseminate truth —and to establish Union Daily Prayer Meetings every where. Sunday nights to be devoted to, and tipie occupied, by men of the sea. Happiness. There arc two things which will make us happy in this life, if we attend them. The first is. never to vex ourselves about what we cannot help, and the second, never to vex ourselves about what we can help. The Illinois State Journal says; We are informed that sales of corn in the field have to some extent been made at $5 and $0 per acre. Before the late rains, the price asked w T as $9 per acre. Sacred Music. We profess to an enthusiasm in music, wherever we hear it or whenever it? sweet dulcet, strains come wafted to the sen e-. I D awakens all that is good and j tire with in our nature, and mikes us look away from nur low eensu and existence to o t lle pure and-seraphic. Secular mu>, -, due.-. I not altogether accomplish so much in our | feelings, but when the sweet nud plain , live tones of the Organ, combined with tnoilow and ricb human voices, come gent ly tdeu!in . over us, it fills cur soul with , tnutmeg, such as language cannot ex press and the pen falters in the descrip tion. It was our happiness to attend divine service at the Episcopal Church of our city on ia-t Sabi.at h afterti'on, and at the close of the service, the minister read a hymn, appropriate to the closing of the day, ‘-Softly now the light of day fades upon iny sight away,” just as the last glimmering rays of the setting suu was thrown upon the house tops, imparting a l golden hue to surrounding objects. The | choir seemingly impressed with the fitness of the poets words and the occa sion, sang forth in a soft sweet and plain-, j Live melody, which seemed to doubly im press every heart with the lact. Me were in none other than the house of God and near the very portab of Heaven, we went away from that holy sanctuary, a’ better man, with more love to our kind and l more charity for the cold and cheerless ‘world outside. Who can estimate the I etfect of sacred song upon the hearts of the | multitude? The Minister may speak nev- j j er so eloquently, his words may burn upon | | the hearts of the listener, and he may feel truly that he is a stranger and wanderer from his fathers house ; then comts the sweet song to bring him back, in mercy to an injured God ; as if our Heavenly Father had given the faculty of music to keep the convicted sinner from deeds of desperation. May the time soon come when every church and every fireside will acknowledge and cultivate in its purity this Heavenly gift. Tiie Baptist Cliurcli. We were shown yesterday, a drawing, ] executed by Mr. A. C. Kirven, of our city, j -for anew steeple and spire, for the Bap- j tist Church which is now in course of erection in our city. Mr. Kirven is a* practical mechanic, and has been raised | in our midst, and it affords us much grat ification to notice the developments of such native talent among our young j men. It is proposed to alter the plan of j the building we learn, so as to change j the original design, to the draft of Mr. Kirven, or one similar. His drawing re- ! presents 274 feet from the base of the | Church to the top of spire, and will cost | between §ISOO to $2,000 additional. This i amount i3 a bagatelle in comparison to | the desirable addition it will be to the building. The drawing reliects great | credit upon the gentleman, and we hope ; will open the way for further drawing from his pencil. We hope the Committee will adopt his plan. Put us down ten dollars gentlemen. m A .Judicious Selection. At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Muscogee Bail Road on Wednes day last, W. L. Clark, Esq. (for many years master machinist of the Company) was elected Superintendent of the Hoad for the present fiscal year. This office has heretofore been filled by the Presi dent himself, but his duties becoming too onerous and complicated for one man to perform, it was wisely determined to separate the offices, and the Directory made a wise choice in the election if Mr. Clark as Superintendent. We clip the above from the Enquirer of Monday morning, and add our testimony as to the good taste manifested in the appointment of Mr. Clark to the Superintendency of the Muscogee Rail Road. If a long and successful period of service in rail roads can make a man competent to manage them properly, then Mr. Clqrk is just the man for the place to which ho is appointed. Wee ngratulate the stockholders in the road, our mer chants and the traveling public on the appointment. A Good Example. Next to elegant buildings, nothing contributes more to the neatness of a city than the appearance cf its side walks. So great has been tlie pressure of business in our city the present and preceding seasons, that little time could be appropriated towards the improve ment of pavements. We are gratified, however, to observe a gradual change in this particular. One or two mer chants and other business men, have replaced the old and rough bricks with entirely new ones, which adds much to the appearance of their places of busi ness. We are rejoiced to see this. Noth ing is more disagreeable in this era of high heeled shoes than a brick pavement worn rough and jagged by time, and un less there is a general desire to inaugu rate a change of fashion in this particu lar, there will be soon, we are confident, a general attention to the condition of side-walks. There is something so neat and invit ing about a smooth pavement,that we hope the desire for renovating them will be come a mania. Bequest to Girard College. The Directors of Girard College- have received information that Lawrence Tod, a citizen of Macoupen county, Illinois, who died some weeks since, has devised his estate to the institution. It appears that Tod, who was of Danish parentage, came to this country at an early age, and adopted the sea as his profession. As the captain of a packet running between Philadelphia and New York, he became well acquainted with the character and 1 history of Stephen Girard, and seems to 1 have carried to the West, where he went soon after, a most exalted idea cf the 1 disposition which Girard made ‘of his estate. With this feeling he has devised to the college his estate, which will amount, if not impaired by litigation or accident in its settlement, to about SBO,- ’ 000. Tod was unmarried, and had no ! relations in this country, except a broth er, who, by a singular coincidence, died in a distant part of the State only two ! days hes. re Lawrence.— Philadelphia Led ! ffer. Large Greek Contract. We learn from tlie New York Journal of Commerce that the American Bank Note Company of that city, has just com pleted a contract for the National Bank of Greece, providing that institution with notes of various denominations, engraved iu the highest style which the art has yet attained in any country. This is the first contract of any magnitude, for bank cote engraving, ever executed iu this country tor any European Government, and, hav ing been awarded to United Stales en gravers, contrary to all precedent, and in face of the strong competition offered by the engravers of Europe, may very naturally be construed as a high compli ment. to American art.—.V. O. Bulletin. Tlie Ship Hclione. New Orleans, Sept. 24.. —The ship llehone and her cargo were totally 7 de stroyed by fire last night. The loss is estimated at one hundred and fifty thou sand dollars. The ship Ilelione was an American vessol of 1,133 tons burthen, i She had been repaired, rnd was staunch I in every respect. Kansas State Constitution. Leavenworth, K. TANARUS., Sept. 24.—The returns received at this place, so far, in dicate a majority against the State Con ! stitution. Tlie Kentucky Millionaire. Tiie late Robert WickliiTe was one or , the most, extraordinary meu this count! y has produced. A native of Virginia, he emigrated to Kentucky when a youth— pool, unlettered —and at first earned his . bread as a day laborer, his compensation for each day'.- hard toil being only* the paltry sum of fifty cents! and yet thi> poor, hmd working youth, became r.Ti ’ eminent lawyer and statesman, and when lie died, lie was the richest man in Kcn | lucky, being wortli several millions of j dollars. He owned several hundred ne groes, and in Fayette county alone, five hundred broad acres of the soil belonged !to him. The Paducah Herald remarks j of Mr \Vicklitfe, that as a laborer he was j noted for his faithfulness, his industry, ■ and the amouir of work which he couid ’ perform. At the whip saw he was un equalled, and on many occasions he cut . down the timber and split out five hun- I dred rails a day. In the palmiest days of his popularity and wealth he never j ceased to boast of his achievements as a I laborer. He studied law, while a labor i er, at night, by the light of the fire ; and | when first admitted to the bar he gave j but small promise of attaining the posi , tion which he afterwards won. But in dustry ana perseverance never fail of success, and it was verified in a signal manner in the case of Mr. IVickliife. Time very soon demonstrated that his studies had developed a very high order of genius, of which his friends had not con ceived him possessed, and which only needed this culture to place him at the head of the bar in Kentucky, lie was truly a great man : and in every respect was a better man than the world gave him credit of being. He had bitter ene mies who did him great injustice ; but he ! had many warm friends.— Philadelphia , Argus. Ah Aerial Sliip. All aerial ship called the “City of New’ York,” intended for a transatlantic voy age, has been in the course of construc tion for some months past inthe vicinity of New York, and is now so nearly com pleted that she will be ready to under take the trip in October. The aeronaut who has charge of the enterprise is Mr. Low-e, of New Hampshire, who has made several successful ascensions. The di mensions of the ship are greater than those of any balloon previously built. The capacity of the gas receiver is 725,- 000 cubic feet. The aggregate height of the balloon from the valve to the bot tom of the boat, is upwards of three hun dred feet. Mr. Lowe proposes to go di rectly from New York to Loudon, in for ty-eight to’ sixty-four hours. Dropping below r the basket is a metalic life boat in which is placed an Erricson engine ; its particular purpose is the control of a propeller rigged upon the principle of the screw, by which it i.s proposed to ob tain a regulating power. The applica tion of mechanical power is ingeniously devised. The propeller is fixed in the bow of the life boat, projecting at an angle of about forty-five degrees from a wheel, at the extremity of which twenty fans radi ate. Each of these fans is five feet in length, widening gradually from the point of contact with the screw, to the extremity where the w’idth of each is one and a half feet. Mr. Lowe claims that by the application of these mechanical contrivances, his air ship can easily be raised or lowered to seek different cur rents of air, that they will give him sim ple steerage way, and that they will pre vent the rotary motion of the machines. Iu Hunt's Merchants’ Magazine for Au gust there is an article which labors to show that the canals have seen their palmiest days ; that, henceforth, tht*y cannot pay their way, still less ever be able to discharge the indebtedness creat ed on accouut of their construction. The reasoning by which the writer reaches this gloomy conclusion is, that powerful com petitors arc in the field with them; that in our fast age railroads are sure to sup plant them, as telegraphing supersedes posting by mail, and express companies run off with the railroad business. The New York Times says, “the illustration is a very good one, and when the writer shows that the telegraph has rendered the mail bags useless, or that the express companies have ruined the railroads, we shall be prepared to agree that the railroads of New York have killed the ca nals. There is no road in the country better prepared to carry all the freight that offers than the New York Central.— But during the past year, along the line of that admirably arranged carrier, there was in the busy seasons more freight offer ing than it could carry without long de lays. With all its great facilities, its ton nage of freight in 1858 amounted to but 705,407 tons. During the same year the canals of the State carried 3,065,192 tons. Were the canals filled up, the freight seeking outlet in this direction would task half a dozen Central Rail Roads to their uttermost capacity.” Trade an! Commerce of Cincinnati. The products of the various manufac turing departments of Cincinnati are valued for the present year at $112,254,- 000. Iu the boot and shoe trade there are twenty-four wholesale, and three hundred and seven retail houses. The book publishing trade is valued at $2,- 000,000. In the clothing trade, there are sixty-sis houses in the wholesale business, and the value of the clothing manufactured is estimated at $15,000,000. In the dry goods business, there are for ty-four wholesale, and one hundred and ninety-four retail houses. The value of the furniture manufactured is set down at $5,587,000. The value of the export last year was $91,906,506. The tonnage of barges running between Cincinnati and other ports, is 10,459; of steamers, G2,7G8. Cincinnati publishes yearly a ! full statement of its trade and commerce, i the facts being much more reliable and full than any census report which the general government has ever made. The Builder’s Strike in London. The consequence of the strike in Lon i don is beginning to be severely felt. The London Morning Star, referring to the subject, says : It is lamentable to see the evidences of the Builder’s Strike which meet the eye all over the metropolis. Great works are I suspended—groups of operators are go • ing about with nothing to do—and mas ters have no outlet for their capital, and no means of fulfilling their contracts. ; Here and there a contractor appears to give way, or, at ail events, to effect an accommodation with workmen, but on . both sides the strike may be described as general, with little hope of any side y : ekling iu the struggle. Supplies con , tinue to be sent from the country to the operatives; but these funds are not much 1 amoDg so many, and wives may be seen visiting the pawn shops while their hus bands are walking the streets. >+ Serious Accident. On Monday night last, between 10 and 11 o’clock, at the store corner of In dian street lane and Farm street, occupied , by Stephen Ilendlon, a serious and, per haps, fatal accident occurred. It appears that Mr. 11. was attempting to fill a fluid , lamp, while lighted, when it exploded.— ffm. Hughes, and a Mr. Butler were in the store at the time, the former of whom was so badly burnt about the body, that his recovery is considered doubtful.— Ilendlon was burnt about the hands and face, and Butler also received some slight injuries. This is another warning to those who use fluid lamps, not to fill them while they are lighted.— Sav. yews. ♦ A Lost Judge. Judge Littlejohn, of Michigan, accom panied by’ Attorney Standish, left Ne waygo for Traverse, on the 30th of August. The distance is 90 miles, through the woods—not a single habita tion intervening. They took three days’ provision with them. When about half way, they lost the “trail” and themselves; and were six days in the woods before they found their way back to the place from whence they started. Pacific Railway Settlement. Marshall, Texas, Sept 23— President Fowlkes of the Pacific railway has just concluded a final settlement with the new company and the creditors. He has ob tained full possession of the road, and will ! re-commence work immediately. ARRIVAL. THE jJT IIA M h)'. NORTH AMERICA. Farther Point, Sept. 25 —The steam* r North America arrived to-day with Liv erpool dates to the 14th. She brings the following report of the markets. Sales of Cotton for three days lb.UUtt bales, the market is dull and easier but unchanged, some sny declined l-10d.— Breadstuffs advancing. Corn and pro visions steady. Consuls 95J to 95]-. Os the Cotton sales, Speculators took 1000 bales, and exporters 2,500. Advices from Manchester are favorable, opened quiet nDd closed dull. General Intelligence. —The Chinese war has been renewed, and a bloody con flict taken place. The Chinese arc out in great strength, and prevented the al lied squadron with their Ambassador, from entering Pci ho. Nearly 500 British were hilled and wounded, and fire gun boats lost. The allies were forced to re treat. It was reported that the American Am bassador, Mr. Ward, had reached Pekin unmolested. The feedpipe on board the Great East ern had exploded with terrific force kill ing five firemen and wounding many oth ers. The damage to the fillings were se rious, but the machinery was unharmed. ONE DAY LATER FROM EUROPE. ARRIVAL OF THE CITY OF BALTIMORE. Cape Race, Sept. 25.—The steamship city of Baltimore has arrived, with Liv erpool dates to the 15th inst. Sales cf Wednesday, 6,000 bales, of which speculators and exporters took 1.000. Market closed dull. Consols were quoted at 95£ to 951. Breadstuffs were advancing. Provis ions very dull. Wheat advancing. Corn steady. Sugar quiet. London, Wednesday night.—Consols 951. Sugar heavy. Teas of all kinds slightly advanced. Scott Russell had contracted to have the Great Eastern ready for sea in three weeks. The English and French fleets were be fore Pekin, in China. Combined, they number two ships of the line, seven large steamers, and fen gun boats, It is be lieved, however, that nearly a year must elapse, before anything decisive will be attempted, owing to the insufficiency of the land forces. It was supposed there would be no interruption to the (ea trade. Washington New?. Washington, Sept. 23. —Perry McD. Collins, Esq., consular agent at Amoor river, Asiatic Russia, has arrived in this city, and expects to sail in the course of a few days, on his return thither, by the way of St. Petersburg. It appears from his statements, that American commerce at the Amoor is steadily increasing, several ships having sailed from the United States to partici pate this year, in its rich trade. They have taken out assorted cargoes of mer chandise, including cotton goods, wines, liquors, ships’ stores, and chandlery, all kinds of hardware, machinery, steam engines, etc. There are now on the waters of the Amoor, five steamers, built in this country. A Russian officer, Capt. l)avaudoff, at present in New York, is superintending the construction of steam engines and machinery, to be placed in gun boats, to be constructed on the Amoor, which is navigable for steamboats at least twenty-five hundred miles. The climate is similar to North-west Canada, and the agricultural productions about the same. The principal value of the country’, as yet developed, is for its furs and minerals; but when the steam com munications shall be fully established, the trade will be immeasurably increased iu other productions, and Siberia and Tartary will add its treasures to of the Amoor country. From Moscow to the head of the Amoor, a distance of four thousand miles, are upward of five hun dred cities, towns, and villages of indus trious inhabitants. The Amoor Company this year sent to the Amoor river three or four vessels, with full cagoes, together with iron steamers to initiate their pro ject, namely:. To unite the mouth of the Amoor with Siberia by a regular lino of steam packets. The recent ukase of the Emperor of Russia, permitting Liberian exiles to emigrate to the Amoor, is with a view of settling the shores of that river, and de veloping the resources of the country’. The construction of rail roads is contem plated; and also lines of telegraph, con necting with Moscow and other distant points. All these movements of the Russian Government are regarded with great in terest, as they caunot fail to open to American commerce a large and valuable market to many of our manufactures. Considering our diversified interests, in cluding those of whaling in the North Pa cific, and contiguous to Siberia and the Amoor, the opinion prevails that we should have a Cousul General, instead of a consular officer of comparatively insig nificant grade with an insufficient salary. Later from Mexico. New Orleans, Sept. 23—We have re ceived dates from Monterey, to the 80th ult. General Zuagua is at Monterey confer ing with Gen. Vidurri, General Veles, with seven hundred men and four guns, is in possession of Guena jole. lie has banished a large number of Liberals. Miramon was arming forty-three hun dred men in the Northern j art of Mex ico. Ship on Fire. New Orleans, Sept. 23—The ship Heli one caught fire this afternoon ; she has on board two thousand bales of cotton; she was loading for Liverpool. The ship was towed out into the stream and scuttled. Re-arrest of Toledans. New Orleans, Sept. 23—Toledans has been re-arrested on an affidavit for the kil ling of Dr. Graham. He will have a full examination. Latest from Lake Superior—A Severe Mail Storm. The fine Detroit steamer “Illinois” ar rived from Lake Superior yesterday morn ing. A correspondent writing from the Min nesota mine, under date of Sept. 11th, says : “Yesterday we had a hail storm here that for violence has never been equaled. The hail fell thick and heavy for about twenty minutes, some of the stones being seven inches in circumference , and weighing four ounces The storm then abated for a time, and those who had the lights of glass in the windows of their houses broken, proceeded to replace them by others: but their haste availed them nothing, fora second storm came on fiercer than the first. It lasted half an hour, and the glass that was not demol ished by the first storm had to suffer. One piece of ice was found that weighed a half pound. The effects of the storms were only lelt within a small space, as in places one mile distant from this no bail fell. At this mine and in the immediate I should think three thousand panes of glas have been broken.— Detroit Advertiser , 20/A. American Stock Abroad. The New York Herald says, there is an active movement of American Stocks from London to this market for re-sale. The sad result attending the management of the affairs of the Erie Rail Road Com pany has disgusted the holders of our Stocks iu Europe. Mr. George Peabody, himself an American, has sent all his in terest home for realization, and one lead ing and eminent commission bouse in that city has been selling for Mr. Pea body’s account both New York Central and Illinois Central Rail Tkcad Stocks. Within the last week much has been sold and more has been offered. Even United States Government securities have been sent hither from London. Chicago, Sept. 18—In the easeofHus se3 T vs. McCormick, for an infringement of the patent for the cutting apparatus of a reaping machine, tried recently before Judges McLean and Drummon, a decision was given to-day in favor of the plaintiff, Hussey.

Heavy groceries have cot begun to. come on yet, iu constquence of the uncertainty of our river. This disadvantage under which our city has been laboring for so many years past, is pa;- tally overcome in the construction cf steamers which can run on almost any stage of water.

So far the staple is very fine, and commands ;lie fullest market rates, showing that the dry time through WhiClrit past, if it canttd a lots in quan tity made up fully in quality.

We cannot close this article without a word to planters who desire to send their cotton to our city. The dhastrouu file which consumed two of our largo warehouses last spring, may have led tome to believe that we did net have storage ca pacity for their cotton this year. This is a mis’ take. There are now in course of construction three largo and commodious buildiEgs, capable cf housing safely 30,0C0 bales of cotton, and they will be completed long before tho three old ones are"full. No planter need have any fears of his cotton taking the weather. Send in your cotton gentlemen, we can house it for you and sell it at excellent prices.
