SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 2
FOR GOVERNOR,
HON. HERSCHEL V, JOHNSON.
Os Baldwin County.
SEE FfkST PAGET
The Nominations for Governor.
As soon as the name of the Hon Herschsl
V. Johnson was announced as the Democratic
nominee toi Governor, he \??s assailed coarsely
and with most vindictive bitterness by many of
the Whig prei>3. As his fine talents, and his
pure and elevated character place him above the
reach of such assailants, we refer to it now
as merely a matter of taste for the consideration
of ge> 'emen. As in better taste and quite as
much truthfulness, we copy the following from
the Sandersville Georgian , whose editor is a
Democrat, and was a member of the Convention
that nominated Judge Johnson :
“ How do the nominations fake with the peo
ple of your section ? This is the question now
being asked very generally by all parties, and
we will attempt to answer for this section as
well as we can. They take finely, both parties
are in high spirits, and view their nominees as
the very pinks of perfection, so to speak, and
their maximum of political orthodoxy. Both
of them are honorable,high-minded, talented gen
tlemen. widely esteemed for their moral worth,
as exhibited in their private and public charac
ters. In their histories no stain of reproach can
blot the fair record of their lives. They stand
without blot or blemish, and he is a madman
who will attempt to charge either of them with
any thing that is not perfectly consistent with
truth, virtue and honor, and an honest people
will frown upon every attempt to disparage
their private characters. When parties claim
ing to advocate great political principles, turn
aside to vilify and scandalize an opposing cat di
late, they pay but a poor tribute to the truthful
ness or correctness of their principles, and are
r.ot entitled to the confidence and respect of the
people. We have seen but one Press in the
State that has intimated a willingness to enter
this warfare, and that is the Savannah Republi
can. which charges Judge Johnson with being a
believer in “ Spiritual Rappings,” &c. It might
have gone farther and charged him with being
a believer in infant baptism, or baptism by im
mersion, or any other article of dispute in Chris
tian faith : does it thereby disqualify him from
being a citizen of the Government, entitled to
all its rights and immunities in the worship of
God, or the service of his State, either as a voter,
or a candidate for the suffrages of the people ?
Every’ one knows it is not, then why drag it
into party strifes? The Telegraph of Macon,
however, denies upon authority the of the
charge. We publish the foregoing in justice to
Judge Johnson, whom we personally esteem,
and would do as much for his respected oppo
nent, Mr. Jenkins, for whom we shall ever hold
the highest personal regard.
“ We have said, however, much more than w r e
intended in commencing this article—we will
add. that the nominations are received here
with universal approbation by each party. They
are the men of their choice. In October, Wash
ington will give a full vote ; every one will go
to the polls when such candidates are presented.”
The following is from the Savannah News.
the editor of which is, in politics, a mere looker
on, a gentleman as good tempered as he is in
telligent, and who always shows a due regard
for the proprieties of life :
'• Both parties have now chosen their leaders
in the political campaign which is just opening
Both have chosen distinguished, honorable, and
patriotic citizens, worthy to fill the high station
for which they contend. It is to be hoped, for
the honor of the State, that the canvass will be
conducted in proper spirit of moderation and
mutual lorbearanre, and that the deliberate judg
ment, and not the prejudice l and passions of the
people, will be appealed to in the decision of the
question which of the two shall be invested with
the dignity and authority of Chief Magistrate
of our noble State. If the supporters of the
iespe«*tive candidates would consult their wishes
and feelings, we are confident that the contest
wou d be conduc ed with a magnanimous spirit,
free from the intemperate zeal, party rancour,
and bitter personalities, which too often charac
terize our popular elections, greatly to the dis
| credit of our people and our free institutions.”
The Real Agitators.
We commend the following .article from the
Washington Union to the candid consideration of
ali those whigs who have nothing to make and
something to lose by the agitation of the slavery
question. The cap here [ heed on the head of
the Washington Republic, is a first rate fit for the
Whig presses in Georgia, now engaged in the
work of agitation:
*• The abolitionists can afford to rest. George
Thompson may be at his ease in Tower Hamlets.
G«rrison can afford to abate his abuse of the Bi
ble. and the fools and fanatics of Exeter Hall,
London, who fulminate against our southern
States, can temporarily adjourn, as the work of
agitation against the institutions of fifteen States
of this Union has been taken out of their hands,
and is now attended to with great unction by
the whig newspapers of the United States. The
Washington Republic has the lead in this labor
of love, and is happy in doing the work which
the abolitionists fee! they could not do half so
well—the work of arousing bitterness among
people of the North and South preparatory
to the new anti-slavery crusade.
“ While the comnr mise measures were being
discussed and adjusted, it will be remembered
that there was a sturdy opposition on the part
of certain political gamesters, who desired to
keep the slave dispute alive. Thi* was the se
cret of the indifference to the measures of many
of the whig leaders, and the opposition to General
Pierce is produced by the mortification which
they feel as they contemplate the happy results
of those great acts of peace. None of this op
position, however, is the distrust of Gen. Pierce
himself on the question most important to thS*
South. There is not an abolitionist in the land
that does not know that the most powerful ad
versary to sectionalism is the present Executive,
and even those whigs who profess to be in favor i
of the principles of the Compromise do not ven -
ture to express the slightest doubt of the patri- J
otic determination of General Pierce to resist
every attempt to interfere with anv portion of
these measures of justice, including the rigid en
forcement of the fugitive shve law.
* The republic, with those who join in these
malignities against the administration, is mor
tifiei that the compromise measures have pro
duced tranquilizing results ; but chiefly because
General Pierce has seized the happy moment to
unite all upon the great principles which gave
us these measures. At the hazard, then, of
arousifg anew the resentment always sure to
result from such discussions, and with no object
hut that which belongs to the lowest grades of
partizanship. the Republic lends itself to the abo
lition leaders to agitate the slave question, and
to assail an administration pledged before God
and man to stand by the rights of the South
whenever or however assailed. It is doubtful
which is the more degrading of the two—the
office which the Republic has so subserviently
assumed, or the object it so unscrupulously pur
sues. J *
The Harmonio Minstrels.
This Corps of Southern Performers, it will
be seen, propose giving three Concerts incur
city next week. The company was made up
in Savannah, and previous to appearing before
the public gave a rehearsa!,at which the Press of
that city, and several citizens were present,
which gave great satisfaction. Since then they
have performed in Savannah, Macon and Colum
bus, to good audiences, and are highly spoken off
by the press.
Gen. Cass says, “ The fact is indisputa
ble, that England went to war with Burmah,
and annihilated its political existence, for the
of a disputed demand of £9OO,
Hon Yelverton P. King.
It was not until yesterday we learned that
the Honorable Yelverton P. King returned to
his residence at Greensboro’, from his mission to
New Grenada. He has been for the last two
years at Santa Fe de Bogota, the seat of gov
ernment of that State as Charge d Affairs ot
this Government. We understand from a friend
who has had the pleasure of meeting Col. King,
that he returns in fine health and spirits, and
stored with a great deal of interesting informa
tion relative to the Central and South American
States.
As an indication of the esteem in which this
gentleman is held by his fellow citizens and
neighbors of Greensboro’, we will
we were on the Georgia Railroad cars
or two before his arrival, on our way to
ville. On reaching the Greensboro’ s£ia(.U %
about 10 o’clock, we were surprised to (pe : -r s i
large a collection there. It seemed as (jf tin
whole town, of every age, sex, and
was assembled for some unusual occasion. Upon-,
inquiring, we were told that Col. King w’as exf;’
pected that night, and his friends and neighbors ’
were out to greet him and welcome him hornet
It was an interesting and an eloquent
It spoke of one who had left such pleasing im
pressions behind him, that all remembered him
most kindly and were glad to welcome him
warmly as he came back to the peaceful walks
of village life. How much more grateful a scene
like this, to the eye and to the heart of the re
turning traveller from distant lands than alt the
hollow pageantry of courtly life?
It was a still, bright, moonlight night, and in
the expectant crowd we saw not masculine forms
alone, but more than one fair form and lovely
face: and glowing lips were there, eager to
speak the warm words of welcome—welcome
home. They were destined to temporary disap
pointment, however. But the scene was re
newed another evening of that week, on which
occasion Col. King received the unostentatious
and heartfelt greetings of his rejoicing friends.
University of Georgia.
In the May number of the University Maga
zine is an interesting historical sketch of the
State University. We extract the following
The original endowment of the University
was 40,000 acres of public lands, granted bv the
Legislature during its session in Savannah, in
1784, a few months after the ratification of the
treaty of peace. The lands were located by
Surveyors, in what are now Hancock, Greene.
Oglethorpe, Clark, Jackson, and Franklin coun
ties, and in the fork of the Tugalo and Seneca
Rivers. By the Beaufort treaty, 5,000 acres be
tween these rivers fell within the domain of
South Carolina, and in consequence of the Trus
tees not making the necessary report to the gov
ernor of that State, were entirely lost. The re
maining 35,000 acres, excepting a small portion
sold in 1803, at very low prices, were leased out
in large parcels at mere nominal rates, greatly to
the injury of their productive value, until 1816.
when they were sold on credit, for about $120,-
000. The State assumed the collection of these
notes, and advanced on them the amount o:
SIOO,OOO, to be vested in bank stock, as a per
manent fund, and guaranteed' it should yield 8
per cent. We think most, if not all of these
notes, have been collected. The money realize.!
by the sale of the land so generously bestowed
by Governor Milledge, amounted to about $30,-
000, half of which was immediately expended
upon paying the debts and expenses of the Col
lege. In October, 1830, a large and capacious
four-story building, with rooms and dormitories
appropriate for the accommodation of students,
consumed by fire, which had cost upwards ot
$20,000. Soon after this the Legislature made
a loan of SIO,OOO for the construction of another
building, and also an annuel appropriation ot
6,000 for defraying its expenses, enlarging its
library, apparatus &c., out of which, however,
the Trustees, after having accomplished the above
object as far as possible, were to pay back to the
State, sr,ooo a year until the loan should be re
turned. In 1842, the Legislature withdrew the
annual appropriation entirery. In consequence
of the suspension of College exercises from 1816
till 1819, a surplus fund accumulated, by the aid
of which the debts of the institution were paid,
the buildings repaired, the library increased, and
the philosophical and chemical apparatus greatly
enlarged.
The following approximate statistics may be
of interest to our readers.
The value of College Property may be thus
condensed :

From the foregoing statistics of the resources
of the College, it will be perceived that the in
come exceeds the expenses by about one thou
sand dollars, which is a matter of sincere con
gratulation, when we review the many difficul
ties that have been encountered. And the above
catalogue of distinguished and useful Alumni,
will show that our State has just reason to be
proud of her Institution. Our limits will not
permit us to continue the subject any further at
present, and we must therefore defer, until an
other time, the remarks we intended making,
relative to the support the College receives, and
its claims to patronage. We may be allowed,
however, to say in conclusion, that the support
first given, was all the State at that time could
bestow ; but that since 1842,the Legislature has
not done as much as the College had a light to
claim. Without any design to impugn the mo
tives of the actors in that scene, we must say,
that the withdral of that small annual support,
is a stain upon the escutcheon of Georgia legis
lation ! It should forthwith be wiped out by an
appropriation commensurate with the wealth,
prosperity, and dignity of the Empire State of
the South.
Mr. Cnylsr W. Young’s Address.
This address is sent to us as an advertisement,
and is published as such. We abstain from
comment upon it at present.
Tae Goncordia Concert Troupe
Give their last Concert this evening. As our
citizens seldom have the opportunity in this
city, of enjoying such good music, it is worth
their while to avail themselves ol the pleasure

Faviliion Hotel, Savannah.
Our readers will find in our advertising col
umns,the Card ot Mr. Wm. P. Clark,Proprietor
of the aboveliouse. We take pleasure in recom
mending this house under its present manage
ment, to the travelling public. We spent a few
days in it on our last visit to Savannah, and were
very much pleased with its air of gentility, ar.d
its neat and orderly arrangement. It possesses
much of the quiet comfort of a private residence,
and the table is supplied with all the luxuries of
the market, and is served in the best style.
Small Bills. —The Proprietor of the Adver
tiser takes this occasion to give notice to all per
sons K who are indebted to this Office, for Sub
scriptions, Advertisements or Job Work, the
flowing intelligence, which he hopes they will
t'flfwid and respond to in a satisfactory manner.
I the present law ol South Caro-
Hbfa imposing a fine of ‘’twenty dollars” upon
persons who shall pay’out. or pass, or put in ,
any bank note, bill or certificate, or
IJowledgment °f indebtedness by any bank,
*S»|gs9n, or association of persons in any other
f jrtifce, of a less amount or denomination than
Utlaldollars.” That he, the said Proprie or, will
’ .rirept puch bills, on Georgia Banks, for debts due
and that he hereby declares his pur
ijose .to act as Agent of said Bank in despite of
? %id Idaw. its aiders and abettors. We are whol- :
ly at a loss to see why such a distinction should
be made between bills above and those below
the denomination ot five dollars. It is bad
enough to have such an institution as the Bank
of the State at all. but this odious feature in its j
charter, will deservedly be disregarded every
where.— Edgefield Advertiser.
The above shows a spirit of independence,
sind what might be termed a spiri’ of practical
nullification. It is quite probable the law against
small bills will prove a dead letter, even among
th'e proverbially law, abiding people of South
Carolina. Disregard to this law will be, in many
transactions, a matter almost of necessity.

To the Voters of the Bth Congressional District. |
Fellow-Citizens: —Permit me to announce, that
l am a candidate to represent you in the next
Congress of the United States. Give me leave
s o state the grounds upon which I ask your suf- |
frsge-
The limit and she end of our government is, 1
that our ancestors being divided and weak, uni
ted under a perpetual Federal Union,and grant
ed the revenues of the States to that Union, in
order that they and their posterity might be per
petually stronger to resist the invasions of for-
eign enemies. By Excess—by which I mean j
long sessions of Congress, an unbounded license
of Congressional speech and action—excessive
legislation without limits or fixed rules—discus
sions of slavery, money bills, improvements, of
fice-seekirg. and other doubted or non-essential ;
subjects—l say by this Excess, Congress has ;
strayed out of the circle or l imit of Government;
the end of the government, (danger and protec
tion) is lost sight of ; jealousy and want of con
fidence prevail; and being separated by a wide
ocean from the danger that originally united us, 1
and vainly hoping that the vanity of our great- j
ness will protect us more fully than arms and
navies—we have forgot that the sword of
foreign danger is still suspended over our house
—and as the sense of dangers has diminished, so
has the value of the Union diminished, and its
expensiveness been felt as a burden. And this, j
by the folly and cupidity, and the controversial
propensities of our public men, the Union, which
was formed to make the States and people
stronger, has, by the forgetfulness of foreign dan
gers, and the excess of its limit and its end of
protection, made us weaker; and since we have
ceased to fear foreign governments on the sup
position that they never will molest us, how
ever weak we be, we are beginning to be afraid
of our own government. America, which is
short-sighted and rooted to the present, is more
fearful that by a limited government of naval
and military protection, posterity may enjoy the
treasures of America, than it is fearful of the
robbing hand of foreign tribes; because avarice
sees not now’ the hand of rapine laid on its rich
es. Wherefore, the nation is weak ; and the
tense of that weakness has prompted our admin
istrations to yield under the greater strength of
England, in the questioi# of the N. E. and
N. W. Boundaries—in the case of Alexander
McCleod—in respect to the searching of our ves
sels on the high seas—in the disputes about the
Fisheries, and other cases of oppression and in
sult. By that weakness caused by excess, that
made us more afraid of our own government than
foreign tribes—our courage has sometimes failed
because our national hopes were not sanguine.
Short sessions of Congress—the prohibition of
wrongful discussions, especially on the slavery
subject—fixed limits to Congressional speech and
action—the increase ot the Navy and the or
ganization of a National Militia—Wars tor hon
or and not tor pelf. These are some of the re
forms which, it elected, I pledge myself to try to
bring out, in order that we, the States and peo
ple, may be stronger as our forefathers hoped
that we should oe; and in order that, being
stronger and feeling stronger , we and our descen
dants shall have national hopes that shall make
the nation live always; hope , that all peaceful
reforms needed to make us stonger, may be ac
complished, all excess banished from Congress
and the people, and the end of she. government
rediscovered and plainly and always seen, and
its limit preserved ; and hope, that our posterity,
filled with the true immortal glory of America,
no longer fearing their own government,but con
scious of its justice and its strength , will not fear
.to combat with the combined navies of Europe
on the coasts of the four quarters of the globe
and among the isles of the ocean.
Speaking for the whole South, I will say to
the North, brothers, descendents ol a common
ancestry, the sword of foreign danger is still
suspended over our house, and we know that a
glorious union is our best, our only protection—
the only protection if it be strong for our slave
institution; help us to banish excess, that the
Union may be stronger and juster than it is; and
if you will but do this, we will fight with you
and for you against the cormfion foe. Our State
legislators will take care of our local State in
terests. if you will but help to toss off the excess
of Congress, and attempt to do no more than
protect us against foreign foes by the militia
and navy. These are the only hopes of the
Union, which it fulltilled, all is glory and power
—if disappointed, all is blood and ruin. May
these hopes not only unite us in this District
with Americans every where, but may these
hopes unite us with all posterity.
I shall advise you in due time where and
when we may meet to converse on these topics.
Yours, Cuyler W. Young.

Sales of Tobacco in New York. —lt is
seated that there was a speculative movement
in tobacco in New York, at the close of last
week, and the sales for two days (Friday and
Saturday) reached about 1200 to 1500 hhds.,
chiefly Kentucky, at rates varying from 6 to 9c.
for good to prime qualities. This movement
was caused by unfavorable accounts regarding
the prospects of the present crop, received from
the West, especially from Kentucky, where, it
was said, many plants had been destroyed,
either by the backward spring or the severe
drought which had prevailed. Included in the
sales were considerable purchases made on ac
count of Kentucky planters.
Ihe Jaaies Adgeh.— For the pa%t hao day
(says the Charleston Courier) considerable anx
iety has been felt in this city and New Yoik
relative to the non-arrival at the laftter port o
that generally most punctual steamship, th*
lames Adger, Captain John Dickinson. Yes
terday afternoon, however, all fears as to be
safety were dissipated by the reception ol a tel
egraphic dispatch announcing that she anivec
at Delaware Break-water on WeJnesday. Sht
oroke her side lever, we understand, on Sunday,
and was taken in tow by the steamship Osprey
Captain Bennett, which fell in with her the
same night, off Cape Look Out. The Osprey
took off her passengers and mails, and towed her
to Delaware Breakwater, whence she was to
ceed under canvas to New York.
The Osprey arrived at Philadelphia at tw<
o’clock on Wednesday, and many of the Adger’s
passengers left that city by the evening train a 1
seven o’clock tor New-York. The Osprey wil
leave Philadelphia, as we learn from a tele
graphic despatch to the Agent in this city, so
this port on Saturday next, her regular day.
Fhe U. S. Mail steamship Southerner, Capt.
William Foster, will leave, we understand
for New-York. on Sunday morning next, and
sail trom this port in the place of the James
Adger, on Saturday the 9th instant.
Small Bills.
Ihe Bank of Hamburg has with accustomed
liberality, authorized us to give notice to persons
holding small bills issued by banks out of this
State that such bills will be redeemed, or .taken
in by said Bank, ar d small bills of the Bank of
this State or specie given in exchange. This is
most liberal and praiseworthy on the part of
the Bank, and will tend to remove all the antici
paeed difficulties about change, and enable per
sons holding these foreign shin plasters to con
vert them into a legal currency.— Hamburg Re
publican.
Army Intelligence.— lt is stated that Cap
tain Casey, U. S. A., has reported Colonel Win
der, also of the army, to the Secretary of War,
for certain conversation reflecting upon Captain
C.’s conduct in Florida, in connection with the
'lndians in that quarter. A court of inquiry will
probably be ordered.
The Buenos Ayrean-Blockade —The news
from Buenos Ayres of this siege and blockade
which we received some days ago, caused a fall
of 4 per cent, in Buenos Ayrean stocks in Eng
land. A letter from Buenos Ayres received in
England says :
“ The blockade is simply against this port, as
Gen. Urquiza has declared open for all shipping
the river Salado, Ensenada, San Yisdoro, Las
Chouchas. El Tigre. San Nicolas de los Arroyos
on this side of the River Plate ; bur this Gov
ernment does not admit of their being open to
foreign shipping.”
[eOMMUNICATKD.]
Mr. Editor: —As the time is approaching
when the Democratic party of our district will
assemble to nominate a candidate for Congress,
permit me to recommend, through your paper,
John J. Jones, Esq , of Burke, as our Standard
Bearer in the next contest. This gentleman
has tor several years Veen a faithful and effec
tive advocate of Democratic principles. Though
a native of Burke, and now residing in that
county, the Eighth Congressio a! district has
been the scene of comparatively few of his po
litical labors: the third district is the field on
which he met the enemies of his cause, and
manfully battled against them. Many demo
erats of that section still remember the eloquence,
the zeal, the judgment, he displayed both in the
memorab e, and on some accounts, ever to be
deplored, campaign of 1848, and also in sub
sequent minor, but perhaps not less important,
conflicts of the two parties. Mr. Jones, it is
true, is still young.but his talents, integrity, and
uncompromising devotion to the democratic
faith, and to the interests of the South, would
render him a valuable representative of our
State on the floor of Congress. B.
Murderous Affair.—A brutal murder was
committed on Monday evening last, at a place
called Love’s Hollow, on the N. & C. Railroad,
a few miles from this city. Two brothers,’James
and Peter Heaton, got into a quarrel about a
small sum of money, when the latter inflicted
two mortal wounds in the neck and breast of
the formei, who survived but a lew minutes.—
The parties were young men and both intoxi
cated at the time. Peter was arrested and
lodged ip jail, from whence he will probably be
tiansported to the penitentiary or the gallows ;
but what punishment will be meted out to the
one who furnished be liquor, who is accessary
to, if not the virtual instigator of the crime, the
wisdom and plentitude of our laws do not defin
itely prescribe. Make the liquor vender directly
responsible for the crimes traceable to his traffic,
and you “strike the nail upon the head ” ■ He
will become chary of dealing out his wares, ad
libitum, to the man whom intoxication makes a
robber or murderer. We commend this sugges
tion to the “ Maine Liquor Law” advocates, and
submit it to their judgment, whether laws em
bodving this principle would not be more effect
ual than any attempt at total or exclusive pro
hibition.— Chattanooga Advertiser, 30 th u!t.
The Factories at Work Again. — We are
glad to learn that the damages, occasioned by the
great floods in spring, have been repaired, and
that two of our Factories, the Eagle and the
Coweta, have again commenced operations
Others, we are informed, will shortly be at work.
The whole community will be pleased to hear
this. The proprietors have suffered serious losses,
and operatives having been thrown so long out
of employment have felt the blow more heavily,
pprhaps, than their employers. We hope that
their works will now stand, and that the losses
sustained will in a short time be made up by an
increased sale of mauafactured goods. The Pal
ace Mill goes also into immediate operation, and
will by the tirre this paper reaches the nearest
post-office, in all probability, be changing the
whpat and corn into flour and meal, at a rate
that would astonish the man that first invented
it. Clothing and food must be had. and baring
all reasonable accidents and pro idential causes,
they may hereafter be found in this locality. So
the present sign indicates.— Columbus Enquirer.
A statement appears in the Boston Transcript,
vouched for by the editor from "his personal
knowledge, to the effect that, this season, some
of our American fishing vessels will go forth to
the fisheries armed and prepared to defend their
rights under the treaty, as they understand
them. The same statement has also appeared
in other quarters; and the Boston Journal in
forms us that the fishermen are actuated by a
deep feeling of indignation, caused by the wan
ton injuries inflicted upon them last year by the
British cruisers.— Charleston Courier.
The weather continues “ hot. hot, all piping
hot,” and the mercury has been, for some days
past, soaring away up ‘among the nineties.”
We have heard of no decided c ases ol “ sun
stroke” about here, but the long continued heat
has had a manifest tendency to impart a lazy
aspect to the countenances of the people gener
ally, All who have faith in the efficacy of
prayer, we hope, will not fail to supplicate for
a change in the weather.— Atlanta Intelligencer ,

Swallowed a Pin — The Wilmington Repub

swallowed a pin some two or three months ago,
which lodged in her throat, so as to destroy the

Charleston. July I. Cotton. —This article was
very much neglected throughout the whole oftha
previous week, and when we closed our enquiries
preparatory to our report of the 24th ult, prices
woro d pressed, and the market wore a decidedly
languid and drooping appearance: ana these re
marks may also bo considered applicable to the bu
siness of the week under review.
The transactions have been limited, and indi
cate a decline daring the fortnight < f about £ a §c.
from the highest point; we must hero remark,
however, that while some of. our sellers, owing to
circumstances over which they had no control,
have sold at the ab~ve reduction, there are those
who have positively rofused to make any such
concession The sales were confined principally
to the Gfood Middling and Middling Fair qualities,
which may be quo'ed nominally at 10 J to 10Jc. —
We have no quotations to offerfor the othergrades.
The sales of tne week may be e-dimated as fol
lows : Friday 220; Monday 624;
Tuesday 1470; Wolnesday 24R; and Thursday
400—making an aggregate of 2962 hales, against
the receipts in the same time of 5012 bales. The
transactions comnrise 9 bales at 8*: 221 at 8|;
328 at 9 ; 118 at 9J-; 227 at 9* ; 39 at 9$ : sat9| ;
59 at 10 ; 32 at 10*; 660 at lOj ; 526 at 10* ; 440
at, 10$ ; 63 at 10J ; 193 at 11; and 16 bales at
life. We have no transactions to report in Long
Cotton.
Ilice, —This article has boon rather neglected
this week, and prices have exhibited alanguid and
drooping appearance. The receipts comprise 1587
tierces, a portion of wh ch has been stored, as the
parties could not come to terms The transactions
have been at prices ranging from 3* a s3£ ; the
bulk of the sales, however, were made at 3* and
s3f per hundred.
Lorn. —The receipts for some time back have
been very light, which has materially reduced the
stock on sale, and the supply in the hands of some
of our doalers is at present quite light, and sellers
have consequently realized a higher range of pri
ces. The receipts this week comprise 6300 hu=hels
Maryland, 1800 of which sold at 68. and 1500 do.
of strictly prime quality at 71c. Tne balance, 3000
bushels, remain unsold, the highest offer being64c.,
which was roiiised.
Hay \ small lot of Eastern, received since
our last, has been sold at the b : gh price of $1.47
per 100 lbs Tnestock of Hay has been materially
red ced, in consequence of tho light receipts for
some time b-ick, and wo hazard the opinion tbat
the first arrivals will bring good prices, perhaps an
advance on our present, quotations.
Oaf s —We note the receipt this week of upwards
of 2-100 bushels, which changed hands at 46 a 47c.,
whir'll is an improvement on transactions. The sup
ply i« light, and hence the ddvance.
Flour. —Tho artie’e has been very much neg
lected this week. There have been some forced
sales at prices showing a very unsettled market.
Baltimore brands have ranged from 5 a 5| per bar
rel; Western from 4J a s*; and North Caro’ina
has been sold as lo w as 4* per bbl.
Lard —We have no transactions to report; our
quotations however, will give a fair criterion of the
state cf the market.
Bacon. —Th s article has been very much neglec
ted this week, and prices at the close of business
show a decided tendency in favor of buyers. Ret -
era! small lots of Shoulders have heen run off at
63c.: Sides principally at B*c.; and Hams within
the range of our qnotationt,. a® in quabty.
Bagging and Rope Nothing has'been done
in the former article. The latter selling from 8 a
Salt. —The receipts since our last reach upwards
of 3000 sacks, whioh have changed hands at prices
within the range of our quotations.
Domestic Liquors —We have no transactions to
report. New Orleans Whisky is worth 24 a 25c. per
gallon.
Segars.— There was a sale of 100 hhds. of Mus
covado, a favorite brand, taken by a dealer, at a
price whmh has not heen allowed to transpire.
Bavnnd this transaction, nothing has been done in
this article
Coffee. —The transactions have heen confined to
small lots Rio, at prices rangi g from 8f a 9fc., as
in quality.
Molasses. —We note sales of upwards of 200 hhds
and 43 tierces Cuba, at prices ranging from 17* a
18* cents. a« in quality. New-Orleans is worth at
wholesale 29 a 30c. per gallon.
Exchanges— w e quote Sterling 9* a 9§. Francs
are nominal. The Northern rates are the same as
previ usly reported.
Freights —The two vessels reported in our last,
as loading for Liverpool, have completed their car
goos at gd. for square bags Cotton. The coastwise
rates are nominal.

Foreign Markets.
Liverpool, June 14—At tho date of departure
ofthe Niagara our Cotton market c’osed heavily,
with few offerings and an evident desire on the
part of holder to mako progress in sales, to effect
which concessions had to be submitted to; this
was more particularly the case on Saturday last,
on which day tho business was restricted, and prices
of American generally were quoted at * low^r. —
Since the arrival ofthe Afric < on Sunday morn
ing a better demand has existed, the tran-actions
extended, and prices have partially recovered to
the level of last week’s quotations ; the increased
business must, however, be ascribed to the opera
tions of a large speculative house, w o have taken
freely of the lower grades, rather thgn any improve
ment in the general tone of the market, or diDosi
tion on the part of the trade to add to their stock,
although other circumstances are in favor of the
a -tide, the upward move is kept in check by poli
cal events, whioh continue to engross public atten
tion to the produce of every consideration San
guine expectations are still indulged in for the
amicable adjustment of differences between the
contending powers, hut the depressing influence of
the last news from Constantinople and St. Peters
burg on all public securities in thi3 country and
elsewhere, and the apathv displayed for extending
commercial operations, sufficiently evidence the
anxiety that is felt for the result. Holders continue
to meet the inquiry with a liberal supply, and
prises can scarcely bo said to be more than n#mi
nally steady ; each day bringing about a differont
feeling

Imports of the same time about 36,000 bales.
The pos ihility of a speedy solution to the pres
ent political crisis, without endangering the peace
of Europe, is regarded with some favor in Manches
ter since the telegraphic advices were received this
morning, and has imparted a more cheerful tone
amongst all classes in that vicinity. Although we
cannot advise any extension of business, i r is pleas
ing to say even this much, as it is evident that this
question alone there, as well as here, is the only
impediment to an active trade being carried on.
The Grain market shows symptoms of waver
ing, partially influenced by.the fine ar d seasonable
weather now prevailing, which is working wonders
on the s-owing crops, and more so by hi"h rate*
ruling for all kinds of Breadstuff's. Although there
is no change of note in prices, and holders are firm
in general, consumers operate only to a moderate
extent, and speculation is limited to a few parcels of
prime Philadelphia and Baltimore Flour. Wheat
is by no means in active demand, and Indian Corn
moves slowly at last quotations.
[The Circular of Messrs. Brown, Shipley A Co.
says:—“ There has been an active demand for
Cotton for four davs : both yesterday and te-day
the business has been fully iO,OOO bales each day,
one half on speculation, and the market closes
steady at the full prices of Friday last, the turn be
ing in favor of sellers.— Eds. Courier.

Valuable testimony in favor of an

cord the testimony or medical men in favor of Dr.
M’Lane s medicines; it is gratifying, because the
Vermiuge and Liver Pills of that distinguished
physician were not invented for speculation, but
were introduced info his practice vjfn the design
of effecting good and they became ce'ebrated
throu h their great merit. They are -ot, there
fore, to be placed in ! be same category wiih the
patent nostrums of the day, which ateso extrava
gantly puffed : n the advertising columns «f the
newspapers. Dr 3 Newcomb and Duff, in coo mon
with others of the medical faculty, arc siunpli do

gar— Mustang Liniment and the adies
In our opinion, nothirg is above the
comprehension of women : and with less prejudice,
more liberality, and much keener perception than
men, when anew idea is presented, a new doctrine
taught, or a new tact asserted, she grasps it at once
- and with the rapidity and clearness almost of in
stinct, decides upon its merits or truthfulness ; and
if her decision bo favorable, she enthusiastica ly
advocates and supports it. Thus the common say
ing has obtained—“ Once get the women on your
side and you arc safe :" and we are happy to state
that we have the ladies all in favor of the “ Mus
tang Liniment.” They have tried it for Caked
Breasts, Sore Nipples, Sores, Chafes, and Burns on
Children, as well as for Croup and Muti ps. Also,
for Corns, Tooth Ache, Pains in the limbs and
joints, Sore Eyes, Eruptions, Cuts, and Bruises, and
they have always found it effectual—and they go
about, like angels as they are, proclaiming it to
their friends &' d to all they see or hear tell of, who
are suffering. We have daily calls for it by per
sons who say such and such ladies recommend
them to try it. .Go on ladies in your “good Sa
maritan work, and thousands will bless you for
your timely advice.
