WEDNESDAY MORNING, IDLY 6.
FOR GOVERNOR,
HON. HERSCHEL V. JOHNSON.
Os Baldwin County.
Wnig Motives in Reviving the Slavery Agitation
Examined.
The recent declaration of tho Whig party in
Convention assembled, that they considered the
rights of the Southern States in great and im
minent danger, from the imputed recognition of
Abolitionists and Free Soilers, as worthy of pub
lic honors and public emoluments, was made un
der circumstances which challenge investigation
as to its sincerity, and the honesty of the motives
prompting it. That same Convention nomi
nates Mr. Jenkins, as its candidate for Gover
nor. We are naturally led therefore, to look in?
to the antecedents of this gentleman on this
very point, and the attitude which, by his own
acts and declarations, he has occupied before the
public. We are led to inquire what claims he
has upon the support of Union Democrats, whose
patriotic apprehensions for the safety of the prin
ciples of the Georgia platform are appealed to ?
We are led to inquire in what character, save
that of a Whig, deeply attached and solemnly
pledged to Whig principles, Mr. Jbnkins is en
titled to or can expect support ? We are are led
to inqure how, with the record of his acts and
declarations spread out before them. Union
Democrats can consistently with honor and self
respect, vote for him ? We are led to inquire,
how anv Democrat entitled to the name, and
true to bis principles, can vote for a man who
on the closest self-examination, can discover in
himself not the slightest trace of being “ Demo
cratized V }
We had occasion last August, to exhibit the
strange juxta-position of the Buffalo platform
and the Georgia platform—-the one on which
stood Martin Van Bttrfn and his Free Soil
allies, and the other indicating the ground on
which Georgia would defend her rights, even to
a disruption of every tie which bound her to the
Union.
We showed that on the Buffalo platform, stood
Daniel Webster by his explicit declaration.
Os the other Mr. Jenkins was the architect.
Both were in direct and portentous conflct.
Yet the strange spectacle was exhibited of Mr.
Webster, standing on the one, and Mr. Jenk
ins, solemnly pledged to the other, running fra
ternally together upon the same ticket for Presi
dent and Vice President.
The fourth resolution of the Georgia platform,
announced the following solemn purpose to the
world :
“ Fourthly —That the State of Georgia, in the
judgment of this Convention, will and ought to
res st, even [as a last resort,) to a disruption of
every tie which binds her to the Union, any
action of Congress, upon the subject of Slavery
in the District of Columbia, or in places subject
to the jurisdiction of Congress, incompatible with
the safety or domestic tranquility, the rights and
the honor of the slaveholding States ; or any
act suppressing the slave trade between slave
boldine States 5 or any refusal to admit as a State
any Territory hereafter applying . because of the ex
istence of slavery therein ; or any act prohibiting
the introduction of slaves into the territories of
Utah and New Mexico ; or any act repealing or
materially modifying the laws now in force for
the recovery of fugitive slaves.
At Abington (Mass.), Oct, 10, 1848, Mr.
Webster, declared that the Free Soilers at
Buffalo, had stolen their sentiments from the North
ern Whigs. It was a clear case of petty larceny—
that there was nothing in the platform that did
not meet the unqualified approbation of the
Northern Whigs—that if the Northern Whigs
were to join the Free Soil party. u We ,, said Mr.
Webster . should still be the Whig party under a
different name, and that would be all ’ •
Mr Webster’s free-soilsentiments were very
plainly reiterated by him at Buffalo, May 22nd
185i,0n which occasion he emphatically de
clared :
“My opinion remains unchanged, that it was
not within the original scope or design of toe
Constitution 'o admit new States out of foreign
territory : anJ that for one. I never would con
sent: and no matter what may be said at the
Syracuse Convention, or at -ny o'her assemblage
of insane persons, I never would consent and nev
er have consented , that there should be one foot of
slave territory beyond what the old Thirteen
States had at the time of the formation of the
union. Never Inevfr! The man cannot show
his face to me and say he can prove that I ever
departed from that doctrine. He would sneak
a wav, and slink away, or hire a mercenary press
that he might cry out, what an apostate from
liberty Daniel Webster has become. He knows
himself to be a hypocrite and a falsifier.”
Thus was exhibited the spectacle of Mr. Jen
kins running on a ticket with, and supporting
for the Presidency, one who in the very teeth
as it were of the people of Georgia, and only five
months after their solemn purpose wasannounc
ed, to dissolve the Union if Congress were to
reject, or the President to veto a bill to admit
a new State into the Union, because she tolera
ted slavery, declares that he never tvould consent
to such an admission.
Mr. Jenkins and his supporters in the late
nominating Convention, have the cool assurance
to declare that they “ consider the rights of the
Southern States as in great and imminent danger ,
and the principles of the Georgia Convention
greatly jeoparded by any political party which
recognizes abolitionists and free soilers as worthy
of public honors and public emoluments. Yet
Mr. Jenkins lends his name and influence to
elect a man President of the United States.
who is a by his own emphatic avowal and boast
a Free Soiler.
No longer ago than July 1, 1852, we find Mr.
Jenkins declaring that he had then a stronger
desire than ever before to adhere to the national
Whig party—this very Whig party all the North
ern members of which were Free Soilers ac
cording to the boast of his favorite candidate for
the Presidency. We refer to tfye letter of Mr.
Jenkins ot that date, copied into another col
umn. The Southern Banner very properly pub
lishes it, as a warning to Union Democrats, with
whom Mr Jenkins then had little political sym
pathy.
That National Whig party, is the party which
is contending before the people and will continue
to contend for the legislative power of the States
and of the Federal Government, and for the
public honors and the public emoluments.
We too invite our Union Democratic readers
—we invite all true Democrats without regard
to our past uuhappy divisions, to read , mark and
inwardly digest the passages in italics.
We copy this letter for the additional purpose
of showing,
Ist, That Mr. Jenkins last summer honestly
thought and candidly said that there was no
longer any necessity or pretext for a Union
party.
2d, That he teas satisfied with the platform of the
Whig party, and with Gen. Scott’s adhesion
to it, his objection to him being merely as to
his fitness for the office. 1
3d, That being as much a Whig as ever,
adopting the entire national Whig creed as then
promulgated, he saw no reason why the Union
Democrats should not separate from him, as they
held in common no political principles then in
practical issue before the country. In other
words, that Mr Jenkins then thought that the
more manly and honest course was for himself to
stick to his Whig associates and Whig principles,
and for the Union Democrats to re-unite like
patriotic citizens with their old Democratic as
sociates. from whom they had been separated on
the Compromise measures, and battle as in the
days of Jackson, of Polk, and of Cass, for those
Domocratic principles to which they have been
so long and so sincerely attached, and of which
those statesmen were the exponents.
4th, That these being the honest sentiments
of Mr. Jenkins himself only a year ago, as to
bis own party, and his strong desire to unite
with it, and these being his honest sentiments
as to the course consistency, propriety, and pa
triotism dictated to the Union Democrats, he
has now no claims whatever upon the support
of any Democrat.
These propositions are distinctly announced
in, or clearly deducible from Mr. Jenkins’ let
ter. They need no elanoration.
This letter of Mr Jenkins is characteristic of
him. and is creditable to his frankness. It is a
distinct, manly, unqualified declaration of his
attachment to Whig principles and to the Whig
party—the National Whig party—whose plat
form, so satisfactory to him, was erected at Bal
timore last June.
To suit the local exigencies of Georgia politic
and t.o fan into new life the dying embers of
those passions which unhappily blazed up so
fiercely in our State on the slavery question, a
new scheme of agitation has been set on foot by
the and Mr. Jenkins —the peaceable,
Union loving, conservative Mr. Jenkins, lends
himself to the plottings of the agitators against
the peace and quiet of the State.
He. the National Whig, from whose pacific pen
emanated those resolutions of the Georgia Con
vention, which were sent out to tranquilize the
troubled waters of sectional strife, and to bring
back like Noah’s dove,the olive branch to all who
acquiesce in the adjustment made by Congress of
the sectional questions at issue, new lends him
self to agitators, as an instiument of building
up agiin a sectional party—a party arrayed
against both the national parties of the country
—agitators who declare that both national par
ties are faithless to their oft repeated pledges’
in the expenditure of the oublic money. Mr.
Jenkins, the Nullifier and Secessionist, of 1832,
who was repeatedly beaten for the Legislature
in Richmond county, because he had talked too
strongly of resistance to the Federal Government
because of its laws for raising public money—
who held then, the inherent right of State seces
sion in all the broad latitude of the hofest Fire
eater of the present day, now stands forth the
champion of a new- excitement, because of its
laws for the expenditure of public money. The
old role of characters in the Nullification and
Secession drama of 1832-3, in which Mr. Jenk
ins and Mr. Toombs, were among the rising
stars, is to be vamped and rehearsed with the
same cast, and only a slight deviation as to the
plot—the change being from a plot founded on
laws to raise money, to one founded on laws to
expend money.
But the question arises, what has the national
Whig party now charged with being faithless
to its pledges, done since July last, to lose-the
confidence of Mr. Jenkins. What laws has it
enacted or helped to enact, what betrayal of
popular rights has it committed since the day
Mr .Tenktns expressed an anxiety stronger than
ever before to adhere to it, and give to its nominees
his feeble support, but which feeble support he
thought proper to withhold ? We leave this
question to be settled between Mr. Jenkins and
j the Scott Whigs, being utterly unable ourselves
j to offer a satisfactory solution to it.
As for the Whig denunciation of the national
Democratic party as faithless, that is no new
thing to Democrats, and creates no new uneasi
ness amo"g them Whom did Mr. Jenkins and
I his politics l supporters ever Ho anything else
than denounce and make war upon that party?
Their present course is now a covert mode
of making war upon the Democratic party,
the victories when obtained, if ever, to prtnre
ultimately to the benefit of the National Whig
party, or to permanent sectional strifes.
This result can only he accomplished by the
aid of Union Democratic voters.
Tt is for Union Democrats to decide with the
lights now before them, whether patriotism,
duty, or self-rpsvect would not all be sacrificed
by voting for Mr. Jenkins.
Judicial Resignations and Appointments.
The intelligence reached our city on Monday,
that Judge Warner had resigned his seat on the
Bench of the Supreme Court, and that the Gov
ernor had appointed Judge Starnes to the vacan
cy thus occasioned, and the Hon. Andrew J.
Miller, to the Bench of the Supreme Ceurt, thus
vacated by Judge S f arnes.
These appointments will give great satisfac
tion to the legal profession and to the public
generally. Judge Starnes has acquired a high
judicial reputation, and it must be conceded that
he is in all sespects, as well adapted for the posi
tion so ably filled by Judge Warner, as by any
one the Governor could have selected. The
same may be said of Mr. Miller, in reference to
the position jast vacated by Judge Starnes, for
he has long held a leading rank as a jurist, and
at the bar, second in ability to none other in
the State.
Mr. Miller, is entitled to much credit, for ac
cepting the office tendered him, for he does so at
much personal inconvenience, and to the serious
interruption of his large professional practice.
He accepts it for the short period of the
still unexpired, as a matter of temporary accom
modation to the profession and to the public in
terest. He has no desire to hold the office, and
will positively not be a candidate for it at the
ensuing election.
Judge Starnes will leave this week, for
Americus, to take his seat at the regular term of
the Supreme Court, to be holden there next
Monday,
The Moultrie House, says the Charleston
Courier, of the 4th inst. according to announce
ment, was duly opened for the season on Friday
last, by Mr. Thomas S. Nickerson, and, as the
list of arrivals published elsewhere in this morn
ing’s issue will show, has already been visited by
many, the majority of whom have either taken
rooms for themselves or families. Rome was not
built in a day, nor can a large hotel, generally
speaking, be rendered in every particular ready
for the reception of guests in the space of four
weeks, but Nickerson has worked wonders, and
although it is only a month to-day since we an
nounced his having leased the house, he has it in
first rate order, and before the termination of the
present week, will have his servants in pefect
training, and every arrangement that can contri
bute either to the comfort or pleasure of his board
ers, perfected—indeed he and his able assistant
are indefatigable in their endeavors to make
every visitor feel at home, and such being the
case, we cannot be surprised that the season
promises to be alike pleasant to his visitors and
prefitable to himself.
Celebration of the Fourth.
Our national anniversary was celebrated in this
city on Monday with becoming spirit. The boom
ing of cannon announced by a Federal salute the
dawn of the seventy-seventh anniversary of our
National Independence. At sunrise the enliving
music ot military bands summoned our volun
teer corps to their respective drill rooms The
procession was formed according to programme
in front of the United States Hotel, and moved
thence to the City Hall Park, where were as
sembled a number of our citizens. Many ladies,
as usual graced the patriotic occasion with their
presence A suitable prayer to the throne of
divine grace was offered up by the Rev. Mr.
Tunrer. after the Declaration of American Inde
pendence was read by Wm Walton. E-q.
That great document so eloquent in language
and sublime in its associations, is well calculated
to kindle with fresh fervor the devotion of free
men to popular rights, and preserve a healthy
antagonism between republican institutions and
i monarchical government It was read in a style
1 so effective as to give additional impressiveness
jto its significant truths. An oration was then
! delivered by James G. Gould, Esq., marked by
j masculine thought, noble sentimen’s and s’ngn
j lar beauty of style. Its delivery was forcible and
| graceful, ar.d every way worthy of its merits as
! a composition. After a benediction was pro
nounced, the procession returned to the United
States Hotel, and was there dismissed.
The early morning was appropriately selected
for the ceremonies. The air was cooled by a
most refreshing and much needed rain, which
fell the evening before, but for which the heat
would have been very oppressive.
A national salute at meridium. and a federal
salute at sundown concluded the public cere
monies of the day.
The Harmonic Minstrels.
This troupe.it will be seen,give their last Con
cert this evening. Their performances in our
city |have been well attended, and given general
satisfaction. We bespeak for them a crowded
house to-night.
PRESENTMENTS.
Richmond Countv Superior Court, June Term,
1853—First Week.
The Grand Jury offers the following Present
ments :
The Committe appointed to examine the Books
in the office of the Clerks of the Superior and
Inferior Courts, report, the records to be in ad
mirable order. The reversed Index of all the
Records of Deeds, Mortgages, &c., from the 20th
March, 1784, to the present time, and which
was recommended by a former grand jury, and
ordered to be executed by the Inferior Court
has been completed, and adds very much to the
convenience of all wishing to consult the Re
cords. All the Papers and Records in the office
of the Ordinary are in good order.
The following persons have taken out licenses
to retail spirituous liquors in this county : John
Livingston, Joseph Graves, Nicholas Smith,
Jason Watkins, Mrs. McCarty, James Lovell.
The Committee appointed to examine the
County Treasurer’s Books, report the same to
be kept in an exceedingly neat and correct style
From his books it appears that only sl9 25
have been received from estrays since 1846.
We append the following abstract of some of the
amounts paid out by order of the Inferior Court
Years. Paid to Paupers. Poor House. Boads.
1850 $1,013 11 $ 773 44 $4,912 02
1851 1,485 65 1.059 54 2.579 66
1852 1,921 12 1,712 00 5,784 37
$4,419 88 $3,544 98 $13,276 05
The Jail Committee report the Prison in good
order, and the prisoners well attended to and
safely by the Jailor. They also call the atten
i tion of those whose duty it may be to investi
! gate and regulate the same, to a prisoner in the
I jail, who is a superannuated slave, rendered in
j capable of service by his age, and who has been,
for months past, a pauper upon the public. The
j odium of such neglect should rest upon the own
er of said slave, and we ask for a special investi
gation of this matter.
The Committee appointed to examine into
the condition of the R- ads, report, that they
have not been able to make but an imperfect
examination, am! trust that the Grand Jury of
next week will give this matter thei' attention.
The Grand Jury recommend to the Legisla
ture to change the name of P or School*! to Free
Schools We deem it unnecessary to state rea
sons for such an alteration, as they must be ap
parent to every reflecting mind.
The Grand Jury represent as a grievance the
permission given to certain negroes, to wander
| through our streets, known to labor under the
diseases of Epilepsy and Insanity. We call the
attention of the Inferior Court, or the City
Council of Augusta, to this matter, and trust
that measures will be adopted to provide a
suitable and comfortable place for them.—and
while on this subject, we invite the attention ol
the proper authority to an exercise ot the guar
dian care which our laws have extended over
all infirm and neglected blacks.
We call the attention ot the Inferior Court to
the condition of the chairs and table in the
Grand Jury room, and recommend that the ta
ble be re-covered, and arm-chrirs be provided.
The Grand Jury have heard complaints in re
gard to unlawful trading with negroes—fur
ni«hing liquor to slaves—and permitting negroes
to loiter about where spirits are sold in this city.
We refer all matters of this character to the at
tention of the City Council of Augusta, and their
Police Officers. If such piactices are permitted
with impunity, it is not in consequence of any
defect in the laws of the State, or the Ordinances
of the City of Augusta.
Upon the great question of the day, which is
now agitating the whole country—the granting
of licenses, we think it proper to express our
views.
We believe there is but one sentiment in the
community as to the great evils resulting from
intemperance, of which we have of late been
forcibly impressed by reading the able papers
upon the subject by his Honor, but as to the
best mode of remedying this evil, there is a
great diversity of opinion. We l?owever, ex
press it as our opinion, that the plan proposed at
the Atlanta Convention, of leaving it to a vote
of each district, License or no License, is at the
pfesent time the best mode, and therefore re
commend the passage of this law to the Legis
lature.
We would call the attention of the public and
especially the Legislature, to the great evil of
Lotteries. The general voice of the country, in
the present stage of civilization, is against the
existence of Lotteries; and the people of Georgia
have expressed by repeated acts of their repre
sentatives, commencing as far back, as the year
1764, again and again enacted laws showing
their abhorence of all Lotteries and gaming of
whatever form ; and yet in spite of these laws,
there are Agencies in all the principal cities ot
the State, where Schedules of Lotteries are ad
vertised, and where tickets are daily furnished,
which often lead to the ruin of respectable citi
zens ; and, further more tend to corrupt the
blacks in our midst. We present this as a very
great evil, and call upon our legislators, at their
next session, to devise some effectual means of
putting a stop to this nefarious business.
We return our thanks to his His Honor, Judge
E. Starnes, and to the Attorney General, Mr.
Shewmake, for their attention and courtesy to
our body during the present week.

Oswell E. Cashin, Clerk.
July 2nd, 1853.
[From the Southern Banner. June 30.]
Letter from Mr. Jenkins.
As we have not yet seen Mr. Jenkins’ letter
of acceptance, we presume a letter from him of
some kind will be interesting to the public, and
we therefore give the following, written last
July, to the editor of the Savannah Republican,
to which we call the special attention ol Union
Democrats. We hope they will read it, and
have it well digested, by the time Mr Jenkins’
letter of acceptance reaches them. If they can
support him fn view' of the sentiments expressed
in this letter, we confess we have been greatly
deceived in our estimate ot their devotion to
Democratic principles. The sentences we wish
to call particular attention to, we have placed in
italics.
Augusta, Ist July, 1852.
My Dear Sir:—Your letter of the 24th ult.
has been received, and but for a sense of courte
sy due to you, I should be tempted to ask you
to excuse me lor the simple reason that I have
no fancy tor filling a column in a newspaper,
think it probable, comparatively few will agree
with me in opinion, but I give it to you for
what it is worth.
With a stronger desire than ever before to ad
here to the National Whig party , and give to their
nominees my feeble support , I have been unable
to br ,- ng my mind to the conclusion that T ought
to vote lor Gpn. Scott. My objections have no
relation whatever to the Southern question.
Satisfied with the platform of the party, and with
his prompt, unqualified adhesion to it. I feel pro
found regret that other difficulties interpose be
tween me and the ballot-box. Is it enough
that a candidate for the_ Presidency is an honora
ble man, an intelligent and accomplished gentle
man, a successful general, and that he subscribes
the Whig creed ? If Gen Scott can lay claim
to other qualifications than these, they are not
known to the mass of the people. There are
hundreds of thousands of American citizenshav
ing, in an equal degree, these qualifications, ex
cept only that of which the sword and the
epaulette are the symbols; the absence of which,
in mv poor judgment, operates no disparagement
But there are other qualifications, by no means
so common, which ought to be considered indis
pensable, and which, without enumeration, will
present themselves to every reflecting mind.
We are not only without evidence that General
Scott has these, but there is good reason to be
lieve that he has vpry decided disqualifications.
Will it be denied that he has a hasty, arbitrary
temppr—an imperious self-will, impatient of all
overweening confidence in his own
judgment, and inordinate ambition ? Will it be
pretended that he has a clear, calm, well-bal
anced mind, whose equilibrium cannot easily be
disturbed? If not, is it wise, is it safe, to
place such a man, accustomed, throughout a long
and active life, to despotic military rule, at the
head of a Republican Government.? (am con
strained to believe that he. as well as his oppo
nent. has been selected solely with re ference to
availability consisting of military eclat, and such
freedom from political reproach as results from
little or no employment in the civil service of
Die country. Let those who think more favor
ably of the nominee, or who are willing to take
the responsibility of voting for him hap-hazard,
do so. I will not.
1 should be very sorry, neverthelese, to see the
Constitutional Union party en masse vote for the
Democratic nominee. Certain events which fol
lowed thp April convention otthat party were
well calculated to impair its stability and effici
ency ; and therefore to excite both regrpt and
apprehension, while there remained in prospect
a probable necessity for its continued, distinct
organization But now that both the National
parties have fully recognized and adopted the plat
form of that party. 1 think it would be not only con
sistent with its past course, hut promotive of the' end
of its formation. To dissolve it. That end is ex
nressed in a few words ; " acquiesence in the com
promise measures—faithful execution of the fugitive
stave law—cessation from the slavery agitation ”
Thecnalhinn of the Constitutional Union party
with pither of the national parties, would in
volve a condemnation of the other, having ref.
prcnce t 0 rLp end above ctqtod ; and that. too. in
the tpptf, of a recent pledop of co-operation in
it c nromotion This would hp not onlv incon
sistpnt W'th the position of thp Union party, hpt
in thp lact dparpp preiudicial to Southern inter.
p*ts. Under existing circumstances. J would not
ask my Democratic Urn on. friends to abandon their
Fnrmera/lies. nor am 1 at. nil disposed 1o separate
from mine There is no reason to suppose that they
have conceived a new attachment to the Whig pnr
iy.and unon the closest self examination. /do not
perceive that lam at all Democ-atized I see no
reason why we should not now separate in en
tire good feeling, having learned, during our
hrief association, the important lesson of mutual
rpspect and toleration and readv at all times,
hereafter, to rp-organize for the defence of our
State institutions nr of our Fed ral Union, when
ever and howpver imperilled.
T cannot pprepive upon what Union Whigs
can predicate a preference for the Democratic
ovpt the Whig nominee. Both are objection
able. Both parties have required us. (the peo
ple) to take too much upon trust—have presum
ed too far upon our supposed insane idolatry of
milita-y men. their title and their triumphs. If
such things havp been done heretofore, and have
hpen tolerated, the precedents are evil, and ordy
evil; and it is high time an attempt were made
to arrest this downward tendency, which mu®t
inevitably result in degrading the highest office
under the constitution. If there wpre any hope
of making a strong demonstration by bringing
out another Whig candidate, at this late dav. I
should hpartilv concur in the movement. But
there are few in the country who are uncommit
ted by the nomination, and perhaps fewer still
who would be willing to vote for a candidate
having no prospect of success.
I may be asked, what then shall we do—stand
aloof—not vote at all 7 Better this than vote
1 wrong. Those who feel it a duty to choose be-
I tween the two evils, or who cannot he content
with temporary isolation, will ofcourse put on
’ the uniform and fall into ranks. Doubtless they
will havp good drilling, and one day or other, a
just appreciation of li Scoffs Tactics ” Frankly
confessing the discomforts o( inactivity, I great
ly prefer it to the reluctant support of either
one of the Great Jlvailables.
Very respectfully. &c.,
Charles J. Jenkins.

Dividends. —ln our article on “Dividend
Day,” in Saturday’s Courier, penned in haste, at
a late hour, we made a few mistakes, which we
take the greatest pleasure in rectifying, as they
make our Banks figure even more largely than
we represented or supposed. The Bank of
South-Carolina, the good old Tontine, our ven
erable neighbor, should have figured as having
realized a rate ofdividend, within a fraction of
8 per cent., instead of “ nearly 7 per cent.” per
annum, as we -fated ; and the S. W. Railroad
Bank did more than “ continue” its former rate
of“ 8 per cent.,” per annum, it having increased
its rate ofdividend. from 7 to 8 per cent., per
annum. The Bank o' Camden has increased its
rate from 8 to 12 per cent, being 4 (not 4 or 5)
per cent, higher than at any previous period.
Our Insurance Companies, too, have done ex- |
cellently well, the South-Carolina Insurance
Company having declared a semi-annual divi
dend. at the rate of 12 per cent., and the Charles
ton Insurance and Trust Company, (greatest of
all,) semi-annual dividend, at the rate of 18 per
cent per annum.
We even have hopes that the Santee Canal
Company may do something for its long starved
stockholders, among whom, there must be, by
this time, many a lean and hungry Cassius.—

Augusta Market—July 6.
THE CROPS.—Another month has rollod by
and still we hear complaints from sections in this
and other States, of the suffering and stunted con
dition of the cotton plant from the excessive
drought experienced. Within the past week or two,
n Middle Georgia and the upper portion of South
Carolina slight rains have fallen, but the ground
was so parched that they have done but little good,
ilu a recent visit to the upper part of this State,
and exiended into Middle Tennessee, we saw but
few crops of cotton that were not backward two
or three weeks, and stunted in growth. The Corn
crop in the middle and upper portions of this State
will turn out poorly. The excessive drought has
stunted its growth, shrivelled its foliage, and caused
portions of it to tassel when not over waist high.
In Eastern and Middle Tennessee, planters have
been favored with a more propitious season, and
all the Corn we saw looked healthy, ani was grow
ing finely. The Wheat crop has been harvested,
and is the best yield for many years past. Oats
have suffered much, and the crop will be short.
We learn that a fine rain fe.l at Waynesboro’ on
Saturday evening last, which extended some dis
tance along the Central Railroad In this city, on
Sunday evening and last evening, we had fine falls
ot rain, which will no doubt be beneficial in its re
suits.
By our monthly table? it will be seen that the
Receipts at all the ports show an excess of 209,086
bales, as follow : Incroase at
Nov Orleans 219,131
-Texas 18,801
North Carolina 3,446

Deduct decrease at
Savannah 9,209
Charleston 13,498
Mobile 5,829
Florida 7,241 35,777
Total excess, 209,086
The Exports show an increase to Great Britain
of 39,197 bales, and to France of 250 bales. There
has been a falling off to other Foreign ports of 914,
and to Coastwise ports of 4.033 bales. Increase of
shipments to all points. 34,500 bales.
CO TTON.—A better feeling has been manifested
this week in our Cotton market, but the move
ments have been limited, the sales reaching only
12 to 1500 bales at full prices. The offering stock
is light, and all put on the market me€ts with
ready sale. As prices hare assumed more steadi
ness, we venture to give quotations, and quote:

GROCERIES.—We have no material change to
notice in the prices of any leading article in the
Grocery line- The market is well supplied with all
deseriptions, and merchants find some employment
infilling small country orders.
CORN.—There has sprung up within the past
week or ten days a speculative feeling in the Corn
market, and as the article is very scarce at present,
holders within the past day or two have been sell
ing, in small parcels, for immediate uso. at $1 per
bushel. We omit quotations, but would remark
that a large lot would be difficult of sale at 85 to
90 cents, and were any quantity pressed on the mar
ket, still lower prices would have to be taken.—
Cow Fcas, for planting, aro retailing at sl. No
Oats in market. The last sale we heard of was at
65 cents.
BACON—Is dull of sale—stock on band heavy
We quote hog round 8 a 8$ cents—the latter for a
good article. Good sides are worth 9 a 9s, and
Shoulders 7 a 7$ cents. Lard is selling in kits at
10$ cents.
FLOUR.—We have no change to notice in prioea.
