,ijHRLBSTO!>r,jSept. 30.— Cotton —The gener
i 'D*ct of tho market up to the close of business
3 fue;i’t v last, was characterised by a want of
05 t , or-Unary degree ot activity, to which the
* VJ iLj , ;a pp!y oflferißg and the perfect control that
exorcised over their stock, had in a great
j’j-eecontributed. Buyers, however, finding, at
i,that our factors were too firm in the posi-
Cl n they bad assumed, finally yielded to circum
,cessb<’ v could not control, and bought rather
f'iiv on Wednesday, —the salos on that day hav
• rtsebed fully l® oo bales—at a range of figures
'?■ jja'i previously refused to give. The demand
“-erdav was also good,nearly 900 bales having
'Tutted bauds, and the transaction would doubt
u- hav-c been heavier but for the poor assortment
in the market, which was particularly the case
Th be better qual.tios Tho market at the close
business and in fact, for several days preceding
the date of our publication, occupied a very firm
Lition, and holders realized prices they were
unable to obtain at an earlier period. The quota
tions we give below will give a fair criterion of tho
state of tho market when wo closed our inquiries.
The receipts it wiil bo seen are on the increaso,
s 3210 bales having arrivod sinco our last. The
transactions in the same time comprise 2850 bales,
the following prices, viz: 28 bales at 8f ; 19 at

stlOalOi; Good Middlings at 10*al0|; Middling
Ftir 10jaU>s; Fair 11c. We have no quotations
to „fer for tho extreme grades, as nothing has been
done in those descriptions. The transactions in
p, m . Cotton this week have been limited to a few
small lots, Boa Islands, which if the pricos were
iworJed, would afford no indication of the state of
the market. Some 10 bales of the new crop have
retched the market sinco our last, several of which
rrore of Florida growth.
Corn.— The Corn market fully sustains the po
fiii mit occupied at the closo of the previous wook.
The receipts comprise full 10,000 bushels, 7,000 of
flhteb changed hands at prices within tho range of
our quotations. The balance which woro not re
ceived until the close of tho weok, remain over
unsold.
flour. —Tho transactions in all descriptions du
ring the week have been on the most limited scale,
besides which, the supply is on the increase This
combination of circumstances has tended to depress
the market, and prices aro deeidodly easier than
thev w.-re at tho close of the previous week. Coun
try brands have declined to 5J a s6* ; and Balti
more to $63; indeed, we have been informed tho
latter has been offered at s6* per barrel.
liacon.— Demand limited. Supply light Sides
command 9 a 9*; Shoulders Bc.; prime and choice,
however, which is very scarco, would command an
advance on this rate.
Bagging.— Several parcels of Gunny Cloth have
been received this week. The market has not sus
tained the prico, previously reported, as seme 160
bales havo been run off'at prices ranging from 11 1
a 11*e.
Rope. —The supply is very light, and the tran
sactions show a decided improvement over former
prices. The rales have been confined principally to
Western, at extremes ranging from 8* a 9* for
small parcels.
Salt.— We have no transactions to report. The
.ittle that is on sale is held at tho high price of
$l5O per sa k. Prices arc nominal.
Sugars.— We have no wholesale transactions to
report. The stock is in hands of jobbers, and the
rade is confined to this class of dealers. Prices
arc nominal.
Coffee.— The Coffee market has been at a stand
during the week. The cargo of Rio of recent im
portation, wkch we stated in our last was limited
at 12c. has been placed on the market. The limit
haring been removed, it is now subject to tho com
petition of buyers.
Molasses.— The transactions of the week ha ve
been confined Lb store lots. Cuba has been selling
a, prices ranging irom 20 a 22c ; as in quantity ;
and New Orleans at prices ranging from 30 a 33c.
per gallon as in quality.
Freights.— -Engagements hate been made to
Liverpool during the week at jld. for Cotton in
square bags, towards the close ol busine.-s, howev

Dix vs Stephens.
We publish below, in juxtaposition, the letter
of Mr. Dix and sn extract from the speech of
Mr. Stephens, on the annexation of Texas in
1845. Read them over carefully and then tell
us reader, if Mr. Dix is a freesoiler, what is
Alexander Hamilton Stephens, the represeii
t tive from Georgia, from the seventh district, in
Congress ?
Mr. Dix's Letter, 1853.
Ist. That I am not
and never have been an
abolitionist in any sense
Of’ that term. On tho
o.ntrary, I have been
an open and uniform op
ponent of all abolition
movements in this state,
and elsewhere, since
they commenced in 1835,
to tho present time.—
While in the Senate of
the United States. I op
posed the extension of
slavery to tree territory
—a question entirely dis
tinct from the interfer
ence with slavery where
it already exists. In tho
latter case, I have stea
dily opposed all external
interference with it.
2d. That I have on all
occasions, public and
private, since the Fugi
tive Slave Law passed,
declared myself in favor
ofcarrying itintoexecu
tion in good faith, like
orery other law of the
land.
3d. That I was in fa
vor of the union of tho
democracy of this state,
which was consummated
in 1850, continued in
1851 on the basis of tho
Compromise Measures,
and in 1852, on the basis
of tho Baltimore Plat
form.
4th. That I have,sinco
tho Baltimore Conven
tion, in Juno, 1852, re
peatedly given my pub
lie assent to its proceed- I
ings and acquiesced in |
its declarations, as an I
adjustment of disturbing |
questions, by which I
was willing to abide. |

Mr. Stephens' speech on
the annexation of Tex
as, 1845.
“Nor do I wish “to
hoax” gentlemen from
other sections upon this
point, as some havo inti
mated. I am candid and
frank in my acknowledg
ment. This acquisition
will give additional pow
er to tho southwestern
section in the national
councils; and for this
purpose I want it—not
that I am desirous to seo
an extention of tho “area
of slavery,” as somo gen
tlemen have said its ef
fect would be. I am no
defender of slovery in
the abstract. Liberty
always had charms for
me, and I would rejoice
to see all the sons of
Adam's family , in every
land and clime, in the
enjoyment of those rights
which are set forth in
our Declaration of In
depende nee as “no t u ral
and inalienable," if a
stem necessity, bearing
the marks and impress
of the hand of tho Crea
tor himself, did not, in
somo cases,interpose and
prevent. Such is the
case with States where
slavery now exists. But
I havo NO WISH TO
SEE IT EXTENDED
TO OTHER COUN
TRIES ; and if tho an
nexation of Texas wero
for the sole purpose of
extending slavery where
|it does not now, and
I would not otherwise
| exist, I SHOULD OP
POSE IT.
