Ccmmrrnal. p rjm lUr Evening Edition of Yesterday ] ,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 c l® at» :9 at 9*; 102 at 9* ; 28 at 9}* 445 at 111 33;] at 10* ; 83 at 10 3-16 ; 79 at 10* ; 177 at i/|] ■ 4<j at 10 7-16 ; 182 at 10* ; 167 at 10 9-1# : 293 at 10*: 64 at 10 11-16 ; 452 at 10* ; 173 at 111 7 a nd 100 bales at 11c.

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.

Corn.— The Corn market fully sustains the po fiii mit occupied at the closo of the previous wook.

GEORGE SCHLEY. 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. | The Algerine Law.

GEORGE SCHLEY. jan 13 lyis “CLOVER AND OTHER GRASS SEED. UKJJ and White Ciove, Lucerne, Herds, Blue, Simothyand Orchard Grass Seed, for sale wholeealo or retail by WM. HAINES, sept 28 Broad-street, Augusta, Geo, 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.
