Important in regard to Cuba.
The following article bearing on this subject,
which we find in the Washington Union of last
week, will be read with deep interest. We
have no doubt that it foreshadows the feelings
and purposes of the administration. It is thus
regarded by the National Intelligencer , which im
putes it to an official origin. The latter paper
we are sorry, but not surprised, to see, shows
indications of a purpose on this as most ques
tions mooted in our foreign relations, to take
sides against its own country. It is too bad—
but nevertheless a fact, that in all controversies
between the United States and other powers,
Americans will be found who have not one
throb of American feeling:
The rumors which have prevailed for some
time as to the interference of Great Britain in
the slavery question in Cuba are revived, with
circumstances of corroboration so strong that
there is but little room left for doubt as to their
truth. It has been about twelve years, if our
memory is not at fault, since Sir Robert Peel
justified the proposition to indemnily the own
ers ol slaves in Jamaica for their emancipation,
upon the ground that the measure of abolishing
slavery in that island would exert an influence
upon this continent, and that twenty millions
of pounds sterling would be well spent tor such
an object. That policy, as we believe, has been
steadily pursued by the British Government,
and is now actually consummated, or is about
being consummated, in the scheme of introduc- j
ing apprentices from Africa into Cuba, with the !
consent of Spain and under the protection of
British ships 01-war, to be worked for ten years
as slaves; with the further agreement that sla
very shall cease to exist in the island at tbe end
of fifty years. We have reason to believe, from
our private advices from Havana, that wealthy
Spaniards in Cuba are now negotiating for the
sale of African apprentices at fixed prices, in
anticipation of importations, for which arrange
ments have been made with the Government of
Madrid and sanctioned and guarantied by the
British Government. Iu that spirit of open
spoken freedom which ought to be the ruling
characteristics of an American press, we deem it
our duty to call the attention of the American
people to the information derived from these
significant facts. It becomes us to survey them
with calmness and determination. We w uld
not indulge in passionate denunciation, but we
speak as we would have our Government to act,
with promptness, firmness and energy.
As a question of humanity, the practical exe
cu’iou ot the scheme of Africanizing Cuba is re"
voifiiig to human nature. It has but to be look
ed at in this point of view to see in it a revival,
in its most hideous form, of the slave trade. Let
it be remembered that the condition of the ap
prentice lor the ten years ot his servitude is to
be stripped of those features in the slavery of the
United Spates which make humanity of treat
ment an object of interest as well as of duty to
the owner. The apprentice is to be sold into
bondage for ten years, and during that period is
to be subjected to such system of labor and
treatment as will prove most profitable to the
exactions ot unfeeling avarice. Ten years of
such bondage will he infinitely worse than a lite
time ofthiee-score years and ten of the slavery
which exists in our Southern States. Ten years
will become the limit or physical capability in
the apprentice; and if he survives this limit with
life, it will only be his lot to take his freedom
with no capacity to enjoy it. On the mere
question of humanity, the sentiment of the civ
ilized world ought to rise up and denounce it as
too shockingly barbarous to be tolerated.
But it is our duty to look at the movement in
its intended and its probable bearing upon our
national interests, and in this point of view it
presents a question ot momentous magnitude.—
Forming our opinion upon well authenticated
historical facts, we are justified in attributing to
Great Britain now the same motive which Sir
Robert Feel avowed in regard to the abolition of
slavery in Jamaica—the motive of exerting an
influence on the institutions of the United States.
If tbat motive was sufficiently strong in regard
to Jamaica to induce so distinguished a British
statesman to advocate an expenditure of twenty
millions of pounds, how much more potent may
we not suppose the inducement to be as to the
Africanization of Cuba! But the question is
not confined in its range to the probable influ
ence which a nation of free negroes may exert
upon the institutions of the Southern States, and
consequently upon the integrity of our Federal
Union. Viewed in this light, the efficient ac
tion of our Government is invoked by the most
obvious principles ot self-preservation.
Bearing in mind that this movement originates
with,or at least owes all its hopes of success to,
the counsels and the Great Britain,
we cannot avoid the conclusion that as it is to
be executed under the guarantees of the British
navy, so it must be made effectual by a continu
ed British protectorate over the Island of Cuba.
The effect is tbe transfer of Cuba from Spain to
Great Britain, making it substantially a British
instead of a Spanish province or colony. In this
aspect of the case, the decided action ot our Gov
ernment is demanded by that universally-ap
proved American sentiment which is prepared
to resist at ail hazards any attempt of any Euro
pean Power to interfere with the affairs of this
continent. Upon all these grounds the intelli
gence lrom Cuba indicates the approach of a
crisis which must settle the destiny of the Island.
6 av ® evei Y assurance in the past course of
the President and his Cabinet that they will dis
charge their duty with firmness and courage;
u 'Tu bave guaranty that their action
will be the result of the most deliberate and pa
triotic convictions. In view of a crisis so mo
mentous, the heart ol tne patriot President must
swell with emotions of national pride to know
that, with the exception of a few contemptible
fanatics, he will be backed and sustained to the
last extremity in his determination to follow the
dictates of humanity, to guard the constitutional
rights of all the States, to preserve the integrity
ot the Federal Union, and to resist the oppres
sions of British monarchy, by the united voice
and energies of a people who are jealous of their
honor, who aie informed of their rights, and who
are ready to stake life, liberty, and property on
the preservation of both. By all the considera
tions of interest, ot honor, of brood, we have ap
pealed to Great Britain to desist from her road
interference in our domestict concerns ; but our
appeal has been in vain, and we shall be compil
ed to throw ourselves back upon our rights and
our Government, guided by a helmsman who
knows neither fear nor dishonor, must stand by
these r ghts, and leave the consequnces to an
overruling Providence.
Further News from South America. We

new Government had issued an address to the
people, pledging themselves to maintain peace
and harmony, and to do everything to promote
the public good. Urqmza had pledged himself
to support the new Government.
J he Government has placed at the disposal of
Mr. Ldward A. Hopkins, U S. Consul to Para

T. he markets were brisk, and general business
was increasing. The productions of Spain and
the U. States draw good prices. Various sales of
dry skins had taken place; more arrivals of skins
were expected from the country, which would
have the effect of reducing prices. Skins for
North America were sold at 37 to 38 reals; for
Spain at 40 reals. Rio papers of the 3d ult. re

A Ship Larger than the Largest.— The
Newburyport Herald, referring to the launch of
the Gieat Republic, says: ‘"Mr. McKay, we
learn, will immediately commence the construc
tion of a ship larger than this,which he is to build
by contract. The theory has been started ©f
building a ship so large that she will pass
through the ocean with comparatively little mo-
tion, ploughing directly through the waves, with
out rising upon them, and so high above them
that the rolling of the highest waves will al
ways be below the decks. It is a daring
thought; but in view of what has been accom
plished already, who will venture to denounce it
as absurd. There are those bold enough to pre
dict that aship will yet be built that will pass
through the stormy waves on the ocean, with as
stately a progress as a vessel of one hundred tons
through a river in the same gale. If any one is
to realize the fruition of she dream, it is, we
doubt, Mr. McKay, if his life is spared five years
longer.”
[From the Chattanooga Advertiser.]
A Card.
Mr. Editor :—ln your Tri-Weekly ol the
18th, I discover the commission men of Chatta
nooga, have again attempted to impose on the
public. They have come out in joint advertise
ment in which they state that the agent of the
W. & A. R R. bad contrary to commercial usa
ges in all civilized countries,refused to pay char
ges on Produce or Merchandise, delivered to him
for shipment, this statement is utterly false and
unfounded. We pay all steam boat charges and
dray charges when presented in form, promptly
in cash. We only require those troublesome in
dividuals to bring their expense bills separately
for each lot of produce they deliver to us on
which they wish us to pay such bills, is entirely
tirely necessary to simplify the .transactions and
to show what portion are Steamboat charges, and
what portion other expenses and explains itself
when the charges are sent to consignees at desti
nation, which under the former practice frequent
ly was hard to understand. There is nothing
uncommon or onerous under the piesent regula
tion, neither can there be any valid objection
urged against it. It isolates the unneessary char
ges made by them at this place. The object of
those worthies was to get before the public in a
complaining way to excite the sympathy of the
North Alabama Cotton planters, and to misrepre
sent me to aid them in holding on to the heavy
tariff wrung from said planters which has en
riched a host of useless leaches who have gor
mandized upon their illgotton gain for years at
| Chattanooga. Another strong objection to the
| commission men of this point is that it delays
1 goi ds all of one day to pass through their houses,
we prepare the charges, and can deliver them to
boats the same day, when we deliver goods to
them it takes another day to duplicate our char
ges. .
It is not my character to pursue a routed ene
my, and it is a maxim with me to refrain from
smiting a fallen foe. But this manifest disposi
| tion on the part of the commission merchants to
I tiaduce and rnisrepiesent my character and rno
; tives. makes it a duty in self-defence to expose
; their fals J and malicious statements. Some time
! since, an article made its appearance in a North
; Alabama paper addressed to cotton planters and
! others, purporting to be a statement of a conversa
! tir>n had between me and Hooke & French and
Grenville & Sample. The article alleges that I
j attempted to induce them to patronize certain
: boats.to which I was friendly, and in opposition
|io the Williams line. The whole of this state
i ment is false and utterly unfounded. No such
I conversation ever took place between me and
| them or either of them. When I saw the name
! of French to the article, I was surprised, and
| called onitim. through a friend, to either avow
lor disavow his agency in the matter. He stated
j he never had seen the article or signed it, and
that no such conversation ever had taken place
in his presence. Mr. R. M. Hooke, of couise,
is responsible for placing the name of the firm
ito this false article. I will now give a few tacts
showing that, upon the subject of commission
matters, Mr. Hooke will utter false statements.
We commenced receiving and forwarding pro
duce and merchandise on the 13th day ot Sep
tember—some time thereafter, I received a letter
from Messrs. Southworth, Morgan & Neil, of
Fayetteville, Tennessee, dated September 19th.
1853, instructing me to turn over their goods to
Hooke & French; we were quite busy at the
time we received the letter of Messrs. South
worth, Morgan & Neil, and, without examining
into the matter, supposed we had forwarded
goods belom ing to them. We acknowledged
the receipt of their letter of instruction of tne
19th. We received an answer to that letter of
ours dated Sept. 30, in which letter, they
| (Messrs. Southworth, Morgan & Neil) state that
j they had wrote to Hooke & French complaining
! of the management ot their business, and that
j Hooke & French excused themselves by stating
that I had taken the management of their goods
into my own hands, and had thereby caused the
delay. What will moral individuals think of
R. M. Hooke, when they are informed upon this
subject ? Mark the sequel. Those identical
goods were delivered to Hooke & French, on the
7th day of September, as appears on record on
our check book, which is ready to be exhibited
at any time, and the delivery can be proven,
and the identical goods which R. M. Hooke sta
ted had been delayed by our arrangement of re
ceiving andforwatding, were in his possession
| tram the 7th ot September, ( mark that.) and we
i never commenced lorwarding until the 13th ; and
i further, we never fc warded one single package
| of goods to Southworth, Morgan & Neil, and yet
| this individual states positively that my action
| had produced this delay. Upon enquiry. I learn
; that the character of Southworth, Morgan &
Neil is above suspicion. This shows conclu
sively that R. M. Hooke has wilfully, wickedly
with malice aforethought, done me injustice,
and placed himself in an unenviable posi-
I tion.
I he firm of Grenville & Sample might or might
not have been signed by the first named gentle
men of that firm, as the other was. The con
temptible opinion I entertain for Mr. Charles E.
Grenville, has caused me to avoid any conversa
tion with him tor months past; we seldom speak
at all except to pass the civility of the day; and
I always leel in danger to enter into conversa
tion with him without some reliable person be
ing present. I defy either of those Shylock’s to
show ajyr testimony going to prove that I ever
mentioned this subject to them, which 1 never did,
unless they introduce commission evidence and
residents ot Chattanooga, who are parties to this
slander.
1 The prospect of great gain speedily obtained,
i has contaminated their mora!s,and when the least
! P ro spect of loosing their unholy gains presents
, itselt, they become desperate and in such des
j P? ration, they become reckless of truth, and pub-
I hsh any and every thing that they suppose will
tend to strengthen their sinking cause.

Good Crop of Corn.
We state upon the authority of the under
signed that, on the plantation of Jeremiah Dan
l lei, residing about five miles South of Marietta
; in Cobb county, there has been .aised, this year’
I upwards of twenty-one barrels of corn to the'
acre. This is certainly the best croppin- that
Iwe know of in this State. There is eight acres
! in the field which will average twenty barrels
; or over—a part of which is new ground, and
; was never tended before. This land is ou Nick
i ojack Creek, and has produced this crop without
manure or much work. Mr. Daniel has fifty
I acres of this kind of land in a body. This corn
, was plowed twice, and hoed once. We would
say, that il any farmer, in the State of Georgia,
j can beat this, we want to hear from him, and his
| manner of farming, to the proof:
We, the niidersigned, do certify, that we help
ed to measure, land and corn, and that one acre
measured off 107 bushels. 2 pecks. 4 quarts and
1 pint.

were Hiimon Swain, Dews and Dodge. While
the last named was making a speech in a cause,
the lirst three wrote on a strip of paper an epi

DAILY AND TRI-WEEKLY
Constitutionalist and Republic.
TERMS REDUCED.
Daily, in advance t.s6 00.
If not paid in advance 7 00.
Tri-Wrekly, in advance 4 00.
If not taid in advance 5 00.
To give a stiil wider circulation to the already
large and wide spread circulation of this paper,
the Proprietor offers the Daily at $6,00, and the
Tri-weekly at $4,00 to all new subscribers, and
to all the present subscribers who pay up ar
rearages, if any are due, and pay one year in
advance.
Those Daily and Tri-weekly subscribers who
have paid in advance, will be duly credited at
the old rates to the l«t prox, and at the new
rates after that date.
The increased facilities by mail for Daily and
Tri-weekly intelligence from Augusta, in every
direction, by the various Railroad lines leading
to this city, encourages the proprietor to make
this appeal for increased patronage. It is only
by a greatl y increased subscription list, he can
expect to be saved prospectively from the pecuni
ary loss this reduction immediately entails upon
him. He confidently relies upon the friends of
the paper to sustain this movement by their in
fluence and kind exertions.
The importance of Augusta as a leading com
mercial centre, and Depot of Agricultural pro
duce, and its facilities for disseminating intelli
gence commercial, political and miscellaneous,
will be conceded.
The value of a commercial, political, and news
Journal, properly conducted here, to those who
have facilities for receiving it daily or tri
weekly, it is unnecessary to argue. The claim
of the Constitutionalist S( Republic to be consider
ed such a Journal, is left to the judgment ol its
readers and the pu lie.
The Proprietor relies upon the friends of the
paoer in Augusta to obtain for it ub increased
city circulation.
Remittances by mail are at the risk of the
Proprietor.

Theatre—Sob Roy—Mr. Shrival.
The beautiful and stirring Drama of Rob Roy
was presented to an Augusta audience, on Thurs
day evening, in a style that deserves special
commendation. The great novel of Sir Walter
Scott, from which it is piepared, furnishes some
strong and leading characters, illustrative of the
sanguinary times during which the celebrated
Rob Roy McGregor figured. Some of these
have been intioduced with happy effect in the
present adaptation to the stage. Among them
is the world renowned character ot Bailie Nicol
Jarvie, the bare mention of whom conjures up a
smile on the face of every admirer of Scott’s
novels—a term which embraces every one in
Christendom of literary taste. This character
was most admirably personated by Buxton. He
furnished in it one of the most finished pieces of
acting we have witnessed in years.
Mr. Crisp, who always acts well, performed
most admirably the part of the Bold Outlaw,
Rob Roy, giving a most thrilling delineation of
the character of the free, fiery and proud High
lander, whose loyalty 4 to the House of Stewart,
could neither be bought or conquered.
Mrs. Crisp, as Helen McGregor, did much to
confirm the impression she has made here of be
ing h’ghly gifted as a melodramatic and tragic
actress. We are disposed to place her very high
on the roll of artistes in that department. Os
queenly majesty and grace, with a fine eye and
expressive features, she delivers passages alike of
deep and terrible passion and rage, with marvel
lous and irresistible effect; and in passages of
tenderest pathos, she is profoundly touching and
effective. She always dresses appropriately, and
in her bearing impresses the spectator, at once,
that she is an intelligent and superior woman,
fitted for the highest walks of her profession.
It gives us great pleasure to make mention of
our friend Mr. Shrival, an established favorite in
musical circles. He appeared in the character of
Francis Osbaldiston, and was most rapturously
greeted by his many friends present to witness
his debut on the occasion of his return to the
hoards alter an interval of years. His part was
the gem of the evening, and the exquisite songs
with which he interspersed the performance
long be held in most pleasing memory by
who were fortunately present. He was in de
lightful voice. We never heard him sing better.
We never saw' an audience better pleased, than
while listening to the rich melody of his cadence
and swell, as he poured forth some of his favorite
ballads. Two or three duets were sung also, in
which a part was borne by Miss Jessaline.
Should Hob Roy be repeated in Augusta, we
cordially recommend the play-going public to
attend. They will be well repaid. The charac
ters were on Thursday evening, without excep
tion, well sustained.
Buxton takes his benefit this evening, and
offers a bill full of fun. Go early.

The application was refused by the county
Judge of Loraine. He then removed the venue
to Ashland county, where he was successful, and
last week was married to Miss Wright, a neice
of the rejected wife.

List of Premiums.
We have already published a list of the dif
ferent articles to which premiums were award
ed or honorable mention made. The follow ng
are the remarks of the Secretary at the close of
his report:
The above list embraces the premiums award
ed at the annual Fair of the Southern Central
Agricultural Society, which closed on Friday
last in this city. '1 he incidents of such a busy
week certainly suggest many and varied reflec
tions to those who observed them, and which,
no doubt, might be of profit to those who are
hereafter to participate, either as managers or
exhibitors in our Fairs. Unfortunately, how
ever, lor him whose duty it has been made to
sum up the matter—the everlasting, u Just one
word with you, Mr. Lewis,” and step this way
a moment,” have left him without the ability or
inclination to indulge in reflections of his own.
To the remarks aud opinions of others we may
here briefly allude : It is said on all sides that
the number of exhibitors and visitors and arti
cles exhibited is below that of previous Fairs.
This is conceded. But it is true, at the same
time, that with the exception of field crops, hor
ticulture and floriculture, the exhibition has pro
duced more that is rare and valuable than has
ever any one exhibition. That the number of
articles is reduced, has probably been the result
of the new feature of the last premium list,
which offers no premium for a * second best” ar
ticle.
Two leading questions have been brought be
fore the ceuntry by this exhibition, which, ot
themselves, when satisfactorily settled, will well
repay the trouble and expense of holding it.
One of these questions is, What is the variety
of Cotton which will produce the best staple in
the Uplands of Georgia—with the mode ot cul
tivation aud management before ginning ?” The
gentlemen who were successtul competitors lor
the premiums of the Warehousemen and Society
will be called upon for their views in writing
upon this subiect, and these views, when sub
mitted, as they will be, to the public, will iairly
place this question belore the Planteis.
The next question that has been incidentally
but properly raised by this exhibition, is "whose
Gin gins the best cotton in the best way to pre
serve the staple.” This is a question as impor
tant to the Planter as to the Gin maker, and
which, in my humble judgment, it is important
to settle as soon as practicable. The successful
competitors lor the cotton premiums, will also
be called upon to state the qualities of the gia
and the name of its maker, as a beginning to
wards the settlement. Ido not know what the
lacts elicited by the late contest between the
gins would indicate. The gin of Mr. Latimer,
who took the first premium, was by Oglesby—
the gin of Mrs. Perrin, of Columbia, who took
the third pitcher, was by Wynn. Dr. Whitten’s
gin, who took the 20 bale cup of the Society,
was either by Oglesby or Henderson,of Coving
ton. The 10 bales ot Mr. T. J. Smith which
took the Society’s cup. were five by Parkburst,
and five by Oglesby’s saw gin. So that perhaps
nothing conclusive has yet been reached on this
point. I suggest that the manufactuiers ot gins
have their machines on the ground at the next
Fair, and that they be tested by ginning cotton
ot the same quality and a comparison of the
staples Ire., when ginned.
The Society has closed its Eighth Annual
Meeting with a larger amount of silver plate on
hand and a larger cash balance, than ever before
—and what is better, w ith having produced a
stronger conviction in the public mind, of the
power of such a Society when well organized
and conducted to do good. The inefficiency of
the organization, as it now stands has engaged
the a’tention of the Executive Committee, and
they have appointed a special Committee to pre
pare an address to the people in December next,
upon the importance and plan of perfecting it.
The great desideratum is a permanent fund and a
permanent membership. Both could be obtain
ed by admitting life members at twenty-five
dollars each, by which a large fund may be had,
the interest only of which shall be used lor Socie
ty purposes. D. W Lewis, Secietary.

We regret to state that Maj. Robert G. Gue
rard died iti this city, yesterday morning, at 11

died. The deceased was in the prime of life,
and in the enjoyment ot excellent health at the
time of his attack. He was highly esteemed in
this city tor his energy and integrity of charac
ter and for his many social virtues, and his death
will be lamented, not only by his immediate
family, but by a large circle of friends.— Sav.

The British Mail Steamship Conway.—
This vessel, whose arrival at this port last Sat
urday for repairs we have noticed, was yester
day taken into the dry dock, and we are pleased
to learn that although her injuries were consid
erable, they were not serious, as was at first ap
prehended. This is the heaviest ship ever be
fore put into this dock ; although drawing thir
teen feet wafer, she passed in easily, the gate
was closed, and the water purupee, out all in the
short space of four hours. We congratulate the
Dry Dock Company upon this proof of their
ability and capacity to accommodate ships ofthe
largest class. The repairs on the Conway are
progressing, and she will be fitted for sea with
all possible dispatch.— lb.
Guano Substitute —For some past it has
been a subject of research, among chemists, to
produce a merchantable article that shall possess
the fertilizing properties of Peruvian Guano. A
prize of £IOOO sterling had been olfrred by the
Royal Agricultural Society of F.ngland for the
production of such an article, provided that it
be sold at the rate of £5 per ton. Mr. Edwin
Petit, London, claims to have discovered the de
sideratum, which he calls fish guano, but relusps
to apply for the piize. on grounds which appears
not unreasonable. His letter on the subject says:
“ Would it be a prize to receive £IOOO on
condition that I shall sell an article at £O, when
its ascertained market value is £9 per ton.
Give me a fleet of Fishing boats, and I will
make as much Guano in twenty-four hours as
the myriads of Peruvian birds will make in a
year—of as good a quality, and very much lower
price.”
If this be true, it is important; the consump
tion o! Peruvian guano in Britain being now
from 190.000 to 1)00.000 tons per annum. We
commend the subject to the attention of Ameri

Episcopal General Convention— Sixteenth
Day—lt was ordered that 3.000 copies of the
journal of the proceedings of the convention be
published. Judge Chambers, ot Maryland,THov
ed a change of the time ot holding the General
Convention The constitution fixes it on the
first Monday of October. The proposition was
to change it to the third Wednesday of Septem*
ber. The motion was lost.
A canon to provide lor such cases, hereafter,
as that of Dr. Ives, was passed. It makes the
diocese abandoned in such manner ipso facto va
i carit - This repeals canon l, of 1853, under
which Bishop Ives was deposed. It was, how
| ever, subsequently rejected by the House es
Bishops, when a committee of conference was
appointed.
Ihe House of Bishops also refused to concur
in selecting Baltimore as the next place for
holding the Triennial Convention. Philadel
phia w'asfinally agreed upon.
A new canon in relation to the ordination of
Deacons was adopted, and much other business,
of no general interest transacted. Yesterday
( Tuesday) morning was fixed upon for the final
adjournment.
Effects of a Tight Monet Market on ‘
Bobtails —The New York Day Book thus no- i
tices a peculiar feature of the present “tight” j
money market: “The pressure in the money
market has brought a large number of fancy
horses into the market lor sale. Young mer
chants and brokers, waose purses have been de
pleted by the fall of stocks and other causes, have
suddenly discovered that they have enough to
do to take care of their business, their notes and !
themselves, without attending to trotting hor- i
ses. 1 heir nags, therefore, are for sale. Then,
again, feed has'rizj the stable keepers have put |
up the price of keeping’ from sls to S2O a month: j
this takes the starch out of the stiff ones, and j
they ‘backed down,’ Who’ll buy a horse'?” I
Mr.; Toombs. —The suggestion made by the |
Constitutionalist of the propriety of the passage
* vr 6 ,“ e 3 ls^llre resolutions of instruction
to Mr. loombs, meets with general favor from
the democrats of the State. Mr. Toombs is not
a fit representative ot the public sentiment of
Georgia. lor th s Stat'e is thoroughly democra
tic, and were the election to come off now , when
the tricks of the Conservative party are under
stood. Judge Johnson would be elected by ten
thousand majority. Mr. Toombs should there
lore be requested by the Legislature to resign
his post of United States Senator. We have no
idea that he would obey the instructions of his
constituents. But such a course by the Legisla
ture would show him in his true position. Go
back to the time of his election two years ago.
Ask the Union democrats who aided in his elec
tion, if they were not deceived and cheated?—
Mr. Toombs was elected by the influence and
votes of Union democrats. Are they satisfied
with him as their Senator? By no means
1 hey have been utterly disappointed in him.—
They have a right then to call upon him to
place them where they were before his election,
or if not, then it is their privilege and dutv to
declare in the most solemn form, that he is not
the representative of them or their principles.—

French Merino Bucks. —Messrs. W. and P.
Brady, ot Ohio county, Va., shipped from Wheel
ing on Friday, on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, three of their finest French Merino bucks,
and three ew'es, for exhibition at the Maryland
and Virginia State Fairs. Among them is the
celebrated Gilbert buck, which has so often ta
ken the first premium, and for which, it is said,
SIOOO was offered and relused at the Pennsyl
vania State Fair The clip of this one buck
alone, last April, was 31£ pounds.
Pennsylvania Coal Trade. —The Anthra
cite coal trade continues active. During the
past week the Reading railroad brought down
33,139 tons, making a total for the season 1,365,-
379 tons, against 1.456.668 for the same time
last year—decrease 91.289 tons The Schuyl
kill Navigation brought down for the week,
26.022 tons, and tor the -eason 709.391, being an
increase of 55,216 tons over the same peiiod last
year; and the Lehigh brought down for the
week 35.127 tons, and for the season 827,506
tons, which is a decrease of 88,165 tons compared
with the same period last year. The shipments
by the Delaware and Hudson Canal reached 20,-
154 torts last week, arid 388.022 tons for the sea
son. In order to get down the greatest possible
quantity, ten dollars premium per trip has been
promised to boatmen whose trips are made in
eleven days. A scarcity of boats will curtail the
shipments.
A London paper gives an account of the good
luck and gratitude ot a common sailor, upon un
expectedly corning into possession of a fortune of
860.000. Hr belonged to her majesty’s ship
Lea rider, and during the fitting of the vessel, and
since his return to that port, Jack was frequent
ly an inmate of that excellent establishment, the
Devoriport Sad rs’ Home, and, being not less
wayward than he others of his class, Lieutenant
Barnard, the master, had frequent occasion to
place the sailor under restrictions as to his ex
penditure. and this saved him from the waste of
his hard earnings, for which, in his reasonable
moments he was always thankful. On hearing
of his good fortune, Jack proceeded to his friend
at the Home, announced the tact, and solicited
Lieutenant Barnard to become his future guide
and the protector of his money, offering him. at
the same time, the command of a yacht, which
it was his determination to keep, with a salary
of .£SOO a year. The lieutenant hesitated, but,
on Jack’s earnestly urging his request, at last
consented, stating, at the same time, that he
should be q lite content with the proffered in
come, it it were guaranteed for thr-e years. A
bargain was at once struck, a lawyer brought,
and a bond entered into that the agreement m ght
assume a legal form, and Lieut Barnard left with
his sailor friend for Leith.
Truth and Common Sense.—A writer in
the Philadelphia North American gives utter
ance to the following truthful arid common
sense sentiments. The thought ought to be
f eely impressed upon the mind of every teach
er and parent in ti e country :
“ Children now-a-days, carry to and from
school loads of books, and recite from them daily,
without understanding even the meaning of the
subject they are studying; the basis, the elements
of knowledge are overlooked, while high sound
ing names (all the ol *gies) are paraded before
the minds of ambitious parents, through the me
dium of promising circulars. Meanwhile the
good old fashioned arts of spelling and reading
and understanding what you read, are neglected
as too common place for classes that have reach
ed geology, astronomy, and moral philosophy!”
Important Improvement and Economy in
the Manufacture of Flour. —A recent Eng
lish paper contains a detailed account of a re
markable invention, which is likely to effect a
complete revolution in the manufacture of dour.
The improvement consists in the substitution of
conical tor dat millstones. It was stated, by a
committee of the House of Parliament, that by
this invention 81,857,120 quartern loaves, in ad
dition to those which are now made from the
same quantity of wheat, would be produced,
giving a clear saving of upwards of £2, 000,000
per year.
The conical” mill is intended to obviate the
defects of the flat mill. The beneficial changes
effected may be succintly enumerated. First,
the reduction of the weight of the running stone
from 14 cvvt. to 1£ cvvt, by p'acing it beneath
instead of upon the fixed one; second, the reduc
tion of the size ot the stones in the proportion
of 3 34 to 1 ; and thirdly, the giving to the stones
a new form—that of the frustrum to a cone.
The average of lessening the diameter and
weight of a mass, ot which the one is 4 cwt.,
and the other 4 cwt., will be apparent, when it
is considered that its effective velocrty is 120
revolutions per minute, and that this velocity
must he sustained against the enormous friction
of the grinding surfaces. The altered position
of the running stones admits of a much more
delicate adjustment of the opposing surfaces, and
gives to the miller an easy and effective control
over the most important portion of his opera
tion. The conical form facilitates the discharge
ol the flour, and obviates the clogging and over
heating ot the old practice. In add Pion to these
advantages, by a judicious modification of the
ordinary mode of dressing, or rather by a combi
nation of the mill with the dressing machine, a
perfect separation of the flour from the bran is
effected at the moment the grist escapes from
the stones. The bran still remains in the mill
and falls by its own gravity, to a second pair of
stones in ail respects resembling those already
described.
A Scene in Court.— Wm. E. Haskell was
convicted at Alfred, Mo., a few days ago. of
breaking into a store, and sentenced to the peni
tentiary tor four years. After his sentence he
desired the sheriff to accompany him back to
prison, but a deputy being designated for the j
purpose. Haskell immediately knocked him down i
and lought like a tiger all who approached him I
He was, however, (i ;a!ly secured, when it was ■
ascertained he had prepared a bludgeon with 1
which to murder the sheriff. 'I he court, on as
certaining this fact, reconsidered the sentence,
and sent him to the penitentiary for 17 years.

SAVANNAH, Oct. 28.— Cotton —Arrived since
the 21st inst. 6,710 bales Upland (5,246 per railroad,
1,464 from Augusta and landings on tho river,)
and 102 . do. Sea Islands. The exports for tho
same period amount to 2,479 bales Upland, and
104 do. Sea Islands, viz . to New York 2201 bales
Upland, and 77 do. Sea Islands; and to Charleston
278 bales Upland, and 27 do. Sea Islands—leaving
on hand and on shipboard not cleared, a stock
ol 17,370 bales Upland, and 334 do. Sea Islands,
against 19,170 bales Upland, and 196 do. Sea
Islands, at the same time last year.
Tbe most important fact in relation to the Cot
ton crop that requires notice this week, is tho frost
of Monday night. There are various o; inions as
to the extent of the damage, but it seems not to
have injured vegetation to so great an extent as is
usual wit aso heavy a frost. It was quite percepti
ble in every part of Georgia that we have heard
from; but in many places, appears not to have done
much damage. In some places, however, we think
the injury to Cotton must have been considerable.
Our market has not exhibited much animation
at any time during the week, and tho prices paid
have been quite irregular with a feeling in favor of
buyers. Prices have declined half a cent. No
foreign news has been received since our last, and
there has been very little change in prices at one
time: but a gradual decline all the week. The
market opened on Friday at irregular prices, and
during the day 507 bales changed hands. On Sat
urday the sales were only 93 bales ; on Monday
222 ;on Tuesday 39i ; on Wednesday 183; and
yesterday 98 bales. As later foreign news is hour
ly expected the market was quite dull yesterday at
the following quotations :

CHARLESTON, Oct 28. — Cotton. —A panic
seemed to rest upon the Cotton market during the
whole of the previous week, as the transaetions
were attended by an unusual degree of depression,
and when we closed our inquiries most qualities
had receded in value all off to Ic. per lb., the mar
ket closing, so far as the middling and lower quali
ties are concerned, in an unsettled and uncertain
state respe. ting the future. The aspect ot affairs
in the forepa t of the week under review, had by
no means improved the condition of holders, as
the early transactions fully demonstrated; a sudden
change in the weather, however, on Tuesday,
which became quite cold on Wednesday, cold
enough as was thought at the time, to bring frost in
its train, checked the downward tendency of prides,
which, during the latter day rather stiffened, hol
ders haying realized terms they could not previous
in obtain; but as the frost accounts were not sub
sequently confirmed, the market soon relapsed into
its former state, as the transactions of yesterday,
which reached upwards of 1100 bales, showed a
range of figures corresponding with those current
during the first three days of the week.
In revising our quotations at the close of busi
ness, we find that the qualities bolow Good Mid
dling are f to fc. easier than they were this day
woof, whilo the higher qualities have sustained
their former position, owing to their comparative
scarcity. The receipts since our last reach 8213
bales, and the sales in the same time foot up 6100
ba.es at the following prices, viz; 296 bales 7- j
17 at 71 ; 26 at 7|; 216 at 7* ; 50 at 7f ; 336 at !

din ary to Good Ordinary, 72 a 8*; Middling to i
Good Middling 8| a9£ ; Middling Fair, a 92;

Tho tnarkot has been very quiet for all descrip
tions of Long Cotton, and as to prices, we ha\e
nothing to offer, as there has not been enough done
since the opening ol tho season to establish quota 1 i
tions. Tho sales this week have beon limited to 10 !
bales. Tho receipts since our last comprise 185 !

Flour. —There has been a moderate demand for I
j this article during tho week, and upwards of 2000 !
j barrels have changed hands, 700 a 800 barrels of '
which were taken for export. Baltimore has boon
selling principally at $7 ; and choice country at
S6J per barrel.
Bacon.—A moderate business has been done in
Shoulders and Sides, at prices within the range of
present quotations. VV e also note sales of upwards
; of 8» hhds. Fitcho's Hams at 14$ cents per !b.
Salt. —The receipts since our last comprise some
5000 sacks Liverpool, and 300 and 400 bushels
Turks Island. The demand for tho former is be
ing supplied at $ 1.35 per sack. The latter brought
I 270 per bushel.
| Sugars— Our Sugar market since the date of

; stagnation. The transactions, so far as we have
boen able to learn, having been limited to some
40 hhds. Muscovados, at prices ranging from 5 and

Freights. — We quote Cotton to Liverpool in
square bags at 7-16thsd. A vessel has been taken
