A Card.
Mr. Editor :—A communication from Wil
liam N. Bishop, in your issue of Saturday last,
demands notice; and I give it, though not as
part of a controversy. I have long since learn
ed that, no matter how corrupt that agent’s acts
may be—bowevei arbitrary his disposition, how
ever abusive in his intercourse, and regardless
of laws or others’ rights—there is a fixed determi
nation on the part of the present Georgia State
Road authorities to uphold him. I have learned
the inutility of appeal by petition for redress of |
grievances, or investigation into his course,
whether made by special charges in writing to
the chief of the road or the Governor of Georgia,
or whether by distinct charges through the pub- ,
lie prints—charges of so serious a nature as to be
re-echoed from press to press in Georgia, and
there commented on as deserving the strictest
investigation and severest punishment; while
partial presses have, in irony, declared “it was
the Governor’s sworn duty to investigate, and
it would be done to the writer’s heart’s content!” '
Those charges vrt exist. They have never
been enquired i.ito —while I hold the sworn
proof to substantiate each before a proper tribu
nal. Those proofs will come torward in a court
of justice if the road authorities do not continue
to protract a hearing.
The object of a controversy, I should suppose,
ought to be to elicit truth, upon which justice
would be awarded. When an inducement for its
promulgation occurs, I will not be backward in
resoriing to controversy ; until that time, vulgar
assailment of my individual character will be
regarded only as to the source lrom which it
may spring.
The recent assault of the road agent, General
Bishop, is nominally given as a reply to a card,
with which the public has but little interest:
but really is intended lor a joint card which has
recently appeared bearing the signature of the
firm l represent, and of another of this city—and
which has, lortunately, made its appearance in
leading Georgia journals: the principal point of
which ha;-- reference to the fact, that Gen. Bishop
did make oveitures to a gentleman of the first
respectability and of unimpeached veracity, and
who, over his own signature, has given the fact
to the public, the substance of which was “ that,
if the firm, of which he was a member , would give
their patronage and influence to a certain line of
boats to be established ,” (and which recent cir
cumstances have proved the agent had a direct
and controlling ownership in) “ he, the agent,
from the position he occupied, would throw the prin
cipal portion of the forwarding business through
their hands,” —naming, also, as parties to the
transaction, S. R. McCarny, his son-in-law, (in
whose business he takes a ('irect interest.) and
Messrs. J. F. Brooke & Co., all forwarding'mer
chants in trade. That proposition being de
clined, he at once wages opposition against the
whole class of forwarding merchaats, and. in
violation of all laws, assumes entire control over
shipments of goods passing through his depot
forcing them from their proper channel; brings
his own boat into the trade, where it was before
not employed, and ships the goods in his own
name notwithstanding protests were made with
the original bills of lading in the hands of the
proper consignees, who were there to claim
them. This course was kept up until necessity
compelled the interference of the law powers to
stop him. Now he stigmatises them as “ trou
blesome individuals’’—“useless leaches, who
have gormandized upon ill-gotten gain,” and
closes by stating “the prospect of great gain
speedily obtained has contaminated their morals,
and when the least prospect of loosing their un
holy gains presents itself, they become desperate,
and in such desperation, they become reckless of
truth, and publish any and every thing that they
suppose will tend to strengthen their sinking
cause.” Yet, Mr. Editor, strange as it may ap
pear, that agent exults that his tenure of office
exist, and he feels at liberty to traduce ad libitum.
knowing none have the recklessness to hold hirn
to account, and feeling that the people of Geor
gia, through their agents, sustain him and ap
prove of his vituperations. If the commission
merchants could have forgotten themselves, or
their duties to their patrons and the public, and
had given countenance to his indirect proposition
of bribery, there would have been no objections
made against them as a class, but, on the contra
ry, strong reasons assigned for their support, (if,
indeed, the attention of those in authority had
ever been called to their existence.) His ob
ject was personal, to secure for his boats all the
transportation possible, and neither to reduce the
prices of his freight, as his own captain affirmed
was not his intention, or to break up a class of
merchants whose services be now charges are an
unnecessary evil and a nuisance. That object
is still pursued by sending all freights which he
may have reason for controlling entirely in his
own boat —delaying them in depot, while his
boat is for days repairing, or while despatched on
a different direction ; and this, too. notwithstand
ing other boats regularly established and pre-ex
isting have advised him they would receive all
goods which he was legally entitled to ship— but
not one package of which has been offered them
The commission merchants and merchants
generally have, from year to year, been compel
led to urge complaints against him. Public
meetings have been held, special' committees ap
pointed. and resolutions passed denouncing his
► aeency; petitions have been forwarded for a
change of management: all of which have been
unheeded ; while their only responses have b«uTn
personal attacks published to the world traducing
their private characters; until now one prefers
to submit to almost any inconvenience rather
than be subject to the indignity which any out
ward compiairit will certainly draw upon him.
The authorities of the State Road preaume un
wisely. that this section of country is incompe
tent for change—that the same agency is re
quired for a protection of its interests which
was employed in the days of John Howard
Payne. Outlaws and savages may have then
been its inhabitants ; at present, it certainly has
claims to greater respect.
i hat it may be seen that the commission and
forwarding interests have just cause for com
plaint, 1 append a few of the stringent and ab- j
surd rules which at present are in force—prom- j
ising that no rule usually lasts long enough to be
understood, and all are characterized by the
same incapacity to properly regulate commercial
matters. Nineteen-twentieths of the entire
trade of Chattanooga mist necessarily pass
through the hands of the forwarding merchant,
and this notwithstanding the road’’proffers its
services free of commission. The nature of the
produce, the uncertainty of the market, the par
ticular requirements of this and connecting roads
added to their incomplete arrangements, for even
doing their home trade will, for a continued
length of time, make their services indispensi- !
ble. With complete shipping arrangements but!
few, I apprehend, would care to confine their at- j
tertion to that department, and which even now ;
is attended with barely a remunerative pro
nt.
Will not the intelligent Georgia merchant ;
snr j*.‘ e w " Ke ” e peruses a few of the requirements '
which are monthly issued, announcing some I
new regulation to be enforced during the conve- j
nience of the agent. One standing rule now is
as to the marking of a package. A metchant !
has an order for 1000 bushels of grain, cotton or !
any produce from Savannah or Augusta, to fill a I
foreign orJer—perhaps, as is often the'case to •
be sold subject to a return of sacks— to ship that >
corn the merchant must brand first his own ini- !
tiais on the sack—then the initials of the con- j
sigriee—then the name of the city—and finally
the name of the load on which that city is loca
ted—thus : “G. &S. T, W. F., Augusta, G. R. I
R ” upon each sack, mutilating and destroying
its value, as if there were a dozen Augustas, Sa- i
vannahs or Charlestons. The least emission of;
one of these marks will cause the return of a 1 <
whole dray load a distance of one mile, and ! <
through any kind of road or weather. A roll of J
gunny bagging may pass from Calcutta via (
Chattanooga to St. Louis with but a single let- j l
ter to distinguish it; while to pass twenty miles s
down this road, one has to brand its whole his- ,c
tory. It would be but a trille trouble more to i
brand the date of its shipment, and the charges I c
accruing upon it, and thus dispense with other v
records of it— at least, we would be saved the 11
compliance of an order as absurd as the follow- !
ing:
Office W. &A.R. R. ) j
Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 19.1853. (
Messrs. Grenville & Sample, Gents : Af
ter this date, all expense bills paid by you for
transportation ot produce or merchandise to
steamboats intended to pass through our agency
will be required to be made out separately from
other expense bills and for each lot, and signed j
by the clerk of the steam! oat, acknowledging
the receipt of the payment of the charges. The i
receipt of the clerk must specify the number and ;
character of the packages, from what point ship
ped and their intended destination, and present
ed for payment at the office immediately after
the delivery of the last package of the lot at our
platform, or as soon as the last package is deliv
ered of the lot intended to be shipped on each
day. That is, the charge for expense bills on
the packages, if intended to be presented to us for
payment, it must be done on the same day. and
at the time specified that the packages are sent
to us, and at least by tour o’clock of each day,
at which time we shall close receiving freights
only at our convenience until further notice.
The cash will, in all cases for freight, be re
quired when we deliver you our freight list or
statement of packages ready for delivery for the
day, which statement will generally be ready by
12 o’clock.
All statement of packages made out and sign
ed by us as delivered, will, of course, be subject
to correction, and will, when errors are pointed
out, be promptly corrected.
Very lespectfully,
William N. Bishop, Ag’t.
PS.—Please take particular notice that all
old marks on packages must be obliterated, and
others plainly marked on each separate package,
giving the consignees or their initials, the des i
nation fully written, and the initials of the last
railroad such packages are intended to pass over,
and marked with ink on the packages.
Wa decline receiving checks in payment of
freights, and no tunds can. in any instance, be
taken, only such as are at par value in our rail
road cities—to-wit: cities on or at the terminus
of our road and those connecting with ours.
Bishop, Agent.
Now, under this regulation, and it is only a
whim of the agent, we are compelled to dray all
produce one mile, and confine our whole days’
business, with shipment charges, &c., delivered
by 4 o'clock. From 12 until 1 o’clock business
is entirely suspended at the depot; consequently
all arrangements must be made to conform to
those two ill-timed hours.
Again : not until one o’clock can we now re
ceive any package from the depot, although un
tiil the past tew weeks, our receipts were inva
riably delivered in the morning; Draymen have
no loading for a return trip, and consequently
expenses are double. And this arrangement ex
ists, too, notwithstanding formerly each mer
chant’s goods were placed to themselves on the
platform; while now they are purposely all turn
ed out in one mass, each and every one most p r
plexingly mixed together. On going to the depot ,
an unnecessary paper containing a list of the
charges is handed our cleik, worded as fo’lows:
“Messrs. G. & S. will please come to the de
pot, and receive the above packages of merchan
dise, which are now ready for delivery to your
agency, you paying the amount specified above
for freight. Willivm N. Bishop, Ag’t.”
This bill paid, not a package can be examined
until the following extraordinary receipt, also
printed is signed :
‘ Received from William N, Bishop, agent, the
above described packages of merchandise, &t\,
&c.: all ot which are in good order, and are to
be forwarded in like good order to consignees or
owners at their proper destination, on the pay
ment of freight, &c. at usual rates, or as per
agreed upon.”
It has happened oftentimes those packages are
many days behind, some in bad order, and in
some instances they have been forwarded against
our will on his own boat, although we had pre
viously paid the freight. In some instances we
have paid the freight twice upon the same pack
age—and in others, goods are not yet delivered.
We are besides otherwise greatly inconvenienc
ed and purposely annoyed. As before remarked,
we are not informed until one o’clock < f the
amount of our freight bills ot the day, or if we
aie to have any delivery. Our circulation and
collection are Tennessee funds only; and to pro
vide means for payment of charges, we are com
pelled to purchase funds current in Savannah
and Charleston, to pay the freights and ship
charges over those roads ; while our Bank of De
posits has agreed to cash all checks given to him
in notes which are current and command specie
in Augusta; but because it is a convenience, he
now positively declines the reception of checks
in payment, although he has never had one dis
honored.
Again, Mr. Editor, under his arrangement, we
are compelled to send in several bills for any
package. Thus a planter, merchant or other
person consigns a package to the care of some
forwarding house, custom has invariably been
here as el ewhere, for the commission merchant
to annex his charges to the bill for the expenses
incurred, and to collect the amount from the next
carrieren route , who finally collects the whole
amount from the consignee. The parties having,
at all times, a lien on the goods, with actual pos
session, until the expenses are fully paid. On
every well organized route in tie whole coun
try this is a common custom, whether the con
nection is by railroad, ship or steamboat. This
custom, however, has been recently abolished
here, and while they agree to pay the actual
freight paid out,they will not recognize proper
and legitimate charges, and we are compelled to
collect drayage; cooperage and commissions as
best we may; thereby producing hindrances to
shipments instead of facilitating them.
1 he agent even defines the precise wording of
a freight bill, which no steamboat on the river is
willing to procure; and even requires the re
ceipts; while for thousands ot dollars he collects
monthly, for the South Carolina Railroad, and
ship charges, not one is ever receipted. It is
from t he inconveniences arising from the increas
ed expense devolving upon forwarding agents
here, that they have felt it necessary to insert
t e advertisement regularly appearing in your
columns.
1 find I am lengthy in this communication, but
as i write for the information ot others, rather
than for this community, and for the benefit of a
class most unjustly villified, I may as well be
explicit, as I hope, under no consideration, to
have recourse to your columns again. With one
personal matter I close. The agent, in closing
his communication, states his personal disaffec
tion towards me for a long time past. This was
ce . r y. n y news, inasmuch as in the presence of a
reliable person, some few weeks since, he was far
more gracious, at the time, when he desired me
to withdraw from the Circuit Court, the suit
I which his acts had forced me to establish In
i the presence of that witness, he stated he was
authorized by Gov. Cobb and Mr Yon-e, and
had letters to the point, to have the case referred
in any equitable manner; stating they would as
sent to it. Under that arrangement, I agreed to
the following, which is in the agent’s owm hand
writing :
Chattanooga, Tenn., July 20, 1853.
Mr. Charles E. Grenville and myself have
agieed to refer all matters, now in dispute, con
nected with a suit pending in Harrison Court,
upon the following conditions : Our attorniesare
to represent our interest on each side, and if they
cannot agree, they are to agree upon an umpire,
and after said settlement shall be communicated
;it shall become the judgeme.it of the Court. I
; re P r esent the entire interest of the road in the
; case, and provided Mr. Grenville’s council should
i determine that my agency in the matter was not
i of sufficient effect and fully binding, I agree to
A®. a PP rov aI of the General Superinten
dent to this agreement, or any other authority
t lat may be considered necessary; and it is fur- 1
tner agieed, that neither of the parties shall take i
advantage ofthis agreement, at this term of the
court, to oppress the other.
a , \\t c a \Y ILUam N - Bishop,
Agent, W. & A. Railroad, Chattanooga.
J agree to the above. C. E. Grenville
As Mr. Younge has, in person, disclaimed any
authority on the part of the agent to make any
such agreement, and has intimated that he would
not be bound by it, this notice is publicly »iven
that it will no longer be acknowledged by°my-
Very respectfully.

! WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2. ]
Theatre—Mr. Crisp’s Benefit.
The play-going pub’ic are much indebted to (
Mr. Crisp for his untiring efforts to merit their ■
approbation, and minister to their intellectual
entertainment —efforts which, we are free to say,
| have been marked by good taste and discern
ment, as well as by an anxious desire to please.
Augusta-has been fortunate in having Mr.
as the lessee for the present season. He is him
self, a very superior actor, a man of talents and
acquirement, well versed in dramatic literature,
and an excellent judge of histronic merit. He
has made use of his opportunities and experi- ,
ence to bring together a choice dramatic corps,
and has, during the present season, afforded his
Augusta audi'ories some choice entertainments. ,
We hope the patrons of the Drama among us ,
will evidence their appreciation of him by a
full and fashionable house this evening, when he
j takes a benefit. On that occasion he will offer
1 the following attractive bill: Pizarro, the Hunt-
I . '
| ing Act ot London Assurance, and Box and Cox
] Air. Crisp and Company visit Savannah, and
j will make their first appearance at the Athen
| £Bum on Thursday evening. They will perforin
! in Savannah three nights and go thence to Mil
j ledgeville.
A New Theatre.
We understand several gentlemen in our city
i have it in contemplation to build a New Thea
j tre for Mr. Crisp. A building of this description
is now much needed, and we think would pay a
I good interest on the investment. Our popula
tion is daily increasing, and the building at pre
| sent in use lor theatrical performances, is not
only badly arranged, but too small. We would
like to see a new Theatre erected in some cen
tral situation on Broad Street, and placed under
the charge of Mr. Crisp. It would do a prospe
rous business, for he is not only a good actor
himself, but one of the best Managers, we have
meet with.
The Exchange.
This is the name of a Restaurant formerly
kept by Messrs. I. P. Girardey & Co., under the
name of the “National Coffee House,” on the
lower part of Broad street, which has been
transferred to Messrs. llitzfield& Borchers, who
promise to keep the best. If you are hungry or
thirsty, give them a call. See the advertisement*
Tine Eegars.
We see among the consignees per steamer Is
abel, arrived at Charleston from Havana, the
names of Dawson & Skinner, 42,000 segars.—
j The lovers of the weed in this city and surroun-
I ding country will, no doubt, soon have an op-
I portunity to puff as well as we editors.
Hon. John A. Dix and the Adminstration.
—This gentleman in a reply dated the 24th ult.
to a request to address a meeting at Rochester

. generously sustained, approves its policy as far
as developed, particularly in the Koszta case, and
! highly commends, from personal knowledge, the
! Treasury Department, as worthy of praise.

Spring Place, Ga., Oct. 31, 1853.
Mr. Gardner: There are many conjectures
why the Democracy of the Cherokee country
did not unite upon Democratic men and prin
ciples. You will readily perceive that many,
| very many, indeed, withheld their suffrage. Had
they have cast their votes for Johnson, his ma
jority would have been swelled two thousand;
on the other hand, it they had cast their votes
lor Jenkins, he would have been the Governor.
1 be reason ot this is, in the contest which car
ried Howell Cobb to the Gubernatorial Chair,
many and very many, were disappointed. The
| offices were filled by Whigs and Union Demo
crats, and many more of the former than the
j which created a jealousy that is not very
easily got over. Notwithstanding the union of
both wings of the Democratic party upon the
Baltimore Platiorm, there yet remained a jeal
: ousy lingering in the bosoms of each wing,
which prevented that harmony that was so
much desired by true men fiom each wing of the
parly; and here permit me to add, that they nev- ,
er will unite, while offices are to be filled exelu- i
sively from Middle and Lower Georgia. Even in !
dispensing with the little offices upon the rail- '
road, Whigs were imported from Lower Geor- |
gia to fill offices that could have been filled by 1
men in the county where the offices are located; 1
and I here remark that not only as good men can
be had, but I think better, than have been im- a
ported to fill those offices. These are the rea- a
sons that produced such distraction in the ranks ;
of the Cherokee Democracy, or at least it is one j
among many others that are not worth men- J
turning. Now, for the purpose of uniting once (
more the Democracy of Cherokee, let the una- j
nimity commence at the seat of Government j
with the whole Democracy of the State; let the !
Legislature act as a unit, nominate regularly any
candidate that is brought before them for offices
of every description; take from the Democrats a
the very best and ablest rnenoftbe party, with
out distinction as to Union or Southern Rights -
Democrats, and elect them. Here permit me
to remark, if men are to be rewarded for their
labors, I do think Howell Cobb ought to be. The
6th Congressional District brings the testimony.
The next thing, if elected United States Senator,
his great ability will be poured out in defence of
Mr. Pierce's administration, which will have a
tendency to unite the Democracy in Georgia
much more than any other person, now aspir
ing to that seat. I have no personal preference
for him over other gentlemen of the party; pol
icy demands that course of the Democratic par
ty. The Whigs clearly understanding that the
Legislature must retain Nisbit upon the bench
of the Supreme Court—to this I demur. When
that Court went into existence they took to
themselves two out of three; since that timeor.e
of their party has been re-elected, and by a dem
ocratic Legislature, or rather a Union Legisla
tuie. The time has arrived when the tables
should be turned; let us have two for a while and
them one. We have able men in our ranks that
will do honor to the State and to the Bench ; if
so let them be put there. Governor McDonald
M. J. Wei borne, Judge Iverson, Judge Wright,
of Cherokee, and a host of others. All that
could be urged against Judge Wright is, that he
lives in Cherokee, Georgia, where office cannot
or has not yet reached; he is a gentleman of
fine ability, and it is due to Cherokee, Georgia, to
give us a judge in that section of the State, and
Ido trust that the party at Miiledgevill: will
proceed to the organization and harmonizing the
Democratic party for their first work, and elect
none but Democrats to office, both high and low’.
If this is not done, the dissensions in Cherokee
never can be healed; ail they demand is a strong
pull, a long pull,and an all pull together of the De
mocracy, and a fair divide, and all will come
right. COHUTTAH.
I Correspondence of the Savannah. News ]
Macon, Oct. 27th, 1833.
Mr. Editor: —The Lodge was called to order
at the appointed hour.
The Committee on Grievances made their se
cond report which aftei a spirited and animated
debate was passed by a large majority and or
dered to be entered on the Journal. The morn
ing was occupied principally in reports of com
mittees and matters altogether 0(,.a local nature,
when the Lodge was called off to 3 o’clock, P.
M.
3 o’clock, P. M.,Oct 27th, 1553.
The Lodge was caked to order, alter which
all unsettled business was duly disposed of. The
Most W. G. M. then proceeded to deliver his
closing remarks previous to the adjournment of
the Grand body; in the course of his remarks he
depicted in eloquent and burning language the
necessity of each and every true Mason, the
importance of their advancing the interests of
the Masonic Female College located at Coving
ton, which 1 am happy to state is in a flourish
ing condition. Too much cannot be said to the
fraternity in behalf of this college and it behoves
us a lovers of the cause of education to assist in
rearing up this Institution so happily and pros
perously commenced by the fraternity. No one
who listened to the able and spirit-stirring re
marks of our Most Worthy W. G. Master, could
feel otherwise than a deep and abiding interest
in the laudable undertaking; indeed the remarks
of our Worthy W. G. Master was one of the
most brilliant and oratorical efforts I have ever
had the pleasure of listening to. The Lodge
was then closed by a solemn and impiessive
prayer from our Grand Chaplain, the Rev. Mr.
Mathews.
The amount of receipts at this communication
exhibits an annual increase of two thousand dol
lars.
This, Mr. Editor, concludes my remarks in re
lation to the proceedingol Most W. Grand Lodge
of the State of Georgia, and were it not that I
was placed on the committee to audit accounts,
I should immediately take my departure for Sa
vannah, but as the duties of my office are
very onerous I am necessarily compelled to re
main here until Saturday. In the mean time
should anything worthy your attention transpire
I will again tax your time and generosity by
sending you another dispatch.

This Weather. —The weather during the
past forty eight hours has been, though not cal
culated to do more injury than that of confining
ladies at home and giving colds to a few ot the
careless or exposed of the other sex, has been of
unusual severity. The rain has been falling al
most without cessation during the whole period,
and we doubt if any of our fellow-citizens have
ever known it to pour down in such tropicai tor
rents, and lor so many consecutive hours, as it

Bayou Sara, Oct. 25, 1853.—8e it remem
beied that on this, the 25th day ol Octobor, A.
D. 1853, and A. L. 5853, the town of Bayou Sa
ra was visited by a splendid white Irost that
would almost do honor to the frigid zone. Ice
as thick as a hall dollar was found in water ves
sels this morning. No damage has been done to
ether the sugar or cotton crop by this frost.
The weather is clear and dry, with a north
wind.— lb. J, a. K.
The Steamer Jasper, arrived at this port Sa
turday from Charleston, having in tow a mud
machine to be us id in cleaning out the river.
The Jasper has been thoroughly overhauled and
repainted,and is much improved Jin her accom
modations for passengers and freight. She is
under the command of Capt. Chas. H. Reiyea
who has purchased an interest in the boat, arid
intends running her between Charleston and
Beautort, touching at landings on the route.
We congratulate the planters along the Carolina
coast on this accession to their facilities of com
munication with their seaport town, and Capt.
R. (who is, by the way, an excellent seaman
and accommodating officer,) cn his new enter
prise, hoping he may meet with the success he
deserves.— Sav. Jicp.,\3lst ult.
Capt. Sterett, of the steamer Gladiator, informs
us that the steam ship Osprey, Capt. Bennitfc
from this port, for Philadelphia, was going into '
Smithville on Sunday afternoon, as the Gladia- !

harbor in consequence of the heavy north-easter
blowing.— Char. Courier , lsf inst.
The Captains of several coasting vessels who
airived yesterday from Santee, mention having
seen a ship ashore on Cape Romain, but owing
to the lough weather they did not approach near
enough to make her out. The Steamer Charles- !

Things in Nfw York.— At the distribution I
of premiums by the American Instirute, on
Wednesday evening, there were only two gold'

ary to bring it into notice.

Tho stock of Cotton on hand also shows a de
crease, being only 196,104 bales this year against
265,054 last year, being a dccroasc of 68,950
bales.
The Crops.—Tho period has now arrived when
some estimate of tho present crop can bo formed.
On tho ‘2sth and 26th days of October, a killing
frost was experienced in almost every section of tho
| Cotton growing region. The top bolls it is said,
can never mataro, and but few if any of tho lower
ones. The growing crop was a very late one, and
with this oarly and killing frost, must prove shorter
than that of last year. Wo base our assertion on
the fact, that even with a late frost, the advices
from all sections of the Cotton growing region, were
that the crop must be short of that of last year
The falling off in tho receipts at tho various re
ceiving ports, may soon bo made up, now that
health has boon restored to the cities of New Or
leans and Mobile—the rivers are all in good navi
gable order, and planters will now tako advantage
of this circumstance, if they are wise, and send
forward their cotton to shipping points, either to be
held or sold.
, Business.— Trade has been brisk this season,
i and such merchants as have visited our city for the
f purpose of laying in their supplies, have gone away
well satisfied—and wo understand others, alter
I visiting tho northern markets, have sent thoir or
ders back hero to bo filled. Groceries, generally,
can be purchased as cheap, if not cheaper, in this
market, than in Charleston, Savannah, or New
Yoik, and for this simple reason, that most of our
merchants are heavy operators, and purchase their
supplies in/ the same markets that the Savannah
or Charleston merchants do, and on as good terms,
j and they generally get their goods up in bulk when
j there is a good river, and at low freights, thus ena
bling them to sell at as low or lower rates than
merchants below.
s- COTTON.—Our market opened on Wednesday ,
last, at about tho following quotations, viz : Infe
rior and Ordinary 7 a 7* ; Low Middling to Strict
Middling 7j a 8|; Good Middling 8| a 8f; Mid- t
iling Fair 9 ; Fair to Fully Fair 9| a9j cents. At c
these prices a limited business was done up to Sa
; turday, when holders were enabled to get J cent i
advance on the above rates. On Monday tho mar- j

an impetus to transactions and an upward tendency
to prices. During the day the Arctic’s advices, still
later, came to hand, and had a tendency to strength
en prices, although the transactions were limited on
account of the small offering stock. Yesterday up
s to the close of businoss, the market remained much
f in the same state as on Monday, the offering stock
light and holders very firm at our quotations given
. below. The lower qualities are still neglected,
and we have but little change to notice in prices,
s but for grades ranging above Middling, there has
been an advance during the week of full half cent
per pound. The receipts are very light, and buy
„ ers very strict in their classification. The offering
stoek is also light, and holders show but little dis
position to sell unless they can get their own prices.
The advices daily received from planters in tho
interior, who have Cotton on hand for sale, is that
the recent frost has materially shortened their crop
■ and ordering their Cotton withdrawn from the mar
-1 ket. Qualities above Middling Fair are scarce,
and when put on the market readily bring our
quotations.

GROCERIES.—There has been a fair business
done during the past week in filling country or
ders. Our market is now well supplied with the
various articlos in tho grocery line, and what
changes have taken place will he found noticed
under the proper heads.
BACON.—With this article the market is at
present bountifully supplied, and prices tend down
wards. There is but a moderate, demand and
sales arc making at different prices, according to
quality. Sales have been reported to us this week

Hams, at 5, G and cents, and about 11,000 lbs.
Tennessee at tho hog round. From stores, good
ribbed and clear sides are selling, according to
quality and quantity at 8j to 9£ cents. Retail
ing from stores in small lots at 9£ and 10 eonts.
LARD.—The stock is light but equal tod.mand
Holders are asking 12 and 12J cents by the quan
tity.
CORN.—In tho early pait of the week sales
were made at 65 cents; yesterday, however, most
holders woro asking 70 cents, and refused to sell
under that price. Thoro is some little export de
mand, but we do not think large lots could be sold
over 65 cents, sacks included Oats have been
sold by the quantify at 65 cents, retailing at 70
and 75. Rye is held at 87 and $1 by tho quantity,
dull. Rotailing at $1:15 and $1:25.

find ready sale for all they can grind, at s6j for
superfine iu bags, and s(>* in bbls For Family 74
asß per bbl. Country is worth 6to 64, and Den
mead's 6} to 6£.

and good Red meets with ready sale at 75 a $1
a nd prime V hite at sl.lO a $1.25 per bushel.
COFFEE.— Fair stock on hand, and good Rio

BAGGING—Stock on tho increase and most
holders are asking from store, by the piece or bolt,
12i oonts. Bale Rope is now selling at 9i alO
conts. There is no Jute in market, and we leave

and New Orleans at 33 a 37. Thoro is some Trini
dad in market he'd at 28 conts.
FEATHERS.—HoIders are still stiff in their
asking prices, and refuse to sell under 40 cents by
the quantity.

of course prices are higher.
