VISIT OF AN AMERICAN To THE REBEL CAMP. Dr. Charles Taylor, a citizen of the United I States, left Shanghae on the 2d of June, and suc ceeded in reaching along the Rebel camp at Chin- Keang-foo, a large city on the Yang-tsze-kiang, just below Nankin. While there, the following document, intended for the foreign residents gen erally, was placed in his hands by the Rebel General in command: “Lo, the Fifth arranger of the Forces, of the Palace of the Celestial Dynasty of T’hae-ping, who have leceived the command of Heaven to rule the Empire, communicates the following in formation to all the English brethren. On the first day of the fifth moon, [June sth,] a brother belonging to your honorable nation, named Charles Taylor, brought hither a number of books, which have been received in order. See ing that trie above named individual is a fellow worshipper of God, (Shangti.) he is, therefore,ac- : knowledged as a brother; the books, likewise, which be has brought agree substantially with our owi —so that, it appears, we follow one and the same road. Formerly, however, when a ship belongn g to your honorable nation came hither, (the Hermes.) sbe was followed by a fleet of im pish vessels belonging to the false Tartars : now also, when a boat from your honorable nation comes among us, the impish vessels of the Tar tars again follow in its wake. Considering that your honorable nation is celebrated for its truth and fidelity, we your younger brothers, do not harbor any suspicious. At present, both Heaven and men favor our design, and this is jest the time lor setting up the Chinese and abolishing the Tartar rule. We suppose that you, gentle men, are well acquainted with the signs of the times—so that we need not enlarge on that sub ject ; but while we, on our parts, do not prohibit commercial intercourse, we merely observe that since the two parties are now engaged in war fare, the going to and fro is accompanied by in convenience; and judging from the present as pect of affairs, we should deem it better to wait a few months, until we have thoroughly destroyed the Tar'ars, when, perhaps, the subjects of your honorable nation could go and come without being involved in the tricks of these false Tar tars. Would it not, in your estimation, also, be preferable ? We take advantage of the oppor tunity to send you this communication for your intelligent inspection, and hope that every bles sing may attend you. We also send a number of our own books, which please to circulate amongst you.” Particulars of Dr. Taylor's Visit—lnteresting De scription of the Insurgent jinny—Bombardment of the City by the Tartar Fleet. The following particulars of Dr. Taylor's visit to the sLonghold of the insurgents at Chin keang-foo, are given by the North China Herald : The Doctor left Bhanghae on the 2d of June, in a small native boat, and having succeeded in passing the Imperial fleet blockading Chin keang-too, anchored on Saturday night. J urie Bth, near the south bank of the Yaug-tsze, opposite Silver Island, about two milts below the city, his boatmen absolutely refusing to go any farther. Therefore, at daybreak next morning, he landed alone, taking llis carpet-bag Ailed with Christian books, walking along the path on the river bank to the high piecipiious blutf rising abruptly from the river, and running inland in a southerly direction for about a quarter of a mile, to the northeast gate of the city. When he came near enough to discern persons on the stockades which run along the ridge of this hill to the gate he he made a signal to them, which was observed, and he was beckoned to approach. To walk up in this manner defenceless and alone, must have been a very different thing from approaching under the guns of the Hermes, which vessel had left, it was to be presumed, no very pleasant reminiscences of foreigners with its fifty three rounds of shell. Our friend found this hill and indeed trie whole city fortified with great strength and no little military skill by means of ditches, palisades, embankments, abattis, coups deloup, (Le-pit-lalis concealed by coverings of straw) chevaux-de-frise, Acc., &c. When he had succeeded, after much difficulty, in passing these various obstructions, one of the insurgents came down the bill, took his carpet-bag, and led the way up to the garrison. Oncoming within the stockade he found himself surrounded by great numbers of fierce looking, “long haired' 5 men, who addressed him as brother. He was asked many questions, but being desirous to get an in terview with Lo, commandant of the forces, he resolutely refused to answer any until conducted into the presence oi that officer. After many ineffectual efforts to induce him to communicate with officers of inferior rank, he was furnished with an escort of several soldiers, who conduct ed him to tbe head-quaiters of the commandant within the city walls. When this peisonage [Lo is a man of about fifty years ot age, shore ana square built] made his appearance, so destitute was he of the pom pous display so common to Chinese officials, our friend began to think another attempt was being made to thwart him in his design of obtaining access to their chief, and'ht first reiused to reply to his interrogatories; nor was it until his at tendants had invested him with a yellow and red silk uniform, that the doubt- of his visitor were removed, who then infotmed him fully of himself, whence he came, and the object of his visit, at the same time opening his carpet bag. piesentcd him with the books which gave evi dent satisfaction and elicited the remaik which was oft repeated, that the doctrines were the same as their own, they indeed, claiming a com mon brotherhood with ioreiguers. Lo hospitably entertained our friend at his own quarters during his visit, and on leaving provided him with a horse hud an escort of several hundred soldiers with their officers, to accompany him beyond the city walls and the stockades to the river bank. Great numbers of boys weie seen bearing spears and swords, and performing duty with other soldiers. “Their stockades and batteries were well pro vided with guns of every size and description, from ginjaiis to large cannon. Their flags, of a triangular form, were very numerous, inscribed with the name of their chief and the tile of the new dynasty. On repeated inquiries of differ ent individuals, at different times and places, as to their numoers, Dr. T. was uniformly told there were fifty or sixty thousand insurgents in that city. Ihe city had been deserted by the inhabi tants on the approach of the insurgents, and pre sented in the streets a scene of utter desolation the doois and shutters of ail the shops and dwel lings having been taken to form the stockades aiong the bank of the river. ss “Blacksmiths and carpeeters were making war like implements and gun cairiages, and were the only artizans seen pursuing their regular avoca tions. “We understand our friend was present at their i worship, which he describes as consisting of chauming hymns and doxoiogiesin a veiy solemn manner, whilst those engaged in it remained seated. After which all kneeled, apparently with much reverence, closing their eyes, while one of their number uttered an audible prayer. 1 hese acts oi worship were repeated twice or thuce a day, and included in them the grace be fore meat ; and immediately' afterwards they pro £f e< aC 1 le tables without further ceremony. Dr. J-saw no females, and on inquiry, was in formed they were all at Nanking. He saw tables with oowls of various kinds of food, as offerings to the Supreme Being; among which were three bowls of tea, one for each Person of the Trinity. “In reply to frequent inquiries as to when and in what direction they would next move Dr T was informed they could not tell themselves but mist wait for intimations from the Heavenly Father. He heard Thae-ping-wang frequently mentioned, but no allusion made to Thee-tib. 55 Dr. T. was struck with the calm and earnest enthusiasm that pervaded the entire ho ly and the perfect confidence evinced in the justice of their cause, and its final success. When he asked the chiels when they proposed to come towaids Shanghae, they replied, whenever they received an intimation, from the Heavenly Father, as they never moved in any quarter without such dilection. The insurgents abound in fresh provisions, which are brought in clandestinely, by the in habitants of the surrounding country. We are told Dr. T. had with him a supply of medicine, from which he administered to the dis ease of many insurgents who applied to him, and performed a surgical operation on the eye of one of them. The Chine e are buying up American vessels, and American seamen for the war. The San Francisco Herald says: In addition to the ship Hamilton, we learn that several large vessels have recently been pur chased by Chinese merchants, and are now being fitted out in this port, for the opposite coast of the Pacific. They will be navigated by Ameri can seamen, but will sail under the Chinese flag. This will enable them to visit Japan, and we are disposed to think such is the purpose of the owners. It is said they are desirous of reaching Jeddo about the time Com. Perry’s squadron has brought the Islanders to terms.” (Telegraphed for the Baltimore Sun.\ Arrival of the Arctic. New York.

The Eastern Question.— The London Times says that the Tdrkish manifesto is one of the strongest and most unanswerable State papers issued during the present century. The Post says that it is morally certain that Russia is already defeated, and that she will be so materially. Hostilities on the Danube, and on the shores of the Caspian, are inevitable. A dispatch from Vienna, of the 17th, says tha- Gortshakhoff had replied to the Turkish sum mons that he has no power to commence hostili ties, make peace or evacuate the Principalities. He therefore refuses to do either. Russian subjects in Turkey have been placed under Austrian protection. The Turks allow neutral flags on the Danube to the 25th inst., but no longer. Austria and Prussia had recalled their subjects from the Turkish service. The Turkish declaration of war has been pub lished in luff. It is temperate but high-spirited, and lays no embargo on Russian ships, fully pro tecting the rights of commerce, i When the Czar heard of the Turkish declara tion of war he fell into a fury and swore he would wage a war of extermination against the Turks. Omar Pasha had notified the Russian com mander that if he did not leave the Principali ties by the 25th he would comrnence hostilities It is not supposed that war will commence on the Danube, but in Georgia or on the Black Sea. Oid Gen. Paskiewitch takes the command of the Russian army in the Principalities. On the stl. of October, the combined fleets were observed preparing to advance to Constan tinople. A battle was fought Sept. 27th, between Schamyl, the Circassian chief, and the Russians. After heavy loss on both sides, the former re tired to their mountain strongholds.

Goudchaux, Minister of Finance under the Provisional Government. There had been no shipment of troops, but great activity prevailed in the Navy Yards. As Prussia and Austria give indications of keeping neutral in the coming war, French and English Diplomatists consider that war will be confined to the Turkish frontier and not extend to Europe. Italy.— ltaly was in a state of great excite ment. India and China.— Commercial advices from India and China were comparatively favorable.

[Correspondence of the Savannah Courier ] Lee County, Ga., Oct. 29, 1853. Mr. Editor : I propose giving you and your numerous readers through the columns of the Commit, some accounts of the crops, &c In passing along the Central and Soiith-western Road, some weeks ago, I was surprised to see how unusually backward and late, the Cotton cops were. This is owing, no doubt, to the ex cessive drought, which prevailed throughout the country, in the early part of the season The ! planters were unable to get their Cotton up (ex j ce P fc 111 some fevv instances,) till late in May and some even as late as June— so that up to the Ist of this month, Cotton had all the appear ance that the plant should have in the month ot l August—i. e. it was not any more matured, up j to the Ist of October, than it should have been in August. To give you an idea of the lateness of the plant, and bow it must have suffered by the drought, I will give you an observation, by a very intelligent Planter near by. He said on the 23d June, he marked a certain stalk of Cot ton in his field, which bad one or more blooms, and that not another bloom, or bud, ever appear ed on that stalk, fill the sth August! It was a beautiful sight, in passing along the Cotton fields, at that late season ot the year, to see how fresh and mooming the plant looked. The great nutn ber oi blossoms, the green and lresh appearance ! of the p ant, and dotted here and there with ! open bolls of snow- white Cotton—presenting I quite a contrast ol green, yellow and white. — 1 1 here is no exaggeration in saying, that the Cotton crops are some four weeks later, than usual. There are many fields, that will take lrom three toi five acres, to make a bale, on ac count of bad stand, and being late—there was no replanting. The fate of the cotton crop is now sealed by the frost. On the morning of the 25th inst. the ' whole face of nature was covered with some- : thing rather more than a common frost, and there is the end of the cotton crop. 1 I find that the corn crops are also short—in deed I have not seen a good one anywhere, and Ido not think that the average yield will be 1 much if any over 12 bushels per acre. The oat . and other grain crops are also light. ne planters are somewhat uneasy about the present state of affairs—short crops, warlike 1 news, and the low pi ice* of cotton, is enough to I excite alarm. Will this state of things become , better or worse ? I for one fear it cannot be come better while this spirit of revolution ex ists in Europe. I am pleased to learn that they are progress ing rapidly with the South-western Railroad.— They are now within a few miles of this neigh borhood, and the route is generally‘level and well supplied with timber. The extension of that road will do much in developing the re sources of this country, and I venture to say that when it is completed it will pay better than any other road in the State, as it will pass thro’ the very heart of a cotton region, besides the vast amount of freight and travel that must pass oyer it. Should all the roads now in contempla tion be built, the people of Georgia may well be pioud oi her as the banner State in Internal Improvements. Chickasawhatchee. AUGUSTA, GA.

To give a still 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 Ist Nov., and at the new rates after that date. The increased facilities by mail lor Daily and Tri-wcekly 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 confilently 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 leceiving it daily or tri weekly, it is unnecessary to argue. The claim of the Constitutionalist Republic to be consider ed such a Journal, is left to the judgment ot its readers and the public. The Proprietor relies upon the friends of the paper in Augusta to obtain for it ub increased city circulation. Remittances by mail are at the risk of the Proprietor.

British Intervention in Cuba. The Washington Union has had occasion, of late, to make some strong appeals to public at tention, on the score of the British scheme of Africanizing Cuba. That some such atrocious movement is on foot, and that it is prompted by a spirit of hostility to this country, whose mag nificent destiny and growing power are loom ing up in formidable proportions before the eyes of British statesmen, there are the strongest rea sons for believing. The late of Jamaica, or of the yet more degraded island of St. Domingo, would be entailed by British philanthropy upoii the fair island of Cuba, rather than see it under the protecting zlsgis of the American Republic. But it is in vain for England to endeavor to defeat manifest destiny in this quarter of the world. Her efforts at interference will only precipi tate events, and hasten the march of destiny. The Union closes a well written editorial, of the 28th ulfc., on British Intervention, by the following remarks, which, we believe, express truthfully and frankly the sentiments of the American people: We have made no suggestion to the Cubans in regard to independence or annexation—these topics are broached by Lord John Russell, and by authority he announces the purpose of her Majesty’s government to repress tbe one, defeat tbe other, and maintain the status quo in Cuba. We have no such authority to speak for our gov ernment, but have a right to speak as an Amer ican citizen; and in that sovereign capacity we say that it the Cubans declare their indepen* dence, and seek our protection, they will find as strong arms and us brave hearts coming to their rescue as those that Great Britain shall send to rivet upm them the galling chains of Spanish despotism: as much as ' entire-liberty-resumiiig s ' Gieat Britain may do to maintain the status quo in Cuba, the free, liberty-loving and liberty-en joying Americans will do more to promote her progress, arid, if she desire it, her annexation af ter she secures her independence. Professor Zogbaum. By reference to our advertising columns, it will be seen that Mr. C. Zogbaum has perma nently located in our city lor the purpose of teaching vocal and instrumental music. We congratulate our citizens, and the lovers of good music, upon such an acquisition. For several years past, Mr. Z has been teaching in Athens with great and unprecedented success, and only leaves that place to seek a larger field for his talents. We see by the Athens papers that the citizens of that place give him up with great re luctance. Our citizens have only to become acquainted with Mr. Zogbaum, to appreciate his merits and talent as a music teacher, ami his private worth as a gentleman. The Knickerbocker. The November number of this interesting monthly has been placed on our table by Messrs. : Geo. A. Oates & Co. It contains some very in ! * erest ‘ng articles. Edited by Louis Gaylord ( lark; terms $3 per annum. Kunkle's Nightingale Opera Troupe. lhis troupe of Ethiopian Minstrels make their first appearance this evening, at Concert Hall, and will introduce many new and pleasing songs, dances, burlesques, and the comic and caustic do mestic sketch, written by John T. Ford, their agent, entitled “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” ’ This Company, we understand, drew large audiences in Charleston, and the papers of that city speak very flatteringly of their performances. A new route from Boston to New York will be opened about the Ist of January next. At the Boston end this route commences with the Norfolk county road and runs to Blackstone, a distance of thirty-five miles ; from Blackstone to Southbridge. a distance of twenty-two miles, a road is building, and is now nearly finished; thence horn Southbridge to Norwich, over the Norwich and Worcester road, thirty th:ee miles; crossing over a bridge, it here connects with the JNew London, Willimantic and Palmer road to New London, thirteen miles; from New London over the New London and New Haven fifty miles; from New Haven to New York, seventy-six miles. Total 229 miles. Man Shot. We learn that a man by the name of William j Fowler, shot Wise Holley in Barnwell District yesterday morning. Holley was shot just above the hip, and then beat over the head with the pistol. At last advices he was laying in a crit ical situation, and. his life was dispaired of.— Fowler has made his escape, and it will be seen j by advertisement that a reward of two hundred and fifty dollars is offered for his apprehension. ; Financial Panic. When a panic has seized the public it is too late to stop to inquire whether there is any suffi cient reason lor the disastrous alarm. Did men, under such circumstances, have their wits about them, the statements and reflections which we below copy into the Georgian , emanating from financial authority than which none is higher, might tend to quiet the apprehension now so generally felt of an approaching commercial con vulsion. We do not believe that there is in the rnoni tary condition and prospects of the country, any just ground for expecting a commercial crisis. Yet if the money shavers can succeed in des troying confidence between men, and thus beget a universal belief that a crash is to come—corne it will undoubtedly. The very expectation of it will bring it. In saying this we would by no means discour age proper caution on tne part of those in charge of the finances of the country. Prudence is cer tainly demanded of them. But the question is whether such action on their part as shall en courage alarm, be the part of prudence: whether indeed it will tend to promote either the inter ests of the hanks or those of the public. We copy the following article from the last number of the United States Economist. — Sav. Georgian. War Apprehension. —ln the midst of the most unparalelled prosperity there exists, to a certain extent, apprehensions as to the manner in which American interests may be effected by the war which appears to be pending in Eu rope. These fears produce all the eviis which can actually result from a state of hostilities. In the last ten years two wars have existed, which effected us seriously; but in spite of the croak ings of the knavish and the fear of the timid, American interests continued to prosper, and the more rapidly as the community, used to the dif ficulties, became assurred that their fears were groundless. When the Mexican war was pend ing in 1845-46 the community was filled with alarm at the theoretic ruin which was to over take us. The Herald proved clear as mud that privateers of all nations would swarm the seas under the Mexican flag, and destroy onr com merce ; that the British allies of Mexico would from emancipated Cuba as a base, promote a servile war that was to destroy the South and gradually bring on a general war that would "sink the world in insolvency,” The expenses of the war, according to some learned Thebans, were to suck up the resources of the country, break all the banks by the exportation ol the metals to Mexico, and produce evils without end. 1 he war took place, and Mexico was conquered amidst uninterrupted and prosperous commercial industry. The closing of that war was followed by the general disruption of Europe, prolonged into the Hungarian war, which called forth the combined strength of Russia and Austria, and long was the point contested whether Hungary would triumph or not. It is probable that had Kossuth been honest, or endowed with ordinary practical capacity, that Hungary would now have made a weight in the European balance, at least equal to that of Turkey. % The Hungarian war was on as large a scale as that with Turkey is likely to be; yet during its continuance the American interests were in no degree disturbed, nor was there any pause in our progressive prosperity. Notwithstanding the experience which those wirs afforded. some dire disruption of commercial interests is apprehend ed in case the armies now 7 assembled in the re mote east should revive conflicts which one ot them sustained against Hungary four years ago. To alt intents and purposes it would seem that, as Austria and Prussia siding with Russia, form a barrier between the contending armies and Western Europe, there is less chance of a gener al war than when Hungary and Italy were ac tually lighting against Austria. That in the present state of the harvests, England and West ern Europe will not enter voluntarily into a war, for the trivial cause now presented may be assumed If they should, American produce must be bought, and American stocks would be more in demand. Austria is utterly bankrupt; French credit is on the wane; Spain has none; and the German powers have strained theirs to the utmost. At such a moment the United States Treasury offers and gives 21 per cent, pre mium for stocks that, seven years ago, it issued at par. The general prosperity which has pro duced such a result is operating upon all the se curities, state and corporate, and European capi tal sees greater attractions here than ever. We owe Europe nothing, and war or no war, they must buy oui produce arid pay high freights to American vessels, and seek our securities tor safe employment for their capital. What is, then their wars to us? , Ihe Chops in Cherokee.— A friend, wri ting from Floyd County, to the Savannah Cou i rier, under date of the 26th October, says : “On last 1 hursday morning, it commenced raining, and continued until Monday morning, almost without cessation. The cotton bolls were filled 1 with water On Tuesday morning, we had a frost which killed it. We cannot make more than a hai f crop—some will not make more toan one-third. My own crop will probably reach one-half of what I fully expected to make- My provision crops are tolerably good, but the cotton fields are in a wretched condition. Several months since a small box, about ten inches square directed to John Smith, was re ceived at Cincinnatti, by Express from New York, and a3 it was never called for, at the ex press office, it was opened on Tuesday, and found to contain some neat wooden boxes, filled with red tooth powder, and also half a dozen small tin boxes labelled “pomatum.” The latter on being broken open, were found to be filled with about five hundred dollars in samples of new issue of spurious money. The bills are on Eastern banks and are well executed. Emigrants for Liheria.— The late James Wardlaw, Esq., of Fayette county, Ky., manu mitted twenty one slaves previous to his death, on condition that they go to Liberia. This con dition they have accepted, and a few days ago left Lexington Ky., for Baltimore, to embark for Liberia. Mr. Wardlaw provided means for send ing them, and for having something to start on when they arrived at their destined home. Prior to the adjournment of the triennial Episcopal Convention at New York, the presi ding Bishop, as we learn from the Philadelphia North American, read the usual pastoral letter, which is a document of considerable length dwelling largely n pon doctrinal matters. A general want of clergymen having been noticed in the addresses of the several Bishops to their respective dioceses, the address earnestly calls for more; and it is remarked that, instead of the candidates for holy orders increasing in number in proportion to the rapid increase of the church, it is believed that their number is actually di minishing. Neither the foreign nor domestic missions, it is stated, have been latterly prosecu ted with a liberality commensurate with the ability of the church, and the domestic depart ment especially has languished in a lamentable degree. It is acknowledged that the church has made most encouraging progress under its dioce san organization, but it is in the weakest dioce ses that the most labor and the largest expendi- ’ tures are required. In the Western States this 1 want is particularly felt. i Rebuilding —We are pleased to learn, says the Milledgeville Recorder, that a portion at least of the burnt part of the city will soon be j rebuilt, and that some of our enterprising capi talists propose to erect a range of stores on the corner opposite the Market, and fronting Hu son’s Hotel—the stories above to be used as a hotel. This is a good idea, and would prove a profitable investment. We hope none but fire proof buildings will be erected. Trouble Among the Campbellites. —The followers of Rev. Alexander Campbell, of Beth any, Ya , have become dissatisfied with his teach ings on the subject of slavery. To remedy the evil they propose calling a convention at Cleve land, on the second Wednesday in January next. Mr. C. is in favor ot the gradual abolition of slavery. Dr. Charles Taylor—lnteresting from China. —ln our columns will be found a very interesting account of a visit by Dr. Charles Taylor, among the insurgents at Chin-kearig foo. Dr. Taylor, it will be remembered, went out from the South-Carolina Methodist Conference, as a Missionary among the Chinese, and we are pleased to learn that he has been peculiarly suc cessful as a Missionary, and that he is so popu lar among the Rebels, as they are termed. Tbe Fire at Milledgeville. The Federal Union adds the following items, in reference to the destructive fire of the 25th ult. “ In addition to the above which we published in an Extra the day alter the fire, we have since learned that Mr. Beall, Mr. Robinson, Drs. Case, Fort k Co., were partly insured. The whole loss has been variously estimated from seventy to a hundred thousand dollars. The exertions of rntTny of our citizens to stop the fire, and to save property was worthy of all praise, we would mention in particular Mr. M. M. Hail, who we regret to say after having done great service, was about the time the fir* was nearly subdued, severely burned by an explosion ot gun powder. His Excellency Governor Cobb on this occasion set an example worthy of uni versal No man in the crowd worked harder, or with more effect than the Governor. The fire iaged for about four hours, and during this whole time the Governor never slackened in his exertions. Several of the Students from Oglethorpe also rendered good service on this trying occasion. Cuban Affairs. Extract from a letter from a resident in Cuba, to his mercantile correspondent in Boston : ‘‘Cardenas, October 13, 1853. We have had the cholera most- dreadfully on some of the es tates in this in ghborhood. So far, St. Maria San Vicinte, and Toriente have escaped, buc Maded has lost twenty hands out of about eigh ty. Belchasse has lost thirty hands. On Tay lor’s estate the loss has been 87 out of 163 hands. Upon many other estates the mortality among the hands has been equal to those above stated. The brothers Diego have presented themselves in insolvency for the round sum of $1,700,000. I hey have offered to pay their creditors at the rate of $150,000 per annum, and interest at G per cent. All the family once thought to be so weal thy, are included in the assignment of the es tate lor the benefit of their numerous creditors. The chance tor profit on sugar estates grows fainter every day that the cholera prevails on the island. The loss of negroes by death, and the large number of hands unable to work, have combined to affect the price of labor, so that at the present date the rate charged for slaves upon the sugar estates, where they are hired to aid the regular hand’, is now $25 per month for each laborer. The owners stipulate that their let slaves shall work only upon every other night, instead of every night as usual in good healthy times, and the sum of thirty ounces (about $500) is forfeited il the siave dies while let out. Offers ot $23 a month have been refused in this vicinity. The want of hands cannot long be endured here, as no sugar estate can stand two years and pay such enormous rates.” . Milledgeville—lts Accessibility and Accom modations. e We are informed that during the meeting of - the Legislature two trains will leave Milledge a vilie every dav, connecting with the day a”nd e night trans on the Central and Georgia Rail e roads, with the latter by stages from Eatonton e to Madison 17 or 18 miles. This arrangement ; will make Milledgevllle accessible from all ; points. . 1 hose who have business here can o leach this city and leave the same day if they I desire; and members of the Legislature, living ■- in the most extreme parts of the State near a d railroad, can visit their homes, when compelled, . and return in 36 hours to their posts. In respect to accommodations, Milledgeville, . we unhesitatingly say, is better prepared than e ever to accommodate visitors and the members { of the Legislature. Besides our spacious Hotels, o which are seldom crowded, except during the e first few days ol the session, there will be open, a eight or ten private boarding Houses, which, alone, could accommodate two hundred persons! Visiters need not be deterred from coming to this city, from a fear of bad accommodations. - The crowd will be large, but our Hotel proprie - tors have away of putting away large numbers n conveniently, which is not the case in other cities, as we have frequently noticed. The late lire has not in the least affected the t arrangements for accommodating the visiters to 1 thecity. On the contrary, it has extended the x facilities for entertainment, by Ihe opening of larger houses for reception.— Federal Union ” s s Hotel on Lookout Mountain. r Col. S. R. Bonner, of Columbus, Geo , spent . several days here last week, making arrange ments in view of building a first class Hotel °on - Lookout Mountain, so as to be ready for the re ception ol visitors next summer. We are pleas ed to learn from the Col. that he made a pur j chase entirely to his satisfaction, that he will j have the best and finest of water convenient to ' his house, and that he will early engage in the I ! erection ol a suitable building. He spoke in the ! most flattering terms ot the generosity and kind ness of the property holders on the mountain evincing a deep interest in the enterprise, Col. B. is an experienced fashionable Hotel keeper, and we predict for his mountain house, crowds of visitors through the summers—and such a high retreat, above the autumnal fogs that rise ! . on our water courses, invalids will not fail to! avail themselves of the advantages afforded. Success to the Bonner House.— Chattanooga Ga zette, ltf inst. Late and Interesting from Central Ame rica.—Advices from Costa Rica to the Sth inst. state that hostilities were being still carried on between Guatemala and Honduras. A party of men under one Senoi Rubi had invaded the ter ritory of Guatemala, and sacked some towns. On the other hand, a party of three hundred men under the command of Col Zabala had landed in the part of Omoa, belonging to Hondu ras. The commandant of the latter port was shut up in the Castle with his garrison, being only provisioned for eight days. Forces had been sent to the assistance ol the garrison. An interesting account is given of the reception of Hon. Solon Borland, U S. Minister to Centfal America, by the President of Nicaragua. A brutal outrage had been committed on° Henry Greer, an American, by the alcalde and troops of one of the Nicaraguan towns. Mr. Borland had ! demanded the punishment of the aggressors, and the alcalde had been arrested and sent to the cap ital for trial. It appears the attack was made on Mr. Greer ; and Dr. Fanning, because they refused to give ! up a sum of money found on the body of an American, w T ho was drowned. The soldiers fired upon Mr. G., and lodged a ball in his breast, which it is supposed will cause his death. He was also beaten by the soldiers with the butts of their muskets, and both of them con veyed to jail, but Mr. G. was subsequently al lowed to be conveyed to the house ot a friend where he was said to be dying at the last ac counts. Mr. Narcelota, minister to the United States from Nicaragua, is to leave Washington on the Ist ot November. Accident.— On Saturday evening last, the venerable coloied preacher, Andrew Marshall, was thrown from his horse and seriously injured. When lound he was insensible j he w'as soon re stored to consciousness, however, and is now re- covering. As he fell from his hrnse, he lost his pocket-book, containing seventy or eighty doU lars, which, it is hoped, the finder will return. 1 he old man is near 100 years of age, yet he is able to read the service without the aid of glass es.—Sav. Rep. l«f i ntt . ° The IN. Y. Journal of Commerce of Wednes day, contains the subjoined paragraph • Cotton Broker's Association.-* We noticed on Mondav, an association under tfis title and we are glad to learn that all of the regular cotton brokers in this city have signed the articles of agreement and become members of the Board This Association will issue daily bulletins of the sales, and state of the market, and on Monday will give authorized quotations of the current prices. They will forma Board of Arbitration to which ali disputes and questions in regard to any transactions in cotton may be referred for settlement. This will be found of great utility and convenience to those residing out of the city, who may have difficulties to be settled here to which they cannot give their personal atten tion. The Board will keep standard samples of cotton, to which ail sales of given descriptions must conform. The members are liable to a fine lor omitting to render to the Secretary no tice of sales on the day they are made ; and such an omission, if extending to more than one day, will lead to expulsion from the Board. Under this system the sales will be classified and re ported with an accuracy never before reached in this market; while the trade wiil acquire in creased dignity and relative importance. Local. —Weather is clear and pleasant, with cold frosty nights. A fine tide in ibe river has reanimated business at the wharves. The Look Out brought up yesterday 70 bales of cotton and other produce. Ihe Loudon came down from above, laden to the guards with an assorted cargo of East Tennessee proJuce. Draying will be the order of the day on Market street, lor the next few months. Street improvements are going briskly for ward. Work while the suu shines is the motto. Merchants are smiling at the quick sales and large profits of their daily traffic. Travel through the city by Rail Road and steam-boat is considerable. Indeed, nearly as many passen gers pass through here daily as three years ago witnessed per week. So much for Rail Road facilities.— Chattanooga Advertiser , I*l inst. Halifax, Oct. 29. — From the Fishing Grounds —The Halifax Chronicle says information from the Gut of Canso states that a fleet of about 100 IT. S. fishing vessels were encroaching upon the fishery at Fox Island, in pursuit of an immense shoal of mackerel, and were committing depre dations upon the property and persons of the fishermen belonging to that place. In conse quence of this report, Sir George Seymour im mediately ordered the Bonita, Lieut. Bridges, to get ready for a cruise in that direction. The vessel accordingly sailed. Cotton. A correspondent of the Mobile Tribune, writing from Gainesville, Ala., under date of 20th inst., says: As to the cotton crop, the remarkably fine weather lor the last month has increased the yield one-third over estimates made six months since, and the crop will be now three quarters of an average one through this section. Caiiimmloi. Augusta Market, Nov. 2—p. m. COTTON.—The weather, to-day, has been unfa vorable to out-door business, and the transactions have been limited, at yesterday’s prices. There is but little offering. Ll\ ERPOOL, OCX. 14.—At the date of our last circular advices per Asia, on 7th inst., cur Cot ton market closed tamely, with estimated sales that day of 6000 bales, un Saturday few of tlio Trade were here, and the business did not exceed 5000 bales, at unchanged prices. The Niagara's accounts to hand on Sunday influenced a better de mand on Monday, 7000 bales changing hands at steadier prices. On Tuesday the eagerness to re alizo, and the quantity offering, caused more irreg ularity, and the sales were restricted to 5000 bales. At Wednesday’s market, (influenced by a confir mation of adverse accounts touching the growing crop reported by the Arctic,) a more cheerful tone prevailed; and the sales, which comprised 6000 bales, were at more regular rates. The trade exhi bited more disposition to extend operations yester day, and although the market was very freely sup. plied, sales were not pressed so forcibly, especially in the better classes, which are getting scarce; transactions were reported at 7000 bales. The do ] »' ir e to reduce our heavy stock of Surat Cotton still | exorcises a baneful influence on the lower qualities of American, with which they are brought into ac tive competition, and necessarily renders the price of the latter very uncertain. Speculators and ox porters do not assist to any material extent, as will . be noticed by the amount taken by each. The total sales of the week (as per details in the subjoined statement,) amount to 37,300 bales, of which 3660 are to speculators and 3170 to export ers, and include 36,450 bales of American, of which 3780 aro to speculators and 670 to exporters, leaving 30,470 bales of all kinds to the trade. The import for the same time is 14,123 bales, of which 5384 are American, PRICES TO DAY : i air. Middling. Ordinary, i New Orleans.. .6|a d 53a d 3fas d j Mobile Gsa, d ssa d 3ias d | Atlantio Gfa d s*as|d d | There is no alterat on in to-day’s market, which , closes quietly but rather more steadily, with estima ted sales of 7000 bales, of which 1000 aro to specula tors and exporters. Although moro confidence has boon displayed in our Cotton market during the past low days, tho feeling has been occasioned more by the limited supply of Cotton, classing middling and upwards, on offer, (and it is on these only that prices may be said to be steady, although all grades are a little more saleable,) and the advorse accounts, as receiv ed by recent arrivals, of tho weather and prospect of tho crop, than any improvement in matters previously commented upon, at home. Theso re-’ main much in tho same state; and the issue of con tonding disputes—whether in a political point of view, or as afiocting tho differences between the operatives and their employers, in tho manufactur ing districts are as doubtful as at any previous pe riod. Continental accounts leave little room to hope for a pacific result to the Turkish question, the armios of both powers being in motion; and the opinion gains ground that the Bank may find it ne i ©ossary ere long to again advanco the rate of inte : rest. It may therefore well bo doubtod if there ! an y J foundation to expect higher rates for the ; raw material as long as such circumstances exist to depress the market. The Manchester market remains in a state of great inactivity \ ery low offers have boen made by export houses, and in some instances accepted by Spinners, Ac., but, as a general rule, the busi ness doing is limited and very unsatisfactory, prices in al! cases favoring buyers. Next week will in all probability' decide tho question of wages for mill hands, and which wo believe will result in the de teat of the operatives. Our lira in market suffered a docline in the early part ot tho week, with more oagerness on the part of holders to be progressing in sales. Several speculative parcels of both Wheat and Flour being brought out for resale, on a restricted demand, established lower quotations. Yesterday, however, on receipt of official nows of war having beon pub licly declared by Turkey, and demanding that the Principalities should bo evacuated within fifteen days by tho ltussians, a reaction sot in, apd, thore was more business doing, which is continued to-day, and tho quotations of Friday last are again curront.
