For one, your correspondent cannot see the force

constituency by a refusal of the House to legis

transact equally as well, and which does not con

House have determined that “public sentiment

the Legislature they ought to see that they
i hearken to that sentiment. • The House ought
to carry out the spirit of the law, giving this au
thority to the Superior and Inferior Courts, or
repeal it. The Legislature may sometimes make
good laws, but the members set a bad example
in carrying them into operation.
The following bills were introduced into tiie
Senate, and read for the first time.
Mr. Bailey, ot Whitfield : a bill to incorporate
the Fightingtown Mining Company.
Mr. Anderson, of Chatham : a bill to extend

county of Hall.

A bill to incorporate the Penfield Steam Mill
Company.
A bill to lay out and organize a new county
from Franklin and Elbert. This new county is
to be called “ Hart,” after the heroine ol Revo
lutionary memory. Some member suggested
that the full name of “ Nancy Hart” should be
adopted. The suggestion, however, did not meet
with sufficient approbation, to carry it out.—
Should this bill pass the House it makes the
number of counties 100.
BILLS REFERRED.
A bill to amend an act laying out the county
of Taylor. Referred to a special committee.
A bili to amend the Ist section of the 3d aiti

back to them.
The Senate then adjourned until 10 o’clock to
morrow morning.
No new development has been made concern
ing the Senatorial question since my last letter.
The politicians, u ho feel most deeply interested
in the matter have left for home, and at present
a quiet calm upon the subject prevails. The
general impression seems to be, that no election

Baltimore, Nov. 22 —Railroad Occident. —
The Fall River Train of last evening, from Bos
ton for New York, stopped at Stonington, Ct., to

wheels. While there it was run into by the
special train for Bridgewater, and by the colli

others slightly. The Rev. Mr. Potter, of S. C.,
bruised about the head, but is not considered
seriously wounded.

Growth of Cotton.
Various measures have been adopted by the
1 Governments of Great Britain and France to en
courage the production of Cotton in their colo
nies. Hitherto no marked success has attended
i these efforts. From late numbers of the Palis
| Moniteur, it appears that the same inducements
are held out for the cultivation of Cotton by the
j French in Algeria. A late Moniteur makes the
! following s atement:
The culture of Cotton is rapidly advancing.
I The magnificent impulse received this season is
j well known. From a few sparse lots which it
occupied last year the culture this year (1853)
has extended over more than 500 hectares (1,236
j acres); and nothing could be more satisfactory
than the reports with respect to it which have
; just reached us. If some failures, owing to the
. inexperience of planters, cast a shade over the
: picture, the crop in general promises to be all
j that can be desired, both as to quality and quali
fy- If may be considered as settled henceforth
that the culture of cotton is acquired to the coun
try. The problem is resolved. To time and to
; I“ e intelligence is now left the task of comple
s tmg the development ofthis rich culture, which
i ' Vl!1 in a !ew years emancipate French manufac
turers from the dependence on foreign produc
tion in which they are now held for a most no-

table portion of the supplies they require. But
the Administration has not been alone in com
prehending the magnificent resources offered by
the colony for the supply of cotton. At its sit
tings of 10th February last, the Chamber of Com--
merce ol Algiers voted 500 francs from the re
serve fund as a premium lor the best cotton pro
duced on plantations of a certain extent.
Ihe Prize, which was warmly disputed by
numerous competitors, has just been awarded to
a colonist of the arondissement of Blidah, whose
plantation, comprising eight hectares (20 acres) j
was pronounced to be in the the most prosperous
condition. Eight other cultivators received hon
orable notices. The Manufacturers’ Society of \
Mulhouse, having repeatedly made me of the |
cotton and other products of Algeria, has shown
its desire to co-operate for tiie encouragement of ;
such agricultural enterprises in Algeria as seem i
of a nature to contribute at once to the prosperi- !
ty of the colony and of the manufactures of j
France. The society has just established pie- f
miums of gold and silver medals for the encour- !
agement of the growers of cotton and ol madder !
in the colony.” !
The premiums offered were as follows:
A gold medal to the planter who shill have
produced in Algeria ahd delivered at current
prices in the department of Haut-Rhin, in France,
before the close of the year 1854, a crop of at
least 300 kilogrammes (662 lbs. avoirdupois) of j
short staple cotton, or 100 kilogrammes (221 lbs. ]
ol long stapie, sea island, cotton. A silver medal j
for crops ot half the above amounts respectively.
Samples of such products must be furnished
with documentaly evidence and information as
to expenses and inodes of culture.
Other indications are given of the interest felt
in this subject by the French authorities. The
Minister ol war in Paris has just established a
permanent exhibition of the agricultural produc
tions of Algeria. Ihe Moniteur of Thursday, in
an article announcing the opening of the exhibi
tion, thus alludes to the cottons which figure in
it:
‘But what has attracted the attention of the
Minister of War above every thing else are the
cottons which figuie there by samples of the
various species, with specimens near them of
cotton fabrics manufactured from them. This
precious raw material, off which the spinners of
Lille and Rouen have already established the
great manufacturing value, is destined to become
a source of wealth to the colonists. Government,
on its part, has just established premiums to be
awarded alter each season to the planters who
shall produce the finest crops.”
The Indian Summer. —The philosophy of
the Indian Summer is usually stated in this
wise: In the decay of plants and leaves in the
autumn, the heat which they absorb from the
atmosphere in the spring, is returned to the at
mosphere again, causing the extraordinary heat
of the Indian summer. The Indians, in their
undisturbed forests of decaying leaves, might
have found th s heat even greater than we do at
the present day. We believe the cold of May
and June is accounted for, in part for the oppo
site reason, that the springing grass and forming
leaves rapidly absorb the heat from the atmos
phere.
Important Cuke. —We were informed, a
few days ago, by Mr. Moore, living in the
neighborhood of Payneville, that he effected a
cure of th'e lockjaw on one of his horses, by ad
ministering to the animal chloroform—inhaling
the same in the nostrils. The horse was re
lieved in fifteen minutes. —Sumter (Ala.) Whig.

Augusta Market, Nov. 23—p. m.
COTTON.—We have uo change to notice in
prices. The demand is good and the quantity of
fering limited.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. It). — Cotton. — Arrived
since the 15th inst, 22,338 bales. Total receipts
of the week, 39,789 balo3. Cleared since the 15th
inst., 17,924 bale*. Total exports of the week,
23,196 bales. Stock in presses, and on shipboard
not cleared on the ISth inst., 154,406 bales.
Our list report left the Cotton market with a fair
business doing, and at rather more full prices for
the better grades, while the low qualities, though in
some demand, were readily obtainable at compar
atively easy rates, owing to their unusual abun
dance. Un Wednesday the demand was ronewod
with a fair degree of activity, and sales were effect
ed to tho extent of about 7,800 bales, the rates
ranging about the sarng as on the day previous.
On Thursday the market opened-with a fair enqui
ry, and sales had been made to the extent of about
3 800 bales, when the announcement of the Arabia’
arrival, with advices of the actual commencement
of hosti ities between the Turks and the Russians,
put a stop to operations Yesterday the market
prosentod but little animation, as parties generally
appeared desirous to obtain more definite informa
tion respecting the state of affairs in Europe, while
it was stated that countermands of orders and re
ductions of limits had been received to some ex
tent At all events only a few buyers came for
ward to operate, and the business of the day was
confined to about 4,209 bales ; making a total for
the past three days of 15,809 bales, and for the
week of 35,800 bale?, a considerable portion of
whi 'h has been taken for England, with parcels
for France, Spain, the Continent and the North.
In respect to prices, we have no marked change to
notico since our last report. Some of the purchas
es of Inferior and Ordinary Cottons which for a
long time accumulated without demand, indicate
a rather lower range for them, but the Middling
and better grades are fully sustained, buyers fail
ing to obtain any advantage since receipt of the
Arabia's advices.
