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.

A bill to separate the offices of Tax Collector and Receiver ot Baker and Gwinnett counties. A bill for the relief of Mary Roberts in the county of Hall. A bill to compensate Jurors in Habersham. 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 cle of the Constitution, so as to give the election of Judges of the Supreme Court to the people.— This bill has been in the hands of the Commit tee on the J udiciary, and has been again referred 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 will take piaee during the session. R. 1 Telegraphed for the Charleston Courier. ] Baltimore, Nov. 22 —Railroad Occident. — The Fall River Train of last evening, from Bos ton for New York, stopped at Stonington, Ct., to repair some damage sustained by one of the wheels. While there it was run into by the special train for Bridgewater, and by the colli sion five passengers were seriously injured, and others slightly. The Rev. Mr. Potter, of S. C., bruised about the head, but is not considered seriously wounded. [A later dispatch contradicts the above, and reports Mr. Potter dangerously injured.)—Eds. Courier. Baltimore, Nov. 22.— Explosion. —An ex plosion occurred this morning at Chi!ds ? distil lery, New York, by which one man was killed and another wounded. Baltimore, Nov. 22. Rhodf Island Election. —By the vote taken in Rhode Island on Mon day, it appears that the proposition for a Con vention to revise the Constitution is rejected by a majority ot 3,000. Baltimore, Nov. 22.— The Fisheries. —The latest accounts state the American mackerel fishermen have had a most unfortunate season. Baltimore, November 22. — Rail Road As signment. —The Directors of the Burlington and Rutland Rail Road, (Vt.) have assigned that property to Trustees for the benefit of all con cerned.

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- AUGUSTA. GA.. THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 24, 1853 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. Commfrriol. 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.
