Several have been so repeatedly and em phatically passed upon as to be no longer mat ters ot dispute. Among these may be enumera ted the denial of power to Congress to charter a national bank, and to construct roads and canals in the limits of a State. The power to improve the navigation of bays, inlets, and rivers, and to construct harbors therein, except on our ocean and. lake shores, for the purpose of rendering navigation safe and easy, and of affording pro tection and shelter for our navy and other ship ping is still a question, and its existence is de nied. The exercise of the power by every Con gress since i he adoption of the constitution to construct lignt-houses, beacons, buoys, and pub lic piers and works, on the ocean and lakes, as protecting shelters for national and other vessels engaged in commerce, and the uniform acquies cence of the people, render it proper to treat the power to do so as admitted, and its existence not open to further question. While this is treated as settled, it is a matter of public duty to resist every attempt at an enlargement of the exercise of powers which are not clearly au thorized by the constitution. It is universally admitted that the federal government derives all its powers from the constitution, and few deny the cardinal principles that all grants of power contained in it should be strictly construed, and that doubtful constitutional power should never be exercised Does the constitution clearly con fer this power ? No one pretends that it is con ferred in express terms. It is claimed to exist as a necessary incident to the power over com merce. To exist as an incident, it must be ab solutely necessary to the execution of power ex pressly granted. It cannot exist where the ob ject can be accomplished, in a reasonable and practical manner, by another authorized agency. These improvements are clearly within the con stitutional competency of the States, under their conceded general powers, and also under their reserved right to levy tonnage duty with the as sent of Congress. The refusal by Congress to give its assent to such duties cannot confer con stitutional power to do what would otherwise be unlawful. Such power cannot rest upon so un certain and unworthy a basis as the wrongful act of an agent. Hence, this power does not ex ist as an incident to the power over commerce and absolutely necessary to its execution. The history of early legislation strongly tends to confirm this view of the question. Prior to the adoption of the constitution, each State had full power over its com merce, levied tonnage and other duties; constructed its own roads, and canals, light-houses, beacons, buoys, and public piers ; and improved its own harbors and rivers, if it chose so to do Each made its own regala tions, often prejudicial and vexatious to its neigh bors, according to its means and views of policy and duty, subject to the few restraints of the Ar ticles of the Confederation. To secure equality of lights and privileges, and preserve harmony among themselves, the States surrendered their general power over commerce, reserving the right to levy a duty on tonnage tor their own purposes, subject only to the restraining action of Congress. Tne debates ot the convention clearly show that one object of reserving to the States power to levy a tonnage duty was “ for the purpose oi clearing harbors/ 5 Mr. Madison, in explaining that part of the constitution which relates to these reservations and grants of power, while it was pending before the people, said : u The man ner in which the power is qualified seems well calculated at once to secure to the States a rea sonable discretion in providing for the conveni ency of their imports and exports; and to the United States, a reasonable check against the abuse of that discretion. 55 With this explanation before them, the States adopted the constitution. The early acts of the States and Congress were in strict accordance with Mr. Madison’s con struction. The States took charge ot what per tained to the conveniency of commerce and the improvements which its exigencies required within them, and surrendered to the federal gov ernment the jurisdiction and control over light houses, beacons, buoys, and public piers. Con gress assumed control over the latter, together with such external works as afford necessary shelter and protection in the then existing high ways of commerce and navigation, leavfng the States to construct such new ones as their sense ot duty might dictate. In 1783 Maryland passed a law authorizing the levy ot a duty of one cent per ton on vessels entering and clearing at Baltimore, for the pur pose of “ removing all obstructions and annoy ances 55 in the “ basin, harbor, ar.d river ss at that place. Atfer the adoption of the constitution, in 1790, Congress gave its assent to it. The next year an authority to increase this duty to two cents per ton was granted, and assented to by Congress. 1 his duty has been assented to by twelve acts ot Congress, the last of which, pass ed in 1850, authorizes it until 1861. In 1787 Georgia authorized a duty of three pence per ton on all vessels entering Savannah, to ‘ form a iund for clearing the Savannah river of wrecks below the town, 55 to which Congress assented in 1790, and again in 1800. In 1790 Congress as sented to a law of Rhode Island, passed that \ ear, authorizing a duty of two cents per ton on certain vessels arriving in Providence, to aid in improving Providence river. Bv a second act Congress authorized the continuance of this duty , l /aJ. in 1,98 Massachusetts authorized the levying a tonnage duty of four cents per ton on certain reg,stored vessels, and ten cents on those owned in Kennebunk river, and two cents on all others entering it, to reimburse the expenses « constructing a pier at the mouth of that river To this Congress assented the same year. In 1805 Pennsylvania authorized the levying a du ty oi lour cents per ton on vessels clearing from Philadelphia for ports out of the United States, to he applied to removing obstructions in the river Delaware below that city, which was as sented to by Congress. Virginia, North Caro lina, and Alabama have passed laws concerning the improving the navigation ot rivers and in* lets, to which Congress has given its assent. Maryland, Georgia, and South Carolina have each authorized certain tonnage duties, in aid of hospitals, which have received the sanction of Congress. These acts furnish instructive and indisputable evidence that our early legislators believed that the power over the “ conveniency of importsa ud exports 55 was reserved to the States, and could be safely and properly exer cised by them. v\ ith this evidence before us we dare not say, what we cannot believe that this power is a necessary incident to the exer cise of the power over commerce. The |*ower to improve rivers, though it may resemble it, is not identical with that of erecting j light-houses and other guides, and national shel ters for the mariner. Light-houses, often so lo cated as to be es little use to the State where sit uated, are never erected without acquiring the soil, and, in nearly all cases, the jurisdiction over it, so that the government can exercise most am ple control, and impose such restriction and re gulations as it deems necessary. But what State would surrender the property or jurisdic tion of its rivers and harbors to secure the uncer tain attention which the ever-varying action of Congress and federal authority might bestow ? Its love of State independence, aud desire to su pervise and control its own property, must in duce every State to prefer to be the'guardian of its own affairs. If Congress, without the con sent of a State, can assume the jurisdiction and control over it bays, inlets, and rivers, there can be no limit to its exercise of authority. It may assume that a work is an improvement for com merce which the State, when constructed, might deem ruinous. It might, by the exercise of this power, draw the entire commerce of one State to another. By combinations trade might be forced from old to new* channels, to the ruin and destruction of the interests of one or more States. Public works of great value to a State might be obliterated, or their business entirely diverted, by the exercise of this power, leaving the State ■ authority a crumbling monument of decayed and i prostrated political power. That if was not in- < tended to confer such power is strikingly illus- < trated bv the well-authenticated fact that it was t distinctly proposed to the convention which j formed the constitution, by one leading member and seconded by another, to create the office of “ Secretary of Domestic Affairs, 55 whose duty it should be “ to attend to matters of public police the state of agriculture and the opening of roads and navigations , and facilitating commerce through the United States, 55 without its receiving the favor of adoption by that hoMl while the proposition to confer the power provide for cutting canals where necessary ss was distinctly negatived by the strong vote of eight States to three. With this latter vote fell the proposition to grant charters of incorporation by Congress. The abolition by Congress ofall custom-house fees and duty on ships and vessels, with per mission to the States to impose a tonnage duty not to exceed a certain amount, while it would relieve commerce of vexatious impediments, would also enable each State to provide in future thosa improvements and conveniences which the exigencies of commerce in the States require. This could be by a general law applicable to all the States. j While the power over light-houses, beacons, s buoys, and public piers, as shelters for commerce, „ has been exercised from the foundation of the government, no instance is found of a direct ap , propriation by Congress to improve the navi , nation of a bay, inlet, or river, for the first thirty ! three years of the government. Such appropri ations first appear in light-house bills, and the expenses charged as light-house expenditures. Except small sums ior surveys, no expenditures , ot this kind are found until the close of Mr. Monroe 5 s administration. Oa the elevation of his successor, the broad power over internal im provements was assumed and exercised. Im mense expenditures were projected; and to guard against an empty treasury, under its new burdens, new taxes were proposed and authorized. A desire ot sudden wealth and aggrandizement at i the expense of the national treasury was widely ■ manifested, and sought gratification at the doors of Congress. Soon after the elevation of Gen eral Jackson, the exercise of this power was ar- I rested by a veto, which met the approbation of his constituents. In adverting to this subject. . in his annual message in 1834, he says : [ ‘‘ When the bill authorizing a subscription on . the part of the United States for stock in the . Maysville and Lexington Tunpike Company passed the two houses, there had been reported, k by the committee on internal improvements, bills containing appropriations for such objects, inclusive of those tor the Cumberland road, and . ■ for harbors and light-houses, to the amount of . about $106,000,000. In this amount was in -1 eluded authority to the Secretary of the Treasury to subscribe for stock of different companies to a . gieat extent, and the residue was principally r for the direct construction of roads by this gov r ernment. In addition to these projects, which . bad been presented to the two houses under the 3 sanction and recommendation of their respective committees on internal improvements, there e were then pending before the committees and . in memorials presented,but not referred, different 1 projects for works of a similar character, the . expense of which cannot be estimated with cer e tainty, but must have exceeded $100,000,G00.’ 5 These extraordinary projeeft were all arrested s by his veto ; and although similar authority o was assumed in the Wabash river bill, from j which he withheld his signature, this wide e boundless power has been since considered as d completely negatived. Whoever cherishes the £ State governments as worthy of preservation 5 will resist its revival, and seek to curtail the J operations of the federal government, and limit . its expenses. Instead ot increasing, he will seek y to diminish the number of its agents and their functions. Instead of expanding its powers by y construction, he will aim to restore it to its ori* ginal simplicity and purity. He will resist all r encroachments upon the powers of the States, e and its centralization at the federal head. He n will steadily and firmly oppose ail increase of n power and patronage, both legislative and ex ecutive. The too liberal exercise of powers by r Congress and the executive has a strong tenden r cy to increase those conflicts for political ascen ,, dency which so often sever the most sacred ties, „ and so frequently endanger the public morals ® and peace. t No system of internal improvements has been - devised which is free of difficulties and hazards. 1 Nature has conferred advantages upon one State - which she has withheld from another. These - inequalities presented a serious obstacle to the e formation of our federal compact, which was e finally formed by surrounding State authority n with numerious guards, and limiting the powers i. of the national government to enumerated ob e jects. Among these we do not find power to - equalize these advantages, or to create others. -• That would be doing more for one State than e an other, which would excite jealousy and discon d tent, if not violence, at injustice. After a State, -by her energy, perseverance, and the use of h.>r own means, and the application of her own taxes, - has made her necessary improvements, to require r her, through national taxes, to contribute to y wards those in another, would arouse indignant - and angry feelings, and tend seriously to disturb e the harmony of the Union and happiness of the e people. If Congress possesses this power, where shall ? its exercise commence, aud where end ? Where s does the constitution draw the line between pla ces within, and those without, its fostering care ? - I here must be such a line, or the power is with.- t out limit, and no work could be unconstitutional, i Shall this power begin at salt water and end at t fresh? Shall it be determined by the action of o the tides ? Is it confined to large bays, inlets, Y and rivers, to the exclusion of small ones? Do-s Y the depth, or current of waters, control ? How - salt, how deep, how large, or how swift, must 1 waters be, to be within the constitution ? How i far up a stream, that is within the constitution a at its mouth, does this power extend ? The ac s tion ot Congress in establishing ports of entry i cannot confer constitutional power where it did - not before exist. That would be to permit an t agent to extend his power by his own act. If it l exists only when the waters are partly in three l or more States, then Congress, in admitting new t States, and in assenting to compacts by old ones. ' arranging their boundaries, has the power of - bringing States within the mantle of the con l stitution, which, left in their present state and to 5 their own acts, would be without it. Such a i construction would permit a State ownin or the s whole of a river to cede portions of it to other ’• states w, * b tbe assent of Congress, and thereby n bring such river within the constitution By - \ rU ' e ’ u We concede to Congress a and the States the right to contract or expand 5 . he powers of the constitution. States having a e majority in both houses of Congress might, by a '* conce . m ovement, rearrange their boundaries 80 as to bring their principal waters within the g improving power of Congress, while all others - might remain or become excluded. No «uch construction can be sustained. Until distinctly e conferred by the sovereign power, a prudent re f gard for our common rights will require us to r*. f frain from the exercise of any such power. If j 1 we resort to it for authority to remove obstruc s tions in the bed of a river, may we not, when I r cheaper, cut a canal around them ? The power j s to construct roads and canals is now hardly claim- j . ed by any one. It we may cut a short canal 1 , the same power must authorize us to make a I k I long one. If we may make a new channel to . i float commerce, why may we not make a road ! j for it? It we may make roads and canals and ; improve rivers, we may levy tonnage duty or ! ; tolls lor their use, if not inflict penalties for avoid i ing them. The power to take toll direct is as clear as that to subscribe for stock and collect it through the agency of a corporation. If we have 1 the power to construct useful internal improve ments, it will l>e difficult to assign a valid reason why we may not, like the States, charge com pensating tolls. But no independent, free State would submit to such exactions. By adopting and adhering to a strict construction of the con stitution, we avert numerous evils. By it, the federal government, instead of exciting jealousy and discontent, would be the object of universal I respect, and the author of innumerable blessings. Instead of consolidating them into an unlimited and insupportable despotism, it would shield and I protect the sovereignty of the States, and there by transmit our happy form of government, in strength and purity, to remote generations. Appropriations for internal improvements would increase the public burdens, by increasing our taxes or the national debt to the extent of the money expended and interest. The records : °f the Treasury show that since Mr. Monroe’s administration this class of improvements, in cluding surveys, has cost an immense sum. Past < arge expenditures have not diminished the num ber of applications, nor the zeal and perseverance I with which they are pressed The cost of all 1 such works usually vastly exceeds the estimates, and the promises of small expenditures generally < end in disappointment. The expense of works t once commenced seems never to end. Usually they remain a perpetual charge on the treasury, t A bill embracing many of this class of works, t which received President Polk’s veto, appropria ted the sum of $1,378,450, which, if it had be come a law, would have added that amount to the public debt in time of national war. It is not unwoithy of consideration that public confi dence is shaken in relation to the motives which sometimes prompt applications for expenditures es this kind. The “conveniency of commerce” is always the assigned, while local interests and private speculations are often supposed to be the real motives. The appearance of petitions in Congress for improvements, followed by plats of cities and villages with lots for sale, is well cal culated to awaken such suspicions. It is far rater to decline all action on subjects so liable to suspicion and possible injustice, and confine our care to light-houses, beacons, buoys, and public piers, and such shelters on the ocean and lakes as commerce really requires for safety. It is earnestly desired, as far as practicable, to limit the discretion of the Executive over all expen ditures, to prevent abuse by any unfaithful pub lic servant. The laws should, under heavy pen alties, require all moneys received on account of the government to be promptly deposited in the public treasury, there to remain inviolate until paid out under distinct appropriations made by Congress. Than th’ present, a more auspicious aud ap propriate period could not be selected for this re form. Our fellow-citizens cordially approve the practice of rigid economy in public expenditures, while they are averse to all unnecessary discre tion over them by public functionaries. They justly deprecate a national debt as a serious pub lic evil, and will hold those creating it, when not occasioned by patriotic and approved considera tions, to a strict and salutary accountability. Debts should never be created, nor taxes impos ed, when the reasons therefor are not so palpa ble and conclusive as to challenge the approba tion ofall patriotic citizens. To construct works of internal improvements would be to increase, without apparent and imperious necessity, and tend long to perpetuate, a national debt. This would elicit the marked censure, rather than the approbation, of the American people. No one justly appreciating the slow rewards of labor, and the toil of tax-paying in debt-ridden gov ernments, will seriously contend that a national debt is a national blessing, any more than onor ous private debts are blessings to individuals. Except when required by an imperious sense of public duty, the legislative power should never consent to the creation or continuance of a pub lic debt, and never exercise doubtful power. [From the N. O. Picayune , 2 6th ins£.] Later from Mexico. By the arrival of the steamship Texas we are placed in possession of papers from Vera Cruz to the 22d inst., and from the city of Mexico to the 17th. The Texas left the American brig Toledo in the port of Vera Cruz, to sail for Laguna, on the 22d inst. The news contained in the Mexican papers, brought by the Texas, is of little importance. A decree has been issued regulating the for malities to be observed by captains, mates and crews of vessels, sailing under the Mexican flag. The step has been taken for the purpose of pre venting'lhe abuses practiced in the Pacific, in the purchase and sale of vessels sailing in the Pa cific. A circular of the Minister of Finance instructs the principal administrators of the revenue that the only duty legally leviable on money trans ported from one department to another, is the 2 per cent, imposed by the laws of the 24th No vember, 1849, and of the 24th of January, 1853, and then only when the money shall be in course of conveyance to the frontier for foreign commerce. “ The drawing for the conscription having, it is said, been badiy done, the Government has or dered it to be made anew', and that the whole process shall be gone over afresh w'ith the great est possible exactness.

Frederick Glennir has received his exe quatur as British Consul at Mexico. The good folks ofthecityof Mexico have been engaged in an exposition of the products of the country; and from all accounts it would seem to have been an excellent one.

As ‘ a lar ge and strong party were returning from the fair, an accident happening to one of the wagons ‘ ot a Senor Martin, he was left behind, with his f three wagons and eleven persons. Having re . paired after some time, Senor Martin hastened s to i oin the body of the caravan, and had got , within half a league of it, when a band of from t 180 to 200 Indians rushed down on the little r company and attacked it. After some manuju j vermg, two of the company fled, a shower of ar rows had wounded four others. Os the five re \ raining, one was presently shot by a mounted j Indian, who was immediately shot in his turn by ! Sen °r Martin, and as he le!l, the contest was t for some moments suspended. It was soon re > newed, however, with fury, and continued till a r Senor Thomas Malcampo shot another Indian when another suspension took place, and the \ Indians having three killed and five others wounded, began to retreat. The travellers now , had eight wounded, one of whom died a few t moments afterwards. They prepared them , selves, however, for another struggle; but they had not to make it, for the Indians perceiving the rest of the caravan returning to their assist ance, continued the flight they had commenced. , On the arrival of this timely succor, only one of [ the little band was unwounded, and only three were able to stand. This affair took place on the 17th of October, in Barrozo’s plain about two leagues Iroin Nona Pedrizenu. An impost ot five per cent, on the proceeds of ; all places ot public amusement, has been decreed by the President. A new decree, regulating the condition on which goods sent to fairs, &c., shall be exempt ed on being returned unsold, from the imposts to • which they would be liable if sold, has been is sued. A decree, exempting chief and under adminis ■ trators, and sellers ot Government stamps from the conscription, has been issued. 1 * Minister of .finance will receive proposi ■ tlo « s fo r farmmg the salinas ot Soto la Marina 1 a “, Ban fernando, in Tamaulipas, until the 17th i ot December. 1 he cholera, we are glad to perceive, is dimin | ishing at Merida and other places in which it had been prevailing. Many persons were in prison at Merina for having been concerned in the late outbreak. Senm Cisneros has been transferred to Tabasco A strong pursuit was being kept up after Senores Moles and Peraza. A letter states that the chief Carcano had announced that he had besieged Molas with three canoes, near Xolbox, and want ed troops from Sisal to enable him to effect their arrest. Several political arrests had been made in the city of Mexico, and Senor Gamboa had been j bauished on charge of having been concerned in a conspiracy to re-establish the federal iorm of government. Gen. M rtin P. De Cos has been nominated political and military chief of the Territory of Tehuantepec, in place of Gen. Tomas Marin. The Diaiio Olicial corrects the report that the privilege of constructing the railroad across the Republic from Vera Cruz to a port in the Pacific had been granted to Seaores Belianger and Rick ards. What was accorded to them was the pri vilege of constructing a railroad from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico. One of the conditions on w hich it is granted is that the projectors shall within six months procure share holders enough ‘ to undertake the enterprise, or forfeit the pri- 1 vilege. j A medal has been decreed as an honorary re com {lease lor services rendered in the adminis tration of the finances. A circular from the Minister of War prohibits 1 the imprisonment of civilians, in future, in mili- I tary places ot confinement. \ AUGUSTA, GA. THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1. For Milledgeville Correspondence, see first page.} 03*" Proprietors of Warehouses in Augusta and Hamburg will oblige us by having their stock of Cotton remaining on hand in their re pective warehouses, carefully counted for us this morning. Internal Improvements—Rivers and Har bors. We commend to the unqualified approval of every strict constructionist, the sound views on the subject of Internal Impiovements, and Riv ers and Harbors, and the constitutional power of Congress thereon, contained in an editorial of the Washington Union, which we copy. In it will be found some interesting items of Federal and State legislation on these w vexed questions.” The remedy for the temptation so constantly before Congress, to violate the Constitution by Internal Improvement and River and Harbor bills, is to adopt Senator Douglas’ bill on Ton nage Duties. This was a bill giving the con sent of Congress to cities and towns on the At lantic, the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico, and the great Lakes, to levy tonnage duties, not exceed ing ten cents per ton, on all boats and vessels entering their respective harbors, the proceeds to be applied exclusively to the improving, deep ening and rendering commodious and safe, the same—also, giving the consent of Congress to each State, in which a navigable river or water was situated, wholly, or in part, to levy tonnage duties on boats and vessels navigating the same, not exceeding ten cents per ton, the proceeds to be applied to the improvement of said rivers. This bill was offered as an amendment to the Internal Improvement bill, on the 23d of Au gust, 1852, but, though it received the support of the leading State Rights Democrats of the Sen ate, was voted down. The time was not propi tious for its passage. It was brought forward at the close of a laborious session, when its merits could not receive that full consideration they de served. It is to be hoped that the State Rights princi ples involved in the question will triumph in the approaching session by the enactment of this bill, or of one containing the same features. Platt & Brother. Asa card appears this morning in our adver tising columns, reflecting upon the senior part ner of the above firm, we feel it due him to make a passing comment. We do not desire to be considered as impliedly sanctioning any im putations against the character of that gentle man, lrom the fact, that our columns are used as a medium by which the matter is brought before the public. The subject in controversy has pas sed the ordeal of a public meeting of the citi zens of Oglethorpe county, which declared that no intentional wrong was the object of Messrs Platt & Brother, but that they were guilty of carelessness. As there are two sides to every controversy, and Mr. P. is amply capable of taking care of his character, which has stood hitherto unblem ished, as has also that of his brother, the junior partner of Platt & Brother, it is but just that no opinion to their detriment be formed on an ex parte statement. The Indians. It will be seen by advertisement, that the Indians, from South Oregon, give an entertain ment this evening. They have met with a warm reception wherever they have given an exhibition. Balances Due to Government. —ln his forthcoming annuafreport of the Treasury De partment, Mr. Gutherie, it is said, will show that the uncollected balances due to government on the Treasury books on the 4th of March last, exceed one hundred millions of dollars; of which amount over twenty millions have been since secured, while about eighty millions still remain unsettled. Orders have been issued to the ac counting officers directing them to use strenuous measures to enforce settle. The London Times on the Africanization of Cuba.— Jhe London Times devotes a col umn to the recent announcement or intimations by the Washington Union that Great Britain is engaged in a scheme with Spain to African iz« Cuba. The Times seems to think that plausi bility has its properties, if not its duties—that when the whole American nation is roused to rage, it should be for something credible, possi ble, or at least conceivable. Great Britain has a regard for money, and before she will expend twenty millions of pounds sterling upon any scheme, it must be a more leasible project than inundating Cuba with African apprentices, on the condition that slavery shall cease on that island at the end of fifteen years. The project, in the opinion of the Times, would be just the plan to perpetuate slavery, and the very thing desired by American capitalists interested in Cuba. The apprentices once landed and merg ed in the slave population of Cuba, who is to be able ten years hence to distinguish the man whose lease of his fetters and stripes is on the point of expiring from the fortunate possessor of an inalienable freehold? The following is the conclusion of its remarks: > “ Though we have not the happiness and hon or of being Americans, yet, as a natiou, we know the value of money, and can measure the prac ticability of schemes. We don’t attempt to cross the Atlantic in a punch bowl, much less is it likely that we should ever trust negro appren tices to Cuban planters, or emancipation to Spa , n **h honor. If not as good or as wise as we might be, we yet know what we are about, which could hardly be said of us if we ever had entertained for one moment such a project as that which has thrown the President, the cabi net, the press, and the people of the United States into a frenzy of virtuous indignation.” New Work. We have on our table the December No. of Harper’s New Monthly Magazine. It is filled with its usual variety ol original and selected ar ticles. We are indebted to Messrs T.

House ol Representatives—Demo crats 150 Whigs, 71, Free Soil 4. The total value of the foreign exports Baltimore for the week ending on the 4th ult., amounted to $368,270. The export of bread- I stuffs for the week comprises 21,131 barrels of ! Hour, 6,422 bbshels of wheat, 1,166 barrels of j corn meal, and 2,90® bushels of corn. Os tobac co 1,461 hogsheads were exported. Hogs.— A sale of 300 head cornfed Tennessee hogs, (says the Louisville Journal,) average not less than 190 pounds net, and to be delivered next month, at $4 05 per hundred. This is the only sale that has come to our knowledge, and will, we think, be found considerably under the ruling prices when the market has once fairly opened. Pork.— We have heard of no sales doring the last week. It is conceded by a majority of the farmers we have conversed with that $3 will be i the ruling price in this county.— -Lin. Journ. Further by the Atlantic. j The details of the recent affair at Oltenitza, have come to hand, and clearly show that the j Turks had achieved in it a brilliant victory over the Russians, capturing 8 guns, and killing and wounding 1200. The Sultan has announced that he would place himself at the head of the army. The latest advices from Vienna, dated the 3th inst., state that the Russian General in command having moved forward to Oltenitza with 24,000 troops, mostly infantry, on the 11th of October met the Turks, and a pitched battle ensued, which resulted in the Russians being compelled to retreat a second time in disorder on Buchar est, having lost 3000 men in their several at tacks upon Oltenitza. It is also stated, on reliable authority, that on the 9th of October the Turks were driven from the Island opposite to Giurgevo, but being rein forced, they re-took it, and Held possession there of at the last accounts. The Emperor of Russia has summarily dis charged all the English operatives from the Rus sian navy yards.

Louis Napoleon expresses himseslf strongly in favor of engaging in active operations to aid the Turks. The British government, however, evi dently vacillates. Prussia has notified its inten tion of reserving to itself peifieet liberty of action with regard to Eastern affairs. Austria profes ses neutrality, but the New York Herald on the authority of letters it has received from Mr Saun ders, the U. S. Consul at London, states that the Turkish government had notified her to with draw her troops from the frontier, or have her neutrality guaranteed by Fiance and England, or it would march an army into Hungary under Kossuth—indeed the agent of Kossuth has been openly received at Constantinople. Letters from Cabal state that a large Russian army was marching from Khiva, the Capital of Khiva—a country of independent Turkestan, having North, the Kirghiz steppe and the sea of Aral, East; Bokhara and the Karalpac territory. South, Khorassan, and West the Caspian sea— with the avowed purpose of conquering the country. These rumors added to serious apprehensions of a movement among the Afghans, led to large reinforcements of British troops at Betaisor (?) The British are in a bad position in Burmah— the troops every where being in a state of siege, and nearly the whole of the new provinces being in the hands of the enemy, and to make matters worse, a famine is raging in the country.

The Wbathkr, Crops, &c.— For the last fortnight, we have had a “spell” of the best seasons that possibly could have fallen upon the then condition of the crops, especially of the cot ton. The cold and wet weather of October and the first ten or a dozen days of the present month had injured the cotton beyond all expectation, much of it being late, and the latter portion of the summer and the first part of the fall being so propitious for its growth that an abundance of new fruit was formed, and with a late fall would have matured a crop that would have very considerably overborne the calculations of the Spring and early summer. The frost, how ever, with the rains, nipped all such liattering prospects as these in the bud, and one can scarce’- ly imagine the gloom and disparagement which seemed to hang about all kinds of business ; and to add a new leature to this discomfiture, cotton went down, and the war in Europe was herald ed as the immediate cause of a terrible ‘ money crisis,’ which was about to take place over the entire country. Just about this time our far mers steered clear of all trading houses, and the general opinion was that the" cotton was lost i beyond redemption, the weather was unusually cool for the season, and the unopened cotton bolls were filled with water, and the weather continuing cold and frosty, it must have rotted as a matter of course. But the last change to warm and dry weather, and its continuance for , about two weeks has had a most happy effect ■ fields which were given over with an abundance of unopened bolls, have been revivified under the gemai influences of the season and will yield a handsome compensation for another “picking.” In riding through a portion of this county we I have noticed, especially on new lands, that the , cotton weed is not entirely killed, this is possi bly owing to its protection from contiguous wood lands. It is certain in this section that the cot ton crop is much b ttered by the seasons of the I past two weeks—but it is a'shortcrop notwith- j standing — Sandersville Georgian , 2 5th inst. Whig Meeting.— A regular old fashioned Whig meeting was held last night at the Ogle thorpe Hall—Col. W. P.

The subject was referred to a Committee of twenty-one, appointed bv the Chairman. The Committe will report to an adjourned meeting to be held Wednesday night. We confess that we have great respect for the gentlemen who called and took part in this meeting. They are Whigs and not ashamed to own it, and not disposed to resort to some other catch name for the sake of obtaining office. This is a specimen of honest dealing strangely in con trast with much lately witnessed on the part of our political opponents. If they run a ticket and are successful, their rejoic.ngs over their triumph will not be embittered by the conscious ness that it was obtained by false pretences. Savannah Georgian , 29 th inst.

FUNERAL NOTICE. 05?“ The Friends and Acquaintance of i>lr. and Mrs. William 11. Cooper are invited to at tend the funeral of their youngest daughter this morning, at 10 o'clock. decl A CARD. Mr. Editor : On the Bth of November last there was a meeting of the citizens of Oglethorpe coun ty, in the Court House at Lexington, for the pur pose of exculpating Messrs. Piatt & Brothor of certain charges alleged against them in anonymous circulars, which had boon mailed at Savannah, and sent to many of the citizens ot said county. Said circulars eharged Messrs. Platt & Brother with altering their three hundred pound weight, by put ting in lead enough to make a difference of forty pounds in their favor in weighing a bale of cotton of four hundred pounds. It further charged, that other evidence would be introduced to show that this fraud had been practiced for several years. These circulars, it will bo remembered, called an “ indignation meeting"’ to be held on the eighth ts November, at 2 o’clock, in the Court House at Lexington. When the time arrived for holding the mooting, the author or authors of tho circular failed to ap pear ; and at the request of tho Platts the citizens assembled in the Court House. After the organization of this assembly, the Chairman appointed a Committee, whose business it was to recoive the evidence as it was given be fore the meeting, rotire to themselves and make out a report of guilt or innocence. When the Committee returned and read their report, a motion was mado by some member of the meeting for its reception. The yeas and nays were taken on the motion, and from somo causo, proba bly from the difficulty of ascertaining which had the majority, the Chairman failed to announce whether or not tho report was received. There was no motion made for the adoption of tho report, and tho meeting adjourned without attending to this very important item. Whilst the effort at ex culpation was going on, the following questions were propounded to Geo. F. Platt, to which he re turned the subjoined answers: Question I.—How did you ascertain your three hundred pound weight was not right ? Answer.—l supposed my weight was wrong be cause I lost by the weights in Augusta, and in tended! regulating the weight by weighing cotton , in Augusta, which I had previously weighed with said three hundred pound weight. Ques.2. — If you ascertained it was not right, by what standard did you attempt its regulation ? Ques. 3.—ls you put the lead in tho weight with out any standard of regulation, knowing that tho addition of the smallest quantity must make in your favor, why did you not lay tho weight aside in order to prevent its use until you were certain it was correct ? Ans.—l havo answered tho second and third questions by answering tho first. Ques. 4.—Since the lead has boen taken from the weight is not the weight correct ? Ans.—l believe the weight is correct ? Ques. s. — Who did you consult about the weight before putting in the lead ? Ans.—l consulted no one. Ques. 6.—Why did you tell Robt. Eberhart you knew nothing about the lead in the weights? Ans.—l may have mado the statement, but did not intend to convey that idea. It is necessary for us to state, in justification of ourselves in this publication, that Geo. F. Platt charged us with doing him great injustice in com municating to our friends tho facts relativo to the detection of the lead in the weight, and in tho con clusions at which we arrived. And when he was informed, after the adjournment of the above men tioned meeting, that owing to some circumstances connected with the proceedings of tho meeting, we designed publishing a statement of facts, he threat ened prosecution. These reasons, together with a | desire ol convincing the public mind that we have ; not circulated slanderous reports about the said j George F. having no foundation in truth, induce us to make tho following public statement of facts. On the third Monday of October, during tho session ot the fall term of Oglethorpe Superior Court, John Eberhart, Anthony Olive, Robert Eborhart, and James T. Johnson, were ascertain ing their weights, as is customary, on George F. Platt s scales. John hverhart is a very largo man, and with tho three hundred pound weight he would not weigh; but with tho two and one hundred weights ho weighed three hundred and seventeen pounds. On Wednesday following, Robert Eber hart and James T. Johnson got on the scales at tho game time, and with tho three hundred pouad weight weighed four hundred pounds, and with the two hundred and one hundred wo weighed four hundred and twonty-onc pounds, making a differ ence of twenty-ono pounds in George F. s favor. Tho three hundred pound weight was examined and found to contain lead, which lead the suid Geo* F. Platt now acknowledges got into the weight by tho agency of his own hands. In tho evening of Wednesday, after Robert Eberhart and James T Johnson had weighed on the scales, Geo. F. Platt, requested tho said Eberhart to state to him the facts alout tho detection of the load in the said Platt's three hundred pound weight. Eberhart complied with his request, and when he had con cluded his statement, tho said Goo. F. Platt disa vowed, as the undersigned, Robt. Eberhart, asserts, knowing any thing whatever about tho lead in the weight, and remarked that he supposed it was put ju by one of his Clerks. ROBT. EBERHART, J. T. JOHNSON.

My wife has been afflicted with it for twenty years, most of the timo suffering excruciating pains in every part of her body. Having no appetite whatever, she was reduced to almost a skeleton. So violent were the pains that she seldom could sleep without tak ing largo doses of opium.. Every joint was swelled very much, and her knees, hands and neck covered with largo lumps. She could do no kind of work, the sinews and muscles being so hard and contract ed that her limbs were drawn together, so that she was obigod to be in bed constantly. In this condi tion she had been for twenty years, wifflout ever getting any relief from every thing she used, until she commenced the use of H. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment, the first bottle of w hich produced a groat change. She has now used five bottles, and the swellings hhve nearly all gone down; pain has en tirely left her; she sleeps well and soundly; is more fleshy than evor sho was in her life; has an excellent appetite, and spins and sews all day. By the use of a tew bottles more she mus be as well as ever she was. If any ono doubts this wonderful cure, he has only to call at my residence, near Pe oria, and learn the circumstances from my wife's own lips, or he can further enquire of any of my neighbors. Samuei. Elso.n. H. G. Farrell's Liniment is also an excellent rem edy for palsy, sprains, bruises, cramps, chilblains, burns, pains, toothache, sore eyes, etc., and in horses or cattle is the best remedy in the world whore an extornal application is required.
