SiTUHDAY MOBNINO, DECEMBER 3. ! f, arro jpondenee of the Const. & Republic.] Miu.kdgkvillf., Nov. 30, 1853. u s EJHor I have just returned from a meeting ot the “ Teachers Association.” This hotly I s at P ,esen *i ' n ses *i° K in this place and engaged in devising some scheme of “common „hool education,” to which they desire to invite tw attention of the Legislature. At the meet iug this evening, the Rev. Thomas B. Slade, of (’olum'uiiSi the President of the association, was railed to the Chair, and Mr. Malone, ot Savan appointed Secretary. The Executive Committee reported, that they had endeavored to procure, the services of gen tjemeii to address the society on select subjects, [,ut their efforts had proved unsuccessful. An other committee, through Professor Darby, re cited in favor of the establishment of a “ Board 0 ! Education,” with j.ovver to appoint a Secre cy, Interesting speeches were made in sup port of the plan recommended by the eommit {pe by the Rev. Thomas F. Scott, Professor Darby, and Professor Myers. The speech of Mr. Scott was practical, point fj. and full of instructive statistical information. Therevetead gentleman took position first, that the system of College education, though not without its advantages, did not reach the wants of the masses; he enforced this position by re ference to the experience of our own State, and of foreign countries. He took ground secondly against large appropriations of money for the purposes ot common school education. This po rtion was likewise stiongly enforced by arguing that all legislation, in advance of public opinion mud be futile. Under these circumstances be concluded, that the great desideratum was infor mation on the subject, and that the plan suggest ed by the committee was the proper method of obtaining this information. Mr. Scott, in his speech, estimated, that 71,000 of the adults of Georgia could neither read, nor write: that there was needed for the education of children in this State, about 7,000 schools, whiie there was not in reality more than 1,500. On motion, a com mittee, consisting ot Messrs. Myers, Darby and WalJci, was appointed to make a detailed report on the subject to the association at its meeting to-morrow night. It is estimated that sor 6,000 dollars will be sufficient for the purposes required by the “ Board of Education.” To-monow is the day appointed by the House lor the consideration of the subject of a u Re movai ot the Seat of Government.” There are tgreat many strangers present, who, it is sup posed, are endeavoring to exert an out-side influ ence. The friends of removal expect to obtain i majority of the House, but fear that their mea sure will be defeated in the Senate. SENATE.

Conference of the M. E. Church. Newberry C. H., So. Ca., ) Nov. 29, 1853. J The South Carolina Conference of the M. E. Church, South, commenced its session in this place on Wednesday last. Bishop Paine is pre sent, in good health,and his amiability and love liness of character, endears him to the body over which he presides. The sessions of the Confer ence have been marked by great harmony, and a religious influence is felt in the community. The usual business of an annual Conference does not possess much interest to the public, yet the body has been crowded with visitors. The weather has been delightful, affording ample opportunity to the citizens to enjoy the religious services of the occasion. Two Churches have been open for preaching at night, and one during the day. On Sunday morning, Bishop Paine preached an admirable discourse in the Methodist Church. whi<*h gave the highest satisfaction to an im mense congregation, which filled the house to its utmost capacity. At the close of the service, the ordination of Deacons took place. At the same hour, the Rev. Dr. Wightman preached in the Baptist Church, the Rev. H. S. C. Walker, in the Presbyteiian Church, and Dr. Whitefoord Smith, in the Court House. Crowds of persons were present from the coun try and surrounding districts. In the afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Stacey preach ed in the Methodist Church; the Rev. Mr. Mar tin, in the Presbyterian; and the Rev. M. Prich ard, in the Baptist. At night, the Rev. Dr. Cross preached in the Methodist, and the Rev. Mr. Durant, in the Baptist Church. The election of a Faculty for Wofford College, located at Spartanburg village, took place on Saturday, and resulted as follows, viz : The Rev. Dr. Wightman, President. Professor Duncan, (now of Randolph, Macon College, Va.,) Languages. Professor A M. Shipp, (now of the University of No. Ca..) English Literature. Mr. Jas. H. Carlisle, of Columbia, So. Ca., Mathematics. Mr. Warren Dupre, of Newberry C. H., Chem istry and Natural Science. The election of delegates to the next General Conference, to be held at Columbus, Ga., May 1854, resulted in the choice of the following per sons, viz: Dr. W. M. Wightman, A. M. Shipp, W. A.

The location of the Female College is »ot de cided, and a Convention of Delegates from the places applying for the Institution, is to be held during the present year. In haste, yours very truly. S. {From the N. O. Delta, 23th ult.] Later from Texas. By the arrival of the steamship Perseverance this morning, we have Galveston papers to the 25th, Austin papers to the 15th, and other Tex as papers. The Galveston News estimates the of Brazorio county at 6,720 hhds.,should the sea son continue favorable. The News says : Altogether, the crop will be somewhat short of last year’s; though the quality being better, it will probably nett more to the planter The rains have been very partial throughout the county, auu on some places the plant cane has been an entire failure, owing to the drought. Should the present season continue, most of "the planters will be^through grinding by the Ist of January. The News of the 22d has the following in re tion to the removal of the Colorado Raft and a survey of the Brazos river: Lieutenant Stevens. U. S. A., arrived from New Orleans by the Perseverance, and procee ded to Indianoia, from which place, we under stand, he will go to take charge of the work of removing the Colorado raft, which is under his direction. We learn that every thing is now in readiness. The steamer Kate has been our chased and repaired for that purpose. But it is understood that the $20,000 appropriated to this improvement, will fait to accomplish it, though it is believed that, by cutting a new channel for the river across the bend, where the principal part of the raft lies, much less money will be re quired, while the object will be better accom plished. as this new channel wiil be much shor ter, and less liable to be obstructed by the lodg ment of another raft. Lieutenant Stevens will probably give this enterprises in charge of Capt. Ward, than whom it would be difficult to find a more competent man. Capt. Ward is truly the pioneer of Western navigation iri Texas. Lieut. Stevens, has been directed to make a survey and examination of the Brasos river, and will soon go to Washington, and from thence come down the river to its mouth. We suppose the report of his survey will be the basis for an appropriation by Congress, necessary to remove the obstructions to navigation as high as Wash ington. The News of the 25th, in its review' of Gal veston market, remarks: No arrivals from northern ports have taken place. In business generally there has been no great movement—few persons from the country are visiting our city, and receipt of produce continue small, for the advanced season. the rivers we have no information pro mising for early opening of navigation; weather was dry and warm, favoring cotton planters in finishing their crops, while for sugar-making the season is not as propitious as is desired; the yield will be two-thirds only of last years crop in Brazoria county. At Houston, the receipts of cotton have been pretty considerable, and store business is repor ted active. On account of the low stage of wa ter, the steamers have brought but little cotton from Houston lor shipment from here. The opposition steamers running, between this city and Houston, having once more come to an agreement, the old high rates o» passage have again been adopted; we shall, however, have more frequent communication under the new arrangement. Sickness has not altogether disappeared from this city and Houston, owing to continuation of changeable weather, and a high range of the temperature for this Jate season. Major Wm. R. Scurry, who was an unsuccess ful candidate lor Congress at the late election, has become editor of|be Austin State Gazette. . The Pioner thinks pork will rise to five or six cents per pound in Centreville, Leon county,as mast is scarce this year. The same paper says, sellers are there asking seventy-five cents per bushel for corn. The health of Indianola and Lavaca is com pletely restored, cotton is coming in at both pla ces, in business is revived. The State Gazette of tfie 15th says the mem bers of the Leislature are prosecuting the labors of the session with commendable diligence. The bill introduced in the Senate, to provide for the construction of the Mississippi and Pacific Railroad has been read twice and referred to the Committee on Internal Improvements. An amendment to the Constitution, removing the prohibition again banking, and authorizing a general free banking system, has been intro duced in the Senate. The Galveton News learns that a bill has been offered for the establishment of two unversities, one in Eastein and the other in Western Texas, and requiring an appropriation for the erection of suitable buildings. General Honston addressed the citizens of Travis county, in Austin, on the 12th inst. The State Gazette says the General had a very large audience, and that the principal portion of his address was devoted to an able and earnest ad vocacy of the Pacific Railroad. He eloquently exhorted the Legislature not to suffer minor schemes to retard the progress of this grand en terprize, Col. S. L. B. Jasper, late of Cherokee county, died very suddenly in Austin on the 11th inst. He was a natfveof Beaufort county, N. C. The Ridge Meeting. —We are delighted to see that our fellow-citizens of the Ridge are awake to the Columbia and Augusta Railroad enterprise. It is precisely what we expected from them. Read their resolutions. They have as much the tone of men who intend doing more than they profess as any thing we have seen in a long time. The response of Edgefield is for once readily and eagerly accorded to the call ot her sister Districts. May we not say, without offence, that this is so, because the proposition now made to her is an eminently reasonable and practicable one. We trust our Legislators will notice the hint given them in the last resolution. We can net imagine, that a shadow of difficulty will lie in the way of obtaining the Charter for this road. It occurs to us however that opposition wa9 made to the Charter of the Savannah river road, and it may occur here also. But the good sense of our Legislature will not be tampered with by any interests, to the extent of defeating a most proper and lawful prayer.— Edetfvld Advertiser , 30/A ult.

COTTON —The market to-day has been quiet, buyers showing but little disposition to operate, It must be a strict grade of Good Middling to bring 9£conts; Middling Fair 9], and Fair to Fully Fair, 10 a 10]c. CHARLESTON, Dec. 2. — Cotton —There was quite a good demand for most qualities of Cotton throughout the whole of the preceding week, and the transactions, which in the aggregate, reached fully 9,000 bales, maybe classed among the largest of the season. The sales from day to day showed a gradual improving tendency in prices, and when we closed our enquiries an advance of I a sc. was established in prices, bringing the middling quali tits within the range of 9 j a 10$c., and Middling Fair and Fair, lOiallc. During the first two days of the week under review, about 1800 bales chang ed han is, with the above quotations forming the basis of operations. The demand, however, sub sequently increased, from what cause we are at a loss to determine, and Monday and Tuesday were comparatively active days—the sales having reach ed fully 3300 bales—but the bulk of the transactions were not of a character to in. art either confi dence or stability to the marke On Wednesday, the market wore a languid ar drooping appear ance, and the sales, which did nc reach 700 bales were made on terms decidedly in 'avor of buyers'. Yesterday, the article was entirely neglected, and the sow parcels that changed hands, showed a de cline of i a Jc. from the highest point of the mar ket, but there was not enough done to establish prices; and,under present circumstances, our quo tations must bo considered nominal. The receipts of the week reach 11,483 bales, and the sales in tho same time may be put down at 6300 bales, at the following prices, viz 19 bales at 7J;37at 81 ;38 at 8£ ; 93 at Si ; 50 at 8j ; 583 at 9 ; 441 at 91 ; 28 at 9g; 435 at ; 136 at 9|; 57 at 9jf; 71 at 91 • 854 at 10; 158 at 10£ : 1463 at 10J-; 142atl0jf; 114 at 10 7-16; 583 at 10J; 734 at 10|; 305 at 10J; -45 at 10 13-16; 47 at 10 J ; and 49 bales at 11 cents. The transactions in all descriptions of Lorn* Cotton continue very limited. Tho business of the week, just brought to a close, docs not exceed the salo of 80 a 100 halos, on terms showing a further declining tendency in prices. Corn. —The receipts for some time back have been very light, which has materially reduced the supply, and the stock on sale is now comparatively small, which has enhanced the value of the ar ticlo. We have advanced our quotations of Mary land and North Carolina to 75 a 80c.; and would remark that a cargo of the latter—4,ooo bushels —received hero a sow days since, the first of the now crop, brought 80c Country Corn is retailing in small lots from 80 a 85c. Flour. —The Flour market has boen very much depressed since our ia3t, and sales have been ef fected at a reduction on former prices. Favorite brands, which have been selling at 6 { a $7, have declined to s6] per bbl.; and such qualities as here tofore commanded s6] in bags, have declined to Tho stock oonsisfa altogether of country Flour. Bacon —Sides and Shoulders have boen very much neglected. The former has boen selling in small lots at 7j and 8 cents, which is a decline on last weok’s prices. Thestockof the latter consists altogether of common quality, for which there is no inquiry, and present quotations are nominal. — Hams command from 8 to 15 cents as in quality, Salt. —Tho demand through the week has been supplied at $1:40 per sack. Soma 4000 sacks were received yesterday, a small portion of which has gone of! at the same price. Tho supply is light. Freights. —We quote Cotton to Liverpool, in square bag 3, at id. and dull.
