Cotton.—The market is firm to-day with tales 1,750 bales. (Correspondence of the Conet. & Republic.! Mh.ledokvii.lk, Dec. 19, 1853. Mr. Editor: It will be perceived by the re port of the Senate proceedings, that the Com mittee on the State of the Republic, made sev eral reports to-day. All of these reports will no doubt meet with general commendation. The Convention of the Southern Planting S ate?, which met some time since, made appli cation to the State of Georgia for a geological (nivey of the State. This application was re 1, ired to the Committee on the State of the Re public. That committee in order to comply with the object ol the applicants, and at the fame time to prevent any future refusal of the S*ate to make a ready compliance with similar nquests, has recommended the appointment of 8 State Agricultural Chemist and Geologist.— Georgia lias hitherto been behind her sister States in this respect. The State of Alabama has had such an officer in the professor of Geology in her State institution, and to make a geological survey of the Slate has been made a part of the duties of the professorship. The same duties will be required of this State officer as are per formed by the professor in Alabama. The great beneficial results which will follow the creation of this office, will be apparent to every inquir ing mind on the slightest reflection. The report in relation to the monument to the s gr,er« of the Declaration of Independence, is a < haste and well written document. The third report is concerning the report of the Attorney General of the State of South Car olina, recommending in lieu of a suit in the Su j seine Court of the United States, the appoint ment of commissioners to confer with a similar commission from South Carolina. The business ot this joint committee will be to decide on the luundary line of the States of Georgia and South Carolina, on the mechanical uses to be made of the waters of the Savannah, and on the recip i cal advantage* included in an act passed by the General Assembly of South Carolina, con cerning the construction of ferries and bridges. All of these reports are exceedingly well pre pared, and much credit is due to Dr. McGehee, the Chairman of the Committee, for the very able manner in which they were written. The Democratic party had a meeting to night ia the Representative Ha!!. It was a large and enthusiastic meeting. President Stell, of the Senate, acted as President of the meeting.— There were four Vice Presidents. Gov. Cobb made one of the most powerful speeches I ever had the pleasure of listening to. Col. Howard, of Crawford, followed Gov. Cobb in a short but most effective speech. A committee of two from each Congressional District, through their Chairman, James Gardner, Esq., reported suita ble resolutions, which were unanimously adopt ed. In my next I will send you a report of the entire proceedings. HOUSE. The bill incorporating the North Eastern Railroad Company was on motion of Dr. Phil ips, of Habeisham. reconsidered. Dr. Philips offered an amendment that the Road should commence at Athens, thence to proceed by the way of Clayton, in Rabun coun ty, so as to strike such point of the Blue Ridge • ailroad as may be determined on by a majority •°f the Stockholders. Mr. Hardeman moved to amend the amend ment by inserting Madison, thence to Athens *iid so on, as mentioned in the amendment of Dr. Philips. 1 he amendment of Mr. Hardeman was lost, that of Dr. Philips adopted. A bill for the relief of Jessee Munroe, of Cherokee county, involving a lot of land. A discussion ensued between Messrs. Fields, Hay- R ie, Reynolds, Walton, Stapleton, McDougald imd Allread.

Keiloe,of ; that vessel, who it will be recollected had been , left there last week for the purpose o! taking j charge of the bodies of any of the officers or crew | of the ill-fated Cutter Hamilton, informs us that 1 the body of Capt. Rudulph was found at day * break yesterdaj' rnoi ning by Lieut. Kellog aud hansel!, in the surl near the waters edge, about 1 six miles south of Stono. The body, about the head particularly, was considerably decomposed, the clothing, however, with tio exception of the coat and boots was entire, and from that and a ring on his little linger, the remains were easily identified. They were brought to this city and will be sent to St. Mary’s, Geo. his native place, for interment. The funeral services will take place at the First Presbyterian Church, at four o’clock this afternoon. To Captain Pease and his officers, and to Captain Parker, great credit is due lor their exertions in endeavoring to re cover the bodies ot the unfortunate victims of disaster; and to Lieut. Kellog in particular, whose privations during his long search was very great, too much praise cannot be accorded. —Charleston Courier , 20lh inst. Commercial. Augusta Market, Dec. 21—p. m. COTTON. —Tho market remains much in the same state as noticed yesterday, and the sales made have bocn at irregular prices. Liverpool Markets. There being a slight discrepancy in some of the Circulars received by the Asia, relative to the Cot ton market, we subjoin the remarks of four of the leading brokers on the subjeot: LIVERPOOL, Dec. I!.—The Cotton market re mains without any change. Salo3 of certain de scriptions of low Cotton are effected at some im provement on the prices obtained a lew weeks ago ; but there is no general or quotable advance to be noted. The tone of the market is quite inanimate, and increasingly so within the last day or two. So far nothing has occurred to ameliorate, in any degree, the circumstances unfavorable to trado, which have been in force far the last three or four months. No termination is foreseen to the war on 1 or of the political complication to AUGUSTA, GA„ THURSDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 22, 1853. i which that war may lead. Money is again in in f creased demand, and is dearer; and the state oi trade at Manchester is such that a very general working or short time has been resorted to. Ai - the same time the operatives at Preston and Wigan p show no signs of yielding to the demands of the masters. i < The sales of the week are 46,380 bales, ot which 9,070 bales are for speculation and export, leaving 37,310 bales to the trade.

Dennistoun L \- Co. LIVERPOOL, Dec. 1, —Although the spinners have taken 5.0C0 bales Cotton in excess of last week, the trade has been dull, but no change has taken place in the currency .—Richardson, Broth ers V Co. LL\ ERPOOL, Dec. 2—The Cotton market has become dull since the sailing of the Arctic, and the late imports having afforded rather more choice of Middling Fair and above, particularly in boweds, prices of such have declined one-sixteenth to one eighth per lb., and indeed to effect sales of any quality lower prices must be taken. Several hundred halos of Cotton out of the stocks of Pres ton, Ac., spinners, have been brought down hero and put on the markot again for sale, within the last day or two, and although in ordinary times not sufficient to disturb prices, have at present not been without, effect. In Manchester business generally is very dull, but for light India Cloth there has beon more in quiry.—. Tames McHenry. LIVERPOOL, Dec. 2—The Niagara conveyed our last circular advices, under date of the 25th ult., since which we have experienced a steady de mand for Cotton. In tho early part of the week speculators operated to a fair extent, and, consid ering the decreased consumption, the trade have bought freely, the transactions being mostly in tho lower grades of American, which, however, con tinue to be treeiy offered, at former rates, The American advices, as usual at this season of tho year, differ materially as to tho probable ex tent of tho incoming crop, yet at tho uiomont they have but little influence on our market. The as pect of tho Eastern question creates an uneasy feeling, and this, together with the growing tight ness of our money market, tends to restrict opera tions : and were it not for the light stock of work able Cotton here, and small amount on the way, the existing feeling would soon show itself more prom inently, by a lower scale of prices for the staple. The quotations of last week are unchanged, but are with difficulty obtained to-day, the sales reach ing 6,000 bales, with a Hat market. PRICES TO DAY : Fair. Middling. Ordinary.

Cotton. —Arrived since the 13th inst. 23,943 bales. Total receipts of the week 54,282 bales. Cleared since the 13th inst., 14,197 balesi Tots! exports of the week 31,487 bales. Stock in presses, and on shipboard not cleared on the 16th inst., 2J3,847 bales. Our last report closed upon a very fair demand, but we had occasion to remark, that the operations of purchasers had been somewhat checked *by the more full rates demanded by factors, and a sight advance in the rates of freight. On Wednesday a still further advance in freights was realized, which compelled factors to slacken somewhat in their demands, and a tolerably fair extent of busi ness was done on that and the succeeding day (Thursday,) the sales of the two days being about 13,000 bales. Yesterday the weather was unfavor able for business, being dark and rainy, and very few buyers appeared in the market at all, and those mostly for limited parcels. The market, con sequently, presented an exceedingly dull and heavy appearance,under the pressure of advanced freights, the unfavorable weather, and the hourly expecta tion of later European advices by the Asia. The sales were barely 1,600 bales: making a total for the past three days, of 14,600 bales, and for tho week of 38,100 bales, taken for England. France, Spain, the Continent, and tho North. With res pect to prices, they have again become rather un settled and irregular, and we have to reduce our quotations slightly, the improvement of an j a jc., noticed in the early part of the week, having since been lost. The demand still runs mainly upon tho Middling and better grades, while the low quali ties, though till abundant, are comparatively neg lected and unsaleable. NEW-ORLEANS CLASSIFICATION.

CARTER'S SPANISH MIXTURE. *is: <>;i vi n hi j iik hi im: NOT A PARTICLE OF MERCURY IN IT. AN lnpalliblk remedy for Scrofula, King s Evil, Ilheumatism, Obstinate Cutaneous Eruption" Pimples or Pustules on the Pace, Blotches, Boils, Chronic, Sore Eyes, Ring Worm or Tetter, Scald Head, Enlargement and Pain of the Bones and Joints. Stub born l. leers, Syphilitic Disorders, Lumbago, Spina, Complaints, and all Diseases arising from an injudi cious use of Mercury, Imprudence in Life, or impurity of the Blood. r J This valuable Medicine, which has become celebrated for the number of extraordinary cures effected through its agency, has induced the proprietors, at the urgent request of their friends, to offer it to the public, which they do with the utmost confidence in its virtues and wonderful curative properties. The following certifi cates, selected from a large number, are. however stronger testimony than the mere word of the propri etors ; and are all from gentlemen well kuown in their localities, and of the highest respectability, manv of them now residing in the city of Richiuoud, Virginia P. Bovden. Esq., of the Exchange Hotel. Richmond known everywhere, says he has seen the Medicine called Carter’s Spanish Mixture administered in over a hundred cases, in nearly all the diseases for which it is recommended, with the most astonishingly good re suits. He says it is the most extraordinary Medicin* he has ever seen. Ague and Peter —Great Cure.— l hereby certify, that tor three years I had Ague and Fever of the most violent description. I had several Physicians, took large quantities of Quinine, Mercury, and 1 believe all the Tonics adveitised, but all without any permanent, relief. At last I tried Carter’s Spanish Mixture, two bottles of which effectually cured me, and I am happy to say 1 have had neither Chillsor Fevers since. I con sider it the best Tonic in the world, and the only medi cine that ever reached my case. „ „ JOHN LONGDEN Beaver Dam, near Richmond, V? C. B. Luck, Esq., now in the city of Richmond, and for many yerrs in the Post Office, has such coufidenceliu the astonishing efficacy of Carter’s Spanish Mixture, that he has bought upwards of 50 bottles, which he has given away to the afflicted. Mr. Luck says he basnever known it to fail wheu taken according to directions. Dr. Ming*,a practising Physician, and formerly of the City Hotel, in the city ot Richmond, says he has witnessed in a number of instances the effects of Car ter'sSpani.sh Mixture, which were most truly surprising. He says in a case of Consumption, dependent on the Liver, the good effects were wonderful indeed, Samuel M. Drinker, of the firm of Drinker & Mor ris, Richmond, was cured of Liver complaint of eight years standing, by the use of two bottles of Carter’s panisli MixtUie. Great 0-jrk of scrofula.—-The Editors of the Richmond Republican had a servant employed in their press room, cured of violent Scrofula, combined with Rhematism, which entirely disabled him from work. Two bottles of Carter’s Spanish Mixture made a per fect cure of him, and the Editors, in a public notice, say they “ cheerfully recommend it to all who are af flicted with any disease of the blood.” Still another cure of Scrofula.—l had a very valuable boy cured of Scrofula by Carter’s Spanish Mix ure. 1 consider it a truly valuable medicine.
