We have been shown a letter from an intel ligent gentleman of Floyd county—a Union De mocrat—to a Iriend in this city, giving an account of the prospects of the regular Democratic tick et at the approaching election. Being personal ly acquainted with the writer, we attach a good deal of importance to any information derived from him. We will remark, however, that it is the first intimation we have of Southern Rights Demo crats being inrrawd that the Democratic Execu tive Committee did not change the Electoral ticket at Atlanta—an act they had no authority to do. We doubt whether any of them will carry any feeling they may have on the subject so far as to countenance, by their votes at the polls, the new Union ticket movement of Capt. Wofford. 'The writer pro.iaui} rgfors to Union Democrats alone "K»tng Sneerseif. and as sustaining the ■■ yvortoid The followiSg is an extract from the letter: " Rome, Sth Oct., 1852. ■ Since I saw you at the Convention at At lanta. I have made it my business to make full enquiries amoi g prominent Union Democrats, in regard to the position that Union Democrats will occupy in the approaching Presidential con test. They are much disappointed at the refusal of the Southern R gbts Democrats to make a fair compromise of the Electoral Ticket, and I believe that the mass ot the Southern Rights Democracv, in this section of the State, were as much disappointed as the Union Democrats were Some were so much incensed that they are sustaining Capt. Wofford in his new Union Ticket movement. These are confined to Cass, Cobb, Cherokee, and perhaps Forsyth and Lump kin in the Cherokee counties. In the other Cherokee counties so far as I can ascertain, there will be but few. if any Union Democrats, who will support this new Union Ticket; some may not go to the polls, because of an unwillingness to vote th* Democratic ticket without some mo djneation—others are lukewarm and indifferent, but my opinion is that the great body of the Democratic party will fall into line and support the ticket that they know will be most likely to carry a majority of rhe popular vote of the State. In fact in this county (Floyd) and in Murray. I know of uo Union Democrat who will withhold his support from the ticket, and Col. Elijah W. Chastain informs me that in Gilmer the Demo cracy never were sounder or more united than they are a: this time, and I learn that the same is true of Union county, and also of Whitfield, Walker. Dade and Chattooga counties.” How is Pierce to Carry New York ? The Buffalo £j-p«ss, a Whig Free-Soil paper, under the above caption goes on to figure out a handsome majority in New York for its favorite candidate. Gen. Scott. Its conclusions do not impress us very forcibly: but the following ex pressions in reference to Gen. Pierce, meant to prejudice Northern voters against him, will not do him much harm at the South. Messrs. Foss and Fogg are used at the South t o nrove Abolition tendencies upon Gen. Pjerce; while the North, he is denounced by papers that support Gen. Scott as a devotee of slavery."' Theoppjs’twn of the Abolitionists, Foss and Fogg, and of ti." Buffalo Elxpress, cannot fail to promote the popularity of Gen. Pierce, not with Southern men only, but with the oppo , o- tho ■ taw ” where. Tb“ Free-Soil partv is dissolved—it? or*an ization abandoned, and it has no ticket in the field. Toe voters who composed it, are left to resume their old party affinities, or form new ones. Whigs who voted for Van Buren, did so because of groundless fears, that the election of Ger.. Taylor would be a triumph of slavery. Men who left the Whig party for that reason, now, that the Free-Soil party is no more, will not be likely to vote lo- Gen. Pierce, who is th: espc ialpet and. candidate of the slave pouter On theoth r baud, some Democrats who could not vote for Cass, because of his pro-slavery rela tions, will find it difficult to give their support to Mr. Pierce, who is even more of a devotee of slavery than was Gen. Cass. —Buffalo Express,’ Oct. 5. Indignation Meeting at New Otleaus.

The Washington National Jntellingencee oi Thursday, has learnt with deep regret through a letter received in that city the previous day from Lima, the death of William Pitt Adams. Esq., British Consul General and Charge d’ Affaires Lima He died on the Ist September. Mr. Adams was several years ago, for a considerable time attached to the British Legation at Wash ington. [communicated.] Mr. Gardner long since I observed in the Augusta Chronicle A Sentinel, several affida vits. taken from some Abolition paper at the North, and signed by several Abolitionists. Their ostensible object was to brace up, or sub stantiate the false and infamous report of a speech made by their Abolition brother, A. T. Foss, and attributed to Gen. Pierce. Notwith standing two or three of them (I have not the affidavits now before me) said that, from their 1 ‘ understanding," they ‘ think” Gen. Pierce said he ‘‘ loathed " the Fugitive slave law—the tes timony of the larger portion (and indeed all) of those affidavits wont to show, that Gen. Pierce was opposed to slavery, in the abstract, but was in favor of standing by the requirements of the Constitution. The affidavit makers fur ther testified that Gen. Pierce said it was re volting to his feeangs to see a fugitive carried into slavery, &c. &c. And the Chronicle Ot Sen tinel publishes these affidavits for the purpose of injuring Gen. Pierce, and giving currency to the falsehood, (and known to be such by the Editor of that paper, and every other intelligent and reading man.) that Gen. Pierce is an Abolition ist, or favors that infamous crew. Now. Mr. Editor, admitting that what those affidavit makers say of Gen. Pierce, be true— admit that he did say that it was painful to him to see a fugitive “ in chains," and carried back to slavery—admit that it is repugnant (or ■’revolting" if you please) to bis feelings, to see a fugitive deprived of his liberty, &c.—ad mit all this, and if it makes a man an Aboli tionist. or unsafe for the South—it one who feels and has expressed himself somewhat in this manner, be unfit to be voted for by Southern men—and the Editor ot the Chronicle A Sentinel thinks so. I would advise him immediately to in quire into the views and feelings of one of his own candidates—l mean the Hon. CHARLES J. JENKINS—and deno*”'"e him t- 1 do not wish to be misunderstood, Mr. Editor. I am not going to make an attack upon the Hon. Charles .1. Jenkins about this matter. No man in Georgia admires Mr. Jenkins more than the writer, it that admiration be within the bounds ot decency. No man has more confi dence iu Mr. Jenkins' elevated patriotism, honesty of purpose, and purity of character, in private lite, than the writer—and his devotion to the rights ot the South, I am not disposed to question for a moment. But 1 repeat, Mr. Ed itor, it another, who has been equally devoted to the Constitution of his country, and the rights of the South under that Constitution, be censured and injured and misrepresented—and no attempt is made to throw him in a false position, merely for the expression of those sentiments common to the better part ot the human family—why, my motto is, “ What is sauce for the goose : ' ought to be “ sauce for the gander.” And I say again, if Gen. Pierce is any thing like an Abo litionist on account of the expressions above al luded to, then, upon investigation. I think the Chronicle -y Sentinel will find Mr. Jenkins not rrry f ar removed from where Gen. Pierce stands. And they ought to hold him up as op posed to the rights of the South, too. Without further parley. I will now call atten tion to an incident in the life of Mr. Jenkins, which many members of the Legislature will recollect, and which Mr. Jenkins himself will recollect. And if I should now misrepresent him, (for I speak from recollection) and he will only speak for himself, and tell the Chronicle Sr Sentinel or the public, what he did say on that occasion, such is my confidence in his manliness and truthfulness, on all occasions, that I am per fectly willing to admit that I have misunder stood him, and will stand corrected. But to the incident. During the session of the Legislature in 1549, some member wishing to show his devotion to slavery and the interests of Georgia, introduced a bill, which wasjodssfrf. to repeal a law then ex isting which prohibited negro trai/ers from bring ing slaves into the State tor sale. Among others, Mr. Jenkins very properly, and very wisely, as time has shown, strenuously opposed the repeal of that law. He made (as he always does) an able and eloquent speech, against its repeal. He considered its effects, and predicted results which we have seen, and which caused the< last Legislature to re-enact it again. And 'luau we7c , Mvoeht inMthe Stated the manner in which they were brought, &c.—and he said, in sub statue, that however others might feel, or however they thought about the matter, whenever be saw them brought through the streets of Augusta, hand-cuffed and chained as the}’ were, &c. &c., his feelings did revolt at spell things,’’ &e. icc. "It was a nuisance." Now, Mr. Editor, I do not pretend to give Mr. Jen kins’ precise language. What I have given may n«t be so strong as what he said, or it may be stronger. But one thing I do know, and it is, that some of the members present who I thought mean enough to steal if they bad a fair chance, termed Mr. Jenkins an Abolition ist for making these remarks. And another thing I do know, and it is, that when the writer of this heard these attacks upon Mr. Jenkins fur the remark made, he took the liberty of unreservedly (and in as public a manner as he heard the term used,) pronouncing those who termed Mr. Jenkins an Abolitionist, to be scoundrels. But this is not all. The writer af terwards, in one of the presses of this State Alluded to those attacks made upon Mr. Jenkins for th.wc remarks—and while the word ’’ scoun drels " was not used, language no less expressive was then used in relation to thr.sa who bad thus slandered a kind, philanthropic, noble and pa_- trivtig Georgian. Having felt thus sod acted thus, Mr. Editor, when Mr. Jenkins was thus assailed, you can. perhaps, irnagaine how’ disgusting and how con temptible it appears to me, to see respectable and intelligent gentlemen, for pin ty purposes, re sorting to such discreditable and unworthy meaj.s to injure Gen. Pierce, or any body else. And if it excites no other feeling, it arouses a spirit to see that “justice be done]’ and it is with this spirit I now make this communication to you. As to the remarks of Mr. Jenkins alluded to, I have no quarrel to make with him in relation to them. And yet I am one of those who not only look upon slavery as a blessing to the South—who conceive that ri is the existence of slavery here, that produces that conservatism in the South, co essential to the preservation of the Union—and that its existence here, keeps out from amongst us that population so foil of isms, and so destructive to any country—but (look upon it as a far greater blessing, still, io the whole African race. Those who are here, while they are made to labor and serve others, and brought under the influence of th? Gospel, are civilized and christianized — and, as time pro_- gresses, we are sending them back to the *’ father land.” And I cannot but look upon our South ern slavery as one of God s means to bring the whole African race out of heathen bondage. With these feelings, I should think it a difficult matter to find a stronger slavery man than my self. And though I have not quite that repug i nance which Mr. Jenkins seemed to have, to | see mean negroes in chains, yet 1 have no quar rel with him for those kind and humane feelings which he gave vent to with so much earnest ness. They were the offspring oi a noble, a generous, a humane and Christian heart: they : were the offspring of the heart of a man, above i suspicion as to his fidelity to the institutions of | the South, and above reproach, among gentle '■ men—and I quarreled not with him then, nor do • I quarrel with him now, in relation to them, j Still less, am I disposed to quarrel with Gen. i Pierce, who has not seen Southern slavery and I knows not its advantages, for using similar (or j possibly stronger) language. And the Chronicle ■ If Sentinel, and others, ought not to quarrel with him either, for those expressions alluded to, un i less they quarrel with Mr. Jenkins, too. i But as a Southern slavery rnan, and as a »a --| tive Georgian, raised and educated in the State— -1 all I ask of Gen. Pierce, or any other Northern man is, to stand by the Constitution, as made ' try our Fathers. He has stood by it tiler a man, j for the last twenty years, and “ shoulder to i shoulder” he has been with the nun °f the South, ; even in refusing to hear or consider even the : petitions of the Abolitionists, while Daniel Web ster anil Winfield Scott were giving “ aid and comfort” to these very wretches, Pierok shit stands by that Constitution and the rights of the South under it, with all the frankness and| bold ness of former days; and, much as I love Jen kins, I love my country more ; and with the permission of God, Pierce will get my vote I cannot throw it away, when so much is at stake. When such a man as Pierce, and such an one as Seward (for 1 look upon Scott as but the tool of Seward,) are contending for the reins of the government,! feel that it is no time lor a true and faithful son of the South, and of the Union, to dally ; or throw away his vote upon a “ third” or hopeless ticket, even though it wore entirely acceptable. And with these viewsand feelings, if I am able to be carried to the polls, Pierce shall get my vote, although 1 have never, for any important office, voted for one calling him self a Democrat, before. An Old Whig. Outrage on the U. S. Mail Steamer Crescent City We publish an account from the Delta, of the indignity to our flag and to the rights of Ameri can citizens in the case of the Crescent City. On this subject the N. O. Picayune makes the fol lowing just comments: C ask of the UiiKscKN r'Crrt.—The treatment ot the U. S. Mail steamship Crescent City, by the authorities of Havana, which is recorded in the protest ot Capt. Porter, published elsewhere in this paper, has a grave signification for the American people. It is not merely that a fla grant outiage has been committed, w hich is well calculated to rouse deep excitement and indigna tion throughout the land. That might have been the act of a hasty subordinate on an extra ordinary emergency, not indicating a settled and authoritative declaration ot public policy, the Spanish functionaries of Cuba have done many such acts before, for which they have re ceiv. d toleration—more, perhaps, than they merited, Irotn the exceptional circumstances with which they were surrounded. Under any position of public or international relations, however, such an act as this, a public insult to the American flag, an ignominious ex pulsion of an American vessel from a Spanish port, without specific cause assigned, or even the ap|>eurance of judicial complaint, examina tion or proof of offence perpetrated or intended, the practical proscription of Americans and the annihilation of all intercourse with Americans, as the penalty for the existence within the United States of a liberty to speak at all upon the affairs of Cuba. Such an act. with its pre sumed and all but officially proclaimed motives, would have roused a universal feeling of resent ment. Under present circumstances it has a deeper significance, and raises itsell into national importance. A step so grave in its character, adopted with so many of the forms ot ostenta tious deliberation, and carried into effect with such statelv and cohl <>•••»>ol purpose, is not an incident to be responded to by bursts ol popular feeling, the tumult of an outraged na tional pride, to be appeased by some actol atone ment lor mistake or misdirected zeal. It has all the gravity of a national defiance, and is doubtless taken, in full view of ail its consequences, and as part of a system of hostile policy, to be followed up by all the acts necessa ry to justify and defend it. In this view, it is a momentous incident; and as such it must neces sarily come under the immediate attention of the Government of the United States. There is no room to doubt of the intention, and no space for procrastination. If steamers bearing the mails of the United States, under the charge of officers of the United States, assigned to that duty by the Government itself, are to be forbid den to enter a regular port in Cuba, driven off without being permitted to know the cause— but lor probable cause which involves an arro gant supervision over the presumed expressions of citizens of the United States, on their own soil— a |l commerce with Cuba is at an end, all relations springing out of commercial intercourse might as well be annulled, and it becomes the immediate duty of the Government of the ag grieved country to adapt its own intercourse laws to that state of affairs, if not to prosecute some vigorous measures to obtain satisfaction for the indignity offered in the open and unan nounced breach of all the comity which should ex ist among nations at peace with each other. We anticipate, indeed, an outburst of popular feeling at the deliberate off'ensiveness of this act, and the intolerable presumption of the imputed causes; but the expression will be tempered by the conviction that the affair is ot a national gravity which will secure for it at once the vigi lant action of the Government, charged with the protection of the national interests and dignity. Some very important inferences, such as the Spanish authorities would be very unwilling to admit in terms, may be drawn from the adoption of a policy so dangerous, and of such extreme severity of precaution as this. That dominion must stand on a very frail busis which fears to be shaken by the distant whispers of strangers, and which dares not, under the safeguard of twenty thousand soldiers, allow a newspaper to come into the Island which discourses of its affairs, or a letter to go out of it, without hunting up the author for vengeance. Such a dominion condemns itself as odious, while it stamps itself with the confessed hand of unscrupulous tyranny, in the means it employs to oover its acts with darkness and silence. These are the infallible manifestations of fear, not conscious strength ; and the risks which it challenges, in the defiance and insult thrown out against the United States, have more of the air of perverse despetation of purpose than of true courage or dignity. Such j measures so rash and so reckless, almost incline us to pause in the incredulity with which we j have hitherto received the threats of the Spanish royalist partisans, that Spain would rather utter ly destroy the Island, and deliver it over to the dominion of the blacks, than part with its sove reignty. Certainly the authorities betray an extraor? aLfliTT’ “''I 1 nrriffi solidity ol their power, and no scruple as to the means they will use to hold on to it as long as possible. These are sad omens of the struggle through which Cuba is destined to pass: but they are additional warnings to the United States of the perils which may be pre ci pi luted upon this coun try by the adoption of some of the desperate re sorts which are threatened—contingencies which Weidd invoke the immediate iuterpositoin of this Gove,,imp,>;t in a case of the most urgent self-protection. lComepo.uhnre of the Bni’Juii:di Gea;gla;t.\ Florida Election- Tallahassee, Oct. 6, 1852.

COTTON—Our market opened on Wednesday last with a good demand, which continued up to Saturday afternoon, holders realizing full pv»eos for all offered. On Saturday afternoon wo receiv ed unfavorable advices from Charleston and New York, which, in a measure, caused a suspension ot business. On Monday the market opened quiet and continued so during the day, and on 1 uesday the market remained much in the same state, buy ers refusing to give the prices psked by holders. The receipts are on the increase, which gives buy ers some advantage, and they show but little dis position to operate unless at prices which most holders refuse to accede to. Our quotations below (showing a decline since Wednesday last ot fe.) may be considered nominal, but they are the as i ing rates of sellers generally.

On Monday morning three days later accounts from Liverpool were an nounced, representing that market as being un changed, will: light sales. These accounts had no perceptible effect upon prices ; the sales of the day amounted to 223 bales. On Tuesday and Wednes day the market was dull, the sales on the first day being limited to 295 and the latter to 247 bales. There was a fair demand yesterday, the sales amounting to 459 bales The market closes unsettled, and we still find it difficult to give correct quotatons, but wo believe the following represents, as nearly as possible, the present state of the market.

CHARLESTON, Oct. B. Cotton.— This article was very much neglected during the provions month, and lha market from time to time wore a decided languid and drooping appearance, dosing fina’ly on the 30th ult., at prices about ic/under the rates current at the opening of the season, bringing fair quality down to about 1 le. This con cesfc.on, however, heavy as it was, did not seem to meet the views of buyers, as th y have, throughout the present veek, preying for still lower rates. Circumstances, which have strengthened them in this position—sueh, for instance, as a limi ted demand, the gradually increasing stock, and the position wf some ofour leading domestic mar kets —have also had their influence on our sellers, uome of whom have met the market, which has re sulted in a further reduction in prices. The week opened with a wuderatuiy fair demand, and during the first day—Friday—about 900 bales changed hands, a shnde under the quotations given in our report of that morning. Saturday was a quiet day, the sales liavjng been limited to some 100 bales ; but the demand subsequently imp’uvpd, and the ■ operations during the three succeeding business ' days averaged about 860 bales per day, at prices ! showing a decided downward tendency. Yester- | th.; iqarket again very much neglected, 1 only 314 Ijqlos Laving been told, and the week i closed at prices c l.Q>yer tht',n they v»c r e qn Istiqst i Wg have changed our quotations to correspond with this state of things. There Is very little of the extreme grades on this market, wo therefore have no quotations to offer for those qualities. The receipts of the week comprise 4538 bales, and the sales in the same time resulted as follows, viz: 3 bales at 81: 46 at 8$; 94 at 9; 35 at 50 at 9’; 390 at 71 s at HR; x«j2 at liB; 13c |OJ; 765 at 10); 546 at 10); 702 at l(>i; 22 at )0); 4SB at 11; and 14 bales at 11 Je.

The market for all descriptions of Long Cotton has beqn very quiet, as there has not been enough doing*to establish a market.

For ten years, it his proved more othcacious as a remedy for Coughs, Colds, Inflnenzn, Bronchitis, Asthma, and Consumption, in its incipient stages, than any other medicine. Various conjectures and surmises have arisen respecting its composition ; some physicians have supposed it to contain iodine, other ignorant pre tenders say it must contain mercury, and to some such substance they attribute its singular efficacy. As such opinions are altogether erroneons, and cal culated to prejudice many persons against it, wo plocjflp our honour that it contains nothing of this kind, or anything the least injurious ; on the con trary ; it is composed of the most simple substan ces, the principal of which are the extracts of tar and wild cherry bark, and the whole secret of its efficacy consists in the inode by which they are prenyl.'

GENTLEMEN in the South, proposing to en gage in manufacturing, are respectfully in vited to give their attention to tho superior merits of our Senior’s Patent THROSTLE for spinning Cotton. Its pr’uclpic is applicable to the several hint’s of spinning now in use, and it spina more rapidly, with a more even twist, with less power and loss attendance, than any other spinning frame. In this Throstle, bands are dispensed with, and the bobbins are driven by resting the beveled edge j fef their tubes on the beveled edge of a horizontal • friction wheel, 2 feet 8 inches in diameter: an ar- ' rangement which not only saves the expense of the bands, but effLGis a very great saving of power.

"Scott's Weekly,” one of the best Literary papers published, said, August 25 * ‘•Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, manufactured bv Dr. Jackson, are now recommended by some of the most prominent members of the Faculty as an article of much efficacy in cases of female weakness. As such is the case, we would advise all mothers to obtain a Ixittle, and thus save themselves much sickness. Per sons of debilitated constitutions will find these Bitters advantageous to their health, as we know from expe rience the salutary effect they have upon week sv terns." MORE EVIDENCE. The Hou. C. D. Ilineline, Mayor of the citv of Cam den, N. .1., says: “Hoofland's German Bittern.—- We have seen mauv flattering notices of this medicine, and the source from which they came induced us to make inquiry respecting its merits. From inquiry we were } ersuaded to use it, and must say we found it specific in its action upon diseases of the Liver and digestive organs, and the pow erful influence it exerts upon nervous prostrati ,u is really surprising. It calms and strengthens the nerves, biingiug them iiito a state of repose, making sleep re fresh- ng. “If this medicine was more genoially used, we are satisfied there would be less sickness, as from the stomach, liver, and nervous system the great majoritv of real and imaginary diseases emanate. Have them iu a healthy condition, and you can bid defiance to epi demics generally. This extraordinary medicine we would advise our friends who are at all* indisposed, to give a trial—it will recommend itself. It, shou'd. in tact, be in every family. No other medicine can pro duce such evidences of merit.” upon evidence, like the foregoing, from all sections of the I’niou the last three years, and the strongest testimony in its favor, is, that there is more ot it used in the practice of the regular Physicians of Philadelphia, than all other nostrums combined, a fact that can bo easily established, and full}’ proving that a scientific preparation will meet with their quiet appro val when presented even in this form That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint ami Dyspepsia, no one can doubt after using it as directed. It acts specifically upon the stomach and Liver; it is preferable to calomel in all billions di cases—the effect, is immediate. They can bo administered to female or infant with safety and reliable benefit at any time. LOOK WELL TO THE MARKS OF THE GENUINE. They have the written signature of C. M.
