is no novelty. The federal
■fUs7y has always entertained it from the pur-
E*f tt&se of Lousiana to the cession of California
■C aoahappily their apprehensions have never been
|t fcUKzed.
nexirThe fuitber apprehension expressed by the i
'hM’resident that the incorporation of Cuba into ;
bdy.ie Union would affect in a prejudiced manner the
industrial interests of the South" is rather amusing,
particularly coming from the source it does.—
When did Mr. Fillmore imbibe such a tender
regard for the industrial interests of the South ‘ It
must have been long posterior to the date of his
Erie letter, and his anti-southern votes in Con
gress ’
The more candid reason, probably, is indicated
in the remark that if the Island were compare- i
five destitute of inhabitants, or occupied by a
kindred race, he should regard it a most desira
ble acquisition. That is, if there were no slaves
in Cuba, and it were occupied and cultivated by I
free labor alone, the vast commercial and agri
cultural advantages of the acquisition would have
their due effect upon his mind.
We are pleased to see that the President does '
not justify the exclusion of the mails and pas
sengers of the Crescent City from Havana, be
cause " that obnoxious individual, one William
Smith, ’ was on board.
The "friendly and peaceful” expedition to
Japan wears marvelously the appearance of a
fillibustering movement in behalf of Northern
commerce. Yet, if it peacefully achieves the
professed objects of the administration, the South
ir people will not be among the last to accord
o it the due meed ol praise to which such re
ults are justly entitled. Whether the unusual
and expensive array of Paixhan guns and thirty
two-pound carronades be necessary auxiliaries
to the negotiation, and will silently effect the
purpose of their mission, the advocates of " peace
on earth and good will towards men/’ may rea
sonably have their misgivings. It may result
like the energetic negotiations of the British
government for the restoration of the Chinese
opium trade, and the opening, by treaty, of
five commercial cities of the Celestial Empire, i
previously sealed to European intercourse.—
lifllTJUdteTb be the case, the next effort
sympathisers to aid the Cubans to
throw off the yoke of Spanish tyranny, may
reasonably expect from their fellow-fillibustero,
President Fillmore, less harsh epithets than those
of free-booters, pirates and plunderers, which
greeted them from that source on a former occa
sion.
In referring to the exports from this country
of the industrial products of our citizens, and the
imports from foreign countries, the President
gives the latter at $207,240,101, and the former
at $148.861,911 only, while there was in addi
tion an export of 542,507,285. in specie. The
object of thus stating the case, without a com
ment on the latter item, is doubtless to afford
the whig* another opportunity to raise the cry
of overtrading, and in the excitement of a panic
create a pretext for increased duties on foreign
merchandise. But it is obvious that this amount
oi.specie is exported the product of American la
bor in California and as legitimately an object of
commerce as cotton, ceal, iron or manufactured
goods. Instead of a drain on our resources, it is
a fair basis for importations of the products of
foreign industry in exchange.
On the subject of the tariff, and of specific du
ties and ad valorem, and the mode of assessing
them, no new fact or argument is brought be -
fore the public in the Message.
The Message contains some useful suggestions
with a view to the greater efficiency and better
discipline of the naval service. It presents an
interesting and gratifying view of the condition
of the nation, and of its relations with foreign
Governments. There are other topics which
may call for comments on some future occasion.
Cotton Crop Estimate for 1852.
L. Aehorttime since, we published the excellent
position of Brother, Cotton Bro-
■ ° rs. New York, which aimed to elicit estimates
■° ot which the probable crop of 1852, might be
Hk jAJtd at with some degree of accuracy. The
jt interested us sufficiently to induce us to
W *d an estimate in conformity to the terms,
ii we accompanied wi'h a letter comment

pearly since then, we have been solicited
-ainto receive estimates until in September, at
■f«4e urgent request of several highly respectable
engaged in the Cotton trade, we is
FL/sued the Cotton Crop Circular to which you have
t re *As far as we are concerned, its terms will
be religiously observed. The estimates received
by us between this date and prior, and upto De
cember 15th, will be safely kept, seals unbroken ;
none will be received after. On the Ist or 2d
of February, in the presence of respectable wit
nesses, each estimate will be opened and recorded,
the moneyagain placedin same envelops, and re
sealed, and again deposited lor safe keeping.—
When the N. Y. Prue Current estimate is pub
lished in September next, the party whose
estimate is nearest to the declared crop, will be
advised of same by letter, signed by the subscri
bers, and two other respectable parties.
If we hail more leisurely considered the mat
ter this season, we should have delayed the time
of opening the estimates until the Ist of Septem
ber. ,
Whether we shall undertake it again another
year, we are not prepared to say.
It requires a great deal of our time, and thus
costs us too much. If, however, we shall decide
to receive estimates again next season, we will
early advise, and also consult you as to the time
which you suppose most agreable to Southern
estimators for recording their estimates.
Yours, is the only letter we have answered on
the subject. We should be pleased to answer all,
but we cannot spare the time, which is the capi
tal employed in our business, Cotton Brokerage.
With kind regards, yourob’t. serv’ts.
F. L. T.. of Tai-cott & Brother.
We do not coincide with them in considering
that it would have been best to delay opening
the estimates till Ist of September. It would be
best to let the arrangement stand as it is, and on
the Ist of February, when the estimates are
opened, publish to the world the average es
timate. That is, add together all the estimates,
divide the amount by the number of esti
mates sent in, and give this result to the public.
This would be a useful guide to planters, manu
facturers and speculators. The information, how
ever, derived by this plan, might perhaps be
considered as fairly the private property ol
Talcott & Brother, or as belonging exclu
sively to the estimators, each of whom could
be advised of it by a circular. But taking an
enlarged and patriotic view of the subject, it
would be greatly better to put the result in the
possession of the whole public, thus placing all
dealers and all classes interested in Cotton on an
equal footing. Even then, there will be abun
dant elements of uncertainty affecting the value
of the article.to create great diversity of opinions
and call for the exercise of the highest sagacity
ia making operations.
From th# Ist to the 15th December is scarce
ly time enough to allow for estimates to reach
New York, as from many portions of the Union
a letter might lie longer in transit. It would
have been better to have agreed to receive ail
that reached New York by the Ist of January,
but requiring them to have been mailed by the
Ist December.
Fire.
About six o'clock last evening, we had an
alarm of Fire, which was discovered to be under
the portico of Mrs. Rogers house, just below
the market, on Broad-street. It was soon put
out without doing any damage. The combusti
ble materials found under the portico, leaves no
doubt but that it was the work of an incendiary-
Harper's Magazine.
The December number we consider superior
in interest to any of its predecessors. We hope
to make room for several extracts from its at
tractive pages. To-day, we give one which,
som what condensed, originally appeared in an
English Magazine, sixteen years ago. It is en
titled -t 2’Ar ffouse of Afowming, u Farce.” It is
a gem in its way.

—Liability of Common Carriers.
We publish to-day, an interesting decision of
the Supreme Court, delivered by Judge Nisbet,
on this interesting subject. The decision seems
to be sound law, and conformable to equity and
common sense. The case is clearly stated, and
well-reasoned It will repay an attentive per
usal.
Later from the Ceniual Railroad.—Mr
; Gaudry has kindly extended to us, the following
j information, which he received by telegraph from
j Griffiin’s dinner house, (9Js station) Irom super-
I intendant Millen.
“ The passenger train can pass to-morrow
I (Friday,) from Savannah to Augusta. Take
I passengers if they offer, and notify the hotels
i that the passenger train will probably be able to
i reach the 9J station, (Griffiin’s) on Saturday.
The train must not pass beyond the 58 mile
I post, on Friday, as 1 have sent a train to the 58
mile post; which will meet it. You can take
j passengers to the 9J station, on Friday. —Sav
' annah Georgian, 3d inst.
We are pleased to see the connection restored
between Augusta and Savannah.
We notice that the late floods detained num
bers of passengers at Griffin's dinner house,
which was full for several days. These nassen
| gers were fortunate at least in the place of their
detention, and were doubtless well cared for.
Griffin keeps one of the best Hotels in the
Southern country. Those who pass that way,
and appreciate a good dinner, should not fail to
give him a ca’l.
Speaking of the recent fatal accident that oc
curred on the Camden Branch of the South Car
olina Railroad, the Darlington Flag says that the
Conductor, Mr. Scantling, received severe inter
nal injuries, but refused assistance from those
oroffering it, telling them to let him alone and
attend to the passengers. M. Sloan, an officer on
the cars, was severely injured. So soon as he
recovered from the stunning effects of the fall,
with his face all bleeding, returned manfully to
his duty ; and his assistance was of great benefit
to the wounded, and afterwards to the passen
gers. Several other persons connected with the
Railroad, rendered material assistance to the suf
ferers.
A gentleman, by the name of Fallen, was ob
served with great presence of mind, immediate
ly after the accident occurred, giving all necessa-
I ry directions for recovering the dead and wounded
from the wreck of the broken cars, and nobly
working himself for the preservation of the lives
aiwl wrorwfy other-
A most thrilling scence occurred immediately
: after the breakdown ; a child's voice was heard
I calling from the bottom of the cars, which had
fallen in, Pa ! Pa ! It was covered up with bro
' ken plank and the trunks of sixty or seventy
i passengers. It was the child of the Rev. Mr.
I Pringle, an Episcopal clergyman, who, in great
agony, was wringing his hands exclaiming, ‘’my
I poor baby I” and supp'icating the Almighty to
I save his child—and his supplications were heard,
| for, after a half hour's hard work, his baby was
i miraculously saved, with scarcely a scratch upon
: it. Mr. Muldrow, who was also in the same
i car, escaped uninjured, and Mr. Henry B. De-
Lorme only had bis leg a little bruised.— Char.

Half of the LaGrange, Ga., Reporter office is
for sale. The proprietor says that a good prac
tical printer, with a small capital, will find this a
profitable investment, as the office has a good
subscription list, and excellent job and adver
tising patronage. Other particulars will be giv
en in response to enquiries addressed, pre-paid, to
the Reporter office.
We learn from the Savannah Morning News
that as the steamship State of Georgia was pass
ing dewn the Savannah river on Wednesday
morning, the steamer Alabama fired the usual
salute as she passed. The wad from the Ala
bama's gun struck one of the men in the State
of Georgia in the face, inflicting a slight flesh
wound. The wounded man was brought on
shore and properly cared for.
The receipts of dry goods at New York for the
past month are $1,192,468 greater than for the
same month last year, and $707,305 greater than
for the same month in 1850. The total receipts
since the Ist of January show a falling off, as
compared with the same period last year, of
$3,076,306, and of $2,349,741, as compared with
the same period of 1850.
Indiana U. S. Senator.—The Governor of
Indiana jjas appointed Hon. Charles W. Catch
cart as Senator in Congress, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Whitcomb.
Consort to the Palmetto.—We learn from
the Baltimore Prices Current that the Southern
Steam Packet Company have contracted for a
side wheel steamer of 1,100 tons burthen, length
210 feet, to run with the Palmetto to Charleston.
She is to be completed by August next.

base of Mills’ bronze equestrain statue ol Jack
son. Its length is about fifteen feet, width eight

said to lie the largest block of stone ever trans
ported to that city.
Coal in New York.—The Buffalo Commer
cial Advertiser says it is asserted on reliable testi
mony that within 75 miles of that city several
seams of coal exist, on the same land, one above
another, some of them of extraordinary thickness
and of the finest quality, free from sulpur, and
excellent for various manufactures.
Alboni, it is now said, will not go to Havana,
refusing the handsome sum of $25,000 for twenty

The Electoral College of Georgia, was organ
ized on Monday, the ’9th of November, by
unanimously electing Gov. Wilson Lumpkin,
Chairman, and appointing Mr. Nisbet, of the
Federal Union, Secretary.
Owing to the great flood of rain, which pre
ceded the meeting of the Electors, and the con
sequent injury to the Railroad, rendering them
useless for the time, it was with great difficulty
that many of the Electors reached Milledge
ville. All did, however, finally get there, Mr.
Forman arriving n few hours alter the vote was
cast. This gentleman is said to have rode sev
enty miles on Wednesday, the first day of De
cember, in order to reach the seat of Govern
ment, and to have made greater efforts to over
come the difficulties in his way from the sea
board, than most men would or could have done.
His vacancy, under the statute law of the State,
was filled by Dr. Tomlinson Fort.
The public were invited, through the Mil
ledgeville papeis, to witness the simple and
brief, though impressive ceremony, ot casting
the vote of Georgia, by chosen agents; and a
special invitation of like impotf was given to
his Excellency Gov. Cobb, and each ot the
State House officers.
At 12 o’clock on Wednesday, the first day of
December, the Electoral College repaired from
the Library Room to the Senate Chamber,
where the Governor and State House officers
were duly received and seated, and the vete cast
according to the Federal Constitution.
The Chairman, upon announcing the vote for
Pierce and King, made a short and impressive
address, which was well received.
It may not be amiss to remark that the day
was celebrated by firing 27 g’rns, emblematical
ot the 27 Democratic States, so arranged as to
have a gun announce the commencement and
termination of the ceremony in the Senate
Chamber.
The College then returned to the Library,
and] appointed J. Manson Stell, of Henry, Mes
senger, requested a copy of Gov. Lumpkin’s ad
dress for publication, and adjourned, sine die.
Address of Judge Lumpkin.
The unanimous vote of the Electoral College
of the State of Georgia, just cast in the presence
of this audience, in favor of Franklin Pierce, of i
New Hampshire, for President of the United j
States, and in favor of Wm. R. King, of Ala- j
bama, for Vice-President, has been given in
accordance with the will of the people.
But while the Electors have discharged the
duties of their agency with fidelity to the will
of their constituents, it may not be improper to
remark, that they have discharged those duties,
with great pleasure and gratification to them
selves. Their views in connection with this
important subject, entirely coincide with the
popular voice of the whole country.
Fellow-citizens: We are favored with parti
cipating in the events of the most interesting
period of human history. It is in vain, that we
search the pages of the past, to find any parallel,
to the rapid advances of the last hall century,
in every thing which exalts and ennobles hu
man nature. Knowledge and wisdom have in
creased, and been extended, throughout all
known parts of the habitable globe.
And when we contemplate this brilliant age
of human progress; how profoundly grateful
should the American citizen be, in beholding his
own glorious Confederacy of Independent Sov
ereign States, standing at the head of the list of
Nations, in advancement, virtue, intelligence
power and prosperity.
Great indeed, are our natural geographical ad
vantages as a people.
But the chief corner stone, and basis, of our
superior progress as a people, is to be found in '
our admirable political institutions —both State
and Federal. We have the best system of gov- ;
eminent on Earth, when faithfully administered,
according to the letter and spirit of our written
Constitutions.
And here allow me to say, that from four i
years’ association and service, in the Senate of :
the United States, with Gen. Pierce—the Presi
dent elect —I have unshaken confidence, that we :
are approaching the dawn of a faithful, consti
tutional administration of the Federal Govern- i
ment.
My opinions are based on the antecedents of
his public life. I look to the new President I
with great confidence—“ To regard, sacredly,
the reserved rights of the States —for a stiict
construction of the Federal Constitution a de
nial to Congress of all powers not clearly grant
ed by that instrument—and a rigid economy of
the public expenditures.” ,
He has been elected to the Chief Magistracy
of the country by an almost unprecedented ma
jority of the popular vote. It is no sectional tri
umph—to the East, the West, the North, or
South. AU have equal claims upon the fidelity
and kind consideration of our Chief Magistrate.
No faction, clique, or selfish combination of pol
iticians, have any superior claims upon his fa
vor. He is the President of the whole people, |
especially of the unofficial sovereign people, of ,
all sections and parties. And I trust and believe, j
that under his administration, the guarantees of
the Federal Constitution will be so firmly en
forced, as to secure to each State in the Union
its equal and reserved rights. Such a course will
cherish in the heart of every true patriot, the
love and perpetuity of our glorious institutions, |
now and forever.
With these views, your Electors most cordial
ly participate in that joy, which this day per
vades the minds of an overwhelming majority
of the people of the United States, at the elec
tion of Franklin Pierce, of New Hampshire, to
the Chief Magistracy of the country—and Wm
R. King, of Alabama, to the Vice-Presidency.

At a meeting of the Fiist Class of the U. S.
Corps of Cadets, held on the evening of Nov.
24th, 1852, the following resolutions were re
ported by Messrs. Wm. R. Boggs, Jas. B. Mc-
Pherson, Owen F. Soloman and Joshua W. Sti'l,
and unanimously adopted :
Whereas, the painful intelligence has been
communicated to us of the death of our classmate,
Hf.nhy T. Latham, of Geo., who departed this
life at his Home, in Campbleton, on the 14th inst.
Resolved, That the melancholy tidings which
have reached us, have thrown no ordinary shade
of gloom over the associations which has by this
decree of Providence, experienced an irreparable
loss.
Resolved, That this stroke has deprived as of
one to whom we were endeared by the sacred
ties of affection, and friendly intercourse; one
who possessed all those elements which seive as
the basis for everything that is estimable in man,
and who was well qualified to do honor to any
profession which he might have chosen. He
possessed a mind alive to over generous impulse.
He was remarkable for his modesty and correct
deportment, and in the quiet but steady dis
charge of his duties as a soldier and student, he
gained the good will of all and the enmity of
none.
Resolved, That while we rejoice that it was
his good fortune to experience the kind offices of
home, and receive the consolation of devoted
friends during his last moments, it is with the
deepest sorrow that we are called upon to mourn
his untimely loss.
Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt sym
pathy to his parentsand relations,whose expecta
tions in his behalf bid so fair to be realized, but
which by this sad affliction have been so pain
fully blasted—assuring them that in his course
as a Cadet there was nothing but what might
well call for an imitation.
Resolved, That we erect a suitable moument
to his memory as a testimonial of our respect and
esteem.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be
sent to the parents of the deceased—and that
they be published in one of the papers of his
native State.
West Point, N. Y., Nov. 29th, 1852.
Elkctorial Vote of Virginia.—The Presi- ■
dential electors for Virginia assembled at Rich- !
mond on Wednesday and threw the vote of the
State for Pierce and King. The democrats of
that city celebrated the event, in the evening,
by a torch-light procession and festival. R. L
Monrague, Esq., was appointed messenger to
convey the record to Washington.
Australian Gold at the Mint.—A few days
ago a deposit was made at the United States
mint, in Philadelphia, of gold from Australia
the first that has been received there. The Bul
letin states that the depositor was a young man
of this country, who had been in California for
two years, but was unlucky and made nothing.
Tempted by the reports from Australia, he sail
ed for that country and went to the diggings
In two months he succeeded, by great good luck
in getting about five thousand dollars’ worth of
the dust. The gold is superior in richness to
that from California, being worth about two
dollars more to the ounce.
|I he Caloric Sine.—The New York Journa
of Commerce understands that the wheel of the
caloric ship, building by Mr. Errickson, perform
ed its first revolution on Monday the 29th ult.
the motive power being nothing more than the
expansive force of compressed air unheated. No
fire was used in this instance, the elasticity of
the natural atmosphere being sufficient for the
desired purpose.

of the funeral ceremonies of the Duke of Wel
lington, and accounts ol the procession.
Most of the houses along the line of route
exhibited half-mast flags or other symptoms of
mourning. Temple Bar was completely en
veloped in drapery of black silken velvet,
with fringe of silver, and turned aside at the
top so as to display an under lining ot cloth
of gold. About 11 oclock, the head of the '
procession reached St. Paul's but it was past ;
1 P. M.. before the end came up. It is esti- i
mated that from 15,000 to 18,000 persons were
seated in the Cathedral.
The following letter is addressed “ Americus”
to the Daily News: Mr. Editor—Can it be
possible that the flag of the United States which
is to be seen in the trophy ornamenting the en
trance hall at Chelsea Hospita l , is the one which
was captured when the Brtish army burnt the
public buildings at Washington. If so, is it not
questionable taste to remind the visitors there of
an act which the Duke of Wellington always
characterized as unjustifiable Vandalism.
The Commercial treaty concluded between
Britain and the Sandwich Islands, 10th July,
ISSI, with the ratifications exchanged 6th May
last, has just been published. By this treaty
Vade is established in all axtiHitaL

are to have access to all the ports of the islands
for refitment and refreshment, but trading ves
sels are admitted only to the ports of Honolulu

:Austria.—The Ministerial Lithographic sheet
of Vienna examines at length the re-establish
ment of the Empire in France. The tone of the
article is quite friendly to Louis Napoleon--
Austria, it states, without repudiating the pr!n
ciple of legitimate succession, will not refuse to
accept the new Sovereign of France, who is
supported by the triple basis of popular election, |
imperial succession, and necessity.
Italy.—The United States frigate San Juan '
arrived on the 14th ult.,in the Gulf Spezzia, and ’
after taking in provisions put to sea, together i
with the Cumberland.
Signor Rufini, Director General of Roman po- :
lice, died Sth instant. Rossi, now at Ravonna,
will it is said, be appointed his successor with j,
the old title of Governor ot Rome. i
Spain.—lt is stated that General Olloqual has ,
resigned his command at Puerto 1 rincipie and j
that Brigadier Lopez Ballasteros has been ap- j
pointed in his place. There is now a rumor that j
General Canedo is to be superceded in the Goy- |
ernment of Cuba by General Count de Mirosol:
this however,is contradicted by the Espano.
Greece.—The Augsburg Gazette under date
Athens, 2d inst. says :
A courier has arrived here with important
despatches for the English embassador. It is a
a protocol relative to the succession of the throne
Greece, signed by the protecting powers.
The ministers wished to convoke the Chambers
immediately to submit the protocol to them, but
the Erwlish and Russian ambassadors declared
to them that it belonged to the protecting pow- I
ers alone to regulate the succession. I
Turkey.—The Vicreay of Egypt has forwarded |
to the Sultan a remittance on London for £3OO,- '
000 sterling. This seasonable contribution has |
removed all anxiety respecting repayment ol the I
loan.
New Steamer for Savannah River.—We
learn from a letter to a gentleman in this city
from Augusta, that the steamer Fashion, now
building in that place for the Savannah River
trade, will b ; launched about the 10th ot Janua
ry. She will commence running about the Ist
of February. She is not designed to be a fancy
boat, as her name would indicate. On the con
trary, every regard has been had to her capacity
for business and strength.
The Fashion will be 170 feet on the keel,
feet beam, 44 feet in the hole, awl ISO-feet
all. Her measurement will be 2lls tons, which
will enable her to carry about 2000 bales cotton.
When light, she will draw between 14 and 16
inches, with live cords of wood. She will have
only 8 state rooms, which it is believed will an
swer on all ordinary occasions. With 1000
bales, she will not diaw more than 36 inches
water. Distance between decks 16 feet. This
will save the necessity of storing in the hole,
and render the loading and discharging easy
work.
The owners of the Fashion are Mr. John A.
Moore and Capt. T. N. Philpot, of Augusta. Her
builder is Mr. Jas. McConnell, of Pittsbuig, who
built the Hancock, now running on this river,
and the Georgia, running on the Coosa. Her
engines were built at Pittsburg.
The Fashion will rim regularly between Au
gusta and this place. Mr. Moses A. Cohen will
be her agent here. We hope to see her at our
wharves soon.— Savannah Republican, Glh inst.
Further from the Br. barque John S. De
Wolfe.—We notice: 1 in our issue of Saturday,
the loss of this vessel. Captain Bradshaw has
since arrived in this city, from whom we have
obtained additional particulars. The vessel
went ashore Tuesday night, the 30th ult., on St.
Catherine’s Island, and with her cargo, consist
ing of iron, salt, &c., will prove a total loss.
Fortunately, all her passengers, (33 in number)
and crew were saved. She had been out 52 days
when she went ashore, having sailed from Liv
erpool the early part of October. The vessel
was partially and the cargo fully insured in Liv
erpool. She was a fine barque, of 539 tons bur
then. and built in St. Johns, N. 8., where she
was owned. The pas .engers and crew arrived
here Saturday by the Wm. Gaston.— lb.
Vessel Ashore.—We leainthat the schooner
Havana,from Satilla|River, bound to Charleston,
with a cargo of Rough Rice, went ashore on 1 y
bee beach near the Light House on Wednesday
last. She put into Tybee on account of head
winds, and in getting under way to go out again,
went ashore. At last accounts she was perfect
ly tight, and would no doubt be got ofl with but
little damage.—l 6.
The Hon. W. L. Marcy and son arrived here
yesterday in the steamer Oregon from Augusta.
We learn he is travelling on account of the health
of his son. He will go from here to Florida and
thence to Havaua.— lb.
B (From Harper’s Magazine, for December.)
f< strikes us that Dickens himself never wrote
L jnore “searching” satire than the following
» Jon the practice of Shading Human Grief, as
i tone could h-df or quarter mourn for a dear
I rieod “ gone hence, to be no more seen 1” The
i rtiele from which it is condensed was called
1 The House of Mourning, a Farce which ap
peared in an English magazine Inow discon
»ii>ued) some sixteen years since. It should be
premised, that “ Squire Hamper” and his wife,
persons rath»r of the rustic order, who have
up to London from the family seat in the
dountry, in the progress of shopping in a street
at the west end of the metropolis, stop at a dry
goods undertaker’s, with “ Maison de Deuil,” or
c House of Mourning,” byway of a sign over
‘the door.
“ Mason de Dool 1” exclaims the Squire, re
sponding to his wife’s translation ; “ some foreign
lisberdasher’s, I s’pose.”
The Indy, however, coaxes him to go in ; for,
! although she has lost no friends, she longs to see
the “ improvements in mourning,” which she
con do by “ cheapening a few articles, and buy
ing a pennyworth of black pins.” The worthy
pair enter, take an ebony chair at the counter,
while a clerk in a suit of sables addresses the
lady, and in sepulchral tones inquires it he “ can
hjWe the melancholy pleasure of serving her.”
* How deep would you choose to go, Ma’am ?
Do you wish to be very poignant ? We have a
'W extensive assortment of family and com
pliinentary mourning. Here is one, Ma’am, just
imjkirted ; a widow’s silk, watered, as you per
ceive, to match the sentiment. It is called the
‘ Inconsolable,’and is very much in vogue in
Paris for matrimonial bereavements.”
,“Looks rather flimsy, though,” interposes the
Squire ; “ not likely to last long, eh, Sir?”
" A little slight, pr’aps,” replies the shopman ;
Isr a delicate texture ; but mourning ought
last forever, Sir.”
o,” grumbles the Squire : “ it seldom does,
illy the violent sorts.”
“As to mourning, Ma’am,” continues the
shiftman, addressing the lady, “ there has been a
gieit deal, a very great deal indeed, this season ; '
ain|several new fabrics have been introduced,
to fteet the demand for fashionable tribulation, i
amfall in the French style ; they of France ex- i
celjn the funebre. Here, for instance, is an ar
i fcJfi for the deeply-afflicted ; a black crape, ex- i
prelsly adapted to the profound style of mourn
mg;»makes up very sombre and interesting. Or,
lif Jou prefer to mourn in velvet, here’s a very I
ricbone ; real Genoa, and a splendid black ; we I
j call it the ‘ Luxury of Woe? It’s only eighteen i
! shillings a yard, and a superb quality; fit, in I
the handsomest style of domestic calam-
I MTere the Squire wants to know “whether 1
sorrow gets more supeifine as it goes upward in <
: KT., 7)
life.”
i “ Certainly—yes, Sir—by all means,” responds
the clerk; “at least, a finer texture. The mourn
ing of poor people is very coarse, very; quite
different from that of persons of quality. Can
vass to crape, Sir.”
The lady next asks if he has a variety of half
raourning ; to which he replies :
“ O, infinite —the largest stock in town ; full,
and half, and quarter, and half-quarter mourning,
shaded off from a grief pronouce to the slightest
nuance of regret.”
The lady is directed to another counter, and
introduced to “the gent, who superintends the
liitermediate Sorrow Department;” who in
quires :
You wish to inspect some half-mourning,
Madam? the second stage of distress ? As such,
Mk'am allow me to recommend this satin—in
tended for grief when it has subsided ; alleviated,
you see, Ma’am, from a dead black to a dull lead
color. Its a Parisian novelty, Ma’am, called
‘ Settled Grief,’ and is very much worn by ladies
ofa certain age, who do not intend to embrace
Hymen a second time.”
“Old women, mayhap, about seventy,” mut
teu the Squire.
“Exactly so, Sir, or thereabout. Not but
wh*t some ladies, Ma’am, set in for sorrow much
earlier; indeed, in the prime of life; and for such
cases it is a very durable wear; but pr’aps it's
too tugubre: now here is another—not exactly
bluTfc, but shot with a warmish tint, to suit a
woe moderated by time. The French call it a
' Gteam of Comfort.’ We’ve sold several pieces
of-*-; it’s very attractive; we consider it the
happiest pattern of the season.”
■ Yes,” once more interposes the Squire;
“some people are very happy in it, no doubt.”
‘•No doubt, Sir. There's a.charm in melancho
ly, Sir. I’m fond of the pensive myself. Pr’aps,
Ala’am, you would prefer something still more in
thetransition state, as we call, from grave to
gay. In that case, I would recommend this la
verider Ducape, with only just a souvenir of sor
row in it; the slightest tinge of mourning, to dis
tinguish it from the garb of pleasure. But pos
sibtf you desire to see an appropriate style of
cnsjume for the juvenile branches, when soirow
their young days has shaded ? Os course, a mil
der degree ot mourning than for adults. Black
would be precocious. This Ma'am, for instance
—a dark pattern on gray; an interesting dress
Ma?am, for a little girl, just initiated in the vale
of tears, only eighteen-pence a yard, Ma’am, and
warranted to wash.”
The “Intermediate Sorrow Department,”
however, derives no patronage from the “ hard
customer;” and we next find her in the “ Coif
fure Department,” looking at caps, and interro
gating a show-woman in deep mourning, who is
in. attendance, and enlarging upon the beauty of
fabrics: “This is the newest style Ma'am.—
Affliction is very much modernized, and admits
of more gout than formerly. Some ladies, in
deed, for their morning grief wear rather a plain
-i-Mt*** Ixit for’(Wkming sorrow, this is not a’ all
Tbfvi Hce, Frenc taste has introduced very con
siderable alleviations.”
Failing, however, in “setting her caps'’ for the
new customer, the show-man “tries the hand
kerchief’ enticement; exhibiting one with a
fringe of artificial tears worked on the border—
the “Larmoyante,” a sweet pretty idea.
The Squire intimates that as a handkerchief
to used, it would most likely be found “rather
scrubby for the eyes.” But the show-woman
removes this objection :
“ 0 dear, no, Sir—if you mean wiping. The
wet style of grief is quite gone out—quite 1 —
Thu dry cry is decidedly the genteel thing.”
No wonder that the Squire, as he left the es
tablishment with his “ better half,” was fain to
exclaim:
“ Humph ! And so that’s a Mason de Dool!
Welt! if it’s all the same to you, Ma’am, l‘d
ratiSrdie in the country, and be universally la
mented after the old fashion.
{From the Savannah News, 41/i insl.]
The Central Road—The late Freshet.
We had a conversation with Mr. R. R. Cuy
| ler, the President of the Central Railroad, who
I returned last evening from the line of the road
I over which he has passed since the late disas
' trous freshet. We are pleased to learn from Mr.
I Cuyler that the earth work of the Central Road
sustained very little damage by the Hood, and
>tU>tjtbe bridges throughout the entire line were
r not injured. The principal damage of the road
was 6y the lifting of the track at various points
I and at various distances and throwing it out of
i line, in some places ten feet, in some twenty, and
;iu others as far as fifty feet. This floating of the
I track from its bed occurred chiefly in William
son’s Swamp, which is traversed by the road, a
distance of nearly thirty miles.
Under the directian of Mr. Millen, Superin
tendent of the Road, a force of some 400 men
were disposed at different points on this part of
the road, and the work of replacing and adjusting
the track was prosecuted with such vigor that
the entire repairs will be*completed during to
day. We understand that the passenger trains
will run regularly to-morrow from both ends of
the i-uad, and that the regular freighting business
I will be resumed on Wednesday—Monday and I
I Tuesday being necessary to dispose of all the !
i trains now on the road, in order to procure regu
' larity.
Our readers will be gratified to learn, that as
■ ter one of the most extensive disasters that has j
ever occurred to the Central Road, the interrup- j
| tiohofits business will not exceed ten days,
i This speedy repair of the damage is to be attri
buted to the extraordinary and well directed ex
! ertions of the officers and men connected with
I the road. Much praise is due to Mr. Millen, the
; able Superintendent, and to Mr. Whelden and
I Mr. Willey, Supervisors of the road, for their
' energy and superior management, as well as to
the employees of the Company, who have work
ed with untiring zeal and a due sense of their
obligations to the company and the public.
W» learn from Mr. Cuyler that the South
n P er - t%-Marshallville, thirty-six
JlfeSTsinre last Saturday sustained considera
bl| damage beyond Marshallville, but by the
prompt exertions of Mr. Reynolds, President,
and Mr. Adams, Superintendent of the road,
will be all repaired to-day. The Muscogee Road
sustained some injury, but is again in operation.
The Milledgeville Road was somewhat injured,
but'hasbeen running legularly since last Mon
day. The Eatonton Road, sustained very little
injury. The Waynesboro Road was injured at
various points, but is again in operation. The
Macon, and Western, and State Roads were not
injthe least degree affected. The Georgia Road
also escaped without injury.
Mi. Cuyler who, in the course ot his trip, pass
ed over the State Road to Chattanooga, speaks
in the highest terras of the condition of that
work.
Mr. Wadley has in the brief period of his
management brought the road in a condition to
compare with the best constructed and best
managed roads in the country. The change that
he has effected is truly surprising, and reflects
the greatest credit upon his talents and energy
in the management of the important work that
has been entrusted to his direction.
A Counterfeit.—We noticed, a few days
sinccthat there werejeounterfeit Bills of theSouth
Western Rail Road Bank in circulation. Yes
terday we were shown one for S2O, which, al
though calculated to deceive those who have
never seen the issues ot this Bank, is by no
means an imitation of the original, as it can easi
ly be detected from its having on the left hand a
large vignette of Washington, and in the centre
a vignette representing Ceres sitting on a plough
with J shea! of corn on her lap. It also contains
two ifaes, viz., “ The South Western Rail Road
Bankpromises to pay Twenty Dollars to the
Betirfr at Charleston, S. C- Nov. 1847. Charles
ten. S. C., Ist Dec., 1842.” Between the signa
tures, J. G. Holmes, Cashier, and J. Rose, Pre
sident, is a shipjin the original it is a’.rail road car.
The jagravers names in the counterfeit are
printed Toppan, Carpenter & Co., Philadelphia,
in thtioriginal they are Draper, Toppan, Long
acre & Co., Philadelphia and New York. The
has only four small vignettes, entirely
different from those on the counterfeit, and has
■ also a border attop and bottom with the words
twenty dollars repeated twelve times o» each,
i which the counterfeit has not. There are also
I many other points of dissimilarity between the
counterfeit and genuine, which however, it is,
we conceive, unnecssary to particularize, as we
i have said enough to put the public on their guard
; against receiving any.— Charleston Courier, 7th
i inst.
The Augusta Bridge. —The question of who
shall have, from South-Carolina, a new charter
tor the Bridge at Augusta,is now pending before
the Committees on Roads, Bridges and Ferries.
The City of Augusta applies for a renewal of the
old charter which was assigned to that city, and
Messrs. Jones & Kennedy contest their right, and
claim a charter for themselves. On Friday night
the Hon. A. J. Miller, President of the Senate,
of the State of Georgia, argued the case before
the Committee in behalf of Augusta, Messrs.
Bauskett and Carroll, both of Edgefield, appeared
for Jones It Kennedy. There is an anecdote
connected with Mr. Miller’s visit to Columbia,
which placed the very ready and efficient Speak
er of the House in a rather close corner. Upon
the appearance of Mr. Miller, Mr. Middleton im
mediately offered a|resoloution that he be invited
to take a seat on the floor of the House. The
Speaker ruled that, according .to amendment of
the rule requiring the Speaker to call for resolu
tions from the districts in alphabetical order, the
member could not offer the resolution until his
district was called. Mr. McCready moved to
suspend the rulS; but the Speaker decided that
this would require a day's notice. Mr. Hunt
thought that the matter might be got rid of very
easily, and that the Speaker, without any resolu
tion, might invite a distinguished stranger to a
seat. Meanwhile Genl. McGowan, of Abbe
ville seemed to beat something nobody could tell
what, but his district being immediately called
upon for resolutions, he just simplified the whole
matter by offering Mr. Middietton’s and thus the
Hon. Mr. Miller was invited to a seat. When
the complicated matter was fixed so easily," we
thought of Columbus and his egg.— Charleston
Standard.
Another Fatal Accident on the South-
Carolina Rail Road.—We understand that at
about six o’clock yesterday morning, the night
down Express Train came in collision with the
up Freight Train, a little below Woodstock
about fourteen miles from this city, in conse
quence, it is said, of the prevalence of a dense
fog at the time, and we regret to state that a Ger
man, a fireman attached to the Freight Engine,
was crushed to death. No one else, foitunately
was injured, the engineers and the other firemen
having jumped off at the momentjjot the collision
thereby saving their lives. Considerable dam
age was caused to one of engines, and two or
three freight cars, we learn, were broken up.
The road being blocked up yesterday in conse
quence of the accident, passengers had to shift
their baggage from one train to the other. The
detention, however, was but trival, and the road
will, we are informed, be quite clear this morn
ing, and no delay need be anticipated.— Char.

Augusta Market. —December 8.
COTTON.—Our market eponed on Wednesday
last with a good demand, and the sales made wore
at full prices—-sales about 2,200 bales, at prices
ranging from 8) to 9 3-16. On Thursday, the de
mand continued active, and the sales reached
about 1,300 bales, atBJ to 9J, showing an advance
of fully one-eighth on the prices of Tuesday. On
Friday morning, the market opened with the Eu
ropa's advices at hand, which caused such a differ
ence between the views of buyers and sellers, that
the transactions of the day did not reach over 400
bales, at a reduction, generally, of (th from the
prices paid the day previous. On Saturday, there
was a better demand, and some 8 to 900 bales
changed hands at 8J a 9 cents for Middling Fair.
On Monday, the market was quiet, and offers re
fused on Saturday were accepted,—sales about 500
bales. Yesterday (Tuesday,) there was some ir
regularity in prices, ranging from J to J cent from
our quotations below, but the general tone of the
market was downwards. The offering stock is
moderate, and the receipts not heavy. Some very
inferior Cottons have been sold during the week as
low as 7i cents, but not enough to warrant a quo
tation. It has been a general subject of re
mark with factors and dealers, that although the
quality of the crop is good, the proportion of fair
and fine grades is very small, these descriptions
having been scarce throughout the season so far.
The sales yesterday reach, no doubt, 6 to 700 bales.
We have, however, reports from only three ware
houses, and their sales were as follow : 2 at 8, 72 at
Bi, 52 atßj, 35 at BJ, 119 at BJ, and 59 at 9 cents
—in all 335 bales.
We give below quotations, but they may be con
sidered nominal, as the tendency of prices is down
wards.

CHARLESTON, Nov. 4.— Cotton.—Tho market
for several dnys prior to the date of our last report,
manifested a decidedly languid and drooping ap
pearance in consequence of the receipt of unfavo
rable advices from abroad, and tho week closed at a
range of figures } a |c. under those current at its
opening. Middling Fair and Fair, at the time,
wore valued at 9} a 9sc. The transactions during
the first two days of the current week were gather
limited, but so far as prices were concerned, the
market presented no new feature; holders, how
ever. subsequently manifested a good deal of anx
iety to realize, and the daily transactions show
ed a declining tendency in prices, which eventual
ly settled down in a decline of about }c. on the
qualities below Fair, the higher gradeshaving sus
tained their former position, owing to their scar
city. We have revised our quotations to corrcs
pond with this state of things, and would refer to
the prices below, which will give a true index of
the market at the close of business. The sales of
the week may bo estimated as follows, viz : Fnday,
1,233 bales; Saturday, 833 ; Monday, 1,513 ; Tues
day, 1,300; Wednesday, 805 ; and Thursday, 2,000
—making an aggregate of 7,744 bales at the sub
joined prices, viz : 70 bales at 8; 9 a 8£; 67 at 8}:

Good Ordinary, 8 a 8£; Middling to Good Middling,
8} a 9}; Middling Fair and Fair, 9} a 9g; and Lul
ly Fair and Choice, 9 J a—. There has been a good
demand for all descriptions this week, and the re
ceipts, which comprise 1.3,620 bales, have nearlj’
all been taken off the market. Soa Island Cottons
have been selling from 43 a 50c. and upward ; and

WHAT THE NOVA-BCOTIANS THINK.
[From, the Halifax Sept. 24, 1848.]
We have never had any great faith in ‘quack
medicines,’ as they are called; but at the same time,
we think it quite possible nAany of these contain
those healing properties, Xliich from their bunefi- j
cial influence On the constitution, have led to the
many published laudatory certificates in their be
half. Wc have now to speak of our own experi
ence. Last winter, for a length of time, wc suffer
cd from a heavy cold caught in the early part of
the season —our cough being violent and harrass
ing—and more from curiosity than any belief of its
virtues, we procured a bottle of Wistar’s Balsam
and wo are free to confess, that ere wo had swal
lowed its contents, in fitful doses as prescribed,
cough and cold had left us. As the Agent for the
Proprietor of this valuable medicine is now in this
City, we mention this fact in proof of its qualities,
that he may have our testimony, be the value of
it what it may, to add to that of others similarly
benefitted.

The most extraordinary discovery in the
World is the Great Arabian Remedy for Man and
Beast.—ll. G. Farrell’s Celebrated Arabian
Liniment.—The beautiful and fertile region skirt
ing the desert of Arabia, abounds with rare plants
and odorous woods, whence are procured those aro
matic gums and balsams of which this Liniment is
composed, and by whoso stimulating, unctuous and
penetrating properties it is, when applied, diffused
through the whole nervous system, allaying the
most intense pain in a few minutes. Try it, when
you will be convinced that no preparation possesses
in so high a degree, its perfect anodyne qualities.
Its action is prompt and effective. It penetrates
the flesh to the bone, relaxes contracted cords, re
storing use to limbs paralysed for years, and where
the flesh has wasted away, leaving nothing but
skin and bone, excites a healthy action, causing
now flesh to grow out and fill up the shrivelled
parts. It restores tho synovial fluid or joint water,
and this is tho reason why it has boon so success
ful in diseases of the joints. In affections of the
Spine, Liver, Lungs and Kidneys, this great reme
dy stands before any other ever produced. For
ague cake or enlargement of the spleen, it is a spe
cific. For any internal inflammation, you will find
it gives great relief It has no equal in the world
for Rheumatism—also, cramps, swelling, numbness,
weak joints. Rpinn and Chest., pains, wmmS* obit
blains, burns, sore throat, bites of insects and rep
tiles, salt rheum, warts, corns, mange, and indeed
nearly all diseases which require an external appli
cation, and many others are greatly benefitted by
it. It is used externally with success in goitre, or
swelled neck. Scrofula or King’s Evil, Liver Com
plaint, nervous diseases, &c. For Horses or Cattle,
it is as effectual as in diseases of man. Will cure
any case of Sweeney in existence; also, Spavin,
Splint, Ringbone, Big-head, Fistula, Farcy, Poll
Evil, Windgals, Sprains, Bruises, Ac.
Look out for Counterfoils. — Tho public arc cau
tioned against another counterfeit, which has late
ly made its appearance, called W. B. Farrell’s Ara
bian Liniment, tho most dangerous of all the coun
terfeits, because his having tho name of Farrell,
many will buy it in good faith, without the know
ledge that a counterfeit exists, and they will, per
haps, only discover their error when the spurious
mixture has wrought its evil effects.

OBITUARY.
Died, on Monday, tho 29th November, at So

Henry Talbot, youngest son of Col. W. 11. T.,
and Mrs. Mary T. Walker, aged 1G months and 26

’Tis.ever thus—
The lovely flowers that most we cherish here.
Round which our fond affections closely twine,
Are snatched away by unseen Angel’s hands
To be transplanted in tho world above.
Then weep not, ye. who gave him birth,
For God hath surely given
For thy bright lovely child on earth,
An Angel now in Heaven.
Yes I ho hasjoinod tho.ransomod band
In Heaven’s bright, eternal land,
And there upon that hallowed shore
Shall ye behold his face onco more.
Died, in Burke County, on tho 27th ultimo, Dr.
Richard B. Belt, aged thirty-one years. Tho
short term of mature life allotted to tho deceased,
was devoted to tho arduous, and eminently success
ful practice of tho medical profession, for which ho
had made, in youth, ample preparation. Ho attain
ed in the field of his usefulness, a professional po
sition, that precluded rivalry, and gave to his pro
fessional opinions tho weight of ultimate authority.
Nor was ho less estimable in tho social and domes
tic relations of life. Among tho worthy, acquaint
ance with him speedily ripened into friendship, al
ways yielding tho pleasant fruits of kind offices, and
neighborly acts. In bis vicinage, from being “ tho
good physician,” healing maladies “ that flesh is
heir to,” ho became tho preferred advisor in other
troubles, and tho frequent arbiter of personal dif
ferences. There, ho will be long remembered, ns
an early victim to tho faithful and unselfish dis
charge of his too exacting professional duties.
Into that narrower circle within which ho sustain
ed, filial and fraternal relations, to which his life
was a cheering light, and over which his death has
cast a gloom as sacred, us it is deep, we may not
enter. But to mourners, however connected, or
however agonised, wo may offer this consolation,
and to all l oaders, this impressive lesson— he died in
the calmness of pious resignation, in thetnumh of
Christinn Faith.
As tho tall (young tree of the forest, whereon
Time has loft no trace of decay, yearly extending
higher and wider its vigorous branches, spreading
out its green glories to adorn, and to shade its
mother-earth, falls beneath the axe of tho woods
man ; so this young man, of unblemished charac
ter, and fair promise, skilfully performing tho du
ties, and quietly dispensing tho charities of man’s
noblest secular calling, fell under the scourge, from
which ho hud boon permitted to rescue others, “ft
t’s the Lord, let him do what secmeth him good."

LAND FOR SALE. -
I WILL sell my LAND on Ray's Creek, con
taining 640 acres, more or less, about 140 acres
cleared, the balance in woodland It abounds m
Mineral Paint Ore of different colors, red, yellow
and slate ; and contiguous to water power there i
a vein of Tripoli or Pollishing ore on the land.
If these quaries of Paint were as near to Balti
more or New York as they are to Augusta, they
would bo worth 1,009 times more than they aro
here, and would bo sought after by the sellers at
tho South, and would bring as much in tho South
ern market as the Northern Paints do now. Would
that make these Paints any better by being placed
within five miles of New York ? Not a whit. It
is only in the name. Well, it is most time for
Southern people to begin to save something even
in tho wav of Paints they purchase. Tho time
is approaching when those Paints will bo valuable
Tho most common kind of Paints cost in New
York from 75 to 85 cents a hundred pounds, and
are sold iu the Augusta market at from 2 to 3 cents
a pound. These Paints of mine, can be bought of
my Agent, WILLIAM HAINES, in Augusta, for
1 cent a pound by the barrel.
Those persons who have tried tho Paints in
Charleston and Augusta, have pronounced them
good. Now, if Home industry has any meaning
rut tbo South, nuw Is
Quaries of Mineral Paints, with the
to manufacture them. Thousands of dollars can
bo saved every year to tho South, that are now sent
to New York and Ohio to purchase Paints. Or if
desired, I would sell tho Quaries of Mineral ora
and the Water power, to a purchaser who may
wish to embark in this business. There is now a
Mill on it. With some four or five hundred dol
lars tho Mill could bo repaired, and all the neces
sary apparatus could be placed there for grinding
the Paint ore. Tho water power could bo made
use of for anv turning purposes.
EjOr, I would sell the Dwelling and out Houses,
Orchard, and 20 acres of Land for a country resi
dence. Tho Dwelling contains 12 rooms, and Bof
them have fire places ; a good W ell of water iu tho
yard, which never fails. It is five miles from Au
gusta, and as healthy as any location on the «and
Hills, adjoining lands of Dr. James T. Barton, and
others.
Persons wishing to purchase, are directed to call
on William T. Gould, Esq., at Augusta, Georgia.
These living out of tho city can apply to him or
myself, by letter, living on the promises, postage
paid. Direct to Augusta. Ga.
