Offioial Vote of Virginia—An accurate Estimate.
The Richmond Enquirer states the official ma
jority for Pierce and King in Virginia to be 14,-
340, and in connection therewith publishes the
following remarkable fact :
It is a remarkable coincidence that last Oclo
ber we made an estimate, founded upon letters
from nearly every portion of the State, that the
majority iii Virginia would be fourteen thousand
three hundred and seventy-six —only varying
Shirty from the official majority. This fact shows
that our correspondents made most accurate cal
culations, and that we did not deceive our read
ers when we predicted that old Virginia would
give a rousing majority lor Pierce and King,
over whose election the whole country is now
;rejoicing.

I Interesting Revolutionary Reminiscences.
A few days before the adjournment of Con
gress, the telegraph announced to the public the
passage of a bill for the benefit of Major Wigg,
of South Carolina. Our readers, perhaps, like
ourselves, knew nothing of the circumstances
upon which the claim was based. If so, they
will find themselves interested in the following
extract from a communication which a North
ern lady, Miss Anne C. Lynch, has furnished to
the National Intelligencer. This lady was in the
House of Representatives, accompanied by a
member of Congress from the North, when a
motion was made to suspend the rules to “take
up a Senate bill for the relief of William H.
Wigg.” She writes:
I must confess this mere motion, so much, I
presume, within the routine of the ordinary bu
siness of the House, would not have attracted
my notice, but from the stir of activity which it
occasioned, and the extraordinary excitement
among a number of gentlemanly looking mem
bers, whom I observed were moving with busy
industry about the House, obviously canvassing
for votes to sustain the motion.
I asked my companion who these personages
were who seemed to manifest an interest so in
tense and excited I They are, said he, the
South Carolina delegation, among the most intel
ligent, modest, unpretending, and least asking
delegation on the floor. They are Representa
tives of a State that never appears here as a pe
titioner for the bounty of the Government. Her
prayer usually is to be let alone. Among the
ten thousand private claimants, South Carolina
does not present in a proportion more than one
in this number. * There are not three of her citi
zens occupying office at the seat of Government,
and her sons seem to be willing to rest at home
on the rich harvest of renown which her states
men have won, from the time of the elder Rut
ledge, to the more recent history of her Calhoun,
Chejves, Lowndes, McDutfee and Hayne.
Yes. I replied, I know something of the histo
ry of this wrong-headed yet noble State, which
struck so fatal a blow to some of the manufac
turing interests in my own section of the Union
in its insane and quixotic crusade in behalf Gs
free trade. But tell me something of the merits
of this ease, which seems engaged so
much of the ardent zeal of these gentlemen.
You must know then, he remarked, that this
is a Hew and striking case, growing out of the
law of hostage; the only one in the revolutiona
ry history of our country. Indeed I doubt wheth
er there is one bearing even a remote analogy ,
to it, for the sanction of which this could be quo- i
ted as a precedent. I regret that I have not a
copy of the report made to the Senate by the
Committee on Revolutionary Claims to give
you.|which contains a narrative of this deeply
interesting and pathetic episode in the revolu
tionary history of the country. But. as 1 have
gleaned them from the report, and from some ot
the members ot the South Carolina delegation,
I will give them to you as succinctly as possi- :
ble. I
In 1780, when South-Carolina was almost
overrun by the British and tories, and the safety
of Charleston was seriously menaced, Gov. Rut
ledge, who exercised as commander-in-chief dic
tatorial power, with a wisdom and justice never
surpassed, issued his proclamation calling on her
citizens to rally to the defence of their metropo
lis. At this invocation thousands of her sons
rushed to the rescue. But, after a gallant resis
tance, want and starvation compelled a capitu
lation. Among the prisoners was the grand
father of the petitioner, who at various times
during the struggle had served with gallantry
and distinction in the cause of his country, both
in South Carolina and at the siege of Savannah,
in Georgia.
The prisoners were placed on the parol, and
under the article of capitulation, whilst they ab- j
stained from any irilraction of its terms, their
property was to be exempt from injury or con
fiscation.
About this time the celebrated execution of
Major Andre took place, under the stern and in
flexible sense of justice ot Washington. Yes, 1
replied, a life so glorious, and an end so lamenta
ble ! I have often, in dwelling on the fate of
this gallant, amiable and accomplished spirit,
wished that the Father of our Country had yiel
ded to the tnercy which it was well known lived
in his manly bosom. It might have spared a
congenial sacrifice. But proceed.
As soon as the execution of Andre took place,
Lord Rawdon determined to execute the first
officer of his rank which the British made pris
oner. Under the capitulation of Charleston, the
gallant and unfortunate Hayne was a prisoner,
and was the selected victim ot retaliation. He
was the uncle of the Hayne who, as the champion
of the South in his memorable contest with your
Mr. Webster, acquired a renown little inferior
to that of his great antagonist.
It seems, when brought out of execution. Ma
jor Wiggs, the grandfather of the petitioner, stood j
at the foot o( his gallows, and indicated a grief he
could not conceal, and an indignation he could
not suppress. .
Poor Hayne met his fate with the heroism
which marked the conduct of Andre. Major
Wigg attended to receive his remains. Hayne
and himself, bosom friends, had married sisters.
Hayne’s execution created a great sensation, not,
only in South Carolina, but throughout the con
tinent—a young and beautiful widow in despair
a large circle of bereaved friends, and the glori
ous promise of one ol the finest men South Car
olina ever produced nipped in the bud.
Immediately aitert his Mood-thirsty execution,
Gen. Greene openly announced that the first
British officer of Hayne’s rank who was taken
prisoner should, in retaliation for the execution
of Hayne pa}' the forfeit of his life.
No sooner was this annunciation made than j
Col. Balfour, who commanded the Biitish forces j
in the occupation of Charleston, ordered forty of j
the most distinguished citizens of South Caro- j
lina, then prisoners of war under parol, into j
close confinement on board of the prison-ship j
sloop-of-war Pack Hone , and distinctly notified J
them that they were hostages, and that in case I
of the execution of one of his Majesty’s subjects,
or on the perpetration ol any acts of barbarity
towaids the Loyalists of South Carolina, they*
should swing. You may well suppose vvliat an
excitement this produced in that colony: nor
was the deep sympathy felt for the prisoners in
any degree diminished by the fact that in reply
to this threat they addressed a letter to Gen.
Greene, then commander-in-chief in South Car
olina. earnestly soliciting him not for one in
stant to pause in executing a just act of retalia
tion for the murder of Hayne, as they were pre
pared to meet their fate, and only regretted they
could not render a moie signal service in the
cause of their country.
In the then state ot public feeling in South
Carolina. Col. Balfour, probably apprehending
that the Pack Horse would be carried by a night
attack and the prisoners rescued, ordered her
round to New York. On her voyage, when off
Cape Fear, the prisoners rose, and, by an act of
valor unsurpassed in naval annals, captured the
Pack Horse, and carried her into Beaufort, North
Carolina, by which, in regaining their liberty,
they terminated their character and service as
hostages.
It was during his confinement that the estate
of the grandfather of the petitioner was devas
tated, who was regarded as a leading spirit
among the prisoners, and probably wrote the
letter to Gen. Greene, which, with his known
connexion with the deceased Hayne,marked him
as an object of vengeance. An expedition was
fitted out from Charleston, which sailed around
to the Oketty river, one of the streams ot the
| southern borders of that State, landed at the
plantation of the petitioner, abducted about one
j hundred of his slaves, seized his crop, cattle,
stock, and every species of moveable property
on the plantation, and what was not susceptible
of removal was wantonly destroyed. His slaves
were carried to St. Augustine, Florida, and in the
end were lost to the owner. In this expedition
Major Wiggs’ was the only plantation ravaged.
It is contended, not only on every principle of
justice, but by well recognized rules in the law
of nations applicable to hostage, the Govern
ment of the United States is bound to make a
compensation. The former explicitly predicts
that where an enemy in flagrante bello devas
tates the property of a hostage during the time
he is held as such, his country is bound to in
demnify him fully for his loss, as by their act he
was placed in such a situation as to be incapable
ol protecting it by his presence and exertions.
I should think this very clear, I replied that
tfie claim moreover, by public gratitude and eve
ry recollection connected with the honor and
glory of the country, is incontestible.
Yes, he replied, Major Wiggs was a hostage,
was declared such by Col. Balfour, and made so
by the threats and acts of his Government.—
Standing with a halter around his neck in nis
floating dungeon, he was disabled from protecting
his property. lam not familiar with the doc
trine of hostage, but you will doubtless hear it
most ably discussed by more than one gentle
man of the South Carolina delegation. It will
be a novel discussion, for I douut whether there
is another case in the whole history of the rev
olution where a hostage, whilst held as such, had
his property devastated.
We perceive that Mr. Bateman, father of the
highly celebrated Bateman children, who are
now performing with great success in New Or
leans, proposes to give a benefit to Mr. E. C
Wharton, of the editorial department of that ex
cellent journal, the New Orleans Picayune, as i
compliment to him for his preparation and adap
tationof the petite comedy of the “Young Cou
pie;” a piece in which the children have woi
their greatest success, both in this country am
in England. The plan of the “Young Couple’
was taken from one of Scribe’s plays, writtei
for the little Leontine Fay, but was so alterei

l Correspondence of the Washington Ncics-1
Paris, February 21, 1853.
Sir Charles Wood was last week called to ac
count in the British Parliament by Clanricarde,
of the Lords, and D’lsraeli, of the Commons
and subsequently made the amende honorable, for
having stated to the electors ot Halilax that
'the despotism of Napoleon 111 is harsher than
that of Napoleon I ; that the French press has
been silenced ; that no man in France can safe
ly speak his opinion ; that the influence of the
French government was exerted to muzzle the
press in Belgium; that the English press is free,
and that it is notin the power of Louis Napo
leon to gag it.”
The “ Times” and the “ Chronicle” condemn
in terms ot just indignation, as do the great
body of the yeomanry, whose sentiments they
so faithfully represent, as concerns the affairs of
France, thistory proceeding; while, perhaps, it
meets with the unqualified approbation, what
ever the manifestations to the contrary, of the
“nobility and gentry” of the realm, who are
incapable of admitting that they are imperfec
tions in the system of obligarchie rule. As au
tocracy extends its blighting influence, the
friends of liberty in our own country should be
reminded from day to day that it is a paramount
object with despots to stifle the freedom of
speech and of the press throughout the world.
It is not enough that they should cause dungeon
darkness to prevail in the nation over which
they tyrannize; they aim at extinguishing the
light of the entire political firmament. Let
the English people cower as the government,
to its eternal disgrace, has done, and America
would soon after be cited to appear at the court
of the Tuilleries, to show by what right she
dare to speak in other terms than those of ad
miration of the “ wonderful' ’ man who performs
all the thinking, speaking and acting for France.
How it would be at home among our aristocrats,
I do not know, but I am quite confident that
there is a score or more of persons abiding in
this metropolis claiming to be citizens of the
United States, who would in reality be proud of
the land from which they reluctantly hail, if the
summons were implicitly obeyed ! They would
glory, in my opinion, in the prostration of the
great bulwarks of our institutions, if, by such
event, they could be brought more fully and
more frequently in view of imperial smiles, or
secure the acceptance of an invitation of a mar
shal, a minister, or senator to one of their- din
ners or seirees. Os all the fawning to power on
earth, there is none more degrading, none more
loathed in upright circles, than that which is pal
pably demonstrated here by such of our country
men as come abroad to enjoy “ conseyuence .”
But. thank God, the democracy of the Union
—that democracy which has never yet erre l
without admitting and correcting its error—that
democracy which secured for us Louisiana, Tex
as, California—that democracy which, by its en
larged views, its bold, fearless, rapid march, has
shaped and is shaping destiny—will be full proot
against the poisond arrows which the full pur
ses and empty skulls of a portion of our popula- j
tion direct against our national fame. There is
absolutely a magic in its operations; crowned
heads stand constantly in awe ol it—delibera
ting whether to advance and hazard all by stri
king at it. or to recede and eventually fall under
the uncontrollable force of its example !
Can the most inflexible conservative believe
that we are advancing too rapidly when the
English press, which has been hitherto arrayed
against our international policy, holds up our
example in our intercourse with foreign gov
ernments as worthy of imitation by the British
ministry l The Chronicle, in animadverting
upon the double motion in Parliament with re
ference to the speech of Sir Charles Wood. and
the desire to gag Englishmen when they utter
opinions adverse to Louis Napoleon, remarks :
“In America the bull has already been taken
by the horns, and the United States have several
times intimated to foreign powers that the com
munications on international affairs which pass
between the President and Congress must be
looked upon as private and domestic transac
tions, for which the American government is j
not publicly answerable. We do not see why
the English ministry should not encounter simi
lar difficulty with similar frankness.”
Ardently as peace may be desired by a nation,
an attempt ought never to be' made to purchase
its preservation at the expense of independence.
England committed an egregious mistake, both
through the Russell and Derby ministry, in tak
ing any notice ol the articles ■which appeared in
the “ Times,” “ Chronicle,” and other newspa
papers adverse to the coup d'etat. She derogated
from her reputation for strength by displaying j
too earnest a wish to conciliate a usurper in the
worst (orm that ever one existed, and to sanctity j
crimes by tender expressions of good will for the
anther of them, at which, as a Christianity be
anything more than an empty profession, she
must inwardly have revolted.
The stand ot America at this moment, though
she may not be conscious of the fact, is at the
very head of the nations of the earth. From
the shores of the Pacific she is penetrating Chi
na as she has already penetrated Polynesia, j
Under her benign auspices it is not an unrea- j
sonable expectation that Christianity will be- j
come sooner or later the religion of state of the j
populous eastern empire: and that Japan' will j
be redeemed, and raised from its ignorant condi- ,
tion to a perception ofthe beauties of civilization. \
From the Atlantic coast a voice is heard ever
and anon, which causes the crushed in spirits to j
hope for deliverance from their rulers, while its
encouraging tones shape the minds ot the rising I
youth, preparing them for rational republican
institutions. There is not a potentate in continental j
Europe whose throne would stand thirty days in
the presence of su h freedom of the speech and of the.
press as is enjoyed in the United. States. All
monarchists are entirely convinced of this fact.
Occurrences demonstrate it most palpably from
hour to hour. There is a constant state of alarm
at courts that truth will find its way to the peo
ples, and demand revenge from them for the
enormities perpetrated upon it by remorseless |
rulers; and hence, persons suspected of writing
for publication in other States than those in .
which they abide are dragged from their beds at !
the dead hour of night to undergo the rigid trial
of a tribunal wholly dependent on the will of!
one man. But the end will come. M.
The Effocts of European War upon American
Commerce.
From a long and powerful speech made by
Mr. Cobden at a late peace meeting in Man
chester, which was attended by some six thou
sand persons, we take the following striking par
agraphs relative to the effects of a European war
upon Ammerican commerce. The position is
unquestionably a sound one :
Now, I have heard a great deal of trash talked,
and have seen a great deal more written, about
what is to be expected from the United States
of America, if we declare war with France.
Don’t deceive yourselves. America is not com
ing to put herself in alliance with the Anglo-
Saxon race to make war with France. [Cheers.]
If you go to war with France, I tell you what
the United States will do; the first thing they
will do, will be to assume a very bold attitude,
and require you instantly to abandon the right
of search which was claimed and exercised du
ring the last war, and was left an open question
even at the peace. Now, you will be obliged
instantly to renounce the right of visiting Ame
rican vessels. America will no longer allow
you, with her tonnage now nearly equal to your
own, to do what you did forty-five years ago
with impunity; and what will be the conse
quence? America will carry on the commerce
of Europe.
Do you think with your navigation laws re
pealed—now 1 invite merchants of Liverpool,
whose organs talk so glibly of war, to pay at
tention to what I say—do you suppose that,
with the navigation laws repealed, it there was
a war between France and England, and our
narrow seis swarm, as they will, with privateers
having letters of marque—many and many a
proud steamer built on the Atlantic shores com
ing over here with letters of marque to seize as
prizes your merchant vessels—do you suppose
that, under such circumstances, any body would
be such a fool as to send one ounce of freight
under the English flag? Would not the insu
rance be 20 or 30 per cent, more than the insu
rance of some American ship? And who in the
world do you think could carry on competition
in any commodities, if he had to pay 20 to 30
percent, more than those who brought their
goods in any foreign ship? What must be the
effect instantly of war ? Your ships must leave
your harbors and go and enter themselves and
and get registered either as American ships, or
Dutch ships, or Hamburgh ships, and be any
thing but English ships; then you may firing
your commodities here under same other flag;
and what will become of the shipwrights of
Liverpool, when all the English ships are gone
and no others building? They may follow them,
or they may go to the work-house. [Hear,
in mtj ■* v i
hear.]
That is what will follow a war; that is what
wi'V come of the “high hand,” and “pitching
into France.” as the saying is. (Laughter.]
And right well wouM the merchants of Liver
pool deserve such a state of things if they sanc
tion such a course of policy, or encourage that
tone ofthe press which invites provocation and
war of that kind. Though we have not thought
sufficiently of what a war would do for ourselves
have you ever considered what effect it would
have upon this district? this busy hive, which
subsists entirely upon the industry that is em
ployed upon the raw material brought from
abroad? It would be a very different thing to
throw the country into distress now, for the
want ofthe raw material to what it was some
sixty years ogo ; for our capital has increased
four or five fold, and our consumption of the raw
material has increased some eight or ten fold to
what it was in those days. Don’t listen to those
papers which talk about “pitching into” France,
and don’t delude yourselves with the idea that
the United States will ever come to the help of
the English in any war that may be carried on.
The Americans are too] shrewd to fight otlie
people’s battles; when you find them fighting
it will be for themselves. [Cheers and laugh

no interruption whatever has occurred on the

was in consequence ofthe stages from Augusta

her lively sketches over the signature of Fanny
Fern , is said to be Mrs. Eldridge, of Boston.
She is a widow, and is the sister of Nathaniel
Parker Willis.
Down with the Polka. —We expressed the
hope, a few weeks since, that the silly schottisch
and sipid polka were going out of fashion.. We
are glad to perceive that Mrs. Webster, in her
treatise upon the art of dancing, (published late
ly in London by Bogue, has a dislike to these
dances equal to our own:) —“That these dan
ces,” she observes, “have caused dancing to be
deprecate l is too true, but it has been dancing
in its most abused form; for that it can be abused
like any other most innocent or necessary act,
I, ol course, readily admit. And I would ask
those who abuse it, what enjoyment there can
be in rushing up and down a room, to the dan
ger of yourself and all you meet with? What
enjoyment can there be in being tightly clasped
in a gentleman’s arms, the lady’s chin projecting
over his shoulder? What pleasure in being
pushed backwards .and swung round till a palpi
tating heart and a fevered frame compel you to
sink exhausted to your seat ? This is one of the
abuses of dancing: another is its being so often
carried on in over-crowded and over-heated
rooms, to the manifest danger of serious and
even fatal consequences. The dancing I advo
cate is the impromptu quadrille of the family cir
cle, or on the green sward at the social fete chain
petreP Precisely. In another part of her little
work, Mrs. Webster says:—“lf it is objected that
dancing leads to frivolity and dissipation, I would
reply that, being in itself a natural, innocent and
commendable amusement, it must not be cen
sured because it is abused. What is there not
open to abuse ? What things are there not
abused? Do the most serious escape? ‘ Where
isthat temple wherein vile things sometimes in
trude not?’ Shall we leave off walking, talking,
eating, drinking, or meeting our fellow creatures
at all, because evil sometimes results from such
acts? I would humbly suggest another method;
let our pastors and teachers not emulate the her
mits of old, and seclude themselves from the
world, but let them watch over their docks even
in their amasements; their very presence will
serve to scare away the evils which cause such
amusements to be deprecated. Let no! the par
able of the prodigal son be forgotten, where dan
cing is spoken of as one of tne means used to
celebrate the return of the wanderer to his la
ther’s hearth.’'' This passage reminds us of a cu
rious custom which still prevails in some parts
of the country. The custom, namely, ot invi
ting the clergyman to a party, and putting off
dance till he has taken his denature, out of. re
spect of profession! It is a most absurd, and
even demoralizing custom, which is honored
mUy in the breach. Surely there cannot be, at
this enlightened day, a clergyman in the land,
who could look upon a party dancing a quadride,
with any feeling but those of gratification.
The United States Supreme Court, at its late
term, disposed of 85 cases out of 153 on the dock
et, which is now lower than lor many years.
The best evidence that can be adduced in (a
vor of the efficaciousness of Hoolland’s German
Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson is the
unprecedented demand for them from all parts of
the Union : and although there ma y be many
compounds prepared and represented as being
worthy of a liberal patronage, yet we feel con
strained to remark, that the vast number of tes
timonials with which the worthy doctor has
been honored, by persons of the highest charac
ter and respectability, who found it necessary
to have recourse to his preparation, is testimony
sufficiently conclusive, that a more effectual
remedy for the almost immediate relief of those
afflicted with that direful malady, dyspepsia, has
never been discovered.

OBITUARY.
Diod, at Elberton. Ga.. on the 23d ult., Wilt.iam
Brown, Sen., in tho 94th year of his age. Mr.
Brown was a Virginian by birth, and lived in tho
times, and participated in the conflict that tried
men's souls—tho Revolut ; onary struggle. In early
manhood ho emigrated to Georgia, and settled in
Elbort county, where he has resided up to his de
mise. Mr. Brown had attained an extreme ago,
and during his protracted life, he was known among
his fellow-citizens, as an honest, upright man, a
devoted Christian and member of the Methodist
church. He died, as he had lived, respected by all
who knew him, and emphatically without an ene
my. Every one acquainted with “ Old Billy
Broirn'’ recognised in him a man ahovo reproach,
and one who had rather receive an injury than in
flict it. Few more amiable and inoffensive ever
lived, probably none have ever died more univer
sally esteemed. ***
On tho 3rd of February. 1853, Mrs. Sarah 8.,
wife of Dr. William D. Tinsley, of Meriwether
county, Ga.. in her 55th year. Many years previ
ous to her death, slio embraced religion and joined
the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which she re
mained a faithful and consistent member until she
departed in peaco to join ‘ tho Church triumphant. '
In her last illness and in death, her faith was un
wavering. She conversed often, and comely of
her approaching end. giving indubitable evidence
of tho power of religion over tho terror of the
grave. Though she suffered great bodily pain,
still sho maintained a. holy meekness and Christian
resignation to the will of God, and seemed to eovert
the realization of that “ inheritance which is in
curuptible and fadeth not away.” In the death
of this estimable lady, her husband has parted with
an amiable and affectionate wife, her children a
a tender and devoted mother, and the church a
bright and shining light. J. H- M.
fP7~It is an erroneous idea that disease cannotbe
eured except by taking large quantities ot medicines
into the stomach, in a great many cases ot which
much injury isdone, although the disease in point
be actually cured. The coats of the stomach by
continued use of nauseating mixtures, frequently
become so much disordered that the digestive func
tion is seriously injured—the result of which is dys
pepsia, nervousness, taolics, alternate diarrhoea and
eostiveness, flatulence, nightmare, etc., etc.—
Would it not, therefore, bo very desirable to
possess a remedy, which being applied ex
ternally, would excite the absorbents to increased
notion, and thus carry off. through this medium,
the dolotorious principle which is the direct cause
of the discaso. Surely every thinking man will ad
mit that this would not only by the most pleasant,
but by far the safest means to effect the desired
end. The almost superhuman cures performed by
the Arabian physieians in the days of old were
mainly effected by this courso of treatment, and the
ingredients of which H. G. FARRELL’S CELE
BRATED ARABIAN LINAMENT is composed,
are extracted from raro plants peculiar to Arabia.
The great Linament (which is now to be had of
most respectablo druggists and merchants in every
town in*the United States) is daily effecting cures
which seemed beyond the power of medicine to
control—consumption, bronchitis and liver com
plaints in their first stages, nervous affections, in
digestion, enlargement of the spleen, scrofulous tu
mors, goitre, etc., etc., are frequently cured, and
always relieved by its use. It is unsurpassed as
an anodyne—relieving sevorc pains in a sow min
utes after its application, it soothes the irritatod
nervos, and produces that delightful tranquility so
grateful to tho norvous invalid. Sprains, bruises,
wounds, burns, sore throat, chilblains, rheuma
tisin, sun pain, etc., oto., arc speedily cured by it,
and for nearly all ailments in horses or cattle, re
quiring an external application, it is an effootual
remedy.
Look out for Counterfeits.— Tho publio are cau
tioned against anothor counterfeit, which has late

good deal of activity in the Cotton market just prior
to the date of our last publication, and tho week
closed with a decided firmness in prices, with mid
dling Fair valued at 9j a 10c. Tho market was
also well attended on Friday and Saturday—the
two first days of the week under review—and quite
an active business was done, particularly on the
former day, at corresponding prices. The demand
fell off materially on Monday, and the market was
rather heavy; it partially revived, however, on
Tuesday, and so far as prices were cencorned, sus
tained its former position. Thu demand again full
off on Wednesday, and tho transactions showed a
declining tendency in prices. Yesterday a mode
rately fair business was done, and the week closed
at about the prices current whon we mado up our
former report. We havo made no roferenco to the
advices received a few days since by the stoamer
Baltic, because they havo had no influence what
ever on our market, which has been effected solely
by the demand from day to day. The receipts of
the week comprise 10,581 bales, and the sales in
the same time may be estimated as follows, viz :

There has been a good inquiry for Long Cotton this

Tho demand, which has been limited, has been
confined to small parcels, principally Baltimore
brands, at the rates enrrent when wo made up our
former report, viz : $5) a ssl por bbl.
Bacon. —The market for all descriptions of this
article has been very much depressed throughout
the week. The supply, which was already large,
has been augmented by several arrivals sinco our
last report from New Orleans. Our quotations for

no demand from any quarter, and it sales wore

Our scini-woekiv report closed upon a good do
rnand, and wo had occasion to notice an advance in
prices, especially for oven-running lists of tho mid
dling and bettor grades. On Wedntsday tho do
mand was again very fair, and tho sales reached
about 11,000 bales, at rates fully sustaining tho
advanced figures of tho day previous. On Wod
nosday evening a lire broke out in tho Alabama
Press, which consumed a largo quantity of Cotton,
estimated at 15,000 to 20.000 bales, and in the
business of Thursday, which amounted to about
7.500 bales, there were some purchases made to
replaco parcels that wero destroyed by tho fire.—
Yesterday the Arabia's letters camo to hand, and
there'appeared to boa fair enquiry in our market,
but tho supply consisted mostly oftho lower grades,
and mixed lists, while the enquiry was principally
for oven-running parcels of tho hotter grades. The
sales wero about 8,000 bales ; making a total for
the f hreo days of 26.500 bales, and for the week of
58.500 bales, taken for Groat Britain, France, Spain
tho Continent and tho North. In prices there is
still a good deal of irregularity, butgenerally speak
ing the market may bo said to be quite firm, Bnd
tho sales of yesterday showed a further slight ad
vantage on the sideofsellers.
Tho roceipts at this port sinco Ist September,
(exclusive of the arrivals from Mohilo. Florida and
Texas) arc 1.291,481 bales, against 915 283 bales

To my old Patrons and Friends.
As thero has beon sonio complaint of my Gins,
mado during the last tfco yoars : an explanation to
you in relation to this matter is duo Mr. Cheely.
I havo been absont a groat portion of this time,
on a visit to tho North, experimenting and getting
up a new Gin, as well as improving, tho original
Saw Gin, together with suitable machinery for this
business, to its highest perfection, ns will bo ac
knowledged by all who havo used them, both in
durability and quality of Cotton.
I shall now dovote my individual attention in
tho shop, and soo that every part of each Gin is put
up in the neatest possible manner : in short, I shall
makotho ordinal Oglesby Gin, which has hoon so
celebrated for durability and fine Cotton, having
taken the premium in this State as woll as that of
South Carolina in every instance except pno, and
then it was said by foreign dealers that my Cotton
was of a superrior quality. In conclusion, my late
improvements added to my former Gins, cannot fail
to give entiro satisfaction. I will alter any old
Gins, (not too much worn,) to do better work than
it ever did before.
Yours, most respectfully,

At the German Medicine Store, 120 Arch Street, Phil
adelphia. Their power over the above diseases is not
excelled —if equalled—by any other preparation in the
United States, as the cures attest, in many cases after
skilful physicians had failed.
These Bitters are worthy the attention of invalids
Possessing great virtues in the rectification of diseases
of the Liver and lesser glands, exercising the most
searching powers in weaknessand affections ol the di
gestive organs, they are withal, saie, certain, and plea
sant.
READ AND BE CONVINCED.
From the ‘ Boston Bee ”
The editor said, Dec. 22d,
Dr. Hoofland’s Chlbbuatkd Gbkmax Bittbrs for
the cure of Liver Complaint, Jaundice, Dyspepsia,
Chronic or Nervous Debility, is deservedly one of the
most popular medicines Qf the day. These Bitters
have been used by thousands, and a friend at our elbow
says he has himself received an effectual and perma
nent cure of the Liver Complaint from the use of this
remedy. We are convinced that, in the use of these
Bitters, the patient constantly gains strenth and vigor
—a fact worthy of consideration. They are pleasant in
taste, and smell, and can be used by persons with the
most delicate stomachs with safety, under any circum
stances. We are speaking from experience, and to the
afflicted we advise their use.
“Scott's Weekly,” one of the best Literary papers
published, said, August 25
"Dr. Hoofland's German Bitters, manufactured by
Dr. Jackson, aro 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
bottle, and thus save themselves much sickness. Per
sons of debilitated constitutions w ill find these Bitters
advantageous to their health, as we know from expe
rience the salutary effect they have upon week sys
tems.”
MORE EVIDENCE.
The Hon. C. D. Hinellue, Mayor of the city of Cam
den, N. J.. says:
'•Hoofland's German Bitters ,—We have seen many
flattering notices of this medicine, and the source from
which they came induced us to mako inquiry respecting
its merits. From inquiry we were persuuded to uso it,
nd 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 prostration is
really surprising. It calms and strengthens the nerves,
biinging them into a state of repose, making sleep re
freshing.
“If this medicine was more generally used, we are
satisfied there would ho less sickness, as from the
stomach, liver, and nervous system the great majority
of real and imaginary diseases emanate. Have them in
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 should, in
fact, be in every family. No other medicine can pro
duce such evidences of merit.”
Evidence upon evidence, like the foregoing, from all
sections of the Union the last three years, and the
strongest testimony in its favor, is, that there is more
of it used in the practice of the regular Physicians of
Philadelphia, than all other nostrums combined, a fact
that can be easily established, and fully proving- that a
scientific preparation will meet with their quiet appro
val when presented even iu this form
That this medicine will cure Liver Complaint and
Dyspepsia, no one can doubt after using it as directed.
It acts specifically upon the stomach and Llvor; it is
preferable to calomel in all billiouH di eases—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 Os THE QBXUINB.
They have the written signature of C. M. JACKSON
upon the wrappor, and his name blown in the bottle,
without which they are spurious.
