The Proposed Liquor Law.
We publish to-day, an .editorial under the
above head, from the Albany Patriot, in reply to
some points made by a correspondent of that
paper. It places in its true light the question
ot the absolute rights of majorities, and the ex
tent of their power over minorities. It correct
ly sets forth the fact that there are limits to the
proper authority even ot majorities It enforces
the proposition that the proper objects of govern
ment and the great utility of written Constitu
tions are to protect the weak—to shield minori
ties from the encroachments of majorities, who,
in the consciousness o( their power, are too apt
to be forgetlul of right.
For the decrease of the evils of drunkeness, we
feel as warm an interest and desire as most citi
zens. We are prepared to sympathize and co
operate with all just efforts to suppress excesse s
olthat deplorable character. But we are well
convinced that the present movement against
the retail liquor traffiic carries within itself the
elements of its own defeat. If successful in ob
taining from the Legislature the law it seeks, it
will be after a struggle in which will have been
provoked the wildest excesses of intemperance-
It any decrease in the amount of liquor
consumed be temporarily accomplished, of which
we have our doubts, the reaction that will fol- '
low will more than counteract that temporary :
improvement. It will be found at last that it is '
an evil to be reached through the voluntary
judgments, and pride, and consciences of those i
who are aimed at as the objects of reform. Those
who are with this movement we are charitably :
to presume, are all reformed already. They need
not the law for their own redemption. We
kngw that men of the highest character, the
purest piety and the noblest benevolence are en- !
gaged in this work. We respect their motives.
But we believe their example and their exhor
tations can do more, without the aid of the le
gislative arm. The effort to invoke it, is pre
judicing a good cause—temperance reform.
We have received many letters approving our
views, and a number of new subscribers on ac
count of them. We have gained more than we
have lost on this score. We have not before (
spoken of this result. The result either way
would have no influence upon ory course. But
of the operation of this discussion
ftmong some that are tcmpei'Me we avail ■
z ourself of the occasion to publish the following >

K Geological Curiosity.— We learn from
tbelCissouri Republican of the Bth inst., that j
in penetrating a ledge of limestone rock on the :
line of the Pacific railroad, stones of a singular
iormatio I may be found. They are large globes
or bails, cosstituted of sevsral layers and quite •
ponderous. The Republican has one of them .
in ite office, which is about ten inches in diame
ter. and almost as round as a cannon ball. .The i
subjoined sote from Dr- Schiel, a student of the
celebrated Professor Liebig of Germany, and for
several vears a Professor in one of the principal ;
German literary institutions, gives an explana- j
tion of the matter. Perhaps, however, Proses- ;
sor Agassiz may be able to throw some further :
light on the subject. Dr. Schlat's note is ad- ?
dressed to Mr. Copp, the Secretary of tire Pa- !
cific Rail Road Company, and is as follows :
Sm ■— The large balls found on the Pacific
Railroad, and resembling very much a petrified
melon, do not resemble any petrifaction what
ever, but consist of concentric rings of silex
and lime. The outer ring of the ball of wbieh
'< had an inspection in your office, consists
c biefly of a siliciate of lime and some carbonate
ot lime, and so do very likely the inner layers,
the whole bearing unequivocally the effects of
a higL temperature. No reliable opinion as to
the oi igin of these balls can be formed with

The Proposed Liquor Law.
W>> publish to-day a communication which
purports to be a reply to an article in our paper
of the 4th inst, on the subject of the proposed
Liquor Law tor Georgia.
When we took our position relative to the
law proposed by the Atlanta Convention, we
did it with due deliberation, and as we then sta
ted. in view of the consequences to ourself and to
others. We knew that our position would be
misrepresented and that we should be maligned
and traduced as the advocates of intemperance.
We are not surprised therefore, that we are re
presented by some as having declared war
" against every effort to restrict by legal enact
ment the evils of intemperance.
But we do not intend that the advocates of
the law proposed by the Atlanta Convention
shall either place us in a false position, or snail
themselves assume a false position to carry on
their designs. _ * „
The proposition of the Atlanta Convention, as
1 embodied in the resolutions and the memorial.
I is. when stripped ot all disguise, that the ,eg
-1 islature shall pass a law-authorizing a majori
! ty of the voters in each county or militia district
to give it effect—" to extirpate tl.e retail traffic
however it may be disguised by ordaining ma i
NO TRAFFIC IN SPIRITUOUS LIQUORS SHALL in
A ’i'.e7 our opponents who respect truth, and
I would not willingly misrepresent us.bear in mind
1 that of this p osition, we said, al,d "
| repeat—" We shall oppose the ‘
; Law—not because we are insensible to the fait that
' many era's arise from use of ardent spuits-but. In-
I cause we would resist the introduction of a pt maple
I in the Government of Georgia which strikes at the
■ root of all Constitutional liberty, or the principle of
' protection to minorities, and because it is a practical
! application of a most odious tyranny.
Now we might answer all the objections and
■ querries of our correspondent by saving that he
has misapprehended or perverted what we said.
I and that his arguments do not tit the case,
i We have never he'd or expressed an opinion
| that "the minority ought to succumb to the mi
| nonV or that "in civil Governments the 'mi
i nority,” whether "respectable” or not, ‘ought to
I ruL'.
We state that the “principle” involved in the
i proposed law- "strikes at the root of all constitu
: tional liberty, or the principle of protection to
| minorities ”
Uncontrolled majorities are the most despotic
i of all governments. The object, the very essence,
and the whole virtue of a Constitution. is the
1 protection of minorities against the unbridled
will of majorities. The theory ot constitutional
governments is that the rights of every individ
; ual without regard to his respectability ■is safe
against the encroachment of numbers.
' 'The* true' province ot'CJovrrnnienf is, the pre
tection of each citizen in all those natural rights
which may be exercised without interference
with the rights of others, and the punishment ot
those who so abuse those rights as to interfere
with the rights of others.
To illustrate, suppose that our correspondent
is in the habit of drinking wine—as a sacra
i ment in the Church; it is his right to do so, and he
pleads the example and authority ot Christ. But
if he should abuse that privilege, become drunk
en and trespasses upon the rights ot others, he
would incur the penalty of the law which was
framed for the protection of all. Would the
abuse, in such a case, authorize a majority of the
community to prevent the use of wine in
churches? Another uses wine in his family
both as a beverage{and as a medicine. He pleads
the authority of the Apostle Paul, where he re
commends a Christian brother to " take a little
wine for his stomach's sake.” Another who
takes something stronger, quotes from the Old
Testament " let the poor man drink and forget
his sorrows.”
Now we say. according to the true theory of
our Government—according to the principles of
Constitutional liberty—that these three cases,
and the classes of men which they represent,
should, and do. stand upon the same character of
individual right; that they should be equally
protected in the enjoyment of those rights, and
equally punished in the abuse of them. And
if the abuse of a right will properly authorize
the majority to deprive the community of the
use of it. then no individual rights are secure
It is proper that all nuisances, whether in the
shape of gambling shops or grogshops or any oth
er class of shops should he abated, because that
is necessary to protect the rights of others. We
have favored such laws; our statute books con
tain them. But we have never, on account of
these abuses favored a law to prohibit the use
of shops or cards or wines or other liquors
Would it not be as well—it is certainly in accor
dance with the principle of the Atlanta Liquor
Law advocates—to go to the foundation of the
matter and extirpate the first causes ot the evils
comp’ained of. If the building of houses were
prohibitedjthev could not be converted into liquor
shops and gambling houses; if pasje-board were
prohibited it could not be made into cardsand
used for gambling; it grapes, corn, and other grains
were prohibited, they could not be made into
strong drinks, so that it would effectually "ex
tirpate the retail traffic.” This would be anoth
er “effectual way” to “break up the groggeries.”
And this would be constitutional, according to
the principle contended for, if the vote of the
majority- of any county or militia district should
so decide.
If our correspondent is serious in quoting the
2d chapter of Corinthians, 2d and 6th verses to !
prove that “ the Bible recognizes the principle
that the majority shall govern.” it is only neces- ;
sary to refer to the sth and 7th verses to show
that the subject quoted has no reference to j
government, and to the 17th verse tor our an- ;
swer.
It is a well established principle of Republi
can Governments that the majority shall rule j
according to the Constitution or those principles
of justice which protect the rights of the minori
ty against the attacks of the majority. Mob
law is an example of government without re
gard to constitutional principles. A single offi
cer rescuing a citizen, who is perhaps destitute
of “ respectability” from an infuriated mob and
giving him a fair trial before a court and jury of
his country where the most “respectable” citi
zen would have to appear for the same offence,
is an example of government according to prin
ciples of Constitutional liiberty. We hope the
rule will be clear to our correspondent that the
“majority ought to submit” to govern without
trampling on the rights of the minority.
Is not our correspondent aware that "colored
persons” are not citizens ? and that laws which
may be properly applicable to them or to other
property may be wholly inconsistent with the
rights of citizens ? This is too clear to require
illustration.
It will be seen that our correspondent places
Tea, Coffee, and Tobacco in the list with Alco
hol as les* evils, and he asks—" Do you assume
that one evil is not to be arrested unless we can
simultaneously arrest every other evil ?”
Every violation of the rights of others—the
only evils properly recognized by the law of Re
publican governments—ought to be punished
and prohibited.
The abuse of a privilege by one who interferes
with the rights of his neighbor, is good cause for
punishing that abuse, but it is not a good reason
for depriving other citizens of the use o f that pri
vilege. A contrary principle obtains in despotic
Go .’ernments.where every business,every move
ment, every word, either wiitten or spoken, is
supervised by law, and may be controlled by
the Government. The proposed liquor law
recognizes this principle and constitutes a des
potism of the majority instead of one man.
Our correspondent does not seem to under
stand the distinction between the two great
classes of evils, viz : those which interlere with
the rights of others and for which men are ac
countable to society ; and those which arej the
result of the freedom of imperfect men, and ,
which may be termed crimes against themselves
and against the law of God. The law of human
restraints, or punishment for self protection, is
applicable in the one class of evils; whilst the
law of Reason and Love—a power greater than
hitman laws or human penalties —is alone ap
plicable to the other.
Lev this distinction be applied in regulating
the traffic ;n liquors. We will go as far as
any one to correcb abuses which are properly
cognizable by human laws, but we wdl not. be
yond this be instrumental in applying force to
the sanctuary of human liberty ; nor *h»IJ we
make a sacriligioua attempt to rival Omnipcr
fence by the draft of a law that shall at once
shield us from every evil ■ nor yet shall we be
come the advocates of licentiousness, or favor the
abrogation of laws which are proper for the pro
tection of society.
We shad give our opponents a fair hearing,
through our paper, as we have always done on
every important qu-stion. We can listen pa
tiently to reason ; but we are not to be moved
I by threats or intimidation. We would despise
popularity or place, gained by indirection or the
sacrifice of integrity.
English Fillibustbring. —A London jour
nal, referring to the late Fillibustering annexa
tion ot Pegu to the British territory of Eastern
India, compliments Lord Dalhousie on the vig
orous manner in which he conquered the prov
ince, and made English property of it. The
editor refers to the matter in the following para
graph, which is a specimen of the most consu
me t.e coolness we have ever been amused withal.
‘ We yesterday announced the important fact
received in anticipation of the overland mail
—that Lord Dalhousie had annexed the prov
ince of Pegu to the British territory of Eastern
India. Conquest affords a legal title, and we
have at all events conquered Pegu. The war in
which we have made the conquest, was, to be
sure, all about some £9O, of which a merchant
skipper had been wronged—an affair constitu
ting its hero a sort of Burmese Don Pacifico.—

The Philadelphia Female Massacre.— A hear
ing in the recent shocking murder case took
place this afternoon at the County prison, be
fore Aiderman Isard —Joseph Doran appearing
as counsel for the prisoner, Arthur Spring, and
Aaron Thompson as counsel for young Spring.
The most important evidence was that submit
ted by young Spring, a lad of 17 years, and son
of the accused. The sheath ot the dirk found
under the body of Mrs. Lynch was identified
by the boy as the dirk formerly belonged to
himself, and was taken from him by his father.
The lead pipe was also identified as haying beep
taken from the tavern where they boarded.
On the night of the murder Spring came home
about If o’clock, and was let in the back door
by his son. His father gave him several gold
pieces to hide, and he gave them back to him.
His father then told him that he had murdered
two bitches and set fire to the house, and burnt
the ends ot his fingers in doing so. He also
brought water for his father, and he washed
some blood Irom his shirt.
Young Spring further testified that his father
gave him, next morning, a 310 gold piece, with
which the son bought three shirts for his father
and himself, and, with the $5 change received,
paid for their board at the tavern, which was
the only cash received from them while living
there.
In cross examination the prisoner’s counsel put
questions, instructed by his client, which showed
that the father was endeavoring to screen him
self by charging his son and a still younger boy,
named Finney, with the murders. Young
Spring behaved with much feeling and proprie
ty, but at one time was so overcome as to al
most faint. He was affected to tears by the
questions put by his father’s counsel.
The prisonei was fully committed for trial,
and the case will go before the grand jury to
morrow.
The son’s evidence was confirmed by the
burns on his father’s fingers.

utmost enthusiasm prevailed, and a series of
resolutions were adopted in favor of the prohi

curing prohibitory law men as representatives
without regard to party.

Extra Session of the United States Senate. |
Washington, March 14, 1853.
The President of the Senate laid before the
body a communication from the Postmaster gen
eral in relation to the contract for carrying the
mails from Vera Cruz to San 1' rancisco.
Several petitions were presented, when the
Senate resumed the consideration of the resolu
tion heretofore submitted by Mr. Clayton, call
ing upon the President of the United States lor
copies of certain papers relating to the Clayton
and Buiwer treaty.
Mr. Mason replied to the remarks of Mr. Clay
ton, controverting the declaration of the last
named gentleman, that the Balize is in Mexico,
in the stnto of Vucatan, »nd insisting that tbe
British settlements are in Central America. He
further said, towards the conclusion ot his re
marks, that British aggressions on this Conti
nent have gone far enough.
Mr. Clayton replied, saying that Honduras
itself does not claim the Balize; and further de
fended his course in making the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty.
Without concluding, he gave way for a motion
to go into an executive session.
After remaining a short time therein, the Sen
ate adjourned.
Washington, March 15, 1853.
After an Executive Session of nearly two
hours, the doors were opened, and Mr. Clayton
concluded his remarks relative to, and in vin
dication of the treaty which he, as Secretary of
State, negotiated with Mr. Bulwer, relative to
Central America.
Mr. Douglas obtained the floor, when
The Senate aejourned.
Washington, March 16, 1853. |
On motion of Mr. Adams, it was resolved that
the Senate will to-morrow, at 1 o’clock, proceed
to the election of secretary, sergeant-at arms and
doorkeeper.
The Senate then resumed the consideration of
the resolution calling upon the President lor cer
tain papers in connection with the Clayton and
Bulwer treaty.
Mr. Douglas replied to Mr. Clayton, charging
him with having suppressed the Hise treaty,
which proposed to give the United States the
exclusive right of way for a ship canal, and by
negotiating the treaty with|Mr. Bulwer, hail in
vited Great Britian to interfere with affairs of
Central America, thus abolishing the Monroe
doctrine. Beside, the Senator from Deleware,
he insisted, had not by this treaty, secured the
right of way for a ship canal. In further expla
nation of his remarks on a former occasion, he
said that we should not bind ourselves by treaty
to fix limits to our country, when, if our coun
try's growth requires it, we will overleap the
barriers.
Mr. Butler dissented from some of the re
marks which Mr. Douglas had made with re
gard to the duties of the Senate relative to trea- j
ties, and dissented from the discussion ot ques
tions, in open Senate, which might affect un- i
favorably our treaty stipulations with other
countries.
Mr. Douglas briefly responded.
Mr. Clayton replied to Mr. Douglas, defend
ing his negotiation of the Clayton and Bulwer
treatv. As to the rieht ot wav. if it is ever ob-
treaty. as to tne ngnt oi way, nii is evei ou
tained. it will be in conseqvence of tins treaty.
If he had abolished the Monroe doctrine he had
done more than he ever expected he was capa
ble of accomplishing.
The debate was continued from twelve to
half past two o’clock, and after an executive
session the Senate adjourned.
Washington, March 15.
Ratification of the English and American Claims
Treaty—Presidential Nominations, Sfc. — The Sen
ate was in executive session for an hoar and a
half to-day, and ratified the treaty negociated by
Messrs. Erwiettand Crampton lor the speedy irw.
damnification of American claims against the
English government, and of English claims
against the American government, particularly
covering the claims arising out of false seizures
under the slave trade treaty, under cßstom-house
regulations.
The President sent to the Senate, this morning
a large number of nominations—among them
that of Charles Gordon Greene, editor of the Bos
ton Post, for Naval Officerat Boston; Charles H.
Peaslee, for Collector of Boston; Henry W.
Bishop, as Sub-Treasurer at Boston; also, ap
pointments for Postmaster and Marshal of Bos
ton, which, together with several appointments
for California, it is understood were confirmed.
There were also sent in the nominations ot
Rufus Parks as Collector of Cleveland; General
Lane as Governor of Oregon, and the Territorial
officers for Oregon generally. Also various
postmasters, custom house officers, &c. Most of
the nominations, however, were not read or even
opened. All are to be acted on soon, perhaps
to-morrow.
The President also nominated, and the Senate
confirmed Thompson Campbell, of Illinois; Geo.
W. Thompson, of Virginia; and Alpheus Felch,
ex-Senator of Michigan, as commissioners to
settle land titles in California.
About thirty clerks in the Treasury Depart
ment were removed yesterday.
No nominations have yet been made for this
district.
I am told that Ex-Governor P. F. Thomas
has left for home, well satisfied that he has been
appointed Collector of the Port of Baltimore.

Santa Anna at Oarthagona.
We translate from the Cotirrier des F.tats Unis
the following interesting letter on the life of the
Mexican dictator in his retreat in New Grana
da :
“ Being at Carthage na, I made a point of ob
taining an Opportunity to see the former Presi
dent of Mfexico, the celebrated Gen. Antonio
Lopez de Sjnta Anna. Since he quitted Jamaica,
two years ago, he has been living about six
leagues Iron Carthagena, at a place called Tur
baco, nea r the canal connecting Carthagena with
the ri' t *l Madeleine —a canal which the stupi-
government leaves in
such uftd repair that it is of no use, and the
whole commerce of the interior of the country
has bq.tn retried to Santa Martha, nearer the
mouth ot the river.
“ We rale on horseback to Turbaco. Although
introduced to this fallen celebrity by an English
man. of distinction, for whom the Mexican gene
ral profesed to cherish great considerations, 1
could not avoid some feeling of distrust in regard
to my reception, as I had something to reproach
myself With on his account.
“At the taking of the Tuilleries, in 1848, I
collected the trophies which the Prince de Join
ville bore away from St. d’Ulloa, and in my re
ports I spoke in quite irreverent terms of the
vanquisted. Happily, nothing ol this had trans
pired, asd I was far from turning the conversa
tion on this point. During the thirty-six hours
which ye passed with Santa Anna there is no
kind of civilities which were not lavished upon
us by tie whole family. His second wife is
still younj, and his daughter by a former mar
riage is very agreeable. Although he was beat-
I en by us, before serving as a pedestal, by bis de
feats, for the glory of the American generals, he
retains no unpleasant feeling towards France,
to whiSHie may ascribe even the loss of his
limb. His whole hatred is concentrated upon
the United States.
"His mode of life is calm and uniform. He
doesnot even make any change for visitors in
his established rules. In the morning, after ta
king coffee, he mounts his horse and rides for a ,
couple of hours. On his return he takes a bath.
Break fast is served at ten. At noon the rich
capitalistgoes into his cabinet, and, like a ban- i
ker or broker with us, receives the men of busi- I
ness who may wish to have transactions with 1
him. Well posted-up in this department of fl- 1
nance, it is said that, like my uncle Matthew, he j
has carried the science of calculation to such an |
extent, that he can tell what a crown will t
amount to in a quarter of an hour. In a word,
he has greatly improved his circumstances by <
this commerce. s
"After the indispensable siesta, five times a t
week, the trainers of game-cocks, who are very i
numeious in this province, come with victims. 1
The pit is opened. Santa Anna occupies the 1
place of honor in the midst of his aviary, which c
is rich in a most beautiful collection of the biped
gladiators. Considerable stakes are laid on each g
round. But it seems that generally the pride of ,
the feather leads the lord governor to take bad
bets. Thus, it is said, the greater part of the
profits of his usury is given back to the chances 1
of the Spur. It is certain that he has much a
; pleasure,forjds money, and he is rich enough to
I pay fi>f r an* glory. To one not accustomed to
these spictacles, they appear no less dismal than
disgusting: but one no doubt gets use to them, for
it is only Europeans, on their first arrival, who
find fault with these popular diversions.
“ Before dining at 6 o’clock, the General takes
another bath. He dresses in full military uni
form when he has guests to whom he wishes to
do honor. This is no slight sacrifice to polite
j ness, I might say to vanity, in such a hot coun
; try. The table is most sumptuously served, and
. after being seated at it, one can no more doubt
• ,ak I* l - -c t»»i.«w» br-r to -«» ‘tin
Carthagma is a place where there is the best of
fare. It the evening they have cards and mu
sic. and yerhaps dancing. There is drinking,
and no end to the smoking. These pleasures a(p
prolonged till midnight. Then you are shown
to your clamber by graceful mulattoes, where,
under go»d musquito nets, you may choose be
tween a bed or a hammock, and sleep till sun
rise. As soon as it is light, attentive waiters
bring you a basket of fruit and a cup of coffee
The day, unless it is Sunday, is passed in the
same manner.
“ General Santa Anna, who speaks French
correctly.is very reserved on politics. Still, it
is easy to see that he has yet an ardent ambition
concealed under this appearance of coldness.
His partizans understand the matter, and the
diplomatic service is in request. The time is
approaching when the financial crisis will finish
the dissolution of the present organization of the
Mexican republic. It has been put off thus far
only by the annual instalments of the Americans
to pay for California.
“ This year the indemnity will be completed,
and Mexico can say that this beautiful province
is already eaten up. The patriotism of the cler
gy and nobility will not supply the deficit. The
party of Santa Anna will resume the ascenden
cy; that of the present administration will be
destroyed at a blow, and pass into new relations.
The American party, which is nothing as yet,
with the eordial hatred which is borne to the
Anglo-Saron race, will form the opposition to
the new jovernment of Santa Anna, which cer
tainly will not be of long duration. The natu
ral current, stronger than all parties, leads to an
nexation. It is unhappily written in the desti
nies of Mexico that she must again pass through
the experiment ol a dictatorship, by which she
has once been destroyed, before recovering her
stability-.’ l
[From the N. Y. Evenin" Post, 18th insZ.j
Antorf of the 0hi0—52,447,000 in Gold.
The steamship Ohio, arrived this morning
with ttfo millions and a half of gold.
We are indebted to Purser Mitchell for the
freight and passenger lists.
The Ohio left Aspinwall on the Sth inst.. at
10 A. M. and arrived off the Moro Castle, Ha
j vana, at midnight on the 10th, entered the har
bor at simrise, and soon after the Health Officer
I came along-side; as there were several cases of
Panama fever on board. The physician, with
out making any examination of the ship, and
notwithstanding he was assured by Capt. H.,
and the surgeon of the steamer, that there was
no diseass of a contagious or infectious nature on
board, ordered this ship to be quarantined.
This Was contrary to the usage and custom of
the port,and evidently bestowed by the officials
of the harbor, to show the utter contempt in
which they hold the U. S. government; and, at
the sanra time, gratify a private pique held
against the mail line of steamers.
As the object of the steamer in putting in at
Havana wm merely to take in coal,the promise
was given that it should be sent along ide in
lighters- butun the following morning, just as
the twi>ji|j®ia-arrived, an order came from the
Cantail.pj#l’ort for the ship to be removed
to the regultt quarantine ground, more than a
mile distant, and causing, besides the loss of
nearly a day, an expenditure of about ten tons ot
coal.
However, before the steamer had left .her
moorings, a Spanish naval surgeon came along
| side, and after a private and unofficial examina
tion, pronounced the ship no longer subject to
I the restriction of quarantine.
It subsequently appeared that a meeting of the
Board of Health had been held, (of which the
visiting surgeon was a member) and he, with a
noble and praiseworthy spirit, had offered to vis
it the steamer in person, taking upon himself
the risk ol along and tedious quarantine, (should
there be sufficient cause to detain the steamer in
that position.) and having the benefit of the ship
and those on board solely in view.
It was due Don Jorge Ledo,' of Her Most
Christian Majesty, navaljservice, that the steam
er was finally (after being detained 30 hours)
released and permitted to take her coal and pro
visions in the usual manner. The Ohio left
Havana ou the evening of the 12th instant, and
receivM'a pilot off Sandy Hook at 3 J o’clock, p.
in., on the 71th. 1
She brings the California malls of the 16th
February, $2,445,000 in gold on freight, and 441
passengers.
Washington, March 18,1853.
An attempt was made, a day or two, since, to
f overawe the President by the appearance of an
entire. Congressional delegation from a large
State in the West, at the White House, asking
i an interview. The President informed them
t that at twelve o’clock he would bo happy to
me u’jj rhp y “Pl’cared at that time, and.
1 lo and behold tot was a public reception. This
. so shocked their sensibilities that they withdrew,
saying that such treatment was unexpected and
1 unaccountable from a Democratic President.—

H “ What is the singular of man?” was asked
. our devil the other day. “They are singular
. when they pay up the printer without being
. asked to do it a dozen times.” The gentleman
left the office whistling “ Yankee Doodle.”

□"/“It is an erroneous idea that disease cannotbe
cured except by taking largo quantities of medicines
into tho stomach, in a great many cases of which
much injury isdone, although the disease in point
bo actually cured. The coats of tho 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
popsia, nervousness, cholies, alternate diarrhoea and
costiveness, flatulence, nightmare, etc., etc.
Would it not, therefore, be very desirable to
possess a remedy, which being applied ex
ternally, would excite the absorbents to increased
action, and thus carry off. through this medium,
the deleterious principle which'is the direct cause
of the disease. Surely every thinking man will ad
mit that this would not only by the most pleasant,
but by far tho safest means to effect the desired
end. Tho almost superhuman cures performed by
the Arabian physicians in the days of old were
mainly effected by this course of treatment, and tho
ingredients of which H. G. FARRELL’S CEDE
BIiATED ARABIAN LINAMENT is composed,
are extracted from rare plants peculiar to Arabia.
Tho great Linamont (which is now to be had of
most respectable druggists and merchants in every
town in tke 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 sjileon, scrofulous tu
mors, goitre, etc., etc., are frequently cured, and
always relieved by its use. It is unsurpassed as
an anodyne—relieving severe pains in a few min
utes after its application, it soothes the irritated
nerves, and produces that delightful tranquility so
grateful to tho nervous invalid. Sprains, bruises,
wounds, burns, sore throat, chilblains, rheuma
tism, san pain, etc., etc., arc speedily cured by it,
and for nearly all ailments in horses or cattle, re
quiring an external application, it is an effectual
remedy.
Looi out for Counterfeits. — Tho public arc cau
tioned against another counterfeit, which has late
ly made its appearance, called VV. B. Farrell’s Ara
bian Liniment, the most dangerous of all tho coun
terfeits, because his having the name of Farrel',
many will buy it in good faith, without the knov -
ledge that a counterfeit exists, and they will, per
haps, only discover their error when tho spurious
mixture has wrought its evil effects.
Tho genuine article is manufactured only by II
G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole
sale druggist, No. 17 Main street, Peoria, Illinois,
to whom all applications for Agencies must be ad
dressed. Be sure you get it with the letters H. G.

Augusta Market—March 23.
COTTON—Wc have to notice this week an im
proving market. Our last review left it with a good
demand, and prices onjho advance—Middling Fair
quoted at 9? cents. The falling off in tho receipts,
at all tho ports, tho prolonged wot weather which
has put planters back for some jygeks to come,
with tho present prospect for its continuance, has
contributed more than any thing else in giving both
buyers and sellers more confidence, and a healther
tone to the market. Prices gradually stiffened
from Wednesday up to Monday. Yesterday, Tues
day, they still further advanced, and holders were
enabled to realize a further advance on Monday’s
rates of } a j cent on all descriptions. The rece’pts
during tho past two weeks have boon light, and tho
offering stock quite limited. All offered yesterday
met with ready sale, at our quotations given below.
Tho sales on Wednesday reached 845 bales, on
Thursday 432, on Friday 1,300, on Saturday 29fi,
on Monday 506, and yesterday I,s49—making the

Charleston, March 17.—1 n our last weekly re
view, dated the 10th inst., we reported tho Upland
market during the week then ended, as having
1 • been without any material change from tho wCe
s previous: tho transactions in that time having
amounted to some 9500 bales; Middling Fair to
Fair being quoted as previously, at 9| a 10}. The
'» market on Friday, the first day of the week, now
‘ under review, opened with but a moderate demand
Operators partially waiting for tho Africa’s ad
! vices—her arrival at New York having been tele
c graphed the evening previous; which, however,
s afterwards proved to have been erroneous. The
h sales of tho day amounted to but 900 bales. On
l Saturday a good inquiry commenced at an early
y hour, and upwards of 2,100 bales changed hands,
y at firm and sud prices. On Monday the Africa s
advices promulgated in the morning journals, re
i ported the market at Liverpool for the week clo
-1 sing on the 25th ult. with a fair demand, but
stated that the sales had been effected at lower
3 prices, the middling and lower grades having de
clined most. Our market during the day did not
1 seem to bo effected by these accounts—holders
. continued to ask stiff prices, while buyers appeared
? disinclined to continue onerations at their asking
’ aisinclineu to continue operations at tneir asaiug
- rates. Tho sales in consequence reached but about
, 870 bales.
1 On Tuesday the market epened again with a very
’ animated demand, stated a- the time as being
‘ principally of a speculative character, and based
> upon the reported largo deficiency in tho receipts
of the current week. Tho sales footed upwards of
of 3400 bales: prices ranging irregular but gene
rally at an advance since the opening market at
■ the commencement of the week. During Wedne
sday the demand did not abate, but continued even
more animated, and at prices strongly upward
tending. Tho transactions amounting to rising of
3600 bales. Yesterday, likewise, a good demand
prevailed throughout, the day ; but the weather,
particularly in tho afterpart of the day, proving
verv unfavorable, and moreover, holders continu
ing to advance their terms.
The transactions did not reach the amount equal
to the two days previous—amounting, nevertheless,
to upwards of 21U0 bale?, and making the aggre
gate sales of the week near 13,100 bales, of which
the following arctho particulars:
520 bales at 10} ; 398 at, lOg ; 1341 at 10} : 461
at 10} ;36at 10 1-16 ; J 607 at J 0 : 494 at 9$ ; 1388

247 at 8}; 162 at 8}; 185 at 8} ; 202 at 8} ;
915 at 8 ; 451 at 7j ; 130 at 7 13-16 ; 826 at 7} ;
47 at 7} ; 50 at 7j.
The following quotations, for Liverpool classifi
cation, we give as the nearest criterion of tho mar
ket during its close yesterday. Our outside figures
for tho Middling to Middling Fair qualities being
generally the asking prices of holders for strict
classifications. We quote: Inferior to Good Ordi
nary. 8 a9 ; Middling, 9 3 8 a 9 1-2 ; Good Mid
dling, 9 3-4 a 10 ; Middling Fair, 10 1-4 a 10 3-8;
Fair, .
Rice.— Tho market has Jjood well attended du
ring the week, and the rcceips, which comprise
3198 tierces, have changed hands. Former prict s
have been fully sustained. The extremes have
ranged from 3 a s4j per hundred, as in quality ;
the bulk of the sales however have been made
within the range of 3} a s3s per hundred.
Corn — Tho receips of Corn since our last roach
fully 41,000 bushels North Carolina. This heavy
accession to the steak has depressed the market,
and a material reduction ha? taken place in prices.
Sales have been made at prices ranging from 60 a
55 cents, and the highest offer yesterday was 50
cents, to which holders would not submit, and
when we closed our report upwards of 20,000 bush-
els remained unsold. We quote nominallv 60 a55
cents per bushel.
Oats.— We note the arrival of 2500 bushels Ma
ryland, which were sold at 40 a 46c. per bushel.
Hay.— Some 800 bales Eastern and North River
have been received this week, very little of which
has been sold. Wo quote tho former at 1.50 n sl.-
56 ; and tho latter 1 50 a $ 1.53 c., the latter figure
hard to be obtained. Tho supply is rather large
and holders, so they inform us, are not disposed to
increase their stocks at those prices.
Flour.— The stock has been increased by the
arrival tins week of upwarffi 4 2000 barrels, prin
cipally from Baltimore. This accession to the
stock has depressed the market, and prices at the
close of business were easier. Tho transactions,
which comprise some 1200 a 1500 bbls, have been
confined chiefly to Baltimore brqnds at ij a 4J
per barrel.
Bacon.— This article continues to bo very much
neglected, tho transactions having been confined
solely to small lots to supply the retail trade, of 9J
a9 J, for Sides, and about So. for Shoulders. In
the present stgto of the market our quotations
must be considered nominal.
Salt.— Tho receipts comprise 12,000 sacks. Tho
present week opened at about 700., which priee was
sustained until a day or two since, when sales
were effected at 68c., per sack. Wo quote OS a 70c,
per sack.
Bagging — Nothing has been dune in any des
cription of Bagging since our last.
Sugars.— Tho business of tho week has been
confined solely to the sale at auction, on the 15th,
of 175 hhds. of new crop Porto Rico Sugar, which
went off at prices ranging from 5-J to sjc , averaging
about $5 55. Received since our last 285 hhds.
and 24 tes. Muscovados.
Domestic Liquors.— The market has been unu
sually quiet this week. The only transactions in
any quantity was the sale of 50 bbls. N<)’.v England
Rum at 30c. Now Orleans Whisky commands our
quotations.
Freights.— The market opened at 7-16tbsd. for
Cotton’in square bags to Liverpool, but the arrival
es a fleet of British vessels this week put tho rate
down to jd, at which tho market closed very dull
yesterday. Some five vessels were loading for Ha
vre at Ic. for square and 1 jc. for Sea Islands, un
til within a few days, when an engagement was
made at Jc. for tho former. The asking rates for
Coastwise shipment, are as follows, viz : 7-16ths for
Cotton, and $1.50 fbr Rico to Now York; and to
Boston jo. for tho former and $2 per tierce for the
latter.
Savannah, March IS.— Cotton.— Arrived since
the 10th inst., 4,750 bales Upland (1,811 per Rail
road, 2.046 from Augusta and landings on the
river. 843 via Darien, and 50 per wagons, 4c.,)
and 251 do Sea Islands. The exports for tho
same period amount to 4,300 bales Upland and 452
do. Sea Islands, viz: to Liverpool 2,132 bales Up
land. and 206 do Sea Islands; to New York 1.973
bales Uplands and 246 do. Sea Islands; ta Phila
delphia 165 bales Uplands : and to Charleston. 30
bales Uplands—leaving on hand and on shipboard,
not cleared, a stock O' 43,788 bales Upland and
2.216 do Sea Islands, against 58,443 bales Up
and and 3,062 do. Sea Islands at the same time
last year.
Our last weekly report left tho market in a qtyot
and unsettled state. On Friday there a, good
demand at firm prices: sales L 833 balqs. On
Saturday the sales were bales, prices slightly
in favor of sellers. Qn Sunday we had later fqr
oign nows by the Africa at New York. The Uver
orpool market was reported dull, with sales for tho
week of 24,000 bales. The quotations for fair
Cottons were the same as previously reported, but
tho poorer sorts had declined jd. Our market
was not effected by the Africa’s news, Tho sales
on Monday wore 725, on Tuesday 380, on Wednes
day 2.162. and yesterday 1,097 bales. The sales
on Wednesday were made at an advance of j cent,
from tho prices of tho previous day, caused mainly
by the reports from New Orleans, that tho week’s
receipts had boon much less than last year. By
reference to our tables, it will bo seen that the
excess now over last year is 472,728 bales. The
receipts of tho week at all ports are 55,160 bales
less than tho corresponding week Inst year. The
market closes firm at an advance of j to |c. during
tho week. We quote

tain full prices. The sales amount to 400 casks, at
prices ranging from to P* r hundred

wise.
Flour.— There has been a fair demand during
the wook, but holders, in order to operate, have
been obliged to submit to a slight, decline on our
quotations of fast week. Tho market is well sup.
plied. We hear of sales of Baltimore brands at
$5.62 j a $5,75 per bbl., according to quality.
Corn. — There has been a fair demand through

reduced, holders have obtained rather better pri
