GENERAL NEWS. Letter from the Hon. Edward Everett to Lord John Russell. A letter from Lord John Russell was recently published, addressed to Mr. Crampton.the Brit ish Minister, in reply to the letter of the Hon. Edward Everett, written in December, 1852, (he being then the Secretary of State) on the •tripartite treaty proposed by England and France, for the purpose of guaranteeing to Spain the possession of Cuba. Mr. Everett, it will be remembered, refused on the part of our Govern ment to enter into any such treaty, and gave his reasons at length, and defined the position of the United States in regard to Cuba, in his usual able and masterly style. Lord John Russell’s reply was not made public until Mr. Everett had retired from office. The latter gentleman, however, has deemed it his duty to some extent to answer it, and the answer, which we find in the Boston papers of Wednesday, is written in z chaste, dignified and thorough manner. Alter disposing of preleminary things as to the tone of Lord John’s despatch and the length of his own letter, Mr. Everett adverts to the grounds upon which the United States rest the claim of having a paramount interest in Cuba. He then goes into a close and interesting exami nation of the remark made by Lord John rela tive to the avowal that the President could not repress the Lopez expedition. This is pressed in such a manner as to leave Lord John Russell in a melancholy plight. The same thing is done as to Lord John’s lecture on American law. The manner in which this law was vio lated in the British orders of council, and French, Berlin and Milan decrees, is dwelt upon, and forced home in away that must be peculiarly refreshing to Lord John in particular, and to John Bull generally. We give this portion of his admirable letter: u Consider, too, the recent antecedents of the powers that invite us to disable ourselves to the •nd of time from the acquisition in any way of this natural appendage to our continent. France, within the present century, to say nothing of the acquisition of Louisiana, has wrested a moiety of Europe from its native sovereigns; has possessed herself by force of arms, and at the time greatly to the discontent of England, of six hundred miles of the northern coast of Africa, with an indefinite extension into the interior; and has appropriated to herself one of the most important insular groups of the Pacific. Eng land, not to mention her other numerous recent acquisitions in every part of the globe, has, even since your despatch of the 16th of February was written, annexed half of the Burman empire to her overgrown Indian possessions,—on grounds, it the statements in Mr. Cobden’s pamphlet are to be relied upon,—compared with which the reasons assigned by Russia for invading Turkey are respectable. u The United States do not require to be ad vised of ‘ the utility of those rules for the ob servance of international relations, which for centuries have been known to Europe, by the name of the law of nations.’ They are known and obeyed by us under the same venerable name. Certain circumstances in our history have caused them to be studied more generally and more anxiously here than in Europe. From the breaking out of the wars of the French rev olution, to the year 1812, the United States knew the law of nations only as the victims of its systematic violation by the great maritime powers of Europe. For these violations on the part of England prior to 1794 indemnification was made under the seventh article of Jay’s treaty. For similar injuries on the part of France, we were compelled to accept an illusory set off under the convention of 1800. A few years only elapsed, before a new warfare upon our neutral rights was commenced by the two powers. One hundred millions at least of American property were swept lrom the seas, under the British orders in council and the French, Berlin and Milan decrees. These or ders and decrees were at the time reciprocally declared to be in contravention of the law of na tions by the two powers themselves, each ■peaking of the measures of the other party. In 3831, after the generation of the original suffer ers had sunk under their ruined fortunes to the grave, France acknowledged her decrees to have been of that character, by a late and par tial measure of indemnification. For our enor mous losses under the British orders in council, we not onlv never received indemnification, but tbe sacrifices and sufferings of war were added to those spoilations on our commerce and inva sion of our neutral rights which led to its decla ration. Those orders were at the time regarded by the Lansdownes, the Barings, the Broughams and the other enlightened statesmen of the school to which you belong, as a violation of right and justice as well of sound policy ; and within a very few years the present distin guished lord chief justice, placed by yourself at the head of the tribunals of England, has de clared that ‘ the orders in council were grievous ly unjust to neutrals, and it ts now generally al lowed, that they were contrary to the law of nations and our own municipal law “ That 1 call, my Lord, to borrow your ex pression, ‘ a melancholy avowal’ for the chief of the jurispudence of a great empire. Acts of its sovereign authority, countenanced by its parlia ment, rigidly executed by its lleets on every sea, enforced in the courts of admiralty by a magis trate whose learning and eloquence are among the modern glories of England, persisted in till the lawful commerce of a neutral and kindred nation was annihilated, and pronounced by the highest legal authority of the present day con trary not merely to the law of nations but your own municipal law ! “Under these circumstances the government and people of the United States, who have nev er committed or sanctioned a violation of the law of nations against any other power, may well think it out of place, that they should be instructed by an English minister in ‘ the utility of those rules which for centuries have been known to Europe by the name of the law of na tions.’ ” In conclusion, Mr. Everett says: “As an American citizen, Ido not covet the acquisition of Cuba, either peaceably or by force of arms. When 1 cast my thoughts back upon our brief history as a nation, I certainly am not led to think, that the United States have reached the final limits of theirgrowth, or what comes to very much the same thing, that representa tive government, religious equality, the trial by jury, the freedom of the press, and the otfier great attributes of our Anglo-Norman civiliza tion are never to gain a farther extension on this continent. I regard the inquiry under what po litical organization this extention is to take place, as a vain attempt to penetrate the inscru table mysteries of the future. It will, if we are wise, be under the guidance of our example ; I hope it wll be in virtue of the peaceful arts, by which well-governed States extend themselves over unsettled or partially settled continents My voice was heard at the first opportunity, in the Senate of tbe United States, in favor of de veloping the almost boundless resources of thf territory already in our possession, rather than seeking to enlarge it by aggressive wars. Still I cannot think it reasonable—hardly respectful —on the part of England and France, while they are daily extending themselves on every shore and in every sea, and pushing their do minions. by new conquests, to the uttermost ends of the earth, to call upon the United States to bind themselves by a perpetual compact, nev er, under any circumstances, to admit into the Union an island which lies at their doors, and •ommands the entrance into the interior of their continent.” The Weather and Crops. Freshet and Rain. —Tbe Girard East Ala bamian of the 16th inst., says: On last Satur day and Sunday we had a veiy heavy rain suffi cient at least, to raise the river to a great height. Fiom the best information that we have, we are not aware that serious damage has been done to plantations below this point by the river, yet learn that the rainy weather done incalculable injury to the cotton crop in this county, and that the open cotton is sprouting in the boll, and some that has fallen out is glowing finely. We an; iritoimed tNat the cotton crop in tin* county will be less than' that ol last year. We understand that Flint river has overflow ed its banks, and that many plantations have been ruined. The Weather, |Crops, &c. —The unusually wet season of the past month, has been succee ded by clear, sultry weather. Thecountry con tinues healthy in spite of such causes for sick ness. Cautious as we are in our notices and estimes of the cotton crop owing to the imper fect and partial accounts usually obtained, we think we can say that the crop in this region will be reduced to at least one third of a fair average, yielding 400 lbs., instead of 1200, to the acre. This falls considerably short of the production last year and is itself considered too favorable an estimate. — Columbus (Miss.) Demo crat, 17 th inst. The Weather. —Still it rains. For nearly two weeks the heavens have poured down a flood upon us, and yet there is no bright sky over us. When it will cease the clerk of the weather has not informed us. We hope, however, for the sake of what little cotton our farmers have re maining, that a cessation in the down-pouring elements will soon take place.— Grenada (Miss.) Rejmblican , 17 th inst. Cotton. —Our great staple|comes in very free ly. The Jenny Beale, on Saturday, brought down 1010 bales, the largest load of the season. Since then, the Magyar and Azibe have artived, ’he former bringing 309, and the latter 523 bales. - The receipts from the Ist instant to the present time sum up 5609 bales. Letters have been received from Memphis, Ala., and Colum bus, Miss., which state, if the fine weather con tinues, more Cotton will be saved than was at first anticipated.— Mobile Advertiser,2lst inst. The Weather and Crops. —The weather continues unsettled. Last week was very warm; but the past few days have been cooler, being something more of a fall-like appearance. From all accounts, the cotton crop will not be a full one—probably two-thirds of an average. The boll-worm and the wet weather, in some sections, did very great damage.— Lowndes (Ala ) Chronicle, 22 d inst. COMMERCIAL. Augusta Market, Sept. 28. COTTON.—There has boon a fair demand for Cotton during the past week, but it has run on qualities principally ranging above Middling Tho lower qualities, or those ranging from Mid dling downwards, are almost unsaleable, there be ing no market value established for them in mar kets below. To sell the lower grades, which con stitute tho, bulk of tho Cotton coming to hand, holders have to take lower prices than realized last week. Tho sales during the past weok havo been limited, not exceeding 4to 500 bales. Tho recoipts continue light for the season of the year, and most ofthat coming to hand is ordered to be sold on ar rival.

Wo have no matorial change to notice since ou/publieation of this day week The transactions in tho lower grades show a little failing off in prices, whilo the better qualities have sust lined their former posi tion, There has not been enough done, however, to establish a rango of quotations, and for the pres ent prices must bo considered nominal. The re ceipts ofthe week roach 1,314 bales. The sales in tho same time may bo classed as follows, viz : —314 bales at Bj, 25 at 9, 51 at9J, 73 at 10, B‘J at 10 j. 83 at 10*, 59 at 10$, 152 10f. 124 at 10 11-16, 282 at 10J, 42 at 1# 13-16, and 45 bales at 10|c.

Flour. —The transactions, which have been limit od to small parcels for city consumption, have been confined mostly to country brands, at prices rang ing from 6 a S6J. sacks and barrells. Baltimore brands are held at 6J a S6J per barrel, but they meet with slow sales at these prices. Bacon. —The market lia3 been very quiet this week; tho few sales, however, that havo been made, show a firm market at last week's prices, which we havo renewed, ar d would confidently rc for to them as being a fair exponent of the state of the market at the close of the wook. Bagging. —Gunny cloth, to which the demand is confined, readily commands our quotations—ll 3 a 12c. liopr. —Wostern and Philadelphia have boon selling in small lots at prices ranging from 84 a 9c.

Cleared in tho same timo 112 halos. Stock in presses nod co ship board not cleared on tho 16th iastant 13,92* bales We are still without any general activity to no tice in tho Cotton trade of our city, and the mar ket of the new crop can hardly bo said to havo fairly opened, so comparatively light havo been the rec.npts up to this time, and so limited tho number ol buyers. There have beon more or less transac tions daily, however, and the sales of tho week sum up about 3500 bales of old and new crop, (princi yally the latter) for which very full prices have been paid generally, though tho market exhibits a good deal of irregularity. Wo have advanced a fraction on our quofations of last week, to embrace new crop, tho outside figures being for a strict clas sification. The purchasos are principally for Eng land, though some few hundred bales have been taken for Franco and tho North, and there would probably be more doing for all these markets, at or near present prices, if the supply and assortment were more amplo. The receipts of new crop thus lar this year are 4592 bales, against 38,479 bales to same time last year. NENV-ORLEANS CLASSIFICATION.

Died, at her residence in Columbia county, Georgia, on Friday, the 16th inst., Mrs. Mary Wellborn, in the eighty fourth year of her age. Another connecting link between this and a former generation has been snapped in twain, re minding us how rapidly the relics of Revolutionary memory, are fading from the earth. The venor able subject of this brief sketch, was no ordinary person, either considering abstractly, the qualities ot her head and heart, or the general character of her ancestry and family connection. She was a daughter, by his second wife, of the Rev. Daniel Marshall, distinguished among the Primitive Bap tists of Georgia, for his sell-sacrificing devotion to the cause of religious toleration, and for his active and zealous attachment to the fortunes of our Re volutionary fathers, in their contest for indepen dence Thus descended, she was, of course relatod to that worthy list of Marshalls, who graced the earlier history of our State, by their virtuous in fluence and bright examples, among whom we might more particularly state, that she was the sister of Abraham, and the aunt of Jabez .Mar shall, both of whom were distinguished in their day and generation, for eminent piety, and their elo quent advocacy of the cause of Christ. Sprung from and connected with a noble stock, the subject of this Obituary was in her sphere, a worthy rep resentative of their many and heroic virtues.— She was married, in early lifo, to Elias NV oliborn, who has been dead some eighteen years, and who rendered efficient and active service in tho Revo lutionary War, for wnich his widow was duly pen sioned by the General Government, Removed by sex, as her husband was by dispo sition, from the strife and ambitious contests of the world, it was their peculiar province to rear up 1 a numerous offspring. Os strong pratical judgment i and fervent piety, even after the death of her hus- I band, sho managed her worldly interests with a masculine skill and wisdom, and all through life, 1 trained up her household in the paths ot virtue and ! honor. Most nobly were her declining days re warded and consoled, by tho spectacle ot her whole posterity, in tho full tide of successful career, and without a blemish upon the characters which she had formed and moulded. Os familiar and accom modating disposition, her home was always tho abode of a generous hospitality, and there is scarce ly a traveller or wagoner, accustomed to that great thoroughfare between middle Georgia and Augusta, before railroads were established, but who has drank from the ,l old Oaken Bucket which bang at her well, 7 ’ and are even now amused and refresh ed, by tho recollections of her inquisitive disposi tion and familiar lindness. But this vonerable mother in Isreal is gone Having lived beyond her throe score years and ten; till the elastic throb had left her heart, and the power ot locomotion had escaped her limbs,— she has been taken in her second childhood, to the rest of her fathers. Her body reposes in the family burial ground by the side of many of her children and grand children, whom she has outlived, but there are still scores who can rise up and call her blessed, and plant the woodbine and cypress on her venerable brow.
