ton declined Io( a cent, and remained stationary.—
Transactions were light and the manufacturers only
purchased to supply the r immediate wants. Holden
„„ the contrary were finn, believing that the deficiency
iu Ihe crop, (already reaching 30(1.1)00 hales,) and the
unfavorable seasons for the new plant would eventuate
„ nil advance The result has proved that they were
correct The change in the money market, the appre
hension of short crops, and the increase of orders for
manufactured goods, have all operat ‘d to improve the
Liverpool market, and the sales for the week ending
2Sth alt . amounted to 39.000 bales, at the following
quotation*, viz: Uplands 5S a 7d ; Orleans 5S a Hid ;
Mobiles 51 a 7! ; Sen Islands 125 n 20id per pound
This is an advance of 1 to t and. in the quotations upon
all grades p-r lasi steamer, and of course must produce
arorrespnndinginfinence upon this market.
The effect of the news upon the flour, corn, and pro
vision markets, of cou-se must result in a decline
As an evidence of the wonderful act vity of trade
here, I may mention that since the Ist oi September
Inst, the exports of ngric'fiturnl products, exclusive of
cotton and tobacco, from this port to Great Britain and
Ireland, amounts to th” enormous sum of thirty two
millions of dollars. This, it is to be considered, is al
most anew opening lor these articl‘'S, and to tics large
sum th” freight is to be added, American ships having
earned tiie principal part of it.
The uunl spring business is over. The auction sales
last week, however, were pretty well attended, though
th-* quantity of goo Is sold w is not large
A good deal of anxiety has been felt for the last two
or three weeks in reference to the coming crops in the
M Ml • and Western States. Unfavorable reports from
d.fferent quarters have been put in circulation, but prin
cipally .n the gre :t wheat growing State of M.ch gun,
3 h*3 been said the winter grain was chiefly destroyed
b;, t o frf'sts, and what was spared is suffering from the
riy. Admitting, however, the truth of many of reports,
an I making due allowance for ail probable looses, the
greatly increased quantity of grain sown tire year will
much more than compenstae. Tie season has been
uncommonly backward, it is true, but within the last
week or two v ‘g'tntion has coin#* on very rapidly. a..cl
t‘i<* harvest will be very little, ifany, later than usual.
The quantities of bread stuffs received here from the
interior and y-t to coin? almost exceed belief. Already
we hnv received of flour and wheat estimated as reduc
ed to flout 271,000 bHs more than in any former year at ■
thn time, and of Indian com ;.n excess of one million ■
ofbuahris, and still th** north river and canals are taxed
to their utmost to bring forward what remains. It af
fords an impressive view of the incalculable agricultural
wealth of th** coont-y to w -tch the influx of this tide
which flows without an ebb to our sea board.
Money continues quite nbundnnt Heavy loans nre
made on good security at 4 per ct. Within th-* past |
week stocks have advanced considerably, and though 1
the market is buoyant, very little disposition to sjiecu
late has been manifested as yet.
Our hotel- are well tilled with travellers who. in the !
course of the summer excursion* make a brief st*q) in |
the great commercial emporium. As yet, but few of!
our Southern friends have made their appearance We |
expect business and pleasure will draw them hither in
great numbers soon. Truly, yours,

graphic contrast;
“It is a little remarkable that he does not leem some- i

power of modesty and a forgetfulness of self in elevating J

I Quite the most important intelligence leolight by
this arrival relate* In an attack upon a large train by
the Mexican inr"’ri!ln*. which has ben partially suc
eess|„|. By the Fanny w e learned that a train w s to
lea e Vera Cruz on the morning of the sth inst . for
Puebla .under command of I,iem Col. Mclntosh. The
train had in charge $2*25 (XIO in specie, of which sum
one hundred thousand belonged to the Pnymester's I)e
----paitment, the remainder to th. Qua: r,'minster's. One
hundred and twenty-five wagons and six hundred park
mules were in the train, which woe escorted by HOO
troops
The train left Vera Cruz on the night of the Ith n o
and -n Sunday the 6th, when it had advanced about
twenty-live miles, it was attacked iyn large party of
guerrillas The plane was well selected for ihe purpose
by the Mexicans, being r presented as a defile broad
enough for a single wagon only. It is said, too, that
I slighl works had been thrown np by the Mexicans to
obstruct our ndvance. The attack was made upon each
extremity of the train and upon the centre at the same
; time, the principal point however liemg the wagons
which were supposed to contain the specie.
Private accounts represent that the attack was so far
successful that forty ot our wagons were destroyed
though not tin sc containing the specie—two hundred
mules loaded with subsistence were taken, nnd thirty
of our men killed. The American Eagle of the 9th
says our loss is variously estimated at from four to
twenty, but private accounts, from responsible sources,
give the loss as we have done, at thirty men. The
cheek was so severe that Col Mclntosh determined
not to hnzatd an advance w.thont re nforeements. Our
troops accordingly entrenched themselves behind their
wagons, and despatch.'* wen: s. nt off to On Cn :w ~
j advr at Vera Cruz The General left on Monday eve
; “ing, the 7th inst., with a Imce ot about five hundred
j men and four howitzers Private accounts say further
that on the lOiha part of the voltigeurs also left, with
sou howitzers, to join the train.
The Eagle repiesents that our troops received the at
tack with ihe utmost coolness, and that the enemy, bc
’ ing repulsed, fell back townr Is the Puente National,
which some suppose they may - ttempt to defend. No
.at. r news from the train had been received the morn
ing of the 11th, the day the Massacliu etts left On the
10th a large mail was despatched to thispoit on the pro
peller Washington, which may be hourly expected.
Her letters may b ing us further details
No later n wa hid been receive i from the army of
Gei. Scott The reason ia obvious . for the present at
least th coummunication ha* been entirely cit ofl’
We Jo not regard this as at all alarming, for General
Cndw toller wdl no doubt open a ptserge to Jain pa at
on-e : but it i’idießt i s a neceaaity for some cavalry fome
upon the bne to clear aw iy the hrigan Is which intent
it, and who must have mustered in greater force than
hid been anticipated to attack a train guarded by 400
troops.
Bui the audacity of these guerrillas does not stop here
They are entering Vera Cruz nnd st aling our horses
For s-veral nights alarms had been created ill the e,tv
by these predatory attempts. Private letters say that
sixty horse* were stolen from one pen in the immediate
vicinity of the town A reg.ntent ot T xas rangers, it
seems to us, will fi:i-1 ample scope for employment in
the vicinity i Vera Cruz
STILL LATER.
After the f >r#*goine was in type, we. r**e#*iv*d also by
J C Riddle's Express, the New Orleans Picayune
ofthe lSth. containing the following letter and other
additional items ol intelligence, giving rather a more
serious face to the foregoing affair :
El Paso de los Abijos, June 9, 1847.
Gevtlemen —Here I am, about twenty-rour miles
from Vera Cruz, with the train that left on the 4th inst,
and you may know hom the. length of time we have
been caning, that we have undergone a great deni of
trouble. For the last twelve mile* we have faught our
way. under command of Lieut. Col Mclntosh. We
are w thin six miles of the Notional Bridge, which is
fo:tiffed by n large body of Mexicans. We have lost
soin<* thirty men and about $20,000 worth of property
since we left. An express is about to leave for Vera
Cruz t*>r reinforcements, which I fear will not arrive
soon enough. Mexicans can be seen on all sides of us.
and it is feared we will be attacked before any assist
ance can be had, and they know as much about our
business as we do ou.selves. Th** tram contains near
$300,000 in specie, which these Mexicans know.
On the day the Massachusetts left, there was a report
of anew revolution in th< city of M *xico, but nothin/
positive was known, nor how far the report mir*ht be
depended on.
It was fully believed in Vera Cruz, that there wold
be another Cerro Gordo Buttle, after (Jen Scott recciv
cJ his reieforcem* nts, betor. h- could reach the capitol.
The Garrison was weak, but no fears are entertained
of an attack, ns the Mexicans from the country, have
greater dread of the voniito, than of the Americans.

The Cambria reached Boston early on the 16th inst.

the Cotton market. Th** following are the particulars
Liverpool Cotton Market, June 3.— I The tone of
this market since the departure of the steamer has ma
terially improved. Th app ehensions of shot t receipts,
and the backwnrdtv .-s of the season for the growing
crop have caused a decided advance. The improve
ment is likewise in a great measure attributable to the
greater ease in th** money market. So on the whole,
the condition and prospect of the cotton trade presents
a very encouraging aspect

Preserved f'omn f as.
Take fine plumb tonratfls (not too ripe) nnd scald
j them to make the skin come off easily Weigh them,
and to each pound allow a pound ol loaf sugar,
anil the grated peel of a large lemon. Put all to

Peel, cut your Tomatas and put them into a

live minutes, taking care that they are not too thin or
’ watery. Porcelain, should if possible, be used to stew

the peculiar flavor of the fruit is entirely lost. Some
persons prefer sail and cayenne to *ug*ir In that event
they generally use u htte minced onion or powdered
mace, and then stew s.ow.y until the Tomatas are done
, but not too liquid.

The W.lgC* ol War.
Il wa* a fewdtys after tlie battle of Buena 1
Vista—the very day that the mail brought
the olti rial li t of the kille 1 and wounded—we
were seated m the offi'e reading over the
names with a id curiosity seekinsr out those
with whicli we were m.diar. McKee we re
rnembered well—a dashing daring, artillery
officer; he was in the third when we knew I
bin. But he married, left the service engag
ed in business, and at the opening of the'war
resumed the epaulets as (’ rlo tei of n Kentucky
Volunteer Regiment. Brave fellow I none
braver fell on tii.it bloody lield.
We were sorrowfully enough engaged by j
these thoughts when a young woman entered
th” office. When we say young we mean
under thirty She had u small girl by the
hand—a beautiful little creature, about three
years old. Both mother and child (for such
no one could doubt to be their relationship who
observed their features.) were dressed with
extreme neatness though all the little elegan
cies ol'decora I ion were bestowed upon the
child.
AV jn-t looks Iver the top of the paper to
note these particulars when having lieen di
rected to us by a clerk, she came forward to
our desk.
We handed Iter a chair, and. whist we en
deavored as well ns \ve could to soothe her
very apparent agitation we were somewhat
nt n loss to account for iu existence.
After a few tm ne es’ eoncersation. we dis
covered the reason in ihe fact that she was n
relative ol a soldier in Captain “s com
pany of artillery. This rorp had been cn
gaged and we rern “inhered had miHcred very
severely. Hire had bee r informed that the
list ot killed and wotmde I had arrived and she
had ailed U> hear some i.itelligence ol’his late.
She wished us to read over the name.-,.

ravages of disease. We have the pleasure of presenting
below, the testimony of professional an 1 scientific gen

perienced physicians of our State—in regard to the effi
cacy of the invention of Prof. Binning. The public
will be pleased to Irani that he, in obedience
to the wishes of many of h;s patients has appointed
Messrs. Wentworth & Cos., as his Agents in Macon,
and given them all the necessary instructions in regard
to th- use and application of the Brae.* To them the
afflicted may apply at all times, conti lent that whatever
can be done will be done tor th ir relief. The follow

of the contents of the abioinen. consequent upon spinal

skill of the ablest physiciftn*
We believe the principle s correct one, and if judi

Our planting friends who visit Macon would do well
to call at the establishment of r. Vun Va.kenbu gh, in
Mulberry street, two dNrs east of the Floyd House,
where they can see th” whole process of shelling, win
nowing, grinding, and bolting corn, earned forward with
great rapidity. Mr Van Vnikenburg uses what is term
ed Fitzgerald's Portable Mill, us well ns bis improved
home power, the patent rights of which he has secured
so; the States of Georgia aid Florida The Mill itself
with the bolter does not occupy n spoce of more than
t en ft ’t by five, nnd yet is capable of grinding from lour
oi eight bushels of com per hour, nnd separating it into
Jour different qualities of meal and grits. He con also
ue n mill of the same kind for grinding and bolting
Wear, which produces a fair article of flour—quite !
equal, if not sup rior to that generally ground in the -jo
ditinry mills of the country. The cost of thee mills is
comparatively trifling, und they are most admirably!
a ‘opted to plantation us#*, as th-*y can with but little
and Uicu.iy be attached to an ordinary cotton gin, and re
q i t'* ! ut little more power to drive them. Where rev- ‘
ci il pi; t!t.*rs reside near each other, one mill will an-!
s\ er the purpose ol all. Mr. Van Valkenburgh has
sh .wn us many testimonials from planters proving that j
fort mill has given them entire satisfaction. Being a j
practical mechanic of a high order, he put* the
mills in u}>eration himself, and will remain until the pur- ,
ch tsor fully understands and is entirely satisfied with its !
operations.
’1 he citizens ol neon wll led a particular interest
in this enterprise of Mr Van Valkenburgh aa if proper- ‘
iy encouraged he will continue to supply them regularly
with a superior aitide of meal and hommony freshly |
ground, bolted, screened, and cleaned, ready lor use. I
Twiggs County, May 17, 1847.
Mr. Van Valkenburgh:
L:r—ln answer to yours of the 14th inst , I take l
plcasii v in stating that the Mill you put up for me per- :
forms admirably—l am better pleased than I expected
to be, I would not sell it for ary price and be obliged to
do without one. 1 have ground in one day with it with
my gin gear forty bushels of good meal, and I advise
every man that is able to purchase one. •
R W. RADFORD j
Valdosta, Laurens County, April 26th, 1847. i
Mr James Van Valkenburgh :
Dear Lir— lthave tried your Fitzgerald Patent Mill [
for grinding com, and have lound .t t answer admira- i
blv. No planter that is not in the vicinity ol a public |
mill ought to be without one, if he can : fford to pur- j
chase, and his family is sufficiently forge to require the
use of it—otherwise, I would suggest that several for
mers oi a neighborhood should unhe to purchase one m
common, which being estiblished in a central position, I
would be accespible to all.
