©ri'toteekttt €l)«mfck A Sentinel BY WILLIAM S. JONES Chronicle cm ft Smtinel. AUGUSTA, Or A : TUESDAY MORNING, OCT. 21 Advancing the Price of Cotton.— Some of the Southern papers are discussing and recommending a scheme for enhancing the value of cotton. The plan is to form a com pany, with a capital of $20,000,000, to re ceive all the cotton produced in the United States and sell it, guaranteeing to the owner eleven cents a pound, and withholding it from the market whenever it will not bring that price. The Southern Tress comments thus upon the scheme : The project is utterly visionary and impractica ble. The attempt would break any such company, if it could be formed, and would ultima ely injure the price of cotton instead of advancing it. The production of cotton is like that of every 1 thing else. It is, or will be, limited by the com -1 pensation it pays for the capital and skill invested, y And no device has ever yet been found to secures definite profit to any business. It would be as wise to attempt to regulate the seasons, and to insure against the army worm, rainy and early frosts. There is a prevalent but mistaken notion, that the price of cotton is regulateJ in England by the bank, manufactories, or speculators. The thing is impossi ble. The price is regulated by the demand for the manufactured fabric all over the world. And such is ihe extent of that demand, and of the fluctuations which result from the vicissitudes of nations, that the price of cotton is Jthe very thing that no power can regulate. Such is the extent, utility and necessity of cotton clothing, that the increased demand for cotton is almost the measure of the natural increase and progressive civilization of the world. And neither is quite so rapid as the natural increase of slaves. As lor cotton lands, they are yet sufficiently abun dant to warrant a supply of cotton equal to the pro bable continuance of modern civilization. We are astonished to find so much practical good sense in the Southern Press Cotton Manufactures Decreasing. —The following is the number of bales ol Cotton manufac tured per annum in the South : To September, 1849 • • ••.-•110 000 bales. To September, 1850, 107,090 bales. To September, 1851, 60,000 bales. This is a deplorable result. But it has decreased in the North toe: For the year 18^9—’50. 487,000 bales. Forthe year 1860—*51 •• 404,000 balea. The increase of cotton exported to foreign coun tries over last year, is estimated at 398,555 bales. This is not the best evidence of the prosperity of cotton manufacture in the United States. — Alabama paper. Wh presume the States of North Carolinr, Virginia and Maryland are included in the above estimate. Otherwise we are satisfied the statistics are not reliable, for we feel con fident that the Cotton growing States aro now manufacturing more Cotton tfcan at any for mer period. The number of Factories are greater than ever before, (and rapidly increas ing) and we think, generally, they have kept their machinery employed, notwithstanding the high prioes of Cotton. So far, therefore, as the Cotton growing States are concerned, there has not, in oar opinion, bean any diminu tion, but an actual increaie of the quantity of Co ton manufactured during the past year. This is ae it should be. Let our plauters invest the surplus of a single crop of cotton in machinery for the manufacture of cotton into yarns and cloths, instead of purchasing mere land and negroes to make more cotton, and the North would very soon be taught a lesson she would not soon forget, and instead of med dling in our domestic affairs, would learn to attend to her own business. There it no reason why the South should not spin her own Cotton and export the yarns and cloths, thus reaping all the bene fits of the manufacture. Indeed there is every reason connected with her own interest and the prosperity of her people, why she should do so; and the sooner she commences the work the better.

The Engineers expected to have been able to rnn the cars to Gatoon on the 12ib inst Among the passen gers on the Illinois are seven persons who dag SIOO,OOO worth of gold dust. The election in California was undetermined. It was iop. posed, however, that the democrats had been successful in electing the Governor and Mem bers to Congress. The general news is onim portant. The markets are more active. Flour Provisions, Groceries and other articles were improving. New York Market. —In the New York Cot ton market on Saturday, Middling Upland was quoted atߣ, and Middling Orleans at 8| cents. The sales of the week amount to seven thousand bales. Rice has declined du ring the week, and the transactions comprise fire hundred tierces at2{ a 3 516. Mobile, Oct. 18.—The steam ship Brother Jonathan, bound to New York, put into this Port to-day for coal. She brings 128 passen gers, San Francisco dates to the 14th nit. and Chagres to the 14th inst. The Vigilance Com mittee of San Francisco hare resigned their functions in favor of the authorites. The elec tion is yet doubtful. The chances are in favor of Bigler. Heydenfeldt will probably bo elected Judge of the Supreme Court. The mail steamer Caroline when between Panama and San Francisco on her last trip, sprang a leake and pat into Acapuloo, where she baa been condemned. Nkw Orleans, October 17.—Six hundred bales of Cotton ivere sold to day, Frida/. Na material change has occurred in prices. Tire rales of the week are 34,000 bales —.be largest this season.

By the arrival of the steamship Louisiana, Capt. Forbes, we have Galveston papers to tha 10th inst., with corresponding later dates from other parts of Texas. The San Antonio Ledger announces the death of the Hon. John H Rollins, (J. S. Indian Agent for Texas. He died at San Antonio on the 25th ult. The Ledger says that the San Antonio and Mexican Gulf Railroad is in a fairway of be ir g commenced, and under favorable auspices. The Commissioners me: on the first Monday of the present month, and ascertained that up wards of $400,000 of stock in c»sh subscrip tions had already been obtained. A meeting of the stockholders was called for the first day in October, to elect directors under the chnrter, it having been declarsd by one of the by laws, that the company should te organized and the work proceeded with when a cash subscription had been obtained amounting to $300,000. The Galveston Civilian of the 7th inst, thus speaks of the crops: Oar last accounts from the interior embrace no news of particular interest. Cotton pick ing is going on with great animation and suc cess. The season hrs proved remarkably fa vorable for picking, and the amounts reported to be gathered daily by different hands are ai most incredible. Five, six, and in one case, nearly 900 pounds of seed cotton are reported, on good authority, to have been taken out in a day by single hands. The crop is short, it is true, but noarly all of it will no saved in the very best condition. The yield of the State promises to exceed that of iaityear, from the increased quantity of land in cultivation, though the average product per acre will proba bly be loes. One of our intelligent citizens has just returned from a tour through the inte rior counties, extending some 1,500 miles by the route traveled; and he informs us that he every where saw the most substantial eviden ces of comfort and prosperity among the peo ple. The face of the country is rapidly chang ing. As an inetauce, we are told that there is, at one place, a continuous fence and corn fields for eight miles in extent along the road, where four years ago the Indians held almost sole possession.— N. O Pic. Electro Magnetic Printing Press. —An ingenious printer of Illinois, Mr. F. A. C. Fore man, has recently invented an Electro-Magnetic Printing Press, which is highly spoken of by those who have examined it. The Vincennes, Ind., Gazette, speaking of this invention, says — A contemporary who 3aw it at work, says it threw ofi impressions with the rapidity of light ning. His paper w orks upon a reel, and is con tinuous, like a telegraph coil. The paper is car ried over the type on a cylinder, and when one side is worked, the paper is reversed, and the other printed with a mo3t perfect register, and as they comu from the prcs9, the sheets are clip ped apart by an ingenious contrivance. The speed of this press is almost unlimited and its exactness is beyond anything in this line of ma chinery. Mr. F. estimates the cost of the lar gest sized printing press at no more than five hundred dollars. Prom the Journal <}’• Messenger. Macon, Ga.-, Oct. 7th, 1851. To the Officers and members of the (late) Geor gia Convention—Gentlemen ; —by the accompany ing letter of Mr. Elisha hittleeey, President of the Washington National monument Society, you will perceive in what manner the duty assigned me of procuting a suitable Block of Marble, as con templated in the resolution of the Convention upon this subject, has been discharged. In addition to what is stated in the letter, it may be mentioned that the inscription, coat of arms, &c., stand in bas relief or in plain terras, raised upon, instead of being cut in the face of the Marble, as in the ordinary mode, thus giving to the work the finest possible effect. Several of our citizens have examined the block at Washington, and have been pleased to bestow upon it high commendations, and to consider it as a tribute worthy the members of the convention, and as an honor to the state they represented. With the hope you will approve what has given me so much concern to faithfully accomplish. I remain gentle men, your ob’t servant. R. S. Lanier. (late) Secretary Convention. Washington, National Monument Office, > October 2d, 1852. ) R. S. Lanier, Esq., Macon, Ga.—Dear Str : Your favor of the 21et ult. was received by G. Waterston, Esq., and handed in to this office. The block you refer to, rrdered by the Georgia Conven tion for the National Monument, has been rtceived here in perfect order, and will, at an early day, be placed in the position in that great edifice it will so worthily adorn. It is a beautiful specimen of ma terial and workmanship, being pure white marble, and contains the inscription and embellishments con. templated and specified in the ccpy of resolution forwarded by you. Most sincerely, yours, ELISHA WHITTLESEY, by J. W. Ecklcff, Clerk. The Washington Union publishes live col umns of Kossuth’s address to the people of the United States, giving the history, in burn ing eloquence, of the revolution in Hungary, explaining bis object, the cause of bis defeat: and says, had tbe United Slates been a neigh boring nation, the whole of Europe would have been revolutionized.

T* Travel to the Pacific — Important Arrange ments.—The New York Herald states that the sailing days for the United States mail steamers for San Francisco, have been changed. The Philadelphia will sail from New York on ‘the 22d, the Georg a on the 24th, aud the Illinois on the 25th of this month. Hereafter the sail ing days will be the 9th, 11th, 24th, and 26th, ofeach month, unless those dayshappen upon Sunday, when they will be despatched on the day following.

She left Savannah at a quarter befor 5, thus accomplishing the run between the two cities in the unprecedented short time of 6 hours, 35 minates—being, we believe, the shortest pass age over made from Savannah to this city. This was performed notwithstanding 'he ne cessity of descending the Bavanah Hirer at a slow speed in consequence of starting before daylight. It is supposed that ’he ran eoald have been made in six hours, had the Steamer put up to her power from the start.— Ch. Can. Summary o t Items.

The official statements show that oar exports were, in 1848, $132.934 124, in 1849, $132,- 666,955, in 1850, $134,900,265, total, $400,- 501341. Hon- Secretary Walker, in 1847, estimated that they might be, $1,041,303,377. The difference between the estimate of Mr. Walker and the result, in this period of three years, is six hundred and forty millions of do!, tars. These exports are exclusive of specie. A freight train on the (Pa.; State Road, was thrown from the track on Saturday last, a short distance this side of Cartersville, destroying three or four freight cars, and injuring a con* siderable quantity of their contents.

Delta has the following: “We are authorized by Mr. Somers, who was at the bat tle of Las Pozas, to say that the statement of Lieut. Van Vechlen, that Gen. Lopes used a whip or cowhide to make bis men fight faster, has no founda’ion in fact. Mr Van Vechten was not in that action at all, and must have been deceived in the statement made by him." The Treasury Department, in anticiption of a considerable trade with Cniua, byway of San Francisco, has drawn up instructions for the regulation of imports at the Paciffc ports and intended for the Atlantic. The London Observer states that nearly four millions and a half of persona have already visi ed the Crystal Palace, and the amount received for admission is little short of £400,- 000.

The "New England School of Design for women" is the name of a new institution which has recently gone into operation at Bos ton- T" e school has been established by some of the most benevolent and public spirited citizens of Boston, with a view of enlarging the sphere of women’s usefulness, and also for opening for them new avenues of employ ment. The principal objects to be attained, are to educa a a body of professed designers, capable of furnishing original designs for all mechani cal and other purposes; to teach the various processes of engraving, lithography, and other modes of uansferring and multiplying designs; and also to educate a class in drawing and de signs.
