AUGUSTA, Or A '
SATURDAY MORNING OCT. 25
To Advertisers. —An accident to oar oat*
tide form of Wednesday last, will account for
the omission, a few days, of a number of adver*
tisements.
“ Co-operation—lts Prospects*”
11 Let us continue to “enlighten the public mind,
rouse the public feeling, excite the public shame,”
and the South will be united and a Southern Con
federacy formed. There is a strong Southern rights
party in the States of Alabama, Mississippi, Geor
gia and North Carolina. This party ia rapidly on
the increase, and will, we believe, in time prevail.
The union of the South will not be effected in a
month, nor perhaps a year, yet, we are enoonraged
when we remember that our fore-fathera were en
faged in agitating and discussing the wrongs they
ad received from the mother country for ten years
before the colonies were united in resisting those
wrongs. Let us then persevere, and let net * ‘delay
create despair.” As for ourselves we have no fears
of failure—the clouds which have for a time some
what obscured our political horizon are being dis
persed. Our prospects now for eo-operatioa are
brighter than they have ever been. Separate se
cession, its most bitter enemy, will soon be dead,
“tbe day of ce-operation has just dawned.”
The above extract is the conclusion of an
‘editorial in the “Southern Right’s Adtocite,” a
co-operation journal, published at Anderson,
South Carolina.
The idea of forming a Southern Confede
racy for the past acts of the General Govern
ment, the Advocate will find, when it has tried
a month, a year, or even ten years, as utopian
and fruitless as separate State secession, which
it has so zealously opposed. The true policy
of the whole South is to take positiou on the
Georgia Platform, and when that is disturbed
by the General Government, co operation
will be certain and easy ; and the fact that the
entire South occupies it, will be a sure and
safe guarantee against its disturbance. We,
therefore, in all sincerity commend the sug
gestion to the “ Advocate ” in common with the
entire co-operation party oi South Carotin
and invoke them to persevere in “enlightening
the public mind” of that State in reference to
the Compromise measures, the troe interests
of the State, the great prosperity her people
enjoy in the Union, and the blessings and
benefits the Union confers upon each and all
its members and their citizens. To this the
press of that State generally have devoted
little atten ion, and have sought rather, to
alienate the affections of the people from the
Government of their fathers, than to excite the
public sympathies in jits behalf. They have
taught that it was the most “corrupt and tyran
nical Government in the world,” in the face
of the fact that its citizens, from one extreme
to the other, are enjoying a higher degree of
prosperity and have their property and liber
ties bet’er protected than any people on the
face of the g'obe.
Handsome Vehicle.
Jas. llulbekt & Co , have just completed a
very handsome Barouche and Buggy, the lat
ter on a new principle, which they design for
exhibition at the Macon Fair, and which wi!|
well repay those of our citizens who take
pleasure in each things for calling and exatnin
ing. They may be seen at their Factory, at
the corner of Etlis and Mclutosh streets.
Shall Pox.— We were quite surprised to
learn a few days since, that stories are still in
circulation in some parts of the country of the
prevalence of Small Pox in this city. Nothing
could be farther from the truth. There is no t
now and has not been for many weeks a case
in this city or any where in the county.
Frost. —There was a heavy frost for the
season in this city yesterday morning. The
thermometer stood at 30 deg. Os course there
was ice. Had there been much moisture in
the atmosphere, all tender vegetation would
have been killed.
Fulton is the name of a new Post Office
established in Cobb couLty. of which Mr. L.
Harris, is the Postmaster.
■ >v Hcttkn's Fork” in Wilkes county has been
discontinued.
A Female Pedestrian. —A Miss Cushman,
at St. Louis, Missouri, has undertaken to walk
a mile an hour for 500 consecu'ive hours. She
commenced at 6 P. M on Friday, the 10:h
inst., and during her first 24 hours her quikest
mile was performedgin 14 minutes, her slowest
19 minutes and 12 teconds, and the rest at va
rious periods between. She is said to be a
graceful as well as a rapid walker. While on
duty she is dressed in full Bloomer ooalume,
consisting of pink silk dress, pink trousers, and
bonnet trimmed with cherry colored ribbon.
Large crowds were drawn together to witness
this novel spetstacle.
EF The Railroad Companies of the State
of New York on the Central line, and connec
ting therewith, have had a roeetng, and resol
ved to aid the construction of the Railroad
on the Canada side of Lake Erie, from Niag
ara towardi the West, by liberal subscriptions.
The Company subscribes $200,000, and oth
ers in proportion to their capital.
T here are about 4500 men now engaged in
building the New Haven and New London
Railroad, and it will be completed, there is lit
tle doubt, within the time anticipated. This
road will make, with the New York and New
Haven, the Norwich and Worcester, and the
Norfolk County Roads, probably as near an
Airline to Boston as we shall have for soma
years.
We are happy to announce to our readers
the arrival in this city of Mr. C, G. Baylor,
United States Consul at Amsterdam Mr. B.
has manifested great interest in the subject of
estaolishing a system of direct trade between
the South and Europe, with a view of extend
ing the demand for our productions and there
by ,of relieving producers from ike ofteu
ruinous fluctuations of pricss consequent upon
the present monopoly of oar commerce by
the North and by England. Mr Bayler will
be pleased to confer with onr Merchants upon
this important subjeot, and we commend him
to the kindness and courtesy of our eitixens.—

Names of Disunionists in Italics.
Tobacco Smokers sns Chkwees.—He.e are
two or three hints for juvenile tobacco smokers
and chcwers, which we extract from the Boston
Olive Branch: “ Tobacco has spoiled and ut
terly ruined thousand of boys inducing a dange
rous precocity, developing the passions soften
ing and weakening the bones, and greatly In
juring the spinal marrow, the brain and the
whole nervous Quids. A boy who early and
freely smokes or otherwise largely uses tobacco
never is known to make a man ol much energy
of character, and generally lacks physical and
muscular, as well as mental energy* To people
older, who are naturally nervous, and particular
ly to the phlegmatic, to those of a cold and more
than a Dutch temperament, tobacco may be
comparatively harmless, but even to those it is
worse than useless. We would particularly
warn boys who wish to be “ anybody” in the
world to avoid tobacco aa a deadly poison.'
A Curiosity, —At the World's Fair ihere
is a lerviee of plate compriaiig forty five arfi
eles—tea pot, with moveable lid ; sugar bowl,
slop basin, cream ewer, two cake plates, sugar
tongs, butter k-rife, with twelve cups and sau
cers, and a dozen spoons, all made from the
metal contained in a four penny piece.
A Monkkt Hunter— A French paper
speaks of a gentleman who has gone largely
into the monkev trade. He haa just returned
to Medeahaftera long hunt in which he had
taken, by an ingenious proeeedipgjof his own
invention, from 250 to 300 monkeys of all
ages and sexes, with which he is about em*
barking for France.
The Cheap Postaub System , says the
Albany Argua, will probably more than realize
tbe expectations of its advocates. At the
Post Office in this city, where formerly 1660
was the average number of letters mailed •
day—about one*fourtb prepaid—there were
recently mailed, in a single day, 9,513 letters,
of which about two-thirds were orepaid.
No doubt the returns of the present quarter
will show an immonae increase in the number
of letters over any quarter of last year.—

AUGUSTA MARKET
Fbidat, P. M.
Cotton.—Tbe Frost and Foreign News have
given us an advance of | to j tent to-day. There
was a good demand to-day, and a few hundred
balea changed hands at the advauce noted. Pair 8
cents,
CHARLESTON, Oct.24.— Cotlen.— There was
a good den;and for Cotton during the previous week
which quite absorbed the whole of available -took,
and when we oloaed our inqiries on the 16th inst.,
the merket was firm, nrtwithstanding the tecsip's
on that day of the unfavcrable advices brought out
by the America. Tbe middling fair and fair quali
ties atjtha time were valued at 8 a BJe. The pre
eent week opened with a very good inquiry, but
bnyera were demanding a lower range of figures,
bated on these advices, sellers however, would not
come to terms, and the day past off quietly, the
transactions having boon limited to about 700 balea.
Similar offer* were renewed on Saturday, and some
of the latter class of dealers proving more tractable
than on the preceding day, the sales increaved to
1200 bales; but although the transactions showed a
droopinr market, no positive decline can be said to
h»ve been established in prices. The receipts in
tha meantinoejeontinuing rather light than otherwise,
when buyers made their appearance in the market
on Monday, they were met by a demand for full
prices, and the day’s business sustained the position
of factors —sales 951 bales. Tuesday was rather
an active day, the transactions haviar reached fully
1300 bales, and previous prioes were well bus
taiued. The article has been in good request
during (he last two days—the operation* on Wed-
I nesday having reached 1700, and yesterday 1,300
1 bales. The comparatively limited amount on sale
| towards the close of the week, gave holders a slight
| advantage over buyers, but no decided improvement
has been established on the prices current this day
woek, and we therefore renew our quotations, to
which we would with confidence refer, as giving a
| fair ind.x of tbe state of the market at the clore of
business w e have nr quotations to offer for the
extreme grades, as the transactions in these quali
ties have not been sufficiently extensive, for the
want of Ihe stock, to e»tabliih prices. The receipts
lince our last comprise 8736 bales, and the sales in
the corresponding time foot up 7120 bales. We
t quote middling to good middling 71 a 7J; end mid
dling fair and fair 8 a Bfe. The market for all de

go of 5,648 bags, and also dates of the 6th Septem
