A Monopoly of Cotton, Our people are predisposed to believe any one who asserts that to the South ern States of this Union belongs solely and forever the privilege of supplying the world with cotton, The wish is father to the thought; the illusion pleasant. But the world wants more cotton, cheaper cotton, than the South affords. England and Franco want more cotton to busy the hands whose owners, if. unfed, would soon tip up the thrones of Victoria and Napoleon and share among themselves the wealth, palaces, grounds, and gold of noble man and of capitalist. All Europe wants cotton to clothe her increasing millions. The amount of material needed for clotlriug increases in Europe every day, while the ability to produce the raw stuff is lessened, in exact ratio, by the necessity to set apart more land for the raising of breadstuff*. Cotton must clothe the world, that all are ready to admit. And the con fident and the self satisfied say, we of the South will have the monopoly oi its production. Very good; men of the South cannot be blamed for desiring such an office. But unfortunately, the .plant can grow elsewhere than within our borders. It does grow in Africa, in India and in South America. It is na tive in the Eastern Hemisphere. No matter if the quality of Indian or Af rican staple falls below the average of the American. The white man’s mind will find means to perfect the mode of its culture in foreign couutries, until an ai tide will he produced not inferior to our own. This is no mere assertion. The latest and best writers on Africa have established the fact that the plant is indigenous in that country, that the climate of that grand division is favora ble to its growth. Already the white man is going thither to superintend its growth. The negro is already there.— Who believes that the white man will not compel the black man to do the la bor? True it may be a long time be fore the African staple will rival our higher grades, but already it does com- , pete with our poorer qualities, and 1 therefore necessarily reduces the price of our best article. 01 course either | an improvement in quality or an in- , crease of quantity in the African will 1 loosen our hold upon the monopoly 1 until, though cotton will continue to be 3 King, Southern planters will no longer j be King makers. I In India the only thing needed for t cotton culture beyond what India al- ' ready has is a system of irrigation. 1 English manufacturers have made the ( discovery that they pay the South j annually fiftymillions of dollars more for 1 cotton than the actual cost of produc- > tion and that by the yearly application * of this sum for ten years they could so J irrigate the cotton bearing lands of In- \ dia as to produce as much cotton eo the 1 United States now supply. With this ' knoweldge how long will they delay to ! put the scheme in operation? ■» Congressional. 1 In the Senate on the 16th, several me 1 morials were presented iu relation to private claims, and also reports from Committees. Subsequently the Senate proceeded to the consideration of the consular aud diplomatic bill appropria tion. Mr. Clay moved to strike out the appropriation for the education of Afri cans. Speeches were made pro. and con. Upon the the question being taken the, amendment was not agreed to—yeas 12, nays 40. The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of the bill making appro priations to facilitate the acquisition of Cuba. Mr. Thompson of Ky., made a long speech in opposition. In the House, Mr. Stephens reporter! bills for the organization of Govern ments in the Territories of Arizonia.— Dacotah and Jefferson, These hills were severally tabled. The House afterwards had under con sideration the House bill for the dona tion of land to establish agricultural colleges, returned from the Senate with amendments. Mr. Cobb, from Alabama, moved to lay the subject on the table, which was not agreed to. The previous question being seconded, the amendments of the Senate were agreed to, and so the bill is passed. The Senate amendments were unimportant, save that the result will be to increase the amount given to free B States. * A Capitol Idea! The recent efforts of membeTsof Con gress to introduce a system of Retrench ment and Reform, by increasing the postage on letters, when over Nine Thousand Dollars was expended for mirrors, combs and brushes for their own use, is decidedly refreshing. It would be well for the members of the next Georgia Legislature not to follow in the footsteps of such illustrious per sonages, but to ponder upon and carry into effect the following resolution pass e< * o »y their body, December 12th, 1812. In .he House of Representatives Resolved, that it is the opinin of this Legislature, that the members of the! next legislature respectively, ought to appear in a full suit of homespun, of the j manufacture of this State.” Such a dress would be cheap, and I would add very much to their pereonal appearance. Our immediate represen- j iativee, will doubtless, carry this reso- 1 lution into effect. For the information i of members of the Legislature we would rj state that they can be supplied on reas v onable terms, with an excellent qua!- b ity of homespun, at* the Augusta Fac- t *oiy. e A large grizzly bear was killed at Rye , N. Y. some days ago, after killing one j aud desperately wounding another of, the hunters. It is supposed that this denizen of the Rocky Mountains had escaped from some menagerie as the species is totally unknown in any other section of thecountiy. ■ - ■ •Chas. F. Crawford, Esq., has be come associate editor of the Sumpter Republican. We see notices of the Daily State Press in Macon. We presume its publi cation has been suspended as it has not been received at this office. Personal Kemlulgecn'ce of Washing ton. We have been favored with the fol lowing extracts from a letter written by an estimable and enlightened German gentleman, now in his eighty fourth year, to his friend in this city. The writer is perhaps ‘‘the last iff the barons,” the only individual living in either hemisphere who enjoyed the pleasures of the table, seated on the right hand of Washington. If we are mistaken in this supposition, we will take pleasure in so stating when advised to the contrary. Although fifty eight years have elaps ed since the good old German was last in this country, yet we understand he has made it an invariable custom, ever since, to celebrate at his own house, our two great national holidays—the 4th of July and 22d of February—annually.— An American in heart, though a for eigner by birth and allegiance, the in terest which he manifests for our pros perous destiny is calculated to produce a salutary influence npon the public mind. Bremen, Jan. 15,1859. My Dear Sir ; I have the pleasure to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of 20th December, and avail myself of the first post to express my thanks for the interesting intelligence which it communicates. That which affords mo the most joy is the reference made to the purchase, by American ladies of Mount Vernon, the domestic residence ‘ of the immortal Father of your great • republic. The noble purpose ,of your . fair countrywoman to rescue the hal lowed spot upon which he passed the last days of his glorious life from furth er dilapidation, to preserve the unpre -1 tending old mansion from utter ruin, and to embellish the grounds, is as praiseworthy and creditable to the | Union as was that lofty patriotism which distinguished the Spartan moth ers. May Almighty God bless them for this work of national gratitude—too long, alas! delayed by their fathers, husbands, and brothers. In my parlor is suspended an engra-', ving of Mount Vernon, and in my front j hall a picture of General Washington. , which embraces Mrs. Washington and , Miss Custis. My eyes love to linger , upon those faithful mementoes of othor years. They vividly call to mind the • day—the proudest day of my life—that f I passed upon the beautiful banks of ; the Potomac, In the family of the best , and greatest personage that the world , has ever produced. It was in May, 1798, j now nearly sixty one years ago. I was , seated at his right at dinner, and I re collect as distinctly his majestic bear ing as if it were yesterday. Though of mortality, his overpowering presence inspired an impression that he belonged to immortality. His stateliness, his serene face, the perfect simplicity of his manners, his modest demeanor, and the words of wisdom which he uttered, led me irresistably to the belief that he was an emanation of the Omnipotent, for the marvelous work tiiat he had then just consummated. It was my good fortune to contemplate him in his retirement—after he had left nothing undone that he could perform for the republic of his creation, and after he had quitted office forever. What a privilege I eujoyed in being his welcome guest! Os the 240,000,000 of people in Europe, I imagine I am the only per son, since, the death of Lafayette, who was so favored as to break bread and take wine with him at his own table.— May his pure spirit guide your govern ment, in all coming time, through any difficulties in which it may find itsedf encompassed! May his disinterested patriotism be emulated througli count less generations, by his successors iu the Executive Mansion. •♦. An Ancient Ohio Fight. Upward of a quarter of a century ago, a little uffair occurred in high life, in the town of Columbus, which ought not to be suffered to pass iuto oblivion. Mr. F y was Attorney General of Ohio, and Mr. L was Chief Clerk* in the office of the Auditor of State.— The United States Court was in session, and Mr. F. improved the opportunity to explain to a company of constituents, in frout of the hotel, the circumstances of a claim which had accrued to the “Sullivan heirs,” in consequence of the removal of the Capital of Ohio from Franklin to Columbus. In the course of his remarks, he questioned the state ments in the Auditor’s books. Mr. L. at once pronounced his statement a lie. “I can not waive rank,” said Mr. F., “and fight this man.” As he prooeeded to reiterate his char ges, Mr. L. pronounced him, a second and a third time, a liar, when Mr. F., becoming much excited, shouted : “My fellow citizen, I have concluded to waive the question of rank, and set tle the matter at once.” So, taking of his coat, he descended from the stand, and immediately re ceived a tremendous “right hander,” which lodged him in a neighboring mud hole. Getting up, he rereived a “settler,” which brought him on to the same spot. A third time he came to the “scratch,” when a well directed “eye blinder," from the 6ub auditor, caused him to turn a complete summer-; ’ sault, and lodged him once more npon t his mother earth. , Turning his eyes ’round, under the , evident impression that he had fulfilled j the utmost requirments of the “code,” ’ he addressed himself to his physical su perior, as follows : ; “Before rising from this position, sir, I desire to ask you a question : Do you J intend to strike me if I get up?” I “Os course I do, d—n you,” ejacula- I ted his exci e 1 adversary. “Then, air, I shall not get up.” The spectators now interfered. * *«♦♦« Zinc Explosion —An explosion occur red near Butler, Pa , on Thursday last, by which Mr. E. Reed Bryson nearly lost his life. He was pouring some zinc into a mould, when, owing to the mould being damp inside, of was not aware, the metal exploded burning him badly about the face. Vice President Breckenridge has re- , turned home to Kentucky, and is report- « ed quite ill. , Speech of Mr. Cllngmnri. , Mr. Clingman remarked that the • President had recommended specific du ties, but be had not recommended in ; creased taxation ; the advocates of pro tection hail, however, seized upon the President’s recommendation to urge a system of policy which hod never pro duced satisfactory results. According to his researches, the highest tariffs had produced the lowest prices—and he Could prove this by the figures—running through a long series of years. He' would take the great staple, cotton, as 1 illustration. From 1821 to 1824 the j average price of cotton was fifteen cents . a pound. The tariff increasing the du ties continued four years—until 1828. In 1825 there was a remarkable rise in ■ ’ the price of cotton ; it went up to twen ty cents, but that was a purely specula tive matter. Nevertheless, including this year of speculation in the four, cotton fell todil.4 cents ; and excluding 1825, taking the three next years, the average price 13 10.9 cents, or a fall of sixty per cent. In 1828 another tariff, which was highly protective, was pas sed, which continued just four years.— From 1829 to 1832 the average price of cotton was 9.7 cents—another large fall consequent upon the passage of a high ly protective tariff. In 1832 Congress modified the tariff by making a large ! free list, and in the winter of 1833 Mr. Clay’s compromise was passed, which \ continued in force ten years, until the modification of the tariff In 1842. This . period of ten years, for a particular ' reason which would become apparent, he should divide, in examining these prices, into two periods of five years leach. From 1833 to 1837 the price of ’! cotton rose to 14.3 cents, an increase of J more than 40 per cent, upon previous ' prices, consequent upon a lower tariff. In 1837 there was a remarkable mone tary convulsion.' It was well known that the State banking and deposit sys -5 tern led to an enormous expansion ; the ( • deposit banks themselves had issued; 1 thiitcen dollars in bills for one in specie! f and there was a geneial crash and smash- 1 up, so that for the next four yeaisprices 0 were very much reduced. I This affected the prices in England,; ’ both ©f cotton and everything else.— ; From 1837 to 1842 the average price of cotton was 10.8 cents, which was con-' ; siderable more than it was under the tariff of 1828, which preceded it. In 1842 a highly protective tariff was pass ed ; it was almost prohibitory, and that endured four years. From 1843 to 1840, inclusive, the average price of ; cotton was seven cents a pound, being a ifall of fifty per cent, on the prices du ring the hard times. In 1846 the tariff 1 was modified by making a large reduc tion, and we have bad that tariff in op eration ever since. From 1847 to 1851 . the price of cotton rose to nine and a half cents, being an increase of about ‘ 40 per cent. Taking the seven years fol lowing, the price averaged 9.96, oral-! 1 most ten cents a pound; or "for the whole twelve years from 1846 down to the present time it averages 9.8 per pound—just forty per cent, higher than it was under the tariff of 1842. The re sult is, that as the tariff is high, cotton is low, and vice versa This is the expe rience of thirty-eight years, during which there were .six distinct changes in the tariff. This was eqhally true with other staples besides cotton. If i we take all the exports during the four years of the tariff of 1842, including cotton, rice, tobacco and everything else, we shall find that they brought thirty millions of dollars a year less than they would have brought at the prices of the previous four years ; and if the products which were sold in the four years that followed 1842 had been sold at the prices of 1842, they would have brought thirty millions less. Du ring a period of twelve years we were 1 losing thirty millions of dollais a year npon our exports. Not only were prices lower under high tariffs, but as we reduce prices exports have largely increased in quantity as well as value. The facts were deserv ing of the attention of Congress and of the country, when it was proposed to readjust our revenue laws, For the last five years, the price of flour has been fifty-four per cent, higher than it was under the tariff of 1842, and tobacco has been one hundred and fifty per cent, higher. He thought we .were losing one hundred millions of dollars a year, or more, on account of the tariff ; that would be $409,000 to each congression al district. The people would not en dure such taxation if they knew it; but it is taken from them in au indirect manner. If an officer should stand in every grocery store to collect revenue for the government, and when a man came to buy a dollar’s worth of sugar lor salt, or some other article, he should charge him twenty, or thirty, or forty cents for the government, the people would begin to inquire what all this' money was needed for, and where it j went to. 1— , Thf.Luttkky Church.—Theeditor of the • Methodist Protestant, Baltimore, gives i expression to his indignation at the ap . propriation of $4,000 in the Delaware lottery grant to build a Methodist Pro testant Church at Townsend, Delaware. President Roby, of the Maryland Annual Conference, has addressed a letter to the editor in which he says ;—“I here by proclaim to the world that the Maryland Annual Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church will never be a party to any such nefarious trans actions. ’ ’ Traffic in Human Hair.— The Lon don market aloue, it is said, contains five tons of human hair. Blonde hair is the most demanded. Most of this comes from Germany, where it is gath ered by a Dutch Company. Fifteen years ago this was in the greatest de maud, and brought $2 an ounce. Black hair is now preferred. It comes from France, principally from Brittany and the Southern Departments. The French 1 hair harvest amounts to nearly two tons 1 a year—the price varying from twenty ! cents to a dollar per head, according to weight and quality. The hair mer- ! • chants attend Fairs with a pack of rib- j ' bone, pins, and such small articles, which they exchange for hair. — “Who is President to-day?” is the usual salutation among the Mexicans. A cargo of 816 coolies has arrived at Havana per French steamship Francois I, eighty five days from Jlacoa via Cape of Good Hope. The merchants, bankers, and rich manufactures of Bordeaux, France, have submitted to the Emperor a plan for uniting the Atlantic and Mediter ranean coasts of the empire in a ship canal. It is stated in Paris that M. Fould, minister of the Emperor's household, has gained upwards of five millions of francs by the recent fall in the price of French funds. M. de Morney is said to have been even more fortunate. BY TELLCtKAPH Steamer Marlon Anhore. New Yoiik, Feb. 18.—The steamer Marion,from Charleston,is ashore on the , '.Jersey flats.

It; ( appeal’s that he had collected most of! the taxes and had the money in his own house. Ou Tuesday afternoon he told his wife that he was going to a distant, part of the town, and would not return until the next day. That evening a ! peddler who is well known in the com- r rnunity, and who had been in the habit' f of stopping at the Treasurer’s house 1 whenever he came in the neighborhood, 1 happened to stop. As usual he was in vited to stay all night. About eight < o’clock the peddler retired to bed, up „ stairs, and as it happened in the room , where the money was locked up. I At about one o’clock, the Treasurer's wife was aroused by some one knocking at the door. She got up and opened it, c i when three men, disguised, and their j j faces blacked, rushed in. They seized the woman, and threatened to shoot her if she made any noise. Two of the 1 robbers then proceeded to the stair-door, and tried to open it ; but it seems that j the peddler had taken the precaution . to fasten it on the inside as he went to bed. They then attempted to break in the door, which resisted their efforts , for some minutes. j At length it gave way, and as the < foremost robber sprang on the stairway, the sharp report of a revolver was heard, and the robber fell dead at the foot of | the stairs, shot by the peddler who had i 1 been aroused by the noise. The other h i two robbers instantly fled. A light was: i procured, and upon examination, the , dead robber was found to be the Town . Treasurer himself. There is quite an excitement in the neigborhood, and strong efforts are be ; ing made to discover his t.voaccom : plices.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR ; dial.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach has lo3t the power of duly converting food into a life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single j ; course of this extraordinary tunic. The gastric. | . fluid re acquires its soiveutpowcr.audlhecrude nutriir»nt, which was a load and a burthen to ! the sufferer, whilelus digestive organization was : paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the | wholesome revolution created in the system, the ; basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the . acute, physical agony ol Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux ' or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter : rors, wakened by periodical tits, threatened with j paralysis, borne down and dispirited by that terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack ot I nervous energy, or experiencing any other pgin or disability arising from the unnatural condition of the wonderful machinery which connects ev . | ery member with the source" of sensation; no i tion and thought—derives immediate benefit : from the useof this Cordial, which atoncecalms, ; invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous ! organisation. ,1 Females who have tried it are unanimous in ' declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that J woman has ever received front the hards ol 1 medical men. Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im mediate and astonishing effect upon tbo appetite While it renews tbe strength of the digestive powers it creates a desire for the solid material which is to be subjected to their action. As an j appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. Iflonglile and the vigor necessary to its en i joy ment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of precious worth, ! Its beneficial effects arc not confined to either j sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn man of business, the victim of nervous dtpres [ sion, the individual suffering from general de j bility or from the weakness of a single organ willall find immediatcand permanent relief from l the use of this incomparable renovator. To those who have a predisposition to paralysis it ! will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard against that terrible malady. There are many perhaps wiio have so trifled with their constitu tion that they think themselves beyond thercacli of medicine. Let not even these despair. The Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re ference to the causes, and will not only remove the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con stitution LOSS OF MEMOP.Y, confusioo. giddiness, rush of blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofselfde siruction, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys pepsia, general prostration, irritability, nervous ness, inability to sleep, distaste incident to fe males, decay of the propagating functions, hys teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, constipation, etc., from j whatever cau.-e arising, it iff, if there is any reli ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute- i ly infallible.

During my sickness I was attended by three physicians in our place, but received commended fur such complaints, but they af forded me no relief.
