TliR Cotton C'lior.—A I’ricos Current of hntur*
day contains i wo e-timuios iff llm crop of IO-IJI: one
of I,:iO(),t)Of) to 1.356.006 link'*, nnd thu oihei of
1,400,000 to 1,140,000; the laiirr Including the
stock on tho l*l (Jet. Iasi, of 40,000 hale*. Ibis
ln-t ciimibinissumrs, with great couliih'tii'u, that the
export* to foreign port*, us c,>in|iaie,| with lifst sea
son, will fall (hart 450,000 hale* !
Tlieto estimates may turn out to lie very near the
truth, and tho lutler one, under tliesigimlitienf ono
ofour moil respectable merchants, of great export-
ciico in llio cotton trade, is certainly entitled in
great respect. But n* we have six months jet to
receive the residua of thu growth of lufforeiho
Wflrt'itd t«Wlc» nte. n'lilr up, nmt ns itori* „( ilie SIX

inontlii.ihn quantity to huicceived must of course
be leftta conjectnio. It* not bring lit the landings
Is noovidenco that it ha* not been grow n, for thorn
who were preiietuimairil to hold hack lor the
spring market, would hardly •end their corps to the
landing* to lie subject fur two mouih«, to the ii»b
ofinjuiy and ile trnciien. Thirty duys since, tinny
of our must Intelligent fue'nrs fell very ceilnin ion
crop would not exceed 230,000 haler J w*o me lip to
that mark nlro.uly, nnd have six ihonili* to no upon.
Tlic entire receipt* of lust year, ending 3<)ih Sept,
were about I,UOO.UUO Imlc*, of whirh no one pru-
tends that no tuna* thmi 15(1,01)0 were tin- growth of
1031!; coiiioqtioiitly, thu growth of 11137 was iihout
1,050,000 bale*. Now if we ndilthe in.mini increase
f induction, whirh for tlto lust ten year* tins been
rom8|| to 10 per cent per iiimuni, wo should Imvo
had a growth in 1U311. of'nenrly 1,000,000 hide*.
And I cannot believe tlto injury to thu crop, from
ail thn various causes stuted, has cmtwUvd its pro
duction more than 200,000 hides; nor do 1 Indiovu
tlto supply for 1039, ending HOih Sept, next, will fall
much short of 1,000,000; mid consequently, that in
stead of deficit of 450,000 halos in our export, ns
suited In thn circular alluded to, it would hardly
Bliiunm in SOO,000.
Those me wide difference*. But a* thn conse
quences of in great a deficiency nro alluded to in the
above circuturi, let us nt the same time havo nu eye
to the consequence* which may follow Hhipmeiit* ut
lha present high rate* of cost, if it should turn util
(ns I think it may) that we have un adequate supply
for thn consumption of 103!).
The apparent caiisiiinpliou of Europe lust year
was unprecedented, mid til England os|H'cliiIly, eve
ry thing was favorable to it, such it* eery low /mi
re*, abundant harvest ill 11137——moneyensy mul cheap
—revival of trade nnd general prosperity,—large
stocks of goods won* pioilnred which are not yet
consumed, nnd I think it will he unsafe to expect it
continuance of tho same extended consumption ut
high prim, and under other uulavorahlo circum
stances and prospect* of the present year.
England is the great eon'rolling market, ami all
admit that thu spinner* nnd dealers were well stocked
■t the beginning of the year, some say they held
100,001), hales more, mid nil I believe inn down the
exce»* of stocks held hy them, ns high us (10.000;
nor should we forget that England receives cotton*
from other •oimtries than this. Lust year, with very
low prices, wont* of ship* in India, &e. they received
over UOOjOUQ hale*. [ In 11139 the receipt* from In
dia alono were 2(i0,OIK) lmle* of about 8(10 lbs. This
yeur with the prospect of high price*, early alarm of
short crop* in the United Stales, nhimdnnt supply of
ship*, Ate. will they receive less than 400,001) hales I
1 think not; hut wo will put down in iimud numbers
350 000, nnd although I really believe wo shall have
a supply of 1,000,000, we will lake the Chronicle
circular estimate of1,4 40,000 bales,of which wo shall
want for the home trade 270,0110, nnd for France,
&c. 410,000, leaving for England 700,000 hale

The last quotations from Liverpool were fl.Jd for

to cover cost and charges, to snv nothing of profit.
It is Impossible to forseo how far the spirit of spe
culation in Liverpool, under tho impression of very
short suppliei.miy for a time, carry up prices'there
but at the last dates (Fob. 6.) they had already
beard of our lowest estimate*, and seemed to nlaco
but little reliance on the correctness of-lhom. When
they ore satisfied that our entire crop will not ex
ceed 1.403 000 bales and they can receive but a little
more thin half of it, they will estimutc their stock*
and supplies from other countries, and then calcu
late their probable want*, ond if they find that thn

To the Editor of the Grcrgian:
Sir—Your correspondent •' Y." siiggesi* tlm-
the nu-rehunis nf Savannah shuirid suhsciihe tons’
sist tho Planters in Raker nnd the adjacent roun*
tie*, in cutting it twenty mi'e run I thro* the Pine

Now. Mr. Editor, 1 think your correspondent al
lows his teal to mil away with him. He has not
rightly considered the position of Savannah. He
knows or ought to know, that she is not prepared
to iindert.ika new busine-s—ihnt her menus are too
narrow. Imr Banking Capital too limited—her
merchants cribbed, cabined,cramped, nnd fettered,
even by tlm business they note tin—imd yet he
Mould nppn-s* them, not. with tlm now luirih'ii
dloiie ol'fifty iliOUMaiid bull's ColliMi but witli their
equivalent in groceries nn l dry-goods, By'r Lndv
n i* lik" giving a 'Sirloin ton Ovsp-ctie—
These things, Sir, require discount- and eredi's,
and your correspondent must know that wo cannot
obtain the one, and dare not grant tho other. It
would be just as unreasonable to expect our Savun-
unit Banks to emulate the mammoth monied power
of Charleston, in discounting four and six mouths-
paper, as to c ilouhte upon Savannah inviting coun
try bu <incss and extonding Charleston credit to her
customers.
Mark mo, Sir, I am not a contemner of Savannah,
I know her primitive strength—her elements of
greatness—and that with half tho banking capital
other riv.tl-*ister-city, she would impart wealth, and
life, and vigour, through every chauncl other proud
aad lofty State
— scatter plenty o'er a smiling land,
And read'her hist'ry in n nation's eyes.
But I do *ay\ tint while our monied facilities re
main as they ore, she must continue what she is—a
new trade would b • a new curie to her, and every
effort made by her merchants to open fresh chan
nel* of her commerce, and extend their engage
ments with tho interior, will only prove the garner
ing up for themiclvca tilo c'aulwrou* evils of over
trading. „ . - Z..

Whilst the writer approves of the large pny given
to our officers, hu is nut willing to attribute it lo any
feeling of liberality, of which hu regards democracies
us incapable, but refers it to necessity, ns were not
the officers well paid, no person would enter the tut-
voI service i.i n country* where the fuci.iricsqf obtain
ing u genteel subsistence arc so great. In speaking
ol'his interc.mrsc with the senior officers in the Amer
ican Nuvy, thu c;iptuiu pnys u just tribute to their
liberality, iutullig'iicc, uud gentlemanly deportment,
which he compares with the intolerance displayed
by persous on shore,—who, as he says, do nut uuucr-
stand what they talk about,—not much to thu ad
vantage of the latter. Tlm following am his remnrk*
in which we think he has ilono no more than justice
to the brave and enlightened class of men of .whom
he speaks:
" During my sojourn in the United States I be
came acquainted witli a large portion of thn senior
officers of the American navy, and I found them gif
ted, gentlemanlike, nnd liberal. With them I could
converse feely upon nil points relative to the last

could be expected The American naval officers

Capt. Harper, charged with enticing n man into

have idmv gathered more full pnrlicuhits, which un

It s.H-m* that nil Tuesday Inst the individual rob

named Liiilo, whom I), had never seen hiffnr", got

Alter the race was over, Dunherger started for lint

how it was that they had left the service of their na

It evinces n sympathy for the constitutional
r ights of the Sunlit which is not only cheering
to the patriot of thn 19tli century, hut exhibits in ^
bold relief iiie course of the Federal " Whigs" in

NEGLIGENT POSTMASTERS.
We, in common with our contemporaries, are often
mortified hy receiving letters like the following. It
is ccrtninly ton bad that after all tho labour and at
tention which is necessarily bestowed on a daily,
newspaper, that our desires should bo foiled, and the
public disappointed by the culpability or neglect of'
somo counfly postmaster, who fails to do his very
simple duty. We know, of course, tho post offices
through which tho paper directed to Mr.P. passes;
nnd if the offence is repeated, shall feel it our busi
ness! to seek redress in tho proper quarter. Wa-
mny, at the same time, asurc all our subscribers, that
their papers nro mailed carefully, and that no blame;
should be attached to those in our employment.
Here is tho letter—it speaks for itself.
Jacksonville, Ga. 27th March, 1839.
Dear Sin.—I do not receive more titan one num
ber in six of the Georgian. Is the fault in giving it
the right direction 7 Or how comes it 7 Is not my
address overlooked in preparing the papers for mail 7'
I wish you to be particular in my address, also
write upon tho wrapper for tho postmasters to let
it pnssonto me, for I have some apprehension it is
stopped by tho way. If I cannot get my papors I
must stop it, and subscribe for nnothcr that I can
receive.
The Georgian is a paper I like, not only on ac
count of its political sentiments—but for commercial ^
purposes. £
Very respectfully, yours, J. • P-
THE REPORT OF MR. YOUNG.
In this day's Georgian, we conclude the Report'-
of Mr. Young, of the Senate of New York on the '
Abolition Question. We believe every man who boa-
road that documont will agree with us that it it
ablest paper they have ever read on that 1
Its historical details show the research of its a
its close and logical argument exhibits his <
ability.
Mr Young is a democrat—a supporter of Mr.
Van Buren, and a man of very high character and
vast erudition Is it not cheering to us of the South, -
who have ever battled under tho republican flag, to
find such able lies amongst our Northern brethren T
What Whig of tho North couldl or if he could, dart
pronounce the truth* that Mr. Young has given ut
terance to 7 Not ono. Our opponents in this State
can produce no such evidence of devotiun to tho
South on the part of their Whig Allies of the North.
We ran show many. Mr. WmrrLX of Rhode, Is
land, Mr. Athehton, of New Hampshire, Mr.
‘ETntKEN, of Pennsylvania, Mr. Inoersoll, of tho
same State, Mr. Niles of Connecticut, Mr, Wright,
of New York, and last, though nut least, Mr Youxo,
also of the Empire State, have given irrefragable evi
dence of their attachment to tho South, in their oft-
repeated and noble defence other principles, W«
could enumerate others—all Democrats, who think
with the same mind, and speak with the stmo
voice, in support of our Southern Institutions, fat-
our opponents, If they can, show what sympathy motfc ••
cm Whigs hnve with (he Suuih, or her Institution!. •
Let them show when and where they defended B!»
