IfOB rUKSIDENT OF ME UNITED STATES.
joHN C. CALHOUN,
FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
I,EVi UvODlilliY.
t r
Errata in our pievions numoer.
AVe appeal to tlie clemency of our rea
irs to panlon a couple of most out of
e way blunders and a desperate attempt
punning perpetrated in onr last week’s
iblicatron. In noticing the defeat of the
dy candidates of the poor Loco tocos,
iu said one was Waterloo’d, this was in
|;iiiy copies bedewced into >.-aterhauled
think of that master Brook !1! Again,
speaking of the chivalrous, generous
K ! impartial style the majority district-
I the State, we say ‘the districting bill
■ 1 other matters;’ this appears in the
■pies referred to ‘districting, matters,
Ij,,!]; Whether this awful botheration of
Be types arose from the confusion ac-
Bmpanying the holidays, the soporific
beminibing effects of our uncomfor
glile weather, or, (we hate to say it, but
it must out.) from the indistinctness of
a istily written manuscript, we have no
liclination to determine. Another meta
liorphis was committed in the number
■receding the last —we had written ‘the
liuse for which Hampden and Sydney
jail our own Warren bled and died’ our
I..vn Warren, appeared in the print
lour own warriors.’ But thank the stars
lur proof reader, no longer bewildered
[vith the good tilings of Christmas, will,
Ivc trust, prevent the necessity of further
Ipology on tiiis head—we have sins
Inough to answer for on other scores to
lisk the indulgence of our friends and
jhe candour of the public. These we
Khali always need, and for their extension
|o ourselves shall always be grateful.—
L\s for the desperate joke‘The whigs
lot a Trap and caught Gates,’ Shade of
■oe Miller, isn’t that terrible ?
I Our worst foe would not charge ns
Ikviili its paternity. H"v it crept into the
■air end of our columns, tin; devil that is
I art and parcel of every printing office,
■ onld, we suspect, throw some light on
■the subject.
( Hut hang it, why make a fnssification
lehout the misplacement of a few letters
Ivdiere millions were to be collocated in
[u topsy-turvy world like ours where all is
I misplaced and deranged ? here detn
loerats are acting like and with modern
I whigs and modern whigs contending for
I the doctrines of the old lories in this
[country and the present tory party in
I In gland—where the smaller is preferred
to-tiie greater -where Harrison was pre
ferred to Van Huron, and the latter to the
greatest, statesman and purest patriot of
the asse —where gnzzeliiiii colicky pota
tions of hard cider, residence in a log
cahin decorated with coon skins and pep
pers, were considered by a vast majority
of seventeen millions of republican citt
erns as the indubitable credentials of the
superlative fitness of the occupant to lie
their chief magistrate—a world where it
Washington nnd Jefferson were again to
be restored to their country, they would
beset down as obsolete, and have to suc
cumb to the blustering, over-rated hum
bug of Kentucky; a world where no pru
dent man who well observes the signs of
the times would advance five pet* cent, of
its value on an estate, bis title to which
ilt’jMjndcd on the continuance of the
union.
Views at the beginning of 1814.
We have been informed that stimula
ting and intoxicating powders arc manu
factured and vended in this city—from
their effects, it is presumable, they resem
ble in composition, the stupifying and
inebriating compound called bang, to
which the drunkards of the Eastern
countries are so infatuatedly addicted, or
the opium lozenges, sold at tlielow bazars
and Caffes in Constantinople.
The bang contains opium extract of
Cocculus indents and the Hemp plant
and other noxious ingredients mingled
with sugar and spices. The effects of
all these preparations are similar. They
all induce prematurely, the decrepitude
and incapacities of extreme age—last
scene of all, that ends this strange, event
ful history, second childishness and
mere oblivion. To the sad phenomena
of natural decay—these ills, that flesh is
heir to, are superadded in ihe drug
drunkard’s case the cadaverous palor of
the maudlin countenance, the carrion
foeter of the breath, the beamless eye, the
livid lip, the starting, trembling frame,
the ever-varying alternations from imbe
cility to irritation, from stupor to horror,
from fatuity to frenzy, iVc. <fcc. Such
are the penalties reckless indulgence in
flicts on her deluded votaries, til! percep
tion and sensation arc so enfeebled, the
still living carcass becomes but little more
than the tomb of the soul. In this wreck,
this utter desolation of the physical man,
what becomes of the spirit ?
The reply would involve the myste
ries of the grave and the terrors of a fu
ture to us inscrutable. The extreme ca
ses we have endeavored to depict though
in other lands not unfrequent are, thank
God, in this country comparatively rare.
But we have met with instances, where
the fiend was so identified with the squa
lid wretchedness of the suffering sinner,
that nothing but the maternal storgn,
the unquenchable affection of a mother,
or that Christian charity that never fail
eth, could prevent feelings of loathing
and abhorrence mingling with those of
compassion.
In what terms of deep-toned execration
should those cold-blooded miscreants,
those traitors to the human race and to
heaven be denounced, who as principals
prepare, or as accessories vend articles,
whose continued use deprave the handy
work of the Almighty into a disgusting
ruin, poison the soul, erase from man’s
heart the image of the Holy One and re
place it by that of the prince of darkness?
The extreme cases described, are hap
pily not frequent. But who has not seen
instances more or less closely approach
ing them? Does not every day furnish
them? Is not every habitual drunkard
an illustration of them? What has be
come of the Washingtonians? What of
the pledges to total abstinence? Have
the recreant multitude turned like swine
to their wallowing in the mire ? Why
sleep the thunders of the pulpit against
the fast increasing practice of intoxica
tion on this renewed advent of the evil
one? Why stand the moral and reli
gious, with folded arms all the day idle
without extending a finger to stay this
worse than Egyptian plague? Do they
not see their streets again crowding with
places devoted to the worship of Intem
perance, a demon whose ravages are infi
nitely more terrible than the immolations
to the hellish idol Juggernaut, under the
carnage-stained wheels of whose chariot
thousands are crushed annually.
Would a word of power could be spo
ken that might awaken not only those
we are addressing, but the whole Amer
ican people from their slumberous apathy
and thrill to their hearts the conviction,
that there is a point in the career of God
forgetling and God-neglecting nations,
as in the case of individuals, at which he
leaves them to their own devices—and
that, though monarchies and despotisms
may exist indefinitely, while selfishness
and corruption reign within, but that a
republic, without high morals, self-sacri
ficing patriotism and a strong controlling
sense of Religion prevailing among the
majority of her citizens, is based on sand
and destined but to a brief duration. If
these are not truths, then are sacred and
profane history fables.
Revolutionary Anecdote.
In the latter part of the year 1779, and
the early part of ’SO, while the army re
mained in their winter cantonments, it
was remarked by Washington’s military
family, that when the weather was favor
able a confidential servant of the general
entered at precisely the same time, soon
after dusk, made bis obeisance and de
parted—that shortly after, the command
er-in-chief withdrew, bending his course
towards a large extent of woodland, at
some distance from the camp; that be
entered and was absent about half an
hour. These proceedings occasioned
some anxiety and no ordinary degree of
curiosity among the officers—the young
er and more reckless, judging by them
selves, threw out sly insinuations, that
there was a petticoat implicated. The
graver and better disposed portion who
better understood, thoroughly confided
in the lofty and immaculate puritj of
their commander’s character, repelled the
slander with contempt and indignation.
No one presumed to ask questions.
Two young officers, one from S. Car
olina, the other from Virginia, who were
united by the warmest attachment to
each other, determined to solve the
enigma.
The general’s path was sought, found,
and traced to its terminus a majestick
oak, growing in the centre of a small,
open space, for the magnates of nature,
like those of society, permit not the too
near approach of their inferiors.
Positions were selected, whence the
observers could discern what passed near
the tree without being themselves visi
ble. These preparations being made,
on the first favorable occasion, the wea
ther fine for the season and the young
moon shedding but a feeble light over
the landscape the officers repaired, se
cretly, to their posts and perceived their
commander, not engaged in soft, illicit
' dalliance with some frail fair one, but his
arms folded on his breast, pacing slowly
backward and forward, absorbed in pro
found meditation—after several minutes
thus passed he sunk upon his knees,
what a spectacle! the young men were
awe-stricken ; there in the depths of the
primeval forest, surrounded by the mys
teries of night and nature, his compan
ions solitude and silence, his witnesses;
the bright-eyed watchers of the starry
host, there, like the Hebrew leader of the
chosen people, in the hallowed seclusion
of Mount Sinai knelt Washington in spi
ritual communion with God—in fervent
supplication at the foot stool of the mercy
seat, for the deliverance of his country
from foreign bondage, and strength and
wisdom to himself for completing the
perilous, but Providence-assigned task.—
Yes, there knelt the humble, devout
Christian, the sage, the hero, the hope of
his fellow-citizens and the oppressed of
all nations, the mighty leader, the bane
of despots ; ultimately the deliverer and
father of his country, the foremost man
of all this world, the man in all the hoary
registers of time without a rival and
without a shadow, Washington, worship
ping in the temple of the illimitable Uni*
verse.
What a scene ! Can fancy amid her
happiest creations; imagination in her
proudest, loftiest efforts, picture aught
fuller of heart purifying, soul-exalting,
holier sublimity?
It’s mental contemplation is associated
with feelings above and beyond the rou
tine of our present existence, and evinces
that the likeness of the Eternal is not yet
effaced from human nature —even that,
is a ray from the light of heaven, and an
antepast of man’s immortality.
Is there one free heart so cold and
dead as not to glow at the recollection
that Washington was in the totality of
his nature, character, personalities and
habits, body and soul, purely American
—not an atom of foreign alloy in the
glorious aggregate.
Oh! for the advent, ofanotherWash
ington to rescue his country from its pre
sent perils.
<*raml Concert.
The four llerren Arnold, the emi
nent Ge-man musicians and vocalists,
(lately arrived from Europe) will give a
CONCERT in our city , as we are in
formed, within a short time.
It affords us much gratification to make
the following extract from a letter, writ
ten by the celebrated Prima Doma
Madame Otto, commendatory of the mu
sical talents of these? gentlemen :
“ It is with sincere pleasure I introduce to you my
countrymen, the Hkuken Arnold, whose musical
talent is of the first eminence, amt whose highly
finished performances cannot fail to elicit y >ur admi
ration. -
Their quart-tins especially are the choicest and
most scientific productions of modern times; amt
rarely indeed have I listened to such sweet harmo
nics. I feel proud, therefore, at having this opportu
nity of commending these gentlemen anti artistes to
you, and hope you may have it in your power to en
joy much of their enchanting music.”
These complimentary remarks, coming
from a lady so distinguished in her pro
fession as Madame Otto, lead tls to expect
something very extraordinary.
Congressional Election.
We give all the returns we have been
able to obtain, for the election of a mem
ber of Congress.

COTTON MARKET.
MACON Jan. 10th, 1841.
Our market for the week past has re
mained without any Change worthy of
remark, the quantity coming in has been
small and operations consequently light.
We quote principal sales 7 1-2 a 8 i 2

CHARLESTON January 6.
We have taken an account of stuck, and would
refer the proper head fur the result. The stock of
Upland carefully collected from the wharves and
store-houses, but there are fully 3000 hales in the
hands of persons from whom we coaid obtain no in
formation, which added to our estimate, will make
the stork 46,925 hales
COTTON. —The cxeitement which has perva
ded the Upland market tor some time past, has sub
sided, as the oppositions in the article throughout
the week just closed do not exceed 0300 hales, which,
it must be admitted, is trilling enough for the season.
In our report of Saturday last, we stated that al
though the transactions of the two prereedin;r days
hail been light, former prices had been sustained ; and
such has continued the case throughout the present
week—holders would not submit to lower terms, and
pureba*ers refused to operate to at y extent, at the
quotations given in our review of the 30th ultimo:—
In the present state of the market, quotations must
be considered nominal. The receipts of the week
are 0437 hags, anil the sales are as follows;—10 at
8; 14 at 8 1-8; iK) at 8 1-4; 123 at 8 14; 40 at 85-8;
554 at 83-4; 520 at 87-8; 414 at 9; 178 at 9 1 4; and
104 bales at 9 1-2. The sales of Sea Island as far
a* we have lieen able to ascertain, are 114 hags at
the following prices 2at 21; 29 at 23; G3 from 25 to
40; 29 from 2G to 30; 8 at 20 1-9; 13 from 30 to 40;

Correspondence of the Courier.
Per the Hibernia.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.
The present conveyance carries out
important news in relation lo Cotton ; as
will have been noticed from our late cir
culars, a feeling of speculation, founded
upon data, entirely local, has been mani
fest in this city for some months past ;
but. up to the date of our last circular, no
evidence had reached us of a similar
spirit, from any of the Southern Cities,
since then however, wc have received
accounts from every section of the coun
try of a large and important advance
having taken place in the price of Cotton,
and heavy of>erations have been entered
into, chiefly by speculators; the origin
and basis of this moment being die wet
and unfavorable weather experienced for
picking in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkan
sas, and West Tennessee, and the belief
in a consequent diminution of the sup*
ply at N w-Orleans, from the amount
calculated upon early in the season. In
New-Orleans particularly, the price has
been carried up by speculation, until
their quotations are quite as high as those
of this Market, orders have been sent
thence to Mobile, to Savannah, and to
Charleston, and even in this market,
purchases have been made on New Or
leans account. Much less Cotton is in
process of shipment to Great Britain tfian
at the same time, for mmy years past,
and the exports for the next month must
show a very great falling off, compared
with last year.
By the ‘* New York Classification” we
quote Uplands, very ordinary to middling
7 3 4 to S a 8 l-2c. per lb.; fair to good
fair and good, 9 1-4 to 9 3-4 a 11c. per
lb.; Tennessees and Alabamas, 7 3-4 to
10 l-2c.; Mobiles, Louisiaiins, &c., ordi
nary to middling, 8 to 9c. per lb.; fair to
good fair. 9 3-4 to 10 all 1-2; good and
line, 11 to 12 1-2 a 13 1-2 cents.
Sales for the week ending Dec. lGth,
12,000 bales; of which 1,000 were for
consumption, 4,000 for shipment, and
6,000 for speculation.
Soles for the week ending Dec. 23
20.500 bales; of which 1,000 were foi
consumption, 5,000 for shipment, and
44.500 for speculation.
Sales for the 26th, and 2Sth Dec.,
8,1)00 bales ; of which 500 were for con
sumption, 1,000 for shipment, and 0,500
for speculation.
The Market. —Our last report of the
market was made up for the Aeadia on
the l lth insta 11, since which, the anima
tion then noticed, lias continued and
somewhat increased. The sales since
the 14lh instant, have been on an average
of over 3000 bales per day, at gradually
improving prices; and we low quote
the market as 1-2 to 5-Sc. higher than on
that date. In our circular of the 14th
November, we gave it as our opinion that
the present crop would be about 1.8,00,-
000 bales ; we came to that conclusion
from the best information derived from
the cotton growing region, and we have
seen no reason since, sufficient to induce
any alteration.
EXCHANGE*. —Two months ago
it was confidently expected that the rate
of Exchange on England, would be
down to 7 per cent, or less, and many
purchasers kept their funds in Bank,
hoping to buy at this rate. Had the ex
ports of Cotton been proportionate to the
receipts, or near the amoiu.t of former
years, each would doubtless have been
the result. English and French ship
pers being almost mere spectators in the
Southern markets, the supply of Bills
has lieen moderate, and the rates have
again advanced to over 100 percent.—
Since the arrival of the Hibernia, large
operaftons have been made commencing
at 108 1-4 to 109 1-4. The Banks have
large amounts of specie in their vaults,
and should a call be made upon them, it
will create no uneasiness ; many of them
are furnishing Exchange on London at
109 a 109 1-4 per cent. The demand for
Exchange is sorfiewhat increased by the
dividefids falling due on the Ist January
There is not much doing in Domestic
Exchanges.
