WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10. 1844. 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.

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 a 8 3-4.- 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; ami 9 stained do. at 124-2 cts. per lb. 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.
