Cotton Market.
Owing to the bad weather for one or two days, our
market has been less crpwdecj this week than usual.
It, h wvever, was more animated yesterday—a good
deal was in. competition was brisk, and sales were ef
fected at 17 cents. Principal sales at 16£ a 16).
ID" Our subscribe' in Crawford, who complains of
not getting his paper nftener than once in three weeks,
is informed, that it ia punctually forwarded to him
from this office every Thursday, in the Knoxville pac
ket. If it does not reach him, it is the fault of Uncle
Sam. or some of his strikers, and they should be held
responsible We have lost many a good subscriber
through the carelesneas or knavery of Uncle Sam’s
men; it is time they were overhauled. Such subscri
bers as do not get their papers on enquiring at the
post-office for them, should observe the hints which
went the rounds of the newspapers tome months ago;
and we doubt not the evil would be stopped.
After a long spell of dry. dusty weather, it set in to
rain on Sunday night; and continued with little inter
mission all Monday and Menday night. Though a
good deal of rain fell, owing to the great droughtiness
of the earth, which absorbed it as fast as it touched it3
surface, we fear it will scarcely affect our river, which
needs it an much.
The weather has become cool enough to render a
fire neoessary; though we have seen no frost since the
morning of the 5th.

It appears from the aspectof the returns already re
ceived. that the recent Election has resulted disastrous
ly to the Union Congressional Ticket. From the coun
ties beard from, this ticket is about 2010 votes, be
hind ; and the probability is, that the remaining coun.
ties will not materially vary the result.
However much this result is to be deplored, we can
not say it was alloge-.her unexpected. Premonitions
of unsuccess were felt fiom the first; and they con
tinued to strengthen as the contest approached.
Though we have lost (probably,) our Congressional
Ticket, it by no means indicates a decline of the Union
party A great many causes may be assigued for our
temporary defeat, which cannot operate at any future
election. We shall still have a majority iu the Legis
lature—still wield the power of the State; and may
still preserve its institutions from ruthless violence.—
This temporary reverse will but tend to make us more
united, more firm and more invincible, at any succeed
ing struggle.
We repeat it, the stability of the Union party was
never on a firmer basis than now: the cloud that at
present overshadows its prospects will soon be dissi
pated; when they will appear with tenfold brightness.
The present defeat argues nothing against the success
of theircandidate for the Presidency. Any one who
remembers the disadvantages under which our ticket la
bored, all the abuse heaped upon it, all the charges it
had to coutend against; will be surprised, not that it
was defeated; but. that it ran so well! Identified as
the Ticket was, with Martin Van Bunn and Richard
M. Johnson, it had to bear, besides it* own sins,
(which, God knows, were made to appear black e-
nough!) their sins also! And when we consider how
very odious these names were made to appear, and the
early antipathy of many of the party to them, e-en
this defeat may be considered a triumph. It shows
how strong Van Buren is in Georgia; and with how
little exertion he may get the vote of the State.
Let our friends be 'admonished by the recent Elec
tion ; Let them not feel too secure in the strength of
numbers, norin the justice of their eause ; but been
ergelic and active—feel determined to succeed—and
succeed they will.
Among other causes, the death of Gen Coffee had
considerable influence in defeating the Union Con
gressional Ticket A friend writes to us from Telfair,
that “Gen. t oflee’s death; and the opposition having
no candidates out; caused a very thin elution in Tel'
fair and Irwiu counties.”
P. S. Siuce the above was in type, returns from
several additional counties have been received—which
considerably lessen the majority for the State Rights
ticket. Our hopes for the success of the Union ticket
begin to revive.

with the hues of the darker and rougher passions of
our nature. It grows out of the practice of that sub

And although, in our intercourse with »he world, we
may often meet with men who do not deserve the benefit
of this generous sentiment—yet an attempt to practice
it, is always due to ourselves.
We do not therefore look upon the abduction of our
printers, as a matter “in which the public are noway
concerned:” for it involves a violation of those princi
ples of honor and courtesy, upon the observance of
which, society is alone held together. It involves a vi
olation of thosp principles of honor and fairness in
action, which should be observed even between hostile
individuals, and hostile communities; and without
some regard to which nature would present a sicken
ing pictuto of reckless strife, and heartless contention,
unrelieved by a single beam to redeem it from total
shadow and darkness.”

To the Editor of the Macon Telegraph.
Talbo county, October 4, 1636
Our election has resulted in a complete triumph of
the Union and Jackson cause, though, T regret to say
a most dreadful rencounter ensued in the afternoon.
Our fellow citizen, Col. Frederick Bailey, in trying
to suppress a riot, was skot at; the bail passed thro’
the crown of his'hat, and wounded a Mr. Bradbury
who stood iu the rear of Col. Bailey. Long, who dis
charged the pistol, retreated; the Col. drew liis knife
and pursued him a few paces, but was knock'd down
by Ixmg’s frieuds. the Nullifies, and dreadfully bruis
ed, but as he rose a pistol was handed to him; lie fired
at Long at the distance of forty or fifty feet, and shot
him through the body. The wound I hope, will not
prove mort .1, though Long richly deserved his fate —
The individual who leveled the Col. when pursuing
Long, with a cudgel, we are happy to say, received,
from the hand of the Col. a blow that will accompany
him to the grave. His Nullification is of the most pu
sillanimous, vile characer: to aim a deadly blow at a
high minded, honorable man, who was acting the part
of a peace maker, without any provocation, merely
ou account of a difference of political opinion, is too
base We regret to say that Richard Bailey, in resett
ing his brother from the mob, was severely wounded.
He was held by Philip Long while Bitckanuan, a vag
abond, stabbed him in several places. None are in
danger but William Long who commenced the show,
and lor him there is but little sympathy in this commu
nity. The Nullifiershere delight in blood and carnage,
blit when they run against the Baileys they get gaol-
A more determined, braver family never existed;
young Dick is a Julius Cssar. When his arm was
cut and paralyzed so that he could not fire his se
cond pistol, be threw it to the Col and told him to
kill the damn rascal Buckannan. at whom the Col. fir
ed as he run, but unfortunately missed him Thun
terminated one uf the most alarming riots ever wit
nessed in our village.
SCRAPS.
Whoever feels pain in hearing a gooij character of
his neighbor, will feel pleasure in the reverse: and
those who despair of rising to distinction by their vir
tues are happy if others can be depressed to a level
with themselves.
Men of nice honor without one grain of common ho
nesty, (for such there are) are wonderfully combusti
ble. The honorable is to support and protect the dis
honest part of their character. The consciousness of
their guilt makes them both sore and jealous.

RAIL ROAD CONVENTION AT MACON.
Our citizens should not forget this important
Convention- A meeting should beheld ou Mon
day at furthest, and Delegates appointed. There
is uo time to be lost, for unless we move, and
that quickly, other counties in the Stato may
also neglect it and that, which should he au im
posing body representing the whole State, may
he a failure. We cannot believe that Georgians'
amid the din of politics, will forget their true—
their vital iuterest. The action of the present
Legislature will determine, iu a great measure,
whether we are to act as one people, or to be
split, as hertofore, ill opposing interests. Let the
Convention at Macon be composed of Delegates
from every county iu the State, and the facts and
arguments they tv ill bring to the uotice of the
people and the Legilature, will claim for the sub
ject an attention, which “ill be productive of
great results.—Savannah Georgian.

The Apalachicola Gazette, in complaining o the

them for the benefit of the craft generally—having
been ourselves, as often as once, a sufferer fiom the
same unprofessional practice: Not, we will add from
a political enemy, of whom we expected no favors;
but from political/rirnds of whom we had reason to
expect better things!

Important.—We copy below the “ I*. S.” to a
letter received from Quintana, dated 19th Sep
tember. 1836. The Independence is here and has
no provisions, she was chased by two Mexican
brigs, the Arhivedes and Privilegio ; aud say
that 4000 Mexicans are ou the march for Texas.
We give below a list of the elections so far as
received, and regret not being iu possession of
more information ou the subject; owing to the
votes in the army, &c. not having come to hand,
we are unable to say who are elected for this
county, excepting Dr. B.T. Archer, who is cer
tainly one of the representatives. Geu. Samuel
Houston, so far as we have learned has received
a lajge majority of the votes for President. Mi-

pursuance of orders received to that effect from
the Mexican Government. We give this as a re
port, for we have not yet learned it in a mauner
which will enable us to give it as possilive fact.
We are at a loss to assign motives for so barbarous
a proceeding seeing that their conduct with re
gard to Col. Fauuiu and bis men was so loudly
i-oudemoed by the whole world, and especially
by the foreign ministers residing at Mexico; for
ihe sake of humanity we hope that the report is
incorrect, * ** ’
New-Orleans, Oct. 6.
As we anticipated, lndiau difficulties are likely
to arise on our Western borders.
The Governor of Arkansas has found it ueces-
sary to call out ihe able bodied men of the stale,
iu order to be organized into companies lor the
protection of the inhabitants, from some threat
ened proceedings ou the part of ihe Creeks and
Cherokees, who have recuutly emigrated west ol
the Mississippi.
We fear that we have just entered upon our In
dian disturbances, and until the Goverumet acts
with energy and promptitude iu securing our wes
tern frontiers tiy proper defences, we shall regard
ihe borders of the Western and {south Western
States, as in the vicinity of worse than volcanic
eruptions.
JUDGE WHITE.
The Judge accepted the nomination of the Whigs
of Georgia, outlie 30th of May, in a letter .vhicli is
just published—aud he tells the people lhat he believ
ed “the el "ctiou of a Chief Magistrate ought to be t;.e
work of the people themselves," S(c. S(c. Therefore, his
political friends had originally his consent to use his
uauie—and he yet sees 110 reason for believing he had
“fallen into any error.” Is the Judge still blind—or
was he insincere I Surely he ought to see that his
name is only used to defeat, if possible, an election by
the people and throw it in the House.
The Judge will find, when it is too late, that he has
committed one egregious error, viz abandoning the
best friend he had'iti the word, to throw himself into
the arms of a party who are now abandoning him for
Gen Harrison. The very Whig paper in this eily,
which once pledged itself to support him. is now quit
ting him for Harrison—and the Whig committee of
Illiuois, on the 5th iust. is "dopting a double ticket, re
lying upon the Electors of Judge White that “in the
event of Gen. Harrison receiving more votes in other
States than Judge White they wdlgive the vote ofthi:
state to Harrison.” According to present appearan
ces, the Judge will soon have to repeat the pathetic so
liloquy of the abandoned Cardinal Wnlsey: “Fare
well ! a long Farewell to all my greatness,” &c &c.
Richmond Enq.
New Application of Electricity.—We noticed not
long since, in a foreigu journal, a wager between a
London scientific gardener, and a celebrated cook,
that the former would produce a handsome salad and
cress from the seed, before the latter could cook, in good
style, a leg of mutton to be eaten with the salid. The
wager was won by the gardener. The process was to
immerse the seed for a time in oxymuriatic acid, then
sow it in a light soil letting it be covered with a metai-
ic cover, and briugiug into contact with the whole ail
electrical machine. By the same agent hen’s eggs,
which require tiventv or twenty-one days to hatcli by
animal heat, have been hatched in a few hours. Water
apparently free front any auitnaicuia;, in an hour can
be rendered full of iivitig insects. It has long been
Suspected lhat yvhiit is called electro-magnetism per
formed a prominent part in the formation and growth
of animal and vegetable matter, and these experiuient-
would seem to place the matter beyond adoubt. Should
these results be confirmed by furtlier experiments, a
new erea in physiology, both vegetable and animal, may
bo considered as commenced, aud another step taken
iu drawipg ; tlie veil'which shrouds the mysterious op
erations in the inner courts of the temple of nature.—
Genesee Farmer.
Convict rc taken.—The Boston Courier of yesterday
says—“That Jacob H. Edwards, one of the convicts,
and principal instigator of the escape from the State's
Prison, on Saturday night last, was taken yesterday
efternoon.in the woods in Saugus and safely conduc
ted back to prison.'*
The Western Frontier.—ft appears by information
derived by the St. Louis Bulletin from the Arkai sas
pers that a requisition has beentnade by Gen. Arbuckie
011 the state for troops to quell the disturbances existing
among the recently emigrated Greek and ■ herokees,
originated as is supposed by the rival ciaims of Rely
M’lutosh and Nea Muthla to the chtefalty of the nation.
Under the impression that the conflict might become
one of a sanguinary character, and involving the safe
ty of the frontier, Gen. Arbuckle has made the requi
sition, and it is believed that in no other emergency
thau an actual infringement of the rights of the border
settlers, will the General consider himself authorized to
interfere.
' The troops ordered into service, together with the
Governor and hbr Aids, proceeded on flte 25th, to Fort
Towson, where they are to be armed and equipped,
and will doubtless be ordered across to Fort Gibson, to
await general orders. No one seems for a mom* tit
to entertain the idea that these troops will be required
on our Mexican frontier."
The last Arkansas Gazette says: “ We learn, by a
letter from an intelligent gentleman residing in one of
the Indian nations west of Arkansas, that the Indian
country at this time is in a state of considerable excite
ment. The Creeks aud Cherokees have held a secret
council, at which it is believed they formed an alliance
to snstainthe present Creek Chief, Roly McIntosh, in
authority, against the claims of Nea Mathla. who was
the second Chief of all the Creeks east, and is now at
the head of a numerous band of his people approach
ing their new country west. A great National Ball-
play took place, a few days ago, in a remote part of
the Cherokee nation, where it is supposed their plans
were developed to the great body of the Cherokee
people: But nothing has as yet happened, or is likely
to happen, to disturb the slumber of the good people
of Arkansas.”
\ye learn from the Washingtonian, that it is in con-
te.Riplation to establish, in the heart of the City of Wash
ington, a Cotton Factory that will be iinsurpa’ssed in
the Uniuu for extent of usefulness. The extensive
buildings of Mr. Wm. Stone, on the corner of 11th
street and Pennsylvania Avenue is proposed to he
used for the purpose.—Richmond Enquirer
A horid and new mode of Suicide.—A double suicide
uf a most shocking and extraordinary description ha-
lately, taken place a few leagues from Campaigne A
Mr. L. who resides in the neighborhood of Venetiand
Marigny, shuthimaelf up with a female in a small out
building detached from his principal dwelling, and,
having besmeared their bodies frith turpentine, they
placed themselves on a heap of faggots, and set fire to
the pile. When the flames were perceived, assistance
immediately arrived, and the troops uf the garrison ot
Compeigne hastened to the spot; but it >vas too lHte— 1
the bodies were already consumed. It was stated that 1
pistols were found lying on the spot.
It is difficult to conceive of a more horrid character,
than the one described in the following paragraph:
‘‘A carpenter by the name of Mendt, at Rostock.
Germany is going to take bis trial for having poisoned
his mother, for having attempted to poison his uiothet-
in-law. for having poisoned his wife, for having tried to *
poison seven persons of his household, among whom
was his apprentice Hecaer, for arson, and for several
etnbezzelments.’*— London Paper.
Supposed Volcano at Sea.— An intelligent shipmaster
writes from the < oast of California, that on his passage
out “ on Thursday, April 9. 1836, in lat 6 N. Ion. 99
West, we observed some little things floating by the
ship, which on examination proved to be small stones,
r sembliug pumice stones. From their appearance I
should suppose they were of volranic origin. We
sailed upwards of fifty miles through them, thinly scat
tered oVer the face oi the sea.
' We were about 540 miles from the Continent, 600
from Gallipagos and 600from Clipperton Rock. The
North East trade winds prevail in the latitudes. I can
form no satisfactory opinion whence they came, ex
cepting from some volcanic eruption at the bottom of
the Ocean. As I send you specimens, you can for
ward them to the learned prof Silliman.
