Georgia October Elections.
'rill? CfiOC K OF THE BtRMAT. TOWER.
[It is a fact mentioned in the newspapers, that during- the
late tire which destroyed part of the Tower of London,
the peat clock of the fortress was beaid to strike the hour,
flame]* ** an< * w ^'* e the dial plate was wrapped in
Woe to yon dusky fortress.
Reared by old British kings I
See!—what a Inrid brightness
The blaze around it Bings !—
The roots crash down, with thunder.
And around, armed soldiers stand,
To guard, from ruthless plunder,
The jewels of the land !
OT We are authorize*! to announce AAROIY
LESSEE as a candidate for Tax Collector of Bibb county,
at the Election in January next. Oct 10 2
O Time!—we pray thee, spare them!—
Those venerable walls!—
The voice of the departed,
For mercy on the calls.
But no!—the flame mounts higher,
Encircling wood and stone ;
The Old Clock, in his tower,
Stands up on high, alone.
Bark!—clear and loud that sentry
Rings out the passing hour ;—
Ah! never more that silver voice
Shall peal from London Tower!—
A crash 1—the rnin crumbles!—
Its glories now are past:
But oh ! I love that faithful clock,
On duty to the last.
Metliinks, a word of wisdom
Those smouldering rains tell:—
Happy the man. that ponders,
And reads that lesson well!—
Duty pursues thee, ever:—
And, e’en with dying breath,
Cling to that glorious motto—
"Be faithful unto death !”
As usual, things passed off very quietly du
ring the morning of the election, but in the af
ternoon, as was expected, fighting commenced.
Sticks were used profusely, and pistols were
not kept in their owners pockets. Hundreds
ofshillalehs were leveled at people’s, heads,
numbers of which were broke and fractured.
During one of the grand fights, seven pistols
were fired, one man received a ball in his
head, one in his mouth, one in his stomach and
ono in his leg. None of them were killed, hut
they all came pretty near it.—Savannah Her
ald, 4 th inst,

Prospect* of Cotton.
The following facts as to Cottoo would go to show that in
relation to this as to other vegetable productions, whenever
nature makes an extraordinary efTort one season, there is
almost sure to follow a falling ofT or relapae in the ensuing
•eason—as if she required time to recruit her exhausted
powers.
The instances are selected from statistics of the period
lince 1824, and are of thoae crops, only, showing an nnnsnal
over-production—thus:

. ’42-3, 2,378,000 inc. 695,000
1843-4, will be,say 1.800,000dec. 578,000
The above aingnlar coincidences, if they deserve to bo
**prded as nothing more, would go strongly to confirm the
’jjuversal impression in the Conon growing country, that
present crop will not be over 1,800.000 bales, and to
authorise the conclusion that this expectation may be
wan ted on tlaw of nature.
The unprophions season Tor planting—the injury sns-
■atned by the Cotton in its early growth, and its consequent
ackwsrdnesr—the influence these circumstances have
upen the production of all plants, not excepting this, ren
h impossible (without taking in view the chances of an
* rl J frost,) that a foil crop of Cotton can be made, and
5? w indeed, that it will be very much less than the crop
.Mtyear. If the crop be bat 1,800,000 bales, their must
" * considerable improvement in prices, and the prospects
. “>« planter are cheering, and should not be hastily
An3*V W *? by a too precipitate rash into the market.
1st 1 * len 'b® vest increase to the consumption which has
Brir , . en place (the neceasary consequence of low
L.-i '» considered, is it unreasonable to expect that* the
r cesof Cotton will go to 10, to 12 cents, or even higher!
The great increase in this crop arose in a measure from
‘“S« n*anuty of the previous crop held back.
"As to the Bank, General
Harrison's unqualified declar
ation that it was unconstitu
tional, is before you ; and
there is no reason to believe
that he is in favor of a nation
at bank in any form, for
he is assuredly opposed to a
government bank. As far as
we know or believe, fellow
citizens, GeneralHarrison has
but one opinion about a bank
and tl at is
AGAINST IT.

The closing of our last review left the market in a very
animated state, with considerable anxiety among purchas
ers to operate; the demand continued fur the first four day!
of the week, and sales were made at lull prices, and in
some instances an advance of jc. was obtained. The ac
counts received from New York on Thursday, not being as
favorable as was expected, and a decline ofa |c. being sta
ted in the Charleston market, the market has since been
very flat, buyers shewing no disposition to purchase except
at some concession, which holders do not seem disposed to
yield. The market closes very quiet without any apparent
change in prices. We quote inferior to ordinary, 6) a 6£ ;
middling, 7) a 7); middling fair, 8 ; fair 8); and good fair,
8 j cents.
