from France, brought by tlie ship Sully.—Paris

We fimlnothing by this arrival of material in

the proper head.
O’According to promise we give to our Rea
ders a statement of the advance of the Stute
Right’s Party, in our District. We have com
pared die return last year, with those of this year,
and now present the average vote of each party
in each county, for Congress, in each year, which
shews a diminished majority for the Unionists.

Iv.-ally.taken up, and that unless 1 chose to share
hie straw with one of the wagoners, who are ao-
"rustomed to sleep in their slumbering vehicles,
there was no resource for me, except to occupv
the lonely building, which had first caught my
• eye upon entering the hamlet. Upon inquiring

terrify me. Then as I recollected that there
was no one i- the village to carry such a trick in

could brace my hack against the door so as to
hold it agaiest any human assailant, who had on
ly his arms fora lever.
-The perspiration of mortal fear started thick
upon my forehead, as I .heard the supernatural
tread of tliut strange visitant approaching die
spot. It seemed ullage before his measured steps
brought him to the door, lie struck it—the
blow was sullen and hollow, aa if dealt by the
hand uf a corpse. It was like the dull sound of
his own feet upon the floor. He struck the door
again—and the blow was more feeble, and the
sound duller than before. Surely, 1 thought, the
hand of uo living man could produce such a
sound.
I know not whether it struck again—for new
its thick breathing became so loud, that even the
tnpanipgs which were mingled with every suspi-
ration, became inaudible. At last, they subsided
entirely—becoming at first gradually weaker, &
then audii at only in harsh, sudden sobs, whose
duration I cuithl not estimate, from their ming
ling with the blast which still swept the hillside.
The long, long uight had at last an end, and
the cheeringing sounds of tho awakening farm
yard, told me that the stilt was up, and that I

present highest market price. No transactions

Rice—There have been a few sales of fresh
beaten prime at $4 and 4j; other _quaUtiesjgo

new Cotton received up to date does no! vary
much from tlie quantity received this time twelve
mouths. ’Phe quality is algo about the saine,ana
we hear also nearly the same complaints oi tho
hurried and curel ss manner in which the ltr?(
few bales of the new crop have boen repared

prospects of the present season’s crop urq at this
time quite fair. Tho season, however, is con
sidered to he from three weeks to a mouth be
hind its usual progress. In lhe event ol early
IVosts there is much apprehension that the crop
will be cut short. The anticipated increase in
the amount ufCotton, should no accident hap
pen. will not in our opinion materially vary (no
price offlie article in this market. Tins opiiuou
too, we know to be in uceordanoo with that
most ofour merchants and brokers At the sum

to the planter, we cannot refrain front gnungo
advice that he should embrace the earliest ipp
