Troubles la Kaaiai
The President yesterday received a dispatch
(him Governor Shannon of Kausas, asking for aid
to suppress the outbreak between the slavery and
anti-slavery parties in the Territory of Kansas.—
The President immediately ordered troops from
the nearest points in the West, to preserve tho
public peace.
Foreign Items.
Our relations with England remained unohnn-
ged. Mr. Buchanan writes that the British Cabi
net is endeavoring to patch up a reply in reference
to the violation of our neutrality laws.
Denmark has made a proposal to substitute an
ad valorem tax upon cargoes passing the Sound in
the place of the present Dues, which has been re
jected by our government.
Steamboat Disaster.
New Orleans, Doc. 3.
The steamers May Flower, George Collier and
Wharf Boat, have oecn burnt at Memphis. It is
reported that several lives were lost.
Domestic Markets.
New Orleans, Dec. 3
Cotton has declined Jc. Middling is quoted at
tt* The ib-iunihip Florida. Capt. Woo.lhu11,from New
York, arrived at her wharf 11 A. M. yesterday. We are
under obligations to her Purser, for New York evening
papers of Saturday.
EST* The new steamer Augusta, Capt. Qould, left
this morning, on her first ttip to Augusta, with 160
ton* freight. Thus laden, she drew but 33 iuches
water.
'.T-ft* The attention of shippers and masters of
vessels is directed to the sale of furniture and rigg
ing of the hark Mentor, advertised to be sold at
Darien the 8th inst.
% J&f* We have received from Professor John Le j
Conte a communication in answer to an article pub
lished by Dr. Church, President of tho State Uni
versity, in the Macon Telegraph, some weeks ago.
That both gentlemen may bo heard, and that the
public may fully understand the subject matter in
controversy between them, we shall publish the
Utter of each. Dr. Church's will ho found in our
present issue, and Prof. Lc Cojjtc’s will appear to
morrow.
It having been rumored yesterday that a
Mrs. Mary Fitzpatrick came to hor death by foul
play, an investigation of the case by the Coroner
was ordered. The remains of tho deceased were
accordingly detained as they were befog placed in
the coffin for interment, and a jury of inquest im
panelled. No cvidcnco having liccn adduced that
she had been violently dealt with, and Dr. Rend
testifying that he had been for several weeks past
her attending physician, treating her for con
sumption, the jury rendered a verdict that deceased
came to her death by said disease.
Good Dividends.—It will Iks seen from the no
tice published elsewhere that the Marine Bank of
this city has declared a semi-annual dividend of se
ven per cent, payable on demand.
The Central Hail Road and Banking Company
has also declared a dividend of five per cent, on
tho operations of the last six months.
Min Reeder’s Benefit.
This young actress is so great a favorite with the
play-goers of Savannah that wo need only an
nounce her Benefit this evening to secure a largo
attendance. She appears in acbarac'tr waich, to
our taste, she has played with greater success than
any other she has undertaken during her engage
ment.
Disturbance In Kansas.
The controversy between the slavery and anti-
alavery population of Kansas has assumed an
alarming aspect, presenting, in a great measure, the
appearance of civil war. In explanation of tho
telegraphic dispatch from Washington stating that
Gov. Shannon had called on tho President for mil
itary aid to subdue the disturbance in thnt territo
ry, we annex the following facts as embraced in n
previous dispatch from St. Louis, bearing date the
30th ult.—It says :
We have accounts from Independence to-day,
stating that the armed free State men, had attempt
ed to drive Mr. Coleman, a pro-slavcry settler, from
his claim near Hickory Point.
Mr. Coleman killed one of his ossnilants, when a
mob gathered together, drove him and other set
tlers off, and then burned down their houses. The
ringleader in this was arrested by Marshul Jones,
and taken to Lccompton.
Gov. Shannon has called out the Militia.
Many citizens from Independence, Weston, and
St. Josephs have gone to offer their services to the
Governor to restore order. Tho pcoplo of Law
rence are in arms, and have five pieces of artillery.
A number of houses have been burnt in Dou
glass county, and several families driven to Missou
ri for refuge.
Tho law and order |x>ople of the Territory are
rallying in large numbers to assist the Sheriff in
the execution of the laws. Sixteen houses were
burned at Hickory Point, and several of the citi-
sens were missing.
This unhappy state of affairs is deeply to bo de
plored ; and we rejoice that the emigrants from the

Tha President of the Senate being abeent, the
Hon. A. J. Miller, was elected President, pro tom.
The Senate took up nod passed the bill amenda
tory of the 3rd Bm. Art in, of the Constitution,
which had previously passed the llouso. It givea
tho elMtion of Attorney and Solicitors General to
the people; and also adds another section to the
Constitution, vesting the power to change names,
legitimate persons, establish ferries, chango pro
ducts, and attend to othor small business in the
Superior and Inferior Courts.
The Scuate then made a vigorous attack upon
tho resolutions on its desk, the growth of several
weeks.
Resolution of Mr. Atkinson, requesting our rep-
rosentatives in Congress to urge the establishment
of a naval depot at Brunswick, taken up. Mr.
Spalding offered a substitute providing for a sur
vey to ascertain what point on our coast was beet
adapted to the purpose, oud said tho Harbor of
Sapelo had been favorably reported on. He wish
ed its claims to bo considered. Substitute lost, and
resolution agreed to. Mr. Peoples and Geu. Peter
Cone, supported tho substitute— Messsrs. Long,
Nichols, and Atkinson opposed it.
Mr. Pope's Resolution, that no Senator speak
oftener than once, nor longer than fifteen minutes,
on any ono subject. Lost. Tho Senate has not
tho remotest idea of giving up its talking preroga
tive, nor allowing it to bo takou from it by default
of use.
Mr. Peoples, temporary Chairman of tho Inter
nal Improvement Committee, made a report on tho
Bill to giro Stnto aid to tho Brunswick Railroad.
Report and bill made tho special order for Friday
next. I mention in pnssing that the report is de
cidedly favorable, and recommends the grant of
aid.
Mr. Farabro’s Resolution in regard to old Iron

Secretary of Stata. Lost.
The Senate spent the entire afternoon in a hot
debute, on the House Resolution, for the appoint
ment of a Joint Committee, with free powers, to
visit tho State Road and give uu expose of its af
fairs. Partisan and political feulings were elicited
during tho debate, to a considerable extent. A mo
tion to postpone the Resolution, and to make it tho
special order for Friday, was lost. Ays, 40, nays.
41. A motion for indefinite postponement was al
so lost, by a vote of 23 to 50. The Senate finally
adjourned without taking action on the Resolution.
The speakers in favor of taking up the resolution
were, Messrs. Pope, Ilill, Wellborn, Calhoun, Cone
of Greene, Knight. Moore of Lincoln, and Gib
son ; against it—Messrs. Long. Murphy, Wingfield,
McMillan, liuchnnan, and Spalding. The lost
named gcntlcmaii opposed tho extraordinary pow
ers of the Committee, more especially.
BOl'SB.
A message was received this morning from the
Governor, transmitting, for the information of the
House, SeerotAry Dobbin's “Brunswick Report.”
Dr. Phillips, from the Committee on Finance, pre
sented a Report exhibiting the probable receipts
and expenditures for the financial years '56 and '57.
Ordered to bo printed.
J Mr. Smith, of Union, presented the majority re-
| port of tho Committee on the Penitentiary. It
speaks in high terms of tho management of the
I Institution, but is hard down on the Penitcntiury
ptr se, ns not an swcrablc to tho ends for which it
was established, nor likely to be, in its present lo
cation j n removal of it to Stone Mountain, or some
other point, is recommended, and some important
changes suggested in the gover^jnent of tho cou-
victa and their employments. Tho Report is or
dered to be printed, and will Iks taken up on Fri
day next, as tho special order of that day.
BILLS INTRODUCED.
By Mr. Bradford of Cobb, a bill providing thnt
any party or plaintiff to a suit at common low.

shall cause subpoena to Iks served on him personally
ten days before the sitting of the Court. The bill
only applies to subpoenas issuing from Justices’
Courts.
By Mr. Hoyle of DcKalb, to incorporate tho
“Garnet Hill Mining Company”—capital $500,-
000; office at Dullas, Paulding coun%'; stockhold
ers liable pro rata to the amount of tho stock by
them respectively held.
By Mr. Wood of Fannin, to appropriate $10,000
for the construction of a Turnpike or Macadamized
Rond from the N. C. lino, through the colinty of
Fannin, via Morgantown, to Elijny, in Gilmer
county.
By Mr. Terhuno of Floyd, a bill to provide a
remedy for mechanics and unisons, and to make ef
ficient the lien now secured to them: the lien may bo
foreclosed in the same manner as mortgages on per
sonal property, and execution Issue thereon as in
mortgnge Ft. Fas. If defendant he dissntisfied
with the judgment, he may file his defence, and
have his ense submitted to o special jury, who may
give him such damages as they thiqk just, provided
they bo satisfied that tho defence was filed for delay
only.
Also a bill to give damages to dcfbndants for
frivolous suits against them. Hereafter, on a sec
ond suit between the same persons, involving ti
tles to land, the jury shall decide whether or not
tho caso has real merit; if not, they find such dam
ages for defendant as they may think just. Also,
a bill to extend by ten days the time now granted
to Sheriffs and their Deputies in which to serve
writs, declarations, processes and bills in equity.
Also a bill incorporating the “ Oostanaula
Steamboat Company," and giving them, when they

Floyd county ; ulso several bills in regard to the
municipal affairs of Rome.
By Mr. Hudson of Hnrris, a bill to establish the

South are not the aggressors. The intelligence will
create much feeling and excitement throughout tho I , , _ _
. ... forior Courts, Sheriffs, Jailors, Justices of the
country, owing to the peculiar nature of tho ques- ! .. ..... ,
.u.t I., nnd Constables—n very lengthy bill. It
mnkos no material change in the totals now re
ceived by these officers, but docs awny with ull
fractional parts of a dollar in the foe bills, nnd de
fines the exnct fue in cases not now prescribed.
By Mr. Mathews of Houston, a very important
bill, giving the sole jurisdiction of the Retail Traf
fic to the Inferior Courts, and vesting in them the
discretionary power to grunt or withhold licenses.
Thu present fees, lnws and regulations continue in
tion that lies at the bottom of tho whole difficulty.
We would, however, most earnestly beseech our
southern friends to abstain from ull intemperate
action or undue excitement on tho subject. Thus
far there is nothing in the uffair to ju«tify either.— |
The President has promptly responded to tho call 1
of Gov. Bhnnnon ; the South is well represented
in Kansas ; Missouri is at hand to lend every nc- .
cessary assistance ; nnd besides all, there is a large
body of citizens in Kansas, constituting a majori- j

law will be restored at an early day. Let our peo
ple, then, keep cool; and while they ennnot fail to
feol a deep interest in the struggles of their tfbuth-
ern brethren, let them take no step that is calcula
ted to embroil tho Union. Such an extremity could
be justified only by the direst necessity—a contin
gency that bos no existence ut the present day.
Beware or a Swindler!—Tho Federal Union
of Tuesday says:
A man calling himself D. R. Henry, Capt. U. S.
A., figured quite extensively in this place for a
week or two during tho present session of tho Leg
islature. His exit was quite as unexpected o« his
debut, hut somewhat more painful to many of our
citizens, wh%, deceived by his lino military address,
and more especially by a very flattering letter from
Judge Lumpkin, of the Supreme Court, (which tho
aaid Henry was wont to exhibit when in a tight
place) bad advanced bim funds.

Athens, Oct 12, 1855.
Dear Sir: I ottorve In your paper a paragraph,
founded upon “ private letters” from this place,
concerning the resignation of Dr. John Lo Conte.
It is said he goes to fill the same Professorship in
Columbia College, city of New York, and tho con
sideration which influences him to go, (and which
carried Professor McCay to Columbia, S. C.,)is "au
increase of salary—a reasonable coin]>on»atiou for
his services.” Dr. L. does not go to Columbia Col
lege, but to a Medical College in New York—and
the consideration, at least for the present, is not a
larger salary, for he stated himself that ho did nut
know that the salary would l>e larger than that re
ceived here—it is wholly dependent upon the num
ber of students; nud tho expenses for living ure
much larger in New York than here. Thu consid
eration was, doubtless, a diminution of labor—ho
will be engaged iu tho Medical College only during
four months in the year; aud ouly one hour u day,
for four days, during each week.
Tho impression however by the letter writers it
evidently intended to Ihj made, thnt jho salaries of
the Professors in Franklin College, are not “a rea
sonable coiu|>ensntiuu''—and consequently, coinpc-
tent officers cannot bo retained. A reasonable coin-
|K>nsation, I suppose, is what inen usually obtain
for similar services, under similar circumstances—
or what men, of about the same talents and attain
ments, receive for their services in the different
public professions of the country. Now what nre
the saluries of Professors iu the most resjKjctnblu
colleges iu the United .States? From Maine to
Mississippi, I believe, but two colleges give their
Professors larger salaries than Franklin College—
and not more than two or three as largo. Virginia
and South Carolina give larger. Are tho salaries j
then when compared with tho most respectable ,
Colleges in the country unreasonably low ? But J
compare these salaries with those of men in the i
most important and responsible offices of the coun |
try. The Judges of our Supreme Court receive |
$2,500 per annum—they perform far more labor [
than a professor—they travel at a very heavy ex- |
pensc, and ure absent from their families und pri- j
vnto business u large portion of their time. The (
Judges of our Superior Courts receive $1,800 per
amrain—nnd are ut heavy expenses, and absent a '
large portion of their time from their families and I
private business. Tho professors in Fraukliu Col
lege receive $2*000 per annum.
I do not make tbeso remarks to intimate thnt
these Professors receive too large a salary. If they
discharge their duties faithfully, their compensa
tion is not too much for the service performed.—
But it is not true that their compensation is so un
reasonably small thut they nro constantly tempted
to resign by the offer of higher salaries from other
colleges. Nor nre they unreasonably inuill com- j
pure l with other public offices in the country. It
is not an unusual occurrence for a distinguished j
Professor, who has served more than ten years to
resign his office. Nor have colleges been ruined, I
because such Professors frequently resign. Were
this true, our colleges would all long since have
been ruined. Princeton College wns not destroyed,
a few years since, when her very distinguished Pro
fessor of Matbcinutics, Mr. Dodd, died—nor when
thnt most able nnd popular Professor of Chemistry,
Joseph Henry, L. L. D., now at the head of the
Smilhsuninu Institute, resigned. Our Methodist
friends did not find Emory College annihilated
when Dr. Longstrect or Bishop Pierce resigned—
nor do they, 1 apprehend, supposo the resignation
of Dr. Means will be wholly disastrous!
But is it very injurious, in many instances, for
even a distinguished Professor to resign ? Do not
men often lose some of their interest nnd ardor,
after teaching the same studies for n length of time?
When a man enters upon n new profession, or goes ;
to a new Institution, he has a reputation to make <
there: but where he has, year after year, taught the I
same subjects, as he must do in a college, is there !
not danger that lie will leave his study for the lco- '
ture room with reluctance, and thnt subjects which !
nre all important to the young student, will be un- i
interesting to bim—will have lost much of the beau- j
!y and interest which they once possessed, and in- j
deed much that they must possess, to enable the
Professor to infuse into the hearts and minds of his
pupils an enthusiasm indispensable in the pursuit of
knowledge. Is there no danger that he will go to i
his work as to a task, nnd that he will virtually In- ;
bor only for his salary? To such a professor his ,
business will be drudgery—the necessary police
duties, increasingly annoying—tho discipline more
than unpleasant—nnd the conflncmcntexcccdingly j
irksome. Such a professor ought to sock new ein- i
ploymont—a Inrgcr salary—less labor ! All are '
not such. Some love to teach, and their enthu
siasm increases with age and practice. ’ But
such incn are not common in our country.—
But why is Professor MeCny’s named dragged into
every paragraph concerning the College? It is
well known here thnt he left on account <f his
health, which had been so impaired thnt he did not i
feel willing to discharge the usual police duties of \
the College—ho could be free from them at Colum- |
bia—and also thnt he was connected with an Insur- '
nnoc Ciffiipany, in such n manner n? to he ineon- j
sistent with his duty to the College. Mr. McC. was, ,
when in kcallh, an able and efficient officer—he was I
Imre more thun twenty ycurs, ami it Leon nl- I
templed by somo persons, from time to time, to
make his resignation the text for depreciating the
College. The trustees, however, have found a Pro
fessor to succeed him, who is as nblc nnd ns apt to
teach, and whom, I ntn convinced, they would n<>t
exeliunge for his predecessor—and offly because lie
is younger und more zeahms and ardent ns un in
structor, having u reputation to acquire which Pro
fessor McCay hns already acquired. Dr. Lc Conte
is n distinguished man of science, forouoofhis ngo
—he is a lover of science—nn ardent, enthusiastic
student, nud will, I doubt not, if his life nnd health
be spared, acquire for himself a very honorable po
sition among scientific men—he is nlso a gentleman
of easy fortune, nnd i* abundantly able to pursue
his favorite studies,wi thout submitting to tbodrudge-
ry of constantly touching the elements of knowledge.
But ns with Prof. McCay’s chair so with his—I do
not doubt thnt the trustees can nt any time fill his
place with a Professor as cntnpctenl nnd ns apt to .
tench all that can be taught during a collegiate
course. And I think it wrong to attempt to create
tho belief nt home, thnt the State College is to suffer
in reputation or usefulness by a circumstance so
common iu the history of colleges ns the resignation 1
of An officer—and a great wrong is done when the I
reputation of the College is injured abroad by tho ;
impression thnt its officers arc so poorly paid thnt !
they ennnot be returned—although theirsnlnries are i
lower than only two colleges in the United States. 1
The College isn public institution—during its exist-
cncc it has had tunny difficulties with which to con
tend—yet its catalogue of graduates shows thnt it l
hns not only done some, but good service to the j
State. Its founders were men of liberal und en- i
larged views—its trustees have ever been, nnd arc j
among the most distinguished patriots of the coun
try. The peculiar condition of the State hns, up j
to the present time, prevented it from doing what
its founders intended should be done, nnd wlmt I!
do not doubt will, ere long, bo done—making it n !
University indeed, and the present literary and 1
scientific department a school of the very highest j
character. The interests of our great State re- j
quire this—the interests of the other literary j
institutions require this. There is no need of i
jealousy on their part. The more perfect the nr- 1
gnnizntion, the higher the standard of education .
in the University, the better endowed would be
tho other institutions. Tho State will never make J
nil her Colleges Universities—but if she will have
one institution equal in nil its departments to any
in the United States, the friends nnd patrons i
of other institutions would be stimulated to raiso
them to nn honorable grndo with the most res
pectable colleges in tho country, I have not there
fore intended by what I have said to intimntc thnt
the State College is ull that it should be made by
the Legislature, though, ns n literary nnd scientific
college, I do not doubt that its instruction and ad
vantages nre cqunl to tlioso of any college of n !
similar character in tho country—but my object j
has been to show that tho salaries of its present j
Professors nre not so small ns to prevent men from [
remaining here, or to prevent the trustees from ob- I
taming tho best talents in the country to fill its
Professorships. I have not written to provoke con- i
troversv, or injure the feelings of any one. At my
age, I eun have no pcrsonnl interest in view—but
having been thirty-six yenrs connected with the in
stitution, I should not possess the feelings of a
man, if I did not ardently desire its prosperity.—
And it is beyond my apprehension, why nny one
should desire, even by insinuation, to injure such
n public institution. And surely no good can, nnd
much evil will result from continually placing it in
a false light before the public. The College is not
now suffering in tho slightest degree from the re
signation of Dr. Lo Conte. His most important
study is in the bands of Professor Brown, whoso
Mathematical attainments nnd cx|>cricncc in teach
ing Mechanical Philosophy assure tho clnss of ull
the instruction which they enn desire.
I hope pupers which have noticed tho Doctor’s
resignation will give this an insertion.

Action or tiii; State Council or tiik American
Paiitv in Missouri,—At tho last seini-nnniiiil
meeting of tho State Council ofllie American party
in Missouri, the platform of the organization
adopted nt Philadelphia in Juno last by the Na
tional Council, wns accepted nnd fully endorsed as
n true exposition of the American faith, and ns
sotting forth tho real objects for which tho order
was called into existence. The Council have issued
a long address, in which the several nrtlules of
tho platform nre elaborated, and freed from unjust
nnd illiberal constructions. The address discusses,
with other questions, the “religious test." It avers
that there is nothing in the eighth article of the
platform thnt in tho least savors of prescripti<t$ for

t A Bankrupt City.—A Into letter from San

“Business matters look blue enough here. The
city is bankrupt—don't even pay teachers of pub

for keeping the sick in hospitals, in county scrip
ut fifty ccuts on tho dollar, or two dollars for ouu

There was no b|uo>, coming from it. but there was blood
upon the tl M >r and jii hi* clothes. I thought lie was in a .

“'The four sona of Nicholas represent well
enough tho character of their uncles, whose tinmen
they bear in order of primogeniture. Tho nctunl
Czar Alexander reminds one, if not in figure, at
least by his mild disposition—full of graco and
kiudness—of Alexander I. Like him, ho is tall
and stout, with a shade of religious melancholy
on his countenance. The Grand Duke Constan
tine, whom the old Russian party would have liked
to nee nsccml tho throne, is a man of violent char
acter, passionate and obstinntc. Except in stat
ure, he is the portrait of his uncle Constantine,
Into Viceroy of Poland, koown for his cruelty.—
The High Admiral is short and squat, with a disa
greeable expression of countenaneo; his walk is
slovenly, his look ill-natured : his shrill voice of
ten betrays his thoughts. The two other Grand
Dukes are good tempered enough, and remind one
a little of thu Emperor Nicholas when very young.
“ ' In tho midst of these four incu, of different
stamp, is the young Empress—a soft, excellent wo
man, beloved and respected by all. Under tho
mnsk of indifference, she conceals a tender, gen
erous nnd humane heart, n soul cquul to her posi
tion and to the sad inheritance left to her husbuud
by the deceased Czar. Gifted with superior intel
ligence, she knows how to keep within liouuds the
two patties which are actually contending for tho
upper hand. Better than tho Empress Dowager,
whose ambition was confined to the nffcction of the
Emperor Nicholas, the reigning Empress has gain
ed an ascendancy over her husband which he does
uot attempt to throw off. She knows how to keep
up a good understanding between her husband and
his brothers, especially the Grand Duke Constan
tine. An anecdote is told of her which shows her
tact. The Grand Duke Constantine, some time

self. The Russiifn nrmics hnd enough to occupy
them, without depriving themselves of 20,000 sol
dier.* and as many sailors, which might one day be
wanted to defend the Ualtic const. The Emperor
hearkened to the advice of his wife, und di.-uj>-
proved his brother’s plan. It is, however, said
that he hns ngnin resumed it. His idee fist ap
pears to be that he could snek and burn London,
or bury himself and his troops under tho smoking
ruins of the first commercial city of the world.
In Europe, and especially in France, strango
notions arc entertained of the military strength of ,
Russia. Her million of soldiers, with reserve mil- (
lions to fill up tho ranks, nre believed in. Doubtless j
they exist; she has a million of soldiers under ,
anus: may recruit nnothcr million among her 60.- ;
000,000 of inhabitants, spread over an enormous
territory of not less than 3,000 leagues from enst
to west, and 1.000 from north to south. But her
available nrmv in the field does not exceed 400,000
or 500,000. The remainder, veterans, Cossacks,
Baschkirs, Ac., are quite unfit for active ser
vice. It takes a long time to make the Rus-
slan soldier; he is heavy, clumsy nnd idle.—
lie learns only because he is compelled to do so.
After ten yenr* he is not up in his exercise. A Rus
sian army of 100,000 or 200,000 men destroyed by
the sword, fnrainne. disease and sickness, is nn ar
my which tho Czar cannot replace. It will take
him ten yenrs to mnke nnothcr. The recruits will
n«'t be of any use to him: on the contrary, they
will be drags upon the divisions in which they nre
incorporated, and will spoil tho uniformity of tho
regiment. Thus tho best way to finish with Rus
sia is to kill ns many Russians ns possible. Tho
Cznr knows the weak part of his cuirass, nnd if he
orders great levies it is because lie hns suffered great
losses. The losses since the commencement of the
war nre estimated nt 303,000 men. Do so ninny
remain to him of that magnificent army, which it
took hi.* father thirty vears to form ? It is doubt
ful.

the anticipations of dealers. The supply of warrants
points in the Northwest, where they are required for the pur-
potc of location, far exceeds the demand, consequently holders
are compelled to realitc nt deprecated and rninous rates. Su-
peradded to thia, the Pentfon Office I* daily issuing from live
to *ix hundred, which, as soon as they esn be prepared, are
thrown upon the market. NVarrant* in this eitv, are quoted
to-day at the following rates : ISO, $t>M>; IdOaoJ St*. fOM per
acre, and dealer* will uot hind themselves to psy those price*
for one day even, the prevaluing opinion being at all point*,
where w-arrant* are bought and lold, that they wilt rapidly de
cline to much los* than one dollar per acre, for all denomina
tion*.
Many experienced and Intelligent dealer* think that the
largo number now in market, together with the daily issue*
from the Penslou Office, which most of the warrantee* are
from necoiity compelled to realitc, will keep the market in
it* present depressed state for some time, certainly until the
ensuing spring. Another circumstance which will have a
tendency to keep the price* of warrants down, is, that strenu
ous effort* will be made, nt the approaching session of Con
gress, to extend the provisions of the act of March 3, 1665 ; to
time persons w ho hat# served during any of the war*, less
than fourteen days, and also to the children of the soldiers of
the Revolution, without regard to their minority. Should the
act be extended as herein iudieatcd, a large number of war
rants will be issued, equal to at least one-third of those now
authorised.
We remain, vory respectfully, your obedient servants,

LIVERPOOL, NOV. I6.-TI10 active state of the trade de- |
maud for Cotton, alluded to in our Circular of last week, gave j
the market a continued advancing tendency in prices, until i
Wednesday. Since that time, the demand has moderated; nnd j
in tome instances, slight concessions of price have been made,
leaving the general quotations as they stood on Friday last.— !
The continued large demand for Surats for exportation, and
for .Muceios for home use, has given those descriptions a little
favor.
