December 22, 1835. —The mail that carries this will bear to you also a copy of the Union , contain ing a report of the speech made in the House of Representatives on Friday last, by Howell Cobb. As delivered, it was a great speech, in the fullest sense of the term. 1 have not read the report fully, and therefore cannot say how faithfully P is rendered ; but, even if every word is there precisely in the order in which it was uttered, it must still fail to convey to the reader an adequate idea of its excel lence, and fail especially to account for the power ful effect the speech had upon the House. It re quires that you should have been present, to under stand this. The most skillful reporter cannot transfer to paper the grand, fervid and impressive manner of the orator—-the telling emphasis—the significant gesture—the clarion voice—the attend ing circums lances, and the other adjuncts of the j subject and the occasion; and yet these, as well as i the lucid exposition and the unanswerable argu- ! ment, from the iron logic of which there is no es- i cape, are necessary to a full appreciation of the j force of this great effort. To give you, and if you ! think it desirable, the readers of the Pennsylm- ! aian also, a few notes of explanation on this sub- ! ject, is my present purpose. For the greater part of two days, a Southern j Know Nothing had had the floor. ' He, as well as I others of his party, had affected to hold the Demo- I cratic organization—brave in purpose, but few in I numbers —responsible for the condition of affairs ! in the House, “because tbe resolutions of the De- I mocratie caucus, interpose harrier* against all ap- j proaches by the Know Nothings from tbe South.” 1 This had been argued so incessantly, and bv a few ! of the abler men of the National “ American” par- ! tv with such plausibility, as to induce a feeling of satisfaction, if not of triumph, amongst the adhe rents of that cause. It was to expose this pretext, and further to assert the true dignity of the Demo cratic position, that Governor Cobb took the floor. To read his speech aright, these two purposes must i be kept all the time in mind. You will perceive ; how fully and completely he establishes the fact, that the barriers were created bv the Know Noth’ i ings themselrt*. and that it is the result of their tcork ' that Georgia and the entire South do not speak I upon the floor of the House in one voice. In developing his argument on this point, he i took occasion to tear away the mask behind which ] “National” Know Nothingism seeks to hide its most I repulsive features. He did not, and would not, i discuss the vague and vapid generalities of the | Philadelphia platform, on the subject of civil and j religious freedom, but he would discuss here, as : he did at home, the principles contained in their j tests and oath*. As you w ill observe, he did not j enlarge his argument here, nor amplify at all. It i was not required, for there was a whole volume of i argument in his simple discrimination between ! their published principles and their oaths. He \ rung out this word OATHS with a power and a sig- ' nificance that no mere printed words can possible express. The second great purpose of Mr. Cobb was as forcibly and clearly effected as the first. It was to ! establish this great truth, that a Democrat, and es pecially a citizen of the South, who resists the as saults made upon the Constitvtional rights of the | State*, eau form no honorable alliance with those i who are striking at ibe Constitutional right* of the citizen - -Catholic and foreign born. In the main- I lenance of this principle consists the true dignity j of the position of the Democratic members of the i House. Having disposed of the two propositions to j which 1 have alluded, Mr. Cobb concluded tbe principal part of his speech, with an eloquent re fusal to abandon the Democratic organization, for a mere temporary success; and should 1 live a thousand years, 1 think I could never forget the impressive fervor of voice and manner with which those words were spoken : “ Waive the Democratic organization?” said he. i “ To-day, though reduced in numbers on this tioor, that party occupies before the country u prouder j c position than it ever did before. Mv Southern s friends, do you ask me to abandon the Democratic t organization in tiie hour in which, purged of the fc last Freesoil sentiment that disturbed it's barmonv s and destroyed its power and usefulness, it is enter- ( . ing on a new career of triumph of Democratic and , 7 constitutional freedom? 1 cannot respond to your ( request. Believing, ns I do in my honest judg ment, that the best interests of this country, if not j „ its very existence, depends on tlie preservation of , the National Democratic party, 1 will never aban- ■ I don that organization as long as the banner which j floats over it lias inscribed upon its fold the prinei- i pies to which i am, in body and mind, thoroughly j and unfalteringly devoted now and forever.” There were a few incidental points which, per- s haps, it may be well to notice. The Kansas bill, t and its true interpretation, had been introduced into the discussion. In order to convict the North- ern Democrats of inconsistency in this respect, Mr. s Cox, of Kentucky, a Southern man, resorted to the s extraordinary expedient, of calling up certain Free- j eoilert to testify against their Democratic competi- ! tors in the Congressional canvass. It was in re- ’ buke of this, that Mr. Cobb, directing his index , t finger towards the seat of Mr. Cox, with flashing ; t eye, and impassioned sarcasm, uttered a sentence ; , in the speech, which, without a knowledge of the i ’ foregoing occurrence, may not be thoroughly un- ] derstood. 1 allude to this passage: “There" was , no man in that House, who would have risen be- , fore a Southern coustituencv, and called to the 1 ; stand Free sutler* to testify against the men who had fallen in defence of the Constitutional rights of the ; South." Upon this subject of discrepancy in the interpretation of that bill bv different public men, j you will tint! the following conclusive response: “ I trust that I shall be able to show, at the proper i time, that although there are differences of opinion on immaterial points, yet, that, upon the great, leading! practical idea, contained in the bill, there j is but one voice and one sentiment in the Demo- j cratic party. Adopt wliat theory you please; carry out wliat views you please, entertained by gentle-j men of the Democratic party, they all come at last to the great practical point —flint the will of the pe>h i pie of rtf Territory Stall control and decide the ques- j tion of Shivery." There was one other incident to which I wish . to direct your attention, not so much because of its j importance, as on account of its happy manner and eflect. li is nut to he found at all in some of the j newspaper versions of the speech, and not aeeu- j lately reported in others. Mr. Cox remarked, a lule Governor Cobb was speaking that the Dem ocrat could vote for one of his party without eu- j dorsmg aav principle of the Know Nothings, as i they might v, te under -w. To this Mr. Cobh made the following impromptu and felicitous re- j ply: I pro for to embody mv protest in mv rots; j it is easier understood by the country requires fewer explanations hereafter, and is more accept#- i ble to mv heart." With this, 1 will conclude an epistle that has gone far beyond the length 1 first designed, hoping that it may have the eiffet to pro sent to you, in a stronger light some passages of a remarkable speech, a hieh, in the absence of the circumstances attending its delivery, and in the hurry incident to your arduous vocation, may have escaped the notice they deserve. \y The Mvstkrv of Exchangf on Knghno a cotemporary comes in the rescue of such of its readers as are bothered in calculating the rates of exchange, and the terms made use of In money brokers when but iug or selliug drafts, bills of ex change on London, or Hank of England notes, (vh»u the decimal method is substituted for the £ a. d. in England.

Nature, now' and then, brings forth such geniuses as Newton, Shakspeare, Taltevrand, Milton, Nel son, Napoleon, Washington, Franklin Jefferson, Luther, Cromwell and Jackson. Their powerful intellects compelled the world to admire them. The genius of the present age is Discovery. In the progress of the arts and sciences, this age is immeasurably superior to anv former one. The present century stands pre-eminent for its wonder ful discoveries in the sciences and arts. Among these, the noble science of Medicine has made gi eat progress. Professor Holloway has discov ered and prepared a remedy for the diseases of man in whatever clime destiny may have given him birth. We have, in a former article, intro duced to our readers this distinguished physician, whose reputation is already engrafted on tne world’s history. As a physician, he has copied Nature, and among physicians he stands the acknowledged Em peror. Both in the sale of his medicines, and in the number of patients that have taken them, he is unrivalled. Professor Holloway has labored to supply the human family with a permanent reme dy for their diseases, to which the afflicted may have recourse with a moral certainty that they will be cured. There is no disease to which they will not afford relief. His Pills and Ointment, prepared from selections from the vegetable kingdom, with great care, will drive disease out of tbe system. Thousands of the most intelligent minds of all na tions, rnen distinguished in every sphere of life— the statesman, philanthropist, conqueror, and those whose highest aim is to do good to their fellow rnen, unite in their praises of the remedies discov ered by Professor Holloway for the removal of dis ease. In uniting in this general recommendation of the remarkable virtues of Holloway’s remedies, we only perform u Christian duty, which the press should never neglect. Those who are eminent for tbe good they do in the world, have a just claim upon the press for aid in extending the good to the extent of their power. Therefore, we have deter mined to express our opinion that Holloway’s Pills and Ointment are adapted to the removal of disc-ase, and have restored millions of the sick to health. —Few York Atlas. An Extraordinary Tragedy in New Ha ven. j The murder of Justus Matthews, at New Haven, I Connecticut, is a most extraordinary affair, almost | surpassing belief iti this enlightened age. From a long statement of the facts in the case, given by the New Haven Courier , of the 24th ult., we take the following: It seems that there exists in the upper part of the citv a peculiar religious sect, known as the “XVakemanites,” who have made their doctrines known bv holding meetings at the house of a Mr. Samuel Sly. This Mr. Sly has no wife or family but has a woman living in the house with him, named Rhoda W'akeman, who is the founder of the sect called “Wakemanites.” This woman affirms that she was murdered about thirty years ago, and went to Heaven, and for some reason, which she does not state, came back on earth and founded the sect already alluded to. She preaches and prays, and holds meetings at her house, giving to those who assemble to hear her peculiar stories, her views about the Bible, and her experience in the spiritual world. Among her believers and follow ers are many families who live in Hamden, and they are in the habit of coming down to her house on even Sunday to attend meeting. She held a meeting at her house last Sunday evening, and there were present at the meeting Almeron San ford and his wife, Justus Matthews, Betsy Keeler a Mrs. Davis, and a colored man named Josiah Johnson. They met about 2 o’clock Sunday after noon, and continued their meeting until a late hour in the night. About 2 o’clock Monday morning the widow W’akeman (the prophetess) says that she heard a noise in the room below. She occupies a small room in ihe attic of the house. The house is a common story and a half house, with thin parti tions, and a noise in the lower story could be easily heard in the rooms above. The widow says that she told Betsy Keeler, when she heard the noise, that she thought “all was not riglrt below.” Nothing further, however, occurred until Monday morning, when Matthews not making his appear ance, his son went to the door of one of the fi-ont rooms of Sly’s house, and found it locke, but per- I sisted in breaking open the door. He looked into ! the room and there beheld his father lying dead \ upon the JU.or, with pools of hloo<l surrounding his I ha l. The alarm was immediately given, and sev- | oral citizens hastened !o the house. Clotted blood j and hair lay upon the floor around him, and sever- I al pools of blood were found near his head. It j was truly an awful scene to witness. The throat i was cut nearly from ear to ear. and his head seemed to be nearly severed from his body. It is evident that lie could not have committed the deed himself from the nature of the wounds. They were doubt less made by a hatchet or some instrument heavier and more powerful than a knife or razor. A small rope was found on the floor and marks of a rope were discovered on his wrists, and it was eviden I that the wrists bad been bound bv this roue. The house was thoroughly searched, and bloody clothes were found, and marks of blood upon both j sides of the door leading to the room in which j the body was discovered. A common butcher- | knife was found in a box or small chest, well sharpened and having the appearance of being used recently, but no hatchet was found except one so dull ami rusty that no use could be made of it. The following persons were arrested during the afternoon, and lodged in jail, charged with com mitting or in some way being accessory to the crime; Israel Wooding, \lmeron Sanford and wife, Abi gail Sables, Thankful S. Ilersey, the widow Wake man, (the prophetess,) Samuel Sly, and a colored man named Josiah Jackson. Subsequently a coroner’s inquest was held, when some most singular facts were elicited. A. Sanford i testified as follows: 1 went to the house of Mr. Sly with my wife about I dark, on Sunday evening. We found Josiah Jack- ! son, Wooding, Miss Hersev, Mias Abby and Samuel I Slv there. Justus Matthews is my wife’s brother, j I found them in the chamber singing and praying. | About eleven o’clock Matthews came to the house, i Widow Wakemun said she was haunted by Mat- j thews —the “man of power” with an evil spirit, j When Matthews came he went into the front room, t where there was a tire. Rhoda Wakemun wanted Matthews to come to the meeting, so 1 went to see i him, and he seemed willing to come. When he | came my wife tied a hankerchief over his forehead, ' and they tied his hands behind him, the same as ! they would the devil. I told him he had a bad i spirit, and he wanted to give it up. Jackson and j Wooding were with him, and he talked with him j about the evil spirit. Widow Wakeman said he j was drawing a terrible power over her. Mr. Wood- j ing told Matthews that he ought to be killed, and Matthews said he was willing to die to quench the ! evil spirit. Wooding and Jackson said Matthews : must be got out of rite way. They told him he j must die. It was about one o'clock when I heard I a noise. Wooding, Sly and Miss Horsey were up i stairs praying with us, but dodged down stairs, and i soon 1 heard them say, down below, “ He’s killing i the messenger -he’s killing the messenger.” 1 i heard a noise, and several blows follow, and started ; towards the door ; but they pulled me back, sav- \ : ing: “If he’s killing himself, he’ll be raised.” I i heard a girgling noise, and cries of “ Oh! oh! oh !” I then went up stairs to sing and pray. When I reached the door, 1 found ii fastened and something ' braced against it inside. 1 could not get into the room below. This occurred about twelve o'clock, j and I left the house twenty minutes past four. As Wooding and Slv dodged out in such a man j ner I think they might have helped to kill Mat ■ thews. 1 think Matthews was willing to die. Sly j said lie thought he ought to die. After I heard the noise and cries below. Sly come running up stairs ; and kneeled down and seemed to be praying. 1 : thought he could not pray much, for l thought he 1 would not feel like it then. They believed that if widow Wakeman i the prophetess i should die, the world would 1* destroyed. I should think that from appearances he killed himself. If they ( Wooding and Sly) killed Matthews, it was to keep him front enchanting widow Wakeman, who was disturbed ; b\ his evil spirit. Josiah Johnson, colored, who was also at the house of Sly ou Sunday night, testified, i I told Matthews he was killing the old woman, and that I would not let him into my house sooner than I would a mad dog. 1 asked him if he knew he had a had spirit in hint, and said that he ought to renounce the evil spirit. He said in the name ot 1 ’ ; renounce it. Amos Hunt gave , me .lie. lady (widow Wakeman , some poisonous ; cates, with arsenic in them, and wanted to make : , wav with her l think Matthews goi the evil spirit [ {torn Am.,s Hunt. Widow Wakeman is a woman 1 vum pi ■■tsvo.es to have died and rose again, and ; came mi earth to teach the wav to Heaven. I be -1 lieve that she is a prophet, and she is what she . professes 1 mid Sandiord to take Matthews away 1 i { otn the house, ot Mrs. Wakeman would certaiu -1 ky , T . b y ie 'r ( -n :U if lhe Wakeman , should die tiie Millenium would come and the = wiwJd would be destroyed. 1 believe that Mat thews was hurting Mrs. W . and his sister bv ,u- I chtntiny thfhi. Subsequently. Samuel Slv was brought before 1 the jury, and made a confession, which is thus re- I ported in ihe O/’irier : CONFESSION - OF SLY. Sly opened by admitting that he, and he alone committed the murder, although before he elosed his statement, he related circumstances which tend to implicate Jackson, the negro, and Miss Hersev as being accessories. He says that his sister, Mrs. Wakeman, was so distressed with the bad spirit or power in Mat thews, that he thought something must be done to remove it, and he consulted with Jackson in regard to using a stick of h&zlewoed on Matthews, to see what effect it would have upon him. He had pro cured a stick of that wood a few days previous, in anticipation that it might be necessary to use it for the purpose—as he thought the bark of hazel, in connection with alder, concocted together into a tea, was powerful to remove euchantments. This stick, which was about an inch in diameter and two and a half feet in length, he had placed in a drawer in the cellar, and when he spoke to Jack son about using it, Jackson inquired where he kept jt. Sly informed him, and went and brought it into the lower rear room where Jackson and the woman Hersey were, and they knew when he went into Matthew’s room with it.' When Mr. and Mrs. Sanford went up stairs, pre paratory to taking Matthews away, Slv went into the front rom to Matthews, and after locking the ; doors, struck the deceased, who was sitting in a i chair blinded, over the right temple, with such force as to bring him to the floor, and then struck ‘ him several times with the club. He then took his ; pocket knife, which is some two inches in length, , and commenced cutting Matthews’ throat. Alat thews groaned, but did not utter a word after the | first blow. ! Sly also took a table fork, with which and the ; knife, he mutilated the body in the manner in ! which it was discovered. He says he did not de sign to use any other weapon than the bludgeon, but after he had given the blows, was urged on by some influence to use the knife and fork. After the murder, he remained locked in the room a half hour, when he came out into Miss Hersey’s room, where she was, with a bloody stick and a light in his hand. His tiands and shift sleeves were bloody, and she procured a basin of water to wash himself, and they conversed about secreting the stick, and he then’placed it down cellar, llis shirt sleeves were then torn off, and the bloody pieces burned in Miss Hersey’s stove—she being’ present. He af terwards took the club used and cut it into pieces and threw them into the privy vault, where lie also put the knife. He took up some of the blood from the floor, and carried it away. He then went up stairs, where the gathering was, and engaged in prayer. This is the substance of his statement. After Sly’s confession he was remanded to pri son, and Mrs. W'akeman was taken to the jury room, and gave a description of her visit to the spirit world, some thirty years since, at which time, she says, she was murdered by her husband, and remained dead seven hours, during which time she made the heavenly journey, seeing the Saviour, all the prophets, apostles, martyrs and saints, and having a realizing view of the home of the blessed, after which she was sent back to earth on her mission. She states that she is seventy years of age, and has been the mother of fifteen children, nine of whom are still bring. Her brother, Sly, is fifty years of age. From the Baltimore Patriot. Congressional. Washington, Dec. 27.— House.— On re-assem bling this morning at twelve o’clock, there was no quorum present, and a call of the House was or dered, when one hunun. and eighty-four members answered to their nam. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, icmarked that he had un derstood this morning that some of the friends of the proposition of Mr. Stephens, for a continuous session til! a Speaker shall be elected, are disposed to rescind it in order that the House may go on in the usual way for the election of Speaker. The proceedings yesterday demonstrated that there was nothing practicable in it, and, for the purpose of affording gentlemen an opportunity for rescinding that order, he would temporarily withdraw his re solution inviting Mr. Orr, of South Carolina, to pre side over the House till a Speaker be elected, not seeing any necessity for such an arrangement un less there was a probability of a protracted ses sion. Mr Orr said that inasmuch as the gentleman from Ohio had indicated his purpose of withdraw - ing his resolution, he (Mr. Om felt himself relieved from ihe delicacy of remarking that he had learn ed, with some surprise, that a rumor had been set on foot prejudicial to Mr. Campbell and himself, namely : that Mr. Campbell offered the resolution with bis consent! So far as ho (Mr. Orr) knew or heard or believed, the report was false. He high ly appreciated the compliment of the gentleman from Ohio, and should ever cherish it in his mem ory. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, byway of silencing that ) particular slander, said that lie never interchanged a single word with Mr. Orr on the subject. He cared little about tbe rumor, it being generally un derstood that the most notorious liar is Madame Rumor. He understood that there is a disposition to go on in the usual wav of voting for Speaker. He hoped that there would he its little debate as possible till a Speaker is elected, without running into night sessions. He then moved to rescind Mr. Stephens’s resolution, providing for a continuous session till a Speaker shall be elected. Mr. Stephens I wish to say that when I submit ted the resolution which l did yesterday, 1 was anxious that we should elect a Speaker, and 1 then supposed there was a majority of the House desirous of the same result. I became satisfied yesterday evening that I was mistaken in that opinion. A number of gentlemen, fully half, 1 believe, who vo ted with me for the resolution which 1 offered, and who I had supposed would remain with me here through the night, if necessary, on the last vote w hen there was no record of the yeas and nays, re mained in their seats when the question was deci ded by tellers. 1 believe the very gentleman (Mr. Sage) who accepted my proposition as a part of iiis own resolution, wited upon the first motion for a virtual adjournment, on the yeas and navs for a recess. Sir. Sage—l did and should do the same thing to-day. I accepted the gentleman’s proposition on the solicitation of friends, very reluctantly and against the convictions of my judgment, and shall vote to-day for rescinding it. Mr. Stephens I believe a majority of the mem bers of the House, acting with that gentleman up on the last vote lasi evening, when the yeas and 1 nays were not recorded, sat in their scats and per mitted the recess to he taken. Now, sir, my own opinion was that, if those with whom f have acted in this House wanted to organize the House, we should take the matter in to our own hands; we should hold the House; we should occupy the ground; we should sit here day and night, with our flag always afloat that flag which floats from the old “ seventy-four” gun ship, whose broadside was felt the first dav of the ses sion. If we had adopted this course, 1 believe that our opponents, by tins time, would have been com pletely demoralized and disorganized. The result yesterday confirms this opinion. The rank of the j opposite side were routed before a six hours’ ses sion had been reached. I say to those who act with me here, that I have no personal feeling in the matter. Ido not care personally whether they organize or not. 1 can come here as many day as they can. If the intention is to go on as we have done; if we are to come here and sit four hours a day, and talk, vote and go away, 1 cun come here as long as any gentleman can, if my health lasts. I do not think it is dealing fairly with the coun try. Aside from that, I care not what the House does. Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, said he intimated yester day that a majority can control the proceedings, no 1 matter how many resolutions be passed. There is ! nothing to be gained by attempting to force night sessions on the House. Mr. Todd demanded the yeas and nays, wishing the country to see who supported the resolution one ! day, and voted to rescind it the next. The resolu- S tion was then rescinded by a vote of 112 yeas to 83 ■ nays, and the House resumed voting with the fol- I lowing result: Banks, 100 ; Richardson, fit!; Fuller 30; scatter ing <)—necessary to a choice H>3. The House again proceeded to vote as follows: Banks, 103 ; Richardson, 87 ; Fuller 31 ; scatter ing y—an exciting debate was incidentally intro duced, involving the character of certain members in regard to bargaining for votes for Mr. Banks, in which the Pennsylvania delegation figured, Mr. Banks denying any pledges by him. Senate. —-Some twelve or fifteen members only were present, and after a few petitions were pre sented, and a short Executive session, the Senate adjourned till Monday. Circular for Foreign Markets. Mr. Wright’s Circular for the steamer says “ The apathy in regard to Cotton which has existed for so many weeks past in this market still contin ues, and although we have a very limited stock on hand, with but a moderate quantity on the way from the South, our prices are below the parity of all the Southern markets, and both Cotton ort the spot and that sold in transit, leaves a loss to the owners. The determination on the part of our ex- 1 porters to keep clear of Cotton, forms a strong con- 1 trast to the large operations which have recently i taken place in the Southern markets, and is ac- j counted for in part to the fact, that here opinions j are general that with our large crop the Liverpool I market will not be sustained when freely supplied, ■ and that dear food, dear money, and the continu- j ance of the war, are elements which sooner or later j will seriously damage the Cotton interest; hence! the indisposition to operate. In the South no such feeling seems to be entertained by a majority of cotton shippers, and large operations are made day after day, at prices which require au advance ou the last quotations from Liverpool to save from loss. Some small portion of the business doing in South ern markets is on English spinners’ account, but by far the larger amount of the transactions is eith er under advances from speculative shippers, or a joint account business between New Orleans parties and Liverpool houses. The chief inducement, per j haps the only one, in making these shipments, is ; to be found in the opinion, which exists pretty 1 generally in the South, that peace is very shortly I to be brought about in Europe, i ” The business in this market has only been to a j moderate extent for home consumption, and a Utile | for speculation. Exporters have been unable to j operate, from the limited selection and the firnt ; ness which holders have displayed, i “ The estimates received from the South during j 'he past week are somewhat increased. B,SOO,tXKt I hales is now spoken of as a minimum, while some ; L-w regard 3,700,000 as quite probable, i “The total now exceeds the large crop year, and tV> an the rise in all the Southern rivers, we mat i with confidence expect heavy receipts into the ports I for some weeks, and a consequent weekly gain upon I * lO corresponding period of 1&52-’53, which will j establish a belief in the large estimates now pre- I railing here and in the South. The export to Great ! Britain is only 29,000 bales for the week, while to | France and other foreign ports a large amount has i again been taken. “The following is a statement of the movement in Cotton since the Ist September last, as compared with the previous two years: 1855. 1854. 1858. Receipts at the ports .. 1,253,000 784,000 764,000 Exports to G’t Britain. 418,000 818,000 217,000 “ to France 154,000 35,000 52,000 “ to for’n ports.. 108,000 42,000 45,000 Total exports 680,000 443,000 314,000 Stock on hand 514,000 854,000 408,000 “ Os which during the past week, included in the above: Receipts at the ports... .146,000 77,000 105,000 Exports to Great Britain. 29,000 54,000 81,000 “ to France 20,000 7,000 7,000 “ to other for’n p’ts 13,000 6,000 3,000 Total exports 62,000 67,000 41,000 “ From which it will be seen that the increase in receipts now amounts to 469,000 bales. The in crease in exports to Great Britain 102,000; France 69,000; other foreign ports 66,000. Total increase in exports 257,000 bales.” Tire Speakership. —The union between Black Republicanism and Know Nothingism is thus strongly illustrated by the Boston Cowrier: “ The American party of the North, who have been opposed heretofore to the election of Mr. Banks as Speaker, have surrendered all their well founded prejudicies against hint and now give him all their good wishes. This much we learn from gentlemen of thT American party here, who have changed their minds with regard to the result of his election, and who now think there is no sal vation for the party unless he is chosen. Washington, Dec. 28.—Between fifty and sixty Democrats are holding a caucus to-night at the capital. Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, is in the chair, and Messrs. English and Ruffin are acting as sec retaries. Speeches have been made by Messrs. Cobb, of Georgia, Cadwallader, and others, coun selling the Democrats to stand by their candidate and platform. The first named declared that their course is ap proved bv their political brethren of the country. Some thought that a union with the Americans cannot be effected, as several of the latter had de clared in the House that the combination candidate must be taken from the American party. Up to 10 o’clock no distinct proposition had been submit ted. It is stated that information has arrived announc ing the death at Beirout, of cholera, of Rev. Mr. \\ liiting, Missionary of the American Board, who has been laboring in that country some twentv-five years. 'commercial. Augusta Market, Jan. 1, 1856, COTTON.—The past week has been a rainy, cold, and every way disagreeable hoyday week. There has been but little effort to buy or sell. We are not able to furnish reliable quotations, but the market seems firm under the steamer’s news. GROCERIES.—Whisky has declined in price— and Corn is difficult to sell, in large quantities, for more than 65 cents. There is no change in Sugar or Coffee, but both held at firm prices. Other arti cles in the Grocery trade have undergone no change. We are looking daily for receipts of new Bacon, as all we have now on market are small lots of city cured. We have no change to notice iu rates of Exchange. The river is in fine boating order—and has been rather too much so, for convenience in receiving and shipping. We shall resume our regular weekly reports in our next paper, when business will be fully in ope ration. CHARLESTON, Dec. 29. — Cotton. The transac tions reached upwards of 1683 bales.

REED S PATENT CHRONOMETER ENGINE. This is an improved Steam Engine, for which Letters Patent were granted to John A. Reed, i of New York, January 9,1855. The nature of this i Improvement consists of the increase of power about 20 per cent, and reducing the weight of the : Engine one-half. The saving of fuel is effected by i letting the steam in on both sides of the cylinder; 1 doubling the size of the port, and balancing the j pressure, removing the friction and weight of the | slide valves, eccentrics, cross heads, connecting rods, Ac. The exceeding simplicity of this Engine, renders it much more durable and easily managed than any other, and when placed upon the boiler with wheels it is portable though effective. These Engines received the First Prize Medal at the great Exhibition in Paris. There are about Seventy-five of them now in operation, all giving great satisfaction.
