From the Memphis Appeal.
University of Mississippi, i
December 18,1855. f
Rev. William Winans, D. I).
“ dfy dear old Friend. .” I received your letter ad
dressed to me through the columns of the Natchez
courier, nearly three months ago; and l postponed
my answer to it, at first, that it might not appear
just before the Mississippi elections. Again, that
it might not appear during the session of the Mem
phis Conference; the Memphis Appeal being the
i hoseu medium of its publication, and the Oxford
paper being then suspended. And vet again ; that
i: might appear during the winter vacation of this
Institution.
In what follows, I liattcr myself that neither vou,
noi the party which you serve, will hud any thing
objectionable in the motive which prompts it, what
ever you may think of it - matter and form. The
appearance of your letter (from a Whig) in a paper
published some hundred and forty or fifty miles
trom vour residence, edited by a Know Nothing
candidate for Congress, one of my most wantou
and implacable maligners, just iu time to spread
tolly over the State before the elections; was all
doubtless purely accidental. But allow me to feli
citate you upon your good fortune, in having been
led by your impartial judgment to take aides with
the Know Nothings against your “dear old friend”
and brother; for had you happened to reverse your
position, your organ would have given you a speci
men ot its naturalized Southern sympathies that
would have eaten into your tender sensibilities like j
a screw-worm; and your Know Nothing brethren j
would have taught you that love-feasts are poor ,
contrivances to knit hearts together, compared i
with Know Nothing lodges.
You regret that you ’nave seen hut one of ray
letters. So do 1. Had you seen them all, vou
would have had more charity for my motives than
you evince, and njtore charity for yourself, than to
have dropped some expressions and intimations
that 1 find in your communication. You would
have learned that my controversy with the Know
.Nothings was not of my seeking. That it was
forced upon me, by Know Nothing slanders un
mitigated and unrelenting—slanders which struck
at my dearest interests, and my most sacred rela
tions. 1 hut 1 bore all these for a long time in si
lence and in patience—even until I saw this politi
ieal party,” as you are pleased to call it, while pro
testing aloud against my teaching of politics in
the University, whispering the students of my j
charge into its midnight gatherings, and there ■
binding them by oath upon oath to everlasting [
fidelity to its own political creed. 1 now spoke out ■
boldly in my own defence, and against this partv. i
Not against its principles, but against its mode of
propagating them. In strict truth, there was not i
me word of pditic, in my first letter, if I under- j
stand the term. I said nothing about foreigners, !
and no more than this about Catholics : "I am no j
( atholic. Put Methodism and Romanism on the '
field of fair argument, and 1 will stake my all up- I
"ii the issue; but I am not such a coward as to (lee i
the field of honorable warfare for savage ambush !
lighting; or such a fool as to believe that a man’s ;
religion is to be reformed by harrassing his per- j
s si. Nor am I quite so blind as not to see that ;
when the work of crushing churches is begun in !
the country, it is not going to stop with the over- |
throw of one. This was just such a letter as you i
a-!l me you would have indulged. Not so with
cither the saints or sinners of the Know Nothing
partv. They assailed me from all sides, and in all ■
modes. Not one of them gravely answered mv i
objections to the Know Nothing discipline and :
(b-alings. They chose rather to assail me person
ally, in language, as unbecoming in them, as it was
undeserved by me. Even mv literary bagatelle, :
the amusement of mv idle hours five and twenty
years ago, was held up to view as a test of mv fit- j
ness, morally and intellectually, for the sacred of- !
lice and responsible station to which I have been i
called. And yet these public assaults, undetailed i
in their severity, were kind, courteous and pious, '
compared with the private communications which :
were addressed to me under the author's names, in
answer to this letter. They all agreed however in '
one particular at least, and’ihat was, that if I had
never meddled with politics before I had done it j
now, amt this was a crying sin in an instructor of *
a youth. Vou perceive then, brother, that you gross
L ly misrepresent the Know Nothings, when you ac
* cord to me the right of oppositg them in any wav*
, That 1 should not have a very exalted opinion of
i them, utter what I have suffered from them, 1 think
you will own was quite natural. Have a little
charity for me then, if “no mandamus from a bish
op, no influence of a presiding elder, nodogmatism
or dictation ol learned doctors,” no combination
"I Christians and politicians, no power of numbers,
can awe me into respect for them.
\ou say, “1 defy you, ray brother, to specify
anything in Know Nothingism, of equal turpitude,
my italics with this attempt to enlist a Church •
organization, in a crusade against a politico} partv, I
no matter wliai that party may be. That was a ;
hard word, brother, which 1 underscored. It would
have inspired considerable indignation, had you
not been kind enough to embrace in its application, •
Mi 1 . Wesley, yourself the main body of vour ■
Church, and the whole body of Know' Nothings.
Mr. Wesley endeavored to enlist not only his own
people, but all American, all Englishmen and Irish
men against the American Party of 1776. Was I
he guilty of turpitude in so doing? nav, ray broth
er. Turpitude involves intentional emir; and Mr.
Wesley was not the man to commit that. He real
ly believed that the Colonies had no just grounds
of revolt against the mother country; that they
were periling everything sacred in fraternal ties,
upon mere political abstractions ; and so believing,
he exerted bis influence to its utmost extent to re
duce the colonies to submission. That was the
noblest political party that ever was formed, and
if it be turpitude to enlist a Church organization
against any political partv, w> matter what that
■ arty may l>c, where does Mr. Wesley |staud ? Is
the modern Amriatn parly (its name was Sam,
when I took the pen against it) more holy, more
pure, more noble, more dignified, than'the old
American party? If then I believed, as I verily
did believe, that the Know Nothings wese about to
tend Churches, inflame passions, sunder friend
ships, and kindle the flames of civil war, why
might 1 not use nu best, endeavors to turn our
Church at. least away from it, without incurring
the guilt of “turpitude.” But this is only by the
way. 1 will show you presently that you have
mistaken my designs in this Church matter en
tirely.
Recapitulating the incidents tvhich enlivened
and cemented our friendships wherein you repre
sented mv feelings iu describing your own) von
say, we t'Mjet'u'r itave warred strenuously against :
the malignant tendencies ot Abolition fanaticism
and we suffered Cych-r in that ruthless warfare.” i
true, your efforts iu that struggle were gallant no
ble, powerful; mine were the'weakest of mv life, i
and therefore, to myself the most mortifying! lint i
against whom were we contending," brother V
Against a party, which had brought iis
baneful principles into our Church. What was
*.ur aim, when argument failed to exact justice from
that party ? To set all Southern [Methodism, all
parties, all men who respected religion t ight and
iair dealing against it. What was the issue of our
* labors V The almost entire withdrawal of South
ern and Southwestern Methodists from all connec
tion with the Northern branch of our Church, and
the establishment of an independent Southern
Church which hath no fellowship with it. Was
there any turpitude in all this? If there was, you
tvere a much larger sharer in it than I was, for you ;
were by far the more efficient laborer of the two. I
Aud here let me remark in passing, that one of
mv strongest objections to Know Xothingism was,
that it united the main body of Southern Metho
dists in sworn bonds of fellowship with that eery
party who had repelled them by proscription, blis
tered them by calumny, and cabbaged all the ;
partnership funds. It was in the land of these
iaw-despisiug, right abusing persecutors that Know
Xothingism originated. Senator Adams’ informa
tion to the contrary notwithstanding. I cannot stop
to prove it at large. Suffice it for the present that
Chase says it originated in the •• free States.” The
first Know Nothing formulary of the Grand Coun
cil was issued from the press of Damrell & Moore,
No Id Devonshire street. Boston. Baltimore would
not have sent its bantling to receive its swaddling
bands in Boston. The infamous Judsou i accord
ing to the papers was recently introduced to a
council in Pennsylvania, as the father of the Order,
as he was received with plaudits. The thing has
ao somhera feature. But enough of this,
I think i Hazard nothing in saying that, when 1
wrote my last letter, at least seven-tenths of the
members of our church had joined this party,
tor what. To accomplish its avowed aims, of
course. And what were they? Why to •• enlist”
every protestant Church Organization” iu the
land iu a "crusade against” one of the weakest
entireties, numerically, m the whole country. Here
-as the ihst object of the Know Nothing party ■
sad the second was to oppose foreigners. \Vili
you say this is a combination <y*int a Church, and
" f ;'°, f J a against a WhichlTthe
worst ” hich savors most of turpitude? But
unfortunately for the distinction, the combination
ns * a Political party, too, as its acts demon
strably show, whatever may be its professions. In
honest truth, this was the main, if not the exclu
ivr T rM°L J< 7 t ll ' . Tt “‘ ,ilst intimation that the
world had of its existence was its onslaught upon
Democrats in general, and Nebraska men in par
ticular And please remember as we pass along
who suffered first from it, when it had neither a
j name nor a platform; for when asked why fighting
! " ndor an anh-Catholic flag, they killed nobody but
Democrats, they said it was because the Democrats
fought against them.
i I suppose that an actual, existing, opera
i vt sworn combination of the kind is ten thousand
I r ?PJ? h .cnßiWe than the simple endeavors
i of » ?mgle individual to enlist a church against a
| political party alone.
I But startling and patricidal as is vour doctrine
' in . lt * application, it is infinitely worse in the ab
stract. Turpitude to enlist (or rather try to enlist)
, a church organization “ against” anr party, no
j matter what that party may In !" Why, Doctor,
such teaching coming from vou should raise a
j shout of triumph from all the pirates, bandits and
: assassins in the land. They have only to combine,
j*2 con cert their schemes in secret, mid publish to
the world a political platform, and it forthwith be
comes criminal to array a church against them, or
: even to try to do it ? \ political party may make j
hostility to Methodism an article of their’ creed, !
and it would be criminal in me to advise my church \
to oppose it! The Know Nothings allow the Oath- \
j olios to oppose them, and, where their vote counts I
heavily, even embrace them; but you would not !
allow even a Catholic to counsel his’people against !
I this party! Your doctrine is monstrous, brother, i
i and, coming from one of the best heads of the j
; church, it proves demonstrably that Know Notb
j ingism, as it was when I took the pen against it, is
indefensible. Whether it be right or wrong to ar
ray a church against a political party, depends en
tirely upon the character of that party.
If it intermeddle with churches—if it form coal
| ihon with churches against a church—if its
j professed object be to rob a church of its evil priv
ileges—if it be immoral in its constitution, and
revolutionary in its tendencies—then it is the duty
nf every Christian individually, and every church
collectively, to oppose it. And if it displays all
these uncomely features in the only manifestations
which it is pleased to make of itself, while it con
ceals from the public view its counsels, its plans,
its machinery and its membership, the duty be- j
comes imperative, and the more imperative the 1
stronger the party. Such 1 regard the Know Noth- !
mgs. It was reserved for this party to work in the I
dark—to unite religion and politics—to gather re- j
emits by whispers—to nose for them about schools ■
and colleges—to cement political bonds by oaths— I
to. devise a plan whereby Ministers of the Gospel !
might become politicians without reproof, and per
secute without discovery—to put the consciences of
some men in the keeping of others—to hind its i
members not only to vote, but to fight under dicta- i
tion. Such the inner working of the Order. What 1
the outward ? Hissing, bleating and coughing !
down such men as Wise and Douglas; destroying
ballot-boxes,and buthering and around their blazing 1
dwellings, men women and children.*
It spreads its taint throught all the departments
of Government. Witness the scenes now enacting
in \\ ashington ; the legislation of Massachusetts; :
the criminal trials in New Y ork. Can a native ex
pect justice from a judge or jury of foreigners, or
u foreigner from these native officials ? A Protes
tant from Catholics, or a Catholic from Protes- ’■
fants ? At a trial in Massacliusets, Know ‘
Nothings excused themselves from testifying
to facts important to justice, on the ground 1
that their testimony would subject them to (Know i
Nothing) pains and penalties. And the judge de- j
cided that these volunteer, self-assumed responsi- i
bilities placed the witnesses within the rule “ that 1
no man is bound to testify to facts that will crim- :
inate himself!” They ‘testified, however, very :
freely against the Catholic who was on trial! What 1
confidence will those who remain in the lodges have !
in those who left them ? What confidence those i
who left them in those who remain in them?
Before the magnates of the Order, gathered at j
Philadelphia, were pleased to release the members,
(themselves included, of course, (from so much of !
their oaths as required them to conceal their mem- !
bership and the membership of their fellows, the j
Know Nothings must have mustered at least 500,- j
ll: '0 strong. It is safe to assume that each one of i
them was questioned as to his membership, or the
membership of others, at least ten times on an ;
average. How did they meet these questions?
How were they obliged’ to meet them uuder their |
oaths? Why by . What shall I call them,
brother, to speak truth without giving offense ? 1
will call them untruths, knowing no softer name
for them. Here were 500,000 untruths, scattered
broadcast over the whole surface of the Union, as
the first fruits of Know Nothingism. Many, very j
many, of them dropped from the lips of Christians’! i
How were the most of these 500,000 got into the j
Order? By members pretending ignorance of it;
for they are under oath not to acknowledge their
membership or to disclose the secret of the broth- j
erhood. They must, therefore, have been guilty |
of wilful deception with every proselyte they
gained. Say that 300,000 were gained over in this
wav, and we have 300,000 more untruths distribu
ted through the country, as the price of so many
converts to Know Nothingism. Thousands and
hundreds of thousands have left the Order, and 1
they almost unanimously testify that they found it .
not to ho what it was represented to be. For a
time, all who withdrew and spoke against it, were
denounced as perjured knaves and traitors. This
was true or false, according as they found the j
thing to agree or disagree with the representa
tions of it made to them ; a candid representation
of it, as we have seen, could not have been made
to them, by the law of the Order. If true, what a :
flood of iniquity poured out of the Order when
they left it! If false, what language is too severe
to characterize the calumny heaped upon them by
their recent brethren!
Mr. Snnon Wolf, of Pennsylvania, who writes
like a man of wisdom and truth, after detailing the
flattering but delusive representations bv which he
was induced to join the. Know Nothings, thus con
cludes: "I note declare, that in a life of sixty years, !
I have never found in private or in public, in politics
or out of it, in Ch urch or in .State, as much deceit,
falsehood and corruption as I found in the self-styled ;
‘American party.’-"
To this let me add the testimony of a man, a lit
tle older than Mr. Wolf, who never did join the
“American party."
I was born and raised (if Mr. Hillver please ; see
\\ orcester, Mr. H.) iu the State of Georgia, where
there are now over forty-three thousand K. N.’s, not
one of whom, I will vtntue to say, will assert that j
he knows a blemish on rnv moral character. I have
mingled much and disputed much in politics, and
more in law. I have been twenty-eight years a
member of the Methodist church, and sixteen vears j
a minister of the Gospel, and 1 never was called a
dotard or fool, or likened to a clown, under men’s
own signatures, or charged with falsehood and tur
pitude by Methodist preachers, until 1 came in |
conflict with Know Nothings. Nor have 1 ever
been, in the whole course of my life, as much ca
lumniated as I have been by Know Nothings and
their champions in the last nine months. Never
did I see such an intolerant, arrogant, insolent,
overbearing, inconsistent, vindictive party as this.
It belies me into opposition to it, and then tells me
that, as a minister of the Gospel, 1 have no right
to meddle with politics, I reply, then, the hundreds
of preachers who are in it should come out of it. j
It rejoins that it is religious iu its character. 1
again respond, if it be religious, I surely, as a re
ligious man, have a right to discuss its orthodoxy, !
and to counsel my brethren who belong to it; and
it again repeats that, it is political! Its religion is
reduced to one article: “No office for Catholics.”
So of its politics : “No office for foreigners.”
Its religious exercises consist (occasionally ) in
rummaging into ladies’ wardrobes, riding Catho
lics on rails, mocking their services, assaulting ;
their persons, and battering their houses of wor- ,
ship. Its political exercises consist ( occasionally) j
iu killing foreigners, firing their houses, and giv
ing their bodies to the flames. Its professed in
strument of reform is the ballot-box; and if the ;
ballot-box will not work to its liking, it destroys
the ballot-box. tine would suppose that a party
might determine not to vote for Catholics or for
! eigners without any apprehension of more serious
opposition than is common to political parties ;
generally; and. certainly had the Know Nothings
; done no more than this, I should never have inter
tered with them. But what do they do? Wh>
■oey substitute a new government for that which
our fathers bequeathed to us—a government secret
I m its operations, despotic in its principles, and
| revolutionary iu its tendency. Here the sovereign
power speaks: “ This organization [not party, bro
ther; shall be known by the name of the Grand
COUNCIL OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, and its
jurisdiction and power shall extend to all the States,
Districts, and Territories of the United States of
North America. This Grand Council is composed
of a President, Vice President, Secretary-, and
other officers with fixed salaries and a Congress of
deigates from the States. This Council has “power
to form State, Territorial and District Councils •”
to determine the “ mode of punishment of members,”
Ac.; to grant charters to subordinate Councils that
. may be formed; “to adopt cabalistic characters for
writing or telegraphing;" “to decidk upon all

* From the volume of affidavits published by
the Louisville Journal, to show that foreigners
were the aggressors in the Louisville riots, there is
; one which is of awful import and painful instruc
tion. It is that of Thomas Jeffrey and Robert H.
Haines, who testify that they weredwrkeepersofthe
Seventh Ward noth. That the rule was, to admit
not more than fifteen or sixteen at a time. That an
Irishman insisted on passing when seventeen were
in. That he became boisterous, when Thomas Jes
; frey. to prevent violence, struck him on the head.
' This from Know-Nothings.
i DEEM NECESSARY TO SECURE THE SUCCESS OF THE
i organization.” We know the emanations from
| this august sovereignty; State, county, beat and
i city governments all over the country; subjects
j sworn to paramount allegiance to these govern
ments —taxed to pay their expenses—branded as
| perjurers and traitors if they disclose their se
j crets.
i Now, sir, if vou can find nothing worse in all this
! than an appeal from me to my church to have no
! connection with Know Nothingism, you are not to
j be argued with. If you believe that all this polit
ical machinery was manufactured and set in opera
| tion merely to keep Catholics and foreigners out of
office, you have a much more contemptuous opinion
of Know Nothing sagacity than I have. You stul
j tifv them, while f only oppose them. From their
j peculiar idiosyncracies, they will doubtless give the
j preference to you; but whenever anv other party
! would do it, is questionable. If you can see no dis
: ference between such a combination and parties gen—
i erally, and it is plain that you do not, you should
| not have referred to your own “history” to prove
j that you “consider it the right of Christians and
! Christian preachers to meddle with polities;” for
I it proves something more than your liberality, to
f wit.; that when you “ meddle with politics,'you
j did both politics and yourself a sad dis service. 1
j believe the people of this district forestalled this ,
inference, didn’t they brother ?
\ ou say iu continuation of what T have just quo- ;
j ted from you, “but I do not believe that a church j
I organization ha 3 such right, nor, pardon my frank- j
I ness, that any man can excite a church to such a
! course without political delinquency, which I will I
not characterize as I think it deserves.” Youcer-'
j tainly have the most profound reverence forpoliti- !
cal parties of any man of your “history” that ever
| lived. In the defence of them, you seein to forget
; all the interests of self-respect, all the duties of j
j your calling, all the claims of brotherhood, and all
the rules, not to sav decencies of controversy. You
had already charged me with turpitude, i. e. with
i moral baseness, extreme depravity ; and here you
i insinuate that there is yet something in the act
I thus characterized, so unspeakably depraved that
even your lips refuse to give to it its proper name.
Flanked as you are by a legion of Know-Nothing
Methodists, and very many legions of Know-Noth
ing politicians, you may feel confident of vour se
curity in the church, and of a clever, popular sup
! port while you indulge in such defamation of a
: brother. But you would do well toreniember that
( there is another tribunal, not far distant from vou
| and me, where words are not weighed by ’the
j standard of Methodism or the world.
Did you understand my letter, simply because it
was headed, “To the Methodist Church, South,”
i as designed to excite the Church in its corporate
| character, and through its official organs, its bish
| ops and its Conferences, to take action against the
| Know Nothings ? It would seem so, and if this
I be your idea, Ido more than pardon your candor;
1 commiserate your understanding.’ Where do
: you find the word or syllable in my whole piece
| which indicates such a design ? He’who adaress
j es a Church, addresses the members thereof, and
in what character they are addressed, whether as j
5 an “organization” or as individuals, is to be col- ;
i lected from the body of the address, and not from I
i the caption alone. Had you read my letter with '
any other design than to find in it grounds of ceu- !
I sure and abuse, you would have seen clearly that i
its whole and sole aim was to get the preachers i
and members of our church out of and away from
apolitical party, and into their appropriate work ; j
; not to excite a church organization againsta polit- (
i ical party. But then you would have lost the i
j laurels which you have gained in this contest, the ■
; everlasting gratitude of the Know Nothings, and i
the thanksgiving of one or two hundred thousand I
Methodists, for your unlooked for interposition in 1
their behalf.
The very first sentence in my letter showed you ;
it was one of a series, the antecedents of which I
had been addressed to the preachers of our church, j
Had you seen these, you would have found that j
they were addressed’ to “The Know-Nothing j
Preachers” exclusively. This is decisive of the |
fact that, however you may have understood it, my !
design was not to act upon the church in its aggre- !
gate character, or to unite in action at all. Your j
positions are as preposterous as your language is j
unbecoming: “worse than anything in Know-
Nothingism, formally to address' a church iu itsag- j
gregate capacity upon a POLITICAL question!”)
(italics and capitals yours). “Could you succeed ;
in this design” (of arraying the church against the j
American party) “ the verv fountain of political j
power would be immediately poisoned by a union (
of Church and State!” Did such paradoxes ever
come from a Doctor of Divinity? I supposed a i
man iu this country might address any person, any
number of persons, in any character, upon any
subject, without crime, if the address be not of a
nature unforbidden by the laws of the land.
Dwight used to discuss politics with his pupils:
Everett, Way-land, Cooper, and other Presidents of
Colleges have written on politics without blame;
but the like privilege is not granted to me. Very
far from it.
1 may not speak or write on politics either to the
public or to my church—not to the public, by the
edict of the Know Nothings—not to the church, by
the bull of Dr. Winans. I should have thought j
you a hard master, Doctor, had you believed that \
my letter was likely to array our church, bodily, j
against the party of your love. But vou tell me, j
cuttingly, that no power on earth could do that, j
What, then, is the sin for which you anathematize
me so cruelly? Why, 1 wrote a letter, which j
might, perchance, lead the public to suspect that I \
thought it pjssihle for s anebody to move the M. E. :
Church .South conglomoratedly, against a political !
party. Papal Supremacy would he a luxury, com- |
pared with your government, brother, if this be a
specimen of it.
But suppose that every Methodist in the United ;
States could be induced to take a united stand !
against the “American partyhow would this
produce a union of church and State? What leg- !
islative, executive or judicial power would attach i
to them in this position; or what attribute of a
State would they assume? The only possible re- i
suit of this state of things must be, that the mem- j
bers of the church would either not vote at all, or;
vote against that party. How near this would '
bring the church and State together, 1 leave you to
determine.
In all that I have written, you will not find a word I
or syllable, which intimates a design on mv part
to interfere with my brethren’s right of suffrage, ;
or their right, in a proper manner, to discuss po
litical questions, or to oppose Catholics. It is their
clanship with all characters, their letting them- j
selves down to Know-Nothing drills, their night- |
working, their needless swearing, their man serv
ing, party-scheming, office-hunting, stump-speak- :
ing, anger-stirring, brother-wounding and church- ;
inflaming, that I objected to.
Now, 1 put it to you as a man and Christian, to 1
say whether these things are right in your breth- 1
n-n ? You will not, you dare not, say so. Then |
why do you countenance them ? You have taken
very good care i as yon are particular in letting the 1
public know) to keep yourself aloof from the signs
and grips, and pass-words, and squalls, and oaths,
: and flag-fribble of the Order ; and yet you hold me
up to tne public as a culprit, for counseling our
brethren to follow your example. How far you are
competent, to defend the Order, when confessedly
you do not belong to it, I leave the public to deter
mine.
As to vour fears of the Catholics from their in
crease, Ac., Ac., Mr. Wesley gives you a recipe for
them, fojthe succes of which he pledges bis life.
He guarantees that, if strictly followed, it will en
sure the conversion of every Catholic. Here it is ;
‘ “Let all the Protestant Clergy live like the Apos
tles, and preach like Apostles, the thing is done.”
Most certain is it, that Know Nothingism, which
i fellowships with them where they arc strong and
I persecutes them where they are weak, midnight
conspiracies to roh them of their Constitutional
rights, personal violence, mockery, ridicule and
contempt, will never check their growth or bring
i their religion into discredit. If 1 wished to raise
Romanism, on the the ruins of Protestantism, these
are precisely the agencies that I would adopt.

| The Key oj the Gulf says: “ Several gentlemen
j who have been engaged during the greater part of
j the present year in a scientific and careful exami
nation of the Florida Coasts and Keys, with the
: view of discovering guano and kindred fertilizing
! agents, have recently returned North, prepared, a*
we learn, to remove large quantities of the former
to Northern latitudes. Though the character of
j our climate precludes the presumption that ammo-
I nia - so largely pervading the Ichabo and Lobos
guano, can be found to a valuable extent, mimrled
| with the fertilizing agents of our Islands, we know
' that the deposits of birds and the phosphate of
! lime, in other forms, abound upon nearly all the
; Keys between the outer chain and the main land.”
The Philadelphia It<lyev says that since the new
| organization of the Fire Department, once noted
for its rowdyism, there has been not only a de
crease in the number of fires and false alarms, but
! the loss of property, compared with former years,
has been but trilling. The loss by lires from April
| to December, 1855, has been $123,000.
Mi\ Page recently killed a tiger in Jefferson
j county, Ga., weighing one hundred and twentv-six
j pounds, and measuring nearly seven feet “ from
the tip of lhe snout to the end of the tail.”

‘ On Christinas day, there fell on the plantation of
j Mr. Wm. Myers of' this county, five miles south
from Davisboro, a shower of hail. The hail stones
j "ere very large, and of irregular shape, some of

1 , ! Augusta Market, Jan. 8,4 p. m.
, ; COTTON.-—The market has been rather inactive
’ the past week, in consequence of the bad weather,
- the want of foreign advices, due several days past,
■ and the general indisposition of sellers to reduce
1 j prices to meet the desire of buyers. The sales
, | have consequently been limited. It is difficult to
! give reliable quotations, and we only attempt an
I approximation when we report middling fair
j 8% to 9 cents and fair to strictly fair 9%
! to 9% cents, and very little selling at the highest
figures. The qualities of cotton below good
middling are very much neglected.
The increase of receipts, over the same time last
year, now reach about 615,000 bales.
BUSINESS GENERALLY.—We have not a very
favorable report to make of the business of the past
week. The genial sunshine has not infused its
animating influences among us, but the cold wea
ther, the rains and sleets, have chilled operations
in trade, and induced our population to cultivate a
fondness for fire-side enjoyments.
CORN.—It is difficult to quote tlits article,
i There is a large stock of it on the market, and
| daily increasing, and the demand is limited. A
! large lot would be difficult to sell for over 65 cents,
i while buyers would readily operate at 60 cents. We
notice large stocks in all the principal markets, and
j the tendency is still downward. The present pri
j ces will not authorize shipments.
FLOUR.—We notice a decline of 50 cents per
j barrel. Superfine is now selling at SO.
LIVE STOCK.—There is quite an active demand i
i for good fat Beeves, and prices have advanced fifty
! per cent, upon our last report. We quote now 7
to 7% cents nett for iat Beeves. Shoats are in good
1 demand at from 8 to 0 cents nett.
BANK STOCK.—About one hundred shares of
I city Bank Stock were sold the past week at, $5 per
! share premium. We have heard of no other
j sales.
i We have no change to report in Exchange or j
i Freights. The river is in line boating order.
CHARLESTON, Jan. 7. — Cotton. —The market j
; was comparatively quiet to-day, the sales having j
i been limited to about 800 bales. The transactions
I comprise 18 bales at 8% ; 108 at 8 7-16 ; 61 at 8% ;
!80at 8% ; .80 at %%; 84 at 9 ; 196 at 9%; 178 at
| 9 7-16 ; and 41 bales at 9% cents.
SAVANNAH, Jan 7, I*. M.— Cotton. —The mar
| ket for the past few days has been dull and uu
i changets. The sales of the day reached 579 hales j
| at the following prices: 89 at 7?4, 12 at 8%, 26 at
: 8%, 452 at 8%, and 300 bales at 9% cents.
