?«ssed on Saturdav. providing for the State

ti-. stating that the Joint committee had un

ar n«x- executive We do not knoi
| who he will be, but he will be sworn to do every
thing required of him in the bill, to consult com
petent persons, Ac. We must endeavor to put an
, honest man in office.
; Mr, Irwin, of Wilkes, supported the motion,
. and scored the sul>- itute passed on Saturdav. The
public printer would have too little of the fool in
his composition to ask lets than the late allowed him
—the ma-cimum. He understood that the Auditors
were to examine the accounts, and ascertain if
they were correct, and not determine the rates.
Governor Cobb and Johnson, when speaking of
the public printing, both clearly indicated that
there was room for reform, and il was the dul v of
the Legislature to endeavor to correct the abuses,
so long complained of. Extravagance had been
the order of day heretofore, and the' most powerful
candidate could buy silence, often times paying
S'iOo per month. Respectable and intelligent men
, | had informed him that from six to eight thousand
i ; dollars could be saved by giving the printing to the
lowest bidder, and there would be a sufficient num
ber of applicants to produce competition. There
would be no injustice to the printer elect, as he
i would have an equal chance with the rest. It
i could be proved that the work could be done in
Milledgeville within thirty or fortv days after the
• Legislature adjourned: while, heretofore, frequent
ly twelve or eighteen months have elapsed before
the work lias been completed. The gentleman
concluded with an appeal that the members should
i do their duty, and countenance all efforts medita-
I ting an honest reform of acknowledged abuses.
Mr. Lawton, in reply, said, that Mr. Irwin mis
understood the duties of Auditors. Their province
was nut only to puss judgment upon the correct
i ness, but upon the justness and fairness of the
I charges. The Governor would be transcending his
power, if he disregarded the admonitions of the
auditory committee. In the bill, expenditure be
j yond a certain sum was decisively prohibited, it
I was not to exceed the rates now prescribed by law;
but there was left sufficient room in which to prac
tice economy, if necessary. He was not in favor
of the practice of letting to the lowest bidder.
Men were too much the slaves of interest to strict
ly comply with contracts when thev were engaged
■ to do work below paying rates. The misfortunes
! of the last three or four years were unavoidable,
and should not be brought forward as argument.
For about fifty years the printing bad been done in
Milledgeville. It was very astonishing that Un
people had just become aware of the great extrav
agance in the public printing. Whv were these
arguments used on election day? The substitute
passed makes provision for every practical reform,
and it is not improbable, judging from the improve
' ments in printing, that the cost of the work nmv
be reduced one-half in the next two years. The
motion to re-cousider was lost. Ayes*42, nays >)'>.
The attention of the House was "next engrossed
by the Kansas bill, a bill introduced by Mr. Crook,
of Chattooga, to appropriate fifty thousand dollars
to peopling Kansas with Georgians. An eloquent,
lengthy, original and exhaustive debate took place
on this bill. Many very fine speeches were made,
and much patriotism and Southern Rights feeling
were manifested. It was lost. Ayes 43, navs 83.

Augusta Market, Feb. 12, 4 I*. 31.
- COTTON.—We have had quite an animated de
mand for Cotton, the greater portion of the past
week, and prices have advanced, on all qualities,
fully a half cent. $ pound. The steamer’s news
was received here on Saturday morning, in private
telegraph despatches, and some parties operated
on them to a limited extent. But they found the
; market buoyant, and but little margin for specula
tion. It was not until all commercial business was
over on Saturday, that the news by the Persia was
received by the newspaper press.
Speculations as to the probable crop are still
freely indulged in, and many parties whose con
clusions fixed the present crop at considerably
over S,ooo/>oi'i bales, are re-considering their data,
and are seriously questioning the reliability of
even the half million point. The long continued
bad condition of the roads and weather, in the in
terior of South Carolina, Georgia and Alabama,
and the unfavorable state of weather, roads and
rivers in the West, have all combined to lessen
the receipts of Cotton at the ports ; and the pres
ent, compared with the same time in 1853, shows
about 40,000 bales less now than then. To what
extent the weather may have checked receipts, and
fair prices invited early shipments to market, arc
questions which are material in forming proper
estimates of the present crop. The probability of
the crop, however, reaching 3,500,000 bales, is fast
giving way, and exercises as much influence in
strengthening the Cotton market, as the news of
probable peace in Europe. With the lights before
them, of the past and the present, the general
opinion seems to be, that the crop now coming
forward, will not materially vary in extent from
that of 1852-3, which was 3,2*>0,000 bales.
Below we furnish as reliable quotations, of the
state of the market, at the time of making up this
report, as we have been able to obtain. Fair ffq,
middling fair 9%, good naidding 9% to fiGj, strict
middling 9'f, and from ordinary to good ordinary
and middling S% to 9 cents. The demand from
purchasers is active, and the holders firm at lull
prices.
BUSINESS. —AII departments of trade and en
terprise are actively engaged, and business gener
ally seems to be jogging ou very satisfactorily. Our
streets are getting in good condition for vehicles
of business or pleasure, and the few pleasant days
we have enjoyed, have imparted much animation '
and spirit into commercial and other pursuits.
DRV GOODS.—There has been an active trade
in Dry Goods for the past week, considering tin
lateness of the season. Staple goods have been
mostly in demand. There are yet good stocks,
and the prospect is that almost all styles of Dry
Goods will advance when the new stocks shall
have arrived. Our merchants are making arrange
ments for a large Spring trade.
F VRMING IMPLEMENTS. Our hardware deal
ers are well supplied with tin: best agricultural and
farming implements, suitable for Southern use- -

IRON' AND HARDWARE.—KngIisIi Iron v.}.'
to 4 ; Swedes sto 6 ; Nails to s >-*, and $1 ex
tra jJ keg for 3d. Nails ; and Castings 1 to 5 cents.
All manufactured Iron is firm in price.
TIN. There has been a considerable advance
in Tin, and prices are very firm -for J. C. sl2 ff \
box, and for 1. X. $12.75. Block Tm is worth 40 .
cents pound.
ROCK SALT. This article is selling for $2.50
ft ion pounds.
COFFEE. The auction sale of the cargo of Cof
fee in Charleston, u few days ago, went off at high j
figures, and has bad the effect of strengthening our .
market, and will doubth ss cause an advance hero.
We quote llßj to 12 cents for common to fair;
12k. to 13 for prime; and 14 for strictly choice
liio. Laguayra Li to 14k ; Java 15 to 17 cents.
SUGARS. This article is still improving in
price, owing to the advance in all the iarge mar
kets, and the difficulty of obtaining supplies. We
quote, for good to prime New Orleans, 9jk to L>
cents' and for Muscovado and Porto Rico I‘k to
. cents. In barrel Sugars, owing to the almost
total suspension of business with Baltimore and
Philadelphia, on account of the ice, and of the sus
pension of operations in Stuart’s Refinery since the
first of January, and the limited number of other
Refiners, it is very difficult to obtain supplies, atyj
the little that is received commands very high pti- ;
ees. We quote U,k to 12 cents for C and B, and
12 to for A. The prospect for lower prices
for Sugars, at an early day, seems unfavorable.
MOLASSES. - Then; is a good supply of New
Orleans selling at 4* cents, cash, in lots, and from
50 to 52 on time and retail by the barrel. There -
has been no Cuba received. A cargo lately re
ceived in Savannah, and the first of the season, is j
selling at 45 to 45 cents.
SALT. The transactions arc confined to small j
lots to consumers. Retailing at $1.45 to $1.50.
BAGGING AND ROPE. —No change to report.
COR N.— It would be difficult to effect a sale of a ;
large lot for more than 65 cents, sacks included.
The market is well supplied, and demand moder
ate. Retailing at 75 cents.
MEAL—Selling at 80 cents V? bushel.
WHITE BEANS—Worth from $1.50 to $1.75 <2 ;

FLOUR. City Mills arc selling at $9 for Super

are ranging from s•* ‘<o to $9.
PEAS- Worth 85 to S7. Retailing at 90 cts. j
OATS—Selling from 7# to 80 cents, with sacks.
! LjpThc prices for grain and flour are somewhat !
unsettled, and the tendency is rather to easier
prices.
WHISKY The supply is on the increase, and
we now quote 42 to 4-1 cents, on four months.
CANDLES. Adamantine selling from 80 to S 3 !
cents as to quality.
BUTTER.- Goshen, by the keg, 28 to 30 cents,
and Tennessee Butter from 17 to 25 cents. It re
quires a choice article to bring the latter price.
FEATHERS -Worth 38 to 40 cents —dull.
BEEVES AND SHOATS. —The demand for good
fat Beeves has somewhat abated, in consequence
of the quantity pressing on this and the Charleston
markets. We quote 7 to 7 k cts. for choice. Slioats
1 from 7j •i to 7v7 cents.
IRISH POTATOES.—By the quantity, good
planting Potatoes can be bought at $3.25, but they
are retailing at $3.50 to $4, according to quality
and kind.
BACON \XIM..VRI>.—New Bacon, hog round,
12 cents; Sides 12; Shoulders 11. and Hams 13
cents. The supply is small, bur increasing, and
considerable lots coining forward. Lard is worth
12 cents in barrels, and 1? cents in cans. Large
lots would bring lower figures.
RlCE.—Selling by tlie tierce, according to quali
i ty, from 5k so 6X4 cents.
STOCKS, There is considerable enquiry for all
kinds of Bank stock; but holders are firm and there
is but little changing hands
LAND WARRANTS.—'The so. 160 and 40 acre
Warrants arc selling at 95 cents 7} acre. tint, the
120 acre lots are worth but 02 cents.
EXCHANGE. —The Banks are selling Exchange
at k iff cent. prem.
UN-CURRENT FUNDS.—Bank bills of other
. States are at from lk to s"p cent, discount. The
•‘Wild Cat Banks of Georgia "2to 5 cent, dis
count. The Dalton and LaGrange Cat money,

FREIGHTS.—By railroad to Charleston $1 f?
1 bale for Cotton ; to Savannah by railroad, 50 cents,
and by river 40 cents ~fi bale for Cotton On other
article* no change
CHARLESTON, Feb. 11.- tWtot.-There was a

Liverpool, Jan. 25. — Cotton. — The week’s sales
sum up 70,220 bales, and consist of 10,400 on
speculation, and 10,270 for export, and 49,550 to I
| the trade.
Prices have partially advanced i-lod. to %d. ,
We quote :
Upland. X. Orleans. Mobile. 1
Middling Skjd. 5%d. f,Wd. !
Fair sj|d. 5%d.
The excitement of last week has subsided, but ■
the daily demand has been on a larger scale, and j
from ull cases of buyers at gradually hardening j
prices ; middling and lower qualities Lave partial- \
| ly advanced 1-Did.; and the better grades of Bo
i weds and Orleans as most suited for the Russian
| market have, in most instances, improved in value
to the extent of an ly'd. In consequence of tin
better feeling in Manchester, there was more brisk
ness here on Wednesday than on any other day in ,
j this week, but yesterday and to-day there is a
' quieter feeling. Speculators have not operated so |
extensively in American, but the trade have been
1 fro 1 - buyers in order to cover themselves for their '
I contracts.
A large proportion of the sales consist again of
j Surats, which are getting more and more into fa
i vor both here and on the Continent, and this must i
I continue to be the case so long as the lower quali- I
ties of American remain scarce, and comparative
ly dear as thev are at present.
Brazils are but little changed ; but for Egyptian
there lias been more inquiry. Surats are much :
sought for, and obtain ;- s d. to 3±d. advance on i
1 lasi Friday's quotations.
To-day there is a good steady demand, but a j
rather quieter feeling; the sales to-day are estima
ted at 2,000 bales, 1,000 being on speculation and
for export.
The Manchester market has improved, and a ;
good business has been done in 5 arns at an ad- ;
vanceof Qd. y tb., the German buyers operating
largely. In cloth there is but little change to no- j
bee, higher prices lias been paid for some marks of j
printing cloths and narrow shirtings, but general
ly the article can only be quoted firm at last week’s
prices. The failure of Kelly & Gilmour caused |
much surprise, and was almost the only subject of j
conversation on ’Change yesterday.

THE CRITERION;
A LITERARY AND CRITICAL WEEKLY JOVRN.AL,
16 Pages, 4 to,
j Star AS commenced on the third of November,
ff 1555, and has thus far received very gen
eral approbation. Anxious to extend its influence,
j and place it upon a substantial basis of support,
the Publisher desires most earnestly to direct the
attention of the thinking public of America to its
claims upon their consideration.
The main feature of the CRITERION is its At
; eicm of Current Literature. In this department
are given thorough and able criticisms of all the
most important books as they are issued, pointing
out their chief characteristics, and indicating their
: moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers inform.*
j ed of all new publications which deserve their at
tention.
IT .ALSO CONTAINS
Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary
World; Gossip concerning Books and Writers;
( Announcements of contemplated Publications; and
I Lists of New Books issued in America and Europe.
The Drama, Music, Fine Arts and Science, also
i receive attention, aud several columns of carefully
i selected and agreeable matter are given in eacn
'number. In addition to the above .there is a de
partment of Miscellanea for reading, of an enter- j
taining character, carefully selected from new books :
i and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection of
1 Notes and Queries, which contains a great variety
of curious and valuable information.
It is confidently believed that a journal such as ■
; the CRITERION, cannot fail to have a good effect
| upon our national literature, and to some extent
' upon our national character. It will be found es- '
■ peciallv valuable in directing the attention of youth I
; to works of real excellence, and encouraging an
i appreciation for valuable reading, which is being |
i rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial ;
and sophistical books. To the reading man the j
literary intelligence alone mjist render it very de- I
sirable; and to all who wish to promote an im
provement in taste, the encouragement of merit,
and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious
style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an
enterprise cannot- at least, should not—be indif
ferent.
To members of Historical, Literary and Scien
tific Societies, Lycecms and Debating Ucubs,
the subjects discussed in this paper will, at all i
times, prove of peculiar interest, and it is the de
sign of the editors to thoroughly canvass, from
time to time, those important philosophical ques
tions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting
false theories, and encouraging profitable invest;- j
gat ion.
The CRITERION is published at £8 per annum,
payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad
vance. Specimen copies supplied, on application
to the Publisher. CHARLES 11. RODE, I

intimate knowledge of every section, and Ids expe

At Thomson, Georyia.
THU undersigned having permanently located
H- as Teachers, respectfully solicit the patronage
of their friends and the public generally. From
several years’ experience in teaching, and a con
stant attention to the duties of their profession,
they flatter themselves that the system of instruc
tion which they arc now prepared to give Students
pursuing a regular classical course, cannot be sur
passed by any similar Institution in the State. To
parents, therefore, designing to give their sons a
Collegiate education, their services are especially
tendered, since a thorough acquaintance with the
preparatory studies is indispensable to the Stu
dent's progress throughout his whole course. Their
Academy Pupils will be prepared to enter the high
er classes ot College, or if preferred, thoroughly
instructed in a more practical and business course.
The accessibility, health and quietness of their
location —its freedom from scenes and causes of
dissipation—induce them to hope for a continuance
of that liberal patronage, which for many years
they have not failed to secure.
A strict regard will be paid to moral training,
aud the general deportment of each pupil carefully
observed.
The Academies for the Male and Female pupils
are separate—also, their Boarding Houses, while
the government, discipline, course of studies, Ac.,
of both departments, will be under the control and
supervision of the Principal.
Although not required, it is preferred that pupils
be boarded with the Teachers.
