I think, sir, w 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.

It is said the American assignees of Santa Anna have received the three millions of the suspended Mexican indemnity from the United States Trea sury. The Pitt burg OazftU says: “We fear we shall have to relinquish every h ipe of peaches next year. Since our last mention of the subject, some expc rienced growers have informed us that they have examined the buds, and find them killed. This is the prevailing testimony at the South and South west of us.’’ Mr. James G. Cox set out in December from Cadd’s Parish, La., with his family and slaves for Western Texas, but while crossing a prairie, forty miles wile, the cold became so intense that eight of the slaves perished, and two of las wagons were cut up and burned to preserve the lives of the rest of his party.

B PLUMB ACO < OMMKROIAL. 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.

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.

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.

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. SHIPPING N EWS. ARRIVALS FROM CHARLESTON.

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.

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.
