Temperance Convention,
The large and respectable meeting held by

the best evidence that could bo given of the
ride spread influence which this cause is gain-
I in Georgia. Delegates from almost every

suppression of the evil which these socie-
are intended to reform. On Thursday,
boLJ. A. Wingfield, of Putnam, delivered an
Lures* before the Convention, and a large and
L hncJ audience of ladies and gentlemen, on
lire subject of Temperance. This address for
psieness, elegance, beauty of diction, st rength

COTTOxTiTstlUAKE BAGS,
The “Chamber of Commerce” of Savannah,
at its late quarterly meeting, urges upon the
planters of Georgia to put up their cotton in
square bags; and we see that the subject has
called forth some very appropriate remarks,
from the Macon Messenger and Savannah Re
publican. We have heretofore taken occasion to
suggest the necessity of this course, and shall
do so again occasionally.
Heretofore the difference in price between
square and round cottons, in Macon and other
inland market*, lias been almost nominal, the
only real difference perceptible has been that
the square commanded more ready sale, wlwn
cotton was dull. For this reason the planter
has not found any necessity to change his old
custom of picking round bales. But this will
not be the case hereafter. A settled disposition
manifests itself among the buyers on the sea
board, to make a distinction in favor of square
packages, amounting probably to J of a cent,
per pound, which will of necessity force the
buyers of the interior, to make a similar change
in their prices. And it is certainly advisable,
for planters to see to the erecting of screws du
ring the summer, in order to avoid a loss which
has long been threatened, on round bags, and
which seems now about to fall on them at last
in real earnest.
What advantages result to the planter, in
packing his cotton in round bales? None that
we know.
What are the advantages of using the screw
to put up square bales ?
In the first place ; He avoids the necessity
of subjecting the packer to the dust and lint, un
avoidable in the operation of packing a round
bale, and which in lhc course of n season is
sufficient to affect his health ; ultimately, if not
immediately. Diseases which result from this
exposure of the lungs, are frequently charged to
other causes, when it has been produced by
this. In the secondplace; The screw saves
time ns it will pack a dozen bags, while a man
with a crow bar is packing one and a half; and
the operation can be performed, during such
weather as will not admit of other work, if the
screw is properly sheltered. In the third place;
square bags are most sought after, and com
mand a more ready sale during depress : ons in
the market. And in the fourth place ; Cotton
in square bales will always command its market
value, while in round, it is threatened with a
depreciation of a ^ of cent per pound, which is
nearly equal to the amount of the price of the
bagging and rope necessary to pack a bag.
And what is the price of erecting a screw to
pack cotton, that planters will submit to all
these inconveniences in preference to going to
the expense of having one. If a planter fur
nishes the timber, and assists in raising, he
can have a screw built at an expense of about
$30. It is true his labor in getting the timbers
is worth something, so it is in splitting rails to
repair fences, but who ever counts that except
among tlie necessary duties of a plantation, and
there arc always spare times, when either can
be done without injuring any other interest.
$0 this monstrous expense which all seem to
dread so much, amounts to an actual outlay of
about $30, perhaps a few dolluis more or a few
less, not varying materially from that sum.—

Tlirrc is little to remark in thu news by the
itnbria. We make the following summary
■ail extracts from the Journal of Commerce.
The steamship Cambria, Capt. Judkins, ar
rived at Boston no Sunday evening, a little past
9 o’clock. She left Liverpool at 25 minutes
past 5 o’clock on the 20th ult., and was tele
graphed at quarter past 7, June 1, evening,
having made her passage in 12 days and two
hours. The Cambria brought 59 passengers
froii Liverpool, and 18 from Halifax.

no doubt of its passage. The opposition to it
appeared tn have diminished.
Tho Cotton market remained as before.
There was a long discussion on the 16th, in
t'icHouseof Commons, in regard to manning
the Navy. Admiral Cockburn, Capt. Berko-

The Ttzan Mission.—The London Morn-

misapprehension as to the precise character in
*nich Mr. Ashbel Smith has returned from

recollected, up to a very few months ago,

COTTON BAGS.
We Iiuvo over anti again ottomptoJ to
arouse the pride of the planter, and promote his
pecuniary interest, by showing him, the advan
tages he would obtain by sending bis Cotton
to Market in square instead of round bales.—
The suggestion of tho single fact, that nearly
all the round bales that are shipped either for
the Northern or Liverpool Markets, are ship
ped from Snvannah, and most of it produced
in Central Georgia, should shame our planters
into the abandonment of the old fashioned ob
solete, slovenly mode of packing in round bales.
Tbo additional fact that the cotton in square-
packages is worth Jet. per lb. more, should
force our planters, who arc as keen at a trade,
and »s bard to bead as any Yankee that ever
migrated, into the adoption of tho improved
plan of packing in square bags. Wo ore glad
to perceive that the evil is about to be remedied
effectually. Wc abhor all kinds of combina
tions, but the Merchants of Savannah, should
do as the Merchants of Mobile and New Or
leans haVo long since done, establish fiixed
rules for the government of their local trade,
which in no instance are to be departed from.
While some rules of the kind, would not only
be to the interest of the shippers, but of the
Planter. The Savannah Chamber of Com
merce as will be seen Ity tbo following extract,
has taken the subject into consideration. Wo
shall take pleasure in facilitating their object,
either by disseminating their circulars, or using
our columns in convincing, if possible the
planter of his folly in persisting in an ugly old
c ustom, which the rest of the woild has
since exploded.
We understand from a private source, that
it is the intention of buyers in Savannah and
Macon, the ensuing season, to make a greater
distinction, in price than heretofore, b'-tween
square and round bales. The following ex
tract is front the proceedings of the Savannah
Chamber of Commerce.
“ An address to the Chamber from the Cot
ton Buyers of the city of Savannah, was pre
sented, setting forth in strong terms the inju-
nes imposed alike upon the commerce of tho
port and the interests of the planter, by the
custom of packing Cotton in Round Bales, and
it was upon motion resolved, that the Chamber
concur with the cotton buyers in]thc evil of
round bales, and that next to the disadvantage
accruing to the planter, by so putting up his
cotton, might be reckoned the loss arising from
the use of Bagging manufactured from cotton,
which lias been proven by experience to be so
generally deficient in strength, as to render the
bales unmerchantable by the time they reached
the sea-board. It was further determined
that the President should cause to be prepared
1.000 copies of the address, to be disseminated
among the planters of Georgia, accompanied
by such remaks as it might seem proper to
add.”
From the Savannah Repu blican.
Important to Planters.—Round Bales.
We are indebted loa friend for the subjoined
report of the Chamber of Commerce, at the
late quarterly meeting of that .body. That
portion of the report which relates to the ad*
dress ol the cotton buyers on the subject of
round bales, deserves the special attention of
our planting friends. It is a fuct which ouglil
to be known to them that at least eight tenths
of the cotton now on hand in this port and re
maining unsold, is of this class—that it is im
possible to sell round, so long as there is a sud-
ply of square bales on hand, nnd that when
sold it brings from ono to three, eighths of a cent
per pound less. This evil, too, seems to have
b en increased rather than diminished, by the in
troduction of the improved power prtss. The
square bales, by means of this, ore easily com.
pressed almost to the solidity of wood, and in
addition to the convenience of handling in this
form, there is so much room gained in stowing,
that the shippers save materially in freights.
These causes havo operated not only to the inju
ry of the trade of our city, but also to the dis
advantage of the planters themselves. In
Charleston and in the ports of the Gulf, round
bales are hardly known, in fact buyers will
scarcely take them at any price, because their
foreign and northern orders are almost exclu
sively for square hales. When wo consider
the comparatively small cost of the screws, and
other fixtures necessary to put up a cotton crop
in proper order, we cannot but express our as
tonishment that tho planters persist in a course
so injurious to themselves. We have heard it
suggested, that the buyers should combine and
refuse to purchase the round bales at all, or at
least not to buy, unless they can get them at
prices that would justify repacking. Such a
combination would not be likely to succeed,
though we think that such a difference in price
will, and ought to be made, as will compel the
planters in seif-defence to fit up screws and pre
pare their cotton in square packages. The
present is the proper season for making the nec
essary preparations, and wc would suggest to
the merchants of Savannah and Macon, the im
portance of preparing without delay a circular
to the planters on the subject, and taking meas
ures to have it put into tho bunds of every man
who trades at either city. A paper of the
kind, properly prepared, and retting forth clear
ly the advantages of this change, would have
a good i-flect. It might not accomplish the ob
ject at once, but it would certainly induce ma
ny men to abandon the round bales, even tho
present season, and if followed up by a similar
appeal in subsequent years, would entirely
remedy the evil. The plan of circulating the
“Address of the Buyer*,” in the manner spo
ken of in the Report, is well enough—it may
answer every purpose so far as it goes; but
the number proposed to be circulated is entire,
ly inadequate to the result desired to be pro
duced—besides a paper presenting the com
bined and harmonized views of the merchants
of both Savannah and Macon, would have in.
creased influence. We will revert to this sub
ject frequently. It is intimately connected-
with the interests of both planters and mer
chants, and should be kept constantly before
the public. Our columns are open to its discus
sion, and we respectfully solicit communica
tions in regard to it.
We cannot close those hurried remarks
without expressing the fullest approbation of
tho objects had in view by the Chamber, nnd
our hope that the efforts of its members may be
crowned with success. It is an institution
which deserves to be kept alive. Its influence
lias already been fell in the community, and
wcliopc to sec it sustained with increased vig
or.

To the Editor of the Telegraph Sp Republic: !
I sec: by the picsent merits of Jury No. 1, at 1
the last term of Bibb Superior Court, that they [
compla'n that their presentments aie too often i
overlooked and forgotten by those to whom I
they are directed. 1 concur with them to some 1
extent as to the disregard which is manifested j
in too many instances, to their recommenda^ t
lions, nnd to remedy tho evil of which they
complain, would advise a more careful inves- j
tigation on their part, of the subjects which :
they present as grievances before they require j
their suggestions to be tho bas : s by which the .
conduct of others is to be regulated.
They lament the hardships of petit jurors :
not receiving their full per diem pay allowed
by lawi and request the Justices of the Inferior
Court to pay the Jury certificates in preference
to all other claims. In other words they re
quire the Court to disregard the statute which
makes provision for the payment of Jurors,
which prescribes “that the county treasurer of
said county shall pay out of the county funds
in his I lands not otherwise appropriated, the
Juror’s certificates.” Now it i3 well known
to all who have investigated the financial con
dition of the county, that the present court can
not, by the most rigid economy during their
present term, discharge the pre existing debts,
towards^ which the future taxes of the county
have been appropriated* much less create a sur
plus or fund not otherwise appropriated for
the payment of thesejury certificates.
Again, the Jury recommend thi Court to use
the taxes raised last year for the support of the
poor (being the rise of two thousand dollars)
and to muke such provisions for their mainten
ance out of it, as their exigences may demand.
Had the jury investigated and ascertained the
actual condition of the county treasury, the
suffering poor would not have been tantalized
by the false hopes and sad disappointment
which the recommendation of this presentment
is calculated to produce. The present Court
have not the first dollar of available means at
their disposal to appropriate in this way. Not
only was the taxes raised last year for the sup
port of the poor, but those raised for the edu
cation of the indigirit and poor children, were
appropriated by the former Court to tlie keeper
of the poor house — the lion's den. Thus it
will be perceived that the jury in the first in
stance requests the Court to do that which
would he in violation of the law; and in the
second, to do an impossibility, or to perform
the miracle of extracting blood from a turnip ;
or what is equally difficult, money from empty
coffers.
Other recommendations of the jury are con
sidered not liable to the above objections, are
salutary and should be enforced. CJNUS.

Health of Mr, McDuffie.
The following card we take from the Charles
ton Mercury of lust week:
LODIMONT, >
Abbeville Dist., S. C.. May 2S, 1845. j
Mr. Editor:—To correct misstatements and
to relieve tlie anxiety of the many friends of
Gen. McDuffie; 1 am induced to report the state
of his health at thistimb.
Since the General’s return from Washington
he has been incessantly engaged in superin
tending and directing hb plantation affairs.—
The eXerciso and exciteniont connected with
this, had a favorable influence on his health un
til lotoly. nnd Im Iijul hnrmnn much more vigo
rous than he was during the winter. Since tho
weather became warm he continued to walk
and fatiguo himself imprudently on his planta
tion. He awoke on tho morning of the 20th
inst. feeling some stiffness and numbness in his
right arm auk leg, and concluded exercise
would relieve it; He tvalked two miles tb one
of his fields where his hands were at work, and
became more feeble, and had to take his over
seer’s arm to enable him to return to the house.
Ho lay down and soon after was conscious iie
had lost the partial use ofhis right arm and leg.
His head and intellect ore not tiff cted in the
slightest degree. The muscles of the lace are
unharmed. The sensibility of the arm and leg
is not impaired the least; nnd ho has perfect
commnnd over nnd use of some of the muscles
of those members. His general health is as
good as it was previous to the attack.
He remained at my house within a m le of
his plantation from the time ho was attacked till
the morning of the 2oth inst. After being as
sisted in his carriage he wns then able to drive
himself to Cherry Hill, a distance of 10 miles.
I visited the General yesterday, and was grat
ified to find him have more use ofhis arm and
hand than he had a few days previously, Ho
had wrote a short note and signed his nattfe
readily to a letter or two which I wrote for him.
T have been somewhat minute, but I am sure
| this report from his attending physician will be
satisfactory to his friends.
