- ( Loudon, have been well kuown, and their
Sti, ’ -..ue,! considerable tilann, but when tbe
fy. of D. & A. Denny &. Co., and Gurnell &.
Hros. of Glasgow, were kuown to have suspended
ravm’cut, ■ general feeling of apprehension, beyond
the limiU of die corn trade spread far and wide.
It is thought, ou this side, that the losses of Messrs,
fbiny will he felt severely iu New Orleans and
^ Th' Loudou discount houses are great sufferers.
The stoppage of Messrs. Garnell Bros., was caus-
i i,y the non-arrivid of tlio last China Mail, and its
effect* have already widely extended, as the cont-
_Um/in» of tlio house were considerable with
CaTtou, Lima, and Valparaiso. Tho failure of
Arausi, (reported iu a former arrival.) iu l’ari*, al
so connected with the Pacific trade, created a great
venation, the liabilities being betweeu 2 and
£300 0000. The failures in Veuice, Genoa and
Paris, increased the geueral gloom. It may there
fore be readily imagined what counteraction was
caused ia Loudou on the 11 th Sept., wbeu it trans
pired thai Messrs. A- A. Gower, Nephew* &. Co.,
of Coleman •tree!, bad stopped payment. The
extensive hanking nud commercial relations of tbe
house with Italy. Spain, France, South America,
India, and the United States, cannot fail to produce
corresponding mischievous results. Tbe houso
had been established nearly a century, and die
founder died 20 year* ago, at an advuuced age,
with about £400,000. llis nephews have since
carried on the bushiest. Mabel Lewis Gower, the
prescut chief, has been a director of the Bank of
England tor many years, and ha* also taken tut ac
tive psrt iu tlio Company of Royal Cop ter Mines,
Luthi* couuectiou with die latter body is said to
have lately ceased. The liabilities of tit) bouse u p-
oa acceptance alone, was said to nut'Jim! to £(>00,-
000. The other engagement# wo should think
cannot f..Tl to bring die total niuouut t > nearly half
a million, the house of Cumberbridgo & Co., of
London and Valparaiso, of which Brin oue of the
Cjjwers is a partuer, was immediately compelled
la stop payment.
It would he improper at dtis moment to aunnud-
v*rt upon the act of the parties iu Messrs. Gowers’
firm, which may accelerate iu ruiu, but it is plain
ly slated that losses ou railway share* contributed
to theirpnsolveiicy, whilst the failure of Messrs.
Darnell & Brothers, of Glasgow, aud the turn which
political affairs have taken iu Spaiu, with which
country Messrs. Gawors were deeply compromis
ed, have uo doubt been the immediate cause of the
catastrophe.
Tito failure of another Bunk director no recent
ly after tho disqualification of Mr. Kohinsou, has
.revived angry animadversions against the estali-
liahmrnt of tint Batik of Euglaud. Mr. A.. I..
Gowers being at preseut out of ofli.-e by rotation,
no change of officer* will be rendered ucucs-
The public bad scarcely recovered from the
shock, wli-'u it further transpired Uiat Messrs. Sau-
dersou & Co., kill brokers, which house stood sec
ond in tho metropolis iu their brunch of business,
b id suspemled payuieut- They were known to
lie heavy sufferers by Messrs. Leslie, Alexander &
tf Jo., slid Gower, Nephew &. Co., uud u severe ran
having lieeu made upon them for money of thor
-depositors IielJ at cull, they were coni|K‘lled to
•lop. It is quite impossible to esthnate lhe extent
of llioir liabilities, us llic amount of their endorse
ments on papes iucireulalioii mast he enormous.
Whilst closing thia fearful catalogue of failures,
the intelligence reached us that Reid, Irving & Co.
of L >uJuu,oiie of the oldest houses iu the iirai'nitnic
Irade, besides having considerable kusiuess vvidi
the continent aud the United Stales, have been
stomp.died to stop pawn uit by the death of Mr.
John Irving, M. I’, lor tuterior, which happened
nliout two years ago. The house lost tile benefit
of bis sig.icity uud experience, but his property
siesceuJed to his uepbuw, a partuer ill the house.
hir Job a Key Koid, tho present chief, was Gover
nor of the lisuk of England iu 13J3, and still bolds
a seat iu direction.
Thus nj less than three Bunk Directors havesac-
enmbed to tho times witliiu the last four weeks.
It is stated iu the L iudou Exchange, that a gea-
tleni.iu connected with tho firm of Prime, W ard
& Co. of New York, arrived by the American
steamer, and that his presence iu <lie city had giy-
■eii confidence slid satisfaction. The hills ot tills
houso U|Miu Uvereud, Gurney ft Co., which arrived
by the C.iiubria, bsve been accepted iu due course.
The amount, however, was only £2,030.
Messrs. Gowers’ failure, it is fuareif, seriously af
fect* the monied iustitntiua in the United titan,*,
which is in the habit of drawing oa them. The
Ohio Life and Trust Company, which has stood
high, aud deservedly so, iu public estimation, be
ing one of thuse which iu 1837 honorably fulfilled
all their engagements, it was anticipated, would
have a large umouut of their drafU ou Gower’s
house returned by the Hiberuia, but ithus been ar
ranged that tho Ohio Company's bills, accepted,
will be taken by Messrs. Barnet, Iloare*& Co.,
the Loudou hankers.
Tbe bill* received by the Cambria the Gowers
offered to accept, but the holders will probably
prefer returning them to the Uuited State*. It is
that the Ohio Life and Trust Company will be cred
itors of Messrs. Gowers, Nephews ft- Co., for not
lets than £30,000.
The relaxation of tite stringent measure* of the
llauk of Euglaud iu allowing loan* ou hills and
stocks at i per cent, till the 1«Jt of October, how
ever it may have rendered facilities in some quar
ters, has not, as we anticipated, improved tho po
sition of tho Bank itself
Iu tlio last four weeks there has been a decrease
of bnlliou in the Bunk of England, to the amount
or£371,8i>5. Id tite last three weeks oufy, the se
curities and tite bills discounted increased to the
extent of £ 1 ,<>87,039. The kulliou decreased £ 31 o,-
546, whilst the reserve fttud; which had decreased
considerably, has recovered itself iu the lost week,
under the circumstances, with a smaller amount ot
bullion than the Bank has ever had since tite bank
charter act. It could have beeu only an earnest
desire to relieve the commercial body, which in
duced the bank director# so far to depart from prin
ciple as to lend money at 5 per cent., when its ac
tual value was higher iu the market. _
At Puri* on the 3d iust- the Sardinian Ambassa

The corn market, at the latest Moment, appeared

Northern anil Somlicrn Colleges.
. Tho Carlisle, l’a. Herald, contains a list of the
faculty of Dickinson College in that place, among
whom we rccoguizo tho name of the Rev. JOHN
McCLINTOCh, A. M., Professor of the Greek aud
Latin Languages aud Literature. This Mr. Mc-
Clmtock, it will be reiueiubescJ, figured quite con
spicuously iu the reccut Abolition riul* in tlmt
town, iu one of which a citizen of Maryland, while
iu the aet of reclaiming a fugitive slave, was mor
tally wounded. For hi* jiarticipatiou iu this out-
rago tho Revoreud Professor was subjected to a
mock trial, nud was acquitted in tho teeth of the
most incontrovertible evidence of his guilt. Aud
yet in despite of this fact we perceive that lie is
again appointed to fill au important Chair iu Dick-
iitsou College—an iustitutiou which has numbered
heretofore among its students not a lew from the
Southern States. IVe hope that no Southern luau
will hereafter permit oue of his sons or wurds to
enter the walls of a Cnll -ge iu which such a man
as Prof. McCliutock has been, uuder such circum
stances* reappointed a teacher. Even under ordi
nary circumstances we cauuot perceive any wis
dom or propriety iu the too common practice of
sending Southern youth to Northern institutions of
learuing, win <t we have within our own borders
Semiuarics of equal merit, if not of oqual celebrity,
languishing fur want of the support thus given to
strangers. But if, from a false idea of the supe
rior advantages presented by the mure richly en
dowed Colleges uud Universities of the North, |ui-
tents nud guardians in the slaveliolding States will
coutiuue to give them the preference over similar
institution* aiiioug themselves, we resjicclfuliy
suggest that they should at least discriminate so far
between them us to withhold their patrouoge from
those, which, like Dickinson College, reappoints
as a member of its Faculty au Abolitionist, so rabid
as to induce him to head a mob of negroes in u vi
olent attempt to deprive u Southern slaveholder ef
liis property, iu endeavoring to recluim which he
full a victim to the fury of liis infamous assailants.
At this moment. Mr. McCliutock, instead of filling
an houurable position iu a College, would have
been suffering the penalty of the law, as the
leader of uu Abolition mob, aud as particept crimi-
nit iu a murder, had uot tite jury by which he wu*
acquitted feared popular opinion at lutue more
than they did tite sin of pcijury. Be this us it tuay,
however, Professor McCliutock is not a fit teacher
of Southern youth, nor is the College that retain*
him ia iu service worthy of Southern patronage.
Cotton.—Georgia Sea Island cotton is of a dull
butter tint, the filameut being some three tm.es
longer than that of the Iudiau ccttou wool. To-
fibres are cyliudric or spiral, aed deuce the ca*o
willt which they urespun into c-Hlou thread.
Georgia Upland cottou is good for course yarns.
The Staple is short, light auufeeble. It was called
for a luug time-Bowed cotton,” from the fact that
it was separated from tho seed by the blows of u
huw-striug.
Teuuesseecottou isof nearly the same quality as
the Georgia Upland, except that it is cleaner aud
the staple u little longer.
New Orleaus cottou is superior to the last two
named kinds, mid may ho said to occupy a middle
point between Sea Island nud Georgia Upland.
Pernambuco cotton has a fine long staple, clean
nnd uniform, and yarns iniule from it are in great
request among the stocking weavers.
Uciunrani, Berenice, aud M arauham cottons are
fiueaud glossy, and well cleaned. '1 bev are span
iuto a lair stout yarn.
Bahia cotton is better than either of the two
kinds last named.
Suriuimi cotton has n long staple, aud is fniutly
tinged wiih yellow. It is clean and much sought
alter by hosiers.
West India cotton is from B mrbou seed; the
staple is fiuu aud silky, but uot well prepared.
Barbadoe* cottou has a short staple, but is silky

shown what the profit* have been on Cottou man
ufacture*, at the North and iu Georgia. I have eu-
Methodist aud Baptist; two or three stores, a resi
dent minority—hut we believe uot yet a lawyer—
a-w * .ic m fcMiwiityor -own*,
them in Macon, aud the great advantages she pos
sesses for prosecuting them. These ndvantages
must be apparent to tbe observing. A first-rale
water power, that is susceptible of practical use,
with less than one-half the expense that has beeu
incurred in tho Angusta water power—ample
communication with the interior and sea hoard—a
good and growing demand for Cottou manufac
tured guo.1,—an abundant supply of materials,
food and op. satires at hand; aud certain proGt iu
prospect, as the result of a prudent and energetic
prosecution of their business. I have also cuduav-
ored to show that a diversion of a portion of labor,
from Cotton culture to Manufactures, would re
sult in great advantage to Georgia, and particularly
to any town or city engaged in them. I have
shown the amount of our exports, and very near
what portion of them is paid for Northern manu
factures, which shows conclusively, that in this
very city of Macon, there is ample room and en
couragement for the investment of millions in Ma
nufactures. Then, if we wish Macon to thrive, we
must hear iu mind, that wealth is the producer of
industry, and our prosperity will depend on the
degree in which the productive powers of indus
try ore improved by us. We have ouly to look at
Lowell, Lawrence, and other manufacturing towns
at tho North, for groat improvements, by a division
of labor and right use of capital, or I should rather
say, a combination of labor and a right use of ma
chinery and manufacturing advantages, which
produce capital. This principle of combing capi
tal, to produce a division of labor, is what we wish
to iutx>ress on tho minds of our citizens. Two
persons assisting each other, will strike off more
sheets front one printing press, than working at
two presses, without concert. A Pin is tlio pro
duction of many persons’ united labor; the labor of
many is uuited, that the work may he easily divi
ded among them. Combination, therefore, is what
we want of Brick-makers, brick and stone Musons,
Carpenters, Iron founders, Machinists, Black
smith*, and till trades, to give their labor iu part
or whole for manufacturing stock; this will con
stitute u capital of itself, then if the capitalist wil
lend bis powerful aid, so much tho better, or if he
will take the lead aud let others cotubiue with hint,
it is all the same. This liuking together of tlio
productive powers of iudustry, will lead to a divi
sion of labor amougst all classes; to a growing cum-
ante of exchanges, between the agricultural and
manufacturing interests; to wealth and prosperity,
aud a flourishing city. '
This is wlttt wo wish Macon to he, and what
she will be, by the uuited action of her citizeus, for
the attainment of that object. I do hope our citi
zens Will give this subject a serious consideration
and awake to its importance, and that property
holders will bear in mmd, that the increase of
wealth aud population is to them of vital import
once. Laud u hicb now yields ouly garden or ac*
conuuoJalion rent, will yield building rent; loud
which uow yie!ds*only fanning rent, will yield gar
den rent; and luud leased for fanning, will pro
duce a high rent, aud bo more productive iu
profits.
I am aware, that iu advocating these views, 1
run. counter to the views aud feelings of u great
many exclusively agricultural stickler.'.,—uover-
theless, toe arguments advanced are bucked by
truth, os observation aud experience uhundautiy
prove. I bavc given practical \ ,ewx and informa
tion of things, which if followed out, will result
in increased prosperity to our city, aud happiness
to our citizens, with whom it remuius to deter
mine, whether objects of such paramount interest
shall be realized. Adieu. UC-’AMULUBE.

apjmars tii.it the present averagu umouut of bills

at £ 162,480,290; in 1835, at £101,350,762*, in 1839

A few weeks ago we liad tite pleasure of passiug

Daniel I’ratt is a remarkable instance of that
success which energy, enterprise nod worth of
character,-will everywhere secure.
JJe was bora in the Northern States, and left
Lowell for Savannah, Georgia, where lie became
engaged in liuildiug bridges, but without much
success. lie removed theuce to Alabama, with no
other effects than a few chattels, but blessed with
an energy which was indeed everything to him in
his slender fortunes. IVe heard au anecdote of Iris
industry at this period, in being discovered before
tite light of day with a supply of corn, which bod
been procured for his tauidy. But difficulties
such as these were nothing to so dauntless a spirit.
Mr. Pratt’s earliest business iu Alabama, was the
construction, ou a limited scale, of'cotton gins.—
This was about 1833 or 1834. Hi# first limited
E urcbaso was the privilege of water power. Ills
usiuess gradually progressed iu e&teut aud profit.
Tite present site of Pratt#villa was bought for $20,-
000 from Joseph May, aud coutaiu* 2,000 acres.
The purchase money was soon realized front tito
sale of gius, and promptly paid. At this period au
old saw-inill aud a few indifferent but* were all
that existed ou tbo place.
l’rattsvilie is situated 12 miles north-west from
Montgomery, on the west side of they\labma river
1 mile* front the towu of Washington, and 8
mile* from Robinson Springs, a fashionable water-
ill-' place. It is ou Autauga Creek, from which
the county takes its name. “Autauga” in the In-
dinu language signifies “Corn dumpling." Autau
ga creek is a bold, clear stream, supported by
beautiful springs which rise about 15 wiles from
its tnouth. It is the most uniform stream iu the
world—neither depressed by a protracted drought,
nor much swollen by heavy raius. It is conse
quently oue of the best character for mauofacto-
ncs, for it con always be depended upon. The
The fall is pretty rapid, and tho water can be
worked over every half mile. The bauks are kolJ,
Uinl the pine forest making up to the edge, so that
there is no swamp near the creek. The woods a
bouud with piue timber, tho country healthy, the
water good, navigation couveuieut, and. every
tiling is fovorable for the erection of extensive ma
nufactories. The bed of Autauga creek is of a
sand stone generally reaching across—hence tbe
foundation is superior for mills.
Mr. Pratt’s fortunes began to advance from this
purchase. His improvement* have been extraor
dinary, and one cauuot realize they have been
made iu so sbort a period, save by tho ivaud of nn

Wilmington, N. C., Jan. lith, 1647.
Dr. Swayne—Dear Sir; lijving been almost mirac
ulously cured by your valuable medicine. I think it
uot more than common gratitude in me to ma.ee one
addition to the long list ot certificates which you have
received ol remarkable cures by your medicine. Dar-
iug the two years preceding lust August, I was very
much distressed by a very bad coid aud nicking cougn
and during the latter pait oi the time, it continued to
grow worse, and indeed in July ray trieuds gave me
over, having tried all kinds of medicine, said to be
good lor such diseases, without the least good effect.
1 was reduced almost to a perfect corpse, and had
scarcely auy flesh upon my hinly, aud for a long time
never thought to rise Item my bed again. A friend
one day asked me if I had tried Dr. divatxk’s com
pound Syrup or Wild Chkur V, aud advised me to
do so at once, as he heard that it hod worked a greet
many wouJerul cares. I took his advice, and alter,
using up severful buttle of it, I grew so much better
that 1 was enabled to leave my bed, and afterwards to
walk about the house, and go oat into the street, 1
was encouraged by this, aiidcoutiuueu the use iff your
Medicine, aud uow, by means of its wonderful curative
powers, I am perfectly well, aud enjoy the use of all
my faculties, just as much as if I had never been af
flicted hi the wav I have desorived to you, but humbly
hoping th . it will have iu inite of influence in caus
ing your vuluam.. medicine to be spread among man
kind, and in assisting to raise you to that station
which you richly deserve, for your persevering efforts
for the public good.
Respectfully your friend and admirer,

Comment on sueii evidcuce as the above is unite-
cessnry. A single trial will place Du. Sivatne’s com
pound Syrup or Wild Cherry beyond the reach of
competition iu the estimation of every patient. But
its healiug virtues will be its best recommendations.
Beware of tho worthless “Balsams," “Bitters,"
“Syrups," Ac. as they contain none oi tiic virtues of
the original preparation.

A few days ago. a lady called at the office in fine
health and looking as robust os though she never knew
what sickness was. To oar surprise she stated that
until recently, she had been sick for between three
aud four years with what was supposed to be con
sumption—that she had a violent cougli, night sweats,
with alternate chills and fever, and every usual synip-
tom of confirmed consumption. The result was, that
she became so emaciated as to present more tite ap*
pearauce of a akcleton than a living being. Provideu
ttally, she at this time heard of tbe wonderful cures
performed by Dr. Wis tar's Balsam of Wild Cherry,
and commenced using it herself. The effect was, tbst
she began to get better at once. By degrees, tbe
cougb left her, the chills and fever disappeared, and in
two months she again found herself in perfect health.

our physical system*. The tide of life seems to flow
faster through our veins, and if, as is sometimes the
case, it bears with it the seeds of disease, generated
by the luxurious living of winter, we shatt-be sure to
see and feel the effects in some shape or other. We
therefore recommend as a preparation which may be

cellent antiseptic, Sands’ Sanaparilla. It will prove
the best preventive oi tho eruption* so common in tbe

Business in all its branches. They are prepared to

Maom, Oct. 12, 1847. 3—3m
geesuon ot many
with the approbation of several distinguished gentle
men residing in different parts ol the Union ive have
concluded to enzunence a Newspaper bearing the a-
bbve title. The limits of a prospectus w-ill uot allow
us to go iuto a detailed statement cf the various caus
es which have prompted us to the undertaking. Suffi
cient for our present purpose is it to state, that every
true friend to the perpetuation oftthe Union of the States
must feci deeply mortified to witness the systematic
attempts ms staking to dissolve it—and cannot bur
deplore the silence oi the Northern press, generally,
upon the subject. A crisis is at hand. The “Aboli
tionists," “Liberty men” and advocates of the "Wil-
mot pros iso” seem determined cither to force our
rioutbr;-., brethren to sucenmb So their views, or, as tbe
alternative, sever the Union.
Frti'-a the apathy manifested in the North, it is sup
posed by many that North of. Mason's aud Dixon’s
line hat oue feeliug exists ou the subject; though this
is net so, still, our silence is well calculated to suit the
ends sought for by these demagogues. Wo are deter
mined, therefore, so far a* we are personally concern
ed. to do our part towurds correcting the evil.
When the institutions clone section of 1110 Union
are branded as “infamous," “wicked,'' and “deserving
the curse ol God”—particularly when those institu
tion, were sanctioned or recognized bye Washington,
nn Adams, a Jefferson, a Franklin, a ftenry, and their
contemporaries of Revolutionary days, we tbiuk it high
time to raise » warning voice and put an end to the
clamor. Is there more patriotism, more tore of coun
try, or a greater desire to see the present aud future
generations lmppy, contented and free,, actuating the
Abolitionists in tlieir present attempt to array one
portion of the Uniou against the other, than governed
the Heroes uuJ Sages of ’76 1 The comparison is
odious.
We huve said enough to enable the reader to under
stand us, and we promise on our part, all of our time,
our talent and iuflucnce to make the “Confederacy" a
usctul, instructive and invaluable iaraily newspaper.
We may add that we have engaged ns correspon
dents for the “Confederacy” several gentlemen of the
highest literary attainments. Were it politic or pru
dent, the names of gentlemen well known tlirougnont
the Union, as Statesmen and Patriots, and who have
contributed towards the getting up of the “Confedera
cy," mic-ht l>e given.
E^'Will those to whom this Prospectus is sent pro
cure ns a few subscribers and send os the names and
money. There is not apaperin the State possessing
the independence to oppose the present war upon our
Southern brethren end their institutions, "an-1 anticipa
ting opposition of tile most virulent and persoual char
acter, we cannot but hope that our distant friends will
lend a helping hand. We have already a sufficient
guaranty to promise tite continuanceoftlie "Confedera
cy" for one yearat least, still, we desire a circulation,
nt without tt our object cauuot he accomplished.
t^*Thc fi-'rt number of the paper wiu be issued a-
but tbe middle of October next.
Tekms:—The “Confederacy” will bo published
weekly on a fine white sheet) double medium size,
with new type, and present, at least in appearance,
one of the largest and handsomest papers published in
the Union. Tlio price will be 82 per annum, payable
invariably in advance. XVlierc several wish to club
together for the paper, tbe following will be the terms;
three copies, is; seven copies, $10; and fifteen copies,
$20.
{^“According tefn late decision of the Post Master
General, Post Masters can receive subscriptions and
remit the money under frank to publishers.
All communications in reference to the “Confedcra-
ex" should be a IdrcssedBP
