Auv information on this subject, is always a matter ot interest to our readers. We have copied a Circular issued in New York on which there has been much speculation nod which his been, bailed by many as a ••measure of deliverance” under the pres ent embarrassing circumstances of trade, and money matters. This we )nts? if will be to a considerable extent. We copy the remarks of several writers on the subject, all of which follow ; which the reader can pe ruse and then judge for himself The U. States Bank is generally believed to he a narty in tiie matter ; but the remarks of the National Gazette, if correct, shows it to be otherwise. But it will still remain the be lief of many, that the Bank indirectly gives its aid m the matter. —Macon Messenger. CIRCULAR. Kkw York, 6th June, 1839. \ on have doubtless received the unfavor able advices by the Great Western in rela ti Mi to the cotton market. These advices, it is ] apprehended, do not disclose even to ihe lull extent, the dangerous situation in which our great staple is placed. The diminished demand for yarns and cotton goods on the continent : the 6hort harvest of the last year; the shipment of hull ion from the Bank of Kngland; must ail itieveitabiy tend to a greater nul more accelerated decline in prices, ifsoins steps are not promptly taken to prevent the re maining stock of cotton now in the coun try from being offered for immediate sale in the markets. If the consumption of raw cotton in En gland had only diminished some 10 or 15 per cent , s'ili in consequence of the now « le nly ascertained deficiency in the last Year’s crop, (which has fallen as low as the lowest estimate) past prices would nor on ly have been safe to the shippers, but profit a ilc, and hence they are not obnoxious to tie charge of unwarrantable speculation, sviiio1 1 so often deprives the spirit of rash commercial adventure of all just claim 'o sympathy. I’iiis extraordinary falling off'in the loc ranip iiu of the raw material is, perhaps, rut a little ai led by a determination on the put of the English spinner to have tilt- resi due of the crop -’t his own price, under t o h i that m the <rrc.it a >.l tenacious luilJer "i the last year is out of the market, there ! \ii - s it) serious difficulty in his way. by working short hours, to accomplish this dc *.rable en i. It becomes necessary, therc t "... m supply the absence of tins great protector by some, co-operation among in divi lua! interests. Now it is quite obvious tlr.it but two modes would be likely to counteract the result that must otherwise inevitably flow from tiie causes just indicated. The. first would be to organize through the aid of the United States and the flanks ‘»t the principal emporiums of the different States a combination sufficiently powerful to advance a sum on each bag of Cotton on this side of the water which would ensure its being kept in this country for three months. i'iie other scheme would be to concen trate in one house in Liverpool, the whole or the greater part of the Cotton now to go forward, by an arrangement for unfailing adequate and collateral ends, sufficiently f o re.i ful to enable the house in question to hold over until a greater part of the present stock of Cotton in England is worked off at an advanced price ; a result which the •successful execution of this plan would in <• vita,»!y secure. The first scheme however ,s liable (notwithstanding its direct and im mediate power to produce the desired re -mlt.) to the conclusive objection of arr?sti’*g :, H our foreign exchange operations which might hazard the ability of our Banks, even in the Atlantic States, to continue specie payments, whilst the last would be entirely tree Irom this objection, as ir would at cfhee n ' tment the current of exchanges and cn a’de us to we idler the crisis, which ■ the brst plan would tie too apt to produce. I liesc vi :ws are the result of a conference which yesterday was held with one of the »nasj influential and intelligent merchants °t Philadelphia, in conjunction with com mercial gentlemen of equally high stipjip;g • io:a other portions of the Uui.-a. > I» is therefore announced to you on the best .authority that an arrangement has been made by which an advance of three-fourths [on what may be estimated as tlie present market price of cotton, say 14 cents] .will be made on every tale in tins country, at ail their principal shipping ports, to ail holders if they desire to avail themselves of the ad vantage. The con-iguients are to go for ward to Humphreys At Biddle, who sustain ed by adequate means on both sides of the water, will be able to hold ou uuitl prices Vi gorousty rally. If the usual casualties of the season ren der a short, or any thing under an average crop, probable, this plan must result in in great profit to shippers and benefit to our country. It,on the other hand, the autumn should disclose the piomises of *u abund ant harvest, the large stock of cotton which Mesre. Humphreys & Buldle, in case the shipments made to them would hold, would probably induce the great and pouctful interest which sustains them to cuter the market in the United .States eariy in the au tumn, by advancing outlie first quarter of the crop, iu order to retain it on this side ot the water a reasonable period, so as to make the final result of the short crop of *B3B entirely safe to all American shippers and holders. A copy of this Circular is enclosed to the principal cotton facto is ami shippers, and presidents of the li uiks in the southern cit ies, to whom, with all proper deference, it is suggested, in case the advance on the shipment to Messrs. Humphrys & Biddle should not rover the lull convenience of the shippers, that the Institutions overwliich they preside do oiler, on good personal se curity, the residue ol the accon inodation which may he required. Your hearty co-operation in this plan is solicited, ol saving the interests of ourgreat staple, which must end in establishing, not its speculative value, but its fair price, ac cording to the just relationship supply and consumption bear to each other. Ana gent, empowered to disclose more fully these views, will be in your city in a few days, on his way to the South, and will he he prepan (1 to carry them fully into effect. U.

It ought to be remarked, that the bales this year are 15 per cent, short weight from the now gen eral use of smaller compressing boxes, with a view of rendering the cotton pack ages more portable* From the Columbus Enquirer. Comm Emir, that full blooded Arabian lancer of the Apalachicola Gazette has per petrated an article upon the results of popu lar conventions, when their destinies are wielded by that e’ass of animals usually known as Jat men. It chimes in so beauti fully with our reflections relative to that graceful and oltivalrous leader of the late Reduction Convention, that we give it a place in theptegent number to the exclu sion of some ideas of our owu . .State cotstitctioxs ani fat men.— We intend, after this, to be very cautious of the politics ol fat men. They may be cor rect and honest enough in little matters, perhaps ; but when it comes to the making or mending of-‘State Constitutions.” they won't answer. They have no proper no tion of the beauty of proportion—-of the fitness of things. In their own constitution tli e fleshy predominates. In their political •‘Con Bunions,” the selfish predominates ; and the result in both eases is an unwieldly figure, and an unbalanced instrument, which can’t work well. In the Convention, called for the purpose of forming a “Constitution” for a state gov ernment n our territory, Jenck.es, the fat man of Florida, held a very prominent posi tion. In fact he was the greatest man in the Convention. 1 u ■ lie first place, he weigh ed <l5O, or pei Imps five hundred; in the se coml phice, lie voted file proxies; that is, he answered for live absent members elect; in the third place, lie retained in his own person, all the management, tart, industry and talent, which belonged to the whole eastern delegation. He not only voted for tho five members absent, but lie controlled the votes of th.- balance of the eastern mem bers t resent, .1 euckes therefore, the fat man »t I'toi id a, was the greatest personage in the St. Joseph Convention. He held in his hand the vote of the eastern dis trict and in case of any little split ting between the middle and the west, his own aye or nay, which reverbera ted through the halls like hoarse thunder, gave law to 'be whole body. What was the consequence? Why, he made a constitu tion for Florida, so out of proportion, so ugly in some of its parts that he could’nt vote it himself. They have lately he’d a Convention, in Georgia, for the purpose of amending their Constitution. But it seems to be the op inion of the people of that state that the amendments proposed, are more absurd than the errors they were intended to a mend. And this result is charged entirely to'he influence of Springer, the fat man oj Georgia. Springer is fully as great a tnai as Jenckes. If, possibly, he is not quiet so fat, ygt lie is a little longer iu ihe legs, lar ger in his na'he preparations, and fully e 'jual to him in shrewdness and decision o character. Although he vote*! no proxies, yet the Union party of Georgia were excel lently well drilled, worked well iu harness, and voted with their fat leader, without a dissentient murmur. They remodeled their constitution alter the model which the fat man presented ; and the result of their labors will, we presume, share the fate of the constitution, elaborated by the .fat man of Florida. It will not be sufficiently at tractive to secure the affections of the peo ple. Are wr not right, therefore, in keeping a slim p eye outlie political movements of fat men ! Last week we recorded another murder in this cotjnty. To day we have to announce with shame that 31 r. Hamilton Duke, a re spectable and peaceable citizen of Talbot county, was on Monday last dajgerouslv stabbed in *irard, Alabama, by a man named Munroc Lynch.

Mr. Needham Pervis was accidentally thrown from his horse a few days ago, while riding out of town, and was so seriously ipr jured that his life has been despaired of. He is still alive however, but is not expected to recover. • *144 Wc regret to learn that Gov. Gilmer is lying dangerously ill. and that but ltttle hope is entertained of his recovery. His long and faithful public services, and his wise and impartial administration as Executive of the State, have endeared him to the people of Georgia, while his many private virtueshave rendered him as beloved in the domestic cir cle. There is no individual in the State whose death wnuldbc more deeply deplored than that of Gov. Gilmer. An individual calling himself W. J. Laurence was arrested a few days ago, and is now in the custody of a gentleman of this place, under the charge, derived from his own confession, of having murdered Capt. Mitchell of the U. S- Troops in Florida. He stated in an unguarded moment, that he was a Lieutenant in the army, and that his officer, Capt. Mitchell during a quarrel, struck him with a sword and that he im mediately drew his pistol and shot him dead upon the. spot, and escaped as far as this place. He stated further that a large reward lias been offered for his apprehension, and was fearful that be would be taken and carried bad; to the army where he knew that severe punishment awaited him. The drought still continues to parch the land. In this section of country the corn crops are almost entirely destroyed, and cot ton itself is beginning to wi lier and die. The prospect is truly gloomy. We re joice however that the evil is not universal throughout the country. In a recent trip to Sumter county, we observed many flour ishing crops of corn and cotton, which seemed not to have suffered a day, and the late copious rains with which they have been favored, have almost placed them out of the reach of barm. Some of our friends about Lantinhassee have bad roasting ears in abundance lor more than two weeks. We would respectfully inform those of our friends who have manifested an interest in our proposition to publish in this place an Agricultural paper, that we have declined the publication of that work, iu consequence of a similar enterprise having been previously projected, (of which we were not apprised until after we bad issued our Prospectus,) by the Siik and Agricultural society recent ly organized in Columbus. We proposed the publication under a deep sense ot its ne cessity and importance to the great farming interests of the country, and wc have now sufficient assurance that the undertaking would be amply sustained; since, however, we find that the desideratum is likely to be supplied, by the commencement of a work under the superior advantages to be detived from the labors of a society, having for its object the improvement of Agriculture as a science, we arc not disposed to interpose even the slightest obstacle to the advancement and complete success of an enterprise which we regard so highly. Instead, therefore, of lessening the chances of success, Jky dividing the patronage of the community, we would prefer that all should unite, and lend a help ing hand in establishing in Western Ueotgia a work that will enlighten and elevate the’ r views upou Agricultural subjects, and thus euhance the labors of the planter. Such work we understand, will shortly be com. menced by our enterprising neighbors of the t'olumbus Enquirer, under the auspices ol the Agricultural Society. We tender our sincere thanks to our farming friends who have taken an interest in our proposed pro ject, and would recommend to them insteadi the “Southern Silk Journal and Farmers- Register,” which we hare no doubt will be ably conducted by Messrs Williams & Chap man. We have received a Prospcetus of anew Literary paper entitled the Southern Bee. to be published in Columbus under the conduct of Messrs. Win. J. Ellis and Jas 11. Tick nor. We arc pleased :o see this in dication of the growth of Southern Litera ture, and would fain ho|>e that the days o! our vassal lage to the North in Literary mat ters as in every tiling else, are approaching a termination. That the South has genius and talent, we need no other evidence than the occas ional productions we meet with emanating from Southern pens; until lately however, there has been nothing to foster aud en courage this talent, and no medium through which it could find its way to the light. Since the establishment of the Augusta Mirror and the Southern Post, competitors for literary honors are springing upon every side around, and a laudable emulation has been excited which promises to bring into the barren field of Southern authorship, productions worthy of the most advanced State of literature in any country. Two literary papers however, are insufficient for a population of upwards of six hundred thousand, and as Western Georgia is yet without an organ of this kind, we are glad to see that the deficiency is about to be sttp plied. We heartily wish the editors and publisher every success. SUMMARY OF NEWS. Mr. Van Buren is out on an electioneer ing tour, and is expected to attend a politi cal Convention of Van Buren young men in the State of New York, on the 25iii.of July. Go it Van, you’ll need help. Gov. Gannon, it is sail, will be re-elected in Tennessee, over his opponent, Col. Polk, by a majority of from 15,000 to 20.000 votes. So, it seems he is not to be Pol/c-cd out. It is stated in a London paper that Ellen Tree has realized a profit of $50(000 during her present theatrical tour iu this country. An atlcmpt was lately made to set fire to .he town of Crawfordville, in this State, but was discovered before any serious injury was done. Two young men have been arrested on suspicion of being the incendiaries. The proceeds of the Swartwout sale were between 11 and 12,000 dollars. Lieut. Moore, of the U. S. Navy, has de clined the appointment of Commander in chief of the Tcxian Navy. The house ofßennct, Forridays & Cos. in Vicksburg, Miss, has failed for upwards of a million of dollars. The beautiful town of Fort Gibson, in Miss, lias been almost totally destroyed by file. Loss estimated at about $1,000,000. The Federal Uniatt lias published a long farrago, which it styles the speech of Mr. Springer, in the Convention, as written but not spoken. The people, in every section of country that we have heard from, are, without re gard to party, opposed to Ratification. Free Banking in Michigan was annulled at the last session of the Legislature of that State, and seems to be a dead letter in this, having as yet been applied to no use. The New York Commercial Advertiser asserts upon good authority, that the clamor raised about Mr. Webster having received a large amount of money by subscription, is without foundation, and that he has not received, “one dollar or any other sutn as an absolute gift; or as a gift in the shape of a loan,” and defies the production of proof. The Florida, ivar, it seems was suspen ded in order to give tlie government officers a chance to speculate unon the public lands to be sold in that Territory the eusuing Month. Mr. Esjiy is lecturing iu New York on the law of storms. We shall soon set him down among the other humbugs of the day, without he puts his theory into practice; we should like for him to make the experiment in this neighbourhood. The United States Bank disclaims all connection with the cotton circular. There seems to be a diversity of opinion in relation to the policy of tho measure. The President has appointed John L Stephens, Esq. the European traveller, to the Diploma'ic agency to Gautemala in the place of Mr. Leggett, deceased. George ilili Ksq. has been appointed U. S..Consul for the Southwestern portion of Ttt'key in Asia. The Van Ilttren Democrats of Virginia after shouting “all hail to Logan!” until their throais are sort, are surprised to find that, that county Ins returned a Wnig.— They now sing or rather cioak “Oh dear what can the matter be l" Difference between Use cash and credit systems. —A sportsman in Mis o tri adverti ses a dog for sale, terms, “twenty dollar* cash, —one hundred dollars credit.” FOR THE MtUP.OR.

GEORGETOWN A severe batttle was fought on the 26th tilt, between the company of millittia,. con sisting of about 35 tnen, under the com mand of Capt. Bird, and a large body of Indians. The engagement took place on Little River, about 13 miles above Fort Smith. On the afternoon of that day sev eral Indians were discovered by the scouts, and were immediately pursued by the whole company. The Indians at length disappear ed in a thicket, and the company on ap proaching it found that it was literally filled with Indians, who opened upon them a des tractive fire. Nothing daunted, however, they charged upon the enemy, and in a few moments completely routed them, and rained possession of the ground which they had occupied. The Indians soon after rat ied again, and made repeated attacks up on them, hut in vain. They were repeat ‘dly repulsed with great loss. This heroic band sustained their position for more than •wo hours, against four times their owe number of the enemy. Tow ards sunset the Indian chief, apparently enraged to be thus held at bay by a force so greatly inferiot to his own, collected all his warriors and made one desperate charge, but when he arrived within about thirty steps at the head of his men, lie was shot down, and remainder ot the enemy, seeing him fall, raised a hide nus yell and fled, leaving him and about forty of their companions dead on the field. This victory will undoubtedly be of im mense benefit to the citizens ol the frontier settlements in that section, as these hordes of savages have infested that region for many months, and have hitherto held complete possession of tlie country. They will cow be compelled to retire further northward, and leave those settlers in the undisturbed possession of their improvements. Houston ( Texas) Telegraph June G. TIIE WEATHER.
