MACON:
Saturday Corning, October 30, 1838.
To City Subscriber*.
Our friends, in the city, who do not receive their pn
pers regularly will confer a favor on us by calling at the
office for them. The impossibility of immediately
supplying the place of our former Carrier, renders us
unable to furnish them as we have hitherto done.
{t>* Amid all the vexations of the times, and the
troubles that individuals of our profession are at all
times subject to, there is occasionally an encourage
ment to press onward, in the approbation of the good,
and the estimation of the judicious. Although, as it is
generally known, reward for toil hke ours, so far as pe
cuniary emolument is concerned, is much too small—
which we, in common with others, have found but too
true —yet, there are many incentives to march onward
in our avocation, so long as we can keep our head
above the waters. The associations that we have form
ed in different parts of our country, with individuals,
whom w’e prize higher than costly gems, we would not
part with for gold of any price. We cherish them as
gems to be obtained by no other price than the one that
has been offered, though poor enough indeed. With
these consolitory reflections, we shall address ourselves
to another year’s labor, strongly w ith the hope of final
success —which year commences with the next paper,
this being the last of the first volume of the “ Southern
Post.” We are not inclined to retrospect much far
ther, as our attention is drawn more to the future than
to the past. To the future we look for all—to the past
naught but guidance. It is our purpose to enlarge our
sheet, both for the convenience of readers and adver
tisers, whom we hope to deserve and have in abun
dance ; as it is upon the latter we are mainly depen
dant for support, and upon the former for encourage
ment. As to the course we shall pursue for another
year in the direction of our paper, it will be pretty much
the same as heretofore. We wish to make it a valua
ble miscellaneous paper, useful to all. We do not like
to deal too much in words and promises, but would
prefer our actions to speak for us—and as such, we
shall defer at present.
We hope that our old friends, who have assisted
in the dissemination of this paper, will give us another
lift —before they give up—for the new year. We have
been at considerable expense in obtaining other mate
rial for the enlargement of our paper, without expect
ing to get any additional pay for subscription. This is,
we hope, sufficient inducement for them to continue
their exertions in our behalf. 577* Those indebted to
us will please make payment as early as possible, a9 we
sr-j hard run at present to keep matters straight.—
Come, be just, then fear not.
Cotton,
We believe there has been little or no changes in tho
market prices this week. Fair lots demand 114 cent;—
prime 13—and strictly prime from 12$ to 12J. There is
but little coming in ibr the season. Our river continues
too low for much boating to be done as yet; there is how
ever a fair prospect at present for its raising. Business
eontinues to revive.
We have the pleastsrc*of announcing to our rea
ders that one of the Locomotives, (the first) belonging
to tin; Monroe Rail-Road Company, arrived yesterday
in one of the boats belonging to the Ochmulgee Steam
boat Company, together with several Cars. This is
quite an event in our boat arrivals, and from the hurried
progress the Road has recently made towards its com
pletion, we may soon have tin pleasure of a ride upon
the Road from this to Forsyth, in the short space of an
hour or an hour and a quarter.
The following is an exuact fun a etter of an
esteemed correspondent. It is, n sub «1; e
have received from many o hers heal iu Lite
tion. We tender our thanks for good wislu nd c n
only say, put your sho> lder to the wheel and help us,
and something will yet be rone.
* * * “ If what I could do, ei her by poetry or prose,
would aid to promote the tause of Literature in the
State, I would be willing to throw in my mite. How
few literary papers there are in the State ! V ha is
the reason ? They cannot meet with sufficient patr n
age. This is an evil at which every Georgian -ho and
blush. We are tossed, until we are heartily sick, on
the stormy sea of politics ; but I hope the day will soon
dawn when we shall be safely moored in the peaceful
haven of science and literature. I am under the im
pression you will soon have more subscribers in .
Success to every good cause, say I.”
The Races.
The industrious owners of the Track at this place,
have very much improved it both in appearance and for
use. The possition of the Track is materially altered
from that it occupied before, and no doubt much to its
advantage. An elegant new Booth-house has been
put up, wiih other convenient arrangements, all of
which the lovers of the Turf will no doubt find to en
hance much the pleasures of the occasion. The Races
come off on the 30th inst. Several fine Stables of Horsts
have already arrived and many more are expected.
B“srWe hope that the Commercial Convention now in
session, in Augusta, may be able to effect something tha t
will be of permanent and immediate utility to the cause of
the South, in the way of Direct Importations. This sub
ject has been made ajestofby some oftheNorthern pres
ses, in a manner not the least creditable to themselves,
nor at all honorable to those who gave birth and assis
tance to the praiseworthy and laudable enterprise. But
this is of no consequence save to show the fear existing*
that the result will be injurious to the North and benefi
cial to the South. The state of dependence heretofore
existing, they are fearful will be interrupted, else they
would not meddle with business with which they can
have no otherinterest.
We are gratified u. .jams..from my efi“ an
able representation from various parts ot Geoi„, G***.
..
»* Now that the people are nearly satisfied as to what
parties their representatives from the various counties
itptong; it would be well to inquire, who of these different
parties are Internal Improvement men, This subject will
probably compose the leading feature of the coming
Legislature, and upon which rests the main interests of
the State, according to her present relative position with
other communities and other interests. Local feeling
and party prejudices within our own borders will proba
bly cause much wrangling and disputation, but we hope
and believe that there will be sufficient talent, good sense
and impartiality, with enough of the energetic spirit of
the age, to legislate for the good of the entire State, and
carry out her leading and important measures, and that
without the enthralment of sectional views, and narrow
minded policy. The immense resources of our State
are unquestioned, and it only wants an impetus and
proper direction to be given towards developing them,
fly the State Legislature, for it to be put in such train as
to insure ultimate and great success. We look forward
to the completion of euch result* with confidence and
pleasure. * ,
Kr We have a number of communications on file,
which will receive as early attention as possible, most
of which will probably appear next week, if we have
room for them.

There sleep, sweet babe! thy mother sleeps
Beside thee : Ah! she slept before thee.
Thy father’s left behind :he weeps,
But not for thee ! Then sleep securely,
Thy tender form, beneath this sward,
Lies low. These pines, soft whisper, slumber!
Thv spirit’s part of his reward,
Who died to make thee of his number.
Secure from hope, or joy, or fear,
The world, all, circumstance impost,
Thy portion of this life of care,
One half of thorns—how less of roses ?
The blight of Death is come in spring—
Has nipt a bud, has crushed a flower —
Nor spared the stalk, the tendrils cling:
Oh, Death ! can none withstand thy power t
The world, sweet babe, account thee blest,
And say you’ve made a joyous exit—
Escaped a doom ! then rest! oh, rest!
Nor dread the blow, as man expects it.
You felt not scorn, nor would have felt
Protected by thy friends, and station ;
No foplings to thy charms have knelt.
Pure, unsullied by adulation,
Behold, vain man, e’en at thy shrine.
Attempting folly's vain attractions;
Yes, here he would essay to shine,
To captivate, unhallowed actions !
Thy Father weeps, but not for thee,
lie sighs foi her who fell before thee—
. May meet again—all happy—three ?
Nor one be left? “ Then rest securely." S.

From Baring's Circular.
London, 18/A Sept, 1838.
The return to specie payments by the banks in the
chief cities of the United States, and the restoration of
confidence, lead us to think that trade will soon recover
its accustomed regularity, and that our monthly re
marks on the state o! the markets may again become
useful. So far this rear, there has been but little activi
ty, and little or no speculation. Purchases have been
made to supply immediate wants ; in fact, a general
disinclination to hold stocks of goods has prevailed; at
the same time consumption appears not to have dimin
ished on any one article, while in cotton, Indigo, and
rice, it has increased.
Cotton —The following statement will shew the pro
bable result of this year’s operations:—
Stock on hand Jan. Ist, of all kinds, - 259,000 bales.
Imports to Aug. 31st, 1,220,000
1 479 000
Stock on hand Aug. Ist, ----- 599,000

or per week 25,143 bales, - - - 800,000

Egypt, 15,000
253,000
852,000
17 weeks consumption to Dec 31st, 25,143 43/,COO
Stock at close of the year, ----- 425,000
Increase of 1838 over|lß37, - - - - 168,OX)
This is the most favorable view that can be takeii, as
we may get much more Irom the United States, and the
Pacha of Egypt is said to have determined to ship his
crop, which he has been holding over the regular sea
son- and our letters from Bombay to the 3d j unestate,
that the quantity of Cotton on hand! was very large,
fully equal to what it was in 1836. and there would be
hardly room to ware-house it; if, therefore, a great
amount of tonnage should arrive there the export may
prove larger than we have estimated, and we have
supposed the export hence to continue the same to the
end of the year, which may not be the case. On the
suppositon,'therefore, that the American crops only
reach 1,700,000 hales the coming season, which would
admit of an export of 1,470,000 bales, there could be
scarcely anv dimunition of stocks in 1836, as Franc# and
Europe will' take direct about 428,000 bales, while Great
Britain for consumption and export, will probably only
require as much as in this year, about 9.50/ 0; the only
hope, therefore, lor Cotton is, in a smaller crop in the
United States, or to a complete ston to imports from
Bombay. Present priees are maintained by the large
proportions of the stock at Liverpool being in a few
hands, and those not disposed to realize, unless at pre
sent prices; the consequence is, that buyers will only
take what they require trom day to day, and foreseeing
no scarcity, there is no inducement for these to do other
wise ; if the large holders were determined to realize
rapidly, a decline in the price of id. would be the re
sult ; at that reduction speculators would probably come
forward. t

Morton's Pulmonic. Expectorant Cough
Syrup,
For Coughs, Colds, Asthiru.s, Consumptions and Whwip
ing Coughs.
AMONG the numerous complaints with which the
human family are aflicted, none are more common
than coughs’ colds, Se c. and none more fatal in their re
sults, unless timely care is taken to stop their progress
!>efore they become too firmly seated 11 [wn the lungs.—
Notwithstanding the many remedies that have been of
fered to the public, not any have heretofore proved sue
ceessful in procuring a certain and speedy relief.
The propneter having been an eye witness (for sever
al years) of the astonishing virtues of this extraordinary
Medicine, at length deems it his duty to offer it to th#
public, in a way that it may receiye a more extensiv#
circulation : and at a price that the pour may receive the
benefit of it as well as the rich.
This syrup is particularly efficatious in removing
coughs arising colds, attended with hoarseness and sore
ness abont the windpipe; likewise shortness of breath
ing, tightness acros the breaht, accompanied with a
tickling cough: and in all consumptive cases its use is
uurticularly recommended, likewise whooping cough is
jrreatly relieved by its use—children laboring under this
distressing disease, in innumerable instances have been
astonishingly benefitted in a few days: the pleasentnese
of it is a great advantage, as children will take it with
as much pleasure' as they will preserves.

Each bottle is sealed with the impression of moetow’s
pui.monic EXPECTOKANi- couoh syrup, plainly stamped

PATENT MACHINE SPREAD
STRENGTHENING PLASTER.
IN the prepnraiion of these very Superior and Ele
gant Plasters, no cost or trouble is spared to ensure
possible degree of perfection, i:i point of utility, elegance
and comfort. They are spread of various sizes on kids
of the best quality, by Machinery, invented expressly for
the jiur/xisc, (which gives them an advantage over every
plaster heretofore offered to the public) as by this mean#
they can be made of a uniform thickness, and free
from the inequality of surface which frequently prevents
others from adhering, or renders them irritating and
uncomfortable, an objection, which it is impossible to
avoid by the usual method of spreading Plasters
The composition used in these Plasters, is carefully
prepared at a lower temperature, from a combination o
valuable Resinous Gums, with the ad-mixture of sever
al choice aromatics, entirely separated from all extra
neous and irritating particles; and from its peculiar
combination ol highly strengthening, anodyne and
slightly stimulating properties it affords a pleasant and
effectual remedy, in all eases of pain in the side and
breast, weakness or oppression of the chest; pain or weak
ness of the back or loins ; Also, in the sense of sinking
and faitness at the pit of the stomach, accompanying
Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. In Rhematic, or pair?
ful affections of the limbs or joints, their Anodyne and
Stimulating properties render them particularly" benefi
cial. In Colds, Coughs, or Asthmatic A fee turns, they
will be found to give immediate and permanent relief.
Persons who from sedentary habits, or other causes, are
predisposed to affections of the lungs, will find these
Fl-sters an effectual security against those pulmonary
attacks which prove but two frequently, (when neglect
ed) the precursory symptoms ot Consumption; and in
deed in a climate like ours, where colds snd coughs are
an almost unfailing consequence of the sudden changes
to wnich all are subject, every one at all liable to suffer
from the influence of these causes would find the great
est possible security in having his ehest and lungs pro
tected by one of these invaluable Plasters.
To children suffering from ll hooping Cough, or
Colds affecting the chest or lungs, the sedative and ano
dyne properties of these Plasters, afford signal relief.
These Plasters being spread much more rapidly, as
well as better, by Machinery, are sold much lower than
Plasters spread in the usual method.
