COTTON MARKET.
Oar market for the past week has not
been so brisk as the previous one. The
receipts have not been large, and prices
have fallen a shade. We quote to-day
extremes 34 a ojc.
PROSPECTS IN WASHINGTON.
The fate of Texas with the present
Congress is still shrouded in doubt. Ab
olitionists still clamor against it; factious
wings are still jabbering about the consti
tutionality of Congress to admit new
states into the Union, and pretended de
mocrats are still shrinking and hesitating
upon this great measure. In this general
abandonment of a great national measure
because it will indirectly strengthen a
particular section of the Union, not the
leat mortifying spectacle presented to
southerners —to the patriotic in every sec
tion of the Union—is the unnatural posi
tion which southern Senators have assum
ed. They are still inexorable in their
course, and determined to sacrifice that
land upon which riot only every southern,
but every American eye is now fixed.
Texas is to be lost—foolishly cast off' anil
by southern men too, who, like the base
and perjured Judean, have not the hearts
to appreciate the value of the rich pearl
offered them. We subjoin the following
from the Richmond Enquirer of the 12th
inst. as the latest accounts from Wash
ington on the prospects of Texas:
“We scarcely know what to think of the
prospects of Texas. The information of
letters from Washington, by yesterday’s
mail is different—yet none of the corres
pondents exactly agree in opinion about
the proposition which is to prevail. All
hope—no one despairs. A better feel
ing, we hope, is getting up among the
members—as the importance of tl e ac
quisition is more fully appreciated—the
dangers of delay better understood—the
public sentiment more distinctly expres
sed. So little time, too, is allowed for
the decision—so little of the fag end of
the short sessiou remains, that the very
necessity of immediate action is calcula
ted to inspire a more conciliatory, com
promising, and business-like spirit. The
goal is near at hand, and little time is per
mitted for the play of the passions—for
the exertion of sinister influences, anil for
the operation of any obstacles which may
defeat the great wot kin hand. Congress
must ad journ on the night of the 3rd of
March, nnd within less than three weeks
from this day, which is fixed for the day
of’ proceeding in the Senate, t he contend
ing parties must close their labors. There
is, therefore, little time to concoct projects,
or to expand the debates. A more busi
ness-like spirit will, we hope, infuse itself
into the proceedings—and with the neces
sity of industry, will return the genius of
conciliation, concession and action.
The last accounts from Washington do
not so milch differ about the prospect of
success, ns about the mentis of achieving
it. All the letters, which we have seen
by yesterday’s mail, seem to agree that
something will be done, but not exactly
as to bow it is to lie effected. One cor
respondent says, that Brown’s resolutions
will be adopted ; another, that Benton’s
bill will pass; a third, that a combina
tion of the two will carry the day.”
IN T KR.VAI, IMPROV EME \T.
No country in the world equals our j
own in the number, length or cost ol its
gigantic improvements. Nearly all too of!
both our canals and railroads have been)
undertaken and completed by individual •
enlerprize and private capital.
There are now eighty eight rail roads |
in the United States in constant operation, j
besides numbers of smaller branches ex- i
tending from ten to twenty miles. They
extend in the aggregate over four thous
and seven hundred and fifty two miles !
In a few years more the Union will be
complete!}’ encircled by a magnificent
charm of improvements, and then indeed
will the iron age again return.
The road from Griffin to Savannah is
the sixth in length now in operation in the
United Stales.
CLASSICS*
American rage, ihnefor. —We take the
following illustration of the peculiar clm
racters of our people in that way from the
New Orleans Picayune. The sketch is
conceived iti a fine vein and is drawn to
the life:
Who says the people of the United Slates are
not a classical people? who says they are not learn
ed in ancient mythology, history and geography?
Such is their love of antique lore that whatever has
been consecrated by the lapse o!'?jgn, or made ven
erable by talents, notable by exploits, or wonderful
by science, is embalmed in America and made
common as household words. Such is the famil
iarity of our countrymen with the treasures of the
olden time, that we have known judges who think
and speak as Pericles thought and spoke, and a
moiety of the population eat and drink and sleep
and have their being and sequences of a learned
reminiscence. Is not the land studded with towns
and villages and hamlets rejoicing in names known
to fame? Have we not a score of Romes got up to
keep the eternal city, in countenance, and as many
Palmyras that perpetuate the memory of the city of
the desert, in glazed brick and whitewash? Where
can the traveller wend his way within the limits of
the Union, without stumbling upon Thebes, or
Cairo, or Alexandria, or Athens, or some other
monument of American learning? Nor have the
researches of the age been contiued to ancient to
pography. The city of Cicero pleads for the mem
ory of the great orator. The town of Hannibal
lays siege to the fame of the Carthagenian gene
ral, and in the village of Seneca the wayfaring
man, belated there, may study philosophy to profit
—as he will surely have need of it.
Poets too as well as philosophers and generals
have their admirers. Homer is located amid scene
ry sublime as his immortal verse, and Sappho over
looks a mountain rivulet whose tumblings remind
one of the lead from the Leucadian rock. Such is
the classica I furor of the American people, that de
ficiencies in corporate localities are supplied by do
mestic animals. If our country cannot boast a
"•mpey or a Cmsar, the inhabitants of as many
Rome* as there are sig is in the * odiac, have dogr
innumerable who bear those pr.iad appellations.—
In Carthage hull-terrier ail 1 pointer Dido* enjov
j the freedom of thecity with their piebald and s-.var-
I thy litters, and Juno vviih their docked tail and
i cropped ears is the terror of Olympus.
ill it be contended tint the inhthitaau of
1 Memphis know nothing >f E;ypt or that the citi
-1 zena of Troy are notl'a ni Ur with the story of An*
chises? Does any one dare charge the denizens of
i Acropolis with a deficiency in the lore of the philo
; sophera or suspect the naiives of Bagdad with ig
norance of the glories of Al Rnschid? The trulli'’is
; ihe children of this country take in the classics with
| their mothers’ milk. Their days of childhood are
spent iviih such play-felimvs as black Cupid and
dusky Cleopatra. They are reminded of the splen
dor oftlie East in riding Zenohia to water, and the
: destruction of Sodom by learning Lot “to fetch.”
I Solon* and , Solomons pick cotton in many a field,
and Juba looks askance at Diana as she hackles
i flax under the shade of a beech— sub tegminefagi.
’ From infancy to boyhood through the degrees of
i adolescence and manhood to decrepitude :7nd old
i age, our citizens are surrounded b.v the tokens of a
refined education, and in death they sleep within
the enclosure of Tusculum or m iulderaivav in cat
acombs of brick.
Nor is this zest for classical tilings on the wane.
The Legislature of New York recently changed
the name of the village of Remington to that of
Iliad—proving thereby that our public bodies are
filled with wise men, such as flourished in the
East. Remington! Phoebus, what a name to
stand betwixt Seneca and the sea side. Now that
poems as well as poets have found a ‘local habita
tion,’ anew vocabulary is opened to the proprie
tors of town plats. The noble example set by
New York might be improved and extended until
there was not a modern designation left to offend
tire ear with its raw and parvenu sound. Why
should not Louisville be called Odyssey, and Vicks
burg, E'ectra? The taste of the good people o(
those two cities is scandalised by living in towns
so villanously named. Our own s'r.te stands in
need of legislation in this behalf It is not lor us
to suggest the alterations necessary to be made to
the assembled wi.-.dotn of Louisiana. But with
proper attention to the subject tbeclassir.il diction
ary might become the directory of the United
States. Ought we to fall behind our sister States
in so sublime an enterprise? With all due pudi
citv—in Latin called pudicilia —we recommend
that the cities of Gretna and Algiers, which lie
adjacent toeadlr other, be called Castor and Poilux,
and that New Orleans and Lafayette, which are
coterminous and adjunct, be known, henceforth,as
Romulus an and Remus.
TEXAS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
We httiJ the misfortune of being consid
ered factionists by many of our friends
for the condemnatory remarks we made
a lew weeks since, in relation to the course
of a certain portion of the Democratic
party on the annexation question. We
believed then, anti still believe, that wc
were right; but have not time al present
to enlarge on this subject. We will only
herg add the conclusion of a letter ad
dressed by the Hon. Edmund Burke, of
New Hampshire to the New York News,
on the consequences to the Democratic
party of rejecting Texas. The remarks
are true in ever}’ particular, and the issue
which presents itself is simply the pros
tration of the great Democratic party oi
the country, or the overthrow of the Al
bany regency, with Messrs. Wright and
Van Boren at its head, and a lew strag
gling Democrats in the New England
States on the right, and the great Missou
rian on the left centre. This is the sim
ple issue before the party; and wherever
the people understand it we have no fears
as to tlte course they will adopt:
“ And I will take the liberty furthermore to add,
that if the measure of annexation shall be defeat
ed at this session of Congress, it will be done by
the quibbling and pettilogging of New York puli
ticiaus, in regard to the details; and then, these re
sults will, in toy belief, tblioiv :
“ It will necessarily make the annexation of Tex
as as a leading measure of the new administration.
It will be forced upon the administration as a party
measure, and parties in the Union will divide on
that measure.
“It will break down the Democracy of New
York, and throw her inevitably into the hands ol
the Whig party. It will have the same effect in
Connecticut, and probably in Maine. In New
Hampshire, whose Democracy has never wavered
or quailed in any crisis, we shall weather the storm.
“ Ttie end will be the prostration of the Denn c
racy of N’eiv York, anil all the States north ol iter,
except New Hampshire, and the ascendancy of a
Northern party, composed of Federalists, Aboli
tionists, and renegade Democrats. This Northern
party will not lie headed by any Democrat, how
ever illustrious lie may be, but it will be headed by
a Whig. And from all this, the Democratic party
will reap nothing but defeat and disgrace. ’
The New York Plebeian, in copying this, adds
in confirmation :
“ Yes, we reiterate, if annexation is defeated, it
will be bv the quibbling of a lew New York politi
cians. But it must not be defeated —it cannot be
defeated.”
FIRE IN NEW YORK.
i We learn by the New York Herald that
on the morning ot the sth inst. a terrible
lire was discovered to be raging in the
! block of buildings occupied as the Tri
bune printing establishment, corner ot
Spruce and Nassau streets. Every eflbrt
was made !>v the fire companies to mas
ter the raging element, but to no purpose,
and in the course of a couple ot hours
'alter the first notice of the blaze, the Tri
bune newspaper concern, the periodical
depot of Mr. W. 11. Graham, the book
seller’s and stationer’s establishment ot
Jansen &: Bell, the liquor store occupied
by Mr. Kennedy, and the German estab
lishment ol the Deutsche fechuellpost
ti German journal published in New York
lor the last three years, with a large stock
of books, &c., were totally consumed with
all they contained, Mr. Graham lost not
only bis stock, but SIOO in cash nod his
j gold watch, and narrowly escaped with
his life by leaping out of an elevated win
dow upon the deep snow’ beneath. Ihe
Germans, who hatl a ball in lummany
Hall, which adjoined the burned build
ings in the rear, were alarmed in the
mfdst of their revelry, when all was go
ing on ‘merry as a marriage bell, and
it is stated that the rear of old Tammany
got a severe scorching. The origin ol
the fire is attributed to the negligence of
a boy who, in kindling a fire in one of the
rooms of the Tribune establishment made
use of a newspaper toprornote the draught
which not only look fire, but took wing
to some other department, and set fire to
a inass of papers; and as the partition
walls in the interior were composed of
wood, the progress ol the flames were
rapid in the extreme. Not a brick re
mains upon another, so thoroughly did
the work of destruction go on.
Gen. Lewis Cass has been elected
Senator from Michigan, from the 401 of
March next, in place of Mr. Porter. It is
art admirable change-—substituting a
State.-’iuan for a pettifogger.
BN t FIT.
The practice ol using snuff’ha3 become
so universally prevalent that little or no
notice is now taken of the habit.
Old gentlemen take it as a stimulant, ami
you may hear their old necks pop like per
cussion caps whenever theyr inhale about
a good tea-spoon full of this odoriferous
powder.
Old women take it in the place of gin, as
a sort of creature comjort and because a
snuffbox is more easily hid and handled
than a quart bottle. Good old souls they
are up to snuff, and should have the privil
ege of sneezing all the locomotives off'the
track, if they desired it.
The young women shall we say it! cat
H•’ Yes actually eat whole pounds of the
genuine Scotch snuff’, and this we can
prove by good medical authority if obser
vation hail not already satified us of the
fact. Just to think of one of our rosy,
aromatic irresistible, seductive little crea
tures consuming a bottle of the Vagabond
once or twice a month ! Four or five dog
wood tooth brushes in constant employ*
tnent,and the cambric’kerchiefi-ugh! j
“ Oil would some power the giftie gie us,
To see oursel’s as others see us,
’Twould lrae many a blunder free u«,
Our silly notion.”
Let our fair young friends read the fol
lowing extract from a medical writer on
the subject, and eschew the noxious habit
forthwith:
“ We are all well acquainted'with the effects of
chewing and smoking tobacco, ami taking snuff in
the common wav ; hut we have something yet to I
learn and disclose, respecting the hitherto unheard j
of practice, among tlie females of our countiy, |
of regularly eating Scotch Snuff! It appears, j
from vvliat I have been informed on veritable au
thority, or I certainly would not believe it possible,
that the practice among our ladies, of eatingdaily
considerable qualities of Scotch snuff arose in the !
first insmnee from their using it ns a tooth-powder I
—yes, most courteous reader, a tooth powder! If]
this is any thing more, than a mere pretext lbr the
filthy and disgusting prat ice, which taints the breath '
with a fetor icorse than asakcetida, deranges all the
physical sensations, and the whole nervous system,
imparts to the rosy cheek of youthful beauty, the
delightsome complexion of a cake of bees wax f
subverts, ruins, and finally destroys the digestive
powers of the stomach; and, renders that stomach
a filthy reservoir of dregs and crudities, which
taints and corrupts the whole system—the eatets
of Sc.i.ell snuff’ may he induced to abandon the
destructive practice, when l point out to them a
much better tooth-powder— which is nothing more
nor less, than powdered charcoal, mixed with Pe
ruvian or dog-wood bark.
In speaking of the eviis which atise from eating
snuff. I have not enumerated the halfof them; the
fact is, that language itself would tail in classing
and giving them names. We alt know perfectly
well, that the stomach is the work-shop oftlie whole
human machine, and that when its functions are
deranged or impaired, the whole system sutlers in
its remotest extremities. Hear what the celebrat
ed Rush says, respecting the practice of eating
I snuff:— - ‘l have known two instances of death
from eating smith It is a habit which is increas
ing among the ladies of our country, with a rapidi
ty only equalled by the ravages of ardent spirits,
and which is no less ruinous to health and destruc
tive to life. The practice of eating miuO* had its
probable origin in using the Scotch snuff a* a
tooth-powder; a fomlness is soon arqtiired fir it,
and hundreds nmongnur females, get drunk upon
it every day of their lives.”
The doctor must have intended this
last charge in a pickwickian sense.
GEN. JACKSON.
We regret that the old sage of the Her
mitage is not in the prime of life and seat
ed in the Executive Chair. The present
is a great crisis, and demands the prompt
resolution ol a man that can look treachery
and toryism in the face; and degrade the
guilty authors of it before the public gaze.
Were Gen. Jackson President, lie would
now do what lie proclaimed in his manly
and patriotic letters on Texas adairs,
what he would do in that event. “He
would plant himself upon the treaty of
ISO3, lake forcible possession of Texas
and bid defiance to the world.” The peo
ple, the sovereign fpeople whose will is
now defeated!)}’ a corrupt and degenerated
Senate would sustainhim. The act would
be more generous than the victory of Or
leans. It would bring an "Empire to the
Union and a Gibraltar to the South.” It
would teach the island giant that republi
canism and not an ambitious and domi
neering monarchy should prevail on this
side the waters. The Senate are not as
now organized, either the representatives
of the State or the people. In truth, Sena
tor Berrien is not the exponent of Iris own
party. His doctrines in regard to the ta
riff were over and over again repudiated
by many prominent individuals of the
whig party during the past year. And we
are convinced that if left to a majority of
the whigs at this very moment he would
most unceremoniously be ejected from the
Senate. lie lias abandoned the South, on
every solitary question, and it is said that
had Mr. Clay been elected, he would have
left in person for a clime more congeni-1
to his habits and mode of thinking.
Tftc Senate should not lie sullered thus
tothwart the wishes of the people; if such
is to be the practical operation of that con
stituent member of the Government, the
sooner some way is devised to strike it
out from the body politic, the better.—
Here we see a great measure sanctioned
by at least two thirds of the people of the
United States, jeoparded by the cowardly
treachery and factious contumacy of two
or three traitors who would sacrifice their
country upon the altar of disappointed
ambition. VVe almosUwish that the Pre
sident would eject them from the Senate
chamber, lock the door, put the key in his
pocket, and declare the resolution as pass
ed by the House the supreme law of the
land. However highhanded the measure,
yet there are times when such interposi
tion would save the Republic. And this
is one of them.
We would call the attention of the cit
izens of Macon to the advertisement ol
Mr. Williams, who proposes to deliver an
address on the life, character, and servi
ces of Washington. It is a subject dear
to every American, and we hope to see a
crowded audience.

party in this country will not think it wise
to exclude two States, unquestionably en
titled to admission into the Union, under
circumstances which can leave no doubt
! that they are disfranchised for the present,
merely to serve their party purposes. It
! is very bad to exclude individuals from
the right of suffrage, because it may oper
ate against the supremacy of a particular
party; but, when the people of large
States are deprived of their dearest con
stitutional rights, with an eye to such ob
jects, we think it will no where find in the
public sense an affirmation of the feelings
and principles of the excommunicating

RETURN OF THE EXILES.
Lust Saturday morning, says the Si.
Albans, Vt., Republican, the quiet of our)
little village was suddenly broken in upon
by the arrival, from the south, of thirty
eight of the Canadians, exiled to Van
j Dteman’s Land for participation iu the j
troubles of 1637. it is nearly two years
since the British government pardoned
their offences, and gave them liberty to I
return to their homes. Since that time
they have been at work to earn the ne
cessary funds to enable them to reach
their own shores. They appeared heal
thy, well dressed, and in high spirits, and
spoke well of the treatment they had re
j ceived at the hands of the British author
ities. Two of them on returning to their
homes, where they had expected to meet
the smiles and joyful tears of their wives,
found that these last !»ud supplied their

THE PRESIDENT ELECT.
We find the following news, touching
the movements of Mr. Folk, in the last
Globe:
Col. Polk arrived at Wheeling, Virgin
ia, on last Sunday, at G o’clock, P. M., as
appears by the following, which We take
from the Wheeling (Va.) Argus:
Arrival of the President. — Last evening,
at G o’clock, Col. James Knox Polk, Pre
sident elect of the United States, arrived in
this city, in the steamer Mail-in OS hours
from Cincinnati.
He is accompanied by his family con
sisting of Mrs. Polk, J. Knox Walker, his
private secretary, and Master Marshall
Polk; also by Messrs. J. N. Esselmun, J.
G. Harris, and V. K. Stevenson.
Col. Polk’s reception here was most en
thusiastic, and the good order which pre
vailed was very commendable.
He retired to the rooms prepared for
him at the Virginia hotel, and will receive
visitors without respect to party between S
and 1 o’clock to-day.
At I he expects to leave for Washing
ton, Pennsylvania, in the President (stage)
and will be accompanied to the State line
by as many as can make it convenient to
do so.
P. S. lo£ o’clock at night.—We have
received a letter dated at Wheeling, Sun
day night, giving an account of Col. Polk’s
reception at Louisville and Cincinnati,
which wc would like to publish to-night;
but, as it is written closely on both sides,
we cannot do so.
Col. Polk intended to leave Wheeling
(Monday) evening, and sleep at Washing
ton, Pa., that night; dine at Brownsville,
Pa., next clay, (Tuesday;) and probably
sleep at Uniontovvn, Pa., that night, arrive
at Cumberland, Md., Wednesday night,
and in this city Thursday night, between
7 and 8 o’clock, P. M.
Anew Translation. —A rich old maiden
lady, who was notorious for her bad tem

inquired of the coachman the meaning of
these words. Coachee, proud of this ap
