Wc assure them of our con dolence, if they are uiF.icted with the prevailing influenza, (colds) or, if possible, the more distress ing torture —duns with empty pockets ! Such is our fate. Indeed, we have been in a quandary ; whether to do as the Legislature of Rhode Island did.) which adjourned because of the prevalence of coughs and colds !) or to undergo further pun ishment. However, our Devil, who is now sick, says he must get belter or well, before he can ven ture to give you more lies ! And, as every body (even the “pooh negroes”) must have a little hol iiday at Christmas, why so must the Printers ! and therefore, our regular issue will not appear until Friday evening next. Never mind, kind patrons, vve will be about you again soon, “ with news from all quarters,” and, before “ a montli of Sundays” shall have expired, we will “ren der unto Caesar things which arc Caisur's.” Cotton Market.

It will be observed that, although there arc changes, of some old tried and faithful servants, who have been with us,and for us, (we mean the cardinal interests of our State and country) through nil the perils of the past, yet there is a cheering consolation in the fact, that the names which we here give the pub lic, embody the first talents, and characters which our State caft boast —such as would rank with the “ choicest spirits,” and render the halls cf legislation, interesting, dignified, and honored. This would be the case —are we too sanguine, when wo anticipate the reality. We are sure we are not if Georgia remains faithful, as she has heretofore done, to herself; yes, we repeat, our Delegation in Congress, has long been synor.i mous with the highest encomiums—and such an one as is now suggested, would increase, than di rriinish the very high character which has been pleased . be bestowed on the members from this s ate.
