True, Du by; hut you have made me so
comfort.)b e, tfiat business had nearly given
way to pleasure. Well, you see the State
has heen running herself so much into debt
lor various improvements, that she finds it
necessary to call upon her sous and daugh
ters to Ireip her to pa v it.
Bless the oli! jade, Kurneff But how much ;
does she exp ct a poor b’y like Darby Duo

That depends, Darby, entirely upon the
amount of property you happen to be master
of.
Is Katv included, Kurnel?
Not at all Dooley; it is only the personal
property you arc master of-—that is the ques
tion.
An’ is’nt Kity personal, an’ very pretty
property too: an’ ain’t I master of her to be

How much money have you loaned on I

ty—before Recorder Baldwin. However
thoroughly custom may sanction the practice
of deriving nothing hut subjects for jest arid
merriment from a review of the miserable
groups exhibited hero, we cannot look upon
the dissolute and haggard specimens of hu- !
inanity presented without feelings of deep I
commiseration blended with disgusV-and, so j
far from seeking to blast the reputation of an i
individual by the wanton exposure of a sing’e I
indiscretion, we would willingly throw a veil
over the infirmities of tlie wretched victims ot
debauchery and crinv, and seek other means
of producing the r reformation: and this not
more on their own account than that the pub
lic view should not be outraged by an inspec
tion of every crime in its most loathsome and
detestable aspect.
Several persons were fined, held to bad,
and committed,-for various offences, before the
chief business of the morning came cn, and
which had .attracted quite an assemblage of

ten or a dozen females, charged individually
with pursuing a way of life that good women
should shun. Much ingenuity was displayed
on the part of some of these to procure a dis
charge, and in some infinites successfully.

REFORM PRINCIPLES.
The watchword of the Harriott party has
been ‘ reform,* but the world has not been
enlightened upon the manner and shape of
this reform. Mere vague and shadowy pro
mises of O'h!en times have been held out,
without trusting a bill rtf particulars to the
scrutiny of the public eve. The peop'e have
consented to yield a ‘generous confidence’
to these whig promises, and have elevated to
places of power and trust a coterie ot party
leaders, with an implied license to adopt any
measures ol administration which to them
may seem good and fitting. those who
have voted for this vox preterea nihil ‘reform
partv, entertain of course an unbounded con
fidence in the purity of the motives and pur
poses of the men to whom they have given
such carte blanche powers, i’hey have re
versed the democratic principles ol ‘ meas
ures not men,’and have made the men >
make their own measures. Tl ev are bound,
therefore, to be contented with any measures
which their fiduciary trustees may propose
and pass, whether they be conservative, fede- j
ral, whig, tariff, anti-tariff, national or pel ;
bank, abolition, or anti-masonic.
The democracy, on the contrary, who re
fused to repose this ‘ generous confidence’ an
terior to a declaration of principles, are not
so easy under this stale of uncertainty, and
are watching with anxiety the givings out of
the men and presses in the confidence ot the
new rulers, for indications of those principles
upon which the future destinies of this greal
£<jynt vare to adminijtiered.
Upon ftiC currency question a signal has
been recently hoisted, to which we iuvite in
tent.on. \\e copy from the N. York Courier
and F.tiqmrer, tne lead i)g Harrison paper of
! New York:
Pennsylvania.— If the pres of the State
of Pennsylvania w j rue to Iter ititeresls, tt.ey
will call upon their banks not to resume sje
cie payments, as it is termed, unless they let 1
it jK.rtec.ly convenient to do so. The Legis
lature wi i also, if wise, repeal its compulsory
enactments on this point, and the people
should not merely sanction but loudly call for
such a course—nay, the Legislature should go
still farther. It should authorise banks to issue
notes under the denomination ot five dollars.
“ Can any one point to single disadvantage
under which Pennsylvania labors from the
present state of her monetary system, unless it
he iHe want of a small note currency ? If
they can, we should he happy to hear them.
Mere empty talk, however, about honor and
credit, without showing bow either are affect
ed, will not satisfy us, nor ought it to satislv
anv one.”
This is the flag of irredemption boldly run
up, and may be taken, in the absence of reve
lations, which have not been made, as one of
the ‘ reform’ colors under which the new go
vernment is to sail. This supposition is
strengthened by one of Gen. Harrison’s
memorable speeches, in which he said, “ Ale
ihmks I hear a small voice asking, are you in
favor of paper money? I answer, f am.”
Is it not a strange anomaly, in a land of ex
tended suffrage, that men should he raised to
the highest administrative offices and those
who put them there are obliged to speculate
upon the course of policy which they will
pursue? There is not one in a hundred
thousand of the people who cast their votes
for Old Tip, who can even conjecture what
shoot he will lake. A 1 political epidemic’ has
indeed seized upon the country, operating as
la burlesque on the right of suffrage, and
bringing our republican institutions into dis- :
repute. We think the poison vviil woik its !
own cure. In the meantime we shall have to j
watch the straws to see how the reform !
winds do blow.
THE COTTON CROP.
Some time since we remarked and endea
vored to account for the very large arrivals of
cotton in the market—notwithstanding the
universal belief that much of the crop had
been Ins', and that it. would turn out in the
end one third short of the last year’s product.
We again notice the same subject.
Up to the latest dates the total arrivals of
cotton in all the Southern seaports amounted
to - - 290,883 hales
Total stock Oct. 1, - 37,933
Total supply this season 328,810
To the same dates last year the total re
ceipts in the same ports were 306,275 bales
Total stock Oct. Ist, 1939, 27,313
Total supply 333,588
The excess last year in tire supply of cot
ton up to the same dates, over the present,
was less than 5000 bales, a fact that is quite
sufficient to account for the present prices of
cotton, while it seems entirely at war with the
supposition of a great deficiency of tho crop.
The exports to foreign parts is another inter
esting item in calculating the influences that
govern the value of cotton. Up to the latest
dates these have been this year 133,000 baies.
At the same dates last year they were 142,028.
The entire deficiency is small, and not enough
to affect the market; and besides, the exports
to Liverpool, the controlling market, have been
very much larger this season than the last.
it is quite manifest that while the supply
and the exports continue so large, whatever j
may he the pinion as to the ultimate result
of the crop, no sensible improvement can take
place. Our opinions of the deficiency remain
unchanged.- What we stated before begins
now to gather confirmation. For two months
after the commencement of the season, the
supply was greater than iast year. That ex
cess gradually and regularly declined, until
now, when we find less than last year. This
failing off is more remarkable in New Orleans
and Georgia than elsewhere. But last year
arrivals of cotton in Mobile caarccly com
menced till the Ist of December, between the
[dread of fever and the ‘.innavigable state of
the rivers. To some extent the same causes
operated against Charleston; and accordingly
at these two points the excess this year lias
been greatest, and they are the only impor
tant. points where it now exists at ail. The
stocks of cotton are less, too, in the interior
towns than last year. But we would point to
one important consideration that ought to
have much weight- The receipts of cotton
in the ports of this Sta'e to the 11th instant
i have been this year about 1200 bales greater
! ban last; and yet the Agricultural Conven
tion at Columbia, composed of planters from
.every part of the State, published it as the r
deliberate opinio ; that the crop will fall short
of the 1; s( by at least 100,009 ba e-.
We cannot doubt the caution with which
j th's opiuion was formed, or the good faith in
i veil ch ii w; s made public, and we feel bound
[to suppose that it is nearly right. Now we
recent that evidence of the same kind exists
to prove the deficiency of the crop generally
tlir ugiioLt tlie South. The statements of the
early part of the season are reiterated with
additional firmness in Georgia, Alabama ard
Mississ'ppi. Il is entirely unfair, therefore,
to compare the.-e statements with the “break
ings” ot 1889, which were not heard after the
Ist of October. The planters every where
ackiK w’edged, as scon as the crop was gath
ered, that i; was a great one; and it was per
il ctiy true that ihe early part of ihe season
h and been bad,, and that the crop was saved by
six weeks of tevitiful weather in autumn.—
The present year should rather be compared
with 1838, when it was persever ngly main
tained ly the planters in December, and as
i bstinately denied . v the merchants, that the
product was short. Which was right in the
end I We deny that an instance can be
brought forward when the planters have been |
grossly wrong in the estimate of a crop after j
it has been gathered. Thus much we have
thought best to say in answer to those who
have called in question our former views; and
we confidt n’ ly predic t that, cn the Ist of March
i next, the receipts of cotton in the Southern
\ ports will be 200,000 bales less than at the
; same time last season. —Charleston Murcurij.
FROM CHINA.
The ship Niantic, at New York, left Ma- j
cao on the sth July, being one day later titan |
previous advices.
The American ships Adelaide, Cpt. Stubbs, j
land Washington, Capt. Benson, had been de- i
i tained at Bocca Tigris by the blockading !
squadron. Applications for their release be
: mg made by their agents to Capt. Smith, then J
I .it Macao, he replied that orders should be |
’ immediately given for them to proceed, in;
; charge of an officer, to Capsiiig-sing-inoou
anchorage, where their ships would be prop
; erlv investigated. As these ships were laden ]
(trier to the 29. h, and as they w?re furnished j
! with proof thereof under the consular sea’, it j
I is presumed that they will be released,
j The resident of Anjier reported to Capt.
i Doty, of the Niantic, that accounts had been
‘received at Batavii from Singapore to the
’ middle of August, bringing news of the fail
! ure of negotiations by Admiral Ellio‘, com
| mander of the British fleet, and that hostilities
| had commenced on the coast of Inna between
[the British forces and the Chinese.
We have seen a private letter from Macao,
of sth Julv, which states that the British had
captured several China junks, and that tli#
Admiral and several of tin? fleet had proceed
ed towards Pekin. It was generally believed
that they would establish themselves on the
island of Chusan. All was peaceable and
quiet at ?I ‘.cao.

A;> Epidemic. — The recent suicides which
have occur; el in the different cities have stir
red up tic. quid mines of the press, and they
are trying io prove that an epidemic is at tins
moment raging i. rotigliouf the country. A
man is a 100 l who will cut the throat ol anoth
er. hut a greater 100 l s he who draws a ra
zor across h s own ‘moat. Tne only plan
that e know of (and we candidly confess we
have not studied ihe subject thoroughly) to
put an end to tins “epidemic,” is to turn it
into ndicuie. if am in take it into his Itead
to walk out of this breathing world, why—
let him go; there are plenty to fill his place,
and, may be. some who will bid him God
speed. l'he best caricature of a suicide we
ever beheldNvas ifiatof a Frenchman, who had
determined to Wow ..ut his brains, He did it
“with neat in m and despatch’—by placing a
mirror before him, and taking deliberate aim
at the image ol himself, he drew the trigger
and blew ms representative and the glass io
atoms! However, they say there is no rea
son in suicides—we should presume so, fora
a moment’s reflection would convince a man
that sdf-immoluion would not better his con
lition.as lie goes out of the wot Id sinning, and
consequently,is hurried into a place where there
is no rest lor the wicked. 11 life be not worth
keeping, it is not worth taking, and he who
robs himself of that which is not worth hav
ing is about the meanest kind of thief that
ever suffered the penally of the laws. Some
poet, we don’t know who, thus rales the sui
cide:
When all ihe blandishments of life are gone,
The coward sneaks to death—die brave live on.
Baltimore Clipper.
Something of a controversy has been car
ried on lately in the Boston Courier concern
ing the duties of women, and the relative in
tellectual capacities ot the two sexes, arising
out of a lecture by Mr. D.ina, in wh eh that
distinguished scholar appears to have conten
ded that Ihe sex are not flitted for the higher
pursuits of science. One of the chivalrous
coi: batants makes the billowing statements:
One of the finest mathematicians in the
country, now living, is a young lady. One
of (he best linguists in the country, expert in
(he classics, and as eminent lor her metaphy
sical, and likewise her mathematical skill, is
a lady. We might refer to these women bv
name; but we would not offend a delicacy
and simplicity of character, as remarkable
and eminent in them as their intellectual
powers and litetary acquisitions. As close a
reasoner as we have ever qiet vviih, is a lady
now living.

1 1 importance of properly preparing the Staple
JL of any eo.io.ry or section is well known, but to
no country or seeiiou is it of such importance as those
tnat grow and oro iucc the Colton a> their only staple. !
Therefore, under ibis und other i onsnleratio is, I pro
pose to putiiish by subscription my system aud practice
m Cotton Cm making and Ginning.

ti n u uiui rioos .-j ear, position of the Gin, &c. ■ al-
cuiaiions of gear in speeding the gin, with particular
description, explanation and directions to the Cotton
Planters in constructing the gin-house and gear, and
: general management of the gin, cotton, &e.
With the rules and explanations given in the pro
posed Work, any 7 good workman may execute ihe
: whole plan well, and tiie Planter be enabled to judge
for hiaiseifia constructing his House, Gear, &c., and
in selecting a Gin that is rightly made in every respect,
and of gocid materials; therefore being a great saving
or gain to him, first, in cleaning nis crop in half ihe
time usually required; aud in picking and nioteing his
cotton well, so as to command the highest price in
■ market; in the durability of his Gin, which, if made
Iby the directions given, will last to pck a thousand
bags of cotton, (this would require three or four com
mon made Gins todo the -aine.) And further, there
‘is no risk cr danger of burning tlie House, Cotton, &c,
by taking fire from the Gin on the new friction wheel
plan, though you were to give it double the motion
Gins running on boxing would bear. Nothing will be
set down in the proposed Work but positive facts, be
ing the result (all prejudices aside) of fair aud repeat
eu experiments, (a safe guide to mechanical know
ledge and skill.)
If I were going to continue the Cotton Gin making
business in tilts country, T should not trouble the, pub
lic with this Prospectus for 1 would much rather
work for money than write for it as in the first case,
I would no it strict justice,—in the latter, I must ask
allowance for its defects, and liberal patronage for its
support.

jo. pictorial works, illustrative el the scenery >t
countries, lias long be. n a popu u one m Europe am:
is rapidly gaming t'avor in our own ecatdry.
The prospectus to issue such a i.. devoted ti
the scenery of Gecrg;a, although i.ov. ‘W:. n.'.nil.i
edlv find universal tavor, and be regarded as it by
tin editor, a plan at once felicitous and feasible -
l'uere is much scenery in our State, that is not i
passed iti beauty and sublimity, by il.at of any mi..
State in the Union. The epper counties abet-.... ...
seenes, which need only to be know n to command ibn
adin ration of all who love llte beauties of naioie.
Alueli of the scenery of the norih is inferior io i.i.r
own, but is yet visited by thousands simply because it
nas been written, sung and “lionized” by autho.s and
travellers, until its beauty has become universn y
‘known and appreciated. It is desirable that attm k.ii
should be directed to out own resources of the pic
turesque in natural scenery, and when this is done,< fl
own and northern tourists will speedily render our
beautiful views as immortal as our language.
Tiie south is charged with general indifference to
the progress of Literature and the Fine Arts; a it
probably the strongest foundation for the charct is
found in her inaction in enterprises calculated to &sw r
these objects. The publication of the proposed work
w ill, it is believed, be un effective blow at tins founda
tion, and a-step towards the establishment of our lit
erary reputation, to which end much houhrablc client
is now directed;
A third consideration, and the last which will now
be urged, is the intrinsic value of such a publication as
“GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED.” It will embody
the representations of the beautiful and sublime in
our State scenery, amt a fiord to all, at a trifling ex
pense, exact pictures ol our mountains, vallics, catar
acts, public buildings, &c., which they may or may
not otherwise behold, but which, in either case, would
afford peculiar pleasure.
The proposed work will be executed in a style su
perior to any similar pictural work in the country.
‘The plates will be executed on steel, by eminent en
gravers, from original drawings, made expressly for
the purpose, by Mr. T. Addison Richards, of Augus
ta. The engravings will be accompanied with letter
press descriptions, prepared for the work, and m this
deptirtninnl the editor will secure, as far as possible,
the assistance and co-operation of our best writers. In
short, no pains will be spared to make the work a per
fect gem of its kind, to the end that it may meet a
welcome reception not only at home but also abroad..
Conditions —“GEORGIA ILLUSTRATED”
will be issued in monthly parts, in the quarto form, at
$5 per annum in advance, or at 50 cents for each
’ part, payable on del ir try .
Each pai t will contain two highly finished engravings
of Georgia Scenery, accompanied with letter-press
descriptions and historical facts, printed on large and
beautiful type on the finest paper, the whole enveloped
in a neatly printed cover.

dress for §SO, or twenty-five copies for §IOO, in either

TO THE SOUTH.
FH. PETTIS, Counseller at Lew, from O
• range County, Virginia, having been located
in die City of New York, for the last eight years, re
spectfully tenders his grateful acknowledgr tents to his
friend„s in the South, for their confidence and patronage
in various matters of business, artd solicits their conti
nuance. He has bad much experience, both in this
State and that of Pennsylvania, in causing fugitive
Slaves to be secured; and will continue to effect such
‘objects, if possible, whenever called upon. His plans
are so well matured, by having, at fiis command, the
most < (ficient aid, located at different points, and suc
cessfully harmonizing, that he carfnot but flatter him
self thal. he will have mole complete success, if possi
ble, in future, than heretofore. In defiance of ihe Ab
olitionists, lie can cause to be secured any fugitive
slave, who shall be north of ATason and Dixon’s line.
There neither is, nor can there be, any law of ibis
or any other State, which can militate against the Fe
deral Constitution, which authorises the master, or his
regularly constituted Agent to arrest his fugitive slave,
take him before a Judge or Magistrate, prove property,
and take him away. To the end therefore, it will he
necessary for those who may wish the services of Mr.
P., to forward him a Power of Attorney, duly execut
ed, and minutely descriptive of the fugitive, and also a
fee of twenty dollars to defray preliminary and contin
gent exytenses. When the slave shall have been se
cured and handed over to the master, one hundred dol
lars additional charge will be mads.
Mr. Pettis will promptly and faithfully attend to any
and all business confided to him, touching his profes
sion. All letters.on business, must be post paid, to
his address. No. 3 Wall street.-
N. B.—The Southern papers generally would sub
serve the interest of slave-holders by noticing the a-’
