Escape of Mrs. Kossuth.—An Authentic Narrative.
During the month of August, 1848, the Presi
dent Governor of Hungary, Louis Kossuth,
with the principal officers of his provisional gov
ernment, were in the fortified town of Arad, on
the river Maroseh. Between that place and the
town ot Zegadin, on the Tisch, in the vicinity of
Arad, Georgey. with the Hungarian troops under
his command, lay encamped: while behind him,
towards the Tisch, was the Russian army of re
serve, under Paskiewitch. Dembinski, with his
men, besieged Temcswar, and he had already
carried its third wall. Between him and the
Tisch lay the united Austro Russian forces. The
army of Bern had been defeated at Hermanstadt
by the Russian General, Luders, and he had fled
with a small band of faithful followers towards
Temeswar.
With this position of the combatants, the plan
of Dembinski was to unite with Georgey, near
Arad, and then to attack the Russian forces. Be
fore this was effected, news reached him of the
capitulation of Georgey, and that the Governor,
M. Kossuth, had been compelled to forsake Arad,
and retire to the town of Vilagos. Before leaving
Arad, the Governor separated from his wife and
children, and their parting scene is said to have
been one of the most touching nature. Under
the circumstances of the moment, it was a sub
ject of more even than doubt whether they would
ever again meet on earth. It was only when a
young Hungarian nobleman, named Ashbot,now
in exile in Kutayieh with M. Kossuth, solemnly
swore to his wife that he would never leave her
husband, that Madame Kossuth consented to be
separated from him, and seek safety in flight.
The children were confided to the care of a pri
vate secretary ol the Governor, and this indivi
dual subsequently delivered them up to the ten
der mercies of Haynau, for the purpose of secur
ing his own pardon and safety. The children
set out before their mother, and the latter, in her
flight, endeavoured to keep at least so near to
them as to hear now and then of their safety.
Madame Kossuth sought out a brother others,
residing in the town of Vilages, and he is now
imprisoned in the fortress of Comorn, with many
others of the unfortunate Hungarian patriots, for
eighteen years, on account of the succour which
he then gave to his sister. Leaving him, she
next went in search of her children, and wan
dered to a petta or farm-house, of Boeksak, be
longing to a relative. There she tell ill of a ty
r*7 — •'v which nearlv ended her liC»-. , and
when so fur recovered as n, w able again to
travel, she continued her journey in search of her
children. She soon learned that they had been
given up by their protector to the AustrianUencr
al, Haynau, and taken to Pesth. Her own safety
depended wholly upon the fidelity of the Hun
garian peasants, and on their attachment to her
husband.
Now, having noother object in view than her
own safety, without friends better off than her
self, she soon became reduced to a state of com
plete destitution. In disguise, she wandered over
the moat miserable part of Hungary. She even,
as a means of safety, as well as support, sought
for service as a servant, and by telling that she
was a poor woman, who had just been discharg
ed from a public hospital—which, indeed, she
very much resembled—was so fortuate as to find
employment in the family of an humble carpen
ter, in the town of ('rash Hay a, who little
thought he was served by the lady of Louis Kos
suth, the late Governor of Hungary. Every
where notices were exposed ifl the streets, of
fering forty thousand florins for her capture, and
proclaiming death as the punishment of the per
son who should dare to harbour or conceal her
from the authorities.
Among the persons who fled with M. Kos
suth before the overwhelming number of his
enemies, was an elderly lady, whom it is neces
sary to designate as Madame L .and who,
from being' unable to ride as fast and as long as
those who were stronger and younger than Tier
self, soon became exhausted, and was left hehind.
She had a son, a Major in the Hungarian army,
near the person of the Governor, and both the
son and mother were warmly attached to his
interests. Madame L , when unable to pro
ceed longer with the fugitives, in order to reach
a place of safety in the dominions of the Sultan
of Turkey, determined to remain in Hungary,
and devote herself to the finding of Madame Kos
suth, and restoring her to her husband.
For this benevolent purpose, Madame L
disguised herself as a beggar; and after a long and
weary journey, oftener on foot than in any con
veyance, she crossed the vast sandy plains of
Southern Hungary, and at length reached the
place in which Kossuth's children were, but
could hear nothing of their mother.
She learned that the children had been sent, i
soon alter their mother had lost sight of them, to
the house of General G , now in the service ]
of the Sultan in Syria, to be kept with his own
three children, hoping that they would thus be
screened from those who sought after them. The
eldest, named Louis, after his father, was seven 1
years of age; and all were told that if they ac- 1
knowledged they were the children of the Gov- ‘
ernor, they would be imprisoned by the Austrians. \
and never see their parents again. So that when
an Austrian officer traced them to the house of
General G , he was at a loss to know which
of the children were thos£ of General G , and 1
which those of M. Kossuth; and, approaching |
the eldest of the latter, he said:—“ro, my little 1
man, you are the son of the Governor? -1
To which the youth replied, “I am not, sir!” 1
His firmness surprised and vexed the officer,
who was certain from the statement of their be- t
trayer, that these before him where the long. s
lost treasure of his ambitious search. He now l
endeavored to frighten the children, and, draw- i
ing a pistol, directed it to the breast of the t
boy, and said that if he did not at once acknowl- *
edge that he was the son of Kossuth, he would r
put a ball through his heart. Young Louis—
who, it is said, shows himself, now in exile at 'J
Kutayieh, much ot the character of his father— •
replied in a tone equally firm„
" * ten you, sir, lam not the son of Kossuth." j
The officer baffled by the child’s simplicity of d
manner and apparent sincerity, was divested of u
his convictions, and led to believe that he had t(
been imposed upon. n
But before Madame L could get near '«
thena, other agents of the Austrian Government £
had been more successful, and the three children L
had been carried off in secret to Pesth near the os
clutches of the butcher Haynau. The mother
and sister ofM. Kossuth had also been captured
gnd placed in strict confinement. It may be (o
here mentioned, in this little narrative of the I
sufferings and deliverance of the relatives of
Louis Kossuth, that Madame L , on find
ing where and how her children were situated,
found out her own maid-servant, and so succeed
ed as to have her engaged at Pesth as their
nurse. This person never left them until the
moment of their final deliverance from their
Austrian jailers was arrived. After thus having
provided for the welfare of the children of M.
Kossuth, Madame L renewed her search
for their destitute, suffering mother.
Finding no trace of her, Madame L de
termined to follow the fugitives, and if she reach
ed Widdin, to ascertain from M. Kossuth, him
self, where his poor wife had gone, and then re
turn in search of her. Continuing in the dis
guise of a beggar, sometime on foot, at others in a
formers cart, this heroic woman reached the
frontier of Hungary, and, crossing them, enter
ed the foitified and walled town of Widdin,
where the late Governor of Hungary and his
brave unfortunate companions were, enjoying
the protection and hospitality of the Sultan of
Turkey. Madame L- applied to M. Kos
suth, but not being known to him personally,
and the Austrian General having set so high a
price on the capture of his wife, he at first re
garded her in the light of an Austrian spy.—
Having, however, soon found her son, who had
followed the Governor into Turkey, he readily
convinced M. Kossuth of the identity of his mo
ther. All the information which M. Kossuth
could give her w r as, that there was a lady in
Hungary in whose house he believed his wife
would seek a refuge; and if she was not still
there, this lady would most probably know
where she was.
The Governor now furnished Madame L
with a letter to this lady, and another with his
own signet-ring for his wife, which would be
evidence of her fidelity. It is not here neces
sary to follow Madame L on her toil
some journey. Devoted to the philanthropic
work which she had undertaken, she wandered
over the sandy steppes of Hungary, until she suc
ceeded in reaching the little town in which the
lady resided, and delivered to her M. Kossuth’s
letter. This she read, and immediately burned
it, not daring even to allow it to exist in her pos
session. This lady informed Ladamc L
that the wife of Governor Kossuth had left her
residence in the guise of a mendicant, and in
tended assuming the name of Maria F n;
that she was to feign herself to be the widow of
a soldier who had fallen in battle, and that if pos
sible, she would go to the very centre of llun
guary, in those vast pasture lands, where she
hoped no one would seek after her.
With this information, Madame L a
gain resumed her journey. She feigned to be an
aged grandmother, whose grandson was missing,
and that she was in search of him. She made
many narrow escapes while passing guards, sol
diers, and spies: at length she reached the plains
before mentioned. She went from house to
house, as if in search of her grandson, but in re
ality to fine one who would answer the descrip
tion given of her poor Maria F n. At
length, in a cabin, she heard that name men
tioned, and on inquiry who and what that per
son was, learned that she was the widow of a
Hungarian soldier who had fallen in battle, and
that she had a child, who was with its grand
parents. They then described her person, hut
added that she had suffered so much from ill
ness and grief, that she was greatly changed.—
“ Before she came here," said the speaker, ‘'she
worked for her bread, even when ill; but after
her arrival, she become too much indisposed to la
bor. on account of which they sent to the Sis
ters of Charity for a physician, who came, bled
and blistered her; when she was able to go, she
had been conveyed to the institution of the Sis
ters, where she then was.” Madame I. ,
feeling that the poor sufferer must be none other
than the object of her search, expressed a desire
♦o visit her.
At the Sisters of Charity, Madame L had
much difficulty in procuring access to .Maria, and
tk* l«evv. lO IEITITHIg ttri.
At length Madame L told the Sisters to in
form her that she had a message for her from her
husband, who was not dead, as she had supposed,
and that she would soon convince her, if she
would permit her to enter. Poor Maria, be
tween fear and hope, gave her consent, and Mad
ame L was allowed to see her. Madame
L handed her the letter of Governor Kos
suth. She recogntsed, at once, the writing;
kissed it; pressed it to her heart; devoured its
contents, and then destroyed it immediately.—
Soon a story was mads up between the two fe
males ; they told the Sisters of Charity that Ma
ria’s husband ‘‘still lived," and that she would
rejoin him. A little wagon was procured; as
many comforts were put in it as could be had
without suspicion : and these two interesting
women set out on their escape from the enemies
of their country.*
Madame L had a relative in Hungary
who had not been compromised in the war; so
this person arranged to meet the ladies at a given
place, and in the character of a merchant, travel
with them. After they had left the pasture
grounds, he passed as the husband of “ Maria,"
and the elder female as his aunt. At night tney
stopped at a village, and were suspected, on ac
count of the females occupying the bed, while
he slept at the door. They started early in the
morning, and the “ husband” remained behind
to learn something more of the suspicions to
which their conduct had given rise. He again
overtook them, as they stopped to feed their
horse, and hade them to be greatly on their guard.
In the evening, while the two ladies were sit
ting together in a miserably cold room, the face
of poor Maria so muffled up as to conceal her fea
tures, and induce the belief that she was suffer
ing from her teeth, both appearing much as per
sons in great poverty, overcome by her afflictions,
Maria had a nervous attack, and talked and
laughed so loud, that her voice was recognized by
an Austrian officer who happened to be in the
house. This person sent a servant to ask them
to come into his room, where there was fire.—
Madame L inquired the name of the "‘good
gentleman" who had the kindness to invite them
to his room, and when she heard it, Maria recog
nized in him a deadly enemy of her husband.
While they were planning a means of evading
him, the officer himself came into their apart
ment. Immediately arisiug, they made an hum
ble courtesy, in so awkward a manner as to di
vest him of all suspicion. Madame L spoke,
and thanked him again and again for his kind
ness, but added that such poor creatures as they,
were not fit to go into his room. So soon as the
officer retired, Maria had another attack, which
would certainly have betrayed them, had he
been present. Madame L implored her to
be composed, or they would he lost.
Starting again, they were not molested until
in the evening, when they were apprehended 1
and conducted by two policemen before a j»agis
trate. There the former spoke of them as sus- <
picious characters; but they were not told of <
what they were suspcected. While the exami- I
(
*lt is not known by what route the ladies reach- 1
cd the capital ol' Hungary; but it is certain that, l
supposing their presence would not bo suspected at |
Pesth. they heroically procecdod to that city, then
in possession of General Haynau. It has since then
become a source of pride to both of them, that thev,
safe in their disguise, passed that celebrated milit’a- 8
ry “ butcher "in the streets of Pesth. Among the
letters with which this lady was charged by the ex- e
iles of Widden, was ono for the lamented martyr of v
Hungary, Count Casimir Bathiany, then confined 1
in a prison of the city, waiting the cruel fate to r
which the “butcher subjected him. When it was n
decided that he should be ignominiously put to
death by the hangman's rope, that excellent and
mild Hungarian patriot endeavored to put an *nd c
to his own existence with a razor: but, unfortu- c
aately, not sucoeeding. Haynau dragged his muti- a
ated and bleeding body from the prison .and ended
ris life on the gallows. Tho letter which Madame
j had for him was from his brother, who had fl
iscaped into Turkey with M. Kossuth; and she had
he satisfaction of causing it, through tho venality
f his jailors, to be placed in the hands of tho suf- tl
srer, to whom it was no littlo source of consolation h
o know that hi* brothor lived in safety. u
nation was going on, Madame L slipped a I
bank-note into the hand of the superior of the
two policemen. This bribe quite changed the
affair; two men became their friends, excited
the pity of the magistrate in their favor, and
they were allowed to depart. Thus they went
on from station to station, until they reached
the frontiers of Hungary, near the Danube.
They entered the little town of Saubin and ask
ed permission of the head of the police to pass
over the river to Belgrade. This was refused, 1
until they said they wished to go there for a cer
tain medicine for a daughter who was ill, and
that they would leave their passports as a securi
ty. He then gave his consent, and they crossed
the Danube, and entered the dominions of the
Sultan of Turkey.
It was night when they entered Belgrade.
They knocked at the door of the Sardinian
Consul, who had recently been stationed in that
forntier town by his king, whose whole heart
sympathized in the Hungrian cause, and who
had formed a friendly alliance with M. Kossuth
for the freedom of Italy and Hungary. The
Consul had been advised by M. Kossuth that
two femailes would probably seek his protection,
but not knowing them, he inquired what they
wished of him? Madame L-—replied, “Lodg
ing and bread.” He invited them in, and
Madame L introduced him to Madame Kos
suth, the lady of the late Governor of Hungary.
It will readily be conceived that the Consul
could scarcely believe that these two miserable
beings were the persons they represented them
selves to be. Madame Kossuth convinced him
by showing him the sinet-ring of her husband.
In his house Madame Kossuth fell ill, but re
ceived every possible kindness from her host.
They learned that all the Hungarians and Poles
had been removed from Widdin to Shumla; and,
notwithstanding that it was in the midst of a
severe winter, they decided upon proceeding at
once to the latter place. The Sardinian Consul
appled to the generous and very liberal Prince
of Servia, in whose principality Belgrade is, for
his assistance in behalf of the ladies, and in the
most hospitable and fearless manner he provid
ed them with his own carriage and four horses,
and an escort; and in this way they started
through the snow for Shumla. Their journey
was without any apprehension of danger, for
the British Consul-General at Belgrade, Mr
F , had provided the party with a passport
as British subjects, under the assumed names of
Mr., Mrs. and Miss Bloomfield; yet the severity
of the weather was such that Madame Kossuth,
in the ill state of her health, suffered very much.
Often the snow was as deep as the breasts of the
horses, and not unfrequently four oxen had to
be attached to the carriage in their places. A
journey, which in summer would have required
but a few days, now was made in twenty-eight.
On the twenty-eighth day a courier was sent
in advance of them to apprise Governor Kos
suth of their approach. He was ill; and, more
over, on account of the many plans of the Aus
trians to assassinate him, the Sultan's authorities
could not allow him to leave Shumla, and go to
meet his wife. The news of her deliverance,
and her approach, occasioned the liveliest satis
faction to all the refugees; and the Hungarians
and Poles went as far as the gates of the city to
meet this heroic martyr of the cause of Hunga
ry. It was night when the carriage neered the
city; as it entered the gates, she found the streets
lighihed up with hundreds of lights,green, white,
and red. the colours of the Hungarian flag, ami
was welcomed with the most friendly shouts
from the whole lardy of the refugees.
When Madame Kossuth descended from her
carriage, she found herself in the presence of her
husband, who had risen from his bed of illness to
receive the poor‘Maria F ”of the plains of
Hungary. In place of receiving her in ins arms,
M. Kossuth, overcome by feelings of admiration
for the sufferings which his wife had undergone,
and by gratitude for her devotion to the cause of
her country, threw himself at her feet and kissed
them. She endeavoured to speak and offer her
husband consolation and tranquility, while her
own jioor iPi'uir itemv w«-fu*iiuy tu uursi Willi
emotion Her voice failed her, and. amid the
reiterated shouts of the Hungarians and Poles,
this heroic woman was carried to her husband's
apartments.
* * * * * # #
In March of the past year, some seventy per
sons—the chief of the Hungarian refugees, among
whojn were also several Poles—were conveyed
in one of the steamers of the Sultan of Turkey
to the place designated for their future residence
in Asia Minor. From Shumla they travelled by
land to Varna, on the Black Sea; from thence
they were taken in the steamer to Ghemilk. in
the Gulf of Madanich, in the sea of Marmora,
without being allowed to stop at Constantinople.
They crossed from that place to Broosa, at the
foot ol Mount Olympus; and, after a short delay
there, agitated by hopes and fears, they contin
ued on to Kutayich, where they all still are.
Madame Kossuth is with her husband, and, great
ly through the labours of Madame L , who
undertook another journey into Hungary for this
purpose, she now also has her children with her.
Among the individuals who persist in remaining
at Kutayieh with the ex-Governor of Hungary
and his jady, are Madame L , and the rela
tive who, during the dangerous wanderings in
Hungary, figured as her husband. Many ofthe
refugees are but ill provided for. The amount
which the Turkish Government allows M. Kos
suth tor his subsistence is insufficient for the
support of so manyjpersons. It is a well-known
fact that the duration ofthe detention of M.
Kossuth depends wholly upon the Sultan, whose I
protection was so generously and so effectively
granted to the refugees. It'is also known that ,
the Sultan has refused to detain him for a longer
period than one year, and that this period ends
within the month of May of the present year.
To detain him beyond that period will be to as
sume a responsibility in the eyes ofthe world
which will weigh heavily upon the character of j
the Sultan, who has, thus far, possesssd the sym- I
pathy and the admiration of all well-thinking !
men on both sides of the Atlantic. We would in- ■
voke that generous prince to carry out what he i
has so successfully begun; and to permit Kossuth ;
and his unfortunate companions to seek a home
in the distant New World, where they cannot. '
even should they desire it, which we disbelieve. i
disturb the tranquility of Austria, and where
assassins can never molest them. In the Uni- !
ted States they will all find a hearty welcome; !
and in the paths of privite life each will find j
that sympathy and assistance to which their
patriotism and their sufferings so strongly entitle ’
them.
Failures— Monty Market. The Failures in !
Boston, according to the Courier, were those of :
Messrs. Henry Petts it Co., Chas. Scudder & 1
Co., and Mathew Bolles, broker. The Courier ! '
says: . j ]
The money panic has begun to subside. Ac- ] 1
rommodations for short periods were more easily 1
obtained yesterday than for some days past. *
On Monday over a million of dollars will be paid 1
rut for dividends and interest. The stock mar- J '
ret still continues to be depressed, but will react I
apidly the moment there is a decided change !
or the better in the finances. i I

® Shocking Murder of a Boy.—We perceive
in the Richmond Dispatch of Monday last, a long
2 account of the murder on the previous day of
g Richard A. Thomas, an apprentice in the office
8 ofthatpaper, aged about seventeen, by Wm. Cad
-4 lipp, aged about fifteen, under circumstances of
which the following is a brief outline. It appears
that on Saturday night at the Theatre, Cadlipp
„ dropped from the second tier an egg upon
Thomas who sat in the Pit. The next morning
they met,when an altercation occurred relative t«
- this offience. No blows, however, were exchang
xi ed, but Cudlipp ran to his house in the vicinity,
JJJ from which he shortly returned with his mother
in and a little sister, the former of whom, who was
JJ considerably excited, addressed herself to Thomas
in on the subject ofthe difficulty with her son.
J! The son took no part in the altercation, but sud
jj 1 denly broke it off by plunging a dagger into the
k> breast of Thomas. The weapon struck just be-
JJJ low the breast bone, and penetrated several
I inches, causing the unfortunate youth's death in
4 a few minutes. The verdict of the Coroner's in
it) quest was that the deceased had met his death
10 from a wound inflicted by Cudlipp with some
w sharp instrument.
hi At the hour of the Richmond (lapel's going to
JJJ press on Sunday night, Cudlipp had not been „r
-lo rested. He had. it is stated, stolen a horse and
JJ fled to the country.
k> The Dispatch in commenting upon the above
hi painful case, very properly observes, that thiS
JJJ murder should be another lesson to parents on
io the subject of allowing children to carry weapons,

0 _ New York Dry Goods Market.
The New Tort Dry Goods Reporter of Satur-
JJ day says:
o We have no change to notice in this market.
<> The demand continues limited to descriptions
” «nd qualities needed (or immediate sales to cour.-
o try dealers, and beyond that there is no disposi
o tion to purehase.
o We have frequently alluded to the necessity of
« some change in the manner of conducting the
n sale of Domestic Manufactures, and the events
n of the past two seasons have convinced us, that
to succeed, it is imperatively necessary to adopt a
portion of the system of older countries, and grad
- uate the supply by the demand; thus, instead of
i relying upon the future for the sale of any certain
I description of fabric, let the maker produce his
samples, with the price at which he is willing to
contract to deliver, and graduate the operation of
i his mill to conform to the orders in hand. This
f system, if adopted, would save the enormous sac
ri/ices made upon all goods at the close of the sea
son, and inspire the Jobber with confidence in
the future stability of the market.
Again, it is necessary that the products of the
loom should be diversified ; that something be
. side plain Flannels, Broadcleths, and Brown Cot
tons should be made.
We all wonder at the success of Samuel Law
rence, Esq. but a slight glance at his course will
satisfy even the most doubtful, that his success is
owing to his faculty of adapting his products to
the wants of consumers. Do broadcloths ‘ : hang
fire,” he makes no more, he tries casimeres';
when the market is satiated with them, he turns
his attention to Beavers and Satinets, and when
these fail, he is ready with his Shawls, which ;
require not only all the available force in his old 1
mill, but oblige him to set in motion new ma
chinery to supply the want he has created.
N. Y. Foreign Dry Goods Market. —This mar- J
ket presents no encouraging features. The small
demand which we noticed in our last issue has '
been still further reduced by the late sudden and t
ridiculous disturbance in the currency, and a com- t
parative quiet broods over the regular business of <
the Importer. c
We are pleased to state that a large majority
of dealers have for some time anticipated the
present “ pinch” in the money market, and are, '
therefore, prepared for almost any emergency. c

and wish to change the location to some point i
nearer the Mississippi, where a more eligible lo- -
cation could be procured at a small expense.— "i

A Remarkable Meeting.— At the residence
ot John Bacon. Esq., in Boston, there was a
gathering a few days ago, of an unbroken band
of ten sisters, whose united ages are 702 years
the eldest being 75 and the youngest 57. The
Transcript says:
I here are two brothers living belonging to
the same family, whose ages swell the number
to 832. Two other brothers, one at au early
the other at an advanced age, are the only ones
of the family deceased. They have thus met for
the first, and undoubtedly the last time this side
of the grave. They have assembled for the pur
pose of recalling the past, and comparing early
associations to strengthen the ties of affection
They are the family of the late Thomas Gross
of Wellfleet, Mass., and were each bom amon«-'
the sand hills of Cape Cod, and are, as may be
easily imagined, hale and hearty to an uncom
mon degree. They belong to the old Puritanical
stock of Massachusetts—a pious and goodly
band of Christian Sisters, each having joined
the Methodist Church, in their earlier years, and
still continuing steadfast in the faith of their
fathers. The mother of this truly remarkable
family, the writer of these lines, scarcely out of
his teens, distinctly remembers as one of his
earliest recollections, a small old lady, straight
as a yard stick, though nearly ninety years'” of
age. She died in 1835. Where is the parallel
to the above?
“What can a man do," asked a green’un>
“ when the sheriff is seen coming up to him with
a writ in his hand V’ “ Apply the remedy,’’
said another, gruffly. “ Apply the remedy! what
kind of remedy V' “ Heel- ing remedy, you
goose—run like a quarter horse.’"

OBITUARY.
Diod, on the 12th Sept, last, at the summer re
treat, in Emanuol county, Mr. Welcome A. Mor-
I’HRee. of Burke county, in the 26th year of his
age. He fell a victim to phthisis, from which he
had been suffering for the lust fifteen months. Sel
dom havo we been called upon to witness such a
hopeful, trusting and uncomplaining spirit in the
midst of intonee anguish and pain. No murmur
o’er escaped his lips, llnd his only prayer seemed to
bo that his aged father might not grieve for him.
lie had mado his peace with his God, and calmly
awaited the summons of the fell destroyer, death.
We firmly believe that he is now in the realms of
“just men made perfect.’’ His family and friends
should not mourn for him.
Wherefore woep His matchless spirit soars
Beyond where splendid shines the orb of day;
And weeping angels lead him to those bowers
Whore endless ploasure virtue's deeds repay.

Augusta Market, Oct. 9—P. M.
COTTON.—’There has been a good demand to-day,
and the sales reach 500 bales at yesterday's prices,
say 81 a 8( for fa r.
NEW ORLEANS, October 4.— Cotton. —Arrived
since the 30th ultimo, 16,a 10 bales. Total receipts
of the week 26,270 hales. Cleared sinco the 30th
ultimo 2476 bales. Total exports of the week
11,089 bales. Stock in presses, and on ship-board
not cleared on the 3d instant, 63,041 bales.
Our last somi-weckly report closed upon a heavy
Cotton market, as the state of both the freight and
exchango markets impeded tho operations of pur
chasers. and those who came forward generally
claimed a reduction in pricos. On Wednesday
morning, the Canada's advices from Liverpool to
the 20th ultimo, were before the public, reporting
a decline of an fd. in the Liverpool Cotton market,
on the low and middling qualities, with sales dur
ing the week of 36,800 bales, of which speculators
took 11,000, and exporters 5400 bales. This intel
ligence was of a character wholly nnlooked for, as
the previous advices to tho 17th ult., brought by the
Baltic, were calculated to lead to the expectation
of a slight advance rather than a decline. This
disappointment, together with an advanco in
freights, and great difficulty in effecting exchange
negotiations, has had an unfavorable influence upon
our own market, producing much irregularity in
prices, and on tho whole a further decline of fully
ulof a cent; making the decline during tho week
i a f cent, with occasional sales at a still greater
reduction. This falling off in prices, however, has
brought forward rather more demand, and the sales
of tho past three days sum up 12,300 bales, viz—
-3800 on Wednesday, 4300 on Thursday, and 4200
yesterday. The total sales of tho week arc 17,600
bales, taken for Great Britain, franco, the Conti
nent and the North.
The weather, for sevoral woeks past, has been of
the most favorable character for gathering the
crops, and still continues so, but there seems to bo
little or no improvement in the quality of the re
ceipts, a large proportion being more or less leafy,
and still some parcels arrive that are quite dusty.
The staple, however, is generally very good, and
this is an essential point.
The receipts at this port since the Ist September
(exclusive of the arrivals from Mobile, Florida und
Texas) arc 78,882 bales, against 30,648 bales to
same date last year; and the increase in the re
ceipts at all the ports, up to tho latest dates, as com
pared with last year, is 35,393 bales. In the ex
ports from tho United States to foreign countries,
as compared with tho same dates last year, th'ero is
a decrease of 35,185 bales to Great Britain, 10,592
to other foreign ports, and an increase of 1559 bales
to France.
