BIOOVRKET. “ It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Jive prayers: the evening hath began; Be earlier than the rising sun: Remhmber those who know not God. His hand can boundless blessings give: Breathe prayers; through them the soul shall live. Wive alms: the needy sink with pain; The orphans mourn, the crushed complain. Give freely: hoarded gold is curst, A prey to robbers and to rust. Christ, through his poor, a claim doth make; Give gladly for thy Savour’s sake. Give books: they live when you are dead; Light on the darkened mind they shed : Good seed they sow, from age to age, Through all this mortal pilgrimage. They nurse the germs of holy trust; They wake untired when you are dust. Gives smiles to cheer the littlo child, A stranger on this thorny wild; It bringcth love, its guard to be lt, helpless, asketh lovo from thee. Howe’er by fortune’s gifts unblest, Give smiles to childhoods guileless breast. Give words, kind words, to those who err; Remorse doth need a comforter. Though in temptation's wiles they fall, Condemn not—we are sinners all. With the sweet charity of speech, Give words that heal, and words that toach. Give thought, give energy, to themes That perish not like folly’s dreams. Harkfrom the islands of the sea, The missionary cries to th ce: To aid him on a heathen soil, Give thought, give energy, givo toil. [Front the AT. O. Picayune , Bth msf.[ Later from Santa Ft. The following, which is dated at Indepen dence, Mo.. September 26th. has been telegraph ed to the St. Louis Republican : The mail arrived to-day from Santa Fe, with several gentlemen of the Mexican Boundary Commission, bearing dispatches to Washington City. From our correspondence we gather the following items of news: Col. Sumner and troop* left Santa Fe for the general rendezvous at San Domingo, from whence they start in a few days for the Navajo country. Rumors prevail that the Navajoes, having planted no crops, intend to take to their strongholds in the mountains, leaving the troops to perish with famine. The Right Rev. John Lamy, Rev. Machebuf, Vicar General, and Reva, Barioe and Gazela chowsko, had arrived at Santa Fe. Quite an excitement has been raised by the demand of the Catholic Bishop for the church edifice commonly known as the Military Church. Under the Mexican Government it was used exclusively as the chapel of the army. Since the conquest, it had been used by the U. S. Army as an ordnance-house. After the departure of the troops, Chief Justice Baker obtained front Col. Brooks permission to occupy the house as a court-room. The* Catholic clergy considered thima desecration of the house, and consequently objected to its being thus appropriated. The commotion was quelled by the Governor's sur rendering the key to the bishop, formally putting the possession of the building into the hands ot the church. Major Weightman is certain to be elected De legate to Congress. Much misundeistanding existed between the judges in construing the laws in regard to holding the courts, and some fear a good deal of delay in administering justice in consequence, as the law yers are refusing to bring suits until there shall be unanimity among the judges. News had reached Santa Fe, that five of Col. Sumner’s men had perished for want of water, before reaching Laguna. The troops were scat tered along the road for forty miles, and horses were daily giving out. Col. Sumner will estab lish a post at San Juan, one in the Navajo coun try, and one at Don Anna. Rain had fallen to some extent throughout New-Mexico, and vegetation was beginning to revive. An Evidence or 111-breeding. —There is no greater breach of good manners—or, rather, no better evidence of ill-breeding—than that of in terrupting another in conversation, while sjteaking —or commencing a remark before another has fully closed. No well-bred person ever does it, or continues a conversation long with one who does. The latter often finds an interesting con versation abruptly waived, closed or declined, by the former, without even suspecting the cause. It is a criterion which never fails to show the breeding of the individual. A well-bred person will not even interrupt one who is in all-respects greatly his inferior. If you wish to judge the good breeding of a person with whom you are but stightly acquainted, mark such person strict ly in this respect, and you will assuredly not be deceived. However intelligent, fluent, easy, r.r even graceful a person may appear for a short time, if you find such individual guilty of this practice, you will find him or her soon prove un interesting, insipid, and coarse. It is one of the surest, and most infallible tests ever applied for any purpose whatever. It is often amusing to see persons priding themselves on the gentility of their manners, and putting forth no Tittle ef forts to appear to advantage in many other res pects, so readily betray all in this particular. Wuat Next? —The Cincinnati Nonpariel says: “By invitation of Mr. Wood, we yesterday had the pleasure of witnessing Mr. McCormick's experiment of walking on an inverted plane. The experiment was a private one, only a few persons being present, and was made under very disadvantageous circumstances, the preparations being necessarily incomplete, and the health of Mr. McCormick being somewhat feeble. The experiment, however, passed off to the entire satisfaction of all present. A heavy frame was erected, with a slab of marble nine feet long at the top, the under surface being polished like a mirror. We saw the experimenter mount his platform, and adjust his unwieldy boots; then, placing both feet against the surface of the mar ble, be swung himself off with his head down wards. Disconnecting one foot from the slab, and placing it firmly several inches in advance of the other, he continued the alternate move ment till he had taken ten steps, and arrived at the other end of the slab. “We held our breath during the experiment, expecting momentarily that he would fall, but he appeared to walk as safely as a fly runs along the ceiling. After his descent, however, we noticed that he was much exhausted, owing to the excitement and exertion. The public ex hibition of this wonderful experiment will take place at the Melodeon on Monday evening next.” Pensacola Planjc Road.— We learn from the Pensacola Democrat that the project of a Plank road from that town, to connect with the Montgomery and Mobile Plank Road, is likely to’succeed. At a late meeting held in Sparta, Conecuh county, a large amount of stock in the road was subscribed, and the people of the coun ties interested were arousing the importance of the work. The Democrat also learns, that the Montgomery Plank Road Company had sent an agent down to meet the engineers of the Pensa cola Road, and to arrange the point of conjunc tion, &c.— Mobile Register. * Thirty-two steamboats have been built at Pittsburg, Pa., the present season, with an ag gregate tsnage of 5,255 tons.

Dear Sir: In compliance with your request, I write to give you the result of my inquiries and personal observation of the Cotton crop, from the lower part of Muscogee and Stewart, Randolph, Lee and Baker counties. My decid ed opinion is, that the crop in these counties is, at the largest calculation for the present cropone fourth less than that of last year. The fruit from the middle of the plant down, is a fair yield; from the middle to she top it is poorer than I ever saw; but putting the upper crop at half a yield, and it will leave three-fourths of a crop. I however candidly believe the upper half to be far below halt a crop.—There has been, for the last week, a good deal of bloom, which, with an ordinary season, cannot mature; the earth is very dry, the nights quite cool, and the days windy and cool. I have not met with the first man who boasted of a good crop—a habit planters are prone to. with each other. My own crop is deficient in bolls at least one-half of that of last year to the stalk; but I have about one-tbiid more plants on the ground, from two causes— first, I reduced the width of my rows from five to four feet, and my stand is greatly better. Very respectfully and sincerely, yours, &c. A Banker’s Dodge.—A story is current here of a little sharp practice on the part of the Cash ier of the People’s Bank of Patterson, which is too good tobeloet. The morning this institu tion failed he came into town, expecting to make arrangements to go on as usual; but hi* agent here very properly refused to redeem the bills un less supplied Wore hand with the needful, which was not forthcoming; and the Cashier accordiagly started on his return to make preparations for closing the bank. On arriving at Jersey City, he found quite a number of brokers collected, who had got wind of the trouble, and were on their way to Patterson to secure, if possible, the redemption of the bills in their hands. The train started, the hungry bill-holders seated in the cars, and the Cashier, who is President of the Railroad Company, standing with the engineer on the locomotive. After a run of a few miles, the bolt by which the engine drew its burden was quietly withdrawn, and the locomotive, car rying the Cashier, shot onward to Patterson, leaving the cars to follow at their leisure. As soon as he had taken leave of his passenger, the engineer put back to bring up the train, and found it at a dead stand in an interesting locali ty, where the passengers had abundant time and opportunity to examine the scenery and cool tne fever of their impatience. When the train reached Patterson the score of bankers rushed to the bank, but found it closed, with an interesting placard attached to the door!— New York Journal of Commerce. German Fatherland Liberty Movement. The Philadelphia Ledger of Monday, gives the following account of a German meeting in that city: “The Chinese Museum was crowded to over flowing on Saturday evening, to hear Dr. Kinkel on the condition of Germany, and the means of republicanizing the German Fatherland. Dr. Tikeman wassailed to the chair, assisted by some twenty or thirty vice-presidents. It was resolved to raise a German national loan, after the example of that raised by Mazzini, the Ital ian patriot statesman, who, of all the European refugees, seems to have the greatest constructive talent, and the most practical views in regard to the regeneration of tne old world. Dr. Kinkel spoke with great effect on the wrongs suffered by the German people, and the necessity of the people working out their own salvation. He. assured the meeting that the armies of Germany could no longer be relied upon by the princes, and that nothing was wanting but money to strike an effective blow for liberty. He was fol low by Messrs. Remak and Giund, and by Messrs. Tyler and Elder, in the English lan guage. A committee was appointed to receive donations and periodical subscriptions, which at once entered upon its functions, when, in a few minutes, a very handsome amount was collected and subscribed. This is a very good beginning, and if th'e Germans of other cities imitate the example, a respectable fund will, no doubt, be raised for patriotic purposes. The good, honest, laboring German population of our city, it seems, are not yet affected by the tightness of the mo ney market; at all events, their hearts are not contracted by it.” Tennessee. —The Washington Republic pub lishes an official statement of the population, wealth and other statistics of this prosperous State. We copy the following: Recapitulation of the State of Tennessee.

Six hundred and twenty bales changed hands at prices ranging from 6g to 83 cents. “I say, Jemmy, lend me your newspaper.” “1 shant do it; you would't lend me your new coat the other day.” “Well, but that’s another thing, I only want to read it to the ladies.” “And so I only wanted your coat to wear i among the ladies.” “Do you retail things here,” ‘asked a green looking specimen of humanity as he poked his ; head into a store on Main street the other day. “Yes.” was the laconic reply. “Well, I wish you would re-tail my dog—he had it bit off about a week ago.” Qncx Trip to San Francisco.—The clip per ship Flying Cloud has made the trip from New York to San Francisco in 89 days—the shortest on record, by 16 days! The N. Y. Her ald says: She mai'e Cape Horn in 50 days, and the line (Pacific side) in 71 days. Her run from Cape Horn to San Francisco was made in 39 days. Her best run in 24 hours was 374 miles—the greatest run ever made by a sea-going vessel— averaging 153 miles per hour. While making this run, she was carrying topgallant sails with . the wind one point forward of the beam. She run in three days 992 miles! On one occasion, during a squall, 17 knots of line were found in ! sufficient to measure her speed; 49 miles was her shortest run in 24 hours. When ten days out. she sprung her mainmast head, rendering the mast very tender the rest of the voyage. William Penn and Thomas Story, travelling together in Virginia, were caught in a shower of rain, and unceremoniously sheltered themselves trom it in a Tobacco house, the owner of which happening to be within it, accosted them with,— “You have a deal of inpudence to tresspass on my premises. You enter without leave. Do you know who I am?” To which was answered, “No.” “Why, then, I should have you to know, I am justice of the peace.” To which Thomas Story replied.—“My friend : here makes such things as thee—he is the Gov ernor of Pennsylvania.” The great man quickly abated his haughti ness. A Balloon, in which Mr. Pusey was to make an ascension, at York, Pa., last Saturday, slid off without him, to the great disappointment of five or six thousand persons who had assembled to witness his ascent. AUGUBTA7GA. SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 11. THE LARGEST CIBCDLMIN THE BTATi OUTSIDE DAILY. SoQih-Carolina Elections. The contest, nominally between secession and co-operation, but in fact between secession and luimnuion, is to be decided in Sonth-Carolina next Monday. A full set of secession candidates for the Southern Congress, on the one side, and of co-operation candidates on the other, are in the field, and the result will be considered in that State as a test of public sentiment. If the secession candidates are elected by an aggregate majority of the voters of the State, the Convention will look upon the result as the voice of the State in favor of separate secession of South-Carolina from the Union, and it is pre sumed, will act accordingly. If the co-opera tion candidates are elected, it will be considered, and rightly too, as the will of the State in favor of co-operation—alias tubmitrion. As there is no other Southern State to co-operate with in secession, or any other mode of resistance to the Compromise measures, all of them having de cided in favor of submission, the term co-opera tion is a misnomer. If co-operation triumphs, then submission triumphs, for it will be the de cision of South-Carolina that she too, will sub mit to the past aggressions of the Federal Gov ernment. This is a plain statement of the case. We have uniformly been in favor of the co-opera tionists, and now that the question of resistance or submission has been definitely settled every where else, we would, if in South Carolina — advocate submission. It would be impolitic—ruinous and suicidal for South Carolina to secede alone, and try the costly and perilous experiment of a separate nation* ality. Even if graciously allowed to secede peaceably, which is not probable, she would be the victim of the hostile legislation of the Federa I Government, and be overwhelmed by the embar rassments it would entail upon her. That her people are sagacious and wise enough to see and know this, we have never doubted, and have sev eral times expressed ourselves to that effect.— We have not undertaken to argue the question with a view to influence public opinion in that State. There has been no need of foreign coun sel among the people of that State to aid them to that conclusion. This matter being settled, as it doubtless will be next week, against secession, it will become the people of South Carolina to prepare to tight the demon of abolition aggression inthe Union, in stead of out of it, and for this purpose, co-opera tion with her sister Southern States will be a le gitimate subject for consideration. That aggres sions are to be made step by step, surely and steadily, there can be no doubt. The question for the South will be, how shall they be met, or shall they be submitted to, under the euphone ous title of another Compromise ? The next time the question comes up, it is to be hoped the South will present herself in the dignified and respectable attitude of united resist ance. In the contest that is now virtually past and gone, she has, by her distractions, rendered herself an object for the derision of her oppo nents, and has encouraged their hopes that she will come off no better in the next sectional struggle. The White Mountains were covered with snow on the morning of the 24th ultimo, and the ground at Lancaster, (N. H.) was also cov ed with snow. The Hon. Linn Boyd, of Kentucky, is spoken of as the Democratic candidate for Speaker in the next Congress. Rice Harvest. —The Georgetown True Re publican of Wednesday says: ‘‘The weather is and has been for a length of time excessively dry and cool. The harvest is still going on around us, though many whose crops were for ward have finished. The yield is regarded an average one.” The Hon. William A. Graham, Secretary Os the Navy, lett Washington on Monday last, on a visit to North Carolina, rendered necessary by the decease of his brother, and may probably be absent for two or three weeks.

Qy We are requested to call the attention of persons interested in the study and Science of Phrenology, to the notice of the meeting of the Augusta Phrenological Society this evening. The sole right and title to the use of Phillips’s Fire Annihilator in New Orleans has been pur chased by Messrs. Wm. Syer & Co. They paid $20,000 for it. Mr. Hobbs and his Goi.d. —The London Ex press objects, as does Mr. Hobbs, to the ungra cious manner in which Mr. Bramah paid over his two hundred guineas for having his lock pick ed. It also gives the following account of the display made ol the two hundred guineas by Mr. Hobbs at the Crystal Palace: The American department was again the great feature of attraction, Mr. Hobbs having, with a fine Barnum touch, got his reward changed into sovereigns, and spread them out under a glass case, with a policeman keeping guard, and an in scription informing the spectators that there were the two hundred guineas which had been awarded for picking Bramah’s lock. This was an argument that appealed to the meanest capa city, and excited so much curiosity that the place was a scene of bustling all day, every one wishing to assure himself jby occular proof that the American had really won the day. The hero of a hundred locks was himself the observed of all observers, and complained that even in the streets he suffers one of the disagreeable con comitants of glory, in being followed by crowds on his way to the palace. ■ii in i I' '' m ELECTION RETURNS ——■ .Q ' ' j ® £ -a. £ S« S 2 ©i* * z a 3 g 5 « A ; Set 000 wu 133 0000 0000 Baker ° ! 000 000 568 273 0000 0000 Baldwin...' 317 308 309 357 0000 0000 Bibb 783 715 754 634 0000 0000 Bryan ...... « 30 76 117 0000 0000 Bulloch 339 64 408 25 0000 0000 Burke «0 543 343 464 0000 0000 Butts *56 214 411 264 0000 0000 Cimdeh';: 225 66 176 02 0000 0000 Campbell.. mB6 000 653 311 0000 0000 53T... m2OO 000 801 428 0000 00U0 C ™ .740 1252 1461 905 638 36 Chatham'.'.!:!! 755 837 786 666 0000 0000 Chattooga 000 m4OO 462 396 0000 0000 Cherokee 000 m 550 1101 681; 0000 0000 Clarke ' 417 620 454 584 ; 775 11 Clinch” 000 000 ( 0000 0000 Cobb 1347 1267 1069 888 2000 14 Columbia 245 416 220 36110000 0000 Coweta 000 m 32 724 774 0000 0000 Crawford m9l 000 464 377 0000 0000 Decatur 000 000 392 469 0000 0000 DeKalb 699 1426 1014 832 496 147 Dade 000 m9B 309 67 0000 0000 Dooly m3OO 000 505 311 0000 0000 Early.. ..! 000 000 457 144 0000 0000 Effingham 156 177 124 202 0000 0000 Elbert 000 j 000 195 995 0000 0000 Emanuel 252 254 307 176 0000 0000 Favette 000 m 52 897 449 0000 0000 Floyd 406 1066 780 738 654 67 Foriyth 680 727 753 496 0000 0000 Franklin 000 000 914 389 0000 0000 Gilmer 000 mIOOO 838 289 0000 0000 Glrnn 50 76 38 94 0000 0000 Gordon *97 679 438 16 Greene 000 m5lO 128 761 0000 0000 Gwinnett 000 mlO 639 730 0000 0000 Haberaham ! 252 1030 771 322 0000 0000 Hall 376 7.32 : 695 542 0000 0000 Hancock 215 548 344 412 287 104 Harris 000 000 441 748 0000 0000 Heard 000 000 486 355 0000 0000 Henry 073 984 895 910 0000 0000 Houston 000 167 081 568 0000 0000 Irwin 000 000 337 41 0000 0000 Jackson 415 829 732 558 611 8 j, SDPr mlo2 000 540 410 0000 0000 Jefferson 128 532 107 430 0000 0000 Jonc , m4O 000 434 396 0000 0000 Laurens 76 679 58 539 0000 0000 Lee 000 m2OO 249 330 0000 00s*0 Liberty .! 157 - 198 146 153 0000 0000 Lincoln 165 260 172 233 0000 0000 Lowndes 000 000 430 419 0000 0000 Lumpkin 000 m 796 589 537 0000 0000 Macon 000 m 165 340 389 0000 0000 Madison 74 598 375 324 314 14 Marion 000 mlso 581 517 0000 OOtiO Mclntosh 97 143 133 79 0000 0000 Merriwether 774 731 834 743 440 60 Monroe 679 727 650 732 0000 0000 Montgomery 000 000 53 221 0000 0000 Morgan 000 m 154 272 379 0000 0000 Murray 000 m 2 00 1177 703 0000 0000 Muscogee 939 1147 857 1039 0000 0000 Newton 000 m 633 510 610 0000 0000 Oglethorpe 279 486 206 600 0000 0000 Paulding 000 m. 303 508 35910000 0000 Pike 853 901 895 719 0000 0000 Pulaski 000 000 399 246 0000 0000 Putnam 000 m 67 322 374 0000 0000 Rabun 173 228 330 21 0000 0000 Randolph 000 000 769 777 0000 00(10 Richmond. 654 856 542 739 684 27 Scriren 313 146 251 226 0000 0000 Stewart 000 ml7o 648 824 0000 0000 Sumter 000 m 489 577 662 0000 0000 Talbot 000 mllO 786 796 0000 0000 Taliaferro 61 341 69 838 0000 0000 Tatnall 84 363 96 307 0000 0000 Telfair 000 000 219 173 OOuO 0000 Thomas mlflO 000 311 418 0000 0000 Troup 000 m 732 406 1096 0000:0000 Twiggs. ...- 385 294 392 330 0000 qOiiO Union 000 000 673 285 0000 0000 Upann 352 682 423 620 0000 0000 Walker 000 m 565 918 731 0000 0000 Walton 000 n*325 741 536 0000 0000 Ware 000 000 217 268 0000 0000 Warren 428 671 417 572 0000 0000 Washington 383 812 592 012 0000 0000 Wayne 000 000 112 63 UOOO 0000 Wilkes I 342 465 334 l 441 24R: 9 Wilkinson I m72i 000 612 j 38110000,0000 ADDITIONAL ELECTION RETURNS.

A respectable number of the Cotton Planters in Burke county held a meeting this day, in Way nesboro, Maj. E. Byne, Chairman, and S. P. Davis, Secretary. J. B. Jones, Esq., after a few preliminary re marks, explanatory of the object of the meeting, offered the following Preamble and Resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, for a series of years, the market for our great Southern staple has been maintained at a figure, at which it is not far from truth to say, the cost of production equals the net proceeds to the producer, so that it has become a serious ques tion with the Cottqn Planter whether he can re main upon the soil of many of the old States and live, and whether it is not better to forego the privileges and blessings of home, and embark upon the inconveniences of a new settlement on the virgin soils of the new States: And where as, this course of things is rapidly tending to de populate our own State, with others similarly circumstanced, and thus weaken us politically as well as morally and socially: And whereas, this state of things is produced by a stringent system of combination of foreign spinners and manufac turers, and calls for counter combination of Cot ton Planters for self-protection: Therefore, be Resolved, That we concur heartily in the ob jects contemplated by the assembling of a Cot ton Planter's Convention, in Macon, during the last week of the present month. Resolved, That the more fully to evince our ap preciation of the benefits which it is intended to effect, and may secure to the Cotton States, we will send 20 delegates to represent us in said Convention. Resolved, That we will co-operate, to carry out any plan which the convention, in its wisdom may devise for the good of the Cotton Planter. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be signed by the Chairman and Secretary, and a copy be furnished the Chronicle & Sentinel, the Constitutionalist, Southern Cultivator and the Soil of the South, with the request for their pub lication. The following gentlemen were appointed by the Chair, under the second Resolution, to at tend the proposed Macon Convention; Jos. B. Jones, John Hatcher, Edmund Palmer John C. Poythress, Jno. B.

" During the past week, wo have had a fair , steady demand, with moderate sales. The mark having been easier since the arrival of the Canal the transactions would probably have been lanr but for the difficulty in negotiating. The sales r Friday were 95 bales; on Saturday 43: on Mood!! 285; on Tuesday 215; on Wednesday 246, and ve* terday 93 bales.

Groceries. —We have no change to notice in ar.v of the articles under this head. Tho market dil. ring the week has been unusually dull, leaving u; without any sales to report. By recent arrival, the already extensive stocks have been greatly ic creased, and this market can now boast of as good an assortment, and to be had at as reasonable rates as in any Southern market. We refer to our oat. side quotations, with confidence, as a correct guid> for present rates. Corn. —The stock has been materially increasei during the past week.

CHARLESTON, Oct. 10.— Cotton. —The Cotton market was very much neglected for several day; prior to the date of our last publication, and in con sequence of the partial withdrawal of buyers, it soon became depressed, and the purchases general ly inclined in favor of buyers. The week closed with the middling qualities valued at 8) a 9; mid dlingfair, 9ja 9J ; and fair 9| a 9jc. The aspect of affairs hod by no means improved at the opening of the week under review. Tho sales of Friday and Saturday wore limited to about 1000 bale;, and tho market exhibited even a greater degree of lassitude than had marked the operations of an ear Bor date. There was quite a largo accession to its stock about this poriad, which, coupled with the total absence of anything like a demand from the trade, made a decidedly unfavorable impression m prices, and on Monday, holders, in order to sell wore compelled to submit to a still further reduo tion; and those causes have subsequently bonis heavily on the market, which during the last ttire days, has been in a languid and drooping condi tion, each day showing a lower range of figure than the one that preceded it. The week closes in a very unsettled state, the quotations below, however, will give a fair index the value of this article at the close of busines from which it will be seen that these qualities haw suffered a material reduction, when compared wi:L the quotations recorded above. The sales of tht week may be estimated asflfollows, viz: —l riday 529 bales; Saturday 500; Monday 998; Tucsdt 693; Wednesday 612; Thursday 221—making ar. aggregate of 3553 bides, against the receipt, in the same time, of 7056 bales. The actual transact™ comprise 20 bales at 6; 80 at 6); 2 at 7; 75 a; ' 126 at 7*; 12 at 7 11-16; 26 at K; 81 at 8J; 112 at 81; 11 at 8J; 276 at 81; 143 at 8j; 220 at 8»; 1J at 8 13-16; 94 at 8J: 887 at 9; 783 at 9); 32 at 9 13-16. 440 at 9); 137 at 9j; and 20 bales at 9jc.

The arrivals since our las: have been limited to some 2000 bushels Maryland which havo been sold within the rango of these figures. Bacon. —Tho markot has been quiet, and two nr throe small lots Sides received this week have gone into store. Tho demand has been confined solely to purchases for retail purposos. and in thi? wav Sides havo gono off at prices ranging from 12 121 i and Shoulders from 9 j to 10c., as in quality Good Hams arc scarce, and would readily command from 12 to 13c.

O* We, the Grand Jurors, chosen, selected, an sworn for the September Term of the Superior Con t for the county of Franklin, beg leave to make the fol lowing presentments : We have, through our appropriate committee;, exam iued the books of the Clerks of the Superior, Infer and Courts of Ordinary, and find them neatly anil regn larly kept, and in a plain and legible manner, high!; creditable to those officers. We have also examin'd the books of the County Treasurer, and find them nea. ly and properly kept, and a balance in the hands of Treasurer of *569 99J cts. We have, too. examine i the books of the Receiver of Tax Returns, and find them neatly made out. hut with some unimportant error and recommend the proper authorities to have then corrected. We have also examined the County Jail, and find it a clean and safe condition. We find in said Jail a negr' who is an idiot, and therefore recommend the Inferi- Court to adopt some measures to relieve the count; from any further expense relative to him. Me lm" examined the Insolvent list of the Tax Collector, an. allowed him *99 54 upon the State tax, and $49 "i upon the county tax. We recommend to the Inferior Court to exempt fro® taxation Letty Foish, a free woman of color, on account of affliction. We recommend to the Inferior Court to make an appropriation of 0 sufficient amount of mono; to repair and put in good order the Public Square Mo approve highly of the order of the Inferior Court, re quiring the Commissioners of Roads to have put in goo order their respective roads, and we sincerely hope they will enforce that order. We find that in some portion, of the county that order has been strictly obeyed, b 1 regret to say that in others it has been partially or to tally disregarded. The bridges, with some few excep tions, are in good repair, and undergoing repair would, however, call the attention of the Inferior Court to MeEntire’s bridge, which is reported as being in - unsafe condition. We recommend to our Representatives in the ocx Legislature to have an Act passed paying the Grand am Petit Jurors of this county one dollar per day. We, with the lights before us, disapprove of the too free exercise of the pardoning power by the E vecu of this State, and particularly in the case of Tlioma- Holbrook, of this county. . ■ We request that these presentments be publish.! the Athens Banner, and that-the Constitutionalist cop. the same. We would, in conclusion, tender our thanks to Honor Judge Jackson and the Solicitor, D. 11- " • 1 * for their kind attention to our body during this JOHN H. PATRICK, Foreman E. W.
