Cotton. —The market has advanced }c. since
tiie arrival of the Atlantic. Sales 1.200 bales.
[ From*tht N. O. True Delta, QSth till.]
From Texas.
In the arrival of the steamship Mexico Cap
tain Place, we have Galveston papers to the 22d
Hist., inclusive.
Ju relation to the cotton rrop the Xews of that
date has the following:
“All advices front the interior of this State,
tend to confirm us in the opinion we have already
expressed, viz. that the present growing cotton
crop bids fair to turn out far beyond an ordinary
yield, both in quantity and quality. The, pick
ing, thus far. has been uninterrupted; in truth,
there is every reason to believe—judging from
present indications—that this year s picking sea
son will be an uncommonly propitious one. We
were shown, this morning, samples of seven
new bales, which they have received within
the last few days; and we can without hesita
tion pronounce those samples as lully fair cotton.
Nine bales are all that have yet been brought
into this market; though it is believed that in
the course of the next thirty days, the receipts
will have become quite liberal.”
The Huntsville Item mentions a specimen of
coal from the banks of the Trinity, which it says
burns freely, and is believed to be of good quality.
Coal has long been known to exist upon the
Trinity in large quantities, but its quality has
been a matter of dispute.
The editor of the Houston Telegraph ltarns
from Capt. Wood, that a new post has recently
been established on the Clear Fork of the Brazos;
and that the mineral wealth in the contiguous
country is supposed to be very great. Immense
beds of iron ore have been discovered in the im
mediate vicinity of the post; and an extensive
deposit of fossil coal has been found within a
few miles of it. It is also represented that val
uable mines of copper and lead exist ir. that
neighborhood.
The San Antonio papers state that Jim, the
Delaware Indian, who has long been of service
to the whites as a guide and interpreter, was
drowned in the Leona.
The returns of the election (says the Civilian,)
come in slowly. Most of our exchanges for the
eastern and northern portions of the State failed
by- the last 'nail, and we are nearly as much in
the dark in regard to the vote of those sect ions'as
we were a week ago. Flying reports, however,
concur in stating that Scurry is elected to Con
gress while the old Judgesot the Supreme Court
are far ahead. The contest tor Lieutenant Gov
ernor is evidently between Ward and Hender
son, though as yet Ward’s strong-holds have not
been heard from.
IfcThe Lagrange Monument has learn, from four
gentlemen w ho were in pursuit of A. W. O'Con
nell, who murdered John Euren in the town of
Huntsville, a short time since, that he was cap
tured by some of the citizens of Caldwell county
having in possession a horse, stolen from ther
midst, and was immediately executed.
The Tyler (Smith county) 'Telegraph says:
“Fine mercantile establishments, hotels, law of
fices and private residences are raising up as if
bv magic; there is a number of industrious, en
terprising merchants here; and yet they are not
able to supply the demand.”

Sir :—Permit a lady to express her unbounded
thanks, for the pri reloss benefit you have con
i' ferred upon the afflicted, and more especially upon
i myself, in your Compound, called “ Magical Pain
Eradicator .” I trust, Sir, you will accept this vol
untary tribute as some little compensation for the
i benefit I have derived from the use of your Rheu
matic Liniment. I have tried it in various affec
l tions in my family, and also upon myself, all Qf
[ which have resulted beyond my most sanguine wish
| «s or expectations. It is, according to my humble
I opinion, and experience, the host and most volua
■ ble preparation now before tho public, and I must
| say, the only one I have ever known, that will
I come up to what is said about it. Allow mo, Sir,
I again, to thank you for urging this medicine upon
| me. The money which it cost is a mere secondary
I consideration. Rcepecrfully, your obliged

Augusta Market, September 3.
COTTON—During the past week we have had a good
and steady demand at improving prices, and all parcels
offered met with ready sale. The quantity offering,
however, is very limited, and the sales of the week, in
consequence, have been light. Planters, who hold near
ly all the Cotton now on hand, are firm, and show' but
liftle disposition to sell at present prices. Prices have
advanced in this market, since onr last weekly notice,
all of j cent, but even at this advance, fhere are hnt few
sellers. We quote
Good Middling 8*
Middling Pair...!
There lias been no Fair on the market; a lot of this
quality would readily bring 8J cents.

GROCERIES.—We have a dull market to report iu
the Grocery line since our last publication. The stocks
of our Merchants are daily on the increase, and when
the Fall business sets in. the stock of Goods in Augusta
will be found large and better assorted than for a num
ber of years past. Merchants from the interior have
now a better opportunity of examining the Augusta
market than they have enjoyed since the Georgia Rail
Road lias been in operation. They can now take the
night train from any point from Atlanta and arrive in
Augusta in time for the Charleston cars, aud still have
sufficient tinje, in Augusta, to examine our market be
fore going further.
BACON.—There is a good demand for Bacon, with a
limited stock on hand, and prices have still further im
proved this week Holders aro now asking 111 a HJc.,
cash, for ribbed Sides by the small quantity, and HI for
clear. Shoulders are selling at from 91 to 11 cents—the
latter price for a very handsome article. Good Hams
arc worth 13 a 14 latter price by retail.

by the keg 13 a 14 cents. A common article by the
bbl. is worth 11J al2 cents.
BAGGING.—There is less doing in Ragging than we
have had to notice at this season of the year for some
years past. Holders, however, aro stiff, ami refuse to
sell, by wholesale under 15 cents for Gunny. By re
tail from store, it is selling at prices ranging from lot to
to 16 cents.

the increase, and sales are making at 8$ to 9} cents, by

and the Granite and Cuuningham Mills are kept busy
grinding. They find no difficulty in making sales at

WHEAT.—Prime White is in doninnd at $1,25 per
bushel; good new Red sl. *

still high enough to enable light draft steamers to reach

Jones County, Ga., Dec., 1848.
Dr. Little —Dear Sir: It is with heart-felt grati
tude that I inform you, your Anodyne Cough
Drops saved a child of mine from the grave. He
was attacked with the pneumonia, as tho doctor
who attended him a week called it, without being
able to arrest it. By this time he had become pros
trate. and from the violence of the cough and fe
ver, was expected to die constantly. In this situa
tion wc discontinued all other medicine and gave
your Cough Drops; the first docs helped him much,
and after repeating it a few times the cough and
fever subsided, leaving him calm and tranquil for
the first time since the attack. The medicine was
continued, and after twenty-four hours use, wo con
sidered him out of danger. From this time he
improved rapidly, and soon recovered. In two
other cases in my family it proved highly beneficial
in curing coughs and colds. I have used your Ver
mifuge with a great advantage in a number of
eases.
In future, I intend keeping a supply of your Fami
ly Medicine on hand, as well as advise my friends
to the same course.

mander Sales has not been misplaced:—
Conway, Mass. July 14, 1851.
Messrs. Ross, Steams A Co., successors to C. Rich
A Co., 148 Water street, New York:—Gentlemen—
To your inquiries respecting the fate of tho Sala
mander Safe, No. 3,381, purchased of you through
Mossrs. Wm. Bryce A Co., it is porhaps sufficient to
say, that I am at present writing on paper which
was in tho Safe at the time of tho destruction of our
manufactory by fire, on tho morning of tho 27th
inst. Tho Safe was on tho lower floor of a three
story building, containing considerable quantities of
soasoned beach timber, and it was at a red heat
when it foil into a bod of livo hard wood coals, in
which it remained imbedded about throe hours,
when it was drawn out, as soon as practicable,
opened. Tho leather bindings of tho books wore
hcHtod by the steam, and somo of the loose pnqcr.s
were somewhat stained; but not a single partilo of i
paper in nuy book was injured, and not a single
mark on any looso paper, whether made by a pen
or pencil, is dofaced. \Ve consider tho Safe in
question as having passod through one of the se
verest test to which it could liavo been put, and wo
need not assure you tent wc rejoice nt its suoCcss.
Wo will forward you tho burnt Safe, and in tlio
meantime, send us another of the samo size and
pattern, for immodiato use.
Yours, respectfully.
