[SPECIAL OF THE PICAYUNE.] Vela Chez, Oct, 16. 1347. This city and B agar a present the most in teresting scenes at this time. At the latter place are some 3doo troops encamped, say the 13th Infantry, Massachusetts regiment, new Ohio regiment, two I'lorida companies, Capt. Stapp’s Illinois Mounted Men, irnety recruits for the Ist Dragoons, two companies of the 11th Infantry, sixty Voltigucr recruits, and last, though by no means the least, Capt. Tighlman's magnificent light artillery battery. About half a mile beyond this camp arc four companies of Texans Hangers. Gen. Patterson has put his shoulder to the wheel in earnest, first to put an end to certain abuses that bare been too long overlooked here, and practised by officers going up in the several columns that have left tor the interior. For instance, a large number of men, belonging ; to both regular and volunteer forces have been sent into the general hospital here, by their j officers, without descriptive rolls. Numbers of thcic poor fellows have remained in hospital six and eight months, some have died, and I many are still suffering who, for want of this \ light duty on the part of their officers, cannot he honniady discharged or paid. To send them off sick, without pay, and with no pap ers by which they can claim their land bounty, or perhaps pension, would be treating them badly indeed, and the surgeons will not do it. The pay and board of those who die in hospital are lost to their heirs, if the officers under whom they have served have been so criminal as to neglect to furnish the hospital surgeon with their descriptive rolls and clothing accounts. To prevent a recurrence of this evil, Gen. Patterson has issued orders that every officer j who shall send men to the hospital without the proper papers, shall be arrested and tried. Other healthy orders have been issued and n m vi 4- I AA-nonf-nr! nv. • I f« r. I la.-. . .... 1 . arc stringently executed, and tne General is I determined that the guerrillas as well in this j vicinity as on the road, shall fool the weight of our power. Day before yesterday he despatched two companies of Texan Hangers and some other mounted men to scour the country between | the Jalapaand Orizaba roads, where guerrillas were known to be quartered, and arms and ammunition to be stored. A few miles above Santa Fe a party of Hangers came upon a ranche where they found ammunition, and several hundred bushels of American corn. They burned the ranche, and then discovered by the numerous explosions, that loaded tire-arms wore concealed there. In the vicinity of Mede lin another party discovered large quantities of arms and ammunition, and killed some six ty guerrillas. When the rangers returned to their camp, they were fully “armed and equip ped as the law directs,” and a little more so. All had sabres dangling by their sides, some had on guady uniforms, with cocked hats, and numerous other curious looking articles of clothing and ornament. One demure looking gentleman wore a robe which was supposed to have been cast off by the good Padre Jarauta when he became a robber chieftain. Whilst, however, the mounted men are employed ferreting out and destroying guer rillas and guerrilla depots, the general does not forget to protect the innocent and defence less. The following general order will show his policy in this respect: ORDERS NO. 5. Headquarters, Voeonteer Division, ? Vera Cruz, Mexico, Oct. 12, 1817. > The commanding general of the division being charged with the duty of opening the line of communication with the mam army in the interior of Mexico, directs that: 1. The communication of all corps, detach ments and posts, under his command, or led by him on the line from Vera Cruz to the headquarters of the army, shall protect from injury and insult all unarmed and peaceable inhabitants. 2. No private property shall be taken, except by the order of the commanding officer of a corps, detachment or post, and then only for the use of the troops, for which, in all cases when the owner can be found, a reasonable compensation shall be paid. 3. The frequent robberies and murder committed by gu* rrillas and other banditti, who live by plundering Mexicans as well as Americans, thereby rendering life and proper ty insecure, and interrupting trade and inter course with the interior, requiung a prompt remedy, no Mexican will be allowed to bear arms, except by the written permission of the commander of a department or post. 4. Commanders of all armed parties will ap prehend armed Mexicans faun 1 without pro per authority, and should they resist they will !Le shot. By order of Maj. Gen. Patterson: J. J. ABERCROMBIE. Lt. Col. and A. A. A. G. Among the other arrangements, a depot is to be immediately established at the National Bridge. This is certainly a most judicious measure. Escorts can always bo provided here ' for trains going no higher up than the bridge, and during the time troops are accumulating here the teams, instead of lying still, can be i employed conveying provisions, &c. to that depot. For the first few miles after leaving 1 A era Cruz the road is exceedingly heavy, and if freshly broken mules start over it with heavy loads on a long march they are often rubied. The new teams can now start with light loads, and by the time they reach the depot will be well trained and in a condition to receive the j usual weight. The army will probably move | to the interior in about a week, Ykha Citrz, Oct. 18, 1847. The Alabama, came in. yesterday morning with u large mail, much to the relief of soldiers I and citizens. Wc have nothing in the shape j of news h'ne except when the English courier j cgmes down, or a mail arrives from New j Pileans and can only amuse ourselves specula- j fiiig over tlm thousand Mexican rumors that • *■ i reach us, but which arc never true. \ erily, 1 these Mexicans arc a nation of liars—they can'; tell the truth, poor follows, their nature rebels against it. Camp Bajara is in command of Brig. Gen. "Cushing. The general is pretty hard on the Americans, sometimes, when they deviate from what he considers the path of rec titude. 'The other day it became necessary to clothe the Massachusetts regiment anew, their : old gray uniform having bo* ome seriously de lapidated. Gray clothing could not, of course, be procured here, and the United blueftho be A soldier’s clothing in the world) (was substitu ted tor it. T ire regiment accepted the clothing, w ith the exception of one company, the mem bers of which positively refused, on the ground that it was disgraceful for them to wear the national unuorni! -J hoy could not blot he themselves in anything else; they were becom ing ragged, and were on the point of marching to tnc interior, where there is no clothing at all. Gen Cushing pursued with them the I \ cry course tnat most military men would have pursued. lias order sounds somewhat harsh, but I Lke tae tone of it. Mutinous troops usually behave badly on the tick! of battle, j and the disposition which the General ha 4 made of this row’dy company is a very judi cious one. The army desires no such fellows j in its midst. But here is the General’s order : [A\ e gave the order in our last paper. Our j correspondent says that forty-five instead of sixty-five men are named in the list.] Yesterday the prisoners were marched from the camp to the castle, under the charge of Capt. Carr’s company, 11th Infantrv. On ! reaching the mole some fifteen of them endea vored to beg off, saying that if they were per mitted to return to duty they would wear the blue cloth, but it was too late. io-day the loth Infantry, will march with a train of some sixty or seventy wagons for the National Bridge. In addition to his regular staff, I sec that Gen. Patterson has appointed as aides for the march to the city of Mexico, Capt. Haile, 14th Infantry, and Midshipman Pen y, son of the commodore. The company of Capt. 11. is at Puebla. The quartermasters at Vera Cruz, Capts. Elliott, Jordan and Gleason, are ;is busy ns bees, and arc acquitting themselves in a most j creditable manner. They are young, clear - | headed and active. Elliott is at the head of the department here, and is as zealous an offi : cer as there is in the service, and is as ready to oblige those with w hom has to do. Jor ■ dan is the disbursing officer, and is very much | esteemed for his amiable, gentlemanly’ quali ties, and fine abilities as an officer. Gleason I is the issuing officer, having in charge the j horses and a greater variety of goods and chat i tels than could bo found in a dozen country stores. His head is as clear as a bell, his bu siness talents of the first order, his -manners pleasing, and his heart in the right place. But who would be a quartermaster? It is the most thankless, the most responsible office in the service. Th equ irtermaster is expected to do every thing, and they do have a little of al most every thing to do, and frequently they I are obliged to do twenty things at once. Is j there a quartermaster in the service who has not been a thousand times blamed, against whom curses,bitter and deep have been mutter jed by troops ? In fact, who is there who has ! ever been across the Gulf since the war com -1 menced.be he officer, soldier, Jcav or Gentile, j speculator, newspaper correspondent, idler or I Ia A -av I - k n .* '*'■ AWun Afl 4- V, _ i. > T i loafer,that has not cursed the quartermaster ? I j have indulged in my full share of blaming { them, yet the more I have seen of their endless ' duties, and of the killing labor that is imposed upon them, the more do I feel convinced that they arc a thousand times more sinned | against than shining, and that the press at j least should protect them against the numer ous unjust complaints that are made against them by anonymous writers. Fly Telegraph' [Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. 1 NEW YORK, Oct. 27—G P. M. The Herkimer Democratic Convention'. —I learn that the Herkimer Convention have to-day adopted resolutions repudiating the proceedings of the Syracuse convention, and re-affirming the Wilmot proviso. Mr. Wil mot himself was present and addressed the convention. This convention is composed of the young (or progressive) democracy, and was called for the purpose of repudiating the action of the convention at Syracuse, on the Wilmot proviso and other matters. They will also nominate different candidates for Lieut. ! Governor, and other offices. L).

The j length of the canal is 1100 feet and aver age width 75. The new Howard Factory 1 company are progressing rapidly with their | preparations for building, the foundation being nearly ready for the walls. Messrs. Winter & Co. are about ready to put their Saws and Planing Machine in operation, and are busily engaged in putting up the balance of the ma chinary.— Columbus Democrat , 28 th inst. [From the Albany ( Ga.) Patriot.\ Messrs. Editors : — ln Mr, Webster’s late speech in the Massachusetts Convention, in one column as published, we find the follow ing sentiments : “ I say that in my judgment, after the events of 1846, and the battle of San Jacinto, Mexico had no reason to regard Texas as one of her provinces. She had no power in Texas, but it was entirely at the disposition of those who lived in it. They made a govern ment for themselves. This country acknowl i edged that government, foreign States ac j knowledged that government, and I think in fairness and honesty, we must admit that in 1840, '4l, '42, and '43, Texas was an indepen- j dent state of the Union. Ido not admit , there fore, that it was any just ground of complaint on the pari of Mexico, that the United States an ; nexed Texas to themselves.'’ In another column of the same speech we i ; find the following: “ Sir, I have alluded to the j i declaration of Mr. Calhoun, that if there had : been no annexation of Texas, there would ! have been no war. I now choose to say, sir, | that I agree in your sentiment, expressed in I your forcible way in your place in the House ol Representatives, that the direct consequence of the act of iniquity in the annexation of Tex j as, is the war in which we are engaged.” Now, Messrs. Editors, what is the conclusion to be deduced from these two extracts? Docs not the first clearly show that Mexico hud no just claim upon Texas at the time of annexa tion, and that Texas had the full and undoubt ed right to annex herself to the United States, I and the United States to receive her? Docs not the second prove that annexation was the i cause of war — a priori, j ust on the part | I of the United States, and unjust on the part | ; of Mexico? Does not both prove that there was no iniquity towards Mexico? What then can Mr. Webster moan by styling the act an act of in puty? —His conclusions are apparent ly opposed to his premises, but they arc not so in reality. In still another paragraph of his ! speech, we find the solution of the difficulty, i Mr. Webster says, “my opposition (to unnexa- 1 tion) was founded on this ground, that I never would and never should, and I say now, I never will, and never shall vote for any further | annexation.” What then becomes of the j grandiloquent speeches of Messrs. Tombs, Stephens, Berrien and others in Georgia, who • denounced the war as so damnably unjust to | the Mexicans, when loand behold, the godlike Daniel has signally rebuked their ignorance— showed they wore barking up the wrong tree, j and incontestably proved it no act of iniquity 1 towards Mexico, but alone iniquitous to the i l ulled States of the North.—a condoling doc- i trine for Georgia truly. Get on the stump once more, Messrs. Toombs, Stephens, and Berrien, and preach it. JUNIUS. 3. ugu s t ct, (S 3 cors Ia . SUNDAY MORNING, OCT. 31. IJ# 1 The communication “T. H.

Many typographical errors arc unjustly churg | od to the printers. “Journal of Literature, E UHOPE AX AND AMERICAN.” i The Prospectus of the above periodical will be found in our columns. The enterprize proposed is worthy of all encouragement. It is one that appeals very strongly to the patronage of the educated and j literary classes of our Southern country. It will furnish rich stores of well selected liter ature from the best sources which the whole world of literature furnishes. To the busi- I ness man, it will afford an elevating and re- : I fining recreation for his leisure hours —to the i agriculturist, a fund of practical information, in addition to the intellectual enjoyment to 1 be derived from its pages—to the family circle, it will be a semi-monthly visitor, freighted j with selections which will find a welcome at the social fireside, and in the quiet boudoir. The “Journal of Literature” is modeled upon the plan of that highly popular and suc cessful work, “Little’s Living Age.” We should be much gratified, as a citizen of Au gusta, and of the South, to see a work such us the “Journal of Literature” is intended to 1 be, fully patronized and in successful opera tion. It would speak well for the literary tastes of our people, and it would evidence a commendable patriotism in the encourage ment of a South mix work; for many thousands : of dollars go annually to the North for the j encouragement of literary enterprises intrinsi ; cally not more deserving. From a personal acquaintance with the pro* joctors of the “Journal of Literature,” we feel authorized to commend them to the public as fully competent to the arduous and honor ; able task they have undertaken. The Theatre- This word is productive of a magical effect upon the eye and the car of the votaries of the muse who presides over the drama.

Anion" - W W : the names are some old favorites, and in addi tion, a star, new to the theatrical sky of Au | gusta, lends its radiance in the person of the distinguished actress Miss Clara Ellis. She will appear in the popular melo-drama of the Hunchback , and will be well sustained. In the afterpiece, the distinguished comedian, Fuller, the very sight of whom on the stage is a pro vocation to merriment, will make his first bow for the season to his old admirers in Au i gusta. On Tuesday evening, the distinguished ac | tor Air. Crisp will make his first appearance i in this citt'. Church and State- We never before understood the full force ; of the term, New School Presbyterianism, , until our eye lighted upon the following Pre j amble and Resolutions. The National Intelli gencer publishes them along with the resolu { tions of the New Hampshire AVhig Convcn i tion, and cads them “moral sentiment of | the country.” AVe rather think it will shock the “moral sentiment” of a portion at least of the country, to see a religious assemblage, brought together for ecclesiastical purposes, dabbling in politics, and identifying itself in tone and sentiment with political caucuses and conventions. It is a new school , truly, when a ! conclave of preachers, of any particular form of j religious faith, should so far ungown them | selves as to step aside from their religious calling, and enter the political arena. It is a j great scandal on the Presbyterian Church of New York and New Jersey that its Synod should recommend its ministers to convert their pulpits into political rostrums, or stumps, to use a more familiar term, from which they are to harrangue the people on the sinfulness of the existing war with Mexico. We have always understood that it was a part of our republican creed that Church and State should be separate—that neither one should interfere with the affairs of the others. Since, however, New School Presbyterianism has embarked in a political canvass, and aims to bring its apostolic artillery into play in the , ancient and approved Papal style of the thun ders of the Vatican, “To fright the souls of fearfal adversaries,” | and embarrass the administration of our fede ral government, we arc surprized that they j did not proceed further in their political cm- ' sade. Why did not the Synod give us its views on the Sub-Treasury. What side docs | it take on the Tariff question ? Does it go in i for repeal of the Tariff of 1816, and the resto ration of the Tariff of 1842 r What does it think of the sinfulness of surrendering the U. i S. Treasury to Banks, to enable them to in t crease their issues, and inflate or contract the I currency of the country, and produce at will alternate expansions and panics in the money j market ? i We will put one’more query, and then close i —at least for the present. Who is the favorite candidate of the Synod for President ? Wc should think Tom Corwin | would suit the complexion of their political ■ resolutions remarkably well. It was his speech on the Mexican war that was dubbed “A Mexican life preserver,” with a copy of which ; it w r as said that an American could travel safe ly through all the guerrilla parties in Mexico. Alight not their political views be still further ■ i promoted by recommending to their ministers to hold forth from the pulpit upon the subject ! | of his claims to the Presidency I 1 Preamble and Resolutions just adopted bi/ the f i Synod of the New School Presbyterian Church \ i of New York and Neic Jersey , viz : The Synod of New York end New Jersey, j considering the tendency of war to impede the ( progress of the Gospel, by putting the minds i of men in a state unfavorable to the influence of truth and the Holy Spirit, deem it proper and seasonable, in view of the fact that our country is now engaged in war with a neigh- ! | boring nation, which, as tar as it has proceed ed, has been unusually sanguinary and disas trous, to express thoir solemn, convictions in I the following resolutions : Resolved, That the Synod regard this war ; both as an exhibition of human wickedness j 1 and as a dreadful scourge from the hand of God. which should lead the Church of Christ ■ I to great searchings of heart, to deep humilia -1 tion and prostration of spirit, and to earnest i supplication before the Th/one of Mercy. Resolved, That it bo recommended to all the Ministers of tiie Word belonging to this by nod to labor, by prayer, preaching, and ail other appropriate means, to impress the minds of men with a sense of the sinfulness and the j evils of \\ ar, and especially of the existing war ! with Mexico. Resolved, That the Synod express the car j nest desire that all the people of this land, and especially God’s covenant people, see eye • . to eye in reference to the present and prospoc- I tive evils of the existing war, and the desira bleness of sts speedy termination. I Special Notices. City Council of Aug-usta- The Committee on the Bridge, to which was i ... i I referred the application of Col. James Gads ! den for a reduction of the rate of toll on ; grain passing the Bridge on its way to the . j South Carolina Rail Road, respectfully REPORT: j That since the Augusta Bridge became the j i property of the City, in 1810, a reduced rate : of toll on drays carrying produce or merchan | dise to or from that Rail Road, has always been j established. The toll authorized to be taken by the charter, on the passage of drays, when the Bridge was offered for sale in 1839, and with reference to which the property was sold, was 37-i cents for each crossing; but notwith standing this incontrovertible fact, and al though the City Council was under the neces sity of rebuilding the Bridge at great expense I after the freshet of 1810, they have never | charged more than 2 5 cents for each dray cros | sing with produce or merchandise to or from ' that Rail Road, except in cases hereafter men tioned, where the load exceeds certain weight. The usual quantity of corn taken at one dray load crossing the Bridge, as your Committee have ascertained from the Bridge Keeper, as well as from intelligent citizens conversant with the subject, is scarcely ever loss than 30 bush els, and frequently more; but supposing the average quantity be 30 bushels, the toll on a dray for crossing twice would be 50 cents, and the drayage 25 cents making, in all, 75 cents for 30 bushels or 2£ cents per bushel, exactly the rate per bushel for dray age and toll which | the applicant wishes established. But if a | dray which carries over corn has a return load, i even at the reduced rate of 2-3 cents, (and re- i turn loads are frequently obtained, and rarely if ever taken for less than that sum,) the dray age and toll on 30 bushels of corn -would, in j that case, be 50 cts or 13 of a ct. per bushel, or 5-Gths of a cent less than is asked. But to put the matter beyond all controversy, it has been ascertained that responsible persons arc willing to contract promptly to dray all the goods and produce which the South Carolina Bail Hoad i Company may have to pass from one Bail Boud to the other at 75 cents for dravage and toll of - ° an actual dray load, and 2\ cents per bushel for corn. It is very clear then, that the own ers of drays employed in hauling corn to the South Carolina Kail Boad, have been charging * o o the owners of that article too much for their services. The business, it is believed, would be profitable at the charge off 75 cents for the i dravage, and toll of a drayload actually carri- J Icd without charging 37i cents besides. Jus tice to the absent owners of corn, and also to the city, alike require that the toll should be paid on every 20 bushels, or that the owners i should not be charged with more toll than has i been paid, or more dray age than has been fail - i ly earned. By an existing regulation, drays crossing j the Bridge loaded with more than 1500 pounds i weight, except in cases in which 4 bales of cotton or some single article exceeds such o j : weight, pay full toll; but it is found from cx | perience to be impossible to ascertain, without i considerable delay, which is rarely admissible, the actual weight of the assorted dray loads which frequently pass from the one Bail Hoad to the other. It is known that most of those loads are either very bulky or very heavy, and if the practice of charging dravage and toll | for small or moderate loads, while actually I carrying such as are very heavy, prevails in this case, as appears to exist with regard to J corn, it will be easy to account for the impres sion that has been made in some parts of the | country that the tolls at the Augusta Bridge ! are extravagantly high, whereas any unwar rantable charge which may have been made, is contrary to the wish and in opposition to I | the interest of the City Council. It is the duty of the City Council of Au ! gusta, and of the South Carolina Rail Boad j Company, as w'ell as the Georgia Rail Road ! and Banking Company, to prevent all over charges for drayage and toll by all fair means within their power. The opinion has been sometimes expressed, by superficial or thoughtless observers, that the charge for toll at the Augusta Bridge, (al though in the case of Rail Road goods 33J per cent less than is authorized by the charter under which the bridge was purchased in open market,) is unreasonable and extravagant — that it obstructs commercial and social inter course, and is destructive of the freedom of trade. But these persons do not consider that ! ■ the toll paid for passing a bridge is not more unreasonable than the charge for passage or freight on a Rail Road or in a Steam Boat.— The charge for toll, freight or passage is the only way in which those who make invest ments in such enterprizes can receive compen | sation for the outlay of their capital in the I first instance, and the trouble of keeping their ! i property in repair and in a fit condition for the | accommodation of the public. No trade, : whether tree or shackled, would exist with- I out the prospect of prolit, and steam boats aa 1 rail roads and bridges over large rivers, would not be made without a similar pros pect, which cbuld not be held out to them without the authority to demand the payment of freight, passage, or toll. About fifteen years ago the City Council subscribed for 1000 shares of the Capital Stock of the Georgia Kail Koad and Banking Com pany, which has proved very unproductive j for many years, paying no dividend, and until I lately only occasionally a very small one, ! while the City of Augusta was paying an in | terest on a portion of her debt of 8 per cent | per annum payable semi-annually. This in i vestment aided in the construction of a work highly advantageous to the South Carolina I i Kail Koad Company, and to the people of the interior. The purchase of the Augusta Bridge for SIOO,OO0 —at which that Rail Koad Com pany refused it, and which, as far as known, no ! | other purchaser would give, proved more for tunate —although the Bridge was soon after i its purchase carried away in the great freshet of May, 1840, and was soon after rebuilt as his been already stated. When this circura- j stance is taken into consideration, it does not seem reasonable or proper, that parties who have profited so largely by the work in which ! the City Council have made such an extensive ! and unprofitable an investment, should urge a | further reduction of tolls than that which bus been liberally and voluntarily made, unless the parties to be benefitted will agree to make a reasonable compensation for such reduction.

The receh.t of ’I elegrapiuc accounts of the Cambria’s news put stop to all operations. The disastrous condition 0 f money matters in England, has had a most depress ing effect upon Cotton, and prices must, f or srtlnf , time, rule very low this side. On Monday and | Tuesday the business Was Very trilling, but on Wednesday buyers manifested a disposition to operate, and sellers offered their stocks more free ly at a decline of 11 cents on the last week’s pri ces and about 7(H) bales were sold; Yesterday | farther sales were made of 230 bales, I he sales ol the week amount to i,027 hales as i follows; 54 at 7£; 271 at 8; 202 at 85; 370 aigi- 7 51 at B£, and 61 bales at 81 cents. 1 he last sale nt til bales was before the market was settled, and is no criterion of the ruling prices: j cents is the extreme price tor a choice quality of Cotton.

Oct. 23.— Cotton. —It will ho j recollected that at the time of making up our pre vious report the disastrous accounts by the steamer i Cambria had bat just come to hand; and although a few sales were made after their arrival at a de j Ciine of ;| a Ic, the m irket could not be said to have opened under these advices, and we forbore | giving quotations. The short period that has since elapsed has proven how utterly I utile it would have been to have quoted the article at the close of the week, with the reductioi noticed above as the i basis for our n notations. There was a verv thin at- i Uiloio UUi 1 lit Jl/ (I Vt; I \ illlf] ill" j tendance of buyers on the market both on Satur ; day and Monday last, as they were generally en ' gaged with their private correspondence, and the i transactions during these two days were rather j limited than otherwise, and at very fluctuating prices. On Tuesday there was an increased de mand for the article, but ibj market throughout the day continued in an unsettled stale, with a decided downward tendency in prices The j operations on Vv ednesday were limited and prices continued their downward course. On Thursday the sales were also light, and purchasers obtained a further advantage. Yesterday a fair enquiry prevailed, but the operations were limited, owing to the unwillingness maniles'ed on the part of hol ders to yield to still greater concessions. It will thus be seen that the article has suffered almost daily in value. The decline in prices, since the arrival of the Steamer is hilly li| a 2c, perlb.

Rice. —\V e have no new feature to notice in the Rice market, except, perhaps, that there has been an increased demand for the article. Par i cels are readily taken on arrival at the extremes of the previous week, viz a 4 per hundred.— The bulk of the transactions have been at 3J and l >er hundred. 'Pile receipts of the week coin price 21-56 tierces, nearly the whole of which lias passed into second hands. Corn. — VV e have no change to notice in our Corn i market. The transactions, as has been the i for some weeks back, have been limited, and con j fined to small paroles within the range of our quo -1 t a dons, which have been sustained in consequence j of the limited receipts.

MONTGOMERY, Oct. 28.— Cotton.— The mar ket here, in consequence of the late news from ; Europe bringing an additional decline, and the ac j count of the embarrassed state of the money njar i ket and the effect produced on the Liverpool cot- I ton market, has declined, and is less active than i last week. The crop is corning in freely, but there is an indisposition to sell at current rates. Small sales are effected from those, the smallness of I whose crop compels them to sell.
