l IM iT residing in Georgia. By all who know himTn ' the army and out of it, and his friends in Maryland, his memory will be fondly cherish ed. Humored Death ol Dr Chas W Hitchcock Since the above was in type, we have re ceived the Baltimore Sun of loth inst., which paper says -.“'VN e copied, on Sunday, a notice from the Argus, announcing the death of Bn Chas. M. Hitchcock, which has drawn forth *:he following gratifying evidence of the impro bability of the announcement, which will be read with pleasure by his numerous friends and relatives : To the Editors of the Baltimore Sun: I per ceive it stated, in a paragraph in you paper of this morning taken from the “Argus," that Dr. Chas. M. Hitchcock, of the army, had “died at Tampico, on the 30th ult. of yellow fever." It is a source of sincere pleasure to me to oe able to state, for the information of his family and numerous friends, that I received by last evening’s southern mail, an official despatch from Dr. Chas. M. Hitchcock, dated “Tampico, Mexico, Oct. 18," six days after the date of his reported death. • It is true, he was taken down with yellow fever on the 3d of October ; but, as his medi bal attendant informed me, under date of the 9th, that he was then “ convalescing," and, as Dr. Hitchcock made no allusion to his recent sickness in his letter of the 18th, there is every reason to believe that he is alive and well.

MOBILE, Nov. 13.— Cotton. —The receipts since this day week reach 4555 bales, and the exports in the same time are 1848, as follows: Liverpool 1076, Barcelona 305, and New York 467—leaving the stock on hand and on shipboard not cleared last evening, 30,398 bales, against 11,401 last season, andjz 1,756 the year previous. The date of our last report left the market dull, but firm—sales of the week, 4,500 bales—middlings a T\c. The transactions of the week just closed were on a very limited scale—sales averaging daily about 300 bales. Holders were not disposed to offer their stock freely,—neither were buyers induced to operate to any extent, and the limited sales effected were towards the close, at a reduc tion on the rates of last week of ;Ic. per pound. In this condition the market remained until yes terday morning’s mail placed us in possession of telegraphic slips with advices from England of the 19th ult per Caledonia steamer, advising further j large failures, a more stringent state of the money | ; market, and a general decline in the price of all articles of produce. So far as our information ex tend*, the decline- in cotton was trifling, taking the [ very' deplorable state of confidence and credit in view, and whilst breadstuff's had fallen off in value I very materially. This news suspended at once all business, and the quotations we give below must be understood as the rates that prevailed previous to the receipt of the Livt rpool accounts.

GALVANISM is supposed to be identical with Electricity and Magnetism, and these won drous agents have long been known to possess great efficacy in the cure of some very painful and tedi ous diseases. These benefits, however, have been greatly lessened by a want of means for their pro per application. This has been entirely and suc cessfully remedied by Dr. CHRISTIE’S G AL VANIC RINGS, BELTS, BRACELETS, and other articles, which are adapted to any part of the system with perfect safety and certainty of bene ficial effect. In all Nervous Complaints, or those which are caused by any' derangement of the Ner vous System, such as Paralysis , Tic Doloreaux, Bronchitis. Neuralgia, Chronic Rheumatism. Epi leptic Fits, Farmers, Dyspepsia, Ac., the effect of DR, CHRISTIE’S Galvanic articles is truly won derful; the most perfect cures being often made when all hope had gone, and physic and the phy sician had equally failed. Pamphlets with full descriptions and the most respectable testimonials may be had gratis of the authorized Agent, di* they' will be sent by mail. (TTCaution.—The great celebrity and success j Dr. Christie s Galvanic and Magnetic Curatives, has caused them to be counterfeited by unprinci pled persons.
