AUGUSTA MARKET, OCTOBER L
REMARKS.—Wo present our readers this morning !
with our anutt d tallies of the Stock of Cotton remaining
on hand. theJsliipme:its, and tlta Receipts in Augusta and j
Hamburg, during the year, from which it will he seen that 1
the stock of Cotton remaining on hand in Augusta and
II unbiirg on th" Ist instant, is less than at the same period
last year l»v 2,4(13 hales; whilst tiie shipments reach this i
year 194,365, against 147,108 b iles at the same period last
year, showi g an increase in shipments of 47,257 bales.—
The receipts h ive been 191,902 bales, against 146,563 bales j
up to the Ist October, 1839, being an increase of 44,330
bales. In our table of shipments, those for Sept. 1839, are
left blank, for the reason that during the sickness of that
year we omitted onr regular table on the first of August, ;
and gave August and September in our table ofthe first
Oct ber, so that the total given will he found correct, as
will also the statement for the whole year.
COTTON.—’Phe receipts during the past week or two
have been so limited that business has almost been at a
stand. There are, we learn, several orders in the market
which cannot he filled far the. want of cotton. The re
ceipts of the new crop this year have been very light,
amounting in all, in Augusta and Hamburg, to only 273
bales, which has been disposed of principally at from 9 to
10 cents. —Os that received the quality of the lies! cannot
be classed over fully fair. In old cotton there is 1 ttle
or no business doing, and we have no alteration to notice

| IT. S. MAIL LINE TO THE NORTH.
TRNHE only Line carrying the great Northern Mail, in
K.. conic ctien w ith the Charleston and Wilmington
Steamboat and Rail-Road Line, commencing at the north
ern end of that line and running through Petersbm g, Rich
mond, Frederick.-burg, Washington, Baltimore, &c., by
Rail-Roads ami Steamboats.
Travellers will Ii d this line perfect throughout. Tim
Rail-Roads are in fine order—the Engines and Gars new,
and ofthe most approved construction, and the Steamboats
unsurpassed by any in the Union. There is now no delay
at any point and no expense or trouble attending the tran
| sition of persons or baggage from one Rail Road to an
other. From Richmond north, the route is now over bv
1 daylight, and the trip is made from Wclden to Bal’imore
in 21 hours, including all stoppag s.
Os the tw o routes going north from tiie Wilmington
Rail Road, the Mail route i> the shortest by 20 miles, and
being nearly all rail-road it w ill be found the most certain
and expeditious. The other line through Portsmouth
can only compete with it, when it has an early start, with
! favorable weather, fair winds and smooth water. This
w ill be evident to every traveller when he rellects that it
has Searly 200 miles of steamboat navigation, on a wide
j Bay, for the most part out of sight of land.
On the Mail Line, there are no changes from cars to
steamboats in the dead o night; no starling from a crowd
ed harbor in the dark: no delays from fogsor gales of wind;
no sea-sickness, and no Ion? line of steamboats forced to
run at the top of their speed togel through iu time—all of
which will he found on the Portsmouth route. The Mail
Line will be found the most intere-ting of the two, as it
i passes through large and flourishing towns, a pleasant
country in sight of Mount Vernon (close to which the
steamboat on the Potomac passes,) and through Washing
ton City, which, it is believed, are much more agreeable
objects than tha pines and swamps, or the endless pros
pect of water on the other.
The .Mail Line is the only direct route to Washington.
Passengers by it reach there a day ahead of those who
take the other line. It is the only, route to the Virginia
Springs. There is now on this route In the direction of
the Springs, 160 mi'es of rail road carrying passtngers
w ithin a days rifle of them.
The Fare is the same to Baltimore as by the other line,
and passengers pay through.
For further information apply to the Agents ofthe Pe
tersburg Rail Road Companv at Garvsburgor Welden.
