I!y passengers vve learn there was a small fire in Charleston on Wednes day evening, doing but little damage. The steam packet Neptune had arrived in Charleston from New \ ork. Her passengers speak of her in the highest terms of commendation. On Sun day night she was in a tremendous gale, which she weathered in the most gallant style. The Express from the North failed beyond Columbia Si C., and from the Soullt beyond- Milledgeville. It was therefore a total fail ure. We have been requested as a matter inter esting to many of our renders to publish the Texas Land Util, passed by the Texas Con gress at its last session. We commence it today and will complete it tomorrow. The Menagerie & Circus of J. B. M. Hobby have arrived in this city and are now exhibiting as will be seen by their advertisement. The moving Dioramas of Messrs. Hall and Hares are now exhibiting at die Masonic Hall, and Mr Barnes and family arc performing at the Theatre, We earnestly request Hie attention of our rea ders to the article below from the Newark Daily Advertiser. The attention ol those interested in the culture of Colton is particularly directed to the facts stated therein and to the effect produ. ccd by the operations of the U. S. Hunk upon the price of Cotton. We ourselves have been aware for some lime past, of the effect produ ced lit th:r ."‘“rket by the purchase of Colton on account of that institution. At one 111"? ! ast summer, our market was prostrate —the means of buying Cotton were not within the control of the usual porchascis, and a ruinous prostration of price, and almost total sacrifice to holders and planters seemed inevitable. At this juncture the U. S. Bank entered the market lo purchase Cot ton for the purpose of shipping to England in lieu of specie, and the price instantaneously advanced —life and animation were once more infused into the matket, and hundreds of thousand of dollars saved to the Southern Stales, which must other wise have been lost by the sale of Colton at lower prices than were paid by the Bank. The bene fit produced in our market amounted to ul least one cent per pound, if not more, and the money thus advanced for the purchase of cotton gave a sensible and cflicienl relief lo the city,and enabled it lo escape much pressure which would other wise have been felt. ‘•The U. S. Bank lastjsunimer, through two southern institutions, purchased upward of 150,- 000 hales of cotton. The price thereupon rose one cent per pound; thereby making a difference in the actual means of the South in their favor, of at least live millions of dollars. By the con trol of the Bank thus acquired over so laige \to. amount of cotton, sales have not been forced to that degree as to altoct the market; and the consequence is a rise of a penny per lb; thus increasing the value of one article of southern produce 12 or 14 millions of dollars.” ‘•The Western Georgian” is the title of a new paper, published weekly, at Rom 1 , Floyd county, by Samuel S. Jack, at.d edited by Jaa. 11. Wright. Tiie Chiukasaws. —We have just convers ed, (says the Nashville Banner, of the 251 h inst.) with Col. A. M. M. Upshaw, the su perintendent for removing the Jhicliasaws who arrived in town on Tuesday last, who informs us the whole nation, except, perhaps three or four hundred, have arrived safely in their new com.try west of Arkansas. Tnoy express themselves saltslied in their now abode. [roil THE CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.] dtlr. Editor: I’crmit mo through the medium of your valuable paper, to express my ideas of the Diouamas, now exihiling in our city.—t’ass- I ing up Broad street on Tuesday evening last, my j attention was arrested try music, which I soon ascertained lo bo at the Masonic Hal!; and, liav- ! ing scon the advertisement of Messrs. Hall & , Hares, I procured a ticket—went in, and saw the exhibition, and was much delighted. Their views of Baltimore, Naples, and Vesuvi. us, are well executed; The latter presents a vivid representation of all the phenomena of an eruption, and is truly suhlim The, vessels 6ec Won sailing lo and fro in the hays of Baltimore nnd Naples, and the shepherds returning with their flocks, appear like nature in miniature, and fully tell much ingenuity and skill. The last scene—the Conflagration or Mos. t cow, is a terrifically grand representation; in t size, it surpasses any I have before seen, anil, in my opinion, is not inferior to avij in design and a merit. I regretted to sec so much talent, and so much | exertion, on the part of the proprietors, to please, | not meet with the liberal patronage they so rich ' ly deserve. I was informed, to my astonishment, • by a gentleman present, that the -whole—paint ing, machinery, &c.—is a Southern production ! —designed and executed incur sistcrcily, Sa vannah; and, that ha had learned, the proprietors were diffident of disclosing the fact—fearful, p robably, that if it were known not to have had its birth in New Yoiik, Boston, or Phila delphia —it would not be patronized. Should it besof Shall our own exertions of this, or any 4 other kind —genius and talent—of equal claim— be field so far inferior to others, und permitted, for want of support, to droop and die? 1 trust and believe not. It supported, I learn they intend to extend the present attractions—if not, they will, probably, abandon further improvements. Go und see them the last scene—Moscow—is wortit the price of admission.
