The anniversary of our national and political
birthday was celebrated yesterday —if not with
all the “ pomp and circumstance;” which usually
attends it, with at least spirit enough to keep
alive the sacred recollections. At the hour ap
pointed, the Military, as previously requested, as
semilled in front of the I’nited States Hotel, where
(hey were joined by the senior offices of the city,
the Mechanics' Association —the Orator and
Reader of the day. Citizens, Ac., from which
place they repaired in procession to the I’reshy
lerian church, where a largo and respectable
auditory had assembled, to which beauty and
fashion lent their charms. The address,as was
confidently anticipated, was appropriate to the
occasion. And we arc gratified that few, it any,
of those who listened to the soul-stirring senti
ments of the youthful orator, were disappointed
in their anticipations. The orator, though young,
possesses a brilliancy of thought, and energy of
conception, which gives promise ol future use
fulness —and we hope distinction. The day
passed with many evidences of patriotism and
good feeling, without, so far as wc have learned,
the intervention of any accident to mar its
jdeasure or tranquility.
I he Artillery Guards, under the command of
(,'apt. Goui.it, were necessarily absent on tins oc
casion from the city, having left Augusta, on VV ed
tiesday evening, fur Greensboro’, whither they
had been courteously invited, to participate with
the citizens ol ihut place, in the festivities ol the
day. The warm aifff cordial reception which wo
understand they met. from the citizens of Greens
horn’, and the futility, imposes the strongest
claims upon their gratitude and remembrance.—
We indeed do hut half justice to the people of
that old and patriot county, when wo call their
reception a warm and cordial one, Jt was every
thing that heart could desire, or the most san
guine ejpeelations anticipate —it could not Le
more, for the character of the people of “Old
Greene” fur all that is noble and magnanimous,
nil that is chivalrous and gallant, all that is hospi
table in fueling and Ingh souled in principle, had
created expectations which no realization could
surpass. The highest encomium we can pass upon
her people is to say, that upon this occasion she
proved herself to he "Old Greene” still. A sump
tuous dinner was given, of which many hun
dreds partook, with all the good feeling and so
ciality which ever mark the meeting of kindred
spirits. In the evening a splendid parly was
given in honor of the Guards, by our accom
plished representative in Congress, the deserved
favorite of Georgia, Cel, William C- Haw son.

hiingseheeiingnews. Cotton has again advanced
in the face of the largest import, (105,04)0 hales
in one week,) ever made into that place. Wo
think we perceive in this, the evidence that this
great staple will maintain its prices firmly until
the corning in of the next crop. This result has
undoubtedly been produced by the ascertained
shortness of the American crop, »f which fact the
English manufacturers wire for a long time in
credulous.
We congratulate the country upon this aus
picious news, and hope it will he tidlowed hv
equally cheering and gratifying results.
The New York Evening Star gays:—The gen
eral aspect of the news is highly favorable. The
money market continued tight, ami on the l-th

took place in the price of hank stock ; hut the ex
port of bullion is decreasing, and a return of the
precious metals IVimi abroad confidently looked for.

The grain crops in England arc most promis
ing. and the yield of the harves's surpasses the
most sanguine expectations. This, being taken
iu connection with the immense grain crops in
America, the continued importations of foreign
wheat into England, from the Continent, and the
actual snppo e I deficit in our present ru/tun crop
ot 500,01)0 halt s, it stands to reason that the rise
in the price of cotton is of a substantial character
ami can la. counted upon without any fear of its
fj regrading-
As the m iss of population will now procure
their food for almost nulling, both abroad and
here, there will be more money expended in clo
thing and other manufactures To this, add the
fan, in corroboration, that several of the unem
ployed looms have again been pul in trillion.
The stale of trade in the manufacturing dis
tricts was also rather improving, and so far every
thing looks lietter. Money, however, continued
without any increase in its supply, or decrease in
demand being experienced, and American securi
ties are stated as neglected, and of course looking
down. Hales ot I nited Hiates Dank shares were
making at £24.

Gen. Floyd, at one period of his life, had the
honor of representing bis State in the Congress

low citizens invited him to occupy. We arc not
qualified to do justice to his many virtues. Those
who knew him better can better speak his praise.

For the Chronicle anil Sentinel.
Mkssiis. EniTUKs:—l cannot forbear a pass
ing notice of the performance of the young Ora
tor, of the 4th. Mr. Mathews. An entire strang
er to the writer of this notice, it is presented a
free-will offering, a grateful return for the high ,
satisfaction enjoyed on (be occasion. i
The Oration was, indeed, according to the
promise of the committee of arran . emenls, (a
promise, by the way, not always fulfilled,) “ap
propriate to the occasion,” ft was a Stirring ap
peal to the patriotism of the citizen, abounding i
with the sentiments of a mind duly appreciating
tlie excellency of our republican institutions, and
understanding their philosophy, and with the
feelings of a heart glowing with patriotic devo
tion. These sentiments and feelings were woven
As to the Orator himself, his feebleness of voice
was more than compensated by its soilness and
the Sweetness of its tones. His style of delivery
was peculiarly happy—it was natural and easy,
animated but not turbulent ; judiciously varied
with the varying subjects of bis discourse. If
we mistake not, it was peculiarly acceptable to
men of taste, from its striking contrast with the
too fashionable, bombastic declamation of the
day.
His whole manner bespoke to a stranger, the
young man of modesty without diffidence, duly
confident in his preparation for the duly assigned
him.
Iho Oration itself, oven its delivery, would
have done credit to older years and a greater
muno.
His fellow-citizens will mark him as a young
man of promise, and feel proud ol him us a native
of our city. j[

Journal of May 21st, we published tho letter of
Mr. Stevenson, our Minister In London, with an

I from which we learned that the British Govern
( men I bad submitted to ours a “draft of a eonven-

Disri-iniANci.s in Maim.—The Maine I
Democrat, published at ■ s aro, says that Gov. Fair- ■
field has had a request from eilizens of Thomas- I
i lon and Camden to callout the militia, to quell !
| an insurrection at (’niiideii, and to aid in carrying j
j into effect the militia law. It seems tin* for sev
-1 eral years the companies there have been enabled,
iin some way or other, to avoid military dutiesal- '
1 together. Under the law ol 1837, an officer from '
I another company was detailed to call them out j
; and drill them. Not appearing according to or- ■
I der. suits were eoitiineneeil on the last of the 1(1 i
I days, and an officer by the name of Hewed sent i
jto serve litem. A large number of persons, how- I
j ever, assembled at Camden—got out t swivel, a
six pounder,and armed beside with small arms,
not only resisted the officer in the execution ofhis
duties, but took his writs front him, l ire them
j up- and bestowed mu It personal abuse and lein
! ry upon him, pelting him with stones, eggs, &e.
| They threaten torerict every attempt by wbrnusol
| ever made, to sustain the execution of the milita
ry law—ami .say that they bate a large number
combined in Camden and tlieadjoining towns, lor
that purpose. The Adjutant General bar been
si-nt to Camden to communicate with the leaders
of the mob, and by proper representations of their
folly and the utter impossibility of success in tin tr

! quietly to submit.
Cot. It. .VI. Jou.vso*.—The \ ice President,
| Col. Johnson, in answer to certain inquiries pro
pounded to him growing out of rumors relative to
his course touching the next Vice Presidency,
aayg, in the course of his letter;
‘•I have never authorized the declaration that I
was unwilling to he a democralic candidate tor a
second term, if my fellow citizens dc.-ired it. I
have no reasons which did not exist at my first
nomination, why I should refuse the same sta
tion if re-elected. I wish it, however, distinctly
understood, that I have always declared to all with
whom I have conversed on this head, that 1 was
j not only willing hut would cheerfully retire. If it
j should be ascertained lhat it was (he wish o! those

Forit.ion I’osTAOK.—Mr.Vansant. the Post
master of this city, has addressed letters to the
1 Postmaster at New York audio the agents of the
■ Transatlantic Steam ship Company of 1 hat city,
I on the subject of the postage on foreign letters,
and of the complaints which have arisen in this
country, of the exaction, in England, of postage
on letters to the Continent, which had airily
been paid in the United States. The d fliculty,
which caused these complaints, arose, as hereto
fore staled, from the usage which had existed in
the New York Post Office, of putting the letters
on which the foreign postage had been thus paid,
it to the general letter bag made up for the steam
ships instead of keeping them separate.
From the letters of the New Y ork Po tmastes
and Steam ship Agency, in reply toMr. A'ansant,
we observe that measures have been adipted
which will prevent difficulty, on this subject, in
lulurc. The Agents have simplified the tar If of
foreign postages, by charging one dollar on all
(single) letters for the Continent, which includes
the steamship postage, and the British inland
postage. And the letters on which the j ost.age
to the Continent has thus been paid in advance
here, will henceforth he placed in u separate bag.
I'll us there need he, and probably will he, no diffi
culty hereafter in the steamship) Agents adjusting
the matter of advance postages, with (lie British
Postmaster, so as to avoid giving cause of com
plaint in future. —Baltimore Patriot,
The Madisonian, in reply to a bitter attack of
the Globe, remarks;—“Whatever fault may he
found with the Madisonian, we have the satis
faction of knowing that it lias received the volun
tary support of the public. No money stolen
from the United States Treasury—no money
gouged out of the United States Bank—no mon
ey begged of our poor Custom House clerks—no
money ma le by extortionate demands, has ever
entered into our collets,”
The Hurricane of January 7. isttfl.
A pamphlet of a very interesting character has
lately been published in England, on the subject
of the great Hurricane, which was experienced in
Great Britain and Ire and on the 7th of January,
IHtiU—it is by Wm. Thompson. It seems that
during the hurricane, no bird was able to keep
the wing—and immen-o numbers of various kinds,
were killed. Alter the hurricane, a great many
sea birds, principally the stormy petrel, wtere found
living and dead, in many piarls of the interior of
never found ashore in that country, since the
memory of man. Fish were also absolutely blown
out of the water, and thrown up on the land, high
and dry, to the distance of two or three yards;
and this happened on the sea shore, and on the
borders of the large lakes in the iii’erior.
It was staled by Robert Hall of Dublin, a gen
tleman of great respectability, that after the hur
ricane the dead bodies of rooks to the number of
.fff.OffO, (as a matter of curiosity the number was
reckoned by some boys) were picked up on the
shores of a lake, some miles in extent, and with
extensive rookeries on its borders, in the . ouuty
ot Westmeath! and that in the same locality,
numbers of porch were thrown to some distance
into the field. Dean \ ignolles, on whose piro
peity the circumstance occurred, confirms this
extraordinary statement—and submits to the in
spection of visiters, a more than ordinary strong
l> iiiik'l of a new window shutter, which wasdriv”
cn in and broken through by a rook dashing, or
perhaps rather from being dashed against it in
the night in question. He further mentions that
some of the perch were found as far as fifteen yards
Irom the edge of the lake —Boston Journal.
Mu. Bui.wku vs. Mus. Bet.wmi.—A writer
in the National Intelligencer communicates the
following anecdote:—
“ liulw,T on ambitious man, full of learn
mg, genius, and liberal views. He became a
member of Parliament; to his wife he had breathed
his hopes, his ambitious thoughts of what he
could effect. He spoke as he would have spoken
to his own soul. He entered the House of Com
moms; he rose to speak; it was his first trial;
his fame was at its zenith; he saw the lights
dam-e before his bewildered eyes; the student of
the one solitary lamp was before blazing and flash- i
ing chandeliers, and his heart crept la k to his 1
hook-girt sanctuary, and his tongue could nut j
uttei its beautiful and eloquent sentiments; he t
failed. Stunned and confounded, he fled to the
sanctuary of home, like the culprit to the sane- 1
lu.uy of the church. His wife was in her boudoir; '
she had heard of Ins defeat at a party where she
was. Her pride was stung. He entered to re
ceive her sympathy. Dropping him a courtesy,
she sneeriiigly addressed him—“Ah ! You are the
distinguished Edward Lytlon Bulwo , author of
Pelham and the D sotvned. You the man that
"'its to regenerate England, to overthrow the Grey
Ministry. Poor thing, scared by the glare of a
caudle ! ’ He was overwhelmed with rage, and
shipped Iter on the fin e. He was unpardonable
among men, but not among women. The pro
vocation was great. This was one of the first
causes of their separation; who was to blame in.
j 11! Morality and love will answer that question..
I Di.w.uiK Os a Swindlkh.—Under this head
the Vicksburg Sentinel of the 17tli ult. states,,
that a man by the name of H. H. Stilkh, an old'
swindler, has just left that city in debt to even
man that would trust him lor either labor, goods*
or money. He wont there and rented theS'cr
: undid) Hotel, and for upwards of three months
I he has been a liberal patron of all sorts of pro
i ft ssions But on Sunday, the 15th ult. he made
j his escape in the most adroit manner, leaving the
patronized in the lurch to the amount of several
j 1 housand dollars He sold out his interest in the
' Verandah, and to blindfold his creditors he took
i the Mansion House. While taking stock of the
| Mansion House in great pomp, lie disposed of
i his entire furniture and interest in the Verandah.
Ho gave out that he was about to assume the di
rection of the Mansion House, and thereby lulled
his creditors. But outlie day above mentioned
j he prepared his family to steal up the river to
j pass the summer, and many of his creditors .;c
-1 eompanied them to the boat to see them off’. He
j Tied and kissed, his wife before (he crowd, pray
-1 ed to their safe return in the fill to aid him in
| his arduous labors, took a parting glass on the
| boat with the passengers and his lovely wife; and
when the third Veil was rang he started with his
creditors tor the shore, Hut as soon as ho saw
them all over the plank, he returned behind the
boilers, the sailors immediately drew in the plank
and the boat w ith Filler and his family was seen
underway by the deluded creditors oi the arch
swindler. He will probably make his way to St.
Louis, or some part of Arkansas. Ihe Jkentinel
says he has played a similar game in Chin lesion,
Baltimore, Louisville. Philadelphia, New Orleans
(and Natchez, we believe,) and olcottr.se he will
not attempt to settle in either of those places.
A Philosopher, —The editor of the Delroit
Free Press sends forth the following homily to
his readers.
"Reader! don't look so melancholy—there is
better times for you yet in store, and drop that
unceasing monotonous expression of yours ol

you were under sentence of condemnation fur
homicide, fratricide, or some other wrong dele. —

Ax Ixcidext !—A Caution to the La
dies.—A lew days since a young lady with her
attendant beau, was promenading, and viewing
one ol the U. S. establishments in this vicinity,
when the fair lady, with truly feminine... timidity,
became suddenly alarmed by a number of large
wharf rain crossing her path—and in tier fright
she fancied that one of the hideous creatures had
taken refuge on her lovely person, beneath her
dress, which she fortunately succeeded in seizing,
and held hist in her hand. Not daring to quit
her hold, and almost fainting through alarm, she
explained her awkward predicament to her com
panion, when they sought entrance into a neigh
boring house, where the lady was kindly received
and shown into a private room, to remove his rat
ship from beneath the folds of her garments,
when, hands oil ! lo and behold, w hat impudent
animal dropped to the floor ! Not an enormous
rat , but the lady’s hustle —which hud unexpect
edly removed from its destination, and caused all
the false alarm ? It is needless to add that the
fair one’s difficulties were speedily adjusted, and
she soon recovered from her fright,— Barton Mtr.

Newspaper Advertising.— We are often
asked why we fill so much of our space with med
ical and other advertisements. Perhaps abetter
reason than the one given in the following article
could not he found; and we think that the editor
of the Berks and Schuylkill Journal has hit the
nail on the head in putting forth the following,
for it is much the case with us, and we suppose
with others also:
“ While every editor must he thankful to a cer
tain portion of his subscribers, for uniform punc
tuality in their payments, and for the kind inter
est which they take in the success of the paper,
v.et it is seldom, we believe, that he really expo
-1 he papers ret eived by each subscriber in the
course ol a year, cost annually more than the price
ot subscription, in the mure expense of materia!
and manual labor, and if the editor finds after set
tling hisaccounts, that he has any thing left for
his trouble, it must come from the advertising col
umns. Persons who are so much surprised to
find long advertisements of quack medicines, &<•.,
will therefore understand that they are not inser
ted from a belief that nothing more interesting to
readers could be tound, hut tor other reasons
equally important.”

ing being still very limited, sear-ely alfbrds a cri
terion as to prices; in quarters where tire disposi
tion has been to sell, a further concession of ijd
per lb. has been made upon the lower qualities of
American, while those ranging above fair are more
steady. Expoiteis have taken 460 bales Ameri
can—nothing i one on specula ion. There has
been rather more inquiry to-day, and the sale of
all kinds arc about 2000 bags. The import this
week is 31,727 bags, and the sales are 9440 bags.
May 31.
In the early part of the week the demand for
cotton considerably improved, both from the trade
and speculators, and an auv* nee of |d. to jd. per
lb. was, in many instances, obtained for the cur
rent qualities of American; but, since Tuesday, the
market has become more quiet, and closes heavily,
with little improvement on last week’s quotations.
In Sea Island a fair amount of business has been
done at former rates. The sales of the week
amount to 19,850 bales, including 3,700 American
on speculation, and 770 American, for export.
June 7.
Since our last we have bad a regular trade de
mand and a fair extent of business done daily,
though with rather more spirit in the early part of
the week than at the close; id, and in some instan
ces gd advance has been obtained upon the average
qualities of American, but the foimer point of im
provement only is now current; id advance has al
so been obtained on Maranham,and id on Pernams.
The speculative operations have been confined to
500 bales American or propeily speaking a re-sale
here to that extent of some purchases made for
dealers account last week. The sales to-day are
4000 hales of all kinds.—The import this week is
14,082 bags, and the sales are 33,030 bags. Among
which are—l4o Sea Island, 174 a3ld; 110 Stained
do, 8 a 15d; 5740 I pland, 74 a9;Jd; 4900 Now Or

June 12.
The sales on Saturday were 3000 bags; Monday
4000; Tuesday 2600; and to-dry 5000. There has
been a fair demand since last week, and prices of
American (particularly the lower quaitics) have
advanced id, and Brazils id per In. since Wednes
day of last week. Oficr kinds remain steady, i be
import of the week is very large, amounting to
91, OlObags, exclusive ofa number of vessels unre
ported.
June 12.
Cotton. —The improved demand for Cotton no
ticed in our circular of last week continues, and
there has been a very lair amount of business do
ing; the sales being, in four days, about 15,100
bags, at some further improvement in prices, par
ticularly in tire common qualities of American,
which are this week !A per pound higher.
This improvement in prices must be attributed
entirely to the firmness of holders, who at the pre
sent moment keep the market sparingly supplied,
hence an advance within the last fortnight of {j per
pound in ordinary to middling fair qualities of Ame
rican; and this too, whilst there is no material change
for tire better in the general trade of the country.
At yesterday’s market in Manchester, there was
