8 [Written for the Sonthern Field and Fireside.] MAN IS IXMOBTAL. BY l-RAMMOND KENNEDY. Am 1 immortal ? Is it true That in this tenement of clay. There bums a spark of life divine — A spark whose light shall ever shine? * When to the sepulchre I'm borne. When silent in the grave I lie, , When into dust my body turns. Can it be said, “ The light at ill burner The light of Immortality! Oh. when I pass away from earth. Like fleeting shadow from the wall— Or wave that breaks upon the shore. Say 1 am I lost forevermore ? Or, like the wave that doth return Upon the fast receding tide, Do I not |iass the shore of Death. And in Eternity ilraw breath ? Yes, in Eternity draw breath! Why do I die, and what is Death? Is death the word for lack of breath? What is the power that gave me life? What means that fearful, awful strife. That rages fiercely in the soul. E'er life its current deep doth roll Into the everlasting sea Os fathorifiess Eternity ? What is the meaning of that strife ? The spirit is the li/e of man— The body is the soul's abode; And when the spirit doth depart, The body quivers with a start; And when the spirit thence hath flown. The body cannot lice alone : It therefore lieth down and dies, While soaring up the spirit flies— Flies to the judgment bar of God! Man is immortal! for he feels The thought of endless being creep. Armed with a strange, convicting power, Through his soul’s depths; and in that hour To think—“ I'm like a dog in death. That passes with his dying breath To dust, and nothing else but dust!" Ah! then he dares not to distrust The Immortality of man! Man is immortal 1 In the grave There sleepeth not all that he was. Where is the Hope that filled his mind— The Faith that made him so resigned? Where hath mysterious Memory gone, And Love that cheered him with her song? Where all tho longings that oppressed ? Hushed into everlasting rest? Ah, no ! the flower blooms ere it dies ! Wo would not wrap a gloomy shroud Os dreary darkness round the sun; We would not close the twinkling eye Os ov'ry star in evening's sky; We would not make the glorious light A silent, hopeless, lonely night; Yet men exist who, round the tomb Cast shades of deepest, darkest gloom. By doubting Immortality t A Rainbow spreads its radiant arch , That speaks of hope across the sky; It spans the solemn dying bed. And cheering light on ft doth shed; It rests In beauty on the tomb, And gently dissipates the gloom; It touches earth, and reaches heaven, That Rainbow is the hope that's given Os glorious Immortality! Macon, Ga., 2d May, 1850. — I«I [Written for the Southern Field and Fireside.] SOUL AND SENSE. What the Sense discourseth to the Soul of Man, and the Soul replyeth. BY JUDGE STARNES. Sense—Sweet Is the zephyr’s kiss, And sweet that breath of bliss, Where beauty weds bloom in the mornings of May. Soul —Wooing zephyrs quickly fly, Fragrant flowers droop and die, And love, like the spring-time, soon pnsseth away. Sense— How joyous summer's light, Where the sun reigns in might! And hot ho|ics of manhood arc bright as that day. Soul —Summer's pleasures soon depart, Bunny hopes desert the heart. And the strength of our manhood passeth away. Sense— Ripe autumn hath its hues, Its rich and mellow views; And age, like the harvest-moon, hath its bright ray. Soul —Autumn's tints shall shortly fade. Fulling leaves flit through the glade, And age, like the hurvest-moon, passeth away. Sense —Wild winter's gloom so cold. Shrouds nature in its fold Ah! death is as cold os the dark winter day. Soul —Sunshine chases winter's gloom, Hope of mercy lights the tomb; And death, like the winter, soon passeth away. Augusta, Ga. COMMERCIAL. AUGUSTA MARKET, MAY 20-P. M. Cotton.—A partial panic prevails at present in the cotton trade, in consequence of the doubtful extent and duration of the difficulties between Austria and Sardinia and France. Those difficulties have already caused a se rious decline tn the public funds of those countries; in cidentally affected the value of the consolidated funds of England and unsettled financial confidence throughout Europe. Such a condition of affairs materially Interferes with commercial prosperity, and the cotton trade is the first to feel its blighting influence. At Liverpool, cotton has declined, from its highest point, about (equal to about one and a half cents of our currency,) while in this country cotton has declined fully two cents on some grades, and from two to three cents on other grades. It appears then, in the United States, that the siorehcnded injury to the value of cotton has been fully disfetunted, if the decline here does not have the effect of causing 4, still greater decline in Liverpool In this Market to-day, cotton may be regarded as irreg ular in in an unsettled condition. We hear of lots classing Mfbfljing offered at 10)$ cents, and buyers at 10)$ cents. The rankest prices offered for Middling Fair are from 10)$ to 10H cents according to condition of bales, quality of cotton, The trade, however, may be said to be at a stand. Peovisions.— There is a .qKwulativc feeling in the pro vision trade, and prices have htomtly improved. We quote for Clear Tennessee Sides cents, and for Ten nessee Shoulders 9to 9)s cents. Western Ribbed Sides sell from 11)$ to 12 cents, and Shoulde* 9 to 9)s cents. Lard is firm at from 18 to 14 cents, accortW to quality and quantity. Breadstuff's. —All commodities in tho Breadstuff's line have advanced, and are held at full and firm price*, Su perfine Flour sells from $7.50 to SB.OO. Wheat ranges from sl.lO to $l5O. Corn is Ann at SI.OO to $1.05. In*, is firm at 5 to s)s cents, at wholesale. ■, Gbocerif.B.—Rio Coffee'is steady at from 12 to 18 cts.- Laguayra 18)$ to 14; and Java from 17 to 20 cents $ lb.

PROGRESSIVE POWER PRESSES—BULLOCH'S Patent Improved. The undersigned Is now manufacturing the above Cot ton Presses complete, with all the late improvements. This Press has proved itself to be superior to all descrip tions of Screws and Presses heretofore used, in speeil [lower, durability and economy. In point of labor-saving, this Press stands unrivalled. One-half the hands usually required for the Screw, can, with the large size of these Presses, perform more work, at the same time compres sing a greater weight of cotton in much smaller bales. The strain being thrown on wrought iron rods, no sup [Kirting frame is needed. It occupies a space on the ground not exceeding three by six feet, and well arranged to [iut inside the gin house or lint room, thereby protect ing hands and machinery from the weather. It can be easily shipped by railroad or wagon, and set up and put to work bv the ordinary plantation hands, without fear of accident, it being very simple in its construction and management. Planters visiting this city, can see one of these Presses in operation at Messrs. Cainfield A Crane’s, comer Rey nolds street and Call's Alley.

It is in j. quarto form of eight [lages, folio size—each issue con taining forty columns of matter. In mechanical exccu -1 thin, it Is in the best style of the typographical art.

In mental attractions, it will be all that a spirit of en ) terprise on my part, and a laudable emulation on the jiart of others, can evoke from Southern intellect and cultiva tion. l Too long the Southern people have been content to look - to Northern periodicals for instraction in agricultural [, matters, and to Northern literary [>apers for mental rec rcation. There is, however, a growing spirit of inile ,• [icndenee and of self-reliance at the South. Our people b are awaking to the conviction that we have the elements -of success in the experience, knowledge, and scientific L investigation, of the dwellers in our own Southern homes. - The truth is gleaming upon us, that we have literary rc b sources of own worthy to bo fostered —that among South -1 ern writers should he divided sumo [Kirtion of that vast stream of Southern money that flows per|ictually north p ward to sustain Northern literature, t My aim is to establish a Isi per that will be a vehicle of f infm uiation useful to Southern Planters and Farmers, and 1 a reiiository of Southern thought, imagination and taste, in tne realms of Literature and Art; and to obtain for it s such an extent of patronage and success, as will justify - the most liberal compensation to all its contributors. Able and experienced editors arc engaged, and steps are i. in progress to secure contributions from the most pleasing f Southern writers, of both sexes. Much latent talent will i, be brought to light, and furnish some agreeable surprises to Southern people. “Full many a gem, of purest ray serene," - will flash before their admiring eyes, and cause a gen erous glow of pride in Southern genius.

The subscriber respectfully informs the cotton planters of Georgia and South Carolina, that he has entered the above improved Gin at five different Fairs, in competition with nine other Gins, and the Committees have invaria bly- decided that my Gin was entitled to the first pre mium—and I have been awarded two *SO Silver Pitchers in Augusta. I entered at three Fairs in South Carolina. At Columbia, the Committee said I was entitled to the Gold Medal, three to one, over two other competing Gins —but my Gin was ruled out, because not of South Caro lina manufacture. At the Charleston Fair, however, the Committee awarded me the first premium—a framed diploma—over the very Gin that received the Gold Mesial at Columbia—which distinctly shows my Gin to be the best entered at all the Fairs. ’ ' I have made another improvement on my Ribs, which I maintain places them far in advance of nil other Gins, j I can make my Riba equal to two sets, by simply turning t a cast button under the top screw-board, by w hich means I \ obtain the advantage of having one place to gin Dry Cot- I ton through, and another to gin Damp.

Should the Agents of Mr. Oglesby rail to meet me upon the term* above stated, I then extend the challenge to Mr. Overby himself. The above challenge Is also extended to Mr. Hender son, Agent of Clemens A Brown, Columbus, Geo., and I will meet them half way. Winship's Gin received the premium at Atlanta, and the same Gin I hud shipped to Montgomery, Ala., and re ceived the premium over Clemens & Brown's Double 1 Cylinder Gin, entered otwn to the world by running. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.—I have abandoned all Traveling Agents for the sale of my Gins. Since I made my late improvements I have been able to remain at work in my shop, and sold every Gin I could make up to the first of’March last, and also twenty-two or twenty- j three which I hail on band, receiving over five thousand dollars on the sales. I also repaired old Gins to the amount of over one thousand dollars, attaching my im provements, anil all of my work lias proved good, without , any one to go and see my Gins put up and set to work.

In every respect it gives me entire satisfaction, namely —It gins fast, cleans the seeds thoroughly, runs light and free of heat, and turns out fine samples of cotton. I would recommend all persons desirous of purchasing a good gin to give Mr. Wynne's Improved Oin a trial. I hail to pay a good price, but do not regret it If I were without one, and could not do better, I think I would pay near double rather than be without one of them, as I consider them the best by far, I have ever used, and have several differ ent makers.
