Adjust their differences, we were met with that cordial frankness Mid confidence which gen tlomnen only know how to exhibit on such occasions. and which, fully sustained throughout all the stages of the negotiations, secured the happy result we now an nounce.

EDiron EDOFFIELD ADvzRTissn:-Sir:-The above words were the caption of ,an article which apleared in one of the Georgia Jourpals a week or two since; f and which we also take as our text this morning. The ) "Dealers" will need good. backholders to pay the I losses upon the cotton they have bought of the " Pro ducers " this year. We venture to assert, that scarce L ly a bale of cotton has beeg bought since September r by the former, that has not lost from two to four dol l lars per bale before it could reach the Seaboard. Therefore the text suits us-" Cotton Dealers stand up," to which we add, Amen! "Cotton Planters, stand up !" for you can-as but few of you have sold your cotton yet,-and may get a good price before it goes lower. Whether you sell or not, or only a part at present-remember the Mer chants, your benefactors! They have suffered more from the present monetary crisis than any of the community. They bought large stocks of goods to supply the wants and necessities of their customerS, which goods declined on their hands since the com mencement of last Full; and they were compelled to sell them at A corresponding decline with the North t ern markets, and consequently did sell them to you at - a loss in very many cases. They have bought your produeo and lost upon it. They have not been able to meet their notes when due, with the necessary punc tuality, in consequence of the majority of the Plant ers not selling any part or their cotton before Christ mas, and not paying their debts before Christmas as usual. Recollect that the Merchants buy their goods on the short time of four months when they buy on cred it. They are compelled to make their notes payable in ank, and which, if not paid at maturity are pro tested for non-payment and the Merchant's credit ruined. In order to maintain their credit they have Sbeen comupelledl during the past Fall to renew their notes for a longer period of 30 or 60 days, paying in terest and exchange for the accommodatIon. In many instances thecy have had to renew those notes again and again, paying interest and exchange each time. What goods they wvere compelled to buy for cash, they have had to make remittances on immediately, with exchange as bigh as three to six per cent, instead of a q1uarter per cent as formerly. Tauking alt things into consideration, we repeat, "the ,merrhlann lame anfferid more fromt t.e prenaent crisis than ay ina the commnaity."'

The Sunday night Lectures on "aSeripainre, Histo- C ry, anad B)iolraphy," at Globe Street Presbyterian h Church by time Pastor, hmave been resumed.

Commerce, thoeharbinger and testof Civilization. 2. Relation of Commerce to Christianity. 3. Commercial Ethics. 4. Corporations and Insolvencies. 5. The Business man at Home. 6. Carthage. All these Lectures are drawing crowded congrega-. ions, and attracting great interest. Rev. Dr. Bachman, Pastor of the English Lutheran Chureh, delivered in the forenoon, a sermon on the oc :asion of the 43A Anniversary of his ministerial con liection with his congregation. It was a scene of most touching interest, and many a moistened eye was Dbserved in that sympathising auditory as the vener. able spenker recalled the varied incidents of his long areer in Charleston, and alluded to the many friends and associates of his earlier labors for the-Church, now almost all numbered with the dead, and their places filled with descendants, some even unto the third generation. Your medical readers will be gratifie~d to learn that our dlistinguished Professor of Surgery in the College, Dr. Geddings, has consented to the publication of a Report of his Lectures, which will cre long, be issued from the press of this City, under the editorial supervision of Doctors Waring and Logan, two of our younger members of. thb profession, who have all necessary materials for their work, in the form of full and elaborate notes taken by them while attending the Professor's Lectures as students. It will be a vol ume of some five to six hundred pages. The Mount Pleasant Hotel and 16 adjoining Lots, in this improving village, are advertised to be sold next month. This affords a fine opportunity for some man-of means to establish permanently a good public house as a health resort. Such an establishnment is much needed, and if skillfully conducted, will draw patronage. There is some prospect of our Race Course being selected for the Nationad Course which is about to be selected. In the investigation now in progress, this site has received special honorable mention, as re markably adapted by its shape, dimensions and many important facilities, to the purpose contemplated. The directors of the " Church Home," established under the auspices of the Episcopalians, as a I-lace of refuge for worthy indigent females are appealing to the benevolent for aid in extenling their accomo modations. The " Home" now supports 25 inmates, and applicants for admission are numerous, but being burdened with a debt of $1000, is unable to increase the number of its beneficiaries at present. From the well-tosted liberality of our Church-going people, I have no doubt that the appeal will not be lost, and that this useful Institution will be sustained in its work of love. Among the New Goods offering on the ladies shop ping promenade are all the latest varieties and im provements in Crinoline. Brown Flounced, Lattice, Coronution, Pompadour, Crown Royal Quilted Skirts in profusion, and the " New Adjustable Bustle Skele ton, Grand Double Extension, Tempered Steel Skirts" which the King Street gentlemen tell us, is "giving such great satisfaction." There is no estimating how far the spirit of improvement will reach in this Hoop business. Our Churches and Halls' must soon have their doors and porches enlarged to admit the " Angel visitors." Commend me to the plain, unpretending "Skeleton" which in its simplicity and modesty, re minds yon of Cupid caught in a net, and does not expand the circumference immoderately.

I was killced by the Abolitionists. A large and well irgnize.d hanl of Lane's Myrnmadous had infeustedh he vicinity of Fort Scictt, noirdering men, womnto ni children, wherever found in a defenseless situn ion. The citizens generally armed to arrcst their irogress. On their way to Osaigo, thme Head-Quarters if he enemy, they encountered five arumed meni snp-' osedl to he spies, whio they took prisoners and carriedl o Fort Scott and put undler guard. They then re urned to Osago where they met the main body-ni ight ensuned, several were severely wounded, among rhom was Dr. G. P. H[anmilton and B. Brantly, Jr., 'f Qeorgia. 'They however succeedeid in driving thmem far as " Sugar Mound," a distance of thirty miiles. Yhen they again returned to the Fort. Shortly after~ thodles started to his home at a Steam Mill, seven Ites West of Furt Scott, and on his way thither was mylaid and killedl by a hand of Abolitionists-cnid by too haud beenm his co-laborers at thme Mill. Rhodes ad been the engineer of the Mill for the past year. Poor Rhodes! I knew him well, andi a truer or raver man never went to Kansas. Hie was among ic first who went from Edgefield. In peace and in rar ie nobly done his'duty. In 1856, he, together rithi a few others of us, made a tour of five hundired ies into, the country of the Camnanche Indians. hortly after we started ho was attacked with Ty.. hoid fever, whieh continued with little hope of re.. very for fifty-five diiys. Hie never murmered nor eipained. Rteturning-again to the settled portion f Kansas just at the time when hostilities commenced etween the pro-slavery and Abolition parties, but et weak amnd feeble, and determined to do his duty, e shouldered his gun and wnent into the service and ne his duty like a man; and when peace was again stred, he, (as soon as ho could get employment) ent to work and earned an honest living. Had a majority of those who went to Kansas done er duty as did James Rhodes, Government troops ould not now be required to keep peace and enforce e laws in that distracted country. Peace be to his she, and may the Lord rest his soul in eternal hap 'mess. Yourse Trutly, G1 1. T3.
