a good many comments lately upon tho |
high price at which CoflVois selling. Judging
from the statistics recently published,
the price is uot likely to come dovfn, but
to go up still higher, us the consumption
for the last few years has be* n increasing
more rapidly than the production. I.ast
year the total consumption of Europu and
the United Stntes alone was 330,<(00 tons,
whilst the production of all countries was
but 312.000 tons. Thn nrnlmlilj ciiinnmri

of the present year is estimated nt 337,000

Our Court
Which wnain session last week adjourned
Thursday evening, after disposing of all the
business upon the Dockets, ready for adjudication.
The cases disposed of were at,!
unimportant, except to the parties themselves,
and of an ordinary character. The
Sessions business is fast dwindling away in
this District. There was but a {tingle State
case tried during the Term, and that a
small atTair of an Assault and Battery.?
This State of affairs augurs one of two
things : eiU.i.er that our people arc getting
to be very law abjding ; or else informants
are becoming rarer, and a less degree of
vigilance exercised by those whose dnty it
is to present viojnfgry of the law, than formerly.
"Minute Men."
Wo have been requested lg announce that
on Saturday next at 3$ o'clock, a branch of
this new asaocialion will be regularly organized
at this place. The greeting is appointed
in the day time, in order that those persona
from the country who have signified nn intention
to join, and others who desire to become
members, may conveniently attend.?
The object of this association, if we under.
s'and it correctly, is simply to insure the
equalit) and protection of the rights of the
South in the Union, and failing in that, to
establish her independence out of it. None
who stand upon this ground should hesitate
io enrol mem-seives us "Minute Men." II

thing that wjl/ effect this, or that will lead

limes, should meet with hearty encouragement.

on authority that Senator Hammond
is a candidate for re'election. The

may have been his intention at the previous
period, the present critical aspect of affaire '

The Marlboro Af/a^r?The report to
the effect that James K. flitciiene and hie
son, lately ariested in Marlboro under suspicion*
of a purpose to incite insurrection,
were hanged, hue been contradicted. The

The Besouroes of $he SouthIt
is remarkable that the people of the
South, as a ranss, are apparently uncou- I
cious of the vast power which tliev are ca- J
pable of exertion either in the present (?ov- !
ernment, or separated from the North. We
have within our reach the means of making
our enemies respect us, if we will but use
them. This is seen by the people of the
North ; or at least those of them that are
not blinded by passiou und prejudice. A
Philadelphia paper, in reviewing the lato elactions
in that State, remarks :
Conservative Pennsylvania seems disposed
to join herself to that Northern Abolition
party, which, if true to its professions,
must dtitan!v? iKtt f In inn
When it breaks the chief bonds of Union
as formed by the .Constitution, the South
will have nothing left to it but to declare,
| to promulgate what the North has actually
done When ihe North commits that hign
handed act, then the South will declare Free
trade, and make treaties with European
powers,giving them priority and preference,
and excluding Northern products inanutnc
tures and ships. The North will thus ho
left to support itself, und .to compete with
Europe.
The South may then invite the idle art"
sana and manufacturers of the North to
come to them, where they will have employment.
Now of every six dollars earned by j
wie r>oiiin, lour ot tlieui nre paid to the i
North. The South eon exchange with fig. I
rope i>er Cotton and her Tobueco for whatever
she wants, the Norili will have nothing
comparatively to exchange There is
nothing whatever which the South now receives
from the North which it cannot get
cheaper elsewhere. The North can no* here
else get what it now gets from the South.
In these two sentences there are volumes
of suggestions.

melancholy occurrence, an occurring in
our town on Wednesday evening last, by
which a young man, just merged into
manhood, and a member of a highly es :
teemed family of our District, was shot j
and almost instantly killed, and another,
of youth and equal respectabdily, was
severely wounded. Desiring to touch no
chord in the afflicted hoar's of the devoted
parents and friends, on either side,
we forbear any particulars in detail. J lie |
ball by which the young man alluded to
came to his death, penetrated the rjght |
breast near '.he nipple, and passing across,'
is supposed to have found a lodgment in j
or near the heart. He expired in a very
short time?probably not more than ten
minutes. The wounded pajtv gave h'm |

circumstances of the case are su:h that ii
is believed bail will be readily obtained.

Saratoga Spkings, Sept. 10, IHtiO.
In my letter from Burlington, I indicated
that one of the purposes of inv visit l<> !
that eity, wax a ride on Lake ('hnmplnin. '
The Lake lies North and South?is about
130 miles long, varying in width from a half
mile ami sometimes less to thirteen miles.
It divides New York and Vermont. While- I
hall is at the Southern extremity?the ex- I
treme Northern part lies in Canada It is j
connected with the St. Lawrence River
through the St. John's River?a canal 04 ;
miles long connects it with the Hudson.? j
It takes its name from Samuel Chainplnin, 1
who discovered it in Hioy; lie was the founder
of Quebec and the Canada settlement* .
around ; at the time of the discovery lie j
was on an expedition again it tho Iroquois '
Iudii.ps, wl\o dwelt on I.nke Chatnplain
and also Luke George. Although not so i
large, still 1-akc (Jhnmpluin possesses as |
much if not mere of interest than any < f
the Ainericaii Lakes, on account of its beautiful
scenery and historical associations.? j
On tho Vermont side are the Green Mountains
and on lite New York the Adirondack
range. Here are bold headlands running ;
into the water and almost overlooking the !
steamer ns she glides along?there a eon- i
tiuuous range with lofty peaks stretching
far away in the distance, interspersed wiin j
villages,dotted over with neat faiui houses 1
and well cultivated farms. Fiom the steam I
er too may he seen several towns and vil. |
luges on the shore and in the distance, .
whilst the Lake is studded w ith many sm-il! j
Islands. After looking and feasting the natural

ly faultless scenery, with the aid of the |
Marine glasses yon can al'no-t hriug up i
tlie objects wiiliiu speaking distance. On I
the day ot'iuy passage we had to run against ;
a strong head wind, so much so, tiiat the i
bow of the boat * as uncomfortable, this |
caused the passengers to .-eck the stern,
where we were closely, but not uncomfortably
packed, it was my luck to be seated
near a party wlio hail travelled extensively,
not only in the States and t'anuda, but alto
on the Rhine, over the Alps, in Italy ami
Europe, generally, lie and In- lady were
good talkers, in their comparisons and criticisms
on scenery, in some instances, they
gave the preference to this scenery, oxer
that which thev had seen elsewhere This

Three line Steamers constitute the regular I
line which run in connection with the Kail i

name and signifies "noisy," so called front

among the killed was Lord Howe. Toe I

(<ener.il Amherst, and remained in their |
possession until the 10th May, 1775, when !
it was surprised and taken by tienl, Kiliuti |
Allen, wjlli 83 "green mountain boys." Allen
and his men, under the guidance of a i
boy who was familiar with tin; location,
was conducted to Hit- gate which was open, |
he cut down It c sentinel, rushed in and .
aroused the sleeping garrison w ith a de- I
mat.d for arj instant surrender. The otlicer ,
in command not realizing the stale of affairs,
demanded of Allen bv what authority
ho ordered a a surrender. In the nnme of

IT IS A COMMON OliSKUVATIOX Hint
tlierc are mure sufferers from debility, among
Americans, than can he found among any other
civilised nation. The reason is obvious. We
take loo little exercise, unil forget the wants of
the body in the absorbing pursuit* of hushies*.
In ull Mich cases, ordinaly medicines can do
little good. What is required is just each a
tonic and invigorator as Dr. J. Ilostciter has
given to the world, in his Celebrated It'ltois.?
The weak and nei vous denizen ol the countingtiou.-e,
Hie exhausted toiler upon the shoplioaid,
and the prostrated student of the midnight
lamp, have found a wniidcilnl regenerator
in the Itinera, ucl piefer it to mote pretentious,
but lees ellicacious medicines. Dot it
diuuld not be forgotten tiiat the agent wbich is
so magical in its iiitlucuce upon a frame w hich
is merely debilitated, is cipially powertul in in-i.-ting
nature to expel the most tcriilde forms
nf disease. \\ ho would not give it u tiial V

for where can a remedy bo found ? There is
! one :?drink but little wine, beer, or spirits, or
far better, none ; take no codec,?weak tea being
preferable; get ail the fresh air you can ;
take three or four Pills ovtnr night; eat plenty
J of solids, avoiding the use of slops; and if these
golden rules arc followed, you will be happy in
