Still the experience of a long se ries of years conclusively slhews that no thing more than a lowv'average price cai be ex pected -and obtained. Week alte week, the papers give the sales; and wera we to sity that from 5 to 6 cents is the av eralge, it w"ould generally be correct. 1 must he mortifying to the planters contin ually to hope for an increase in price ani be disappointed. Under such circumi stances and in view of the results of Ioni experience, they would cqwell not to ex pect prices above a oe'rthin average ani make their caloiilations and.pxpensen ac cordingly. Such a eoursn7 rigidly ad hered to, would make 'them more inde pendent of pecuniary liabilities and th attendant ha rrnasing anxieties. In accordance wvith our cu:stom and tIe repeated requests of our subscribers, w give the price of cotton in the Charlestoi market, at the last report, as at from 5 1 to 6 1.4, varying, we perceive, but littl from the average above mentioned.

Among the encouragements toward the the speedy execution of this en-erprises - the fact that the greater. part of the work will be taken payable in stock, while a sum will remain :smply sufficient for the necessary money payments.

It is ascertained that a company, north of us and interested in the completion of the road, will subscribe 6100,000, and either make actual money payments, or pay by procuring at their own time and on their own terms the iron for the road.
