The question is frequently asked US, what will
the democrats do in the House this year? This
question is easily answered There are lew
members cleo, of the Cidcrcrals, who will not vote,
for Col, Paine; but in our opinion, there will be
enough who will to elect him. It is reported that
he will not allow himself TO be candidate in the
House. If he shond moi there will undoubtedly

ter which time its regular and prompt ap-

From the augusta Chronicle and Sentinel.
THE AUGUSTA MIRROR.

The patrons Of the Mirror will learn
from the card ofthe Editor, that its rubli-
cation will, ere long, be resumed. In con-
nexion with his card we desire TO say that
;as soon as the paper can he obtainci from
our manufacturer, which will probably be
by The middle Of March, The Mirror will
lie issued. The only assurance we can
give the patrons. is that the duties devol-
we'd on US as publishers shall be faithfully
executed, and we llatter ourselves that he
typographical execution will be such as TO
render the work acceptibe 10 its numerous
friends.
Itmay not be improper for us to add,
that in consentins to become the publishers
Of the Mirror, we have prompted more by
our desire TO have the work sustained in
'ouy city, than any immediate prospect OF
gain. We appeal therefore 10 our own
citizens aud to Southern gentlemen gener-
ally, whether native or adopted sons Of our
genial cline. TO bestow on The enterprise
whatever need of patronage il deserves,
and we hesitate not TO assert that in pro.
portion as its means are increased, shall lis
usefulness be extended.
As no enterprise, however laulablc, can
succeed without the approval Of the gen,
aler sex, we must invoke their kind con-
sideralion of the Mirror. And we natter
ourselves, if we are so fortunate rs 10 rem.
der the work all agreeable and interesting
Parlour Journal, we shall not look in vain
to the Ladies fer that appreciation which
will place the Mirror beyond the reach Of
contingencies.

Cotton.-Durins The past week there
has been very active demand for the sta
pIe, and considerable amountof business
has been done at an advance, generally,
of a 4c. per lb. on the prices current the
week previous. This activity, together
with the enhanced prices, are attributable,
no doubt, IN part TO the favorable advlces
from Liverpool, up to the 9Th ulimo, re-
ceived in this place, on Friday evening
asl, but the principal cause in the view of
many persons, is the well krown facr, that
our crop will be but short one, and hence
the belief, that prices must advance still
further in the foreign market, ere long.
Our receipts have fallen of very much,
during the pas, week, owing TO the unfa-
vorable condition of the roads, and the sup
ply in 1.-The market is very small. The

principally from wagons at lOt llc.'
