COTTON.-The market has been quite ami.
mated during tie past week, and heavy bust
ness, for the season, transacted. On Monday
last, prabably not less than 500 bales changed
hands, and each previous day. the market was
quite bonyant. 1t IS worthy OF remark, that pri-
ces are higher here, than at any other interior
market. either in this State or North Carolina,
and approximating SO nearly the rates in Charles

difference. We have advanced our quotations

who as he said, only incommoded the march,
could be left behind. as they were useless. This
remark soon got wind among those for whom it
was intended. A regiment was ordered 10 storm
