accounts per the Great Western having been
considered unfavnrable by our principal deal
ers, the market assumed an unhealthy appear
ancc. However, on Sunday we received En-
ropcan dates of n more cheering nature, and
our market since then is quite lively with nd-
vancing prices. The receipts since our last
report have been unusually large for the sea.

favorable to the planters for gathering in the

Fire on the Central Rail Road.-We
learn from n passenger who came down
on the Road yesterday that the three
freight car switb abou, 100 bales of Cotton
were burned, while standing ON the turnout
The 70 mile station. We are informed
that fire had heen built near the cars,
but whether il was communicated in this
.or some other manner, we have not been
able to ascertain. We doubt not that an
investigation will be instituted, and that
in due lime The neglect or mischief which
led TO this calamiious result will be
known.
We have received some statements
from trustworthy sources,to the effect that
considerable intenperance exists among
some of the engineers and conductors on
the road The observation of several of
those gentlemen who lately went to the
Macon celebration, or we might rather
say, their information went to establish
this fact.
Since The above was in type, we have
learned that on Saturday night, another
car attached to the same train was burnt,
containing about twenty bales Cotton.
This accident took place some where
above the eighty mile station, but VIC have
been unable TO ascertain the particulars.

Tho Cock and The Coon.-Chapman Of
the Indiana Sentinel, the first chicken Of
the democratic party. draws the following
comparison between the popular political
cmblems Of the day:
"The democratic papers announce al
most every victory under The figure of a
growing rouster. We had. doubtless some
share oursclf, uninentionally, however, of
introducing this bird as an emblem Of de-
mocracy. Brave, visilant, and sprighlly,
lie is always on The watch. So soon as
The Sun like great loco toco match, light
ems up the world, and scalters the darkness
of night, the cuck salutes us with bis well
known cry of loco fj co. He is faithful
and constant il his attachments, aud loaths
traitors or those who fursake their friends.
When ST. Peter like whis; failed to re-
deem the promises he made, the cock re-
prinanded him three times. And through
out the Union the democratic cock is re-
primandius the wings for failing TO redeem
the promises Of good limes-of 1.-TWO dol.
lars day, and roast beef"
The Coon or whig ensign is kuavish
animal.-lle prowls about in the dafk and
breads the light. The blaze of loco ioco
match starts him of in alarm. He sneaks
from hen-roost like whig from bank to
bank on a borrowed capital. A, cock
growing lie puts off like an evil spirit 10

The first requisite talen, for man to
introduction into good society, in This
country, is for him to curse and swear
we'll. Let him be an adepl in this, and he
will be sure go ahead. In England and
Ireland. this practice is held in contempt,
even among the lower classes. Here il is
considered as smarlness and gift of ma
tural abilities. Children are Taught to
swear before they can speak plain their
mother tongue, and long before they are
instructed 10 say their prayers. Yet we
think that our country is the mosl enlish
tened in the world; and perhaps il is en-
lightened in the practice of swearing.
Next to an open inidel slanderer, keep US
aloof from The profane swearer. 1t is one
of the lowest, and niseardly calings that a
gentleman can he guilty Of. 1t shows a
want Of decency and proper education,
