HAMBURG, April 9. I
Cotton.-The receipts of Cotton for The last
week have been light, owing 10 The engage
ment of planters at home in preparing for, and
sowing their crops. We notice. however, that
there is quite an animation among buyers but
at low rates, and we hope that the market viii!
resume its usual activity in q few more days
though we do not look for very high rates.
Prices are now as much too low. as they were
too high previous to the last accounts from En-
rope; and rs natural consequence, they must
advance, unless we have discouraging news
by the next arrival. Taking every thing into
consideration, we are Of the opinion that hold
ers, provided they can breath a few months
longer, will reGlize much better profits, than at
the present going rates.; and we think that
speculation as well as business, will receive al
Impetus next year. which will make prospects
wear another appearance towhat they now
present to those who are down in the mouth.
Prices to-day, range from 6 to II cts.-prin-
cipal sales "a to u cents, with an upward
tendency. We look for an advance on last
weeks prices Of at Ieast cent by next Ties
day; in fact the market has experienced full
cent since this day week. The New York
market seems to be very favorable TO holders.
On the Sd inst. there was much activity in that
market. and the improved feeling noticed the
dav previous, resulted in an advance of about
Ct per h. on the lowest point Of depression.
So we advise our friends not to be discouraged.

Georpia &. South Carolina Rail Road

Georgia g. South Carolina Rail Road
EARLY in January last We noticed the
unrivalled irregulariiv ID the arrival Of the
cars OH these two roads, which. during
period Of four months from the Isl OF Sep
tember to the lst of January, had failed TO
arrive at their destination in proper lime
only four times-lwce on each road-all
of which has been produced by some slight
arrangement of the machinery, which in
each instance delayed them only a few
hours beyond their regular time.
We have now another opportunity Of
noticing fact still more extraordinary,
and which. in connection with the former,
establishes most conclusively The superior
management of;hese two roads, above any
in the United States, and perhaps the
world, for regularity in The performance Of
The trips Of The passenger and small trains.
Since the Ist of January to this time,
period of more than three months. but two
failures have been made on these two
roads, one on each. That on the Charles
ton road was caused by the blocking up of
the road by another train which had run
off in consequence Of the misplacing of
switch, and The one on the Georgia road
by the slide Of quantity Of The earth into
deep cut after heavy rain. When,
therefore, it is recol!ected, that the pas
senger cars pass, over each ofthese roads
twice day, an aggregate distance of four
hundred and eighly-;wo miles, daily, two
hundred and ten of which, ON the Georgia
road, are passed entirely in the night, it is
certainly the most astonishing feat 10 the
history of railroad travel on record--and

plish like performance! Only six fail.
