IN stating explicitly, from circumstances
that has transpired a, Washington during
the present session Of Congress, that the
contest is narrowed down to Clay and Van
Buren, for the Presidency, and that he has
"as little hesitation in saying that there is
but one line Of action by which VIC can ac-
quiz ourselves for the fun measure Of our
duty TO the counIry-and that is, waving all
minor considerations, TO give manly sup
port 10 Mr. Clay in preference 10 Mr.. Van
Buren," And he SAYS further, For my
self, can conceive Of no greater calamity
to the nation, or deeper discredit 10 the
cause and very name Of popular govern
menl, than the reelection of Martin Van
Buren, would be-" As might be expected
the whole kennel Of the opposition press

COkUMBlA-IANUARY


COTTON There has been quite revival in
prices for orr staple generally. Las, week our
market ranged from to IS cents, and there has
since been an advance Of three fourtns of cent.
This advance has been principally owing 10 the
settled conviction OF the shoitness of the present
crop Ii has been ascertained that we are 60.
0U0 bales short in the receipts up 10 the first in.
slant, compared with those of last year That
IS that there Llust be in the planters hands the
same amount received after this period las, year
and 50 600 bales besides TO make the present crop
equal to the last The heavy rains too we have
4 had recently, have not been without their effect
upon our market. There still remains consld.
erahle quantity Of Cotton unpicked which will
be entirely destroyed by the wet weather. This
unfav orable weather, moreover, we learn, has not
been confined entirely to 5 Carolina and Geor-
gia. We learn from gentleman recently from
the West, that for period of four weeks spent
in that quarter he scarcely saw the Sun at all
All these circumstances taken in consideration
we think it pretty certain that Cotton cannot get
down below the present rates again this season.
We quote extremes to-day from 81 TO 81 cents
an extra fine lot would probably bring something
more. There is, however, little or aone coming
into MARKET Chronicle.

queer THeory of he former Des,ruc

queer Theory Of Ire former Destruc-
ton l;"he UorM.--The Az,ees, tribe
which inhabited ,ha! par! of America cell
ed Mexico, suppose that four successive
revolutions had a! dlAerant epochs des-
royeL mankind. These epochs were
called ages or suns. The frs! was called
the age of the Earth, which took place
52O6 years after the creation Of the first
sun, in which the giants, who had then
dominion over the earth, were DESTROYED
by famine, and those who escaped from
this sad scourge were deyoured by tigers.
The second was called the Age of Fire,
and happened 1904 years after the pre-
ceding age. At this epoch the world was
destroyed by fire and as the birds only
could escape the general conilagration,
men were changed into birds. A man
and woman were, however saved in a
cave. The third epoch, called the Age
OF Wind. took place 1910 years after the
Age of Fire. In this revolution the world
was destroyed by violent hurricanes, and
the few men who escaped were changed
into apes. The Fourth epoch, the Age
of Water, happened 40Os years after the
preceding one, universal deuge occur
red, in which all men were changed into
fishes, except man and woman. This
privileged pair was saved in the hollow of
tree; the children of this couple we're all
porn dumb, and were taught to speak by
1 dove; but every child learned different
language.
