THE MARKETS..
CHARLESTON MARKET-May "a

Cotton.-Y esterday, the Britannia advlces,
which decidedly favorable, reached us, and du-
ring the day 1868 bales were sold at improve
ment of &c. per h. and we have accordingly adj
vanced our quotations of Saturday last, but would
remark that the market closed in an unsettled state
some contended that the advance is even greater
The receipts of the week 1862 bales, and the
aggregate sale in the same time foot up 67S5 bales:
-6 at 5; "a at 81 Ill at s.; ESQ at 81 l66
at So; 296 at s.: 272 at 81; 295 at 6; al 81;
81 SIG; HOS at 81; 1872 at &C; l42 at Tie;
1882 at 81; l6l at 6 GIG; 3l7 at 6: sd at 81;
and 500 bales at 7 cents per ID. A few bags Sea
Island sold at prices rang ing from l9 to &c., and
60 bags stained from to l4c per ID.
Rice-The Rice market has been very quiet
throughout the week just closed, the transactions
having been fully confined to some 500 tierces :
former prices, however, have been fully sustained.
The sales are at prices ranging from 81 to 3! per
hundred of which near 500 tielces brought the
latter figure. The receipts since our last are 1898
tierces.
ROUGH Riee-The receipts of the week COM
prise about $4,000 bushels principally Southern,
brought 90 92c. per bushel, while several car.
goes have been sold at prices not made public.
GrGin-The receipts of Corn during the week
reach $1,000 bushels from North Carolina end
MARYLAND, the whole of which, with the exception
of $500 bushels prime North Carolina, sold to ar
rive on terms not make public, changed hands
within the range of our quotations, viz: IS SOC
per bushel A cargo of $500 bushels rather infe-
rior Virginia Oats sold at price under our lowest
figure, but we would refer to our quotations for a
fair criterion of the market for both Maryland and
Virginia Peas are scarce, and the first arrivals
will probably command 60 a &c. per bushel.-
Several parcels of N orth River Hay have changed
hands during the week at prices ranging from So
to 62!c.; and Eastern from 10 to rs per 100 lbs
! We would refer to our quotations as the market
value for both descriptions,
| MH-Received since cur last 1850 sacks Liv-
erpool, which were sold at 81 ,0S per sack.
| Bac0n.-The transactions iii this article during
the week have been very limited, but our quota.
tons will give fair state of the market, as to pri
ces.
Lard.-The operations in Lard have also been
very light since our last We continue to quote
91c per Ii. in bbls. and kegs.

A Yankee skipper who recently arrived
here from Europe brought with him an En-
glish boy, who knew much less of American
mosquitoes than of pots of ''half and half."-
The captain, being benevolently inclined, ad-
vised him to buy musquito bar, and gave
him dollar to confirm the sincerity of his in
tentions. The recipient Of this kindness, who
had suffered no little in comming up the Mis-
sissippi from the voracity Of these entomolo-
glcal hyenas, proceeded at once to make the
purchase. This being accomplished, he be-
took himself to that repose which he deemed
reasonable after so long a voyage, and not
knowing anything of the nature of mosquito
bar, he wrapped himself within it as man.
tie, like the immortal Julius at the base of
Pompey's statue. Republican musquitoes,
not at all respecting his aristocratic origin, ran
him through with daggers sharper than Cas-
cas-, which made such rents in more histor-
ical integument. Young John Bull-not
"Y Dung England''-stood it for nj ght or two
like the British infantry at Waterloo; but ''the
charge" was too impetuous and unrelenting at
last, and he gave way. Touching his hat to
the captain, he thanked him for the dollar, but
wished he ''might be id if the bar were any
protection"
Louisiana mosquitoes feed fat the ancient
grudge they owe John Bull.-N 0. Pic.

POLITICAL RErELATIoNs-

'''-a . - -" NJ - lssh , lNs't1
The organ Of the Government al Wa.l,
lnglon fayors the world with a glimpse OF
Mr.. Folks message to the next Congress,
as now n embryo. 1t seems from the
revelations tina, Mr.. Polk is to recommend
that
Congress assume the debts Of Texas
and take the lands, or tia,
Congress take the lands IN trust and pay
the debts as far as her lands will 90.
Mr., Danc.son, too, We learn from the
same source, acted IN the promises no
made to Texas upon general instructions,
which The President will carry out so far
rs he can, by urging their fuIhllment upon
Congress,
This proposed assumption Of the debts
Of Texas must open in Congress the as
sumption of the debts Of other States and
It may lead 10 the success of Cos, John
sons proposition for general assumption
Of STATE debts. il IS pretty certain that
q" the democracy" Of Michigan, Illinois,
Indiana, and Mississippi will not readily
agree to pay of the debts of " the democ,
racy Of Texas, unless their is to be some
reciprocity.
It will be urged, however, that the Tex,
as debt IS n peculiar debt, and, indeed,
that there will bo no assumption # tho
United States take her lands to discharge
The debt. But Texas, in this respect, is
not peculiarly situated. Maine has public
lands, so has Tor had Massachusetts both
Of which States, We dare say, would like
10 have the Federal Government take their
lands and pay their debts. Again, tho
new States all own more or less of public
lands, the gift of the United States for
school and public improvement purposes;
how gladly they would give up their lands,
# Congress you'd secure them from in
sovCncles and pay their debts
The democracy Will be little puz-
lied, too, in redeemlng some of Mr.. Dom
elson's other promises, viz: those that
promise the expenditures from the Federal
Treasury for internal improvements in
Texas. The democracy " Of '9s in Nir-
gina, and South Carolina, and all along
that region there, deem such nppropria.
lions unconstitutional :" and "the de-
mocrncy of Northern Ohio, Indiana, and
Illinois, with the " democracy" of Mich
Igan and Wisconsin, demdnd-that rs tho
word, domand-aP appropriations for their
lighthouses, harbors, &c, before Texas
can be supplied. They will be apt to rsa'
son that, if it Is constitutional to clear OUT
the bar OF Galveston it IS more coastItu-
tional st,ll to make a good harbor at Mil
waukio, on tho Maumee, or Sheboygan.
"The democracy however, must set.
tie their own troubles. Texas is pretty
much in the Union, but sugsr.growlng

rivers we are inclined to think il will turn
ont Trojan horse for the Free Trade,
