 Per order, THOMAS McNELLIS,
 mh4 S0n Kmo Ice House Keeper. TENO THE PUBLIC.-Having, in c,nnexlon with 1 the proprietors of the other Presses, signed uniform tariff of charges cotton in order 10 com ply with the repeated solicitations of both Factors and Shippers, to relieve them from the perplexity caused by many different rates we deem it due 10 ourselves to assign our reasons for so doing.
 Tue 1arf differs from the published by us in the early part of the season, in but two items oi im- porance. to wit: Planters Storage and Drayage from wharves to Press. In nrelaton to the first
 em we have adopted the rate universally preferred by the Planters, while we were in the country last summer, and with which they expressed themselve entirely satisfied. In relation to the second we had only agreed 10 dray from wharf at cents per bale as an inducement to have cotton hnded there. Had Planters complied rigidly with their promls- es to we have with our promises 10 them, there would have heen necessity for a change m ihls
 item. As, however, with few exceptions, they have quietly allowed their cotton landed up town, in con sequence of which we have been compelled to pay l24 and l5 cents per bale to have it drayed down, and cannot get II done al that, we feel justified in consentng lo the 10 cents drayage.
 We, however, had another and stronger motive in view. The up.own wharfngers for some time past have been in the habit of payng all the extra expenses incurred by boats cotton ordered to our wharves, but landed theii x, in order to get the wharfage of the balance of the cargo, aud compel US to do all the long drayage.
 We place ourselves in position to resist this engagement and deprive them of any lnducement to continue it, we consented to put up drayage. know ing that the aggregate charge could be made the same to the planter, by taking of the wharfage, with which the other presses had nothing to do, and in to- days paper will be found notice to his effect By this we keep faith to the country, and show to the parties up town what they may expect long they play the grab game, and seek to deprive down town of its fair share of business.
 We understand that we accused of having gone into a combination by thIs arrangement. In regard to the other Presses cannot answer-or purse Ives we have only to say it is not true. And If any one doubts the fact, let him give order on the other Presses for Cotton, and he vii! ascertain wheh CT not there exists combination.
 We have no lear that our course will be censured by any intelligent or liberal minded merchant or planter. GREEN, CASEY & JAMES,
