EAeNuctfgh th fhe price or ITes
 A T the Mobile Ice House the price of Ice is tenn "A porally reduced to half cent pound for al quantities exceeding 10 cents worth.
 The expense of cutting up wIll make 1t needfni tt ask more ior small quantities. For cant piece there will be given six pounds. For ten cent piece twelve pounds h is hoped the friends and custom of this establishment will hasten to realize the benefit of this low price, which il i found cannot be continued through the season.
 Per order, THOMAS McNELLIS,
 mh4 s0IKmo Ice House Keeper. THO THE PUBLIt;.-Havng, in c,nnexIon with 1 the propretors of the other Presses, signed a uniform tariff of charges cotton, in order 10 com- ply with the repeated solicitations of both Factors and Shippers, to relieve them from the perpexity caused by so many different rates, we deem il due to ourselves to assign our reasons for doing.
 The ! arlif differs from the published by us in the early part of the season. in but items of porlance, to wit: Planters Storage and Drayage from our wharves to Press. ln relation to the first item we have adopted the rate universally preferred by the Planters, while were in the country last summer, and with which they expressed themselve 8 entirely satisfied. In relation Io the second we had only agreed to dray from our wharf at cents per bale an inducement tO have cotton landed there. Had Planters complied as rgdy with their promis- es 10 us as we have with our promises to them, there would have been no necessity for change m thls item. As, however, with few exceptions, they have quietly allowed their cotton landed up town, in con- sequence of which we have been compelled lo pay 12k and l5 cents per hale to have it drayed down, and even gel II done at that we feel justified in consentng 10 the 10 cents drayage.
 We, however, had another and stronger motive in view. The ap-town wharfngers for time past have been in the habit of paying all the extra expenses incurred by boats cotton ordered to our wlaryes, but landed then g, in order to get the wharfage of the balance of the cargo, and compel us to do all the long drayage.
 We place ourselves in position tp resist this ar rangement and deprive them of any lnducement to continue it, we consented 10 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 days paper will be found notice to this effect By this we keep faith to the county, and show to the parties blown what they may expect long as they play tho grab game, and seek to deprive down tewn of it's fair share of business.
 We understand that we are accused of having gone into combination by thls arrange nent. In regard to the other Presses cannot answer-for Ives we have only to say it is not true. Aud If any doubts the aei, let him give us an order the other Presses for Colton and he will ascertain whet- CT or not theie exists combination.
 We have no fear that course wi II be censured by any intelligent or liberal minded merchant or planter. GREEN, CASEY & JAMES,
