AUGUSTA YARys.-Wc noticed Il few days
aro 4 large number of bales of yarn being
conveyed by drays to the steamer Metcait, to
be shipped to New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore, via Savannah. We understand
that there were about 400 bales in the lot,
manufactured by the mills OH the canal, near
this city, and intended for the Northern mar
kets. This fact speaks volumes i'll favor Of
the expedicncy and pecuniary profit of South

establishments will not only supply the home
demand for yarns and other cotton fabrics,

Northern articles. The high price Of cotton

1t is evident before our eyes, that she, like

Recently many have seen the correct views
of the noble CAlsouS in refusing to vote for
the prosecuting of war against Mexico. The
United States like ancient Rome, are using

To enlarge their borders the States are all

the last action in Congress gave the alarming
views of our distressed condition, and We
think that the last territory has been fought
for, that ever will be fought for by a joint
Union. But the mischief is, they will keep
in Congress sufficient number to ovcrpowcr

Decline in Cotton.


the following solution Of the causes which
have induced the decline in Cotton, from
foreign journal:
. As the advices per Canada from Liverpool
of 18th january, are so contrary TO the gen
eral anticpations on this side. it is interesting
to ascertain the cause Of the disappointment
The circulars received attribute it TO several
causes, some to the fact that splnncrS having
bought freely ut the close of December, are
now working their imported Cottons, and
ncrlcctine the Liverpool market, in order to
depress prices and buy largely on this side at
reduced limits, others to the apprehension en-
tertained that the Bank OF England will again
advance her rate of discount, but the malorl,,
ty to the increased estimates OF crop advised
by Africa, January lst.
The receipts at ill the ports at .hc date OF
her departure were 10000 bales less than at
the corresponding period last season, and cs-
Inmates were published and advised of 2,SOO,-
600 to 2,4oO,OO0 bales, which may easily be
imarined found ready believers in Mancester
and the increased receipts, (the deficiency
having been cut down from $4,000 TO $1,000
bales in one weck) weakened the confidence
even of those who were disposed to credlt
moderate estimates. This latter then, name
". the convenient change OF opinion In re-
card to the extent OF the crop, we believe TO
have been the cause of the decline.
Looking forward, therefore, to later advices
from Liverpool, what have we to anticipate
but declining prices responding to heavy re-
ccipts Mt the ports weekly, sweeping Oft the
entire deficit, and showing rs ut the present
moment. an excess of 10000 bales, and dcs-
tined to show a still heavier one, when the
statement is made up commencing lst Fcbru'
nrv. Mt New-Orleans when the excess ut that
datc was $1,000 bales. Moderate estimates
