Major JAMES ALST0N departed this life Sunday
the 18th instant, 3 o'clock, A. M. aged 76 years.
The deceased native of North Carolina,
where he resided till years OF maury He was after
wards TOR some line citizen OF Georgia, and whilst
For many years he had been citizen of Abbeve
and at his decease the Oldest resident of the vii
lage.
He served his country under General jackson, with
the rank of Major, during the campaign of the Semi
mole War; and had the good fortune, both as man
and as soldier, 10 win the esteem and admiration Of
the Hero OF New Orleans.
The deceased was man OF more than ordinary en- :
ergy OF character, OF great perseverance and mness
OF purpose. Those who knew him most intimately,
best appreciated and most admired him A strong and
unaterabe attachment to friends-a scrupuous regard
tor truth candor, sincerity and strict integrty-a love
OF right, and devotion to principle-were prominen
traits ofhs character. He emphaticaly can nom
est man, the nobesl work of Cod
In all the relations OF liie he discharged his duties
with the strictest fidelity. The good and orderly ct-
zen, the humane master, the aectonate husband the
kind lndugent parent, and the warm, firm and devoted
friend In him, the truly unortuna and the oppress-
ed ever found kind protector, and the destitute wild
ow and orphan, liberal beneactor.
He has left bereaved and afflicted widow and an
only daughter to mourn his oss together with large
circle of friends and relatives.
Up to within two DAYS OF his decease he enjoyed his
usual good health and spirits So swift was the des-
royer-so sudden the change-that the family and
nearest friends could scarcely realize that he was ILL
till he was gone! "In the midst of life, we are in

FROM TEXAS.

All the papers speak of the extremely cold weather
which has prevailed of late in all parts of the State.
Heavy rains have lately fallen in the vicinity of
Washington and through the unduating country OF the
Colorado. The Brazos has risen about eight inches, and
the Colorado filled almost to the top OF its banks
few days since.
The Huntsville Presbyterian, of the 18th inst
says:
1t is estimated that not less than four hundred slaves
have been brought into this country and settled among
us within the last eight weeks. This is certainly
than share; cannot be that every section OF
the State has received such accessions to their slave
population; if so indeed draining sister States
of their negroes The only regret we feel in this con-
necton the tact that provisions are so scarce with US
this year. The "hog" crop may do but where is the
hommny" to come from to supply the constantly in
creasng demand? The crop was short one,
and there s little if any for sale among clti-
zens. We shall have TO look to New Orleans for
our breadstufls. Flour is low. Our merchants must
bring in larger quantities Passing the warehouse
ofone of our merchants, a day or two since, we no.
in the before This is WELL Let all our merchants
increase their stocks OF groceries, for the signs OF the
times admons us that they will be reqlired-that the
necessities OF the country will be great.
Wild Cat, the Indian chief who has formed settle
ment in Mexico, has been appointed justice OF the
peace by the Mexican Government. tle recently took
with him from Arkansas number oinegroes and To-
dlaus They to have implements OF husbandry and
certain portion OF land given them on condition that
they cultivate and obey the laws Another object is
the Camanches. The Texas Monument says:
This settlement may yet be matter OF some mpor-
lance to Texas large body OF free negroes and In
dians should be settled near western boundary.
They should be we'll watched by the military stationed
in Texas, and for the first attempt to commit depreda-
tons in State should be severely punished. We
have doubt that scheme is on font increase the
settlement by running slaves from Texas.-PicayHne.

THE MOBH,E DEFAI.CATTON.

The Advertiser, referring to this astounding deve-
opment, remarks:
Probably no event has ever occurred in this commu-
nifty that created sensation painful aud so humiia
ting that recorded above We passed it by in yes
erdays paper unnoticed because had not the heart
to speak fit Nom ever stood higher in public es-
timaon enjoyed to greater extent the confidence
OF his fellow than did he who is now ncarcera-
ted in Jail, charged with offence which if proven,
will consign him to teon's doom. Mr.. Greene is an
elder in the Second Presbyterian Church OF this city,
a member Of the Common Council Of the city gov
eminent, and occupies the highest 1--WE believe) and
most honorable position in the NJ asonic fraternity
of this State and in every station which he has been
called to fill, he has acquitted himself with dis,in-
gsished honor; evncng talents and accomplishments
that commanded not only respect but universal admit
ration
That such man-one so useful so accomplished
and so beloved-should be betrayed into the commits
sion OF a crime so heinous as that charged Mr..
Greene, is too Notwithstanding to contemplate-al-
too Incredible Tor belief Yet we are compelled
to say from all the information can obtain, that we
fear it is but true 1t appears that the most stu
pendous frauds have been deliberately pepetrated and
embezzlement made OF money and means of the ins-
tuition to the amount otsome eighty thousand doIlarl-
perhaps more 1t is impossible yet to ascertain the
precise amount. The Board of Directors of the Com
pany are diligently engaged in the investigation,
and cont nue to make appalling discoveries. In the
meantime the Company-which has heretofore stood
in high credit-has entirely ceased business is call
ing in its policies and returning thea premiums. A
meeting OF the STOCKHOLDERS Is called fOr Monday even
ing to take the whole matter into consideration and
decide on ts future course.
No time has yet been set Tor the examination of Mr..
Greene. In tho meantime he remains in the county
Jail.
We learn from the Mobile Register, that Mr. S. w,
Cochran, Exchange Broker OF Mobile, has also been
arrested charge of being concerned in the embez-
Elements of Greene, and held to bail in the sum of
$4,000. Mr. G. publishes card to the public declar-
ing his innocence, and his ability make it apparent
that all his transactions with g. were purely business,

Sarah Fortune had the misfortune TO incur the dis
pleasure of her husband Tuesday night; upon his at
tempting to chastise her, she screamed for the watch
who fortunately in the neighborhood Of Foushee
and 18th Streets where this fortunate couple live Upon
entering the house and learning the particulars of the
unfortunate difficulty they arrested Sarah Fortune and
took her to the cage. The Mayor yesterday nvestiga

the woman was wholly blaneable, and that she be ia

nate link which bound her to the fortunes of Fortune.

A couple OF free negresses, residing i'll Adams Valley
got into difficulty Monday, which they undertook to
settle by resort to the last argument The nails and
teeth OF one ohe parties proving keen and strong
tor the other, the contest speedily terminated in favor
OF the ylrago possessed with these desirable appendix
ges. But the discounted party concluded it would
never do let it remain so;" so she procured peace
warrant for the of the victor. Yesterday both

COMMERCIAL RECORD.
TOBACCO.


We furnish Tobacco statistics at this time hoping
they may prove beneficial and interesting 10 many of
your subscribers. In examining our estimates, it will
be perceived that it is our belief the present stock and
supplies Tor the eleven months, will be barely
sufficient to- supply the usual legitimate Demands
Consequently, we confidently anticipate the maintain
ance of high prices for gear at least 10 the mar
kets of Virginia, and reduction in the value of Vir-
ginia Tobacco in the markets of Europe till the Au-
tunn of 1S52-because, in the Foreign markets the
stock of Virginia Tobacco must gradually diminish,
till the product in Virginia and North Carolina be
large enough to yield surplus of IS TO 49, 600 hhds
for export abroad. The production to supply the ma
nuacturing and foreign wants, should be 45 to Geo
hhds. The demand at home and abroad, requires a.
crop that extent but any material increase in the
growth has the effect OF deprecating the value of
~ grade. The correctness OF this assertion is well
known to gro,oers, manufacturers and exporters.
1t should surely then be desirable to all interested
that sudden fluctuations in the value of Tobacco
should not occur, and to obviate which, we most re-
specially suggest to the producers in North Carolina
and Virginia not to aim at an extra large crop the
present gear. as past experience ought TO admonish
them that very large crops will not command as much
money has usually been realized on crops not ex-
ceeding 900 hhds.; and may be the experience of
every practical grower of Tobacco that an effort t.
crap generally results in defective quality Good
soil good culture, and vigiant wormng, are indspen-
sable insure good and fine qualities, when seasons
are propitious.
With such hints, the following report is submitted.
