New Orleans Market.
From the ". o. Bulletin.

Saturday Morning, Feb. Is.
 CoTToN.....The sales during the early part of the week, were stated at ,5O0 bales, subsequently, to which we heard of some further transactions, swelling the amount to l3,OO0 bales, since which the market has been generally heavy, with an increased disposition apparent on the part of factors to realize, particular y for the mddling and lower grades, and a continued downward tendency in prices, resulting in a further de- cline in those descriptions. The sales com prise $500 bales on Wednesday, 5000 on Thursday, and TOGO yesterday, making an aggregate for the three days of l3,5OO, for the week of 26,500, or 55l4 less than the arrivals during the same period.
 The receipts proper since the lst Sept, exclusive of those from Mobile and from the Gulf ports, amount to 624, 4,796 bales, against 553,397 during the corresponding period last season, showing an increase of Fl ,399 bales. The receipts at all the ports now show an increase of 70,244 bales.
 We again reduce our quotations, as fol- lows.

OH1o-THE LAND OF BREAD-The quan- tity of wheat which Ohio raised in 1850 is set down by the Cincinnati Gazette, at thirty millions of bushes-an amount suffi- cient to supply not only all the wants of the State, but leaving surplus of eighteen millions of bushels. The consumption ol each individual is about six bushels annually Ohio has about two millions of inhabitants consequently twelve millions of bushels are enough for the consumption of the State. Allowing the price of seventy-fve cents per bushel. and the overplus is worth over thirteen million of dollars. In addi ton to this, the corn raised is equal to one hundred bushels to each person in the State The surplus of the two articles is equal r value 10 twenty-five millions of dollars This shows what an agricultural State, witt fertile iand, can do, when its labor is no diverted into improbable channels, or in terfercd with by bad government.

Mr. Corwin's Treasury Report. English
 Criticisms.

It has not fallen to MT. Corwin's lot tc attain such popularity in England as was awarded to one of his predecessors, MT Robert J. Walker. The views of the latter gentleman on the subject of tariffs and pro- lection were warmly commended by British journals and statesmen; nay, his Treasury Report, containing an elaborate defence o open ports and free importations, was re- published in London by order of one of the Houses of Parliament. Nothing, indeed could be more in accordance with British views than a policy on our part which would make this country one vast marke for British goods to be paid for by supplies of raw material, and by the trainings o our mines.
 MT. Corwin's report adopts these princi pies of protection 10 home industry which let maj jorities in Congress vary as they may are really and truly cherished, we sincerely believe, by the great mass of the American people. There have been deIusions on this subject-artifces and deceptions-to pre- vent a fair and full understanding among the people of the issue involved in the truly American policy of protection. MT. Folks election to the Presidency was signalzed by trick of this kind. Party machnations have sought, and with too much success, to make this policy bear the brunt of repeated sacrifices. But it will vindicate itself in the end; nor is the time far distant when, if statesmanlike foresight on this subject shall continue to be disregarded, the necessity of an efficient system of protection will be demonstrated by series of disastrous e. vulsions. impossible that things should go on in their present course much longer without involving a reaction as severe and startling as the imprudence that was its forerunner was precipitate and blind

No man who has occupied the Presiden- tial Chair for the last twenty years entitled hmselfto more credit than has MT. Fillmore. Though true and genuine Whig, he has proved himself the President of the country and the aoho1e country-not only in fact, but in spirit and feeling. This is the sentimen' of the People of North Carolina, whatever may be the opinion (pretended, not rea|ly entertaned) of the demagogues and editors who are endeavoring to prejudice and break down his administration. They cannot accomplish this object if the Wings of the State will rally, as they should do, around him. So conservative, so candid, firm, and patriotic has been his administration, that it behooves all true Wings to arouse them selves to acton, and second with zealous hearts his efforts to enforce the execution of the Fugitive Slave Law, and preserve the Union against all fanatics! Let us do it. Justice, gratitude, and patriotism all demand that it should be done.

"THE NATIONAL PARTY" to be surel- The Ohio Statesmen, one of the leading democratic papers in that State, in an arti- cle upon the enormity of the fugitive slave law, thus speaks of the democratic members of Congress elected from that State:
 "Every Member Of Congress elected by the Democrats of Ohio will vote 10 repea this Fugitive law"
Southern shield., 1851-02-22

MORE DEMOCRATIC cHARMoNY--TheP PhiIa del pha Spirit of the Times, a leading organ of the Keystone State Democracy, in a long article rejoicing over the election of Sena tor Broadhead, has the following mild and amiable paragraph:
 "Mr. Buchanan is defeated, and we may thank God for it. The State is well rid o! him, and the vermin who were warmed into life by the sun of his patronage, have crawled back from Harrisburg to their hid ing places, to bespatter their betters with their vicious islanders, until they are trans ferred either to the Pententiary or the Alms-house."

MEASUREMENT CoRREcTED.-A writer in the Charleston Mercury, in his eagerness to get up feeling of hostility to the Union attacks the Fugitive Slave Law as afording the South no protection. In order to illus trate this opinion, he states that he had just heard of case in which gentleman from Culpepper county, Va, had got possession of his s ayes in Pennsylvania, and was then waylaid at night, the slaves rescued, and he turned out of the village to sleep in the fields. The truth is, no such case ever occurred in our State, while there are a number that amply attest the fidelity with which the law referred to has been executed and it's provisions submitted to by the people generally.

UTAH-A letter from the Salt Lake, written Sepfenn her 0Ath, oayo.
 "The Indian war has commenced in goe 1 earnest On the night of the 2lst the h. dians made an attack upon the north settle ment, and did considerable mischief, burning houses and stacks of grain, and killing and driving off stock. On the first alarm the inhabitants assembled at Captain Browns Fort, fortified themselves as strongly as possible, and sent to the city for assistance. Gen. 'Elbridge, with two hundred cavalry. and Capt. McBride's light artillery, were instantly dispatched to their relief. Word has been received that upon their approach the main body of the Indians fled to the north, and that Gen. Elbridge, leaving a small detachment to protect the inhabitants and guard few Indians that he had picked up, pushed on in pursuit A scouting party came in yesterday morning, and reported that a party of Indians had collected al Weber river canon, and Capt. Green, with company of mounted volunteers, com. posed principally of 'Gentiles,' as the Saints call us outsiders, started out to dislodge them. At our approach they fired a few guns, and then fled up the mountains. We succeeded, however, in getting thirty-fve of them, which exceeded our whole number Yorrakee, principal snake chief, was killed One white man was killed, by the name o ! Campbell"

The London News referrino to the fort

The London News, referring to the forth coming Census of the United States says: Startling as the results have heretofore been, they are destined to be cast complete ly into the shade by those about to be dis closed by the present census, which will exhibit an instance of material and industri- al development unparalleled in the annals of nations"

We believe that public sentiment in the South (out of South Carolina is rapidly settling down upon opposition to Disumion in all its shapes and phases, and acquiesces in the COMPROMISE. This feeling is not con- fined 10 those who were in favor of the compromise measures as original proposi- tons, but is extending among those who, oHecting to these measures at first, and not satisfied at any time that they were such as should have been passed, yet regard the SETTLEMENT as proper 10 be adhered to as a SETTLEMENT.
 It ltappears 10 us that this is rational and fair conclusion at which to arrive. The safety and union of the States >is the first and great consideration. However men may have differed heretofore, the time for further arrangement has passed by. It is all important for the South to present a united front, because, if we are divided among ourselves, it will invite aggression, or, at least, encourage agitation. If we join hands upon some solid platform, we cannot be moved from our position. And it seems to us that the only and the best stand we can take, is the support of the COMPROMISE.
 The ultras at the North will be met and resisted on this question by the union men there. We should give the patriots our support and countenance.-Aler. Gazette

COMMON SENSE FROM QUEER GUAR TER.-The Mssissippian Gen Quitman's special organ) thus comments on some re- marks Of the Richmond (Va,) Enquirer

Macon (Ga.) Messenger & Journal, can fail to be impressed with the remarkable sympathy which has recently been displayed between the disunion prints of the South and the Abolition presses of the North. The South ern Press is little more than reprint of the Boston Chronotype; and the fre-eatng organs of Carolina and Georgia quote most extensively from the same source. How is this? Why this coincidence of feeling? Why this manifestation of common sympathy? Is it not because they both hate the Union and are striving together for it's destruction? Is it not apparant that they understand each other, and that they are cooperating to produce the same dreadful results? It is true they are using different means for the accomplishment of their purposes; but the end will be the same-dsunion, civil war, and intestine strife, and the final overthrow of Republicanism in the New World.
