NEW ORLEANS COTTON MARKET
CRESCENT OFFICE,

CRESCENT OFFICE, /
 Saturday Morning, September II, 1852. {
 COTTON-The improved appearance of the Cotton market, noticed in our last weekly
 review, continued on Saturday, when buyers
 came forward freely, and took 17OO bales at full, though somewhat irregular prices. On
 Monday the demand was still active and though
 factors generally put up their rates 5a4c, they succeeded in getting off nearly 1900 bales.- These transactions took the most desirable lists from the market, and on Tuesday, though the demand was still good, the sales were limited to i 400 hundred bales, the closing rates exhibited a further improvement, particularly for the Mid- ding qualities. Factors tables were better sup l piled on Wednesday, and although their pre- tensions were still more stringent, the days lsales embraced 2l00 bales, leaving but few lots in the market. On Thursday the demand was moderate, and with quite limited supply, the sales reached barely 1000 bales and yesterday only 900 bales were taken, making the total business of the week 5000 bales, by far the lar Igest of the season, and exceeding the business off any week since the middle of June last The receipts at this port since the 1st instant have been l7,l47 bales against 9637 to the same date last year, showing an increase of 74lOl bales. The receipts of the week are 12.206l bales, against 80S0 for the corresponding week last year. We advance our quotations as fol- lows, though yesterdays rates were quite irreg- ular, and at the close 1t would have been diff 1 cult to find buyers at our outside figures

MnK.--It is common to regard milk as little else than mere drink. But real good milk is really an article of solid food, being coagulated soor after reaching the stomach. New milk contains 13 per cent of digestble solids and skinned milk ten per cent; that is, the former fully one half, and the latter above a third, of the nutriment contained in the lean part of mutton and beef.

The great objection which the Democrat. h' papers have urged against Gen.

U7 On Saturday last, a gentleman oi
 Alabama, arrived in this city from BaIti
 more, having with him negro, who hac run away from his plantation some time Isince, and whom he had recovered under the following singular circumstances Standing one morning recently in front ot the hotel at which he was soiourning al Baltimore, he was accoSted by half-star- ved and ptable looking negro, whom he presently recognized as the fugitive from his esafed mai ne Rad IbtteeHH HH ffe5Idfng f Canada, land after suffering innumerable hardships he determined 10 retrace his steps and return to the home he had quilted so abruptly, land had got so far xhen providen- tially he found his master, and now en- treated him to take him back with him. The Warm-hearted planter at once consent ed, fed and clothed him, and the negro passed through this city with as contented and happy mortal as any on earth.
 He has learned a lesson he will never for get, and affords practical commentary on the insanity of those who would interfere with a condition of things, the practical working of which is perfectly unknown to them.--Charleston Courier

U7 MT. Upton, of Louisiana, one of the
 delegates and one of the Secretaries of the
 National Whig Convention, called on Gen. IScott; and in letter 10 the New Orlean:
 Bee, he says:
 Gen. Scott most unreservedly gave tC
 me his views upon all the leading topics O the day, and said he had nothing to conceal most particularly upon the Compromise acts, including the Fugitive Slave Iaw-and his position was then, as now, a position that must be satisfactory to every Southern man, Speaking of the Fugitive Slave law Gen. Scott used this language:
 "If ever, as Gen. Scott, at the head of |" the armies of the United States, as plain |" MT. Scott, deprived of my commission, or " as President Scott, if it should please the |" people 10 el levate me 10 that high station, "if ever do anything calculated to impair /" the efficacy of the Fugitive Slave law, of 7" having a tendency towards it's repeal, then !" write infamous before my name, write l" infamous after my name, and kick me " into the gutter"
 The language was so emphatic, so strong, and made such an impression upon me, that l quote, think, Gen. Scott's very words.

THE FLORIDA INDIANS.

We regret to learn that some citizens Of Florida
have recently committed unproyoked hostilities on
the Indians of that State. 1t is reported that a
company of volunteers raised by order OF Governor
Brown, under the command of Mr.. Jernigan, took
several prisoners, two Of whom escaped and two, a
child and an old woman, are still detained 1t is
apprehended that the Indians will retaate.
Thus has the faith of the Government, pledged
to these unfortunate people, been violated and all
its efforts (Which for several years have been entirely
successfully to preserve peace with them been frus-
trated by the rashness of few individuals, acting
not only without but in defiance Of the authority Of
the Government
This circumstance is the more to be regretted as
it is understood the Government was about taking
measures to endeavor to induce these Indians to mi
CRATE to the west of the Mississippi
