the year 1647. A half bushel was used as seed, and
planted in Virginia, which yielded sixteen bushels,
which result encouraged future operations The first
shipment was made to England in 1893, which con-
sisted Of about 2l5 casks and since that period the
export demand has continued to increase, until now
when we export almost two-thirds Of crop, which
amounts to about 225 900 tierces Carolina rice

in prices have if anything been in favor Of the year
1851 compared with those Of 1852. These articles
meet with an increasing consumption every year and
their value like other articles is regulated by supply

principally from the island Of Cuba while our do
nestle production, both in Louisiana, Florida, and
Texas, well in the maple forests Of the North,

FISH.
The fishery excitement last summer and autumn,
had the effect of interfering with the catch Of
mackerel, which was much smaller than usual and
the stock in this market on the 3lst of December,
1852, was not over one-fourth what it was in 1851
Hence prices have ruled higher than previously,
have been much larger than usual. Dry cod, on the
contrary, which are taken in our own waters, show
q large increase in stock over the same period in

Effects Of Advertising Charleston
Courier, of recent date, makes the following
sensible remarks in regard to the indication of
a paper we'll filled with mercantile ADVERTISE
ments. And we may be pardoned in saying
that it has much the same effect upon the
judgments and opinions of all men of correct
discrimination, whether they be interested in
the matter or not:
"In looking over our exchanges published in
this State, we were much gratiied to perceive
the very large numbers of advertisements that
appeared in each, not solely because it naturally
pleases us to see those engaged in the same
Iaborous business as ourselves successful, but
because it indicates progressive spirit and
prosperous condition of affairs-inGeed, in our
opinion, there is no truer barometer of the de-
gree of commercial prosperity, to which city,
town, village or district has attained, than the
advertising colums Of their respective papers,"

GJA case involving the question: "What
constitutes common drunkard ?" came before
the Common Pleas Court, Judge Bishop presid-
ing, at Worcester, Mass, last week. The case
was that of man who had appealed from the
judgment of magistrate, by whom he was
convicted and sentenced as common drunkard.
Judge Bishop ruled in the case that common
drunkard is one whose appetite is so depraved,
that he habitually yields to the common tempta-
tions of drunkenness; and that although man
may have been drunk three times in months,
it would not be sufficient TO constitute him
common drunkard, but it would be simply
question of fact for the jury. Upon this ruling,
the defendant was dismissed.

Washington National Monument.

As Elections for Members of Congress, &c,
will be held during the ensuing months in seve-
raj States Of the Union, the Board of Managers
have deemed it their duty to request the Judges
or Commissioners who may be appointed to
take the ballots of the voters, to put up boxes
ut the different localities where elections will
be held, for the purpose of receiving such con-
trbutions as the admirers of the Illustrous
Father of his Country may think proper to
deposit in aid of the great Monument, now in
course of erection in this city to his memory.
They feel assured that when this noble and
patriotic purpose is presented to the people,
they will not hesitate to give their mite for such
an object; and it now becomes more necessary,
as the funds of the society are rapidly diminish
ing and may not soon be adequate to carry on
the work. A small contribution from each
citizen or voter throughout the United States,
would be sufficient to complete the Monument,
work intended to add to their glory as we'll
as to honor the memory of the illustrious dead.
A half dime is but an inconsiderable sum, and
yet half dime contributed by every inhabilant
of our country, would rear the grand structure,
now in progress, TO its destined completion
1t will be ptiful, wondrous ptiful, if out of
twenty-five millions of souls who inhabit this
great country, rendered independent, prosperous
and happy mainly by his exertious and devo>
ton to its cause, the sum necessary to erect
Monument worthy of such man could not be
completed for the want Of the small pecuniary
aid which every American should feel it his
pride, as well as his duty to afford.
AT the last Presidential election, the plan of
obtaining contributions at the Polls, (thus test.
ing the patriotism and liberality of the voters
and others) was attempted, though the preyi-
Gus arrangements were not such as to insure
a very full collection, the result was as satis-
factory as could, under the circumstances, have
been expected.
1t is therefore desirable that this system
should be continued in the different States at
all future elections of a local or general nature;
and the Board of Managers indulge the hope
that on this occasion at the elections to be
held in the respective States of Maine, Vermont,
Massachusetts, New York, Jersey, PennsyIva-
MIA, Delaware, Maryland, South Carolina, Geor~
gia, Mississippi, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Illinois, Louisiana, and Florida, contributions
will be made in aid of the Monument, worthy
of the Countrymen of their illustrious benefac-
tor.
