Columbia Market.

MARCH 10.
Cotton-In reviewing the cotton market for tue
past week we have but few remarks to make
The demand throughout the whole of the week
has been quiet but steady at former quotations,
viz: ll1@1l3i cents. On Wednesday The news
from Liverpool by the America to the 2Sth ultimo
came to hand reporting decline of llG,l. on last
quotations, with sales for the week of H. 600 bales,
spectators and exporters taking 900, and leav-
ing stock on hand of 339, 900 bales, of which
234, 900 are American. These accounts had little
if any effect on our market, and the demand, up
to the close of business on Saturday evening, was
firm at our former quotations viz: Inferior III
@l11; ordinary l1iM12.; middling III Ia l2a !;
good mddlug II IA Il and fair to choice l3s Gg
l3l cents. Tho sales Of the week comprise about
500 bales.
BdcoH-The stock of bacon on sale is fully
adequate to the demand, and therefore we have
no quotable change to notice in prices, consequent
" we continue to quote old shoulders 9iGGl0;
clear sides ll@ll4; new hog round 1lW IL, ac-
cording to the quality of the article.
Corn.-The demand for this article is good, and
prices are looking up We now quote 95c. .MSl
+ bushcl.
Oais.-Thcrc is only q limitrl demand for oats,
AMI prices are nominal at G5GtGS cents T. bushel.
Pc0$ The demand for peas : good, and as
the stock the market is light prices are full and
firm at 90@,95 cents l. bushel.
f3onr.-There is a full supply Of -four on the
market and therefore prices are rather fiat. We
quote S1rlS7i for common to good brands, SUI
perine 81, anl extra family flour SS@GSSi t
bhl.
Fodder.--Thcre is good demand for fodder,
and all offering freely commands S1!@S14 T.

condition for the faithful performance Of the ma
sons work, and the furnishing of good materials
for the same, for the building of the New State
Capitol, which was condemned and demolished, in
consequence of incurable defects in both con-
Struction and material. The defendant files q
discount Of $4,000 and claims large balance in
his favor. The case is conducted for the State by
Simeon Fair, Esq State Solicitor for the Middle
Circuit, md by John Bauskett and Edmund Bel
lnger, Esqrs., for the defendant. 1t is worthy
of remark that the State which has certainly
pulled down wall, nay four walls, and subvertcd
foundation in this case, is represented by one
(Simcon) who, Scripture tells US "in his sef-will,
dicged down WALL" but who will doubtless not
withs prove fair adversary to both the
iron sided Edmund and the well stored Bausket,
opposed to him.

rEnR1BLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

The regular passenger train between Toronto
and Hamilton, Canada, on the Great Western Rail
road, ran off the track at bridge near Hamilton
on the 18th instant, and caused terrible loss OF
life. Two first class coaches were precipitated
from the bridge into the water below, distance
of forty feet. The scene which followed is indes-
cribable Sixty-eight persons perished instantly
in the fearful crush Among the killed are Sam
uel Zimmerman, Esq, the great banker; Mr..
Street. the eminent millionaire of Niagara Falls,
with his sister and mother-in-law Thomas c.
Kacklin is also reported among the killed. Only
fifteen passengers escaped from the wreck alive ;
FIVE of whom have since died. Several Ameri-

THE FLORIDA CAMPAIGN.

A Key West correspondent of the Charleston
STANDARD, in letter dated the 10th, furnishes the
following paragraph in relation to the progress of
Gen. HARxEY's operations in Florida
The U. S. steamship Fashion, Capt Smith, ar
rived the morning of the 9th from Fort Dallas
By her we learn that two companies Z. S. Artil-
lery had arrived few days previous from Fort
Myers, on the west coast in half starving Con-
dition. The everglades were dry and could not
be crossed. The troops followed the beach and
saw no Indians. Thus far little has been accom-
plished towards the removal of the remainder, as
far as we can judge at this distance from the seat
of war. The lowness of water in the everglades
has prevented any canoe expedition from ap-
preaching the Indian villages situated upon the
islands and the Indians have been able to keep
beyond the reach of the troops. Until the heavy
rains set n nothing Of consequence can be done
Gen. Harney has disposed of his forces i'll such a
manner as to be able to take advantage of the first
rise of the water, when we may expect to hear
favorable accounts from the gallant troops under
his command.

DIED, at IIoylesville. Castor County, n. c., on
the 18th ult., ANDREW HOYLE, Esq in the
S7lh year of his age.
Few men in any community have been more
highly esteemed or gone down to the grave more
vencratcd by his feow.citizenS, than the subject
Of this notice. He was distinguished through life
for those sterling virtues and remarkable traits of
character which give just claim to the confidence
and affection of society.
In early life his opportunities of education were
extremely limited and yet his thirst for knowledge
prompted him to educate himself, and to acquire
a large amount of information of the most impor-
tant kind. Commencing the world entirely poor,
his 'mntiring energy and judcions management,
led to the accumulation Of large fortune. This
too was acquired by n fair aVd honest means,
without injustice or oppression to others. Perhaps
no honest man. ever doubted his word or suspect
ed his integrity. His ardent and generous nffec-
tons led him to deep and disntercsted concern
for the welfare of his country. The rights OF
others he regarded with uniform justice. The
wants of the poor he relieved with the most ex-
emplary benevolence
In the Family Circle he was all that could be
expected from an intelligent, generous and amia-
Bile man.
But he was far from believing that his work was
done, when he had served himself, his family and
his country. His highest excellence, was his
Christian character. The evidence of his Piety
was not found in noisy pretensons but in the hum
BILE and conscientious performance of good works.
He was for many years q Ruling Elder in the
Presbyterian Church, and few men indeed are
found to seek its welfare with more zeal and self
denial. His time and influence and property were
cheerfully given to its prosperity.
The Presbyterian Church in Dallas was built
chiefly by himself, and many other Churches shar-
ed with his liberal contributions.
A life thus adorned by Christian virtues, was
closed, under the sustaining and animating hope
Of glorious immortality. "Mark the perfect
man, and behold the upright; for the end of that
man is peace" ."-CharloHe Democrat.

REPuRIICANISoI

Mr. Yeadon, of the Courier, was one of the
counsel for the Plaintiff in the case of DR.. Gibbes
Us the City Council of Columbia; and during his
stay in the metropolis furnished to the Courier his
usual quantum of mixed-up correspondence. Of
course every paragraph is spicy and decidedyread-
cribing, inter ala, one of the thousand incidents
of everyday occurrence-commentaries upon the
most striking characteristic of this Republican
system Of ours -
On entering the Court House, was induced
confidently to expect that the Coart would soon
plunge into the case of r. W. Gibbes VS.. +. J..
Arthur and John Burdell, for assault and battery.
with damages laid at $1,000, in which | had
come to take n hand; but my budding hopes were
soon npped and withered by the killing frost of
disappointment. A short case was first taken up,
that of John Knsler vs.. The Town Council of
Columbia, for some ten thousand of brick. On
the part of the Plaintiff was that grave, Staid and
eminent lawyer, Edmund Belinger, Esq, and, on
the other side, was H. Walker Adams, Esq, a
young advocate, the son of Ex-Governor Adams.
Bya curious coincidence, Ex-Governor Adams
was the foreman Of the jury-yes, as striking
illustration of the working Of our republican in
stitutions he, who was but yesterday the foremost
man Of the State, was now but foreman of the
jury-and he had the signal virtue to render a
verdict, exceeding five hundred dollars, against
the Town Council, in spite of clever and ingeni-
Gus maiden speech from his own young and pro-
missing scion, coming down on the defendant like
thousand of brick. The only principle iuvolv-
ed and decided in the was, that the plaintiff,
who was brick maker, but not eithcra mechanic
or handi-craftsman, had wright to prove his case
by book entry. On the close of this case, my
senior, associate and myself stood really to launch
ing case of great magnitude, in both principle and
amount, Unexpectedly came off, and, during; its
progress onr shallop remains the stocks. The
case here referred to is that Of the State VS..
Charles McCullocb, in which the State sues the
defendant on bond in the penalty Of S45, ZOO,

WHO WRITE THE NEGRO SoNGs?-The principal
writer of our national music is said to be Stephen
c. Foster, the auther of "Uncle Ned go Susan
nah," &C. Mr.. Foster resides near Pittsburg,
where he occupies q moderate cerkship, upon
which, and per centage on the sale of his songs,
he depends for living. He writes the poetry as
well as the music of his songs. These are sung
wherever the English language is spoken, while
the music is heard wherever men sing. In the
cotton fields of the South, among the mines OF
California and Australia, in the seacoast cities OF
China, in Paris, in the London prison-every
where, in fact, his melodies are heard. "Uncle
Ned" was the first. This was published in lo4o'
and reached sale unknown till the music pub
fishing business OF 1.-THE Old Folks at Home"
100000 copies have been sold in this country, and
as many more in England. "My Kentucky Home
and .'Old Dog Tray" each had sale of about 1O,-
900. All his other songs had great run. All
his compositions are simple, but they are natural,
and find their way to the popular heart and link
themselves indissolubly with its best associations

A SINGULAR CAsE-SUpPosED TRANcE.-On
Friday last, a young lady, named Williams, died
suddenly of disease of the heart in Cincinnati,
but on Sunday, when every arrangement had been
made for her funeral-when the carriages and
hearse had arrived and friends assembled, re-
lative, on approaching the body for the pur-
pose of taking last farewell of the departed no
ticed very perceptble flush come over the
countenance of the dead and on placing his
hand over the region of the heart, he was sur
prised to find it yet quite warm, Notwithstanding
the factor supposed fact-that death had oc-
Cured three days previous. A number of medi-
col men were Mt once summoned, who, after a
consultation, advised postponement of the fu-
neral, and the hearse and carriages were dismiss
ed Since that time the body has not at oil
changed in appearance. The countenance con-
tinues flushed, and there is considerable warmth
perceptible in the region of the heart Mean
time the family and friends are in the greatest
doubt and perplexity, amid conflicting opinions
as to the nature of the case. Some, who have
visited the body, are confident that death has
actually taken place, while others maintain that
the young lady lies in trance. Hundreds OF
prople have visited the house daily, drawn there
by the singularity of the case.-Cin. Eng.
