THE UNITED STATES INVITED TO BECOME ONE OF
THE s'PowERs,"-The Journal des Debats, Of De-
cember %, reviews at great length the last annu-
al message of President Pierce, and takes occasion
to examine our political situation. The Journal
says in conclusion:
1t would be advantageous for all the world that
the American Union the influence of which upon
the defnitiye decisions of the European Cabinets
is not TO be contested, should enter in an official
and ayowed manner into the concert of the great
Powers, as it is great Christian Power, whose af-
fairs cannot be separated any longer from those of
Europe. 1t possesses, virtually at least the con-
Gition of possessing great military means by land
and sea. 1t has certainly distinct interests but
all the great Powers are in the same condition.
The government which has not special interests
well determined, with the material means to have
them respected, would by that fact alone be sat-
elite But the American Union has great inte-
rests iu common with US. The day when it would
be officially recognized in the Congress of the
Powers, the peace of the world would have ac-
quired another precious guarantee, and would be
sheltered from many accidents. For the Amer-
cans also it would be wonderful benefit If until
now they have remained outside Of the political
meetings held from time to time by the govern
ments of the civilized States tits for reasons which
have ceased to exist. The United States were for
mcrly feeble, without external action, and Mt
great distance. Now they are strong, their exter-
nal action is more and more apparent, and by the
increased facilities of communication they are but
a few days distant from us. For themselves, their
insular position, which may seem engaging at first,
is really full of nconvcnienccs which, at certain
moment, might become perilous.

Columbia Market.

JANUARY ~.
Couoa.-At the date Of our last weekly report
it will be recollccted VIC left the cotton market
brisk and active, consequent upon the adyices
brought over from Liverpool by the America to
the 9th ult. During the three FIRST days of the
week just brought to close there was no materi-
al or quotable change In prices, although the mar
ket was somewhat feeble, and showed some symp-
toms Of q decline; but ON Thursday, Friday and
Saturday the demand fell off, and consequently
the market became fat, at decline of iG}&c. on
our former quotations, 12i being the ruling rate
for fair cotton: The sales of the week foot up
1856 bales, and we now quote: Inferior 10I a.
10y; ordinary 105@11, middling ll9@ll5; and
fair 12@l2}c.
Bdcon.-Thcre has been but little change in the
bacon market during the past week, and we there
fore continue to quote SIGy9 for shoulders sides
10@10a; and hams 1lGel2c = III. New bacon
is coming in freely and the demand for it is brisk,
at 12@12Ic.
Corn.-The article of corn is rather scarce, and
prices ere looking up. We now quote S7@sSlc.
u bushel
Oats-There is fair demand for good seed
oats, and prices are q shade higher. We quote
60@65c. p bushel.
Peas.-The demand for peas is good and the
stock light, consequently prices are shade high
d.. er. We quote 70G75c. = bushel.
Flow.-There is only moderate stock of -four

are looking up. We now quote S7lMS7! for

The Starkville (Miss.) Advocate, contains the
particulars of the horrible murder of Robt. Burns
proprietor of the Cottage Hotel in that place, by
Dr. ". D: Stoyall, with whom he had had fight
the day before. It says:
Going near Burns stable, Dr. S. stopped the
buggy, and walked within about twenty five PAGES
of Burns, who was engaged in harnessng horse,
he beckoned to negro who was standing near, to
get out of the way, at the same moment raising
the gun and. firing. At the instant of his firing
Burns looked around and received the contents Of
the gun full in his face. He raised his hands to
his eyes and sunk to the earth, exclamihg ''my
God ]" Upon this, Stovall advanced within ten
PAGES and fred the second time, the whole charge
taking effect in his back, and Burns then cried
out, az i'm dead man." Still not satisfied, Sto-
vail cody approached him and drawing pistol
put it close to his head and fired again, bursting
his eye-bal from its socket then putting the pis-
toll to his breast, he fred fourth time into the
body;of the already dead man. Mrs. Burns and
her children rushed from the house screaming,
while DIR. stovall coolly walked off, got into his
buggy, and drove away.
