Columbia Market.

Columbia Market.
FEBRUARY 90.
-Cotton.-It will be recolected that our last
weekly report of the cotton market closed on a
fair and steady demand for the article, at l0a for
Inferior to 12s for fair. During the whole of the
week just brought to close, the market has been
under good degree Of excitement, and prices
have rose up + to on our last quotations. There
has been fair supply on sale, and as the demand
was good every bale that was offered was freely
taken at full prices. The sales Of the week foot
up 1850 bales, and we now quote; Inferior 1lCG'
lii; ordinary 1l8@lla; middling II @ l2f;
good middling 12s @ 12s; fair l22 @l2B; and
choice 13 cents.
Bacon.-We have no material or quotable
change to notice in the bacon market since our last
report, and we therefore continue to quote for
prime old shoulders 6; clear sides ii Gill; new
hog round II o. III cents per pound.
Corn-The demand for corn is fair, and as
there is only moderate supply on sale, prices are
full at 90 cents per bushel. -.
Oats.-There is no change in the price of oats
and consequently we continue to quote % COOS
cents per bushel.
Peas.-There is moderate stock OF peas on
sale, and as the demand is moderate also, prices
are steady, at 5000 cents per bushel.
Wour.-The -four market has been quiet but
steady during the whole of the past week, and VIC
therefore continue to quote S73@$72 for common
to good brands; superfne So; and extra family
-four Ss4 per barrel.
Fodder.-The fodder market has been quiet but
steady during the whole of the past week, and in
prices there have been no quotable change, conse-
auently we continue to quote S1l@SlS, accord
ing to the quality Of the article.

lief of careful observers that We are surrounded
with difficulties, both in our domestic and foreign
relations. The present administration has con-
essedly failed to settle our difficulties with Great
Britain in regard to the Central American ques-
ton. The Dallas treaty, we are assured, cann"t
command a dozen votes in the Senate; ami the
Committee on Foreign Affairs. to which it has been
recommittcd, have no hope of rendering it accep-
table ny any modification, which would not render
it odous t6 the Pamerston government. No more
negotiation likely to be attempted, and If tried
would be fruitless An abrogatiOn of the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, by the mutual consent of parties
to it, must follow; aud then each party will pre-
serve and protect its interests in the 1sthmean re-
gion in such manner as it may choose. A COLI
sion of interests will be soon followed by collision
of force-that is, by war.
But if peace beprescrved, through the freedom
and forbearance, or good fortune of the two Gov
ernments still we are on the eve of financial diff
fculties, which must necessarily grow out Of n
runous system of revenue, which the present
Congress seems to be incompetent to amend.
The tariff bill, rs reported from the majority Of
the Committee on Ways and Means is still under
discussion. The speech delivered to day by Mr..
Boyce of So. Ca, on this subject is by far the
ablest to which the discussion has given rise. He
opposed the present system and the new bill which
is based upon it, as defective in principles and in
details.
He insisted also, with much force, upon the
necessity of reduction of the revenue, the accu-
mutation of which in the treasury will be produc-
tive of iucalculabe evil, politically and fnan-
cially.
His views on this subject appeared to produce
an impression upon the House, yet may who &C
knowledge their justice, still say that it is two
late in the session to mature judicious system.
and that the subject must 60 over to the next
Congress-

FROM WASHINGTON,

Correspondence OF the Charleston Courier.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.
warm spell of weather has succeeded the in
tense cold, and the Potomac, released from ice,
has asserted its rights, as usual at this season,
and carried off in its impetuous course the crazy
old bridges which Uncle Sam had recently, for
the twentieth time, repaired or rebuilt. Ofcourse
the mails and travel have been again impeded.
This was the day assigned by Mr.. Buchanan,
for the completion of his Cabinet arrangements
Mr.. Howell Cobb, will leave on visit, for his
residence tomorrow, preparatory, as it surmised
to his entrance upon his duties as member of
the Cabinet. Whether he is to fill the Treasury
or the War Department, is yet unascertained.-
It has been rumored that he would decline any
but the first place in the Cabinet, and that he con-
sidered the State Department as the first The
Office of Secretary of State has of late, been spoken
Of as the premiership, term entirely inapplicabe
to our executive system. The British premier is
at the head of the government, and generally has
the selection Of his aids in other executive offices.
1t is not so here When General Washington
formed his first Cabinet, he selected Col. Haml-
ton as Secretary of the Treasury, as the highest
post in the administration. Subsequently, when
Mr.. Jefferson came into the Presidency he con-
sidered the office of Secretary of State, as the
highest, which he indicated at his first Cabinet
dinner BY conducting Mrs. Madison, instead of
Gallatin, to the table. Hence it was inferred that
Mr.. Jefferson considered the Office of Secretary Of
State as the highest. Though the State Depart
ment has always been filled by distinguished
statesmen, and is one of high trust and dignity,
yet in regard to power and patronage it is highest
post under the government.
=, If Mr.. Cobb should not be the Secretary of
State, who will be? That is question which
puzzles the politicians here. The chances of Gen.
Cass and of Mr.. r. J. Walker, have each declined,
and no new names have been of late suggested
We shall not know who are to compose the Cabi-
net till the 25th, when Mr.. Buchanan is to be
here, and when he is to gather his selected advi-
sers around him, and submit for their approval
his inaugural address His general policy will he
marked out, in his State paper, and of course, as
he requires that his Cabinet shall be unit. it will
be so shaped Us to meet their cordial support,
while it conforms with his own.
Mr.. Buchanan is to take the helm at difficult
time. When Mr. Fillmore, during the agitation
of the compromise measures of 1850, came into
the Presidency, he had occasion to remark that
it was poor time to be President. Mr.. Buchan-
an will fall upon worse time. 1t is no time for
an easy, quiet, concihatory man to keep, undis-
turbed, the even tenor Of his ways. It is the be-

MEETING AT BETHEL.

MEETING AT BETHEL.
Messrs. Editors I'm these days Of reform, you
and your readers will perhaps be glad to learn
something about the good things-the good speech
es, good dinners and good company-whieh the
friends in the country occasionally enjoy. One Of
these seasons we had at Bethel, last Saturday
apublic meeting of the Division of the Sons Of
Temperance, located in the midst of that moral
and intelligent neighborhood. The company was
q large one-both Of ladies and gentlemen; and
the address by Dr. J. B. Hunter was chaste, i'm
pressiye and eloquent production. Ihave not Of
ten heard better speeches on this familiar subject;
it told powerfully in more quarters than one, and
gave satisfaction and, in fact, q rare entertain
ment to all who where fortunate in hearing it.
The ladies had exerted their skill to the utmost
in preparing the picnic; and when the speech
was ended, the company were invited to partake
of as attractive a dinner as ever vas spread by
fair hands upon hospitable board am fond of
good eating, and have had my share of it, thank
fortune in this life and nota little of it has been
taken from the appetizing picnic table; but nev-
er saw or dived into more creditable feast than
that was Substantial and delicate, real and or
namental meats and breads and cakes and desserts,
and what-not-the sight and taste of it all fingers
with me, and confess in earnest, that 1 cannot
now do justice to the subject. only know that,
on the occasion Of which speak, did SO to per-
fection.
Bethel Division is fourishing. 1t has the gen.
uine stuff in it. Twelve members Joined the
ranks Saturday, and the way was opened for sew

out the Temperance Reform.
You must manage to be present at one of our
country gatherings. If they are all like the Bethel
meeting, you would find it worth coming to see.
On the last Saturday in March, the Centre Divi-
sion design to make demonstration; when ad-
