Columbia Market.

FEBRUARY y.
Cotton.-It will be recolected that our preyious
weekly report of the cotton market closed on a
dull and dropping demand for the article, conse-
quent upon the unfavorable adyices brought nv
the Arabia. The week now under review opened
under the same heavy demand, aud up to Wednes-
day evening the market WAS quiet but steady at
our last quotations. On Thursday, however. a.
better demand sprung up, and prices repained
what they had lost on the arrival of the Arabia.
On Saturday morning the news by the Baltic came
to hand but as her adyiees were uni ,portant they
had no effect on our market, and the quotations
below will, we feelrconident be found to be as
near the true value of the article as it is possible
to have them, viz: Inferior 10a@11; ordinary
llf@l1f; middling 1l8@113; good middline
lls@ll4; fair l2@124 and choice l2s9I2Je.
The sales Of the week comprise:1 ,079 bales.
Bacon.-We have no material or quotable change
to notice in the bacon market, and we therefore
continue to quote 84@9 for shoulders; sides lOfa
l03; and new hams l2@l23c. II H. y
Corn.-The corn market has been Quiet INIT
steady since our last report and we continue to
quote $4,000. y bushel.

prices are firm at 65@6sc "a bushel. -" :
FloW.-There is q moderate stock Of fopr IN

About ten minutes after his death, the venerable
old Senator, whose locks are now white with the
frosts of age, came into room, and upon seeing
him cold in the embrace of death, threw himself
upon his bosom and wept as IL his heart poula

the attention and affection of many years mon
Mr.. Brooks, and he seemed to be the important
object Of his solicitude and existence, and While

ABOUT OVERsEERs.

The following timely suggestions in regard to
the duties of Overseers, and the proper definition
of ''fne CROP" are taken from an article in the
March number of DeBow's Review. Farmers, as
well as Overseers, might read such paragraph
proftably:-
ssIn conclusion, hear in mind that a fine crop
consists, first, in an increase in number, and mark
ed improvement in the condition and value of the
negroes: second, an abundance of provisions OF
all sorts for man and beasts, carefully saved and
properly housed third, both summer and winter
clothing made Mt homo; also, leather tanned and
shoes and harness made when practicable; fourth,
an improvement in the productive qualities of the
land, and in the general condition of the planta-
ton; fifth, the team and stock generally, with the
farming implements and the buildings, in fine or
der at the close Of the year; ; and young hogs more
than enough for next years killing; then, as
heavy crop of cotton sugar, or rice, as could
be made under the circumstances, sent to market
in good season, and of prime quality. The time
has passed when the ovcrseer was valued solely
for the number of bales of cotton, hogshead of
sugar or tierces of rice he had made without re-
ference to his other qualifications"

widowers, are phenomena; after kicking out or
being kicked out of harness. they are apt to get

passed regulating the weight of grain, as follows
Wheat 60 Tbs. to the bushel; Corn, 54 Rye, Sc !;
Rice, A; Buckwheat, 90; Barley, 4S; Oats, 80;
Peas, so; Corn Meal, 46. This, however, does
not prevent persons from selling by the bushel

in Washington several days; dined with the Pres
ident; and left political circles as much in the
dark as ever, in regard to the cabinet. Gen. Cass
is now said to be out of the list as Secretary Of
State; md Hon. F. W. Pickens, of our State, is
prominently mentioned INIT is worthy of re-
mark that Col. Brooks died of the affection-in-
fammation of the Larynx-which caused the death
of Gen. Washington. .......'.The Legislature of
Mississippi has adopted unanimously clause in
one of the code bills, prohibiting preaching by
negroes. This is another step towards our poiti-
cal safety. Much of the insurbordination of our
slaves might be correctly attributed to the inAu-
ence of negro preachers. ....."..'H Hoops and wee
