3,000 Federal troops at Cairo. Preparations
are said to be making in Tennessee and Ken-
tucky to attack them. Tbe commanding officer
at Cairo has telegraphed that 1,700 stand'of
arms were landed oil the night of the 30th at
Columbus, Kentucky, and seven cannon at Pa-
ducab the day following. The commander of
the Fede^l troops is evidently uneasy.

New Orleans Monet Mabkht.—The Picay-
une of Saturday says: " We have to report
a very tight money market for the week. The
banks have been pressed for discounts, but un-
der the untoward aspect of political affiiirs,
force directors to be extremely cautious and cir-
cumspect, which has been attended by a very
severe pressure on the street—as strong as any
of tbe seAon—and bearing very adversely on
some prominent firms. To all intent and pur-
poses we might as well just cut short our weekly
review. Of negotiations in paper we have no*
beard of any for several days, beyond some
street loans on first class securities at 2@214
Vcfc V month. As fdV sales of factors' paper,
we have not one to quote."
Pensacola.—Preparations for the great
struggle at Fort Pickens are still going on
quietly and earnestly. The U. S. vessels have
landed665 men, who are busy in fortifying,.at
other points, the island on which the Fort is
jjtuated. They have horses and two field bat-
teries ; wagons to carry provisions and muni-
tions to and fro, and all athe necessary camp
^uipage. Tbe have some thirty negroes on
the island at work ; they were taken f om their
owners at Key West by force. The troops are
over-worked, badly fed and ' clothed, and are
SÍid to be1 dissatisfied. Two deserters have
joined the Confederate forces, and say many
wish to desert, and only await an opportanity ;
that the officers are very suspicious and watch
every movement oí soldiers and sailórs. They
work day and night on the fort, and ia coa-
struot^pg batteries on different paints of the
is'and.
The Confederate Arm v.—President Davis,
in his late mlisage, says that there are now in
tbe field at Charleston, Pen sacóla, Forts Mor-
gan, Jackson, St. Philip and Pulaski 19,000
men, and 16,000 are now en ronte for Virginia.
It is proposed to organize and hold in readi-
ness for instant setion, in view of the present
elfjfeYicies of tbe country, an army of 100,000
i BMn- ..j
Requisitions (or troops bare been met with
such alacrity that t&e number tendering their
services have in every instance greatly exceed-
eifthe demand.
There are doubtless half a million of men,
now under arms iff the Southern States, and
ready to move wherever they ug required.
Gtif.43corr, it seems, is determined to ad
here to the tottering fortunes of tbe Lincoln gov-
ernment. It ¡9 said that he is to change his
headquarters to Philadelphia, and that thirty-
tW n«and troops-art to be concentrated at Wash,
ington. He seen " determined to keep tbe Re-
publicans in power then, if possible. The
telegisphsasya that resolution hews been offer
ad in Ih* Maryland Legislature that troops for
the defsoas of tbe capitel may be transported
over the Maryland railways.
Resolution* were accepted to appoint a com-
mittee to confer with President Davia and Gov-
ernor Letrber ¿n order to avert civil war.
Some 15,000 troops are said to be already in
Washington, and as many more destined for
that city, were said to bs in New York, the 1st-
instant.
Th* Tims.—The tides, which are princi-
pally governed by the moon, are not always
equally high, nor do they happen at equal in-
tervals ; for the position of tbe moon with res-
pect to t& sun, her declination, and her dis-
tance-from tbe Earth, with Tarions other causes
operating to produce irregularity, render it ex-
- tremely difficult to predict the precise time of
high water. Tides are usually highest a day
or two after new moons, and lowest just after
the moon's quadratures. The highest floods
and the lowest ebbs occur at the now and full
moons, near tbe equinoxes in March and Sep-
tember.

j>orarily removed from Annapolis to Newport,
Washington, April 28.—On Friday after-
noon tbe Kansas company called in a body at
the White House to take leave of tbe President.
Col. Vaugban, of Leavenworth, delivered a
short speech, the burden of which was that the
loyal people of tbe North expected tbe Govern-
ment to crash out tbe Southern rebellion at all
hazards.
The President in his reply said : " Tbe last
hope of peace may not have passed away, but
if I have to choose between tbe maintenance of
the Union of these States, of the authority of the
Government, and tbe liberties of this nation on
tbe one band, and the shedding of fraternal
blood oh the other, you need not be at a loss
which course I shall take."
Tbe Northern troops are defacing tbe Capitol
at Washington, and very much mutilating its
stucco and greasing the walls. The troops are
quartered in tbe fine committee rooms. There
are fifteen thousand Federal troops quartered in
that city. Tbe heights of Georgetown are be-
ing diligently fortified. The families of tbe
Cabinet have all left tbe town. The hotels there
are all to be olosed. Troops are pouring into
Washington City without binderance. Tbe
Lincoln blockade is to be extended to Virginia
and North Carolina ports on Monday next.

out division, adopted the report of the Commit-

sion.
It is said that Maryland has refused to pass

It is said that Maryland will not call a. State

Onr last weekly circular embraced the news
of fba Liverpool cotton market to include the
8th nit., per the "Columbia," reporting an ad-
vance of yai. on all grades, and quoting Mid-
dling Orleans at 7 6-16d.
Our accounts from Liverpool are now up to
the 13th April, by mail from New York. The
sales of cotton for the week were 95,000 bales.
The market was Yai®lAd. higbér aad closed
steady at the advance, with sales on Friday of
10,000 bales ; Fair Orleans, 8d.; Middling do.,
7^d.
Consols closed on the 12tb at 91Ji(2)91% f°r
money, and 92®92% for account.
New York, April 28—cotton active and in
good demand at for Middling Orleans.
In New Orleans on the 29th ult., market in-
active, the sales only amounting to 750 balesi
on a basis of 10Jí@llc. for Middling.
Galveston Cotton Market—Since our last
report the market remains unchanged, the same
inanition hangs over it; a few bales have been
sold on private terms, said to be on a basis of
10JÍC. for Middling. For practical purposes
tbe market is closed for the present.
The receipts of cottop during the week have
been 681 bales, a falling off from last weeks
receipts, which we deemed extremely light, of
1037 bales; the exports are confined to 114
bales to New Orleans.
In our last review we observed the sudden
advance provisions had taken, on account of
the anticipated blockade of the Mississippi, but,
we are glad to say, without these gloomy fore-
bodings being fulfilled. Since then, we are in
receipt of liberal imports, that with the oppor-
tune rains, and the favorable accounts of tha
abundant harvests of cereals, has reduced our
market prices almost to their former scale, as
will be observed by reference to our provision
table.
Wool—No market—receipts since 1st of Sep-
tember last 703 bags.
Sugar—No receipts.
Molasses—No transactions.
Hides—Business extremely dull: receipts
limited, quotations nominal.
Freights—We hear of a schooner tilling for

fien. Houston in Cahawbi.
Last Monday morning, the name of General
Sam Houston, of Texas, was entered on, the
register of tbe Dallas Hall as one of the late
and distinguished arrivals.
Two gentlemen sent their cards to him—took
their seats in the parlor, and in -quiet dignity,
waited for his appearance. They waited
long time; but old San Jacinto did not appear.
At length, their patience " liore out," and they
left. Soon after it was announced that the
General was ready to receive company,jind Col.
G——7- consented to act as master of ceremo-
nies. Several gentlemen expressed a desire to
be presented tohm. Tbejmarched up stairs
to the parlor, headed by the Colonel, where tbe
Goneral was ready to receive them. They wepe
introduced in duii form,, aad " invited tp take
seats. Each and every eye in the room, save
those of tí Colonel himself, commenced a
critical examination of tbe person of the Gen.,
who boiw it with patient dignity as i matter of
coarse. Tbe General was found to be a map
of apparently sixty years of age, tali and bwlj
ia person, s little Mid, asi boasting an
sire pair of whisAeri.
After a few somates silence, one of the visi-
tors politely inquired of tbe General if he would
not visit Marion where it is known be married
his present wife.
" Yes, I am gwiba to Marion before I go
borne," replied he, in a most decided Tennes-
see horse drover dialect, which astonished big
visitors not a little, but they Remembered he had
been a Tennessee pioneer, and n little of tbe
demagogue, in latter days, so ihey excused
what they considered tbe effect of early im-
pressions, or tbe affectation of one who wanted
to talk in the familiar language of the mas-
ses. -
The surprise passed away, and another e'en
tleman asked—
'* What ia.the news from Texas, Sir?"
" They are kickio' up h—1 in Texas," prompt-
ly responded the General to tbe very great
amazement of the company, who thongbt that
General Houston ivas a member of soma Chris-
tian Church, and not given to the use of bad
words. Before they recovered from their as-
tonishment, the General proceeded—
" I reckin, gentlemen, you have come here to
trade—(increased sensation)—I've got as fine
a drove of mulct' in Gibson's lot as tou ever
seen—{speechlesH astonishment)—and, in a
few days, Fll havo a lot of the beat Tennessee
corn whisky that over was 'stilled any wbacs—
(unspeakable horror depicted in the counte-
nances of the visitors)—and' when it comes,and
yon take a taste of it, you will say it's as good
spirits as youever drink'd."
At length one of tbe gentlemen recovered suf-
ficiently to enqairu, in a.faint voice—
Are you from Texas ?"
No, air; 1 nerer was in Texas, and don't
want to go there."
"Are you not Gen. Sam Houston 1" enquired
another whose eyoa were opening.
u Iw ? *- n\ n*DQ* is Brewster, ot
Rutherford coonty, Tennessee, wbar- the boys
sometimes call me Gin'ral. I thought yon
called Gin'ral Brewster, when you come in.—
Who told yon 1 was Gin'ral Houston?" he
fiercely asked.

Bat tbe Colonel slipped oat.
In an instant tbe truth flashed upon the
mind of one of tbe gentlemen-present and he
said.
" Gentlemen, tliis is the first of April, and we
are all tooled t"
Tbe Tennessee man, upon this announcement,
looked exceedingly grim, as'did bia visitors
when they saw that they were taken in : but
Tennessee soon relaxed, and with a broad gria
said: " Lefago and get a drink, boys, and say
mora about it/'

SPECTACLES ACCURATELY FITTED TO THE
CONDITION OF THE EYE.
O. B. NEWMAN,
Ol'TICIAS AND SPECTACLE MAKER.
BEGS o inform the spectacle wearing public that
he is permanently located in this city with a well
selected stock of the celebrated and newly invented
concave convex Brazilian Pebble Spectacles, and will
continue to keep the largest and finest assortment of
the kind in the State; also Mathematical and Optical
Instruments, Barometers, Sell Registering Thermom-
eters, Microsco es, Spy Glasses, Marine Glasses and
Compasses for Hunters and Excursionists, Magnifiers
and Readers, etc.
N. B.—Orders from the country, with the statement
of age and condition of the eyes, promptly attended
to. Pebbles and Glasses fitted to the old frames.
JL/*Spectacles sent to order free by mail.
Annexed are the following testimonials of the well
known gentlemen who have used and tested his glasses.
Instruments on hand to test the genuine article.
•G. B. NEWMAN, Optician.
I have tested the Brazilian Pebble Spectacles sub-
mitted to me by Mr. Newman for inspection. 1 have
examined them well under my Microscope and Taur-
malin plates, (the only Pebble trier,) and found them
to be entirely void of cavities, and more transparent
than the finest of glasses. 1 have at the same time
examined some glasses represented to surpass all others
and contrary to that representation,! have discovered
that they are porous arid contain small cavities imper-
ceptible to the naked eye, and therefore I do not con-
sider them so wel 1 calculated to protect the eye as those
sold by Mr. Newman, to whirh no glass lenses stand
the leastoomparison. T. J. HEARD, Jl. D.
Galveston, Nov. 13,1860.
Mr. Newman—Dear Sir: I feel great pleasure in
sta ing that the Spectacleswhich I purchased rrom you
last Spring are far superior to any that I have been
using during the last twenty years. Owing to the con-
stant use of them, I find my vision so much improved
that I can now occasionally read and write without
the aid of glasses.
Very respectfully, your's. Ac.,

Lace Cotton Seed.
ANOTHER small consignment of this deservedly
popular Seed daily expected. One season's trial
in Texas has demonstrated th^t this plant suffers less
from protracted drougth, is moreeaaily cultivated and
gathered, and yields fully as much as the ordirary
Gulf cotton, whilst in this market it has sold readily
from 20@25c. ft,.

in it astiinulaut peculiarly adapted to comfort
declining years, as it is pleasant to tbe palate,
invigorating to the bowels, excellent as n tonic,
and rejuvenating generally. We have the evi-
dence of thousands of aged men and women
who have experienced the benefit of using this
preparation while suffering from stomach de-
rangements and general debility; acting under
the advice of physicians, they have abandoned
all deleterious drugs and fairly tested the
merits of this article. A few words to the
gentler sex. There are certain periods when
their cares are so harassing that many of them
sink under the trial. The relation of mother
and child ia so absorbingly tender, that the
mother, especially if she be young, is apt to
forget her own health in her extreme anxiety
for her infant. Should the period of maternity
arrive during the summer season, the wear of
body and mind is generally aggravated. Here,
then, is a neeeSsity for a stimulant to recupe-
rate the energies of the system, and enable the
mother to bear up under her exhausting trials
and responsibilities. Nursing mothers gene-
rally prefer the Bitters to all other invigora-
tors that receive the endorsement of physi-
cians, because it is agreeable to the taste as
well as certain to give a permanent increase
of bodily strength.
All those persons, to whom we have particu-
larly referred above, to wit: sufferers from
fever and ague, caused- by malaria, diarrhoea,
dysentery, indigestion, loss of appetite, and
all diseases or derangements of the stomach,
superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary
occupation, and nursing mothers, will consult
their own physical welfare by giving to Hos-
tetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters a trial.
CAUTION.—We caution the public against
using any of the many imitations or counter-
feits, but ask for Hostettf.r's Celebrated
Stomach Bitters, and see that each bottle has
the words " Dr. J. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters"
blown on the side of the bottle, and stamped
en the metallic cap covering the cork, and
observe that our autograph signature is on the
label. 1

PVl.E'S PATENT IKON TIE.
I ItE attention of Planters and others interest
Cotton is respectfully invited lo a NEW TIE for
fastening Iron Rands on Cotton Rales. We have had
its merits thoroughly tested by use, aud now olfer it
with confidence to the pl'Blic. being assured of its su
periority over all other Ties yet offered lor sale.
From its simplicity and facility of working, we are
confide it that it will give perlect satisfaction to the
Cotton interests In the use of this Tie the entire
strength of the Rand is retained, (no holes being re
quired to be made in the bands as in the fastening of
the Fassman's and other patents.) It culi be reused
at the compress with equal speed of the rope, without
tliat loss in changing to rope which has lieen the great
cau-e of retarding the general practice ol' Randiug
Cotton with Iron.
This Tie, we claim, overcomes this —the only serious
obstacle to the use of the iron band, which possesses
to planters aud others, as is admitted by all properly
informed persons, many and great advantages over
the rope I«ind.
First—Less in cost.
tilecoND—Less liable to breakage of bands iu hand
ling, saving greatly in this item of expense and loss
of Cotton.
Thiro—In its security against the casualty of fire
amounting to almost a full insurance in its transpor
tatiou to market—for it is a proved fact, that a bale of
Cotion banded with iron can scarcely be burned.
Fourth—Thatit t aVesup very much less room <
shipboard.folding .he cotton in l<- s space, making
more profitable for the ship to freight, and many othe
advantages wellknownte thepublic.
Tbe undersigned having accepted the Agency for the
sale of Iron Bands and Ties on Cotton Rales, has
opened a Depot for the sale of the same, at his Store
on the Strand, where he is prepared to furnish Plan
ters and others with their supplies, on reasonable
terms.
A large, stock has beeú ordered direct from Liver
pool, to meet the demands for the incoming crop.
This Tie has been thoroughly tested in the oounlry
and by the Compressers iu this city, and has given uni
versal satisfaction ; and I can, therefoie, confidently
recommend it as heing the best Tie yet offered to the
public. ALLEN LEWI?, Sole Agent.
