the constant practice of our slaves deserting
to, and finding protection with, the Northern
and Eastern States, increase greatly the ne
cessity of action on these subjects ; in which
all the Southern and Western States, to which
such acts are injurious and offensive, should
act together, coolly and deliberately, but firm
ly in the protection and maintenance of their
rights.

JNewbern and b ayetteville, except several
pieces of oid nance, the carriages and ap
pendages of which were burnt in the recent
fire at Wilmington, while waiting rc-shiprnent
to Fayetteville. The law provides for Arse
nals at Fayetteville and this place, but none
at Newbem, a point equally important and
necessary for a depot and keeper. The can
non burnt at Wilmington and other arms, oc
casionnlly require repair for their preservation
and usefulness, but there is no law for such
purposes. I he Executive is empowered to
employ a guard at the Arsenals whenever he
should deem it necessary. This mi"ht be
better accomplished by allowing uniform com
panics some exemptions aud privileges from
taxes, &c, who would undertake the dutv in
such way as the Governor should prescribe
It would accomplish the double purpose of
naving those companies under better discin-
line, anu tne arms under better protection,
which are matters of no small moment. In
deed, if the law was to extend to the uniform
companies throughout the State, privileges
and immunities of even trifiing importance,
it would secure improved discipline in the
militia now too much neglected. Whenever
the common schools get into operation, it
would be good policy to make military discin
line form a part of their exercises ; as we are
all admonished, from many circumstances,
not to torget the necessity of preparing in
peace tor any emergency ; and as a system
it is best to commence with the youths oi the
State.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 21.
Cottox. Our last report elated that the Cotte
mirkct, after a week of ;reat activity, closed heavi
lv, and with a prospect of decline, in consequence
of the receipt of very unfavorable accounts from
Europe. On Saturday last, holder offered their
stock more readily, and at some reduction on prcvl
ons rates, sales were effected to the extent of 2500
bales. On Monday the Market opened with an ac
live and more general demand, and on that and the
following daj folly 9500 bales were disposed of, at
a decline of about c per lb. The same activity has
since prevailed, and the stock for koin
ly reduced, holders have acquired more firmness,
and have regained theif former position. The sales
of the last three days amount fully to 11,500 bales
(making the h&neactions of the week 23,500 bale)
and the market ioses firmly at the quotation! of
last week. Our Aure?, consequently, rentainwUb
out alteration. Sdtenrfo Gor?ten.
