New Cotton.—The first bale of new cot
ton was received here on Wednesday last,
Blst ult. It was from the plantation of Col.
John C. Davie, near Hickory Plain. It was
bought bv Messrs. Evans & Horne, at 12j
cents, and classed good Middling.
Large Cargo of the Great Staple.
The New Orleans True Delta, of the 29th ult.,
gays : rhe Vicksburg packet Charmer, Capt.
Wilson, arrived last night, with a cargo of
2987 bales cotton, all of which is of the new
crop, with the exception of six orseven bales.
New Store Room—Entirely New Stock
op Goods.—Our townsman, J. H. Quisenberry,
Esq., is in receipt of his new stock of fall and
winter goods, and they arc now open for the
insoection of the public. We visited his new
store rooms on Buena Vista street, yesterday,
and never has it been cur lotto witness a more
magnificent display. The interior arrange
ments are alike creditable to the taste and in
domitable energy of Q. Ilia stock has been
selected with care, and under his own imme
diate supervision. He has in his employ po
lite and attentive gentlemen, who are always
ready to accommodate the customer in every
article in the Dry Goods, Hardware. Earthen
ware, Queensware, China and Glassware,
Boots, Shoes, Hats—in fact anything that can
he mentioned "from a pin up.” See his ad
vertisement in our columns._;
Evans &. Horne.—This new firm are in re
ceipt of (heir magnificent stock of fall and
winter goods, at Uie!r new store rooms, on
Buena Vista street. The best evidence of
cheap goods, and fine bargains, is evinced by
the advertisements to be found in our columns.
Those who advertise, always sell cheapest,
and as a matter of course, get the custom.
Messrs. Evans & Horne are gentlemen well
known, and their names will be "a tower of
strength” in the dry goods and grocery line.
Gamblers, Burglars, &c.—The citizens of
Napoleon recently organized a Vigilance Com
mittee, and promptly expelled from their
midst a horde of men who prey upon society,
• living and flourishing” without any ostensi
ble calling. The citizens of Vicksburg have
I also formed a Vigilance Committee for the
same avowed purpose. We hear it intimated
that "not a few” of these prowlers come up
White river, and can be found at different
points. Have we any of these characters
about D i Arc? How many persons can he
found, who have no legitimate business?—
Look out for them!
A Magnificent Spectacle.—On Thurs
day night, commencing about 10 o'clock, we
beheld, in this region, one of those magnificent
spectacles which occur but rarely in this lati
tude. A column of light shot up from the
Northern Iviriz.j.i phosphorescent and span
led with innumerable rays, which soon deep
: cm d and widened until it spread over the vast
alv >v i. It may have been the Aurora
B -■ :ii aus or Northern Light, but it was un
l:!:e the previous demonstrations of that won
derful phenomenon as we have several times
beheld i in more Northern latitudes. The
Ivht was disseminated over the entire space
of mother earth—Ilduses, trees and other ob
jects made no shade. The pilots of the steam
er Sum Ha! \ which boat pas-ed up on Fiiday
morning, affirm that they could see objects
!vell as in broad day-nguc—uiai no >uau
wore perceptible' fioin any source
: the light shone as brightly on the South
side as it did upon the Northern side of
ry object.
ayard Taylor gives the following descrip
i of the appearance of the Aurora, near the
when at Ilaparanda, near the head of the
f ot' Bothnia:
was dark when we reached Ersnas,
rnce we had twelve miles to Old Lulea,
h tired horses, heavy roads, and a lazy
■or. I laid down again, dosed as usual, and
d to forget my torments. So passed three
rs;the night had long set in, with a clear
, thirteen degrees helow zero, and a sharp
d blowing. All at once, an exclamation
n Braisted aroused me. I opened my eyes.
[ lay on his lap,*and looked upward, and
a narrow bell' or scarf of silver tire
tching directly across the zenith, with its
ie frayed ends slowly swaying to and fro
n the slopes of the sky. Presently it be
to waver, bending back and forth, some
?s slowly, sometimes with a quick, spring
motion, as if testing its elasficily. Now
nok the shape of a bow, now undulated in
dogarth’s line of beauty, brightening jind
mg in -Rs-stnncm? motion, and finailyform
r shepherd’s crook, the end of which sad
ly began to separate and fall off, as if driv
by a strong wind, and the whole belt shot
ay in long, drifting lines of fiery snow. It
n gathered again into a dozen dancing
gments, which alternately advanced and ro
uted, shot hither and thither against and
oss each other, blazed out in yellow and
y gleams, or paled again, playing a thou
d fantastic pranks, as if guided by some
d whim.
■Vo lay silent, with upturned faces, watch
; this wonderful spectacle. Suddenly, the
ttered lights ran together, and, ashy a com
n impulse, joined their bright ends, twisted
® through each other, and fell, in a broad
ninous curtain, straight downward through
* air, until its fringed hem swung apparent
but a few yards over our heads. This phe
menon was so unexpected and startling, that
a moment I thought our faces would be
Iched by the skirts of the glorious auroral
ap5lry. It did not follow the spheric curve
he firmament, but hung plumb from the ze
falling, apparently, millions of leagues
rul‘?h the air, its folds gathered together
mag the stars, and its embroidery of flame
eping tli, earth and shedding a pale, un
■V "y radiance over th“ wastes of snow. A
^Moment afterwards and it wai again drawn up,
■> waved its flambeaux, and shot its
' ' hither and thither, advancing and re
'vn" as before. Anything so strange, so
icious. so wonderful, so gloriously beauti
' scarcely hope to see again.^^

Escape from Jail.—We learn, from an ar
ticle published in the ‘ Pocahontas Advertiser,’
that three prisoners escaped from confinement
in the jail at Gainesville, in Greene county,
on the 22nd ult. Their names are James May,
James Lewis, and Charles McCloud, alias O.
B. Houck. May and McCloud were confined
on a charge of larceny, and Lewis was charged
.with kidnapping a white child, in Mississippi.
They effected their escape by breaking both
the inner and the outer doors.of the jail.
May is about five feet and nine inches in
height, slender, and pale-faced. McCloud (or ■
Houck) is about five feet nnd eight inches high,
heavy built, and somewhat fleshy. Lewis is
about six feet high, round-shouldered, and '
probably thirty-five years of age. May and
McCloud are both young men, about twenty- i
four or twenty-five years of age. K»ep a ■
sharp look-out for the«o “wolves in sheep’s
clothing,” for they are in the midst of us.
