Cotton from Alabama.——Among the many
avenues to conymercial dealings and benef
cial intercourse which are constantly open
ing, as onr fine westen regions are brought
under the operations of industry, the cir
cumstance that supplies of excellent cotten
‘e now tiansported to this place from the
northern parts of the state of Alabama, 1s
the most recents though not the least im-
portant. Large cousiznments of this valu
able staple are hersatter expected to be
ade fom the same quarter, The effect
ol lhls new accession to the trade of our
town, will probably be to excite so much
competition as to place it on a fair level
with other commoditics on the score of
price ; by which means amore free and gen-
eral use can be made of it, not only in man-
uiictar ng establishments, but in multitudes

a natural conscquence of the
nereasing supplies of this article in the U.
vtates, which has already experienced a
material depression in foreign markets,
owing, in.party to the unusail quantities
raised In other countres. Large districts
both of the state of Alabama and Tennessee
will most likely be induced to seck a mark-
et Hr much of their cotten among the man-
ufactuing establishments of the Ohio coun-
try, in consequence of the ease and cheap-|
ness with which it can bs transported by
water, and fram the steady and growing de-
mand which the rapid multiplication of in-
habitants, and % corresponding increase of
wealth and improvements must necessarily
requirg. Noris it unreasonable to suppose
that much of the raw materi cun Le con-
venieatly paid for in manufacturing goods
and 10 the surplus produce of our soil.
The great southern sweep of the Tennes-
sce river presents a commodious aud easy
channel of communication to an extensive
area of fine countty congenial to the growth
of the cotten plant, comprising in its course
large portions of Tennessee and Alabama.

Wednesday Feb 2.
Mr. Kent, from the committee on the
District of Columbia, reported a bill con-
cerning the bauks of the busurict of Coa
lumbia, [ substantially contipuing certain
charters untii 1825; to prohibit the issue
of notes below the denomination of five dol=
lars : and providing that, if, previous to
1825, a consolidation of certain banks shall
take place, their charters shall be extended
to the year 1840,] The bill was twice
read by its title, and committed.
Mr. Strother offered the folicwing joint
resolution. : X
Kesolved by the Senate and House of
Repiresentalives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That the
Secret Journal ot the Old Congress, from
the date of the ratification of the definite
treaty of peace between the United States
and Great Britain, in the year 1783, to the
formation of the present government now
remaining in the office of the secretary of
state, be published under the direction of
the President ot the United States, and
that one thousand copies thereof be printed
and deposited in the library, subject to the
disposition of congress.
The resolution haying been twice read,
Mr, Strother moved that it be ordered 10
ve engrossed and read a third time to-mor-
row. He saw no objection to its taking
this course, which would afford the oppo-
nents of the proposition, if it had any, the
opportunity fully to urge their objections;
and would have the advantage, should it
meet the favor of the house, of being acted
on at once, and notlost or endangered by
the delay that would attend the usualcourse
of commitment to a committee of the whole
&c
Mr. Smith of N. C. was opposed to the
motion ; and hoped, as 1t was 2 proposition
involving the expendiiure of money, that it
would take the ordinary course, and b
committed. THe moved, therefore that the
resolution be committed to a committee of
the whole House.
After some cou versasion hetween Mes-
srs Strother, Smith, and Livermore, as to
the course proper for the resolution to take,
