FENO THE PUBLIC.-Having, in c,nnexIon with \ the proprietors of The other Presses, signed n uniform larif of charges cotton, in order 10 com ply with the repeated solicitations of both Factors and Shippers, to relieve them from the perplexit, caused by many different rates, we deem Il due 10 ourselves to assign reasons for doing

 The I arf differs from the published by us in the early part of the season, in but items of In porlance, to wit: Planters Storage and Drayage from our wharves to Press. In relation to ihe first item we have adopted the uni, ersalll preferred by the Planters, while in lie country last summer, and with which they expressed hemselye 5 entirely sat isfed. In relation the second we had only agreed 10 dray from our wharf al cents per bale an inducement 10 have cotton landed there. Had Planters complied as rgldly with their promis- es to us as we have with our promises to them, there would have been no necessity for a change m thIs item. As however, with few exceptions, they have quietly allowed their cotton landed up town, in con sequence of which we have been compelled to pay l2a and l5 cents per bale to have il drayed down, and cannot gel It done at that, feel justified in consentng to the 10 cents drayage.

 We, however, had another and a stronger motive in view. The uptown wharfngers for some time past have been in the habit of payIng all the extra expenses incurred by boats cotton ordered to our wharves, but landed on theil's, in order get the wharfage of the balance of the cargo, and compel us to do all the long diayage.

 We place ourselves in position to resist this rangenlent and deprive them of any Inducement to continue il, consented to put up drayage, know ing that the aggregate charge could be made the to the planter, by taking of the wharfage, with which ihe other presses had nothing to do and in to- days paper will be found notice to this effect. By this we keep our faith to the country, and show 10 the parties uptown what they may expect so long as they play the grab g,me and seek to deprive down town of it's fair share of business

 We understand that we are accused of ing gone into a combination by thIs arrangement. In regard to the other Presses swer-for curse Ives we have only to say it is not true And If any one doubts the iact let him give order on the other Presses for Cotton, and he w soon ascertain wheh- CT or not there exists a combination.

 We have lear that course will be censured by any intelligent or liberal minded merchant planter. GREEN, CASEY & JAMES,
