more highly appreciated, or more frequently ex
lulled, than at the North. And you remember
when one of the valiant sons of our own beloved
Stale, because of his many honorable and danger
ous wounds, was obliged to leave the Army and
seek the nursing care of his family, then in a
Northern city, how cordially he was received
there, and how the press of that city delighted in
honoring him. This is as it should be. Sectional
prejudices are, at all times, ruinous to the peace
of this Union, and more especially at this time
while we are engaged in a war with a hitter ene,
my. The whole nation should he united as one
man to bring the war to a speedy and an honorable
close. And who doubts the sentiment of the peo- j
pie with respect to it! The pouring in of volun
teers from the North and from the South, from the
East ami from the West, speaks volumes. As to
heroes, 1 believe no nation can boast of more than
our own, and they are from every portion of our
country. Surely memory has not to be taxed when
called on to name the heroes of the North! 1 lie
days of the Revolution are not yet forgotten. The
naval heroes of the war of 1812 will live “in story
and in song” as long as lime lasts, for they hum- |
bled the pride of the then “Mistress of the Seas,”
our most inveterate enemy. I need not name
them nor their birth places, for their names and
their history are as familiar to all as though
they were “written upon the arch of the sky.”—
Nor need 1 speak of the Northern volunteers of
1812. Let the veteran Gaines tell of their valor.
Let us come down to present times. Let us speak
of the victories of the Rio Grande and of Monte
rey. Who has forgotten the hero of Fort Brown, :
who, on receiving his death wound, exclaimed,*’il j
is well it was not a young man.” And then there |
were Page and Chadbourne, Hawkins and Mans. \
field, Belknap and Duncan, Neither can we for
get the gallant Blake, whose chivalrous
as he rode along reconnoitering the enemy’s works,
causing them to suppose that he was there chal
lenging any one of them to a personal conflict; —
nor the prowess of a Lincoln, whose sabre drank
the blood of more than one Mexican in rescuing
his friends from their unequal attack. And Mon
terey —Worth was there, and so was the Knox
(Duncan) of 1816; and how freely did the Mor
ri.-ses, Fields and McAvits pour out their blood,
even to the loss of life, in defence of our Southern
frontier. There were no Northern volunteer re
giments there, at any rule none north of Balti
more; but then there was a volunteer there of Pu
ritan birth, who gallantly led on to the light a gal
lant hand of soldiers of the blood ol the Cavalier,
Who has forgotten the brave Blanchare? Surely
these men will ever live in the hearts of their
countrymen, and 1 trust not as Northern heroes,
but as patriotic Americans, whose motto, like a ;
Winthrop’s, was, “Our country, no raalterwhat
its bouadaries.”
1 have not w ritten this in a spirit of fault-find- j
ing, but merely to call your attention to the re- |
marks before mentioned, feeling assured that you
had no desire to increase the sectional prejudices
that now exist between the Northern and South
ern portion of our beloved country; hut that you
would rather use your influence (and as an editor
it is immense; to a Hay these feelings, and to unite
usas a people by cords of affection stronger than
death. A Union Man. i

OBITUARY.
Died, near Monterey, Mexico, on the 13th ulf.,
Mr. Fleming G. Davies, formerly of Colnmbu .(a
son of tlie late Judge Davies of Savannah,) in the
Doth year of his age.
.Mr. Davies, then a resident of Columbus, was
among the first to volunteer for ihe seivice, when
intelligence was received in that place of the criti
cal position of our gallant little army on the Rio
(•ramie —being one of the original members of the
Georgia Light Infantry, under Capt, Calhoun. Im
patient, however, of Ihe delays incident to organi
zing the Regiment, he hurried to New Orleans,
and atiacheJ himself to one es the companies of
Col. Bailie Peyton's regiment. I pon the disband
ing of that regiment, in consequence of its having
volunteered lor six months only he declined tore
torn home, but remained attached to Captain Cal
houn's company, of the Georgia Regiment, till cut
oil in the bloom of life by one o| the diseases inci
dent to a campaign in that climate.
A large circle of relatives mourn Ids untimely
death, far from home, and ihose endeared atten
tions w hich none others, however kind, could in
his last moments so well bestow. And an exten
sive acquaintance will lament the loss of an esti
mable, manly, and honorable friend.
Peace to lus ashes ! and consolation (ah ! where
shall it he found?) to ids stricken relatives !

Our last review closed on an active week’.- bu

cottons quoted at lOalOJc. The market opened
on Saturday with a good attendance on the part of |
buyers, hut prices hardened up dur ng the day. |
though 2500 hales changed hands generally at a
slight improv ment on the quo alums of the day :
preceding. On Monday and Tuesday the same I
firmness was exhibited by holders, and the sales lor
the two days reached 6UOO hales at extremely full !
prices, particularly in the lower grades on which
the demand cheifiy run On Wednesday the mar- j
kel came to a stand, buyers refusing to operate to \
any extent at the rates demanded, and the sales |
reached only 1500 hales. Thursday’s transactions
felt otf to 1000 biles, and the sales of yesterday
were to i lie same amount, prices easing off a little
and a belter disposition manifested on the part of
1 some factors to sell. The qualities of cotton most
in demand are ihe description* below middling
fair, and they are relatively searce. The crops
generally run heller than usual, ami we have heard
of little- or no cotton this season that could he call
ed inferior. There have been no English buyers
in the market during ihe week. The purchases
, have been chiefly on northern account, with some
j little for France and a portion on speculation.
The business of ihe week foots up 12,000 hales,
and the market is dull.

As evidence ofthe superiority of the quality j

| pend the following correspondence:
Boston PI.AN’T.ITIo.N, )
N«ar Yazoo City, Mi.. Sept. I, IB4G $
Dear Sir: The great attention awakened by
j the introduction ofthe MASLODUN COT
| lON int<» tin* United Stales, together with my
: earnest desire that it may succeed in promoting
i the interests of the South, may be a suliicienl ex
cuse for this communication.
The seed were procured (as I suppose) near
the northern extremity ofthe Culfof California,
where there are extensive uninhabited regions,
and where Cotton of various kinds is sometimes
found growing wild. Its transfer to
therefore, (the same latitude) keeps it still in its
native climate.
That you may not he imposed upon in the pur
chase of seed, it is proper tor you to know, that,
with but two stalks growing tn 1842, i s cultiva
tion in 1814, had not extended beyond my plan
tation, rX) < pt in a single instance tn my neigh
borhood. In 1845 it was first raised by others.—
But its valuable properties not then being gen
j erally known, it became much mixed and crossed,
in many instances, w ith other cotton; and hence
the vast quantities of mixed seed throughout the
country And besides this, extensive frauds
have been committed by the sale of quite differ
ent kinds of seed, as “Alastodon.” A large com
mission house in New Orleans has been exten
sively engaged in this business, and many parts
of tite country have become llooded with spurious
seed.
Should you wish to cultivate the Mastodon,
\ou would do well to get seed that is genuine,
ami it is nearly equally important that it be neither
mixed or crossed with other cotton. 1 would
also suggest the. gmJTest care in keeping your
seed pure. To prevent it from degenerating,
plant, in small quantities ot picked seed occasion
ally, ti> use for seed.
1 have from the first taken the greatest possible
care of my seed, and have my present crop grow
ing entirely from picked seed. 1 shall put up my
seed crop can fully for sale, with my name on
each sack. They may be had in New Orleans
of Buckner & Stanton and Hooper & Marye, in
Mobile of Moulchin & Tevell, and shall also
have agenciesin the principal places in Alabama
Georgia and South Carolina. To secure my
seed it should be especially inquired for.
The Mastodon should be cultivated precisely
as other cotton, except that it should have a lit
tle more distance. The seed are very large and
white. To obtain a high price for the cotton it
should he bandied and ginned well.
Bv taking the “Southern Cultivator.” Augus
ta. Ga., SI per annum, you may learn more upon
this important stibjeet. Almost any ot the South
ern newspapers will Ire ot value to you in llt is re
spect. Allow me to sav that my brut her. Vlajor
M. L. Abbey, ut'C" , umbus, Miss., ami Air. D.
F. Miller, of La., have, 1 believe, taken great
pains iu preserving the purity ot their Mastodon
cotton seed.
Bv noting these remarks and circulating them {
among your friends, you wtl* promote the inter
ests ot cotton growers, and oblige yours, respect
fully, R- ABBEY
MASTODON COTTON.—From the fol
lowing letter from one ofthe oldest and largest
Commission Houses in Europe, it will be seen
that thw well ginned Alastodon Cotton was worth
in L.i erpool, at the lime the letter was written,
from 1(1 to 20 cents a pound. The Cotton the \
letter speaks ot was ginned on the common gins, j
It is now settled bevond question, that an arti
cle worth double the price of our common Cotton,
may be raised any where in the Cotton reigion,
without any additional expense or labor.

LIVERPOOL. Sept. 3,134 G.
R. Abbey Fsr/., Yazoo L ity, Ah :
Sir We regret that in replv to ' our favor of
August sth, we can give little satisfactory infor
mation as to the uses ot Alastodon Cotton in our
manufactories. Even bad a sufficient quantity
gone into consumption, which there has not, the
manufacturers would carefully conceal the uses to
to which thev put it. and its value toFhecn,
Os the quality and value of the Cotton in our
market, we can gt\e a strong rind decided opin
-1 ion. W e think its length ami strength and silki
ness of staple place it ur xt below Sea Island Cot
; ton, trorn which i* presents no marked point of
I difference, when not injured by ginning. This
j is a most important point, because saw ginned
Sea Island does not rank high in this market, ow
ing to the staple being cut.
The writer believes that he has seen every
parcel of Alastodon cotton in the Liverpool mar
ket. For some lOdtsasked. We sold two hales,
dull in color, at Bd, and a rather large saie was
made early in the season at 8J or 9d. Had we
100 bales of similar quality to the small hale of
Mr. W. 11. Mercer, we (should ask 10d, and we
have no vlou t a sale might be made readily at
9d. But you must bear in mind the parcels of a
hale or two are difficult to place, the buyer mak
ing rather a favor of taking them.
The principal points to attend to arc first, fine
ness, length and comparative strength of staple,
which must not be injured by over-ginning or
working the gin too fast, which converts valua
ble cotton into a broken mass of fibres, expensive
to separate and involving the loss of halt the Cot
ton. Next to this, u line pink bloom is desirable,
not too much ofthe cream color, and a degree of
oihness in the qu ility of the cotton, making the
sample si Ik v. These points at ained, the Cotton
| would only be inferior to the higher quahties of
Sea Islands. We remain you obedient servants,
