Reported Death op Mititui.!.. The Mobile Examiner of the 25th u!t. says : —“Mitchell —well known about our city as “the Pirate”—died this morning about six o’clock. Several days ago ho was imprisoned for riot, and by some means made his escape. lie was retaken yester day and bound, but while on his wav to the prison, he managed to unloose himself. In securing him, he made resistance, ami the guard wasrobliged to shoot him down, lie died from the wound received. Mitchell was notorious for having been engaged in several acts of piracy, and it was supposed that he commanded tiie much dreaded “low, black schooner," --which overlaid the Susquehanna. At the time of his escape from prison, lie held a privateering commission in tiie service of Tex ami his purpose was to go on board a boat at the wiiaif, and to reach a vessel L ing at tiie Bulize ready lor the expedition, lie had several com panions fetfgaed vw.b ifim.” Since the above v. as in type, say? the Mo bile Chronicle of the fl*<th, we have been informed that Mitchell is not dead, but wounded.

Close to the town of II , two gen tlemen lived under the same roof of very opposite principles—the one, .Mr. A. a violent radical, the other a confirmed to rv, captain B. Continued discussions pro duced continued squabbles, and these squabbles brought on enmity and antip athy to each other. The tory who \v;m a hali’-p'iy captain, and bad really seen scr • vice with credit to himself, under strong provocation challenged the radical, anJ, to his surprise, the challenge was ac cepted. The challenger, however was not well pleased with himself for risking the comforts and continuance of his half pay so unadvisedly. V> hethcr it was tlint his nerves, not naturally weak, had during the peace been put by and i oiled, together with his military weapons, | and were not upon taking down quite lit ; for use; or whether continual thinking alone upon the disagreeable subject, had damaged them, the effect was the same; an ’ had the feeling taken possession ol an army instead of an individual, it would have been called a panic.

[\. Y. Herald. [From the Democratic Review.] COTTON “The production of cotton in the Southern and South-Western States, may lie fairly considered to have exercised a more important agency than any other •single circumstance in retrieving the credit of the country both at home and abroad. By furnishing a staple commod ity of general necessity to a great amount, this cultivation has enabled our citizens, in all sections of Xhc United States, to fol low their commerce without being con stantly exposed to the disturbing influence of the enormous sacrifices upon their re mittances to foreign nations, to which they were before subjected. In connec tion with our tobacco, fish, lumber, rice and breadstuff’., cotton has mainly ena bled ns to pay for the articles of necessi ty tis well as luxuries, which we have so largely imported from England, France and other countries. It has accord ingly become one of the principal sources of the wealth of our citizens, greatly ad vantageous even to the States which do not produce it. Our cotton crops have in fact placed Europe in a staff; of greater dependence upon us than we are upon Europe, inasmuch as this commodity is essential, not only to the prosperity, but to the very existence of a great portion of its manufacturing population. In this point of view, the production of cotton of the Lnited States may he regarded ns the most important element of actual ’com mercial independence. The precise circumstances under which its cultivation began in the South ern States, the time when, and place where, it obtained first a permanent foot ing, arc involved in much obscurity. It doubtless commenced upon so small a* scale as to have attracted little general at tention. South Carolina appears to be entitled to tiie credit of its first introduc tion as early as 1753 or IVSO, though it was immediately communicated to tiie ad joining State of Georgia, where it was produced ntthe earlier stages of its culti vation, in the largest quantity. The great obstacle to its extension was the in finite trouble and delay with which the separation of the fibre from its seed was attended. The species of cotton first in troduced, known in commerce by the name of upland, adheres to every part of itssecd with great tenacity. Among the early cultivators, the fibre was usually sep arated from the seeds by the bands of the laborers. A pound of clear cotton was the usual task for the day’s work of a fe male. The first planter who raised cot ton upon a large scale as it was then call ed, was Mr. Teake, of Savannah. In IVSSliiscTop was 5,000 pounds in tiie seed. This would make about 1,200 pounds of clean cotton by the present mode of ginning. The difficulty which lie experienced in procuring this crop to he cleaned was so great, that he proposed to liis correspondent in the North, to send it to liim in the seed, under the belief that the persons by whom it was manufuctul’cd would devise some more convenient and economical mode of preparing it for card ing, than was in the power of the planter. It was found, however, that cotton in the seed was an unsaleable article among the manufacturers. Rollers and the bow string wore subsequently introduced to fa cilitate the separation from the seed', and continued in use until the saw gin was invented; but ilie process with their as sistance was exceedingly tedious and ex pensive. After they had been universally abandoned, upland cotton was known for ; many years in the English market us “Bowed Georgia.” In fact, it is some times quoted bv that name in the prices current of the present day—more than forty years since the instrument from i which it was originally called lias been ; entirely out of use. In 1*93, the difficulty which had so long been tiie principal obstacle to the exten sive and profitable cultivation of upland j cotton, was effectually obviated by a 'young man from Massachusetts, who bad been engaged to go to Georgia in the ca pacity of a family tutor. Soon after his arrival in that State, lie was apprised of ; the great inconvenience to w hich grow ers of cotton wore subjected in preparing it for market. With the characteristic enterprise of his origin, and a prophetic perception of its incalculable national importance, he immediately racked his invention for the contrivance of a reme dy. The saw gin was not, ns has been the case with so many valuable discover ies, the offspring of a lucky accident, but was tho result of a systematic applica tion of earnest thought and powerful me chanical genius. When it was originally put in motion it was precisely identical in principle and operation with those now employed throughout the Southern and South-Western States. For tiie sake of I the credit of those States who have deriv ed almost incalculable wealth from his simple and ingenious invention, we wish it was in our power to say that a fit re ward had been bestowed upon Eli Whit ney. From that invaluable collection of the leading statistics of our subject, we do- j rive the following statements, to show the j remarkable fact of the wonderful increase j of its production, within the period of! less than half a century. As the quanti ty consumed in this country at various j periods appears to he wholly a matter ofj estimate and opinion, we take the ac-, counts of exports from the United States, which are clearly ascertained, as the i means ol comparing the relative amounts j produced The quantity exported in 17‘JO ua s 400,000 lbs. In 1791, 200,000 lbs.’, and in 1792, 150,000. Its diminution, dur ing the two last years, furnishing even m the absence of all other testimony, the most conclusive evidence of the difficul ty ol preparing the commodity for mar ket to which we have adverted. hi 1795, after the saw gin had begun to opei ate to a considerable extent, the ex port was 0,250,000 lbs. From this peri od .he exportation has gradually increas ed to its present extent—being in 1835 the last year stated by Mr. Woodburvq 330,.>00,000 lbs. From other authentic sources we have ascertained that the ex port of l!“3G was upwards of four hun dred and twenty-three millions of pounds. I iie whole of the exportation of cotton from the United States during the three first years before stated, would hardly suf fice for the cargo of _a single ship of the size usually employed in freighting it to Europe; which, in 1830, if we add°to the quantity exported, that used in the United States, for domestic purposes and our ex tensive manufactures, which cannot he fairly estimated at less than one hundred and twenty-five millions of pounds the aggregate would not fall far • short of enough to freight a thousand such ships. Such a wonderful increase in the produc tion of a single article, within so short a period, cannot fail to fill the mind with astonishment. Second Departure of the Grea'i Western. The sailing of this splendid steamer, on her second voyage, has lost none of the interest felt by the public for tier success. It was announced on her arrival, that she would sail on Monday, at 1 lb IM. Confident that her departure would lake place, the wharves on the East and North River were literally lined with multitudes of spectators, eager to catch a parting glance at this acceptable visitor. A few moments before 4, the various steamboats that had prepared to accompa ny the steamer, were seen darting from the w harves freighted with a multitude of la dies and gentlemen. There were the fine Steamboats New Haven, Belle, C. Van derbilt, Passaic, Hercules, and Fairfield, together with a vast number of small craft, all crowded. At 4 o’clock P. M. the Great Western shut down her safety valves, and cut loose from the wharf amid the cheers of thous ands. She passed down the East River with colors flying and music playing, rounded past the Battery and gave three cheers, which was returned by those on shore. After standing up the North River for a short distance, she took her depart ure, and steered down the bay surrounded by* the fleet of steamboats emimerarted above. The wind was light from the South, the sun shone bright and clear. The shore of Staff n and Long Islands were lined with spectators to view the procession of Steamboats. After the boats had passed the Narrows, one boat after another sheered up alongside of the Great Western, gave her nine cheers, which was returned Irom on board, and left her. The New Haven, Captain Stone, was the last boat to separate. She proceeded to sea, and on parting, ranged alongside, fired two guns, and gave three cheers, which was returned by an equal number of guns and cheers. The Great \\ estern being then at sea, stopped her wheels, parted with her -pilot, and shaped iter course for Old England. Long before the sun sunk below the western horizon, her hull disappeard, and her smoke only could L>e seen mingling with the clouds". Her speed down the Bay was so great that our fastest boats found it difficult to keep u jj with Her. She has 90 passen gers on board, which we feel confident will reach England in safety. Indian Relics. The editor of the Hav erhill Gazette says that during a recent vis it to Maine, he saw a number of human hones, which were dug out of the sand at the mouth of the Kennebec river. A tnong the bones were some of immense magnitude, which it is supposed by those of the medical faculty who examined them, to have belonged to a person not less than seven feet in height. There are a num ber of sculls in a perfect state of preserva tion. One of the skeletons when found was in a sitting posture, and covered in different parts of liis body with pieces oft a copper kettle, the bottom being or. his head. From the different articles found deposited on the covering of the head, it is supposed he was one of the chiefs; there being a large quantity of beads, and points of arrows made of stone. The beads were composed of something verv bard, and by rubbing them a beautiful polish could be produced.—There were eleven of the graves opened, all of which contained more or less bones, a great ma ny of which on being exposed to the air, soon dropped to pieces.
