or July, they would become efficient by the fol
lowing December.
I can truly say that it was strongly on my
mind when in the act of writing the unfortunate
letter, that it would be unreasonable to call on
the gallant and patriotic to volunteer for another
campaign in Florida, where nothing but hard
ship and suffering can b« expected—unrelieved
by the hope of battle and the glory consequent
upon victory. The latter is the only incentive
that can long cheer and animate volunteers in a
war not immediately connected with the defence
of their homes or liberties.
As to the general proposition, whether discip
lined or undisciplined troops be the best, for war
in general, it was not my purpose at that moment,
cither to discuss or to stateit. A body of volun
teers, kept long in the camp and field will be bet
ter disciplined, and therefore, more valuable for
any kind of war than regiments of regular re
cruits. For example; That is, in general, the
oldest corps, whether regular or volunteer, will
always be found the best instructed or the best
disciplined, and of course, the best prepared for
the ordinary purposes of war. The exceptions
are only found in wars which put homes and
liberties in danger, and in'thesc, militia suddenly
embodied, and even regiments of recruits, hastily
raised, have, in a very great number of cases,
been found an over match for science and discip
lined valor.
In conclusion, allow me to repeat from the
* heart, what I have substantially said to the War
Department:—
“No man can have for the Volunteers from
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisi-'
nna, whom I have had the honor to command, a
xhorfe cordial esteem than that I entertain. There
are hundreds and thousands of them, whom I
should be most happy to call friends; for I know
them to he generally men of high honour, patri
otism, inlel ligence and individual courage.”
Such are my honest sentiments, and I have
great pleasure in communicating them to one
whose conduct in the field, and whose courtesies
jto me on the present occasion, alike command the
high respect and esteem,
With which, I am Sir,
Your obedient servant,
WINFIELD SCOTT.

the Augusta Battalion of Volunteers.
“THE NEW YORK MIRROR.
The Mirror for the present week (says the New
York Evening Star of the 13th instant,) is admi
rable. Literary contents—engravings—music—
typography—paper—are all excellent. Among
Hie contributors we have Willis, Dunlap, Hrynrs
Knapp, Morris, Schroeder, Price, Fay, Somner,
Cox, and a host of other worthy- and well-known
knights of the quill.—The plate is by Smilie,
from a painting by Weir. It represents the High
lands of the Hudson river, and is an accurate, fa
miliar, and a glorious view of old Cro’ Nest, Cold
Spring, Newburgh, ,tc. A storm is just gather
ing in the sky-, throwing its shadow over tile sur
rounding scene, and the river-craft appear to be
making the best of their way to the nearest shel
ter, with all convenient speed. The foreground
otthis beautiful and animated picture, strikes us
as particularly well done. The original painting,
we noticed a few days since at the National Aca
demy of Design. It is unquestionably the host
landscape we have seen from the pencil of Weir.
Wc learn from the number before us, that the
subscription price of the Mirror has boon advan
ced one dollar. This is right, and wc arc glad of
it. We would never have forgiven the proprietor
had he curtailed the attractions of the paper, in
stead of increasing the price. He has acted wise
ly, and the public, wc feel confident, will sustain
him in his laudable exertions to increase the re
putation of the literature and fine arts of the coun
try. Five dollars a year is very little for the Mir
ror, which is certainly, to say the least of it, one
of the best and most interesting weekly journals
extant. The editors have given their reasons for
a strike, and, as in our judgment, they cannot be
controverted, we do a good nalured action, and
insert them at length. Every body at all inter
ested in the polite literature of the country, will
thank the proprietors of the Mirror for the course
they have adopted. There is a pleasant little gem
■of an article in the number under consideration,
written, wc believe, by Fay, called “ Literature
versus ginger pop,” which we commend to the
attention of the reader. We may extract it in a
slay or two, together with Bryant’s poem, the
■“ Strange Lady.” if wc can make room.”
“ Price of the .Yew York Mirror. —We arc
constrained to raise the subscription price of the
New York Mirror to five dollars per annum, and
we indulge the hope, that, when our friends arc
informed of the reasons which compel us to this
course, they will cheerfully acquiesce in its ne
cessity. From causes too numerous to mention,
■and too difficult to explain In detail, every thing
in the country has taken a rapid and extraordina
ry rise, not only the nccesilies, hut the comforts
and luxuries of life—personal labor, the manufac
ture of indispensable articles, agriculluial pro
•ducts, and so on, from the alpha to the omega of
•every thing connected with our political or do
suestic economy. Whether this arises from a
rapid increase of population—or from the present
unexampled stale of our national prosperity, the
blessings of peace, and an exemption from taxa
tion—from an increase of the metallic currency,
■or the influx ofhanks—we arc not political econ
omists sufficient to say ; but wc can reason from
facts, and leave our readers to judge from analo
gy. Thus it is: when we ventured upon the ex
periment of publishing the New York Mirror, the
price of printing-paper was four dollars per ream ;
now it is six dollars and a half. The cxpcnco of
printing is one-third more now, than when we
issued our first volumes. The engraving, includ
ing the printing and paper, then, cost one thou
sand dollars per annum j now, we expend four
thousand dollars on them. We had no musick
then ; now, we expend one thousand dollars per
annum on that improvement. Contributions to
the Mirror cost nothing for a long time after wc
began ; now, wc pay five thousand for literary
contributions. These items arc exclusive of rent,
clerk-hire and contingencies of every kind, which
have continued to increase until wc have been
compelled to ask ourselves these questions: “ Shall
we continue at four dollars and diminish the at
tractions of the Mirror; curtail tire amount paid
for contributions ; give one or two engravings pet
annum, of an inferior character; cut off our mu
sic; reduce our expenses; and, with this reduc
tion, diminish the interest of the publication 1 or,
ttn the contrary, shall wc not rather throw our
selves on the justice and liberality of our country
men, ask them to consent to the small, annual, ad
ditional tax required, and thus preserve the repu
tation of the paper, add to its merits, stricke out
new improvements, redouble our energies, increase
its interest, and make it more desirable—more
worthy of support than everl” The answer, wc
arc sure, our readers will make for us; and, at the
expiration ot the present volume, we will, with
their permission, advance the price to five dollars
—(an increase of not two cents a number)~~ and
which will scarcely meet the additional expenses
to which we arc subjected."
Capt. WniET, of the schooner Motion, arrived
yesterday from Bt. Johns, which place he left on
Monday last, informs us that the state of affairs,
with respect to the Indian depredations in that
quarter, is, at present, worse than ever it had been
before. The savages are now in the immediate
vicinity of Mandarin, on the east side of the river,
and near the road that leads from Jacksonville to
St. Augustine. George S. Motte, who had ar
rived but the Sunday previous from New-York,
where he has a mother and sister —was killed and
scalped, on Thursday last, at his settlement, about
2} miles from Maudarin; his house and store
burnt; his gun taken; but neither his watch nor
money touched. His body was brought into Man
darin the next day, and decently interred, by 12
men who volunteered their services for that pur-
pose. At the time of his death, Mr. M. had a boy
(half breed) living with him, who was so affected
y at the sight of his murdered master, that he took
le sick and died the same night. All the settlers in
n the vicinity of Mandarin »re leaving their places,
I where they had previously thought themselves sc-
I- cure. Mr. Hickman, who has a large plantation
d on the west side of the river, about ten miles from
it Jacksonville, becoming alarmed at the approach
o of the Indians, had sent his negroes to Jaokson
a villc, am! abandoned his place.— Charleston

The Abolition Report. —We should like to know
what part of the Report was written by Mr. Pinck
ney, and what by a young talented gentleman of
the North. We should like, for the gratification
of our own curiosity, and for the satisfaction of
the people of the South, to know how the thing
was dovetailed together. We should like to see
what the South put in, and how it was si,avail
down. We should like to know what was added
and what was left of the original. Above all, we
should like to know if the Chairman was the au
thor of the argument relative to the “ tantamount”
to tire “breach of faith.”
It would indeed be a curious sight to see the
Chairman of the Committee declaring his belief
(as he did in his place) that Congress had no con
stitutional power to abolish slavery in the District;
yet introducing a Report evidently atknowledging
that Congress has the power, and that tarilkrcise
it would only be a “breach of faith." TJ-m the

Louisiana Volunteers to-Texas. —The New

Louisiana Volunteers, that have returned from
Florida, have nobly resolved to extend their ex
ertions in favor of Texas; and will leave hero in
company wirlr others, under the command of
Gen. Green, to-morrow. The Orleans Greys,
under the command of Captain Crcery of Balti

About 3or 400 are expected to follow. These
with the forces under Col. Quitman, and those
expected under Gen. Green, will augment the
forces of Texas, so as soon to expel the Mexican
army beyond the Rio Grande.

which have been ordered by the War Depart

Cotton thread. —‘Very few of the thousands of
our country women who are in lire daily and con
stant habit of using the needle, are probably aware
that they are indebted for the invention of that
important article in the various works of domes
tic manufacture, cotton thread, to one of their
own sex—the wife, of the patriarch of American
manufactures, Samuel Slater. A writer in the
Woonsocket Patriot, stales that in 1794, while
spinning a quantity of Sea island cotton, the eve
ness and beauty of the yarn attracted the atten
tion ol Mrs. Slater, and the question arose whether
if doubled and twisted, it would not make good
sawing thread. The experiment was tried, and
in order to be fully satisfied with the result, a sheet
was made one half with linen, and lire other half
with cotton thread, and immediately pul into use.
The cotton wore the best, and the linen was the
first that was rent. From this period, Mr. Slater
commenced the manufacture of cotton thread, and
it soon spread into England, France, and all other
European countries, where it is generally sup
posed to he of English origin, though the credit
of the invention belongs almost entirely to an
! American matron.

Livxnrooi, Saturday morning, April 16.
*> As I stated on the Bth inst, the business of our
£ Colton market last week was got through witholit
1 spirit, and, though the sales amounted to about
J 20,400 bales, and, though speculators and export
- buyers took of this amount about 4000 bales, still
s were wo not able to maintain Our grorind; we lost
in price about $ per lb.
’ The sales from the 2d to the Bth inst. inclusive,
• as follow:—2840 Upland, 10$ a 12; 4750 Or
leans 8$ and 124 ; 2«50 Tcnricssee and Mobile
8$ a 12$ ; &c. Ac.—Total, 20,130 bales.
The purchases of speculators amounted to about
' 2200 bales American, and thdse of export buyers
amounted to 450 American. The supply of all
sorts ofColton into the ports of the kingdom since
the Ist January amounts to 335,000 bales against
350,000 received during the same period in 1835 ;
■ and from the United States we have received 214 -
i 000 against 280,000 bales.
' Wo opened this week in our market with pre
cisely the same dull feelings which pervaded the
I business of last week, and which dullness contin
'■ ued up to Thursday, on which day and yesterday
the demand unproved, and any thing wo lost ili
1 price in the early part of the week, has been re
gained. We therefore lot our quotations stand as
they are. The chief sales now making in Up
land, arc from 104 to 11$; in Orleans, "from 10$
to 11$ ; and in Mobile, from 10$ to 11$.
We thought from the smallness of our stock,
that the time had not yet arrived when our prices
were to be materially reduced. Wo think still
that the market for the present, ought to maintain
itself. Nevertheless if the Trade once take up
the belief thoroughly, that the supply lor the
whole year will be quite sufficient for all the de
mands upon it, they may give us ohbugh to do to
hold our own, even from the present time. We
rejoice to find that our friends generally have not
been induced to give the high prices demanded in
America, which are sure, sooner or later within;
the year, to load to a disastrous result.
