JAPAN.—VISIT OF THE U. S. SHIP

A' WORD TO THE PLANTERS.
The flattering condition of the planter,
with the cheering prospect of a continu
ance,and perhaps; an improvement of his
good fortune, may induce him to extend'
the cultivation of Cotton the ensuing sea
son. The .experienceof the past, goes to
prove that such a. result has uniformly at
tended an advance in The price of the sta
ple, arid which has uniformly beer, fol
lowed bya corresponding depression: an
inevitable consequence of a glut of the
commodity in the market. That expe
rience will any more effect a remedy for
this mistaken confidence, than it has done
heretofore, we have no belief. The plan'
ter will go on to increase the culture of
cotton, for the reason that it hasadvanced
in price. The man who makes filly hales
of cotton this year,will strive to make a
hundred the next year, without stoping
to reflect-upon the consequences that will
most cerlainly followed the increase sup
ply.' The speculator studies attentively
the cotton estimates, (lie stocks on hand,
the receipts, consumption, See., and regu
lates his prices accordingly. Such con
siderations never occur lo the planter, and
he is governed by no rule or estimate,
peror explaining the objects of the visit, j other than the prices for which he sold his

THE COTTON CATERPILLAR.
We dannol too earnestly recommend
to all those engaged in the culture of cot-
t6n, the letter of the Hou. Thomas Spal
ding, which we publish this morning. It
contains strong internal evidence that he
has hit upon the only true method of
arresting the scourge which has so often
in these latter VBars blighted the hopes of
our planters. If this insect still lingers
about the cotton fields ready to awake
when spring advances, and commence
the work of another, season’s ravages, it
is all important for planters to know it,
that they may. on their paitput in opera
tion a regular system of destruction. It
is of little use to plant the seed, if the at
tacks of the caterpillar are to be renewed
each year. If a night of the most intense
cold, such as we had two or three weeks
since, does,not destroy these insects, it is
too clear that intense heat must do the
work.
Sai'Elo Islakd, Jan. 22. 1S47.
Gentlemen :—Some letters have ap
peared in the newspapers respecting the
caterpillar surviving liie winter either in
the butterfly or in the cocoon or chrysilis
state. The sole objection I can have to
THE IRON MOUNTAIN IN MISSOU-
' RI. ■ >,
The Iron Mountain proper is about a
mile and % ball long, and about one mile
broad—or rather more than a section of
land; while the Pjlot Knob is twice as
high as the Iron Mountains, but has not
as much surface. Here you travel upon
nothing but iron lumps as far as the eye
can reach; there you see the whole top of
the mountain terming one sheet of iron,
Here they have penetrated but ten feet
into the ground—the surface iron being
the United States, that.lhey were a flour
ishing and great nation, and'that he ho
ped they would continue to be prosper
ous, but declined any closer relations
with them. The only foreign trade that
would be allowed was with the Dutch and
Chinese. He hogged the ship would sup
ply herself with what she wanted speedi
ly, up anchor, be off, and never return.-—
Landing was disallowed, but the ship was
supplied with such as the country afford
ed, wood, water, poultry, eggs, and veg
etables, for which neither pay nor pres
ents were received in return. Nothing
like trade was allowed with the numer
ous visitors that came on board. Even
presents, of coin,! &c., that Jack gavi
some of the siiore people, were after
wards returned. The only productions
of the country obtained, were a parcel of
presents sent by the Emperor to the Com-
mqdore, which wete declined by him.—
The Jappanese officer having them in
charge dared not return without deliver
ing them, and us it was at the dusk of
the evening, he threw his packet into one
of the quarter boats and pulled ofT for the
shore as fast as possibe. There being no
way to return it, (lie contents were divi
ded among the officers, but they contain
ed nothing of much value or skill in
workmanship.
The adaptation of the supply to the
consumption is the grand desideratum.—
Politicians and merchants strive to main
tain balances of power anti trade, by which
they tegul;ite ainPeontrolnll their scheme;
all. too, large lumps—while On the Pilot
Knob, they have penetrated, on the sum-
iriit and al the base, at ieast 259 feet.—
The iron oife found here is of the richest
kind; it yields at least <50 per cent df pig
metal, and I saw but very few slugs ly
ing about the furnace. At St. Louis they
prefer the pig iron from the Iron Moun
tain to that of Tennessee. The compa
ny intend making, in a short time,.20 tons
per day, or 7,600 tons per annum. It
would pay a profit to export the ore to
the other States for smelting,'where fuel
is more abundant. The supply of the ore
in this region is inexhaustible.

four hundred and forty-four feet high, and

A NEW WAY TO RAISE cabbage.
We were presented the other day with
ahead of as fine cabbage as we ever saw,
by Rufus'. McDonald, Esq., of Adams
township. He Kad.a wagon load of them
and informed us that they were raised in
the following manner: , They were stalks'
that "didn’t head” last fall, but when pul
led, were set out in the bottom' of a deep
trench, prepared for the purpose; a slight
frame work of slabs or other material
was then built over them, and the whole
covered With earth, so deep as lo be a
protection against frost. In this position
they have grown all winter, and the heads
are'large, solid, and perfectly tender—
possessing,- in fact, all the qualities of the
very finest cabbage. Squire McDonald
informs us^bal be has’been in the habit,
for many years, of raising his, cabbage
lot spring use in this way, and that he
would prefer that one hall of his crop
should be without heads in the fall, as
those raised in litis way are better for
spring use nud never fail. Stalks with
out heads are generally regarded us val
ueless. We name the fact that others
may avail themselves of a process at once
so simple and so valuable ; and we thank
Squire McDonald for the information.

STARVATION IN IRELAND.
Late accounts from Europe represent
(lie Condition of the Irish poor as frightful.
From one end of Ireland to the other, des
titution and misery-is terribly apparent.
An American now travelling through that
unhappy country, writes to a friend in
New York thus of the condition and pros
pects of the unfortunate Irish :
“You know how obstinately incredu
lous I was on the subject of the suffering
in this country. I have seen with my
own eyes, and I am more than conv inced.
The truth is horrible—far beyond (what
I thought) the wildest published state
ments. Such sights, as have shocked my
eyes for this week past here, [in the west
of Ireland,] such gaunt and hollow-eyed
humanity—such dreadful death. Gov
ernment appears to be really doing what
it can ; but even its gigantic powers are
frightfully inadequate. There are at this

the operations of the week ending on the

a remarkably active one hi the grain mar

SI to$1,25 cents per bbl., and the sales'
which are principally for European ex
port, have amounted to fully 100,000 bills
—the market closing yesterday al S6,25
to $6,50—Ohio brands. The rise hi corn
is even greater; the sales nre over 230,-
000 bushels, nearly all to shippers, the
closing rate being $1 per bushel, which is
15 to20 cents higher titan last week, nnd
