ALVARADO COTTON.
Mr. Editor.—1 have noticed with grout pleasure
the new specie!* of cotton which will ho such ft
profitable acquisition to the agricultural portion of
. cn . -iiuiai-ph fin* our romnnnitv.—Rising to the height of six or

Mr. J. I), flandry s tft.ire, in greater ubmidnWtlum the Vetit-flnlf, I think
the tituo is not fur distunt when it will ho preferred
bv cotton planters to every other kind. It is Well
known to every man who lifts any thing to do with
the culture of cotton, that in picking out the petit-
gulf, ii great deni offline is lost by the hands on ac
count of tho distance between the hells—this diffi
culty is remedied l»v the new species of cotton—
and it imnv firm belief that a negro can pick out
five pounds of the Alvarado cotton in the time that
ho could pick out four of the Vetit-iJnlf. This may
be considered l»v some as a rash assertion, but l am
warranted to believe it from the experience which
Ihavejiadin picking cotton. It has another ad
vantage which the Petit-gulf does not possess, viz:
it c .11 be planted very near together—so near ns
just to leave room for* working and picking it out.
These advantages must lie obvious to any one
who considers fora moment the nature of cotton
and tpe care and attention which tiro necessary in
the cultivation i f.t. The thin! and greatest ad-
vantige is that it ripens earlier than the Petit-gulf.
Indepeutleut of the considerations al»ovc mention
ed. this alone ought to ronqiicjid it to every cotton
grower, who does not wish to see hi* crop cut
short by the untimely frosts. I will close my re
marks with some advice to cotton planters, which
is briefly this. Never be opposed to any tiling be
cause it is new and interferes with old customs.
Do not console yourself with the reflection that
“daddy” got rich planting Petit-gulf, and I will fol
low “daddy V* trucks—but supply yourself with
seed ns soon as-possible, and 1 think you will nev
er regret the day when you planted the Alvarado

The Health ami the Weather.—There is no positive
improvement in either: Uie only favorable circum
stance we can note is, that Uio physicians manage
Uie disease much easier than formerly, and that
moat ofthe cases recover, if immediate assistance
is obtained. The yellow fever has laid n heavy
hand lately upon sonic of our old citizens, and such
as have been fool-hardy eilough to venture up
from Uie wateriug places. The weather is extreme
ly hud for the disease, and we seem ns far from rain
and frost as ever. From 3 until 7 A. M. however,
we daily experience on atmosphere similar to win-

A Norcl Face.—The St. Louis Bulletin gives
the following account of a mute race which cauie
ofl’ on Uie St. Louis course, on one of the regu
lar days of the late races:
Immediately idler Uie match race, nt the tap of
the drum, two mules came forward to try it, two
miles and repeat. Vide Pouche and Palmyra
were Uie names of tho two racers. Palmyra was
greatly the favorite, and his friends freely offered
two to one. He won the first heat with great ease,
and was evidently but little fatigued. Time, 0 7.
The odds were then still more in his favor, mid
cries were heard of. three to one on Palmyra. At
the tap of the drum away they went, Palmyra
ahead. He went at a killing puce for the first mile
und a half, Imt alas for his reputation the #tilks
came over him, and he made a quhIi for the fence
ity Uie vuiu hope of rubbing his rider off. It was
no go, and Palmyra took the studs in earnest. His
rider whipped and »purred whilst he backed, and
in Uie mean time little Vide Pouche kept steadily
at it, and went ahead, coming-out nearly 200 yards
ahead. Time, Gm. (is.
As Uie bents were broken, (there being no dis
tance,) the gallant umles rested Imt a few minutes
mid were saddled for another start. Vide Pouche
was now the decided favorite, and bets were offer
ed freely in his favor. Some of his townsmen
offered to bet six bit-* to three. At thc tap of tho
drum away they went for tiie third beat, Palmyra
ahead. They both went ut a killing pace, and
Vide Pouche* tried to pass on the first stretch, but
it was no go. Palmyra went ahead us before in
tine style for the first mile and a half, but he nguin
took into his head to rub Uie rider off against the
fence; and whilst he was engaged in this sido
work, Vide Pouche let himself out, nnd got too
fur ahead to be overtaken, lio came out fur be
fore inuid the shouts of his friends, shewing the
spectators thafUiere was better blood in Vide
Pouche tliaii people thought for. The third heat
was run in the extruordiuary short Uwe of 7 min
utes and 51 secouds.
General Jackson's Opinion.—In his message of
1836, President' Jackson Uius spoke of tiie plan
of locking Uie public moneys up in Sub-Treasu
ries:
“To retain it in the Treasury (said he) unem
ployed in any way is impracticable. It is consid
ered again*t the genius of mir free institution* to
lo?k up in vaults the treasure of the nation. To
take from dispeople the right of bearing arms,
und put their weapons of defence in the hands of
u standing army, would be scarcely more danger
ous to their liberties than to permit their Govern
ment to accumulate amounts beyond the supplies
necessary to its legitimate wants. Such a treasure
would doubtless be employed ut some time, as it
has been in other countries, when opportunity
tempted ambition.”
Here bra direct, unequivocal, open blow nt the
project of a Hub-Treasury, and the same person
who penned die above for h*uu cun, at this day,
and in his name, write a paragraph eulogizing the
Sub-Treasury to Uie skies.—JV. Y. Star.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce.
Manchester, Eng. Sept. 25, 1839.
The weather has been very fine since tiie.18th,
and the harvest has proceeded rapidly every where.
The injury, so fearful last week, seems utmost for-
S otten wiUi a clear atmosphere; j. rain is falling
uiiy, especially the poor quality, mid a few weeks
may show u very different state of prices and
overages—such a* bus often occurred under these
corn laws—but the present shippers of flour may
be those who have hud little experience in the
trade. There are some ex Hence* of a dear bread
in France; as some popular commotion has ap-
eured, arising from that- came.—Good bonded
or foreign wheat is offered to-day in Liverpool,
duty paid, 9s 9d. per 70 lbs. without finding
buyer*.
ito‘hsclii l ds& Co. have accepted the bills drawn
by the U. 8. Bank on Paris. The late Mr. Roths
child provided in his will that no loan should be
taken by bis heirs until after five years, without
the consent of James Rothschild and his widow.
Ofcourse their consent has been obtained in the
present case.
At this moment the English are jealous of die
Bank, and other American institutions, for intro
ducing so much paper in this country, and rejoice
privileges in-n selfish, and tyrannical manner. My
prediction of better times lias been defeated by the
injury the grain luis recently sustained.

Mr. Jaudoii has been compelled to jlrcsent him

Morrison & Co., Baring A Co., Palmer & Co.,
and several others, nil oi' whom hold largely on tho
U. S. Bank paper duo Oct. 9th. The directors
were four hours deliberating on the matter, nud
their fear* predominated,—not perhaps because
their own bill* (or rather During*’ for them) on
ilottingucrmight ho refined, but from an appre
hension of increasing the alarm that already exists.
Tho Bonk of England has to pay the October
di\ blend* about tho -ttli, say £6,000,000; und if the
large amount of specie coining in tbq.fl rent West

laps then be decided oil. The one and two pound

f iarent’y cut out of solid rofck, through which they
aid pawed many feet, which appeared to he 16 or
18 feet fcmure. Our informant was tho first tliat
entered tiie room, and he was not a little surprised
that the first object which met hi* eyes was a human
skiill, with all the teeth entire. Upon fnrtliercx-
omtnatiou,it was (baud that the whole place was
filled with skeletons of men, wotucil, mm children.
Under the small aperture through which they
descended the place won 'perfectly dry, nnd the
hones iu a state of preservation. An entire skele
ton ofthe human liody-wu* obtained. They con
cluded to examine how deep the hones laid, und
penetrated through them indue place between
Four and seven feet, but found then* equally plenti
ful os on the top; but there seemed to rise tin offen
sive effluvia us vhey approached where it was a
little damp. 'There was no outlet to the room,
and a largo snake which they found there, nnd
which appeared to he perfectly docile, passed
around the room several tunes w hile they were in
it. The discovery is a subject for the speculation
of philosophers with regard to the period and cir-
.cumstancco attending Un* ancient charnel-house.

Sagacity of the Horses—There are few of our
exchange papers tliat we rend with more pleasure
than the Peoria (Illinois) Register, and we pre
sume onr renders often participate in the gratified
tion, for we have frequently been indebted to it
for information respecting tho Western country.
Iu the lost number of that paper, among the
sketches of tho Editor’s travels in various part* of
the State, we find the following anecdote :
“ On our return homeward, 'Dr. C. related
some of his adventures on the prarics in the be
ginning of Ins practice in this country two or three
years ago. There were then scarcely half a
dozen plainly-travelled roads, and his practice nt
night* often led him into path* which it was im
possible to distinguish. Consequently, he would
oftun loose-his wuy, aud, after rambling about till
morning,mien finding himself some limes from his
pntient. The reader must remember that wo
have no lanes in our new country, or none to ex
ceed a few rod* in length, and that being upon i«
oniric ill a dark night, off a well-trodden path, a
like being in a boat upon the truckles* ocean,
without a star or compass. One’s horse on such
occasion* is his best guide, and he has.amplo scope
for the display of his sagacity. Were we to write
a chapter on brute instinct, l)r. C”u. horse should
have a most honorable plucc in it; for, from the
anecdotes which lna owner related, jte i* a most
remarkable animal. When Dr. C.,'overcome by
fatigue, has been unable to hold the reins, he has
often, when several miles from homo, thrown
himself down in tho bottom of his dearborn, aud
awoke not till his horse stopped nt his house door
iu town. At other times, in Jiis dniiy or nightly
rounds ewer upland and lowiatid { he has in like
manner yielded himself to tho unimal’s guidance,
and been taken from one house to another, with as
much accuracy as though ‘reiwoli was at \ho helm.'
We witnessed one instance : After leaving Rob
in's Nestj.Dr, C. had a call tq moke at Mr. Beall’s,'
one mile,distant, and half a liiileoffthe rood. ; He
had been there on the preceding day. At Uir
very pointWhere Dr. C. hud diverged from tin
roll'd.the day before, without a ly bidding, and tin
reins ly ing loo-c in the wagon, the bor e jtdniqj
Interesting (Jjirsfto.i—At a debating club, tho
question was discussed, whether there was more
happiness hi,lbo possession or pursuit of an ob
ject. “Mr. President,” said a young orator,
“suppose 1 was courtin’’ a young gal arid she was
to run away, and I was to run arter her, wouldn’t
I he appier when I cotched her thuu when I was
miming arter her?”
Information Wanted.—The editor of thortVhig
and /Egi*, at Haverhill,N. II., usks information
respecting hi* brother, Alexander If. Hayes, u
printer, vvlio left New Hampshire in 1828 for N.
York, since which time no intelligence has been
received from him. Brother printers, hunt him
up.—Methuen Gazette. ■
The tray they treat French Bakers.—No less than
149 bakers) residing in Ikiris und the batileiie,
were tried at the last session of tho Tribunal of
SimpleTolice, for selling bread under weight.
Sixty two wero sentenced to a slight penalty, and
87 to Uie liiaxiuni ofthe fine.
Singer's Ktcusc.—A famous musician who had
made his fortune by marriage, being requested to
sing jn company; “permit mo,” said lie, “to imi
tate the nightingale who never sings after he Imt*
niudq his nest.”
A Mr. Beaver, near Iiopkiiitou, Mass, while
squirrel limiting und climbing a tree, was killed
by his guu goiiij0iccideiilitlly oft’ aud the dis
charge severing the principal artery ofthe leg.
Quince Wines.—A delicious wine is made of
this common fruit, in the following manner.—
Take one qnnrt of the juice of quietices; mixed *
with one pound of sugur, and ferment.
Thunksukina.—The Governor of Maine bus
appointed the twouty-eighth of November to he
odserved ns ndoy of public tlrnnksgiving and pray
er in tluil state.

CONSTITUTIONALIST OFFICE, )
Auausrx, October 31,1839.. j
At the solicitation of many of our friends, re
siding* in this city and iu other parts oftlio slate,
we shall resume the publication of if daily pa-
per on the first of January next. For this pur
pose we have already ordered from the north,
new fonts of type, with other material* necessary
to present tho Constitutionalist to our subscri
bers in n new nnd becoming dress. We have
calculated llie expense, labor and industry requir
ed to carry through,successfully,such uu un lertuk-
mg: we have been prompted to it once more by
the necessity which,under existing circumstances,
and the present condition ofthe country, will be
felt most generally, for daily information of pass
ing events, whether of a commercial, ogricultu-
raj, or political hnturo. Though bowed down by
misfortune, and broken hearted by a calamity
which has swept ftrmn among us some‘of-onr
most respectable and useful citizens—frionds,
relatives and acquaintance—yet the characteristics
fortitude ofthe members ofour community,with
the natural resources ofour state, and ofour city,
especially, enable ns nil to meet with resignation
the dispensation of Divine“ Providence, and to
repair, by renewed exertion, industry and vigil
ance, die breach made in our prosperous condi
tion.
A paper which will aspire at being the
e feelings and hast interests of Urn ecu
of Augusta, Reconnected with (he prosperity of
the whole state, cannot fail, if conducted witli
zeal and industry, to be one ofthe active instru
ments employed to accomplish those objects
which every Georgian, & every friend of Augusta
must have at heilrt.
Our friends may rely on the high duties which
will bo thus imposed iipoit us and cheerfully as
sumed, being faithfully discharged. Tiie past
must be the guarantee of untiring and unremitting
exertions on onr part, to lendor oqr paper useful.
