•1 We are assured that the cotton was cultivated,
leked and ginned by Mr Effeun precisely as he

commanded are attributable to its intrinsic merits,

I Fk m Kansas Startling Km port—Deputy
Marshal Woods Hung hy Old Brown.—A gen
tleuiau who arrived in this <i y last evening brr gs
a fitartling rumor from Kansas, from which Territo
ry he hai come direct.
He statesthat when he left Shawnee, which wan
ou Saturday last, the 6th 111 st , there was a rumor
current that Brown, who had been blockaded in
some leg huts, near Nebraska, and was relea-ed by
a force of the Free State citizens of Kansas, had
afterward met the Missouri p'sse, under the direc
tion of l)r Woods. Deputy Marshal, whom Brown
captured, and immediately hung.
Our informant reached Westport on Sunday,
where the same rumor had preceded him, causing
considerable sensation.
Mr. Smith, the well known hotel keeper, in West
port, was of the opinion that Dr Woods ha 1 not
been hung, although he believed he had been made
a prisoner by Brown.
Judge Campbell was Smith’s authority for tbe
whole statement
It is thought, if the report is true, that Brown has
hung Woods, that the citizens of Platte City will
wreak their vengeance on Mr. Doy aud hi* sou.—

Ratiocination —An incident in the natural his
tory occurred in Williamsport, Blair county, Pa.,
a few days since, that goec far to prove that rats
can reason. If i were nut authenticated by per
sons whose word cannot b-> doabted, it would stag
ger us. Tbe workmen ia the machine shop ot Mr.
Wm. G. Huyett of Wild* m<burg, noticed a large
and apparently venerable rat is.-u from a hole in
the wall, and proceed along to the turning lathe,
where hung, by a wire, a bottle of eoft grease or
oil, such as is used about the lathe. His ratship
proceeded to inspect the t oltle, and examine it
with Lis nose and paws ; but finding that on account
of its long and narrow neck, the contents were be
yond his reach he seemed a good deal puzzled how
to get at it. Finding his a priori efforts to per
suade the bottle to yield its contents unsuccessful,
he sorted to wl.at might be called tbe arguuientun
a posteriori lie actually ran his long tail down
the neck of the bottle, and tnen withdrawing it,
hoked from tbe aforesaid caudal appendage its
ooatiug, and theu repeated several times the in
genious process, until the luugh and noise ot ti e
amused spectators alarmed him. Does not tills
look like reason—invention f Let naturalists ex
plain; we cannot. But of the fact there is no
doubt. We scarcely think the most cunning hu
man toper oould not think of a more ingenious
method of re-lat/-ing the cue'ents ot a bottle

—the ex Emperor was escorted by Captain McCrea,
Captain of the Artillery, the French Consul, with a
strung escort of the guards of the Presidents. I
can t say if the Governor made his escape from the
Consulate, on board the “Melbourne;” popular in

On Saturday last, the transport Melbourne,
which had left this port days before with troops

turned having on board the ex-Einperor, his family

Ou the landing of the party the greatest excite
ment prevailed in town, particul&iiy among the
Haytien refugees expatriated by Solouque at and
since bis acceseion, some of whom, it is believed,
meditated violence to hi;! person; but we should be
son y to know that any of them would violate the
sacredness of That refuge to which, iu the time of
peed, they themselves had to seek protection,
W ha’ever Solouque might have been in his own
couutry. and whatever cau-e his exiled countrymen
might have to feel exasperated at him, ho is now
under the protection of the Biitsih fisg, which, by
the blessing of God. we trust will ever wave over
this island, and save us from the horrors of a war
of races, wh.ch appears to bo the destiny of these
Islands when left to govern themcelvea.
Tne black people here, are, to a man, in favor of
Solouque, as may be inferred from the demonstra
tions tuey made upon his landing. They rushed in
thousands along toe streets to gain a sight of him—
so much so, that a strong eecort of the police had to
be employed ty kiep off the crowd whilst the e-x-
Emperor and party were proceeding to their lodg

A Te Deum was (haunted at the new Roman

The Wanderer.
We find tbe following in the correspondence of
the New York Herald, from an officer ou board a
U. 8. ship of war, now ou the coast of Africa :
“ October 11th, the duy after leaving Arabrize,
we had a chase after a large schooner off Snake
Head, under suspicious circumstanced. She beat
U 9 sa ling, however.”
“ We learn here that the captaiu and men of the
Wanderer, whilst out here, wore the uniform of the
Now York Yacht Club—assuredly a piece of bad
taste upon the business they came for. There is no
doubt, but that the Wanderer got safely off with her
cargo—a comment upon our fleet sailing that we
could not nab her.”
“ Old dull sailing veseois are entirely useless.—
Only the other day wo fell in with a very euepicious
schooner, after whom we crowded all sail by the
wind. We were going knots, and yet she left us
as though we were at ar.cbor, eating us out of the
wind with ease, sparing us Ler gaff topsaiia and fly
ing gib.”
“After remaining on the coast some time, we be
gan to think we would have nothing to do, when,
one morning, word was brought us that the Wan
derer was loading with slaves. The Vincennes, after
fifteen days of preparation, was despatched to in
vestigate the matter. We soon learned that the
VVauderer was between us and the Vincennes, hav
ing had the hardihood to appro, oh within sixty miles
of our anchorage and to anchor off Ambrize.
“Ou being duly provided therewith, we sat eail
for Gobito Bay, with the view of spending ajc juple
of days for the purpose of allowing ample time for
the Wanderer to get her cargo of negroes ou board,
so that when we captured her there should be the
strongest proof of her character. But, upon our
approach to the mouth of the bay, there was no sigu
of eveu a boat there. Leaving our ship riding
Hafely a mile distance from the land, the barge, gig
and whale boat sailed with their respective occu
pants, duly aimtd v. ith knives and guns ‘for protec
tion,’ into ihe hay ou an exploring expedition.
“After remaining a day we sailed for Ambrize.
On arrhing there, we found that the Wanderer had
never been there, but had already sailed from the
Congo with a cargo ot slaves.”

Britannic Majesty’s steamer Viper, on or about tie
11th or 12th October, 1859.
As I am not to meet with Flag-Officer Cos rover

it important that tho facts as appearing >n these pa
pers should be communicated to toe Department
as early as possible, I forward copies of a report I
have prepartd for the commander-in chief cn this

I trust that my reasons for this direct communi

Statement of Peter Caldina.
I shipped! for the American brig Kufui Soule,
Captain Andereou, at Mat an 7. as, on the 9th of July,
and sailut, as I understood, for Fernanda Po. Just
signted Cape de Verd Islands, and the next land
we made as the African coast near to Banda Point.
Soon after we saw a steamer coming toward us,
and she sent a boat The captain of the steamer
Viper aid another officer with him came aboard;
they asked for papers, and mustered the crew and
questioned us ail about where we belonged. I was
at the wheel and hetrd tne captain of the Viper tell
Cap’aio Anderson that he would give him one hour
to make up his mind, and if he did not deliver his
vessel he would take her in tow ; and the captain
returntdon loar.l bis own vessel, leaving the other
officer with us In half an hour the order was given
for the English to open the hatches. I then saw for
the first time that our flag had been hauled down.
The E lglish officer then waved his handkerchief to
the Viper, aud the captain of the steamer catne
aboard.
The batches were opened, and he then ordered ns
all to get owr clothes ready to go on board the steam
er. Afterward they brought from the brig all her
sails and small stores. The brig was set on fire
about 7 o'clock ia the evening, and was burning all
night. In the morning eeveral shots were fired at
her before she went down. I heard it said by some
of thecrew of the Viper that she was burned because
they had no men to send away in he , and that they
had orders to burn one out of every three vessels
taken. We got under way iu the afternoon, and
were larded on the beach of Kabenela. If the Vin
cennes hgd not oome in, I don’t knew how we
could have lived- I told the English officer that I
wa. an American citizen

to furnish facts in relation to the capture and de
struction by fire of the bng Rufus Soule, on the 11th
and 12th of this mouth, to the Southward of Rebe

on the following points, to wit
First —If she had the American flag flying when
visited by your boat ?
Second —Were her papers found correct ?
Third—ls the American dag was still flying when
her hatches were opened, audit not, tinder what
circumstances, and when it was hauled down ?
I ask these questions because I have information
that the Rufus Soule was captured by the Viper.

Sunday, Ootober 23,1858. j
Sir ; I hare the honor to acknowledge the re
ceipt of your letter, dated the ‘did of October, rela
tive to the capture of a brigantine called the Rufus
Soule containing three categorical questions.
First—Had the vessel the American flag dying at
the time she was visited by the boat 7 Answer
She had the American dag flying ; and from infor
mation from the British government, dated the Stb
and 22d of Juiy last, there was very iust cause to
believe that In this case a fraudulent see of the flag
was being made, and that the vessel was engaged
in the slave trade. consequently she was visited.
Second—ls her papers were correct. Answer—
in my opinion they were incorrect, some of them
undoubtedly so. .
Third—ls the American flag was still flying when
the hatches were opened. Answer—the American
flag was not flving when the vessel's hatches were
opened. The'flag and papers were thrown into tne
sea by the captain, without even a suggestion on
mv part. I have the honor to be, See., Ac.,

Eds. Southern Cultivator—A short time since. I
sent you a communication enclosing £- for a c*ub

hope you have, ere this, received, and that our
“Cultivators,” pregnant as usuxi with rich and in
teresting matter, are speeding on to gladden tne

ded to) and sj very well pleased with it, that I im
mediately subscribed, aud Lave b**en a constant

what is ten times the worth to us, of ta subscrip

invaluable. Tbe first article of this, the February
number, the only article we have had time to read,
headed “ Hints for the Month,” embraces informa
tion of importance connected with the plantation,
the vegetable, orchard, fruit, aud flower gardeus,
aud if read by the must experienced farmers and
horticulturalistfl, would be so esteemed. Che con

no time for a more extended notice. W commend

Horrible Brutality.—A revolting case of
brutality and ill-treatment in a neighboring town
has just come to our knowledge. An informant
states that a colored boy named John Dolrt, was
bound out some time since by the managers of a
New York Asylum to Mr. Eli Bennett, of South
port, and that he h.°*s been treated by that person
with great cruelty ar.d inhumanity. The boy says
that during the cold spell iu January he was made
to go without shoes and was allowed but few
clothes—and in consequence of this, both his feet
and hands were badly frozen. The doctor who now
attends him thinks lie will lose all his fingers at the
second joint, and all hia toes. The boy also says he
was stripped naked, h isted up by his hands and
flogged with a horse whip. The appearance of hia
back is sufficient testimony of this, for we are told
that it is literally cut up After bring dealt with

A Fraud on the State of Illinois.—Our cor
respondent from Sprinfield disclose a startling
fraud, of a number of years’ standing, by which
the State baa been gouged out of a considerable
sum of money, amounting to about $106,000. The
fraud was accomplished by means of forged canal
fund checks issued ten years ago. The whole
amount of genuine checks, with the exception ot
some S3OO, had been funded by the State, when
now up turn checks to au additional amount of
$106,000. Whether these last checks, which have
been funded, are the lorged ones, or whether some
of those that had beeu previously funded were the
bogus ones, remains to be ascertained by the com
mittee of investigation to whom the matter has
been referred. The discovery is certainly Astound
ing, and too late, it may be, to detect and punish
the forger or recover the amount out of which the
State has been delrauded The value of the bills
of the State B ink of Illinois at Shawneetowu whose
circulation ia partly based on these canal bonds,
will cot be affected by this disclosure. —Chicago
Journal.
Chicago, Feb. s.—Tbe Journal's Springfield cor
respondent telegraphs that it is understood that up
on an examination, ihe canal check? which were
reported spurious are really genuine, but were nev
er cancelled, and by some meant’, after being pre
sented at the bank, nave been purloined and put in
circulation again. Some of the persons summoned
by the committee of investigation have arrived
here, and the examination will be proceeded with
immediately.
St. Louis, Feb. 6—Dispatches from Springfield
say that tbe loss to the State, by the recent discov
ered canal checks, will amount to $210,000. Mr.
Matteßon has written to the Senate committee, call
ing fora full investigation, and auks that a suit be
instituted against him in the Circuit Court.
The Re building of the Mechanical Bake
ry.—While the ruins of the Mechanical Bakery are
still smouldering, we are glad to learn that steps are
to be immediately taken which will probably reeult
in its re-establishment. During the few days that
it was in operation, the business very -apidly in
creased, and at this rate the full capacity of four
hundred barrels of flour per day would eoou have
been reached.
We are informed that the bakers of this city
charge $0 72 for converting a barrel o£ flour into
tread. The price charged at the Meohanical Bake
ry was $3 29 per barrel—a saving ot $3.43 to the
consumers on every barrel. Statistics show’ that
over three hundred thousand barrels ot flour per an
num are consumed in this city and the immediate
\icinity. Tb ; s, converted iuto bread by tbe old
p occftS, w Til J c at, $2,016,0011; and by the Mechan
’ca! Bakery, $987,000 —a saving of $1,029,000 per
annum to the pubi.e. This saving is accomplished
by the concentration of a large amount of business
in ‘es abliehmer.t, aDd a consequent reduction
in the price of bread being temporary, as even the
lowest rate will still leave a large profit to the man
ufacturer.
We are informed that Mr. Russell, being unable
to rebuild after having sustained so heavy alone,
and following the suggestion of eeveral of our citi
zens who are interested in the subject, has consen
ted to the organization of a stock company. It. is
proposed that the capital stock shall be $290,1100,
and $25,000 has already been subscribed by Mr.
Russull. The amount will be amply sufficient to
erect a fire-proof building, and to procure at! the
necessary machinery for baking four hundred bar
rels per day. —Boston Advertiser.
The Death of Mrs. Wordsworth.— TLe En
glish news, published yesterday, briefly noticed the
decease of Mrs. Wordsworth, the widow ol the well
known poet. The London News says :
•• There was something mournful m the lingering
of this aged lady—blind, deaf, and bereaved in her
latter years—but she was not mournful any more
than ene was insensible. Age did not blunt her
feelings, nor deaden her interest iu the events of the
day. It seems not so very long ago that she said
that the worst of living in such a place (as the Lake
district) was its making one unwilling to go. It
was too beautiful to let one be ready to leave it.
Within a few years the beloved daughter was gone,
and then the aged husband, and then the son-in
law, and then the devoted friend, Mr. Wordsworth’s
publisher, Mr. Mekon, who paid his duty occasion
ally by the side of her chair ; then she became blin i
aad deaf. Still her cheerfulness was indomitable.”
Spontaneous Combustion of Coal. —A remark
able instance of spontaneous combustion Las taken
place at the worki of the Chartered Gas Company,
Brick-lane, Loudon, by which several hundred tons
of coal will be greatly depreciated in va!.:e, if uot
rendered comparatively worthless. It appears th.".’
tho company have always a;i enormous stock of
oral on hand, and it is supposed that a quantity of
wet coal had been stowed unobservadly amongst
the dry which has oaused the latter to heat, result
ing in the ignition of the enormous mass, which,
although it has not burst into flame, is smouldering
away internally. The loss occasioned by the com
bustion will exceed JC IOOO, aad it was not expect
ed that the fire would be completely subdued for
weeks.

Diszased Swine —Mr. Dewitt Fields informs
the Darlington (S. C .) Flag that ”a disease has ap
peared among his hogs which proves very fatal.
The presence of the malady is indicated by the
j swellingof the mouth and tongue, the latter pro
I trod’ng from the month and cracking. The disease
makes its appearance very suddenly, and the hog
dies in a very short space of time. On account of
j its resemblance in some respects, to the black
! tongue, he has tried the remedies which proved
■ most suocesetui in checking that disease, but they
have all failed. The hogs which have been attacked
so far, are those which have been in the range.
The Cherrt Creek Mines — Mr Lau
ranee, an old Californian, just returned from Caerry
Creek, brings the most cheering accounts of the
prMpeets at the mines. He eetimat is the amounts
of dust in the bands of the miners at Denver city,
at from #15,U00 to $20,000. No sales were made
for less than s2l) per ounoe. The organization of

The Cincinnati Price Current os the 9th contains the
following advices fiom the agricultural districts which
will be interesting to our counneicial readers :
During the last rnoatli or six weeks wo have received
a large number of letters from ad sections of the West
ern States, and though the chief topic alluded to iu toe
letters was hogs and their products, yet a vast amount
of valuable iulormation has communicated inci
dentally. We cannot make room for even brief extracts,
but will endeavor to condense what wo have learned in
a few paragraphs
The complaints regarding the scarcity of corn are
general from all sections—even in Tennessee and Ken
tucky it is not plenty, but in some parts of those States,
particularly in Western Kentucky, complaints are made
of a scarcity. In this State the supply is light, and few
willing to b.*ll any until the spring comes, and a fair
prospect cf food for stock. In many place* In Indiana,
chiefly those sections whore the land is flat, with a clay
soil, farmers, in many cases, did not succeed iu raising
enough to meet thei wants, and are now necessitated to
buy at prices ranging from 60 to 80c. per bushel, which
are the rates current in tnat State according to locality.
On dry rolling soils the crop was about two-thirds an
average, but the bottom lauds on the lower Wabash
wore in many places waste, and it was only here and
there any was raised.
Jn Illinois, except on the bottom lands, there was
about five eightnsof a crop, as regards yield, buc a con
siderable quantity of bottom land on the Illinois River as
well as the fiat ad clay lands produced nothing but
weeds. Prices rale from 40 to 75 cents per bushel in the
interior of that State according to locality. Some farm
ers had fair crops, and there is also some old corn still
on h*nd, but there is a general indisposition to sell at
present, at the current rates.
In lowa the supply is moderate, but the failure of oth
er crops in the state maxes corn the only available
food, and consequently it is caretully economised, aud
parted with sparingly and reluctantly. The same re
marks will apply to Missouri. In Wisconsin the corn
crop was short and supply is light.
As regards wheat, we heard no serlou3 complaints of
a scarcity from Tennessee, Kentucky, this State, In
diana, or Southern Illinois, all the letters reporta fair
stock still in tanners’ hands, but that there was a gene
ral indisposition to sell at the carrent rates—6o to 80c.
per bushel according to locality—the belief being gene
ral that 8L per bushel and upwards would be obtained
in the spring. The groat falling off in the receipts at
Chicago being regarded as strung indications of high
prices.
From lowa the complaints of a scarcity of wheat are
marked and general; the yield in that btate is repre
sented as being ftom four to seven < ushels per acre, and
the quality very inferior, a great portion of it almost
worthless, and not fit for human sod. In the Northern
counties of Illinois this crop proved a bad failure, aud
Very general complaints are made of a scarcity ; indeed,
spr.ng wheat generally failed, aud as a cmsequence
where this is the kind ►own, the quantity gathered is not
only small but inferior.
Wears inclined to believe, taking the whole Wett to
gether, the supp y of wheat yet to come forward is lair,
and with no large loreign demand there will be am ,1c
to meet the home demand, even at moderate prices.—
There Is a large quantity of flour held by mi.lers, who
have been ant cipating better prices, aud this, too, must
con*, on the market sooner or later.
Our letters say that the supply of fat hngi to come for
ward during the spi ing and summer months will be un
usual y bmll, but we fi :d that iu some places iu Illinois
inferioi wheat was being fed to them. The probability
is that the very expectation that hogs in the spring will
be scarce, will lead to extraordinary exertions lo feed
and take care of ihem. and thu the supply will be larger
than is auticipated. Potatoes, generally speaking, wore
not over one-third, as compared w.th the crop of 1657.
Hay, a fair crop, and saved in good oonditlon. The liun
garian grass is generally praised, whertver it has been i
introduced.
As regards the yield of corn general disappointment >i
expre sed. About the t me it was matured farmers
thought the yield wou dbe good, but when it was gath
ered it was discovered that the number of ears on the
stalks was less than usual, and the yl Id coosequ n iy
not ss good as had been expocted. Weallu ed lo tuia
fact, nowever, in December, at the time we became
satisfied this was so.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 9 —Cotton —Our last report
closed upon an unsettled market, and on Saturday still
greater dullness prevailed, as parties generally were
awaiting later European advices, and only a tew buyers
came f >rward, wbo took barely 3000 bales. On Monday
there was still a disposition generally to await the for
eign advices, whch were past due, but with an accom
modating market buyers were found for about 6500
bales. Yesterday the advices so anxiously looked for
were before the public, and did not prove of a character
to aid our market. Buyers came forward to but a mod
erate extent, and mostly with lower offers than holders
generally were willing to submit to. Under these cir
cumstances the business was confined to about 5000
bales, at irregu ar prices, but generally at a full $ cent
decline from our previous figures, in the Middling and
lower grades, while the rates for the better descriptions
are about maintained, owing to tbeir comparative scarci
ty. The sales of the three days sum up 14,000 bales.
The receipts at this port s.uce Ist September, (exclu
sive of the arrivals from Mobile, Florida and Tex*) are
1,260,185 bales, against 914,690 Dales to same date last
year. In the exports from the United States to foreign
countries, as compared with the same dates ! nt year,
there is an iucreaseof 230,612 bales to Gref of
1C8,336 to France, and of 103,789 bales to other foreign
ports.

OBITUARY.
Died January ‘284, of Apoplexy, Mrs. CAROLINE
SIBLEY wife of the late Amory ftlbley, aged fifty sU
years and 10 months.
The sudien death of this Christian, Mother and
friend, has fl.led man/ hearts with anguish Her ass c
ttona*e aud self-sacrificing nature, won from her chil
dren the moat devoted and reverential love. With ac
quaintances her cordial manners and genial smile al
ways made her presence we come, and the lovely vracep
of her character endeared her to many friend*. Tne last
ten years of h-r life had been thickly strewn with heavy
sorrows : a beloved husband, a darling son, and three
lovely daughters, Lad been taken from the arms of her
earthly love yet, with the true spirit of Christian re
signation, and and she fulfill tne dat es of life to her remain
ing ‘ hUdren and iriend.s With the blcom of health on
her cheek and its elasticity iq ht-r step, she gave j romlse
of long blessing with her pres* nee he homes and h arts
es those who so dearly ioweu her But, H - who roMh
the hosts of Heaven and among the children of men, die
creed otherwise—with the beginning of the Sabbath ffie
death angel smote her, and with tbe close of that hoiy
day her glorified spirit, freed from the *• eartbiy bouse
of tins tabernacle,’’ soared to that “ building of God,’’
that “house not trade with hands, eternal Lu the
Heavens.’* b****.
The grief of many hearts may tell,
Best what thou wert, for word• are vain,
But our au loss wt know fuu well
Is thy immeasurable gain.
Tho grief was thine, heart-wringing grief,
T hon did’nt not sink beneath its weight;
Serenely calm in the belief.
That heavenly wisdom rul'd thy fate.
Thy gentle mein, thy sunny tmile,
The kindness that did always blend
With a’l thy words and deeds the while,
Gain’d lor thee many a loving friend—
But, oh ! thou th ju sainted one,
Tlo’ tnou ha*t reach’d that blissful shorA
Tho’ Heaven another angel’s won,
Tho’ thou’st n*-ar tbe Eternal Thro. k,
Where earth’s deep engulsh wounls no u
Still weeping, we must Jong thy cne
deplore. ‘
