No injuries other than frost rumors are noted, and the weather has been desirable for ripening and picking. So fur the crop looks as well as it did at oui last issue; but that it will be short of last year admits of no question, and liovv far short, whether 200,0000 r GOO,OOO bales, public opin ion is at vnrinnee. About 5,000,000 bales with an ordinary picking season, has more supporters than any other figure, although there are many who look upon 3,200,000 bales to 5,300,000 bales is quite possible. To make the latter figure we would require a picking season equal to the last, and the chances are ! certainly against it.” Such statements as tuo above, sent out by parties making great pretensions to an extra store of knowledge of the condition of things of which they are totally ignorant, will account, to seme extent, or the condition of the mark ets on the other side of the water.

MINISTRY OF Pl'llMC WORKS, CoMMEUfK A.M> IX DI’STRY. NO. 415, RESPECTING CiIMMEIM'E. Illustrious Sir: The shortness of i lie grain crop, especially of wheat, and the consequent advance of prices in our markets, give some apprehensions as to the subsistence of our country. Our circumstances compel us tocn deavor to lower the prices of food in the mar kets of Portugal by means of importations on a large settle, from those countries in which a large crop of grain has been gathered, in order that a reduction in tlie present prices may be attained. For the purpose of stimulating the impor tation of grain into Portugal, where it is now scarce, it will lie very necessary that your Ex cellency should give notice to the commerce of your port of the law of 5d July last, and the decree of the sth inst., published in num bers 156 and 184 of the official Journal. In virtue of said decree there will be admit ted, until tlie 50th of July 1857, importations of various kinds of cereals in grain, and of flour, rice, potatoes and benns. For the information of those that may ven ture I state the prices in this market on the 22d inst., viz: Wheat—l,ooo in 1,100 reis per algueire. Barley—4Bo to 520 reis per algueire. Indian Corn —500 to 600 reis per algueire. I also expect that V. E. will advise me with out delay of the quantities and qualities of the cereals that may be exported from your market—its price, mode of exportation, ex pense of shipment, and freight to the various ports of Portugal, in order to give due notice to commerce and obtain the object the Govern ment has in view. God preserve your Excellency. Gera of Commerce and lndusty, 23d of Au gust, 1856. JOAQUIM LAVEHEZ. To the Illustrious Vice Consul of Portugal. New Orleans, La. Kansas Emigrants—A Picturo. The St. Louis Republican of the 27th of September, gives the following picture of the condition of returning Kansas Emigrants: The misguided emigrants who crowded to Kansas early in the spring continue to leave the territory in all directions. They arc to be met in scattered companies, looking half starv ed sickly and miserable. Many of them hav ing spent all their money, have gather ed op their little effects, and crossed the 1 river to lowa, on their way to their homes, or to locate themselves in some secluded corn er of the wilderness, or patch of prairie, where they will be at peace. Every boat which comes from the Missouri has among her passengers some of these pco- I pie. We saw them once before in early spring, when they went up the river, with money in : their pockets, hope in their hearts, health in their blood, and ibe world before them. They were then in companies of hundreds ; they hud family circles, ami looked happy; they took quarters in tho cabins of steamboats, and partook of the luxury of repose ntul a plenteous table. They were thrifty looking i emigrants, bo would and > honor to any new country. We now . >e them in squads ,1 tern and : twenties—crippled, sickly and apparently poverty stricken—crowded upon the decks of steamboats, almost begging their way back to ihe homes they left but u few months before. And civil war in Kansas has wrought all this mischief—doomed many a hopeful heart to de spair an 1 death, and embittered the lives of hundreds more whose piteous stories the world will never kno”. The steamci New Lucy, from 81. Joseph, last evening br tight down three or four fami lies of U'nse people, natives of Kentucky. They had travelled from Kansas to Jefferson Uitv on foot, having lof; the Territory to save thc-ir lives, ami being ai.uid to approach the river at a nearer landing, lest their progress should be intercepted. They were destitute when they cached Jefferson City, having scarcely any clothing, and not the wherewith to bu\ food. One won. in had nothing on her person hut a tattered under garment and a blanket, and •verul others of the company v.ii.* iu little better condition. They all looked sickly and dispirited, and made at< ucli iug tableau of misery and dsspair. The cabin passengers on the New Lucy be haved uobly towards them, and a purse oi'§4o was made up for their benefit. The officers of the boat gave thorn their passage, an 1 provid ed them with what comforts they could during the trip. Tho money will be used for the pur chase of clothing, to enable them to continue their way back to their homes in respectable ha biliments. Some of them last evening were car rying quantities of bread and other provisions aboard the boat. We saw one boy who had as much bread and dried beef as he could carry, which he said had been given to hint by some generous dealer iu provisions. These scenes are now of every day occurrence, and we, chroniclers of passing events, are pained to have them to record. AFFAIRS IN KANSAS. < Iw>n<l. ji, <- el tin’ St. fcooi* Ki-piililiciin. Westport, Sept. 17, 1856. Flight of Law — Dint'mintin'/ oj Reid's Altai/ — (/or. deanjx Aeiirity — lam: aw! Order J're rails. The army reached Franklin on Sunday night, 14th, and went into camp. The next day Gov. Geary came down, and a council was held with all the officers of the army. Gov. Geary at once requested that Gen. lleid should comply with his proclamation, which is here with sent. Tho council was held in tho storehouse of l)r. Skillick, whom the abolitionists robbed of all his goods and 85,060 in money, and who is himself now lying at the point of death from sickness brought on by their outrageous treat ment of him. Gov. Geary rose and spoke. Ho addressed the council in a mild and gentle manly manner, and told them what lie wished. He wanted them to disband and go home, and should he need their services and find the force at his command inadequate, lie would call them out, and Gen. Smith would enroll them ; that he was determined to enforce the laws, to put down the villains and eiusli out Lane’s army of marauders, as he properly styled them, it was his desire, as well as his determination, to establish peace and secure every man his rights and property. He urged those pnesent, by all that was dear to them and sacred to patriotism, to comply, remark ing, that “ although held iri a board house, the present was the most important council since the days of the Revolution, as its issues involved a dissolution of the Union it pro duced.'’ General Atchison made a characteristic speech. He reviewed the ravages of Lane’s men, the outrageous conduct of the abolition ists in ill” ing away pro-slavery men from the Territory, and concluded by tying that it was a painful duty—but yet a” duty he could not evade—to comply with the request of the Gov ernor. He said he was not prepared, though lie diflerid with the Governor, to resist his authority—•• that to me ihe time had not come yet: he hoped it would not come; but he (Gov. Geary) would have to be successful be yond all expectation, if lie did not find himself greatly deceived, and that a different policy would have to be pursued. He would retire to itis borne at Atchison, and await patiently a result which lie feared the Governor would never witness—that of bringing Lane and com pany into subjection to the law without whip ping them. General Reid said that he came to Kansas front Missouri—it was useless, and lie did not wish to deny that—to aid those who were bone ot his bone and ile.-lt of his flesh, in con quering a peace that would secure liberty in 1 prosperity to them, lie came and found that there was an Executive in the Territory wil ling and able to afford ids friends ample pro tection in botli; and even if lie could not af ford them protection, it was not for hint to re sist the laws, and make himself a traitor; he would not do it. He wanted to see the abo litionists put down, and believed, as lie hoped, that Gov. Geary would do it. To resist him would be placing the pro lavery party in the \ very position which they denounce the aboli i tionists for occupying. Col. Titus. Mr. Hughes, Col. Voting, Gen. Clark, Capt. Shelby and others spoke. Col. Titus referred feelingly to ids treatment at the hands of Lane. They wounded him, robbed him, burnt his house down, even took and kept the oil painted portrait of his wife’s mother, who is dead. Col. T. is from Florida, and canto out last spring, bringing his family, [n her iar oil home, Mis. T. valued as very pre cious the portrait of hei dead mother. Was it not cruel to take limn her the last emblem of maternal love ? Gen. Clark said that he thought the time had cm* ■■ for us to take the j means ol protection in our own hands and I fight it out, buthe had confidence in Governor | Geary, and would yield gracefully to his pol iey. It was agreed that the Governor should re : tire and await the decision of the Council, i A committee was appointed to inform Gov. ! Geary ot the decision, atid itientorializinw hint ! in relation to some of our peculiar troubles, and set tortli the filets of the case to the world. They will be published officially soon. Per haps the committee will send them to tho Re publican. In the afternoon, about 5 o’clock, the forces rotired to camp on the Wakarusa. After supper, the forces were summoned in front ot the General’s quarters, where several speeches were made to the crowd. The speak ers were Gen. Clark, of .Missouri: Col. Titus, Col. J. C. Anderson, Mr. Reynolds, formerly of the Frankfort (Ky.) Yeoman; Mr. Clay ton, of Alabama, and your correspondent. Gov. Geary had authorised Col. Titus to raise three companies of volunteers to be mustered into the service, consisting of eighty men each, two companies to be mounted. About one hundred enrolled. The battalion will be complete in a few days. At 12 o’clock we were aroused, and took up the line ot march at 1, Tuesday morning, making Cedar Creek to breakfast, and this place by 2 o’clock. The army marched from near this place on account of the convenience of getting provisions here. The Leavenworth, Kickapoo, Atchison and Doniphan companies rendezvous also at the camp near Westport, ibis ends tho last expedition. Lane had left Lawrence unprotected : lie tied from his forti i ficatiousthereandou the Wiik.uusn. Ourforces ’ could have destroyed Lawrence: they could have successfully, for the time, resisted tho Governor, but they did not : and whatever may be said of the result, it cannot he denied | that it vindicated out - proJe >Uns of law and j order. W i: stport, Sept. 18, 1850. I forgot to mention in my letter of yest, r : day that Gov.

The next thing is to prepare for the election, which takes place on the first Mon day iu October, two weeks from this time short notice. Many of the counties have made no nominations yet. Bomc of them, perhaps, will nut be represented at all. The Governor will issue his proclamation in a few days, and the pro-slavery party will take ac tivo steps to organize thoroughly.

Interference of France in Spanish Af fairs. The Paris correspondent of the London Times, in a letter dated Bept. 10th, says : Although the Monitcur has not announced it, there is no doubt that the Emperor Napo lean has sent the Grand Cordon to Marshal O’Donnell—an act which 1 should think is not likely to cause a very favorable impression in England. It cannot be accepted otherwise than as a testimony of the imperial approval of all the Spanish Minister's recent acts, and as confirmation of the fact that the coup d'etat was instigated by the French government. There are rumors afloat here upon the subject, not all of them very favorable to the entente eordialc. Spain lias always been a petilou.. shoal in the course of amity between England and France. It would, indeed, be a thousand pities if she were again to cause a wreck. Tho friends of this government talk rather largely and loose ly about tho necessity of maintaining French influence paramount in Spain, about the im possibility of allowing the spread of such de mocratic principles as was witnessed under the government of Espartero, and about the services rendered by O’Donnell in ridding the country of a horde of anarchists. There is no greater mistake than to suppose that French influence can be imposed upon Spain, although it may upon its government. As to the spread of democracy, nothing will so effectually in crease it as the attempted restoration of abso utism. The reactionary measures of O’Donnell, his treachery to the constitutional cause and to the great liberal party in whose ranks ho two years ago was so eager to be enrolled, have done more than any other man has ever done in Spain to damage the monarchy and swell the ranks of the democrats. And so it will prove some day or other. No matter what means O’Donnell and his successors may em ploy to strengthen and maintain a government which is to bo virtually absolute, they may iu stal one which may last for years, but sooner or later tho reaction will come and then the throne of Isabella 11., which tottered in the year 1854, will very probably be completely swept away. From Hie Southern Recorder. An Infalliblo Cure for “Scours.” The following prescription, lias, on many occasions, been used by tlie subscriber him self, and by others of his acquaintance, in Texas —where the disease frequently assumes the type of an epidemic among horses, not dissimilar, in its appearance ami results, to the ‘bloody llux ‘ among lmtmin beings—with signal and uniform success in eases of scours. In tact, I do not hesitate to pronounce it an infallible cure for that disease, if administer ed before the animal is too tar gone from ex haustion, to admit of the possibility of phy sical recuperation: Take of good, strong, freshly linked ami ground coffee, a half pint; put it’in three pints ut water, and let ihe whole continue to boil until ii is reduced to one quart: then take it Irwin the fire and let if cool, shake it well, so that the “grounds” and the extract may be come thoroughly incorporated together and then pour the preparation into a junk bottle and drench the diseased animal with it—giv ing the entire quart ut a drenching—anil re peal. once a day. until the animal exhibits evidences i.f growing better of tlie disease; then reduce the dose to one pint, and con tinue giving it daily until the disease entirely disappears, ‘ L.
