Seven companies of the Massachusetts regi ment of volunteers have been already organi zed. The remaining companies are in a state of forwardness. Movements in the West.—The following I article is from the St. Louis Republican of Monday, the 28th nit.; “It seems to be very well understood here that one of the objects of the express from Washington to Santa Fe. which left here a few days ago, in charge of Major Fitzpatrick and Mr. S. P. Sublette, is in part, if not entirely, to recall Gen. Kearney from California, and dispatch the i General and .ill the troops under his command, which may be spared from the occupation of Santa Fe and other points, to join Gen- Taylor and co-operate with him. If this be the pur pose of the despatches, a considerable period must elapse before the orders can be carried in to effect, probably not until some time in May or June next.” Mr. M’Kay, from the Committee of Ways and Means, reported to the House of Repre sentatives on Saturday the following bills, which were read twice, and referred to the Committee of the Whole on the state of the Union. For the support of the Army—for the supply of Indian appropriations and Indian an nuities —for the support of the Navy for the year ending June 3d, 1847.

The W ilmington Boats.—The Charleston Courier of yesterday says: It appears that the steamer Vanderbilt left Wilmington at 5 P. M. on Sunday, came down to Siuithville, and as the tide was too low to admit of her crossing the bar, remained there until 71 o’clock, when she started, but encountering a fog, put back, and left again at 6 o’clock on Monday morning, a strong S. W. breeze :i blowing. At half past 10 it was found that she had sprung aleak un der her guards, and made so much water that she could not be kept free by the pumps. — This being the case, the Captain most judiciously determined to put back, and the boat was soon after freed by the pumps, the change of course altering the position of the boat, and conse quently preventing her from making so much water. About 4 o’clock in the afternoon the Vanderbilt met the Gladiator coming down the river, and placed the passengers and mail on board her, and the latter boat reached here early yesterday morning. The steamer Gov. Dudley being, as we learn, repairing at some Northern port, the Wilming ton undergoing repairs at Wilmington, and the Vanderbilt certainly unseaworthy unless thor oughly'overhauled. the Gladiator is tin* only boat in service. We trust that tbe company will at once charter boats to keep up the con nexion, and not suffer any interruption of the mail beyond what must naturally occur from uncontrollable circumstances.

WE HAVE RECEIVED from New Or leans, a supply of the genuine MASTODON COTTON SEED, from the Seed of the original im porter into the United States, Mr. R. ABBEY, of Yazoo City, Miss., who has carefully preserved it un in i.red. Certificates of the genuineness of the Seed, and instructions as to the proper distances at which this Seed should be planted, can be had at our office, and will be furnished to purchasers of the Seqjl, DOUGHTY BEALL, Agents of Mr. K. Abbey. As evidence of the superiority of the quality of the cotton produced from this Seed, we append the follow ing correspondence : BOSTON PLANTATION, } Near Yazoo City, Mi., Sept. 1, 1846. S Dear Sir: The great attention awakened by the introduction of the MASTODON COTTON into the United States, together with my earnest desire that it may succeed in promoting the interests of the South, may be a sufficient excuse fur this communication. The seed were procured (as I suppose) near the northern extremity of the Gulf of California, where there are extensive uninhabited regions, and where Cotton of various kinds is sometimes found growing wild. Its transfer to Mi sissippi, therefore, (the same latitude) keeps it stilPin its native climate. That you may not lie imposed upon in the purchase of seed, it is proper for you to know, that, with hut two stalks growing in 1842, its cultivation in 1844, had not extended beyond my plantation, except in a single instance in my neighborhood. In 1845 it was first raised by others. But its vain able properties not then being generally known, it became much mixed and crossed, in many instances, with oilier cotton ; and hence the vast quantities of mixed seed through out the country. And besides this, extensive frauds have been committed by the sale of quite different I kinds of seed, as “ Mastodon.” A large commission j house in New Orleans has been extensively engaged j in this business, and many parts of the country ha,<.e i become flooded with spurious seed. Should you wish to cultivate the Mastodon, you would do well to get seed that is genuine, and it is nearly equally important that it tie neither mixed or crossed with other cotton. 1 would also suggest the greatest cure in keeping your seed pure. To prevent it from degenerating, plant in small quantities of pick ed seed occasionally, to use for seed. i have from the first taken the greatest possible I care of my seed, and have my present crop growing entirely from picked seed. I shall put up my send crop carefully for sale, with my name on each sack. They may be had in New Orleans of Buckner A: Stanton and Hooper A; Marye. in Mobile of Moulchin & Tevell, and shall also have agencies in the principal places in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. To secure my seed it should he especially inquired for. The Mastodon should be cultivated precisely as oth er cotton, except that it should have u little more dis tance! The seed are very large and white. To ob tain a high price for the cotton it should he handled and ginned well. By taking the “Southern Cultivator,” Augusta, Gu., 81 per annum, you may learn more upon this important subject. Almost any of the Southern news papers will be of value to you in this respect. Allow me also to say that my brother Major M. E. Abbey, of Columbus, Miss., and Mr. D, F. Miller, of La., have, I believe, taken great pains in preserving the purity of their Mastodon cotton seed. By noting these remarks and circulating them ! among your friends, yon will promote the interests of colton grow, and oblige yours, respectfully, R. ABBEY. MASTODON COTTON. Prom the following ; letter from one of the oldest and largest Commission Houses in Europe, it will he seen that the well ginned Mastodon Cotton was worth in Liverpool, at the time the letter was written, from 16 to 20 cents a pound. The Cotton the letter speaks of was ginned on the common gins. It is now settled beyond question, that an article worth double the price of our common Cotton, may be raised any where in the Cotton region, without any additional expense or labor. In selecting seed, care should be taken to get that which is pure, as much of it is mixed with other seed. Mastodon seed are all large and white : LIVERPOOL, Sept. 3, 1816. R. Abbey, Esq., Yazoo City, Mi.: Sir —We regret that in reply to your favor of August sth, we can give little satisfactory information as to the uses of Mastodon Cotton in our manufactories. Even had a sufficient quantity gone into consumption, which there has not, the manufacturers would careful ly conceal the uses to which they put it. aj&d its value to them. Os the quality and value of the Cotton in our mar- j ket, we can give a strong and decided opinion. We , think its length and strength and silkiness of staple place it next below Sea Island Cotton, from which it ; presents no marked point of difference, when not in jured by ginning. This is a most important point, be cause saw ginned Sea Island does not rank high in this market, owing to the staple being cut. The writer believes that he has seen every parcel of Mastodon cotton in the Liverpool market. For some, lOd is asked. We sold two bales, dull in color, alßd, i and a rather large sale was made early in the season j at or 9d, Had we 100 bales of similar quality to j the small bale of Mr. W. H. Mercer, we should ask i lOd, and xve have no donut a sale might be made readily, at 9d. But you must bear in mind that par cels of a bale or two are difficult to place, the buyer making rather a favor of taking them. The principal points to attend to are, first, fineness, | length and comparative strength of staple, which must j not be injured by over-ginning or working the gin too j fast, which converts valuable cotton into a broken mass of fibres, expensive to separate and involving the loss of half the Cotton. Next to this, a fine pink bloom is desirable, not too much of the cream color, anti a degree of oiliness in the quality of the cotton, making the sample silky. These points attained, the Cotton would only he inferior to the higher qualities of Sea Islands. We remain your obedient servants, ja!2-lawd&Avtf GEO. GREEN & SON. A SEGAR-MAKER WANTED.
