The Committee to whom was referred the
communication of Mr. C. A. L. Lamar, Agent
for Mr. G. B. Lamar, calling the attention of
this Board to the non-observance of its Dry
Culture obligations, assumed in 1844, over cer
tain of his tide lands, situate east of the city;
and also conveying a declaration of bis inten
tion to litigate hia claim of damages of succes
sive crops, resulting as alleged by him, from
the remissness ofthe corporation, in observing
the conditions of the subsisting agreement—
Report, That on the 18th nit. your Committee
did make, in company with theCity Marshal, a
thorough inspection of the said tract of land,
and were pleased to find every marginal ditch
in fine order, and feef no hesitation in pro
nouncing it in a condition comparable to any
dry culture plantation under jurisdiction of
Council: The grazingofcattle upon these lands
without an adequate supply of bridges, strikes
your Committee as impolitic, and most render
nugatory a]l efforts ofthe city authorities to keep
open the drains.
The far greatest obstacle to the complete con
trol of the draining of these and the neighbor
ing tide lands, consist in the use io which the
basin of water forming the mouth of the canal
is applied, viz: as a receptacle for rafts of rang
ing timber, which occasion great accumulation
of sand and mud, thereby preventing the egress
of water. The proposals of Meiers. Bulloch
and Wlnton to change the position, to construct
a large trunk, and to keep open this portion of
the canal npon certain conditions, recommends
itself to your immediate adoption.
To the claim of Mr. Lamar for damages for
bis crope. your Committee have given the most
respectful consideration, and in their refusal to
award any sum for damages, tl[ey find their
justification, io t neglect of the principles gov
erning all agricuimralists in cultivating the soil.

ments, Illustrative of this mysterious agency—
the existence of which can no more be doubted,
than that of many other of the marvels that
surround us, which our feeble reason cannot
solve or explain.
We confess to some credulity in this matter,
being unable to resist the evidences of our own
senses, and being totally unable to explain away
the phenomena which we have witnessed, where
deception was Impossible; and haring beeti
"convinced against our will,” our testimony is
therefore the more to be relied tfporf.*
We do not here allude so much to the Clair
voyant experiments, (though we confess that
those exhibited by Dr. Webster’s patiepts, at
Columbia last winter, mystified us altogether,)
as to the cures we have known him to accom
plish in cases of paralysis, acute rheumatism,
and nervous affections, several or which fell

LIBERTY COUNTY, MAY 26, 1847.
Messrs. Locke A Da via— -
Gentlemen:—l have noticed of late several
articles in your paper, giving rather a gloomy
account of the prospecta of the Cotton planter,
for the present year, in districts somewhat re
moved from that we occupy.
I believe I have never troubled you with'any
thing from my pen, and it may be, never shall
again; but "ihe spirit moves me” just now,and
I present you the fact, that troubles of a very se
rious nature dxlst nearer home.
A cool spring is alwaysthe precurser of evil
to the planter. It is during snch a season, that
Ihe "cot-worm” commits Its depredations, ex
hibiting fields in a state of nudity, which but
for a short time previous were fresh and green.
As soon as Ihe weather becomes warm, with
warm nightt, these insects cease their work of
destruclionfdfecend into the earth, or are trans
formed into Butterflies and disappear.
The " heart-worm,’k too, has been uncom
monly busy. This kind attacks the Corn under
the ground, perforating the stalk and eating the
interior, and thus the plant dies. But the great
est evil resulting to our Cotton from such a
Spring, remains to be told. It is the direct in
fluence of cold winds and chilly nights upon
the plant, while yet tender. The growth is en
tirely checked, the lower leaves stripped off, the
top leaves curled, the shank shrivelled, red or
spotted. This we call "sore^shln.” »The in
tegrity of the bark to a greater or less extent
affected, the plant may grow' on as the warm
weather sets in, but unable to sustain the weight
of foliage and fruit which it puts on, it continues
to fall ontil frost. The present season is pregnant
with evil of this sort, and our hopes of a full
fruition cut off, even before we are well clearof
seed time. The crops of Cotton, generally
present a very meagre appearance, and, super-
added to the difficulties with which It has al
ready had to contend, it is tiflw threatened with
death by drowning. In no part of Ihe last sea
son do 1 recollect to have witnessed a' heavier
fall of wfiter than we havq experienced within
the last week or ten days. 1 know o( some
planters still patting in seed after repealed efforts
to get "a stand.” I observe, in my own crop,
Cotton dying, diseased At ihe root, which is now
two months old. The.cfbp must, of necessity,
be a very short one. I’he Corn crop, I think,
will be a fair one. Potatoes look badly at pres-
S t, but should the latter part of the year be
rorabfe, we may remedy the evil by a larger
planting of the vine.
1 observe it stated also that the "cotton caterpil
lar” have made their appearance in certaia parts
npon the Vouog crop. 1 am disposed to doubt
whether they are the "genuine article,” notwith
standing the published opinions of the two dis
tinguished gentlemen, who have lately attempt
ed to prove that they winter among us in one
form or another. Having bad my crop eaten
up by them last year, I was anxious to profit by
the wisdom and experience.of older and wiser
beads, and therefore institnted close search and
inquiry into the truth of their respective theo
ries, but found no living evidence of their ever
having been on my plantation, or in my neigh
bourhood. But if either of their positions be
true, and Ihe worm does hibernate here, why
do they not aflack qpd destroy oun crops every
yearl To what peculiar cause are we indebt
ed for exemption from them when once they
have appeared among usl They seldom visit
us in two consecutive years, and when freed
from them for a term of years; to what "ill
wind” are we Indebted for their re-appearance 1
I am satisfied they do not hibernate here, else
hy are they not seen and fell in their destruc
tive career upon the young plant in the spring
and early in the summer] Is it because the
plant furnishes a more grateful repast when in
full bearing 1 If so, upon what do they feed
until the set time arrives 1 The cotton caterpil
lar have ever appeared at irregular intervals
and in peculiar seasons,and "whence (bey come,
or whither they go,” is yet a mystery to us.
Many have supposed (and with much plausi
bility,) that they are wafted over to us in the
molb-state from a more Southern region.

ner in which the concern at Washington has
realed Gen. Taylor.
I know, from unquestionable authority, that for
five months not a single dispatch of his has been
ansuered, (unless within the last few weeks,)
and nothing sent him except an insulting letter
enclosing the letter written by him to General
Gaines, and demanding to know whether he
wrote it. lam glad to say (bat Ggn. Taylor’
reply was in every way worthy the spirit ol
high-toned, free, American eitinen,- who .has
never learned to fawn that thrift may follow.—
He replied that he did write it, and as be did,
not intend it for publication, had not before ex
amined it very carefully ; but now, on a re-ex
amination, he found not a word or expression
that he wished to alter. He asked no favors—
they might make the most of it. They took
away all his regolafb save a handful, and left
him none but raw volunteers. Had he retreated
on Monterey, as directed by the War Denail-
ment, the whole country from Saltillo to Mata
rnoros, in the opinion of all military men then
would hav£ been lost. There is much more |i„u
yet to be told on this subject at another time.— J
Thank God, he has survived and broken down
the base conspiracy, for conspiracy it is consid
ered here by all good judges, military men and
others.

tbe States In what manner can the war be car
ried on ]”
"The same paper Mentions that the office for
the administration of the tobacco revenues, with
all the aUachts thereto, Is to be removed from
tbe capital, with an escort of tbe military for its
protection. This, says the Republicano, strikes
os as very strange, for if the office is to seek
place where it cannot be attacked by the enemy,
for this very reason the military and the battal
ions of tbe Guard ought not to go there.
The decree suppressing the liberty of the
press within the Federal District of Mexico,
mentioned in Mr. Kendall’s letter, published
in the Picayune of the 26th, is dated the 5th
ult., and was promulgated the following day
By it the press is forbidden, to engage in politi
cal and military discussions, or to express cen
sure npon thy supreme authorities, or in any
way to throw discredit upon the army or its com
manders. Tbe preamble alleges that the abuse
of the liberty ot the press has been acandalons
that the papers bave promoted dissensions, re
ciprocal distrust and disunion, whereby the for
eign enemy is indirectly protected and the de
fence of the country rendered every dsyAroore
difficult. The prohibition of the freedom of the
press Is to continue in force so long as the capi
tal remains in a state of siege.
El Republicano of tbe 7th ult. - comes out
a noble article rebuking the Government for
this measure. It makes an earnest appeal to
the conscience and understanding of President
Anaya to retrace the ( false step. In the coarse
of the article the army comes in for a large
share of the indignation of tbe editors, and some
of bearing arms, into battalions, for the defence
of the city. The articles are of the qdst string
ent character.
TWo other decrees were promulgated at the
same time. One orders all persons in posses
sion of arms to produce them for the use of the,
nation, receiving receipts therefor and certifi
cates for the amount of their appraised* value,
which arc receivable for public dues. The
other commands horses to be given up in the
same manner, no man being allowed to retain
more than one horse for his own use. Penal
ties are denounced for violations of the decrees,
and rewards held forth to informers. The de
crees themselves are hardly worth giving in foil.
ifi regard to Durango and Zacatecas, the Rc-
publicano is pained to learn that qo such enthu
siasm and,eagerness for the war exlits there as
Is manifested in almost all the other parts of
the Repiihifc. If the Yankees penetrate those
States wimout encountering resistance, says
that paper, those portions of'toe Republic will
suffer an Indelible stain,
Santa Anna has strong friends and equally
strong personal enemies in Mexico. Hisfriend*i
however,seem lobe in the ascendant.
Tke Republicano has an able article opposed
English mediation.
Col. Mata,' a Mexican jofficer on parole in
New-Orleans, has made to Ihe £ditors of the
Delta some explanations about Gen. La Vega's
conduct. He says that Gen. La Vega len tbe
city of Mexico but two days after tbe arrival of
the American prisoners, and upon orders sud
denly given by the Government: that he, how
ever, took steps to have Midshipman Rodgers,
released, and had assurances, which were after
wards justified by tbe fact, (bat the other prison
ers would also be released. They, were placed
temporarily in the Carcel de Santiago, more as
protection than as a restraint or imprison
ment. Gen. La Vega and his brother captives
were confined by Col. Wilson, the American
commander at Vera Cruz, iu the guard-house,
which the Mexicans think is a harder case than
that of any of our prisoners.
Gen. Lem us died on Ihe evening of the 30th
April. Gen. Joaquin de Itubide also died on
the 1st ult,
The State of Jalisco is to contribute 16,000
men for the lime tbe war may Iasi. The Stale
of Guanajuato has promised 8,000 for tbe Na
tional Goards and Guerrillas.
A recent order from the Government directs
that all the forces froqi the East and Sooth
should report to Gen. Santa Anna as the only
Commander-In-Chief.
’ The Delta contains in full an address of tbe
clergy of San Luis Potosi, which calls upon
Mexicans in the name ofthe Catholic religion
to expel the invaders. The address commences
with the following language
"The Cabinet of Washington have determin

crime—rare, indeed, in the annals Df the whole

Dr. D. Jayne—Sir: I take great pleasure in in
forming you that the bottle or Hair Tonic which 1
obtained of you last October, baa proved moat satis
factory and successful. My hair had for a long time
been exceedingly thin, but for two or three years
past it had jp (alien out that my head had becor
almost entirely bald. 1 was under the necessity
concealing-the baldness, by combing the bairon
the aides over it. But now, after'naing a bottle c
the Tonic, I have aa luxuriant a. growth of hair as
overbad. C. C. Park,

Dr. P. M. Cohen & Co.—Gentlemen:—1 deem
it doe to you to communicate the benefit that I
have derived from tho uso of Jayne’s Hair Tonic,
1 have only used one bottle of it, and that with ac
much fticceaa, tttat I am well convinced or its vir
tue and efficacy.
The hair is now coming out on my head in places
which were perfectly bald, and is still growing and
thickening.
1 have great confidence in the Hair Tonic, and
anticipate from'* further application of it tbo com-
plete restoration of my hair.
Several gcutlemcn of my acquaintance have used
it, and all of them with great success.

Opinion of a Regular Physician,

is that I have recommended the use
of WISTAR’S BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY for
isny
pa-
. [cases
where U was thon^ht^ confirmed^ consumption hod
deaeascs of the Lungs, for two years past, snd many
bottles to my knowledge have wen uaed by my pa-
tionts, all with beneficial results. In two [cnaoi
where it was thonsht confirmed consumption h
taken place, the Wild Cherry effected a cure.

Beware qf Counter/eili and Imitations.—Tho un
paralleled and astonishing efficacy of Dr. Wistar’s
Balsam of Wild Cherry in all tbe diseases forwhich
it is recommended, curing many cates after the skil
of the best physicians was unavailing, has effected
a large snd increasing demand for it. This fact
has caused several unprincipled counterfeiters and

MOBILE, MAY 23, r. 1*.—Cotton.—The mar
ket haa not yet sufficiently settled ft-om tbe effects
of tbe foreign news to give exactquotationa. There
is apparently but little disposition to operate, and
torao days muat elapse before prices become uni
form. The sales to-day do not exceed 200 bales,
taken after the arrival of the mail. Pricea are about
Jc. lower, aay for middling to good middling-10 a

NEW ORLEANS, MAY 26.—Cotton—The
transactions, since our last review, embrace 3,760
bales, of which 1,600 sold on Saturday, snd the re
sidue on Monday, including 1,000 fine oottons,
for St. Petersburgh, not before reported. During
these two days, tho market continued rather un
settled, parties differing in their views with regard
to prices, unwilling to operate freely until further
accounts should bo received from the other side.
We are since placed in posaeasion of the telegra-
pic despatch of the ad vices by thejateamer Britannia,
which came through by yesterday's mail. The ef
fect of this intelligence waa to suspend all forther
operationa, until tne receipts of the letters, and of
