1 leant from an odic r of the Potomac, that
the Navy are getting up tin expedition to the
South embracing Campeaclty. Tabasco and
1111 ts ieu tlco. 1 si icereiy hope that they may
meet something worthy of their arms, its there
was gr. at dieappoiatm’oit and mortification
among the otficers at not being permitt and to
attick the Castle by sen while the army was
bo nbarding by land. Their curses were loud
and deep wheat y found that the ships were >
to be kept idle at S,, rifieios. They all seem
ed to look forward to the Castle as the bright
star of their hopes, where the character of the
Navy was to b’ redei mid and placid on its
ancient footing. A little Middy. (Mr. B. )
measuring about two I feel in ids stockings was
regretting to tin . the other day. that the Sec
retary had not permitted them to assault the i
Castle with their ships. When 1 remarked
there would have been much blood shed in tire j
attack lie drew himself up and said Sir. the 1
remembrance of Conner and Alvarado can on
ly be wiped out in blood sir. We wanted to
shed blood sir. Capt. Tattnall says, that
blood ought to be shed sir. to ltlot out Alvara
do and Conner from the recollections of men;
and what he says sir is right. And we were
going to sink before the Castle —we were not
goi tg to obey arty signals to haul nil' —we were
going to sink. sir. at our anchors if necessary, j
but no retreating —all of the officers said so,
sir.” With this the little fellow, disdaining 1
any further word with me, walked off. and I
could hear him muttering to himself, Wo |
wanted to shed blood, sir.” There was pluck
ill that boy—the little fellow evidently felt j
what he said.
In my last letter to you 1 made some reflec
tions on the Navy. for not having attempted
to carry the Castle by landing front the ships.
I beg leave to recall those remarks, as I have
learned that a young Lieutenant in the Navy
presented a proposition to the Government to
that effect, asking authority to purchase a
[merchant vessel and 500 Colt’s pistols, run in
.t a merchant vessel and moor to the walls of
the Castle and at night board from the yard
amtsand jib-booms; and tlmt a merchant ves
sel with 500 men. armed with Colt’s pistol and
otherwise equipped, was actually held in read
iness to make the attempt, waiting but the
permission of the Commodore, who h.yl discre
tionary power from the Secretary of the Na
vy to authorize it if expedient, and had there
been any unnecessary delay in the Castle’s
giving up. the attempt would have been made.
It was a glorious conception, and the project
does credit to our Navy ; and though it would
have been a feather out of our cap yet 1 wish
most heartily that they had been permitted to
carry it out —it would have been something
unique in its kind and would have shed undy
ing lustre on the Navy. It is most creditable
to the Secretary of the Navy, tlmt he gave it
his countenance and support. There is stufl’
enough in these young Navy boys for any en
terprise—all they want is rope, and not bed
ridden old men to cripple their energies. I
have not been able to learn the name of the
Lieutenant who projected this expedition.

I lie Californians have us one of their

it is by means of there weapons that they
have had such success. An otlicer writing
from San Diego, says, “our army not being
aide to obtain good horses, eould not keep clear
ol them. They would make their Arab-like
charges from behind and before one of our
riders was able to turn his itorse to face the
foe,he would find himself horribly cut or trans

farther, whether he had any daughters, ami
whether their feet were treated in the same
way. he answered in the affirmative but he
asserted that they had been subjected to the

He added that in a China man’s house where
there were young girls, no peace could be had. j

they were six yuan old. He gave us a reason

Origin of the Vrmv Worm.
The Raton Rouge Conservator gives the
following new and rather plausible theory in i
regard to the origin of the Army Worm, so de
structive to the interests of our planters. Os
course it will be read with eagerness. Should
any of our friends differ from the conclusion j
of the writer, vve will be happy to give place j
to their views.
The increase of the army worm, and its now
annual instead ofperiodical appearance is well
calculated to fill the minds of cotton planters J
with alarm, as it regards the future, and should
lead to serious inquiry. - Where is this evil to !
stop, and can any human foresight hasten
such a consummation?” To arrive at the or
igin of the army worm. we need an intelligent
ly conducted scientific Agricultural Society,
that lias capital to spend in searching into the !
secrets of nature-yet how difficult it is to im
press this necessity upon the planter. Accor- i
ding to our reflections, the army worm is an I
evil that grows out of the abuse of one of the
wisest and most beneficent laws of nature. I
Man was constituted sovereign of the soil, and ;
ordained to cultivate all the products suited I
to the climate in which 110 lives, to avoid ü
buse in only growing one or two products, |
which for profit or otherwise, might be made
to usurp the place of the mass, and thus in
time cause them to he lost to the world; a ra
riety of products is demanded of the soil, else
the evils exhibeted in the annual economy,
growing out of “in and in breeding” must ter
ribly ensue.
A volume might be written in illustration,
we give a few facts only as food for the specu
lative intelligent mind. We find that the re
markable destroyers of any vegitahle pro
ducts, are confined entirely to staples.
In the cultivation of the Indigo, when it is
a staple crop, we find an insect called the fly
carrier, that destroys whole fields in a night,
originating the proverb, the Indigo planter
goes to bed rich and gets up poor.
The Orange tree, two years ago. was at
tacked by an insect tlmt destroyed the crop
of fruit, and is. we think hut the commence
ment of its appearance, and is destined, final
ly, to destroy the present stand of tree.
Cobbett. twenty’ years ago. while urging
upon the people of in land the advantage o?
using corn as food prophesied the potntoe rot
that is now devastating that and the adjoin
ing countries. He did it upon a knowledge of
the simple laws of nature, and consequences
of their abuse.
Whenever wheat grows Inj-uriantlA from a
soil being properly prepared for it, it escape
the fly, but wheat, growing upon ‘worn out
land’ is entirely destroyed. In one county
in New York (Sulfdk) the farmers be
came miserably poor, their lands produced on
itn average live or six bushels of wheat to an
acre, the fly absolutely put an end to its culti
vation. The result was, an entire revolution
in its cultivation; tin lan l was highly manured
the crop increased ten-fold and the fly disap
peared.
In the April number of the Commercial Re
view. in Art. 11. of A lew notes for Sugar
Planters,” w find the ibllowing:
♦Tlie glossy coat of the reed tribe, and the
outside im rnbraue of the Cane stalk, ac. are
attributable to -ilex taken up from the soil and
tlie absence of which in I lie old cane land is
HupixJsed to be the secret of their poverty”
The rtirrnlio of the plum ti , e, the insect of
the extensive turnip fields of England and
mildew of the vine-yards of France, Spain
and Italy, the * yellows” of Ihe peach tree, are
fmtdliar to all acquainted with agricultural
history.
Oar argnnu at in that the army worm is a j
form of life produced by poisonous fluid* gene
rated by the continent idtiration if the same ■
plant in the same soil far a series of years.
It is harmonious in its origin and effects |
with the degeneracy of all the anitnul mid
vegetable economy, where no proper change j
of variety of species takes place.
The army worm is the same in kind, ns the
fly of the when) the Canada insect of the indi
go plant the disen “of the potato, called the
rot, and nevorcan bn exterminated,except by
rotation of crops, wearing itself out, or the arti

Public opinion has centered on 1.75'f000
hales ns the amount of the crop of cotton of
this year, ending 31st August next. We think
; we are safe in assuming that it will not exceed
• 1.770000 hales, which will be a deficiency of
I supply, as compared with what was called a
short crop last year—say 2 100,000 bales—of
325 000 bales, and in addition to which, it ap
pears that there will be a deficiency in weight
ol 1 1 5,000 bales more, making the total actual
deficiency 500,000 hales of the average weight
ol the bales which are now going to market.
It must he borne in mind that the short crop
, ol last year, with a reducing consumption car
ried down the stock in Europe 491000 hales
which must be allowed tor in considering the
effect of the present attempt of the manufact
urers thereto control prices. Goods must rise
ill price, consequent upon the demand in India
Ghina and South America, and we may add
Eastern Europe, as the stocks are very inode
rate in the hands ol manufacturers in Europe.
The demand in this country this year will re
quire at least 500 000 hides, and may reach
55 J,OOO bales. The next crop has as vet only
appeared out of the ground m the high land's
ia Mississippi; the bottom lands of that State,
j and also ol Louisiana, are now under water,
which will make tlte planting there very lnte.
and of course hazardous. We at all times dis
courage speculation; but if the army worm,
which appears not to be extinct should renew
its ravages this season, ol which well ground
ed apprehensions are entertained the crop will
he tho smallest made in twelve years. We
have received a number of letters on this sub
ject giving alarming statements from particu
lar localities, which at present we shall decline
publishing'. Our readers will notice that we
took a perfectly independent course in regard
to the crop now in market, during the season
ol its growth; and being very cautious in se
lecting our correspondents at the South and
sparing no expense lor early notices of the
changes that occurred we were enabled to
point out the number of bales of the crop as
early as October last almost with the gift of
prophecy; it will therefore, be important for
all parties engaged ii commercial pursuits to
watch well the columns of this paper for early
and authentic information in relation to this
most important subject as it is quite probable
that another short crop will overturn the Cot
ton Lords of England; and with the distress
which must ensue in the manufacturing dis
tricts upon that which is at present existing
there and in France, will in all probability

figures of the previous crop of 2 100.000 bales
stood thus:

1 775 000 average weight 400

Deficiency in weight. 199 810 000 pounds be
ing equal to 499 000 bales of the weight of the
average bales of this crop; thus exceeding the
apparent decrease by 174 000 bales. It is ad
mitted that the bales from the same section
fall off about five per cent, from the weight ol
last season, which is attributed to the remark
ably dry fall ot bust year preventing the com
pressing of the fibre by mule power. The sea
son continued so warm and so free from storms
of any kind to injure the plant, or retard the
picking which was done up very close that
many English houses at the South and hero,
in November, estimated the crop at not less
than 2.2U0 000 bales, pointing nt a rrop of 2 -
300.000 bales. We think that in any event
these statements are sufficiently near the prob
able result of actual facts to’ put down this
crop in round figures at about equal to 1 000.000
bales of the crop of last year.
The consumption of cotton in the U. Slates
this year—lß46 and IS47—will, it is estimated
amount to five hundred and fitly thousand bales
in the section ofcountry north and east of Vir
uriuia not including that State, and to at least
six hundred thousand bales within the limits of
the Union. We are only able to arrive at the
quantity of cotton consumed bv manufiteters
in the United States north and cast of Virginia,
by taking the amount disposed of for that pur
pose in the principal receiving depots of the
country. Now it is well known that cotton
manufactories have sprung up in every part of
the Southern and Western sections nftlie Uni
on and in every State there are extensive es
tablishments many of which make goods for
consumption in their immediate vicinity. The
aggregate consumption of cotton in the United
States is therefore much larger than we have
an idea of nnd will without niurh doubt reach
this year six hundred thousand bales till but a
small portion of which will come from the crop
alter it has reached the aecountingdepots.
The aggregate supply of cotton in the Uni
ted States on the Ist of Sept. 1846 was 107-
122 bales, which, with the crop now coming to
market estimated in bales equal to those of
1845 and 1846 at 1 600,000 bales, gives us the
total ot 1 707 122 bales. Deduct from this our
own consumption, estimated at 600 000 of which
nt least 550 000 bales will be taken from the
ports and there will be left for exportation 1-
157 122 bales. The exports in each oftlie two
past years, and this year thus far, have been
as follows: *

There are only four mouths left of this year,
within which the exports will be very limited,
compared with those of the past right months.
In tile first eight months of this commercial
year the exports of cotton were only about
one-half of those for the previous yeur.
Hinre 1845 the supply of Cotton in Grent
Britain has been decreasing, the receipt* fall
ing short of the consumption nnd the ilelii ien
cy being made up from the stock, which
at the close of 1845 amounted to 1.060560
bales. 1 1 has ulrendy bee ime reduced more
than half, and at the close 0f1847 it will with
out doubt, he less thill) it has hcru ut uny lime

Alter a long and painful illness, which she bore with

Although she had long expect and tin- hour of her trial

a calmness and resignation which proved tiiat sh'*

Mesrn* Editors: Perhaps its nothing amiss that I
should state to thepwMc, for the ben fit of those suni.
larly situated, that some four years since, I was at talk
ed withn peculiar disease of the muacl sos my lower
extremities, unattended with pain, to such mi extent as
to produce almost entire paralysis of those limbs, so
much so, as to compel me to use crutches to get about
the yard &e . and that 1 have be n measurably relieved j
by a slight Burgical operation, by Di Fleweilen, of |
Cullodcn, Ga.
At the time the disease made its appeurnnee, I was
about 17 years of ag% and previously had enjoyed moat
excellent health. I sufieied no pain during its progress,
but constantly felt the growth of that muscular debility,
which disqualified me for my farming pursuits entire, by
the contraction of the tendons about my feet, producing
a complete case of club-foot, I could take no exercise of
consequence (being thrown off my gravity) and was
confined almost exclusively to my room My feet be
came so twisted, that it was impossible to use the bot
tom of them in my hobbling; having to support myself
upon the outer edge of the foot and ancle. I have
had one operated upon by Dr. E . and whereas I
had not worn a shoe for tour years, 1 am now rigged off
with a decent one, and tread plum upon the bottom of
my foot.
The muscular debility line not vanished, but my walk
ing has improved, clearly demonstrating that club-foot
can be cured under the most disadvantageous circum
stance®. Yours respectfully.

was at one sitting, and during the removal of twenty
