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.

The British Cot mil nt this place hn just received n commuivcat on from thr British minister, Mr Bankhead, saying that the Mexican Government has solicited the friendly mediation of his government, to settle the difficulties between Mexico and the United ; States. 1 learned this morning that such a letter had been received from Mr Bnnkhend, and at once called on the English Consul, who tells me that such is a fact You may therefore rely on the nccurncy of this state ment. Santa Anna is about forty miles from here with 2000 men, threatening to march in and nek Vera Cruz.— This information conn's from a Spanish merchant o* this place, who came in yesterday from Mexico—he mates that he saw Santa Alina, who advis'd him to take hia things out of c ty, as he should destroy ev erything in it.

His reply was, “Very had custom.” Oa my inquiring 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 cruel ordeal hy their mother against his will.

He gave us a reason lortlie mother's insisting on her daughter’s 1 submitting to this long course of pain and suf fering: “Suppose he no small loot, no man vv intjec m ike he number one wife.” A re spectable China man it. appears, alwayschoos e.s a srn ill footed woman tor his principal wife, while for number two three and four, he con tents himselt with ladies whose feet are as na ture made them, and who are consequently . more able to make themselves useful in house hc I matters.— Oandson's ‘l'rade and Tear els in the Par Past. 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 ficial addition to the sail of that principle tlmt. having been previously exhausted, now dis plays that fact, by the production of the army worm.

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 create a revolution in the government. The figures of the previous crop of 2 100.000 bales stood thus: /'i nduction of Cotton in the United States 1 067 000 bales N. Orleans and Texas weight 450 lbs. average, 480 150 000 lbs. 422000 bales Mobile weight 500 lbs. average 211,000 000 lbs. 611 000 bales Upi and& Flor ida, weight 360 lbs. aver age, 219 960 000 lbs. 2 100 000 bales, average wt. per bale. 434 lbs. 911.110.000 lbs. This crop is apportioned thus —7OO 000 YOrleans and Texas weight 430 lbs. average 301.100.000 lbs. 320 000 hales Mobile, w’ght 480 Ihs. average. “ 153 COO 000 lbs. 755000 bales Uplands A Flori da. w’ght. 340 lbs. average, 256 700.000 lbs. 1 775 000 average weight 400 lbs. per bale, 711 300,000 lbs. 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.

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 within (lie |sist ten years.

Alter a long and painful illness, which she bore with n Christian’s fortitude and a Christian’s hope, sh • has hi I Inst been called to h r father’s kingdom to reap n rich’ I reward,for a long life spent in devotion to his service. Although she had long expect and tin- hour of her trial ! dissolution, she met the ” King of Terrors,” death, with- j out fear or trembling, and welcomed his approach with a calmness and resignation which proved tiiat sh'* knew that she had h tiensure laid up in heaven, where neither moth nor rust dotn currupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. In her death, her bereaved and disconsolate family has sustained an irreparable loss—the Methodist church of which she was long a member, has lost one of its brightest ornament*—md the community one of it* most valuable and useful members.

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. PEYTON T.

The Newburyport Herald states, that Dr. Smith, of that town,lately extracted twenty-nine teeth and roots ‘rom the mouth of a lady while undar the influence of the Letheon.
