Tlu: Somnior tints are passing,
With joy upon their wings,
Shedding their farewell radiance,
On all earth’s lovely tilings.
E’en now their l ght is lading,
And the slanting golden beams
Betoken their departure,
From our woild of hopes and dreams.
Wo mourn thee, gentle Summer,
We fain would bid thee stay
To cheer us with thy music,
And thy flowers sweet and gay.
Thou has brought us many pleasures,
Thou hast gilded all our dreams,
With that hopeful, joyous brightness,
Which from thy presence streams.
Thou hast strewn our paths with offerings,
From tree and vine and field ;
And filled us w ith that gladness,
Nought but harvest time can yield.
We have watched thy crimson sunsets,
Till they faded into night,
Then dreamt sweet dreams of joy and peace
Till morning’s rosy light.
All hail to thee ! bright Summer,
With thy sweet a:nl smiling face ;
Thou hast always met us lovingly,
And given us kind embiace.
We would thank thee for past kindness,
And thy future lote implore ;
And when next year thou com’st to reign,
We’ll welcome thee once more.
A Song tor September.
BY THOMAS W. PARSONS.
September strews the woodland o’er
With many a brilliant color ;
The world is brighter than before—
Why should our hearts be duller?
Sorrow and the scarlet leaf,
Sad thoughts and sunny weather.
Ah me ! this glory and this grief
Agree not well together.
This is the parting season—this
The time when friends are Hying;
And lovers now, with many a kiss,
Their long farewell are sighing.
Why is earth so gaily drest?
This pomp that autumn beareth
A funeral seems, where every gust
A bridal garment weareth.
Each one of us, per chance, may here,
On some blue morn hereafter,
Return to view the gaudy year,
But not with boyish laughter ;
We shall then be wrinkled men.
Our brows with silver laden,
And thou this glen mayst seek again,
But nevermore a maiden !
Nature perhaps forces that Spring
Will touch her teeming bosom,
And that a few brief months will bring
The bird, the bee, the blossom;
Ah ! these forests do not know—
Or would less brightly wither—
The virgin that adorns them so
Will never more come hither 1

A WORD TO COTTON PLANTERS.
We find many complaints in the Cotton Circu
lars from abroad, both in this country and in Eu
rope, of the very eareless manner in w hich much
cotton is packed, and sent to market, aud which is
becoming very prejudicial to the sales of Georgia
and other American cotton. Some people never
look beyond a little advantage gaiued at the pre
sent time, on the sale of an inferior article, when
it is apt to tell against them in all future transac
tions. We hope not to hear of any more Georgia
sand being sold in Liverpool for cotton. Wiight
k Co.’s Cotton Circular of the 30th ult. has the
following article on this subject:
Sandy Cotton. —The severe losses upon ship
ments of sandy cotton, during the past season,
seem to demand some notice, and the following
positions in connection with the’ subject may be
worthy of consideration.
let —There was no sandy cotton worth mention
ing fifteen or twenty years ago, and indeed very
little ten years ago.
2d—ln the last few years the quantity has in
creased in a ratio far beyond the increase of crop.
3d —The cotton gin, it is believed, has been im
proved in this iuterval, or at least, has not deteri
orated.
4th—This mode of adulterating cotton began in
the New Orleans districts, but has since extended
moie or less over the whole cotton growing area.
5th —Such cotton has become virtually unsala
ble at Liverpool, because of its superabundance,
and when a buyer has been found, the reduction
in price has been tw ice or even four limes as great
as iii the purchase on this side. In fact it has fre
quently happened, that the loss on ten bales of
sandy stuff - , in a lot of one hundred, has much
more than counterbalanced the profit upon the
ninety.
6th—Sandy cotton is destructive to machinery,
for though all cotton is cleaned before it is spun
up, some particles of sandy dust will remain, and
griatly increase the wear and tear of axles, &c. ;
hence, many spinners will not buy it at any price.
Supposing the preceding positions to be correct,
or even nearly correct, it is impossible to avoid the
conclusion, that the adulteration of cotton, by the
mixture of sand and dirt, is, to say the least of it,
wilful negligence on the part of the planter, who
has thus far profited by a course he would have
avoided and been ashamed of a few years ago.
Under these circumstances, we presume, the
remedy for this great evil can only be effectually
applied through the purchasers of cotton, and it
must be palpable to them, that if they fail to apply
it, they will not only damage their own interests,
but the true interests of the planter. Let them,
therefore, positively refuse to have “ tails ” of san
dy and dirty cotton forced upon them by the fac
tors in buying round lists, and decline to purchase
sandy cotton at all, except at the fullest reduction
in price, which its superabundance has compelled
them to concede at Liverpool and elsewhere ; and
let all importers in Europe frame their orders to
this country upon similar principles. They may,
for a time be obliged to pay a relatively higher
price for the clean qualities, but they will soon
bring the evil of adulteration with sand to an end.
Liverpool is now fuller of sandy and dusty, and
therefore, nlmot-t unsalable cotton, than ever be
fore, and it remains to be seen, what further re
duction there will be in the price of such stuff,
when the cleaner qualities of the uew crop become
abundant.
This culpable negligence among our planters has
contributed to promote the energetic measure, bv
which the Cottou Supply Association in England
lias encouraged the production of cotton iu so
many parts of the world. A rapid increase is now
taking place in its export from Africa ; and the in
crease of production in India has been at a great
er rate, in each period of five years, than in the
United States; and it is undeniable, that while our
cotton has been deteriorating in quality and clean
liness, Ease India and other cotton has been con
stantly improving in these respects. When, there
fore, we consider that in eighteen months there
will be an uninterrupted line of railroad from the
interior of India'to Bombay, and that the careless
and wilful adulteration of our cotton with sand
and dirt will stimulate the ratio of increase in In
dia, Ac., large as it lias become, it appears to us,
that our planters are jeoparding their preeminent
intluence and power as ihe great prodneers of the
necessary article.
It must not be forgotten that in the past few
years there has been moie demand for India cot
ton in Europe than could be’ met by the supply,
and that it has been solely in consequence of the
inadequate supply from India, that so much of our
low’ dusty and sandy cottou has been used by
spinners ut the price they have paid for it iu Liver
pool.
A Rival of Blohdin. —A few days since, ac
cording to tiie Columbia (Pa.) Democrat, Mr.
Theodore McD. Price was couveyed to the island
opposite Espytown, in a boat, when he ascended a
tree, to which the ferry wire was attached, and
walked the wire across the Susquehanna, a distance
of 1,200 feet, and 80 feet above the water, with a
balance pole, performing the feat in twelve min
utes, with the wind blowing a strong gale, and the
wire swaying to and fro.
Corrisponfience of the Press and Tribune.
Crossing Niagara Fulls on Stilts.
Niagara Falls, Feb. 12, 1859.
Feeling sure that the readers of the Press and
Tribune will be interested in the recital, 1 write to
give an account, however imperfectly, of one of
the most reckless teats of daring ever attempted.
One evening, about a week ago, while sitting iu the
• doon of the International Hotel, I‘became inter
ested in an animated conversation which was in
progress between two persons, of whom one seemed
to be a Southerner and the othe an Italian. The
latter had registered his name as “ Signor Gaspa
Moreili;” but I have since learnt that he is really a
Yankee boy, that he was born and raised near
Stonington, Connecticut, and dubbed by his affec
tionate parents Andrew Greenleaf. As he grew
old he was afflicted with an intense desire to be
come a circus performer, and finally ran away from
home to connect himself with somestroling compa
ny. He was for a while a member of Harnum’a
immense “Show,” and his astonishing performance
on stilts will be remembered by thousands.
He bad before this time assumed the name he
now bears, as well to escape recognition as to avoid
the fate of a “ prophet in his own country.” He is
a handsome, frank looking man of about twenty
five, lias a fair complexion, and wears a small black
moustache. At preseut he is staying here without
an engagement. The conversation referred to was
a discussion upon the possible feats which might
be accomplished by a man upon stilts. Signor
Moreili, as I will call him, asserted bis ability to do
many tilings, a belief in which required considera
ble faith. The > utiierner, who is a well-known
sporting gentleman of New Orleans, evidently
thought the Signor was lying pretty hard, and at
bis lust announcement he laughed long and loud.
Moreili had in fact expressed his conviction that
he could cross Niagara river , walking upon stilts ,
between Goat Island and the Falls. “ I’ll bet you
a thousand dollars to fifty it cau’t be done,” ex
claimed the Southerner. “I accept the challenge,”
answered Moreili quietly.
The astonishment of his bearers at this reply
may be imagined. “ When do you propose to at
tempt it?” inquired the challenger. “On Satur
day morning, the 12th of February,” tranquilly re
plied Gnspa. The assurauce with which he spoke
filled every one with surprise, which was not less
ened when he produced the money for his deposit.
The stakes were handed over to Mr. Augustus
Train, of Buffalo, and the company separated to
await the result of this singular wager. The inter
val was spent by Moreili in constant exercise for
the purpose of strengthening his limbs, somewhat
relaxed by a season of rest. Ilis friends expostu
lated in vain against the apparently insane hazard,
and even proposed to return to him the amount he
would be compelled to forfeit. He seemed sure of
winning, aud would listen to no one. To avoid a
crowd it was announced that the attempt would be
made upon the fourteenth, (Monday,) instead of
to-day ; so that at seven this morning there were
only about thirty persons by the river bank.
Punctually at that hour Moreili appeared in fine
spirits and condition. He had with him a pair of
stills about twelve feet long, made of wrought iron,
flat, sharp-edged and pointed, shaped, in fact, al
most precisely like a doubled-edgcd dagger. These
were firmly lashed to his legs, and be walked to
wards the terrible river with a confident smile.
The morning was clear and cold, but lie was attired
very lightly, in a dress not unlike that usually worn
by professional gymnasts. At ten minutes past
seven he stepped into the water, which in another
moment was boiling, surging, and rushing beneath
his feet. The boldest of the lookers on held his
breath in suspense as the daring mail receded from
the shore. He alone seemed unmoved, and passed
on slowly and carefully, avoiding the larger rocks
which were made apparent by the eddying current.
His steps at first were very short and carefully
made, but afterwards became bolder and longer.
The stilts of course were so placed that the cur- ‘
rent struck only against their sharp edges and
produced but little effect; but the danger from the
sunken rocks, and the conviction that a single false
step would send him to death, produced a feeling
which was horribly painful. Ouce or twice he
seemed to lose bis balance, and a sickening shud
der ran through eacli one of the beholders. Re
covering himself he still kept on, still receding, un
til to our straining eyes be could scarcely be dis
tinguished from the foamiug waters.
The middle of the river was attained at iast,
hours seemed to have fled, but it was barely seven
teen minutes since he left the shore.
As he approached the deepest and most danger
ous part of his route the suspense became more
fearfully intense. No word was spoken, except
that one man offered another five dollars for a mo
ment’s use of his lorgnette, which offer passed un
heeded. Just as Moreili reached the swiftest and
deepest portion of the current he seemed to totter,
sink; he threw up his arms! I closed my eyes.
Opening them a moment after, I 6aw that he was
still standing. A few moments more and he had
reached the Canadian bank, and fell exhausted into
the arms of two men who were waiting to receive
him.
At this hour (3 P. M.) be has nearly recovered,
and, though still in bed, receives the congratula
tions of dozeus of visitors who come pouring iu.
He left the American shore nine hundred and sixty
feet above the fall, and came out about one thou
sand feet above tiie Canadian. The money has
already been banded over to him, and ail will agree
that it was fairlv won. TTis generous opponent is
abb’ to afford his io- -\ and speaks in praise of Mo
relli more enthusiastically than an).
Yours, truly, WM. COLLINS.
Packing Cotton—A lVord to Planters
The past season great complaints have been made,
at all shipping points, about mixed packed, and wet
packed cotton, that is, wet lumps, aud layers of
inferior qualiy interspersed throughout the bale.
That can b very easily avoided by keeping dif
ferent qualities separate in the gin or cotton houses,
and bping cautions in the use of water whilst pack
ing. Large quantities should never be suffered to
accumulate in the lint-room ; assoon-as two or three
bales are gined it should be packed, this would
prevent it from being mixed.
Many planters only pack once a week and some
not oftener than once in two or three; now in these
cases if there should be a leak in the roof, rain
will get in, and from this cause wet lumps are bound
to be in the bale. If the day for packing should
be showery, (and many men select such days for
packing) there is almost sure to be wet layers, in
the bale, from the rains driving in upon it.
From the above causes, as well as too free use
of water in endeavoring to pack heavy bales, we so
frequently hear of wet picked cottou ; and owing
to the accumulation of several qualities in the lint
room, it gets mixed up in the bale, the value impaired,
and the planter suspected of fraud, when, in fact,
there was no intention to pack falsely. We venture
that no man ever loses anything by being particular
‘in putting up cotton, but on the other hand money
is actually made by it. As the season for packing
is about to commence, and many planters are
building new screws, we suggest that the boxes be
not made more than 22 to 24 inches wide and, not
more than to 5 feet long. Those using Ken
tucky bagging should only put in as much cotton
as two and a half breadths will completely cot or.
Those using India bagging should cut it in three yard
pieces, and sew the selvages well together with
twine, aud cut it at the bag end, so as to reverse
the filling, or large thread which is much stronger,
and put in no more cotton than six yards of bag
ging will well cover. Put on six good ropes, se
curely fastened, as the bagging and rope always
pays for itself. Planters storing their cotton at
shipping points should see to it, that the warehouses
are dry, and that the bales do not come in contract
with the ground. In storing cotton at home be
particular und keep it under cover and if you have
a landing on the river, do not suffer it to lie ex
posed, but 6hip by first boat as the river mud is apt
to adhere to the bales, and damage them seriously.
Wait for no particular boat, but always ship by the
first boat that parses in good weather. Five hun
dred pounds is enough to put in a bale, for cotton
will not sample as well when it is pressed too tight
ly, and when seven or eight hundred pounds is put
in two breadths of bagging, considerable cotton i
exposed on the sides, ropes burst off, and a 10.-s is
the consequence. These suggestions are thrown
out under the conviction that a great deal of trouble
and expense might be saved to our planting friends,
by being more particular in preparing their cotton
for market.
We venture the assertion that cotton properly
handled, will, in the long run, amply remunerate
the planter for any trouble he may be at in handling
it nicely.— Eufaula Express.

The ( liiriqu! Grave Dlsgingt,
David, (Chiriqci.) August 1, 1859.
I have ouly time to drop you a line to say that
ilic story of there being plenty of gold in the
“ Inioeas” is no buiubug. I think that three-fourths
of the natives who have returned have each from
§SOO to £IO,OOO worth of gold. I shall go up to
(he place about thirty miles from here, where there
re some three hundred natives digging. The In
dians are coming in every day with from three
hundred to five hundred dollars worth, which sells
here at $1,60 the Castilians, or about $9,60 Iper
ounce trov weight. Some of it is mixed with Top
per, but the greater part is pure gold. The Indi
ans want to sell the poor but bold on to the finest
gold. I have seen some images weighing twenty
three ounces, aud some iiulc ones not over one
eighth of an ounce. I have a lot of pots, images,
corn-grinders, &e., takqn from the graves.
The graves are all single, dug in the ground, and
each is covered by nine or ten flat stones from the
river. They find the pots and other earthenware
about four feet below the surface, and the gold
front two to three feet below that. The large gold
is deeper than the small. No bones arc found in
the graves, but traces of human hair are found in
some. There have been no figures, of course, of
horses, dogs, cows, or of any of the European ani
mals found in the graves. Many of the vases have
painted letters, very similar to the Chinese, on
them; and I saw one gold figure of the human
head with the “ almond eves” of the Chinese. I
have seen some plates of gold with a figure or let
ters like a Chinese character.
It is so rainy here, at this season, that I believe
none but natives can work ; and I would, there
fore, advfte all strangers to wait till the dry season,
(in January,) as there are graves euough for ten
thousand to keep robbing for the next hundred
years.
Correspondence of the New York Tribune.
Tanama, August 18, 1859.
The graven images obtained lrom the Indian
burying places in Chiriqui still continue to be our
nine days wonder, and the recent accounts receiv
ed from that locality, together with the further ar
rival of a quantity of the gold, lias tended to keep
up the excitement. Since i last wrote a little coast
ing vessel has arrived, bringing about one hund
red or one hundred and fifty pounds’ weight of
the images in the hands of passengers. Those
that 1 have seen were of finer gold than the first
lot received here, and some of the figures were
exceedingly well executed ; indeed it ?s a pitv to
think that their ultimate destination is probably
the melting-pot. Letters from the locality ail state
that the quantity of gold already obtained is very
great, though the value is variously estimated, and
all agree in staling that the number of “ huacas”
is sufficient to furnish employment to thousands of
diggers for some time to come. The weather at
present is unfavorable for working, the rains are
heavy, an 1 the rivers (with which the country
abounds) flooded. It would be difficult, therefore,
to explore the interior, especially as the country
is uninhabited except by a few Indians, aud it
would be necessary to carry along provisions, tents,
tools, &c. The dry season sets in in December and
lasts until about the middle of Mav. During this
time it would not be difficult to “prospect” the en
tire State, not only for graves, but with the hope
of finding the sources from which so much gold
has been obtained, and which are known by tradi
tion to exist within its limits. During the past
fortnight three small vessels, with passengers, have
.-ailed here tor Chiriqui, and three more are
advertised. The Panama Railroad Company’s
steamer wi.l also touch off the port on her wav up,
and look up some passengers. If any parties are
coming out i would advise them to wait, and, above
all, not to think of getting into the country by the
Atlantic side at this season of thq year, as I see
some persons propose doing. The ‘ distance from
1 anaina to the port of David is about twenty-four
hours steaming, and from three to six davs to
sailing vessels, thence up the river to the town of
David, eight or ten hours in boats, and from Da
vid to the nearest huacas about six hours’ ride.
The rivers, ol wffich there are several to cross, are
all now very high, and some of them rather dan
gerous to ford.
Another vessel has arrived just as I am writing,
*’ ingiug a still further quantity of gold, and very
iavorable accounts from the first party who left
uere the latter end ol July. A large quantity of
crockery ware, of very curious designs, has also
been brought down. Heavy rains prevent exten
sive explorations, but there is little doubt that vast
amounts of gold will be found in January.

A Fictcre of Mr. Buchanan.— The Washing
ton States, one of the most ably edited Democrat
ic papers in the country, makes the following in
dictment against James Buchanan, whose ability
and patriotism, the Democratic Convention which
lately sat at Milledgcville endorsed so heartily :
“He found a redundant treasury—-he squander
ed the surplus, and is now clamorous for an in
crease of taxation to supply an unaccountable de
ficiency. The necessities of the Government de
mand economy of expenditure ; the estimates are
hard upon a hundred million. The people were
induced to anticipate a return to the simplicity and
purity of early days ; never did corruption exhib
it such rank luxuriance of growth in every depart
ment ol the public service. They were promised
reform —they have an aggravation of abuse. They
expected retrenchment—they are insulted by pro
posals for the most absurd and mischievous appro
priations. Millions have been expended for the
support of Mormonism and the abomination flour
ishes with uudiminished vigor and a more auda
cious ambition. Much profession of fidelity to
State rights was indulged by the Administration,
and its pledges are redeemed by protective tariff's
and Pacific railroads.
The country was instructed to rejoice over the
renunciation of the right of search by Great Brit
ain, and, in the midst of the triumph, American
ships are boarded in American waters, and subjec
ted to every species of indignity.
Will the Intelligencer Answer ?—We are
credibly informed thrt Joe Brown has recently re
ceived a letter from Mr. Toombs, informing him
that he (Brown) could command his service in the
present campaign in any portion of the State, and
as Senator Toombs has declared in his Lexington
“2ecl in favor of Douglas for the Presidency, we
want the Intelligencer to inform the public wheth
er or not Joe Brown is for Douglas. Senator
Toombs being for Douglas and Brown both, it is
presumable that Brown is for Douglas. If Joe
Brown is for Douglas the people wish to know it.
Will the Intelligencer answer?— Confederacy.
