Iverson, of volume 4 and 5 ot the “Explorations and Surveys for a Railroad Route from the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean.” Somethin" about Cotton. All speculation about the extent of j the crop, and the prices that are likely. to prevail at any given period,are soun-j certain, and depend so much upon coil-, tingencics, that we have abstained! from offering our readers any special ! calculations of our own. The most that we have done has been to venture the \ opinion, early in the season, that the i crop would fall little short of 3,000,000 bales, and from that we predicated the! folly of holding cotton over in tire hope j of better prices. It is not our purpose j now to offer advice, or to indulge in j prophetic observations, hut merely to! follow up the positionnssumed in the be ginning of the season, in favor of sell-; ing cotton early. At the same time wo j do not assume that prices may not possi- j bly appreciate during the summer. They j will be likely to do so, if the time-hon ored cry of frost, boll-worm, bad stand, drought, &c., &c.,. industriously para ded through the papers, can galvanize the nerves of speculators, by creating the impression that the crop is to boa failure. This device ought to he stale ; hut it each year assumes some new guise, and never fails, in a greater or less degree, to influence the scale of prices. It is evident that planters are determin ed to “hold on,” so long as the present margin between the ports of this coun try and Europe exists. We shall not quarrel with them for so doing, now 1 that sufficient cotton has been sold to afford partial relief to the country ; but 1 we will simply suggest some collateral 1 influences worthy of consideration, * while each should form his own con clusions, and act accordingly. The light stocks in Liverpool, and ( light receipts injthis country, has had ) much to do with keeping up prices. It is also very evident that the fear of de- pression in Liverpool from out increased receipts depresses our markets. What extent this increase is likely to reach is also an interesting point of specula tion. There are some subjects of which we can only judge the future by the , past, and from a table which we lately j noticed in some of the commercial eir- 1 culars, it appears that the average re- ( eeipts after March 15th, for 14 years, ] have been 660,000 bales ; which would make the present crop 2,878,928 bales But while there has been extraordinary delay in getting cotton to market this • year, if we add the receipts of 1857 af ter this time,it will only make the crop | 2,067,978 bales ; if we add those of 1856 < it will swell the crop to 3,109,997 bales; if we add those of 1855, when , the crop only reached 2,847,339 bales, we shall swell the crop to 3,325,818 bales. Wo must make reasonable al lowance for the presumed short crop, and also bear in mind the very great annual increase in tlie amount of acres planted now, compared to 1844, when the basis of our average begins., Any reasonable comparison does not seem to warrant the conclusion that the crop will he short of 3,000,- 000. The next question is, will a crop of tiiat extent meet the demands of trade, or will prices advance still fur ther. This must depend altogether up on the condition of the manufacturing interests. It is very clear that the whole consuming public are buying fewer goods than usual; and it is not very dear that manufacturers here or abroad will pay even present prices for cotton to work up into goods to be stor ed in warehouses for a market. We merely throw out these hints, confefs ing our utter inability to foresee what may turn up to verify, or refute them. Cotton is at best a “very fluxious arti cle.” and at its present prices we are in clined to think both buyers and manu facturers will do best who touch it lightly ; while farmers will be very well paid, who clear out their gin-houses at present rates, pay their debts with the proceeds, and go with a clear con science and light heart about making another crop. VF A scrap of political history is re vived by a writer in the Richmond Whig. In 1808, James Madison, the au thor of the celebrated Resolutions and Report of 1798--”99, the text book of the Secessionists, was elected President of the United States. On the Bth day of December of that year, the electors of Virginia, at the head of whom was Spencer Roane, one of the Judges of the Supreme Court, and a leader of the State Rights party, met in Richmond to cast the vote of the State. They dined together at the old Swan Tavern, and, as usual, drank toasts and made ■peeches. Among the regular toasts prepared 'for the occasion and drunk with approbation by the company was the following : “ Tie Union of the States: The majority must gpvernl it is treab. 0* to recede 1” / Why is a newly married man like a horse ? Because he is bride-led. Mr, W. H. Crisp. . The Nashville Ilanne', in alluding to a paragraph, which we obtained from a : Tennessee paper, in reference to Sir. Crisp, says : Our friends arc in error. ‘Crisp s Ga iety’ at Nashville is in ‘ the full tide of successful operation,’ and we presume is in no danger of being ‘closed up, : True, he is almost blind, but tins does not disqualify him for bis business cith j er as an actor ora manager. We merely desire to assure our Nash ! vilie friends, a3 well as Sir. Crisp, that v,-e were actuated by no willingness to I do him injustice—and no one can more earnestly wish him success than wc do.' —— Georgia Ilcms. I! The Athens Watchman is credibly in formed that in Jefferson the other day a ; man who was very drunk having vomi- I ted in the street, some hogs passing I I along stopped and helped themselves to 'las much as they wanted, and shortly : i thereafter died, notwithstanding the es. I forts that were made to save them! — * What killed the hogs f Was it the I strychnine in the whisky ? Who will j drink buckeye whiskey after this; The same paper, whose editor has j been visiting the various counties of the l circuit, says the prospect of a good crop j of wheat throughout that section of the ! State is at this time very flattering. It is true thatit is not so forward, perhaps, as usual, hut there is an unusually good “ stand ” everywhere, as far as we have observed, and a large quantity of land sown. It is yet a long time till harvest, however, and many disasters— the rust, among others—may over take it. .©. Tliv K.iioxv)lle Synod. “ Tlie United Synod of the Presbyte rian Church in the United States of America, recommended by the Rich mond Convention, will be held in the city of Knoxville, Tennessee, on the first Thursday (the Ist day) of April next, at 7 o’clock P. M. This is the southern session of the New School General Assembly.” -•-« Further from Texas The steamship Charles Morgan, Cap- ' tain Place, from Galveston, arrived this ( morning. The Jefferson (Cass county) Herald, j of the 11th, says the bayou at that , point continues to fall rapidly. The Goliad Express, of the loth I inst., furnishes the following intelli gence : The bodies of two Mexican cartmen were found day before yesterday morn ing, on the San Antonio Road, above the Cabeza creek in this county, with every appearance of having been mur dered in a cruel and cowardly man ner. The grasshoppers are hatching out in millions from the eggs deposited by the swarm which fell upon us last No vember. Up the river, and as far west as the Nueces, we learn they cov- r the prairies. So far they have confined their attacks entirely so herbs in tlie prairie, not troubling the grass or tlie j crops. Several fine droves of horses have ar- j rived from Mexico meeting no acei- j dents, and the spring trade lias opened briskly ; about six hundred changed hands at from $lO to $25. Os riding ponies we notice an unusual number, and very fine ones, from $35 to SIOO. No sales of mules, but several tine droves have arrived, held at $45 to SSO There is great demand for beef, both for driving and shipping. Beef is in fine order, ruling rates sls,choice herds $lO. Special Correspondence of the Dispatch. Chattanooga, Tenn., 1 March 23, 1828. j I arrived here this morning, having : been detained at Ringgold in couse . quence of the collision at a point one mile below Dalton, of which you have lieanl. : Ringgold is a stirring place ; wheat is , the staple production, and it is selling r at Go cents just now ; there is quite a ’ lot in farmers hands, and the growing I c/n p looks unusually promising. •r The Railroad house is a comfortable ~ place where a large number of families board, and enjoy themselves with an occasional cotillon party, one of which j I had the pleasure of participating in _ last night. Some folks think it is wick ed to dance, I don’t. y/ I This Chattanooga Is scattered around . considerable, but will thicken up as the . fuel is applied to the business cauldron. This is a depot for coal, and the West ern and Atlantic Railroad and the Geor gia Railroad ought to build coal cars, in - conjunction, and run them through , without changing, so that Augusta would use no other coal. It must lie ’ done sooner or later, and the sooner it i is done the more advantage will accrut to the roads and to this section of the country, as against Northern coal.

Washington, March 22, 1858. SENATE. The Senate met at ten o’clock this morning and resumed the consideration of the Kansas bill. Mr. Stuart, in the course of his speech spoke in terms of eulogy of the course of Messrs. Bell, of Tennessee, and Crit tenden, of Kentucky, saying that they had administered a fatal blow to this Leeompton deformity. That to have taken an humble part, with them, in the work of striking from this contri vance was consolation enough for all that had been said against him,and that as the glad news would speed over the land that the American Congress had i ejected it, the people would rejoice tint Leeompton was dead and the peo- ple of Kansas free. Mr. Bayard made a speech in favor of ( tlie bill, and occupied several hours in a legal argument upon the subject. After a recess tlie Senate met at 7 o’- ; dock this evening. It is expected that , -Senator Douglas will speak and that Mr. Green will close the debate to-night and that the vote will be taken to-rnor . row-. There is a tremendous rush of . spectators, and it is nearly impossi ble for one to enter or leave the chatn -1 her. HOUSE. Mr, Stephens ( tiered a resolution to discharge John W. Wolcott from the custody of the Seargeant-at Arms, and : to turn him over to the proper law officers for trial before the Criminal Court. Mr. Phillips offered a substitute, pro posing to suspend the further proceed ings of the House,and that Mr. Wolcott be bound over for trial. Mr. Stephens said he offered liis reso lution as an act of humanity, owing to the extreme indisposition of Mr. Wol cott’s wife. Mr. Stanton said a messenger of the committee had just returned from Bos ton, and from his information there is no such sickness. Mr. Stephens said he might be wrong but he had the information from a source which led him to place reliance in it. Mr. Stanton remarked that the com mittee expect to close the evidence this week, when they would move to hand Wolcott over for trial. Therefore he moved that the whole subject be laid upon the table ; which was disagreed to—yeas 22, nays 123. Mr. Hughes offered an amendment for the unconditional discharge of Mr. ! W r olcott, hut it was rejected- yeas 22, ' nays 161. Mr. Phillips’s substitute was laid up- 1 on the table, and Mr. Stephens's reso- j lution was adopted— yeas 125, nays 67. 1 Mr. Seward made a report from die > majority of the Committeeein the Mat- I teson case—against exercising jurisdic- 1 tion over the subject. Mr. Curtis submitted a minority re- < port. ( The further consideration of the sub- I jeet was postponed till Saturday. Tlie House went into Committee of 1 tlie Whole on the state of the Union, and took up, nominally, the Deficiency j appropriation Bill. Mr. Garnett, of Virginia, and Mr. Bishop, of Connecticut, made speeches in favor of the admission of Kansas un- ' der tlie Leeompton Constitution. The House continued the debate un til 6 1-2 o’clock and then adjourned. ( Slai'lliig I'p. , The Worcester Transcript says : We are glad to notice the slow but j steady resumption of business in all di- j ructions. The Quinisigamond Iron j Works fur rolling iron and mauufaetm- . ing wire, by Messrs. Washburn & Son, | is now running full time. An encouraging significant of tlie bet- | ter time coming may be witnessed up- ( on the line of railroad between this ci- . ty and Norwich. At Putnam, one of ' the most important points on the road more than half the spindles are now at , work. At Danielsonvillc, the mills of the Danielson Company commenced op eration some two weeks since ; the large mill of the Quinnebaug Company started a little earlier. In the east part of the same town, where on a small stream there were, a few days since,half a dozen inoperative mills in the space of a mile, a week hence will show the same number in full operation. The large cotton mill of E. S. Young, at Chestnut Hill, East Killingly. starts | next Wednesday. Farther south, the same cheerful significant may be more generally observed. In Norwich, wc | believe, every mill is running at full time and with complement of mechiue : ry. Body oT a Female Found. The body of a woman was taken from the Mississippi on the 15th or 16th inst. by two flathoatmen, Messrs. Smith and - Reed, who discovered it at Island 15, about one hundred and thirty-five miles above this city. The body is described 1 to us as being about five feet four inches ' in height, with a full form and dark - hair. The deceased was dressed in dark - luster, and a thimble, a pair of small • scissors, and live keys, which were i united with a string, were found in the i dress pocket. A pocket-book was also > found in the bosom of the deceased, ' which contained fifty-one dollars—three ten and one twenty, and one one dollar bill, all of which was on Gcor ■ gia institutions. The deceased appear ed to have been at her death twenty -1 eight or thirty years of age, and wore a gold ring on the fore-finger of her loft hand. The body was buried on Is , land 15, where it was discovered, as de . cently as circumstances would permit, i near the residence of Mr. Scarborough, , from whom further information relating ; to the body may be gained. It is very . probable that thedeceased wasoneofthe , unfoitunatc .passengers by the ill-fated , steamer Col.

There is a growing state of religious | feeling in this community. This is now j the third week of an interesting night-! ly meeting in Cumberland street church, j in charge of Rev. J. Stacy, at which j several persons have been converted.— j The Young Men’s Christian Association are now in the second week of a prayer j meeting, held every morning from 8 to 9 o’clock, in the Masonic Hall. These : meetings arc well attended, and are growing larger every day. On last Mon- j day afternoon from 5 to G o’clock, the j Circular Church was opened for a daily | prayer meeting, to be held by the vari-j ous pastors and their charges. The Pro- J testant Churches are all represented in j this meeting, and it is proposed to hold j it week by week in dineient churches. i Thus far the prog re s of the interest lias been encouraging, and we hope to ; be able soon to report that hundreds: have been converted. —Southern Christian j Advocate. *- The Newest JVovclty of Paris. We have just seen, says Punch , a new i crinoline petticoat, which b called La Crinoline dc Leviathan. So large are its j proportions that there is great doubt i; how the ciiuoline can be lauched. Ifcji is said that there is not a drawing room j in hurope extensive enough to hold it. j 1 This was a difficulty never contemplated j | by its fair builders. Another difficulty, j' not less perplexi ig, is how the daring |* belle, who takes the command of this ; enormous Leviathan, is to be lifted in!' and out of the crinolinean vessel without, damaging the surrounding rigging.—l, Nothing but a crane, such as is used for shipping horses, will oe able to triumph j, over this dilemma. The death of the venerable Rev. La t ban Ainsworth, of Jeffrey, N. H., is re-, ported. The event took place on Wed-, nesday, the 17th inst. The deceased' hud been pastor of the Congregational Church in Jeffrey seventy-forr ysars. His age was one hundred years, seven months and j twenty-eight days.

Wc take it for granted, as experiment has prr. ven that diseases of the lungs are not generally | the first cause of consumption, but a debilitated j a/stem, caused by the improper action of the j liver, which reduces the power of the lunrs to ] resist or throw off diseases caused by cold and j irritation, leaving the lungs at the mercy of this disease, because the liver has incapacitated them from performing th.eir proper action el : throwing off diseased mutter caused by cold. ! i Thus to prevent consumption, cure the liver ! and keep the sy stem strong enough to tiirow oil I slight diseases ol the lungs. I There is not in the world a better iiver rerne ! dy or a cure for debilitated system than Dr. ! Sanford’s Invigorator, for it has been fully tried i in a large and extended practice til! its results ; are fully known, and now it Is offered as a tried remedy, and one that can be relied on.—Lan caster Whig. mli9 A FEW hhds X 0 SUGAR, in store, 1 f\ and for sale by mh22 M.
