Counting Chicken* Before they are
Hatched.
Last fall it was said that the cotton
crop would not reach over 2,800,000
hales, and yet the prospect is now good
for it to considerably exceed 3,000,000.
And this spring the frost had hardly
nipped our potatoe patches before it
was gravely announced that “he must
be a sanguine speculator about large
crops, who believes that the next crop
will exceed three million bales.”
Now, is not all this suggestive of the
boyhood pastime of counting chickens
before they are hatched. An average
crop would now be in the neighborhood
4,000,000, and excepting slight damage
here and there from frost, and from
floods, on a few of the Western rivers,
perhaps we have never had a more
promising prospect for an abundant har
vest. Verily lie must be a croaker, in
deed, who would cry out “short crops”
at this period of a season like this.
Failures In England During the
Commercial Pressures.
The London Times publishes a state
ment, showing the 'esults of 161 of the j
suspensions (including five large banks)
which occurred during the commercial \
crisis, with total liabilities to he met
of about $207,000,000, and on which I
the deficiency now appears to be about j
19 per cent. Out of 52 London firms 10 (
appear to have paid, or to be about to l
pay, in full, while of the provincial |
houses the number that have attained
this conclusion is only nine out of 09.
On an average the failures were for
about $1,375,000 each ; and supposing
the creditors to each firm, apart from
those which paid in full, to be thirty,
the number of houses inconvenienced
would be 3,780; and the average ulti
mate loss of each would be about $lO,-
000. Nearly one third of the suspen
ded houses in London have paid in full,
andabout one-seventh in the provinces. 1—

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
(Inquirer, referring to the alleged con
session of a dying sailor in Texas, in re
j gard to the death of this lady, rather
| gives color to the idea, in the following
|paragraph.
On reading this account, I regarded
it as a fiction ; but, on conversing to
day with an officer of the navy, he as
sures me of its probable truth, and
states that on one of his passages home
some years ago his vessel brought two
pirates in irons, who were subsequently
executed at Norfolk for recent offences
and who, before the execution, confes
' sed that they had been members of the
.same crew, and participated in the
J murder of Mrs. Allston and her com
j panions.
- Bli-.sliigs In Disguise.’*
IVe received from the talented an ;
thor—who modestly witliolds his name
—a little tract of the above title. It is
especially designed for young men,
and we copy the following introducto- !
ry paragraph to show the glowing fer
vor of its style.
Young man, I love you as a brother:
I know your generous, confiding nature
your sweet visions, your plans, your
enjoyments. You expect much from
the world ; your very soul is delirious
with hope : all men who smile upon
you, or press you cordially by the hand
are your friends, who would make any
sacrifice to serve you. The sun '
gives vlight to enable you to pursue -
your amusements ; darkness comes but ;
to vary your cup of bliss. Such is your
infatuated opinion! Go on, revelry, 1
idleness, evil associations, a few oaths,a
few broken Sabbaths, and the gentle :
boy on the verdant hill top, held back
by a mother’s love, will leap downward
I rolling faster and faster as he descends,
until recovery is impossible. When
; you are dashed into fragments, no pray
ers, no healing remedies, no surgery can
' restore you.
Wo commend the tract especially to
i the Young Men’s Christian Association,
i It may be had of the Agent of the tract
t Society, for distribution.

The FI 111 busters In Mexico.
The Mexican Boletin Official, of Mon
terey, of the IBth and 19th ult., states
that there has been some sort of a disa
, greement between Col. Lockeidgb and
> Gen. Henning sen. Both these officers
i tendered their services to Vidaurri—but
j Locicridoe’s offer was coupled with
such conditions and based on such in
tentions, that it was rejected.
- It appears that Lockridgo wrote last
month from Brownsville to Vidaurri,
■ j offering him men and arms in aid of
. | the Liberal cause, on condition that, on
: the termination of the war, a Mexican
’ port should be placed at his disposal, to
'be used as a point d’apput for operations
I I against Cuba. He acknowledged his
(connection with the Nicaragua expedi
tions, hut said he was deceived, and in
'! sisted on his plan of operations against
’jCuba, as a condition of rendering his
, ; aid to the Liberal party,
i Vidaurri replied, courteously refusing
'to admit foreign troops, on the ground
'! that he had no need for them, and that
it would not be proper to permit them
to interfere in the affairs in Mexico, say
j ing that men without a flag would in
| spire distrust, whatever might be their
antecedents.
I Lockridge replied, as has been before
stated, denouncing Henningsen as an
| agent of Walker. To this, Vidaurri re
sumed an answer rather summarily
dismissing Lockridge and his preten
; i sions.
| Tlie Boletin then goes on to denounce
i as an absurdity the idea entertained in
the United States, that the people of
’ Northern Mexico desire to establish an
i independent republic, and declares that
. even *if they entertained such a desire,
they would a thousand times repudiate
1 it rather than seek foreign aid for its
consummation.
The Boletin of the 19th contains a
letter from Gen. Henningsen, in reply
to the charges of Lockridge, in which
he denies that his presence in Mexico is
in any way connected with Walker or
■ the Mexican difficulties.
One of the finest specimens of a la
conic speech on record is that of Roche

' T he Columbia (S. C.) Guardian, so

Suicide of William Henry Herbert.
This gentleman, generally known as
| a Magazine writer and author, under
the alias of “Frank Forester,” com
mitted suicide by shooting himself at
the Stevens House, in New York, on
the 17th inst. He had been married
just three months, and his wife had left
him. It is said that the marriage was
rather a romantic one—they having
first met in Broadway, where she was
walking alone, when a person insulted
her, and Herbert interfered to protect
her. From this her brother invited
him to their house, and they were soon
married.
Herbert was the son of the Dean of
Manchester, having been horn in Lon
don in 1807. He had been in this
country twenty years. He has lead a
very wayward life, and his follies and
troubles have been topics of general
gossip. %
Mr. Herbert enjoyed the advantages
of a classical education, having gradu
ated at Caius’ College, Cambridge, in
1829. Pecuniary reverses caused him
to seek his fortune in this country,
where he arrived in 1831, and for se
veral years devoted himself to teach
ing. He edited the American Monthly
Magazine, from 1833 to 1836 ; and
about that time, issued his first novel,
“ The Brothers.” Then followed “Oli
ver Cromwell,” next, “Marmadukc
Wyvil,” and the “Roman Traitor.”
“His “Field Sports,” and “Fish and
Fishing,” and numerous other contri
-1 butions to the sporting literature of the
day, under the nom de plume of ‘ ‘Frank
Forrester,” had a wide popularity.
He afterwards published a translation
of “Prometheus," and “Agamemnon,”
| and in 1851 issued a historical series of
|the “Captains of the Old World.”—
Soon after he issued the “Cavaliers of
England, Scotland and France,” and
\ the “Chevaliers of France.” His last
I work was the “ Home and Horseman
i ship of America." Thus it will he seen
j that lie has not been a literary idler,
■ and his untimely end is a deplorable
■ i illustration of the weakness and wick
edness of human nature.
Mr. llerhet left two letters, which
i were identified as his hand-writing.—
jCne of them was directed to the “press
■of the United States,” and contains 1
| these passages:
“ Before going to my account, I j
i would say a few words to the Press of I
America, and to its conductors, as to
men among whom I have for many j
years been more or less associated.
“ I have my faults, my failings; I (
have done my share of evil in my life, i
perhaps I have done my share of good
likewise.
“Os my private history, few men
know anything, fewer still know much
—no one knows the whole ; it cannot
concern the public to know anything.
As a writer let me ho judged; as a man
let my God judge me.
“I implore not praise, not a favora
ble construction—l implore silence. For
what I have to account with God, let
me account with God, and not with
man, who may uncertainly perceive and
distinguish facts, but certainly cannot
perceive causes or divine notions or in-1
tentions.
“ I have done many things wrongly, j
many things of which I am ashamed, j
many things of which I have sincerely -
repented, many things under the pres
sure and temptation of poverty and ne
cessity, to which I am not accustomed
, by my condition, which I hope I should
not do again under any temptation.
‘I am very sorry, I have been weak
at times and have fallen—who lias not
done so?
“For justice sake, for charity’s sake,
for God’s sake, let me rest. I hear an
honorable name. I have striven hard, -
in great trials, in great temptations, in '
a foreign country, in a false position
among men who did not, perhaps could
not, sympathize with ine, to keep it
l honorable—as you would have your
i own names honored and your sons pre
. serve them to you, I charge you do not
dishonor mine. Few will miss me when
1 I am gone; probably none lament me—
so be it! Only, I implore you, do not
misinterpret and malign me.
“Remember, now, all you that would
1 assail me, that my back is turned forever ;
. that henceforth I can disapprove no
slander that is spoken of me; that with ;
me no witness can be evermore con
fronted ; that from no accusation, how
false so ever, can I prove myself not (
1 guilty. Os all cowardice, the most base
1 and cruel is to strike the dead, who can ,
make no defence or answer.
“Remember, also, when you judge
( me, that of all lives, mine has been the
’ most unhappy.
“No counsellor, no friends, no coun
[ try have been mine for six and twenty
dreary years ; every hope has broken
down under my foot as it touched it;
1 every spark of happiness has been
i quenched as soon as it had been han
| died.
“If I have sinned much and sorrow
ed much, I have also loved much more
1 perhaps than 1 have either sinned or
1 sorrowed. It is the last drop that over
flows the golden bowl, the last tension
that breaks the silver chord. My last
(hope is gone— my last love and my life
go together—and so, good night to
Henry Herbert.
