lune is a critical month with the cot
ton crop, and its condition during this
Lonth, affords a ground for estimate as
to its probable yield. Blooms are usual
]y abundant in all the cotton growing
country between the first and tenth of
the month. We have carefully observed
the reports of the crop in Georgia, and
cannot resist the conclusion, that the
crop is from two to three weeks later
than usual, owing to the cold and wet
spring. Blooms have not been leport
ed, as yet, in upper Georgia, and the
riant is uncommonly small.
We think the practice of reporting
the earliest blooms, as well as the first
bale, ought to be discontinued by plan
ters Thev all know that a solitary
bloom may occur two or three weeks
before the general blooming of the crop
and as to the first bale, there may be
spots in a field, manured with hot stable
manure, sufficient to produce a bale,
while the unmanured portion may not
have an open boll upon it. We lnue
heard of planters so eager to get the
reputation of having the first bale m
the market as to keep their little ne
groes in the field, armed with sticks,
with which they tapped the bolls-a
slight bruise causing them to open
sooner. ... !
In ail this, our planters arc injuring ,
their °wn interests. The Liverpool
dealers watch the reports of the crop ]
with eagle eyes, and knowing nothing j
about the growth or cultivation, they \
take all these boasts as indications of i
an early and consequently of a large j
crop. An extraordinary early ripe head
of wheat, or the first bushel, in the \
market, is just as good an indication of t
a large wheat crop, as the first blooms, t
first bales, or tall stalks that farmers are I

information of our fanners’ prospects, ’
&c. Wheat is fully harvested, and is |
over an average crop as to quantity, but ;
Somewhat inferior as to quality A |
considerable portion of the oat crop is
an entire failure—being ruined by th 9 J
rust or mold, as some term it. Where
not affected in this manner, I have nev ,
er seen finer oats. Corn aud cotton are
doing finely—the former is beginning
to suffer for rain ; the cool, windy,
nights, and hot days having dried the
ground very Tapidly. As I write this,
I am silting by the fire, and find it quite
oomfortable.

JIT The town of Montebello, when
the first battle was recently fought be
' between the French-Sardinian arnij
and Austrians, was the scene in tin
year 1800 of a mo3t sanguinary encour
ter between the French and Austrians
in which the former were victorious.—
» We find the following description o:
the last mentioned battle in one of oui
exchanges:
A CURIOUS HISTORICAL COINCIDENCE.
It is a curious historical coincident
that the battle of Montebello was tht
" first fought by the troops of Napoleon
s I. after crossing the Great St. Bernard
in 1800. It was one of the blood’est
, and fiercest ever fought. In disparity
, of numbers the resemblance is also re
-1 markable. Napoleon I. had then only
10,000 men, two-thirds of whom were
new soldiers, who had never seen a shot
tired ; and with these he was to arrest
the desperate march of an army of 120,-
000 veteran Austrians. It was necessa
sary for him to divide this little band
to save it from being cutto pieces be
fore he could receive reinforcements.—
With characteristic rapidity he moved
from point to point through Lombardy ;
with lightning glance his eagle eye per
ceived the movements and combinations
of the enemy under Melas. He knew
that a great decisive battle must soon
take place, for Melas was rapidly con
centrating his army from all points.—
To Lannes and Murat he issued the fol
lowing brief but remarkable order.
Gather your forces at the river Stra
della. On the Bth, or 9th at the latest,
you will have on your hands 15,000 or
18,000 Austrians. Meet and cut them
to pieces; it will be so many enemies
less upon our hands on she day of the
decisive battle wo are to expect with the
entire army of Melas.
The prediction turned out true. An
Austrian force of 18,000 strong advanced
and posted themselves strongly on the
heights of Montebello, with batteries
ou the hill side wiiich swept the plain.
It was of the greatest moment that this
body should be prevented from cornbin- ,
ing with the other vast forces of the
Austrians. Lannes met them with only ;
8,000 men. Yet they rushed on the
foe with a shout of enthusiasm. Their
ranks were swept with a storm of grape
shot. Said Lannes, “I could hear the
bones crash in my division like glass in
a hail storm.’’ For nine hours—from
eleven in the day till eight at night—
the carnage continued. Again and
again the mangled columns of the
French rallied to the charge; and it
was not till three thousand of their
men lay dead on the field that the Aus
trians broke and fled, also leaving three
thousand dead behind them, with six
thousand prisoners.
Napoleon, hastening to the aid of his
general, arrived just in time to see tho
battle won. He rode up to Lannes, sur
rounded by the dying arid the dead, his
sword dripping with blood, his face
blackened with powder, and his uniform
soiled and torn by the loug strife. Na
poleon smiled in silence, but did not for
get the heroism of Lannes, whom he
afterwards created, from this battle
field, “Duke of Montebello”—a title
which has descended to his family to
this day. It was the same hero who
had before saved the fight on the bridge
of Lodi, when the French were mowed
down by the Austrian cannon like grass,
and Napoleon’s generals said it was im
possible to advance. “Impossible is not
French,” said Bonaparte, as he seized a
standard and rushed forward shouting,
“Follow your general.” Lannes, how
ever, was ihe first to cross the bridge.
He dashed past his leader, pluugiug his
horse iuto the very midst of the Aus
. trian ranks, and grasped one of their
banners. At that moment his steed
fell dead beneatli him, and half a dozen
t swords glittered above his head. With
Herculean strength and agility he ex
, tricated himself from his fallen steed,
leaped upon the horse of an Austrian
behind the rider, plunged his sword into
1 the body of the rider, and hurled him’
1 from his saddle. He fought his way
back to his followers, haviug slain six
of the Austrians with his own h*aud.—
The bridge and the battle were won.— ,
For this deed of terrible energy Napo
leon promoted Lannes on the spot.
' The battle of Montebello was not
‘ without its influence on the immortal
victory of Marengo, wnich was fought
immediately after, (June 14,) and was
closely connected with it. There 20.000
Frenchmen under Napoleon met 40,000
A' strians, including 7,000 cavalry and
200 pieces of cannon, which irresistibly
swept Napoleon’s troops before them
till Desaix, so anxiously expected with
I his reserve of 6,000 men, arrived, and
i charged when ihe battle was deemed
. lost. The tide was turned. The Aus
trians were overthrown with terrible
slaughter. Twenty thousand men of
both sides lay dead on the field. De
n Ba ' x > ihe greatest general Napoleon
ever had, was among them. The First
1 Consul wept, and said the battle was
dearly bought. No doubt another Ma
rengo or an equally sanguinary and de
e cisive battle of some other name will
? soon be fought, when we shall probably
. know something of the qualities of Na
, poleon 111. as a general.

e Immense Conflagration 1
y Alabama aud Fontaine Warthoutes Burnt
le _
EIGHT THOUSAND BALES COTTON !
B > A most terrible and mysterious visita
- tion has befallen our city, and the con
)f sequent excitement and confusion is a
ir yet too great to allow of more than t
proximate estimate of its extent am
details.
:e About a quarter past nine o'clock or
ie Tuesday night, a lire was discovered
n breaking out among the cotton stored
d in the Alabama Warehouse, kept by
it Messrs. King, Allen & Camak. It spread
y with astonishing rapidity, appearing to
- leap across the tiers of bales.-as if oil 01
y turpentine were the conductor. In a
e very few minutes the whole inner court
t was blazing, and the heat was too great
t to allow of operations inside. Leaping
- across the wall that separated the Ala
- baina from the Fontaine Warehouse,
1 the latter, under the control of Messrs.
- Hughes, Daniel ik Co., was very’ quickly
also in a last-spreading blaze. It was
i impossible, on account of the heat and
; smoke, to stay within the walls and
roll out the cotton into the street, and
1 probably not more than twenty hales
were savod from the two warehouses !
As nearly as we could ascertain from
gentlemen belonging to these establish
ments, without reference to their books
the following is a close proximate re
port of the cotton destroyed : The Ala
bama Warehouse contained .some 5,250
bales; of this amount about 2,500 bales
belonged to planters, and it is presumed
that at least 2,000 bales of their cotton
were uninsured. IntheFantaine Ware
house there were at least 2,500 bales
cotton, and some 500 bales of it belong
ing to planters are known to have been
uninsured. It is also said that a por
tion of the amount stored by cotton
buyers was likewise unprotected. These
figures would make a loss of 7,760 bales
cotton, worth, at $55 per bale, $425,-
260.
Os bagging, there were probably
some 300 bales burnt—say 200 at the
j Fontaiue and 100 at the Alabama Ware
house.
There were about 100 hbds. of bacon
in the Fontaine Warehouse, and a large
quantity in the Alabama. Os this a
considerable portion was saved—we can 1
not yet learn what proportion. A
portion of it is known to have been in
sured.
In the Fontaine Warehouses, there
was a large quantity of flour, grain,
&c., and some valuable machinery, all
belonging to ihe Fontaine Company. A
portion of this was saved, and all, or j
nearly all, insured. The building was
also insured. The proprietors of tills !
warehouse saved their books and pa
pers, and probably lost only the accruing
storage on the goods destroyed.
The books and papers of Messrs. I
King, Allen & Camak, of the Alabama '
Warehouse, are in a safe, which yet
stands upright and uncovered by the
debris of the fire, and its valuable con
tents are probably preserved. The older
books and papers of Mr. Allen, and we
believe of King A Sorsby, are in another
safe, which appears to have been sub
jected to a very great heat and is yet
partially coveted by the burning ruins.
It is feared that they are destroyed.
The total loss of all property is pro
bably in the neighborhood of $600,000
—certainly over $500,000. We have j
not learned how the amounts insured !
are distributed among the Insurance Os- :
flees, but it is to lie feared that one or
two them will be very seriously dam
aged.
The several Fire Companies and en
gines were on tho spot with their usual
l alacrity, hut they might as well have
1 attempted to extinguish a powder mag
1 azine as the fire in the warehouses.—
. They, however, preserved from tho
, flames the close storage room on the
south-east corner of the Alabama Ware
house. They also, by great exertion,
• saved the hotel of Mr. Whitesides, on
The Southwest corner of the square,
and prevented the fire from crossing
' Front street. The hooks and ladders
iof Engine Co. No. 1 wero found to be
very efficient in this service.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
but the belief is general and strong that
it was the work of an incendiary.—
There is also reason to believe that the
i cotton was either tired in several places
> at once, or that turpentine or some other
) highly inflammable conductor was used
I to facilitate its spread. It ran along
. from tier to tier almost as if by a train
, lof gunpowder, and in five minutes fiom
1 the first breaking out, was an immense
I and intensely hot conflagration. It
I j was altogether uncontrolable from the
. very Btart.

—Honksdalk Co., Penn., Jan. 10, 1850—Mr.
eth W Fowls—Sir: Yeu arc at liberty to use
tnc following statement for the beueflt ol tho af
flicted :
I was attacked with the liver Complaint,
which apparently brought me to the brink ot
ihe grave. During my sickness 1 was attended
»y three physicians in our place, but received ,
ommendod fur such complaints, but they as- ,
ofded me no relief. As a last resort, I was 1
persuaded to try Wutar’s Balsam of Wild '
Murry, aud by using four bottles I was restored
to better health than I have enjoyed before for
ten years. This statement may be relied upon
as strictly true. Bwnpv I'ikkin.
The above certificate was given in the pre '
senee of Dr. A. Strong, ol Honosdale, who Is well (
known in his vicinity as asuccessful practitioner.
