Our estimate, calculated from every circumstance
and iiiConnution within our reach, is, that the crop will
clear from 1.300,000 to 1,325,000 bales, giving an in
crease on last year of 50 to 75,000.
The Atlantic States will export 550,000 bales; their
cron was la* 1 year of 493,000. The cuttou is sent in

Florida will export 50,000 bales. This is giving that
territory even a larger sum than the result w ill justify.
It must be borne iu mind that Indian hostilities will
prevent perhaps so much of the crop from reaching
the place of exportation.

New Orleans, Feb. 16—Ry Ii?A rece ived

conts from Santa Anna were, that he was . - t _
ing iu San Louis, under a pretext of aiigmenu..^
his force, to march ngaiust Texas, and they al
ready amounted to between 7 and 8000 men as
reported, hut that iu fact, there were only from 2
to 30UI); and although much was said about his
campaign against Texas, be will not go in per
son, fearing from (appearances) that there is a
gathering storm at baud, aud that he may be
hustled from power. It is also stated that the
Mexican Government view with distrust, all
pledges on the part of the United Stales, in pre
serving her neutrality.
By accounts from Cnrcpeachy, it appears the
report which has beeu circulated, that there were
vessels fining out there against Texas, is false.—
We hear also by accounts from Tampico, that
the state of Tamaulipns. and particularly Tam
pico aud viciuity, is in a state of very great ex
citement against Santa Anna aud bis advisers.—
It is feared that auothor revolution is on the eve
of breaking out; so mui-h so, that a body of6000
troops ordered from Tampico '.o'l’exas, were de
tained aud more nieu ordered from Mexico, to
co-opcrato with them in maintaining the present
Government. Ry private letters from Chchtiaha

This statement only shows the nnuiberof complaints
on which process lias been issued, exclusive of the lar
ger number of complaints dismissed as frivolous or for
want of sufficient proof. Tlie increase during tlie
first period of ten years, was about in the same ratio
a* the increase of Uie population. During the remain

miich greater ratio than the increase of population ;
indicating, us fur as it goes, a deterioration of morals.
If there he any other explanation of the phenomenon,
it docs not at present occur to our minds. During the

Col. Lokg’s Report.—We have just received
from a friend in Augusta, a copy of Col. Long’s
Report, on ‘-a Recominissnnce for a Rail Road
from the coast of Maine to Quebec.” It is quite
voluminous, mnkiug 80 pages octavo.—Wo have
time only to stato that it furnishes a table, pre
senting a general synopsis of the three routes,
—exhibiting the extent of each route,—the dis
tauces, under different gradations, for each route,
average cost per mile for road formation,—and
for this item iucludicg tho cost of railing for a
double track—the average cost per mile of this
last item, (grading and railing combined) inclu
ding nil nllowunceof Spereeut. for contingencies,
&c■ right of way excepted,—and the aggrgate
cost of each entire route, with the exception just
mentioned, all other expenses being iucltuled.
From the table referred lo, it appears that the
extent of a Rail load fiom Portland to Quebec,
would lie 277 miles,—from Wiscassct to Quebec
24G do,—from Belfast to Quebec, 227do. The
probable cost of way, $6.350,000,—of the second
$5, 423.000, aud of »he third a little more than
$4,607,000. According to these estimates the
average cost per mileol the first would be$22,-
923. of the second, 22,031, and of tho third $21,-
613.—Portland Daily Adv.
Further particulars of the destruction of
the Holland Laud Office by a Mob. From a
letter to the editor of the Albany Argus, dated at
Westfield, Cbuiitauque County, Feb. 8.
“Au exhibition of violcuce took place at May-
villc(ihe county seat) on Saturday evening the
6th instant, w hich will serve to illustrate the state
of the public feeling in this regiou. It is weil
known that the Holland Laud Company have
recently sold out tbeir lauds to other companies
and that the last sale including the county of
Chautnuqiie, except the town of Oharlotre*w
made to Messrs. Trumbull Carey aud others.
Suspicious haviug been excited with regard to the
intentions of the new companies, eouuty and town
meetings of the sejtlershavc been held, and com
mittees appointed to call upon the agents, add
asrertaiu their terms aud general policy.
Meanwhile the excitement had reached such
a height, that between 7 aud 800 persous assent
bled on Saturday, being well organized, and uuder
a commander, and marched to the land office,
forcibly removed the pillars, stripped off the
clap-boards, and turned the frame over iuto the
public road. All the hooks and valuable papers
of the office, a* well iu, as out of the iron chest,
haviug becu first taker, out, to the amount of two
sleigh loads, were conveyed about two miles to
Rnruhart’s inn aud there burnt. Fortunately the
agent was not to be found, or he alight, uuder the
feeling of the moment,have received personal iu

Latest erom Peru.—We have private advices
from Lima, to oct 15th. This ill fated coumry
is still in the midst of a civil war, carried on *vi:b
the fertility of blood hounds aud tigers. One of
Ihce parties has declared that his enemies shall
have uo quarter, while the other iu retaliation
has decreed that all officers captured of the rank
of Colonel, and all above that grade, shall be
immediately shot. The laws of war are disregar
ded, and personal security consists only with the
meaus of selfdefence. Iu pursuance ot the bloody
resolutions of the contending parties, several offi
cers have been execnled ou both side*.
The whole country i* infested with bnuditti,
who roh and plunder even to the gates of the city.
—Three foreigners, oue of whom was an Amer
ican had lately been robbed within sight of the
city wall, and the. Amcricnu tv as badly wounded.
Later iu the day, a party of inoqntecl men, a
specie* of land privateers, rode through the city
unopposed, and excited universal consternation.
The* inhabitants closed their door* in alarm,
nnd the people iu the street Were left to take cate
of themselves. After having rode through tho
city, however, they departed. In such a state of
things there is uo venturing with safety beyond
the city walls, nor eveu into the outskirt of the
city. The contending armies were approaching
each other, and a crisis in the affairs of ihe coun
try seemed to be at hand, but wbat would ho the
csult it was impossible to foresee.

The RUthodisl Book Concern,—Tjie meeting last eve

The official proceedings will be shortly published:

that upwards of thirteen thousand dollars were subscri

Beautiful Incident.—At a meeting of the citizens in
the Mctliodis* church Greene street, held Inst evening
for the purpose of taking measures to rebuild the noble
structure known as “The Metl odist Book Concern,”
very -interesting and impressive addresses were de
livered by the Rev. Dr Buugs and the Rev. flir.
Waugh, The history of that extensive institution,
from the iiifaucy, fifty years ago; its recent means of
great and extensive usefulness; and the efficient and
salutary nianuer in whicli they have been applied,
were disclosed in the most clear and satisfactory man
ner, and with the best possible effect, us will be sc»n in
the sequel. Iu tha course of his remarks, Dr. Bangs
related the following remarkable incident. Among
the burning fragments ol hooks and printed sheets
which were whirled aloft upon the wings of the flame,
and borne onward by those of the wind, was u paga of
the Bible, containing the xivth chapter of Isaiah. It
was picked up oil the morning of the conflagration a-
hout twelve miles distant, oil Long Island, aud before
the catastrophe was known which had carried it thith
er. Il was indeed a winged messenger of truth, in a
duuble sense, for the fact is uo less striking than au
thentic, that every word of the page was so marred as
to be illegible, save the ilth verse, which reads in the
words folio whig: “ Onr holy and beautiful house where
our father* praised thee, is burned up uith fire: and
all our pleasant things are lui/l^mste !’
We kuow not how the relation of this incident im
pressed others, but to us it appeared of striking inter
est and beauty. True, there seems no special reason
why such n message should have been providentially
sent to the man who found it; hut the message teas
sent, and all but the message was obliterated by the
melancholy occurrence of which it gave such signal
intelligence. The leaf was brought over to this city
by the finder, and has been placed in one of our hook
stores.

Mr. Leigh.—Wo are iu the dark about the

counter movement has been attempted—qnd i{ is

him with some signatures. “Cloud* ami dark

The Whig of yesterday appears to he at a
nonplus, hut hopes for the best. Its editor isnow
one of the Resigning School—but if Mr. L. should
hold ou, the Whig Editor will have tho credit of
having contributed to this event, as much as any
man in Virgiuia. The public has not yet for
gotten the language it held last year, about a
Senator’s obeying only what it pleased to desig
