Wha»- the Cotton Harvester Company desires to demonstrate is that their ltischine is specially adapted for gathering the cotton at precisely into three classes—namely, ttc Banner- men, the Troops of the Green Standard, the Volunteers or “Braves.” The Ban- nennen are the descendants of the Man- chu Tartars who conquered the country in the seventeenth century, and number about MO.COO.

The frame and roof of our Itouso were made by the natives, the sides being closed in with long leaves forty fifty feet dn length and tied with vines. There is not a nail in the whole house, and tho ground serves for a floor. Some of the settlers here plant orchards and send the fruit to New Or leans. Sugar cane is tiie crop at our settlement. It has to be planted only once in several years, and what little cultivation is necessary is done with the hoe, it being impossible to plough the land, os the stumps are too numerous. The forests are beautiful, and the ma hogany tree is eo common that we use its wood in our cooking stove. The hottest part of tho year is about tiie end of May, which is the close of the dry season, but the heat even then is less than with you in summer, for the sea breeze never fails us. The wet season begins the first of July, and lasts until Christmas, and the weather then is pleasant—liko our bright fall days. It rains only at night, the sun sinning hotly all day. But you never saw anything to equal the mud. The Caribs.or natives, are very black, but it is considered a great insult to call them negroes. They are cleanly and honest. They live on fish, cassada and green fruit. Cassada is a kind of bread which tiie natives make of a root, bak ing it on stones. It is very cheap, and we have learned to like it. Plantains, which arc a coarso variety of bananas, are a great help to the housekeeper, as they can be cooked in many different ways. One of our men shot a largo jaguar, or tiger, which came into our field after the oxen, and as we were told it was good to eat, we tried it, finding its meat white, and as tender as that of chicken. The natives cure meat by cutting it from the bone and hanging it in the hot sun to dry. One drawback to this beautiful country is the innu merable crowd of insects—ants, mos quitoes, gnats and hugs of all sorts There are, however, no house flies November is the orange season, and we have a good many fineoranges, but we have to buy them at tiie coast, where they grow better than inland. But our lemon trees are loaded and breaking down with ripe fruit, and it ia impossible for us to consume them all. Lemon etts tards and pics are a luxury wo can in dulge in without expense. Wo treat ourselves to pots of cocoanut candy, too. Tiie young people in this settle ment have a fashion oi getting up danc ing frolics, which are like our surprise turtles at homo, only they coolc up S iskets of provisions, as we do for pic es, and carry them with them. Some times the frolic lasts until daylight We have some splendid game In these woods, among which is the gibnut, a beautiful little animal, which, when cooked, tastes very much like snice fat little pig. In September wo planted a second crop of vegetables, including corn, but- ^^^■■^■^^■gcuhaws and cucumbers. June and November are tho planting seasons. Tiie fruits hero are, I think, as a general thing, un- wholesome, and we cannot indiscrimi nately eat them. Every stick, fruit, leaf or vegetable that you touch in this y leaves course he would pursue. In this the General cut it too short to satisfy tho Whigs. He had to write another letter- one of considerable length—to his friend, Captain Allison, in which he set tilings right. Tito authorship of this letter was tho subject of no little conjecture. If living, Thurlow Weed ami Alexander II. Stephens could shed light on the subject. After that the campaign went ahead smoothly and successfully. Although Mr. Weed makes no mention of this matter in his book, it was ono of tho most annoying episodes in his eventful life. Official Longevity, Tlmei-Democrit. Tiie fact that Gladstone has served Premier of England so long has called tiie attention of some American papers to English official longevity, and the marked ditl'erenco in this re spect between the statesmen of the United States and those of Great Brit ain. Gladstone has been a member of Par liament fifty-one years, Granville forty- seven, while a number of other distin- tuished Englishmen have served in farliainent over forty years; whereas in this country there is but one mem ber of Congress who has served even half that time. Granville lias been in office twenty-eight years, and in the cabinet twenty-one. Gladstone twenty- one and twenty years respectively. What American can show such u record? Not even Webster, Clay or Calhoun had any such official life as this. It is acknowledged that, the value ot Congre--mnn, member of Parliament of tiie Cabinet, increases in propor tion with the number of years tie bus served. He learns the duties of tiie of fice better, ..tul is more thorough to ac quainted with public affairs. When, therefore, Kentucky f mtd a man like Clny.it kept on electing him to C ti gress again and again, and Massaclttt- tts did the same by \V«b.-ter, but they never kept their favorite sous ns long in official life, or in such positions of promiitcnco as great Britain has done. This difference may he because, thanks hereditary fortunes, Englishmen en- poiitical life , earlier than country leaves on Indelible stain, so that our men and boys have given up white shirts except on Hundav.

John Morehead, of North Carolina. On tbe 10th of that month Governor Morehead addressed General Taylor letter officially notifying him of his nomination. The distraction into which the Whig party was thrown by General Taylor’s nomination waa not made less in tbe ensuing thirty-five days by the silence of General Taylor. Governor Morehead, in reply to innu' ries by leading Whigs—notably M Weed—said he nod positively written to the General and he knew of no rca- sonjwliy the reply was not f&rtlicoming. General Taylor was such u wretchedly old fellow, and Whig laders in general knew so little ot him personally, it was thought best not to stir him np on the subject. Letters from the old soldier were ap pearing in different quarters, some ot them not altogether satisfactory to the Whig leaders, but not • word came from him about the nomination. It began to look like on indignity. Mr. Weed, to whom more than any other man General Taylor was indebted (or his nominstton, was desperate tinder the suspense. Meetings were proposed and one was actuojly called in Albany looking to the repudiation of tiie nom ination. When.it met other counsels prevailed, tboagh the suspense con tinned. On July 22 the postmaster st Baton Rouge, where General Taylor lived, addressed the Postmaster-General a letter, saying that with tbe report for tbe current quarter from that office two bandies of letters were forwarded for the Dead Jitter Office, they having been declined on account of the non payment of tbe postage by tbe senders. It was in theten-ccnt an I nou-prepay- incnt time. Of the forty-eight letters , thus forwsriled to the Dead Letter j Office the Baton Rouge postmaster said S majority were addressed to Gen. Tay lor, w ho bad declined to pay the postage on them ami take them oat of theotfice, because his moil expenses had become burdensome. Tbe General hod since becume swore that some oft the letters were ef importance and asked for. their M. J.

Although its eyes aren’topen yet, tho big bine elephent at West Brighton re ceived several hundred visitors yes terday. The visitors paid fifteen centa each to climb np through the elephant's hind legs and observe a silk loom which made handkerchiefs in his stom ach. Besides the loom there is a double-deck promenade in this part of him. By steep stair-cases reared against the elepliant’a ribs the visitors cilntbed into tiie observatory at hia back. The inside of the elephant is three stories high, and it going to be filled with boxaar stands. The trunk goes down into what is going to he a big dairy stand. Alongside the elephant’s left foreleg yesterday lay an irregularly shaped shell that was about as big as tho side of s house. It was one of tiie elephant’s tin ears. Fifty people could stand on it at once. When the ele phant’s eyes are opened peonl able to see through them all i le will be over the island and away out to sea with tlio aid of telescopes.
