We publish the subjoined official coirespon
dence for the information and warning of such
of our fellow-citizen* as may be proceeding to
California, or elsewhere, through the Mexican
territory. It will be seen that the authorities
of that Republic are prepared and determined
to resist and punish abuses of Mexican hospi
tality, such as those said to bare been com
mitted in the State of Chihuahua; and that
they will not be connived at, or the guilty per
sons screened, by (he authorities of the United I

Mkxican Ligation,
Washington, August 91, 1849.
The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of the Republic of
Mexico, has the honor to address the Hon.
John M. Claytou, Secretary of State of the
United States, in order to inform him that he
has been instructed by his. Government to
make known to that of the United States the
excesses committed at the town of Passo, ia
the State of Chihuahua, and its vicinity, by the
numerous parties of inhabitants of the United
States, who enter, armed and without pass
ports, through that point into the Mexican ter.
ritory, on their way, as they say, to Upper
California. These parties of adventurers de
stroy ths fields of grain of the peaseful in
habitants of that region, insult the Mexican
authorities, so far aa to oblige them to place
guards in their offices for their protection
against such insults, as far as possible; and
some of the adventurers, on the pretext that
they had been robbed of three or four beasts of
burden, have committed the crime of entering
the town and firing upon the people of all
• classes, entirely innocent and peaceable. The
undersigned strongly urges the honorable
Secretary of State to bestow his attention upon
these sets of violence, committed by the in
habitants of the United States upon a country
with which thia Republic has just concluded a
j ■ J praws. ino uovernment or tne un-
<ygt gMrpisg and presentfiqr to the proper afo
'tbbriliea their passports, in due form; end, if
such foreigners are armed for their own de
fence, the Government of Mexico has the ia
conteetible right to subject these to ouch re
strictions of police ee it may think oreper to
establish. Under these considerations, the
Government of the undersigned has given the
orders, which it considered necessary, for
arming the settlements most exposed to these
attacks from such adventurers; so that the
latter, unless they submit in future, as they
should, to the laws end authorities of the coun
try, may be pursued end attacked as highway
robbers, (foragidot,) and tried according to
the laws, if apprehended. It should not, there
fore, be surprising, if some day, when it is
least expected, there should boa bloody en
counter between the peaceable inhabitants of
the Paso del Norte and the parties es adven
turers on their way from this Republic,
through the territory of Mexico, to Upper Cal
ifornia and other plaeea. If, unfortunately,
such a conflict should occur between the in
habitants of the two Republics, the under
signed must now deelsre, as ho does declare,
in the name of his Government, that Mexico
will have done no mere than repel fores, and
use her legitimate right es resistance to ag
gression. The Government of the u ndersign
ed, however, hopes that the Government of the
United States, animated aa it is by pacific end
conciliatory feelings towards Mexico, will or
der such measures to be taken as may serve
to prevent the excesses and disorders of the
inhabitants of the United States, crossing
Mexico, from endangering the peace and har
mony now so happily prevailing between the
two nations.

Washington, August 25, 1849.
The nndersigned, Secretary of State es the
United States, has had the honor to receive
the note of Mr. Do la Rosa, Envoy Extraordi
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the Mexi
can Republic, under date of the 9lat instant,
upon the subject of certain excesses said to
been committed at the town of El Paso,
Chihuhnarand ia its xicinfoc
States.
In reply, the Undersigned has the honor te
acquaint Mr. Do la Rosa that a copy of hie
note has been communicated to the Secretary
of War, accompanied by a letter suggesting
that orders, with a view to prevent a recur
rence of similar causes es complaint, should
be addressed to the proper officer in command
on the Mexican frontier.
The nndersigned avails himself of this oc
casion to offer te Mr. De la Rosa renewed as
surances of his very distinguished considera
tion. JOHN M. CLAYTON.
Mr, Crawford to Mr. Clayton.
War Department,
Washington, August 28, 1849.
StR : I have had the honor to receive your
communication of the 25th instant, together
with a copy of a note addressed to your De
partment by tiie Mexican Minister at Wash
ington. He complains that American emi
grants, in passing through the State of Chi
huahua and in the neighborhood of El Paso,
have committed acts of violence and outrage
on the Mexican inhabitants residing there.
Impressed not less by a sense of duty than
of inclination to maintain and preserve the
friendly relatione now happily existing be
tween the Republics of the United States and
Mexico, I have sought to find some authority,
the interposition of which would remove all
future causes of complaint. The law of 1818
confers authority on the Executive to arrest
and punish those who shall begin and set on
foot any military enterprise or expedition
against the territory or people with whom the
United States are at peace. Thia act, when
taken in connection with a joint resolution of
the last Congress, and applied to emigrating
parlies to Upper California, would seem to
exempt them from its operation. By the re
solution just adverted to, it was clearly the poli
cy of this Government to encoarage emigra
tion to its territories on the Pacific, by supply
ing all emigrants with approved arms at cheap
prices. That the parties are armed, and have
to some extent, a quasi military organisation,
arises from the dangers and necessities of the
long journey.
In pursuing their way to California and
Oregon, it wsa certainly m tha contemplation
of Congress that the emigrants should pass
exclusively over the soil of the United States,
as in all cases or emigration to New Mexico.
If, however, they should choose to diverge
from tiie contemplated course, and pass over
a section of the territory of Mexico, by their
entrance op it, they place themselves under
those internal regulations of that Republic
which are advened to in the communication
of the Mexican Minister, and are, conse
quently, liable for all breaches of them. With
these regulations the United States cannot
rightfully interfere. They spring from the
supremo authority exercised by Mexico, and
are limited only by her discretion. As a ne
cessary consequence, she possesses the same
clear right of enforcing her remedies accord
ing to her judgment.
The people of the United States are habit
ually inclined to respect and obey laws which
promote social order and security. If, how
ever, any portion of them ahonld be so un
mindful of their duty as to intrude themselves
on those residing in a foreign land, or invade
their rights of person or property, they must
abide the consequences of their rashness and
violence.
I may be pardoned in making the sugges
tion that, if Mexico object to the armed emi-
Sating parties of the United States passing '
rough her territory, notice to that effect
should be given. She will not, in my opinion,
compromise her hospitality or her fidelity to
treaty obligations by the act of preserving her
internal tranquility. At least, notice would
exclude the defence which ignorance frequent
ly seeks to impose as a shield for delinquency.
Verv respectfully, your obedient servant,
' GEO. W. CRAWFORD,
Secretary of War.

The Circus.
We were present on Munday night. Stick
ney’* New Orleans Circus is a paragon of
circuses and no mistake. North is an eques
trian of celebrity in this country »nd Europe,
rides as if he was enchanted. Stickney can
■tick to a horse, in a wild gallop, without seem
ing to toneh' him. Blackwood and Malloy
dance to ths mnsie, on flying horses, with as
much ease a* people ordinarily can in a suita
ble saloon. W* should like te *ee some of
them tried oa a comet. We have, on a previ
ous day, referred to the elegant and graceful
riding of La Belle Rosalie and La Petit Elouise.
Iu vaulting, some of the corps turn over so
fast one can hardly see them. Young Morri
son can turn and twist, tie his leg* around
his neck, and convolve the different parts of
hi* body into * dozen postnres, that make one
lose sight of the human figure. He looks as
if hi* very bone* were limber. Jennings’s
pupils are all stars in their way.
Jennings, the principal clown, and Horner,
the second clown, are the best we have ever
seen. If we were mor* of a medical reader,
we might give the Mme of the author of a
work called the “ Anatomy of Melancholy.”
The work, no doubt, is a good one, but Jen
nings and Homer knock melancholy into fits
fit* of side shaking laughter. It was amus
ing to see these two fun-provoking characters
make a moot furious show of fight, and shake
hand* when the moment appeared to have come
for blows.
They have the art of raising spirits, (we (
don’t mean ghosts, or devils,) as all will find t
oat who go to see and hear their amusing 1
tricks and witticisms. •
The horse Tammany is an exception to all ’
“ critters ” of the horse kind that we ever saw (
twifnrw- Wo saSllte'j know which to nil mi re ,
moat, the genius of the horse, or the skill of i
North in training him. We have seen horses 1
kick up a dust in trying to dance before, but '
Tammany goes through the complicated waltz ,
and Polka with an ease, grace and conformity
to time, which would reflect no discredit upon
many intelligent bipeds. He actually under
stands what be is about, and waves his head
gracefully while engaged in the dance.
Cincinnatns is a very knowing horse him
self, and excites admiration as well by bis
handsome form as his intelligent acts.
The musical band is one of the best we have
ever heard. Their pieces reach the soul,
and, let criticism say what it may, that is, after
al), the great popular standard.
In leaping, vaulting, riding, witticisms, ne
gro melodies and marie, together with all the
paraphernalia and minutia of circuses, Stick
ney’s New Orleans Circus, now exhibiting
here, is unequalled in the United States.
The performance last night was superior
to any previous one. *•
Bemcfit of Mr: Jennings.
Mr. Jennings takes a benefit to-night, and,
we doubt not, it will be a cheering one. Who
more deserves such than the man whose ,
tongue, though swift, dees not run before his
wit—whose rich comicalities and highfalutin
: sayings make you laugh in spite of yourself,
’ and even lift you up from the “ mud of mise
•! ry,” if that low down.
• Jennings will make dyspeptic pills of no
’. use, by exciting agreeably, without failure, all
■ . the “fundamental fluids’* with rapid and in
t vincible doses of fun. The bill of fare for
r to-night promises also, in other respects,
■ something of the highest order in the way of
t dancing hornpipes on flying horses, and tum
-1 ing semereets swifter than the hviMNesr poli-
* tMU h the world.

The Crops &c.
The Entaw (Ala.) Democrat, speaks of the
crops having been greatly injured in the sur
, rounding country; in some cases by lice, and
in others by worms. These, added to previous
■ injury from the rains, will not permit the crop
t mthat section to be an average one.
; tne Tremendous rise in Red river, and the
mails received yesterday* bring us some most
melancholy news concerning it. The town
of Alexandria was four feet under water on
the 11th ultimo, and nearly every plantation
between Shreveport and Grand Ecore ia either
destroyed or seriously injured. It ia nearly
the same ease with Little river. The desola
tion is terrible. In many eases all the eorn
and cotton is destroyed, and barns, fences, gin
houses and cattle, all swept away by the flood.
To many the ruin will be irretrievable. Sev
eral millions in value have been lost. The
Alexandria Republican of the 11th nit. says:—
“ The good people on Front-street were all
astir on Thursday afternoon, at the uncommon
sight of a large house coming down stream.
It was known to be the gin-house of Col De
Russy, which eaved in at Grand Ecore on the
day previous. A pretty good idea of the ra
pidity of the current can be formed from the
speed of this house which left its homestead
about four o’clock on Wednesday, and arrived
here about three o’clock on Tharsday, the dis
tance by water being 100 miles.”
The Natchitoches Chronicle, of the 18th
ult., after alluding to the injurious effects of
the rains says:
But we have now to record a new calamity,
and it is, that all those crops scattered over
the whole country off from the river, are
being rapidly destroyed by the army-worm.—
The destruction of the entire crop, with very
inconsiderable exceptions may now be regard
ed as complete.
The Shreveport Journal of the 15th ultimo,
says:
“In this and neighboring parishes, up to
this the plant has scarcely made anything.”
The Natches Courier says, according to ru
mors the cotton and boll worm have made 1
their appearance, and are committing ravages |
on Red river and plantations adjacent to the |
Mississippi. Frost, rains, bad weather and 1
worms, will make the erop short in that sec- *
lion. |
The Marksville (La.) Prarie Star says, that (
its exchanges represent the injury to the crops t
south of that place to be extensive and irre- *
mediable and that in its own section the crop j
'44 io Bt. Francis (La.) Chronicle swipetne t
crop in that section will fall below an average '*
The Clinton (La.) Whig of thg. 22d ult.,
says:
For some weeks the complaint of the rava
ges of tiie boll worm have been incessant from
all quarters; many planters of the highest res
pectability have assured us that the destruction
caused by them is altogether unprecedented.
To complete the work of destruction the army
worm has made its appearance, and is already
devastating many fields of the staple. We
learn this morning from Messrs. Elias Brown
and D. B. Beauchamp, that the latter worm is
in their fields in large numbers.
The Franklia Planters’ Banner of the 23d
ult., says:
We find from inquiry and observation that
the crops in most parts of the parish will be
very short.
The Pointe Coupee Tribune of the 25th ult.,
says:
The weather for the past week has been
favorable; we have had no rain. Some few
planters have commenced cotton picking. If
the weather continues as at present for one
month, the average crop will be larger than
was anticipated.
The Bayou Sara Ledger of the 25th ult.,
says:
We believe from all the information we
have been able to obtain, that the cotton erop
in this parish will turn out much better than
was at first anticipated.
Take the parish in a general way, and we
think that we hazard nothing in saying that
the cotton crop will be about an average one.
The Greensboro’(Ala.) Beacon of the 25th
ult., says:
The prospect of a fair yield is certainly not
improving in thia section of the State ; but, on
the contrary, is diminishing rapidly. For the
last two weeks we have had the hottest wea
ther of the season, and the driest since about
the Ist of June; the consequence of which
has been, that the cotton leaves have to a great
extent wilted and dropped off The forms are
also dropping off extensively ; besides which,
the rust is very bad on some plantations, whilst
the bore worm has appeared very generally in
this section, and is said to be as destructive on
some plantations as it was in 1846. That the
cotton crop in this section will be a very short
one—in all probability below two-thirds of a
fair one—is a point about which there can be
no diversity of opinion among those well in
formed on the subject.
Crops in Louisiana.—The New Orleans
Bee of the 28th ult., says;
The advices from the interior in relation to
the crop are discouraging. Although within a
few days of the Ist of September, picking is
only partial—as much so perhaps as was the
case at the beginning of August last year.—
This in itself presents a prospect far from flat
tering. The army-worm has made its appear
ance in isolated apots, and it is uncomfortable
for planters to reflect that a fortnight of damp
and overcast weather may increase the visita
tion to such an extent as to materially curtail
the results of the labor. We need not the ad
vent of this terrible insect to insures short
crop—that is aau fait accompli—which nei
ther rain nor sunshine—heat or frost can hin
der..
New Nlachine Factory.
Mr. John Finn has taken the contract to
erect the extensive Machine Factory for
Messrs. Poe A Co., on the Canal in thia city.
In addition to making power loems and the oth
er machinery needed in cotton and woolen
mills, a large iron foundry will be connected
I with the establishment. The main building
is to be 100 feet in length, 50 wide and three
stories high, made of brick. AU the machinery
for constructing machinery will be propelled
by water power. Some ot our wealthiest
citizens are concerned in the enterprize, and
we anticipate great public benefits from its
success.—Chronicle of Tuesday.

ing:
Augusta, August 29th, 1849.
Gentlemen :—Having heard that my name
might probably be brought before your body as
a candidate to represent this county in the next
Legislature, I take this opportunity to make a
few remarks, in reference to that matte, as
connected with myself.
I hope I have no selfish ambition, to be
gratified at tlie expense of the public good.—
A man who is not ready at all times to yield
his own wishes, when he can thereby promote
the welfare of his fellow-citizens, ought not
to be trusted, and deserves not their confidence.
These are my-sentiments, and 1 am willing,
when necessity demands it, to illustrate them
by my acta. At the approaching session of our
Legislature it is apprehended that measures
opposed to the Interests and prosperity of our
city will be agitated, in which event, who will
be more capable to resist and counteract such
hostile demonstrations, than our former faith
ful and influential representative, Charles J.
Jenkins, Esq.?
Permit me, then, in this emergency, to di
rect your attention, above all others, to that
gentleman, whose valuable services at this time
when they are so much needed, I trust he will
not withhold, and which, with efforts commen
surate with their importance, I hope you may
be able to secure.
IE. gom>r.atWH/ voitjtoow, will be gratefuh
to yrfiir constituents, and to no one of them'
‘more than myaelf.
In conclusion, allow me to express my will
ingness, to co-operate with you, in every ef
fort calculated to add strength and harmony to
the party, and to the happiness and prosperity
of our people at large.
Respectfully, your obt. servant,
JNO. MILLEDGE.
The letter of Col. Milledge having been read,
the Hon. Charles J. Jenkins, and Alexander C.
Walker, Esqrs., were then unanimously nom
inated as candidates to represent the county
of Richmond in the next General Assembly.
The following resolution was then offered
and unantmous/y'passed;
Resolved, That this Convention approve
and concur in the nomination made by the
Whigs of Columbia county, of the Hon. An
drew J. Miller, as their candidate to represent
the twenty-second Senatorial District in the
next General Assembly.
On motion, the following persons were ap
pointed a committee to notify the candidates of
their nomination, to wit: Robert Y. Harris,
Henry 11. Cumming, James B. Hart.
The following resolution was then moved
and unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the members of thia Conven
tion most heartily approve of the nomination of
the Hon. Edward Y. Hill, aa the candidate of
the Whig party fsr Governor, and recommend
him to the active and cordial support of their whig
brethren.
On motion, it was—
Resolved, That the proceeding* of the
meeting be published in the Whig paper* of
the city.

[For the Tri-Weekly Republic.)
Mr. Editor: In looking into the last number
of the Southern Cultivator, I observed a com
munication from Dr. Paul F. Eve, of Augusta,
and also an extract of a letter from Dr. Back
man, of Charleston, on the subject of a de
structive malady among fowls, by some styled
cholera. These distinguished medical men
describe the ravages of the alleged epidemic
(if tie term may be applied to fowls) in their
own poultry yards, and as having come under
their notice likewise among the poultry of
their neighbors; but both acknowledge utter
ignorance as to the cause or cure of the deso
lating disease. It has occurred to me that a
brief statement of my discoveries in this mat
tetunay be beneficial to the public, and it is
probible those gentlemen (the one a practi
tioner es the healing art, and the other a pro
fessed-ornithologist,) will not be at all morti
fied at being surpassed in hen-pathology by an
unpretending farmer.
- -While residing, a few years ago, in a newly
setled village in Georgia, I had the good for
tune (in that respect, at least,) te occupy a
lot well adapted to rearing poultry. I deter
mined to furnish my table, upon the most eco
nomical terms, with that most useful and al
most indispensable article of provision, and pro
cured a good supply of stock fowls. Snch
wasmy success that the lot was soon inter
speeed with thrifty poultry of several species.
Buito my regret it was announced betimes
onemorning that death and disease had made
fearful havoc, the over-night, in the poultry
house, and that many of the fowls were dead
and others in a dying state. On going out, I
beheld the rather discouraging scene of a col
lection of several dozen, brought by the ser
vant from under the hen-roost, consisting of
•nifgoa and Jasfcriptiona, from thn
mile, and the mother of the chirping brood,
down to the chick of a week old. Some Tur
key* among the rest, and perhaps other spe
cies, all affected precisely alike. Some had
piid already the debt of nature; others were
sibmissively bowing to the grim king of ter
rors, having become bereft of all muscular ac
tion and nervous energy. There the promis
cious pile lay, the melancholy blight of the
owner’s fancied anticipation of future indul
gence of the appetite in soups and pies. But
I determined to pry into the cause of this sad
disaster to the fowls and to my table comforts.
I accordingly proceeded to make a post mor
tem examination, supposing that the eating of
some poisonous substance must have produced
these disastrous ravages among the unoffend
ing inmates of the poultry yard. Finding the
emws of those which were dead entirely emp
ty, I ordered several of those yet living to be
opened, and, sure enough, found in their craws
a ipecies of maggot, differently shaped and of
somewhat larger size than the maggot of the
common green fly. So soon as those worms
began to pass through the process of digestion,
and enter into the blood of the fowl, then com
menced the narcotic prostration, afterward ul
timating in death, as before described. Be
lieving the disease to be the effect of animal
poison, produced from those worms, and re
collecting having relieved and cured a young
goose, many years before, infected with vege
table poison, by the use of simple hog’s lard,
1 ordered warm lard to be conveyed into the
crews (by the throats) of those fowls in a
helpless state, and found that such as had not
become too far exhausted were speedily re
lieved, and in a few hours restored to con
sciousness, and soon to wonted health. 1 thus
supposed I had discovered the cause and the
care of this pestilence of the poultry yard ;
and, of course, to prevent it, would be effected
by guarding the fowls against eating those poi
sonous worms found to be the cause. I then
proceeded to ascertain where those worms
were obtained by the fowls, and how to pre
vent their getting them. On looking around
the fowl house, I discovered, at no great dis
tance, some decaying animal matter, filled with
those maggots, together with the carrion bugs
from which they were produced, and from
which source doubtless those infected fowls
had, the preceding evening, obtained their
j fatal supply. I gave directions for the entire
removal of the putrid substance, and heard no
further complaint among the fowls until the
next week, when it was announced that the
same fearful disease had made its reappear
ance among the feathered tribes of the poultry
yard. lagaji made search, and ascertained
that some of the slain of the preceding week
had not been removed from the lot, and having
become putrid, had attracted the carrion bug,
and thus furnished a new supply of the poison
ous maggots. They being removed, and the
j remedy administered to the infected, health
I was again restored to the poultry. Since
which discoveries, I have required all decay
' ing animal substances to be kept out of the
reach of the fowls, and have never been trou
bled with the cholera ornithown except when
I my directions have been neglected.

[From the Athens Whig.]
Messrs. Editors :—I have not troubled you
often upon the subject of politics ; but th! re
sult of recent elections forbids silence upon
the part of patriotic Whigs. Two causes,
which should be removed, exist, that will ac
count to the unprejudiced mind, for the disas
ters which have resulted to the Whigs in Vir
ginia and Tennessee. First—the course of
the Administration at Washington. The Whig
party were satisfied with Gen. Taylor’s Cabi
net, but they are not satisfied with the action
of the President and Cabinet in relation to re
movals from, and appointments to office. No
party in this country can be held together, if
the opposition are permitted to hold and retain
the offices of profit and honor. It was not the
President that the people desired to change,
but the agents of the President. This Govern
ment, and ail others, are administered by the
office-holders ; and the people are but lit tie in
terested in the person who holds the office of
President; but they are deeply interested in
the administration of offices in their midst.—
It was that change the Whigs desired, and had
a right to expect; and that desire and just ex
pectation, moved the Whig party to deeds of
high emprise, in the great battle of the 7th of
November last.
How have their wishes and expectations
been met ? Let the columns of the Republic,
the official organ, speak :—“Nine-tenths of the
offices in the gift of the President, are held by
Democrats.” Is this right 7 is it just 7 No:
and the people know it, and will not submit to
it. Twenty years the Democrats have had
the offices, and yet have them. Justice must
be done, or Gen. Taylor and bis Cabinet will
find that those who elevate, can pulldown.
Pope, in his day, wrote a couplet to the fol
lowing effect:
“For forms of Government let fools contest,
That form that’s best administered, is best.”
The administration of the Government does
not depend on the President, but upon the of
fice-holders, ramified throughout the country.
Another cause of defeat is this: —Leading
Whig journals at the South, and some few po
liticians, have indicated by their editorials and
speeches, that the Soutn should submit to
Northern aggression, eternally writing and
saying that “the Union is not to be abandoned
in any event,” quoting from Washington’s
farewell address, to prove that those who are
ready to sec justice done the South, and resist
the efforts of Northern Federalists and Aboli
tionists, should be indignantly frowned down.
They also denounce Mr. Calhoun, who stands
above the atmosphere in which mere “party
spirit” dwells,and nobly sustains the South.—
This is the course of some journals and politi
cians. Whigs of Georgia, sustain them if
you will, and certain defeat awaits you. But
if, on the other hand, you will denounce those
editors and politicians, and show yourselves
possessed of Calpburnian virtue, you have a
noble and gallant standard-bearer, and all will
be well. Brutus.

> Production and Consumption of
1 Cotton.
• Under (fie conviction of the importance to
our planters of a correct understanding to the
> question, we have, from time to tune, endeavor
ed, by satistical information, to show that the
consumption of American cotton was equal
A contrary opinion, however, has prettiiied tn
many quarters, and it*dissemination h.is often
proved injurious in depreciating th.- va'o • o!
the article. Witness the efledt >f nt. -
estimate, on the prices of 1846 V '-m i'T-..
confidently asserted that the crop •.
2,500,000 bales, and from a too r-tide ■ •
of these assertions, the crop was bur.,,
market, and sold at ruinously low prices
The result showed 750,000 bales short of tin
estimate, but this fact was developed too late
to benefit the producer.
We can readily nnderstand why the cry of
“over-production" is sweet music to the ear of
the Manufacturer, both at home and abroad,
because the more deeply and generally the im
pression can be produced among the Planters,
the better for his interest. For if more than
sufficient is produced, low prices are the ne
cessary consequence. But that intelligent
Planters should aid in giving currency to an
opinion so injurious to their interests, and even
take the trouble to circulate it in printed ad
dresses, is not only surprising, but suicidal,
and such au opinion can only have been form
ed on a very careless and superficial examina
tion of facts bearing on the subject.
The following comparative table of the pro
duction and consumption of cotton, for the Inst
fifteen years, will illustrate the fallacy of the
doctrine of over-production, and may afford
some data to that class of writers who are
converts to this theory, but “confess that they
scarcely know where to begin” when required
to prove it; although it is “a proposition so
easy of proof, and a truth so apparent, as to
be supposed to have received universal
assent

20,2i3,UUU
It will appear conclusively, we think, from
the foregoing, how little ground there has been
for the cry oi over-production. Fifteen years
ago the crop was 1,254,000 bales, and the con
sumption 1,252,000,0 r nearly equal. In 1848
the crop had more than doubled, say 2,700,000,
and the consumption will probably reach
2,900,000. Does this look like over-produc
tion? The production of the entire fifteen
years, it will be seen, is 28,422,000 ; and the
consumption, 28,279,000 —so nearly equal a
utterly to exclude the idea thatover-prodnetion
lias been the cause of low prices, though the
false cry of it, rio doubt, has often produced
that effect. But take the sum of the last four
years, and see what it demonstrates: 9,680,000;
qrau excess of consumption of 750,000 bales',
and this, too, in the face of short crops of
gram and famine in Europe, commercial em
barrassments, and the Continent convulsed
with revolutionsand disorder.
At the beginning of the last season, when
prices were ruinously low, we endeavored to
show to our readers, what we were thorough
ly convinced of ourselves, that the consump
tion of cotton was not only equal but outrun
ning production, and that better prices must
be the inevitable result of such a state of af
fairs ; and our prediction* have been fully re
alized. For the coming season the prospects
are even more cheering. That tlio rate of
consumption is beyond any probable product
of the present season, is a fact ascertained and
beyond cavil, and the Planter can command
prices that will remunerate him for his labors.
Even should the crop reach 2,700,000 bales,
the present rate of consumption would more
than absorb it; but when it is evident that the
probabilities are stronger that it wili go below
2,200,000 bales than above thut point, wo may
not only expect remunerating pri-■ say from
9 to 11 cents, but that they will run up to a
speculative point far beyond. Let our Plant
ers look toit that the coming crop pr ». ■
from their control at prices below ■■ ■
and these should be at the highest ,
will not materially affect its consumption.
Jeannette and Jeannot.
The following little song is all the rage in
Paris. The words are by Charles Jeffry*:
You ecu fol «M>Ay,
Far away from poor Jeannette,
There is no one left to love mo now,
And you, too, may forget;
But my heart will be with you,
Wherever you may go,
Can you look me in the face,
Aud say the same, Jeannot 7
When you wear the jacket red,
And the beautiful cockade,
Oh, I fear you will forget,
All the promises you made;
With the gun upon yonr shoulder,
And the biy’net by your side,
You’ll bo taking some proud lady,
Aud be making her your bride.
Or when glory leads the way,
You’ll be madly rushing on,
Never thinking if they kill you,
That my happiness is gone;
If you win the day, perhaps,
A General you’ll be,
Though I’m proud to think of that,
What will become of me ;
Oh, if 1 were Queen of France,
Or still better, Pope of Rome,
I would have no fighting men abroad,
No weeping maids at home;
Ail the world should be at peace,
Or if Kings must show their might,
Why, let them who make the quarrels,
Be the only men to fight.
The Emperor of Russia has sent a sack of
wheat to Kossuth, and desired him io count„tbe
grains. Kossuth wrote back, saying, “The
sack holds many grains, but I have three hawks
and three ravens who will pick them up.”—
The hawks are supposed to be Bern, Dembin
ski, and Georgey, the ravens to be June, July,
and August, when the fever generally rages.

The Female Swimming Match.— Th*
dead-alive remnant of fashion which yet re
mains in Paris was aroused to as much interest
as could be compatible with the state of the
thermometer by a single wager which had
been concocted by two of our most fashionable
lionnes. This was no other than a swimming
match between the renowned Madame de
C and the bold Marquise de B , who
undertook to accomplish the distance between
the Pont Neuf and the Pont Notre Dame in a
given time, being allowed the use of the left
hand only, the other to be occupied in holding
a green parasol, to screen the visage es the
fair swimmer from the rays of the sun, which
darted down upon the waters like a furnace.
At the summons, the fair Naiads plunged
most resolutely over either side of the boat,
and were soon beheld gliding along as rapidly
as the stream. The ladies were both attired
in loose wide trousers of fine cashmere, white
stripped with blue, the waist bound with a
scarlet belt, a shirt of the finest cambric, with
sir r* -’.coves. The Marquise de B——-is es a
