It is the supreme folly*of the deni-, I vens of American cities, with tlielr navigable J rivers and lakes, their canals, and their far reaching railroads that desolate the land which supports their commerce, their manu factures, their trade, their arts, and their pro fessions, because they greedily grasp all tlnit tdlngc and husbandry produce, and give no thing lack to renovate the impoverished folds of the planter and fanner.

Tlie Natchez Courier, of Friday, the 17th inst., has tlnffollowing remarks about the rot “in cotton: Hnijlly an hour passes in the day, without hearing from planters in this city, and adjoin ing counties, complaints as to the rot. It is undoubtedly true that one good picking lias been obtained, but there tlie crop appears to have ended. We were informed yesterday by a planter from Jefferson county, that he could in his fields hardly find one boll in a hundred which was not ruined. He said that lie spent upwards of an hour day before yes terday, trying to find good bolls, and that lie had not come across half a dozen during all that search. He intimates the injury at near ly, if not quite, a half the expected crop, and that the same may be said of the plantations iu his neighborhood. These reports are too true to be made light of samples to the rot are continually coming in as evidences of tlie statement, and all unite in testifying to the rapidity with which the ruin has been accomplished, in-fields where 1 week, sine* y,n I --e was mani | fi st, hardly a healthy boll can now be found. •'• ,t< that jit - -om the eom ! *ll a a aI 1 ve -ot escaped.— •Specimens, of 1, 1 <. from sm !j 1 I mts arc j now in our cl’i* .

A Candid Adversary. A candid Democrat is a rare bird, though’ not wholly unknown. The Louisville editor, who admitted the irresisthbte force of the tes timony against General Fierce in relation to the New,Boston speech, was one'of the rari ties. Another is Mr, Nicholson, the chosen champion of the Memphis (Tenn.) Democrats, put forward to sustain their cause is a discus sion that has just taken place in that city!— The Memphis Eagle, in its outlines of the de hate, has the following : “The portion of Mr. NichcflsoVs speech which is most noteworthy was his, admission of General Bierce’s anti-slavery senfimfnts. — Mr. X. rt penial the language of the. Manches ter Speech, as giving expression to the ah stact sentiments of hostility to slavery univer sally entertained by men bom ;rnd reared, as General Bierce has been, at the North, hut maintained that 110 was not the less reliable tor the puotcetion of southern institutions, so far as they are guaranteed by the Constitu tion. ‘i hist part ol Mr. Nicholson’s speech— frank, candid and open, and by that very, frankness and candor lending strength to the argument iu behalf of General Bierce— must have weakened the faitli of every Democrat present in w hat their organs have been telling them about, the New Boston speech. Mr. • Nicholson Would not, and did not, stultify himself by attempting to show the difference between.the sentiments -there attributed him to General Bierce, aiid those which lie admit ted liigi to hold, and to have expressed at. Manchester—although lie referred to it ‘inci dent-ally’ as a ‘calumny.’ Mr. Nicholson’s argument on this point was a virtual admis sion of all that the Whigs have charged, to wit, flint General Bierce held sentiments on the subject of slavery far more objectionable than afiy over attributed to General Sttott.”, There is more wisdom as well as m6re honesty in this recognition of an established fact, Unfit in the tactics of the metropolitan ..organ In its treatment of this question. John Van Ihircn. In a speech delivered by this supporter of Bierce aiidKing iuFaneuiHi;iU, Boston 20th ultimo housed the following language.—We quote from tho Traveler, a journal by. no means partisan: 1 lie deed w’ ’ : “self in • or of Pierce and. King, alluded to the . uff.ilo j>latform, and sai l that he had c'woe ‘‘ C ,, n opposed lo the . .. -. ■’ r:cnp.. st- ‘'ffbe, and had .. /••/ ot/s been in f; *•.-• 0/ oho. isiJ'ng slater ip” The Boston Cos ■■nhimweal i, in its report of the same speech, at; abut*. *• 0 Van Bo ren the following papsagts: “As lie had before had occasion to say, lie wished the country to know that he support ed Bierce and King, and gave in Ids adhesion to their principle. Yet, while he said so, lie wished it distinctly understood that he had always be|p, and was now, opposed to that relation described as human slavery. He had always been, and was now, an earest advo cate of the National Government’s abolishing slavery wherever it had the. power. riJoea this look like John had “atoned, in part for his past errors,” neighbor Times ? Webster (’(invention in Boston. This Ccrivention, the proceedings of which we gave last week, was telegraph to have been attended by “tlirUo hundred persons.”— The smallness of the number lias exeited the ridicule of many papers. No correction has been made of tlie errors of tho report For the benefit of our readers, who prefer facts to fiction, we copy from the “Boston Advertis er,” a Hcott paper, the following: “'J'lie attendance was larger than might have been anticipated from the very unfavor able state of tlie weather, the heavy rain which began in the morning continuing until the lime of meeting and afterward. There ap pealed to be from one thousand to twelve I hundred persons in th** hall.” Louisville, Aug. 23. Two young girls at Henderson, Ivy., on Monday last committed suicide by tying their hands together and walked out into the Ohio river, where they laid down and drowned themselves. They were sisters, aged 10 and 18. When they were found they were lock ed in each other’s arms, ‘llie cause was family difficulties. The above is a meloncholy picture of tlie straits to which the human family is frequent ly reduced by theunkindness ot parents, step- I’athers and step-Mothers. The suffering young alas, poor creatures, who shall tell their tale of sorrow ? How cruelty and tyr anny drive them to madness and despair. — How few there are old enough, to narrate their wrongs, or who have any dear friends to listen to their sorrows and their woes. On the contrary, Fate, as if rioting on their deso lation, magnifies their ills, while Despair, with her haggard countenance, drives aways all (who on the happy way to eternity) would inquire into their wounded bosoms. Barents, step-Fataers, and step-Mothers, Guardians and all hear, pause long, and reflect upon your resposibilities.-. Remember you were once young, and in a state of utter depen dence: do not forget your infant entry into the world, remember your early pleaures, and 1 contributed to them, nnd by those remin *•_ determine to discharge your obliga tions for the past, to those young creatures whom Providence has placed about you. Do not let wo; Idly desires to accumulate riches, ’ Hunt Ihe feelings of your hearts, let nature m.*e her wa v in acts of kindness and perform suck, dictates as she. gives you cheerfully. — I oamt cross your children in'any tiling that is - rrf lers, lut allow them evcry,indulgence the nature-of tlic--c:ie will iidmit of. Bow.many poor^piils like the two ifi tlie .picture, are-driven away from homo into a II ill hue of misery and infamy. How. many sons mined by uukindiiesj, stinted for tiie want of means, conmiit acts, that fix inifamy upon them for life, that would otlierjrisediave been useful and ornamental members of socie- Jj*. Wliat tales of Terror might be told! What dark pages yet.unturned, by the pub lic; are kept shut by the fact, that “Fanjily difiicnlties” are secret as the gravel! Alas, for the, injured am} oppressed, they are depriv ed-of the means of escape, and have, no hu man being to spefik.to, of their misfortune.- Tho grave to such, is a resting glade indeed. There in its quiet wall, secure -from furthc r insult- and contumely, they are Tree from that worst ofhll earthly evils,.Parental meanness and heartless dictation. It is too late .to repent the Joss of these poor giiiN. No doubt tliosp whose business it was to render acts of kindness and tefi them, repent now, hut they shoifid have reflected be-, fore. Barents should have n good deal mp:ye to do with their children, than they genecijly imagine. They should -associate familiar-/ ’ly with them. They should commence at oner in learning to do any tliing.to-please rfnd liar mbuize them. Habit is every thing, arid if once ffiey begin this agree;,l Je course, it will ever become a great pleasure.

Feverish Condition of Culm lon of the Baltimore Sim saj*s : The advice from Cuba are of serious im port. They show that the population both the stave population and tlie creole population, is in a feverish condition, and that a servile or a civil war —or both—might at any mo ment braktf out. The Cuban authorities have very foolishly and presumptuously, brought their port regulations into conflict with the commercial and navigatory interests of the United States. These regulations cre ate personal irritation, and also may pinch hard upon our commercial interests. These are the points, where, as it was supposed long ago, a collision might ultimately be broght about between the Spanish authorities and the United States. ‘Plie travel by way of tho Isthmus, and the immense amount of American navigation and commerce that passes into and from the Gulf, are all exposed to annoyance from the Cuban government, should it be hostile to the United States. Thousands of our citizens must touch at Havana in passing every month ; and it has long been feared that Jrom this source some difficulty might arise. The government of Cuba cannot, perhaps, keep iu subjection, and treat with their usual-severity,, their own population, without* annoying our citizens, whom commerce and travel may bring to her ports. But the worst job that Captain-Gener nl Canedo ever did was to fix a quarrel upon George Law, and exclude liis ships from the port of -Havana. George Law, as I have heretofore shown yon, does not need tlie Aid of this govornment to fight his battles, nor will he condescend to ask it. lie will take-satisfaction at a proper time, when lie can make something by it. A letter from Havana appears in tlie New York Journal of Commerce of yesterday, which e.dls upon George Law to “put the Island of Cuba into Li s-breebhes pocket /” This he is prepared to do at a -proper-time. But tiiere is to he no more filibustering again in regard to Cgfin, an(lI am glad to see that Gen. Gonzales denies, that any expedition against Cuba is now contemplated. It is remarkable how aptly destiny seems to contrive matters so as to render tilings inconsiderable which at first seem to human •comprehension as impossible. At the mo nient ot the oecueriice of difficulties with Cuba, and at a time when the democratic Senators are making speeches in favor of p'etting “more sugar laud,.’’there has also ari sen a necessity, of a commercial character, lor the acquisition of the Sandwich Islands, it is now therefore to be proposed to annex both to. the federal Union—the former as a slave, and the jitter ap a free State. /efftograli between (he two Itemis / pheres. / The London Correspondent of the Ration 'd Jn'eiljgenctr gives the followirig route and plan for the submarine telegraph Between Gloat Britain and America, liis views are plausible, arid 110 doubt feasible. V. e stated a few weeks ago, that a project had been foimod for constiiictirtg a subma rine telegraph between Great Biitian and the U. States, by a route not before thought of, which would very materially shorten the line of witter transit, render the transmission of intelligence much less liable to interruption and m>: j materially diminish the cost of construction and repairs. We’ have now lie proposed Submarine lines before us. — J hyy- commenced ;*t the most northwardly point.of .Scotland, run thus to the Orkney islands, and thence by short water-lines, to the Shetland “hud tlie F’erreo Islands. From th.e latter, a water, iiiie of 200 to 300 miles conduct the line to idihind from the western coast ol Iceland, another Submarine conveys it to Kloge Bay, on the eastern coast of Green land; it then crosses Greenland to Juliana’s H ope on tho western coast of that continent, i.i latitude 00 deg. 42 min.; and is conduct ed tlidnfte b v a water li:,c of about 500 miles across Davis s Ejtrqjts to Byron’s Bay, on the coast ol Labrador. From this'point the line is to be'extended to Quebec. i he entire length ot the line is approximate ly estimated at 2,500 miles, and the subma rine portions of.it at from 1,400 to 1,000 miles. The peculiar advantage qf the line being divided into several submarine portions is, that ii a tactiue should at anytime occur, the defective part could be very readily discover ed nnd repaired pronisly at a comparatively trifling expense. From’ tiie Shetland Island, it is proposed to carry a branch to Bergen, in Norway, connecting it there with a line to Chistiana, Stockholm, Gottenburgh, and Co penhagen ; from Stockholm a line may easily cross the Gulf of Botiiiiua to St. Petersbugh. ‘j lie whole expense of this great international work is estimated considerably below $500,- 000, but to cover contingencies, it is propos ed to r;ijse that sum by 25,000 shares of £2o’ each. We confess that we consider this plan’ as by. far the most feasible one which has been yet produced for connecting Europe and America by the electric telegraph. Spain and ils Churche*. ‘1 lie Spanish government are exhibiting symptoms of n longing to lay their hands on tlie wealth of the church in that country. An order has i on i- uedjjy the Minister of jus tice and Ecclesiastical Affairs, directed to the bialiop and heads of dioceses generally, de manding a complete inventory of all the treas ures and articles of value in the various churches. All sorts of guesses nre current ns to the object of this order. It is believed by some that nothing else is intended thnn to keep up the artificial credit of the State by nnd exhibition of tlie wealth of the church.-*” When it is consider'd tlint the cathedral id Toledo, for instance, tins articles of gold and silvers to the amount of some $7,600,000, it would be no matter of surprise of the g rnnl * total in the kingdom should reach sl2fl,(W®r 000.
