Accounts from the interior in rela-
ton to the present cotton crop continue
very bad. In many places the seed
has refused to grow, and in some, it
sells as high as five dollars a bushel.-
A letter from Laurens to friend of
ours, with which we have been favor
ed, says that the crop in that and the
neighboring districts has suffered very
severely, and that in great many in
stances the farmers have pIoughed up
their cotton fields and planted corn
Should the deficiency OF the harvest
really correspond with the general ap-
prehension entertained upon the sub
ject, who can prescribe limit to the
price Of our great staple, already at a
height far surprising the most SAN
guine day dream, which, a few months
ago, the most visionary Spectator
would have ventured to indulge?

Me,c mode Of raising Pine .apples.-A
manufacturer in the country, who has
steam engine on his premises, and a
considerable portion of superfluous
steam, has conceived the idea of grow
ing Pine Apples by means of this SUI
perfluity. The steam is introduced un-
der the roots of the plant, and the
warmth and moisture together operate
SO powerfully upon it, that it soon ar
rives at maturity; whilst the body of
the plant, being freely exposed during
the day to the open air, acquires a firm
ness and healthiness, which contribute
powerfully towards the fine flavor of
the fruit, and render it superior to that
which is produced in close hot houses.
We have not yet had any means of
Judging how far the economy of the
principle Is carried, but we can at least
assure our readers that it is no longer
theoretical. We have seen and tasted
Pine apples so produced, and certainly
no flavor could be more delicious.

The notorious William Goblet thus speaks

The notorious William Goblet thus speaks
of Pennsylvania
seThe basest and most corrupt government,
that ever knew any thing, or heard any thing,
of, is the Republican, government Of PENNsrL-
vAxIA, and withsl the most tyranncal, base
and corrupt from bottom to top; from the root
TO the topmast twig; from the trunk to the
extreme point of every branch"
Inreply to this, the Philadelphia Gazette,
no;s.sSaps pretending to deny the charge ofbase-
ing, in the following nsShtifs: Is a5ss3a6 Chat
New-York is still 6aser and more corrupt
When next Mr.. Cobbett shall think proper to
abouse our country, he will doubtless avail
himself Of this tacit concession.
This is not exactly correct. The govern
ment of New-York is worse: and persons who
sylvania stupidity the preference to New-York
knavery. Our borers are virtuous men COM
pared with their lobby members and charter
members, and if their official characters pos
sess more talent, it is excrted for little pur-
pose save their private emolnnent and person
al ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
There are, ofcourse, exceptions Not a few
of their public men are very high-minded, but
intrigue is as much Characteristic of the poll
ticians of N. York, as stupidity is of those of
Pennsylvania. Here the intelligence of the
people operates indirectly on the government,
and thus, though in very round about way,
frequently produces the same effects that
would be produced by having men of talent
at the head of affairs. We cite the reform in
A. ,~1,..i .rJa DC an exampl. Of tba ,n,nnar
in which the intelligence of the people ope-
rates indirectly on the government, and we
could multiply such examples if necessary.

opinion Is fully confirmed by statement upon au-

the President of the u. S. lie accordingly an
pea'ed TO the President, at whose house he was
staying--(it was on his last visit 10 Washington,
and a few days before he embarked for his native
country he appealed TO the President by the most
urgent motives, requesting him to suspend Com
rs sentence, and 10 restore him to his rank; and
enforcing his application by the remark that he
should consider tlie measure as favor done TO him
sell by the United States. The President yielded;
and II was arranged that when Com. p. should
wait on Gen. L. 10 take leave of him. the President
should meet him, present him his sword and re-
store him TO the service of his country. I'M
fortunately at this crisis Com. L received an invita-

ces he could grant the boon which he had reques,ed
When, therefore, Com p. waited upon Gen. L.

turned aside and addressed himself TO another OF
