Wool Growiag in HE Southern Stafes.-lt
has generally been thought that the northern and
mi Idle statrs alone were benefited by the protec-
ton Afforded by our revenue laws to the grow
pr, and manufacturers of wool, and that the 9th
er portions Of our extended territory, could not,
from their climate or condition, ever participate
in the profits arising from the production or ma
nufacture of this important staple. But we are
b BEGINNING To learn that this is not the case. Al
ready several considerable shipments OF wool
have been received at Philadelphia. New York,
aud this city, from the Mississippi river, and
MANY more, we are tald, are expected. This
wool has been chiefly of an inferior quality, and
has come to mark-, IN very bad condition, show
ng clearly that the farmers IN that vast valley OF
the Mississippi have taken very little interest IN
raising the article. The fact that nearly all the
wool received from that quarter has been OF this
character, has served TO give an impression, that
low grades of wool only can be raised in that
region. and that we must look entirety to the
colder northern and middle states for fine wool.
o n this point. we are happy to inform you, we
are now undes-ived A few months since.

fully on all points except the last one, and stat
ed, that, finding prejudice existing here against
wool raised IN the section of the country which
he came from, he preferred being silent on this
point, leaving the wool to recommend itself. On
looking at the wool, we at once discovered, from
the manner in which it was put up, that it came
from cotton-growlng state, and the gentleman
then confessed that he raised the wool himself, in
Mississippi.
We found it unwashed. but fine, much finer
than we had ever seen before from that quarter,
and purchased il at 80 cents per pound. cash,
which Is equal to about 46 cents per pound for
washed wool, as it comes to market from the New
England states. The gentleman afterwards re.
marked. that at this price. it was an object for
him to extend his flock of sheep, and that he
should do SO. He observed that he had been Sc

Yesterday we hal general lustration through
our city. The Inspectors of Streets employed
extra hands and carts to bear of the filth Of the

thrown into them. The city has had more tho
rough cleansing, than it has received for many
years. II is an i'll wind. Gas the old proverb

Total,

The Health Report Of yesterday is rather more
favorsble-one hundred and elsren cases, ana
fhirfy seusn deaths. The cases in private prac-
tice exhibit material decrease, and 1t VIII De op-
served with pleasure that but four deaths are re-
ported as having occurred within the limits OF the
city, with the exception of those at the hospitals
Indeed. the aggregate number Of cases and deaths
within the bounds of the city proper, since the
commencement Of the disease, is comparatively
small. This must be attributed to the care anu
prudence of that portion of the community re-
siding within the limits referred to, as well as 10
the prompttude with which they send Tor med''

premonitory symptoms.
Most of the panic that at first prevailed mas

They see that when taken in time It is manage
able disease, and it is therefore Invested OF most
of its terrors Business, we trust, will also re-
vive. 1t is the conviction of all, that proper
attention to business. inasmuch as 1t occupies
the mind, and prevents the indulgence OF vague
and foolish fears, may be considered preventive;
aud hence, many Of those who were at flrst DIS

wisest policy. Undue exc,tement-too much la

occupation of certain number OF hours each day
in the usual pursuits and employment OF life. may
be regarded as the safest that can be adopt
ed under the circumstances.

Black Hawk is represented 10 us as being sixty-fye or seventy years of age-infrm of body, and imbeciIe in mind. Neither his physiogpon1y nor his actions give any indication of talent or of fact. The FProp}tset is man of different character. He is fine looking fellow; free and fearless, in his movements and actions: | and appears formed for bold and despe- rate undertakings. He was the leader of the party that attacked and murder ed St. SSrain, their Agent; and may be supposed to have been the prime nov CT in all the enterprises against the whites. He will, probably, be tried for.
 the murder of St. Train.
 The other prisoners are mostly fnes looking men; and all of them have the same firm port and manly bearing, in
 their captivity, which distinguished them in their native wilds.
 At the time of the battle with the Warrior,' on the Mississippi, Black
 Hawk twice approached the boat with q white flag, wading into the water for that purpose The pnrpert Of his sstalkn was not understood, if heard, by the in- terpreter on board; and the old chief fled to the shore. He was not wound
 ed; but, accompanied by his sons, left
 the ground in the course of the evening,
 Black Hawk, together with two sons,
 was captured by party of Winneba-
 goes. They had them in view for three
 days in succession. Their object, how
 lever, seems to have been not 10 kill,
 but to take them alive. This they ef- fectcd on the morning of the third day, by surprising them while asleep. They
 made no resistance whatever.
 As these "miltary chieftains'' are tbe SsLyons of the day. and much cu-. Iriosity is manifested to see them, we
 state, for public information, that they
 take an airing every day, from nine to
 twelve o'clock; between which hours,
 only, are they visible. Visitors will see
 the propriety of not calling upon them
 at any other time. Rep.

The editor of this paper, having return ed, sufficiently relieved from his rick city condition D to resume the editorial chair, the late pro. tenn. editor is necessa- rily relieved from the duties imposed npon him for several weeks past.
 Before the entire abandonment of the editorial chair, the late pro. tenn. editor feels bound comply with request made to him by the Honorable 4. H. sevier. by stating on the authority of that gentleman. that he (Sevier) never did give the dodge to any of his creditors at Washington city, and that he never did plead privilege from arrest.
 Having complied wish the Col's request. It becomes necessary to state the grounds upon which the report was predicated.- Two respectable persons, direct from Washington city, residing in the Chero- kee country have reported from this place to their place of residence, that Col. Se- vier left Washington city between Satur. day and Monday, thereby lodging from his creditors; and that among others, he had given them the slip, of whom he had borrowed considerable sum, which was to be returned to them before he left the city. Ii is furthermore stated hy respect able authority direct from the city, that two days before Seyier did leave Washing ton, he was arrested on civil process, and did plead his privilege; that legal en- quiry was instituted whether or not Dele- gates were entitled to that privilege. and it was decided that they were not l; that upon this decision, bail was entered for his appearance, and upon the following day (snnday) he left the city.
 These reports are current through many counties of the Territory, and from their currency reference was made to them in our last number. The Colonel howev- CT, denies them. and at his particular re- quest. his denial Is made public. In con- firmation of lis denial, it may be nothing more than an act ofjnstice to him, 10 state, that the punctualify with which he has honored all drafts made upon him from this place, should be considered complete refutation of the report above stated.
