GREAT DESTRUCTION TO THE Co1ToN
CRoP. The Charleston Evening News con-
tans letter from Combahee, in that State,
which says
81 hasten to inform you of the disastrous sit

my life, there is not leaf or blossom scarcely
to be seen in the fields. When wrote few
days since, they had Just made their appear
ance, but they have completely destroyed the
crop at the --, for they are eating the half
grown balls; they are not quite SO bad at the
other plantation, but will he in the course of
three or four days. If had had five hundred
hands employed in destroying them, no good
could have been DONE The whole neighbour
hood is completely destroyed, from what can
hear, and the adjoining neighborhood shares
the same fate; we have entirely TOO much rain
for the remaining part ofour crops, it is a great
injury to the slips and peas 1t is distressing
and heart-rending to look at the Cotton fields;
the Islanders share a worse fate than we do
for their Cotton was not so we'll matured for

they came 10 u.s."

DEATH OF ANOTHER BALTIMORE VoLuN-
TER IN MEXICO. We have been politely ia
vored with the following letter, written by Mr..
r. w Reaney, under date of Camargo, Mexi-
co, August 20th and addressed to the afflicted
mother of the young man whose death it so
feengly announces;
.Madam:-By request of Capt Jas e. Stew
art, who has been much afflicted by the melan-
choly intelligence, it deyolVes on me 10 inform
you of the death of your son, George A. Chids,
who died at Camp Belknap, on the Rio Grande,
opposite Burita, Mexico, on the 18th inst at-
ter an illness Of ten days, ofTyPus Fever.
A detachment Of our battalion, including
Capt Stewards company, being ordered some
400 miles higher up the river, we were com
PEELED to leave him in the Hospital two days
before his death; but assure you, notwith-
standing the malignant character of his dis
ease, he apparently suffered but little pain, and
had the most unremitting attention paid him
during his illness, He was buried immediate
ly under our Colonel's tent, with Military ho-
nors and funeral services. A rude head and
foot board, afectionately erected by his COM
panions, tells the sad tale that your son reposes
in Baltimore Volunteers grave, far from his
native city, and those he loved. | have often
seen our Captain personally engaged in minis
tering TO his comfort, and have heard his most
positive commands that no exertion should be
spared which might possibly relieve him.
Having performed, in few words, the sim
pie duty of announcing the demise of your son,
| will not attempt to offer you those consola-
tions and reflections which better becomes
your immediate friends, but you will pardon
me for reminding you that he died on duty,
endeavoring to uphold the interests of his
country, and has escaped many prvations,
many a weary march, many dangers, which his
companions have yet to undergo, and perhaps
a sadder or more painful end

The Mormon WAR. A letter from @ Iincy,
dated on Monday evening, informs US says the
st. Lsuis Republican, that there was no news
there, from Htncock county, later than we
have already been put in pc session Of 1t was
probable that some decided action would take
place between the bclligerents, about the mid
die Of this week. There must be either an ar
rangement of the difficulties between the hos

for so large number of men as the Anti Nor

THE LATE Felix GRUMPY MCDOWELL
The Washington correspondent of the Patriot
thus refers to the late f. G.. Mcconnell of Ala

consequence of ntemperance:
Now that General Mcconnell is dead and
gone, people begin 10 remember that there were
bright spots in his character. knew him long
ago in Alabama, and while he was in Congress
and some Of The newspapers and letter-writers
were handling him roughly, he would often
come TO me, on account of our old acquant-
anceship, perhaps, and with tears in his eyes,
beg OF me to ntercede in lis behalf and try TO
get the editors and letter-wrters aforesaid to
let him alone He would say that he asked it,
not for his own sake, but for the sake of his ex-
celent wife and children. On these occasions
| more than once told him that he knew as
well as he could be told, hoto he could put
stop to the abuse he complained of. He would

him what he expected his end would be- He
replied seriousy-for he was sober-that he
knew not. His wife, he said, was good
Christian, and would 60 to Heaven. He hoped
his children would; but as for himself he could
only say that at one period of his life he was,
for thirteen months, sincere exhorter in the
church, and fthe God above did not look back
to that period of his life with favorable eye,
and save him, why then he would be lost, for
he could do nothing now towards saving him

PARTING OF THE WIDOWS SON.

BY MRS, l.. II. sIooURSEY.
Yon slender boy his bark hath launched
On ife's deceitful tide;
] His balmy years Of childhood Q Ter,
He goes without a guide
Amid the stir and suife of men
His devious course TO run,
The tempter and the snare 10 bide-
God bless the Widows son.
s He turneth from the pleasant door,
And from the garden fair,
Where with his little spade he wrought
Beneath mothers care
He bears his head like manhood high,
Yet tears their course will run,
When on his stranger-hed he re SITS
God bless the Widows son.
We say he goelh forth alone
To dare the eVentful field
No, no! n spell is rouad him thrown,
More firm than diamond shield
A mounful mother, fervent prayer!
So, till his life is done,
Till time, and toll, and change are DER

BILE disease is making sad destruction Of this
important article Of food All the efforts and

importation of tobacco, as well as in that of rice.
The importation of every kind of grain and of
breadstufs, excepting barley, has very much in.
creased. The Importation of sugar has also con-

upwards of ten million pounds weight but entry
for home consumption does not exceed that of last

There is diminution in the importation of both
