THE COTTON CROP.
EXTRACTS FROM LATE PAPERS.

A strong sensation is prevailing our
community in regard 10 the cotton crop
of the present season, All Of our most
intelligent planters have had their appre-
tensions aroused by the recent appear.
ance of the caterpillar in various parts
Of this State and Louisiana,
The continued rains, during the entire
spring and summer up to the present
time, had thrown the cotton crop OF the en-
tire southwest at least three weeks in arr
rears, besides having possessed the growth
of succuIency and richness which now
induces the worm to prey upon 1t WIN
unusual devastation. The worm has made
lis appearance at least four weeks earlier
than known before, which, added 10 the
three weeks which the crop was thrown in
arrears by the rains of the spring and sum
mer. makes fall serCn peeks later than
usual. That these are facts any of our
most intelligent planters will testify. We
saw several IN town yesterday, and they
all agree in their conclusions.
In various parts of our own, Adams
county, the caterpillar is at work making
great havoc, while in other parts he has
not appeared in person, but has sent for
ward the moth as herald TO announce
his coming
The officers of the Paul Jones informed
some our Cit zens, as the boat passed down
ON Wednesday, that all the plantations al
which they stopped on their last trip up,
from Walton Smiths. six miles below

above Vicksburg-iu all a distance OF l1O
mies-the presence of the caterpillar was
reported to them A most excellent far
mer who has a valuable plantation some
% miles above this, on the Louisiana side,
reports that they had entirely ate of the
tops OF his cotton, and that OF several Of
his neighboTs.
A gentlemen Just from Bayou BGntt
La, reports that there they had attacked
the cotton, aud carried destruction into al
most every plantation And such is the
melancholy condition Of crops IN Louisiana
as far rs we have been able to hear. The
appeafance of the destroyer in our owl
State betokens his spreading Throughout
the entire cotton region. Anu u suCl
should be the character of the visit, no
a halt crop of cotton will be made the pre-
sent year. We heard two or three larg
planters say yesterday, they would com

Baltimore Sun of Tuesday gives the following account
of an Intellectual attempt at suicide by of those
contented and happy" chaltels PERSONAL they keep
down South
Yesterday evening, about seven o'clock, a coored
woman ran down Camden street to the basin at Light
street wharf, and crossing one of the vessels lying
there, sprang overheard. Measures were Immediately
taken for her by persons around which proved
successful in spite Of the most determined resistance
however, on her part Upon being taken upon the
deck of the vessel she begged the bystanders to let
her drown herself, stating that she would sooner be
dead than 90 back again to be beaten as she had
BEEN" 1t was understood from of the crowd
that she had jumped out of the window of the place
in which her owner had confined her, and Immediately
took the nearest route to throw herself into the water
short time after she was rescued she left the boat,
and pursued her way along the wharf to Pratt street,
and down that street, making during the time she was
in our view, several efforts to get near enough to
the platform to throw herself over, but she was
foed in these attempts by the crowd which followed
her.

ing extracts from that paper Of the 10th;
"By Mexican citizen, direct from Camargo, we
are informed that the Government has ordered the -
mediate appearance of General Arista and Ampuda in
the city Of Mexico the former to explain satisfactorily
the causes of the msfortunes which betel the army in
its late unsuccessful attempts upon the American for
cesthe latter, no doubt to sustain some very serious
charges which he has preferred against Arista."
''Gen. Arista passed through Monterey some twelve
days ago. upon his way to the city of Mexico, Gen.
Ampuda proceeded by the way of Tampico."
"By the return of Capt. Princes Ranging Compa-
ny, from Reynoso, informed of the safe arrival
and occupation of Reynoso by Lieut. Col Wilson. lie
met with opposition upon the way but found they
approached Rcynoso mostly all the farm houses aban-
doned. The encampment was made in the public
square, the inhabitants offering opposition. Gen.
Canales had caused to be published bondo or order
by which the citizens were called to their allegiance

the invaders. he same decree published at the
different places where it was supposed the American

ii Presbytery is determined to be understood on the
question Of slavery AT meeting of this body held at
Lane Seminary, May 2G, among other items of bust
ness, was the dsmsson of Mr.. Mills, licentiate, to
the Harmony Presbytery, Kentucky In performing
this brothery act the Presbytery felt bound to take
the following ORDER which they did, reported in the
Waterman Of the Valley:
"Inasmuch as Mr.. Mills is in good standing with us,
and the Harmony Presbyery is an integral portion of
the Presbyterian church, the Presbyery fell bound to
grant him regular dismisson; but they at the same
time bear their testimony and protest against the prin-
cipe and practice of savehodng, whichis tolerated in
that Presbytery and which is c!eaya gross offence
according to the definition given in our form of gov
eminent D. ii. chap. l., sec. 3.
&c We believe that slayehoding is contrary to thu
Word Of God, and IN lis O,cn nature sinJid-and We
know that it may and does tempt others to SIN and MAJ
their spiritual edfcatiOn. We therefore eXhort OH
young brother, and the Harmony Presbytery, to USE
every effort in their power Presbyterians and chris
tan men, to put away from among them this cruel evi
and scandalous offence"

JALISCO DECLA AIRING FOR SANTA ANNA.
The Telegraph brings advces from New Orleans

toned there, and the citizens, attacked the palace of
the Governor and after some skrmishing parey was
held, the issue of which was that the troops who re-

No account had yet reached Vera Cruz of the de-
