A ~REvoLUTIoN1N CoTroN PLANrINe.-The
most important discovery Of the day-certainIy
the most important to the counlry-is the adapla'

the price of the Improbable short staple cotton
hitherto produced on the high lands Of the cotton

THE CREOLEsS DAUGHTER.

Shortly after the cession Of ;he vast ter
ri,ory of Louisiana, the most fertile re
gion of the Old or New World, a young
gentleman by the name of Enslace Chet'
wood in the course Of a dcsnltory RAM
bling life, in which he had visited many
parts of Europe, came to the crescent CT
-ty, commonly called New Orleanss witl
the intention of passing a few DAYS. lie
was competently rich, well educated aud
accomplished, and possessed of such ex-
traordinary graces Of person., manner and
mind, that while alb road he received the
appellatoh oflhe "Ilandsome American
and, as report said, actually made an i'm
preston on a certain young queen, who
had been welded to an old husband for
reasons Of state--In other words, TO &C.
ment perpetual alliance between the
two neighboring kingdoms that never
preserved good undersl audins afterward.
AT the crescent city, Chetw wood-w
smoke French with great fuency-by
means of his letters Of Introduction aud
,he most efectual one of all--that which
he carried IN his face-soon became asso-
ciated with the proud old Creoles, the an
Gent lords of the soil, who at that period
nc they have heen ever since, were rather
shy of the bustling active Yankees, and
locked on their Incorporation with the
republican family as great calamity
Nevertheless, there was something about
Chetwood that dispeiled every prejudice
az soon as he became known, and hishav-
ing spent year al Paris was an addition
al recommendation. He soon became
quite domesticatej in the Creole circle,
aud learned properly TO estimate The
proud simplicity aud native integrity OF
the men as ell as 10 admire the grace and
beauty of the women.
Among those wno took special liking

cendel from Que Of the noblest families
of Normandy, 10 which belonged the he.

like the race of Napoleon, all became
kings. Tie Baron po sessed an estate in
the vicinity of the city, which though OF
great prospective value, produced but a
moderai e income, aud lived in a queer
old chateau, with monstrous peaked
roof, aud a large garden Of halt dozen a
cres in the rear, filled with orange trees
aud Towering shrubs, living on their OWL
odors, while crowds of mocking birds
luxuriated among the fragrant wilderness.
