Facts to be remembered. Tina. Consumption
is almost always produced BY cold that might
easily be cured. That Wistar's Balsam of Wild
Cherry will cure any Cough OF Cold no matter of
how long standing. That the mlder form of Con.
sumption itself is also cured by this Balsam.-
That it is conceded by many lawyers, clergymen
and physicians that this Balsam has never been
equaled for efficacy in al affections of the Lungs
and Liver. That scores now rejoice in the pos
session of good health who. but for this BaIsam,
would have been in their graves; having been
given up to die by their friends and physicians.

Camp at Arispe's Mills,

Near SdH7LLO, MeT., Sept %, 1847.
My DEAR SIR 1t is with no ordinary feel
ings of sorrow, that assume the melancholy
duty of announcing to you the death of your
brother, Capt. Sol'n Fender, late acting A. O.
NJ. He had been sick some time before he
reached this place, hut had, as we all hoped,
entirely recovered; but unfortunately was ia
ken down again about the 18th ult., and con-
tinued to get worse till he expired yesterday
afternoon.
He is universally regretted by US all, and
by none more than myself, as our business
drew us together, and for the short time we
were together, the most intimate and friendly
relations had been formed and mutually recip-
rocated.
Unfortunately for him rumored attack up
on this position caused Gen'l Wool to order
our Regiment TO move twice; and have no
doubt that the removal of Capt. Fender, for
two successive days in the hot sun under great
excitement, greatly exasperated his sickness,
If it did not cause its fatal career, as he soon
lost his mind and was lucid no more only at
times.
On his second removal, | had him carried to
Saltllo, where he received the best medical
treatment and kindest attention. At his ur-
gent request remained with him until was
recalled to camp by Col Paine. After this
was not permitted again to see him, but learn
that he was but seldom in his proper mind
Before left him he spoke to me about you
all, especially his parents, and desired if he
died to have his remains sent home to be hu-
ried with the other members of the family
! endeavored to divert his mind from such
thoughts, not then dreaming that he was at
all dangerous, as he had but little fever.
From his kind and gentle nature, his strict
morals and benevolent spirit. we should have
the highest assurance that his spirit has gone
to happier home. never had made friend
ship priced more highly, and desire most
sincerely to condole with you in this heavy
bereavement. His remains have been sent to
Monterey, TO be inferred until an opportunity
offers to have them forwarded home, and all
his effects have been taken care of and will be
sent by the first good opportunity.
am, dear Sir, very respectfully your obdt
serv't and friend, "**.

The Cotton Crop The prospects of Cotton
in the Southwest have materially improved of
late, and we notice by the New Orleans and
Mobile papers that it is expected more than
an average amount will be received at these
two ports.
In our own State it is difficult to form an
opinion. In conversation with gentleman
few days ago, he informed us that the crop in
Lexington and Newberry was very good,
while another from Fairfield says that one
planter in that district, who made one hundred
and fifty bales last year, planted seventy acres
additional this year, and who one month ago
was sanguine of two hundred bales, does not
now expect fifty. The worm having made its
appearance since then, and the season alone
has enabled him to save this remnant from the
destroyer.
Since the foregoing was written, we have
conversed with a gentleman from Fork, who
states that the prospects in that section are We
~ bad, and the planters genera ly will not
make anything like an average crop.

he was guilty or not guilty.

deny that the recent intelligence from Europe
has produced profound sensation in our bu-

protected from the worst results of state of

long cause the stream once more to change its
