~ ,Stoektng case o. + f.Porture.--The follow
jngssls ssiGl ease storlufe;, which2may
appear as incredible as it is horrible, is
true in all is particulars
A short time since,a lady who moves in
The highest circles Of society in this city,
thought she had reason to believe that a
colored girl, employed in her family as a
dom estic, had pilfered several small articles
about the house. One morning ihe lady
drew from the Philadelphia Bank the sum
Of S22 in four five dollar bills aud The rest
in silver. She carefully wrapped the mo-
ney in the corner Of her handkerchief. and
safely pinned it inside the bosom Of her
dress, which she carefully placed in The
wardobe, and put on her dishabillo, and
proceeded to look after her household.
Several hours elapsed, when she all al
once thought Of the twenty-five dollars,
which she had laid upon her bureau !op,
and 10 brealhless hasle, ascended 10 The
chamber 10 getil; but it was nowhere TO
be found.
"Tha, black jade has stolen the money
CALCULATED The suspicious woman.
She then FASTENED 10 The landing Of the
stairs aud called out at the top Of her
voice
Reuy! Houy! come here you black
huzzv."
In the twinkling OF an eye the hall
frightened daughter Of Ethiopia was on
the stairs.
"What did, you do with The money, you
black imp Of the devil ~
III didn't take no money" replied the
little girl, trembling from head TO foot.
"WilI you Tell me lie, you huzzy
I'll learn you!Walk iuto the nursery
there"
The little girl obeyed The will Of her
mistress, aud presently both were in the
nursery. The girl was stripped Of clolhing
from head 10 foot, aud the mistress, with
the fury of,e maniac, scarfied her back
with The thin end of cowskin..
Tortured to madness, the girl made
several desperate though vain attempts
10 jump from the window, to escape from
the lash Of her cruel tormentor. Finally
she said she stole the money, and, being
afraid she would be found out, threw the
silver down a well, and put the other in a
rat hole in The vault. The rat hole was
searched but the notes could not be found.
The husband now arrived home, aud
after patiently hearing the slatment Of az
fairs, spoke al FIRST Kindly to the little girl
and sho told him different story. He
became vexed, and applied The lash 10 her
qliverihg back.
The blood ran freely and the sufferer
implored for mercy. She was afreid lc
deny the theft, but her obduracy in telling
so many lies 10 hide it was mailer o.
surprise. Night atlasi came, and young
man, relative Of The family, came home
10 supper. He was made acquainted will
the racls, and thought OF plan which
would bring the deliquentto 10 proper sens
of her du:y. After The family had >taker
their evening rcpast, he ascended to TIT
loom where the half naked bleeding gir
was prisoned, and asked her what sh
had done with the stolen money?
"Nly," said the crying child, 81 threv

Ne,o Coiion.-The N. O. Commercial
Times of 10Th inst. notices the arrival in
New Orleans. of two bales Of new cotton
the first pickinss Of this years growth
from the plantation Of Gen. A. 6. Carter
East Feliciana, consigned to Messrs.
Ward. Jonas s. Co. The first bale re-
ceivcd last year was on The 7lh August,
which was premalurely gathered, and de-
feclive in qualify; whereas, the sample Of
this years crop, is fine specimen Of new
cotton. The quality is about fully Mid
ding Fair, aud the staple remarkably
good The color is not very bright, owing
probably to the cotton having been ginned
in somewhat damp state. Neither of
the bales had been sold up to the close Of
the day. a gentleman Of Mobile states
that The cotton is held at I7c.
The N. o. Delta, Of the llIh inst. says
-"We stated, yesterday the arrival oftwv
haIes Of new cotton from the plantation nf
Gen. A. G. Garter. We learn that Mr..
Tainbuil has already ginued5sand Abnled
forty bales ofnew cotton, at his new and

Er:ract off Leiter from an Oyerseer 10 a
gentleman in Nashville, dated.
JEFFERSON CoUNTY, (Ark.l July 25.
The prospect for Cotton crop is very
slim at present. The worms, are eating
and cutting the Cotton at an awful rate.
They have been on my Cotton about a
week, had fine prospect for crop. |
am now satisfied that there will be no
Cotton made in the county, if the worms

Ertract cf a Letter from a gentleman in
Arkansas to friend an Nashville,
dated: LITTLE Rock, July 2S.
I fear the worms will cut off most Of our
cotton crop, as we'll as Of The lale corn, this
year. They have only just begun their
deprcdarions, aud have all ready heard of
several fine fields of cotton, and some Of
corn, being entirely destroyed. They are
far worse than last year. aud / fear that
every plantation will suffer. Some who
expected week ago 10 make 100 bales
will not mako a hale. have heard only
partially from Jefferson county, but, as far
have heard, the worms had commenced
their depredations, and Judge Roane's and
Gen. Byrd's crops are said to be alike. II
so, our plantations will be almost ruined.
The late corn and potatoes, learn, fare
as bad as the cotou. The worms first
commence on the grass and weeds, and
then devour the other crops ahd spare
nothing.
