of the erection OF new cotton mills Prosperity has been

has enabled them purchase all the articles which they
wanted for family consumption at greatly reduced prices
AT the present moment, however, the political convul

railroads and other internal improvements in that quarter
Of the globe have compelled foreign manufacturers TO
send this country which had been destined for
home consumption, and TO sell it at any price would

TRAVELS IN THE HOLY LAND.--NO. 8.
BY HARRIET MAttTlNEAU.

There is liItle pleasure in visiting the places
within The walls of Jerusalem which are reports
ed by the monks TO be the scenes Of The acts
and suferings of Christ. There is no certain
ty about these; and the spots regarding which
there Gun be no mistake are so interesting, that
the mind and heart of the traveller turn away
from such as may be fabulous. About the site
of the temple there is no duubt and beyond the
walls one meets at every turn assurance OF be-
ing where Christ walked and taught, aud where
the great events Of Jewish history took pldcei--
Let us 90 over what found in one ramble; and
then my readers will see what it must be to take
walks in the neighborhood of jerusalem.

The Cotton Crop.


The Concordia Intelligencer of the Both ult,
says that the weather, during the few weeks last
past, has been decidedly favorable for cotton pick
ing, although the condition of the cotton from rot
and the effects of the severe storm of 18TH August,
has tended TO retard the picking process. Every
advantage has been taken of the times, however,
and great indeed has been the picking, which will
be over, this season, at an unusually early time.
On the hills, in most of the places in Adams VIII
kinson and Jefferson counties, the picking will be
finished next week. In the swamp, there is still a
great deal of cotton open, and if the weather con-
tinues fair, the picking will last for time. The
bore worm is still eating the Gotten, and the work
Of both it and the rot has been more apparent
within the last ten days than during any previous
part Of the season. The Intelligencer repeats its
belief, published three weeks ago, that damage
enough has been sustained in this section of Lou
isana and in Mississippi, near us, to make the crop
smaller than last years 1t asserts that kind Of
weatber-eveu the most favorable for picking
from this time until the end of the gathering sea-
son, will bring the crop up to that of last year in
the cotton districts mentioned.

ILLINoIs.-The Ottowa GILL; COnstitutonalist of
3lst ult says that not one of the electors on the
barnbuner ticket is wing, the entire number be-
ing made up of Democrats and abolitionists
Col Warren, a wing and an officer in the lament
ed Col. Hardin's Illinois Regiment, has been elected
over Brayman, as Clerk of the Supreme Court in
in the middle division of that State.
OF Ex-Governor Letcher, of Kentucky, in a
speech at Indianapolis spoke as follows
It is only the ultra men Of the extreme South
who desire the extension of slavery. Kentucky
did not desire its extension. The people OF Ken
lucky would soon hold a convention to amend her
Constitution, and would provide in it some plan for
the gradual emancipation of slaves in that State.
He would leave such questions as the organization
of more Territories to The people, through their Rep
resentatives in Congress- Should this question of
slavery become a contest between free and slave
States, then, with Fillmore as Vice-President, the
free States were safe, because of his casting vote
as President of the Senate"
o. A letter dated Sept 18Th, 1S4S, from Mr..
Fillmore, the Wing candidate for Vice President,
is published in the New York Express. The writer
declares in it that Congress has no right to inter-
fere with, or break off the transportation, removal,
OF disposal of persons held as slaves, from one
slaveholding State to another"
A HoAx.--lt appears that the letter to John Van
Buren,, inviting him to a Free Soil meeting IN
Gainesville, Ala. purporting to have been written
by some citizens of that place, was in fact hoax.

course of mall few days since, letter written
