New SPECIES or CoTToN.-A new species
of Cotton, called the prolific Pomegranite,
surprising any Of the gossypium family, has
been grown in Mississippi, by Gen. Mitchell,
of Warren county. The tops aud side branches
are all thckIy studded with hollis. The stalk
does not attain a height usually of more than
four or five feet, but every portion of the liant
is literally covered with bolls, which are sUs-
tanned in an upright position by the strength
and vigor of the stem and branches. The
chief peculiarly of this plant is that the stem
and branches have no jOinis, as in other kinds;
and although the boils are SO numerous, there
can be no Inconvenience in picking. The
staple is beautiful. and far more silky Than the
best Petit Gnf. From one-thrd of an acre
(measured) he gathered and weighed the past
season 2,I42 lbs, of superior cotton. One
hundred pounds of the seed cotton yielded 80 ]
lbs lint, and by an accurate test he found that
sixty .6ve bolls made one pound of lint.

Womea and Mofrimony IL. California "A
letter, dated San francisco, July %, written
by lady TO her friend in Massachusetts,
saws:
Since my, husband went 10 the god-region
houses have become vacant in all parts OF the
village, and the entire male population has
left us. The woman have been obliged, in
the absence of the males, TO congregate TO-
gether in large numbers, in the large houses,
and live together and do their own cooking,
&c. ! am now living, or as we call it, mess
ing, with q company OF fourteen. The eX-
perience Of The world, men have said, showed
that womcn could not live together without
quarrels aud 1urmoiis; but our si<terhood, at
this time, gives a plain contradiction to this
SANDER upon our sex. When not interfered
with by men, and when permitted to drink
our cup of tea g under our own vine and fig
tree" we are rs quiet and peaccahle as lambs
The demand for marriageable women seems
to be as great as for goods. This is the only
country in the world where women are prop
erIy appreciated The proportion of males in
the territory is five TO one of females, and the
labor of females is as much needed in cooking,
&c, al the gold region, as the males. There
have been more marriages the last few months
than in ten years previous, i'll this country
The squaws, before they will go 10 the gold
region, make efforts 10 get white husbands,
which they soon obtain in the present state of
affairs Father Manaque. the Catholic Priest,
has informed me that he married the last
month no white men TO squaws The con-
sequence is, that the poor Indians will soon
be left without any class of females from
which they can choose as certainly no white
woman of whatever condition in society, will
marry an Indian, when she can readily marry
Il white man OF some wealth and prominence
Some of the most ugly and slovrnIy servants

Family Circle.
The Dead Boy.


His little chair is vacant now,
His playthings put away;
The beauty of this cherub brow
Is vanished where he lay.
The music of his young delight
Is hushed forever more;
The sunny face that CLEANED so bright
Has faded from the door.
Yet still we listen through the night
To hear his breathing sweet,
And with the morn's awakening light
His kiss we turn to meet.
And through the loyelong day wo sigh
To catch his beaming smile,
And see that form go bounding by
So beautiful ere while.
In vain. in vain-a shadow lies
Where sunbeams used to tail;
The moaning wind alone rePleS'
When bis dear name we call;
The echoes of his steps are fed,
And glance and smile are gone
And now we know that he is dead,
And we are left alone.
But in each wind that fans our cheek
His own sweet breath is there;
And angel lips in whispers speak
To comfort our despair;
And every star that burns above
His own blest image gives,
