The Cotton Crnu,

a writer in the N. o. Picayune of Aug.
10, speaks unfavorably of the Cotton Crop
in Louisiana, Arkansas: Alabama and Mis-
sissppi. He estimates that the whole crop
of the present year will not exceed 1,S00,-
600 bales. a correspondent Of the Edge
field Adrcriiser writing from Pike County
Alabama, under date Aug, 9th, 1850, says:
Il am sorry to report so unfavorably Of the
crops in this section; have never seen so
poor prospect for Cotton in my life" A
writer in the Southern Cultirator for Sep
tcmbcr says: ''You lave doubtless read the
numerous accounts published in the news

toh Crop, in every section of our Cotton
growing region. The complaints Of the
Cotton planters of sorry crops, were never

mcn's, of Withholding one cotton crop, for
n single season, must be disastrous in the
extreme. Taking single year, long be-
lore the cotton manufacturers had reached
l!'eIr state OF present prosperity, we find
that there were manufactured, at the North,
out of one crop Of cotton, two hundred and
twcnty-sN thousand, eight hundred and
cighty-balcs The wages padto operatives
who arc dependant on the manufacture of
this cotton in the same year was ten mil

There arc persons In The South with Wis

Water Oxen.

We notice The arrival from CONSTANT
nopIc, per bark New World, via Liverpool
ol two pair OF Asiatic Buffalo Calves, or AS
they generally called in the books, Water
Oxen.
These animals have been imported bv
Dr. Davis, for Mr.. WILLIAMS MrppLrroE,
who we understand, some time since
adapted (by wire fcncing) a large extent of
land Tor the rearing Of Cattle, and in which
he has about one thousand head sustained
entirely by tho natural resources Of the
land, not only giving him large revenue,
but adding greatly to the supply of the
veal, butter, and beef markets in our city.
a pair ol these Water Oxen, brought
out by DIR. DAVIS over year since, are
really objects OF curiosity (and of course of
correspnn ling promise) from their remark
able tatness, and this from feeding on the
marsh grass of the Doctors farm. Mr.
MIDDLETON has in his enclosure n great
deal OF this marsh land, now valuclcss'
which, we believe he s now about to turn
to good account with these animals.
These Water Oxen disregard mud and
boGs, and arc hence well adapted, as work
ing Oxen, in such lands. a great part Of
the day they spend in the Ashley river and
IN artitical pond on the Doctors farm,
with only the nose out Of water They
grow 10 an enormous size, aro fair mixers
and very fair as beef cattle.
We are thus particular in this notice,
hoping that the planters on our extensive
marshes and rivers, where the freshcts are
SO destructive to cattle, will examine int,
the capacities Of these animals, and avail
themselves ofthis facility Of importation.
The cost of each, including all expenses
Is only about sixty five dollars, and with
the acquaintance of the Doctor. in the East
can bo easily procured We will take oc-
Gas!on somc time hence TO report in detail
, tba success of Dir. DAVIS In his attempt at
Hcelimting aninals from abroad into this
