that can be witnessed in the United States, is,
doubtless, the balconies and parlors Of the United

over to stimulate and crafty their Chde Haroldish
appetites. have assured me that nothing like the
array Of fresh female lovensss, grace, and express
sion, be seen in any part Of Europe THAT nightly
corruscates at Saratoga. There is a mingled ten
derness and sudacity, dignity softened by infan-

freedom, in the style and manners Of the beauties

IacombuStibls Cord9ge.--We copy the following
from letter of NewYor1 correspondent of the
Pittsburg Gazette The invention of the ncom
bustible rope was FIRST noticed, we think, by the
press of this city, some six months ago. Since then
1t has attracted much attention in the Eastern cities
and in almost every portion of the country. Dr. J.
H. johnson, generally known as the inventor, went
from this city to NewYork in June last for the pur.
pose of completing arrangements to make the in.
vention available for practicable purposes. He was
not in good health when he left here, and as we
have heretofore noticed, died in NewYork on the
I'd inst. Before leaving he entered into articles OF
partnership with Dr. J. A. Frydenger, of this city
the Invention being the result of their joint labor
Wehaxe read the agreement, and know that Drs,
Johnson and Frydenger were full and equal part
ners in the Invention at the time of the death of the
former. We have reason to believe that DR.. +. is
the only person living who is really acquainted
with the manner in which the ncombustible cord
age is prepared. The following is the extract from
the correspondence above referred to:

Cotton Crop.-The accounts from the country
continue unfavorable, and although we are near
the LIST Of October, general picking above Vicks-
burg The planters still complain of the very poor
yield OF the picking, and there seems to be pretty
general cry OF half crops. That the upland or mil
country has suffered very greatly by the continued
excessive dry and hot weather. there can be no
doubt. The plant in the worn lands was too back
ward and sickly to stand such continued drought,
and could not retain the hollis and forms, which
shed immensely owing to the want of strength
and vitality Of the stalk 1t is general remark
that very little fruit remains the plant and that
the picking must be soon over We might, ii
necessary, give detailed accounts from the various
parts of the cotton region, but think it unnecessary
as it would but lead to confirmation, or rather
repetition of our views expressed IN our former
articles of 9th and 18th instant.
The further we advance into The season, the
more precarious and critical is the prospect Of
YIELD and being SO close to October, it must
be apparent to all that bad weather or an early
frost would destroy the expectation of even the
present very reduced anticipations of the growing
