ALABAMA.--For a fortnight or more the cotton
crop of South Alabama and Mississippi, under
the influence Of the warm and otherwise favora-
BILE weather. has been rapidly improving-to an
extent, indeed, that has induced belief in some
quarters of fair yield. But latterly too much
rain has fallen and we already hear Of complaints
of injury from that cause. The boll-worm has
also been doing a good deal of damage on many
plantations. We do not think, however, that any
serious injury has yet been entertained from these
causes. But we adhere to our former expressed
opinion that the crop is too backward to give any
hope of even a fair turn out. We learn from the
cotton region that the date of blooming was fixed
at the 25th June.-.Mobile Tribune.

SLAVERY IN ENoLAND.-The London Times of a
recent date has letter, of which the following is
an extract i:
son Wednesday last we were coming from
Yorkshire to London by the Great Northern and
Eastern Counties Railway. During the time we
were stopping at the Sheford station we observed
a number of young women employed in clearing
the weeds from field the south side Of the
station, and man overlooking them who held in
his hand large stick. Our attention was attracted
to the man from the resemblance which more than
one person remarked he bore to a slave driver;
although the remark was made that of course he
would never think Of using the stickto compel APP
plication to work Judge what was our astonish-
ment when we actually saw the man beat one OF
the girls for neglect of work, and that SO severely
that the poor creature fairly WINGED under the m
Fiction We could scarcely believe the evidence
of our eyes, that such means OF compelling wo-
| men to labor were used in our own country"

Goop.--There is a volume of good sense in the
following brief piece of advice by Sidney Smith
seThere is one circumstance would preach up,
morning, noon, and night, TO young persons for
the management of their understanding. What
ever you from nature, keep 10 it, never desert
your own line Of talent. If providence only in
tended you should write poses for rings or mot
toes for twelth-cakes is more respectable than a
vainous epic poem in twelve books. Be what
nature intended you for, and you will succeed be
anything else, and you will be ten thousand times
worse than nothing"

red the petition of John w. Webster, a convict
under sentence of death, praying, in behalf OF
himself and his wife and children, the governor
and council to extend to the prisoner a commuta-
ton of the punishment awarded to him. also a
copy of the records of the court, containing the
trial and sentence Of the said Webster, and also
sundry other petitions and arguments referring to
or in support of the petition of said Webster
now report.
That, by said record, it appears that said Web
ster was Regularly indicted for the crime Of the
murder of DR.. George Parkman, and set to the
bar of the supreme court at the March term there
of, A. d. 1850-and there having been enquired
of how he would acquit himself concerning the
premises, for answer said he was not guilty, and
thereof put himself upon the country.
Counsel was thereupon assigned for the prisoner
On the nineteenth day of March following, said
Webster was again set to the bar 10 be tried. A
jury was empaneled and sworn and after full hear
ing on their oaths declared that the said John w.
Webster was guilty And thereafterwards, viz on
the LIST day of April, in said court, said Webster
being placed at the bar for sentence, it demand
ed of him by said court if he had anything to say
wherefore sentence should not be declared upon
the premises and verdict aforesaid. To which said
Webster nothing further answered.
Thereupon it was considered by the court, that
the said John W. Webster be taken to the Jail
whence he came, and thence to the place Of exc
cution and there to be hangedb by the neck until he
be dead
Since the passing said sentence by said court,
numerous petitions and arguments have been pre-
scented to the executive for the full par on Of said
Webster, founded upon the belief and pre-
sumption that he never committed even homi-
eide. Recent events, however, relieve the COM
mittee in great measure, from the consideration
Of all such arguments and petitions
On the Cd Of July, A. ID. 1850, the Rev. DR..
Putnam, by appointment, appeared in behalf OF
said Webster, before the committee on pardons,
and read confession made by said Webster, ac-
knowledging that he committed the homicide, and
declaring the manner and circumstances thereof,
and at the same time presented said Webster's pc
tition for commutaton of the sentence aforesaid.
The petition and confession were supported by an
able argumen of DR.. Putnam.
To this confession and argument, and all argu-
ments and evidence supporting it, we have given

ABOLITION TALK-The Free PRESBYTERIAN, one Of

ABOLITION TALk.-The Free Presbyterian one Of
the conscience organs, prates as follows:
We publish in another column an account of the ar
rest and imprisonment OF Mr.. Chaplin, formerly editor
OF the Albany Patriot, for assisting the escape of the
slaves Of Messrs Toombs and Stephens from Wash
ingon City. The National Era is out in condemnation
of MS conduct. We have heart to Join in this CEN
sure. The STAKEHOLDER is simply pirate holding by
thiet's title, his fellow in bondage who has pre-
cisey the right to be free himself This being
the case is only the right but the duty of the slave
only lawful means in his power is to run away 1t is
therefore his right and duty whenever chance of es-
case is presented, to embrace it, II it be right for him
10 make his escape OF necessity right to assist him
Therefore the act Of Mr. Chaplin for which he has been
arrested and committed to prison, was wehonestly be-
lieye, pleasing in the sight of God.
