The Largest Crop OF Cotton ever yet An.
nOuneed.

The following extraordinary statement has
been made TO us by Col. Quarles, on whose au
thority we give il TO the public: Mr.. ID. w.
Quares, son of Col. Quarles, whose plantation
is on Oyster creek, in Brazoria county, has made
this season FOUR HUNDRED bales OF cotton on
ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY acres Of land, and with
TWELVE HANDS! About three hundred bales Of
this cotton have already been picked, but the
picking is still going on, and when completed.
the amount will not be less than four hundred
bales II is not pretended that the whole Of this
has been picked out by the same twelve hands,
for during the picking season, Mr.. Quarles EN-.
ployed large number Of hands to assist him,
whose labor will cost hundred or more bales,
so that the net proceeds Of the twelve hands will
be two hundred and seventv-fve or perhaps
three hundred bales. The whole Of this cotton
was planted and cultivated by the said twelve
hands, and the only help they had was in the
picking. To prevent any misunderstanding Of
this statement we are authorized to say that the
bales are Of the average weight Of those usually
made in Texas, that is about 500 lbs. each.
In addition 10 the above we have authority TO
say that the same twelve hands have raised and
gathered during the season 1900 bushels Of
corn from thirty acres Of land, which is consid-
erably below the yield Of corn last year, on the
same planLUOH. u MAY Dc VI sOme lHteTest
here 10 state that the above crops Of cotton and
corn were both planted in February, which Col.
Quarles thinks is the month in which both cot
ton and corn should always be planted in Texas
The picking Of the cotton was commenced on
the 4th Of July last.
If, after paying for tho extra labor required to
pick the above crop, there shall remain 275 bales
which is the smallest named, then the net pro.
ceeds of the twelve hands will be within small
fraction Of % bales each, TO which we must add
1911 bushels Of corn, to make the total product
of each hands labor; and this, at the prices Of
cotton and corn, cannot fall much, if any, short
Of one thousand dollars TO the hand
Should our readers wish confirmation Of the
above statement, we are authorised TO give the
names Of Messrs. Williams, Gass, Compton,
Lobdell, and Love, who own and cultivate ad.
Joining plantations, and will bear testimony TO
its correctness The land which produced this
crop is of the usual quality Of Oyster creek
lands, and, indeed, of the bottom lands Of Texas
generally, Of which any one may be readily con-
WINGED by bis own observation

Letter from Col. Ramirez,
CAMARGo, October 10, 1851.

CAMARGo, October 10, 1851.
Gen. ANTONIO NJ. JAuREGuI:
My dear Friend-I have received your es-
teemed letter of the 9Th inst, with the one Won
were pleased to send me by the same bearer from
his ESccllency the President, Don Mariana Aris-
Ia, and both relative to my taking an interest in
pacifying this frontier, the tranquility of which
has been disturbed by the revolution which
has broken out, and is headed by Don Jose NJ.
J. Carvajal believe it impossible for you to
imagine, notwithstanding your good judgment.
how II has panied me 10 see that this frontier
should have seen itself compelled 10 take this
violent but necessary step for its own preservn-
ton, for its disregarded wants, and for its insult
ed rights. Our representatives in vain raised
their voices to obtain a remedy for our evils:
in vain the people met in popular juntas meet
ings), TO present their complaints to the general
government through their respective authorities:
in vain has the governor Of the State made
manifest the evils on this frontier, and pointed
out the remedy for the same and in vain have
we. the individual friends OF ST. Arista, contin-
ually indicated the same TO him for the frontier
has been left abandoned, by placing it in the
hands Of impotic and oppressive military ty-
rants, who have exasperated ard aggravated the
sufierings Of its virtuous inhabitants. The gov
eminent Of Mexico, perhaps, deceived by the
illusions Of power and greatness, believed the
sufierings Of this frontier TO be necessary vas
salage from which il could not extricate itself:
and on this account it looked upon il with in
difference, and as a contemplate corner of the
republic; but ii will now be satisfied that il
suffered for the honor of tie nation itself, and
not for the want of capacity to resist the attacks
Of power.
All these towns have seconded the plan of the
revolution by uniting their forces TO sustain Il,
inasTnuch rs they have found il not only in ac-
cordance with their wants and interests, but in
accordance with those of the retrograders Of tho
interior
Senior Carvajal has already started from this
town with his forces; and have sent him your
original letter, for him 10 take the same into con-
sideration, and give il the attention he may deem
proper. | would wish that the revolution might
be terminated without further efusion Of blood
TO me il would be grateful, for love order and
peace, but without debasemcnt. The govern.
ment had time TO have conciliated the interests
of this frontier, by polite measures; but il Judged
proper TO let il alone until the last moment. and
should it realize this idea, it sill afford me pIes-
sure. believe il difficult, and very imprIdent.
TO delay in proposing them
This is all that can say in answer "a vou,
letter, offering myself individually your sffec,;o.
nate and attentive servant, who kisses Won,
hands. MAT1AS RAMIREZ.

A Notifying Fact.
We copy the following from the October num-
Der of the NonLhRrn Liternru MESSENGER:

We copy the following from the October num-
Der of the Southern Literary Messenger:
A correspondent of the Southern Era, a
pleasing weekly paper of our city, devoted to
the cause of temperance, describing q visit to
Montpellier-the former seat of President Madi-
son--tells Us that there is not even the rudest
headstone to mark the spot where the remains
of that illustrious man are deposited. This in
telgence fills us with surprise. IL is indeed
Notifying fact that one of Virginias most dis
tnguished sons should be thus neglected in the
grave. A few years and who shall say, in the
strange mutations and yicissitudes of time, that
the ploughshare may not rudely disturb the
ashes Of the mighty dead No lineal descend
ants were given the great statesman to perpetu-
ate his family, and guard the Lares of the home
stead. But shall not the burial-pace of Mad-
son be considered sacrosanct by all Virginians,
and should not the exact six feet of earth which
his ashes occupy be marked with some enduring
memorial, while those yet alive who can point at
the spot, beyond the possibility of n doubt?
at may be remarked here, as a singular
omission on the part of the commonwealth, that
neither public monument, nor statue, nor paint
ing, has ever been erected to Mr.. Madison. III
we mistake not one of the statues to be executed
by Crawford, for the pedestals around the base
of the Virginia Washington Monument, is to
represent him as the type of jurisprudence. We
would, if possible, have his form and features
transmitted to posterity in every way, in marble
md on canvass to be seen in our capitols and
universities while the commonwealth shall sur
we. But thisis of inferior moment to the duty
of guarding his, remains from Dissertation, for
what need has he of monument while stands the
perfect Constitution of his country, which came.
from his hands, totus, teres atque rotundus
What needs our hero for his honored bones, F
The labor of age in piled stones G
Or that his hallow'd reliqnes should be hid
Under a star y-ponting pyramid
Dear son OF memory, great heir OF fame
What need'st thou such weak witness OF thy name
Thou in our wonder and astonishment . ..
Has built myself a ive-long nionunent. va
awhile on this subject it may not be consd
cred frivolous to allude to small matter of YER
bal propriety in connection with the country seat
Of M. A.adison-The reader may have noticed
that we spell the word with TWO rs. This is
upon the authority Of Mr. Madison himself and
of Mr. Jsfisrson, who was punctilious to the last
degreein theamatters Of orthographys We may
add, that jnnearly all the correspondence Of the
early part Of this century in which Montpelier
was mentioned, the word was thus spelt."

THE EXPEDITION TO SoSoRA.-The Los An.
geles California; Star has the following re.
speeding an expedition TO Sonora. This proba.
bly, gave rise to the Mexican report of an inva.
sion:
II will be remembered that in May last com.
pany Of 40 men passed through this city, on
their way 10 Sonora, in Mexico. Three of them
arrived in town yesterday, having been absent
about FIVE months. The rest Of the party, ex-
cepting one that has died. are on their way hither
and may be expected daily. Their object has
been to explore the country and prospect for
gold. They state that they found gold, silver
and cinnabar all through the southern part OF
California, but the gold as general thing, is not
sufficiently abundant 20 pay for working. On
the north side Of the ella they found a very rich
silver mine, where they stopped about six weeks.
While there, a large party Of Mexicans arrived
from Sonora, but the Indians attacked them and
forced them 10 leave. In Sonora they went as
far as the town Of Altar, about 800 miles from
the boundary line. In the northern part they
found silver and gold, but the expense Of trans
porting provisions 10 the mines, and the scarcity
Of water, prevents their being worked with pro.
fit.
The men state that they were courteously
treated in every town through which they passed
The authorities would not grant them permits
sion to mine, but they told them they were at
liberty to prospect" as much as they pleased.
The country of Sonora they represent as in
many places destitute Of vegetation, and unn-
viting in every respect. Water is very scarce.
In coming up they were two days and nights
without water.
AT some places the Mexicans mistook them
for Morehead and his party, regarding whose
contemplated expedition they had heard.
