CAPTURE OF AN EAGLE IN THE BALTIC. As
May in the Gulf Of Riga, fne eagle, which
had flown too far from the land and got tired,
was seen at daybreak one morning resting on
the flying jibboom. He was captured, and a
wooden house made for him, to which he was
attached by strong brass chain; but as the
sails we're letting fall one day, he got frightened
at the noise, and striking out with his wings to
the full length Of his chain, such was his
strength that he wrenched the brass bolt from
the wood, aud the Emperor tas the sailors had
| named himl scared away, chain and all.

southern Yacht Club Regattas.

The following interesting description on the
boat race at Pass Christian on the 2lst inst, by
our correspondent, from some cause did not.
reach us until yesterday We would Judge from
it that the contest between the two favorltes'
the Sylph and Ripple, was Of very exciting
character and we'll worth seeing.

Eds. Creseent-The race of to-day was rather
an unusual one for the Club to run, the yachts
being divided into two classes. the first measur-

two prizes for each class The course was the
usual ONE triangular angles Of % miles, twice

East The starting gun was fired at I minutes
before / o'clock The whole feet got under
way without hindrance; they presented very
handsome appearance as with free sheets they
bounded over the waters towards the first stalk
boat stationed towards Cat Island. Running
directly from the spectators, it was impossible
to tell, with any degree Of certainty, which wa
ahead, leaving to the friends Of each yacht tn
privilege of claiming the front rank for his ia

PROSPECTS OF THE CoTToN CRoP.-The follow
ing extracts are taken from the New York CIR
oular Of Talcott & Brother, made up for trans
mission by the Baltic which sailed for Liverpool
on the 10th instant:
We fully confirm our advices in regard to the
growing crop transmitted per Asia 9Th, and
Europa 18th instant. For your perusal We
have selected from numerous letters to hand
since our last, the annexed, knowing them to be
reliable. al
MONTGOMERY, September Z.
DEAR SIR We have now to assume more
decided position as to the cotton crop Of this
section, for that it will be short of last year is
no longer o matter Of doubt. AS to the great
South Western crop, we are at o loss in forming
an opinion; for though it is generally repre-
sented as promising large yield, yet we cannot
divest ourselves of the idea that, to greater or
less extent, the same influences Of weather and
temperature must have extended to and pro-
duced q like effect upon that, as our crop, with
| this advantage however in its favor, the lands
are fresher.
| The crop of this, and all higher latitudes is
Iirreparably injured, unless we shall have such
a season as in 1889, the probability of which is
of course very remote. A very early killing
frost would convert the brilliant prospects Of
July into short crop.
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, Sept 7
DEAR SIR Thinking you would like to have
correctinformation as to the condition and pros
pect of the growing crop, have concluded tc
write you
The drought which has prevailed over all thu
cotton country since the 1st of July has been o
q most blasting and destructive character
parehing and whitening up the plant as if a fire
had passed over it, killing it entirely in many
places, causing general shedding of small bolls
shapes and blossoms. Nothing has been making
for long time except on the river bottoms
proper and the wet spots on the creeks, which
in comparison to the uplands is one in a thou
sand. ALI the uplands have failed signally
worse even than in 1854. This crop per acr,
is no better than that, the total yield will b,
the difference in planting You can safely &C
on short crop The picking will begin to clost
next week; half the planters in this part o
Georgia and Alabama will finish by the end o
this month, (September.)
The extravagant estimates of crops, agains
which we cautioned you per Pacific, August 4
are no longer INDUCED in, and even when re.
ferred to, none seem anxious for the credit o
paternity 1t is to be regretted that they ex
ercised any influence in Liverpool, made up as
they were, hastily, on superficial view of the
subject, by estimating the yield from the sud
den and luxurient growth Of stalk and leaf, tht
result of fine, forcing weather during May AM
June, following the frosts of April, which rem
dersd replanting necessary.

The Ripple having to allow the sylph
minute and 5O seconds measurement, it gave
her the prize by minute and II seconds. The
Ventare having to allow the Stingaree /
minute and 27a seconds, it gave her the prize
ty 50a seconds.
So ends as brilliant series of regattas as
had ever been run on our coast. Although
the number Of yachts has been small, they
have made up in quality what they lacked in
quantity.
The contests during the four days, between
the Ripple and sylph, have been specially
marked. AT no time during the running of
any one of the four races, at any point of the
race when the time could be taken, have they
been as much as 8 minutes apart, while, as 3
general rules their difference in rounding the
stakes has been counted by seconds. Com
Robinson must look to the laurels of his pet"
for, in my opinion, they are in danger. I am
not alone in believing that to his admirable
sailing master and competent crew he is as much
indebted for his success the past week. as to his
yachts sailing qualities.
Yet would not be understood as taking one
jot or little from her well earned fame,it stands

Robinson my NEED Of praise for the admirable
manner and style in which his yacht is always
brought into action. Her captain, crew, bal
last, sails, spars and every thing else, are
always just what they ought to be, and to this,
as much as to any thing else, is he indebted for
his unexampled success.
Truly yours, AN Ex-YAcHTsMAN.

By the time they had got round the wind had
ffeshened up so that they had as much as
they could stand up under, and were compelled
one after another to take in their flying sails.
From this out the whole contest was between
the Ripple and sylph. The Ripple passed the
first stake just ahead of the sylph but on
hauling on wind they were so far from the
spectators that It was impossible to tell which
had the advantage until they neared the sec
ond stake, when it became evident that the
Syfph was leading. This lead she maintained
to the close of the race, adding another wreath
to her crown of laurels. Mr.. Robinson may
well be proud of his beautiful yacht, as our

BENEFIT OF MISS VIRGINIA KEMBLE.-The bill
Of performance at the American Theatre on
Poydras street tomorrow evening, on the occa-
sion Of this young lady's benefit, gives promise
of some very attractive features, and should,
and probably will, draw a full house. The
amateur performances hitherto this season have
exceeded expectation in excellence, and there is
every reason to believe this will be an improve
ment upon them, Jordan, the great drummer,
will appear, and we understand that the Ma
tional Guards, Immediately after. their parade,
are to be present in uniform. The theatre
building has recently undergone extensive re-
pairs and is fitted up in excellent style.
A STEAMER FIRED fNTo-We understand,
says the Savannah Georgian of the 21st. that
the United States mail boat Welaka on her last
trip up the st. Johns, was fired into by parties
at Jacksonville. Four or five shots were dis
charged at her from piece of ordinance, sup
posed to be q six FOUNDER. One shot only took
effect. passing through her cabin and slightly
wounding one Of her walters, a negro, the pro-
perty of Mr.. Jacob De La Motta, of this city.
On her return she was allowed to pass without
molestation, but we understand that repeti-
tion Of the outrage was threatened on her next
trip. She suffered no serious damage from the
shot which passed through her cabin.
1t is to be hoped that the authorities of
Jacksonville gave no countenance to this high
handed procedure. We abstain from comments
in the absence of detailed statement of the
circumstances attending the affair. @5
