A VALUABLE ARTICLE.-China grass is an
article which should be Immediately introdu-
duced into the United States. In China it is
cultivated along the borders Of rice fields
Queen Elizabeths time cloths made of it were
imported into Europe. The Hollanders pre-
ferred it, for fine fabrics, to those made of fax.
The tenacity is such that a thread may be
spun one hundred and seventy feet long with
out winding. 1t is fifty per cent. stronger
than fax. A thread over six miles in length
weighed only triAe over one thousand two
hundred grains.

The FEVER In MISSISSIPPI f-Wesclip the fol.
lowing items from the Vicksburg Whig, Of the
I'd. We rejoice at the abatement of the pesti-
lence in Vicksburg, while we mourn over its
prevalence in other localities: .e-l r..
We publish to-day the weekly reports Of the
city sexton and hospital physicians, ending at
l2oclock A. NJ, Oct /, 1856, from which the
number of deaths in the city and at the hospital
(outside1 will be accurately seen. s4
We are happy to be able to announce de-
cided abatement in the disease. Wehave heard
of but very few new cases to day, and nearly
all of those now sick are doing we'll We think
we can reasonably look forward to the disap
pearance of the scourge at an early day.
Warrenfon.---We are very sorry to learn
that the fever is on the increase at this place
From gentleman there, we received yesterday
letter announcing the death of Judge May
nader, Mrs Turner, wife of VIM. H Turner,
Esq, and Mr.. Parton There were three new
cases on Sunday evening, and they sent up for
more nurses, which were promptly supplied
jacobson. I'VE learn from persons in from
jackson yesterday, that the fever has broker
out there with unprecedented violence Our
informants are reliable, and state that at least
seventy persons have been attacked with the
fever during the past few days.
We learned late last evening that the yellow
fever mad broken out with great violence at
Milleken's Bend, and several persons had died
Of it. E W. Morris, formerly sheriff of this
county, died on Friday last. They were very
much in want Of nurses.

RoT IN THE CoTToN - This disease in the
cotton is making fearful rayages in this parish
Indeed as fer as we can hear from the State OF
Mississippi, and the surrounding parishes, one
general opinion prevails, and that is the crop
must be cut short in many instances more than
half. What we call the young cotton, which is
that that came up after the rains, about the
last of May and the first of June, suffers much
worse than hstwhich came up earlier. This
at best would not have made more than half an
average crop. AS it is the prospect is gloomy
enough. Those planters who were SO fortunate
as to get early stands, would make fair crops,
butfor the rot. If this disease in the cotton is
general throughout the cotton region, the yield
must be greatly less than it was last year.
