NOBLE GENEROSITY IN THE CAUSE OF KANSAS.
1T i. with profound pride and qualification,
SAYS the Spirit Of the South, that we announce
that our liberal, patriotic and public spirit fellow
citizen, Col. B. F. Treadwell, has given the mu.
nifcent sum of one thousand dollars in aid of
Nui. Buford's Kansas enterprise. Col. Tread

it is not often that the ability and the will to do

person. Such devoted patriotism cannot fail to
eudear him, not only still more to his immediate

MIXED Cor1oS.-Thc frequent complaints
which we hear induce us again to call the attcn
ton Of planters 10 the existence of an evil which
we have oflen before adverlsd TO, aud which
loudly calls for REMEDY. We allude ~ tue
culpable negligence OF many whose duty it is TO
attend to the packing Of cotton, Us shown by The
frequent discovery Of mired bales-riz: bales
found TO contain two three or more qualities
and colors This negligence often leads TO
vexatious reclamatons, and sometimes to e5pen-
sive law suits, ny it frequently happens tha! the
discovery is not made until the Cotton reaches
the hands of the manufacturer. at 4 distant
market But it also frequently happens that the
discovery is made here, by drawing samples from
different parts of bale. In such cases :he Cot

nerchantable and when re-sold as mired Cotton,
the factor can seldom obtain more than the mar
ket value of the lowest quality found in the
bale. Besides all This, when The irregular pack
ing is once discovered, rs it necessarily must be
somewhere and ii. some time, it throws discredit
upon the planters crop generally, and thus ope-
rates to his disadvantage. 1t also introduces
confusion into most important branch Of trade
and one that can only BE- conducted with facility
and economy upon the basis OF good faith in The
honesty and integrity of the planter. These
virtues being accorded to him, he owes it TO HIM

gentleman from Pennsylvania arrived in this
place. in search of further mid for their support,
stating that nine-tenlhs of them were already on

misguided efforts Of many Soulherners, who have
from time TO time essayed to elevate The African

RE.NoMrsATIos OF GEN PIERcE.-The indi-
cations sare-notwi,hs,anding all tho noise and
confusion"-tllat President Pierce will come iuto
the Cincinnati, Couvention-with larger num-
Der of votes than Buchanan, Douglass, or any
other person-and with very fair prospect of
being re.nominated. Hence, extraordinary efforts
are making here, and elsewhere, TO take New
Hampshire, his own State, the coming election,
in order to demonstrate that he can carry it.
The Southern Democracy cannot now very
safely throw overheard Pierce, and take up with
Buchanan, certainly not without putting him OH
platform that will kill him in the Nortl-.whcre-
az Pierce can be rctaken without any other
Southern Platform than the one he is and ever
has been standing upon. II the Southern De-
mocracy men throw him overheard, they not on
ly show ingralitude, but infdelity to one Of the
s:outest Of their protectors in the Northern
States 1t is not probable that they will Il US
desert an ally 10 whom they are bound in honor

OCCASION to rebuke those officers who are in the
habit of treating the soldiers under them harsh-
