Cotton Culture.

The London Times of the 18th specuiates
on the probable insuffciency OF the present
sources Of supply of cotton for the manu-
factories of Great Britain. II says On
this produce depend oui manufactures, and
upon our manufactures depend our mex
haustible resources and our national pow
err"
After enumerating the various countries
where CLIMATE and soil arr adapted to cotton
culture, it arrives at the conclusion that
America not only has the initiative, but is
likely to keep it, Notwithstanding all Efforts
to increase the supply in other quarters -
Asia, Africa, Australia and Brazil. are
adapted to the products Of cotton 1t
grows most luXuriantiy in India and Dor
neo. The French are pushing its cultiva-
ton in Algeria. But iD a, those places
there lacks the necessary organization Of la
Dor and capital, or the people are wanting
in energy and skill On the other hand all
these conditions exist in the United States
in full and successful operation.
Lately, however says tbs lao, Sc the
supply has threatened To tail in keeping pace
with the predictions development Of the de-
mand. and variety Of circumstances appear
likely 10 increase tie disproportion thus
first created The most important of these
circumstances are, thu competition of man
utacturers Oh the continent, and our homt
use Of the raw material. These considera-
,ions have induced Manchester manufaetu-
rvrs to organize association. for enlargng
their sources of supply The Iims' reaches
the following conclusions
The Americans know how TO grow cot
ton, how to pick it, how To dress il, and
how to pack it, Ships in abundance are
rcady 10 carry il from Char s-ton 10 Liver
pool, and the whole trade from first 10 last
has BEEN brough, into the bcs, operation by
long practice and good returns
But this supply is not equal to the demand,
and Is likely TO become less equal than It Is,
Englaui nay be obliged TO hsd other r.
sourrs but to DO this she must find mon
ey, machinery, and wits, (which the Hin
docs and Borucans have mott ami with
well selected territory, she +" may sooh he

duction OF cotton

The Movements Of Gen. Walker.

The New York Evening Posi-, Of Monday,
states upon what it calls good authority,
that Gen WALKER will sail this week from
New Orleans for Nicaragua, with 1900
troops, in fine steamer, with plenty Of am
munition and provisions. Col. DrScAS Of
the L. 5. army goes out to command the ar
tlery.
In connection with this statement We pub
fish the following letter, which wa. addressed
by Gen. WALKER to Gen. CAss. under date
Of Sept. 10th, 1851, and which has just been
made public
Sir-lt is currently reported that the
ministers Of Costa Kca and Guatemala
have asked the interposition Of the United
State, for the purpose Of preventing me
and my companions from returning to Near
aqua. This request is further based on the
assumption that have violated or intend to
violate the neutrality laws Of the United
States. The want Of all official intercourse
between the government Of the United
states and that Of Nicaragua will hope,
bel sufficient excuse for my addressing you
on the faith Of a public report but the ru-
NOR comes in such form, that am salts
fled the ministers Of Guatemala and Costa
RIGA have attempted to dishoaor the Repub-
lie Of Nicaragua in the eyes of the United
States and am further convinced of the
fact by decree Of President Mora, date at
San jose, on the eth Of August last, and or
dered to be communicated to diplomatic
corpse generally.
The ministers Of Costa Rica ard Guate-
mala attempted tohumilate Nicaragua by
representing themselves to the United States
as her protectors and guard ans in behalf Of
the Republic of which | claim to be the
righttul and lawful Executive | protest
most earnestly against this assumption on
tie part Of Costa Rica and Guatemala, and
ask that the Government Of the United
States will not permit itsslfto be influenced
by such prctensons on the part of these two
Central American powers.
On the contrary it is TO be hoped that
the United States will, by its conduct, as
sert and vindicate the independence Of its
sister republic the sovereign State OF Nj
caragua. 1t is my duty further TO say that
the people Of Nicaragua have not consented
to the military power at present exercised
over them by the agents Of Costa RIGA and
Guatemala, and that they therefore cannot
he held responsible for any interference of
these latter States. desire to relieve Nj
caragua from any responsibility for such
officiOus ntermeddling. So far as any yio-
lation on my part is concerned, deny the
charge with scorn and Indignation. Hav-
ing been received in the L. 5. when forced
for time to leave Nicaragua, have in all
respects been obedient TO its laws.
And permit Inc to assure you that shall
not so far forget my duty as an officer Of
Nicaragua, as to violate the laws of the
U. s., while enjoying the rites ofhospitality
within IFS limits
have the honor to be
Your Obedient servant,

The s.,thsrn Limit Of Corn aud Winter
Wk~st

A writer in tho Chicago Pres di-cours-
ing very learnedly on the limits wherever
the new Sugar Cane f,he Sorghum,) can "
grown Ia perfection, remarks a. follows:
We are therefore disposed TO assume that
the profitable culture Of this plant for sugar
making will be found below the line where
1t is sure 10 rIpen 10 oil SEASONS, and this line
We also assume TO be 80 deg. 20 min, and
10 which we will add not only Indian corn
but place the northern limit OF the winter
wheat range. This is not TO be COMPOUNDED
with the northern winter wheat range which
lies within the snoto t,ma. This line Of
climate changes 10 some extent in passing
across our State being affected by topo
graphical changes, Of hills and woodland
On the east side Of the Illinois il makes q
detour, including most Of the counties OF
Ta<ewell and Woodsord. and returns back
by the river TO its normal limit.
That Indian corn cannot b. proiitably
crown north Of the line before indicated Is
waste Of time to deny we may assume in
this place that below that line il will always
fully mature under ordinary treatment
Not 40 Of winter wheat, which is found a
very uncertain crop north Of the points in
Dictated, and we assert without fear Of sue
cessial contradiction, that taking series Of
years into account, il will not, nor has not
paid the cost Of its production while on
the other hand spring wheat proves valu
able paying crop.
We are surprised that any paper whose
chief editor knows ~ much about the
Northwest IA does Mr.. Ross, Of the Pres,
should allow statements, like the above,
which every school boy knows, are incorrect,
TO appear without contradiction. 1t may
bs policy for the people Of Illinois to con.
tend that that State is the paradise Of this
country, and that any place further north is
barren waste but we advise them TO
kep that opinion out Of print as long ~
people will travel TO the Northwest, or 9th.
erwise their reputation for truth will suffer
and very possibly the character Of their
State will be injured.

Land oairs.-Fasiesu,t and Mankato

The great Inconvenience arising from

the great boly Of the lands open 10 pre-
cmp,iou. AMI 10 remove il from time to time
as the ntcN~sities or Interests OF the settlers

and lily able to bear any unnecessary ex.
pcnse in securing thcir Prescriptions; and
more particularly is Il desirable that they
should. in the present hard times be
sparrl any outlay Of time or money ALSO
la,ely necessary in securing the presumption
OF their claims In view Of the fact. that,
