GROWING CoTTOK IN CUBA--A novel speculative
movement, says the Baltimore Sun, has begun in
Cuba, a joint stock company having organized for
the purpose of encouraging the growth of cotton.
The capital of the company is put down at eight
millions divided into four thousand shares Of ST.
500 each They propose TO buy up all the cotton
growing lands of the island, especially such as are
unfit by nature otherwise for the growth Of sugar,
and put them at once under cultivation. The COM
pany also proposes to engage in cotton manufac-
lures. The movers speak with confidence of their
enterprise which they say has the approval and en-
couragement of the Government.

THE WHEAT CRoP.-A citizen of Miami Township,
in this county, brought to Office yesterday, what
appeared at first sight, to be fine specimen of the
wheat crop this season. The growth was luxurisnt,
and the heads numerous and fine. Upon an inspec-
ton of the latter, however, noticed, much to
regret and establishment, that they were deeply
tainted with rust and that about half of the heads
were bad We were assured that this was the case
pretty generally in that section Of the country and
that it would have most material effect in diminish
ing the crop.-C Cincinnati EnouireT.

KENTUCKY LEADS THE wAYM
4 HEAVY GAIN IN LOUISVILLE!
THE STATE GONE LARGELY DEMO-
CRATIC Z!


We have just received the following dispatch
from the Post Master at Lexington:
''James B. Clay elected over Hanson by one hun
bred majority. Large Democratic gains in this
part Of the State!'
The intelligence by last nights dispatches give
us seven hundred and twenty gain in the city of
Louisville which indicates considerable reduction
of the Know Nothing majority in that district.
From Hopkinsville, Christian county, we have
received dispatch stating that PeytOn, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress, has carried that
county over johnson, Know Nothing, by fifty ma
jority, which is a Democratic gain, and indicates
that the gains are general.
Shall Kentucky give a larger majority against
Know Nothingism than TENNESSEE That is the
question which we are to determine.
Since the foregoing was in type we have received
the following additional dispatch from the Post
master at Louisville:
" democratic gain: Clay elected in Ashland Dis
trict. Legislature Democratic. Seven, probably
eight Democratic Congressman elected Great re-
jOicing here"
