Our farmers are in good spirits concerning their
crops of cotton the weather for the last week has
been fine, and with the prospects Of abie price is
calculated to make them quite independent. An the
harm we wish them is that It may be always So I'M
migrants need not be afraid Of moving to Arkansas,

The Washington Telegraph of the 9th inst says
The weather for the past ten or twelve days has
been more favorable to the planting interests. The
previous heavy and continued rains have injured the
cotton crops to extent. The extent Of the in
jury, however will depend somewhat upon the fall
season. As yet but little cotton has opened and
there has been picking done in this vicinity Some

ExPERIMENTAL.-A correspondent Of the ST. Louis
Republican, writing from Kentucky, reports the fol-
lowing facts as discovered by an experiment OF 4.
H. Clay, ESQ Horse doctors and those acquainted
with horse flesh will take notice:
neighbor of his, a breeder of horses, lost eight
colts one season, four OF them thorough-breds and
four of them common, scrub stock. He amputated
the legs of all of them, and boiled of the esh eleah-
ing the bones thoroughly, to learn by examination
what difference, in respect of bone, there was be-
tween pure blooded horses and common ones. On
taking the bones OF the thorough-breds and holding
them up to the light, he noticed that they were
almost transparent, as much so as white horn. He
tried the same with the bones of inferior stock. They
were opaque, and transmitted light no more than
buffalo horn. He then tested the bones by weight,
and found the thoroughbred by far the heavier,
showing their superior substance and sodity. They
were hard and dense as ivory.

NORTH CAROLINA PRINTING PAPER--A cores
pondent OF the Petersburg Express, writing on board
the steamer Roanoke, at Portsmouth, Va, says To
my surprise the Roanoke took on here about three
hundred bundles OF paper all manufactured in North
Carolina, and shipped to the port of New York via
Portsmouth But the strangest idea connected with
this transaction is the fact that the most of it is sold
dom shrieking sheet the Tribune 1t is said by some
that Greeley married in Warrenton North Carolina,
and therefore has some sympathy remaining for the
Old North State. This may be assigned reason for
his purchasing paper from slave State but the true
secret of the matter doubtless is that Greeley gets it
little cheaper than he could in the free States and
where money enters into any transaction with which
Yankee Abolitonist is connected, you may take it
for granted that the pecunary consideration will out
weigh every other. Love for negroes, country, and
all things else, must give way for the love of nam
mon Richmond Enquirer.

The packing building of William Russelrs powder
mills in this place, was blown up about O'Clock last

were playing with matches near il and one of them
a son of "A. E. Bradford, was instantly killed, and
the other fatally injured. About thirty kegs of pow
der were in the building, but the explosion did not
materially iniure any of the other houses in the

(Mss.) Clarion, of the 18th inst, says:
We do not recollect any previous year when the
corn crop has been abundant. The farmers in this
section have had trstrate season. too, for saving
their fodder. We may set it down, therefore, that
bread for man and provender for beast will be abun-
pant and cheap for the next twelve months.
The cotton crop hereabout has improved wonder
fully within the last two weeks and although it is
impossible that an average crop can be made, the
yield will be better than at time thought pos
sibe. The weather is fine for picking and the plan
tiers are improving it.

THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DIsTRIoT-The following
in regard to the movements of the American candi-
date for Congress in the Third District, We clip from
the Lake Providence Herald of the 18th inst:
Appointments.--Mr Watterston, candidate of the
American party for representative OF this Congress
sional District arrived here on Thursday evening.
He will remain several days in the parish. By his
request, we notice the following appointments he has
made for this portion of the District. On Monday,
the l4th inst he will be at Richmond in the parish

seph and Waterproof, in Tensas on Thursday at
Harrisonburg in Catahoula on Friday at Trinity

and 22d inst he will beat the court house in Ponte
Coupee on the 24th at Marksville, in Avoyelles !;
and on the 2Sth at Paquemine in the parish of her
vile. .. -. ..s ...-s
Mr.. W. proposes to address the people, whenever
he may be able to obtain audience, or to meet
competitor but he states that it is due those gem
tlemen who claim the. nomination or seek the suf-
tages of the Democratic party to declare that they
have had personal notice of his arrangements. He
hopes, however, thatthis will reach them in time to
afford them the opportunity of debate, if they desire
it, The engagements of Mr. w. in the eastern por-
ton of the District will preclude any further visit to
this portion of it after the LIST proxo, unless some
extraordinary occasion should demand his presence

THE LOUISIANA CoURIER.-With regard to the
Democracy of this District, the Courier uses the fol-
lowing singular language
If the Democracy of the District unite victory is The
who hinder that union will be dnly by
Conrer long after the November election.
BAH Who does the Courier suppose cares any,
thing about its remembrance, good or bad? Does
the Courier suppose that such covert threats will
have any force or weight with any honest and true
Democrat in this District? Now, let the Courier
commence the dirty work of its master and institute
its system of crlminaton, abuse and denuncation of
the true Democracy of this District as soon as it
peases, and it will find its hands full 'Duly remem-
bered,' may the Lord bless and preserve us. The
that talks like that had better get his friends to
bring him up to Jackson, where he can find company
that may prove more congenal to his ideas.
