The Case Of the Brig Eolus.


Capt. Matthews, of the brig Eolus,
at Bristol, who left Cardeuas on the
2ud inst, reports that a Boston brig
arrived at Cardenas the day before he
sailed, the officers of which reported
that on their passage from Havana they
had been boarded by a boat from the
British steamer Styx, aud shamefuily
insulted by the official, who cam d
the privilege OF examining their papers
and directing their movements These
officials not only behaved in the same
insulting manner as reported ON a form
er occasion, but actually drew pistols
and cutlasses as a means of enforcing
their orders, 1t remains to be seen
how long this British steamer will be
allowed to pursue this course of conduct;
but, to our mind, the very best method
of teaching its officers and superiors
good manners would be to give her a
b%roadside FRI some American vesssl
capable of sinking her in half an hour:
This practice of allowing British aud
Spanish vessels to insult our flag, and
then settle the matter with an apology,
is getting to be a great bore, aud had
better be Abandoned,

Town IMPROVEMENTS In a recent
nofice of the improvements made in
Ashland during the last few months, aud
of those nov in progress, We made some
Omissions which we will here supply.
The Store Room of Gen. SQUlnE

of tie rev firm of SQUIRE SELBr, will

General Intends, before his improvement
is completed, to replace the present front
of bis building with one of iron. Il

than any business building heretofore
erected in the town.
The building of Mr.. JonN MILLER,
a joining the MeNulty House, will be
cemmented immediately end. when
completed. will, like that of the Messrs.
FREER. be among the best specimens of
a business building, CONFIRMING to all the
modern improvements. The dimensions
Of the building viii be 25 By rs. and
three stories in height, with a beautiful
iron front.
Several dwellings. we observe, are be-
ing erected in South Ashland. while
within The limits of the old portion o.
the town, the band of Improvement is
active in the enlargement and repair of
former residepees-among which We OBJ
serve that DR.. P. II. CLARK is enlarging
and otherwise improving his already very
pleasant dwelling.
Bot the most wonderful metamorpbosis
that has occurred to any premises within
fhe town during the last SIX months is
chat which has oFertsken the old Lrick
Cottage on the west side of Cottage
street. pcarIy OPT osite the Hopewell
Church. Within the last year, this prop
erty passed into the hands of j. w.
SMITH, Esq, and the Transformation, in
ternaIlg ard externally. and embracing
fbe grounds. has been so marked aud
radical as to destroy every feature Of the
former building and premises. As re-
CARDS elegance, taste and convenience
. the old Cottage" is DoR the most de-
sirabie home in Ashland.
The Presbyterian Church is t be con
s.derabl5 enlarged and improved-the
extent aud details Of which will be de-
termined by a meeting which is to be
held in the Church On Saturday after
noon next, at 2 o'clock.
We shall tote, from time to-time, the
ehtrent improvements in our town, which
will be of more talde this season, and
Bore cteditabie to the tsste and eutcr-
prise of those making them. than any
which have been made during any former
three years of our history.

have never known a more consistent
month hat this one of May It's days
and nights have been marked by almost
eeaseless rain. The ground has been SO
wet that blowing aud planting could not

fourth only of the ground intended for

ways the best time for blowing land de-
signed foI Corn. It is yet time, how
ever, to plant Corn that may be plant

mature. The Wheat. Oats and Grass

of the year, than now. We shall also,

The Cotton Crop.

The New York Journal of Commere has the
following on the all-absorbing topic in CONNER
cial circles:
The beautiful weather in September, (which
month has been freer from storms of wind or rain
than any similar period at the South for many
years has not only matured the crop rapidly, but
has enabled the planters to make rapid progress
in picking. The rust has injured the growth in
many districts, and the overflow probably wiped
out 200 900 bales, but the remaining yield is now
almost independent of the question of frost, and
is set down generally at about $500, ,OOO bales
The picking is several weeks (say one month"; cor.
lier than usual, and this will bring an increased
quantity into the market at an early date. II any
of our readers have not calculated for themselves
the value of this crop, few figures in that con-
nection will both interest and surprise them
If we take 1900, 900 bales as the probable crop,
and $50 pounds as the average to the bale, and
considering that the quality is said to be better.
Than usualI if we assume 121 cents as the average
price we shall have as the total value OF the new
crop, in round numbers, two hundred and twenty
seven million dollars This is, to all intents and
PURPOSES, over and above the consumption Of the
ottongrowing States, and is only that which they
will have to SELL or to exchange for other produce
and manufacture. If the price named be reckon
ed too much, we shall find that even at ten cents
per pound the total value would be $l8l 500, 900,
and this is an article which will be certainly wan
ted, and which commands ready sale in all the
principal markets of the world.
