On a recent application to the Land Office
by an association of negroes, to know if
they would be allowed to settle and pre-
enpt public lands, the Commissioner of the
Land Office replied that, under the now set
tied ruling of the office, which has been
sanctioned by the Secretary, colored persons
are not citizens of the United States, as
contemplated by the presumption law of the
4th of September, ls4l, and are, therefore,
not legally entitled to pre-empt public lands

asa..The Neopolitsn exiles, shipped by
orders Of King Bomba, for New York, rose
upon the Captain of the American ship
David Stewart, on board of which they
were passenges from Cadlz, aud coerced him
to carry them into Cork, in Ireland. They
will not probably come to this country at
all. Extensive preparations had been made
in New York by their countrymen for a
grand welcome reception. The prospects of
Il general war In Europe, Of which Italy is
likely to be made the theatre, made them
desire to be near the scene of action.

nsa- The cotton crop of 1858 is now put

neA-The cotton crop of 1858 is now put
down at $500, 900, the largest crop by 3oo,-
600 bales ever raised in the United States;
on an average, too, the bales are heavier
than in previous years, being estimated at
nearly 500 pounds per bale. The average
price has been l04 cents, making the aggre-
gate value of the cotton crop for the year,
about S2o0, 100000. The cost of growing
cotton does not exceed six cents per pound,
on good lands, TIE profits of the planters
are therefore very large, and will show, at
the South, unusual signs of prosperity in
consequence of the vast wealth that section
will this year acquire. Already Southern
credit sexalted in the markets of New York,
and internal Improvements are under dis
cussion, which, if realized, would give the
tropical regions of the Union mighty i'm
pulse in material progress. Harper says !:
What the enormous crops of 1855 and
1856 did for the West the cotton crops of
1857 and 1858 will do for the South
Southern railroads and steamboats, will
soon begin to take place of Western schemes
of a similar nature in our markets. What
ever is Southern will be in favor. The
effect of the great increase of Southern
wealth on the slavery controversy viii be
worth watching. s, E1 15Go
Its effect on slavery itself may already be
seen. Slaves are bringing unprecedented
pricei in the cotton States, and all the North
ern belt of slave-holdipg territory is being
drained Of the black population, at a rate
that alarms politicians who consider them
selves interested that the peculiar institu-
ton should be permanent in all States
where it now exists. If the demand for
cotton continues to maintain the Same rela-
ton to the supply, that 1t has preserved
for the last ten years, in another decade, the
bulk Of the slave labor of the country will
be concentrated upon the rich alluvials of
the Lower Mississippi and Its Southern trib-
utaries. Our geographical position, and the
character of the products of our soil and
work shops, gives us deep interest in the
progress of these commercial and Industrial
changes.

The New ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

The Memphis AuuIdnche, gives the follow
ing biographical notice of Mr.. Holt the new
Postmaster General. We hope the high ex-
pectations of his friends, will not be disap-
pointed in the results of his administration
of the Department. Ii needs Hercules to
cleanse il of accumulated abuses aad corrup-
tions :: -
Hon. Joseph Holt, the new Postmaster
General is Il kentuckian by birth. and u
lawyer by profession. Soon after lie was
admitted to the bar, he removed to Vicks-
burg and opened law Office. At that time
the Mississippi bar was adorned by the most
brilliant talent in the Union. Such men as
Prentiss', Guion, Sharkey Quitman, Boyd,
constituted the leaders of the profession,
with scores more of almost equal distinction
Mr. Holt at once advanced TO the front rank
of that galaxy of legal minds. His practice
for ten years brought back TO him the frui-
ton of his most sanguine hopes. Never was
q lawyer so faithful to the important trusts
committed to him-never were his clients
rewarded with more assiduous labor and
higher capacity to serve them. He grant
ed to his professession his Undivided atten-
ton. Though known as an unwavering
Democrats he yet was never seen at a po-
litical meeting, and never mingled actively
in public affairs. Aftera residence at Vicks-
burg of several years, finding that his con-
stitution was seriously shattered he retired
from the practice and ruturned to Kentucky
to recruit his health, and enjoy the gentle
associations of his family and frieuds. He
thus remained in retirement for about twelv e
years, uutil he was appointed by President
Buchanan, Commissioner of Patents. In
this responsible position he has given perfect
satisfaction. He is model man of business:
prompt, methodical and decided, and bring
il to bear and acute mind liberal sentiments
and never varying puuctually., Intellectual
lly Mr.. Holt has few superiors. As an ora
tor, he adattained the highest rank when
his voice failed, and his physicians positive
ly forbid him addressing and audience in
public. He is thoroughly acquainted with
the wants of the Soutd and the West, and
will not lower the policy of the late Post
masfer-General in extending to US those
postal facilities that we have a right to de-
nand. The South and West, as we'll as all
sections can confidently look to him for
Justice

BUCHANAN A CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION
Reports from Washington state that Mr..
Buchanan was highly elated at the endorse
ment of his administration by the Pennsyl-
vania Democratic Convention, held at Har-
risburg, ON the 18th inst. A letter says his
delight does not merely compass what he
deems present victory, but expands to the
dazzling platform upon which the Charles
ton Convention will exhibit the Democratic
nomination for President
Upon receipt of the news of his triumph
in Pennsylvania, Mr.. Buchanan announced
to his immediate personal and political
friends who were present, that he would be a
candidate before the Charleston Convention,
that in fact he had to be, the times demand
ed it, the Democracy needed it, the country
would not be content without it. backed as
he was by the Democracy Of Pennsylvania.
BUSINESS WITH THE DEPARTMENTs.--A
Washington correspondent of Forney's Press
gives the following account of the vexations
to which those who have dealings with the
Departments at Washington suffer:
1t is almost universally acknowledged
that the Administration has fallen under
heavy odium. Some assign one reason, and
some another; and, doubtless, there are
many causes of its want of popularity-some
well laid and others not. But the chief
among them, according to the observation
of one who has had the amplest opportuni-
ties for judging, is the utter want of business
capacity, or business habits, in the heads of
departments. Go to the leading hotels in
the city, at any hour when there is a gath
ering of the guests, and you may hear any
amount, not of simple complaint merely,
but of severe malediction, against one or the
other of the departments, for the vexatious
delays, and consequent expense, of attend
ing to business before them.
1t is perfectly well known here that, for
the simplest matter of business, citizen is
detained for weeks, and often leaves it unad-
justed In disgust, and with curses upon a
government which 80 little heeds the rights
and conveniencesof thepeople. Instances are
not wanting in which men have been kept
waiting whole twclvemonth for matter
which should have been decided In an hour
In truth, one had as well have claim de.
pending in British Court of Chancery as
before some of the departments of the Fed
eral Government. And, worse than all,
the citizen is often the victim of ignorant
and incompetent clerks, whose erroneous de-
cisions annul his rights and are final, be-
cause the heads of departments either will
not take time to make review, or repose in
the decision of their incompetent subordi-
nate--a confidence they do not merit.
These structures apply as well TO those
having public business with the Govern
ment as to those having private demands
upon it. The least inquiry viii develop nu-
merous instances of the former as well as of
the latter. There is in fact no despatch for
the citizen; on the contrary, an almost in
sulting indifference to his accommodation,
and very often he is put off without even
the consolation of receiving from his own
servants the customary civiiity and polite
ness.

BILE decay. This exhalaton is evolved 10y the &C
