got up an interesting love affair with Lowell,
| wichita mald-a blooming "sweet sixteen
Inc two soon came to a mutual agreement
AND the young scamp had the audacity to take
his dusky betrothed to his captain, and ash
permission to marry her, and carry her off with
him. The captain, however, refused to grant
his request, and he very reluctantly took her
back to the wigwam of her father.
The gallant lover still swears like troope,
that he will yet return for his affianced bride
and carry her to the States, to love, nourish
and cherish, as long as life shall last.
After leaving the Wichita encampment, OF
village, we travelled for four days, without
meeting with incident or adventure worthy of
special note, and camped on Wild Horse Creek,
heavily -timbered mill stream in the Choctaw
Nation, whence date this letter.
The county travelled over presented the
same beautiful features already described in a
former letter, varied, however, by several charm.

quagnire swamps, oyergrown with buttonwood
and luxuriant flag plants, about which wild
geese, brants, duckas of every species, water.
hens, and snipes, dehght to congregate-glori.
GUS lakes aud swamps for shooting
As we approached Wild Horse Creek, the
timber became more abundant, and for the
last twelve of fifteen miles we passed through
alternate slips of pretty prairie and lovely
groves, neither exceeding more than half a
mile or mile in width. This is a country OF
springs.
AT this camp, we had the pleasure of seeing
the first white ladies since last June. Several
officers and their ladies, from Fort Arbuckle,
had driven out in buggies to meet us. But we
had scarcely pitched our tents, before our camp
was filed with visitors from Fort Arbuekle and
vicinity-ofhcers, ladies, soldiers, and citizens,
and among them the Paymasters clerk.
We feel thankful that we are now to have a
season of repose and recuperation. To-mor.
row, we will enter Fort Arbuckle, where we
will probably lay over few days. The second
squadron, under command of L. J. Wood, will
then run down to Fort Washita, the handsomest
and most pleasant military post in the country.

SANDING COTTON.

Correspondence OF the 10 rnal of American Produce.
BosToN, Dec. 4, 1859.
An article in the Commercial Bulletin, emit
tied Tare on Cotton, has suggested few re-
marks, which, combined with the above, seem
of nearly if not equal importance to our man
ufacturing interest Cotton has of late been
much impregnated with sand, and, to that ex
tent, showing conclusivelY Intentional fraud on
the part of the party packing the cotton in the
bale. Formerly, this sand was confined, to a
great extent, to the lower grades; but now,
even many of the middling and better qualities
are so filed, that the weight is not only very
materially increased, but the machinery for our
better qualities of goods is liable to much in
jury.
Many of our larger manufacturers, at Lowell
and elsewhere, can show to the visiter pile of
sand, which, to inform him was paid for in
American currency, of say az twelve cents
per pound, would be to excite his apprehension
that there was a necessity for having sand in
the article, for manufacturing purposes. The
extent of loss to the spinner averages from to
20 and 80 per cent. of the weight of the bale
this is the first loss, and the second is much
worse, which is the injury to machinery. 1t is
to be hoped that our cotton buyers will not
purchase the IA" Inateriai "nen Unused WIN
the soil upon which it was raised, and thereby
discourage the planter increasing the returns
from his crop by fraudulent measures.
This sand fraud may be classed under the
head of tare, though the outside covering may
be better estimated than the inside, filling up
and diffusing through the cotton of that which
no one can calculate the weight of, except by
separation, which do not occur until in the
hands of the manufacturer.
This sand matter is of as much Importance
to the manufacturer as is the importance of a
tare. Very truly, yours, SAND.

ALONE IN HIS GLoRY.-It is said that Mr.
Toombs, of Georgia, was the only Democratic
Senator who voted in the recent Democratic
caucus to replace Douglas at the head of the
Committee on Territories, from which he was
righteously deposed, after his treacherous con-
federacy with Seward Il Co.-Aississippian.
