been much said about sanGed and fra audnlent I

that so far as the fraudulent accusation goes,
it is almost, if not entirely, without founda-
ton. am induced to this conclusion from
an accidental discovery, made but short time
snce. l commenced packing early in the
morning; it was thick, foggy aud misty. One
of my sons went into the cotton box with his
hat "a cashmere ha) on. which was damp
when he came out ne called my attention TO
the fact that his hat was covered, literally
covered, with very fine sand, resembling fine
sand paper. This cotton was picked early,
ind was. 10 all appearances, clean and fine. II
surprised me very much, and it at once con-
WINGED me that the sanded cotton is not a
fraud, but necessity, from the soil upon
which it is produced.

MARYLANp.-Governo Hicks, in his letter
to tine Governor of South Carolina, acknow-
lodging the receipt OF the resolutions Of that
Legislature, makes the following expression
as to the position Of Maryland on the ques-
ton of disunion:
1t seems right to add the expression Of my
own opinion, that. while the people of Mary
land have canse more than the people of any
other Southern State TO complain OF the loss
aud injury from these conspiracies and AS
saults, they do not see the remedy for such
outrages in a measure which, if it were pos
sible, c(Rld only secure the continuance of
them under shelter Of a foreign asylum upon
her borders.
