PENNSYLVANIA COTToN. - In secluded
spot in the Twenty-third Ward, within range
Of the whirl Of cotton machinery, is an acre
of cotton, large, luxuriant and well matured
for the season. 1t was planted as an expert
ment Were the season about thirty days
longer, it would be an entire success. We
have examined the field, and with great in.
terest. The plant per Sc is very beautiful.
Its blossoms closely resemble those of the
althea. The first day they are snow white,
a single plant we counted forty balls or pods
in which the cotton is contained. We have
often seen it growing in single plants but
an acre of cotton in these parts is rare
sight. Should it mature, the planter will
spin il for the uses of his own family. Some
of the Individual plants in this little field are
equal in dimensions TO any ever grown in

and is a son of the late Charles W. Colds
borough, for many years Secretary to the
Board of Navy Commissioners. He entered
the Navy at an unusually early age-June
Is, l9l2-having personally solicited his ap-
pointment from President Madison, and,
passing through the various grades, became a
post captain September IA, 1866. When a
lieutenant on board the Porpoise, October 16,
1927, he was distinguished by the dashing
manner in which he captured piratical brig,
by boarding, driving the pirates into their
boats, and finally to the shore, keeping up a
running FIRE, and producing great slaughter
among them.
From 1853 to 1857 he was Superintendent
of the Naval Academy at Annapolis, a
position for which his studies had fitted him
in. an eminent degree, and the duties Of
| which he performed with marked ability,
| receiving the special commepdation of the
Secretary of the Navy. Among the ships

the Ohio, IA; Cumberland, "A and Congress

CAPTAIN HAYEs's ARCTIC EXPEDITION
Nothing has been heard of the Arctic expe-

Captain Hayes, since last Fall. At that time
the Captain was on the coast of Greenland,
at point about sixty miles north of Upper
Navowick. From that place he sailed north
The expedition may be looked for during
the next month, and probably the first intel
ligence from it will be brought by DIR. Hayes
himself unless the expedition of Hall, which
started at nearly the same time, brings back
some intelligence on their return. If Cap
tain Hayes does not return before the end of
October it is more than probable that he will
have gone into winter quarters in some por.
ton of the Upper Acrtic regions. He has
plenty of provisions, as he was obliged to land
d large quantityeon the Greenland coast be-
fore starting on the more perilous portion of

MISSIONARY FIELD IN WESTERN VIRGINIA.
1t would appear from the revelations of such
letters as the following, that the Virginia
mountaineers need schoolmasters and mis-.
sionaries.
The great scourge of the mountainous dis
tricts of Western Virginia, at this time, is the
thieves and murderers. The population it.
self is only one remove from savage barbar-
ism, and the outlaws, belonging to neither
side, prey upon both.
These scoundrels would assassinate man
at any time to secure his boots, and if un-
armed, the temptation is only the greater.
wish our amiable President could take ride
on horseback through these mountains. No,
do not. There would be a vacancy in the
White Housewife thin scoundrelly spe.
cimen would find enough in the Presidents
gray suit to clothe an entire family. l wish
he could witness, however, some of the
scenes with which we are familiar, and he
would soon change his humane inhuman
policy of swearing and-let him go. again" )"
The evil, however, is being cured in way
peculiar to itself. To shoot an unarmed
traveller, or man engaged in erecting tele-
graph posts, for the sake of pair of boots, is
assassination and as we have no court to
appeal to, the surviving friends and relatives
generally get up a court of their own.

PREPARING FOR ADRArT.-Adjutant-G Gen.
eral N. B. Baker, of Iowa, has issued the
following order:
ADJUTAKT- GENERALS OFFICE OF THE
STATE OF Iowa, DAVENPORT,
September 10, 1861.
To Members of Boards Of Supervisors Of
Counties, and Others;
The State OF Iowa is furnishing her full
quota of troops, but calls are made for more,
and they shall be furnished.
To meet promptly the demand of the Gen.
eral Government and Of General Fremont,
the military necessity exists of making a
draft from the able bodied men of this State
between the ages of eighteen and forty-hve.
Therefore request that members of Boards
of Supervisors will report to me the names
and residences of such able-bodied men
within the ages above named as are subject
to be drafted. And also ask of any persons
we'll known to this Department, to report
the names of individuals liable to military
duty. N. B. BAKER,
Adjutant. General of Iowa.
Iowa has now in the field eight regiments,
and there are five others nearly ready at
Dubuque, Iowa City and Davenport. Some
Of her regiments have seen hard service in
Missouri. Nobly as the State has done, her
authorities seem determined that she shall
do better. Iowa is the first State to propose
draft, though it is possible that this may
not be necessary.

Henvy Man Robbery:.

Deputy United States Marshal NJ. G.
Archer, of Crtstline, arrested, Tuesday
morning, in Chicago, @. d. Redeaker, bag
gage master on the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne
and Chicago Railroad, on charge OF mail
robbery. The through mail train going
West has been robbed three several times,
on the nights of August 9th or llth, 10th,
and oath, after the hour of twelve o'clock,
between Crestline and Chicago, by breaking
open the through mail bags. These mail
bags have been in charge of the baggage
master, who has acted as route agent, and
the robberies have occurred between Van
Vert and Delphos, both in Ohio.
The baggage master says he has been wide
awake upon each of these occasions, which,
of course, is considered incompatible with
the circumstances in the case. United States
District Attorney, Robert f. Paine, Esq,
issued the warrant for his arrest on the Gath.
The letters taken were mailed East of Co.
lumbus, some thirty of them having been
picked up along the route Of the road the
morning after the robberies. The extent Of
the robbery, or the value Of the letters, is
not yet known, there being one, however,
from Iowa containing $50 draft,
This affair will doubtless be cleared up in
few days, the officers being now engaged
in vigorous prosecution and investigation oi
the robbery. a.
