Mr.. Editor-Allow me to say a few words to
our soldiers and volunteers, as well as to their
relatives and friends who furnish them clothing.
There-is notion in the minds of nearly all that
,coolea socks are best for warmth and health.
This | know to be erroneous. Wool socks cause
the feet to perspire in all kinds of weather and at
any temperature, and the evaporation of that mois
ture causes the feet to be chilled. Let any one
try the experiment Of wearing cotton and woolen
socks alternately, and he will soon be convinced
| was taught to believe wool socks in winter were
indispensable, and continued in that belief and
practice till the memorable cold winter of lS55-6t
when accident taught me better. Since that l
have worn nothing but common cotton socks sold
by merchants: and whereas in the winters pre-
ceding l had suffered with cold feet, since then
feel no inconvenience from cold weather. / have
corroborating testimony which could be adduced,
if necessary.
But as the soldiers will be subjected this winter
to much hardship and exposure, would suggest
as sure means Of comfort that they should wear
their cotton socks next to the feet, and draw over
their wooden socks, being careful to have shoes
large enough to avoid COMPRISING or cramping
the toes.
Ladies' who are troubled with cold feet, can re-
lieve themselves ehectaally by using cotton and
wooden hose in this way.
Having tested this matter thoroughly in many
Instances, and being also q physician, Ihope my
advice will bes1istened to and practiced.
AS to India rubber overshoes, they are an
abominaton which no one will wear after a short
trial. Thick leather shoes are best.

Mouements on The part of The Cotton Factors of
Ne,o OrIednS.-We observe that the cotton factors
Of this city have with great uuanimity signed an
agreement to establish black book, TO take effect
from the Ist Of September next. The object is to
register such individuals (gying the pnsofice) as
have or may hereafter obtain advances, supplies,
endorsements, or acceptances, and who may, after
the lst Of September, disregard such obligations,
by sending ther cotton to other houses or selling
it at home. 1t is good move, and should have
been done years ago.
1t is but Justice TO the honorable planter, whose
credit is sometimes affected by the unworthy CON
duct of an unreliable neighbors GOOD faith Is the
fist and nlcst iGp pprLsl5 nasi5 0ftcfedle.
The black sheep, if there are any. should be
separated from the balance, and this system will
eiectually doiu.
This is self fprotectiye movement on the part OF
the cotton factors, and will not be objected to by
the honorable planter. the number Of those who
may take unfair advantages is small, but it is due
alike to the remainder aud to tile factor that the
discrimination be made.

DISCOVERY OF A MAST OF THE LEvANT, PERHAPS
A letter from Hlo Hawaii Sandwich Islands, dated
January 7th, says e.
ships mast has drifted ashore just below the
harbor of Kawalunalu in kau. 1t is seventy-sx
feet long. The lower part of the mast, which was
in between decks, is squared and finished as if it
had been used as a rack for guns, while on one
side are large spikes driven in, as though it had
been used as raft. Who knows but it is the Le-
wants mast? am convinced it is. 1t came
ashore about three months ago
Yonrs J.n.C.
We learn that Mr.. Coney, the Sheriff Of Hacocil,
Immediately on receipt Of this intelligence, started
to Kawalunalu to gather more precise information,
and we wait the report with anxious impatience.
Another account says that it had drifted ashore
but a few days ago. But whether it had been
there longer or shorter time, should it turn out
TO be the Leyants mast the fact of the entire mast
having been used as raft would 60 far to sustain
the belief that the ship had been wrecked on some
shoal reef, rock or island, and not foundered, as
is now generally believed and in the former case
there is still chance that some of the Inflated
