Fortjfcations on Cheat Mountain.

Tie Richmond Dispatch thus describes the
y,,,yral Tort Oh Cheat Mountain:
The FORK Oh heat Mountain is said TO be a
d,-p,,sc almost inpregnable. Some OF our men,
IN, Rust himself among them, have approached
; % nearly as to look over into it and see all
dat was going on in it. and also the exact nature
Il the ratification. 1t is built on the summit
+ Cheat Mountain, in Randolph County, just
where the road crosses upon a Hill which has no
level land upon it's top, but suddenly descends
IN 10Th sides The forest along the road at
Ms pont. as for many miles CT the adjacent
ccmrv, consists of the white pine, which are
ti ana stand close together, while the under
cr,vtA, is almost wholly mountain laurel SO
jonsc and interlocked as TO be almost impenetra-
he Here the enemy cleared several acres on
each side of the road On the outer boundary
,b,v ,laced the tall pines they had cut down,
rayIillly trimmed and skinned. with their tops
'utwayd presenting to aTy one approaching Il
mass Of sharp points raised to a considerable
ticht and strongly intcrlocked. Inside Of this
tev bult wall of logs and cut It deep ditch
IN the road they built up, in line with the for,
,t.Qton, breastworks of great strength, and
u,antcd them with pivot guns, while in tho
armed also with cannon On the east side from
Il: fort to the Cheat River, one mile and quar-
rr distant, they cleared the road for some dig,

Recurring to the remarkable fort on Cheat
Nourtalu. while it is creditaGe to the ingcnui
tyot the enemy, it induces very earnest regre
thu; we ourselves had not held that position
wien we had it, But if it cannot be taken, o.
curse it can and will be turned. GeR Lee has
indeed, already turned it ; but he had still SOM
aje of taking it, which we suppose this oxpe

CoTToN FORA CoLp CLIMATE-A new rival
to the cotton fields OF thu South is receiving at
tention at the hands Of the press. 1t is a new
kind OF cot!sn plant or tree which thriyes in a
cool climate. Mr. r. c. Kendall of Maryland
says that he discovered it in the Andes, near
the fortieth parallel of latitude, and that the
ground around the tree was then covered with
snow. 1t is perennial, and lives many years
1t may be propagAted either from seeds or cut
tings. About the third year it begins to yield
a CROP of hollis without seeds, which are not pro
duced in much perfection until the seventh year.
The tree grows to about the size OF our peach
trees, and the first one observed by Mr.. X,
about IS feet in height, bore a crop which he
estimated at nearly one hundred pounds. Mr.
K is confident that this tree can be cultivated
wherever Indian corn can. In its general quail
tiles the fibre Of this plant has been pronoun-
ced by cotton brokers equal to the best Sea Isl
and variety, and some bales of it have been sold
in South America for lGc per pound. The yield
is great. With favorable soil and situation,
200U pounds can be raised per acre, while MY.
X claims that half that amount can be depend
ed upon on an average, Five hundred pounds
per acre is held to be good yield at the South.
- Important, if true.

which was to arrive at just settlement of the
difficulties. a-..
On that committee have steadily acted with my
colleagues of the slaveholdng States who were
really and unaffectedly DESTROYS of restoring peace
and consolidating the Union principles Of justice
and equality.
Although it did not entirely meet the approval Of

mony we were induced, the first day Of our meet

the only difficult question: that of the territories
upon the basis of constitutional amendment, pro.
hibiting slavery above and protecting it below the
parallel of thirtysix degrees thirty minutes, North
latitude.
