CoTToN SEED OIL.-Twenty years ago 1t WAS
estimated that the value of the surplus cotton
seed Of the Southern States, if converted into oil,
could not be less than ten millions of dollars 1t
was also estimated that this surplus capable
of producing nine thousand six hundred and sixty
eight millions of cubic feet of gas, more than
enough tosupply twenty -four such cities as London,
and equivalent for this purpose, to 100000
caldrons of coal. Cotton seed oil also constitutes
m e1cellant lamp OIL and serves well for painting
The oil cake is capital feed for farm stock. Of
all the valuable uses to which the seed Of the

THE YANKEE Loss AT Fort DONELsoS.-
when the Yankees admit SO much in the fol
lowing, we may safely conclude that their loss was
terrible:
Never perhaps, on the American continent, has
q more bloody battle been fought. An officer
who participated, and wounded in the fight,
says the scene beggars description. They fell in
heaps, dead and wounded. Companies We're bercft
of Captains and lieutenants, and lieutenant were
almost bereft Of companies. So thckly was the
battle field strewn with the dead aud wounded
that he could have traver3ed acres of it by taking
almost every step upon a PROSTATE body. The
Rebels fought with desperation, their arfillcriss
using their pieces with the most fearful effect

HOW FLOYD WAS DRIVEN FROM BU.
CHANAN'S CABINET.

Thurlow Weed. in letter to the Lon.
don STAR gives the following account Of
the expulsion of Floyd from the cabinet
of Buchanan - .v.m..
"In February, Maj. Anderson, COM
manding at Fort Moultric Charleston har-
Dor, finding his position endangered, pass.
ed his garrison by prompt and brilliant
movement, over to the stronger fortress
of Sumter, whereupon M. Floyd, secreta-
ry of war, much excited, called upon the
president to say that Major Anderson had
violated an express order, and thereby
seriously compromised him (Floyd,) and
that unless the major was Immediately
remanded to Fort Moultrie he should rc.
sign the war Office. The cabinet was as
sembled directly. Mr.. Buchanan, explain
ing the embarrassment Of the secretary
of war, remarked that the act of Major
Anderson would occasion evaporation in
the South he had told Mr.. Floyd that,
as the government was strong, forbearance
towards erring brethren might win them
back to their allegiance, and that that Of.
ficer might be ordered back. After an
ominous silence the president inquired
how the suggestion struck his cabinet 2
Mr.. Stanton, just now called to the war Of
flee, but then attorney general, answered:
That course, Mr.. President. ought GER
tainly to be regarded as most liberal tow
ards 'erring brethren : but while one
member of your cabinet has fraudulent ac-
ccptances for millions of dollars afoat,
and while the confidential clerk Of anoth-
er-himsclf in Carolina teaching rebellion
has just stolen 100000 from the In
dian trust fund, the experiment of order
ing Major Anderson back to Fort Moul-
trie would be dangerous. Dut if you in
tend to try it, before it is done, l beg you
will accept my resignation And mine
added the secretary Of state, Mr.. Black
And mine, also,' said the postmaster gen.
eral, Mr.. Holt And mine, too followed
the secretary Of the treasury, Gen. Dix.
This of course opened the bleared eyes Of
/, the president and the meeting resulted in
the acceptance Of Mr.. Floyd's resigna-
tion."

Thursday, Feb. 27, 1852.

y
All the way up to Clarksvillewe found
evidences Of loyalty among the scattered
residences along the banks of the river
Beyond this however, there seems to be a
decided change. The people were just as
plenty, and expressed just as much curl
osity to see us but instead Of waving
hats and handkerclifs, they stared at us
in sullen silence. They seemed benumb-
ed, stupefed at the change as though they
hardly yet appreciated the fact that it
was the Stars and Stripes. instead Of the
Stars and Bars, that hung from our flag
staff.
Even the negroes, usually demonstrative
stood like ebony statues of astonishment
and stupidity. and gave their supposed
deliverers never cheer. One old fellow
did, indeed, get up little enthusiasm he
was, however, long distance from any
house, and only ventured to shake his
battered hat from behind the protection
Of an oat-stack. ,trt
The only other case in which q sign Of
welcome was vouchsafed, was that Of a
pretty Miss, Of some seventeen or therea-
