cotton culture In Nicaragua.

Since the unfortunate civil war COM
menced in the United States, considerable
attention has been directed here TO the
cultivation of Cotton. Last year a very
few bales were shipped. The season,
however, has been very injurious TO the
crop, on account of the heavy rains,
which extended nearly two months be-
yond the ordinary rainy season. Next
year the crop will be very large in COM
parison with what it has been heretofore.
No doubt il would be still further in
creased, if the same facilities were given
to planters as they receive in the cotton
growing regions Of the United States,
that is, an advance on the coming crop.
There are but three parties purchasing
here at present, yiz:-Mr. j. e. Russell,
an American merchant, who was the first
TO encourage the growth of this staple in
Nicaragua Mr.. j. j. Deshon, also an
American, and a company Of natives.
Mr.. Russell gins by steam-the others by
water power, The Cotton is purchased
as it is gathered from the fields, and sells
at two cents per pound. Three pounds
Of it maks one pouad of clean Cotton.
The quality, though Of short staple, is
very superior, and commands a high price
in Europe. There is no better cotton re-
gion in the world than the great plain Of
Leon, which is capable Of producing a
million Of bales annually. Large bodies
of superior land can be purchased in this
magnificent region az a very small sum
per acre. The timbered lands can be
cleared at one third Of the expense at
tending the clearing Of lands on the Mis-
sissippi and its various tributaries. One
evidence that this IS a natural cotton
growing country, is the fact that IL grows
wild, on trees eighteen feet high and six
inches in diameter, beariug crops semi
annually, Of an ordinary short staple
cotton. l have seen, so far, four varieties
Of cotton growing here, viz the green
seeded, the black seeded, which comes
clean from the fbres of the staple like
Sea Island, the yellow or nankeon cotton,
and the wild cotton.-M y. Journal Of

A correspondent Of the Grenada Ap-
peal pitches into Gen. B%EAUREGARD for
expelling newspaper correspondents. He
says: an a
at is believed by some that Gen. Beau
regard has been induced 10 issue this UNI
just and tyrannical order by Gen. Bragg,
the most waspish officer in the army, or
by some one of theswarm Of gaudy but
~ter1lies who bask in the sunlight of his
presence-many of whom IRE volunteer
aids of officers whose merits have not
been duly appreciated by The independ-
ent writers of the day. The truth is,
the characters 20 whom / allude are the
bano Of the army. There is hardly a
general officer in the service who is not
surrounded by a multitude of volunteer
aids, with a whip and spur, (the latest
style of riding,) who follow in tho train
Of their chiefs like a comet and who,
though ornamental, are seldom uscfSl
For the most part they are young men
who have wealthy parents and who have
not the patriotism 10 enter the ranks and
perform the duties Of a true man aud a
soldier. They are pert, insolent and
impudent; they ride. fine horses with gay
%trappings, use an immense amount Of
gold lace, swearli like a trooper, and render
themselves generally disagreeable and
ridiculous. This is true not only Of the
aids, but OF many officers whose heads
have been turned by their sudden clova-
tion, and who think they are required to
exercise their power every hour in the
day, lest somebody forget what mighty
men Of yalor they are. These characters
are generally known in the army by the
vulgar but expressive name of squirts,"

A strange suicide was perpetraied
