How JOHN BRowN SAVED THE Car
IrAL.-The Washington correspondent of
the Boston journal tells the following sin
gular story, of the way in which John
Browns lawless raid into Virginia became
the remote cause of the salvation Of the
federal capital -
When the marines dashed up to the
door of the engine house, where Virginia
cbivalry quailed, they seized not only John
Brown, but quantity of powder within the
building, which he had brought from Penn
sylvania. After Brown and his party were
secured, the powder was placed in one of
the brick buildings, where it remained till
April last. When the United States troops
found that the Virginia forces were pre-
pairing to make descent upon the ferry
for the purpose Of capturing the arms they
looked about for ammunition. They did
not dare TO visit the magazine, for there
were sharp eyes which watched every
movement, and an a,,emp to take powder
from there would preciPiaie an attack
Then il was that John Browns powder was
valuable. II was in small packages, and
where it could be taken and Distributed un-
beknown to any outsiders. It was placed
in The different buildings, the trains were
laid, and just as the Virginians thoaghi the
prize was theirs, they found that the flames
were ahead Of them. 1t was designed that
the several thousand stand of arms there
stored should be distributed in Baltimore.
where, as you know. the outbreak immedia-
tely occurred, and that THENCE descent
would be made upon Washington. So John
Browns powder saved the eariial. All Of

The World Of Friday has the following in
reference to still another Naval Expedition,
now fitting out st New York.
The last of the naval expeditions, so far aa
we are ct present advised, will coon hsve
left New York. We sllude to Captain Por-
teF's mortar feet comprising tHenty-six
vessels, each carrying fifteen OF thirteen
inch mortars, and armed, in addition, with
one or two Of the largest caliber OF the rife
guns. This feet is to be divided into three
divisions, each it is surmised, fo= diSerent
destinatiOn. Two of these vessels have al
ready sailed, and they will all have cleared
this barbor before the end of another week.
They viii be heard from in due tine. Erics-
sons iron clad battery will be in working
trim BY the lst of February, and in addition
to the one nearly completed at Philadelphia,
viii test It's capacities on one o. the most
formidable Of the Southern forts.

We have been shown, by Mr.. W. L. Barnes,
Of New York, who has probably paid as
much attention to the cotton culture as any
q man In the country not directly engaged in
raising it at the South, some specimens Of
Illinois cotton, which was raised last year in
that State, and which ranks superior TO the
best Of the New Orleans grade of that fibre
As b known 70 most Of our readers, the sea-
islsaa ~-@s--s -.ah a. IA saia.1 E-OTT hoyeI
snd other Of the low islands along the At.
lsntic coast Of the Southern States, holds the
highest rank and commands the highest price
Ehs next grade q that known as the New
Orleans grade, which is raised in the valley
Of the Mississippi. After this comes tae
middle and upland grades The sea-islAnd
eottOn win not thrive away from the peculiar
climate and soil Of the coast. The eondi-
fionsof the climate and soil Of lower illinois,
koWsVsE, correspond 30 nearly with those of
tbe lower MissiEsippi, that the cotton pro-
duct ls not whit behind that Of the latter
locality. The soil Of the valley Of The Mis-.
sissippi Is made up Of the residuum brought
down By the waters Of that river and its tri-
butsrisa Through the States of Tennessee,
Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana, this
valley iB comparatively narrow, being bound
ed By high ranges Of hills belonging To- the
Alieghauian system. Tbs range of elevation
at which cotton viii flourish i very limited,
snd consequently the range Of territory in
thoss Statel, capable of producing good cot
t0n, q likewise limited The whole Of South
ern Illinois, however, is low, level, and Of
light loamy soil, in which the long and slen-
der roots Of the cotton plant End room to
ezle1d, and nourishment to sustain them,
while the atmosphere contains the humidity
essential to growth Of the plant. The con.
ditious are therefore favorable, and the only
question which viii decide the amount Of
cotton 70 be raised in these new Helds, isthat
Of labor. If the requisite amount Of suita-
be laborers can be supplied to cultivate
than, the broad acres Of Illinois may yet
PEOduce immense quantities Of excellent cot
ton for home use and for expectation. How
to provide this labor is question discussed

In the Ohio Senate, few days since, Gen.
Bisrce, ofSummiL introduced q resolution
which Is Of great interest and value 10 every
soldier, and to every soldiers family. It
was that the Militia Committee consider the
expsdiency Of appointing special agent TO
accompany each one Of the Ohio regiments
In service, 70 look after the sick and wound
q, carefully deliver to the soldiers whatever
is sent to them from home, and take charge
Of whatever savings the soldiers may be able
10 ssnd home 70 their families. We are
aware that Congress has directed that three
Commissioners from each State having troops
In the feld, shall be appointed to distribute
the allotuents made by the soldiers to their
families, but Gen. Bierce's resolution does
not intsrfsrs at all with that provision. The
three Commissioners cannot pay that at-
tsntion 10 the many regiments which are in
ths hsld from Ohio, which their wants re-
Quire. In the smaller States, which have
bat six, eight or even twenty regiments in
service, the three Commissioners can much
more nearly care for all the soldiers, than
hey can In Ohio, where there are more than
sigkty regiments either in service or form
ing. Early in the year Gov. Morton of In.
diana appointed an agent to go with each
regiment from that State attend to their
wants aud execute their commissions to the
loved and dependant ones ct home. The re
salt nas been that the Indiana troops have
been well clothed, their sick well cared for
and thousands of dollars saved to the State
in securing the prompt delivery Of uni Ormsi
&C., sent to the soldisTs-besides the large
amounts sent to the families Of volunteers
through these sgents. Let a competent
active, energetic and thoroughly honest mar
be appointed to accompany each Ohio regi
msnt, and the hearts OF many a soldiers
wis and family would rejoice at the incFeas-
ed remittsnees from camp, while the soldier
himself would feel an assurance that if sick
as8 OF wounds disabled him, he would b
under the special care of one whose duty ii
was to be the faithful friend of every man il
the regiment.
Gen. Biercs is an old soldier himself and
locks to the interest both Of the state and
States defenders in this movement ",
trust that his suggestions viii be sPeedil!

sayE
The movement Of Gen. jackson toward
Romney and ths Northwest has at length
taken place, and It Is no imprudence TO write
e. Il Bas pEoieetad and The column organ
lied two months ago, bot delayed until late
ly BY that dolusion which prevailed With the
Government ana the people OF the South,
that the enemy were to make q general ad-
vance Of their troops, and risk great battle
this winter. UFfE
Hence, the troops under Jackson were
placed nt Winchester, where they could be
conveniently used either In an engagement
With Gen. MeOlallan or on the original az.
Rresaivs intention. Time having exploded
the notion of a decisive battle at Manassas
during this winter, Gen. Jackson has thus
late commenced his operations. While We
do not choose TO refer TO them further than
to state that they are aggressive, we cannot
help noticing that fact. While the people o.
the South have submitted in silence 70 tn,
defensive policy of the Government, it is GER
tain that the majority Of the thinking peopl'
have been opposed to It.
