500, 900 Bales Of Cotton.
The receiDts in this port 10

The receipts In this port (Of
cott0n) since the first of Sep
TENDER, 1853, have reached the |
above respectable figures. This
is within 10000 bales of the
last seasons receipt. The cry
is still "they come," though we
perceive a slight decline in the
receipts for the last two weeks.
At present rates these 100000
bales of cotton ought to pro-
dnce more money than a mill
ion of bales before the war. As
suming that it is half, or more
than half the total receipts for
the season, the sum total Of the
whole years crop, we still be-
lieve, will exceed that of any
previous season since the intro
duction of cotton culture in
this country. What renders
this result the more remarka-
BILE is the comparatively small
breadth of land in the South
which has been in cultivation,
and the exceedingly embarras-
ing circumstances under which
our planters have had to work.
One travelling through the
country would be amazed to see
what a vast amount of most
productive land, adapted to
sugar, cotton and tobacco, is
untitled, and left to grow trees
and weeds. If with so partial
a culture, conducted without
capital and with so many
drawbacks, the South is ena-
bled to produce one single arti-
Gle Of the eXportable value of
two hundred millions of dollars,
: what limit can be placed to the
resources and wealth of this
section when they are fully de-
yeloped, and the population is
Increased SO as to meet and
supply the demand for pro-
per cultivation? Causes which
\ have heretofore impeded and
discouraged the influx of a new
population are rapidly disap-
pearing. Political jealousies
and passions are subsiding, and
the era of good feeling, of
peaceful commerce and indus
try begins to dawn. 1t is only
needful for the Southern peo-
pie to practice patience and
; moderation.
Let them, toe, profit by their
recent experience, keep out of
the whirlpool of politics and
avoid all entangling alliances

Harper for June leads on with an
exceedingly interesting paper on Auro-
rA Borealis, by Prof. Loomis OF Yale
College, designed to show that the phe-
nomenon IS the result OF electrical ac-
lion In the higher or rArer regions of the
atmosphere. Two or three paragraphs
will give an idea of the Professors the
DRY, which is supported by very clear
and elaborate deteil and reasoning:
Auroral exhibitions take place in the
upper regions of the atmosphere, since
they partake of the earth's rotation.
All the celestial bodies have an appa-
rent motion from east to west. arising
from the rotation of the earth; but bod
les belonging TO the earth, including the
atmosphere and the clouds which float
in it. Partake of the earth's rotation. SO
that :neir relative position is not affect:
ell by 1t. The Same Is true OF aurOFAl
exhibitions. Whenever an aUrOFal
corona is formed, i: maintains sensibly
the same position in the heavens during
the whole period OF its continuance,
although the stars meanwhile revolve
at the rate OF Is degrees per hour.
The grosser part OF the earlh's Htrlcs~
phere ia limited to moderate distance
from the EARTH. AT the height OF lit
tie over four miles, the density of the
air is only one-half what It is at the
earth's surface. At the height OF so
miles the atmosphere is well-nigh inap-
preCiable in its effect upon twilight.
The phenomena of lunar eclipseS lndi-
cate an appreciable atmosphere at the
height of &C miles. Tho phenomena @,
shooting stars indicate an atmosphere
at the height of 200 or 800 miles, while
the aurora indicates that the atnos-
phere does not entirely cease at tht
height of 500 miles. AurOral exhibit
lions take place, therefore, in an atmos
phere of extreme rarity; SC rare indeed
that if, in experiments with an air
pump, we could exhaust the air as
completely, We should cay that we hac
obtained u perfect vacuum.
The aurOral beams are simply spaces
which are illuminated by the flow o.
electricity through the upper regions Of
the atmosphere. During the Huroras
of 1859 these beams were nearly five
hundred miles in length, and their low
er extremities were elevated about Il

Our readers will remember the bru-
tai proclamation which Valensada,
General OF the Spanish troops in Cuba
Issued some weeks ago. The Spaninrds
now attempt to show that this prccla-
nation was in retaliation for one of
Cespedes issued over month before.
This document Is said to have ordered
that every prisoner who has voluns
tarily fought against the revolution
shall! be executed, but soldiers Of the
regular army may expect clemency &C
c0rding to the circumstances; the pro-
perty of the enemies OF the Republic
will be confiscated for the benefit of the
republic. No neutrality will be re-
cognized; all persons will be consider
ed friends ana enemies, with the ex-
ception of foreigners who have been
neutral since the beginning of the re-
Voluti0n; those who have voluntarily
done the Spanish Government or lis
officials any service will be executed
irrespective OF PERSONS.
But now a brighter future begins to
dawn upon the patriots struggling for
independence.

that their appointment seems to meet
with hearty appreciation. tor the work
