A New SYsTEM.-Four large cotton
warehouses are being built near New
York for the coming cotton crop. They
are ranged along the river front, and
Will be connected with the docks by
the railroad tracks. The buildings are
OF brick, and the space between the
warehouses can be so arranged that the
cotton can be repacked and rebaied
under glass roofs In all weathers. The
storage capacity of each of the four
warehouses now in course of oonstruo.
tion is about Is. 900 bales. and it il ex.
pected that the buildings can all be
ready in time for the new orop-about
October. There Is also room for the
eredtioh OF additional structures, with
acapacity Of over $50, 900 bales. The
transportation to, and from the city
can be accomplished by lighters, and
vessels can load their cargoes at the
docks, thereby saving the expense of
carriage from the presses to the ship.
Mapy OF the pr sent store-houses are

The statement published, yesterday,
relative to the attempted robbery of
Mrs. Shull, of Lexington, wsa lncor-
rect. She was on her way home from
Gilbert Hollow alone, on Saturday,
when the stirrup-leather broke and she
slipped to the ground. Perceiving a
stump short distance of, she was
proceedings towards it, to remount her
horse, when a negro man sprang out
OF the bushes, and, after struggle,
succeeded in outragiDg her. He then
asked her If she intended to tell on
him, and when she replied that she
did, he attacked her with lightwood.
knots aud beat her terribly. A white
man came up while lie was engaged in
his murderous work. when the fiend ran
oil; but as ho is known, and number
OF men are in pursuit Of him, he will
likely be overhauled. Crimes OF this
nature are becoming SO frequent in
different parts Of the country, that
short work should be made of the
scoundsels when caught.
LYScHED. Henry Glover, the co.
lored brute who outraged Mrs. Shull,
near Gilbert Hollow, on Saturday last,
was caught. yesterday, in the swamp
adjacent to that village, and shot.

MATTERS AND THINGS IN ST.
CROIX.

Under the above heading, Mr.. e.. A. Hage-
mann, Oand. polyt., Manager Of the Sugar
Factory at Odense, and prominent 10 several
industrial enterprises in Denmark, has written
two long articles in the Dagblad. 1t matters
little whether We can agree with the author in
all his assertions and conclusions or not, which
those who are accustomed to read this paper
will perceive we do not. In the main we fully
agree with him. The chief thing is, as he says
at the close of the second article, "that a way
is opened to save St, Croix from that ruin
which it undoubtedly is approaching moro and
more every day. The object is to get all con-
cerned interested in the matter" SHOULD not
Denmark" the author asks, (Which has been
able to ~encircle the earth with Geographic
cipating in one great foreign loan after another,
should that Denmark not have 3 millions of
RixdOllars to place in an enterprise which, &C.
cording to all human calculation, would Weld a
very good interest, and which would rescue a
Danish island from destruction 2" "The an.
swer," he says, "would not appear to be doubt
full, when the question is put by the righs
man." and that this may be done, is the wish
with which he concludes his reflections. 1t is
to be sincerely hoped that this wish will be ao-
COmPlishod, and thus this beautiful island saved
fromghe ruin now staring people in the face,
and for which ''tbe Danish government has a
great moral responsibility" indeed. We give
a translation of the first article to-day, and will
reserve the second for our next issue.

In olden times st. CrOix was looked upon ia
Denmark as an earthly paradise, and a st.
Oroix planter was compared to an Indian
nabob, as a man who could lead and did lead
q life Of ease and plenty. At that time the in
terests for our Westindia Possessions, notably
for St. Oroix, were lively, and the connections
with it many. Now things are quite different.
You cannot now take a newspaper from st.
CrOix in your hands, nor read a letter from
there, without meeting complaints of the unfor-
tunate times and preslges Of the total ruin of
the island, and at the same time the interest
for st. OrOix, especially since the unsuccessful
attempt at selling the islands, has become small
Ter aud smaller, so that we now hardly o0nsid-
er the complaints reaching US from there as a
thing in which we are concerned in any other
manner than we would be with the
importunate solicitations of a troublesome
beggar, from which we purchase exemp-
ton by now and again giving a direct
or indirect pecuniary subsidy. Whilst
the principal stream of our physical and intellec-
tual force goes to America, and large Danish
capitals are employed in foreign enterprises,
We rather Withdraw our contributions in both
directions from St. Croix. And yet that is
