I The King of Sweden has created M. M. Schonbein and Bottigciy the inventors of gun cotton, Knights of the Order of Vasa.

Duplin, July 17.?The green crops, so extensively sown, arc in a most flourishing state. With regard to potatoes the accounts arc not at all favorable. Whilst the general crop is still unaffected, there are further well authenticated statements of the existence of a disease similar to that of the two preceding years, and occurring in variousparts of the country about the same time. vi The Corlc Examiner, which devotes much attention to this subject, contains the following resume of the intelligence from that country : . " We have received accounts from all . parts of this country, as well as from other countries, and from various gentlemen; and we can assert that the general state of - the crop is that of the greatest promise ancj luxuriance. It is true that in some places, somo few ridges or beds have beeq blasted, that is, the leave and stalks have been fiYirivollo/1 fin nnrl ' Knf Una w?4? a ? v?*up uauvnvuvu j vub kuio IIUO been attributed, by experienced farmers, to . Intensely hot sun in the day time, and cold . dews at night.; as well as to certain elec trie agencies natural to the atmosphere at j this particlar season of tho year. But of tfce disease, we are enabled to state that in ^y'/r; / very few instances has it made it appear\ ,.^'iance; and where it has appeared, it is con/ firW/.o spots high up on the italic; a mat. .itlle consequence jo the early planted potato, for the potato Vill be fully ripe befpre the disease can reach the tubfcr. Ti ail cases, whether of blast or disease, the potato, when dug now, is found to be healthy and large. We, have asserted that the ge-. : xieral condition ot loo crop is promising in the extreme. Tiie London Peace Society have addressed a communication to President'Polk, and another to,Santa Anna, entreating them to bring to an' immediate close the present war.

They stated that their company had arrived at Turky's Lake, on the east side of the mountains, and found the snow so deep that they could not travel. Fearing starvation, j sixteen of the strongest, (eleven males and | five females,) agreed to start for the settle ment on foot. After wandering about a number of days, bewildered, their provisions gave out. Long hunger made it necessary to cast lots to see who should be sacrificed, to make food for the rest, but at this time the weaker began to die, which rendered the taking of life unnecessary. As they died, the company went into camp and made meat of the dead bodies of their companions. Nin 3ofthe men died and several were eaten. !

The company left be; hind numbered GO souls, ten of them men, j the rest women and children. They were ! in camp about 100 miles from Johnson's, j Revolting as it may seem, it is stated that, j one of the women was abliged to ent part of i the dead body of her father and brother, and | another saw her husband's heart cooked ! I Tun Purchase of "Cun.v.?The New : York Sun again alludes to this subject, anil says: | We wish it distinctly understood that in i our advocacy of the purchase of Cuba, we do it with the best feeling toward the Spa, nish Governnient, between which and the United States there has ever been the most friendly understanding. We have proposed j the purchase from a sinccre conviction that c _ r.:_ 10 Willing IU jiai L M ILll VjUUH IU1 i I 1UII consideration and from a personalknowledge ; that the purchase and aunexation of that I Island by the United Sta'.es, are earnestly desired by the great mass of its inhabitants, j We would purchase it as we did Louisiana, with only this difference?the purchase money is not asked from the National Troa: sur}-, but lies ready in the hands of the Cubans the moment the bargain is made. We believe Spain is anxious to sell, for the disaffection of the Islanders to their present masters is every day increasing, and promises eventually to end in a revolution which must dispossess Spain of the Island unless she wisely disposes of it while there is a ..1 '111... -1-. - - ? uutunc. i n? \_/Uu;iiis arts ueiernnneu on freedom, either by purchase or force." Vicksburg. (Mi.) July 27. Army Worm.?Our friend, Mr. Edmond i Whaley, showed us yesterday a specimen | of a reptile which has made its appearance in the cotton, and is committing alarming ravages. It wa? sent by one of his correspondents from Madison county, and he writes that it is there in some parts sweeping everv ffreen thino*. bolls, leaves and t? 1/ CJ O / buds from the fields. The worm showed us was not the army worm of last season, and is not a catter pillar?or at least does not hang by a web when shaken off the leaf, as catterpillars do. It seems a genuine cut-worm, of some of the grasshopper tribe, though to first view, it very much resembles the army worm. Whether army worm or not however, it eats cotton, as we had occulai demonstration, and if it comes in any numbers will perhaps do as much' damage by one name as another. The destruction will be immense if-this early and in the state the recent rains have left the cotton plant, its great enemy now, appears upon it.?Scntinel. ^ A New State.?Somo of the citizens of Brooklyn, which has a population of nearly 70,000"inhabitants", are in favor of making Long Island a State, with their city at the capital. Trade with China.?A house in New York has just purchased $200,000 worth of cotton drills from the manufacturers in Massachusetts,to send out by the Sea Witch, which is to sail again in a few days for China. Great Snake.?The Clermont county, Ohio, people are . draining a mill pond on the east fork of the Littkv Miami, for the - purpose of getting at a monstrous snake, some 25 or 30 feet nf whnsA Ip.noih has bann seen/by six or seven persons. Sbasonble Hint.?A New Errgland journal suggests to clergymen the propriety of short sermons in hot weather. TnE Pittsburg Gazatte mentions a hard case?that of a lady who recently came from the old world, in search of her husband, and found him in this country married to another woman. Lead.?We see it stated that there is an amount oflead now lying on the wharves at Galena Illinois, to the va|ue of twelve million* of dollars. \ f Some idflft may be imagined of our Western Grain, when an Oswego paper states there is building at that place & warehouse to contain 300.000 bushels of grain, 6r over 100,000 l&hrels of flour.
