Morgan is ittcommand with several companies of tlie regiment. * j Col. Atkinson's regiment, 6th in ?fanley, is at Kelle-Kontaine, and we believe is only delayed by the non rrival of some of the steam boats, and the time consumed in the repack ing provisions. Col.

In passing tlte' Inde ndence and St. Louis, then at an chor before tHe town, she was salu ted by these vessels. A description of this beautiftil lit tle boat has been given to the nnblic. We remark, however, some further particulars which deserve to be no ticed. The kor of the vessel ex hibits tlVfc form of a huge serpent, black ami scaly, rising out of the; water from wider the Iwat, his liead as high as the deck, darted forvflllrd, his mouth open, vomiting gfQoke, and apparently carrying the boat on his back. From under the I mat, at its stern, issues a steam of foaming j water, dashing violently Along. All the machinery is hid. Three small brass field piecqy}, mounted on wheel carnages, stand on the deck. The t is ascending theYapid stream at the rate of three miles an hour.? Neither wind or human hands are seen to help her; Ami* to the eye of ignorance, the illusion is complete,^ that a monster of the deep carries' her on his back, smoking with fati , andlashing the waves with vio nt exertion. Her equipment is at once calctila ed to attract and to awe the savage. Objects pleasing and terrifying are at once before ni?^?artillery; the flag of the republic; portraits-of-a white man ana an Indian shaking hands; the calumet of peace; a sword; then.the apparent monster with a painted vessel on his back, the sides gaping with port holes, and bristling with guns. Taken al together, and without intelligence of her composition and design, it wotdd require a daring savage to approach and accost^ier with Hamlet's sj>eech.?

He trust this shocking event will put an end to the jiresent unwarrantable custom, in a civilized country, of youths carryir^ about 4hem concealed weapons of this kind! J\Teu$e Riwr.~'Mr. Fulton, State Kngineer, with his assistant^ Mr. Brazier, accompanied by some of the Directors of Hie Navigation Com pany * went down Neuse River on Friday last.

REPORT. The Committee appointed by the Agricultural Society to exmine into, and report upon the expediency of recommending to the Cotton Planters of this State a change in the culture of Cotton, proposed to the Society by one of its members, Menj. Sea brook, Esq.; viz. That of turn ing down -the Cotton in the end of the mohth of October, (he thiuks about the 80th, probably the best time) with the view, 1st, to prevent the late Pods from beiflg stained by frost v &l* to make Pods arrive at a greater state of matririty, open fast er ; 3d, to increase the quantity and improve the quality of the Cotton; and 4th> to diminish the lal>or of harvesting, Report: That they fyve examined a sample of Sea-Island Cotton, of a fine quality, and color, which was gathered from1 plants raised in a garden in this city, and turned down late in October last, while in a foil state of vegetatiou;. that they have also examined some Pods taken from the same plant, about the last of December; these pods lure small in size and must have faen very yotihjg wjjen the ttfees were turned down; thfc Cotton is free from stain, and, in the ouinioti of your committee, uninjured by frost or weather. Your Committee have deemed it |>roper to avoid all theory upott; the subject, and to confine themselves to a statement of the re sult of llie only experiment that has been made, which, in their opinion, has been tuch as to afford a we 11 - grounded hope, that this plan of turning down Cotfon will answer all the purposes above stated, and be highly beneficial to Planters general ly; and they, therefore, strongly re commend further experiments, at different periods, ahd on a more ex tended scale; and they also recom mend to thole who may be disposed to make experiments, that particular attention be given to the time of turn- * ing down the Cotton, and its growth * and forwardness as to bearing; to the quantity of Cotton which has been gathered before it was turned down, and . to tliat which has bee^ gathered afterwards.
