The Jay begins uiousfcious hotly.

Bummer. It seems as if, going out,
summer is resolved to make herself
.felt in fiery remembrances. Shudder?
ing at the prospect of-the day before
us. wc are reminded that wc have to
make ? grateful acknowledgment that
should have boen made s< vorpl days
?ago- We have had a rare gift of icc.
It Was Sunday last, we think, when
? dapper Ganymede earn? to our wig?
wam, bringing a neat little basket with'
a neat 'little napkin over it, and f'-ay-j,
lng, with a pleasant Ethiopcau smile,
betraying a doitblerow of teeth, white
.ts a shark's, and an immense territory
of white of eye, "Col. Shiver's com?
pliments, sir." . Wind, was in the'bas?
ket? Could it be a baby? What do
we want with babies in hot weufner- -
- in any weather? We wore relieved, as
the urchin added, "And* sends you
some ice.'' ".?Blessings upon Colonel
Shiver! Say we thank bim from the
bottom of our souls I" Thanks for nil
blessings that come in a lump. We
divided tiie lamp in many pro is. We
put it into various receptarles ol' food
or drink. Wu made it endure throiigh
dui the day. We ?mapped our fingers
at the sun. and kept refreshingly coed
?ii spite of the dog shir. We made
appeal to t,a; Northern Thor, from tin
verine*"-! of Sirius! We overthrow the
altars of Capricorn and Cauoler-iva
from t'a- crab. Of the former, we

Beded the Boa'-bon, and ZP-aly. Sc:di

our day by moonlight, and >i c<tj>i:e titi

fancies, untroubled by a musquito.
Ice is a warmer; iee isa charmer; icc
is, doubtless, of all care a disarm ar. !
Percival, the moody poet, who wrote
a thousand love verses, yet never
ventured to say love to any woman,
sine's -disconsolately of a "lum]) of
ice in the eleni" cold moon." Wi
prefer a lump of ice in a good
large spoon. He compares t oo afore
?aid lump of ic ' in the moon to
"a smiling eye and a bro lan hear!."
What- nonsense! Ice the simihtr.de
ol' a broken heart. -Fiddlesticks! Iee
is significant of a healthy stomach,
and a healthy stomach is the best sign
of a sound heart and au honest con?
science. Tile true seat of the affec?
tions is in the stomach, not the li en rt.
Whoever takes cares pf tho formel
may bc always sure of the integrity o!
the latter. It deals in the solids. ' Il

iceberg, it derives u< w life from its
grateful admixture with sundry of our
creature comforts. (Ince, more-our
thanks to Col. Shiver; and win n lie

still to share. Bat talking of ice re?
minds us .of a secret for keeping it
from wast;.--a most important secret
when the quantity is small and the
weather hot as tho innermost cavi?
ties of Vesuvius and Stromboli.
A brother editor tells us that to
keep iee f >;n melting you have
only to olaco your lump, big fir.little,

no doubt, surmising that the. corney
contained a large amount of specif

I harrassod their march, and skirniish

J continued men- or less pu the way.

; by the eu any in force, itumboring * it !U
men, who made several vehement
charges on that 'part #f -the brigade
covering. tho convoy, The badi ts,
were, however, ftioodily repulsed.
Finding all their efl orts to capture tho
the convoy fruitless, the rage of the
bandits became indescribable; ?iud
having succeeded in rally i uga part ol'
I tiv scattered forces, uumViering about
UKI men, one of the leaders made
another desperate dash on the train,
i which again proved a failure, the
j bandits laing this time more severely
j punished tuan before. After this last
attack, the '.'orces of Cortinas became
terrified, and being seized by a panic,
they broke ranks and lied i:i all direc?
tions, endeavouring if possible to save
themselves from being captured, The
loss o?' Cortinas in his several charges
was.not less ih:in 10!). Those of the
bandits who fell into the hands of oar
troops alive wire indiscriminately
shot. The loss of tho Imperial force?
? during the whole < >'.' this t i me was only

slightly. None were killed. Lieut,

I'rom Uie various* accounts ci the
quantity of cotton in diff erent.parts of
the country, we make tho following
extracts:
The Herald's correspondent, who hus
lately been through Northern Al?ba?
lo-, states that that region is almost
one continuous held of'-cotton. The
planters have ^jyen their attention to
tho business appin this year almost a;;
much as in anti-rebeliion, und thc
I growing crop looks very hue. Tho
negroes are working tor their boviner
masters for wages, and the new labor
systen\ appears to progress very well
COTTON EN TEXAS.
From a recent letter from a promi?
nent and \v? ll informed house in Gal
veston, Texas, we are permitted
take the annexed facts. Tho writers
estimate the stock ol' cotton now on
ha* ii in Tesas at 70,000 bales, oxda
sive of that bordering on li'jdxiivb'
and tributary to Now Gr-oiui'j. ' .theil
figures are as follows: Stock Septem?

Exports direct, y>,U0U; through Meri
l o, i f H 1,000; home consumption, 20,
000; damaged, 50,000; total, 2?u,000.
Of th/s growing crops- they s?,y, about
three-fourths of an average i..-v: been
planted*, which would give lSU.OOO tc
2ul),000 bales. The total, theieforc,
weean expect from-Texas, both of tuc
.old and new crops, is 270,000 baie.-;.
Thia is exclusive of what rutches th?
market by way of lied River. Ali uc?
