Charleston, Atigtsl 27/h, 1841.
Accordingly to otir annual custom, we
take this bpp^tdrtlty of addressing you
with our views and opinions respecting
the prospect of the growing crop of Cot.
toit; we do so in the belief that it is ex.
pected by you, and it will fail in predicting
the ruling prices of the Article
throughout the season, it will only be ad.
ding another to the many instances in
which a mistake has been made on this
abject
The stock of American and other descriptions
Of Cottox in England, on the
3d inst, was 749,000 bales (equal to seven
month consumption, working full time)
against 511,000 at the same period last
year, being an excess of 158,000 bales;
this great increase moreove^ is in the
face of a deficiency, in the imports during
' the same period, of 210,000 bales, shew.
' a falling off in the consumption far great*
?p than could have been expected by any
one, and io attributable, we think, m part
to the long continued bad state of trade
io all the maufacturiogdistricts, the limited
demand, and low prices of Goods and
Yarns, of which the stocks are large, and
the difficulties with China which still ex?*t,
by which the trade with that ^ountrv,
(one of the largest markets for Cotton
Goods) is cut off, hut principally in our
opinion to the prices of the raw material
which has ranged during the last six
month from to two cents per lb. higher
4 than at the same time last year. When
the Spinners took at least from 5,000 to
? 0,OOn hales per week more than they do
now, for we find that then notwithstanding,
we had a crop of over 2,100,000 of
hates, of which 1,800,000 was exported
to Europe; their stocks at the close of last
year was than it wi!! probably be at the
close of this; although tb^y received from
us then, about 60;),000 more than they
will get out of this crop, this result, togather
with the experience of the two
years previous, confirms us in our opinion
that the production of Cotton has less
to do with the price than the consumption
thereof, and that if the crop is ever so
large, it will be consumed if prices are
low, but if otherwise they will resort to
hort time rather than pay more than a
certain value for the article.
By the Steamer Columbia, at Boston,
? ? . ?
we have accounts f rom Liverpool to cne
3d, and from Havre to tbe 1st inst. the
. advices from the former are very unfavourable,
much more so than was anticipated.
In the two weeks previous Cotton
had declined, from an l-8i to l-4i
. per lb., and even at this reduction the
, market closed heavily; the state of trade
was represented as worse ever, and the
harvest which heretofore had promise to he
unusually food, is said to be backward,
and great fears have entertained that it
may prove an unfavorable one, the quotationa
were 4i-4d a Id per lb., or equal to
71-2 a 101-2 Cents; in Franco, and on the
Continent a better state of things existed,
The Spinners were in full operation, at
the same time prices were not much, if
wny, higher than in Kngland; the bad
weather, however, hnd|materially affected
the crops of Grain, which have an impor
tant bearing upon every branch of the
manufacturing interest.
^ It is to be hoped that these accounts are
somewhat exaggerated, and that they
have represented the condition of worse
than they really are, and that as soon as
the harvesting is over, it will prove to he
much better than was anticipated, this,
together with a revival of trade, which
we cannot but believe, will ere long ensue,
and be of permanent duration, will
give an impetus to the consumption of
Cotton, and although wo connot lead
you to expect high prices this year, still
we believe the bulk of the crop will be
freely disposed of at from 8 a 10 cents, at
which rates we are inclined to think that
it will he freely consumed, both at home
and abroad. The ftrst few hundred bales
of new crop, will probably command 11
cents for the Northern and French mar.
kets, but as it comes to market freely- it
will vary but little from what we have named.
unless the weather for the next two
months should be very unfavourable, and
an early frost produce another short crop,
in which case, as the season advances, it
may have some effect.

DURABLK RATI WAYS. *
This important desideratum in the con*
struction of Rail Roads has, at length
been attained so that not merely an "iron'
ribbed" road, but the entire superstructure
of that material may now be considered
as practicable. This improvement combines
economy, durability, and beauty,
| and is the invention of Mr. J. Spaulding
and Mr. Isherwood, practical engineers
on the NewYotkand Erie Rail Road.
Two arches, of ten feet each., of this invention
is now in use on the Ithaca and
Oswego Rail Road, half a mile west of
this village, over which the regular trains
pass every day, we understand that a
branch road from Factoryville, in this
I country, to the Pennsylvania line, four
' miles in length, is forthwith to be constructed
on this plan, and the castings ate
now being made. This invention is of
great importance. It will produce an entire
revolution in the construction of* Rail"
Roads, as it can be built cheaper than the
common mode, and its durability is beyond
computation. It will open a new
market for the immense beds of ore with
which our country abounds, and obviate
the necessity, now unavoidable, of depending
upon England for rails. All
who have examined the piece in operation
are struck with its simplicity, beauty and
strength?its advantages are incalulable.

Indian Intelligence?Twenty.seven
Indians of Tigertail's and Aleck 's bands,
came in at Tampa a few days since, and
surrendered, having left their hostile
chiefs.
Capt. Alexander, 0lh Infantry, with a
part of his Regiment, discovered one of
Tigertail's camps, recently, in the Ho.
mascassa Hammock, and destroyed a field
of corn?the last one, so said the Indian
guide, belonging to that chief.
Lieut. Rogers, of the Dragoons, pur.
sued an Indian the other day, on horse*
back, and finding some difficulty in draw,
ing his sword, actually rode over him and
took him prisoner.
Capt. Gwinn, 8th Infantry, with his
Company, captured three of Tigertail's
warriors, a few days since, and sent them
to Tampa. He was, by last accounts, in
pursuit of a large party to which those
warriors belonged.
All the above are in addition to the 27
Indians already reported as coming in at
Tampa. Such a week's success, if con.
tinued, as this, will soon gather all the re.
mainder of the hostile bands still loft in
Florida.

Caution to Druggists' Wives ?By
the carelessness of a druggist's wife in
Philadelphia, a child named Francis Johnon
lost his life on Friday. The child
was taken sick, and it was deemed neces

the mother proceeded to the drug store of
Dr. Armstrong, in Sixth street above Pine,
to procure this medicine; the Doctor was
absent, and his wife, probably in the hurry
of the moment, delivered to the mother a
bottle containig Croton oil. On her return
home, this was immediately given to
the child, which expired about two hours
after. It is stated, in addition, that as soon
as the child was dead, Dr. Armstrong
(who is a Thomsonian] gnvoa certificate,
stating that the child died of culvulsions,
told the mother to (jbury it as soon as possible,
and not"to say any thing about it.1

State, and that the fields were covered to
a considerable extent. The account stag,
gered our belief; but, strange as it may
appear, it has been confirmed by the
statement of several gentleman of high
character, who have personally examined
the scene of this phenomenon. They
state that the space covered by this ex*

and about seventy five yards in width. In
addition to the information just received,
we have|been favored by Dr. Tioost, pro.

highly respectable physician of Lebanon.
We have aUo seen the specimens sent to

over which it has spread, and the regular
manner it exhibited on some green to.

of its having fallen like a shower of rain;
and it is stfeted, on the authority of some
negroes, only, to "have fallen from a small
red cloud?no other clouds visible in the
heavens at the time. It took place on
Friday last, between eleven and twelve
o'clock) about five miles northeast of Lebanon.

A Snake StoryA Mpisen sarpent"
story greater than any told since the

told by the editor of the Mills Point Herald.
Not long since* says that editor, a
neighbor of his, a farmer in the same
count)', awoke and felt a rold and slimy
body crawling over his hand, he jumped
out ofbed. The noise awoke his wife,
who likewise left her couch. On making
light, they discoverca nn immense rattlesnake
in bed measuring, after it was killed
six feet and having seven rattles. The
alarm and fright this unwelcome visitor
occasioned, of course, drove away all
idea of sleep for the balance of the night.
As soon as daylight dawned the farmer
opened the door and discovered another
lArge snake lying on the door steps?he
killed the same with the .fire tongs. He
then approached the 8tabla9 to feed his
horses, there he again saw another snake;
he pursued it saw it enter a hole near an
old stump. He immediately sent his son
for some of his neighbors. On their ar.
rival they dug down near the stump and
found * den of anakes, all coiled up to.
gether; all of which they killed. On
counting them, they found that they had
destroyed forty six rattle-snakes of all
