The Review at McCaw'a.

Field, on KutimJiiy Inst. The day was pleasant. !
the nireool and hrm-in?, and to us the ride in the 1

was mantled with the first flush of the vernal
I yeur; and we drew insfiralion from the clear
ekies, the waving forests*, ami the bright water*;
the music of the groves, the ver.lure of the
fields, and the perfume of the flower*. For
once, at least, we inust confess that our devotions
to Ma its, were performed with *ome alacrity.
The Batialion was commanded hj* Mnj. Cunningham,
and reviewed by Col. Harper and
Staff. At an early hour, the line was formed
by the Adjutant, J. G. Willson, and after the
..f - '

speech, in which lie gare notice of Ins intention
to resign. Tlicre was a good attendance
of Spectators on tlic occasion, and tlie
company dispersed at an early hour.

The number of locoruotive? in os? umm

of wood is 600.000 cords to supply

Tho Cotton Culture of Algeria.
From tlie following extract from u recent
letter of the intelligent Pari* correspondent of tl
the Journal of Commcrcr, it w->iild seem that '
the Southern planter has hut little to f.-ur from J'
the culture of French cnttnn in Algeria : r.
Yesterday'a Moniteur contain* the Hiitmnl el
report of the Minister of War on the progress j e

iM-ally unfavorable to the growth; nevrrlhe- e
less, the crop <I i' 1 not fall pliurl- of nil average. h
In the province <?f Algiers, the culture of to- n
hatred supersedes the eoitou more and more p
: ii< 1 iilwil'lij> laud, capital, mi l labor. The col- ' a
iillists ill the other provinces iiimifine ti? he cx ll
ircedingly profitable ami are therefore now j>
nvcrsv to cotton. The Marshal expects a reae t<
ti*>ii in (1 iiu time, towards the latter. 'Hie niuu w

Some recruits may he counted. The process of il
