section ot the british association on monday tbe 28th ult a paper was read by prof itbyle on the imports of indian as compared with the prices of american cotton he stated that the experiments in the north west of india had failed from the excess ive dryness of the season during which they had been made ; but he still thought that cotton might be successively cultiva ted in bundlecund and with aid of irrig ation in the ganges and jumna doab as in the similar climate of egypt when the great canal now making i.s completed in the peninsula of india on the contrary the success has been considerable in tin nivelly mr huges long cultivated bear bon cotton ; and mr finnic is now estab lished there from 500 to 1000 lbs of seed cotton have been obtained from the xew orleans seed imported in 1810 this he thinks can be landed at liverpool cos ting about 3 l-2d a lb as the expences of conveyance from combatone to cochin are not more than one l-4d per lb and must be less from tinniv-elly to tuticorn he slates that the ryots only want •• pur chasers and honest prices and that a rise of only 1-4 per lb in the local market would greatly extend the culture of cot ton lt is an important fact that the a bove cotton sent to livetpool to the ex i tent of 31 bales has been valued at ofd a lb and considered equal to fair new orleans which was selling at the same price in the southern mahratta country es pecially near dharwar the culture has attained complete success under mr mer cer the intelligent american planter the natives encouraged by the govern ment experiments where they saw that not only was more cotton produced per acre with new orleans seed but a better price obtained for every pound of cotton wool even from the weavers in tne inte rior extended their cultivation last year to about 30,000 acres and have succeeded in cleaning this cotton by the improved saw gin ; so that some of the former year's crop to the extent of 1g2 bales has been valued at liverpool at gd and 6^d here the climate is considered by mr mercer to be like that of america and the seed he found returning to its original mexican , character i ie also states that there is an abundance of land fitted for cotton cul ture which pays from 8 to 14 annas per acre and nothing is required but a regu lar demand to have the country covered with cotton the ryots sell iheir own cotton for 40 rupees a candy of 781 li whicli is about 1 1 d a lb their new orleans cotton they have sold for 5(5 ru pees the candy ; a further expense of 10 rupees was incurred in conveying it bv land and water to bombay making a to tal of s2 rupees 207 bales of this cotton were sold at bombay on the 26th of march last for 113 rupees per candy and some for 129 rupees at the same time that same cotton from broach cotton cultivated and cleansed in the same manner sold for 125 rupees ; and 42 bales grown by mr blount at julgaum for 132 rupees dr rayle concluded his observations by expressing his opinion that as the c-j , tivation in the west and in central fm|ja was skillfully conducted by th*y^a,jves | the cotton a good quantity aefl ie ' jce moderate it required only tj investm%nt of capital by those inte.'estrd in he im

vast importance of promptly acting on the matter the public expect the cotn misioners to go ahead with the survey we deprecate all improper haste but think any un necessary delay almost criminal the

meeting in salis ■bur on the subject of columbia and charlotte rail road we mourn over this diversion of , western carolina trade to build up south car olina market towns would that we had the i power to do so by affording facilities to our peo pie to reach our own market on the cape fear we would arrest this drain and bring back the trade while we mourn over the prospect vet we cannot wonder that our western friends are up and doing all they can tor the development of the resource of their part of the country these things speak forcibly to the citizens of fayetteville to act — act promptly act wise ly we hope our western friends will calculate the final results may not rival routes yet spring up the " metropolitan road under way may not wilmington and fayetteville yet contend for the western trade with our south carolina and virginia neighbors — fay ob metropilitan rail road a friend suggests to us that it this road goes to or near cheraw it might greatly sub serve the interest of the proposed charlotte road ; for instead of going to columbia 100 miles it could reach the metropolitan road in about 55 miles then only think of the prof its of that part of the road which would em brace the great travel north and south this is worthy of consideration as it is doubtful whether a mere produce road can make a divident and then the planter could avail himselt e'nhei of the market

showers or hear of lightning striking as long as we have telegraph wires spread over the earth could not i should sup pose be entertained by any one who re flects how small a proportion such struc tures of art bear in extent to the grand operations of nature although a line of telegraph wires sometimes undoubtedly facilitates the passage of electricity from the clouds to the earth not by attracting the fluid but by diminishing the resistance ahvawyexperienced by electricity in pass ing through the air yet nothing to me more improbable than that structures so limited in extent as these are and always must be compared with the dimensions of the whole atmosphere should to any great degree prevent the accumulation ol electricity in thunder storms one opin ion however which 1 publicly expressed through the medium of this paper a year or two since may be worth repeating namely that on account of the tendency of a thundercloud which approaches near to a line of wires to discharge its electri city through that channel care ought to be taken when the poles give war-ftm<to the approach of a thunder clo'jj io some part ofthe line to complejt^t{ie conduct ing communication vyj'nthe

received a mail from the army of gen taylor the american nag ofthe 21th ultimo contains not a word of any interest here passengers from matamoros who came over on the washington tell us that the day they left that city news was received there by mexican merchants that gen scott had had an action with the mexi cans at rio frio and defeated them total ly with a loss on his part of three hun dred men this news the bee says was read at the head of the troops at mata moros we presume this was done on the 20th — the day before the washington left the brazos if gen scott entered mexico on the 17th ult this would give nine days for the news to have reached matamoros — a distance of nearly 250 leagues by the way of san luis potosi and the tula pass the time is amply sutiicient for the transmission of the news but we have dates to the 20th from tam pico also which is several hundred miles nearer the capital and yet not a word ol gen scott's victory furthermore our coi respondent at mon terey writing on the 1 3th says they had then received a rumor there that general scott had defeated a very large force un der santa anna near the city of mexico this was a mexican rumor and very pos sibly was as authentic as the one which reached matamoros a few days later we annex the latest letter we have re ceived trom monterey special correspondence ofthe picayune monterey mexico july 13 1817 the day we started for mamalequi ra ther an interesting incident occurred at gen taylor's camp a mexican lady re siding in monterey drove up to the gener al's tent accompanied by three young children two girls ami a boy and solici ted advice from hini.l she stated that she was extremely anxiols that her children should be properly aftj thoroughly educa ted at some good iapitution in the i nited states and partiqmu-ly that they should be taught the english language and she was desirous of taking them herself to the united states for that purpose bu being totally unacquainted there wished the ad vice ol some competent person as to what course she should pursue the general gave her good advice and promised her conveyance and escort to the brazos bv the next train that goes down i understand that a mexican robber was brought info tie taylor's camp last night by two mexicans bound in some thing more substantial than " slumber's chains as a matter of course he will be turned over to the mexican authorities unless they have evidence that he has committed some offence against our peo ple intelligence was received here a few days since from san luis via saltillo that gen scott had met a very large force under santa anna near the city of mexi co and defeated them from texas by the arrival of the steamship yacht capt crane from galveston we are in possession of papers of ihat place to the 31st ult i the u s steamer gov yell which touched at galveston about three weeks since on her way from this city to brazos santiago was wrecked on aransas bar iu the night ofthe 13th ultimo a letter irom a person on board the gazette says states that after having put into matagor da bay wuh a loss of chimneys c to pair she left that poft on the 13th lhe day was line but a heavy sea was rolling to such a degree as to'cause the vessel to labor and leak badly la the evening it was impossible to keep up steam but making aransas bar at sun set the captain attempted to run in the breakers ran high and extended entirely across the channel so that she missed the pass and struck in three feet water where the sea broke over her all night those on board remained with the wreck all night wilh ropes in hand ready to lash themselves to parts of the wreck in case she should go to pieces she however held together until daylight when the people threw overboard their baggage the greater part of which was driven a shore by the waves and by noon all had gained the beach in one way or another the boat is a total wreck • the indians it appear arc commencing their depredations

robert hays surveyor a from that m ighboi who brings iuioi ma i ut the 4th or 5th inst four of his party were miss ing lt seems ihat they had started to run a line to a certain point at which mr 1 1 intended to meet them by another route mr ii proceeded to the point intended ami after waiting a considerable time longer than was sufficient for the party to reach him became impatient and started to meet ihem he fell on their trail found it had been traversed by horses found the hats of some of his party but nothing of the men it is feared that they have ei ther been killed or taken prisoners by the indians as the latter have appeared to be dissatislied for some time past on account of not receiving certain presents promised them by the german agents up to the date ofthe last advices from austin nothing had been heard ofthe miss ing surveyors we learn from the galveston gazette that mr j w brown of san antonio and formerly of kentucky was killed by indians about a fortnight since within fif teen miles of the town ; and mr g k lewis who has made himself famous by running several expresses between san antonio and monterey with but a single companion was attacked also near the town as he was returning from monterey with despatches by 8 or 10 indians and received a shot but succeeded in reach ing the town it is reported in galveston that the ar my worm had made its appearance in the cotton fields on the brazos but the news is ot opinion from information received from that part ot the state that it is not the army worm but another description which confines its ravages to the grass and is therefore rather beneficial thau oth erwise to the cotton the crops through out tin state are said generally to be good particularly in the west the news learns that a number of planters have al ready commenced picking and that the cotton is opened sufficiently to enable the hands to gather one hundred pounds per day if no injury happens in the next ten days adds the news the crop will probably he sate excepting late planting it is estimated that 45,000 bushels of wheat will be grown in the state this year gen tarlor the editor of the louisville ky journal savs in a controversy with the " deiiiocrur l that city : '• we can tell the editor of the democrat that it is within mr personal inotredge ihat gen taylor thinks quite as badly of the conduct ol lhe administration in bringing on the war and of its miserable inefficiency ui the management of it as we do from the richmond i gen taylor titken .'_■• touu uf „ we announced some time ago tbatan art to mexico lor the expr.'.x purpom of hrili ing back to ihe tinted states - 1 dd roueh and ready we knew at the time of mr browns departure on this interesting though perilous undertaking that if gen lavlor ever could be taken at all he could take lum and so it has turned out for by out latest advices from gen taylor's camp we have the assurance that tlie old hero has been taken and will soon be hi the slates in a private letter received i.v us yes lerday from our esteemed friend colonel j,jhn 1 hamtramck dated " near monterey june 20 the writer says : mr i own is hard at work out at camp when he reached l";1'1';1 was at once invited to take a tent adjoining major eaton's one of the gen eral s aids and was also invited to mess wuh the general and his stall he mr b has already one ot the most perfect portraits ol the general lever saw and also oue of major bliss 1 designs to paint the general and his stall in full length as they appeared on the four bat tle tields palo alto resaca monterey and buena vista for which purpose he will visit and sketch each he will also paint a view of the general as he is seen every day at camp in front ol his tent there is an awning on rude forks and pieces which affords him a shade under which he receives company converses reads newspapers and transacts business un der this awning there are three or four rude benches " it is reported here too that mr brown intends painting the general in his check shirt bandana cravat old green mean ing the general's green coat we suppose linen pants coarse shoes and straw hat on this canvass the general will appear as having*just buckled on his sword and in the act of mounting old " whitey whom the orderly is holding near by in the back ground of the same canvass will be represented the general's common wall tent whicli is just such an one as is used by the lowest grade of lieutenants jn the interior will be seen represented the rude camp cot blankets and even tho little desk on which the old hero has writ ten the reports ofall his battles in again alluding to the portrait alrea dy taken by mr brown our friend says " all here are pleased wilh mr b and all think his head of the general without a fault this of course will be gratify ing to mr b.'s friends as well as to the public gencrallv correspondence ofthe charleston courier washington august .">. the expenses of the mexican war be gin to be alarming at one time it was asserted that the prosecution of the war would not cost six millions a year mon than the ordinary amount ofthe expendi tures ii was estimated that the eighteen million loan the expenses of the war : would be amply met even if it continued till june 30th ims allowing four mill ions to be always on hand in the treasu ry this was thf evi iii-at nl lhe lose of ... ring t'tie ijut thirteen millions of the loan have been already called for and the remain der must be in the course of the present month the expenditures for the nrmy alone during the quarter ending junc30th were over sixteen millions the excess of ex penditures over receipts lor that quarter was more than two millions should ilu war be prosecuted with the vigor which has been promised the ex penditures on account of the army will exhaust the treasury before the meeting of congress iu december i have little doubt that the hesitation on the part of the government in sending out an ade quate force to our generals for the pros ecution ot thc war is caused by the pros pect of an empty treasury to present to congress at the commencement ofthe next session barren victories a continued war and an empty treasury will be ra ther mortifying to the administration — vet lhe executive is iu this dilemma that he must abandon the attempt to conquer a peace or hazard the continuance of ex penditures which may prove unavailing lt is an easy matter to kindle up a war to extinguish it is another affair 1 men tioned some days ago that the cabinet had held a consultation ou the subject of the instructions to he sent out by the bran t/t/teiiie to mr tod and that it had been determined to recede from the ground ta ken by mr wise and heretofore counten anced by the executive in relation to the affair of lt davis and the three sailors of the u s ship saratoga subsequent information enables me to confirm that statement and to give mr buchanan due credit for sustaining con ciliatory and proper view on the subject but still it is iin opinion that there will be diliiculty in settling the matter the laiilli u r « hich paper has here tofore defended mr wise's conduct minis affair savs : though we have reason to suppose that the instructions by the executive to mr tod have h.eti framed with a lauda ble purpose to prevent a collision between the iwo countries our private nformat,on leads us to suppose that it will not be a verv easy matter the authorities ol bra zil being in a high state of exasperation i may be hoped however that mr lod will find them nol to he so lar excited by what ha passed as not to listen to reason we are not disposed to doubt the disposi tiou ol our own government to avert tins collision if it can do so by any reasonable effort marrying for monej may be gold for lhe hand but it is generally li ad ior the heart
