Cotton Crops in Mississippi,
The reports from the cotton crops in Eastern
Mississippi are very unfavorable. Where it ha
come up it looks unpromising, It is very low— ;
scarcely above the ground, small, and forms a very i
had stand. Some arc replanting.
The At fleet of Hnilrnuds on the Vain • of
Properly,
i The proposition to tax real estate for the con
struction of roads, meets with universal favor—of
I course, always excepting'xiiffcw drones, who have
! amassed fortunes by the Industry of others. An
| enterprising man buys a tot in a pari of the city ,
I destitute'of elegant residences, lie erects-on bis
1 lot a row of handsome houses—they are occupied 1
; by respectable families—others follow bis example,
o id Ah a sboii time a desirable neighborhood iscre
1 ati d. Some other enterprising man, like John
i Hoey, starts an omnibus line, and the tide of pop
illation sets to that point. The vacant ground ly
! ing between this remote neighborhood, and the
heart of the city, is at once enhanced in value ;
| and the owners are thus made rich, not by their
own risk, and labor and money, but simply as the
(consequence of the labor of others.
The construction of the Jackson Bailroad is only
I an enlargement of the sane principle—it is only
I its application to a larger field of operation. The j
i history of railroads in Massachusetts is fraught
with useful information. In ltv34, it was worth j
$102,827,00. This was the1 year when the Great j
i Western Railroad was completed. In 1850, the :
| assessment was $133,00*1,000
The Stateof Massachusetts, in 1810. was valued j
! at *299,898,329 ; in 1819, #590,531,879.
This rapid appreciation is due to the railroads,
which radiate from Boston, in every zlirection.—
I The manufactories were all in complete ojieratiori :
1 prior to 1-840, and they have diminished, rather 1
than increased, since that time. The roads have
; cost #4 4,000,000, and pay a very "handsome interest,
i while they have thus wonderfully increased the 1
j value of the whole State. Why should not like i
i causes produce like results eMt?where ! The laws
■ of trade are as certain and immutable as those of i
matter. Construct a road from New Orleans to i
; Opelousas—one from Now Orleans to Jackson—

The London correspondent of the New York

In the beginning of last week, the influx of emi
1 "rants was so great at Dublin, that some of tin
agencies advanced She rates of passage : hot this
will probably only In a temporary thing. Tie',
quays are said to be crowded by farmers, small !
traders, mechanics and their fuinde s, seeking pa.s
sage across the Atlantic. Cnlike those of former
years, they generally are said to be people in com
i fortflble circumstances, presenting no trace what '
: ever of poverty or the effects of famine, and that
the great proportion are generally young, healthy,

view for the United States.

Yesterday an eccentric old democrat from the
country was bargaining with a citizen for the pur
chase of a horse, and had partially agreed to give
two hundred dollars for the animal, when he ut
quired : v .—,
“ What is the name of the critter ?”
“ Tom Benton, sir,” was the reply.
“ What! Tom Benton ? Then I can't purchase
lum, sir. Tom Benton wouldn't obey instructions,
and I’ll hi no I, rse of that name. He'd prove

We have recently chronicled acter.il of the

other symptoms more startling still. The privilege
of wearing the pantaloons had (it was whispered! i
lieen sometimes before assumed by matrons, bot
under" the curtain,” orpriratrly; but wh-n young
maidens publicly parade this attire, and boast of

safe badge af distinction, rnay well be considered

A lady correspondent of the Lowell (Mass.,)1
Courier, writing from St. Louis, has suggested '
'best- reflections, by the following statements
winch her euer contains. It will hr; remarked
that she also is a convert to this last invasion on
the rights of man:
On our way here, I was in company with four
young ladies, who were bound to California, on
r the protection of their father and brother; and
as they were all four dressed in male attire, 1 have
thought some account of them would be interest
ug to you. They were from Philadelphia, are
highly respectable—their father. Mr. Springer,
having been an eminent merchant there, who met
with reverses in business. 1 first met this family
at Louisvilb, on board the steamer on which I
niharked for St. Louis, and continued with Them
to this city. They intended going over the plains,
from Independence, in wagons, and will have a
iong and tedious journey to |>erform. They were
in fine spintu, however, s l ining to look upon their
ioiirnev as a pleasant excursion. Their conduct
in the boat was perfectly lady-like; indeed, every
lie was pleased with them., They hive a - apply .
if coarse male apparel for the plains; hut ?he:r
-nits worn on the bout were fashionable and tine,
back dress coats, black pants, buff vests, arid bat*
-f glossy hi,■»( k. The buttons of their vests were
plain fla* surfaetand v, rv redi. Tin if coat and
suits were all re li and fit to a nicety. Their hair
ivas cut short, and their whole appearance was
rented. They stated tome that they felt perfect
v at ease in their new garments and preferred
hem to gowns. 1 asked them whether they pro
•used traveling on the plains in their fine cloth
nits. They aswered in the negative, observing
hat they had a supply of rough clothes for the
ourney, but that while they \vi re ygt ineiviliagd!
egions, they intended to dress hkf- gentlemen.—
Vow I ran say with perfect truth, that no harm
r ill nature resulted trnm the course pursued by
In- Mis Springers. Every passenger spoke well
if tie:in, and the lady passengers, with only one
veeption, acknowledged that they no longer saw
uiytiung wrong in females dressing m male attire.
In jail to think, therefore, that Miss. Webber may
-•owe to our country safely, and not be considered
in eccentric. At all events, 1 have written to her
o that effect, and volunteered to her a cordial re
■eption. But I must caution you not to keep your
:yes too intently on her person, or you will be j
mre to fall in love with her. She is the beau ideal
>f a handsome gentleman, and l could never desire
o see her in female dr ss. The eldest Of the Miss
springers is very intelligent and well educated.— 1
she says the day will yet come when all women
will wear male wttirc. I have a strong notion of :
retting a handsome suit for myself, toh • worn oc
asionalty in selected company. I d it fancy |
dack cloihes, and therefore must adopt Mras Web
jet's evening suit. 1 suppose, the blue dress coal, ,

During the last thirty years material power has
>ei'ii developed equally with population in the
.'mted States of .America. Great Britain alone es
:epted, no State in Europe could now maintain the
irmaments in the field fir any length of time. Thi*
marvellous growth is deranging all the old tradi- .
ions of" balance of power.” America is not only •;
i first-class state—in a few years, if no internal
lisorder shall occur, she will be the greatest of all. |
should the IbtS 50 rate of uicrease be maintained i
'or fifty years, the population will then amount to
90,000,00°—nearly equal Pi that of the whole of
lontinental Europe! Were it possible to conceive
he same ratio maintained for another fifty ytars,
he census of 19*0 would give the astounding uiun
ter of 1 035,000,000! German wars and French
evolutions sink into complete insignificance by the
udo of considerations like'those. With such a.
mnnent, how will we may understand the “ roars
if laughter" with which the American Senate re
■eiitly received the menaces of Austria! When
he United States shook uflf the yoke of England,
hoir people numbered no more than 3,000,000;
»heu they were last measured against a European
> >wer, they were not more-than S,000,000. Ten
. irs hence they wilt be equal to France or Acs- '
ria. There hardly seems to be a lun.t to then
.r.ovth. The valley of the .Mississippi would alone
:uppott the whole population ot Europe. In its
•a.,! basin nations are now growing upas if at the
lidding of enchantment. The valley already con
gins about thirteen millions of inhabitants:—at the
"■ginning of this century it did not contain ns ninny
housainls! There is a moral as well as a material
ramleur in tins great movement of the Sacun race
—marching on from conquest to conquest, abaoi
nig into itst if less energetic stocks, and planting
rom ocean to ocean the freest institutions ever
idopted by nations. America is destined for its
inheritance: the Spaniard and the Portuguese
vilt disappear as surely as the Gaul, the Dane and
he Hollander hare disappeared—and two centu
lea lienee the English tongue will, no doubt, be
poken from the Cape of Storms to the Frozen

IN' MEMORY OF MY FATHER.
Hear father mine, thy grave >« faraway—
Soft, runny slut* bend warm «ml lovingly
AWe thy dreamless slumber, and the waves
Of a far southern stream sweep bv, and t«ear
In their low tones a message amt a sigh
From thy unhappy child.
My father dear.
Then* eyes hard never faxed upon thy grave,
These hands hsrye ueset taught the sweet spring
To bloom on that neglected rpot ; but ah,
Within my aoui there is a holy flower,
A flower perennial, watered with my tears.
And khtSM to hli> in bv the sweet beam of love—
Father, that flower is memory of thee.
Yeats, weary, antious year* have passed o’er
earth.
And shadowed in their rflir.se young, loving
hearts.
Since that bright morning when we saw thee go
Forth in the beauty of thv glorious prime.
Bearing to thy lai southern home a fair
And gentle bride. Oh, father, thou didst kiss
Thv little prattle with a beaming sonle
And give her to thy mother** holy care.
But even then I heard a faint, low sigh,
Which sadly fell upon my ear and heart.
The omen of a coming agony.
They tell me that a fair, you mf stranger-girl.
Who knew thee tuff, lias placed a sweet wild
rose
To ?b< ! its gentle fragrance o’er thy dust.
Her pitying heart was deeply touched to look
On the neglected sleep, and, with the pure
Sweet instinct of a daughter, she placed flowers
Upon Uiy lonely grave. My deep heart breathes
A blessing upon hers. Oh may no griefs
E'er tall upon her life like those which rest
So dark on mine.
Oh father, my poor heart
is lone and sad to night. In agony
'Tis calling to Ihee in thy distant grave.
I am an orphan l«ne, ami, when my brow
Is fevered and mv heart oppressed, I fain
Wou.d fly to thee, l would pour out my grief
Beside thy mouldering ashes, I would weep
Beside the cold grave-stone and on the ear
Of death would breathe a stricken daughter's
woe.
My spirit calls to thine—oil come tome
In this lone hour and let rue know once more
\ father's holv love. Ah, now a strange
Mysterious thrill comes o’ei my soul, 1 feel
A spirit’s presence—father, is it Unne !
Yes, it is thine, I see thee, ami through all
The trembling fibres of my frame I feel
That hallowed kiss. Stay, blessed father, stay
And leave me never more alone on tins
Cold desert of the earth. If thou must go,
Dear father, fold thy angel-wuaga around
Thy child and bear her to thy far blue home
To rest forever with our God and thee.

arose, and with a voice sweet as the music of a
nlve* bell, and soft as the air of /Conan harp, ad
tressed iheru.
She had not come there through motive* of idle *

them. She had not cuine with the longue of the
learned to enlighten them upon kiv >tly q uc-aliona of |
theology—but she bad come thinking she might do
them good, to sympathise with them in the day of
affliction. She had coine to speak to thc-rn of the
Savior. Their situation, gloomy as it was, was
yet better than many outside the walls, who

she spoke to tin m as • uly woman can, of a mother's
love. Sh - plan J herself in the condition of a
notliet who had an i rreing son I icked up in those 1
{bximy ce!t*—and with an eloquence that ajedo
r in the soul, she pictured to them the anguish of
that mother's heart.
Teais streamed from the eyes of the prisoners,
ind many a hardened man sobbed as though his
bear would break.
Oven ante by her feelings, the sp -aker sat down,
unable to control her emotion. The powei of love
