A Hero and Heroine, -**7 When trss tLere a war, a revolution, or nn exciting time in Congress, in | , Parliament; or in n Legislature but ' some man suddenly proved to lie a | hero iu miiitlif udRlrs, or n statesman . in the council chambers of a Nation ? ' We (ead of, beloved Wnsiiiiiglon, whin ' ( but twenty years of age, tendering hi* , services to Gov. Duiwiddie, of Virgin- j 1 ia, to go to the borders of the Ohio and , , meet the great French general— whoso ( army in company with the Indians were making tcriible entrenchments on | the people of the Old Dominion — to 1 , . consult with him, and obtuiu a guar- j , niitcc ilmt they would not make further , invasions, lli* ofler met wilh un al- i veplatico, and wliy T Bvcaase no other ' , V 41 at* on could bo found to perform the ■ | perilous task but Washington. Wilh j , *an iron heart lie bounded forth into the I , 1 nilds of the forest, in tiic midst of tviu> j ' ter, and sought confvrenco - with the | French leaderr. On returning home lie , { was greeted by all, and n resolution of , honor to him, passed the House of Burr gcBics, by a unanimous vote. In this » eireumsUnco, Gen. Washington, proved 1 to be a noble hero at the beginning of his life. Historians give us accounts of '' persons whose names have sprung into the hearts of the masses, without a moment's warning. Gen. Taylor's name j will ever be spoken with reverence, on account of his glorioos victories when , marching ou Mexico, and so it is with the hero of the battle of New Orleans — Andrew Jackson; — and Qen. WinGeld Seott, who we bare present with us, , seated on the deck of the Ship of State, a and almost guiding the Mighty Craft " through the fearful waves which are beating madly against the rock of Lib erty, threatening to overwhelm ns. — Long ago we had cvidenco of his b«ot»m. llut who is it that everj tree American has lately, for the first time, looked 8 to wilh unbounded gratitude. Why, the 'hero of Fort Sampler — Major Rob ' ert Anderson. The aged know of him, and so to with the smallest boy that parades the street. Seldom it is that so - much esteem bos been heaped upoa the ! head of a man, as upon this fearless ' officer; but be is worthy of reverence, and let him receive his reward in this I world and in Iba world to cotne. Is there no other,person in the army department of this country that deserves praise, who has plajad a noble, patriotic, , sud daring part in the (jrasent drama J f Yes, indeed; aud on tha supposition 8 that few know of the hiatory of Lieut. A.J. Slemmer, now rending at Fort Pkkens, Florida, I will devote a shjrt t space lo bta past life. He waabom in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania.- — His grsud/sthen shared in ibe-couqimau

| won et the battles of Monmouth, Tren- 1 1 I and Princeton. With mijah credit i graduated at West Point, and 1 1 soon after fought agaiust the Seminole c Indians. Was ordered to California, I nod from there was placed in Fort Moul- < trie, where he spent his time natil called t the Const Survey service. Many prominent men,, seeing tho excellent j * qualifications of Slemmer, used their in- { i \ and ho was appointed teacher | | in West I-oint Academy, remaining such 1 four years, when he was again stationed I at Fort Moultris. From this Fort he i removed to Penaacola, and commanded 1 forts Pickens, Bern n cos nnd Mcitae. — 1 Upon the right bnnd of the entrance of | the Bay of 1 Psnnsneola stands Fort 1 upon the left hand is Fort Mc- | t Rue, and upon the same shore witlxthe 1 I latter, one inile lint a quarter further up < : the Bay is Fort Baraucas. These forts 1 1 are nearly equidistant from each other. 1 Fort Pickens is n finely constructed for- 1 tification, at the extremity of a long. ] narrow sand spit, that separates the Bay the Gnlf some distance, and is so situated that It commnnds the harbor. — 1 Being only approachable by land, ftsde- 1 | are so ajranged that a small force !can rcpaM^ vasujk. superior' number — "tb. otber two forts' vara,, not of an extra : class, and could not^hold out under o ; very heavy attack. Rumors were going tho rounds, at ( that the Florida tAiops were , 1 preparing to captnre the forts, navyynrtl, ( arsenal, &c., nnd I.ieut Slimmer, then ' ( 1 residing in the barrack*, iu order to save the harbor, trnnsfered his quartets lo ^ I'ickens. The work of removing t 1 ptriormcd in twenty four hours, and { upon the reiponsibiiiiy of Slemiuur — Never were there n people so completefoiled ns were the Floridinns at this ' wise, cunning and gnllunt m*»ve. An- | derson was Atollcd to the heavens for ' ! the manner in which he evactunlcd Fort j Moultrie and took charge of Fort Sutep- ' ter ; but rest assured that no more skill, forethought or bravery were displayed in this act than on the part ot Lieut Slemmer. j When it was reported what the last i named person bad done, rhe disanionisls grew enraged, condemned the net, seized tho other forts and all tho property being to the United States. The exciting intelligence reached Alabama nnd Mississippi. and those Stule. imim-d ntely marched companies down to Peusacola, to unite wilh Florida' ard attempt the capture of Fort Pickens. But when they arrived at the desired place, it wa$ I found to be a more difficult task to overpower Slemmer and his company, than was at Grst supposed, and after making - numerous threats they saw that the Licu> tenant was true to his Country, and 1 ' could not be made to surrender. Ac- j 1 cordingly tho many soldiers from other i Slates returned to the embrace of their | mothers, somewhat dixcomfiltod ; and 1 now the chivalrous band in Fort Tickem; might appropriately shoot victary I • victory I ! glorious victory I ! I although they hare not fired a gun into the rtfeels At the beginning of tbis article yon noticed a title of "Hero aud Heroine," and as I have spoken of th'e-Hrro, you are doubtless waiting to hear of the ! Heroine. Weil, who do you imagine! the woman is f I wiii answer. "She is ! tho wife of the Hero, and like many | 1 others, is a handsome and prepotscuing 1 Jersey girl. Her name is - Caroline, 1 daughter of Rev. John Reynolds, of 1 the Episcopal Church, in this State. — > She was educated at St Mary's Hall, Burlington, and graduated at the age of "modest fifteen" and is bat twentjjiow. • A writer has said, flier intellectual , faculties are ot tbe highest order." ' When the barracks were deseited*t 1 Penaacola, she went with her husband . to their new home;. but getting there, 1 found that amidst the hnrry, she batf left ; behind her trunks and clothes. A boat 1 was brought and she returned for them. - On landing soutihcls hailed her ; yet 1 she beetled uol t'..e insulting voicts

"I w ilLsetJ^c'i the Fort, take my post ska gun, And {1 when Lieut. Slemmer shall order fire, i-; 1 j will batter down your barracks." It 1 fancied that the dastardly cowards pale at her speaking. Some may tliink that Mrs Slemmflf . ' not merited the name of Heroine | ' by this single act, but let such under- 1 stand that ihe same heart which then manifested its undaunted conrage is still j throbbing, and only waits for a chance ! 1 display iudf. But, kind reader, I fear I have ia- I truded upon yonr patience. Let me close this scribbling,, by adding that "honor is due" this brave Lieutenant, and it may be anticipated that his name and bis worthy deed? will adorn the of American History. J. GRAVril.LV 1 ,1'ACIL gf Tor Ito "Oc*«n Wars" ! WHO U T8 COTTON 18 II HQ I The question which I have propoun- . ded above, is n subject upon which the whole American and European press now refcring to wilh greater interest than ever before. » Every member of Congress who ntH tcred iiis voice iu furor of the malicious devices of our (unutic >Ulcs hue declar ed thut "Cotton i* King," Ai.d lure declaration lias not been confined to oar Nalionu! Halls, but it bus resounded throughout the country from llio lips of all disuuiouist*. They attempt to taunt 111 with ihe assertion thut Foreign po.v il recognize a Southern Confeder- ] ncy. fur the rensou I hut American Colton governs the entire commercial world. , Well. I will, for arguments sake, acknowledge their protest and say thai 1 — — —

'"Cotton 11 King " But how long will he rule ? Why. jnat up to the time that a re d revolution opens upon us, and 110 longer. What authority h ive I for re-, tnnrking this? The answer is that il 0 . 1 comes from a reliable source. Yes fron. 1 1! tho very heart of the places that will be ^ 1 effected by a stagnation in the Cotton ^ ' trade. And more : history teurhes ns ; that such will undoubtedly be the con- 0 srqncnce. For example, let me refer « you to Brazil, which, sixty-years ngo. * did not export a bag of coffee. St. l>o- ' ' mingo cultivated this staple and supplied ! nations, until the revolution broke cut in . 1792. The island was in a slate of , ' anarchy, the result of which almost en- , lirely destroyed the crop. It was then | transplanted to different sections of the I H World Brazil especially entered in- 1 1 ' to tbe coffee cultnrc largely ; and that | l country now furnishes nearly 200,000, j '*000 pounds, annually to the United^ r | States. This is one instance where a r revolution has completely overthrown a i , King, and if it were desbed, numerous < ' circumstances might be enumerated of the like character. 1 ' But you ask, what places are there that will, for aseaion, experience a pan- ' ic, by the closing of the cotton' market. ^ Onr reply is that all the Enrppean countries will be more or less affected e 1 They are dependent upon the United ° j Statosfor cotton and already they real* ize tbe dawning of a crisis. London r ' papers and even the press throughout 5 England, say they must emancipate * themselves from trusting in America to , supply their large demands, and the cultivation of this great product is org- ' ed ia other countries. Is France aod Germany they have heard of onr Naj tiosal troubles, »nd arc deliberating in relation to toe best soil and climate t tbe cultivation of tbis article. ( This g brings me to another point, and that Is, Can it be raited anywhere else but in diaos ion states? Indeed it can. A gent tlsman of Conneclicdl has lately trev1. ailed through Mexico, Central America, d and Sout'o America, for the purpose of > seeing whit can bo dose in cotluu grow-

ing. and he says that Central American raoil and climate is better adapted to this j product than alky other coaatry. The people of those states have learned this j truth, aud have already commeneedjsow- ■ ing the seed. South America shipped I a Itogo quantify of cotton to England ; tH>e past year, liat yon wondor if there no other teontries that cnltivate it -j ' as wc do. fisvo any forgotten what ' China does in this fine of business ? If j they raise Gvc times tiro amount that j they raise five times the amount that ! America docs, and when they find there j is a greater demand for the crop, every facility is at hand to raise what is re- > quired. Wo have many reasons for beI lieviugtbat England will lake bold of the I Cotton of Chine, as she, and her idly France, have lately sought a free en-, trance to the great city of Pekin. , Thus I hove shown you that Ameri- O cau cotton will not long reign king tri- ^ amphaul, should this involution pre- ■ gress, allowing that he sways tho seep- " tre now. Supposing this lo bo tiro , result, who are to receive the condemnation ? Why, the disunionista, who have inaugurated the present -difficulties. ' They were not willing to let "well \ | enough alone but, in their madness T and folly dreamed of a Southern Confcd- "* eracy, the opening of that nefations fS i Africm slave trade, aud that they would A ail lie lords and princes. They awoke p from their quiet slumbers, and said "I droamicl a dream that was not all a d ram " Cotton was placed apon the ^ throne, with a pal metto crown epou ■ head ; orders were given and mandate* obeyed; hut "Oh I the end, the dread- / fnl rod I' Curses from all nations are heaped upon their heads ; anarchy is even in their midst, and starvation threatens them soon.

There arc other 1 sources from which fertilizers are obtained. and scarcely a farmer of any nolo no* udays tuii.ks of passing a year without purchasing more or Ion ol those varioux kind* of patent manures.

We beg leave, *' in this connection, to call attention to (he j advertisements of Messrs. Allen fc Needle*. | and more especially to that of their "Kxtrrvmenlom," or "fore Night Soil," which may be relied on, as being just what tbe advertisement represents it to b? — pure. — Let not tho farmer conf*uud this with his ideas of Poudrette, for it is vastly different We have been acqaainted with these gentlemen for several years past, and have had dealings with thorn annually, and we can safely ray that the psblie moy wet assured of the truth of what they set forth io their advertisements. — Editor Waoe.
