have had so many inquiries made
of me w hether it was our intention
to attempt it, that I deem it neces
sary to quiet Mr. Tappan's mind
by telling him that the statement
w hich was printed was true to the
letter, but a mere joke, mistaken
for earnest, on the part of the gen
tleman who made it public. So
far as regards me, he is safe until
he can be taken and tried by

not to be understood to say that 1

Richmond, October 15. There
seems to have been some sen
sation created by the late falls
of Cotton in the South; and the
prices of negroes, which for a
while were enormous, have also
consequently declined. We think,
however, the alarm is premature;
at least it is overdone; there being
very little to complain of while
Cotton sells at 15 to IG cents.
The most serious cause of ap
prehension is felt by our Virginia
planters, on account of the des
truction of their Tobacco crops by
ihe frost. The blight seems to
have been very extensive in its
range, ami the efl'ect upon their
pecuniary prospects is great and
severe. Even an advance upon
the great prices of the past sum
mer, would not make up for the
whole damage done. Perhaps
not half a crop will be saved.
