march with my company to and from the

duty consisted in escorting the caravan
of traders from the frontiers of Missouri to

their journey to Santa Fe, in Mexico. I
have not time to state all our privations,
fatigues &c. in detail I will therefore
simply say that we met the two dreaded
enemies of the traders, the Camanches
and the Pawnee Mahaws. With the first

The Cotton Crop. Hut a short time
since, and from every section of the coun
try, the most cheering accounts reached
us in relation to the cotton crops. With
in the last two or three weeks, however,
things to the South of us, have assumed
a different aspect: Alabama in particu
lar, (we learn from private letters) is suf-
iermg severely from various causes. An
unprecedented drought in some pans,
and the worm and catterpillar in others,
are making, and have already made, an
almost total destruction.
In our own neighborhood, we are
happy to state, that in very few instances
bave such misfortunes befallen us, on the
contrary, the crops are generally good.
