THE ANNEXATION.

The Washington correspondent Of the True Sun,
who writes from the councils Of the Calhoun men
says
''There is decided majority against the annexation
in the Senate, and no treaty will be ratified, pre-
dicted in my former letters Mr. Clay will declare
strongly against the Annexation, and the Wings will
endeavor to make party question of it, by forcing
the Democrats into sustaining the measure. Mr.
Clay's well-known fiends say''that he will come out
hat-footed against it, without any reservation or
lodging the question.
Hoc are the Locos to be driven into sustaining An
nexation? lfthey choose to oppose it or let it alone,
who can constrain them to do otherwise? SIN.

MORE INSULT no THE PEOPLE

II is well remembered that in 1910, Mr. Buchanan
and Mr. Tuppan. two Loco Foco Senators, advocated
the reduction Of wages to the standard of about ten
cents day! as this would cover the country with
blessings and benefts Levi Woodbury,n his lnstan
titari speech in the United States Senate, which was
revised by himself and published in the Globe, used
the following language: r .5
''By which means protective dues) the workmen
enabled to the home consumer by great prices,
while the higher wages they receive, MAKES THEM
NEITHER HAPPIER NOR RICHER, SINCE THEY
ONLY DRINK MORE AND WORK LESS #a.
This outrageous Insult to the workmen Of our coun-
try, shows the feeling of Loco Focoism and its con-
tempt FOR any thing like honest industry. For many
years Levi Woodbury. has been fed from the public
pursehe is retained in Office by his politicafriends
and while at the expense orthe Nation, he drinks ex-
pensive foreign wine and feeds at the pampered IN
bles oC arisocrucy, he dares offer reason why
workman should not receive higher wages, that he
! will then drink more and acork less--P hIad. TO

NEW ORLEANS MARKETS.
"Wednesday Morning Jan "a, 1874

~ 6dheHuay MORNING jan "a 1919
We have again TO remark, that the bust.
ness operations Of the past few days have been
on a limited scale, nor have any changes DC.
cured of sufficient Importance to call for any
extended remarkf. The market on Saturday
was quite unfavorahie for outdoor irahsac-
tions, but since then it has ceased raining, and
is very warm for The season.
BY this mornings mail we have 4 few days
later advjces from Europe, which are unim-
p%ortani. The markets abroad remained in
the same position as at the departure Of the
last steamer. Operators IN Cotton on this
side are operating entirely independent Of the
condition Of the European markets, relying as
they do with great justice, that the accounts
from hence will be productive of a very great
advance in prices there, the result Of which,
however, cannot be known for some weeks to
nme The receipts If cotton at this point
are very small; and exhibit a glaring deicien-
ely against the supply Of last season.
C0TfON-IH our review Of Saturday
morning last, we noticed the cotton market as
having closed with great frmness on The even
ing before, arising i'd some degree from ru.
mors which were current throughout the
whole or The day, III regard to laier and verv
idHbidVHG dCbpuUlH fIbti EBDg ldius Which EIb-
sequcntly, however, have turned out to be IN.
correct. On Saturday there was only a mod.
crate der1and for Cotton, and the sales amoun-
ted TO 1900 bales, at former prices. The mar
ket was more active on Monday, and the
transactions comprised 1000 bales, including
u list Of l7G0 Mobile, the price Of which has
moi %transpired. Yesterday was chronieIed by
the arrival Of a mail for the first time in seye-
raj days, bringing dates from New York to
the 9Th. An arrival from England on the 7th
had brought dates from Liverpool on the 9th
%uitfno, representing the Cotton market to be
without change; the sales for the week end
ing the 8th having amounted To $4,000 bales,
at former prices. This news being only two
days later, had no visible effect on our own
market, although we believe that there was
more disposition to sell. The transactions,
however, did not exceed 5000 bales, making
The business Of the past few days 10000 bales.
We continue former quotations.
The receipts since the 10Th inst. are 49,
525 bales, and the exports 1928, viz: to Bos-
ton; 1929; New York, 1899, having a stock on
hand, including all on shipboard, not cleared
yesterday. Of l9l,480 bales.

CULTURE or THE vINE.-A gentleman re.

alone is needed TO make this particular bust

His crop of 1912, the produce. of about four
acres, yielded about 100 gallons. And du-
ring the year lS43 his sales were near 1900
gallons, at prices ranging from - cents to
81 per gallon.
His success has induced many others to
enter into The business, as it has thus far pro-

the hint would not be lost upon the citizens
of the South, who possess soils as well suited
to the vine, and a climate far superior to any
