COTTON BALEs-AvERAGE WEIGHT.
The collector of the port of Mobile has publish
ed valuable and timely communication on the
relative weight of the bales If Cotton at New Or
leans, Mobile and the Atlantic ports. 1t will he
found to convey much useful information, and
will he particularly valuable for reference, and
with that view we wish to preserve it.
Custom House., (Mobie,) Jan. Goth, Is47
Much anxiety has been manifested lately by
those interested in the cotton trade to ascertain
with reasonable certainty the quantity of cotton
made in the year lS45, in pounds-the average
weight of bales at each of the ports where the
article is received for shipment; and whether any
this season. Having been specially requested 10
do So | addressed letter of inquiry on these
points TO the Go lectors of New Orleans Charles
ton and Savannah. and now present Tor genera
use the information so promptly Transmitted by
those gentlemen, and that which the records of
my office exhibit in reference To the subject
The books in our custom-house show only the
portion of the crop shipped to foreign countries.
Using this as hasis of calculation, with the Pri-
ces Current in the hands of every merchant, the
results which follow have been obtained.
At Ne,U Orleans the average weight of the
bales received last year ending 3 st August 1916,
was $50 pounds; and no information of any
change tits season.
At Mobile it was 4s9 pounds last season and
so far in this 484 pounds
AT Charleston last season and this 360 pounds.
At Savannah it was Ais pounds last season,
(incuding upland and Sea IsIand) and 430 so
far in this The upland has not increased he
yond the average of last season, which was 432
pourds hut the result is due to the small quanti-
ty of s. Island received this season, which does
not average much over 800 pounds to the bale.
Table No. l presents the number, average and
aggregate weight of bales received at the South
ern ports of the U. States, exclusive of Texas,)
of he crop of Is45 whole quantity, 706,ss0,-
739 pounds The average weight of the bales in
Florida, North Carolina and Virginia, is conjec-
tural.
Table No. shows the receipts of the crop of
1916, up TO the 9Th January inst, an estimate of
the total receipts during the season at each port,
provided the same proportion he maintained
throughout. and the crop amount to two millions
OF bales. The quantity in such case would be in
the aggregate S59,SS0,739 pounds,
Table No. shows the deficit from the crop of
lS45 in lbs, and in average bales Of 440 pounds.
should the crop of 1916 be respectively 2,O0O,OO0;
or 5000 900; or 10000 bales.
am very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JAMES E. SAUNDERS, Collector.

The Fisheries Of Cecil county, .Md.-In the
county there about 60 fisheries, which pay
an annual rent of about $50, 900, and employ :
bout 2 900 men. who receive each Spring, in
ges. about $50, 900. and consume provisions a
mounting to Sl3,250. The value of materials
on these shores is about $4,000. The sales o
fresh fish amount each Spring to about ST. 100.
There are sailed up, of behring's. about 81 500
brls, which sell for about 100000 OF shad
there are sailed about $50 brls. which at Sc per
brl. worth 81 500.
From the above it will be observed that the
sales of fish amount TO upwards of $4,000,
nearly all of which comes into the county from
abroad, and is finally mostly distributed among
our citizens. The coopers alone, who make for
the fishermen nearly 10000 barrels, get large
sum-iarmers workingmen, and all, are largely
benefited by the annual calls the finny visi-
tants. Verify, there are great riches in the sea.

General Irwin.

Gen. Irwin, ii seems, canno, please the loco
locos. Some of them say he's rich, and grnds
the poor-yet no sooner does he give fifty bar
res of meal for The relief of the suffering poor
Of ireland, than these self-same men fall TO
abusing him for attempting to make political
capital.
| Others say he's an aristocrat, and revefs on
the sweat Of his hands--yet no sooner is i,
shown that many in his employ have earned
handsome competence, than these fault fin
ders open anew their smut-machines, reitera,e
the statements, and will probably swear 10 them
so often between this and election time lha, the
poor souls will al last believe it themseves-
which they do not now.
A third class allege that he is an ironmas-
lei" |" as if there was something Objectionable
in that. Well if he is, Gen. Irwin is acknow-
fedged to be All HONEST one. Can the Draw
lers, who do the dirty work of the party, lay
their hands on their hearts and say ,ha, they
have at no time supported an iron-masier for
office--one, 100, who was perhaps honest enough
for them, bu, no, TOO much so?
We could allude 10 other objections made by
the supporters of the "reiired city merchant" +"
and the retired lawyer and life office holder
but in truth they are 100 trivial, too weak, 100
impoens to do Gen. Irwin any harm. If they
can bring no other objections against him than
the above, they might as we'll hang up their
hddes, for the greater their abuse the more
votes he will get. Mark shat Leuistown

Al meeting Of The Wings Of Somerset coun
iy, on The 10Th inst The following among Other
resolutions were adopted with great unanmiiy
Resolved, Tha, although Gen James Irwin
was Eot the first choice OF The Wings of this
county, yet believing him 10 be true Wing
honest and capable, sincere friend of protec-
ZION 10 home industry, and all other measures
best calculated 10 promote The interests of the
American people, hereby pledge him our
cordial and undivided support for The office OF
Governor.
Resolved, That we will warmly suppor, Jo-
seph w. Patton, the Wing candidate for Canal
Commissioner. Encouraged by the election OF
a Whig last fall, We are he more desireus ol
elecling another, thus obtaining a majority in
The Board, when We trust an end will be put 10
all the foul corrdp.ions and plunderings upon
our Public Works which have well nigh beg
CARED the Slate.
Resolved, That language fails US TO express
our feelings in regard To The brilliant achieve
nenis Of Gen. Zachary Taylor, the hero OF
Palo Alto, Resaca de la Palma, Monterey and
Buena Vista, who in spite of The base mach.
nations of our LoeofocO rulers in Washington
has covered himself with glory in every battle
with his foreign foes, and should he be the can
didaie of The whole Whig party of the nation
we predict for him an equally glorious victory
erer his and his counuy's domestic enemies

determined not 10 dlsappoint the expectation
OF his friends"
The Wings have been equally fortunate in
the selection Of another candidate for Canal
Commissioner, Mr.. JOS. w. PATTON OF
Cumberland county. The nomination is admit
ted, by ali who know Mr.. Patton to be a most
excellent one, and meets with general favor
from the people in every section Of the State

Upon the receipt of the news of the defeat at
Sierra Gorda, the Mexican Congress held an
extraordinary session, at which decree was
passed, debating to all Mexicans the importance
of carrying On the war, and defending the na-
lionaity of the Republic. Ii also prohibits The
Executive from making peace with the United
States, Or concluding negotiation with foreign
powers disposing of any part Of The territories.
The decree pronounces all TO be traitors,
whether private persons ar public functonaries,
who make any treaty with the United Slales,
and declares such treaty to be null and void
A permanent committee is 10 be installed,
should Congress find it impossible to continue
its sessions. On this committee is 10 deyolye
the whole duties Of the Government counsel,
and aPpoin. in case of vacancy, temporary Ex-
eculive.
Gen Salas had issued proclamation decla-
ring that he was empowered 10 raise a guerrilla
corps, and calls on all good Mexicans to join
his standard
1t was rumored that Gen. Taylor had arrived
at San Luis, but not that he had taken the city.

House will stand Wings ll9-Locos l0S.-
The Senate, with the Calhounites against 1t,
will also be anti administration. Considering
that Mr.. Polk had majority Of about seventy
in The last House, we should think this result
indicates pretty strongly what The people think
OF his miserable administration.
