set fire TO in several places, and was soon in
flames, destroying the public library and doc

THE RISE AND PROGRESS OF THE COT


1ON 4hADfq
We gather from that excellent journal,
Hunts Magazine, some curious memoranda
in relation to the rise and progress ofthe great
staple, which as they have interested us, may
likewise excite the interest of some Of our
readers.
Cotton is an article which was almost un-
known in Commerce until the close Of the
last century. OF the two kinds cultivated in
the United States, the black seed or long sta
Pile cotton was first cultivated in Georgia about
the year 1896; the green seed, or short staple
cotton, some years after, although it had been
raised in North Carolina and Virginia in a linn
tied way prior to the revolution The native
place Of the seed OF the long staple cotton is
believed to be Persia. The first bag export
ed from Georgia was grown by Alexander
Bissit, OF 81. Simon's Island, and shipped from
Savannah by Thomas Miller, in 1888. Mr..
Miller is still living in Camden county, in the
enjoyment of a green old age. He was one
of the first who engaged in business of buy
ing cotton in the Savannah market, and for
a long time was the only purchaser. 1t
came to him in parcels of firm 20 lbs. to 100
lbs. and with his own hands he assorted and
packed it for market, His exclusive and ar
dent yea. in bringing forward the article, gave
him very early the name of "CoTToN Miller"
which he still holds in much honor. In 1892
he growth of cotton was so'inconsiderable, or
as commercial article, deemed of SO little value
that Mr.. Jay, in his treaty with England, nego-
tiated that year, consented to the stipulation,
that no cotton should be imported from Amer
lea The Senate refused to ratify the article.
In 1892, the entire crop of the United States,
was $50 bags; in l847, 1858 1886 bags! In
1874 an American vessel that carried eight
bags to Liverpool was seized, on tho ground,
that so much cotton could not be the produce
Of the United States. In 1894 the invention
OF the saw gin,EofEli Whitny, of Connecticut,
gave a powerful impetus to the culture of cot
on, and from that period its production has
rapidly onward w O. Commercial Bull.

INTERESTING Discovery The Paris cores
pendent of the Courier des Etas Unis, des-
crlbes a marvellous discovery, which has Just
been made, relating to the important subject
Of c%oloring gray hair:
The new system consists in bringing a.
bout the internal Coloring of the hair. The
discovery is borrowed from the Chinese, who
have succeeded in reaching and transforming
BY means of medicine and peculiar diet, the
liquid which colors the spilous system and
and giving to white and red hair a black tint.
which maintains itself during the continued
growth. 1t is by this method thai the Chi
nese have been able to claI title from
the highest antiq uity of the BLACK haired ma
ton.
Mr. DELAY has published a treatise upon it
and as the bones of living animals have been
colored red by making the eat madden, and
the internal wood of trees has been changed
to different hues by watering the roots with
liquid metallic salts, he wonders that this dis
covery has not before been made by those who
thus experimental. The hair and the beard
belong to vegetable life, and are opposed to the
same phenomena. In fact, says Mr.. DELAY.
after a sufficient quantity of ferruginous salts
has been introduced into the body, the circu-
latlon takes them up, the blood loaded with
these substances deposites them in the folli-
cules of the hair, which in turn pours them
into the oil of the hair, and this oil, saturated
with iron, becomes black, hair with it.

FURTHER CANADIAN DISTURBANCES.
BALrmoEE. Manday, APEi b


The city OF Montreal continued on salur.
day in a state Of great excitement, and law
less violence was the consequence. The an
nouncement that The Government had armed
five hundred French const ,bles gave fresh i'm.
pulse to the rebels, Twenty English gentle
men encou ntered the cons;ables and a stree
row e sued. Shots were fired and two were
wounded, though not MORALLY. The Govern
ment for the sake Of peace disarmed the con-
stables. Meetings were held and petltio 8 got
up to the Queen to recall Lord Elgin, and dis
allow the Rebellion Indemnity bills. The hO-
teIs and garrlsOns were under armsi cannon
were planted in the streets to overawe and sup
press dissatisfaction. The str Gets were quiet
and the outbreak for the present quelled. 1t is
reported that riots had taken place in Kingston,
Toronto and other places, but we have nothing
authentic.
We have been constrained to take som
liberties with the text Of this despatch, but
think we have preserved its meaning.

To J. l.. MtronElL, E4q., Editor Of the Creole.
Dcar Sir.-Permil me to say, though the
medium ot your paper, that l decline being O
candidate for the office Of Judge Of the 9Th Ju-
dicial District. 1t is due TO those who have
given me assurances OF their support and mani
tested a Jealous wish for my election, 20 state
the reason Of my declining. The District en-
braces six large and populous counties; and
the result of the ele9tion-unlike that OF a po-
%litical eIectioD-wonld in a great measure de-
pend upon the partialities and preferences OIL
the vo tiers in regard to the individuals who
may be candidates for the office. Hence il
is plain that | should have to make the &C.
quaintance of the people in every neighbor-
hood in the District. To do this in such a
manner as justice to myself and friends would
require in order to insure a successful result
would, under present circumstances, occupy
all of my time from now till November
When | consented to become a candidate
felt that | should be able and | was willing tC
make SuCn o SaCTluc6 Of tIHt anu 'huolN "
though atno time very anxious to fill the OF
fee. But tho present state Of my health ad-
monishes me that, without a speedy and great
improvement, | shall be physically unable tt
undergo SO much labor. THIS is the opinion Of
my physician, who, understanding the cOndi'
ton Of my system better than do, has advised
me to withdraw from the canvass and to seek
the restoration OF my health.
1t may be that within a few weeks l may be
abb. to undergo the labor of a canvass but as
this is matter very uncertain, and as, there
fore, | do not wish to be in the way Of others
who may wish to become candidates for that
Office, | think pr er to withdraw At once
from the list Of candid es.
