We copy the following article from the Kosciusko
(Mi Seminal. Similar specimens of the same re-
markable productions to be at the house OF
Baker, Williams & Co., in this city. .-.... p.
PROLIFIC PoMEGRANATE COTToN. Wewere shown
specimens few days ago, of this most extraordinary
species of greatest staple production, which was
grown the past season on the plantation OF Col. IL
d. Mitchell, in Warren county, fourteen miles north
east of Vicksburg and confess that it exceeds by
far, any conception had of the disparity, both in
point of quality and production which there is between
the variety of species of this plant. Col. Mitchell
has specimens of the bush bearing the bos, and also
sample which has gone throug the ginning process
Among the first he exhibited single branch bearing
six bos in cluster, from which the contents of the
SIX might be taken at a grasp. The sample OF GIN
ned is of rich cream color, and for length and fine
of saple is far superior to any thing We have
seen. ... -.= .s... '-..-... ~ .1.-
The product of this cotton is not the least extraor
dinary characteristic of its superiority the kinds
which is present cultivated, and therefore claims
the attention of the cotton planter The following is
the result of the experiment made by COL Mitchell
with this cotton From one-thrd of an acre, he gath
cred alag lbs; 100 lbs. of seed cotton yielding 325
lbs. lint IS bolls make one pound.
A great popularity of this cotton and which dis
nguishes it from all other species is, that where the
bolls attached to the branches there is no joint
and therefore leaves no doubt upon mind that it
is distinct species.
Col. Mitchell is now on his way to the eastern
portion of Mississippi, and will probably visit Ma
bama and Georgia, for the purpose of supplying the
farmers with the seed of this cotton, which he sells
at the price of twenty dollars per quaran extrava-
giant price it would seem at first sight, but which is
cheap when it is taken into consideration the great
of labor which may be saved in its production
it requires at least two thirds less land to produce
the same quantity of cotton, which will command
better price in market -. - rs-7 r-- T.
We have not the pleasure of an acquaintanc with
Col. M. but he is well known to many of the most
respectable citizens in this community, who esteem
him as gentleman of veracity and honor, and we
hesitate say that his statements entitled to
the fullest reliance. I-.l -. -.---

! The golden RULE Had even handed justice been
meted out and the same retribntFe punishment been
inflicted upon our transgTessiVe Northern brethren,
that they disposed to lay upon us for like trans
gressions what would have been the consequence !?
The grand fathers and the fathers of OF Abo-
tionsts would have suffered the death of felons
the gallows. What was piracy in 1903, was legal
traffic before that period and there is seaport
in New England that did not become enriched by the
slave trade In fact it monopoly that for years
they enjoyed: and their most prosperous ctzensanade
their money out of "a traffic, which is now declared
by the law of nations to be Piracy. 1t requires
deal of patience to bear reproof from such source.
" A well tempered and timely Tebuke we can patient
ly submit to; and in pentential spirit we can kiss
the rod that scourges U.S. when our consclences tell
US, that deserve the 1ageIlation. But when Hn-
merited, and inflicted by those who have taught us,
both by precept and example, the hard ways OF trans
gression, rebel and turn upon oppressors.
The moral evil,, they call slavery they cherish
ed as long as it pro6table when it ceased to be
so, they shuff1ed it off 1t would be matter
of curiosity for one to inquire into the origin of the
fortunes of some of the most wealthy families of
Providence Boston, Salem, and other Easerncities.
1t would be found, that the largest fortunes have
been made in the traffic of human feSh-that what
they deny to be either chatteB or property, was
the of their wealth. and that the descendants
of these slave traders the most open=meuthed
brawling revilers of the very institutions rom which
their piraticaL fathers amassed all their money. We
have patience with this kind of people. Wedon't
feel like recrininating, using menacing and high
sounding language, telling them what the South can
and will do, for really believe that, considered
numerically, they, the abotionists, are very insight
fcant but many OF them, taken Individually, are
of note, and give tone to public sentiment, that
eventually will tell. They are generally men who
observant of the outward forms of religion lead
ing members of the church, vestrymen, elders. dea-
cons and class-leaders-men who strictly tenacious
in tithing mint and rue, and every herb, but who
pass over judgment and the charity of God.' These
the natural instincts of perverted heart and of
that spirit of uncharitabeness which discloses Sc a
multitude of sins.'' ~. o. Bulletin.

The Southern wings were determined, last night,
if possible to reverse the nomination of Mr. Cola
mer to the Post Office Department ;nor is remark

appear in certain quarters
In the Senate this morning, Mr.. Foote rose to
personal explanation of the collision between him and
Mr.. Cameron on Saturday last, or, rather, Sunday
morning. He was induced to explain from the mis-
representations of the public press. Two slight
blows passed between him and Mr.. Cameron, and
twenty minutes afterwards they were good friends
as ever; they were the result of the exciting scenes
of the night. He regretted that the committees have
to be elected again at the next session.
There were more than hundred baskets of cham
pagne wine independently of other liquors, consum-
ed at the grand Inauguration ball last night. This
morning, at the clearing, there fragments of
glass all over the supper room and the passages
and indications that Bacehus had held one of his
richest reves. There were upwards of $4,000 re-
ceived for tickets; the confectionery and cookery cost
81 300; the music $500; the pavilion $4,000, and
the fixtures will absorb all the money received, with
the exception of fifteen hundred two thousand dol
lars, which will be given to the Orphan Asylums of
w ashington. ~

the cabinet nominations have been confirmed. Objec-

The establishment of Schools at this
place has led TO the impression that the
public would no longer be permitted to
visit the Springs as a Watering place
No such injustice is intended. The
buildings appropriated 10 the Military
institute and those being erected for a
Female Seminary, are so far removed
from those occupied by visitors and from
each otTer-that the occupants of each
are free from interruption from the 9TH

Those who have visited these Springs
in former years, only need to be in
formed that the waters still possess un
diminished, the same medical qualities,
which first obtained for them the high
reputation which has been justified by
many years use. Those who have no
knowledge Of the place, are informed
that Sulphur, Soda, and Magnesia in
different proportions, are the principal
ingredients OF all the Springs but one
III which the SulPhuret Of Iron is combln-
ed with SuIpher, Magnesia and Soda.
