wears, the exports Of cotton have diminished
from the port of New Orleans more than IL
per cent, and have increased from the port
of Charleston nearly l3 per cent. The in
crease at Charleston. and decrease at New
Orleans, was largest in the year 1870, after
the opening of the railway to Chalia noosa,
evidently showing The capacity of railways s
to draw the heavy trade from tn, irregular
navigation Of the smaller rivers Of the West.
The results will be, probably, equally sig
nifcant when the large tributaries Of the
Mississippi shall be reached by railways

The decrease at New Orleans in 1910 so
was from l,19l 900 to 797, 900 bales, while
the increase at Cha arles,on. during the same
time, was from 26l 600 to 3sl 900 bales.-

ANOTHER DESPERATE GANG OF
VILLAINS.

A late number Of the Shawnee'own Ad-
vocaie gives an account of the discovery
and arrest of gang Of villains, who have
carried on, for years past, a regular system
of Kidnapping slaves, forgery, thieving, and
perhaps murder. The desperate character
of these villains appears to have been only
equaIed by the gang which was recently
broken up in Michigan:
"Tfeir hcnd quarters wero on Wolre's
Island, KY. near the corner Of the States
of Kentucky. Tennessee, Illinois and Miss

since. through the failure OF an attempt BY

some $40 600 against New E. Wright,

In May, lS5O Wright gave Abc Thomas,
man of desperate character $3.50 to kill
Dr.. S. Accordingly Thomas, pretending
to wish the Doctor to visit his sick father
en'lccd him from home, and attempted To
murder hm; but the Dr., after being shot in
the ara, gave he alarm. and the desperate
escaped. Notwithstanding every exerlion
was made to ferret out the villain. so deeply
was the plot laid, that he was only ncclden'
tally discovered a short time ngo, and his
discovery led TO the disclosure OF the whole
affairs Of the compnny.
"Thcy seem TO have made n regular bu.
siness Df stealing slaves in one State, run
n;ng them of to another, and there selling
them. Another Of their modes of specu.
la'ng in negroes. seem to have been as
follows: Some of their cmissaries would
make a tour through some Of the neighborr
ing slave States. cnticing slaves to run
away and providing their victims with
means to ge, into Southern Illinois. Ar
rived there, the turiiives were arrested by
others Of the gang. on the Lookout for the
runaways fictitious claims to them were
then set up, and mainained by false tcs'l-
mony and perjury. The slaves were then
taken into one of the slave States and sold.
