Total 1oo 2ol 1Oo 1897, si5 81 5s7, 1875 "a, $751; 2o5
The totals of these amounts for the first seven
months of the years 1856 and 1867 would almost seem
fabulous to one unacquainted with the intimate con-
nexon existing between the throne of Great Britain
and the looms of the cotton weaver. 1t is absolutely
marvellous to contemplate for moment the capital
invested, the number of people-men, women, and
children-employed, the ships freghted, the mer-
chants enriched and the hopes and fears of q 00O
900 of British subjects wrapt up in and by this al
most omnipotent product of southern slave labor.
The very aggregate totals are amazing thus, the ag
gregate value of cotton manufactures and yarns ncu
ding also cotton thread and stockings exported
during only seven months of 1857 amounted to
$ll3, ,40l ,OsO, against Sl0l ,994265 exported the
corresponding period of 1856
II further appears from the tables which we have
complied from the official returns with the most pre-
else accuracy that, had cotton been reexport-
ed from Great Britain during the seven months de-
signated, the total quantity deliverable for consump
ton. for that period would have exceeded the total
quantity imported the first seven months of 1856
534, ,l26 cwt., and the quantity actually consumed
1918, SOC cwt. Notwithstanding these actual results

cotton during the period under review compared
with the aggregate quantity imported the cores
ponding period of the preceding year-say 10000
bales-while it furnishes no adequate cause for the
'pancs" which have been chiefly got up by the
"cotton shriekers' of Exeter Hall, who know just as
much about the real condition and wants of the cotton
trade as they do about the real condition and wants of
the wellfed and wellcaredfor slave whose labor
tains it, is still sufficient to awaken among the intell-
gentmanuacturers of Great Britain spirit of
able and earnest inquiry to the probable chances of
reliance from other quarters should short crops

the United States, and thus derange for single
son, or even for single week, the vast and compli

NEWSPAPER UNION.

dated establishment upon permanent and most prof
liable foundation In the card announcing the union
the joint propretors say:

portion of our friends that the two democratic papers
published in the city of Atlanta should be united together
Yielding to these repeated solicitations the undersigned

amner respectfully that this union has been
consummated, the wishes of mutual friends grated, and
the energies that have heretofore been divided will here
after be concentrated and consolidated in the maintenance
of our well known principles.
This arrangement will involve tho necessity of an en-
argement of the size of paper and entire change
of its typographical appearance. We shall at early
day practicable obtain and beautiful type in order
to complete this improvement.

and commercial wants of the country The point of pub

COTTON TRADE or GREAT BRITAIN DURING THE
FIRST SEVEN MONTHS OF 1857

We are in possession of valuable official docu-
ment just issued by the British Board of Trade, rela
ting to the navigation and of Great Brit
ain during the first seven months Of the present
year. The import trade shows but little variation
compared with the corresponding seven months of
1856. In corn, tea, and cotton there is consider
able reduction in the quantities imported, while the
articles which show increase are fax wool wine
and silk, of which latter 6,506O00 pounds were i'm
ported, against 35s2OOO in the period in 1856
and 4,OOI 900 pounds in 1855. Our mercantile read
ers, however, feel most interest in that branch Of
British commercial industry which subsists on our
great southern staple, and we have therefore com
piled from the document before such facts as will
exhibit the cotton movements of Great Britain, both
as respects the importation of the raw material and
its expectation to the different markets of the world
after having passed through the mills and looms of
the manufacturing districts.

THE OLD MAN AND THE DoCToR An old man
complained to doctor Of bad digestion. "Oh,

1t Is one oi che concomtants of old age.' He
then stated his weakness of sight. "Don't
meddle with weakness of sight," said the doc
tor, " for that, also, is one of the concomitants

of hearing. ALIAS how distant is hearing"
said the doctor, " from old men. Difficulty of
hearing is steady concomitant of old aee.'-
tie complained to him of want of Sleep " How
widely separated, said the doctor, " are sleen
and old men; for want of sleep is certainly
a concomltant of old age" He complained 10
him OF decrease of bodily vigor "Tbis is,
an evil, y said the doctor, " that soon hastens
on old men ; for want of vigor is a necessary
concomitant of Old age." The old man (unable.
to keep his patience any longer) called out to
his companions -" Seize upon the BOBBY Law
hold OF the blockhead drag out the ignorant
idiot that dolt of doctor who understands,
nothing, and who has nothing to distinguish
him from parrot but the human figure, with,
his concomitants of old age, forsooth-the only
words he seems capable of altering" The
doctor smiled, and said -" Come, my old bow,
get into passion, for this, also, is concomi-.
tant of old age "
