the benevolent residents of that city to look after the

home soon, and probably thought she could weather
It out; but it was a bitter cold night and Wednes-
day morning her released spirit had winged its way
from sorrow here to another and we hope d better

.
The first receipts from 1874 to 1850 were from the
Mississippi Valley In July, 1851, the first bale re-
ceved was from Texas. In 1852 and 1853 the first
was from Mississippi in 1854 the first was from
Texas in 1855 the first was from Mississippi and in
1856, the last year. from Texas.
The first receipt of new crop this year, five bales,
was from Texas by the steamer Opelousas.
Those $4,000 bales which were to be in our market
this month, according to " Antelope'sn advces to
the Manchester Guardian, are anyiously looked for
by the Manchester spnners; but we think they will
look in vain, and hereafter place confidence in their
regular correspondents in this city, provided such
correspondents are not connected with some of the
wiseacres who have figured largely in print in New
York the past Whether the illusions OF par
ties which have from time to time, during the past
season, emanated from New York, and who have
commercial connections in this city are approved by
those connections or c0partners, cannot say but
there is some explanation due to those who placed
reliance on the strongly supported estimates of
5000 600 and 100000 bales, even as late as the
month of March last which were forwarded from
New York Now, then, to cut long dissertation
Short did we not in the month of October last, take
the figures of 100000 to 2950,000 as our basis
and did we not maintain them through the entire
season? and how much are we out of the way? The
question is answered by figures. Though we are con-
sidered by some of the very wise Ones" as an old
fogy, we can exult that our estimates, predictions
and figures for ls56a most eventul year in cotton
have proved just and correct.
