The developments already made in the case of
the captured SLAYER Putnam place in pretty clear
light the character of that slave-trade the revival
of which has SO many warm advocates in the
Southern States. 1t is plain that this trade has
in no respect changed its character, except per-
haps by an increase of its atrocities, since the
period when ii drew down upon itself the execra-
ti0n of the civilized world, resulting in its prohibi-
ton by all Christian and by several Mohammedan
nations. Bryan Edwards remarks of the cargoes

Which is ihe Best Market

1t has been common practice fol
several years past, until quite late
ly, with a large number Of the
people Of Lincoln county, to make
Huntsville and Shelbyville the prom
inent points or headquarters Of their
trade, for m ost Of ..bQ articles needed
in the line of Groceries, and 10
some extent Dry Goods also. This
course has been followed reluctantly,
We are aware: but believing chat there
was a considerable saving in pur-
chasing at the points mentioned, the
heavy trade from this county has
very naturally flowed in those cham
uels, Now, however, even seem
ing necessity does not exist for such
a course, as it is we'll known, from
actual transactions, that Fayetteville
is to-day a cheaper market for pur-
chasets, than either OF the places
named. One case for the present
willsuf1ice: A getleman of this coun-
ty desiring to lay in bis usual stock
Of Groceries, visited Shtlbyville, in
accordance with the past popular
idea, and bought there. Upon his
return homie, without acquainting
our merchants with this purpose, be
compared the prices he had given
with those demanded here, and found
that precisely the same articles in
This place were sold for less price
than he had paid, to say nothing OF
his trouble of going over and return
ing, and paying for the hauling Of
bis purchases home. Ole such fact
in favor Of Fay etteyilIe, as the Lin
coin market, in preference to places
abroad, is worth a column of plain
argume nt.

Cotton-.Wfth the exception of few sales
to fill manufacturers orders, there is nothing
doing in the cotton market. The receipts OF
the new crop at this point amount 10 only
twenty-six bales up to this date. In the alb
sence of transactions upon which to base
quotations, we present the following, which
however, may be regarded as entirely nomi-
nal: Inferior 6@7. Ordinary IL @6lac, Low
Middhng $685. Middling 10@l0s,
The reports from the crop in Middle Ten
nessee are of very favorable character, and
the prosps ct now is that IT will be fully an av-
erage one, if it does not exceed that point.
Provisous--The quantity of bacon offering
is very light and the demand limited. We
quote clear sides at 7R@7M from wagons, with
a decline of sSc.on last weeks prie es. Joints
are scarce and in moderate request for home
CONSUMPTION at l0o for hams and 6l96Ic for
prime shoulders.
Lara--The supply OF lard is about equa to
the demand, and we quote 9@914c. according
to quality and packages.
Grain and hour--During the past few days
there has been less disposition among buyers
to take hold of wheat. and the market has
been somewhat dull in consequence. The
fact of navigation being closed, and. the de-
preston Of Breadstuffs in the Northern and
Southern seaboard- markets, has had the effect
of lowering our figures for common and lDfe-
ror lots, which we quote at 40@6O. a prime
article of red would command Toe, though
there is but little offering that reaches this
standard Prime white would command soc.
s Country flour in sacks, has given way. and
we hear of sales from wagons at 81 COOL 70
per sack of 100 lbs for good superine. Extra
family is still held at 5@5 so per bb.b by our
millers.
Groceries-The trade in groceries has
been to fair extent at prices current iast
week. and we repeat or quotations as follows:
Sugar 81 ollie in hhds: and l0@l11a in hhls;
MoIasses 35@3Sc IN bbls, aud $50 4Oc III bail
bbls; Golden syrup 90@l Zoe; Rio coffee IL
@l2Ec. sf5
: sBaggine and Bale Rope-We quote Ten
nessee Baggiug az 22c. Kentucky lS@ 2oc,
and India zoe. Rope 9I@1et.
Feathers and Ginseng Feathers are in de-
mand at 500 45c for live geese, when put up
in good shipping order. .
Ginseng finds ready sale at 40945c.
| Leather aud hides-The market is well
supplied with leather. which. We quote as fol-
lows: Oak and hemlock tanned ssle and har-
ness 27@2Sc; skirting SOC: upper S27@5 per
dozen; dry hides are worth s@loc, and green
sc per ID. ~

The Genet. Again

The improvements 10 the telescop
have shown Us among other thing;
that this world pursues lis mill bors
journey around thesun amid more per-
lis than mortality dreamed Of before il
near sightedness was cured by Her
schel. Previous to the seventeenth
century, in the early part Of which
Gallileo magnified the upper orkso
creation one thousand times, nothing
was known Of those celestial rowdies
the comets, beyond the Information
derived through the naked eye
Now, thanks to the progress Of
science, we are aware that the high
ways of heaven are as foil Of the
these nuisauces as the Mississippi is
of snags and sawyers, and that ii
collision with one Of them is by
no means impossible. In fact, their
visible number increases so fast that
the additions can only be accounted
for by assuming that a manufacto-
ry Of comets exists in some remote
region of space, and is every now
and then launching new specimen.
No telescope Of a mhgnifylng power
equa! to Herschel's ref 9ctor, flu
ished in 1895, has since been con-
structed, and yet the tale of the com
etary family has nearly doubled
within a few years. The prospect
is, If the Increase should continue
in the same ratio, that comets will
eventually be as thick in some parts
of the solar system as pick,pockets
at mass meeting. IN that ease. ac-
cidents will be inevitable, and We
cannot reasonably expect that the
vehicle known as Terra FiTma will
escape unharmed. Its highly prob
able that the satellites Of neighbor
Jupiter were twice damaged by col
lision with one Of these royers OF
ths skies, during the last century,
Lexen's comet put in It's zone, two
among the Jovian train 10 lT69
and l719, with such force that 1t
was thrown out of its orbit by the
recoil Of the blow. Nay, more
this same comet made dash at the
earth in ITO, and only missed our
planet by about one and half mil
liou.of miles-a mere triile in that
region of magnificent distances
known as "space." Nor is this the
worst. Another comet, whose name
awells not in our remembrance, ran
across our track in lS43, and, had
the earth been two weeks ahead OF
time on her annual trip that year,
there would have been shocking &C.
cident which would have quite over
whelmed the reporters. Eight com
cts wbisked their tails within our
telescope field of vision in the yeal
1876, and thousands of these reck-
less eadabouts periodically visit the
planetary system, so that il is rather
surprising than otherwise that the
earth thus far, or at least since the
deluge, has escaped a brush from a
comets caudal appendage.
Saeh an event is not impossible
indeed. it is scarcely improbable :
and there is no knowing how soon
The Parce may snap that iiIamen'
in the web of fate upon which hang
our destiny.
