The Montgomery Mail has been shown a
sample of cotton raised by D. c. Gordon, of
Wilcox county, Alabama, from seed imported
from Nicaragua. The Mail states that il has a
silky appearance, with a fibre of extraordinary
length, and good judges pronounce tworth 20
cents per pound. The seed are quite small;
the cotton easily gathered. and 1900 pounds
of seed cotton yield 500 pounds of lint.

with regard to his conduct about the treaties
Tie ''mcst favored nation clause was added
tothe treaty negotiated by Mr.. Reed; there
fore, argue his friends he could have no mo-
tive to prevent the British or French from OBJ
tanning any number of privileges. On the con-
tr5ry, it would be to the interest of his country
to favor their efforts. We have no high opin

Why reliance should be placed on the state

FRENCH ANNExATIoN.-The federal council
of Switzerland recently adopted resolution by
Which the valley des Dappes is sold to France
for the sum Of $4,000 francs For about forty
years that valley has been neither French nor
Swiss, and on recent occasion the police of two
countries were not able to lay hold of male
factor, who, having taken refuge in the centre
of :he valley, assumed BY turn the quality of
French and Swiss citizen, to suit his purpose.
Tie valley also cuts the road which, leading
from Des Rousses to Gex, via La Faucille, puts
one of the extremities of the French terri
tory in communication with Franche- Bomte.-
Fos Switzerland. on the contrary, there existed
no pressing or extraordinary demand for the
strip OF territory. The canton of Vaud, being
the former proprietor of the valley, has to give
its final sanction to the offer of France, and it
is generally thought that some opposition to the
measure will be manifested in the grand coun-
