Alta recent meeting Of the Cotton Plant
ar's ,Associstions held at Macon, Georgia,
sn interesting paper WAS read on the CONE
rercial influence Of acotton; considered in ito
relations to the trade and industry or the
world The memoir was drawn up by 4
committee appointed for the purpose con-
sisting Of Messrs.. Rogers, Davis, Hilman,
Rumph and Delvin. Taking for the basis
of their calculations the estimate Of Mr..
Marcy, when, as Secretary Of State. in ODE
dience to request made by the House Of
Representatives, he submitted report in
which he placed the average value Of the
annual cotton crop Of the United States, at
$lOO, 200, 600, the committee add to this
sum 1913 ,O00, 900 as the value Of the cotton
crop produced in other countries-thus sta
ting the total production Of the world at
1888, 900, 600. Surprising that Of the pro-
duct thus raised in different countries an a.
mount to the value Of $50, 900, 900 is re-
tanned at home for the purpose Of immedi-
ate domestic consumption this is about
the amount. according to the best data at
tsinable by the Committee-they assume as
the basis of their first departure in estima-
ting the commercial power Of cotton, tina,
at least 500, 600, 900 worth Of the raw ma
terial enters into the commercial exports Of
world. As these exports imply an import
Of equal value in the way of exchangeable
commodities, the commercial power Of cot.
ton in this primary aspect rises to the sun
of $500, 900, 900. s.',
But the manufacturing countries, which
require greatly enhanced value, gives the
cost Of the raw material. The increased
value is moderately estimated BY the Com.
mittee at six times the original price Of the
commodity. All Of this manufactured cot
ton is not needed for home consumption
and according to the best tables, it is est
mated that more than one-sixth Of the cot.
ton imported into manufacturing countries
is re-exported in the shape Of the manufac.
tured article, which thus lends itself anew
TO- the promotion ofcommerce. The skilled
labor expended on the portion thus re-ex-
ported gives to it the value Of at least $780,
600, 900, which determining in return an
import to an equal amount, adds at least
Woo, 900. 900 to the commercial exchanges
of the world, insomuch that il the light OF
these statistics, the Committee estimate that
the immediate influence Of cot on in sup
porting and maintaining the commercial &C.
tivity Of civilized States is represented by a
sum not less, in round numbers, than $780,
600, 0O0. per annum.
It is obvious that this calculation may be
indefinitely extended in its industrial appli-
cations and connections, in order to show in
all its relations and bearings the politico-e-
economical Importance Of cotton, considered
as an element in the great web of human
affairs. National Intelligencer

The old tomb, or rather, part fit, where

river, is still standing. 1t. opens to the
northward and is built of rather soft VIII tie
sandstone. This also, We learn, is to be

tomb was fxed upon by Washington in his
lifetime
The building appears to be in the style Of
the reign Of George the 3D. The garden
is surrounded by wall surmounted, by a
railing, which is in process Of renewal
There are at the corners four very pretty
small octagonal seed houses, with arched
roofs, rounded like a dome these are now

signed them; and with the very tools i'm

A SHOCKING MISTAKE. shocking mis-
take was made near Brandon, Miss, on the
night Of the 10th inst. A letter to the
New Orleans Picayune says of it:
Sometime in the night Mrs. jackson, wife
of Jordan A. jackson, had occasion to 90
to the window Of the room in which they
were sleeping. leaving Mrs J. asleep. The
raising Of the window awoke him, and he
instantly seized his gun, which was near
his bedside, supposing that some one was
trying to break into the house After Mrs.
J. had let down the window, she advanced
toward the bed. Mrs. j. called out twice
to stop, or he would fire. but she still ad-
vanced, and he fired, when she was near
the muzzle Of the gun, the whole charge
entered her breast, and she fell dead on the
floor. He then felt in the bed for his wife,
to tell her he had killed some one, when not
finding her, the truth flashed upon him that
he had shot his own wife He Immediate
ly rushed out of the house, and soon return
ed with some Of Che neighoors, when the
awful spectacle before them revealed all.
