CoTToE SHIPMENTS NoRrH.-The Phila-
deiphia North .Hmerioan, Of November "a, has
the following reference to the inland movement
Of cotton, which promises the present year, IN
consequence Of the direct railway connection
with the southwest, to make decided progress.
During the wear ending August 31st last, the
Cine matt Chamber OF Commerce report states
that there was received at Cincinnati 1920
bales Of eotton-the highest quantity At any
previous year being % 900 bales in 1876. OF
the first named quantity, $500 bales were ship
ped up the Ohio river, and 35,f00 bales were
sent BY canals and RAILWAYS norihward. Phil
adslphia received, in 1858, 1860 bales Of cot
on By railroad from the West. but for 1859.
we are unable 10 say what quantity has 50
cone it viii probably 20 above twenty thou
sand bales. But the largest receipt Of cotton
for the northern interior is now over the I'LL
NOS Central Railroad. Il is stated that forty
one cars were loaded az Cairo, with cotton, IN
a single day OF last week, ard 2 700 bales were
sent over the whole line Of the road during De-
tober for the factories Of western New York.
The record Of transactions in cotton is not cur
rently given at s.. Louis or Cincinnati, az Il
should be, and still more important is The ex-
istiug neglect TO note the direction shipments
take from Memphis, which is the great Gotten
mart for the production Of Tennessee and part
OF AAktn1da- lue shipments ION memphis
for rhe week ending October 22d are definitely
given, however, and they stand az 1889 bales
10 New Orleans 10 4,407 sent northwari BY
river, Of which 1,649 bales went to St. Louis,
and 2,T5S to the Ohio river and Cincinnati
Whether there are other shipping ports FROM
which cotton goes nnrthward we are not aware,
nor whether the Kentucky railroads carry it.
Probably $50 900 bales Wil so reach the man
ufacturing establishments Of this city and the
aam-H~~~ - - - E.
1889, since 10000 bales Of last years crop
came to Cincinnati alone. The western com
mercial interests viii oblige rs by making hote
OF this new trade, andy pushing it with vigor.

The sugar Crop.

We have reached that point, in the fail.
where a probable estimate may be made Of
the present sugar crop.
Tit agreeable a~nticipati0ns Of a large Weld.
which many entertained in the SUMNER, have
been dissipated BY the casualties Of the sea
son. Throughout the entire sugar region, the
complaint is general that the cane is small
and u~npromising. The cane first ground
lacked the usual amount OF saccharine rich
ness; and the juice produced a less amount Of
sugar than had been anticipated.
White trosts have now been felt on almost
every plantation devoted 70 sugar culture.
and so far the effect has been beneficial, a. il
has srres-ed The growth Of The cane. Our
exchanges agree in stating that great ineqIaI-
ifV avists IN the croP. even on adjoining nlan-
t~atons; one presenting full development Of
he cane, and promising one and a half to two
hogsheads to the arpent, while on an adjoining
place not more than half a hogshead is autitf-
pated.
This condition Of the sugar crop seems to
exist in the entire sugar growing districts.
With the most favorable weather, II is scarce
" probable that more than an ordinary crop
can be made. The estimate Of 100000 hogs
heads, which was published sons months
since, is, therefore, a figure considerably
above what viii be realized. Some obssryant
planters regard 100000 ho-sheads as nearer
the actual result which may be recorded when
the cane fel0s are harvested. Perhaps favor
able weather may bring the fgrre up to
$4,000. L is well this early in the season to
be assured that a large crop is impossible.
The sugar which is made is, however, OF a
beautiful appearance, and generally Of a
superior qualty.-NeD Orleans PieayHne.

II I could persuade nv heart 70 become a.
wicked as The hearts Of Wm. II. Seward, Ger
rit Smith, Joshua r Giddings, Wendell Phil
lips and company, / should wish that the
planters Of the South could OF would suspend
the cultivation Of cotton FOR but three short
years. mean cotton produced BY aegro slave
labor. Such a wish would bstrsy a heartless-
ness totally incompatible with civilized hu-
manity-sn appetite for feasting rpon lunar
suffering Beyond any Of which We read in the
annals of civilized nations.
Suppose that New England, Ola England and
France were not TO receive a bale OF cotton,
produced BY slave labor, for but three years,
and what would be the condition Of Thousands
on thousands Of operatives who are nov made
comfortable BY their labors in cotton faefo-
res. and have no other means Of support F.?
The mind siekens at the thought Of such a
state Of abjeet poverty and suffering among
those thousands on thousands Of operatives
both 10 America and Europe. But would the
evil resulting from the suspension Of cotton
planting stop with the Wretcheduess It would
bring upon the operatives Of the few States Of
America and Of Europe? Let us examine but
a little.
Without cotton to manufacture into goods
what would become Of the manufactures (? OF
what use would they be 10 their owner? ?
Would they not be dead property, not worth a
cent, FOR the time; and would not the distress
extend to the merchant whose principal trade
is In cotton goods? And not only 70 the mer-
chant, but his clerks, and through every class
Of people who make up cotton goods FOR a
living, and those who purchase and wear
themP
But, suppose a total suspension Of cotton
planting in the South beyond the immediate
wants Of the planters themselves, how many
large fortunes would rot down in the decay Of
cotton factories; and where would civilized
man find a substitute for cotton goods? Carry
out the heartless fahaiicism Of Seward, Smith,
Giddings, Phillips & Co, IN the abolition Of
slavery in the South, and the operatives Of
England, France and the free States Of
America, the owners Of manufactures, the
merchant, the farmer, and every class Of peo-
pie who make use Of cotton goods, would
curse the day that brought such heartiess IA
naties into the worldi-fanatics who would
tare the slave from his master, BY whom he il
FED and clothed, and provided with a physi-
clan in sickness, in order 20 bring abject pow
erly, such as the world has not known, upon
hundreds Of thousands Of white people, whose
comfort depends upon the Manufacture and
use Of cotton goods. Have such men souls g.?
Are they not worse than the highwayman who
puts his victim out Of the reach Of human suf-
feTing? CAROLINA

England and France In Collisions
War Preparation


The London correspondent Of the New York
Tines writes as follows
The attitude OF France, in spite OF all the
professions Of desire for peace, continues to
occasion considerable uneasiness. Everybody
who has mixed during the last three months in
French society, civil CT military, has derived
the same impression as to the coming policy
Of the Imperial Government. Enormous naval
preparations Of all kinds are making everv-
where, and Thoughtful Frenchmen, who ven
ture 10 speak candidiy to their English friends
or c1nneci ions, aTow that they look with daily
increasing wonder at the sort Of ind fer
ence and triding with measures Of defense
noticeable here. One and all tell the same tale
Of the popular desire in France for a great
struggle with England; and an express their
belief that, having once ssted the intoxicating
cup Of military fame, their egotistical master
viii never forego the dream Of avenging his
uncle's fan untilhe has fairly measured swords
with ne. II such, indeed, be not bis secret
thought, it is inconceiyablo what object be can
propose % himself BY the vast ornaments at
sea De goes Oh preparing. One fact on this
head came within my observation only Yester-
day. Mr. NJ, an eminent English engineer,
tod a friend Of mine that he had seen an offer
made this month 70 a ship-huilding firm az
Newcastle FOR fifteen steel-clad gun-boats, to
be ready within a given period, FOR the use Of
the French Admiralty. As each Of these
vessels would probably cost fl50,0O0 TO f200,-
600 il is evident hat no consideration Of ex-
psase is likelyto limit the preparation making,
and this, be it remarked, is but a supplemental
item.v
