A CHEERING SIGHT.-In connection with the
fact that Cotton is King" in city, or is to be
hereafter. VIC mention n circumstance that would
have gaddened the hearts of many Of our citizens
who have patiently waited, for years past, for the
the promised good time coming" if they had
been present yesterday to see the sight. Late in
the afternoon we saw approaching our harbor from
the canal a propeller steamer, having on board II
tolerablc large supply Of cotton, and Immediately
behind her was very large barge loaded down
nearly to the punwales with the same staple.
which piled upon her deck some six or eight
feet high, and following her was another, which
appeared to have Il cargo of corn in her hold with
n deck load of cotton; and still another with cot
ton stacked up as high she could well carry it.
We thought to ourselves on seeing this sight, sure
ly the Mississippi must have broken loose, and
empticd her cuton into Norfolk instead of New
Orleans. We have been since assured that there
is "plenty more where this came FROM" and re-
quested to say to our merchants if they will visit
the planters of that seet oftener, that such
sights will lecomc every day occurrences.

The PINE Woop TRArFIc-For many years
past a large business has been carried by the
dealers in Virginia pine wood, between the vari
Gus ports in Virginia and Jersey City. No less
than one hundred schooncrs have been engaged
making trips once in every nine days The price
formerly paid for wood per cord averaged from
Sl.50 to 50, which readily brought in this market
80 30, and sometimes even as high as IS. Rccen-
fly, however, wood ha. become scarce along the
Potomac and Rappahannock rivers, and the bust
ness is chiefly confined at the present time to the
James and York rivers. Wood at the various Ian
dngs along the latter rivers is getting sc0rce and
the price paid now is 81 per cord. Many of the
dealers complain that they cannot make any prof
IT. and consequently have withdrawn their vessels
and placed them in the general freighting busi-
ness.-N. Y. Com. -
