New Cotton Movement.
The Bombay Ga4eHc Of Nov %, says

The Bombay Gazette of Nov %, says
" The cotton merchants in England will be
glad to hear that the Nianis government has
coded to us all the rich cotton producing coun-
tries, including Behar, On the left bank Of the
Godaycry"
This new territorial acquisition has peculiar
significance and Importance at the present time.
1t mas long been evident that the far sighted men
who have built up and maintained the manufac
turing greatness Of Eng4nl, were looking in
every direction with the determination to get re-
lief from their state Of dependence on the cot
ton planters OF this country. Asia and Africa
have both been studied with great care as posi-
Bile producers Of a good staple, and we know
that many are sangune of a favorable result
The country nov acquired is in the central part
OF Southern India, known formerly as tho Dec
can 1t is celebrated for its fertility, cotton be-
ing among its natural predictions, though the
staple is not equal to ours, which has been trans
planted with COED degree Of success The re-
gion is well situated fol commercial commune
cation Taken in connection with the present
aspirations of the cotton States to found new
conlederacy based on their one idea of their one
product, and with the comments thrown out by
the British press, this new territorial acquisition
in India becomes unusually significant. And
here we may remark that while the British gov
eminent has abandonN the direct encourage
ment of cotton, producing in India as has been
recently stated, the statistics of export show
that the production By private enterprise is an
nually increasing.

to attend, but DOLLY part Of them would accept
his invitation although very urgently pressed
on account of the above mentioned difficulty with
their husbands. The Colonel was irritated by
their non attendance, and declared they should
have no escort However, he partially chang
ed his mind and gave them an escort, but only
for SIX days, which brought them to just wher
