TIE COTTON AT PORT ROYAL.

THE COTTON AT PORT ROYAL.
Mr.. Reynolds, the agent sent by the Sec
Ietary of the Treasury to Port Royal, to take
charge of the cotton on the islands in that
vicinity, returned here yesterday. He had
a long interview with Secretary Chase last
night. He says he has already secured about
a million of dollars worth of cotton. He
has now in his employment about 5000 ne.
groes, who are at work on the different
Islands, gathering cotton. He says they are
badly clothed, and one of the objects Of his
mission is to procure three or four thousand
suits of clothes to take back with him. He
also wants four or five good physicians. He
says the negroes work very well, and attend
to their labors properly. He also wants a
steamer of small draft to ply between the
islands. The Secretary will probably ar
range for the articles which he requires, and
have them dispatched at once.

Fun IN the white House-

One Of the saddest evidences of our social de
moralization n a people. and the depth and ex
tent Of that generalization. Is seen in the utter
Inconsistencies Of the rum and misery OF the
country which prevails IN Washington. That
uneonscioesness seems 90 environ the White
House No womanever had better opportunity
to show how much patriot mother could DO for
her country than Mrs. Lincoln. Ii is said that
the golden opportunity is thrown away. The
New York Tribune says:
Mrs. Lincoln Is engaged in qualifying herself
for the more delicate exigencies OF her elevated
station. Sbe Is about 10 resume. under cOmpe

in other and similar ways, Mrs Lincoln proposes

she is already distinguished, and which suPply-to
the salons of the White House its most brilliant
adOrnmeuts.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York EceHing Post. referring to the prevailing
gaety and thoughtlessness in the national CAPT
tai, says:
From Mrs. Lincoln driving in her gaudy
coach and Mr. Lincoln, amusing himself with
Young officers dancing gayly at the balls, every
one seems to consider the present time one Is,
pecially created for amusement. There is not
the slightes; seriousness anywhere, that | have
been able TO discover; it is all fun. And any one
who looks speaks earnestly of The critical con
ditioL OF affairs is regarded as bure by all but
some of the few older heads The mournful
faces all at the homes that the has made
