JUTE a SUBSTITUTE FOR CoTToN-GREAT
ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF IT.-Bv the
steamer Scotia, from Liverpool at New York,
we learn that jute has advanced full fifty per
cent, IN consequence of recent discoveries
winch show that substitute for cotton can be
manufactured from it. This article is known
as East India hemp; from it gunny bags and
gunny cloth are manufactured, and it can be
produced in almost any amount in British
India. In Boston and its vicinity experi
ments have been made over four wears, if not
a greater period, to produce an article from it
resembling cotton, and, so far as we are quail
lhed to Judge, the experiments are quite sue
cesS1ul; but Tor want of capital alone the eX-
penmenters have failed to bring it into use.
NOW that 1t has received the sanction of
Ule English manufacturers, no doubt our own
will recognize its value. The last quotation
OF Jute IN England before the recent demand
ranged from Elj to E23 per ton, as to quali-
ty, and in our own market it ranges from
$lO5 to Sis, while clean Russia hemp.
which is also in demand abroad is held here
at $3.50 S275 per ton. The import duty on
jute is SIS per ton.
1t will be recollected that when the war
took place between Russia, France, England
and Turkey, the English shipowners express
ed fears for their supply of hemp; but science
stepped in and showed that jute could be used
as substitute, and it has been so to a great
extent ever since.
Russia, the aggressor in that war, lost the
monopoly of hemp; and the rebels, by their
aggression in this war, may likewise lose the
monopoly Of cotton. If the speculative fever
reported by the foreign news continues, lutte
may dethrone cotton and slavery at the same
time Jute has been quite dull in our market
Tor some time, but will now be in speculative
standardization T1ayeller.

CAPT. IRA j. KELToN, of the 21st regiment,
died at the hospital in Washington last Fri
day night. Capt. Kelton was from Holden,
and served with the three months men.
When the 2lst regiment was formed he went
as second lieutenant of the Spencer company
Since then he has been promoted successive
ly to be first lieutenant of that company, and
captain OF the Fitchburg company. At the
battle of Chantilly he was severely wounded
and fell into the hands of the rebels, and after
wards was paroled, and transferred to a hos
pital in Washington.

delicate an ORDER to answer the requirements
of masculine beauty In death his eye was
the cleareSt blue, and would not part with its
surprisingly gentle, amiable, good, and charm
ing expression. The face was like piece of
wax, only that it surpassed any piece of wax
work.
One other young man, beardess yet but of
brawnier type, furnished another example
of slow decomposition. His face was not
quite as life-like; still one could easily fancy
him alive to see him any where else than on
the field OF carnage; and strange, his face
wore an expression of mirth, as if he had
just witnessed something amusing. A pain
full sight especially was the body of a rebel
who had evidently died of his wounds, after
lingering long enough at least to apply a
handkerchief to his thigh himself as a tourn-
iquet to stop the bleeding. His comrades
were obliged to leave him, and our surgeons
and men had so much else to do that they
could not attend to him in time. Perhaps
nothing would have saved him; but perhaps
again, little surgical aid was all he needed.
How long he dragged out his lessenng pulse
in pain no one can tell
One field especially was thickly strewn with
our dead, in which the Hawkins Zouaves 10Th
New York volunteers) were largely repre-
sented. Several members of the l03d New
York lay there.alSo. Away across the fields,
for Il mile our gallant soldiers had charged
and chased the cavalry, but afterward had
been obliged to retire before the enemys bat
teries, leaving ltheir fallen comrades on the
ground Every dead mans feet saw were
robbed of their shoes, and there were instances
OF our heroic boys being stripped of their pam
falcons Their arms and ACCOMPLISHMENTS were
invariably taken, of course. On the other
hand-I record it with sense of relief from
disgust at my kind-the cnemy's dead within
our reach lay just as they fell, untouched, ex-
cepting as their names might be sought after
on their clothes, or the buttons might be cut
otfby the soldiers for trophies or remembran-
ces of the field. God only knows what some
of our poor men have suffered before they
died. 1t is to be hoped that none, or few, at
worst, died lingering deaths.

CHARLES SUMNER,-An effort is being made
by the democratic press and the Boston Cou-
rier, assisted, we are sorry to say, by the
Springfield Republican, to shove Charles
Sumner out of the senate, and put softer
man there, For our part, we think Mr..
Sumner is more the representative man of
Massachusetts opinions and feelings than
any other man whom we could put into the SEN
ate, and we should regard it public calamity
to lose his services from the body where he
has so signally distinguished himself and the
commonwealth When he first entered the
senate the shareholders held tyranical sway
over that body, and he was treated with con-
tempt and insult by them and their north
ern sycophants. No man but one of the
tirmest heart and noblest soul that God
ever made could have withstood and defed
and defeated that powerful combination of
aristocracy and despotism which was deter
mined on his destruction. He was tabooed
by those lordlingS not merely because he was
an anti-slavery man, but because as such he
represented the high-souled state Of Massa-
chusetts. twas to humble her that her rep
resentative was made to bear insult and scorn.
1t was to let her know that she should not be
treated decently on that floor while she insist
ed on inscribing on her political banner "Lib-
eJfy and Union, one and inseparable, now and
forever" But Charles Sumner fought the
battle with boldness, energy, and earnest
ness. He never quailed before the miserable
upstarts in the senate, or the brutal bullies
out of it. Like Paul at Ephesus he fought
with beasts, and like him he conquered them.
But it was hard contest. He now remains
still bearing the Massachusetts banner, and
there, let Massachusetts say, he shall Yemaini
