Destruction of Cotton.

All accounts from the Lower Mississippi agree
in representing that the Southern people are de-
stroying their cotton wherever il is in danger of
falling into the hands of the FEDERAL forces Last
week the Provost Marshal of Memphis com
menced to burn the cotton in that region. and be
fore the surrender of New Orleans 80, 900 bales
were DESTROYED in that city alone. All along the
river between Memphis and New Orleans and for
some distance in the interior the torch has been
applied, and millions of dollars worth of the
great staple consumed On the 9th ult the fol-
lowing very brief address from Beauregard was
published in the Memphis papers:
ITO Planters South:
The casualties of war have opened the Mis-
sissippi to our enemies. The time has therefore
come to test the earnestness of all classes and
call all patriotic planters owning cotton in the
possible reach of our enemies TO apply the torch
to it without delay or hesitation.
&c. L. BEAUREGARD."
No doubt many of the planters are compelled
to destroy their cotton by the military authorities;
but in most instances it is done voluntarily,
owing to the very general impression prevalent at
the South that the Federal army will confiscate
the article wherever they can obtain possession
of il. 1t mades very little pecuniary difference
TO the planter whether he burns the cotton him
self, or retains it subject to seizure by the inva-
ding army. He is bound to lose In any event.
All of which IS another illustration of the brillian

no proof, for the air = heavy with public and
private guilt. A few years ago, high Austrian
official, whose Peculations were discovered, APP
piled the lAnosi To his own veins, and another,
similarly situated, hanged himself There IS no

FOE such conduct, and the verdict would be &C
cepted in good faith.
The SOutherners, as a class, had very nice
sense of honor so far as the public treasury was
concerned. Floyd was an exception-almOst a
solitary exception-to the rule When they held
the power here there was comparatively little
thieving. and when any was discovered it was
promptly exposed and denounced. There has
been a change fearful change for the worse.
The frauds and attempted frauds on the treasury
in one channel and another, come so fast, aud
from such unexpected quarters, that one is be
widered in contemplating them. Yet nobody
has been brought To justice, and nobody seems TO
think il possible that any body should be brought
justice "Oh. those rascally contractors" says
some honest man in the rur districts. For
every dollar wrongfuly taken by contractor,
five have been taken by public servants.
This certainly is alarming. Why is it tolerated

The East and the West.

While the West has severely felt the pressure
of the war, and while its principal products, corn
and pork have been soldat unprecedentedly low
prices, the East, and particularly New Englrnd,
has been enjoying season Of remarkable and
unusual prosperity. The New York Herald
gives list of dividends of the leading manuiac-
turing corporations which in the aggregate repre-
sent a capital of twenty five millions. The half
yearly dividends amount to upwards of million
collars. averaging fully eight per cent. per an
mum. The amount of dividends paid on the
same stock last midsummer only S5l7 900.
Facts like these speak ilieir own comment, and
yet it is said they only partially represent the
gains of the last six months; for many of the
corporations, after paving liberal dividend, have
added handsome amounts To their reserved funds.
-Chicago Tribune
Just as We said few days ago, the East is en-
Joying itself while the West pays the piper. The
East furnishes army supplies, and the West will
be called upon one of these DAYS to foot the
bills, besides being deprived Of the ability to
meet them by depreciation in prices The East
can afford to let the war go on, while the " est
has anything left to pay for it.-Gaiena Courier.

The Boston Journal has a letter from Pitts
burg Landing, dated April 90, wherein the writer
SAYS:
1t is raining hard to day Yet as look along
the river bank see thousands of sacks of meal
and barrels of bread exposed to the rain. Near
10y is quantity of moldy coffee, wet in some
former shower and poured upon the ground
Many OF the sacks OF meal have burst by hand
ling, and bushels wasted. Yesterday no
ticed a teamster give half bushe OF oats 10 a
mule. The animal ate perhaps four quarts, and
the remainder wasted. He had had enough
oats, or, as the farmers say, he was cloyed and
refused them. 1t is waste everywhere. No one
thinks of economy. No one cares to save any
thing So from millions of streams flows the
treasure of the people o, We thrifty farmers
and mechanics OF New England, who are taught

you could but see the broken wagons, the dead
horses, the harness. saddles, equipments, the
tents, baggage kicked about, knocked about,
stripped, torn, battered, thrown aside, abandoned,
you would raise universal cry of Indignation.
But let me inform YOU that Indignation amounts
To nothing. What does an irresponsible team
ster care for mulesl Ii is his prerogatve to
thrash them 10 pound them over the head, to cut
them up with lis tremendous whip, To bang
wagons over logs and stumps regardless OF cOnse-
quences. NOBODY calls him TO account. What

hand. Besides. ever before the eyes of a military
commander shines the dazzling. delusive light
glory IN the field. There is a patriotism at home,
but it is modified in the army. Understand me-
Our soldiers, our officers, will fight bravely he

Monday curious Spectacle was presented near
the Federal Capiiol--about sixty contrabands, of
every age. and condition, marching under
military escort to the contraband head quarters
on Capitol Hill They were mainly from Caro-
line county. Virginia, and about Fredericksburg
and were brought up last night on the steamer
from Acquia Creek. 1t is noticeable tina. "like-
ly boys and valuable girls" are few in these
crowds of contrabands
They are mainly lame or decrepid men, and
mothers with infants and very young children
not easily run off by fleeing masters The con.
trabands are rapidly accumulatlng in the District
and seemed to be maintained at the public ex-
pense until white people hire them. This is a
very serious and improper drain upon the public
treasury, for many feeble and so encum-
bered that they cannot earn living This Dis
trict bids fair to become National asylum for
