" la brief Brown!ow has preached at every

at every cross-road, and knows every man, wo.

Gotten Culture in Illinois.

One Of tho fruits Of the rebellion, which will
b. very bitter for the South, whatever may be
the immediate result Of the rebellion, is the
culture Of cotton elsewhere than in the cotton
States. Foreign n;.tians have already seen the
danger Of relying upon single country, or
belt Of country, for the staple upon .whic; the
commercial interest CT great kingdoms are 80
dependent, and have taken and ale taking
lncaseles every Gay to stimulate the growth Of
The cotton plant in pats of the globe not III
der The dominion of Jeff Davis. In our own
country movements are made III the same d.
roet,on. 1t has been recently shown tlat cotton
can bc grown in many States north Of the Gulf
CT Mexico, and just now facts in respect t., the
production Of this staple in iil!noiB are coming
10 liaht, ard attracting much attention In
TIC Southern part of that State cotton was
grown years ego, with as little difficulty as in
Tennessee, but since the perfection Of the ma
chinery ior spinning, it's cultivation has been
generally abandoned, it is saij, because,he peo-
PIE could buy the cloth cheaper than they could
proauca the plant and make it. is, however,
still cultivated. and cotton patches are quite
common 100 miles north Of Cairo, though with
oatsys:em, and only for home Use.
The Illinois Railroad Company have been
making Investigations relative to theadapta,ion
Of l4sds owned by them in the Southern part of
that State 10 the g"owlll Ct the cotton plant,
ana have ascertained that nearly bale, or 500
pounds to the acre, used t. be raised in the vi
entity Of Cairo, which 10 nearly the average
yield III good cotton regions further South. To
those who doub. whether the late fross, in the
S>rins and the early irosts in the Autumn will
net hazard the crop, it is replie,i that the fact
is iha. cotton is HOW raised in those localities in
small quantities, and the climate would not be
more unfayorablo to large cotton patches than
small ones.
IL is supposed that 5000 acres Of cotton
will be planted in illinois the ensuing season
and that State is sad to have 1000, 900 OF
acres that might bo probably devoted 10 the
cotton plant. The Government is cndeayorine
to get the seed, and it is said that quantity
will be obtained at Port Royal though muci
dou5, is expressed whether the quality of cotton
produced in the neig 'iborhood Of Beaufort car
be successfully cultivated in 50 high latitude a
Illinois. Doubtless the shorter staple cotton
sro"n upon the uplands, or he seed that coult
be procured in Illinois would be much bette
adapted to the climate Of that State.
OF the profSablencss OF the growth of cottor
ia Illinois, provided it can DC grown at all, ther
seems to be little question. 1t is an extraordi
vary good crop Of wheat from which iarme
realizes $40 an acre, and from crop Of cor
he realizes 10 more. Bat at tAt present price
OF cotton, il but fifty pounds could be raised lror
an acre, it wonld be as profitable crop as grain
and it would seem hardly possible that the Gro
could fall short Of four tImce dat amount.

Retrenchment.

The House of Representatives. mas nlaa' '''I r
move in the right direction IN the aooi'''U" ~
the franking privilege, and We are gao 10 lea"
that all the members from this State voted Win
the majority for the passage OF the o''i'
- no,r said. however, that the bill VIII DC HUI
fled in ths Senate, though we hope this freo'c'
zion will not be verified.
The action Of these who voted for receiving
+ho;r next session mileage at this session IS noV
vet fully explained, though an attempted Jes'i-
I.at,on OF it has been made on the ground t"at
it is not wrong to take money cut OF the 'lo'''
ury row that would, if tie member should !he'
be due next December. 1t is quite clear '"''
these " lo oHer this apology for an effort 70 se'
nav one wear in advance cut of treasury al
ready pushed By the pressure OF lmmeo'a's
wants 10 the verge Of bankruptcy, have no'"'''s
better to offer, or they would produce it. How
ever, the Iiousc has not taken up that little
speculation since 1t was land upon the table some
DAYS since, though We are sorry to kno" that
some Senators have succeeded IN getting this
mileage without the introduction OF legislative
action.
And while Congress las the matter OF re-
trcnchmcnt in hand why not look at some OF
the T.esquisites Of Congressman and oifcla's'
other ,ban mileage and the iranking privilege :
Las: year the Senators took OF Government
Stationery $3.50 worth each. They spent ior
news papers so each . miscellaneous, " neaS-
l. $500 each; Congressional G|ode, about $lcoo
each binding, $4,000 each. The expenses OF
the House were on y similar liberal scale. In
this way tie members Of Congress each year
draw out Of the United States Treasury more
than their salaries and mileage. Cannot som
retrcrchmcnt DO made here? Isn't it possible
lille they arc scolding and getting very justly
indignant at the jobbiug Of contractors, they
might very properly set a good example by
- contracting some Of their own enormous
perquistes? Has 10 Vermont member the
puck or the disposition to make move in that
direction?
