His perspicacity, promptitude energy and thorough
acquaintance with parliamentary rules, have emf
neatly fitted him to preside over the deliberations
Of the Senate, all whose members respecA him for
his craftsmanship and admire him for bis generosity
and candor. Mi. Stephens is still more missed in
the social circles in which he has been accustomed

says:
The ellis incident to revolution ere in this city

which congrc gate in the Capitol Of Doth Sexes give
abundant evidence Of the rapid progress OF social
decentralization growing out Of the unhappy cond>

saying too much, aud can give you no adequate con-
ceptlon Of The ooseness Of morals that is becoming
prevalent among those whose necessities open the
gateway to al! vices Gambling such would
sartle habtues Of European watering places, is not
the worst Of the moral caarnilieS that has beallen
Richmond Not only do the Faro banks attract
"depositors" from civil and military classes Of So
ciely. but men who stand high, at least officially,
above Congressman ard Major Generals, nightly re-
sort to the magnificent gambling hclls Of Richmond
have visited such Establishments in Eastern and
Southern cities, but have entered none in which the
sprit of utter reckcssness strongly betrayed
as in those of this city.
The vice of gaming contracted in the army over
an "inuocent game Of old sledge" becomes the alb
sorbing passion of the ganestcr in the Faro banks
of Richmond. The hope Of sudden wealth, the in
satate love Of excitement The desperation resulting
rom the loss of fortune by the calamites of war,
the destruction of social restraints nnd the absence
of those which wives and children throw about men,
have all combined to fill the city with reckless
gamblers.
Women from all the States and cities Of the South
visit Richmond. They would reach the army. and
often lind IT impossible. They have not anticipated
the vastness Of the expenditures to which they would
be subjected. Their very necessities suggest a
course Of conduct which it is needless to portray.
Psnniless helpless unsdvised unrestrained by tbs
presence Of those to whom they are knowN they
resort to means Of securing assistance of which at
home they would never have dreamed Religion is
stranger among The floating population d Rich.
mond. Sunday in this CITY, is The day OF high car
nival for all vices. Patriotism might well weep
when bsholding this aspect Of the moral condition,

Mr. HoLyES:-Your correspondent A. B. sis

Justices of Union County to discard vaccinatinc
,octors Not so. sir; but for the reason thaA every
n'an, woman and little boy or girl in Union county
Knows how to vaccinate as we'll as the N. Us and
are doingit. Why, Sir, the negroes understand it.
The poverty OF the people here does not deprive
them Of every particle of sense, as A. B. seems to

Had the Legislature appropriated the IS per day to
some OF our patriotic old women, the Justices of
Union, for their sakes, would not have opposed it
The doctors, those who are worthy Of practice cat
enough to do, and don't need it.
A. b. has no doubt that every Justice of the

And to hear the rafting trumpet

For the stoutest held his breath,
While the hungry sea was roaring,
And the breakers talked with Death.
As thus we sat in darkness,
Each one busy in his prayers.
We are lost!' the captain shouted,
As he staggered down the stairs.
But his little daughter WHISPERED,
As she took his icy hand,

just the same as On tie land?
Then he kiss'd the little maiden,
And we spoke in better cheer,
And we anchor'd safe in harbor
When the morn was shining clear. >

COTTON CULTIVATION IN SENEGAL

COTTON CULTIVATION IN SENEGAL.
s.. The Paris correspondent Of the London 7imss
writes as follows: :
Accounts have been received In Paris from the
French settlement in Senegal to the 28th of De.
cember. Set eral merchants had commenced cotton
plantations on their own account, and others were
about to initiate them. Gotten produced from seed
sown in February last was gathered in November.
The seasons are SO regular in Senegal that cotton
growers DO not find it necessary to irrgate their
plantations. A-number Of farpers from Alsaco had
likewise arrived at Senegal to cultivate cotton and
had commenced operations. The French govern.
ment in order to encourage hecnltiva,ion Of cotton
among the natives had determined to place al the
disposal Of the chiefs of villages such instruments
and machines as are best calculated for the cuItva-
ton and dressing of the cotton plant The govern.
ment mas sent to Senegal an American ginning ma.
chlne, with cylindrical saws and keys like those of
piano. This machine was sent out BY the Minis
ter Of Marine, and press is likewise expected at
81 LOUIS. Inc ginning machine is hired out to the
pubic Tor trfng remuneration. 1t Is stated dlst
the cost OF carragS1 Of raw cotton is diminished
three'fourths by the Use of this machine. The
cultivation of cotton in Senegal is practiced it is
in the Brazils-that is, by the cotton tree, which
lasts from eight to ten years--whle in the United
States the cotton ID sown every year. and is gath
cred from the month of july until the plant is
killed by me frost As it never freezes in Senegal
the cotton tree lives Nevertheless according as
the tree grows old the quality becomes deterora,ed
On the other hand the cultivation is less expensive
and demands less, care than the cotton cultivated in
the United States. An objection raised agains,
the cultivation Of cotton in Senegal on the ground
that tie negroes accustomed to the ELEVATION Of the
oil nut (arachdr) would not give up the cultivation
of that crop with which they are acquainted for
| that of cotton which is new to them. It. is now
escetained, however, that the two crops, far from
being injurious to each other, may begrown in ths
same plantation In fact, while preparing ih'
ground for the arachide which does not rise highe
than trefoil, that cultivation prepares the greunt
for the cotton tree, which does no Injury to tn
arachide. Rows Of cotton plants may be sown il
field with arachldes"
