The Democracy could not possibly be
in position more favorable to future sue
cess than that which it now occupies. So
strong in numerical force, os to forbid all
thought of abandoning its organization,
and therefore safe from the demoralizing
influences which party weakness is apt to
generate; made up of men whose courage
and integrity have been found proof
against threats and prosecutions, as we'll
as bribes and Establishments, and there
fore to be relied on in any emergency of
the future; and, withal, relieved of any
responsibility for the existing state of the
country, or for the measures which may
be adopted in the present awful condition
of public affairs, it stands on the high
road to victory, and if it does not achieve
it, the fault will be its own, and the fail
ure objectionable.

AN EXTRAORDINARY SToRY.-.-A Nash
vile paper tells an extraordinary story
of an occurrence at the siege of Atlanta,
Ga. The city had become accustomed
to the bombardment; business and plea
sure were suspended, and dullness
reigned. Some officers, to relieve the
monotony, arranged for masque ball
at one of the hospitals. One lady who
attended was murdered by an officer
of high rank, but his name has never
been revealed. She was found strangled,
and an inquest was held and several
parties implicated in the crime. The
evacuation of the city, however, inter-
rupted the course of justice, and the
tragedy passed into mere whisper and
gossip The Confederate Maj. General
Wharton, whose name had become
somewhat associated with the murder,
was not in Atlanta at the time. Most
of the officers, and many of the ladies
who attended that ball, are now in their
graves, and the murderer probably will
never be Judged on earth.

oversight he had not been locked in his
cell, as is the custom with Sheriff Sand.

GAME-A correspondent Of the New
York Tribune, writing from Richmond,

GAAE-A correspondent of the New
York Tribune, writing from Richmond,
says of the game on James river
"On both sides of the river, game in
abundance is seen. The passengers say
that the woods are overrun with hares,
squirrels, partridges, foxes, wild turkeys,
Wild ducks, miuks, raccoons, opossums,
and all the species of Southern game.
Their astonishing increase is attributed
to the fact that nearly all the sporting
fraternity were driven into the war, and
those who remained at home could not
get powder and shot for fowling purpo-
ses. The domains and ranges OF the
game are extended by the desolation of
war and the exodus of the freedmen.
Never, says one semi-elegant journal
list, never, since the axe first invaded
with its echoes the somber repose of the
primeval forest has there been such a
rich promise of sport to the huntsman.
Hares, squirrels and partridges throng
the lands of the farmer, and often is his
good dame aroused at night by the
elamor of her fowls, loudly proclaiming
the unenVied presence of the hungry
mink or weasel Many a saucy coon
or grave possum, long released flom the
pursuit of cuffee, nov ests persimmons
in tranquility and peace of mind, with
nobody to make him afraid. Aud the
cunning fox, aware that the Virginia
gentleman has no spare bed to feed
pack of idle, lazy hounds, and no horse
out condemned United States ones to
ride upon, throws up his heels in broad
daylight.

CoTToE IN ILLIEoIs--The cotton crop,
as we learn from exchanges, is the larg-
est ever raised in Illinois, and is rarely
excelled in what ia known as the Cotton
States. The product per acre this year
will range from one thousand to fifteen
hundred pounds seed cotton. The
quality is good-frst rate, as compared
with the upland cotton in the South.
We have heard it estimated that Jack
son county alone will produce ten thou
sand bales, while Perry, Williamson,
Saline, and Union counties viii more
than double this amount The weather
this fall has been particularly favorable
for maturing and opening the bolIs.
We have had no killing frost yet, and
all the late boil are maturing, and will
be as good as the early ones, thus ma
king the yield extra heavy. There are
now six gins in Cairo running con-
stantly, and they cannot dispose of the
cotton even now as fast as it comes to
the market. Wagons are continually
arriving loaded with the staple, and our
buyers are eager to meet them. The
price has ranged from ten cents to
twelve and a half cents per pound for
seed cotton, the latter figure for one
load only, so far as we can learn.
