An election was held in Indiana on October

there was no contest. and We have not been

COTTON-PLANTING.

Gen. Lorenzo Thomas, We hear, viii soon re
sign the post OF Adjutant- General Of the arm!
of the United States to engage extensively il
Cotton-p planting on the lower Mississippi Gen
Dick Taylor, late of the Rebel army, is engaged
to direct and oversee still more cOmprehen
sve Cotton-planting enterprise in the same re
gion. Gen. W. b. Franklin Of the Union
army has resigned in order to accept the super
intendency of Colts Arms Company at Hart
ford. Other Generals and Colonels Of either
service are accepting responsible positions Oh
railroads or in the management Of express com
panies some become teachers Of youth; other
embark in different yocations; but Cotton
planting is the tavorite pursuit with Rebel OIL
GERS. and with many Union officers As well.
They are right. 1t is now morally certain
that all the Cotton in tho Country on the day OF
Johnston's surrender did not exceed Tyo Mil
lions Of bales, most of which has since changed
hands, and good part Of it reached the sea-
board. The crop Of 1865 will not exceed One
Million bales and may fall decidedly below that
amount. And it is now morally certain that
not more than Two Million bales will be grown
in 1866, and that this will net to the growers
from 20 to 40 cents Gin gold) per pound
And here is notable fact: The crop OF 1860
was about Five Million bales Of 400 pounds
EACH worth TO the growers chad no civil war
inte.yened) $50 per BALE or Two Hundred and
Fifty Millions of dollars. Now the Two Mil
lions on hand last May, the One Million grown
this year. aud the Two Millions which may be
grown next year, have sold or viii sell at the
nearest railroad station or steamboat landing
for an average of not less than 324 cents (gold
standard) per pound, or Sl3o per bae-that is.
for an aggregate Of Six Hundred and fhty Mil
lions of Dollar. In other words, the planters
will receive in the average as much Tor crop
of Two Millions Of bales AZ they did for one OF
Five Millions.
Cotton. planting in this country Is to-day the
best business ON earth-lar better than Cold
mining in any State OF Territory. Good plan-
tations in abundance can now BE- bought sOr $40
(greenback) per acre-say $4,000 for one oil
thousand acres. whereof half is ready for the
plow. Let us suppose an individual, hrm or
company, TO buy such one, spending So,OO0
for Stock and Implements, and using sl5, 900
more as working capital, filling up store with
such provisions, wares and fabrics as their
laborcrs viii buy. and paying every laborer
two.thirds Of his wages in money or goods
each Saturday night; the remainder in cash
when the crop is marketed Let us suppose
fifty men hired at an average of S2J per
living rent free in the cottages
on the plantation but boarding himself, and that,
b. their labor, we'll directed, 500 bales of Cotton
are crown on 80 many acres, beside Corn, FORK
and Vegetables. Allowing the Cotton to be
worth 32I cents (gold) per pound, the years
business would sum up nearly thus;
New-York daily tribune., 1865-10-27

A corresponding gain in the rest of the State
would make the Union majority 40, 900, against
20, ls9 last year. We believe that if o general
election had been held tho majority would not
have been much less.

4 MOUNTAIN OF SALT N ST. DoMISGo
While salt in rebeldom fares hard At
the hands Of our raiders. salt elsewhere is
treated with high consideration. Our
readers will be interested IN the following
facts: In the south side Of St. Domingo,
in the province of Azua is the most Gin
gular sal, deposit to be found in the world
From an intelligent gentleman recently
there, and document issued BY a New
York company, we lean that there is here
a mountain of salt ak miles long. from
one nalf mile vice aud from four TO five
hund ed feet high. In some places. where
the sides OF the mountain are nearly per-
pendicular, large cliffs of salt are exposed
to view, while 10 other parts coating of
earth, ten 10 thirty feet deep, covers The
salt This salt in its crude state contains
90 IS per cent. pure salt. BY the skill
and energy Of DR. Hatch, Of Connecticut.
grants have been obtained OF the Spanish
government, and the way is being opened
for bringing this immense treasure OF salt
to the markets Of the world. A railroad.
some twenty miles in .eng,n, is to be con-
structed, which will bring the sal, TO the
little port Of Barahuna.

the following prophecy;

walks to and fro in the earth, will observe
this nation, and, determined 10 DESTROY

is fulfilled, there will rise a strong man
