Cottou.--The market evinced no tendency
to change for the better or worse-prices clo-
sing at about 40c. The latest New York dis
patches quote cotton at 49c and dropping.
Flour.--There is the same dull and hope
less feeling in the market. Sales were made
at 50 OO@925 for Superfine $40 25@Sll so
for extras, and S1l 65@12 Is for fancy.
Coffee.--The market for coffee was some

Sugar.--There was better feeling in the
sugar market than has been exhibited for
some time past, aud transactions were moro

The Children of Want.

Seldom has winter opened with
such stern realities. The credit
system is at an end. Hundreds
of families see a long winter star
ing them in the face with only a
pittance for a support. Objects
of charity are increasing on every
hand, and their bony fingers and
imploring countenances mutely
ask for aid. Surely those who
have abundance, and who are lux
uriously reclining in the lap of
plenty, ought at least to throw a
mite into the hand of the suffer-
ing child of want, and thus cheer
the dark hours of his poverty
stricken years with a kindly smile.
The man who delights to assist the
deserving poor has his heart in the
right place; but he who boards
feeting wealth, and permits the
widow and orphan to starve, may
yet become the compulsory recipi-
ent of the bounty he now refuses
to others.
Fayetteville observer. [volume] (Fayetteville, Tenn.) 1850-1966, 1865-12-21

upon the good-nature of the whites
1t has been under consideration to
abolish all distinctions of color at
the ballot-box, and thus compel
the blacks and whites to mlngle
there without discrimination
When this innovation is agreed to,
it will be necessary to pass a law
compelling Railroad companies to
carry colored passengers with
white ones. Hotel-keepers will
next have to succumb, and the dim
ner tables viii be speckled along
their whole length; or else, in self
defence, they will have to drop
the table d'hote system, and resort
to the European plan" How
pleasant it will be to "drop in"
and find yourself seating your la
dy friend beside a colored belle: or
sandwiching her between the
"gemman what chops your wood, .
and ''lubly Rose who fascinates
all the ''Dandy Jims" of the place.
Egad! elderly, equality, and fra
ternity" seem to be the order Of
the day, and we shall be compelled
to submit, however our nostrlls
may be offended, or our perhaps
too foolish pride aroused to an ex-
preston of emphatic indigna-
ton. The man who original
ly maintained that black was
white, it appears, was not such a
fool after all. If it is not white,
it is going to be just as good as
white, if W. G. BToacaloao has his
way, and the distinction amounts
to no substantial difference.
