We arc informed that the Ladies con-
nected with the Baptist Mission Sunday
School, on 4th street, contemplate giving
Strawberry Festival on Tuesdry evening Of
next week, at LeClaire Hall. Now, we
don't want anybody else to get up Festi-
val on that night, because our capacity for
strawberries, ice cream, cakes, ETC., is lin
ted, and one couldn't do justice to more
than one Festival in one evening. We shall
be there--we shall-we always are-we are
punctual in such matters, and we expect to
sec great many other good looking people
there.

The Alabama Cotton Crop.

A Northern letter writer who has
travelled through Alabama, writes thus
OF the prospects Of the cotton crop in the
State:
was indeed surprised to see the
amount of cotton there is planted along
both sides Of the railroad. I noticed
several fields before we crossed the
State line, and after we entered this
State it was almost continuous cotton
field, the only exceptions being few
abandoned plantations and an occasional
field Of grain. 1t is all looking finely,
and was told by several planters that
although most oft was planted late in
the season it was maturing rapidly, and
they anticipated handsome remunera.
ton for their industry. 1t is worked by
negroes, the same as Of old, and nearly
every man | conversed with on the sub.
ject informed me that the crop would be
more profitable under the new regime
than under the antiquated system Of
slavery.

While many used it for selfish purposes,
thousands took it up earnestly. Accord.
ing to the great Jefferson it is remedy
to be adopted only as the least of the
two great evils. Many thought in
1860 that the time for that choice had
come. The sequel has shown the error
then made. The honest defenders of
