The cause or the present dvpr,ssiun rrIatvs
30 intimately to our own affairs that some
details will not be uninteresting. As is well
known to every American, our domestic trib-
ulations during the past four years have very
materially interfered with many interests
abroad, but is none so much as the supply of
cotton. Although the kingship Of cotton
did not extend to the omnipotence openly
boosted of by the Southern leaders, still the
manufacturers Of England were much en-
barrassed, and attention was at once turned
to other quarters to provide a supply and at
the same time to do away, as far as possible,
in the future with the monopoly which the
American cotton, on account of its fine long
staple, had secured in the markets. The ef-
forts of the manufacturers were directed
mainly to two sections, Egypt and India.
The cotton of Egypt, you are already aware,
is Of very poor quality, and since the collapse
of our rebellion Its growth has been almost
entirely abandoned The efforts in India
have been conducted on larger scale, and,
50 Ear As quantity goes, have succeeded better.
The high price and scarcity Of cotton gave
rise to all sorts Of wild speculations. Visionary
men Immediately imagined n want Of work
room for the convenience Of the immense
quantities of cotton which were expected to
arrive from the interior for shipment. With
out awaiting a success in cotton growing
warranting those schemes in view, it was
proposed at once to reclaim large tracts ad
Joining the city which are covered by food
tide Ii was proposed to keep back the tides
by means Of immense dikes, similar to our
Lower Mississippi levees. The land thus
reclaimed was to be the centre Of the exten-
sive looked for cotton shipping interest
Under the title Of Reclamation" compa-
nies, after one was started, the contagion
spread, and a dozen others sprung up al
most instantaneously. Some had capital
paid up, others were built on very frail
foundation Of cash--perfect air castles. I'm
mediately the tracts designed for reclama-
ton were the scene of laboring throng.
Thousands of hands were employed, and
the headway thus secured was the supposed

OUR ENLARGING REvENUEs.-One ofour
Georgia correspondents, writing from the
town Of Macon, gives an idea Of the vaJ,
cotton trade at that place, by presenting the
figures Of the United States Revenue Col
lector for six weeks ending the ist ult The
duty on cotton is two cents per pound, and
the aggregate receipts at Macon for these six
weeks were four hundred and 6fty thousand
dotidrs-representing sale and shipment Of
fifty thousand bales, valued at thirteen mil
lions of dollars in this city. II was e-timat-
ed that in the two closing months Of the
current year, the revenues from the same
source at the same place would reach more
than half million Of dollars additional 10
the aforementioned sum. II Southern in
dustry is even tolerably we'll organized by
next Spring, the revenues Of the government
from the States Of the South in 1906 will be
enormous.

the passage of the resolutions by Congress
an attested copy of the amendment was for

There arc several American gentlemen
here engaged in business, but the only one
who represents really an American interest
Is Mr. Thompson, the proprietor Of the ice
house American ice brought in ships from
Boston is considered the greatest Of Injuries
There are several ice manufacturing ma
chimes here, but the productions of art can
not at all compete with nature. The ice
trade has been carried on for some vears
both with Ceylon and India. A ship laden
with American ice arriving in any Of the
Eastern ports Is cause Of great rejoicing
and the cargo meets with a rapid cOnsump-
ton This branch Of commerce might be
developed 10 a much greater extent with
profitable rewards. There il no other coun-
try but America which can conveniently
send ice to the East, and natural ice, except
it is imported, il a thing unknown in all the
countries Of Southern Asia. An amusing
incident IL mentioned Of the arrival Of the
first ice ship. The skipper, a shrewd,
waggish man, touched at one OF the princi-
pal ports on the Malabar coast, South
ern India. Hailing a native on shore we
took a large block Of ice and wrapped
it in a blanket, telling the innocent Malabar
TO carry il 70 his master. The native, elated
at being the bearer Of such treasure, az he
supposed it to be an enormous jewel, stopped
at every house on the way to show the peo-
pie what Yankee sailor had brought for
his master. The Europeans as soon a. they
saw what it was the native had, at once
started for the ship, and Immediately the
old skipper found himself head over ears in
business The native meanwhile kept show
ing his ice around, and, 10 his surprise,
found i rapidly dissolying. His supersti-
ton being alarmed, he nov hastened direct
