THE CoTToN CRoP.-Just now there is no
little fear expressed that much of the seed plant
ed for the next crop will fail not only to ripen,
but to sprout at all. A correspondent at NJ chile
whose views worth recording, writes under
date of seventh of April, that "experments have
been made with the seed in Alabama, and it has
been ascertained that ia consequence of its age,
it has lost it's vitality. "Tbis," he adds, ''may
prove serious thing regards the coming crop,
as there may not be sufficient good seed to re-
place that of no account. For my OWE part,
cannot where an adequate amount of seed,
that is reliable can be procured" A friend in
Montgomery writes: ''Laborers, compared with
the demand, are very scarce The smallpox
has carried off thousands, and those who are at
work do not and will not do as much as they did
before the war. : We fear there will be trouble
during the hot months, but will hope for the
best. From one and a BALI to two million bales
is the present. range of estimates In this locality.
Tie amount of land not under cultivation is very
large"

THE GOLD CAPTURED BY SHERMAN.-It
will be remembered that after the surrender of
General Lee, the military in Georgia captured
100000 iu gold, which was claimed by the
Farmers, the Exchange and the Bank Of Vir-
ginia, at Richmond. Recent Investigations of
the fact, however, show that few weeks be.
fore the evacuation of Richmond, the Legisla.
ture of Virginia passed law authorizing said
banks to loan the Confederate Government, up.
on the faith of the State, 100000 10 gold to
purchase supplies for General Lees army.
This sum was placed by the respective banks
to the credit of the rebel government, and be.
fore the surrender of Lee 500 900 was paid. leay-
ing $40, 900 belonging to the rebel govern.
ment with those banks at the time of the evac-
uation The Government, therefore, claims not
only the 100000 captured in Georgia, but also
the $4,000 additional IN the custody of the
banks. This is the present condition of the
question. The notes of these banks have been
bought up with the expectation that the Sow
ernmest would relinquish its title to the $780,
900 of gold.

THE NORTHERN DEBTs OF SOUTHERN MER-
cHANTs.-At a meeting Of the New York
Chamber of Commerce, last Thursday, the COM
mittee recently appointed to petition the Presi
dent to exact from the Southern States payment
of debts contracted at the North before the war,
reported that, in their opinion, 90 interpositon
on the part of the Government is necessary, as
the States in question seemed willing to pay
their lawful debts without coercion. The COM
nittee add:
mo one of the States lately in rebellion has
shown any disposition to repudiate their liabil-
tiles incurred prior to the war On the contra
ry, most Of them have already acknowledged
that liability, and many of them have also been
engaged in devisiag ways and means for paying
off tte accumulated interest and providing for
the future payment of interest and principal.
The conduct of the individual citizens of the
Southern States is also referred to by the CON-
mittee as highly honorable Few, if any OF
them, have failed to acknowledge their obliga
tons, or to provide for the future payment of
such portion Of them as their reduced assets
will allow.
