Jefferson Davis on Rebellion.
r Craven records the following

DIR. Craven records the following
Mr. Davis said it was contrary to rea-
son, and the law of nations, to treat as q
rebellion, or lawless riot, a movement
which had been the deliberate action Of
an entire people through their duly or.
ganized State governments. To talk Of
treason in the case of the South. was to
oppose an arbitrary epithet against the
authority of all writer's on international
law. vattel deduces from his study OF
all former precedent-and all subsequent
international jurists have agreed with
him-that when nation separates into
two parts, each claiming independence,
and both or either setting up new gov
eminent, their quarrel, should it come to
trial by arms or by diplomacy, shall be
regarded and settled precisely as though
it were difference between two separate
nations, which the divided sections. de
facto, have become. fa
Each must observe the laws of war in
the treatment Of captiyes taken in battle,
and such negotiations as may from time
10 time arise, shall be conducted as be-
tween independent and sovereign'powers.
Mere riots, or conspiracies for lawless
objects, in which only limited factions
of a people may be irregularly engaged,
may be properly treated as treason, and
punished as the public good may require
but Edmund Burke had exhausted argu-
ment on the subject, in his memorable
phrase, applied to the first American
movement for independence; Il know
not how an indictment against a whole
people shall be framed

Mr.. Peabody's Annoyances.

It's announced that Mr.. George Pea

unsuccessfnlly, to live in quiet and Sc
clusion, at Georgetown, Mass. is greatly
annoyed by al sorts Of begging petitions.
They come TO him through the mails in
shoals, and scarcely minute Of the day
passes that some one does not ring the
door bell, 10 present his begging petition
in person. They are for all sorts of OBJ
jects, good, bad and Indifferent, religious
and secular; and, to grant them ia the
profnsion in which they are asked would
soon shipwreck even fortune as large as
Mr.. Peabody's. The annoyed millionaire
has made frequent requests TO his Ameri-
can fellow-citizens 10 stop this thing; and
he now has adopted the expedient Of
reading nothing of this character sent
through the mails, and directing the SER
wants not to answer the door bell Our
people certainly can find some better way
Of paying their respects to Mr. Peabody
than by Fostering him in this style
There is entirely too mneh Of this thing
done in all countries, and we regret TO
see the practice growing in our own. A
great many people adopt the habit Of
collecting osteasibly for charitable pur-
poses, but really to make money easy for
themselves 1t is getting to be great
annoyance to business men and prom
inent citizens. 30 m1- lt

Cotton Report.

The June report Of the Agricultural
Department gives a comparison between
the amount Of raw cotton imported from
the United States into Great Britain
during four months of last year, and the
four corresponding months of the pies
emit year. 1t exceeds the quantity i'm
ported from India by almost one hundred
per cent, and almost exactly equal the
iotsl from all other localities. aud is
equal to 500, 726 bales Of 400 pounds
each.
The report says half a million Of bales
in four months and seventy millions of
dollars are respectable figures IN the
trade with one foreign nation, even for
the pslmiest days Of cotton shipping
from the ports Of the United States
The report shows that Great Britain
buys this season ten times as much wheat
from Russia as from the United States,
and from France nearly six times as
much Only little more than four per
cent Of her seven millions Of hundred
weight are brought from the United
States

Cotton from California and the PACING
Islands,

l6lauus.
The Commissioner of Agriculture is
in receipt of several very superior sam.
ples of cotton grown in California and
he Pacific islands, which certainly give
evidence of promising future for those
localities in the production of this IN
dispensable staple. One package con.
tains a specimen from twenty thousand
pounds of upland cotton grown by
Messrs. Livermore & Chester, at Fort
TETON Los Angeles county, California,
the yield for one hundred and fifteen
acres, the seed for which having been put
in so late that the early frosts destroyed
a majority of the bolls. About four hum
dred acres in all were planted last year
and the lot referred to alone sold tor
twenty-seven cents per pound IN
gold. Another beautiful specimen was
grown by Selves & Co., at Tahiti, Society
Island, gathered from plants two years
old, and cleaned by patent roller gin,
steam power; over two hundred thous-
and pounds of which were shipped to
England and France in 1865 OF a sam
pie from Oaker. Sandwich Islands, GIN
ned by common hand roller, twenty-seven
thousand pounds were last year shipped
to England and Germany; and a very
fine specimen from KAMA, Sandwich Is.
land, is superior to anything ever raised
upon the Pacific Islands. The last three
samples are the product of imported Sea
Island cotton seed, and are thought to
be fully equal, if not superior, 10 the
celebrated South Corolina growth. These
interesting indications of the successful
development of the capabilities of the
Pacific slope and islands in this regard
may be seen at the museum Of the De
partment of Agriculture, and are worth
examination. Cairo Democrat

tions-snd those chiefly noticed for their rari-
ty-the priesthood of the Roman Catholic
Communion have kept their hands clean of
brothers blood. They have preached only
the gospel and the great doctrines of ,,eace

sullied their affairs with fratricidal emblems

faithful to their high calling, amid the terrors

men reverence them to-day, who, ten years

The Effect of Color upon Health.


From several years observation in rooms of
various sizes, used as manufacturing rooms,
and occupied by females for twelve hours per
day, and found that the workers who occu-
pied those rooms which had large windows
with large panes of glass in the four sides OF
the room, so that the suns rays penetrated
through the room during the whole day, were
much more healthy than the workers who
occnpied rooms lighted from one side only. or
rooms lighted through very small panes of
glass. observed another very singular fact
viz: that the workers who occupied one room
were very cheerful and healthy, while the oc-

employed on the same kind of work, were in

Cotton Tax.

Th New York Chamber OF Commerce has

parent that the crop must come forward very
slowly, We have On more than one occasion
expressed the opinion..that this tax, illegal and
cruel as 1t appears, may prove substantial
blessing to us in this that it will stimulate
manufactures near the fields where the crop
is produced. THERE'S economy in this. both
in money and in time, which will help us in
these enterprises which are more numerous,
we believe, than is generally known.
