Tho Cotton Crop.

Messrs Neil Brothers & Co., of New
Orleans, in their latest circular on the
cotton crop, estimate that it will be from
2,050,00 to 1900, 900 bales, or from Al
to 40 per cent of tie crop of l859l60,
which was 4,675, 900 bales. These fac
tors state that the Mobile district will
yield 250, 900 to 100000 bales; the New
Orleans district 100000 to $4,000; Vir-
ginia and Caroinas, 250,O to 275,000
bales; Georgia and Florida, 100000
bales; Texas 200, 900 to 22j, 900, and all
other sources from 100000 to 275,000
bales. They say their statements are
based upon personal observations made
in all parts of the South by the mem
bers of their firm. The lart number Of
DeBow 8 Reuiew estimates the crop
from 100000 to 2,0O0,0 bales. The
Commercial Chronicle thinks it may
reach 100000 bales. We give these
estimates, without endorsing any one of
them, for the benefit of the many per
sons who are interested in the produc-
ton of the cotton crop of the present
year. A dispatch from Mobile, dated
Nov. 2Sth, announces that the receipts
of cotton at all the Southern ports, from
Sept. 18th, the beginning of the cotton
year, amount to 100000 bales.

Tha Raform Moyament.

1t is announced from England that the
reform movement is languishing some
what, on account of the unsettled condi-
ton of the weather, which interferes with
outdoor meetings. Preparations are
still being made for the great working
mems demonstration in favor Of reform,
in London, on Monday next, but the
opposition of the Authorities, it was
thought, would interfere with its imposing
character. They refuse to permit the
use of any of the public parks for place
of meeting, and the Superintendent of
the London police has strongly con-
demned the policy of bringing great
numbers of people from. the surrounding
country into the crowded streets of the
city. The workingmen, however, persist
in the movement, and intend to make it
a most imposing one, in spite of the anti
reform proclivities OF the Derby Ministry
and the Police Superintendent.

Josh Billings on Laffing

LaAing is strictly an amusement, al
though some folks make Dizziness ov
it.
1t has been considered an index of
charakter, and there is some so cluss at
reasoning that they can tell what man
had for dinner bi seeing him laff.
/ never saw two laf alike.
While thare are sum who don't make
emmy noize, thare are sum who don't
make anything but noize-and sum agin
who have musk in thsre laff, and others
who laff just as a rat does who haz
caught steel trap with his tale.
Thare is mistake in the assershun
that it is no comfort to hear sum lafis
that cum romping out ov a mans mouth
like distrik skool of young girls just
let out tew play.
Men who never laff may have good
hearts, but they are eepseeted-like
some springs, they have their inlet and
outlet from below, and show no spark
ling bubble ON the brim.
j don't like a gigler his kind of laff
is like dandylion, broad yellow, with
no bit of good smell about it.
1t is true that emmy kind ov laff, if it
IL honest, is better than none; but give
me the laff that looks out ov a man eye,
fust, tew see if the coast is clear, then
steals down into the dimple of his check
and rides in an eddy there awhile, then
waltzes spell at the corner of his
mouth like thing of life, then bursts its
bonds of beauty and fills the air for a
moment with shower of silvery-tongued
sparks, then steals bak with smile tew
lair in the heart tew watch agin for its
prey-this is the kind of latf that luz
and amt afraid ov.

Noble Sentiment.

This is an agreeable world, after all
II we would only bring ourselves to look
at the objects that surround us in theft
true light, we should see beauty where
before we bcheld deformity, and listen to
harmony where before we could hear
nothing but discord To be sure, there
is a great deal of anxiety and vexation
to meet; we cannot expect to sail upon
a summer sea forever; yet if we preserve
calm eye and steady hand, we can so
trim onr sails and manage our helm as to
avoid the quicksands and weather the
storms that threaten shipwreck.
We are members of one great family
we are all travelling the same road, aud
shall arrive at the same goal We breathe
the free air, we are subject to the same
bounty, and we shall lie down on the
bosom of our common mother. 1t is not
becoming, then, that brother should hate
brother; it is not proper that friend
should deceive friend it is not right that
neighbor should injure neighbor.
We pity that man who can harbor en-
nifty against his fellow he loses half
the enjoyment of life, he embitters his
own existence. Let US tear from our
eyes the colored medium that invests
every object with the green hue of jeal-
ousy and suspicion; turn deaf ear to
the tale of scandal; breathe spirit of
charity from our lips; and from our
hearts let the rich gushings Of human
kindness swell up as from fountain, so
the golden age will become no fiction,
and the island of the blessed bloom
with more than Hesperian beauty.

Large Eyes.

Large eyes have always been admired,
especially in women, and may be con
sidered essential to the highest order OF
beauty, in almost every description OF
which, from Helen of Troy to any mod
ern heroine, they hold a prominent
place. We read of Large spiritual
eyes," and "eyes loving large" and OF
little, sparkling, beady eyes" to which
the epithets spiritual and loving
are never applied.
An Arab expresses his idea of the
beauty of woman by saying that she
has the eye of gazelle. This is the
burden of his song. The timidity, gen.
tleness and innocent fear in the eye of
the deer" tribe are compared with
the modesty Of the young girl: Let
her be as the loving hind and the pleas
ant roe.
Persons with large eyes give US the
impression of being wide awake, and
ready for action; while small eyed .peo'
pie have more generally a sleepy
look and a sluggish temperament or
habit of body. Dr. R0dfield observes
that persons with large eyes have very
lively emotions, think very rapidly, and
speak fast, unless there be a predomi-
nance of the phlegmatic temperament.
OF persons with small eyes the reverse
is true. The former are quick and
spontaneous in their feelings, and in
their expression of them, and are, there.
fore, simple, like the Scotch, Swiss, and
all who inhabit mountainous regions
The latter are slow and calculating, and,
therefore, artful like the Gypsies There
is connection between activity and
the ascending and descending acclivi-
ties, fact which we evince in running
up and down stairs, and which an active
horse exhibits when he comes to hill (;
and hence the Scotch Highlanders, as
well as the sheep, goat, chamois, etc,
have very large eyes and very great
activity

COTTON PROSPECTS.

The New Orleans Times of late
date, says:
The question of the supply of cotton
and its prospective prices continue to
exercise the brain of economists and
others, many of whom, however, seem
to Judge of it from standpoint which
accords with their own interests or the
community in which they live, and re-
ject all information from whatever source
if it conflicts with these interests and
views Persons are thus biased in their
opinions, and while many Of them are
erroneous, doubtless, nevertheless they
are honestly entertained. Thus we find
traders in the North with, perhaps, more
assumption than knowledge, assert their
belief from sources entitled to all cred
it, that the cotton crop largely exceeds
two million bales, and we will likewise
find others in our own section who place
it at seven or eight hundred thousand
bales. We find the planter and the mer-
chant, the holder and the buyer, widely
at variance in their views, both as to the
amount of the crop, and the price it
should bring.
We need hardly go beyond the limits
of our own city to verify this statement.
Merchants with equally creditable infor-
nation disagree, while there are few
buyers who will concur with the former,
either as to the amount raised or as to
its future value. Upon one point
only is there no controversy and that is
as to its being short crop" That is
l. r. l..
and by all classes, planter, merchant
and buyer. But whether it is only one
million bales as urged by advocates of
higher prices, or amounts to two mil
lions, as calculated by those of opposite
ideas-that is subject of controversy,
and must continue to be for month or
two to come
The late decline in the great staple,
however, was the result of combination
of causes, and by no means predicated
alone on the supposition Of better
yield than was expected after the un-
favorable weather of September-the
most unfavorable for thirty years, we
have been told by planters. The fall of
gold, the condition of exchange, contin-
ued depression in the manufacturing
districts of England, and the unsatisfac-
tory state of the goods markets, these,
too, contributed to agect the market,
which so weakened that some persons
predicted low middling would touch 25
cents before there would be reaction.
The prophecy was not fulfilled; for,
whatever may be the cause or causes,
the market has ruled quite steady for ten
days, and just now it is very firm, and
number OF factors are much above the
market What prices may be week,
month hence, is another thing.

Compulsory Heroism.

In Prussia there is law which holds
every able bodied youth, from the son Of
the king down to the son of the humblesi
peasant that hoes his cabbages on the
banks of the Spree, from seventeen up
ward, subject to be drawn in the military
lottery for service in the army. After a
term of actual service in the ranks or
elsewhere, these conscripts are transfer
red to the rolls of the Landwehr, or re-
serve militia, but are still liable to be
called upon in an emergency TO take the
field, and, in fact, in the present war ex-
citement, have been put, for time, un-
der drill, it is easy to see that this in
cludes the great body Of the young men
Of the country-the class that is most
anxious to emigrate, and whose presence
in the United States is most desirable.
Every emigrant under the age oi seven
teen, though not yet fully n pitisen OF
Prussia, is held to be such when he at
tains the proper age, in whatever foreign
land he may have taken up his resi-
dsnee; and for soldier who still has
service to perform in the army or in the
Landwehr to emigrate to America is, of
course, nothing less than desertien.
What do we see then2 When the emf
grant who has been years away from his
parents and friends, after accumulating
wealth ia Tho New World, returns TO
spend a few months among them, he is
liable 10 be arrested and held 70 service
for the remainder of the term which he
left incomplete.

The Proposed Impeachment.

The Newburyport Herald thus com
ments on the proposed impeachment Of
President Johnson:
Now to our mind the proposition of
impeachment is one so full Of danger
that he who fathers it must be short
sighted or terribly depraved. There is
not rational man in the country that
does not see that it carries upon its very
face the commencement of a civil war,
by the side of which the late rebellion
would appear as child's play. Before
any one accustoms his mind TO wander
too far in that direction, let him inquire
if he is prepared for state of anarchy
that would destroy the value Of property,
that would repudiate national and pri-
vate debts together, that would darken
the sun of republican liberty, that this
century would not see its face again, and
streets till every dog would lap it like
water. If any man of fighting age fa-
vors the deposing of the President in
the present state of the country, let him
Join a military company at once, and
drill as often as he eats; and if be is not
