Cotton.

The exports of cotton from New
York, for the week ending April II,
amounted to 21,7OO bales, valued ut
S3, ,697, ,51S, and since September /,
1865, there have been exported 394.-
53S bales, valued at $4,000, 900.
The whole amount of cotton which
the South has given to the commerce.
OF the country is estimated by some
OF the New York papers at2 600, 900 of
bales. which, at ruling rates, amount
Ell to something over $4,000, 900 !.
This, the New York HeruM Justly
says, is equal to six or seven wears
production of the gold mines Of Cali
fornia and the other States and Ter
rltorles Of the Pacific. Cotton is an
article OF prime necessity, and not
only employs millions of hands and
hundreds of millions of capital, but
takes the place of gold and silver in
the exchanges of the world. The
iierId considers it great good fortune
for the United States to find SO much
cotton in the Sout! at the close of
the war, and remarks that had Eng
land been SO fortunate rs to discover
$500, 100000 in gold immediately
after her exhansting war with Napo-
leon, how easily she would have
passed through her troubles!
These figures develop the great
wealth and resources of the Southern
States under their former system of
labor; now this system has been over
turned, the resources of the planting
interests SO sadly crippled that it will
be years Gf ever before they can
send to the marts of the world even
her old supply of cotton, while the
political status of these States is such
that their business confidence is near
~ prostrated. And what for? 10
crafty the fanaticism and greed of
power Of a dominant faction in Con-
gress, who are doing all they ca to
rum the country to subserve their
own selfish ends and interests. Were
the Southern, States, in accordance
with the Presidents policy, restored
to their full and just position in the
Union, we are confident that great
impetus would be given to the deve-
lopment of their resources and the
resusciation of their producing cner
gies in every department.

SOUTHERN DEBTORS. At u mcetinu
OF the New York Chamber OF Com
mercc, last Thursday, the committee
recently appointed to petition the
PRESIDENT to exact from the Southern
States payment of debts contracted
at th~ North before the war, reported
that, IN their opinion, no interposi
ton on the part Of the Government
Is necessary, as the States in question
seemed willing to pay their lawful
debts without coercion. The Com
mittee add:
"No one of the States lately in re-
belhon has shown any disposition to
repudiate their liabilities incurred
prior to the war On the contrary.
most of them have already acknowl-
edged that liability, and many of
them have also been engaged in de-
vlslnS ways and means for paying off
the accumulated interest, and pro
viding for the future payment of in
tercst and principal. .
The conduct of the individual
citizens of the Southern States is also
referred to by the committee as high
~ honorable. Few, if any, of them
have failed to acknowledge their
obilgatlons, or to provide for the flu
ture payment of such portion of them
as their reduced assets will allow

this State, by their friends, would be imprac-
ticable. The ground occupied by the Ander-
sonviIle cemetery is an area Of about two and
half acres, on which are buried three thou
sand bodies, while altogether there are not
dozen graves marked. At present there is
but a small garrison of about twenty men
stationed at Andersonville, who are guarding
the old stockade and cemetery.
At Danville, Va, the total number of Union
soldiers inferred is one thousand two hundred
and enty-four-eighty-four of whom we're
Pennsylvanians. The graves containing the
Union dead who were buried prior to Octo-
ber 21, 1884, at Danville, are all marked with
tie name, rank, company, and regiment. No
difficulty can attend the recognition OF bodies
buried in this cemetery.
II was impossible to ascertain the number
of Union prisoners buried in the immedi ate
vicinity of Richmond. In the cemeteries at
Oakwood, Greenwood and Belle Island, where
the bones of large number of Pennsylvania
soldiers are buried, the graves are all un-
marked.
At Petersburg all the graves are marked
with head-boards bearing the name OF the
soldier, rank, company, aud regiment, render
ing recognition practicable.
From this 1t win be seen that the proba-
bilities Of removal being possible are ex-
tremely slight. The State is endeavoring to
make arrangements whereby such as desire
can have the identified bodies removed to
this State without any great expense. When
this arrangement is perfected we will give the
particulars.

The Education of the Negro.

THE proper education of the freedmen is Just
now attracting public attention, and the initia-
tory steps are being taken to furnish them
with facilities for their intellectual and mental
Improvement. The Bureau which is in
charge of Maior-General HOWARD has been
established for the express purpose of elevating
a race that has been abused and maltreated
through long generations. The first duty de-
volving upon the nation in regard to this i'm
! portant matter is to prepare schools and col
leges for the education Of colored youth. 1t
is folly to imagine that the prejudice which
exists can be overcome in a day. We may
regard it as unwise and inhuman, but it still
remains. Properly considered, there is
nothing in color either to degrade or make
should decide his status. A dusky skin is
not necessarily badge of iuferiority, but we
have been educated to this belief. and it is
hard to get rid of our early training.
In the Southwest, where General CLINTON
B. FISK has charge, the experiment of high
schools for colored youths is being tried. A
DAY or two ago. one was opened under the
happiest circumstances at Nashville. Gov
ernor BRowNLow made one of his peculiar
speecbes-a mixture of sterling good sense,
mingled with the wormwood and gall for
which he is so remarkable. he has entered
into the work of elevating the negro with
might and main, and promises to be one of
General FIsK's most ardent supporters. He
thinks that with careful tutelage the negro
race can be brought up to high standard
perhaps fully equal to the condition of the
white man. The Southern divines, before the
war broke out, held the doctrine that Provi-
dence had permitted the enslavng of the
African for the purpose of introducing Chris
tianity into the benighted portions OF Africa.
1t may be that they were correct, and from
the enfranchised race the streams of religious
life will flow out for the healing of the nations.
1t is not at all improbable that some colored
men, educated in America, will yet rival
HENRY MARTYN. JUDsoN, and DR.. DUFF
in successful missionary effort. To bring
about this most desirable consummation is
worthy of strong effort. Ii, after years OF
enslavement. America could loose the bonds
of the colored man everywhere, it would be a
heritage OF unbounded honor to our children's
children. Let the people move in the matter
and it will be an accomplished fact.

guilt Let him then come before that power
which has conquered him, and receive his
sentence 1t does not necessarily follow that
he should be hung. BE may be pardoned by
the President, should Mr.. JOHNSON deem
such course to be advisable. What is needed
Is a conviction, in order that all the actions of
the Administration be affirmed for should an
acquittal result, all the conduct of the war
would be declared illegal, as consequence.
For the reason that we believe the convic-
ton of DAVIS national necessity, and that
we do not believe that il can be secured before
a Southern court, we deeply regret the tone
adopted by Mr.. SPEED and must strongly dis
sent from his conclusion. The fact that
Chief Justice CHASE refuses to hold a court
at Richmond shows that he does not believe
that the case can legitimately come before
him; and the statement that not until peace
is restored to the South-which may be for
years, because the whole social mechanism
is at present in stdtu quo-could the trial take
place, seems to imply that it will be long
time before justice will be meted out TO the
most guilty criminal of the age. We, there
fore, demand that before military court ex-
peditious punishment shall be dealt out, the
nation be satisfied, and the cause Of injured
aw vindicated in the conviction Of the vio-
ator of her statutes.

The Eulogy Upon Mr.. Lincoln

THE Congressional Committee having in
charge the appropriate ceremonies in refer
ence to the death of Mr.. LINCOLN, have
selected Mr.. BANCROFT to deliver the eulogy.
Mr.. STANTON was first chosen but declined
CROFT could have been appointed. He is
our greatest living historian, and is unques-
tionably more familiar with our nationa
annals than any other man. He is perfect
master of most delicate and beautiful style,
and we have not the slightest doubt but that
the address will be an important addition to
the literature of the country. The theme is
one that ought to inspire the most apathetic
writer, and every one who has followed Mr..
BANCRoFT's brilliant periods will aclInow-
ledge his entire fitness for the post assigned
him. 1t becomes his lot to embalm the
memory of one of the best men that our coun-
try has produced. The position is an enviable
one. as millions will read the eulogy with in
tense delight. The audience before which it
will be delivered will be composed of che
leading minds of every section Of the country,
and everything conspires to make it the great
event of the present session OF Congress.
THE PENNSYLVANIA SOLDIERS BURIED
IN THE SOUTHERN CONFERENCE.-THE Com
missioner appointed by the State to visit the
South and examine into the condition OF the
Southern cemeteries wherein Pennsylvania
soldiers lie buried, has made report through
Colonel GREGG, which reveals condition
Of affairs anything but comforting to the rela-
tives of the deceased. AS it may be of inte-
rest to those of our readers who have relative
buried in the South, we will give condensed
account OF the condition of the different ceme-
teries, and OF the prospects Of being able to
secure the reinterment of the bodies.
After examining the cemeteries at -Sauls-
bury, Colenel GREGG has come to the con-
clusiOn that the recognition of bodies Inferred
at that point is totally impossible, and that
therefore their removal aud reinterment in
