Very Desirable

The Richmond Times argues that
the greater part of the Radical party
will not subscribe to the ultra meas
ures against the South demanded by
the extremists such as Stevens, Butler
and Phillips and that they may even
abate their attempts to force uron the
South Constitutional Amendment.
Such prospect is surely a very coms
Portable one, but after all the Times is
presuming to represent the views of
the moderate men of the Radical party.
1t is impossible to foretell what the
next Congress will do, because they
have cut so far loose from all fixed
principles.

Professor Newton, of Yale College,

take scientific observations on the ex-
pected meteoric display in November
next. This meteorio shower is ex-
pected to occur about the 18th of next
month. Like some weather prophets,
professors of astronomy have been for
several years past predicting such an
event, so there is no doubt that they
will hit upon a right prediction some
OF these days. Star gazers may look

Picking Cotton.

We find some of our exchanges call
ing attention to the insufficient
amount of bagging used in packing
cotton. We observe on our own
streets cotton merchants having addi-
tional bagging put around the cotton
they have bought. Tt is said that in
some places cotton buyers will give as
much as one cent more for cotton
where it is we'll bagged.

MINORITY GovERNMISr.-h is beyond
question, that of the tax paying, native.
born citizens OF the United States? there is
to-day majority of more than q million
against the radical party. If our radical
politicians succeed in impressing on the
popular mind the idea that the majority Of
the people oftRe United States have a right
to rule the United States without regard to
the Constitution, they will soon find that
disabilities, created by the will of MAORI
ty in temporary power, will be swept to the
winds. 1t lie q curious blunder for sensible
men to make, this doctrine that minority
may make laws disfranohising large por-
tion ofthc people, and then claim that they
rule by virtue Of being majority. Such
an absurdity will not stand the test of q

w IT, Yates:
DEAR SIR The following is de.
scription Of very noveland destruc-
tive hail storm which occurred at
half-past two O'clock yesterday even
ing. The pieces, not stones, were of
every conceivable shape, with horns,
legs, arms, &c., resembling bugs,
fowls, grass-hoppers, crawfsh, alliga-
tors, crabs, fish, lizards, chestnut burs,
monkeys, sea shells, doll-babies, &c,
&c. They came down so rapidly and
in such size and quantity that many
OF them lost an arm, leg or wing in the
fall. The (not very) little creatures
came down with legs and arms spread
out SO that they hitched upon the cot
ton and other things, stripping pretty
clean OF leaves and limbs. Some cot
ton fields are ruined The heaviest
part of the storm was between here
and Mount Mourne, covering the
ground from three to four inches Ia
some places, and to-day it still lies in
piles two inches deep, the pieces aver
aging tweand a half to three ounces
in weight. Respectfully.

OF us who have been lavish in expensive

two families ofaged and destitute fe.
males have been perishing with hunger
in the height Of our revelry; and yet
such is the fact. Some of our city off,
GERS, in their rides on the outskirts of
the city, discovered two families of aged
white females in shanty belonging to
the city, below the Fair Grounds and
near the swamp, and who had not tasted
food for nearly three days, and who
were too inirm to make their destitu.

As soon as apprised of the fact, May
or Collins had them promptly removed

Foreign Demand for Our Cotton.

The Montgomery Advertiser says
that well known resident of that city,
who has just returned from Europe,
expresses the opinion that England
and other transatlantic nations are
careless as to the amount Of cotton
raised in the South, other cotton pro-
ducing regions having been so extern
sively developed ddring the late war.
The Adverttser appears to be greatly
impressed with this view but the
June report of the agricultural departJ
ment gives figures that tell &c very difs
ferent tale. This report says that the
amount ofraw cotton exported from
this country to Great Britain during
four months of this year was equal to
5O8,626 bales of four hundred pounds
each-being quantity double that.
brought from India in the same period
and as much as that from all other
sources (India included) for the four
months. The report estimates the
cotton sent from the United States in
these four months at the value of $70,-
O0O,O0O-surely comfortable sum,
of which We fear the lions share has
gone into. the wrong pockets.
We need not fear India nor any
other country, in the production Of
this important staple, if we can only
procure labor and be relieved from the
present oppressive tax of three cents
per pound on all exported cotton.
Our cotton is not only the best in the
world, but it can be grown cheaper
than elsewhere.

Advices from India, via England,
predict that the cotton crop Of that
country for tho present year will
show q material falling off as
compared with the year just closed,
the inducements to plant, so far as
the price is concerned, not being SO
great, and the recent panic in Eng
land, which seriously disturbed money
relations with India in connection
with cotton, acting as a check to the
free and unrestrained growth Of the
staple.

class each week. will come to see you at your
homes on such an evening; will inquire how
you are doing in religion, and pray with you.
Now see the result: from the start, year at a
