B BALTIMORE, Oct. 3.-The new po-
lice commissioners appeared at the
Marshal's ofice at half past ten
o'clock this morning. They were adj
mitted by a guard within the inclo-
sure and proceeded to the door of the
Marshal's Office where they were met
by the clerk of the old Board of
Commissioners to whom they made
their demand and requested to see the
members of the old Board. This re-
quest was refused by the clerk,
when they retired. They were greeted
as they passed through the crowd
gathered in front of the Marshals of
fee, with derisiYe laughter by some of
the friends of the Board. The new
Commissioners then proceeded by the
way of Lexington Street to the Sher-
ifs Office. Large crowds of people
were gathered in the vicinity of the
police Office, court house, and station
houses, but up to the present time all
is quiet.

TO- rotton Crop.

We have, Of late, seen many accounts pub
ished concerning the cotton crop of the Lone
Star State-in some of which it was stated
that Texas would produce as much cotton
this year as at any one time previous to the
war, but confess that we read them with
deal of allowance. Here is a paragraph clip
ped from one Of the most responsible and
widely circulated papers printed in the State,
and certainly Is worthy Of credence. Those
who make it their especial business to pub
lish one side of question never print any
thing that viii produce an inquiry into
the merits Of their views, but persistently
pursue a course alike calculated TO deceive
both themselves and the public.
"a correspondent of the Houston Tele-
graph, who is travelling over Texas, gives a
gloomy picture of the cotton prospects In
that State He says be has found but one
man in the entire State who says that he is
doing as well with his negroes as formerly.
He cites the following as an " average speci-
men" he says: stopped at the house
Of a gentleman who resides IN BrazOria coun-
ty, and spent several days, during which
time ] ELECTED the following facts: He, at
the break up, was the owner of go slaves,
about so of whom were field hands, that is,
this number went to the feld-making an
average force of say $50 hands. This farm
consisted Of only 1000 ceres, for this large
force, but then, this was all cultivated like
a garden. The bitches were kept open and
clear Of weeds and grass and even to the
/ fence corners were cultivated. " In fact u
said he, "you could not have found at any
! time, green stuff Except the crop) enough
inside of my enclosure to feed an OK he

Trade with Memphis,

Recently, we have had our attention cali
ed to the fact that a large amount Of cotton
was being shipped from this point to New
Orleans instead of its going to Memphis,
the natural outlet and former mart for all
cotton produced in this section of country,
being, as it were, at our very door. The rea-
son why cotton is shipped from this point to
New Orleans is obviously this: Ever since
the opening Of the past season, cotton quo
tations have been, for middlings, from to
s cents higher in New Orleans than in Mem
phis Why this is, many persons do not
fully understand 1t is natural to suppose
that producers are partial to outside figures,
and VIII send their cotton to the point where
they are likely to get those figures. As we
understand it, the quotations are given in
Memphis clear Of all incidental expenses,
while in New Orleans, quotations are given
with long listof per centages attached, and
that really, the planter is the recipient Of as
much, if not more, clear money By selling
say p bales of cotton in Memphis, than he
would be if the % bales had been sold in New
Orleans, notwithstanding the apparent favor
able quotations of the latter city We hope
that our Memphis contemporaries will illucid-
ate the discrepancy referred to, and thereby
turn the tide Of trade from this section, en-
bracing, as it does, one of the largest and
best cotton-growing districts in the State,
into the hands of merchants of that city.
New Orleans is too far removed from US to
command our trade, and Memphis is unques-
tionably the outlet proper for this section of
country. BY the excellent railroad facilities
that we are now enjoying, one can leave
Bolivar in the morning on the o clock train
and be in Memphis at P NJ. same day, can
attend to business matters, secure a good
night rest, and be at home again next day
at II! o'clock, A NJ, whereas, it would take
four or five days to make trip to New Or
leans and back There is another point that
should be noted also, in this connection
s. is the average freight per bale for trans
porting cotton from this point to Memphis,
20 miles, while it only costs $l3 Is to ship
the same bale to New Orleans distance of
over foltr hundred miles We would like
to see all barriers removed that tend to drive
trade away from Memphis, and the merchants
of that city are the ones to take the matter
in hand

WIDE OF THE MAEK.-A correspondent of

under date of the 10Th ult, estimates the
cotton crop of this year at 100000 bales
and foolishly asserts that 100000 of this
viii be grown in TENNESSEE ! canon
must have been Choking through a glass
darkly when he wrote his communication.
The largest crop of cotton ever produced in
this State was in 186O,-227, 45O bales-then
every acre of cotton land was in cultivation
and a full complement of well-trained labor
at work Now there is not more than two>
thirds Of the former cotton lands planted
and certainly not more than three-fourths Of
former laborers in the fields. How it is
possible for this State to exceed the crop Of
1860 under the circumstances, is a mystery
to all but Anon" and if he will open his
eyes and take a good look at all the surround
ings be too, viii most probably see that it
is an utter impossibility for the planters of
Tennessee to bring into market the coming
season 100000 bales of cotton. "Anon's p"
estimate for the entire crop of the South
5000 000-is based upon very poor calcu-
lations indeed, and the "second sober
thought" if he should have such thing
about him, viii convince him of this. No
possible good can result to planters by these
over estimates; the assertions of Hon. A. Fl.
Stephens and DeBow did more to injure the
interests of the cotton growers than all other
causes combined, and both of these gentle
men, as we'll as Anon, will be convinced
that they deceived themselves as well as
the public both at home and abroad. 1900,
600 bales is fair estimate for this years

From the Memphis Appeal of May 30th,
we clip the following testimonial to our old
friend and acquaintance, DR. Mortimore
The following is from Prof r. D. Redus,
formerly professor of the-College, Her
nando, Miss now citizen of Memphis:
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. l, 1866.
EDS APPEAL: feel it due to the Attic
ted, and at the same time, pleasure, to say
a few words through the columns of your
widely circulated paper in reference to Dr.
Mortimores treatment of my wife s case. DR..
NJ first prescribed for her September last
He found her at the crisis of comp icdtiOn
of chronic diseases, and that crisis about to
turn against her She had not been able to 90
out of the house for more than six months,
and had been a confirmed invalid for more
than eight years But by skillful treatment
of Dr. NJ, I am now happy to say she is
able to walk all over the city, and is more
feshy than she has ever been in her life.
When DR.. NJ. first saw her she was a mere
skeleton, not weighing so much as eighty
pounds, but now one hundred and five
pounds. We both together, with our friends,
shall ever feel grateful for the eminent skill
possessed by our benefactor.
We would say to the afflicted, go to DR..
Mortimore, and if he cannot cure YOU, no
one else can. Ifhe says he can, you may
rely on him. To say he can cure all and
every one who may apply to him, would
make him superhuman; but all that man
can do, he can. Hoping the Great Dispen-
ser of all good may bless the efforts of this
Christian Physician. / am his grateful
friend. RoB'T D. REDUs.
