From w. S. Wright's Circuisr.l
Under the Unexpectedly unfavorable news from

information recently received, am satisfied that
this Is excessive. begin to see evidence that the
supply is becoming exhausted at many points.
The rivers have been up for two weeks, and we
have received cotton from remote points; still our
total Is less than last week, or before The supply
from Mississippi and Louisiana is nearly all in,
and the Vicksburg boats bring in but half car
goes. The various depots in Alabama are no
longer crowded with cotton, and the main river
delivers but small portion of what is received at
Mobile: In Texas. also, the railroads are all
clear Of cotton. Under all the circumstances
arrive at the conclusion that the total as above,
will be rather under than over 100000 bales.

RENTS FOR CERTAIN PROPERTY IN THE
SOUTHERN STATEs-To those who are ex.
pecting rents for property seized and used
by Federal authority in the Southern States,
the following abstract of decision given by
the Quartermaster General, and approved
by the Secretary of War; may not be unin-
teresting:
No rents viii be paid fer buildings
used by the Government in any city, cap
tured by Federal troops, where the place was
not surrendered, but was occupied by reason
of its evacuation by the enemy. All prop
erty in such cities will be considered as
prize of war, and the Quartermaster General
declines TO pay rent for buildings in such
cities, which have been occupied by sick or
wounded soldiers of the captured army.
After the active operations of war are
over, and peace has been restored to the dis
trict, the Government will doubtless give up
the property, which il does not confscate
and pay rent from the time of restoration
Of peace and civil authority. Claims for
the destruction Of property, fences, crops,
&c, in hostile places, by Federal troops,
are placed on the same footing as claims for
rent of buildings in captured towns. All
these VIII be left for the consideration of
Congress, to be finally disposed of under
such general legislation as may be enacted.
The appropriations for the Quartermaster
Generals Department are said to be too lin
tied TO provide for such claims, and it will
be useless for persons to make application
for their payment Congress is the only
source from which such payment can be OBJ
tanned.
This decision, as we understand, applies
to all such property, whether belonging to
loyal or disloyal parties.
