Communicated
Facts About Cotton

In your issue, few evenings since.
you commented somewhat at hngth upon
the prospects and probabilities Of the
present growing crop Of cotton.
In the conclusions arrived at by your
article we see nothing particularly objec-
tionable-but we must not be led 10 be-
lieve. and the sooner this fact is under
stood the better that the United States
has a monopoly of the cotton trade-far
from it, for the aggregate receipts this
season from new sources, exceeds thus
far the total for the same period Of any
previous year The extraordinary high
price maintained during the last few
wears has set the world crazy upon the
subject of cotton, and the result is, new
sources Of supply have been discovered,
and new energies evoked which must tell
largely upon its growth in the future
As cotton is the great commercial
lever which regulates the trade and fl
nances Of our country, it becomes mat
ter of great importance 10 all bpsiuef-
men to ascertain as accurately as pus-i
bic, what lis future supply and what 10.
future price will be We have been o
those who heretofore have held that Ga,
price Of cotton must advance We cun
fess to have partially lost confidence D,

The Clarksville Tournament.

GAINESVILLE, TENN, May 3l.-The
grand tournament took place here to-day
Among the celebrities present were the
late Confederate Generals B. f. Cheat
ham, Cerro Gordo" Williams, and Gen.
Quarles, who delivered the Grafton.
Gustayus A. Henry, styled formerly the
Eagle Orator Of Tennessee, was an
attendant Upwards of one thousand
persons attended the tournament
The exercises took place at the
Fair Grounds, a large circular am
phitheatre capable of accommodating
10000 people. The tournament was
given for the benefit of the widows and
orphans of Confederate dead The total
receipts were over $4,000 Seventeen
knights entered for the prizes offered.
The correspondent of the Radical St.
Louis Democrat gives the following po-
litical turn to the ailair-Ed Ledger.
The first prize for titing at rings was
awarded to W. A. Elliott, who personated
the character of Chevalier Bayard The
utmost unfairness was shown a rider
named Hood, Yankee, who tied the
winner, Elliott, but on attempting the
final run be was greeted with derlsive
cheers from the assemblaee, which so
Disconnected the rider that Re failed to
win the prize. The whole affair may be
considered as successful rebel demon
stration, and only shows the bitter and
malignant feeling entertained by the res
idue of the reconstructed South toward
the North. In justice to the better class
of PEOPLE present, it is only fair to say
that the conduct of a few was regretted
by the majority. as well as the managers
of the affair A grand ball will conclude
| the day entertainments.

From Elmira, N. Y.

ELMIRA, N. Y, June 1.-The Fifth
Cavalry regiment Of the Fenian Army OF
Invasion, under Col Dennis Donohue,
passed here to-day en- route to Green's
burg. About fifty men, while waiting
for the eastern train, fell to fighting
among themselves. No weapons were
used, but blood run freely They were
mostly young men, many of whom were
in the rebel army during the war They
had with them six cases Of muskets, and
eight boxes of rations and ammunition.
Reports from Beming say that 500 Fee
mans passed through that village, en-
route for Buffalo to day.

MORTALITY AMONG BLACK SOLDIERS

persons are reported to have died Of dis
ease for every one who fell in battle. In
the Crimean war. seven-eighths Of the
mortality of the British troops during the
entire campaign we're due to disease;
and only one-eighth from wounds re-
ceived in action.
The comparison between the mortality
among white soldiers and that among the
blacks is quite remarkable. Number of
whites enlisted, almost exactly ? 500 600
Number Of deaths, 25l ,l22, or one in ten.
The number Of colored troops, 100000,
Of whom 29, 29s died, or about one IN six.
The mortality among the blacks was
nearly double that among the whites, but
the contrast as TO those who died OF dis
ease is still more striking Out Of every
eight deaths among the whites, three
died on the battle field and five from dis
ease. Out of every nine deaths among
the blacks, one died OF the field Of battle
and eight from disease

FLOWING UP THE COTTON.

We learn that several persons II" '"e
vicinity Of Union Depot have plowea up
their cotton. having been induced to do
SO by the five cent tax. Others are
speaking Of doing the same. No plan'er'
at the present prices, can hope TO derive
anv profit from cotton, with tax OF hve
cents on the pound to begin with Inc
bill proposing thi- tax ought to be named
"a bill to discourage the cultivation oil
cotton in the South, and TO bankrupt the
country This would be descriptive
and true. Under its blighting influence
enterprise will flag, the planter go to
stock raising, discharge his freed hands
pasture his grounds, spin his own cio'h-
ing. grind his own wheat, raise his own
bacon, and cut loose generally from the
North and West The effects OF tins tax
would hardly be more disastrous to the
South than it would be to the great gram
growing, stock-raising West. 1t would
close up the South as market Tor HOUR
bacon and live stock, because the south
ern energies, heretofore devoted to cot
ton. would be brought into competition
with the West
If we are to have one country, one
system, and form hereafter and forever
one nationality, why not have one policy
and one harmonious blending OF inter
ests and industries Why lay upon one
section burdens with the malignant, but
vain hope that it will suffer and droop
and waste away, while the others Will
flourish and grow rich ? The projectors
OF this monstrous measure of PUNISH
ment for the South are as Ignorant OF
the principles of political and domestic
economy as they are malicious and nm
forgiving. They do not seem to know
that the failure Of the South to produce
cotton would ruin the North aud West,
and result in national bankruptcy. We
all remember the cotton famine produced
in the North aud Europe by the absence
of Southern cotton. We all remember
what extraordinary figures the price
reached in the North, and how great was
the scramble for it. We also remember
who were sucked into the great mael-
strom Of cotton during the war. II
is believed by many thai the
Federal Government would have
broken down in the war but for the cot
ton il managed TO capture, added TO that
allowed 10 come through the lines If
four million bales Of cotton are nothing
to the commerce and prosperity of Amer
lea. then indeed have magical changes
been wrought and gigantic decisions
been overthrow. We have all been
Taught a different doctrine, and we shall
not undertake now TO defend what Con-
rress deems an exploded dogma All
that seems. in the minds of that body,
requisite for general prosperity and ie-
Icity. is the ballot in the hands of the
freedmen. and not cotton in the ware
houses of the merchants At all events,
we shall he required to wait and see the
result of the new policy. Let the plan
tiers, then, il they think they cannot grow
cotton under the pressure of present com
plications, pillow up the plant and devote
their lands to something else. We have
some lessons to learn from reason and
experience, and the earlier we submit
ourselves as pupils, the better it will be

from the amount taken by spinners and
exporters in the last sixteen weeks is nifty
thousand bales per week. That OF the
United States is estimated at fifteen
thousand bales per week, making the
total demand sixiy-fve thousand bales
per week; and as there are but twelve
weeks from now until the LIST of Septem-
Der. il will be seen that we will COM
mence the next commercial year with a
stock at least of nearly one and quarter
million of bales on hand-an amount OF
| itself sufficient to run the spindles OF the
world until the LIST of March next-nearly
, nine months supply from this date. The
reader will observe that in this estimate
we have not taken into account the
amount OF American cotton non IN the
interior of the country, of which we are
having weekly receipts of some 10000
bales. and which will be available and
must swell the aggregate Neither have
we mentioned anything of the present
growing crop, much of which must md
its way to market long before the present
stock is exhausted nor Of the amounts
yet TO be shipped from Brazil, India and
Egypt; but we have only estimated the
amounts already atioat from those coun-
tries neither have we taken into con
sderation the present threatening aspect
of general European war-whlch,
should it occur, must necessarily stop
great many spindles from running; and
hv so much diminish the consumpuve
demand. But our conclusions are based
upon the amount Already in market,
with a most liberal amount yet allowed
to spinners, aud we find we have cotton
amply sufficient for the worlds wants
until LIST March next, and when to this
amount is added the thousands of bales
yet to find their way to market, together
with the amount of the present growing
crops Of America, Egypt, India and
Brazil. all of which will be received in
due season. It will be seen that for
couple years to come there can be no
cotton famine.
In the face of these fncts we cannot he as
sanguine as many and hope to see cotton
at high figure soon, unless some specu-
lative movement run itup as recently IN
New York, when it must certainly recede
again. The only hope for the producer
now is the short crop everywhere looked
for this year, while The low price now
prevailing in Liverpool may force many
in al parts oG the world to abandon the
attempt to produce it while its value is
attended With 90 much uncertainty.
Nothingbat the knowledge of an extreme
short crop sgeyohere can no'0 force the
market ap beyond the little surges that
speculation gives it for the simple rea-
son, az we have shown above, that the
supply for many months 70 come must
be greater than the demand.
We hereby dsclaim in this article all
intention Of attempting to depress the
price Of cotton, or cool the enthusiasm
of holders. but what we state are facts
and are susceptible of demonstration,
and the intelligent reader can form his
own conclusions therefrom. Z.
