COTTON.

From the Paris, (Tenn.) Intelligcncerl
We venture a production that there will
be still greater reduction in the price of
cotton than the present market rates. We
will briefly state some-a few of our reasons
for this opinion.
lst. There is greater breadth planted in
the United Strtes, than was anticipated
few months ago.
2nd. There is a better prospect that the
labor can he relied on than existed at the
beginning of the year.
Srd. The late exorbitant prices were the
result of the cotton famine in this country,
brought ON by the war.
4th. The change in the machinery in Eu-
rope to work the Surat cotton, will diminish
the demand for our cotton.
9th. During the blockade of Southern
ports. while the war was going on, the cot
ton producing countries were stimulated to
increase this production for export to the
European markets
9th. Within the last FIVE years a very
large area in other countries has been re-
duced to cultivation for the production Of
the staple; and that area is still widening.
9TH. The cotton Of the Southern States
constitutes a very small part Of the gross
amount, lFhuuNNu SlhuAhN AhANuSa4oa' N''N
world.
The annual yield OF the whole world is
estimated at the enormous sum ofthree hun
dred millions of bales.
East India and China together produce
about 100000 Of bales, every year. \
writer in DeBow's Review says; at isgrown
as will be seen by reference 10 the map, in
China, japan, part of Australia, Burmah,
East India, Persia, Arabia, Syria, Turkey,
Greece, Italy, Spain, in nearly all the ex-
plored parts of Africa, in Madagascar, the
West Indies, Nerth and South America, be-
tween the 10th degree Of North and cor
responding parallel Of South latitude, and
in most Of the islands of the world, which
lie in the temperate and torrid zones"
1t is thus evident that the Southern States
grow but small quantity Of the cotton worn
by the twelve hundred millions of human
beings who inhabit the earth. Nevertheless,
our fibre is larger and every way superior to
that grown almost anywhere else. Hence it
is worth more. Our planters should not be
discouraged for the staple will still command
very remnnerative prices. But we should
gently suggest that they should not run mad
about cotton, and neglect the cereals and
other substantials, as It may take the profits
Of the cotton crop 10 supply the necessaries
Of existance.
Corn, wheat and pork viii command good
prices. Mark il.

VOLUME XXXIH.
CONSERVATISM IN MARYLAND.

The Radicals having taken steps to organ
ize straight-out antiAdministration party,
| proposed preliminary meeting, at which it
WAS announced Governor SWAMI and ex-
Governor BRADFORD would be present az
participants They both disclaimed any
| sympathy with the movement In his dis
claimer Governor SWAMI says:
al look upon negro suffrage and the re-
cognition Of the power in Congressto control
suffrage within the States as the virtual sub
ordination Of the white race to the ultimate
control and domination of the negro in the
State of Maryland and in view Of the action
of certain extreme men in Congress, rthree
months past, upon the bill to introduce uni
versal negro suffrage into the District Of
Columbia, against the unanimous voice Of
the peope-the enlarged Freedmen's Bureau
bill-the civil rights bill, and, finally, the
reconstruction scheme Of the committee of
fifteen, | consider the issue upon this subject
of negro suffrage as well made in the fall
elections and the most important that has
ever been brought to the attention of the
people Of the State Of Maryland.
al deny that the admission Of the revolted
States by iOydL representatives. Eubjects the
reconstruction plan of the President to the
charge that no guaranty has been secured
for the future The States asking admission
have by a constitutional amendment, grant
ed Universal freedom to the negro, and they
have further guaranteed in another form,
reputation OF the debts incurred bv them
in the rebellion. These guarantees l deem
as securing for the present all that can
reasonably be asked.
"In these views | believe am sustained
by the almost united voice of President
JohnsOn's Cabinet, comprising many prom
inent Republicans who have been the friends
of Presidents Lincoln and johnson.
81 look upon thewar now being waged up
on President johnson as ungenerous, unwise |
and uncalled for, and believe that Its longer |
continuance will greatly embarrass the M
tional prosperity by keeping alive state OF /
uncertainty and distrust in the public mind,
both North and South, certain TO eventuate
in financial trOuble-afiecting the tide OF
immigration now flowing in upon us-the
domestic commerce between the States-and
exercising a most destructive and paralyzlng
influence generally upoh all the great inter-
ests of the country"
Whereupon the organ of intolerance, the |
Baltimore Amcicdn, says: ave must now |
go into the coming contest with new leaders,
as most of those we have hitherto delighted !
to honor have proved faithless to the trust
reposed in them" With this decided de-
claration from the Governor of Maryland
the IH,ericaa's "new leaders" will be likely |
to fail most handsomely.

We can inform this correspondent what MIR.
George Peabody was doing during tho struggle for
national existence. He was In full sympathy with
the rebellion. Instead OF strengthening tho ma

that the North could not conquer tho South. He
never met with the loyal Americans to celebrate
the national holidays, but engaged in getting up
opposition celebrations, to which feasts English

He repeatedly declined to contribute to aid the
sick and wounded Of the Union army, and when,
at q late day, ho was induced by strong pressure
to give to tho Sanitary Commission, it was with tho
stipulation that it should be divided betwoen the
Confederate and Union soldiers.
