FROM BROOKS, MCDONALD Il co,
No. 80, CARoNDoLEr STREET,
New ORLrANs, Sept. 18th, 1866.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 18th, 1866.
DEAR SIR: We beg to inform you that
we have for the current year secured q
Press to ourselves, for the storage OF
cotton, which will be exclusively under
the control Of Clerk IN our own Office,
of which our friends will have the bcnc-
fit in the safer storage and better care Ia
ken of their cotton.
Last season, the complaint was gener-
ally OF short weights, which is account
ed for partially from the bad MANNER in
which most of the Cotton came to mar
ket, much OF the staple laid so long in
warehouses and on Plantations that the
bagging and rope rotted, and with the
rough handling on steamboats,, loading
ana dlsclarging, great deal was wasted
and Its condition offered inducements to
levee thieves and deck hands who made
1t regular business to help themselves
as literally as possible.
We know Of instances in which deck
hands carried empty sacks from the city.
ana brought them back full, for which
they found ready market with class of
thieves with whom they were in collu-
sion.
We urge upon our friends, this season,
the propricty Of forwarding their con
slgnments in such condition as to afford
no excuse for bills of lading to be sign
ed, with exceptions" and in bad order.
When Bills Of Lading are signed in
TINS manner, though unknown to the
planter, whose plantation the Cotton may
have left in good order it is impossible
lor the factor to make rcclamations I'm.
less the bill Of ladirg is p clear one
Factors are, in many instances, blamed
for short weights, when nine out of ten
OF them have never seen a bale of the
consignment except rs much as reaches
the sample room
when the Bill of Lading is clear, the
cotton must be delivered so, or rsclama.
tlon IS to be made. If delivered in good
order, the press receipts for it in good
order, and when the cotton is sold, there
should only be such loss in weight as the
samples taken by the consignee and the
Broker amount to-
we urge upon our friends to see that
they get clear bills of lading, and if Dos.
sible to send us the weights of their con
sgnment at the same time.
Factors are sometimes blamed for the
merchant who ships cotton with cxccp-
tons in the bill Of lading, and with the
carrier who permits loose cotton to be
plucled from the bales In most instan-
ces where complaints are made of short
weights, the bill of lading is not clear
one.
A Commission is now about proceed
ing to Washington for the purpose of en-
deavoring to alter the regulations with
regard to collecting the internal revenue
on cotton, which will meet with success,
as the present programme is iniquitous,
injurious and unworthy of free govern
ment, and prejudcial to the interests Of
the planter and the merchant and the
country at large.
Respectfully yours

During the day, yesterday, the report
spread in the city that there had been q

portion Of the place had been burned by
Federal soldiers. In the afternoon a

they saw the Federal soldiers set fire to
the first building burned, and asserting
the completely Of Capt Smith, the posi-
commander with the arson.
The trouble seems to have commenced
as follows:
Several Federal soldiers broke up ne,
gro ball Some Of them engaged, were
intoxicated. They afterwards attempted
to make an entrance at dancing room
where the white citizens were enjoying
themselves at party or ball. They were
refused entrance. A fight ensued in which
one soldier was wounded, supposed NOR

afterwards, a squad Of soldiers fired {
