To- It would seem from the following
extract, taken from the N. Y. Price.Current
and Commercial List, that there are cotton
thieves elsewhere than in the South. Who
would have thought it? r. i
We understand that the New Orleans
shippers hesitate about sending cotton to
this market owing to the high charges
current here for carriage, storage and insur-
ance, and owing to the loss resulting from
theft. In several instances within our
knowledge, captains ofvessels which have
been sent out TO New Orleans to load for
New York, have telegraphed for permission
TO load for Liverpool direct, shippers reflls-
ing to send their cotton here for the reasons
enumerated above. 1t is to be hoped that
this important trade will not be driven
from our city by any such causes, and we
trust that steps will ere long be taken to
render the expenses of handling, etc, less
onerous. As to the matter of piBeiag it
is done with impnnity 1t is no uncommon
thing to see halfdozen women cOnpYega-
ted in the vicinity of lot of cotton which
is being handled by laborcrs, who permit
them to fill their aprons and stuff their
clothes full without remOnstrance. In this
way a good deal of cotton may be extract
ed from bale, especially if it is loosely
put up, or the bagging becomes worn out.

Buffers BLOOD CRIES FROM THE
GRoUND.-The last character assumed by
this great and good man, Butler, is that of
an avenger in hot pursuit of General Robert
Z. Lee. We are informed he says if "Gen-
eral Lee is not punished, then has he (But-
ler) shed his blood in vain" Several inter-
esting questions arise at this point. When
and where did Butler "shed" any blood
during the course of the war? Was it at
Big Bethel? Was it at Bermuda Hun
dreds? Was it at Fort Fisher? Did any
body even hear Of even a cats scratching
him in New Orleans? Did splinter even
stic. in him while ruling Norfolk and
Portsmouth? Not that we ever heard of,
and we have kept the "run" of Butler Yet
this pure patriot, who believes that ''money
is the root of all evil" and has been doing
his best to extirpate the "root" wherever he
has been, says he has lost "blood.' If But
Ter really has lost blood, even a teasp0onfM,
(no reflection intended in using this word,)
then we agree that General Lee shall pay
him back, drop for drop, the amount ex-
pended; and we will, moreover, guarantee
that it shall be a better article than what
he alleges to have "shed." If he can even
establish that even his nose bed during the
war, he shall be reimbursed with an equal
of blood, far better than his own
Can any proposition be fairer? But, at
the same time, we respectfully suggest that
he shall repay those whom he has made
bleed 1--WE do not mean in battle, of course,)
in various portions of the suffering South.
When there is any talk of blood Butler
'ught to remember that Outside of any
'leediag performed in battle) he owes
.bout as much as he can ever pay. We do
not ask him to pay for any blood shed by
him in actual warfare, because we honestly
believe he is as innocent as babe unborn

THIRD LOUISIANA INFANTRY"

IhiRD LOUISIANA INFANTRY. ..
The same grave this day is neatly sodded
over and at its head grows a rose bush.
Broken hearted and bowed down with
grief, she wendell her way on foot to the
great city of Chicag0-not knowing why
she went. A stranger among strangers,
with no one to aid or pity her, save the
good God whom in her inmost heart, be.
ieved, had forsaken her.
She was taken in and cared for by the
Sisters of Charity until she could hear from
her friends, in Ohio, from whom she had re.
ceived no intelligence for the past four
years. A letter was received, that imme.
diately after the war her uncle had died,
and that soon after his widow had remov-
ed to 1roquois county, Illinois, to live with
her married son. Mrs Geroux was suppli.
ed with money to enable her to find her
friends In lroquois county, where she has
since resided.
Geroux returned to his situation at Gin
cinnati, and was sent by his firm to collect
debt due them in this country. While
here, he sought out the attorney who had
him discharged on the habeas corpus, to
learn the whereabouts of the horse that did
him such good service, and to secure his
assistance in collecting his debt. He soon
made himself known, and while they were
discussing about the stolen horse, q lady
and child entered the same Office. There
was momentary pause, and husband and

MANUFACTURING SENTINESr.-The Sac
Tamento Union makes up quite q list OF
journals, which it calls Union papers,
which i, SAYS are with il in It's opposition
to the Presiden, and in support OF Thad,
Stevens s Co. Among them are two re-
hsious papers, four Of which have express
ed no opinion on the matter at issue, one
ephemeral grati;uitous concern. and the
Wilmington Journal. This latter paper
thus takes position in opposition 10 that
assumed BY the Union:
There are many reasons for believing
tina, he the President will continue to
serve the country faithfully; his past sad
experience, his intense hatred Of treason,
his genuine patriotim, and the natural de-
sire OF all good men 10 transmit TO pos
terlty an uublemished record, will prevent
him from joining hands with a class who
for the last four years were active in every
evil work-a long civil wal and the assas-
s~ina,ion Of 4 faithful, confding, noble
hearted and Christian President being
their masterpieces. We have before eH-
pressed our full confidence in the foresight
and wisdom Of the Chief Magistrate. and
we still believe that the American people
will have no occasion TO regret that An
drew Johnson was elevated to the position
Of President"
Nineteen OF the Union journals of the
State have taken position in opposition to
Thad. Stevens * Co. To our list OF yes
terday we have 10 add the Wilmington
Journal and the Alpine County Bulletin.
The Stockton Independent is compelled
10 resort 10 barc-faced lying 10 maintain
its cause. l. says:
The Call gives II list Of seventeen Call
ifornia papers which, as j. AYERS, sustain
the President. In the lis, are included
such papers as the Examiner, Express,
Sonoma Democrat, Unicn Democrat, and
Mountain Democrat"
When the Independent published the
above, il knew il was publishing a base
falsehood. Neither Of the above papers
spoken of BY the Independent has been
mentioned by the Call in connection with
recent political differences, neither has the
name of one OF them appeared in the Call,
for the last three weeks, in any connection
whatever. This the three hundred Stock
ton readers of the Call know to be tht
fact. and therefore they know that in re-
sorting TO such bare-faced ~falsehoods, TIT
Independent has rendered itself unworthy
of credence in any PARTICULARS Fran

A BEAUTIFUL SMILE, BY MArrIr.-
There is a signal known only to the fra
ternity. a, which the breath Of every Ma
son is hushed. and deep silence pervades
the lodges. So, when God rises in the
magnificent temple Of the universe and
stretches His hand, sleeping millions will
start from their graves, and they shall!
stand before Him a multitude no
man can number. There we shall meet
our dead again. and give them the signals
of immortal love. After describing the
procession Of enfranchised spirits, Mafit
thus concludes: I look higher. l see
the everlasting doors Of the upper temple
open. Let there be light" speaks the
great. sweet voice OF the Grand Master Of
eternity. An exceeding brightness burns
upon the head Of the procession. Banner
and plume. crosier and cross, are bathed in
the inefable pure white that roll, down its
ocean gush Of purity. I see them no

New EXPLANATION OF FESIAN DIsA'
COMMENTATORS Of the reasons why the
Sweeny and Roberts party are in the ascend
ant among the Fenian Brotherhood Is the
dis,rust that is universally felt toward James
Stephens, the Irish Head Center. With this
person the o'Mahony party are identified,
and they glorify him in all their public DEM
ons,rations. For instance, at a meeting in
Cincinnati the other night, Mr.. P. W. Cronin
declared that "a: the present time James
Stephens can bring into the field the best
army that ever trod the Irish soil"-and vet
few persons who read the newspapers but
suspect that Stephens is merely a spy and a
tool for the British Government. All the
circumstances which produce this suspicion
have again and again been set forth to the
public, but no explanation has been vouch'
safed BY his friends. This indifference tc
public opinion makes u, fear that there ii
something wrong in the whole O'Mahony
Chicago Republican.

Present Condition Of the "Ciga
Ahsv

Present Condition of the "Cigur
ship"
The present condition Of the Winans
"cigar ship" now building in London,
and of which accounts were published a
long time ago, is thus described by the
London Morning Herald:
The general form of the cigar ship is, as
her name shows. compared with thai OF q
cigar pointed off at both ends instead Of
one. 4 more homely, but perhaps more
effective illustration. is that Of the I'M
pleasant but ~favori,e plaything OF street
boys, the "tipcat." Most of our lands
men readers will be more or less familiar
with this simple but ingenious instrument
OF ~nnoyanc and il they will fancy a

| tapering 10 an absolute needle point at
| either end, they will have before their
eyes the exact representation of the hull OF
the cigar ship. This hull, which is, Of
course, hollow. and formed of iron, pre-
senting n perfectly smooth and even sur
face. supports upon the upper side a small
deck, occupying about half, or something
less, VI tue GAbiCulC lSlhbhb III hoRSA'iS
extremities projecting beyond it at either
end. Unlike the hull itself, this deck is
not exactly the same at each end, present.
ing a wedge. shaped front toward the bow,
while at the stern it is rounded of Ameri-
can clipper fashion. Above the deck are
to DE seen the tunnels, companion houses,
etc.. but neither mast nor rigging Of any
kind whatever, the only means of locomo-
ton possessed by the cigar ship being her
engines, for which she can. according to
estimate, carry coal enough for five days
consumption. Her extreme length is
about two hundred and fifty feet, and
greatest diameter about sixteen feet, taper
ing gradually, as We have said, to a point
almost as fine as that OF a needle. The
amount Of accommodation is therefore eS-
tremely limited; and we believe it is not
proposed 10 make any attempt at carrying
cargo OF any description, but 10 confne
the vessel strictly TO the passenger trade.
Even then i, is difficult TO imagine, after
due allowance for saloon and sleeping
apartments, stores, berths for crew, etc..
what space can be left for engines esti-
mated to work up to two thousand horse
power.
The means of propulsion employed are
two large screws, one at either end OF the
vessel, and placed within a very short dis
lance Of the extreme points, or at a dis
lance Of about one hundred and twenty
fee, from the machinery. These propel.
lers are to be of great diameter and sharp
pitch-,he one pushing. the other pulling
the vessel, and each showing half OF its
surface above the water. The estimated
extreme speed is about twenty-seven miles
per hour. \ shor, distance from the pro-
peller, and nearer to the center of the YES
sci, is the rudder-one at each end-a
broad iron plate like the rudder. or rather
steering paddle. Of the ancient galley'.
These are also rather more than one hun
dred feet from the steering apparatus.

The Richmond Times tells a good story
abou, a wealthy s%hip-owner who was
much annoyed at having a day in every
week on which he could get no captain to
star, to sea. To disprove the superstition,
he built a vessel in and over which Friday
should reign supreme. He laid the keel
on Friday ; put in the masts on Friday ;
rugged her on Friday launched her on
Friday; called her Friday ; and found a
captain who took her to sea on Friday.
And he says he presumes she went to hell
on Friday, for hs never heard Of her AFTER
wards.
