Stunning world is affected by cold rain
and chilly atmosphere in the States
lately in rebellion. The calculaters
of the cotton crop in Europe and New
York, have something to learn, and the
present season is volunteering as their
schoolmaster. Every report from the
South is discouraging, and those of us
who know anything of the effect ofweath-
er upon our favorite staple, know that
the plants are, at present, like angels
visits, few and far between Or, in
unpoetic language, the stands y are
bad. Moreover, the late foods OF rain
have been the friend of'the grass, and
not of the cotton. So choked up with
weeds is the cotton plant, that whole
fields must be abandoned. That which
may be reclaimed, cannot conquer the
rigors of the season, and cannot, there
fore, yield compliance with the extrava-
CANT expectations of the ignorant cotton
lords of Europe and the North "he"

Painful Accident.

Theapainful accident Of the shooting OF
lady, short time since, about sixteen
miles from this place, is u mystery. a
clever youug gentleman from Memphis
who was an old acquaintance OF the LADY,
while paying her visit, was BY, mehsure-
ment, Xix hondred yards from the hoGse'
shooting very small size Smith 4 Yves
sons pistol, at a squirrel, when the lady
received run-shot wound, which struck
her so as 10 range some four inches I'M
der her shoulder blade. IT was not
thought proper to attempt 10 extract the
BALL. Thelady was doing wei when las.
heard from. But the mystery rs, VINO sue,
the pistol? We have seen the iuentich'
pistol and from actual experiment know
that a hall from il will not penetrate 'be
flesh one hundred yards. We do not not
think it could possibly throw the BALL
which is not larger than turkey sho',
though little longer, even with the most
powerful condensed rcombustible materi-
al known to science, held in manner .he
distance of one hundred and twenty hve
yards. Twenty steps is as tar as they
will shoot with accuracy, or force, though
they shoot remarkably well that distance
The ball must have come. out OF riile,
from great distance. Ii is OF course 70
be regretted by everybody, that the bali
could not be extracted, ON the part OF the
lady, as a measure of relief; it would also
have been gratifying to have discovered
whether it came from rife or a pistol. :

the town of Lewiston, has written hong
from Washington, giving q statement oil
some opinions alleged to have been ex-
pressed by General GRANT upon the state
of the country. His position, as thus
reported, is, briefly, that it would have
been better for the country had the war
lasted another season, so as to have made

that while Generals JOHNSTON aud DICK

The Liverpool Mercury of the LIST,
says Intelligence has been received
here of the supposed loss of screw
steamer and all its hands. II seems that
on Thursday night, about 8 o'clock. a
screw steamer passed the Neward light
ship, off Winterton, and in about half an
hour tremendous explosion was heard,
followed by body of flame. The
steamer then disappeared, and il is be-
lieved that all on board persisted. A
smack at no great distance observed the
disaster, but couli not bear down in con
sequence of insufficient wind. Thereport
was distinctly heard at Yarmouth, from
seven to eight miles distant, and caused
a sensible vibration in many houses

The Approaching Trial of jefferson Davis

We understand that in less than two
weeks from now the trial of Jefferson
Davis for treason against the United
States Government will commence at
Richmond The day actually fixed, we
believe, is the first Monday in June The
indictment is simple and specific, but the
arguments, alike for the prosecution and
the defense, will involve the most COM
prehensive and searching inquest into
the constitutional authority of the Gov
eminent, and the relations of individual
States thereto, that has probably ever
been made, since the foundation of the
Union 7 st4tN
Let the result of the trial as affects the
prisoner be what it may, the importance
Of judicially testing the question of what
constitutes treason, and whether it is
possible to make the crime of treason
odious by legal condemnation under
such u government as ours, cannot be
oyerestimated. The ablest constitutional
lawyers in the country will bring to the
examination Of the case the clearest and
most unimpassioned Judgment The
trial will be conducted By the proseeu-
ton in no vindictive or excited temper.
The defense, which has been intrusted to
Charles O Conner and James T. Brady,
w B. Read, of Philadelphia Mr.. Brown,
of Baltimore Mr. Pugh, of Ohio, and
George Shea, formerly Corporation
Attorney for this city, will not =
so far as the leading counsel are con
cerned-descend to a mere pettiiogging
evasion Of the actual issues involved in
the trial On both sides, we feel assured,
| the desire will be that the case shall be
tried with thoroughness, and in tenn
per that shall correspond with The vast
national interests concerned
The occasion will be one which in
itself will mark an epoch in the constitu-
tional progress Of the country, and as
