RAISING THE WIND AT THE AoADEMY-The en-.
terprsing managers of this popular theater, al
ways on the alert for every novelty and improve
ment have succeeded in raising breeze that will
inevitably blow money into their exchequer. The
compound double action, impressible, ventilating,
refrgerating, purifying and ire-annihilating ap-
paratus just introduced there, fills the hiatus lust
beginning to be felt in these days in buildings
where crowds gather. Now that we have seen
and felt its beneficial effects, we are surprised it
has not been made sine qua non in all theaters
used in summer. Aside from removing the
atmosphere as fast as it becomes vitiated by pass
ing through thousand lungs, the great tanning
which communicates sense of freshness and
GOODNESS that the public, having once experienced
will not willingly dispense with in this warm
weather. The purifying process will be equally
a desideratum in winter when the same ma
chnery is to heat the theater with hot water
In the dress circle the draught is Thoroughly dis
tributed in manner most grateful to the visitor,
but in the parquette think the main ventilators
are too large, distracting the attention of those
| sitting very near. By decreasing their dimensions
| and proportionately increasing their number, we
cannot think of any improvement more accept
| able tor summer, unless indeed Messrs. Spalding
| BidWell, whose enterprise and liheraty are un-
| ceasing, impregnate the voracious blower with
barrels of cologne to be gently difGused amongst
their patrons, while active ganymedes dispense
gratuitous dishes of ice cream.
| The promenade saloon too is notable mark
of progress. The innumerable curioses of the
museum with the sparkling fountain help pleas
antly to loiter away the intervals between the
acts, in sweet converse with ones sweetheart,
or even in stretching one's crampcd legs. 1t is
a comfort to think too that the powerful ma
chinery has attainments that would Instantly ex-
originate. The managers are as successful in pro
tecting as in attracting customers, and we shall
not be surprised to find these improvements gener
ally introduced. 51 .e
Mr. W. ii. LISDo--lt will be seen by referring
to the card of this gentleman, in another column
that he has opened general agency and collect
ing Office at No. l4l Magazine Street, where thos,
in need of his services can find him, and wher.
any business confded to him will receive promp
attention. For several years previous to the war
Mr., Lindo was connected with the Office of Adam
Express Company in this city, and more recent,
was at the literary depot Of Messrs. Belock & Co.
on Canal street, and in both positions he proved
himself an energetic, efficient and courteous agent
whose integrity has never been impeacled. Hag
ing had occasion frequently to acknowledge ms
courtesy to US, we take this opportunity 10 recon-
mend him as one in which we have the utmost
confidence, and advise those requiring collections
made to intrust them to him. Es5 rgG" s-

SUGAR AND COTTON.

From al! the information at hand, we are
Of opinion the cotton crop of 1866 will not
exceed one million five hundred thousand
bales, a little over one-fourth Of the crop Of
1861. In proof of the correctness of this
estimate the Columbus GA Sun makes the
following statement:
Louisiana, Arkansas. Mississippi West Tennes-
sec aAd Alabama have been the great cotton pro-
ducins regions They have been relied on for over
three millions Of the CROP w hat Is their condition
now? In the rich and productive territories OF
louisiana Mississippi, West Tennessee and the
valley of the Tennessee in North Alabama, what
of African labor was left by the Federal army Is
completely demoraliEed, and is composed Of old,
infrm women and children. Some are dead,
some are in the army, and many have congrcgated
in the towns and cities, seeking employment more
agreeable TO them than field labor.
In South Alabama. il is thought, African labor
is in better trim. There the absent from the field
labor are not so numerous, but from the best in
formation we can gather from the productive sec
tons Of South Alabama, African labor IS much
demoraliEed, and those who have contracted for
plantation service cannst be relied upon for more
than half the service they did perform while in
slavery. Even there one fourth to one-third of
the laborers are absent from plantation service:
In Georgia, we satisfied not more than the
third of the crop of 1861 can be relied on. Plant
ers will make an effort. and possibly large sur
face will be planted in cotton but we believe the
labor cannot be relied in the crisis of the crop.
and as a consequences grass will become master Of
the situation, and much will have to be ADAM
doned.
In South Carolina. as also in Georgia, the valu-
able Sea Island lands are in possession of the
negroes, and but little can be expected from that
quarter In the interior Of South Carolina.
African labor has been greatly demoraliEed by
the presence of negro troops, so much so that but
little labor will be got out of those even who con-
tract and but little cotton can be looked for from
that State.
These are facts well known TO all who are
acquainted with the condition in which the war
had left the cotton region and the disposition
ofthe negro as reliable labOrer under the present

ANAGREEAnLE SURPRISE.

Senator Doolittle in recent speech in Con-
necticut, the land of steady habits, defended
the conservative policy Of the President by
announcing to his audience that Gen. Sher-
man, who had recently been on an inspec-
tioa tour in Arkansas, had told him, that
q man can now drive with horse and buggy
all over that State p This was intended as
an agreeable surprise, but many, no doubt
received it with incredulity. Now, to people
living in the South, it will seem equally
strange that such an announcement should
be necessary There has not been day
since the conclusion Of the war that the
Southern States could not have been travelled
over with as much safety as the States of the
North, and the fact that such a delusion
rests upon the minds of honest people in that
section shows the singular and unjust preju-
dices We have 20 encounter. And yet we
have papers supported in our midst whose
only business is, by perversion aud misrep-
resentation, to create and keep alive such
preiudices. Shame upon such men.

THE LATE GEN. TYLER.

A correspondent of the Eufaula, Ala,
Neirs corrects the statement Of Gen. r. c.
Wilson with regard to the superior force
which il is asserted defended that place
when captured in April last and pays a
merited tribute 10 the memory Of General
Tyler, the gallant Tennessean who fell in
defence of the post. He says that hun
dred and twenty-five men, poorly armed,
held the fort for six hours against force of
about two thousand well-armed troops, and
adds:
A more gallant instance has never bsen known
since the time Of Charles, King Of Sweden, when
ne, with his body-Euard and few house servants.
in the heart Of the enemy's country, defended
himself against entire army of Turks, until his
place Of retreat was burned to the ground by
lighted arrows from the assaulting party.
Those evil days have passed, and we can
never recall them without sadness and re-
greet, but we cannot but cherish the memory
Of men, who in defence of what they be-
lieved to be right, bore themselves like
heroes and patriots.

Ev1DrxoE ON nnooxsrRuCrroS.

Miss CLARA BURTON was examined as
witness before the Reconstruction Commit
tee touching the important questions before
it--questions not exceeded in importance by
any ever discussed before any deliberative
body that ever assembled. The public first
knew Of this lady in the philsnthropic char
acter of 'iold Mortality" seeking out the
graves and chiseling into legibility the in
scriptions upon the tombstones and head
boards Of soldiers who had fallen in the fght
or sacrificed their live in the service Of the
country. This was commendable employ
ment and no sort of exception can be taken
to it by any sort Of people. The scene Of
her labors was the graveyard near Ander-
sonville, Georgia. 1t is presumable, how
ever, that any one who undertakes such a
duty is an enthusiast like the old covenanter
described by Walter Scott, and that their
mental organizations lartake Of the char
acteristics of that class. Especially is this
likely to be SO in the case of female. The
most striking peculiarly in such individuals
is their devotion TO one idea One thought
anditsimmediate connections seems to absorb
the whole faculties.
Taking this view Of the case, and we
think il reasonable one, the Reconstruction
Committee exhibited very poor judgment in
summoning this lady as witness in such
matters. We make no mention Of the lack
of good taste or good sense displayed in
catechising any woman upon affairs Of
government or politics, for we have no in
tention Of mooting the question Of woman's
rights but simply call attention to the
strong presumption that in addition to the
natural disquali6cations of her sex, this lady
is likely to be an incapable witness upon
matters that require close observation, dis
eliminating judgment, and an utter absence
Of bias in the formation Of opinions.
The publication of the proceedings
Of that Committee is not calculated to give
its opinions great influence with thinking
and rejecting persons of any sex, age, or
condition but rather leads to the inference
that such witnesses as Miss BUR-
TON are called more for the
purpose of extracting pretexts from their
testimony to justify mischief already deter
mined on, than to elicit calm and dispassion-
ate statements which would enable it to do
the work Of enlightened statesmen.

MINORITY REPORT OF THE RECON.
STRUCTION COMMITTEE.

The following is the minority report OF
the Reconstruction Committee on the pro-
position to admit the delegates from Ten
nessee to their seats
Mr.. Rogers presented the minority report
with the following reasons:
/. That Tennessee is now, and has been
at all times since her admission, one of the
United States of America.
2. No State can by any act of its people
be withdrawn from The Union without the
consent Of every other State.
3. The people of Tennesse by virtue of an
ordinance Of secession claimed the right to
withdraw from the Unien, and to enforce
this pretended right placed portion of her
people in a state of insurrection and rebellion
against the United States, while the Gov
eminent of the United States denied the
right of the people of Tennessee to withdraw
the State from the Union, and to settle the
question portion of the people of Tennessee,
with the aid of the so-called Confederate
Government, engaged with the United States
in conflict of arms; that conflict decided
that the people of Tennessee had no founda-
ton in law or in fact, and an attempted with
drawal of the State was by the Federal Gov
eminent prevented, and consequently the
destruction of the constitutional relations OF
Tennessee within the Union was prevented,
and the State kept in the Union.
4. There is no such thing as State being
in the Union and possessing the right of local
and domestic legislation without the abso-
lutte right to demand representation in Con-
gress, because the Constitution is based upon
the equality of States
5. That the joint resolution does not ad-
NIT members from Tennessee, to take their
seats in this body upon their qualifying by
oath, according TO law
8. There is no question in the minds of
the Committee as to the loyalty of the men,
bers elect from Tennessee, and, therefore,
upon the fact that the State of Tennessee is
now one of the United States of America,
within the Union, Representatives ought to
have the oath Of Office administered TO them
at once, by the Speaker, and they be ad-
mitted members of this House and, there
fore, we recommend as a substitute for said
joint resolution and preamble, that the
House at once adopt the following resolution,
or one of like character, to wit:
"ResOlued, by The House Of Representatives.,
That the Representatives elect to Congress
from the State Of Tennessee be, and they are
hereby, admitted to take their seats in the
House as members thereof upon their taking
the oath prescribed by law"

This growing tendency on the part of the

lations of private life, for the sake of being
sensational, is such an offense against good
taste, and against the sensibility CT indiyi-

must have very poor respect indeed, for
