for the week amounted to 900 bales at
about l4Ad. for middliDg urlsnds. The
sales to-day comprised about 25, 900 bales,
prices closing at Nd. advance.
q Commissioner Newton, of the
Agricultural Department, in his re-
port for September, states that in the
seven months of the present year the
receipts of cotton in Great Britain
from America, were one million and
eighteen thousand bales, of four hun
dred pounds each. American aver
aged 345c. per tb, India 22c., and all
others averaged 27c. The cotton
crop for this season is estimated at

ton of stock, as compared with 1860
are as follows: Horses IS per cent,

EMIGRATION FROM CANADA TO
THE WESTERN STATEs.-It is stated
that large emigration from Canada
to the Western States began last
year, and has continued during 1866
without intermission. A Canadian
journal states that great numbers of
artisans are leaving Quebec and go
ing West to the Mississippi valley, in
search of a livelihood, and that
among them during the present year
there have been no less than one
thousand carpenters.

One good effect the embrace of the re bel
cause by tic ProsideRt will have, is that Il
strips the sleeps clothing from the wolf
who sits at his right hand. In his ea.
'lorsement Of the Presidents haranguo, Mr..
Seward illustrates his truo character. Aside
from this, the peoplI can now understand
why the plsns Of President Lincoln were
so frequently interrupted. The political
traitor, hovered about him like an evil
spirit, and, by pretense OF being friend
aud in harmony with his policy, did more
10 retnrd the cause of tho Union than any
other nRln in the Cabihet--Bair not except.
cd Whatever disposition johnson may
have had TO do right, ho was entirely too
weak to resist the counsels of Seward aud
the Virginia delegation. The friends Of
freedom, IN New York, account for the
double dealing Of Seward, and his final
surrender TO the rebel cause, as tho natural
result of disappointed ambition Failing
to receive the endorsement of tho American
people for the high position of President,
he took the next best thing that offered
trusting to time and opportunity to secure
tho desire Of his heart. Revenge, by mean
men, is ofion sweet triumph, yet none bnt
political scallwags ever resort to such
basoncss.

Rcmarknble Well In Indiana.

The Torre Ilauie QndiOna) Cypress says:
We have mentioned several times tho prog.
ress in boring an oil well at Lodi, on the
Wabash, some forty miles north Of this
city. few days since the augor broke
through the roof of cavity. Tho auger
was taken out when gas began to como up
IN considerable quantities, pushing the suit
water before il, and causing ID tic flow over
tho top OF the conductor. After tho salt
water was driven out sulphur water con.
iinued to flow in small stream. Tho well
was sunk four feet deeper which opened
new cavities aud increased the amount of
water TO ten gallons minute, and it is now
flowing tivo hundred barrels a day Of white
sulphur. The water as il flows from the
conductor is whito after standing awhile
L deposits a black sediment aud becomes
cloar. On being agtated it boils aud emits
gas. In mineral ingredients, dsasreoablo
smell and specific gravity, il is snid to OK.
coed the Lafayette artesian---especiaily the
sulphurous odor and il is claimed that il
will rank with the most famous mineral wa
tors in the world. The company, we un.
dcrstand, will cease boring until the water
is annlyged aud tested.

Parson BRowNLow, in the Knoxville WIG
pithily says D." If the people are with the
President in his policy, it is the Southern
people, who fought four years to destroy
tue government, and who clamored for the
capture of the President that they might
have the pleasure Of hanging him." lie
adds:
"The party denounced in Congress as
radicals, aboltiOnists, and as fact ion
composes tCo thirds of both houses, aud
they are the Representatives of large ma
jorities in all the loyal States, who will
stand bp them, even in conflict with the
President and the newborn friends, galvan-
izcd loyalists, and amnestied patriots, who
now crowd out from the White House all
the tried loyalsts of the country. Those
who labor to bring on a conflict between
the President and Congress are not the
friends of either, as the future will show.
For if tn, people ever did plant them
selves firmly on any platform, it is on the
platform now occupied by the so-called
radicals or faction, constituting the major
ity in the present Congress. We go with
that faction of radicals wo approve their
principles and policy; and, live or die, sink
or swim, survive or perish, we risk our
life, our fortune, and our sacred honor on
board of that ship. Ii is barqno sailing
under the banner of beauty and glory, the
stars ard stripes of the country--l banner
that the, conflicts Of the last eighty years
have never seen conquered. Always victo.
rious, because always in the right, it is not
to be disgraced by the combined assaults Of
home traitors or malignant foreign foes"

Trusting tho President.

The Chicago RcpUbiicun contains point-
ed article concerning the disposition of peo-
pie to h0l on tO the Pre- es1cnt, referring
especially to Cox and Sherman of Ohio, and
the Chicago Journal. II truly observes
that there wae n tino when Andrew john
son WIS honored and respected by all loyal
men. That respect received very rude
shock on the 4th of March, when Mr. John.
sons speech, though less indecent and less
violent than his speech of Thursday, was Of
similar cliaracter. II received mother
shock when Il authorized thereorgauization
OF the rebel forces in Mississippi; another
when vile woman in Washington was
found TO bo selling Presidential paftions Il,
rebels with the Presidents signature not
yet dry upon them; another when he We
toed The Freedmens Bureau Bill, upon
grounds OF sophistry aud misrepresentation;
aud finally his speech OF Thursday convert

despair. And while this was the case with
loyal men, how WAS it with rebels aud
Copperheads The veto aud tho speech
hlled them with all the satisfaction Of tri.

Now, The true people OF Che Union will bc

Effect OF Tho Presidents Veto on The
. lu..H Industry of The south, ......


The Washington correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial gives the following
picture Of the effect tho Presidents veto Of
the Freedmnn's Bureau Bill has produced
on Southern industry:
Accounts from all parts Of the South
agree in the representation Of most dis.
astrous disturbances among the producing
classes. Many employers in the delirium
OF thcr JOY count upon eure and speedy
return of the domestic institution in all its
glory aud in the fulness OF such confidence
already assume slavo'driving prerogatives
with such spirit that the imu ,late result
is tho suspension OF profitable labor, aud
in many instances the voluntary removal OF
the a6orerA to garrisoned towns, aud even
to distant States. 1t is already ostinat toll
that the veto will cost the South one fourth
OF her next crop; and IL matters do not
mend, this estim .te must be doubled or
trchlod, Northern men are generally pro.
pariRg to abandon the South, 80
