THE COTTON TRADE.

The New York Shipping and Commercial
List of the 10Th June, publishes the following
in reference to the Cotton trade
"Such English authorities as are noted for
keeping careful and precise accounts of the
movements of Cotton, together with the future
prospects of the trade, are unanimous in the
opinion that Cotton has about touched bottom ;
that the point has been reached at which con-
sumers, in England and on the Continent, can
buy freely and work to moderate profit, and
hence, that there is now legitimate foundation
for healthy business On the other hand, the
supply is so ample 10000 bales of all kinds at
Liverpool juno l y and the absence of specula-
ton SO marked, that no important advance is
looked for, recent indications pointing to IL all3
pence the natural price, at present, for Middllng
American. Owing to the low figure at which
the stock in this country has been reduced
through the free shipments Of last winter and
spring English spinners have apparently made
up their minds that from July lst to December
lst they can, practically speaking, receive
scarcely any cotton from this side the Atlantic,
but they 60 not argue from this probability that
any material advance in price is likely to follow.
They are clearly of opinion that the import Of
the India staple will increase in the same de-
gree that the arrivals of the American fall off,
and thus, with the stock kept pretty full till
late in the Autumn, little change in price will
probably take place. aside from the possible
widening Of the margin which at present exists
between Surats and American.

NEW PROCESS
OfAahing Tar, Pitch and Tarpentine from
Pine Wood.

~ ~A0@s"J IucB ana IHTpeHttUe from
Pine Wood. s-
The following account from the New Orleans
Crescent OF new process of manufacturing tar,
! turpentine, and rosin, will be of interest:
By invitation of the parties connected with
the new works on ST. Peter street, for distilliug
pine wood, we visited them few days since,
and, thinking it matter Of no little Importance
to our citizens, especially those who reside at a
distance, We have concluded to give them the
benefit of our investigation. The works we saw
are capable only of distiiling one cord per day,
being erected merely to show the process and
the amount of products that could be realized
from given quantity of wood. They were 10 10
full operation when We arrived, and we will
briefly state what we saw and learned from the
owner of the patents, who was present:
The retort which contained the wood is en-
closed with brick, the top and bottom being
alone exposed. From pipe connected with
the bottom of the retort, a stream of pitch was
nected by larger pipe with the top of the re.
tort, the crude turpentine and pyroligenous
acids were running in quite a largo stream.
These, allowed to settle in receiver, separate
themselves, aud the turpentine is drawn off and
introduced into still. From a condenser con-
nected with the still, the clear, pure spirits of
turpentine was collected 10 a receiver ready for
market. A good article of rosn was also taken
from the still. We never saw finer article Of
turpentine, and among the number present was
an old manufacturer, who pronounced the pro-
cess complete success, and that there was no
doubt it would entirely supercede the old way
oe manufacturing. After all the crude material
has passed from the retoIt to the condenser, the
connection between the two is closed-:he fire
increased and the wood charred. ,..~.
The whole thing is simple and yet complete,
and We should judge the works could be had at
small expense. The patentee informed US
that he has already disposed of quite number
Of rights, and that the parties purchasing we're
busily engaged in putting up their works, and
would soon have them in full operation. This
we were glad to learn, as everything of the kind
adds to the future wealth of the South, and we
confidently believe that as soon as it is general
ly known this will become great and impor-
tant branch of business wherever there is any
pine wood to be found. We annex list, as
given us, of the average yield by it from one
cord of our fat pine wood: twenty-five gallons
spirits turpentine, one hundred gallons pyroli-
genous acid, one barrel rosin, one barrel pitch,
two barrels tar, fifty bushels charcoal.

DEFAcED GREENBAcKs.-We have several
times notified the public, that torn or defaccd
greenbacks and fractional currency, will not be
received at the National Banks, only at heavy
discount. We received 81 bill from friend
which has piece torn off at one corner. about
the size of quarter of dollar, which will not
pass for any thing on our streets, and for which
we can only get IS or 80 cents at the Bank.
This is no fault of the Banks, but in accordance
with instructions from Washington City. But
for all we can see, il is direct fraud upon the
people! Bills which have holes 10 them or
small pieces torn from them, are all discounted
at Q loss. The Banks require tie bills to be
returned to them perfect, with all the parts at
tached, or they discount them ct loss.

WAR OF RACES.

The war of races into which venal demagogues
are seducing the coored people of the South
presents one feature which should engage the
attention of those who are thus cruelty victimized
Let not any temporary local strength deceive
the black people, aud engage them in such a
conflict; for in very few years they will be re-
duced everywhere to helpless minority Gov
ernor Brown, of Georgia, we'll explains this in a
late speech, thus:
"You should remember that as soon as this
political question is settled large number OF
people from other States Of the Union and other
countries will come here and settle among u.s.
Nearly all who come will be white men. This
will cause our race to increase 10 numbers much
faster than yours Look, for instance, at some
of the North western States where twenty live
years ago the country was wilderness, and now
the State has half million or million of inhab-
itants. They have not been raised there. The
great mass has poured in from other places where
the population was too thick, and filled up the
country and made a great State in few years
But YOU must recolect there are very few black
people among them, So our territory will he
filled up after time with large population. -
You will then be greatly in the minority. You
can look only to the natural increase Of your race
and not TO increase from abroad. Doubtless You
bave noticed since you are free that you are not
increasing as fast as you did before. You see
few young children of your race. There are
causes for this that need not now explain.
simply call your attention to the fact. 1t follows
then that with a quarrel between us, or war oi
races, you would be mostly injured by it Mark
this, and when any man, whether from the North
or South, whether white or black, encourages
you to quarrel with u.s. or to make war upon US,
recollect he is neither your friend nor our friend
nor the friend Of the country, but he is control
led by selfshness and has some bad object to
accomplish" ..
