COTTON.

The annual trade summaries of business done
in 1866, issued by leading brokers in Liverpool,
say
"The year 1866 has been very memorable
one whether we regard the extraordinary fuc.
tuations in price or the almost magical changes
in the aspect of cotton supply; it has been a
year fertile 10 surprises, battling all commercial
calculations, aud altogether without parallel in
the history of the cotton trade" For 1867, the
prospects of large cotton supply are set down
as 1.-THE reverse of favorable" The United
States and India, now the principal sources Of
supply, gave far more cotton in 1866 than was
calculated npon. Yet the past season in Amer
lea is described as San unusually bad one"-the
very worst known within living memory. 1t is
estimated for 1867, that 800, 900 bales will be
the United States crop, of which 100000 may
come to England-or perhaps, with an early
an import of 1,l63, 900 bales, in 1866. From
India there will be great deficiency in the
early part of the present year; very little cotton
was being shipped, and there was but poor
supply in stock. From this and the shattered
state of Bombay finances, India will not be able
to ship cotton largely to England earlier than
March. The deficiency in the import of India
cotton will probably be 400 900 to 5G0, 900 bales
in the first half of 1867, as compared with 1886.
If prices in Europe are high, large quantities Of
cotton will be drawn from India; if low, the
native consumption will absorb great deal
The grow ing crop all over India is reported
"large and good" From Egypt and Brazil sc-
counts arevery unfavorable. One of the Trade
Circulars says:
"Putting West India and other sundries on
the same footing, the aggregate supply to Great
Britain for the year would bo as follows:

THE MOON RESPONSIBLE.

The long mooted question, as to whether the
moon is made of green cheese or not, would
seem about to be decided emphatically in the
negative. The astronomers tell US that vol
cano IS IN active eruption upon the bosom of the
Queen of Night, and unless cheeses are volcanic
We consider it demonstrated that the moon is
not made of "green cheese" There are great
many sublupary people who hold the moon re-
sponsible for almost everything-such as the
tides, bad weather, failure in soap, in the yield
of pork when killed, or potatoes when dug. In
short there is scarcely anything that it is not
important to consult that luminary about.
Does anybody recolleet what was the state of
the moon when the Legislature met? If that body
convened On what old farmers call the "wreng
time of the moon" why then we have salts
factory explanation of many things it has done
and left undone. If the Legislature met on
what is termed ''dry moon" then it is not sur
prisiDg that the session should promise to be a
drought far as the interests of the State and
people are concerned. We know that the moon
will spoil fresh fish, and We confess that it is not
unlikely some Influence may have been exer-
cised by our satellite over the Legislature-
Hence We say it is important to determine how
the moon was when the Legislature met. We
are disposed to be kind and charitable, aud will
urge that the Legislature should not be con-
demned If its deeds can by any means be sad
died upon the moon.

THE SOUTH.

The Mobile Tribune says with truth, that to
radical Legislation is to be attributed of the
principal causes that prevents an influx of immi-
grafton into these States. Another cause is to be
sought for in the disposition of our planters TO
| hold on to land they are unable to cultivate,
rather than to divide it into small parcels, and
sell it at reasonable rates. There are agents in
our cities who have for sale any number of plan
tations, but, we know of not who is attempt
ing to sell them by retail-that is, offer man
Of moderate means the opportunity of investing
In a farm. He r:ust buy plantation or stay
away.
The term Southern has also had its influence
in keeping away immigration. If correct cen
coaid be taken of the biped in the world,
the world sefwould be alarmed at the number,
and would pray to God to send another flood, but
not another ark. The great majority of people
in Europe and at the North need nothing more
than to country called Southern, to be con-
WINGED that yellow fever, leprosy, Aslatlc chol-
era and Egyptian plague abide in it forever; that
there is a rattle-snake under every stone, a boa
constructor up every tree, and that aligators, mud
turtles, panthers, anteaters and hippopotami have
the freedom of all its cities. These impressions
they get from the vlanous pictures in school
Biographies. We confess that our earliest no.
tions of Egypt was received from one of these
plctures-pyramids IN the back ground, and IL,
front crocodile with an OK in its jaws. For a
number of years we thought an Egyptian was
never out of sight of crocodiles walking off with
oxen-the latter seized by the small of the back,
and their feet paving the air. We have recov
cred from all that; but there are thousands of
victims of Yankee biographies and free schools
that have not been so fortunate.
When good people hear our country called
Southern, they never look on the map for its
latitude, but only for the horrors mentioned
above.
We would like to convince all such that this
is not Southern land. On the contrary, it lies
in the very centre of the Temperate zone and en-
joys climate equal to that of the best part of
Europe. Its soil is the richest in the world, and
there is enough of i: cleared and fenced in, to
support population equal to that Of France
Ra roads and rivers are at hand to take the pro-
duce to market. This then, is the country to be
sought by white men who are wrestling with
starvation at home. Let them come in sufficient
numbers, and they can bid defiance to radical

RELATIONS WITH RELAEIoNs-When rels-
tions begin to feel out of humor with their re-
lations, the disease, if encouraged, becomes
mons.rous and unrootable. Cases have been
known where near relations have lived togethe.
for years and years without exchanging word.
And wher death came and separated them, .
food of remorse embittered tho last years Of the
one left, until they were ready to pray to God
to send death for them also, to relieve them Of
their intolerable anguish. Even good, pious,
truthfu! people are sometimes victims to this
bitterness of feeling against their relations
They perhaps suffer from the supercillious pride
of naughty relations, who, very inferior TO them
in goodness and worth, yet accident having made
them rich and prosperous, they feel they have
a right to snub their poor relations.

A NICE LAw.-Do you know why China is
called "the celestial country" It's because
they have a law there which wipes out all debts
on the first day Of January, whether people are
able to pay or not. Who will say that is not
better than the vilainons custom of taking notes,
or keeping accounts. How delightful il must
be, after constable has set up with you faith
fully until the 3lst day of December, to emerge
the next day and not know him Creditors are
very Insignificant creatures there on New Years
day The Chinese are very respectable people
in my opinion, and have no doubt that If
their law was adopted here, it would be con-
sIdered big thing. Then there would be no
lawyers, and writs and sheriffs and other dis.
turbers of domestic peace, and everybody would
prosper, Instead of being in state of chronic
insolvency like we are. In conclusion would
advise you not to try to be creditor. Credi-
tors are nuisanccs and are about to be abolished.

LOST BY NOT TAKING PAPER The
Charlestown (Virginia) Free Press says: Some
time ago, a gentleman in Charlestown was ap-
pointed auditor to distribute the funds in the
hands Of the administrators among the creditors
Notice of the auditor was published
1t SO happened that few creditors residing
in a certain portion of the county, who had col
lectively claims to the amount of seven or eight
hundred dollars, from the neglect of taking q
county paper, never heard Of the audit until
after the report of the auditor had been con-
frmed BY the court They then came into town
to inquire about the likelihood of securing their
claims; called upon an attorney, who examined
into the matter, and Informed them that they
had forever lost their money, and we presume
charged them five dollars for the Information
All this resulted in being too penurious to take
paper.

DIMENSIONS OF HEAvEN-The calculations
here made, based on text in Revelations, is
copied from an old Western paper:
A Description Of Hearen.-R Revelation, xxi
chapter, 16th verse: "And he measured the
city with reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The
lengtb, heighth and breadth of it are equal"
Twelve thousand furlongs, 7,920,000 feet,
which being cubed, is 94S, ,0S8 900, ,000, ,000,-
000,O0O,00O cubic feet, the half of which we
will reserve for the throne of God and the court
of Heaven, half Of the balance for the streets,
and the remainder divided by 4.96, the cubical
feet in the rooms 10 feet square and l6 feet
high, will be 5,743, ,750, 900, 900 rooms.
We will new suppose the world always did
and always will contain 100000 900 of inhabi.
tants, and generation will last 33 1-3 years
100000 every century, and that the world
will stand 100,0 years-27 900, 600, ,000, 900
persons. Then suppose there were IL ,230 such
worlds, equal to this number of inhabitants and
duration of years, then there would be room

,gg~ The freedmen o. Charlotte, at meeting
held 10 their Church week before last, adopted
the following sensible resolutions:
Resozved, l. That we hold it to be the duty
Of every good citizen to give his aid to the de-
velopment of the resources Of his native State
2 That We protest against the furnishing of
transportation, at the expense Of the Govern
ment, to remove labor from where it is needed,
to forward the interest of spectators who come
here and pay bonus of from SIS to $40 per
head, to runners to induce hands to leave their
employment, or refuse to make contracts at
home; and then deceive the Government by
representing that the people suffering for
want of work, that they may obtain transporta-
ton.

grafton league, and that we invite the co-opera-
ton of the neig boring farms, and sl others
favorable to the cause.

"These figures show falling off in the i'm
ports of $685. 900 bales as compared with the past
year, and deficiency of fully 250,000, as CON-
pared with the deliveries for consumption and
export (3,572, 900 bales), SO that if the same
rate of delivery were maintained for 1867, the
stock at the end Of the year in Liverpool and
London would be reduced from 58l 900 bales
to nearly zoo, 600 bales.
"Of course, such result as this could not be
allowed, and at least 100000 bales would be
kept in the ports, SO that on the theory Of sup

The question is, what price can Manchester
