TUE Future OF CurroN-A commercial
firm received letter from Manchester (Eng)
correspondent, who gives the following conclu-
sons in reference to the future supply Of cot
ton:
MANCHESTER, (Eng,) Juue, 1867.
1t appears to me that we are entering upon q
new state Of affairs, which must be taken into
account:
l. The immense losses Of the last two
sons have caused those that still stand up to
be more cautious. and have completely used
up the wild spectators and their special sup
porters (the several bsnks) on both sides Of the
water.
Q. The supply of the raw material is larger
than was at first expected
8. The probability that there is now on this
side fair prospect of 2,50o,ooo for next year.
4. The substitution Of woolen and linen
goods in lieu of cotton, which i, will take some
time 10 change again.
8. The general impression that cotton, as
well AZ everything. is too high, aud must come
down in price before consumption can attain
it's former proportions.

A FRESH WAITE q WHALE.
The Sea Serpent Superseded by a
New Aquatic Monster in Lake
Michigan-He Puffs, Blows, Means
and Eats Whitefish. .'..t. ~
From the Milwaukee Wisconsin. :.


From the Milwaukee Wisconsin,
That our great lake is inhabited by
something bigger and of more amphibi-
Gus nature than the whltefishes or the
sturgeon is evident. Those who sail the
great deep, and know what is going on
above and below the water, tell us so, and
wherefore should they lie about so small a
thing /? Daring the season we have fire.
uuently heard sailors speak of seeing fish
that looked something like whale, of the
harbor. Captain Mcbride, who has crossed
Lake Michigan times into the thousands,
SAYS he has frequently had his attention
called to whaley sort of a fish that makes
much noise and blowing. and always with a
huge puff that can be heard on a still
morning for mile out, sink below the sur
face of the water before he can get his boat
near enough to see and describe the beast.
Captain Consaul, of the tug Davidson, a
wide-awake sailor, says that frequently
very early in the morning, or before day
light, when he goes out into the lake, he
has seen the monster lying off the mouth of
the river and moving slowly along, as If
devouring objects that came out of the
river. On one occasion, having the wind
strongly in its favor, he bore away for the
fish, and was enabled to get so near that he
could plainly see its back, which seemed
formed like that of a whale, with huge fins
attached, that looked big enough to destroy
a boat at one blow. Upon discovering the
tug steaming toward it the fish or
beast, which ever it was, utter
ed low moaning sound as if
very much frightened, and then blowing a
loud blast, it sunk. The captain cruised
about the spot for some time, but no trace
of the fish was afterward seen. 1t is de-
seribed as being much larger than any
sturgeon which has ever been seen in the
lakes; some of those who have seen 1t es-
innate its length at fully sixteen feet. Its
head is large and It's jaws capacious.
As another evidence that there are mon
sters of the deep in the lake, we have the
fact of the finding of large sized fish on the
banks, which have evidently been bitten in
two by something not of their species
something of the shark species, that is fond
of delectable meal, and likes it on the
wing. .sl,s- r-s Il FL 't,,. 5...

Correspondence Of the Free Press.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 1867.
Mr.. EDITOR The papers already inform you
of the organization of the Legislature The cleo
ton of Mr. Miller as Speaker is generally regard
ed As severe blow at Gov. Swann's prospects
for tho Senate of the United States. Almost the
entire talent and strength of the Legislature
comes from the Eastern Shore, yet rather than
weaken their chance for tho Senator all the
prominent members from that shore, any one of
whom under other circumstances would have
been glad TO have accepted the honor of the speak
ershp, relinquished their claim, and thus con-
ferrcd the dgnificd post upon New Highlander,
simply because he came from the Western Shore
The fricnis of Governor Swami are .nevertheless
confident of his election.
The demoralized condition of the public mind
is fully illustrated by tho number of appoint
mcuts made to subordinate places in both Houses,
and by the still greater number who were appli-
cants and who were disappointed, and still more
by the individuals who have been appointed -
Among them you will recognize an ex Speaker
of the House of Delcgates-two cx-Senators-.ex-
members Of the House, and other prominent
politicians who, few years ago would have re-
HoiuSu tueHoSi'eS 10 W nave tUelF
names mentioned even in such a connection.
A Constitutional Convention and the restora-
tonof to their rights are frcd
facts In the name of all that is just and right
now that the war is over, why should it be 9TH
erwise7
The present Treasurer, Robert Fowler, has n
formidable competitor in the person of Sprigg
TIarwood, Esq. If Gov Swami should be elected
Senator, Mr.. Harwood's friends will insist upon
his selection ms Trea surcr, with every probability
of having their demands granted. It's not likely
that the Conservative will have both of the only
two prominent Offices in the gift of tho Legisla-
ture.
You will observe that among all the Offices
conferred in the organization of the Legislature,
none were given to either of the westeren coun-
ties, which is generally thought to DO both unwise
and unjust.
During my brief so iourn in Annapolis will
continue TO drop you an occasional line giving
you the progress Of things in the ancient city,
The prospects for gay winter are very patter-
ing, balls, receptions &C., innumerable.

Square on the Platform

ESinco tho avowal Of Mr.. Creswell
in the U s. Senate, that he was in favor
ofnegro Suffrag, ia Maryland, the Hr-
aid, tho Radical organ of this county, has
boldly taken the field in favor of the same
thing. 1t argues that as they are liable to

dence, that all men are created free and
equal, and endowed by their creator with
certain inaliouable rights" will yet be

step more and he will, like Thad Stevens

Investigating Committees

Ey The financial condition Of the State
presents too favorable an aspect for the
Radical organ of this place. Il fears
''there is something wrong," and suggests
the propriety of committee "to give the
affairs ofthe Treasury Department search
ing Investigation"
What wonderful mania these Radicals
have for investigating committees, and yet
for year or more the Press has been
teeming with charges of thefts and pccu
atoms in the U. S. Treasury during the
administration of Secretary Chase without
their even SO much as limiting at an in
vestigation. 1t should be remembered
however that Mr. Chase is negro wor-
shipper and can therefore plumber aAd stoal
with impunity.
The Treasurer of Maryland makes d
Report gratifying to- the people. There
are no charges or suspicious of anything
wrong 1t mo sooner appear $, however,
than the Radical scavinger of this county
assails the Treasurer, not by direct charges
of anything wrong, but by mean cowardly
insinuations. 1t is "too favorable" We
do not doubt that they have been taken by
surprise and feclchagrined that so fine a
field for peculation should have csc ,ped
their observation. Tho Treasurer, nor the
party with which he is now acting, will
not object, but rather court an investiga-
ton. II can but expose tile extravaganza
and petty pilferipgs of the former Radical
administration such as the voting to give
each member S so worth of stamps by the
Legislature and similar other loyal
deprada'ions on the public purse. We
trust Pete will succeed in inducing the
Legislature to order this committco. Wo

Radical Lying.

ES~During the last campaign when
Frank Thomas spoke in this county he
held in his hand the Constitution of Mary
land, aud read thatIclause which. declares
that call whites " with certain quali6ca-
tions, should be allowed to<ote, and they
only. and then triumphantly proclaimed
that negro Suffrage was not at issue, and
that negro never could vote in this
State, until the white people, by their
votes, called convent m and altered the
Constitution. cxtcn ling the right to the
blacks.
His Radical hearers drank in all that
he said aud believed that he told the
truth, although the Constitutional amend
ment. which no advocated, if adopted,
virtually gave the negroes the right to
vote. But who would have supposed that
Frank Thomas could DO such lying
wretch, and abandoned hypocrite, as to
frame bill in congress, within three
months from the time in which he Sc bold
ly held UP in biz hand the CONSTITUTE on of
Maryland, which gives negroes the right
to vote in this State, without even consult
ing the whites, besides REMINDING Mary
land back into the form of territory? But
so it is. The leader of Radicalism iu
Western Maryland is trying TO degrade
his native State. and elevate the negro
by despotic exersise, of power, for which
he can find no authority or precedent in
the history of tho country. And this,
too, in the face Of his solemn promises to
the contrary only last November. What
stronger evidence could wo desire to show
the villainons tendency of Radicalism than
this action of the defamer Of Governor
MeD"welrs daughter,
Senator Uroswell, the personifcation OF
bayonct rule and mob violence, another
leading Radical. declares, in the u S.
Senate, If Maryland dared to frame new

Of a majority of her citizens he would pre-
