To sw1ndlers.

We are constantly in receipt of swindlinc
propositions from Northern Advertising
Agents, and have determined to spot every
one OF them from this time on, who NAV
have the impudence to approach as with
their humbuging notices This week we
have severahl columns Of advertisements.
sent by s. Bronner & Co., New York. all to
be paid for IN due bills Of the advertisers.
when three times the amount of the bill is
taken out IN trade. 1t is proposition which
carries fraud on its very face, and we warn
our Southern exchanges to have nothing to
do with such swindling men. Don't touch
an advertisement unles it Is accompanied
with the money, and then at your regular
rates. Let al adopt this course, as we have
done, and you VIII see the good results
Vest Tenn. Whig.
In this connection we wish to say a few
words to our exchanges, many of whom are
advertising on contract with Shuts & Co.
of Troy, n. y We speak from experience
when we say that Shuts e Co. are swindlers
and se6undrels and forgers, and unworthy
of countenanee from the Southern press.
For ourselves we join hands with the Whig
and shall not again, under any circumstances
touch an advertisement from an agent, un-
less it is accompanied with the cash, and
that at our regular rates.-Frazaslir Re0iea0.
In this connection, also, ace wish to say
thataoe too have been suc-ed in and likewise
deceived " by every internal scamp who has
sent Us advertisements to publish or {" con-
tracts to sign and shall in the future, give
" advertising agencies and their humbug-
ing, thieving allies, wide berth. We have
adopted the policy pursued by the West
Tennessee, Whig, and hope that every paper
in The south viii do the same.

THE JONES AND McCOOL PRIZE
FIGHT.
Aaron Jones in Constant Training.

From the Cincinnati Gazette of Wednesday,
Aaron Jones is still quietly going through
his daily process of training at Shady Grove,
and is said to be In an admirable condition.
Latterly he has been exercising with view
to improve his wind, and in this important
point it is believed he is fully up to the mark
His quiet and unassuming manners have
made him many friends, and while he has
all confidence in his capacity to win the
fight, there is not the slightest evidence of
"brag IN his conversation. He is faith
fully looked after by Mr.. Cusick, who is un-
questionably the best trainer In this country,
and perhaps in the world.
We hear that McCoole has lately been
paying more attention to his training, and Is
consequently improving in condition. Per-
haps he has awakened to a sense of the seri-
Gus job on hand, and don't feel quite so con
fdent Of his ability to polish of the English
man.
There is an erroneous impression which
we with others received, that McCoole Is
considerably the Junior of Jones Now, the
contrary is the fact The latter was born IN
1885, and McCoole in 1892, so that the more
gigantic combattant does not possess the
generally conceded advantage of juveniiity
The betting is somewhat mixed In St
Louis considerable money has been deposited
at odds Of one thousand to six hundred dol
lars on McCoole Here ne is the favorite
at one hundred to seventy-fve, while In
New York they are betting odds on Jones.
The fight will come of, if nothing inter
venes to prevent it, on the 3lst of this month,
and we believe that the river trip has been
abandoned, and that the ground selected for
the mill will be reached by railway. As
the day draws near the excitement increases,
and however much the moral sense of pro
prIety may be shocked, there is no question
that the affair is the prominent topic of in
terest Of the day.
1t is contemplated to get up an entertain
ment for the benefit Of Aaron Jones, within
a week or ten days, at Mozart Hall, upon
which occasion he will put in an appearance
IN fighting costume, and set-t0 with a scien-
tifc amateur.

groesl not loving labor at any time, VIII pre-
Ter ldieness, when they find that viii pay
better than industry.
The price which the crop of this season
will bear is q mattes of interesting conjee-
ture. The present price Of cotton is about
tEFenty-tOur cents Ia New ork for middlings
Some suppose that cotton will further de-
cline, and, in another year range from ten to
twelve cents, specie, as It did In the year OK
two previous to the war. Mr.. David Akin
son, and there is no better authority, argues
that IN two or three years, at furthest the
supply of cotton from all parts Of the world
viii exceed the demand On the other hand,
it may be asserted that cotton is now grown
at a loss IN this country, in Egypt, in India,
and IN Brazil If the SUPPLY exceed the de.
mand and cause a decline IN price, that will
soon regulate itself by a diminished supply.
Prices are not going back TO the rates of SIX
or eight years ago. There has been gen-
eral rise Of prices since, from the increase
of the quantity of money IN circulation,
whether com or paper.
The Southern States may not be able, IA
our present political and financial condition,
to complete with other cotton regions IN the
market of the world. They VIII complete
and excel Ia quality, but It may be doubted
whether they can produce the article aS as
low a price
1t Is, however, the hope and conFic5loh OF
many, that after some further time and more
practical experience, labor and capital viii
be adjusted to the cotton culture, and that
the culture win also be aided by liberal leg
islation and much needed agricultural lm-
provements. Should this hope be verified
the South may again possess a practical and
beneficial monopoly Of the cotton market OF
the world But the manufacturing interest
Of England does not so recognize it.
So far from again depending upon the
United States for a supply of four millions
of bales of cotton year, the Manchester
Association apprehends another cotton crisis
here The alienation Of black labor from
the cotton fields, and political uncertainties,
will, it is feared, still further reduce the an
nuai product Of cotton. Perseyering efforts
are therefore made to increase the cotton pro-
duct of India and Of other countries.
The decline in the price Of cotton since
the first of June last has been so great that
holders Of cotton have suffered severely.
There is not a large quantity of the last
years crop on hand, but it is very low, and
cotton dealers do not expect any eonsidera-
bic rise 1t has, however, touched its lowest
point for the present.

Terrible Calamity at Bovina.

One of the most terrible caIamities we
probably ever heard of, occurred at Vicks-
burg during the last and beginning Of the
present week. 1t seems that on Tuesday
the 18th, number of young people from
Yicksburg assembled near Bovina and en-
jOyed themselves at a social party The
cause no one seems to know, but they were
all taken down between that time and Sun
day morning with disease as fatal and re-
sembing cholera, and seven have already
died. Whisper has it that they were all
pOisoned-poisoned either by innocent or
foul means The story Is as frightfuI as any
told of the Borgias, or described by Bulwer
in his Rienzi. 1t sounds more ike one of
the romances of Ainsworth in his descrip-
tion Of old St Paul. The Yicksburg Times
says
- Within the brief space Of time that has
elapsed since those glad young spirits parted,
Wednesday morning, seven have uttered
their last good night, and have passed be-
yOnd the river of death, twelve others are
still Ill, and some Of them, we regret to say,
are quivering between life and death, totter-
ing on the very brink Of the grave Among
those who have already perished, We note
the names of Miss Rebecca Hebron, Miss
Ellen Iribble, Mr.. James Biliingslea, VIM
Tribble, Hal. Wilkins, Thornton Sthreshly
and Allen Auter Those now Ill are Miss
MolHe Browning Of this city, Miss Victoria
Bachelor and Miss Nioia Brabston, of the
BoVina neighborhood, and Messrs. Joseph

Hicks, Messrs. Andrew and Henry Bolles,
brothers, a. @, Brooks, Capt. J. M, Batch

Reutrn of Disguised Brazilian Emil
grants,

The Montgomery (AIa.) Advertiser, gives
the following account of the return of a
party of disappointed Southerners, who had
obstinately insisted on exiling themselves
and seeking home in Brazil:
There arrived at the Central Hotel last
night party of ladies ana gentlemen who
left Brazil last month, thoroughly, totally,
heartily disgusted with their new homes
among the hybrid masses in the overrated,
well fattered country Brazil The party is
composed entirely Of Alabamians. They
give affecting and pitiful accounts Of the
suferings of many hundreds Of deluded
Southerners, who were lured away from
their friends by the tempting offers of the
Brazilian Government and the tales of
wild and impulsive American adVenturers.
They. represent that there is no regularly or
ganized Government in Brazil-there Is no
society-but little cultivation among the in
habitants-no laudabIe ambition-no ways
of making money-the people scarcely know
ing the meaning Of the word kindness,
the American citizens live about In huts,
uncared for-there is a general dissatisfac-
ton among the emigrants, and the whole
Brazil representation is a humbug and a
farce. The American Consul is IN receipt
of numerous and constant applications from
helpless American citizens to assist them in
getting back to their true and rightful coun-
trv

Loss of Cotton

The Sentinel, printed at Grenada, Miss,
thus refers to the cotton crop in that vicinity:
The reports which reach US from the coun-
try in relation to the cotton prospect Is not
at all encouraging. The reported damage
from the worm varies in magnitude IN differ
ent localities. It is represented by old
planters that two or three different kinds
are at work and the one that is doing most
damage is that known many years ago as the
army worm and which proved so disastrous.
Some fields are reported entirely stripped Of
foliage-others so reduced as to promise a
mere nominal yield. Their depredations
are becoming general in this district ofcoun-
try, and we fear the prOspecto Of few weeks
since, for a respectable cotton harvest, are
beyond realization.
