Ashley's Testimony Before the In.
parchment Committee.

The New York Hcrald's Washington
special gives the testimony Of Hon. Mr.
Ashley before the Impeachment Com
mittce, concerning the Conover troubles,
and the alleged completely Of the presi.
dent in the assassination. Mr.. Ashley
unlcrgoes a close examination, and con.
fesscs to having written most ef the let.
ters imputed to him in publication Of
the Assistant Attorney General some
time ago. He states he hus not living
witness to prove Nr. JohnsOn'S compile
ity in the assassination Of Lincoln, but
from certain theory which he reiigiously
believes, he has no doubt Of it himself
That theory is nothing more nor less
than that it has been customary thing
to a.ssssinate Presidents-Harrsson and
Taylor both, accordin, to Ashley's iden
having been poisoned through the machi
nations Of smbitious Vice Presidents
Mr.. Buchanan, he thinks, was also poi
soncd, but got over it.

Tho Cotton Growers DISCOURAGED.

A Memphis dispatch Of the ai,h ult.,
gives rather gloomy account Of the cot,
ton culture South, and says a merchant
just from below reports affairs 10 IN cx-
trcmely distressing condition in all the
river counties from vicksburg up. The
cotton crop is nearly all gathered and
baled. Farmers we're hurryiug through
to pay of aod discharge their hands, be.
ing unable to longer furnish them food.
Tho losses by those engaged in cotton
culture are enormous. Not ono in twenty
Of the farmers can plant next year, or
pay for provisions already consumed.
Tho county Of Washington, Miss, in
1860, raised $4,000 bales last year 22,.
900; this season $4,000. The negroes
are already wandering over the country
in large numbsrs, out of work and food.
Several persons have been waylayed and
robbed by thcm near Euvillc, Miss.
Gloomy despair pervades the mind Of
the entire farming population. Cotton
culture will be almost abandoned nezt
year.
