Glorious News.

The elections that came off in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Iowa on the 9th inst, re-
suited most gloriously to the Conservative
cause. The Memphis Public Ledger of the
Och says:
The returns from the Northern elections,
are of the most cheering character, and will
be hailed with rejoicing by every enemy of
the infamous Radical party in the land. The
Democrats claim Pennsylvania by 10000
majority, and Forney's Press virtually gives
up the contest. The city of Philadelphia
the home of the notorious Judge Kelly-has
astonished the country by going largely
Democratic, giving upward of 5000 major
ity. This is glory enough for one day And
in gallant Ohio, where Vallandighamism is
the test of Democracy, the Conservatives
have, by an overwhelming majority, defeated
the negro voting constitutional amendment
and doubtless carried the State The Cincin-
natl Commercial (Radieal) admits that the
result is doubtful Gen. Cary, a Johnson Re

large gains; everywhere Radicalism is

COMMENCE IN InlR.-Last winter we didall |
that we could in public print to covince our
planters that cotton was no longer king,
and that the decapitated monarch would
prove bitter pin to those who persisted in
giving up all or nearly all of their lands to
its growth. Go back, if you viii, and nete
the cost Of your bacon, your meal and -four,
your sugar and coffee, your corn, hay, your
potatoes and beans, your canned fruit and
your butter, your lard and your clothes,
your plows and your hoes, Your trace chains
and your harness, your wagons and mules
and you will see that for all these and even
more you paid Northern manufacturers and
Northern producers terribly exhorbitant pri-
ces, simply because you were compelled to do
sc. Make upyour account, see what one bale,
five bales or ten bales Of cotton cost you
then see what the cotton is worth at present
prices, and if you do not bring yourself out
in debt the experience Of the next six months
will What we wish to say to our readers is
this: Let as support and encourage home
enterprise ofall kind; plant less cotton de-
vote more ground to the production Of clover
and grasses; take care of the stock Of every
description, SOW wheat and plant corn, and
thus dispense with as much Of the unproft-
able negro labor as you can Plant grape
vines and fruit trees en- sandy slopes and
give the valleys up to pastures. This is the
only remedy for hard times AS long as the
people Of the South mismanage improbable
negro labor, and continue to work hall
starved mules and milk raw boned cows fol
the purpose Of producing large cotton crop
just so long they will be subjects of the
soulless skinfints who live in "brown front
palaces and lord it over counters that creaI
beneath the weight of ill-gotten gold Their,
is no excuse under heaven why the State o
Tennessee should not be producing State
instead of a consuming one. Her mountain
are rich with minerals, she has league upor
league of coal fields, broad rivers perfec
network of railroads, fine producing soil
and the best of seasons. Notwithstanding al
this if we want tun of coal it must come
from Pittsburg; if we want a bar Of iron
must come from Cincinnati if we want
yard Of bagging it must come from Louis
vile if we want barrel of -four it mus
come from st. Louis; if we want pound
or two of bacon it must come from North
ern swillpen; if we want a sack of corn
must come from Eelinoy;" if we want
yard Of domestic it must come from clover
footed Massachusetts,; if we want a bushe
of oats, dozen eggs, a pound of butter,
brace of chickens, mule, horse, shirt
q hat pair of boots, toothpick, a diaper
pin, or broomstick, it must come from
the East" There is not word of this bu
what every man and woman in this count
knows to be true. Then let our people re
solve to remedy the evil as far as possible

MEMPHIS Oct 7, 1867
MR. EDIToR.--Your correspondent from
Huntsville, Ala, under date Of 28th ul5.,
Notwithstanding his sound Judgment il most
of matters, and all who know him respect,
widely ooershot the mark in his estimate of
the cotton crop; and such figures. over such
asignature, have weight with others-enough
with other influences to greatly prejudice
the interest Of that, these times, unfortunate
class, cotton planters. It is true the gene
raj rayages of the worm, occurring since his
writing, has no doubt caused him to reduce
his estimate yet with as favorable a season
as we could have possibly had, with the
plant two or three weeks later than usual,
there is no good foundation for 3 100000
bales. In fact the general belief is, and
was, that it could not exceed by any prob
able events at furthest over 80 per cent
more than last year, which was, as near as
can be estimated about 100000, the ex-
cess in receipts over that amount being old
cotton held over. It is hard to tell now how
much the worm has damaged the crop, but
from the reports from all quarters, the more
general impression is that one-f0urth viii
cover it. Taking into consideration the
backwardness of the crop and the fact,
owing to this, that many Of the boles would
not have matured no way, perhaps one-fourth
is too much At all events, we offer our
humble estimate of 100000 at the outside,
and await time to develope who is nearer
right Be that as it may. OF one thing we
have the assurance, that prices must rule
zoao. The sceptre Of King Cotton--ifitnow
be king--has departed from US. Other
countries, foreign to US, have been developed
that takes his robes of Office, and it now
stands stripped of all its pristine excellence
Let our planters however take courage; di
versify their labor, if they have labor at all
SOW grain and grasses, raise stock, in fact
make their own living at home, and as tht
political waters become STILL a more pros
porous future awaits them Why longer
waste their substance in pursuit of delu
sion--cotton Why spend what little they
have left to produce an article on which the,
are unconstitutionally taxed by the govern
ment 10 to y per cent. of its value?

Our HoPE.-It is plain to the mind of
every observing man that the people Of the
South, in order to vindicate and protect
themselves, must profit by the experience
of the past. Cotton, once the boast OF the
tiller of the soil, is now baneful growth,
Improbable and uncertain. 1t costs too
much money and labor to produce iti conse-
quently other pursuits viii engage the at
tention of farmers. What we need now. in
order to meet the necessities of the times is
a we'll organized agricultural association.
1t Is a fixed fact that such organizations al
WAYS tend 70 the advancement of the plant
er's and farmers interests. Diversified crops,
the raising Of horses, mules and stock of ey-
cry description, together with fowls and
fruits, and the encouragement Of home man
ufactures, wis bring about a great change
IN the South change that will free us as
a people from the gauiingyok Of dependence.
We hope some Of the friends of home indus
try and home enterprise will express their
views through the columns Of the Bulletin.

Destructive Fire.

A correspondent Of the Padueah Herald,
writing from Mayfeld, KY, under date of
the 7th inst, says:
Our quiet little town has been visited by
a terrible confagration, destroying some of
the best buildings in town. About l o'clock,
last night FIRE broke out IN the saloon of
Mr.. lobe Orr. The FIRE spread with great
rapidity, soon raizing to the ground the
wooden buildings owned by Mr.. E. II.
Green The Baptist Church on the east and
Caggilrs Hotel on the west took fire, and
notwithstanding the exertions made to save
them, were both entirely destroyed. Maj.
Caggill saved most of his furniture McNutt
& Gardner, Wholesale grocers, and Collins &
Perry's dry goods house, and R. Pollard, Sa-
loon, saved most of their stock r. W Bush
q Co, Druggists, Mr.. Wade, Jeweler, saw ed
but little. At one time it was thought nearly
all the business portion Of the town would
be lost. The loss is very serious one, as
learn there IS but little if any insurance.
Mayfeld, like Bolivar, had no fire engine
or organized force.
