conflicting, varying all the way from t.

crop Of last year produced about 1,900,-
ooo bales according to the reports of the
receipts at the shipping ports, and the
most careful judges of the growing crop
generally estimates it at about $500. 900
bales.

An Item which Every One should Read
We have probably all of US met with in
stances, in which word needlessly spoken
against the reputation Of female has been
magnifed by malicious minds until the
cloud has been dark enough to overshadow
her whole existence. To those who are ac-
customed, not necessarily from bad motives,
but from thougthlessness-tos peak lightly
Of ladies, we recommend these hints. as
worthy Of consideration Never use lady's
name in an improper place, at an improp-
er time, or In mixed company Never
make assertions about her that you think
untrue, or illusions that you feel she her.
self would blush to hear. When you meet
with men who do not scruple to use wo-
mans name in rectless and unprincipled-
manner, shun them, for the worst mem
bers of a community lost to every
sense of honor, every feeling of humanity
Many good woman's character has been
forever ruined and heart broken by lie
manufactured by some william, and repeat
ed where it should not have been, and in
the presence Of those whose little judge
ment could not deter them from circulating
and Dragging of the report
A SANDER is propogated, and the small
est thing derogatory to woman's character
will fly on the wings Of the wind, and mag
nifty as it circulates, until its monstrous
weight brushes the poor unconscious vic
tim. Respect the name Of women, for your
mother and sisters are women, and as you
would have their fame untranished, and
their lives unembittered by the slanderer's
biting tongue heed the i'll your own words
may bring upon the mother the sisters, or
the wife Of some fellow creature.

MENAGER1E ANIMALS KILLED. The
Richmond Dispatch says We regret to
hear that the large collection of rare and
costly animals attached to Robinson great
menagerie has been recently deprived Of
three or four of its most notable members
A telegram was received here on Friday
stating that his two tapirs and the beauti-
full zebra had been poisoned. On Thurs
day evening the animals were hearty, ac-
tive and sprightly, and on Friday morning
they were found dead. It was quite evil
dent that the animals had been poisoned
by some malicious person and that the
deadly agent used was that subtle of all
poisons known as strychnine.
The tapirs are said to have been the on
~ two of their species on this continent.
They were procured only after great per-
severance, and cost MIR. Robinson the
heavy sum of $15, 600 The zebra was
very valuable also, but its loss can be more
easily repaired. The loss Of the tapirs is
regarded as almost irreparable.
We understand that it is the intention
of Mr.. Robinson to offer reward of 3d.
600 for the apprehension and conviction OF
the villain or villains by whom this great
outrage has been perpetrated.

A Strange Case.

The charming wife of wealthy banker,
doing business in Wall street, disappeared
suddenly few months since, while visit
ing Europe for her health. Her family
were almost distracted her sisters who re-
side in New York put on mourning, and
bewailed the sad loss In vain were re-
wards offered for any information concern
ing the lost. Nothing more than this
could the afflicted relatives learn-that Mrs.
| Lavanburg had left home one morning to
make some calls, and had never returned!
A few facts concerning the domestic dis
comforts endured by Mrs L. may not
prove uninteresting. She married some
four years since one of three brothers, all
bankers. The lady, who was lovely, bril-
liant, and accomplished, sold herself for
the income settled upon her, and, in her
anxiety to have an establishment Of her
own, either passed over or refused to look
upon the fearful spectre az the banquet
Mrs. L. had been beloved by young man
Of this city, her inferior in naught, save
good looks. His position socially was
above hers, but,as she told him on her
marriage eve, "She must always love, but
could not marry him."
In the meantime incompatibility of tenn
per arose, and finally the picayunish tenn
per of her master was q source of bitterness
and reproach to the miserable woman who
had married him. In the spring of 1866
the doctor recommended Europe, and thith-
er husband and wife and baby went. Mr.
L. returned to New York in a few weeks,
and left his family ina comfortable house
in London. La the meantime the lady
went out one morning, and never returned.
What can be her fate Death, murder,
answers the mourning friends, and issue
personals, aud put in advertisements, and
finally dress in sombre garments, as they
bewail one who returns e them no more.
BY the merest accident the facts Of the
case have been discovered, and in this
wise:
Three ladies were travelling alone, in
one of those small first-class compartments
always found abroad. They were Oh the
way to Dover. One Of the ladies wore
very thick green vail, which she kept per-
sistently lowered, even when slipping the
glass Of water brought her by the guard
But the lady became i'll, and the wee bum
die in her arms gave evidence Of life by
uttering feeble wall, and both the other
ladies came forward to give help and sym
pathy Now one of those ladies was a
New Yorker, and, in happier days, had
met this same Mrs. L. at soiree and opera,
times immemorial. The lady recovered,
the child slept, and the party reached their
destination, when a tall, handsome Ameri-
can, with heavy moustache and curling
black hair, stepped forward, and caught
both woman and child in his arms They
entered cab, and drove off, The family
are not yet out of mourning.

low the example of Virginia, and set its
house in order for the new regime.
Slavery, secession, States-rights, first
familyism, cotton, Southern superiori-
ty, and everything of the sort have
gone to the wall, and freedom,
equal Individual rights, and perfect
protection before the law, have taken
their place. It is of no use to complain,
murmur or threaten, for this is the pro-
gramme marked out. The Union peO-
pie of the country are bent on it. The

construction. The situation will be

SUSPENSION OF THE AMER1cAN-RUs-
SIAN TELEaRAPH.-The Rochester Er-
press announces, with reference to the
affairs of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, which, by recent consolida-
tons, has become the owner OF most
of the telegraph lines in the country,
that, at meeting of the directors, held
during last week, it was decided, in
view of the successful working of the
Atlantic cable, that it is not advisable
to exPend any more money on the Rus
sian extension at present. The distance
across the Russian territory yet to be
completed is about three thousand
miles, and it is possible that the Rus
sian government may feel sufficient
pride and interest in completing its con-
nection with the western world to I'm
ish It. In any event, the suspension of
work on the line will not involve an
entire loss, as there is property worth
about million dollars now on hand,
which will sell for as much as it cost.

Governor PetrnoInt.

At last the Richmond papers are per-
ceiying that Governor Peirpoint is not
only a statesman and an honest and
true man, but that he is also the best
and most influential friend that yirginl
ia has within her borders. And where
as u little while ago they had nothing
but abuse and belittlement for him,
stigmatising him often as backwoods
lawyer from West Virginia, and as an
accidental, illegitimate and so-called
Governor, they are now, in their day
of trial, when the military bill, like a
whirlwind has come upon them, glad
to make use OF his wisdom, prudence,
Influence and general excellence as
man and an officer. and to call atten-
ton to the programme which he long
ago marked out as the correct one for
them to follow. The Richmond Dis
patch, for instance, of Saturday last,
has the following article on the situa-
ton:
The General Assembly on yesterday
adopted a resolution requesting Cow
ernor PeirPoint to convene the Legisla-
| ture in extra session on Monday next,
US well to consider matters of State
concern pending in the Legislature and
unfinished, as others that are impend-
ing over us but which are under the
control and will of the ruling power at
| Washington We have not a doubt
that Governor Peirpoint will acquiesce
in the wishes of the Legislature. He
has always shown himself not only
| practical and judicious, but earnestly
desIrous to promote the order, security,
aud welfare of the State. Virginia has
not often differed with him; but even
when thus differing he has acted con-
| sistenty,S and with the best intentions
towards her. After the fall of the Con-
tederacy he came to Richmond, and i'm
mediately went to work with his little
Legislature TO relieve us of dilemma in
which we were Placedi and but for his
craftsmanship, honesty, and humanity,
/ Virginia would have become another
Tennessee-a very hell upon earth.
Those persons calling themselves 10y
In woe are now his bitterest enemies,
making him one Of the best abused
men OF the day. ......
| We have differed with Governor
Peirpoint, but we always appreciated
his motives, and treated him fairly. We
have every trust in him in this day of
peril. We say it now, with an empha-
sis upon every word, that Virginia
owes to Governor Peirpoint a debt of
gratitude that she never can pay.
Governor Peirpoint, if he were the
kind of man to do it, might take up
the language of Shylock to Antonio,
and utter some very bitter and biting
sarcasms and reproaches in the face OF
the Richmond rebels. But he is not
that style of a man. His only ambi-
I'tion, as we have been telling the rebel
editors all along, has been to put his
old decrepid mother State on her feet
once more, and then leave her to who
ever had an ambition to take charge
of her destiny. He would be much
more congenially situated herein West
Virginia, and If he ever comes back,
West Virginia will, we mistake not,
show that she has not forgotten him.
