DEATH OF GENERAL WADDY THOMPSON
The telegraph this morning announces the
death Of General Waddy Thompson, in Talla-
hassee, yesterday, at the advanced age Of
seventy. Gen. Thompson was born at Pickens
Courthouse, in this State, September 8, 179S,
graduated at the South Carolina College in
1914, and was admitted to the bar in 1919. He
was solicitor Of the Western Circuit for several
years, afterwards member Of the Legislature,
and later still member Of Congress from this
State. He was in Congress from 1895 to 1871,
and served in 1s4O as chairman OF the Commit
tee on Military Affairs. In 1912 he was ap-
pointed Minister Plenipotentiary to Mexico,
and he aftsr yards published very inter-
esting book about that country and his mis-
sion. His title of General was obtained in the
militia service, and he had passe from the
stage of active life before the war which made
such titles more plentiful. His death will be
regretted as the breaking Of another link in
he chain which binds the palmy days of
Carolina, when Calhoun was giant in the
land.

TIE EMPRESS AND THE QUEEN.-It is quite
a doubtful matter whether any sympathy is re-
quired in the case of Isabella, Queen of Spain,
for it seems that after her ablication she held
a pleasant, friendly interview with the French
Empress, %ad-she and Eugene, being genuine
daughters of Eve, fell at once into discussion
upon the fashions and fabrics OF the day. we
have no idea of perverting history, but it is
whispered in aristocratic circles that the
name of Louis Cohen s. Co. was mentioned as
having one of the most attractive and varied
stocks of dry goods in that favor'e city ofthe
Queens, Charleston. 1t is asserted that when
she comes to Cuba, which she has determined
shall be her future home, she will order every
thing she wears from Cohen's. However this
may be, We know that the firm do not encour-
age the idea, feeling quite satisfied if they can
secure the patronage of the ladies of the City
by the Sea. They have put their prices down
marvellously, and invite an inspection OF their
assortment 80.

OUR NORFOLK LETTER.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.

NORFOLK, January S, 1868.
The new schedule Of the Virginia and
Tennessee airline went into effect Mon
day morning. BY this arrangement cars
are run through from Norfolk to Memphis
without breaking bulk. The schedule was
adopted at late convention Of railroad
presidents which lately assembled in
Lynchburg, representing the various roads
forming the airline. For the past two or
three days cars loaded with cotton have
arrived direct from Memphis, Nashville,
and Knoxville, and have returned laden
with merchandise for these points. This
through line, without change of cars for $50
miles (Which is the distance from Norfolk
to Memphis), is master piece Of railroad
strategy, the effect of consolidation, brought
about by General Malone. In order to
facilitate the loading and shipment of
freight, the company have erected large
and spacious warehouse on the wharf of
the New York steamers, and the arrange
ments are so complete for this purpose that
everything moves like clocE-work.

ia no exception to say that the North
prospered greatly during the war, and
everybody was made rich. The causes
then operating were temporary and Pc
culiar; the delusion has been in supposipg
the same state Of prosperity could be
maintained in time of peace.
But perhaps the greatest of all the delu-
sions which have possessed the minds of
the northern people was the belief that as
soon as the negroes were freed they would
betake themselves to work with spirit
and resolution which they had not exhi-
bited in the days of slavery; and that the
products of the South would be vastly in
creased by voluntary labor. The mistake
was natural with those who believe in the
equality of the races but those who are
acquainted with the negro know that ne IS
incompetent to rise above avery low grade
of civilization, and utterly disqualified for
supporting selfgoverDment in creditable
manner. The history of the South since
the war proves all this, if, indeed, any
proof were needed. Under his influence
we have been rapidly going on from bad to
worse, until, at the present time, wide
spread restitution prevails throughout a
region among the most fertile in the world.
With the prospect, then, of the estab-
lishrnent of ten African republics in the
South, it is easy to judge what will be the
fate of the country.
AS it is now certain that the culture OF
cotton cannot be continued at present
prices, it behooves us-supposing we shall
survive the crisis-to bethink ourselves OF
something to supply its place. a very
large portion of our country is adapted to
stock raising and wool-growiDg perhaps
there is no better for both purposes in the
United States. The finest wheat is grown
all through the South, and it is the home
of Indian corn. Our region also embraces
large district, producing tobacco of the
finest quality, and every kind of fruit is
brought to perfection in our climate.
Even without cotton it is destined to be a
land of plenty when its capacities are
fully developed-that is to say, when its
surface is dotted over with farms, in stead
of being laid out in unwieldy plantations

OUR PETERSBURG LETTER.
co--a.s. nee Of the Richmond Dispatch.
e.eu, ,.."t, with Remarks.

PETERSBURG, January - 1870.
II seems to be the opinion a,.'long Inc
merchants that the opening of tho ne"
wear has, by an increase of trade, brough
some relief with it. Bridging over the
holidays was attended with some difficulty,
and in order to do it there was use for all
the available money in circulation. That
object being effected, and produce begin
ming to come in freely again, the money
market is of course easier.
Last week the receipts Of cotton were
smaller than at any time since the Degin-
ming Of the season; but the arrivals have
since increased, and will doubtless soon be
equal to what they were IN December.
The market, however, is very fuctuatlng.
The highest price today is IA &C., which
is about one cent less than it was few
days ago.
The receipts Of tobacco still consist
mostly of loose parcels. Until better
grades for manufacturing purposes come
forward the factories will remain closed,
but it is believed they will all resume
work early in February. Until that time
no intelligent quotations can be given. 1t
is safe to say, however, that prices for all
desirable grades will be high.
Wheat has almost ceased TO be brought
in, and it is thought very little remains be-
hind. Fair to choice white is worth $40
to $3.50, and red 81 to s2.25.
Corn may be quoted at sl.lO to Sl.l5,
with light stock.
In flour there is no change.
We have no local uows Of any special
interest. Perfect quiet prevails in the
city, and no breaches Of good order have
occurred with the exception of the nightly
thefs, which are almost innumerable.

General Sewall, Of the Freedmen's
Bureau, reports to General Howard from
Holly Springs, Miss, the result of his in
vestigations during an inspection tour
through the States Of Mississippi, Georgia,
and South Carolina, from which it appears
there are decided differences Of opinion
between Generals Ord apd Sewall on the
question Of destitution and the apprehen-
sons of trouble among the freedmen or
from them. Sewall, however, thinks that
before the winter is over there will be in
some parts of the South very great desti-
tuition, which will call for Government
aid.
The charter Of this city being about to
expire, the leading business men and tax
payers are endeavoring TO adopt some
plan of government which will supersede
the present corporation, and place the
management Of the District in the hands
of commissioners. Whether Congress will
do this or not remains to be seen, but it is
probable that an effort will be made by
the Radicals to destroy the object of the
citizens in this respect for purposes Of
their own. TIMoN.

Remarks on Cotton Culture and the
Future of lhe South.


Future of The South.
PETERSBURG, January s, 1868.
The last number of De Botp'S Revieeo con-
tains well-considered article on cotton,
embracing the expenses and profits OF cui-
tivation. The conclusion at which the
writer arrives is that at the rates cotton
was selling at the time ne was writing
saw l6 to l9c. for middling-with the tax
of two and half cents per pound, and the
uncertainty Of labor-the crop ceases to
be profitable. What, then, must be the
loss to the planting interest of the South
at the greatly diminished price of Is to
15c.. at which the bulk of the crop of 1867
is expected to be sold /? The tax alone on
1000 bales, Of 400 pounds each,
amounts to $20,0O0,O00; and this sum,
levied on the industry Of an already i'm
poyerished country, is burden so oppres-
sive as to crush out the spirit of the people.
The inevitable effect must be to break up the
culture of cotton in the South, and in the
end-for all that your correspondent can
see-to bankrupt the whole country. The
national prosperity, beyond all doubt, has
been built on cotton as the basis. New
England has been made what it is by its
means, and nearly the whole importations
of the United States have been paid for
through its agency and that of other south
ern products. This is evident enough from
the fact that as cotton has been tending
downward, SO at the same rate, and in the
same ratio, have the financial embarrass-
ments of the North been increasing, until
now hundreds Of factories have suspended
and tens Of thousands Of operatives are
thrown out of employment. Nor has it yet
come to the worst. The great outcry
against the heavy taxation will soon make
itself heard in the halls of Congress !;
and it cannot be many years-it may
be only one or two-before the
people of the northern States will
have the chalice commended to their own
lips which, by their Ubiquitous legislation,
they have compelled the South to drink
of, even to the dregs. In former years the
South was the best market for the North
for all their manuiactures-for their cotton
Ind woollen goods, shoes, and thousands of
actions; but now that We have nothing to
