TIE NEW CorroN CRoP.-A very fine quality
of cotton of the new crop this year has just been
brought TO the New York market from Carroll
parisR. Louisiana. II was sold immediately ct
forty.six cents per pound IL Is called the Peeler
cotton. and has Q long, fine staple, app oachng
that of the famous Sea Island cotton. 1t Is DIFF.
ferent product, however, and, ss 1t was grown In
the Interior and in the great cotton region OF the
Nississippi Valley, we suppose II can be raised
where any of the ordinary staples are. The Sea
Islasd- cotton can only he grown within short
distance from the sea and In particular locality
the supply, consequently, 10 limited. II the Peeier
cotton should be generally cultivated, II WI make
a great change in the market value OF this great
American product, and might revolutionize the
manufactures of the world. This particular kind
of cotton was discovered three or four years ago
in An Accidental manner. Mr.. Peel, Q planter in
the Mississippi Valley, found among his ordinary
standing crop plant bearing much tner and
longer staple than the rest. He carefully saved
the seed, which he planted the next year, the
wear after and until he had seed enough OF the
new variety to sell to his neighbors. Thus 1t
spread and acquired the name of Peeler cotton.
No doubt it will be cultivated hereafter more ex.
tensively, as II has realized such high price IN
the market. We may expect very soon large
supply of this years cotton from all parts OF the
South. This will contribute vastly to relieve the
Southern people, to improve their condition. and
to stimulate trade with the North. We may say
now thst as far as the material interests and pros
poets Of the South 20 the tide has turned in their
favor. With peace and continuance OF SUCH In
dustry as the mass Of Southerners have shown
the last year. they will sooneibecome rich

And hold her hand IN my hand,
And kias her lips In her innocent sleep-
