THR ERA OF Coop FEELING NEW Enc
LAND AND THE SoUrH.-A correspondent OF
the Richmond Enquirer and Examiner,
writing from Boston, says:
Now that Grant is elected, all the fears
the North may have entertained about
the South vanish, and a purpose will de.
velop itself wholly friendly and of an en-
%couragipg nature. The North now mean
business South, by the infusion of CAPT
tai and emigration. The West must d.
vide its claims to surplus population of
the Atlantic cities with the South.
The signs of the times are favorable to
the South. Now that the struggle for
President is over, let by-gones be by.
cones. W. believe that is a prominent
here in New England We shall
be very much disappointed If the Grant
administration acts otherwise than gene
towards the South We believe
will be q strong feature in it, and
are quite sure New England will back up
feeling with actions corresponding
thereto.

that the cost Of simply copying and pre-
pairing documents to be laid before the

The GREAT CorroN INTEREST The Vicks.
burg Times concludes the last of q series
of articles on the great cotton interest as
follows
The Times has demonstrated the great
and controlling value Of that portion OF
the cotton crop of 1868 which yet re-
mains uhsold. We. estimate that one
fifth OF the crop Of this year has been
sold for a sum equal to fifty millions of
dollars, and that the remaining four fftbs
may be made to yield the producers the
magnificent sum Of two hundred millions
dollars. To insure this, we have I'D
v'sed, and we now repeat that advice,
planters shall cell no more than the
necessity and the str. ctest good
faith requires. By keeping the market
bare of stock, and not forcing sales, thus
depressing prices. at the suggestion and
in the interest Of spectators, the vslu.
'f our great staple may. and will be kept
np to the remunerativs price of Que hun
tred dollars per bale. We are glad to
see that OUT soggtstious have met with
universal favor with producing classes,
and those only who are compelled to sell
will force the product Of their labor upon
The market, and thus injure themselves AZ
