CorroS IS KISG.-The Turf Field and
Farm, a we'll conducted and spirited sporting
journal, published In New York, says:
The Cotton Crop of '6s.-We are told tho
crop just gathered will command for the
country ms much foreign exchange as any
planted since Whitney invented the cotton gin
The fact rs, cotton is still the agricultural and
financial king of this continent. He was tam
porarily dethroned by his own subjects, bu,
his golden sccptre will, in the end, triumpb
over all obstacles, and assert his royal peroga-
tivcs on nll the marts of the world. Had tho
Confederate authorities, at tho commcnc mept
OF the late deplorable civil war, takon ali the
cotton thou at the South, for which tho plan
ters would have been willing to accent eight
cents per pouad in Confederate bonds, and
shipped IL to Europe, the issue of that war
might have been indefinitely postponed, if not
entirely changed. BE this as it may, the cot
ton fields OF the South are your true " EIdor-
ado" and now the objection Of slavery is re-
moved, il is Southwark tho tide of emigration
must now take its way.

children In each generation, and il APPEAR,
that the families comprising the first gene.

each family; the fifth generation abous
