The July report OF Hon. Horace Capxon,
Commissioner Of Agriculture, represents that
the cotton acreage is sixteen per cent. greater
than last year, ana amounts TO 8 OOO, 600
acres. Should tho yield per acre be the same
as last year, the total production would amount
to nearly 5000 900 bales. Nothing short OF
unusual disasters will reduce tho yield below
that otlastsyear or Q 500 900 bAies. Along the

MARSAAT. NEY---A STRANGE STORY OF
HIS EARLY CAREER

Mr.. c. II. Browning contributes tc
! the Round Table a curious narrative
I concerning the early career of this ia.
nous French soldier, which differs
materially from the current biogra-
phies. According to Mr.. Browning's
story, Marshal Ney's proper name was
Michael Ney. He was a captain in
General Wayne't army in the war with
the Indians. His career was marked
by the most daring deeds of vaIor, and
he was called among the soldiers by
the last title Napoleon ever gave him
/ the "Bravest of the Brave CAPTAIN
Michael Rodolph was young and fiery,
and on one occasion feeling himself in
suited by Gen. Wayne, he challenged
him. General Wayne reported his
subordinate conduct to the Govern
ment, and General Washington struck
| his name from the army list. Rodolph
then turned his attention to farming
| on Elk creek, near Elkton. Md. and
| possessing himself Of a small vessel, he
traded in tobacco to the West Indies.
Such restless nature could not be sat
istied with 50 prOsaic pursuit.-Hav-
ing unexpectedly put back from one of
his trips, he found his wife engaged in
suspicious affair with another man.
Without saying a word to any one, he
left her end her children in peaceful
possession Of his rival, returned to his
vessel, made sail, and never returned.
VI. Pinckney, then our Minister in
France recognized him shortly after
wards, under his new name, in re-
view in the Champ de Mars and Mr..
Browning says "his friends in Mary
land carry out the theory of the iden-
tity of the two men, by supposing that
