GOLD FOR Corro,Ns..--The Mobile Regis

ter, in it's weekly marketSreport, says 'a'
We learn that the Board Of Trade at
its monthly meeting, which is to be held
tonight, will consider the question Of ad-
visihg planters to instruct their commis-
sion merchants to notify buyers of cotton
that, ON and alter the first of September
next, their crops will be sold onlytor gold.
This season is fast drawing to u close, and
if any action is to be taken, it cannot be
done too soon. The revolution is radi-
cal one, and buyers willSneed all the time
possible to make their arrangements for
the next tiseason. Last year, t he receipts
at Mobile embraced 366, 1913 bales, OF
which at least 325, 1000 were sold here for
foreign and domestic markets, valued at
about s20OOO,00O gold, without adding
charges incident to it's sale and handling.
Under The present system nearly every
dollar of this vast amount is deposited in
Northern Banks, and handled by Foreign
and Northern Bankers, and whenever
business is active, and the market is full
Of cotton bills, sellers Of Exchange have
to submit to heavy discouhts!to place
themselves in funds; and on the other
hand, buyers of bills have to run'the risk
Of parties abroad or at the North being
solventowhen these bills mature. To- pro-
tect themselves, buyers of Exchange here
almost invariably demand bills OF lading,
and, as has been the case on several oc-
casions,. cotton goes out of the city and
on board of ships before it paid for, and
the planter and cotton factor take the
chances Of getting their, money. Should
disaster happen to the buyer Of the cot
ton, the planter and factor may never get
their money or cotton at all, and even #
they should, cannot possibly do so with
out law suits and heavy expenses Of un-
loading vessels. - -. -
1t is an indubitable fact that the world
must have our cotton, and that every bale
shipped abroad is paid for at last in gold.
Why should not the South receive this in
the first instance, as we'll as the second or
third buyer? To a limited extent, we be-
lieve that buyers for Spain (Barcelona)
send out coin to make their purchases
This should be done by all parties, and
then when the cotton is examined and re.
ported on, it can be paid for at once; and
disposed OF in any way that the owner
desire. - a,..--.> - e1.'
There is another and very serious
question which the planter should consid-
er. With gold In hand our people will be
safe even if the Financial ruin" which
Senator Sprague predicts should result
from the policy of the present administra-
ton. The South is just now recovering
from the effect of one exploded paper
currency, consequent upon the late war.
Will she repeat the folly and fill her Golfers
with egreenbacks, which, according to
Northern Senator'S own statements5are
dangerous promises to pay" when she
can so easily obtain commodity for her
great staple which cannot depreciate with
either war abroad, Financial ruin" or a
smashup of Government.

A ROMANCE IN CoLoRADo-A. letter
from Danyer says: ga very pretty. re-
nance, in which o woman is not mixed up;
has just happend in the mines. 1t runs
thus: A soldier who had served through
the war, soon after his discharge came
West to seek his fortune: He drlfted in
to the mines, and got hold of some claims
which were discovered to be very rich.
His captain, who had been very kind to
him in the service. lived far to the East;
and finding himself in want of a partner,
the young soldier determined to write to
the captain, who was poor, and ask him
to como out and share with him his good
fortune. He did so. The captain came;
and the:ex-privatc made over to him; as a
gift, one-third interest in all his mining
claims. The captain.was,a shrewd man;5
the new firm ,prospered; apd presentlyth the
generous young miner sent for an old
friend who had been. with him asa private
in the same company, and made over to
his comrade another third of his mines;
The company prospered amazingly, and
grew rich. ','' ,. !.
A few weeks ago the captain and the
third member Of the firm, longing to re-
join their families and feeling that they
were rich enough, proposed to sell out.
They did so for 100000 each, and thea
rich ex,private was therprincipaf buyer!i

the ex-partnors, whom he has made SO
rich After short stay in the East, the
rich young soldier will return West and
