THE exports for the week ending this
evening reach total of 294 bales, of which
2S4 were to Great Britain and 10 bales to
the continent, while the stocks at all the
ports as made up this evening are now

From the foregoing statement it will
be seen that, compared with the cores

an increase in the exports this week of
129 bales, while the stocks tonight are

eve have received no unfaVorable re-
ports this week with regard to the growing
crop, except from the flooded district of
Texas, which we referred to last week.
The damage there will, of course, be small,
though very severe and complete so far as
the flood extends; but what it will be we
are not able at present TO state. With
this exception everything appears
TO be progressing favorably. We
see it stated in telegram on Wed
nesday to the daily press that several bales
of new cotton had been on that day re-
ceiVed at SaVaE nah and Central Georgia.
We think there must be some error in this;
for although the plant in those States, and
also in North and South Carolina, is very
well advanced and extremely promising,
it could hardly be true that new cotton
should be received as early as June 20,

Of stealing some fine wearing apparel from

In order to correct any Misrepresentation
that may exist in the public mind with
reference TO the position Of VIM. G.. Brien,
Esq, candidate for the Senate, as to the
canvass for Governor, we would state that
he is heartily and cordially supporting
Gov. Senter. Since the commencement of
the struggle between Senter and Stokes,
Mr.. Brien has repeatedly both in private
and public avowed himself out and out for
Senter, and did 50 in the strongest posi-
bic terms in his South Nashville speech
last Monday night. He would not know
how TO 60 about voting for Stokes even if
he felt inclined that way. 1t would be with
him an impossible thing while there was
any better man for him to vote for, and
very difficult even in the absence of any
better candidate.

NASHVILLE, July /, 1S69.-To the peo-

stantial portion of the constituency, have
brought me forward az candidate for

profitably employ the lime. But, believ-
ing that | understand the immediate bust
ness necessary for the promotion of the
interest of the people Of the district and that
some precious legislative experience has
qualified me for the position, | offer myself.
| am in favor of the most prompt action
that can be had by the Governor, the
Legislature, or the people in their sover-
eign capacity under the Bill Of Rights, or
all COMBINED, to secure the assembling of
a convention at the earliest practicable
moment, to amend the constitution and
laws, and remove all existing disabilities
in regard to the elective franchise. The
most feasible plan conformable 10 law, is
the beat, and the one | will favor by vote
and voice. The privileges now enjoyed
by any portion of the community, 1 do
not propose 10 disturb.
The business interests Of this constitu-
ency in several important features demand
legislation. The mercantile community,
in my judgment, needs a representative
who comprehends their wants and sympa-
thises with their condition under present
laws. The general economic interests of
the people in every pursuit, while requir-
ing broader and more liberal legislation,
should be under the discipline of stricter
statutes, and such measures shall receive
my support.

points necessary to allude to, but in be.
