THE FoREIGN-GRowN CoTToN.-There is no
ques on at present OF greater importance TO the peo
pie of the South than the attempts which are being
made in various parts of the globe to increase the
growth of cotton. Should peace be preserved, with
an average amount Of prosperity secure, and the
present growth of cotton not be suddenly increased
highly remuneraiive price will probably prevail for
some time, which will speedily axe the Southern
States wealthy and prosperous. Notwithstanding
the great efforts which have been and are being put
forth in various quarters of the globe assisted by
British capital, the upland crop of the Souts s i'm
m easurabiy in advance of the growth elsewhere In
the long staple qualities, the Fgyp ans raise largely
of kind equal to our common sea islands, but the
short staple of India bears no comparison to our up
land descriptions. Cotton-growers and merchants
in the tr ade watch with much interest from year TO
year the facts they arise in reference to this ques
tion, aud an examination of the article grown else
whers has for them on attraction which outsiders Will
not appreciate. James e. Taylor, ESQ, OF the hrm OF
Geo. ", Williams Co., of this city, has obtained
the largest number of specimens OF foreign cotton
that It has been our opportunity to inspect and
cmo.c them are Pernams, Paraiba, Macelo, Ceara,
Santos. Bahia and other., from Brazil; Peruvian,
Carthasenia. Lasuayra, Smyrna, Egyptian, African,
Dholerah, Omrawuttee, Madras, and others from
India There vas also fine specirnel OF long staple
grown on the Island of Antigua. The samples from
South America generally clean but of inferior
staple but the specimens of E-z India growth were
very poor both in strength Of fibre and preparation.
and could only be compared to the lowest grades OF
American cotton. The specimen that was marked
African" came nearest to the product of the South,
AMI might easily have been taken for American up
lands. These samples are worthy close inspection
by all who have an interest in the staple.

NOVEL Sur. One Charles N. Erich
bought a seat at the New Memphis
TheHter to hear the opera, which seat,
through mistake, no doubt, had been
sold to. some other party. Erich brings
suit against Mr.. j. r. Duff and Mr..
Smith, the agents at the Office, for having
obtained one dollar and fifty cents under
false pretenses and then again the said
Erich sues Mrs. Thompson and Mr..
Steinkuhl for the same mistake, laying
his damage at two hundred and fifty
dollars. That Mr.. Durf and Mr.. Smith
intended to obtain this money under
false and fraudulent pretenses is, in our
opinion, from q knowledge of the gentle
men, perfectly absurd, and no soubt to-
day can prove a better character than
Erich could himself. That Erich has been
damaged by Mrs. Thompson to the
amount of two hundred and fifty
dollars is false upon its face, aud
the charge shows the man to be
a miserable wretch. We understand
that the usher. on the night which con-
fusion in the matter Of seats took place,
offered to seat Erich on chair more
comfortable than the bench he purchased,
that he refused to be contented, and
left the theater. he must have known,
too, that it was the rule of the house that
no one could purchase a single seat for a
gentleman, as it is placarded in the office
where he bought his ticket. We would
suggest to the management that seat be
selected hereafter for Erich, that the
public may see the man who sues wo'
man for two hundred and fifty dollars
damage, when he is not damaged, and
endeavors to traduce the characters o.
two young gentlemen who are far his
superiors in every sense and meaning o
the word.
