his bosom. Nothing harsh angry was observed
in the features OF the poor fellows. Within space
Of forty feet they had all yielded up their lives evil

to die like men.
OTHER SCENES.
Outside the entrance to this gangway two men
were found lying PROSTATE. as though in despera-
ton they had burst out OF the enclosure where the
others lay, resolved on one final effort to get iree
but meeting full IN the teeth the fatal that
now coursed through oil the galleries they fell sud

resting on his hands as though mediatng his awful
situation, and while thus occupied was silently
leased from existence great many were caught
In the retreat to the rear Of the cave, and were
found in all kinds OF attitudes through the galleries
and chambers.
THE GRIEF OF THE WOMEN.
Not all the women who came to see the dead bodies
taken out had relatives IN the pit. Many were moved
to travel long distances to see this sckening spec
tacle from motives Of mere morbid curiosity. The
bereased and sorrowing widows were easy to tell.
None OF that wild, demonstratve grief that many
or the reports speak Of could be seen any day
since the catastrophe happened. There was no
loud long wall and all the sorrow that gave itself
vocal utterance was confined to few.
Wet eyes and looks OF In tense desolation

Horrible AFFAIR near Byhal1a. Miss,

Tho Memphis Avalanche has received

occurrence, near R.~halia. Tom Still, a

Divorces in Chicago.

The family dismemberment market has
been very brisk in Chicago during the past
year, when 294 wives have been divorced
from as many husbands, and 176 husbands
have been released from the terrors of the
broomstick. The women thus lead the
men by majority of 1O8. The softer sex
are also ahead in several naughty respects.
In regard to cruelty and drunkenness the
husbands are, of course, greatly in the
majority, though it appears, nevertheless,
that the gentler sex has not wholly aban.
doned fsticuffs, and that an unwarranta-
BILE degree of inebriety has been INDUCED
in by some few members of that highly
esteemed organization.

rCb. New Order of Thfngs-the
Future Before the South.
The Memphis Appeal, in a recent reVie"
If the condition of the planters OF Tie
sontb. concludes that they are better OH
tban ever before, and that their prospects
could not well be improved.
TIL LARGEST cotton crop ever raised was
:, Is59,6O. which was about 5000, 900
haIes. realizing, at $50 q bale, S2oO,O OO,OOO.
This year the crop will be about 1000, 600
bales: it is worth 500 bale, and IN the
aggregate So, OOO,0 900, or only one-tifth less
than the crop of 1S59'6O. Now, to the
profits of this year must be added some
important items. Their expenditures DO
not include interest on the money when
the laborer, as slave, was worth; nor tax
ns on the same; nor food for the idler, the
sick, the young, or the aged. More imam
this, their money has not been sent north
for the purchase of provisions, for what
ever food their people require has oeen
produced from their own soil IN the great
est abundance Hence 1t is asserted that
the present cotton crop Will brlng In as
much money as ever was received by the
south from this source in her palmlest days
though it is admitted that there are some
temporary drawbacks growing out of the
slate unpleasantness." Another condition
is equally favorable : Formerly the com
mission merchant in a measure held a
mortgage on all the planters possessions,
for he made advances on a crop before 1t
wa; grown, and this continued from year
to year, without prospect of deliverance.
But now through the instrumentality of
the bankrupt law, modern jubilee has
dawned. making one man as good as an
other. Thus, the south has new and a
fair start; and with certainty of furnishing
to the markets of the world $500, OOO, OOO
worth of cotton year after year, portion
of which will be retained among them
selves by reason of their newly established
thrift and the enlargement of the list of
farm products, they are evidently enter
ing upon course of unexampled
prosperity. This is said of the staple crop
of cotton alone but there will be large re-
ceipts from sugar, rice, and tobacco, and
it is declared that of themselves they would
be able, in fifteen years, to pay off the
national debt" But if they are wise enough
to take care of themselves, this $500, OOO,-
900 coming in every year will be inVesti-
gated in railroads and other improvements,
which will induce immigrants, who will
add to their population and wealth, and in
time give them that which the North
now possesses-political power. In view
Of these brilliant prospects, the North is
destined to be undeceived, and instead of
carpet-baggers she will send men of diff
ferent class-men who will seek by indus
try to build up homes in the Sunny South !;
and, finally, the North and the whole world
will unite in confessing that, after all "Cot-
ton is King"
