A "Oornn Panic Ont West.

Tho is excitement and "downward
tendency" Ia the grain market ut Chi
cago. The Monday evening papers Of
that oity furnish the following particu-
lars. The Chicago Journal says:
"Grain comes in more rapidly than
wanted for shipment, under our, re-
cent pecuniary arrangements, and
there have beon but few here who
could command money enough to buy
to hold. Our weakness has ro-acted
on New York, and sent that market
down. while Liverpool has caught tho
same Infection. Wall street gamb-
ling was tho primary cause, but the
proximate cause arose in Chicago.
There was good doal of short trad.
ing to-day, many being anxious to sell,
and others equally willing to buy, but
with dooided preference for tho
buyers option, which made buyor the
month worth grcal deal moro than
sellcr do"
With reference to the condition Of
the banks, under this unfavorable con-
dition of things, tho writer says
"The strain on the banks of this
oity, produced by tho large amount of
grain which has accumulated hore, has
been heavy. The panic in Now York
deprived tho grain and -four dealers
Of New York city and State of the
facilities for doing business, because
they GOULD not get accommodation to
pay sight bills drawn on them to pa y
for grain shipped from horo. There
has boon any quantity of orders here
to buy grain, to be paid for by bills
drawn at thirty days and it is useless
for the banks of this city, without an
increase of capital, to attempt to fur
nish funds for the whole of tho trans
actions in grain from the hands of the
producer to the consumer in tho East.

BnITIsn OpINloN or THE WAR IN
CUBA.--Whilc Spain is vainly pro-
longing hopeless struggle in Cuba
and foolishly prating of war with the
United States the blood of many of
her bravest citizens is flowing in the
strcots Of an important provincial
city. At Tarragona, few days ago,
tho Governors secretary, who with
rash tomority presented himself at a
republican meeting, was murdered by
an excited mob. Now telegram
announces that in the same town the
volunteers have erected barricades,
and engaged in hand Ito hand fight,
which lasted the whole of Saturday
night. The volunteers, it is said, had
manifested republican tendencies, and
wero therefore ordered to disarm.
AS might have been expected, they
refused compliance with this order,
and the result has boon sanguinary
struggle, which resulted in their do
feat. Many lives havo been lost and
tho prisoners confined on board the
ships in tho harbor. The plague
stricken colony of Fernando 20 will
probably be their destination. In the
meanwhile tho prospect appears
gloomy enough without the additional
horror of Cuban insurrection or
foreign war. E''N .AT

When tho smallest Of my bubbles

Yet my little friends grew merry,

Flohted upward, and the baby
Clapped it's chubby hands for Joy.
And the girl her arms outstretohing,
As II begging them to stay
Said, elm sorry, very sorry,
They so quickly fade awayl"
But her brother looked right manly,
As ho shouted with delight,
"It Is easy, very easy.
To blow others jnst ss bright !"
And he blew with such good fortune,
That, before his task was done,
You might count score Of bubbles
Floating gaily In tho sun;
Then her cyus with pleasure sparklcd,
AS the crystal phnntoms played.
And she quito forgot her sorrow
That they enoh so quickly fad,.
And she paused whore was r,sting

THE YIELD or COTTON.

The Barnwell Journal says: "We
hear many complaints in regard to tho
yield of cotton this season. It takes
nearly seventeen hundred pounds of
seed cotton to make bale weighing
five hundreds pounds. It is thought
by some that this has been produced
by the protraoted drought but we
have yet heard no satisfactory expla-
nation Of the matter. The fault evil
dently does not lie in the gins, as some
of the best gins in the country have
given similar results"

prevailed at the time, and women
were scon loaping from the windows

This society met on Monday, Octo-
Der d..
The question whether cotton plant
ors would sow wheat enough, at least
for their own use, was freely discussed
and decided in the affirmative, by a
vote of seventeen to three.
The following resolution was adopt
ed in reference to oats: That it is tho
interest of planters to extend tho oat
crop, and in some degree, to make it
a substitute for oorn-leaving it for
future experiments to determine wheth-
CIR it may not be used US an entire
substitute in the feeding of horsco and
mules.
