THE COTTON MARXEr.

TIE COTTON MARKET.
The accounts from the po.ton.mauufac.
turing districts Of England arc not very
encouraging 10 the growth Of cotton In
this country. The mills Of Lhucashirs arc
hbout closing, not because Of my lack Of
cotton, but because Of the want Of a mar.
ket for tho Bale Of those goods. Thcre is
no profit in making these goods unless they
can bo sold; and to ptop' tho manufacture
Ut goods Is TO roduoo tho value Of cotton "a
product. This is legitimate reaction Of
our tariff. Wo raise the cotton for salc.
and Se exclude the persons who buy that
cotton from IN exchange Of their rroluo.
hons in our tnarlot. We admit then, only
AZ purchasers Thoir exchange products
being excluded, they arc forced 10 suspend
the purchase Of our cotton.

The Executive Committee of the Demo-

The Executive Committee of the Demo-
cratic party of Georgia met in Atlanta on
Wednesday, under call of the Chairman.
1t was the unanimous opinion of tho men,
bers preaent that il would be inexpedient
TO recomend an election for members OF
Congress this year, there being no law au-
tborizing such election till November 1870.
The right OF the members elected in April,
1865, to be admitted 10 seats 10 the Forty
first Congress is question TO be determln--
ed by the House of Representatives when
said members present theuselves for ad-
mission, and an expression of opinion by
this committee is unnecessary.

James Fisk, jr., ttT great railroad specu-
lator, is rather an exaggerated specimen of
the genus American. He now proposes to
lay thild rail over the Rochester and Sy-
racuse railroad from Albany to Saratoga,
to connect with the Susquehauna route,
and thus give broad guage connection
with the West. IF. the company refuse 10
extend aid in the matter, Fisk proposes TO
bviid new railroad on his Individual re.
sponsibility. He also intends building q
monster. steamer to run between Albany
and New York, which, when completed,
will be the largest vessel Of the kind in the
world.

AN EXPLOSION about II o'clock this
a. M, many Of our citizens were startled
by the report of an explosion seemingly
from Pierson farm. In this country where
there are SO .many intlammable materials
and explosions Of a serious character 50 often
occur, y report of this kind, draws ont
inquiries. We find the Cause of this explo-
sion as follows; Mr.. Mason, wishing to
dispose OF lot of old cans that had for
merly contained gIycerine, and still retain
ed enough of thai highly explosive article
sticking 10 the sides OF the cans to make it
dangerous for them TO he thrown away as re-
lu4e, he thought to ou,pl3te their destruo-
tion by burninG them, SO they were caIefnlIy
placed in pile and fred. While The pile
was burning down, some little conclusion
occurred, which exploded one can, aud 'bat
in turn exploded all the Others. No harm
was DONE as Mr. Mason had exercised his
usual caution, but it serves 10 show how
dangerous even a very small quantity ol
glycerine is in the hands Of any but tie
most cautious and experienced.

THE GREAT YOSEMITE BITTERs. The
manufacture Of and the demand for this
popular Bitters is daily increasing, and it
finds favor in every market where it has
been introduced, The only trademark" 4"
in our opinion, this popular tonic needs, is
Q more extended system of advertising, and
hence far greater demand. With judi
clous advertising, such as every popular
medicine is receiving or has received
is, asystem of advertising that will place its
name before the people OF every State in
the Union-which reqnirss a small amount
more capital than is at present invested in
it by its proprietor, and the income will
yearly increase, until the sales compare
with other medicines Of q different nature
that are now before the public, yielding im-
rense incomes to those who are so fortu-
nate as to be connected with their manufac-
tura. 1t is surprising how rapidly the de-
mand for the great Yosemite Bitters has
increased since its proprietor first introduc-
cd it, and we venture to say that, should
Il sufficient amount of capital become inter
ested in its manufacture, it would prove to
be one of the best paying investments in
which limited amount Of money could be
placed. We throw out these suggestions,
uot knowing whether the proprietor, DR..
j. W. Downer, will approve or not, but we
have had our say, and now he can have his

LIVE RAT IN a BoY's SroMAcH.-The
Altoona Tribune OF this week has the fol-
lowing ''rat' story We called at,tho house
of Mr.. James S. Mann, residing on Emma
street, on Monday evening last, to witness a
live rat which had been elected from the
stomach OF little boy, about five years
of age, the son of Mrs. Sarah Rogers. The
little fellow. as stated by the mother. had
been playing about the yard, when feeling
no doubt uncomfortable, be came to his
mother and displayed restessness and sick
ness With frequent evidence; of stransula-
tiou, exciting the mothers fears that some
thing serious WAS about TO transpire. After
great exertion, he threw up, to all intents
an purposes, an actual living rat. which
so far ns the mother could toll. might have
been swallowed ty The boy, but in what wny
or manner will perhaps remain forever y
mystery. The rat could not have been. from
all appearances, more than thre- or four
days old, as it was entirely haircss-mcas-
uring, as near rs we could judse-uot bav
