THREE MILLION BALEs.--We see that
tho Northern papers estimate tie cotton
r Of this season at the above figures,
aud that, at Is cents per pound, which
il is supposed It will sell for, and not
less, the South will receive 50, 900, 900.
We believe that there 10 cotton growing
sufficient to make 800, 900 900 bales, but
the question is, can it be oil picked and
sent to market. The calculation is this:
1t takes one hand to mako four bales,
and, of course, 100000 laborers to make
1900, 900. We have not that number Of
field hands, and when we DEDUCT the
hborers necessary to cultivate sugar,
rice, tobacco, corn and wheat, and do.
duct also the population Of the cities.
towns and villages, it will be seen that
we are short Of the labor necessary TO
secure 5000, 900 bales. With more
labor, the South can supply tho world
with cotton. Efforts are making to
induce immigration this way, but We
are not sure that any considerable num-
Der from Europe will come here to culti-
vate the soil. The only country where
we can look for any material increase Of
laborers is China. An experiment will
be made next season to cultivate cotton
with Chinese laborers, and IL it should
be n successful one, the increase then in
the production of cotton In the South
will be great enough to supply the
demand, and cotton-rsising in other
countries will be abandoned. We hone
we may secure 1900, 900 bales, but fear
there is not sufficient labor to secure
that amouut.-Ne1 Orleans Piieayane,

A New CATTLE DISEASE IN MAssAonp-
sRrrs.-A new cattle disease has APP
pcared in Shrewsbury, and has created
considerable excitement in that and the
nsighboring towns. Tho Westboro
Chromotyps has a full statement OF its
manifestations, from which it appears
that it is not pleuro.pueumonia. From
a post norton examination Of n of the
animals, it appeared that the external
appearance of tho lungs was that Of
health but, on cutting into their sub,
stance, the BRONCHIAL tubes were found
to be filled with minute t~hread.like
worms, so numerous as to occlude an.
parently these tubes throughout their
extent, and thus render respiration i'm
possible. These worms resemble fine
white thread u into lengths VARYING
from one to three inches, invested with
life, and forced Promiscuously into tho
sir passages of the lgngs. Rr. Thayer,
of Newton, a veterinary surgeon, made
the examination, and says the disease is
rare in this country ; he has seen but
ono case heretofore. There are some
twenty cattle affected. No definite
course of treatment 10 known, but oil of
tqrpentine diluted with sweet oil is
recommeaded.-R Worcester Spy.

Has ANY oNS SEEN Il CoNET?-We
find the subjoined in q Salt Lake paper /;
Some Of our exchanges state that the
comet, whose coming has been predict
cd for several years by the savans, has
made its appearance, and may be seen
by the naked eye on any clear night in
the northern part Of the heavens from
midnight to the rising Of the morning
star. Some of tho learned havo made
terrible assertions in regard to this
comet. For instance, they have as
sured us that il would approach nearer
the earth than any comet ever did be-
fore, and that either the earth or comet
would have. to change its course, or a
collision would be inevitable. As THIS
comet 10 said TO DO many thousand
times larger than the earth, and rs
il is n solid mass of fire, with
q tail of FIRE that would reach
around the earth more than u
hundred times, it is not at all unlikely
that n collision with it would prove rs
disastrous to the earth MS the late acct
dent on the Erie Railroad did to some
Of tho moro unfortunate passengers.
According TO tho astronomers, IT was
this comet that Immediately proceeded
the terrible civil wars in Greece, and
was Immediately followed by a terrible
contagiou in Persia and other Eastern
countries, a most dreadful plague, that
in a few weeks swept from the face OF
the earth more than ons-half the PEG.
pie Of the countries visited by it. Some
years after this comet appeared again,
and was preceded by a terrible civil
war in Rome, and was followed by q
plague or scourge, that piled tho dead
up in the streets Of that proud but cor
rupt city, until there was scarcely
enough persons left alive to bury tue
dead.
