value of the cotton at 800 per bale, the
money handled by our merchants for
this one product, and distributed among
the planting community, will be close upon
SOS, 600, 900. The bulk of this wealth will
remain in our midst and be applied to the
improvement and development of the coun-
try, the effect of which will be to promote
the interests of our city in every way con-
ceivable. Surely Memphis, surrounded by
such elements of wealth as,we have indicated,
increasing from year to year, cannot fail to
prosper and grow rapidly. 1t needs but wise
local and State legislation, reduced taxation,
a vigorous administration of the laws looking
to the protection Of life and property, enter
prise. and high standard of mercantile in
tegrity, to ensure the doubling of our popu-
lation and wealth within the next ten years
Since the war Memphis has labored under the
most adverse circumstances, and that
she has not only kept up
but progressed is evidence of remarkable
vitality. Our population is steadily on the
increase and new interests are rapidly spring
ing up, the extent and influences of which
will be more sensibly felt and recognized in
the near future. Since September last, ac-
cording to the books of one of our emigra-
tion agencies, the population of Memphis has
been increased some four thousand from the
Northwest, one thousand of whom are skilled
mechanics, the others being laborers, and
variously employed on the railroads and in
shops, stores, foundries, gardens, and the
like. The introduction of this element has been
attended with the most GRATIFYING results,
and the stream will continue on an increas-
ing scale. 1t is the class of population which
will stick and prosper, and of which our city
and section have been sorely in need. The
majority of them are foreigners, but many are
thoroughly yAmericanize so far as the language
and customs of the country are concerned,
and are well able to take care of themselves.
In addition to this accession some nine thou
sand of the same class have located within a
radius of one hundred and fifty miles of
Memphis as plantation hands and small farm
ers, and give promise of thrift and prosperity
almost unprecedented. The addition of this
element to our planting interest will largely
increase the products of our section and con-
tribute to the advancement of Memphis in a
greater measure than heretofore experienced.
1t is safe to assume that the cotton trade of
Memphis next season will not fall short of
100000 bales at the lowest estimate, while a
very marked increase in our general trade
for the next few months is foregone con-
clusion.

on which he attempted to vindicate the negro
character were selected by himself, and do
him no discredt. If what he singles out as
topics of eulogy are accepted by his negro
constituents as just grounds OF pride, the
speech is calculated to do good. We hope it
may steady and confirm them in the seni-
ments and conduct for which they are praised.
Mr.. Revels dwells, with warmth and satisfac-
ton, on the fidelity of the negroes to the
families of their masters in the late civil war.
He makes il a merit that they did not
then rise in insurrectioa; that they took
no advantage of the helpless and exposed
condition of the wives and children of
their employers, but served and protected
them with dutiful obedience throughout a
struggle in which their own freedom was at
stake. 1t cannot be disputed that their faith :
fulness in such season of temptation was
creditable to their character; and when they
find themselves praised for it by their own
Senator, and see it put forward as O ground
of confidence in their moderation and good
intentions, they are taught to measure their
conduct by really excellent standard. And
to when Mr. Revels disclaims, in their behalf,
any intention to thrust themselves into power
and domineer over the whites, the disclaimer
ought to operate as an incubation of duty.
So far as they defer to his opinion and re.
spect his Judgment, they must regard his dis.
avowments as furnishing the rule by which
their political aspirations ought to be re-
strained. If they will act in the spirit fol
which they are credited by their Senator, ant
make merit of their moderation and fidelity
they will greatly increase their chances oi
cordial, pleasant relations with their white
fellow-citiZens

THE TWO MISSING STEAMERS.

FrOn the NJ y. Herald
The villanous and senseless hoax which,
through the telegraphic news agency of the
Associated Press, was perpetrated upon this
community on Wednesday, in reference to
the missing steamer, the City of Boston, very
naturally excited the public indignation. But
the virtuous declarations on the part of the
responsible news agency of active efforts to
solve the mystery, and their offer of a reward
of five hundred dollars for the discovery of
the author of the cdnard, do not repair the
mischief. The telegraphic operator who sent
over the despatch permitted his zeal, perhaps,
to outrun his discretion in giving as positive
fact some loose conjecture or idle rumor float
ing in the street. No such thing as this,
however, should be permitted in any tele-
graph Office. The duty of every such office,
where an irresponsible report is handed in,
involving an important matter of fact, is to
inquire concerning it in the right quarter
before, and not after, sending off such report
as fact; and this rule, it is to be hoped, will
| be more carefully observed hereafter than 1T
has been by the news agency of the Asso-
| ciated Press.
We do not, however, yet abandon all hope
OF authentic news of the safety of the City of
| Boston, disheartening as it is to think OF her
chances after being forty mine days out from
Halifax and no authentic report concerning
noi' Our lhJeSJ news from Lne AAoIo9 iSianus,
however, is of the Goth of February, since
which date the steamer may have drifted in
there. With eight or ten days later intelli
| gence from Fayal, if we hear nothing OF her,
we shall be thrown back upon the painful
conclusion that, crushed, perhaps, among ice
bergs, or suddenly foundered in a heavy
storm, she has gone down, like the President
the Pacific, the City of Glasgow, and the
Tempest, leaving not a soul or avestige atioat
| to tell the point on the sea or the nature Of

GOLLADAY.

from the LeT9nJtOn (hy) Gazette.
Before the name of this individual shall
have become embalmed in infamy or sink to
an infamous oblivion, we would say few
words by way of expressing the indignation
which all Kentuckians feel at his most alb
horred conduct. He has confessed the crime
with which he has been charged, and for the
paltry sum of $4,000 has brought shame upon
this old Commonwealth and caused blush to
mantle the cheek of every man who hears his
name mentioned. We might have expected
such conduct from carpet-baggers, scalawags,
and niggers, but that white man, represent
ing a Kentucky Democratic constituency,
should sell himself to the devil for $4,000. isa
sin and a shame that passes our comprehen-
sion. He resigned, but we hope that the
Governor will not accept it. He should be
made to face the music, and to stand up in
his place in Congress to receive the sentence
OF expulsion amidst the jeers and SCOTS of
the House, galleries, niggers and all, and
then to be branded with infamy eternal. If
he is guilty, and we see no escape from it,
we do hope that his constituency will hang
him as high as Haman was hung if he should
ever put his foot on Kentucky soil again.
He is attempting to bully it out by announ-
cling himself as q candidate for reelection.
This is all sham. He would as soon go into a
cage of hyenas as to return to the people
whom he has disgraced and outraged. He is
the first Kentuckian that has ever disgraced
himself in high Office, and may his punish
ment be so terrible as forever to deter an
other from the commission of like offense

COTTON PLANTING.

From the Memphis oalanche.
Oar receipts of cotton to date sum up
231, ,O10 bales, against 2l4,317 bales for the
corresponding period last season, showing an
increase of about ten per cent. From the
18th of March to the 31st of August, 1869,
our receipts were 33,3S1 bales. Estimating
that our receipts for the remainder of this
season will maintain the rate of increase
realized up to this time, the result for the
entire season will approximate 26S, 900 bales
The receipts for the whole of last season were
%7,698 bales 1t is generally admitted, how
ever, that there is more cotton in the coun-
try than at this time last year, and it will not
be surprising therefore if receipts should roll
up totato 275,000 bales. Estimating the

THE FALSE EXCUSE FOR OUR DIS
GRACE.
From the N. Y. Sun.

from the ~. Y. Sun.
The apologists for General Grants neglect
of his duty to protect American citizens in
Cuba set up as an excuse that the Navy De-
partment is helpless. and that Admiral Por-
ter has no ships to send to the West Indies
for such purpose.
How false this pretense is may be seen
from the fact that the Benicia, "a magnif-
cent sloop- carrying battery of four
teen guns of heavy calibre," sailed from Bos-
ton on Saturday, the 9th inst, for Rio on her
way to China and Japan; that the Alaska,
sloop- likewise carrying fourteen
guns, is to sail for the same destination to-
day; and the great frigats Colorado, car
ryiHg forty-nine undred-pounders, is nearly
ready to join them. If the administration
were governed by common sense and Ameri-
can feeling, instead of being in the interest
of Spain, il would not pretend that it had no
ships with which to save the lives and pro-
perty of our citizens in Cuba, when it is
sending these three fine vessels to China,
where there is no pressing need for them.
Neither would it employ one or two of the
men-of-war that belong to the existing West
India squadron in carrying President Baez
of St. Domingo about on pleasure trips
Just as the Tallapoosa was kept here to carry
that great bon 0G00nt, Mr.. Robson, about
on pleasure trips last summer when she was
imperiously required for duty on the coasts
of Cuba.
One great difficulty with this administra-
ton is that it thinks a great deal of its own
pleasure and very little of it's duties. Gene
raj Grant desires Congress to adjourn early
IN order that he may enjoy the pleasures of
Long Branch, Saratoga, free travelling, and
free entertainment in all parts of the coun-
try. Mr.. Fish administers the Government
in the interest of Spain, and leaves our citi-
zens and consuls to be mobbed and murdered
in Cuba; and he has for his reward the plea
sure of complying with the wishes of his
son-in-law, the Spanish agent. Admiral Por-
ter carries on the navy for his own pleasure,
and sends our ships everywhere but where
they are wanted. Mr. Robeson eats rich
dinners, looking upon the wine when it is
red, when it giveth its color in the cup, when
it moveth itself Alright, and great, no doubt
is his pleasures and among them all, the
United States is become the scorn of the
world, and the citizen of the pettiest duke
dom in Germany is safer and more respected
in any foreign land than the citizen of thi.
famous and mighty Government.

her disaster. But still we hold to the chance
of the Azores Islands.
Some distrust is also beginning to be felt
as to the safety of the Cunard steamer Sa-
maria, now eighteen days out from Queens
town, bound for this port. The Cunarders
have been so remarkably punctual in their
trips at all seasons that, where one of those
steamers is concerned, detention of four or
five days beyond her appointed time is mat
ter for some apprehensions of at least dis
abling accident But the Samaria, we dare
say, has suffered nothing worse than the
Smidt, and we may expect a report at any
moment OF her appearance at the Hook. In
real stormy wintry weather the passing winter
seems to have been crowded into the month
of March, andso elengthening of steamers
passage six, eight or ten days across the At
lantic is no cause for any great anxiety.

A Case Of Twenty Years
Standing.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June p, 1867.
II. T. IIELMBoLD, Druggst-DEAR SIR: l have
been a sufferer for upwards of twenty years with
gravel, bladder and kidney affections, during which
time have used various medicinal preparations
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians, experiencing but little relief.
vertised, consulted my family physician in regard
TO using your Extract Buchu.
l did this because had used all kinds of adver.
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
scme quite injurious in fact, despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to remedies
hereafter unless l knew of the ingredients 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As you
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys
ican as excellent combination; and with his adj
vice, after an examination OF the article and con-
sultng again with the druggist, concluded to ty
it. commenced to it about eight months ago,
at which time was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben
efcial effect, and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you a
full statement of my at the time, but thought
my improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer and see il it would
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
am now able to report that a cure is effected,
after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months and
feel as well in all respects as / ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
