As we intimated in our last re.
port-that the probabilities were |
that cotton would not decline mate.
rally on account Of the war so It has
thus far proven and the cotton quo
tations showa fair market In view |
of the enormous and, as we think,
greatly oVer-estimated quantity Of
cotton produced for this crop.
The reports that come to US from
all quarters are generally discour-
aging for q full crop, and In many
instances make the deficit q very
great one.
The Memphis Appeal, usually
q we'll informed paper, 10 confident
when judging from its advices on
the question that the yield will be
cut short to an extent unthOught Of,
by worms, drouth, excessive wet,
grass, etc, these several causes be-
lug sometimes combined in one To-
cality.
We think that now II must be ev-
ident to rejecting minds that the
European war will cut down our
foreign exports very little II 1t does
not result in increasing them, and
this taken in connection with a
short crop, should such prove the
case, will, it would seem, advance
the present price to meet the then
existing circumstances.
Another idea regarding the prob
able effect of the European war
upon cotton is this II Is confident
ly predicted by some leading jour-
nails, that continuance of the war
will involve England and Russia as
parties thereto as well as Turkey
and Austria, in fact the whole Of
Europe. In that case (though we
think ii remote), the foreign cotton
production would naturally and
inevitably languish. England's
fields in India would be barren
wastes; 50 would Egypts on the
African shores, and thus almost the
whole cotton production would be
in the hands OF the South. II would
certainly be God send to US here,
and it would give Us controlling
power of the cotton market, which
we need never lose. 1t is very
palpablc that il the war con-
tinues several months, grain, meal,
and breadstulls will be very
high, and we urge it up
on our planters 10 plant
largely of turnips, grasses, grains,
etc, at once, or as early as possible,
that the deficiency OF animal food
existent upon almost every planta-
ton, may be somewhat supplied,
and thus, also, prevent the necessi-
ty of sending about all the receipts
for cotton out of this section, TO
purchase these wanting but needed
supplies elsewhere. And those
who do not plant, it might be well
for them to consider whether 1t Is
not to their interest now to pur-
chase stores OF the kinds indicated
before their prices reach a higher
figure.

STRAlNING AT a GYAT.-Thc

"opcn the pcnitentiary door for
him, and then let us have all end

This is all very well, but, as the

the greater offenders? Why not
punish Dennis Mccarthy, who
voted money into his own pockets
and those OF his partners in the

manner;
"Why not punish Morrcll, Of
Pennsylvania, who, being IN own

openly voted in Congress to raise
the duty on steel, and thus to put
money in his own pockets, and
those Of his partners.
"Why not punish Hooper, Of
Massachusetts, who, being an

THa Chicago Tribune, radical }
says:
The Ku.Klux Klan is a standing
political transparency, and Oliver
p. Morton, in the United States
Senate, and B. f. Butler, in the
House, naturally pass it to and
fro, like a couple of advertising
promenaders. "The whole policy
and sole hope of the plumber set
in the South is to invent and
spread diabolical stories of mas
sacres, murders, rapes, masked
batteries, ETC., ETC., and under
cover of these lies to call out the
militia, and keep the better popu-
lation by intimidation from the
polls". This is the game.

We have carefully inquired from
planters this week how the cotton
was doing, aud from all we can
learn, the prospect is not near so
good as 1t was this tune last
year.-Tensas (La.,) Gazette.
We have heard rumors Of tue
regular cotton worm making its
appearance in portions OF our par
ish, but have nothing reliable in
regard to them. For week past !;
it has rained daily, which is injuri-

Reports from crops are b. no

medium yield. Rain, have been
very partial, and are badly needed

more largely Of corn they would
have escaped to a great extent the

The crop prospects in this county
are not so encouraging as a few
days ago. In many districts there
has been deficiency in the quan.
tity Of rain that has fallen, and both
corn aud cotton have suffered,
while In other portions more rain
has fallen than was necessary for

been raining daily tor more than a

been very heavy, and attended by
strong winds, which have pros.

Our readers will read read with
indignation and disgust the ex-
tract of a speech of Jacobson in
the Wesson affair. What are white
men, nay, what are white women
to expect, when such doctrines are
announced from officials in high
position2 It was never designed
by the great Father of all things
that the white man should be re.
duced to the social level of the
negro. It is not within the com.
pass Of power assigned to men, or
devils, to bring about such a re-
suit. A negro is = negro, and a
white man Is q white man, the
world over, and all the Jacobsons
spawned upon the face of the
Globe cannot enforce his negro
equality idea. a.-okolona Monitor

Daybreak in France.

The Revolution in France progresses bravely.
The new Ministry, formed by NJ. Olivier, has
been completed, announced and accepted by His
Majesty and by the nation. Nearly all the lead
ing journals commend it heartily, the exceptions
being one or two extreme Radical organs, whom
nothing short of a Republic, and a Red one at
that, can suit. On New Years Day the Corps
Legislatit called on the Emperor, when he took
occasion to give significant assurances of his
determination to accept the new situation in good
faith and do all in his power to bring about
harmonious relations between the Chambers and
the Crown, and give peace to.the country. He
remarked that the changed condition of affair
had invested the Chambers with new prerogativel
without iinpairing the Legitimate authority of the
Imperial Government. His speech to the bishops
was equally emphatic in it's declaration of a
determination to bow to the inevitable, and make
the best of matters. That his words had a
reassuring effect was shown in the increased
frmness of the rentes, and the general advance
of all classes of securities.
France is now on trial. What shall be the
issue of the present experiment? Will she prove
equal to the task of working out the problem O
liberty? The Emperor has determined to give
her a trial, and we believe a fair one. He has
staked his crown and tie fate of his dynasty on
the result. 1t now remains to be seen whether
the people will prove worthy their new privileges,
will be content to wait patiently for the %fruition
of their hopes of freedom or imperil all by de-
handing impossibilities.

Gleanings.

EDITORS AND OFFICE.-It was a great loss to the
Republican ticket in New York when George
William Curtis declined the first place upon it.
But no one can dispute his reasons, nor fail to be
charmed with the modest grace with which he
states them, in the impersonal way, in Harpey's
Weekly.
If an editor who is constantly engaged in COM
ment and criticism upon public men and public af-
fairs becomes q part Of the executive government,
is he not laid under the strongest temptation to
forego the frank treatment of all public acts and
persons, whether national or local? Upon whole
range of topics with which he has an official con-
%nection, would not his observations almost i~nevita-
bly, be suspected? And is not an editor who does
his duty intelligently, conscientiously, courteously
serving his State, his country and his party quite
as efficiently as he could serve them in any Office?
The independence of the press, OF which we
hear q great deal of proud rhetoric, is the indie
pendence of the editor. But every editor knows,
and every reader can see, how easily that indie
pendence may be disturbed. If, for instance, an
editor privately s%olicits for his friends appoint
ments to Office and is successful, his pen becomes
naturally very reluctant to censure the appointing
power. On the other hand, the appointing power,
in fear OF newspaper hostility. is sorely tempted
to appoint the editors candidate, even If he does
not appear to be altogether worthy. Indeed, to
preserve the strict and unsupported independence
of the press, and therefore enable it to fulfill its
real function in our political society, the editor
must carefully avoid every thing that creates per-
political obligation. BY keeping himself
free from .sentangling alliances - he maintains
his highest authority, bis best influence.
Yet not the less grateful is the generous call OF
friendship which summons him to other
duties. If he cannot listen to it, he can never
forget it. 1t inspires him to more faithful endeavor.
1t stimulates hin to prove both that the confidence
was not misplaced and that his decision was as
wise as it was unavoidable.

The tun Roads to India.

We had our modest celebration on Promontory
Point, on May 10th, of the completion OF the Pa
ci6c Railroad, which is bringing the North
Atlantic into direct communication with the
North Pacific. On November 18th, the three
continents of the Old World, Europe, Asia and
Africa. will unite in celebrating an event OF az
much Importance to them as our great railroad Is
to us on this continent. The Central Pacific
Railroad commenced work in 1868, and the Union
met and joined it six years afterwards. The
Suez Canal was begun in 1854, and has been hf-
teen years in progress. The cost OF our two
railroads was, in round figures, SlOU ,UOO ,UUO.
The cost of the Suez canal, when finished, Will be
$50, 600 900. The first men who actively drew
public attention to the necessity OF our railroad,
and presented definite plans for national aid to the
work, were probably Plumbe and Whitney, who
began the agitation scarcely more than thirty
years ago. The Suez Canal was a favorite pro-
ject of the Pharaohs. Some engineers said of our
railroad that it could never be built. So said the
French engineers, who accompanied Napoleon
Bonaparte to Egypt, of the Suez Canal SO said
the second Stephenson and a host of English en-
gineers when Lord Palmerston questioned them
on the practicability Of NJ. Lessep's scheme. The
Suez Canal will open a short cut to India for all
steamers and sailing vessels now afoat, with full
cargo, except the Great Eastern. That vessel,
when she steamed out of the Thames with the
French cable on board, drew nearly FIVE feet more
water than there is in the canal. The completion
Of this great work will not sensibly diminish the
time spent by passengers en- route for Ceylon,
Bombay, Calcutta and Madras, but it will mate
rally shorten the number of days spent in the
London, and Uice versa, there will be a sharp
competition between the two roads, the eastward
by the Suez Canal and the westwar by the Pa
ciic Observation-Disclosures.

Spurgeon-As he Was and Is.

Those who go to listen to Mr.. Sturgeon at the
present day with notions derived from the reputa-
ton he earned for himself in the past, will unQues-
tionably be disappointed. He no longer INDUCES
in those eccentricities which did SO much origi-
naily to attract notice to his preaching. He still
says sterling things, and it is by no means un-
common to see a broad smile fit across the faces of
his congregation, even when he is speaking about
the most solemn subjects but the extravaganza of
his earlier days is toned down.
The writer, for his part, must declare that he
went to listen to Mr.. Spurgeon as strongly preju-
diced against him as one could well have been
but that after hearing him preach at least half "a
dozen times, and after reading more than a score
of his printed sermons, he finds his old prejudice
entirely destroyed. In their place he is free to
confess that he entertains a very lively admiration
OF the great preachers simplicity and earnestness.
He has no respect for his literary powers, nor has
he any sympathy with the forbidding character of
much OF his theological creed, but he has never
heard a preacher who was able to impress his au-
dIence with such a sense of his own earnestness
and sincerity by means so simple as those which
MIR. Spurgeon uses to effect this end. HIS SER
mons are, like his prayers, entirely ertenapore.
The preacher stands in front of his platform.
pocket Bible in hand, and pours out i'm that
wonderful voice of his a discourse which is al
ways telling, and which would be eloquent were a
little more pains taken with its composition. To
literary merit, however. Mr.. Spurgeon does not
apparently aspire, nor does he ever seek to in-
dui5e In rhetorical fireworks above the heads of
the congregation. On the contrary, bis first OBJ
Ject appears to be to talk in the simplest manner
to each person before him. Anecdotes, some of
them rather too ludicrous, one would think, to be
used with propriety in the pulpit, quaint illustra-
ton and expressions, the constant use of Scrip-
tural phrases, and forcible personal appeals to his
hearers, make up the stOck-in-trade Of Mr.. Spur
geOn as a preacher.
When you analyze his sermons you marvel at
the effect they have produced ; but when YOU
listen to them as a whole, rolled forth by that
magnificent voice, and evidently coming straight
from the heart OF a man terribly in earnest, you
cease to wonder at their success. That there are
many drawbacks to the pleasure of listening to
him we need hardly say he does not scruple at
times to harangue his congregation on Sunday
morning upon the political events of the mast
week; but even when he does not do this. It is
impossible to mistake his political creed. He
the church establishment as a monstrons
he looks upon the conservative party as
q herd composed of designing knaves and ignor-
ant dupes. He is as free in praising .s William
Gladstone - as the Daily Teleqrdph itself.
