COMPLAINTS are being made
throughout the State of negroes
having given up the gathering of
their crops, owing to the low
price of cotton. In some places,
it is with the utmost difficulty that
they can be prevailed upon to pick
at all. The Holly Springs indie

The battle. fields OF the present
campaign between the Germans
and the French, it is stated, ac-
quired early celebrity as the head
quarters of Typography. Metz
was one of the first towns where
the art of printing was practiced,
and the ancient works which have
come from the presses are numer-
Gus. Strasburg, it is asserted,
was, from 1424 to 144S, the resi-
dence Of Gutenberg, although no
dated book is extant of an earlier
year than l47l. In kS40 q statue
of Gutenberg was erected In Stras-
burg, and was unveiled with great
pomp. Toul is noted as the place
where one of the first attempts at
stereotyping was made. The edi-
tions of the classics published at
Sedan rival the Elzevirs, and are
beautiful specimens of minute
type. Kehl was the final resting
place of the beautiful type Of
Baskerville, with which Beau
marchais printed an edition of
Voltaire's writings, on blue paper,
for Frederick the Great of Prus-
sia, who was suffering from an
affection of the eyes. Rheim and
Verdun are also worthy of com
memoration as cities where the
art ofprinting was practiced at an
early period, and ct Verdun an
edition of the English Book OF
Common Prayer was printed for
the use of the English civilian
prisoners who had been arrested
by Napoleon /, while peaceably
travelling in Europe, and were de.
tanned for many years in that city.

pondent writes:
Where are the crown jewelsI is
the question asked at present by
some of those people who think
that some care should be taken of
the morrow, and that France may
yet see brighter days even if her
capital should fall. The poor EN-
press was accused of . desire to
spirit them away, and although
she gave the lie to the calumny by
ordering an inventory to be made
and the whole collection to be
turned over to General Trochu,
80 soon as that gentleman was
appointed to the dictatorship of
Paris, still q lingering fear of Of
fetal robbery remained in the
minds of all, and to this alone
must be asCribed the arrest of
Princess Mathilde and the seques-
tration of her sixty-two trunks at
Dieppe. She was released, of
course, as soon as her seventy-two
million francs worth of art treas.
ures were discovered to be the
coinage of too fertile imagination,
but the public was not satisfied,
and so the Governor of Paris has
seen fit to announce to his fellow
citizens that the Bank of France
is not the place of deposit of this
portion of the nations wealth,
but that every one may rest as
sured that it is in a safe place,
(which, for obvious reasons, he
declines to disclose"
1t would be q rare ''treasure
trove" should Paris be given up to
"loot," and the German army
would be recompensed financially
for much Of its privations and
suffering if it could divide up this
plunder, which in 1871 was esti-
mated at more than 100000
francs.
Formerly the crown jewels were
in charge of the keeper Of the
Garde Meuble Royale, but by a
decree of the National Constituent
Assembly, dated Goth and 9th
May, and 22d June, l791, Messrs.
Dion, Christin and Dclathe were
