A CORRECTION In our issue of the

'Are we in Peace or Warp" Which we
find did much injustice to the soldiers
who we're sent to arrest Capt J. Banks
Lyle; and rs We have no inclination to
make false statements ngainst any one,
we deem it our duty 10 correct those in
the article alluded to. We thought the
source from whence we obtained tho in I.
formation perfectly reliable, or VIC
should not have published it. A gentle
man who was present when tho soldiers
went to Capt. Lyle's house, and in whom
the utmost reliance cnn be placed, in
forms us that it is not true that the
soldiers eat the breakfast prepared for
the students, nor did they hitch their
horses in the front yard among the
sbrubbery. While there they did moth
ing to injnre the premises, or that was
discourteous to the inmates Of the house.
That they fed their horses from Capt,
Lyle's crib is true. but they say they are
ready TO pay for the corn when the
captain presents his bill. They paid a
colored woman to cook their break fast
for them the officers eating in the negro
quarters. We ask those of our cotempo
raries who published our former state.

A man named Antonio CORR, and an

Being both engaged in the same business,
it is said they are jealous of each othsr,
and A. Levine thought that Corr turned

Levine says that ne found Corn turning on

Huntsville TO NashviIIe

The Maxwell House last evening was the
scene of very pleasant and agreeable re-
union, the more SO, because it was without
display, and yet extremely cordial. Ali
who have visited the Maxwell have par
taken of the good meals provided by that
chief of stewards, Mr.. Venable, formerly
of Huntsville, Ala The ladies, especial
ly, know Miss Ramsey, the housekeeper
of the establishment, who has made for
herself and the Maxwell, desirable repu-
tation. The cleanliness and ele-
gance Of the rooms acknowledge her
minislering hand, and all acknowledge the
inprovising genius of that master of hotels,
Mr.. Kean. Last evening a magnificent
cake, with beautiful ornamentaiion, and
proper inscriptions, was presented to Miss
Ramsey as the gift of the 'Chief Baker
of Huntsville. She received it in the
spirit in which it was given, and then with
that OVERLOOKING of the heart that charac-
terizes her, divided il between the princi-
pal employees of the house. All ate and
we're merry.

Troops for thc south.

Three companies of United States
Cavalry from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas,
recently arrived at Louisville, Kentucky.
Yesterday morning they reached this city
by special train, on the Louisville and
Nashville railroad, under command of Col.
Merrill. They did not delaNlong in this city
but passed on to their destination, which
is Columbia, South Carolina, where they
have been ordered TO keep the peace.
Some of the party said they were going to
South Carolina ''to fight the niger mill
tia" If they are as hostile to the African
race as one of the officers was yesterday,
stirring times may be expected. When the
officers and troops disembarked at the
Louisville depot to get breakfast, negro
hackman asked one of the officers if he
would have a hack, the officer replied,
Get out of my way, you son of gun or I
will shoot you, or six you, or something
of the sort. The darkey skedaddled to the
rear.
A special freight train followed the SOL
diers yesterday, carrying their horses and
necessary paraphernalia.

GROUNDLESS OBJECTIONS.

objections are sometimes raised against GER
tain medicines on the ground that they cure so
many different diseases. \ moments reflec-
ton will expose the shallowness of such an ar
gument, for there is scarcely n medicinal drug
of any kind that is not used for more than one
disease. The reason why MISHLER'S HERE
BITTERS cures so many diseases is because
it is the best remedy ever discovered for de-
ranged stomach or dyspepsia, and because it
invigorates the entire system, strengthens the
nervous fbreS, elevates the standard of all the
vital forces, and sustaius most healthful tone
of the entire human organism. Medicine that
will do this will cure any disease, for the SIM
pie reason, that nature will do the rest. 1t is
sure protection against disease. and if the i'm
portance of protective medication were gener-
ally understood, no family in the land would
risk being without this great household RENE
dy for single day. Sold by all druggists and
dealers. Dr. S. B. Hartmon & Co., Proprietors,

Very Interesting Meetings

Ths religious awakening and interesting
meetings ct the First Cumberland Prssby-
terian Church, under the Jealous ministra-
lions of the pastor, Rev. Or. Baird, assist
ed by Rev. Mr.. Dewitt, of which mention
was recently made, continue with undated
and increasing indications of good results.
Meetings are held nightly to large and
deeply Interested congregations, at which
sincere and devotional exhibitions are
abundanHy manifest. There have been
some fifteen or sixteen conversions to the
holy faith, and a number of our we'll
known citizens are among the seekers for
the pearl of great price, and still the good
work goes on. A number of sccessions
TO the church are expected on Sunday,
and prospects are that the meetings will
continue for some time yet with many
happy and gratifying results.

Future Prospects OF Co..on.

The New York Financial Chronicle in
its late issue says:
As to consumption, we must remember
that Great Britain is now running at about
its present maximum capacity, and it
would take several months to increase to
any considerable extent the number of its
spindles. Low prices for cotton and pay
ing prices for goods will, without doubt,
gradually enlarge its manufacturing power,
but this enlargement must necessarily be
of slow growth. According to the best
authorities, Great Britain is now consum-
ing five thousand bales per week more
than the average in 1869 20, and we
would, therefore, (allowing for any in
creased manufacturing power,) place her
Interested takings for the.year, as e maxi
mum, at 325, 600 bales moro than last year.
As to the continent, we cannot, in vieS of
the disorganized state of labor and of the
manufacturing districts of France and Ger
many, count on any considerable increase,
while our own consumption, by reason of
our want of water the early part of the
season, will not be much, if any, in excess
of 1S6970. Allowing, then, the largest
possible increase for the continent and
this country the remainder of the season,
we see that 400, 900 bales is probably the
very utmost the spindles of the world can
use during this crop year more than du-
ring the previous year.
As TO the prospects of supply from other
countries, they all appear to be quite
favorable, the only doubt that there will
be large increase brought 10 market from
these sources arising out of the question
whether the low prices will not check the
movement. Cotton, in excess of last sea-
son, has been raised almost everywhere.
Egypt is fulfilling her early promises of an
enlarged yield. India had a considerable
surplus left over from last crop, and is
harvesting better one. Brazil and other
similar sources are not, from present ap-
pearances, likely to make any change in
their contribution to the total supply,
while China has raised SO much herself she
viii want much less than heretofore from
India. That these are facts is now admit
ted on all sides. There is considerable
doubt, however, when, under the influence
of present prices. the India cotton will
come to market. But We think it is be-
coming evident, even if there is delay in
the movement from Bombay, which is
very likely, that still the worlds supply
from all sources other than American will
at least equal last years supply.
The conclusion from these facts would
appear to be that the balance of our pres
ent crop can probably be marketed at
about the prices now ruling, with perhaps
some little Improvement in the early sum-
mer months, unless during the latter
spring and early summer months the pro-
misses for the next yield should be equal to
the last; but with another planting Ike the
last we must be willing to accept lower
prices.

Death so the Mules.

Parties living at Guthrie, and in that
vicinity, report that serious disease has
broken out among the mules in that sec
ton, which has almost invariably proved
fatal. Considerable valuable stock has
lately been lost from this cause, and it is
suggested by parties from that neighbor-
hood, that if some good veterinary surgeon
should visit Guthrie about now, he would
not only confer benefit upon the stock
drovers there, but might possibly line his
nockata with nickels.
