Trade of New Orleans for the Pas
Year.

The receipts of Cotton from
the first of September, 1870, to
August 81, 1871, were
Bales. ,o4S, l36
Sales for the same period. $40, 900
Exports for the same period. Il ,541 1859
The proportion of the total
crop received at New Orleans is
not as large as last year, though
the greater number of bales may
delude some Of our old fogies in
to the belief that business is in
creasing. Facts, stubborn facts,
prove the contrary.
The receipts of Sugar, for the
past commercial year. were as
follows:
dOgSheads s............................ ,OOl
Sales for the same period. 500
The receipts and sales of Mo-
lasses Sor the same period, were
as follows:
Barrels 2,9ls

We also find a reduction in
the proportion of receipts of the
total crop of Sugar and Mo1as-
SeS.

The Boston Post says: at is
time for England to take coun-
sci and to be looking about for
some staunch friends to share
the dangers to which she must be
liable. Russia's menacing Ian
guage and overtures to France
mean a complication which Great
Britain can not avoid"

We clip the following from the
New Orleans Bulletin of Friday ::
"The freight tariff in Red river
went up another peg yesterday,
as the boats were demanding two
full old card rates to Shreveport
from one and u half the day pre-
vious, and still firm at three old
card rates to Boon's Bend, with
special rates on certain articles
to both places, and VIC should not
be astonished to find that the
ruling rates next would he three
and four old card rates, for the
present low stage of the river
will not allow the boats to carry
full loads, and they must have
some margin to go on, or else
quit the business"

Bismarck's effort to compel the
Roumanian Government to pay
up the interest on the State rail
way bonds was a movement
which threatened to reopen that
eternal wrangle, the Eastern
question. What special advan-
tage the reopening of that ques-
ton could be to Germany, at the
present crisis, is not apparent.
It is suggested that Bismarck,
seeing another war impending in
which France and Russia will
probably be united, is disposed
to precipitate the crisis before
the former shall have recovered
from her late terrible disasters.
The Gastcin Conference, and the
alliance of Germany, Austria,
and Italy will most probably
have q sedative influence upon
the belligerency of the other
European Powers.

Oscar J. Dunn, Lieut.. Cover
nor Of the State, has published a
letter reviewing the situation in
this State of the Republican
party and it's late split. The
document is addressed to Mr..
Horace Greeley, and handles the
Warmothites not only facetiously
but pretty roughly, making in
its way rather interesting read
ing to the parties concerned.

Mr.. Il. a. Pollard, who has
been long balancing himself upon
the stool Of repentance, has at
last fallen into the arms of the
Saints, and now, with that vim
dictiveness invariably character
istic of converts, outdOes in zeal
the bitterest enemies of the
South. He is about publishing a
new work which, with a refine
ment of satire, he entities 'sThe
Lost Curse" in which he throws
off the mask Of Southern sympa-
thy and boldly allies himself with
the Radicals. The Providence
Herald says: Upon the whole,
the South has great cause for sat
isfaction at this result. Hereto
fore, under cover of his nativity,
he did much towards falsifying
it's history and misrepresenting
it's people, but now that he takes
his proper stand, the cloven foot
shows so plainly throughout his
history for the past ten years
that they who run may read. All
countries and all climes have
produced their Esaus, who sold
their birthright, and no one en-
.vies Mr.. Pollard his mess of pot
tage. 1t is fit that history should
be so vindicated, and when lie
points its moral the South can
well afford to forget his conduct.

The British postcard system
is 4 grand success. A party goes
to the post office and indites n
short message on one side of a
prepared card, the address being
ON the other side. The postage
charge is but half a penny. Dur
ing the first six months of this
postal experiment Il hundred and
twenty-five millions of cards
were delivered from the various
post offices Of the United King
dom, realizing 1851, ,j61 in the
way of postage receipts.

The maxim that the voice Of the people is the
voice of the divinity. may, in some cases, be
open to doubt, but the testimony of honest and
enlightened witnesses extending through Sc
res of years, and all to the same purport, is wor
thy of credence, admits of no question Upon
such testimony the reputation of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters as an antdOte and cure for ma
ny ailments is based During the twenty years
that it has been before the world, innumerable
preparations intended to compete with it, have
gone up like rockets, and come down the eXtin-
guished sticks. Meanwhile the progress of that
Incompatible tonic has been swift and steady
always upward and onward like the eagle flight
Its introduction produced rev olution in thera-
peutics, and it proved to be one CT those salutary
revolutions that cannot go backwards. To-day
Hostetters Bitters is one of the most popular
remedies in christendom, and commands a lar
ger sale than any other medicinal preparation
domestic or imported, on this side Of the Allan
tic. AS cure for dyspepsia, bilious disorders,
nervous affections general debility, and as
preventive of epidemic fevers, 1t takes prece-
dence of every other remedy. This fact should
teach the ambitious country dealers who endeav-
or to foist their local abortions on the public in
its stead, how futile their small attempts to ca
jole the community must necessarily be- Where

worthy of the position which he has been elect
ed to fill. He is as faithful to duty as the needle
to the pole.

The citizens generally, and Ministers especial

Mai. n. II. Hotchkiss travelling agent for the
Richmond s. York River Railroad and connect
mig steamers, was in our city last week, laboring
for that line of transportation. Major Hotch-
kiss is an efficient agent, and has done much for
the company in whose interest he is employed.
His line is one of the best and cheapest routes
for freight from and to Baltimore, and we are
glad to know that number of our merchants
order by that line. Maj. Hotchkiss is an in
domitable worker and has done much for Vir-
ginia during the past few years. We trust his
labors in the future may be crowned with sue
cess, as they have been in the past.
