Our Opportunity.

Ia the Baltimore Convention the South
will once more assume the rightful power
and influence which, until twelve years ago,
she always welded in shaping the political
destinies OF he nation. II will be her own
fault if that power does not substantially
control the action OF the Convention. At
tLis time, the sense OF common wrong and
protracted persecution should suffice to give
to her vote the same formidable element OF
unbroken solidly which, in times past, tie
defence of her "peculiar institution " rem
dered so Indispensable. The whole number
OF votes to be given in the Convention will
be .zl4 or these, the Southern States will
cast 2Gs. But it is reasonably certain that
tho Northern vote will be more or less evenly
divided between those who insist upon new
nominations aud those who favor The en-.
dorsement of Greeley and Brown, or, what
amounts practically 10 the same thing, no
nominations at all. II, then, the Southern
delegations should determine to stand to.
gether unanimously, or nearly unanimously,
in support OF the Cincinnati candidates, 1t
will at once be seen that the chances are
strongly in favor Of such action as will &C.
cure the success OF the Liberal ticket
But will .ae Southern vote be cast with
that unanimity which the crisis demands!
Judging from the tone and temper OF
our contemporaries OF the Southern press,
we are confident that, with the exception,
perhaps, OF Georgia, every State from Dela-
ware to Texas will resolutely lock shields at
Baltimore 10 repel the fresh disaster which
Mr.. Dan voorhees, and those who think with
him are seeking to bring upon the South and
the whole country. And even in Georgia,
it is by no means certain that the prepon-
derance OF Democratic sentiment is not
likewise in favor OF supporting Greeley and
Brown. In any event, it is not likely that
the great and generous Empire State OF the
South, secure herself iI her regenerated gov
ernment and in her assured white majority,
will oppose the only course which holds out
the hope of redemption to her less fortunate
Southern sisters.

@- A WHOLESOME STIMULANT,
THAT Is ABSOLUTELY PURE-Physclans
throughout the world agree as to the necessity foi
dinusIve stimulants In medical practice, but com
plain, and with good reason, of the impossioility
OF obtaining them pure. The difficulty here pre-
sented would be serious one indeed, II lle class
OF agents WAS limited to the adul'erated liquors
and wines of trade. 1t vantshes. however, When
tho oheolnte purity anu extraordinary restorative

the system for few minutes, but could produce
no permanent benefit. Tne stimulating clements
of the Bltters is MEANS not an end. The tonic,

Cotton "Fatures."

A New York cotton dealer, in a letter
noticing the effect of the establishment OF
the Cotton Exchange OF that city in devel-
oping the business in cotton for future de-
livery, which has now attained such vast pro-
portions, takes occasion to give to the plant
ers OF the South bit OF wholesome and
timely advice. He says:
"Whether this new departure is to ultimate
ly benefit the planter, the factor, the dealer,
or the spinner, is still a riddle; and If either
Is to be more directly the gamer than the
other by as complete q metamorphosis as this
new system Of future contracts has created,
no one class thus far is given the credit OF
prominent favorllism. 1t is generally admit
ted by al. in interest that the marketing oil
cotton for delivery far Into the iuture oy the
planter is, and is to be the fact. The securing
of such contracts by the spinner must grow
land become, in course Of time, an equal part
of the same fact, and the object Of this note
10 your good Journal Is to hint 10 the planters
throughout the South the utility Of preparing
the crops this seuson and those OF the future
to meet the rigid requirements OF the New
York Cotton Exchange. New and Improved
machinery for ginRing cannot fail to pay large
dividends, as low grades containing sanu,
Leaf or seed cannot be delivered, ana Always
find hard and unsatisfactory marker. False
packing, light bales, and those containing
gin-tag or water damage, always interfere
with the deliveries, and always cost The owner
many times more than any labor or care need
ed In first rendering the bales merchantable.
A bale of cotton weighing about four hundred
pounds, and in good order, of any grade, from
good ordinary to good middling, including
half grades, returns to the owner its full grade
value according to contract price. Lower
grades, or singular cottons, do not, and the
sooner the planter finds 1t out and acts upon
it the better for him and ior his agent In this
market, as we'll as alt concerned"

'Leaving St. Croix we come to McAdam
Junction where the rails are met by those

fertile in boulders, granitic in composition and
nearly white in complexion. The dog lives
here because his master has chosen it as his
abode, also the cat, also probably the hen.
Goats might subsist here if well cared tor at

devastated the woods, and shrubs have not
yet tried to grow m1ch-thinking it hopeless.
But men and women subsist here on food
brought from afar. There are three dining
places, where you can whet your teeth, and
appease your appetire, also several shanties
where you can have whiskey and rum. Free
fights occur here in which any one inclined
can take part, without fear of police or mag5
istrates. No murders have yet been commit

have been received. This is the place where
