Uje1g says: Though Gen. Sherman
was not supposed to cherish any par
ticular bitterness against slavery, or
even secession, he was one Of those
Northern commanders who violated
most conspicuously the laws of civ
ilized war, apparently from no other
motive than to crafty powerful fac
ton with which he had no real sympa-

The First Bale of the New Crop.
st, Landry EclipSes the Rio

NEW ORLEANS, July 1.-THE Price
Current says: Our cotton circles were COM
pletely taken by surprise this morning by
the receipt Of q new bale Of cotton, arrived
last evening. not from the Rio GTaude IS
usual, but St. Landry parish, shipped by
Mr.. joseph Berand from his plantation on
TeChe. As this is considerably in advance
Of general expectation, it has OCcasiOned
unusual excitement among factors and bro
kers, the more so as there can be no mis-
take about the bales being all Of the new
crop, well ginned, Of good staple and color,
CHASING mlddling fair to fair, new classii-
cation and weighing upwards Of
four hundred pounds. We learn
that this cotton is mostly from
Berand's plantation, but received liberal
contributions from bis neighbOTs who were
furnished by him with the seed planted, an
unusual early variety, known as ''the Her
long," selected with anticipation Of getting
an early yield. Under the circumstances
this arrival must be exceptional and very
much i'm advance of the general Louisiana
crop. In fact, owing to recent rains no
more can be expected for some time from
the same locality. The bale was purchased
by Col. VIM. Owen, at the fancy price OF
twenty-five cents, the right for a premium
10 be awarded for the first bale being re-
served to the planter. The owner forwards
It by express to-day TO Messrs. Bliss, Ben
nett Il Co, New York. This completely
eclipses the Rio Grande bales, which will
be due tomorrow. Our first receipt Of the
Louisiana crop last year, was on Aug. y,
and in the year before Aug. l.

Went to the Rio Grande,

A few days since the revenue cutter John
A. Dix was detailed to take Captain Kells,
of the Rio Bravo gunboat, and his recruits,
to the Rio Grande. As complimentary
send Off to Captain Kells, who is favor
lite here, the departure of the cutter and it's
destination were mentioned in all of the
city papers. 1t now appears, by special
dispatch from Washington to the Times,
that the Dix "went to the Rio Grande,"
and Cabinet meetings and sealed orders are
limited at as directing the movement, and
we are told that telegraphic conference of
two hours was held with General Sherman.
1t is possible the Secretary of the Navy
sent the Treasury Department police boat
out on sealed orders; many improbable
things are possible; but it is satisfactory to
know that Captain Freemans open orders
have been confirmed, and that Captain
Kells and his recruits-and also reporter
of the REPUBLICAN staff, who left for the
Rio Grande on the cutter-reached their
destination instead of going to the bottom
of the ocean. The Dix went to the Rio
