Col Edmands, of the Boston Cadet Corps,
and Col f. c. Stevens, Assistant Inspector
General of Massachusetts are members OF a
committee to prepare report on militia
camp equipments, for the Massachusetts
Legislature. In that capacity they visited
the camp of the Ransom Guards, and ad-
mitted freely that Capt. Ncwton's gun
racks and other comforts AMI conyeniences
of the company quarters were touch above
anything of the kind they had seen else
where.
At the business meeting of the veterans,
on motion of Col Aldacc +. Walker, it was
voted to instruct the officers in charge OF the
next reunion to enlist and organize the
soldiers by counties as heretofore, but al
low them to go into camp by regiments.
This is an important change; and will add
much to the success and pleasure of future
reunions.
Among the letters received by the officers
OF the Soldiers Reunion Society, was the
following:

JACKSON, Miss, May 2.-While people
at the East look upon the war in Europe
as certain to stimulate revival OF bust
ness, and the farmers at the West an
ticipate higher figures for their produce
than they have obtained since the crisis
of 1873 started prices on q down-hill
road, nearly all classes in the South
look upon the prospect With ~ u seflo1 Us
them that blows good to the food
producers Of the North, for they are
heavy food consumers. They do not
raise as much as they require to eat,
and they draw every year upon the
Northern States for millions OF dollars
worth of grain and provisions. Every
railway train from Cincinnati, Louis
vile, Chicago and st. Louis that starts
for the South and every steamer. that
,descends the Mississippi come laden
with supplies for consumption in the
cotton States and the Louisiana sugar
region. Wheat, flour, pork, bacon,
lard, butter, cheese, all forms OF manu-
featured food products, such as hominy,
crackers and farina, and oats, hay and
bran to feed to stock come southwark
in steady stream along all the avenues
of transportation. An increase in the
cost Of these necessaries OF life Is an
evil to the South too evident not to be
quickly and keenly appreciated. The
newspapers are discussing the subject
with great earnestness, and 1t is the first
thing preached iE conversation.
The trouble is that the misfortune Of
high prices Of food is not likely to be
compensated for by rise in the value
of cotton. Factors and cotton brokers
are a good deal puzzled about the pro-
babe effect Of the war on the Southern
staple, but none Of them anticipate an
advance in Its value. Turkey is heavy
consumer Of cheap cotton goods, and
the disturbances in industry and trade
sure to follow Immediately upon the
outbreak Of hostilities In that country
will lessen the demand. and to that
extent depress the English market for
the raw material Russia is also a large
purchaser of English cottons, but as the
war is not likely to be prosecuted on
her soil, it will probably produce no in

contingencies can be thought OF as
probable results from the war that
would make q more active market for
cotton, except the very remote one OF an
