The reputation of Mississippi has, therefore,
cost US in Virginia the independence OF the

Gen. Mcclellan was inaugurated Cover
nor of New Jersey, at Trenton, on the 10th
inst, in the presence of about 10000 persons.
In the course of his inaugural he said: trust,
gentlemen, that you will agree with me in

that no selfish interest of individuals, as mis-
taken policy of party, shall be allowed to re-
vive subject which honor and interest alike
require to be buried for ever among the dead
issues of the irrevocable past. .

President Hayes has recently written a
letter to colored man in Florida, on the
subject of the emigration movement, in which
he says: ~ have given some consideration to
your question as to the emigration of colored
people from Florida to San Domingo. | am
not we'll informed as to the advantages offered
by San Domingo to emigrants, but my i'm
preston is that your people should not be
hasty In deciding to leave this country. The
mere difference in climate is very serious
objection to removal. The first generation
in all such removals suffer greatly. 1t is my
opinion also, that the evils which now affect
YOU are likely, steadily, and I hope rapidly,
to diminish. My advice is therefore against
the proposed emigration.
In reply to the enquiry Of bank cashier,
who asks, whether or not, under the resump.
ton act as passed by Congress, the National
banks are prohibited from issuing notes below
the denomination of five dollars, the New
York Journal of Commerce says: The limita'
tion is not in the resumption act but in the
original banking act, passed nealy fourteen
wears since. It reads "not more than one.
sixth part of tie notes furnished to any asso'
citation shall be of less denomination than
five dollars. After specie payments are re-
sumed, no association shall be furnished with
notes of less denomination than five dol
lars" This does not prohibit the banks from
using such small notes as they have received.
Estimates by the New York Cotton Ex-
change, based on returns from the different
States, place the cotton crop this season at A.
100000 bales The growing season has been
remarkably favorable over the entire cotton
growing district of the country. A killing
frost did not occur until the 18th of Novem-
ber, and for the balance of the month and all
December, planters took advantage of the
unusually fine weather. Last year killing
frost occurred on the Sd of October, and the
crop amounted to 4,485,O00 bales. The esti-
mate this year is based on the fact, that the
growing season is thirty-nine days longer than
last year. Liberal allowances are made for
the storms, etc., and it is believed that the
estimate is rather under than over.
