COLUMBUS, May Ex-Governor Foster re-
mained in his Office most all last night to
be in readiness to order further troops to
the Silver Creek coal mines, in Wayne
county, il it was thought desirable. To-
day the Governor received a telegram
from ittorney-General Nash and Assist.
ant Adjutant- General Smith, who are at
the scene Of the trouble, saying all was
quiet to-day, and the indications
were that no serious trouble need be
apprehended. While arrangements have
been made to have number OF militia
sent at once TO Wayne county in case they
are needed, ,Eit is thought the two COM
panies on duty at the mines will be suffi.
cient to prevent riot or bloodshed.
A telegram received here tonight from
the Wayne county coal mines, says all Is
quiet, and the Wooster military company
has been ordered home.

ColonelJ. w. Forney, in Progress.
Governors Island is now the Mecca
of the faithful, and the daily scribe
details their visits as the average
homage Of the crowds that wait upon
a royal person. General Hancock is
in fact holding his republican court
in advance of his election. 1t is in
terestiug to study the various people
that come here daily. The first
thing noticeable is the presence of re-
publicans, especially republican SOL
diers. They are moved by an impulse
common to thousands of others, but
Hancock embodies the sentiment that
grows in them with every year. "My
love for the men / fought with in de-
fense of my country" said one of
them to me yesterday, is different
from the friendship of my playmates
or schOolmates, or of the confidence
born of intimacy in business. That
wears out with time, but the seeds
planted in the army, nurtured in the
blood of battle, and growing in love
in the life of the march and the trials
of the camp produce devotion that
never weakens, but increases with
years and is sancti6ed by a deathless
memory Here come also the older
and ripper minds of the great city
General Hancock has been fortunate
10 securing the friendship, as we have
seen, Of his own immediate chiefs and
by his quiet dignity and regular habits
of administration, the regard of mer.
chants like Henry Hilton, the success
sor of a. 7. Stewart, and that exact
old millionaire, Peter Cooper. Men
like these, with the directors of nub.
lie opinion in newspapers, social
leaders, bankers, and railroad mag.
mates, gather to his levees, and now
that the department has relieved him
Of special work. and even dispensed
with his services at the military trial
of General Warren, he is at leisure
to attend to the new duties resultinp
from his nomination for president.

in the valleys, said to possess very
grassy fields, though, in the main,
sheer laziness is the cause thereof A
few report having over cropped them
selves, and for lack Of labor, which is
scarce and in great demand at all
points, have been compelled to aban-
don portion of their planted fields.
This, however, is avery small percent
age OF the crop, Among the valley
plantations labor is worth from 75c to
Sl.5O per day, and there is no excuse
anywhere for idleness. We hear of
planters who are anxious to induce
the world to believe that the cotton
yield will be shorter than that of last
year, that labor is disturbed, and that
the picking capacity of the country
was fully tested last season, so that it
will be impossible for this years out
turn to exceed that of the past sea-
son. This latter may be so, but it is
now generally conceded that
there will be good demand
for every bale Of cotton this country
can produce, even should it exceed
100000 Of bales. The report of the
condition OF cotton telegraphed by the
agricultural bureau from Washington
yesterday, says there are reports of too
much rain in parts of Mississippi,
Louisiana and Arkansas, also of
drouth in North and South Carolina,
but that the average condition of the
total crop is 100. Insect injuries have
not been reported to any serious ex-
tent. For the several sections the

have permanently injured this branch
of our business. This is not wholly
without compensation, for some con-
tinental goods which formerly found
their way to the east, will now be
shut off from the enhanced prices of
these productions. The effect on Ian.
cashire will apparently be to give man
utacturlng some advantage as COM
pared with spinning, which it greatly
needs, tor the bushes of making
cloth has been ruinously bad the last
twelve months, more particularly so
at the time when yarn was paying
best. Indeed those two branches of
the market have been quite divorced
from each other of late, and it is time
they should be brought into legiti-
mate relation to one another.
The most powerful influence against
the market, and one which acts with
increasing force, is the low price at
which the new crop deliveries have
been selling for some time past. The
price of December has been 50sd
beneath the price on the spot. This
is powerful deterrent to active bust
ness; it compels the trade to use up
their stocks, and keeps them out of
the market with irresistible compul-
sion; it also keeps down the price of
goods in Manchester to the level of
these low prices. We cannot expect
any real activity in Liverpool while
this anomaly exists, and certain
sense Of insecurity hangs over the
market, while near cotton is SO much
dearer than distant. The situation.
therefore, is somewhat artificial. The
market is suspended between two
forces which about balance each
Other-viz., the strong demand for
contracts and the apprehended scar
city Of clean cotton and the low prices
and liberal offerings of distant deliv-
cry. At the moment there is little
to indicate which way the tide will
turn, and we rather look for a contin-
uance of the quiet times we have had
lately.

ScUTAN, July 16.-The Albanian

by circuitous route to fall on the
rear Of the Montenegrin position,
near Galoubusche. At 2 o'clock
Monday morning they surprised
picket of sixteen Moutenegrins, only
six of whom escaped, and they were
badly wounded. A simultaneous at
tack was made on the Montenegrin
front. The seventy clansmen returned
to camp with the heads of thirteen
Montenegrins, and about twenty rifles
and ammunition cases. A mountain
eer Just arrived reports renewal of
the attack at Blementi, near Divasi.

The committee has telegraphed to a
powerful Debra tribe for five thou
sand men. The league is undergoing
important development, and the com
mittee at Prizerend has summoned a
great council Of the Albanians to meet
there and concert measures for the
future. The Turkish government
here continues to support the leaguers,
and Hodobeg, Albanian commander
In chief, continues to receive pay as a

The Cotton Market.

From Smith, Edwards & Co.'s CLiverpooD
Circular, July /.
The Manchester market during the
past month has been quiet, but by no
means stagnant. In the earlier part
Of the month large and general busi-
ness was done done in cloth staples
more especially for the east; stocks
were pretty well cleared out, and sew
eral makers were put we'll under or.
der. The prices at which the busi-
ness was done were low and quite un-
remunerative, still they did not show
so heavy loss when compared with
the price Of yarn, as was the case
earlier in the year. During the past
fortnight there has not been the same
activity in Manchester, but prices of
goods are we'll maintained, and eastern
staples have hardened little from the
lowest point. Thecourse ofyarn, how.
ever, has been different; all through the
month it has shown weakness, and the
large sales Of cloth did not induce
corresponding demand for it; manu-
facturers seem to have acted on the
belief that yarn would be cheaper
and have held off as much as possible;
they have suffered very severely from
their foolish speculative purchases
early in the year, and this has caused
a great degree of caution. The great
falling oifin the continental demand
for yarn has also injured that branch
Of the market. The quantity shipped
this year for the continent is nearly q
hall less than last year, and it has NOT
been up by corresponding in.

VIM. III. Carroll, Esq, for Gov
RrnOP /

To the Editor fthe Morristown Gazette
How would VIM. H. Carroll, of
Memphis, do for governor? | am for
him, without knowing or caring
whether he desires the honor of being
our next standard bearer or not. At
home, among his people of the west,
he is esteemed and loved, and his in.
Huence has been and is to-day un-
bounded. He has the mental and
physical strength of young manhood,
and although not distinguished as a
"showy" speaker, he ranks as one of
the ablest and most successful mem
bers of the Memphis bar-as famous
as it is for learned lawyers and bril-
liant orators. United with his own
worth and personal influence he pos.
sesses the advantages of distinguished
and extensive family influence. Like
Hancock, his name is historic. He
is noble scion of illustrious sires-a
ut representative Of his honored
grandfather, Governor Carroll, and
his no less distinguished son, Gen.
VIM. Carroll. AS his ancestors were
worthy of honor in their day, so is the
son equally beloved now. He never
asked Tor an Office in his life, though
he has ever been an active and eff
cient worker for the success of the
democratic party. He is a firm and
decided state credit man and believes
in preserving her honor and good
name. If he should receive the nom
ination of his party next August. he
will be triumphantly elected in Mo-
vember, and do not hesitate to affirm
that he will conduct the affairs of the
state in such a manner as to win for
him the plaudits of the people as one
of the best governors Tennessee ever
had. w. J.S
Grundy county, Tenn, July8, 1880.
We cordially endorse what w. j.
5. says complimentary to Mr.. Carroll.
His nomination would suit us; as
would the nomination of any other
good man with as pronounced views
on the great state question at issue. -
