New Orleans Cor. New York World
The cotton receipts are falling of
in comparison with those of the same
time last year, and the prevailing
opinion now is that the crop will be
about 100000 bales, distributed
among the states as follows Florida,
10000 bales Georgia, 100000; Ala
bama. 725,000; Mississippi, $4,000;
Louisiana, COG, 1000; Texas, 100000
South Carolina, $4,000; tennessee,
225, COO; Arkansas, $4,000; Virginia,
Missouri. Illinois, ETC., 5O,OC0. This
cotton will probably average to the
producer and middle men, in round
numbers, about S275, 900, coo. OF this
vast sum, about 500, 1000, 900 will be
put to the credit of our exchange
account with foreign countries. Add
to this the crops of tobacco, rice,
sugar and naval stores, raised princi-
pally in the same states, and many
millions more can be reckoned ON the
credit side of our ledger. All this in
spite of the exodus.

P%INCHBACK'S A
Violent Assault ON an Editor by
the Ex-Lfeutenant
Governor.

NEW ORLEANS, February 23.-Ex-
Governor Pinchback, who has recently
made some very unfortunate ventures
in politics, one especially in failing to
get Lewis out of the naval Office of the
custOmhouse and himself in. has not
been in the most amiable state Of
mind since his return home. This
morning, while George j. Ruby, the
editor Of the New Orleans Observer,
was standing at the postofice, talking
with Thomas Ong, a clerk in that
department, his late and unfortunate
excellency came up. AS soon as he
perceived Ruby, he grasped his heavy
walking cane and sprang forward,
dealing at the same time a terri
BILE blow, evidently SEM with all
his strength and aiming it directly at
the editors head. Ruby, who is a
small man and rather delicate in ap-
pearance, being without any other
means Of defense, raised his arm and
caught the blow, and so saved him
self from being laid out upon the
floor. Pinchback was getting ready
to follow up his vantage and deal an
other aud still more murderous stroke,
double. handed like the first, when
Ong interfered and prevented him
after some difficulty. The cause Of
the trouble, ! understand, was the re-
publication by the Observer of an
article from the WASHINGTON Star, in
which it was stated that tue president
was opposed to PiOchback for the
reason, it is said, that he is the owner
of three high. tonednegro faro banksin
New 0fleaus. Pinchback organ, the
New Orleans Louisianian, replied to
this in the toughest language allowed
in journalism, and some ugly epithet'
were freely coupled with Ruby
name. This not having the desired
effect of utterly subduing his antago
mist, the stick had to be taken as thu
last resort to accomplish this end.

Camp RunlOrs.

There we're two men in a Mississippi
regiment, commanded by Colonel
Stith, Of Baltimore. One of these
men contended that the scriptures
were of divine origin, and the other
said they were of human invention,
and asked his opponent, in one Of the
arguments which they were coutinu-
ally having, if he believed the story
of Jonah aud the whale, TO which
the other replied. yes DO yol
also believe that the three Hebrew,
passed through the fiery furnace will
out feeling the heat?" persisted the
in6del. "Yes." came the answer
again. do you believe" came sharp
ly, that Sampson slew all Of those
thousands of Phillistines with the
jawbone of an ass?" 1t was just after
the battle of Shiloh. and the believer
in the inspiration of the bible had just
had some tough experience in the
difficulty Of fighting four or FIVE to
one, well" he answered hesita-
tingly to the last home thrust, IL
always regarded that story as a mere
camp rumOr."
