the lower right jaw at the very
point wherebe had received bullet wound
several years previous at the battle

made a few weeks later, but without succ So.
Since then Gen. Bolton has felt pain and Cd.
preston il his neck, especially during damp
weather. Yesterday he had occasion TO stoop
while attending n customer in his store. and
was immediately taken with violent fit of
coughing. Placing his hand instinctively
over his mouth, something dropped into his
hand, On removing the blood and mucous
covering from the object, he found it TO be
the painful little ball of confederate cast iron.
1t was covered with rust, weighing 273
grains troy, and tho surface was covered with
sharp ridges.

The Louisville Courier Journal, comment.
ing upon the tendency Of grain to 60 down
the Mississippi river, says:
Eastern observers console Themselves with
the reflection that ocean rates from New Or
leans are much higher than from New
York. This is true, but as the business in
creasts the difference will decrease.
This movement suggests two thoughts,
which the people, especially Of tho west aud
south, should consider. The frat is that
many of the perplexilies of the transporta-
tion problem will disappear Of themselves if
do NOT interfere with the operations of the
laws of trade by legislative cnactmen,s.
Distrust always seeks legislative remedies
for business difficulties. Self-inte'.
est works much good oven for
the general public. The law Of competition
which ia secured by an open river ia far more
potent than Jaw enacted by thirty-eight
legislatures, ard will, before long, force
prices of transportation down 10 poiut
lower than is now dreamed OF by the most
confident believer in the wisdom of the
average legislator. The second thought is
that by building up at New Orleans large
grain port the southern states will find it
more profitable to diversity lneir products
ard give to grain much of tho land which
now year after year Raises only cotton. This
is greatly to be desired Oh all accounts.
Grain is profitable, ard with loss land de-
voted to cotton the value of that crop would
be greatly enhanced. This ia one OF the
results which is likely TO flow from the new
movement ofgrsin to the gulf.

erect comfortable dwellings, improve farms
and In this way add to our general prosperity
