COTTON AND GRAIN.

There is serious and unaccOuntable
warfare, in this country, between these
two great products, which has been car
ried on for many years, and has resulted
in untold injury to the agricultural inter-
est, and through that to the whole coun-
try, and is felt in every branch of busi-
ness. Instead of this warfare there should
exist the most perfect relations Of amity
and comfy, and by united alliance should
produce good results and brin. peace,
prosperity and plenty to the whole coun-
try.
At the recent meeting of the National
Cotton Planters Association in Memphis,
there We're some very interesting and
suggestive statements made by some of
the speakers, which suggestions bear upon
this subject, and present it in the forcible
manner of practical demonstration, figures
and facts which cannot he controverted.
Mr.. +. G. MOrhcad, president of the as
ISOLATION, presented IN estimate of the
amount Of grain consumed in the cotton
growing States in excess Of production.
This consumption was divided az follows:
Wheat, bushels. ............... 42,252, PA
Corn, g ............... 166, 6e4, go
Oats, ................. 77,762, 1O9
Total bushels of grain. .2sG, G95, ISL
Tons OF Hay. ................. 4,Oll l5O
Estimating these four articles of wheat,
corn, oats and hay, at their present mar
ket price, without the cost of transporta.
ton, they reach the incredible amount Of
$2oG, 1863, 400. Tho question naturally
arises: Where does the money come
from to pay this immense amount!. There
is but ono source from which it can come.
It must be paid out of the cotton crop Of
the South, as those States produce very
little else for sale. Let the cash balance
DO cast and see how the account will stand.
If it be allowed that the cotton of last
year reaches G,4OO, 900 bales, and these at
the average price of $50 per bale, We have
the total amount (all0wing it all to be
met rccipts) Of 1920, OOO,O 900. From this
then deduct the amount paid, out fol
grain, and we have the small and insig.
niticant balance on hand Of $34, OOO, 600, t.
be distributed among the cotton States
while they pay tribute of three hundred
and twenty million dollars to the grail,
raising States of the NOr}h and West. III
the language of president Morehead, sucl
q deficiency of grain, and such an unequal
balance sheet, means "n0thing but thu
direst poverty so long as it exists"
! This is an important question, ani
these figures are weighty arguments, ant
should command the most earnest c0nsid

Warden Chamberlain severed his official
connection with the State prison at Concord,
Sunday, his resignation having been rendered
about six weeks ago. In his parting address,
Mr.. Chamberlain reviewed his ten years ser
vices at Concord, in which it appears that of
the 563 persons now inmates Of the prison,
only % were in it when Mr.. Chamberlain
came, and 81 per cent. of all persons com
mitted have never been heard from in prisons
again.

officials. The Gar was accompanied on the
road by two other trains besides his own.
On small stations in the middle of the steppe
he passed from one train to the other, from
one car to the other, ''flving like a bird" one
of our agents wrote Ii he stopped in some
town by the way, he always sent on his open
carriage with his coachman, his dog, and his
second self "a certain General Annenkoff
who resembled the late Gar in a most strik-
ing way), while he himself took unostenta-
tiously seat in one of the following car
riages, by the side of one of his generals.
Thus it happened at kharkotf. for instance,
that the troops rendered military honors to-
and the crowd cheered the carriage in which
but the dog and the cook OF the Car were
seated. On each side of the track soldiers
and police officers are posted at hundred
yards distance from one another. with the
order of arresting anybody who should try to
approach nearer than 700 feet TO the rails.
At night the whole line is lighted up with
torches and burning woodpiies. Two hours
before the passage of the Imperial train the
engineers of the road inspect themselves
the track and examine with their own
hands all the switches. In conclusion
let me give YOU in as few words as possible
sketch of the character and social position of
some of my comrades in the Moscow affair.
They are all Intelligent, well-educated peo-
pie. all former pupils of some university or
technical high school. None of them is older
than thirty, nor younger than twenty one.
Among us there was the daughter of minis
ter of State and Senator, belonging to the
highest and most refined circles of st. Peters
burg aristocracy-this was Mile. P,trovsky.
There are sons of landed propretors, of
merchants. distinguished chemists and cleo
tricians whose names have become celebrated
in science. There are government employees
who while ostensibly serving the Car are
secretly working at his destruction. Lastly,
there is your humble servant, a lawyer,
teacher telegraph operator, chemist, shoe
maker, book keeper of a bank. and so on,
and all of us and many thousands of our
friends strewn all over Russia, passonately,
ardent'y desire to kill the Gar. Had we
succeeded in doing so we should have been
as happy and triumphant as we were on the
18th of March of this year. What became of
our own life during and after the attempt was
a matter of very small moment for us indeed.
None of us even thought of the risk he in
Cured. We had seen more than forty gal
lows erected for our friends, and personally
had witnessed the execution of five of my
best triends.-Lee Hartmann in the Nen
York Herald.

A Missing Railroad.

When Cheyenne was in the zenith Of its
glory, sign OF General Offices of the
Cheyenne, Pacific Slope, and Sandwich
Islands Railroad" was hung out without Gre
ating the least surprise. If one person asked
another where the depot of said road was,
there might have been some hesitation about
answering it, but it was some time after the
sign was out before any special inquiries be-
gan to be made. Then an Eastern man
walked in one day, carpet-bag in hand, and
said:
" suppose you connect at San Francisco
with the regular steamers
"Well, yes; suppose we shall,' was the
hesitating reply.
'' Shall? Isn't your road through YETI"
"Well, not quite

.'Salt Lake? Yes, think we do

"Well, can't say exactly, as we havn't

sisted the stranger.

''Well, you see it's only on paper thus far,
but as soon as we sell So, ,000. 900 worth OF

ness right along. If you happen to be going
along when we get to going, we will put you

The stranger stuck his hands in his pockets
stared hard, whistled softly, and then walked
out on tip-toe without another word.

Tortured to Death.
The Terrible FATE OF YOUNG PuGn IN THE
HANDS OF THE ArACHEs.

HANDS OF THE APACHEs.
A Las Vegas c correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Enquirer deals with the outragcs commit
ted upon Young Pugh before his death. He
says 81 went to the place where the stage
was stopped, and where young Pugh was
captured There were with me some of the
party who had found the young mans body,
and they took me over the trail that led to the
spot where the murder was committed This
was two miles from the scene of capture.
Every 800 yards or so there were imprints in
the ground of Il mans knees, and the guides
explained that at these intervals the prisoner
had sunk down from exhaustion and to i'm
plore his savage captors to spare his life or
to put him out of misery by killing him. If
he begged for life at first, he pleaded as hard
for death at last, for over the last mile of the
trail was sprinkled n copious stream of blood,
and the sequel showed that the Indians had
committed such outrage upon their prisoner
that man thus mutilated could hope or
wish to live aminute thereafter. The body was
found by the Mexican soldiers on the day sue
ceeping the murder. 1t was swollen to pro-
digious proportions, and an examination re-
vealed the extent of the mutiation perpetrat-
ed by the dastardly towards. 1t was while
| suffering from such barbarOus torture that the
demons, his captors, had forced him to walk
over mile. When he could no longer drag
himself along, the bratal Apaches filed his
body with bullets and left him When The
Mexican soldiers found the corpse they dug
hole with their bayonets, the only tools they
had, and buried the remains as best they
could.
The Indians who committed this outrage
were supposed to be good Indians, and were
out of their own bailiwick on special leave
from the government to hunt. They seem to
have taken it for granted that they were IL
censed to hunt human beings and to murder
in cold blood all they found unprotected. A
couple of weeks prior to the murder of young
Pugh the same gang captured party Of emf
grants, among whom were six women. The
monsters tortured the women to death. The
United States government might make mis-
| take of one or two Indians if it were to exter-
inmate the whole Apache nation, but it is
thought by some very humane people that it
| is time that the government should vary its
mistakes by making the one proposed.

The Attack Upon the Gar Near
Moscow,

On the 10th [of November, 1879, 0. S.
there came despatch from our agent at
Simpheropol telling US that the Gar had left
Moscow. He constantly changes trains. cars
and routes. The published plan ofhis journey
is false. Three imperial trains, exactly sim
liar are sent off in various directions This
was wha. our agent telegraphed us. But in
order to give the reader an idea of the
difficulties we had to conquer, must sketch
in few words the manner Of travelling
adopted by the Gar, such as our various
agents described it. First of all, as | have
already mentioned, two routes were drawn
out by the ministry of the imperial court-a
false one published in the papers, and true
one held in the profoundest secrecy. New
ertheless the latter was well known to US.
The newspapers were forbidden to publish
anything about the Cars journey beyond
what appeared in the Official Messenger.
While the Gar was passing through tele-
graph district, the operators in that district
were forbidden to toward any private mes
sages whatever. During the passage of the
Cars train the stations were cleared
of all persons not belonging to the railway
