BRUNSWICK, TENN, October 14.-More
cover wanted these nights. Weather fine
and very favorable to cotton picking.
1t seems to US that cotton should bring
better prices this season than is being real
lied. The lint is larger, unstained, free from
dirt and but little trash. A really better ar
ticle than has been produced for several
years.
A late decision of the County Court in the
Murray. Stewart contested election case is
highly satisfactory to our people. Justice
Stewart has our warmest wishes, and may he
figure long and conspicuously as an emil
nently efficient officer.
In the country adjacent to Brunswick are
five large steam gins; these with the numer-
Gus horse-gins are turning out bales OF the
Aeecy staple at lively rate.
Owing to the large amount OF cotton COM
ing in this week our merchants are wearing
smiling faces, and many a neart is made
lighter at seeing long account shortened.
Tonight Brunswick will have shipped
eight car-loads-145 bales--of cotton this
week. This swells our number TO $40 bales
this season.

The situation i'm Ex,p,.

In an article upon the situation in Egypt the
Belgian Bien Public expresses opinions which
will be received with more satisfaction in
England than on the Continent, and which
are in fact somewhat remarkable from the
fact that they are uttered by a Roman
Catholic journal. "The protectorate exer-
cised by England" says the Bien Public,
will be a benefit TO Egypt, it has been
under analogous conditions 10 many other
nations. 1t will also mark a new stage in
the gradual penetration of Mussulman bar
barism by Christian civilization. England
seems to be called in the designs of Provi-
denoe to play in the modern world part
analogous to that which fell to the Roman
empire. 1t is the first power in the world.
Its colonies are numerous and prosperous.
1t has preserved its manly and Christian
traditions. 1t has well-defned policy and
follows it perseveringly in spite OF the
change OF ministries resulting from the fuc-
tustioH of parties. England is
taking the place of other European nations
which seemed also TO have a civilizing
mission TO fulfill, but which, turning their
back upon the Cross, driving God out
of their institutions, their laws, their man
ners, are themselves returning to barbarism.
The English nation has remained relatively
the most faithful to Christian tradition"
