A ELL has been introduced in the
national congress to Perpetuate the
rank of general in the army for the
benefit of Gen. Sheridan who will
succeed the noted old barn burDer
next year. Phil Sheridan doubtless
has admirers, in fact nearly every
man Of any prominence has, but it
strikes MS that he has been hoDored
too much already, Sheridan is one
of those who became accidentally
great by the fortunes Of war. The
same could be said by the present
generalof the army as well as Of him
for whom this rank was created. If
the time ever comes when people cal
read history calmly and thoughtfulty
and make up their conclusions with,
out prejudice, these accidentally great
men will find their proper level.

The cotton crop of 1882 WAS much
better than expected. i think the cot
ton crop of Grand Chenier is between
$50 and 500 bales. The corn crop
WAS very poor ct account of the drOuth

was remarkably good; not less than

marine accidents that has ever oc-
CURED. The vessel belonged to the
Hamburg American Company1s line,
and piled between Hamburg and New
York. She left the latter port on
Thursday last, with nearly 400 pas
sengers and q crew of over 100. When
off the Island of Borkhum, in dense
fog, she came in collision with the
British steamship Sultan aud received
such serious injuries that it was ap-
parent she mist aink almost imme-
diately. The boats we're soon got in
readiness to be lowered, but much diff
ficulty WAS experienced, the vessel
having csreened badly. The first news
Of the collision was received from a
boat.load of passengers Whe arrived at
CuxhaVst. A number of steamers
we're immediately dispatched to the
aid of the passengers and crew, but
seem to have accomplished very little.
The cable dispatches, which are meces

passengers and crew, spS0O. Nost of
the passengers were emigrantE from
East Prussia. Among them were six
American Indians, WAC had been on
exhibition for some time at Berlin.
Whether the disaster was the result
Of accident or rcarelessness is not
known. The captain of the Sultan
has made statement, which seems to
shnw considerable careIessness and
lack of discipline en- the part of the
officers and crew Of the tCimbria, but
nothing has been heard from the sur
yiving officers of the lost steamer.
