THE VALUE OF COTTON TIEs.--Some o.
the Northern papers are quoting the remark
made by Mr.. CrapO, of Massachusetts,, in
Congress some years ago, relative to cotton
ties. Some Southern member objected to
their price, when Mr.. Crapo is said to have
sprung up and crushed him by declaring
that the Southern farmers had no right to
complain, as they sold the ties as cotton at
four times what they paid for them.
This idea that the planter really sells the
iron ties at 10 cents or so pound IS very
current. The Atlanta Constitution shows
again, as has been frequently shown before,
that the idea is an erroneous one.
The price of cotton is fixed at Liverpool.
It may occasionally vary in this country
from the Liverpool rate, but that is the STAN
dard, if there is any. The rule governing
cotton in the Liverpool Exchange explains
the matter of the iron ties at once, and is as
follows:
"The gross loading weight is taken before
the cotton is mended or sampled, then two
pounds per bale draught is deducted, then
the weight of bands, the number being
counted and small number weighed, SO as
to get at the weights OF the total number,
and after that the tare of four pounds per
hundred weight-the result being the net
weight-and if this net weight is less than
the guaranteed weight, or per cent. below
the gross American shipping, then claim
for the deficiency is made"
In this it will be seen the weight of the
cotton ties is eliminated from every transac-
tion, throwing the cost exclusively on the
cotton producer. He not only does not get
10 cents pound, or the price of cotton for
them, but he gets nothing at all.
The English rate is based on the cotton it.
self, free from all eXtraneous matter. The
American price is dependent on the English
one, with reduction allowed for the weight
of the ties; so that if there were no bands,
if the cotton were shipped loose to England,
its price would be trife higher. In the
American estimate, it is true no mention is
made of this; but the ties are none the less
taken into consideration and allow ed for in
the fixing of prices.-Ne'o Orleans Tines

A PROTEST FROM THE GRAVE.

At the reunion, in NeOga, Illinois OF Gen.
Grants old regiment, the Twenty-first 1lli-
nois Volunteers, Col. Fred Grant was given
q very hearty reception. In response TO
requests for speech he said:
81 do not intend to make you speech,
for have not been trained as public talk
er. I have here document that would
like to read you. It is the last line writ
ten by my father upon matters pertaining
to the war and has never before been MADE
public. AS he entered the war win you
for his first companions, and ne always
spoke of your regiment with attectlonate
interest, it is fitting that you should be the
first he hear his parting words. Ihls IS
what he wrote upon the pages l hold mere:
"'I feel that we are on the eve OF new
era, when there is to be great harmony be-
between the Federals and the Confederates
cannot stay to be a living witness to the
correctness of this prophecy, but l feel 1t
within me that it is to be So. The unusual
ly kind feeling expressed for me when 1t
was supposed that each day would prove
nv last, seems to me the beginning OF the
answer to "Let US have Peace" The e&-
pressions of these kindly feelings were
not restricted to any section of country nor
to any division of people. They came from
individual citizens of all nationalities, from
all denominations Protestant, Catholic
and the Jew, and from the various socie-
ties of the land-scientific, educational, re-
ligious or otherwise. Politics did not en-
ter into the matter at all. am not egotist
enough to suppose all this significance
should be given to this matter because L
was the object of it; but the war between
the States was a very bloody and very costly
war. One side or the other had to yield
principles they deemed dearer than life be-
fore it could be brought to an end. 1 COM
manded the whole of the mighty host en-
gagged on the victorious side; | was no mat
ter whether deservedly so or not, repre-
sentative of that side of the controversy. 1t
is significant and gratifying fact that
the Confederates should have Joined hearth
ly in this spontaneous move. hope the
good feeling inaugurated may continue to
the end'"
A general amen went up from the veter-
ans and the meeting adjourned.

Rg~ Brigham Young understood how to
to have him replace leg that had been re-
moved. Brigham said to him, 81 can do
this, and it would not cost me any trouble :;
but if 1 should bring back your leg you
would, on the morning of the resurrection,
have three legs-the first leg, the one that
you lost, and the one that l would make
for you. Had you not better 60 on with one
leg for little while, than to 60 through
eternity with three legs?"

A Momnn,s Reply to Llbertas.

BKLKNAP, TEX May IL, 1850
To the Editor of the Gazette;
/ am one of the many Christian wo-
men insulted by Liberals In his etiu-
sion of April 10, under the head OF
"Iibertas Revived" Although can
not be present in the convention at
Dallas, my heart is there, and pro-
nose TO discuss right here some of the
questions Libertas says will not be dis
cusstd in that place, | would not
deem his article worthy Of notice,
were there not many persons no wiser
than Iibertas, who seem liable 10 DE
led astray by his sophistry..
First. God did Introduce prohl-
hilton into the Garden Ct Eden, and
it was the breaking Of this prohibito,,
nv law that brought so much woe and
misery into the world. What. right, i
aek. had Libertas to arraign the Al
mighty becauee he did not destroy the
tree AS we'll ask why He has per-
mitted the many thousand Ills OF TINS
world. But that is not pertinent 10
the question, Has Libertas ever seen
or known OF any alcohol in any OF It's
forms or mixtures generated by the
hand Of the Almighty? Is not It's
manufacture due solely to the agency
| ~ man? Libertas will answer,
Sf,hrist made wine,n but can Libertass
nrove that Christ made fermented
wine2 He cannot; neither can he
nrove that fermented wine was drunk
at the last supper of our Lord. The
,yord wine ia not used at all in that
nomneciion. Christ said the cup,
and the "fruit OF the vine'
instead. Libertas wishes us 10
think that he Is scholar
vsrsed In ancient lore, but he has neg
lscted To tell us that there are large
number of Hebrew words pertaining
