Among the facts presented In the Senate
argument on the bill to restrict immigra-
ton was one showing the growth OF lun-
acy among foreigners and the fact that
one-half of the inmates of our lunatie asy-
lums are foreign born. The lunate nopu-
Iation of New York grows at the rate OF
700 n year and all of the states In this vi
einity are providing new quarters fer lu-
natics. This is only one undesirable fea-
ture OF unrestricted immigration bat );
is n hurdensonme feature and dangerous
item in ordinary life.

The year 1901-o2 was unfavorable to
the production of cotton owing TO the
disastrous drought In Texas and the
southwest and TO excessive rains In
the south Atlantic states In spite of
adverse conditions. however. the crop
amounted TO 10. 7US. 1875 bales. This
yenr has been more favorable. with "A
phenomenally mild fall and the alb,
sence of killing frost. The last picking
season was all that could be desired.
The early conditions We're not good,
however, and the crop is now estimat-
ed at IL 600. 900 bales.

As is usually the case. the New
York gambling house proprietors whose
places were raided the other night
were tipped In time to enable them
to hide their gambling implements and
drive out customers. Whatever the
play may be. 1t is quite evident that
running a gambling house in New
York is not game OF chance.

were in the same grand division of the
army from Nashville to Chickamauga, he
in the First, and / in the Third Division.
Our routes ran together first at COlum-
bus, Ky, in Fort Halleck, on the hill.
where | was recruit, going TO Go. +,
51st i'll, and he Il cOnvalescent returning
to his regiment from the hospital at Keo-
kuk, Iowa. In The National Tribune OF
Sept. 10 last COmrade Widney speaks
of reporting TO Maj. Raymond at Column
bus, and in parenthesis says "a Regular" !"
He is mistaken in this, as Maj S. Il.
Raymond was an officer of the 5fst H.,
and | served under him about eight
months, from Murfrecsboro till after the
battle Of Chickamauga, and never heard
that he was Regular, and am quite sure
he was not.
In speaking of leaving Columbus, Oct
,, 1862, on the steamboat City of Alton,
he says: AT sunset we watched the
frowning bluffs of Columbus disappearing
from our view as we proceeded up the
river to Cairo. Three hours after leaving
Columbus we arrived at Cairo" | left
Columbus on the City OF Alton, and my
diary for Oct. ., 1862, says: I'VE got
orders at 8 o'clock last night.
and at q. m. this morning got on BOARD
the City of Alton, and at a. M started
for Cairo, where we arrived at 0 D. M,

with nothing 10 do. we rightly judged that
battle was in progress on our left. and
mOmcptarily expected to be attacked our
selves or to make an attack. The Con-
fcdcratc infantry in front Of us remained
quiet. but the artillery on both sides was
briSkly engaged. \ battery in front of lis
threw solid shot over our heads and en-
dangcrcd the hospitals in our rear One
shot came skimming down our side OF the
hill. and struck a pile of fence rails on
which were seated half a dozen Colorcd
cooks. For moment the air was full Of
rails and flying darkics and the next the
valley was full of running darkics
Strange to say, not one was seriously

mated ut 6.0nO, and ours about onc-third
of this number.
Five divisions only Of the Army of the

engaged, sustained the full attack by the
Confederate army and defeated it with
heavy loss. Yet there was no lack Of
