Our friends i'll Virginia appear to have had quite a time of it recently, the difficulty excitement arising out of the raising Of Lincoln and Hamln pole and flag by certain Republicans residing at Occoquan, Prince William county, Virginia. At first we really supposed, without thinking much about it, that Occoquan away in the Western part of Virginia. On the Pennsylvania Ohio line, where there we're few negroes, but the map shows us that Prince William county lies the Potomac River, be- low Mount Vernon, and that Occoquan is situated at the junction Of the Occoquan River with the Potomac. Prince W iams the county south Of Fairfax, and the real Capital of Fairfax county is Alexandria, although the seat of government is Fairfax Court House. In this Virginia county, within sight of the broad Potomac and almost within hearing of Mount Vernon, VT find an association of sixty Black Republicans OF different coors white, black aud yellow, organized hosting Lincoln pole, and threatening to defend it, and the flag it beaIs aIoft, in spite of public opinion ard in despite Of the danger which such subject the public peace. The pole cut dOwn--s0 far so good, but really that amounts to little nothing inasmuch the en- missaries who raised it, and who sustain Southern soil the principles of which it the emblem, still there and threaten to raise another in place Of that which has dem oshed 1t is not the presence of the pole itsel-i is the differences be drawn from it that alarming.

| The imports for this quarter are claimed to be nearly double in value those for the corresponding quarter of 1868. Savannah has made greater strides in the cotton trade than in any other branch | of business. For instance, the receipts to the close of January, 1870, amounted to 334, S54 bales, against 231, 94l to the corresponding period in 1869, and 146,- 543 in 1867 This shows a wonderful increase in the receipts of cotton at Sa- vannah, having more than doubled in -four years. The exports of cotton to the close of January, 1870, amounted TO 272, 907 bales, against III, 612 to the corresponding period last year. This shows an increase of 95, 295 bales The greatest increase has been to foreign ports, which show a gain of about l20 per cent. This indicates very healthy growth of the foreign commerce of Sa- yannah. There is no question that in the cotton trade Savannah is outstripping every other port in the South, and is now second only to New Orleans. If the in crease in the next four years shall be as great as in the past four, Savannah will stand the first cotton port in the South. There are those who confidently believe that this result will be achieved The NeVs institutes with cOmmendable pride, a comparison of the receipts of cotton at Savannah with those at other ports, and its figures will be interesting to the business men and cotton planters of Ten nesseee and North Alabama, where the UNION AND AMERICAN circulates so large w. The NetCs says: "The receipts of cotton at Mobile in 1870, up TO latest dates, were 1913, 800 bales; to the same date last year 148, 1873, showing an increase of 40, 457 bales. "The receipts at Charleston in 1870 were 15S, 245 bales; TO the same date last year, llS, 4+2 bales, showing an increase of 80, 500 bales.

FRUIT IN TENNESSEE. Bristol (Tenn.) Neacs, says: The fruit crop, this season, in every por- ton of the country, seems to be unparallel- ed. In this neighborhood the peach trees are generally broken down with the weight of the fruit upon them, and wagon loads are daily being sold in our streets at prices that barely pay for the hauling Of them.

To give faint idea of the corruption and extravaganza which is now going on in our governmental affairs, we give the following extract from recent letter OF Mack to the Enquirer: "No later than last evening l was con- versing with gentleman who was, for three years, Gen.

The Gelic Society OF New York has scheme on foot for the establishment of chairs of the Gaelic language in the various colleges of this country. Bishop Keane. the rector of the new Catholic University. was applied TO several weeks ago for his opinion upon the establishment OF such q chair there, and also asking for information as to the cost OF endowing professorships in the other colleges of the United States. He replied that The University would be only too glad to establish such a chair should the endowment be forth coming" other colleges communi- Gated with. the University OF Pennsyl- vania and Yale in particular were heartily in fap>r of the scheme. The cost OF such an endowment would be from $780, 900 to 500. 600 per college. but many oi the institutions written 20 waived the question Of i'm mediate endowment and offered TO es- tsblish the chair we're s.. 600 year guaranteed for its maintenance.

Permit us to bear our attribute of respect and affection to the memory of William B. Brinsmade whose death was mentioned in yeur last issue. Having been associated with him as schoolmate for two or three terms, beloved by all. he won our lifelong conf- dence and esteem. Born with an innate love of music, we recollect his first appearance in singing school under the leadership of that noted teacher Ralph G. Camp. Such was his proficiency that during his first term, the school was given into his hands to conduct for half an hour, and more correct time, or judi cous selection of tunes, we have rarely wit messed in older leaders. The musical public and our choir have lost valued member, and though his voice is hushed on earth, may we not hope that the harp with it's shattered strings will be strung and'tuned anew at the resurrection of the just. The funeral was attended at the Congrega- tional church, Wednesday afternoon, a very large audience from this and the neighboring towns were present, also a large delegation from the Connecticut River Railroad Co.,, with whom Mir. Brinsmade was formerly associated, bringing with them their sympathy with the family, and the most beautiful floral offering that were ever seen in thls place. MT. Thrall, assisted by Rev. MT. Mclean, of Litchheld, conducted the funeral services. The grave was lined and strewn with flowers, and he sleeps with those of the Brinsmade family who have gone before.
