DESCRIPTION AND DOWNFALL OF THB REPUBL1-
CAN PARTY.-On a subject so interesting, we
will not yapor, but reason submitting TO the
Judgment Of the candid whether there is solid
ity in what we have TO offer.


The success and ascendancy of parties being
a question Of numbers, we will begin by sta
tistical basis. We may assume that the men
who adhered to the Democratic party through
the obloquy of the last Presidential election
will not easily be shaken in their political con-
yictions We may also safely take it for
granted that the Republican party will find
no favor in the South. BY adding to the popu-
lar vote for Mcclellan the whole voting popu-
lation of the South, we shall get the real
strength of the present opposition, to the
Republican party. comparison OF this with
the vote for Lincoln will show on which side
lies the preponderance: As eleven States did
not participate in the election, we shall use, IN
this estimate, their vote in opposition to Lin
coin in 1860, leaving out South Carolina, whose
Presidential electors were chosen by her Legis-
lature:

great Central Fair Meeting at that place. There

on the grounds selected for the purpose, about
half mile east from Roanoke. The location is

II is enough 10 say that the Society will hold a

propose, if the other papers will do likewise, to
publish the list for The first exhibition FREE OF
CHARGE. If this is not done, the premiums, to-
gether with the Constitution and bylaws and

New ORLEANS, Sept. 18th, 1866.


DEAR SIR: We beg to inform you that
we have for the current year secured q
Press to ourselves, for the storage OF
cotton, which will be exclusively under
the control Of Clerk IN our own Office,
of which our friends will have the bcnc-
fit in the safer storage and better care Ia
ken of their cotton.


Last season, the complaint was gener-
ally OF short weights, which is account
ed for partially from the bad MANNER in
which most of the Cotton came to mar
ket, much OF the staple laid so long in
warehouses and on Plantations that the
bagging and rope rotted, and with the
rough handling on steamboats,, loading
ana dlsclarging, great deal was wasted
and Its condition offered inducements to
levee thieves and deck hands who made
1t regular business to help themselves
as literally as possible.


We know Of instances in which deck
hands carried empty sacks from the city.
ana brought them back full, for which
they found ready market with class of
thieves with whom they were in collu-
sion.


We urge upon our friends, this season,
the propricty Of forwarding their con
slgnments in such condition as to afford
no excuse for bills of lading to be sign
ed, with exceptions" and in bad order.


When Bills Of Lading are signed in
TINS manner, though unknown to the
planter, whose plantation the Cotton may
have left in good order it is impossible
lor the factor to make rcclamations I'm.
less the bill Of ladirg is p clear one


Factors are, in many instances, blamed
for short weights, when nine out of ten
OF them have never seen a bale of the
consignment except rs much as reaches
the sample room


when the Bill of Lading is clear, the
cotton must be delivered so, or rsclama.
tlon IS to be made. If delivered in good
order, the press receipts for it in good
order, and when the cotton is sold, there
should only be such loss in weight as the
samples taken by the consignee and the
Broker amount to-





we urge upon our friends to see that
they get clear bills of lading, and if Dos.
sible to send us the weights of their con
sgnment at the same time.


Factors are sometimes blamed for the
merchant who ships cotton with cxccp-
tons in the bill Of lading, and with the
carrier who permits loose cotton to be
plucled from the bales In most instan-
ces where complaints are made of short
weights, the bill of lading is not clear
one.


A Commission is now about proceed
ing to Washington for the purpose of en-
deavoring to alter the regulations with
regard to collecting the internal revenue
on cotton, which will meet with success,
as the present programme is iniquitous,
injurious and unworthy of free govern
ment, and prejudcial to the interests Of
the planter and the merchant and the
country at large.

THE DUTY OF YOUNG MEN IN THE SOUTH.
The Southeastern, journal published at
Shreveport, La, in the course of an article
upon the wants of the South, urges the
young men of that section to devote their at
tention to agriculture, and thus take the pla-
ces of the thousands of freedmen who have
left the Southern States or been killed du-
ring the war. 1t urges them to prepare du-
ring the coming winter for the putting in of
crops in the spring upon the rich but idle
acres of the South. Says the Southeastern :!
1--WE have too many stout young men in the
South, shameless burdens on the Drawn and
muscle of better men than themselves
worthless young men, who ride the laborer
as the old man of the sea fastened himself on
the back of Sinbad the sailor. 1t is time
that they were shaken off and compelled to
sweat for themselves"


We heartily endorse the above sentiments.
The South is not the place, nor is this the
time for idlers. All must work. The drones
must leave the hives or become workers.
These " stout young men must take off their
coats, and seize the plough handles. or the
hoe; or they must enter the workshops of
the land, and tit themselves for first class
mechanics. They must recollect that life
of idleness is life of unhappiness and that
the busy man alone enjoys true pleasure.
The life of none is so truly joyous as that of
the farmer Try it, young men, and if you
shall find, when age has silvercd your hair,
that we have given you bad advice, we will
hold our self personally responsible for all
damage, which you may be enabled to show
that you have sustained.-Nea06ern Journal
