WashIntoN, Jan. 10.—The Senators,
arm in arm, catne to the House. Wade took
the chairj Colfax seated, near him. Seuator
Cbnkling and Representatives Wilton, of
Iowa, and Pniycr, were the acting tellers.
Prayer read the Democratic votes; Conk-

election held. The joint session separated.
The House voted 12u to* 63,to bount Louis

draw in extraneous matters, "voted" to count
Louisiana..
The Houses'ag iiu met, and proceeded
with the count until Georgia was reached,
when Butler objected, because the Georgia
College had not voted uu the pioper day,
and for other reasons. Much confusion en
sued, which Wade ended, by ordering the
Senate to its own chamber.
The House tiierf w’jted 150 to 41 that
Georgia be not counted The Seriate, after
a most perplexing and laughable struggle,
declared tbatin the face cf the concurrent

Ruder objected. Wade would hear no ob
jection. Butler appealed from Wade’s de
cision. Wade would allow no appeal, and
ordered the count to proceed.
. Butler moved that the Senate have per
mission to retire. Decided not in order.
Butler insisted they should control their
own hall. Alhidst most intense excitement
Wade ordered the count to proceed. Conk-

tion of cotton* called the Peeler cotton, from
the name of the gentlemen who first intro
duced it to the public, had been offered in
this market,and that from its superior length;
strength and fineness of -staple, it was com
manding far higher prices than were given
for the best Mississippi Bend cottons. ’ it is
pronounced to bo, in fact, decidedly supe
rior to any cotton mown in this county ex

ter illustrated than by stating that it fetches
in this market from 31 to 36 cents per pound,
or say 40 to 50 per cent above the value of
fcther cottons. . We would not have thought
it necessary to have made further mention of
this new description of cotton, but for the
feeling which we have that Soathern grown
cottons should not only maintain tiieir former
and present ascendancy in thegrent manu
facturing districts of the worid, but that this
ydrqntitge be not lost. For this reason wc
trust that our plantera will give much atten

dced n-difficuit juaftor for.' our oTI farmers,

new order of things; to throw aside those
old habits in which they have grown, gray-

them in their distress ; "and Fy way"of relief
to their ".died feelings, wouM sbggest that
they turn over their farming interest to
their sons. Youth can adapt itself to cir-
cumstances better than old age.
Here and hereabouts,- farmers have
buckled on their armor for the coming fray
between themselves and mother earth,
aud earth’s numerous progeny. Freed-
men—those of them that are pleasantly lo
cated, and have kind and gentlemanly em
ployers or tupe'kttctulads (overseers have,
Ly common consent, been tabooed on plan
tations)—have commenced the.year’s work
in earnest, and so far have exhibited a
commendable disposition , tq make some

for themselves.’
