- :• X.--, RPJSIQKT. Now Subscription and Advertising Bale*. To llie now subscription and advertising rates or this journal, published at the head of Its fourth page, wo Invito attention, and especially Hint of merchants and other advertisers In tills and other cities, who have favored, or may de sire'td favor It with advertising patronage. It will bo seen flora these ‘'now rates" that tiro l’wirniETOB of tdn Daily IsTELUOENCBn has reduced tho terras both of subscription and ad vertising. This he has done after mature delib eration, Impressed with the conviction that It will encourage a more general city advertising in, and lusure a larger circulation of this paper. The “rates” heretofore prescribed were adopted at a time when tho expenses incident to, and at tendant upon, the publication of a Journal in this city, such as material, rent, the cost of living, labor, and so forth*, were much higher than they arc now, or than thoy promlso to bo In the fu ture. Henco tho reduction whloh the Propme- tor now makes lit the rates of subscription and advertising, which, as before stated, may bo seen at the head of tho fourth pago and every other day’s editiou of this paper until changed. In offering tho Daily Intki.i.ioenckr to sub scribers at tho rato of $1 per month, or $10 for twelvemonths, its PnoPHtRTOR feels that lie is placing it at as low a rale, ns a journal of Its di mensions and location can be published without the entailment of loss upon Its publisher; and so in regard to Its " rates" of advertising. Those, reduced to the tlgures they now are, It Is hoped are low enough to cucouragc a more general city advertising. It is upon this presumption, tho Proprietor of this Journal acts, in reducing the “ rates” of advertising—and ho docs so con fident in ttic belief Hint the merchants of this city will generously respond by advertisements in these columns of their wares and merchandise. It is not saying too much when wo affirm that the Intkm.iokncer affords all the advantages which advertisers ipay require If a paper pub lished in Atlanta, and as such it is offered to the public. It was llie remark of one of the most successful merchants in America to a friend— 1 “show me,” said he, "your city press, and I will loll you how your city nnd merchants are progressing.” We venture that'that sagacious individual would have linked well.’ firnt and laat at tim ijatcrfiVnff columns of the paper Hint might have been handed to hint, ere his judg ment would have been pronounced. The two editions of this paper now published, the Morning and Afternoon’s edition, afford sit- perior advantages to advertisers, than have pre vailed here since the termination of the war, os their advertisements will appear in botli editions. Advertisements for the afternoon's edition should be handed in by main of cadi day. Sensation In Commercial Circles. The latest on dit in commercial circles is tlic rather pleasing intelligence that heavily freight ed trains will henceforth run direct through from huuisvillo to this point without change. Tills ar rangement 1ms been resorted to in order Hint the transmission of goods coming tills way may be facilitated. We learn that entire trains, engines, train-hands and all—will come direct through; and we hope it may operate to the ndvantago of tins commercial community, nnd cnnblo it to re cover from the heavy losses It bos sustained from the long complained of detention of freights.— We arc indebted to a friend for the following private dispatch, from which it will be seen that "Hirough bills of lading” are made out from Louisville to Atlanta, and os there is no trans shipment at any )>oint, delays cannot |x>ssibly arise from Hint cause. We give the dispatch in order Hint interested parties may see that this “ through arrangement ” ot trains is a fixed fact: Louisville, March 15, 1800. Road is now receiving freights. Through blll9 of lading nro made out to Atlanta without change of curs. Guthrie Co. Commercial Item* this Morning. There is it large supply of Oats, liny and Flour on the market. Flour has undergone no change, while there lias been a slight decline in the arti cle of Oats, which mny be purchased by the quantity at from 80 to 00 cents per bushel. The receipts of Corn continue to bo' large, yet they are scarcely equal to tho demnnd. A good arti cle of prime White .from stores, by the quantity, will readily command $1 '40 per bushel. At the depot, upon arrival, by tho car-lond, it tuny be purchased at $1 uS per bushel, sacks included. Yellow or mixed, by tho qunntity, $1 80 per bushel. The market is liberally supplied with a good article of Kentucky Timothy Hay, aud other choice kinds, which sells at $50 per ton.

A long one—"; '“gained." iho Next Cotton Crop-l’resent Price*, &c, Tho steady decline lit tlto cotton market tho past lew months, lias alarmed rnuny holders, who iuvcHlcd In tim "staple" at advanced prices, mid hns Induced an anxiety to sell nt present rate, in anticipation of a still ffirther decline and conse quent heavy losses. It Is the prevalent Impres sion throughout tho country, that this downward tendency will continue; until an approximation to bid prices la renohed, though no one can ud- vaucc,nuy solid or substantial reason in support of this opinion. 'Flint It is not sustained by foots or figures is potent to any one who will bring ordinary Intelligence to tho Investigation of the subject, ns I will now proceod to demonstrate. Six months previous to the Collapse of the Confederacy a committee was appointed by the Confederate Congress, for the purpose of ascer taining ns nearly as practicable, the number of bales of cotton east of the Mississippi. That committee was composed of intelligent gentle" men representing the different Stntcs of tho Con federacy, and had every facility necessary to en able them to arrive at a correct estimate. Ac cording to their report, ns submitted to Cougrcss, there were at that time 875,000 bales in tliosu States. Shortly afterwords Sherman’s army commenced its march through Gcorgln nnd the Carolinas, and as the Confederate army retired before bis advancing columns they destroyed property of all descriptions, tlmt could possibly bo of valuo to tho enemy, nnd the little that es caped their wrath was given to tho flnmes by the order of Shcruum nnd bis subordinates—by means of regular details for that purpose—who were assisted by straggling incendiaries from the main army, who hovered on tho flanks and in the wake of ids line of mnreh. As the theatre of war shiftedNorthwnrd, the cotton Stales were abandoned to Ihn mercy of the Federal army— every nook nnd comer of the country was per meated by cavalry raids, composed of men whoso malignant vindictiveness increased with the wan ing fortunes of the Confederacy, and who de lighted in the destruction of our property. It would be n moderate estimate to state the num ber of bales destroyed by Sbcrafan’s army, and their cavalry raids, nt 150,000, lenving on Imm! 725.000 bales at the time of the surrender of Johnston's army. Two-thirds of this has been thrown upon the market, hundreds of thousands of pounds of it is now in the bunds of consumers in lids country, while folly 150,000 bales have been shipped to Europe. Nine-tenths of the cot ton South is now in the warehouses of.our prin cipal cities—a bale of tbo “staple" being at this time a rare sight la the interior. It is thought by Intelligent men who have inquired into the matter Hint 200,000 bales wilt cover the number now In the South tliut will be thrown iqion the market, under uny circumstances. IVlint is the prospect for a good cotton crop the present year? Tbo question is readily an swered by recurring to fiicts nnd figures again. Previous to the war 4,000,000 bales were consid ered a good yield, the highest number overreach ed being 4,000,000. Tlmt year the seasons were remarkably favorable, and ilio crop was extraor dinarily large. I, therefore, take tho first num ber as a basis upon which to fonko my estimate. According to a recent report made by General Howard, chief Hie Frcedmen'sjBurcau, anil who is doubtless well posted on the " nigger ques tion,” 1,100,000 able bodied negroes died during and since the war. Fact No. 1. Nine out of every ten negroes now on terra firtna, and heretofore engaged In the nnltivntion of cotton, will not strike a single blow iu n cot ton field this year. Thousands ol them are hud dled around the cities nnd villages throughout the country, and nro bent ou “ enforcing their freedom." Fact No. 2. Tho South lost 800,000 abled bodied white men by disease nnd the casualties of war. Fact No. 3. Thousands of miles of fencing have been de stroyed, and many of our most vnluablo forms are without enclosures—cotton gins and presses have been swept from cxistenco as if by tbo be som of destruction—horses, mules, jacks and Jennetts, have been stolen, Impressed, conscript ed, and claimed by the " horse-details," sent out by little petty post commandants—who consider it high treason for a " d—m reconstructed rcb" to plough the skeleton with n U. 8. branded up on its shoulders, Hint was cither left to die in the road, or “swapped” for a better one—until tho people have been left in such a condition that they find it difficult to cultivate enough soil to supply the demand for biend. They cannot even full back upon “ tbo ox reserve,” us tlmt element of strength was “ absorbed" by tbo rebellion. Several focts In a heap. It Is a fact with which tbo most Ignorant nro acquainted, tbut nine out of every ten bales of cotton produced prior to the wnr, were made by slave labor. Taking 4,000,000 bales as an aver age, and the number of bales produced by sluve labor as stated as correct, wo have 400,000 ns the product ol white labor, before that bad lieeu re duced by the casualties of war, Ac. Granting fact No. 2—tlmt nine out of every ten bales made prior to the war wore produced by slave labor, nnd that nine out of ten negroes heretofore en gaged In tbo cultivation of cotton will not strike a single blow In a cotton field Hits year, we have 400.000 bales ns the maximum number tlmt cun be grown tbo present year, under nny combina tion of circumstances. This would give us 800,- 000 tbe present year. But there are still further deductions to be made. Tbo 800,000 dead sol diers of tho Confederate army would have raised, at the lowest estimate, 75,000 bales. Subtract this front tho 800,000, and wo have 725,000 ns u u remainder. All of us acquainted with thu ne gro—Ills natural disposition to Idleness, Ills re- pugnauce to hoeing cotton? and the uncertainty of that class of lalxtr uudor the present system- will reqdily ageee tlmt tho result of the labor of any given number of them will not reach within a "rcspcctnblo approximation" to what it would have been under tbe old regime, ami I do not think I do injustice to that class of our popula tion when I pro|K>so to deduct 100,000 front tbe 400,000, which tboso now engaged In agricultu ral pursuits could uml would produce under a dif ferent order of things. Allow this and wo have 035.000 bales as tbe next cotton crop. You, Mr. Editor, may consider Hits an undcfcstlraato, but 1 feel confident tlmt events will demonstrate tbe correctness of tbe estimate. I sincerely wish that I may provo mistaken. To what, then, is tbe present decline in cotton attributable 7 Clearly to this one fltet—tbo Ig norance of the Northern people—yes, of tho world—as to the exhausted and Impoverished condition of the South after her long, heroic and disastrous struggle; to their ignorance of the worthlessness of negro labor under present cir cumstances, and tbo alarming scarcity of tho most common noccisarios of lifts throughout our section. You must not infer that selfish motives prompt tbe Inditing of this article. I only desire to pre vent tboeo of our peoplo fortunnto enough to bo “cotton owoera," from bocomlug alarmed, uml hunylng whet little they have u|»on the market this time.

It is known tlmt sixteen thousand cartridge-boxes nutl knapsacks were bought at nuotion last week, Irani a well-known house in Park Place, and quantities of arms ami ammunition are being negotiated for from day to day, by officers detailed tor tlmt purpose, it is probable that Col.
