Fair Play.
We inform the Barbour Correspondent “Fair
Piny,” in the last Enquirer, that the item re
specting the Town of Chester, l’a., has not yet
faced us. We think Fair Play must be in a
hopeless minority in his vicinity, taking as ev
idence the effect the innocent relation of the
political complexion of the Itidgway family,
•eems to have had upon his mind.
Is it a fact about Chester ?
Wo are much gratified to find the Sun has
acquired sufficient importance to elicit an oc
casional notice from the Enquirer and its cor
respondents.

The Central Texan states that in conse
quence of the shortness of the cotton crop in
that section, the planters are sending their
hands to the Houston Rail lload for the pur
pose of finding employment.
The Waco Statesman says the cotton in that
vicinity is good and a fair yield is anticipated.
The Newnan Blade says when a man be

Can’t Work for Ten Cents & Day.
We see from the papers that some of the
Fillmore people are carrying about at their
public meetings banners with the aforesaid
words inscribed upon them. We advise them
to take that banner down ; they are working
for a good deal less llinn that.— Corner Slone.
The General is mistaken. In every county
there is a smart sprinkling of Court House
spoils which generally fall to the local victors;
and for which politicians take the chances.
The Newnan Blade says a Fillmore friend
requests us to state that there is a perfect
stampede among the Democrats in Paulding
county. He says they ure going over to Fill
more by t lie dozen. We comply with his re
quest, but it is just possible he struck a strong
Fillmore section of the county.
Wonder if the Enquirer’s “ Fair Play” had
heard of this spot before he addressed the
Sun.
Prolific Cotton.
The Selma (Ala.) Sentinel thus describes a
■talk of a variety lately exhibited:
“ This stalk contained over one hundred full
grown bolls, and quite a number of squares
and small bolls, and judging from its appear
ance, it would have yielded at least two pounds
of the best quality of seed cotton. It was
what is termed the ‘Boyd Cotton,’ ami was
grown on the plantation of Mr. Dillard, near
this city. We should think cotton planters
would find it quite profitable to plant this
kiml of cotton altogether. Mr. Dillard in
formed us lie had übout eighty acres planted
of this cotton, and that almost every stalk in
the field would yield equal to the one shown
us. Wc should think Mr. Dillard would do a
great favor to the cotton planters generally,
by saving his seed and placing a few of them
in market this winter.”
Properties of Cutta Perch*.
In some experiments made recently at tho
United States Naval Laboratory, upon gutta
percha vestments, very interesting and valua
ble facts were adduced in regard to the char
acteristics of that material. For instance,
pea-jackets, made of gutta percha fabric, were
baled in tho same manner as the cloth cloth
ing for the navy, under a pressure of thirty
tons. They were then placed over a steam
boiler in tho yard, and remained for sixteen
days, subject to an average temperature of
190°, at times as high as 212°. On examina
tion, the garments were found in tho same
state ns when packed. There was no adhesion
of the folds, nor any decomposition of the
guttapercha. One jacket was dipped in wa
ter, rolled up, and sewed in the corners, but
not pressed, and subjected to the same heat
for three consecutive days; on being examin
ed, it was found in a state wholly free from
injury.— Chas. Courier.
Whore the “Aid” has Gone.
At a big Kansas meeting in Albany, a short
time since, several thousand dollars were sub
scribed for the “relief” of the starving peo
ple of Kansas. Gerritt Smith gave $3,000;
Edward C. Delevan gavo $1,900; and others
gave smaller sums. The money has been ac
counted for by tho committee appointed to
disburse as follows: The printers, (N. V.
Tribune, Times, &c.,) got $315. Raid clerk
hire. $lB6. For an agent $232; total com
mittee account, $683. l’aid for relief of R.
Buffiun and family in Kansas $25; to com
mittees for “relief” purposes, $100; total
for relief, $450. Paid for Sharpe's rifles,
$643; for passage of armed emigrants, $677 ;
to Chicago committee for civil war SI4OO.
Loaned to Gen. Schuyler $250; to 0. Robin
son, “governor,” $500; making a total of
three thousand, five hundred and ten dollars,
devoted to civil war ; while only four hundred
and twenty-five dollars wore devoted to relief!

The Mobile Affair.
Tho New York News says that Mr. Strick
land, ofthe firm ofStrickiand & Upson, book
sellers at Mobile, who was expelled from there
for keeping and selling incendiary publica
tions, acknowledges now that their conduct
was at least exceedingly indiscreet. Strick
land admits that he gave away not less than
fifty copies of Uncle Tom's Cabin ; sold mis
chievous works of Fred. Douglass, and kept
others on hand ol'a similar inciting charac
ter, and often sold novels calculated to offend
• sensitive population. From their own state
ment of efforts made calculated to incite the

all they received.

The Cotton Trade.
LiveufooC, Aug. 26.—The cotton trade, its
condition at, the present moment, and its fu
ture prospects, call for the serious attention,
not only of those engaged in tho trade, but
every individual interested in the properity of
this country. We say so advisedly, for all
will admit the magnitude of the trade itself,
and the wide-spread influence that it exercises
not only at home, but in our commercial re
lations with the whole world. The increase in
it has been so rapid that it is within tlie recol
lection of many when the annual consumption
of the raw material was a mere trifle, nay, if
we will only look back to the year 1841, we
find the consumption to have been only about
one-half of what if is now. We may, there
fore, be excused if we place before our read
ers a few statistics of the present stock and
probable supply to meet the growing con
sumption. All we desire is to render a plain
indisputable statement, so that all may know
as clear as figures can show, what are the
prospects of the trade. Statistics are sought
after eagerly—sought after, and strange to
say, ridiculed—and stranger still, followed in
spite of the ridicule—laughed at in public,
yet in private checked over most carefully,
and secretly acted upon, sneered at for the
pure love of contradiction, yet quietly guided
and influenced by the solid truth that there
is no better guide at band.
In the first place we find by the general
brokers’ Price Current of 22d August, the
stock in Liverpool was 735,700 bales; but it
is generally admitted that at least 40,000 bales
have been forwarded from the quay direct into
the country, and not included in the brokers’
returns made weekly, we shall therefore de
duct this amount, and of course add it to our
estimate of consumption. For the import to
the close of the year we shall estimate the
quantity at sea, 40,000 bales ; to ship by Ist
September of old crop, 30,000 bales ; and of
the new crop to arrive prior to 31st of Decem
ber, 180,000 bales ; making a total of 250,000
bales of American to receive to 31st Decem
ber. And for other descriptions we shall
take it at tlie same as last year, which will
approximate near enough for our purpose.—
Say :
Total stock 22d August 735,700
Import, American 25<),000
“ other kinds 231,000
Total 1,217,000
As to consumption and export we find
that adding, as we before stated, 40,000 bales
to the brokers’estimate, tlie total outgoings
for the first thirty-four weeks of the year
reach 1,668,500 bales, and in tlie same pro
portion for the remaining eighteen weeks of
the year will take 830,380 bales, reducing the
stock on the 81st December, 1856, to 886,620
bales, against 428,810 bales on the 31st De
cember, 1855.
Now, the question arises, are we correct in
surmising that the trade will require for the
rest of the year in proportion with the past.
We believe that we are rather below than
above the mark, for new machinery is being
weekly set in motion, and the trade in Man
chester is so profitable at the present time,
there can be little doubt the consumption now
going forward is as great as at any time in
the history of the trade. To justify us also
in this estimate, wo may state, what is admitted
on all hands, that spinners hold very small
stocks at the mills, and that, therefore, their
supplies must be drawn from this market.—
We have thus far confined ourattention to the
supply aud demand for this year out—we will
now look forward to theyear 1857 ; and, first,
let us ask as to the probability of tlie amount
required for our consumption. We have peace
with all the world ; we have the world as our
customers; and if wc are favored with a fa
vorable gathering in our harvest, we shall have
n well-fed, busy population at home to clothe.
The number of new mills now building is,
perhaps, larger than ever known—so much
so, that there is an estimate very generally
made that t hose new mills will require as much
as 4,000 bales of cotton per week.
This, added to our present large consump
tion, will swell tlie requirements of the trade
of this country to at least 45,000 bales per
week. Surely we may ask, where is the sup
ply to come from? Can we expect another
crop in the United States of 3,500,000? We
shall require 3,700,000, and even that will
leave us with a smaller stock at tlie end of
1857 than at the close of this year. We may
turn to India, and ask for a supply from
t hence. Brazil is giving us less rather than an
increase. Egypt may furnish us with a few
hags more, but it is to the United States alone
that we can look for any hope of supply.—
Truly, consumption has outstripped produc
tion, and machinery is constructed faster than
the raw material can be produced to keep it
in motion. No wonder the trade are so anx
ious to hear of favorable reports of the cotton
crop, for they well know the effect of bad
weather, insects, bad picking season, or an
early frost, all of which the crop is endanger
ed by. The trade require an enormous quan
tity to keep prices moderate, and it remains to
be seen whether their requirements will be
supplied. We have seen that the large crop
of this year has failed to maintain the staple
on a par with last year. What will be the
result of any accident to the growing crop?
Franklin’s Son.
Tho inauguration of the Franklin statue, at
Boston, has been the occasion, says the Phila
delphia Ledger, lor reviving incidents con
nected with life of the philosopher. His on
ly son, William, was Governor of New Jersey
at the time ofthe declaration of independ
ence, aud did what he could to prevent the le
gislative Assembly of New Jersey from sanc
tioning the proceedings of the General Con
gress of Philadelphia, These efforts, how
ever, did but little to stay the tide of popular
sentiment in favor of resistance to tyranny,
and soon involved him in difficulty, lie was
deposed from office by the whigs to give place
to William Livingston, aud sent a prisoner to
Connecticut, where he remained about two
years in East Windsor, in the house of Cap
tain Ebenezer Grant, near where tlie Theolo
gical Seminary now stands. In 1778 he was
exchanged, and soon after went to England.
There he spent the remainder of his life, re
ceiving a pension from the British Govern
ment for the losses he had sustained by his
fidelity. He died in 1813, at the age of 82.
The opposition of the son to tlie cause the fa
ther espoused, produced an estrangement be
tween them, and in Franklin's will, speaking
of It is son, he says: “The part he acted
against me in the late war, which is of public
notoriety, will account for my leaving him no
more of an estate he endeavored to deprive
me of.”
“ Your profess to feel great confidence iu
the election of your candidate,” said a Buch
aneer to a Fremonter, in Wisconsin lately,
“ but you dare not bet on it.” “Yes, I am
ready to bet,” replied the other. “Well, then
name your bet,” returned the former. ‘I will
bet you five hundred dollars that, if Fremont
shall be elected, Kansas will be a Free State,
and five hundred more, that if Buchanan shall
succeed, it will be a “slave state,” rejoined the
Fremonter. The Buchaneer declined both
bets, and disappeared.
Truly a Hard Case.
Obe Stephens, formerly the eccentric rep
resentative in the Assembly from Steuben,
who now keeps a hotel in Hornersville, tells
a very good story at the expense of our Fre
mont friends. Not long since a very good
looking young woman stopped at Obe s house
and called fora room saying that her husband
would call shortly, when she wished him to
be shown up. Soon after, a burly, dandified
“colored pussun” called and inquired for his
wife. Obe told him she could not have stop
ped there, ns there was only one female guest
in tlie house, and she was a very tine looking
white lady.
“ Dat’s her—dat’s her,” said tlie sable dan
dy.
Obe thought there must be some mistake,
so he went to the lady’s room and informed
her that a “cussed nigger” was down below
who claimed to be her husband. She quietly
informed him that the “ coloredgemm n was
in reality her husband, and that she wished
him sent up to her room.
“ The d—1!” exclaimed Obe, with aston
ishment; is it possible that as good looking a
woman as you would marry a nigger ?”
She assured him it was a fact, and added :
“ I married much better than my sister did
after all!”
“You did!” responded Obe ; “ who in thun
der did she marry ?”
“ Why,” replied the lady, with great dis
gust, “she is married to a Fremont man ?”
The ex-representative acknowledged the
corn, and extended to the “mixed pair” the
best the house could afford. — Elmira (X. Y.)

The Marriage Relation.
The great secret is to learn to bear with
each other’s failings ; not to lie blind to them
—that is either an impossibility or a folly; we
must see and feel them; if we do neither,
they are not evils to us, and there is obvious
ly no need of forbearance; hut to throw the
mantle of affection around them, concealing
them from each other’s eyes; to determine
not to let them chill the affections ; to resolve
to cultivate good-tempered forbearance, be
cause it is the only way of mitigating the pre
sent evil, always witli a view to ultimate
amendment. Surely it is not the perfection,
but the imperfection, of human character that
makes the strongest claim in love. All the
world must approve, even enemies must ad
mire, the good and the estimable in human
nature. If husband and wife estimate only
that in each which all must be constrained to
value, what do they more than others? It is
infirmities of character, imperfections of na
ture, that call for the pitying sympathy, tlie
tender compassion that makes each the com
forter, the monitor of tiie other. Forbearance
helps to attain command over themselves.—
Few are the creatures so utterly evil as to
abuse a generous confidence, a calm forbear
ance. Married persons should be pre-emi
nently friends, and fidelity is the great privi
lege of friendship. The forbearance here con
tended for is not a weak and wicked indul
gence of each other’s faults, but such a calm,
tender observance of them as excludes all
harshness and anger, and takes the best and
gentlest methods of pointing them out in the
full confidence of affection.— W/neper lo a

A Majority on the Wrong Side.
Several years ago a celebrated Methodist
minister and revivalist well known for his el
oquence and zeal in converting souls, was
preaching in Louisville. The feeling had got
pretty well up, and one night, after a very
“powerful” sermon, ho came down from the
pulpit, for the purpose of receiving the mourn
ers, while the good old by nil of
“Canaan, oh! Canaan, I'm bouml for tho land of Ca
naan! ”
was struck up and chimed in by hundreds of
voices. Tlie hymn was concluded, but there
were no penitents at the altar. In vain he
exhorted—his words and appeals fell upon
the ears of his congregation without exciting
an emotion. At length he concluded to make
a bold strike and followed it up with a test,
and resuming the pulpit, after a few words of
exhortation, he solemnly’ announced that he
would put a question, upon which he expected
all to vote in wiew of the estimation they
placed upon their souls. With finger raised
most significantly, and in a most solemn man
ner, he announced : “All those in favor of
Christ will please rise to their feet.”
Otdy some eight or ten responded to the an
nouncement; and while the minister was
watching intently for others to signify their
position by “rising,” a worthy member, \\ lio
was on his feet, interfered, and suggested
that “ the reason might be that the true dis
ciples were too modest to vote.”
At this juncture, a loud voice was heard in
the gallery :
“I say, brother , it's no use a talking
or trying to force this vote—this congregation
is for old Nick by at least twenty-five hundred
majority! ”
The Compensation Bill.
There will be a mighty economical spirit
abroad when the present outs come to try and
get iu the places of the congressmen who
voted for the compensation of $6,000 per an
num. Hon. Dan Mace, of Indiana, “faces
tlie music” as follows :
I voted for it, and would do so again, for
the reason, first: I believe it right. Second:
I wanted the money, and have richly earned
every dollar of it, in my opinion. I hope my
vote may be satisfactory to my constituents:
if not, it is only a difference of opinion be
tween me and them, which ! can endure under
tlie circumstances.
Tho Bay Islands Ceased to Bxist.
A correspondent of the New York Herald
at Belize announces the fact that the British
colony of the Bay Islands had virtually ceased
to exist, and that the Mosquito King had been
informed by the officer of ller Britannic Majes
ty’s ship Cossack of the termination of the
English protectorate, and consequently ttie
end of his rule. The writer does not state
what effect the news had on His Majesty.
The Islands would be transferred to the re

A Fremont Joke.
“Fremont ran off with a respectable man’s

chanan ain't married, I can tell you that ho

and has taken good care of her ever since.’ “

The Cincinnati Gazette informs us that the
fire department of that city has now under
consideration anew kind of hose, made at
Grenoble, in France, out of hemp woven so
thickly and tightly as to prevent all escape of
water through the interstices between the
threads. This hemp hose will, it is said, bear
a pressure of 104 lbs to the square inch, and be
far less likely’ to break than rivited leather
hose. It is so light that a man can easily carry
two sections up a ladder, which is double as
much as can be carried of the hose now in
use, and a hose reel will carry four times as
much as ofthe leather hose, yet be cumbered
with only two thirds as much weight. The
cost of this new hose is represented to be one
half that of the leather hose.
Horrible Murder.
We learn from a letter received at this place

The friends of Walker are in pursuit of him,
aud have offered a reward of One Hundred Dol

being 16 or 18 years of age, thin visage, and
has the appearance of being in delicate health.
The murder was committed on the waters
of Holly Creek, nine miles South East of Aiken.

marched from the stand after 8 o’clock service,
to the polls, singing “ Come thou fount of
every blessing,” &c., and deposited their
votes, and returned in due time to attend 11
o'clock preaching. —Houston (Texas) Telegraph,
