COLUMB U 8: I. \KdK.'iT CITY CIRCIIiATIOKi Friday Hornlaf, June 1)1, 185 T. Cotton Hot. We were shown yesterday, by a plan ter, a number of stalks of the cotton plant, somewhat younger than the average of the plant at this time, every stalk of which had either lost, or was losing the tap root from rot. Otherwise the plant gave evi dence of health and v gor. On conversing with planters, we hear similar complaints from many. In some instances tho rays of the sun is killing the plant found in this condition. That which survives with out the tap root, if it bears at all, its fruit will be very limited in amount, diminu tive in size, and inferior in quality—at least such was our experience in cotton culture. New Arrangements. By reference to our advertising col umns, it will be seen that the popular firm of Ruse, Patten & Cos., heretofore doing a warehouse and commission busi nessat the Lowell Warehouse in this city, has been dissolved by mutual consent, and that the Lowell has been tnken by Hughes, Daniel & Cos., of which latter firm Mr. Wesley C. Hodges, of the late firm ol Ruse, Patten & Cos., has become n mem ber. Hughes, Daniel & Cos., now have the Fontaine and Lowell Warehouses, giving them extended facilities for the prosecution of their business. See their adverisvnient. Fatal Acoident. We learn from the Columbiana Chroni cle, that a young man by the name ol Harper, was killed at Finley’s Mills, near llarpersville, in Shelby county, Alabama, u few days siuce, by a stock lug rolling over aud crushing him. He lived but u few minutes after the accident. Worth; and Liberal Act.

Ragan, recently appointed .Paymaster in the Army by the President, was at the Astor House on the Bth, en route to Washington Territory, where he is ordered for duty. Imports of New York. The foreign imports into New York for the month of May amounted only to $294,143 iu excess of tlie corresponding total for lust year, hut wore $7,059,269 larger than the total for May, 1855, and $1,524 074 larger tlmu for May, 1854. only one third of the dutable imports were entered for consumption, the re insinder, (amounting to upwards of ten aud it half millions.) being thrown into wartdiou-e, to take advantage of the re duotion of duties on the Ist of July. The imports of specie have largely increased, owing to the demand for foreign coins to ship to the West Indies and South America. Terrible Tragedy 1 In Texas. From the San An loti to (Texas) papers of the 30th tilt., we have the particulars of a most bloody and sanguinary fight which occurred that morning, between the citizens of that place, and a band ot desperadoes who have iufested San Auto nio and tne country around for some time past. It appears that ou the night pre vious, a most brutal murder was commit ted a few miles from the place, upon tile body of the wife of H. de la Garza, and the house robbed of money and valuables. A reward of five hundred dollars was of feted for the apprehension of the murder ers, and the Stteriff, with a competent po—e, repaired to the place where the iu rdereis had ensconced themselves in a and tt-kened room, when a most desperate co.ifiioi eusued between the Sheriff’s posse, aided hy many other citizens, and the desperadoes. Five persons were kill ed. two ciuzens and three desperadoes, and several severely wouuded. This gang “f desperadoes is thought to number about oue hundred, and serious uppre hensiotts are entertained that there will be further troubles add perhaps much more bloodshe I.

The Meeting Wednesday Sight. A portion of the citizens of Columbus, in response to the call of the Mayor, as sembled at Temperance Hall on Wednes day night to consider the subject of con nection which has been for sometime agitating our people. Mayor Wilkins called the meeting to order, and after a few pertinent remarks, explanatory of its objects, declined to preside; whereupon, on motion of John A. Jones, Dr. K. A. Ware was called to the chair, and Capt. T. Lomax requested to act as secretary. The gentlemen having taken their respec tive posts, on motion, L. T. Downing, W. C. Gray, R. L. Mott, Robert Murdock, and A. K. Ayer, were appointed a com mittee to prepare and present mutter for the consideration of the meeting. The committee retired, aud in a short time re turned and reported the following resolu tions : Resolved, That it is the Sense of this meeting that, at this time, the question of the proposed connection of the Rail Roads converging to this city, presents to its citizens questions of the most vital importance. Therefore, Resolved, That a committee of five be named by the chair for the purpose of conferring with the Executives of the various Ronds as to the ends to be at tained by said proposed connections, and the means and terms of its accomplish ment. Resolved, That when this meeting ad journ, it adjourn to meet again at Tem perance Hall on Wednesday evening, 24th instant, to receive the report of said committee, and to take such action as shall be deemed proper. The resolutions being read, Col. Quin rose to address the meeting in opposition to conneclion, in tlie course of which he read the contract entered into between the city and the Montgomery and West l’oint Rail Road, locating the Opelika Branch Road Depot in this city. He was followed ity W. C. Gray, in favor, and John A. Jones and T. M. Hogan, in op position to connection, when tlie vote was taken on the report of the committee and the resolutions adopted. Mr. John Johnson then offered as an addition to the report of the committee, the following resolution, which, at the suggestion of both friends and opponents of connecti n, was held over to the next meeting, appointed for that nignt two weeks: Resolved. Thai it is the sense of this ineel mg that the Mayor and Council o the City of Columbus lie, and they ar< hereby advised, and it is hereby recoin mended, that said Mayor and Counei grant tho privilege to any and all Rat Road Companies having Roads running, to and front Columbus and its vicinity, ti unite and connect said roads in any tuitii ner they may desire and agree upon provided they i-hnll first pay or providi ior the payment of all the bonds issuei by said Mayor and Council in favor o the Mobile aud Girard, urn: tlie Mont gomery and West Point Rati Hoads, will ibe interest, thereon, giving ample secu rity to protect said Mayor and Counci from any further liability on account o said bonds, said Rail Road Companies being entitled Cos the stock for which sni. bonds wore issued. In pursuance of the resolution requir ing the appointment of the committee ol five to confer with the heads of the sev eral Roads, the chair appointed the com mittee on resolutions. The meeting then adjourned to meet again on Wednesday night, June 24th. We were sorry to see the spirit mani fested in the meeting by the opponents of connection, and hope that hy the next meeting they will have more maturely considered the subject, and will meet the friends of connection in the spirit of can dor and justice, and take such steps as will enable the property holders of the city to speak their will in the matter through the ballot box. If men who have up the stakes decide in favor of con nection at the ballot box, we cannot see how others can, with any plausibility, object. At the next meeting we hope to sec a better turn out. ♦ Alasonlc Reconciliation In N. York For a number of years there has ex isted a feud among the Masonic tratcr nity of New York, in which acrimony and bitterness of feeling was manifested by the members of the rival feuds alto gether contrary to the spirit of Masonry, and foreign to the wishes of the real triends of the order. This feud caused n division of the order into two Grand Lodges, each claiming to be the genuine Grand Lodge, and repudiating the other as spurious and unauthorized, and the members not entitled to the rights and immunities of Masonry—hence all fra ternal intercourse was forbidden between the members of the ditterent Grand Lodges and their respective subordinates. We are pleased to learn that these feuds are about to be reconciled, and that there is at last a prospect of tv union of the antagonistic Masonic bodies iu the State of New York. The Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons, says the New York Herald, under the Grand Mastership ot Mordecai Myers, commenced its annua! session iu the city of New York on Tues day last, uttd lias continued its s ssions daily. Among the subjects of interest that have been discussed and noted upon were the “articles of uuion,” as reported by the committee of conference. After a full and free discussion of them, they were unanimously accepted as the basis of a settlement of the unhappy difficul ties that have existed iu the Masonic fra ternity since 1849. The Grant! Lodge under the Gruttd Mastership of John M. Lewis, jr., has also had the “articles ot umou under consideration, and they were adopted on Thursday. A Balloon Excursion. Three persons, in a b-ttlnon, made a descent in Cumhoilmd street, Brooklyn, New York, Tuursday evening of .a t w. ek. st out 1G o'clock, having wandeted t trough the air front Newark, N. J., which place they left a’ u 7 o'clock. The descent was made w tt perfect safe ty, from an altitude of upwards of six thousand feet. An Hnglish View of Cotton. The following article on “the position and prospects of Cotton,” is from the Liv erpool Journal, published on the morning of the sailing of the Arabia, May 10th.— It contains much statistics of information, and will be found very interesting to those conversant with our great staple: Position and Prospects of Cotton. —In the following statement we propose to exam ine, as minutely as the case admits of, the present position and prospects of cot ton —or, more strictly, of American cot ton, to which our remarks will he chietiy confined—with a view to ascertain wheth er the present range of prices is warrant ed. or u further nuvance demanded, in executing this task, we will be compelled to make rather a liberal use of statistical data, for we propose to advance no opin ion without stating the grounds upon which it rests, and we feel satisfied that those who take the trouble of accompa nying us intelligently through all the de tails of the case, will not hesitate to give their assent to most of the conclusions we arrive at. They will, at all events, allow that the premises are stated as impartial ly, and the inference drawn as fairly as the amount and character of the evidence admits of. We hope that the magnitude of the interests concerned, and the prima ry importance of holding correct views on this most important subject will serve as an apology for obtruding so lengthy a statement upon the notice of the public. In discussing this subject, the amount of the American crop is the first point that demands our attention. The opinions here generally lavor the receipt of 3,000,000 bales ; yet, looking at the extraordinarily rapid fulling off’ in the receipts, which has now reached a point that has hither to preceded, by a very short distance, the total exhaustion of the crop; while, on the other hand, no satisfactory reason can be assigned for the phenomenon, save that of approaching exhaustion, we think it cannot be fairly estimated at more than 2,950,000 bales. This view derives greater weight from a comparison with 1853, the year most analogous to the present as far as early delivery is concerned. Now, for several weeks past, a large addition has been made weekly to the deficiency as com pared with that year, which now amounts to 241,000 bales; and assuming that the receipts for the three succeeding weeks this year are equal to those of last week, (23.400,) the deficiency will then be aug mented to 281,000 bales, giving us a to ■ ml crop of 2,981,000 bales, should the receipts thenceforth be on a parity wi h 1 853, which, however, we have no right io expect. Assuming, then, that the present crop reaches 2,050,000 bales, we have now to joitsider its distribution. We will allow he same amount of stock to remain in lie shipping ports at the close of this ,>ear as at the end ot last season, viz, 64,- iOO bales, as small an estimate as can ately be made, when we consi ter that lie average stock held for the last eight j ears has been 128,000 bales. On this lypotliesis, tHe whole of the crop will be ivailable tor distribution. Ltus in the .irst place direct our attention to the con ouiipiiou of the States, which amounted iiist year to 652,000 bales, and has aver iged for the last five years 626,000. It oas thus tar maintained this year a con siderable excess over the last one, rang ing from 60,000 to 70,0U0 bales up to the beginning of last month; since when the excess has been gradually reduced, till it now stands, according to the New York hist, at 34,000 bales. The total amount laken by the States thus far is 536,000 bales, against 502,000 bales last year. A considerable discrepancy, however, exists between the ollicial list and Wright’s cir cular on this head, arising out of conflict ing estimates of the stock in New York, the figures, according to Wright, being 569,000 bales, against 517,000 bales last year, showing an excess of 52,000 bales. I’lie truth most probably lies between ihese extremes. However that may be, it seems to be generally couceded that.the actual con sumption of the States, this year, is not greater than last; but. as they concluded last season with stocks unusually light, it is probable that they will retain a por tion of their present excess, say 18,000 bales, as au addition to iheir stock, and will, therefore, take of the assumed crop of 2,950,000 bales, 670,000 bales, leaving as disposable for export 2,280,000 bales. Let us see what portion of this Great Britain lias reason to expect. Last year, out of a total export of 2,- 954,000 bales, there cleared for Great Britain 1,921,000 bales, or 65 per cent. — l T p to the present time this year, she has received 1,149,000 bales, out of a total shipment of 1,830,000 bales, against 1,- 416,000 bales last year, out of 2,218,000 bales, being a smaller proportion this sea son to the extent of 1 percent. Now, the elasticity of the consumption on the Con tinent is such, that in all probability its competition for the remainder of the crop will be as keen as it lias hitherto proved —so that Great Britain will not be able to recover the ratio of last year, but must be content with 64 percent, of the export this season, which in round numbers will be 1,460,000, leaving for she continent 820,000 bales, against 1,033,000 bales last year. The disposal, then, of the re mainder of the crop will be us follows : St ok in i orta per .ffliinl list, 29tli April 4320C0 T I tie r ceivnl lo tbe eml of the aettsun, to ’ make up a crop ol 2,060,000 Lulus 216.000 Total supply 648,000 I'.sti mated export to Omit Britain 1,460,000 Actual export to 29th of April 1 1.149,000—311,000 Estimated export to Con ti lent 820 000 Actual do to 29th Apiil.. 6 1 0e0—139,000 Estimated consumption of tales 670.000 Actual do to 29th April 636,000—134,000 584.000 Stock in ports Ist September. 1857 64,000 It will thus be seen, that out of 584,000 bales, available for distribution for the remainder ot the season. Great Britain will receive ol 1,000 bales to complete her complement of 1,460,000. The Con tinent will receive 139,0u0 bales, to make up its share of 820,000 bales; and do mestic spinners will take 134,000 bales to complete their quota of 070.000 bales. A glance at these figures will satisfy every one that we have assigned a very nuipie share ot the remainder of the crop io Great Britain In lact, most parties would be disposed to increase the allow ance to she Continent, at the expense of England. But, as our estimate of the ot op is somewhat smaller than the cur rent opiuion favors, these two conflicting elements, in our calculation, may estab lish an equipoise to their satisfao. u.n. Let us now ex mime what portion ot the 1,460,0u0 bales assigned to Great Brit ain, Liverpool may expect to receive wuiiin the current year: There were im ported into Liverpool, of new cotton, be fore 31st December, 1856, 110,000 bales, which, deducted from 1,460,000 bales, leaves 1,350,000 bales to be received this year. But there has cleared to this date about 30,600 for Glasgow, Hull, Fleet wood and other British ports, while about 12,0(f0 bales shipped for port of call have gone to the continent. Let us assume that the shipments for the season toother British ports amount to 40,000 bales, and from port of call to continent, 20,000 bales, with an allowance of 10,000 bales for lost at sea or burnt, and we have 70,- 000 bales to deduct from the 1,350,000 bales, leaving to be imported into Liver pool this year of the present crop 1,280,- 000 bales ; ot this amount 700,000 bales Were received prior to the Bth of May, (which date we assume for the pivot of our calculations,) leaving to be received from that time to the end of the season 580,000 bales. Os this 280,000 bales were at sea, by the New York List of the 29th April, and 300,000 bales were yet to be shipped. (Our estimated export to Great Britain for remainder of the season was 311,000 bales, but we allow the odd thousand for exports to Glasgow, &c., or via Great Britain to the continent ) We now possess the means of estimating, with tolerable accuracy, the available supply of cotton this year. But here it becomes necessary to take into account the probable receipt of new cotton before the end of the year—or rather the period at which the new cotton will suffice to meet the consumption. Now, the average receipts of new cot ton before the 81st December, for the last five years, has been 150,000 bales. But it has fluctuated between very wide lim its, the amount received in 1853 being only about 70,000 bales, while upwards of 250,000 bales were received in 1855. As it is admitted on all hands that the coming crop promises to be unusually late, the receipts of new cotton cannot fairly be estimated at more than 120,000 to 130,000 bales, say, enough to meet the consumption in the month of December, leaving us dependent on this present crop till that date. It may be objected that a certain amount of new cotton will reach us before the Ist of December. But this does not affect the correctness of our statement, for to the same extent must the consumption be supplemented from old cotton in the month of December.— Our supply of cotton till the Ist of De cember will then be as follows : Stuck of American held at Bth May 361,000 Estimated import, from Bth May to Ist Dec.. 580,000 941,000 It now becomes necessary to estimate the probable consumption of American cotton till the Ist December, which we will attempt to do by analyzing the char acter of the weekly returns since the be ginning of the year; and here we would remark that, the conviction is generally entertained that consumption has sus tained a very material reduction, which opinion appears to be corroborated by a superficial view of existing figures. Thus many parties, looking at the gen eral circular of the Bth instant, in which the weekly delivery of American cotton to this date is set down as 26,246 bales, against 33,072 bales to same date last year, conclude, without, further reflec tion, that consumption is reduced 7,00 u bales per week, which view involves i o less than three ditterent fallacies, so ob vious that they have only to be noticeu to insure their rejection ; first, the coni parison should not be instituted witii the corresponding period of last year, as in it the deliveries to the trade were greatly swelled by their getting into stock, o. which they were extremely bare at the beginning of the year, but with the aver age delivery for the year, 31,613 bales, and from it a considerable deduction must be made for excess of stock held at the end of the year, to arrive at the actual consumption; 2d, an addition must be made to the deliveries this year for the excess of stock held by spinners at its commencement, and which is admitted by all to be now in a great measure ex hausted ; and 3d, correction mustbe made in the “General Circular, ’’ for the error of reckoning 19 weeks from the Ist ol January, instead of the exact time, 18 weeks and 1 day. This correction alone involves an addi tion of 1,200 bales per week, to the deliv ery of American cotton. These explana tions will serve to render our estimate of consumption more reconcilable with ex ■ siting appearances. After making the correction alluded to we find the weekly delivery of American cotton to the tradt (to the Bth May) to be 27,486 bales, say 27,500 bales. We will assume that they have encroached on the stock held on tht Ist of January to the very moderate ex tent of 27,000 bales, or 1,500 per week —an estimate which many would be in dined to extend ; but we place it at this low figure in deference to the general im pression entertained, that consumption has sustained a material check. The weekly consumption of the trade will, then, be on our supposition, 29,000 bales, or about 2,000 bales under the actual consumption of last year. We have now lastly to consider the pro bable amount of export. On the Bth ol May the clearances of American cottoi through the custom house amounted to 13,552 bales, against 28,645 bales last year. But there seems no reason to sus pect that it will continue to preserve si small a proportion to that of last year The demand tor the last few weeks has been very active, and the sales reportec for export, large; and the best author.ties appear to anticipate that it will ultimate ly attain, or nearly so, to the dimensions of last year, wheu it reached 130,001 bales. This view appears not unreasons ble when we consider that the average ex port of American cotton from Great Brit ain to the Continent for the last five year: has been 147,000 bales, nod the nverngi total taken hy the Continent for the sanu period, direct from America, and indi rectly from Great Britain, has been ru Isss than 950,000 bales, last year amount ing to 1,163,000 bales, while, by our hy pothesis, it will receive direct from the States, this seasou, only 820,000 biles Ou t e whole, we wool I tie disposed to set down the export ot American cotton, this year._at not less than 100,000 bales, leaving 87,000 bales yet to be exported, wbic i is at the rate of 2,500 bales pei week. Phis, ad led to a trade consump lion of 29,000 bales, will give a total out going ot 31,500 bales per week, to be pro vided for out of a supply of 941.000 bale till the Ist of December, a period of 29. weeks, which at the above rate of con sumption will give a total outgoing ot 929,000 bales, leaving a stock of 12,00* bales on the Ist of December! Tilts re suit, of course, is impossible, for through the instrumentality ot price the deuiam in the meantime would he reduced to i scale commensurate with the supply L (act, it is not likely that the stock will b let down beiow 130,000 bales, especially with the pr. spect of but a moderate, per haps another short crop, to succeed th* .present one. To maintain it at this level consumption must be cut down 4.(Ri< bales per week, for it is probable that’ ill export demand would not be materially curtailed. Now it is obvious, that tin longer the process is deferred, the more violent must be its action when it comes. Suppose tbe urgency ot tbe case was not generally recognized till the beginning of August, which is not improbable, as tbe anxiety of the trade may be assuaged by the high level at which the stock of Amer ican cotton, will be maintained here till that date, when it will range between 400, 000 and 500,000 bales, while consumption continued till then to drag on at its pres ent rate, it would thenceiorth have to be diminished 7,000 bales per week to leave the requisite stock, aud this, every one will admit, could not be effected without prices attaining an almost fabulous eleva tion. It is just possible that, without any further advance in price, the trade may largely reduce their consumption by adopting their long threatend expedient of resorting to short time. But it is very improbable that this course will be pur sued to an extent at all equal to tbe emer gency, and taking the most impartial view of tbe case, it does appear that a further advance on our already high rates is un avoidable ; and the later it is of coming, the more extravagant it will be. Various contingencies might, no doubt, conspire to assist us out of this dilemma. Itis possible that the export demand may be on a smaller scale than we contemplate ; that the consumption has been and will be slightly less, that we may receive a trifle more of the present crop; and that tbe new cotton may come forward earlier, while in view, perhaps, of a sufficient supply next year, (which could only hap pen if the season henceforth were emi nently propitious.) Spinners might let the stock run down to 100,000 bales with out evincing apprehension. By such -an extremely favorable conduction of circum stances we might possibly be saved from the catastrophe I have imagined, without any rise in prices. But, on the other hand, it is equally probable, nay, more so, that circumstan ces may prove more adverse than we have represented them. The simple fact of a prevalence of easterly winds towards the eud of the year would make the position of the trade infinitely worse. But it is needless to speculate further upon what must be entirely problematical, especially as we have subjected ourselves to tbe charge of unreasonable prolixity for which our only apology is the desire we felt to place our conclusions on tbe most solid and comprehensive basis possible, and to render every step in our argument obvi ous to the most cursory reader. Before concluding, suffer a single re mark upon the possibility of other des criptions of cotton being substituted for American. Many persons place great weight upon what they consider the ex cessive supply of Surats expected this year. The favorite opinion appears to be that we shall receive 600,000 bales. Now • he consumption and export of the United Kingdom took off, last year, in round .lumbers, 500,000 bales. Up to the Btli ilist, tbe weekly delivery of Surats from Liverpool was 800 bales in excess of the average of last year, or at a rate equiva ■ ent to an extra consumption of 40,000 bales per annum ; while the actual export stood at 60,000 bales against 31.000 last year. It therefore appears highly proba de that the utmost available supply ol Surats will be used up, and tbe stock, though probably kept at a reasonable lev ■i. prevented from ever becoming exces sive, perhaps not even heavy. Os Brazils oe import last year was 122,000 bales igainst a consumption and export of 158, 000 bales, leaving a very light stock at the close of the year. Up to the present time consumption is on a parity with that of last year, while the import is not like ■y to equal it, pointing to a further limi tation of the small stock of last year, un less consumption be checked by a process similar to what we anticipate in American cotton. Os Egyptian the crop is reported to be very deficient. But the extreme prices established in consequence, seem to have adjusted the demand to the lessen ed supply. To sum up, the pressure to which the stock of American cotton seems destined, cannot be lightened, to a great extent, by the substitution of other des criptions; but probably will be, to acer tain measure, by the substitution of Su rats, and to that extent the disastrous consequences resulting from a deficiency of American will be moderated. Butthi.- subject with all its collateral bearings, wt Jo not intend to pursue. We would merely add, in conclusion, that we have discussed the whole question with the strictest, impartiality, suppress ing nothing, nor distorting nothing, but as igtnng every argument to the best of out ability, the exact importance it deserved.
