The Cincinnati Commercial says : The
Hebrew organ and the Roman Catholic
organ of this city are both frendly to the
secession cause. The Israelite declares

W heat—Corn.
We rejoico to learn from tho citizens
of Troup county, says the La-grange Re
porter, that the prospects for good wlioat
crops were never more promising: and
such is the news we seo from all parts of
the oountry. Thore never was a time
whon the people needed good harvests
more than at present, if we mayjudgo
from the amount of corn brought to our
markots from the North-west. Our deal
ers are constantly loading wagons with
corn. Thcro novor has been more corn
sold in Troup in one wiutor than has beon
sold here the present season.

Direct Trade.
The Charleston Courier says that sev
eral of the leading houses of that city are
rnoviDg in the matter of obtaining their
suppliee direct. One firm has already
made arrangements for importing several
cargoes of cotfeo from Rio Janeiro, for
the summer and fall. Tho brig West In
dian and schooner 11. P. Russell, are j
loading for South America with rice and 1
lumber, and are expected to return to
Charleston with from eight to ten thou- ,
sand bags of coffee for this firm. They
are also arranging to establish a line of’
schooners for the West India trade.
Kart Morgan.
Yesterday wo published the names of
the officers in command at Fort Morgan
says the Mobile Tribnne, of the 27th.—
D was oorrect at the time it was written ; |
but it is not now, for Lieut. Col. Jones
left the post last Monday, and came to
the city. His place is now occupied by
Col. Hardee. The appointment of Lieut.
Col. Jones, in the first instance, was un
derstood to be temporary. He is a skill
ful officer and won the good opinion of
all the garrison. For what service lie is
to be selected we cannot say.
The garrisou at Fort Morgan, we un
derstand, is to be raised to a thousand
men. At present we suppose there are
at least seven or eight hundred already
there, and we learn that they are rapidly
being instructed in all the garrison du
ties.

Consulship* in the “ Upper Deep.”

was asking,” said : “There is no such
consulship on this planet. You may find
it in some fixed star, not Vere”
Cioitnuir of Alhm*.
So many are the aspirants for the
Gubernatorial Chair of Alabama, and so
many have been brought forward by their
respective frienJs for that position, that
it will be rather a difficult matter to re
concile so as to effect a choice of candi
dates Another bone of contention which
never fails to enter contests of this sort
in that State, is the sectionul feeliug
prevailing between North und South Ala
baoia In the race about to commence,
North Alabama contends that she is enti
tled to tho candidate, and urges the claim
of Robert Jemison, Jr., of Tuscaloosa.
There is however, another gentleman who
has long aspired to the position, and that
is Hod. John E. Moore, of the same sec
tion of the State. His friends, no less
than those of Mr. Jemison’s, arc urgent
in presenting his claims.
In Middle and South Alabama there
arc at least a dozen others all competent
and whose claims are justly and warmly
pressed. Old party lines having been
obliterated in the State and the South,
there is no necessity for a Convention ;
and tho only alternative seems to boa
free fight, oud let the people decide the
matter at the ballot box. This in all
probability will he the course determined
on, us it seems to be the only way to
afford general satisfaction.
liiiallies* at Charleston
The Mercury of the 20th says : The
receipts of all kinds of merchandize usual
ly bought at tho North, which have not
been made “ free” uuder the adopted
Tariff of ’57, have been very heavy. Tho
supply of all the leading articles of the
grocery trade is fully equal to the demand
Tho supply of gunny bagging has beon
increased by recent arrivals about 2,000
bales, and the stock in store in Charles
ton is about 3,200 bales, or about one
half the quantity required for our trade
for the next crop. The stock imported
into Boston in January and February of
this year reached 14,000 bales, and tho
stuck remaining on hand on the 10th of
March was 17,000 bales in that place.
Our jobbers in Hoyne and Meeting
streets are doing a good business. Their
stock of all the leading articles for the
trade is good, but they have not laid iu a
heavy supply of fancy and lino goods, as
they very naturally supposed that these
would not have been iu very general de
mand.
Tile Loan of the Confederate State*
A Calculation
The following extract from the Mobile
Advertiser furnishes <tu estimate of tho
value of cotton, whioh is to supply the
basis of security for the proposal loan :
With these data boforo us, it is not an
extravagant estimate that the cotton crop
of tho eight States, during tho next ten
years, will increase 40 per cent. But
when is addod to this tho consideration
that iu the cveut of the border States
: standing aloof from the South, an in
creased emigration hither of the citizens
j of those States, with their families of
slaves, is suro to take place, wo may
safely disregard the 41 per cent, of the
i crop which is produced in those States,
and base our calculations upon the former
entire crops of tho United States. On
that basis, tho expectation of future crops
in the Confederate States is us follows:
Bales.
lstil 62 4,088,000
1882-63 4,228,000
1803-64 4,272,000
1H1',4 lli 4.620,000
1806 00 4.075,000
1800-07 4,825,000
1807 -08 5,000,000
1808-00 5,171,0181
1800 70 5,048,000
The next element iu the calculation is
the average weight of the halo of cotton,
ranging from 300 pounds on tho Atlantic
coast to 400 on tho Mississippi river, and
upwards of 500 pounds for tho Mobile
market. This, wo think, may safely bo
put at 440 pounds; according to which
the duty per bale will be 55cents. These
data give us the following results, as tho
principal and interest of the $15,000,000
loan, for each year, the income applica
ble to the redemption of the debt, and the
bulanco remaining each year :
1 i>l>t. Sinking Fund. Ilaluneo.
1822 $1(1,200.000 $2,248,400 $12.051,(881

1669 3,919,602 2,844,060 1,076,553
Iu 1870 the sum of $1,101,597 would
have to be provided for, while the duty
would yield $2,941,400, or nearly three
times the necessary amount.

Till’ Union Spring* Tragedy.
Wo have received tho following card
from Union Spriugs relating to the late
tragedy enacted there a few days siuco,
and which furnishes its own explana
tion :
A Cabs. —The deceased kuown as
Thomas, Baulk, and bis brother, known
ns Augustus Baulk, had not been on very
frieudly torms for some time, and occa
sionally their passions nearly involved
them in personal collision. On the
morning of the day on which Thomas
Baulk was killed, before breakfast, de
ceased took a gun and passing the room
occupied by his brother Augustus, pro
ceeded to the steps of tho passage to shoot
a young dog that had annoyed the futil
ity. An Irishman standing in the yard
exclaimed, “Don't shoot him! Dou’t
shoot him !“ wheu deceased returned the
gun toils place. His brother Augustus
overhearing this exclamation, believed
that deceased had taken the gnu to shoot
him, (Augustus,) but had been dissaud
ed by tho Irishman. During breakfast
no words passed between deceased and
his brother Augustus. Very soon after
deceased and his brother Joshua had re
tired, Augustus came to tho door of the
room where they were sitting and ex
“You have threatened to kill
me, l will Jsill you first,” and fired, but
used no profane language.
This statement is deemed but just to
both parties, ami is made in order that
no undue prejudice may bo indulged
agaiust W m. A. Baulk, who, they are as
sured, and do believe, will return iu due
time and submit toa legal investigation.

Urn, llouaton'* Aciiuiracrnc*.
From the Austin correspondent of tbe
Houston Telegraph, we learn that Kx
Governor Houston made application to
Governor Clark, on the 10th, for the par
don of a convict. So, it will be perceived,
that Gen. Houston himself recognizes
Clark at least as Governor dt facto.

States.
The convention proposed by Great Bri

Washington. March 28.—1n the Sen
ate, Mr. Trumbull introduced a resolution
that the true way to preserve the Union
is to enforco the laws, and that resistance
to their enforcement encourages disunion,
and that it is the duty of Ihe President to
use all the means in his power to hold
and protect the public property, and to
enforce the laws in South Carolina, Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Lou
isiana, and Texas, as in the other States
of tiio Union.
Mr. Trumbull said that this resolution
expressed his views, and asked that it be
printed. Tho Democratic Senators wan
ted an immediate vote, but it was not
granted.
The Senate went into Executive Session,
and then adjourned sine die.

South Carolina State Convent 1011.
Charleston, March 28.—The discus
sion on the question, whether the Per
manent Constitution should or should
not bo considered in publio session, was
continued to-day. Appearances indi
cate that the vote in favor of the ratifica
tion will not be so largo as stated in my
lettor on yesterday. The Convention
decided to discuss the Constitution in
secret session, by yeas ninety-four to
nay* sixty.
There is uothing new about Fort Sum

Washington Affair*.
Washington, March 28.—At both ends
of the Avenue to-day there were matters
of groat importance discussed.
Col. Lamon, who recently visited Fort
Sumter, reported fully to the President,
and tho matter was fully discussed in
Cabinet counsel to-day. It is reported
| in generally well informed political cir
cles, that no order has yet been issued
and goue forward for Maj. Anderson to
: evacuate Fort Sumter, but it is confi
dently expected that a spocial messenger
will be sent, at an early day, with the
necessary instructions.
There is much talk about the discre
pancies and inconsistencies iu Major An
derson's dispatches to the Government;
but it is believed that the Administra
tion claims to possess the happy faculty
! of harmonising all of those disorepan
i eics.
Trumbull, of Illinois, iu introducing a
resolution to-day, made a wur speech in
the Senate, in which he expressed the
hope that Liucoln would enforce the Fed
eral laws in all the seceded States. The
! Republicans wisely determined not to
put Trumbull's resolution to vote, and
still more wisely adjourned shie die.
The Commissioners from the Ceufede
rate States remain firm and calm, and
hopeful of highly favorable results to
their mission.
