Columbus Cotton Market.
The Cotton market opened this
morning quite dull, and with but little
offering at 7 to 8 cts. as outside figures.
The market fluctuates so much, that it is
difficult to give any reliable quotations.
New Orleans, Jan. 15.— Cotton —There were
some negotiations for future delivery pending
to-day, but the only sale reported was 40 bales
at B%c. for Middling. Factors continue firm in
theirpretensions. Stock as before, 11,214 bales.
Sugar.— The demand was mainly confined to
the higher grades, and the sales were confined
to 900 bbls. at about previous rates, common
to good common ruling at 2J 4, to 2%e., fair to
fully fair at 2% to 3%e., and prime to choice at
3% to 4j%c.
Molasses. —With a moderate demand the sales
did not exceed 1000 bbls. fermenting ranging
from 17 to IS and 18%e., and prime to choice
from 19 to 19% and 20c. 100 half bbls. sold at
21c. for lermenting, and 23c. for prime.
Flour.— loo bbls. superfine sold at $lO 25, and
100 extra at sll. The latter is quoted at $lO 75
to 11.
Pork.—Mess continues to retail slowly at S4O
to $45.
Bacon. —Shoulders retail at 230 , Sides at 25c.
for rib, and,27 to 28c. for clear, and Hams at 22
to 23e. for plain, and 25 to 27c. for sugar cured.
Whiskey —Rectified is retailing at $l2O for old
Bourbon, and Monongahela atsl 35t05l 50.
E. E. Jones, formerly editor of the old
New York Spirit of the Times, proposes
to revive that publication in some city of
the Confederacy, when the war shall have
closed.
Failures North,
The Herald says the list of failures last
year in the Northern States numbered
six thousand. Their indebtedness reach
ed the sum of one hundred and eighty
millions of dollars.
Dentil of Gen, E. D. Ring.
We regret to learn from the Selma Re
porter, the death of Gen. Edwin D. King,
which occurred at his residence recently,
in Marion, Alabama. Gen. King was a
very wealthy, public spirited and patriot
ic citizen, and his death is a great loss to
the section in which he lived. He was
widely known in Georgia and Alabama.
The Humble Poor.
When one possessed of coffers filled to
overflowing, out of his abundance gives
to his country's cause, he reaps his just
reward of thanks, because his gift is made
known to all men. Yet he has made no
sacrifice in hisgift,he doesnot feel the want
of it. He is not thereby deprived of his
comforts or luxuries. But who shall pub
lish to the world the names of the humble
poor, who have sacrificed their all on the
altar of their country, without a murmur
or complaint ? The honest laborer, in
digent professional man—they who have
sacrificed their incomes, upon which they
and their dependents leaned for support,
and then still anxious to do more, are
risking health, limbs—yea, life itself on
the field of battle for that country’s hon
or—these are they, whose claims are
strongest upon a nation’s gratitude. The
widowed mother, who yields her only
son, the prop of her declining years, to
become the stay of his country —the poor
wife who sends forth her husband to the
battle, while she, at home, deprives her
self of the comforts of life, to minis
minister to his wants in the camp—these
are the true heroines of the struggle for in
dependence. The woman in the Bible,
who gave her mite was commended by the
Lord above all others. And she who
could do no more, bathed hisfeet and wiped
them with the hair of her head, received
the assurance of her Divine Master, that
her name and deed should be spoken of
throughout the earth.

cles for the Fifteenth Alabama Regiment, Col.
J. Cantey commanding.

“A Father In Israel hath Fallen.” |
Ex President John Tyler is no more.— ;
But a few days ago it was announced that j
he would be Speaker of the first Congress J
of the Confederate States : then came the I
news of his illness, and now the mourn
ful tidings of his death. Perhaps no man
in the old government filled so many dif
ferent, important positions as Mr. Tyler.
He commenced his political career as a
member of the Virginia House of Dele
gates, then was a member of the United
States Congress, was next elected Gover
nor of the State, then a member of the
once august Senate of the United States,
then Vice President, and after the death
of the lamented Harrison, he succeeded
to the Presidential chair. Since the se
cession of Virginia, Mr. Tyler has been
an active participant in the cause of
Southern Independence, and his last ef
forts were made to promote the best in
terests of the South. But now, the
statesman and patriot is gone! Let the
people of the Confederacy shed a mourn
ful tear over his grave, and his memory
be embalmed in the affections of his coun
try. In the language of Junius, “Re
corded honors shall gather round his
monument, and thicken over him.”
A Crisis with the ]£nemy.
Since the commencement of this con
test, the war spirit has been kept up
among the Northern masses by huge
promises which have never been fulfilled,
by vain boastings which have proved
bombastic, by glowing descriptions of
successful battles which were never
fought, by recitals of victories which
were never won, and by false representa
tions of public sentiment at the South.
To all these facts the Northern mind is
being awakened. Deceived, duped and
disappointed, impatient at a “masterly
inactivity” which they do not appreciate,
that people are pressing, with irresistible
force, an “advance movement,” which
Gen. McClellan finds it impossible to
make, with any other result than dis
graceful defeat. While as yet, in this
inextricable dilemma, the relations of
that government with Great Britain are
becoming entangled from various causes,
and the Lion of the “Sea girt Isle” is de
fiantly lifting his mighty form. Aroused
to the emergency, Mr. Lincoln calls for
material aid, but the monied powers fail
to supply it. Such is the crisis now
upon the United States. The issue can
not be distant—but of its character it is
impossible to divine.
A Plan of Popular Loan to the
Government.
We learn that the government has de
vised anew system of popular loan,
which presents such extraordinary ad
vantages for investment that it cannot
fail to attract the attention not only of
capitalists, but of the large classes in the
community who may desire to invest
small sums of money in a safe and profi
table form, and for short terms. The
advantage of the new plan of loan is near
ly that of deposits on call and resembles
the savings bank system.
Mr. Memminger, the Secretary of the
Treasury, has proposed to parties having
money to loan, to invest in government
bonds, or registered stock, on the follow
ing liberal terms:
It is proposed to make the stock run
from three to sixteen years, but to give it
nearly the advantage of a loan on call by
making it payable at any period of six
months intervening between three and
eighteen years, with the interest at the
rate of eight per cent per annum, paya
ble semi annually in coin.
Holders of treasury notes can at aDy
time procure from the same treasury, as
sistant treasurer, depositories or commis
sioners, bonds or registered stock in ex
change for treasury notes ; said bonds or
stock to be reconvertable, at the pleasure
of the holder, into treasury notes, and to
bear interest at tho rate of six per cent,
per annum, until so reconverted, and
thus constituting a deposit on call bear
ing six per cent interest.
Both classes of stock—that of six per
cent., available as a deposit on call, and
that of eight per cent, payable at any
period of six months, present better ad
vantages for investment tbaa the usual
standards of commercial loans, and will,
no doubt, in other regards, recommend
themselves to the people of the South.—
Richmond Examiner.
From den, Crittenden’s Division.
The Knoxville Register is informed by
private letter, that a skirmish recently
took place between our forces in Ken
tucky and the enemy, in which the Yan
kees were completely routed, with a re
ported loss of twenty. The letter states
that “on Thursday (the 9th) the General
ordered a part of bis command across
the river, and when we arrived at the
bank the Yankees commenced a brisk fire
on us. We were ordered to return the
fire, when they threw down their arms
and run. A man that saw the fight says
there were twenty of the enemy killed.
There was nobody killed on our side, and
only two wounded. We took a large
amount of arms and ammunition.”
From the London Morning Herald,
The British Cotton Famine.
The Amerioan cotton crop is not gath
ered till September, and does not reach
England till December. Even now, what
drives our manefaoturers to short lime,
and raises the prioo of raw material to a
rate whioh leaves scarcely any margin to
dofray the cost of spinning, is not an ac
tual but an appreheuded scarcity. There
is cotton enough in Liverpool and in the
spiuners’ hands to last, at the high rate
of consumption which prevailed last year,
until the time when tho crop of 1861
ought to come to hand. It is the knowl
edge that that crop will not be forth
coming which has sent Middling Orleans
cotton up to Is. per lb., and converted
the profits of the spinner into a dead loss
on every pound spun. What his condi
tion will be whon the present supply is
used up and no more is forthcoming, is
but .feebly shadowed in his present posi
tion. In September tho prospect was
still too uncertain and too distant to have
produced a marked effect ou the exports.
Their falling was due not to the increas
ed price of the raw material, but. to the
other causes above specified, which arc
still in operation. So far, then, from
knowing that we have reached the worst,
and “ are only straitened, not crushed,”
we know that as yet we have not, in re
ference to our export, felt the influence
of the cotton famine at all; and yet we
have suffered severely. What, then, will
our case be in December, when the cloth
exported will have cost 4d. or Gd. per
pound more than that exported in Sep
tember ? What will it be when we have
really reached the worst—say by March
next—when no American cotton remains,
and our doth fallen off alike in quantity,
is made with Egyptian warp and Surat
weft, at a higher cost than that woven
three months ago from far superior cot
ton of America? When half our mills
will have ceased to work at nil, and the
other half will be running two days a
week, spinning cotton that hither it was
deemed only fit to adulterate the Ameri
can ? It is useless to point us to Turkey,
Brazil, Egypt, Africa, Jamaica, or even
India. We know that in any of these
countries cotton can be grown in abun
dance, and of excellent quality. But we
know that it is not there now, that be
fore it can bo grown and made available,
immense capital must be sunk, commu
nication opened, factories established—
a vast commercial organization oreated;
and we know that this will be the work,
not “of a few months,” but of many
years. Long before this will be accomp
lished the Amerioan war will be over. Our
wants are pressing and immediate—so
instant, that they must be met by cotton
already grown and gathered, if they are
to be met at all, so urgent, that those
who practically feel them and those who
sympathise with sufferings of their coun
trymen, can scarce find patience to en
dure the heartless levity and presumptu
ous ignorance of a journal which pro
nounces ex cathedra that there is no real
suffering to be apprehended, and supports
its dictum by reasonings which only de
monstrate its own utter want of acquaint
ance with the subject. India may, “in
a few months,” send us a few hundred
thousand bales, in place of millions; but
they will be bales of Surat, not of Or
leans ; and the other countries enumera
ted as possible cotton lands, will not be
come so until our need is either relieved
by the termination of the American
blockade, or ended by the total destruc
tion of our cotton manufacture.
This estimate of the condition of the
staple trade of England may seem to
some unnecessarily gloomy. We believe
it to be essentially just; and we consider
it better to speak alarming truths than
to offer consolations which are insulting
to those who do know the facts of the
case, and deluding to those who do not.
When the nation understands its position
there is hope that it may find means of
self-redemption; those who would de
ceive us as to our real peril, increase it
by delaying the adoption of such pallia
tives as may yet be attainable.
Coolly Encouraging.
A friend who has a keen perception of
thelaugbabie, and enjoys agood thing, re
latesthe following rare one, which is too
good to bolost. “Ihappened,”says he “to
be present in a village, not a hundred
Sabbath days journey from this place, a
few weeks ago, when a military company
arriving on their way to the rendezvous,
the good people of the town determined
to give them a welcome. Whereupon, an
excellent dinner was prepared. The mil
itary boys drawn up before the store, and
the orator of the occasion mounting the
steps, said in the course of hi3 welcome,
‘ Gentlemen: I welcome you to the hospi
talities of our village. Y r ou are engaged
in a glorious cause. Gentlemen, doubtless
most you have volunteered in a frolic,
but let me assure you, that you will find
it a serious matter. The probability is,
gentlemen, that the last one of you will either
die or be killed and never return to your homes
again. ” ’
If that company still went on, it will
do to make a “stone wall.”
