In response to a question as to how cigars
•sized for non-payment of the tax may be put
rpon the market, no stamps being affixed for
which seizure was made, Bollins' decided
that .tamps shall be affixed necessary to cover
the tax due, and the collector shall accredit
to his stamp account from the proceeds of
their sale, so much money as shall be equal
to the value of the stamps affixed, and pay
the balance, if any, into the Treasury. If
the amount of sale dons not pay th® expenses
•ad tax due thereon, then the law authorizes
the Collector to bid them in for the govern
ment, for an amount not exceeding the tax.
It is thought that Congress will provide for

ENGLISH VIEWS ABOUT COTTON.
[From Smith, Edwards & Co.’s Circular.]
m Liverpool, December 1.—Our market has
not experienced important fluctuations during
the past month, and closes at rather over the
opening prices. * * . * * *
_ The prospects of our market at the present
time are bound up in a special manner with
the out-turn of the American crop. We di
rect attention’flrst to this point. The picking
season has been fine and prolonged till to
wards the end of last month, when we were
advised of a “killing frost,” but it was too
late to do much harm. Estimates have shown
a decided tendency to increase, and whereas a
month ago the fhvorite opinion was 2,400,000
to 2,500,000 bides, or the same as last crop,
we would say that 2,600,000 is the favorite
figure. At New York, the Atlantic ports, and.
Mobile rather smaller estimates are current,
but at New Orleans and many places the
crop as high as 2,700,000 bales. The reason
of this discrepancy is that the-crop-ill the At
lantic States and Alabama are admitted by all
to be deficient. By most persons the falling
off iff put at twenty per cent, from last year,
whereas in the States bordering the Mississip
pi and In Texas the crops are said to be mnch
better than last year, and promise a large in
crease, estimated”by some as high as.fifty to
sixty per cent
It appears to ns, however, that the scale of
receipts we are now having is not equal to
what might be expected with a crop of
2,600,000 or 2,700,00Q hales. Picking is now
nearly completed, the high prices ruling are
very remunerative to planters, and encourage
them to dispatch their crops rapidly to mar
ket and we should have expected by this
time to have seen weekly receipts of 100,000
bales if existing views of crop are sound. It
is alleged, however, that the low stage of the
Alabama river and the tributaries of the Mis
sissippi prevents free -navigation, and ac
counts for the small receipts; and we
believe this to be partially correct, but we
doubt if it filrnishes a full explanation. Bail-

"dejSjnd
upon the rivers as it used, to do, and there
fore we think the present low scale of re
ceipts is suggestive of grave doubts as to the
accuracy of large estimates. Ono thing seems
proble;'if the receipts continue about their
present figure for some time longer, we may
expect a continuance of uneasiness amongst
spinners on the score of future supply and
occasional "Spurts of’speculative demand in
this market, and. it would be unfortunate if
by these means a high scale of prices was
kept qp in the early part of the season,, .to be
falsified by heavy receipts of cotton at the
American parts in the spring months.
It is'to be feared, however, that whatever
estimate of the American crop may prove
true; there is little chance of a materially in
creased export to Europe. The last crop was
2,430,000 bales, bnt as the stock in the ports
was reduced from 80,000 tq" 10,000 bales at
the end of the seasqq, the amount distribu
ted was bales, and supposing the
crop to he 2,600,000 bales, there would only
remain a surplus of 130,000 bales to distri
bute, and the bulk of this, we have reason
to believe, will be taken by American con
sumers.
Further, it seems probable that the conti
nent of Enrope will receive a far larger
proportion of this crop than of the last one;
the exports to the continent thus far are much
above last year, and will probably continue
so, for trade on the continent is more pros
perous than here, and spinners there have
more confidence in prices. A greater diver
sion of the crop to the continent is not,
however, of very rnuph moment, as its natural
effect is to limit the export from this country;
but we may very fairly conclude, neverthe
less, that the active buying by continental
spinners is a sign of an increased consumption
in the aggregate, and that the continent will
need next year altogether a larger supply of
cotton than the last ojje, .We are sorry that
we- cannot see—lqoking into the future—any
thing but a scanty and inadequate supply of
ffie raw material for our own spinners during
the season, and we fear their position will be
no better than during the last one,
OUT stock of cotton hns run down very
rapidly of late, and has reached 330,000
bales, against 463,000 bales last year, and
668,000 bales the year before, and our present
estimate must be unusually correct, as the
actual stock of American cotton was taken in
the beginning of the month, and an addition
of 30,000 bales mad® to, the previous estimate.
It is donbtftil if there has ever been known
greater scarcity of American cotton in Liver
pool than during the last week or two. The
Stock last Friday was 27,000 bales, and in
cluded about 10,000 bales just arrived and
not landed, ana also some quantity under orJ
ders for export. Probably the actual stock in
warehouse and available of sale was not over
15,000 bales, or one week’s consumption, a
most extraordinary position for a great staple
trade to be reduced to, and one which cquld
scarcely have been imag$$g hfcfqre the Arner-
i? Wehave now passed the period of greatest
scarcity; and as Railing vessels are beginning
to arrive from the Southern ports, we may
expect a steady import of about 25.0QQ bqjes
American per week till the eild of the year;
and this will admit of ft trifling increase of
stqofe<hut it must he a long time yet before
the stook of American cotton can swell to
anything like its accustomed size. Mean
while the stock of East India must rapidly
decrease, for only 10,000 to 12,000 bales per
week are due till the first of April, making
ample allowance for stenmers, and prqbably
os great’ scarcity of the sliort fttqnle will be
felt during March and April as iff W feft of
American cotton. Liberal imports may pres
ently be expected from Egypt' aqd Brazil; efi->
pccially the fqrrner; but, viewing toe trade in
the aggregate, it will require a more moderate
scftleoT&elivery than -we have been accus
tomed to of late to prevent our stock running
still lower, and it is evident that it cannot be
largely increased for several months to come.
At London the slock last week was increased,
by a heavy import to 159,000 bales, against
106,000 bales -last year, but the expert de
mand from that market has been unusnally
large of late, as if has also been froiq Liver
pool, file 'two markets .aggregating about
Sftf 000 bales per week during November. Up
tolst Ajlril, 186.9, an import of 5,000 to G,000
tjajes per week is d ne at‘London’, -

LOST ON THE PRAIRIE—TERRIBLE
j suffering near storm lake.
The Fort Dodge Xbrihuest, of November 26,
tells this story: _ - •<u <-> i. wii mt
Vliiree trappers ffpm Illinois passed
through here about a month ago on their way
west to begin the winter campaign
toe mink’ and otter. They were txttppmtoif
Buena Vista county and MHrouiitHfife’beiBtityy
On Monday the l6th two of them started fiMHil
the Maple river to go across toe prairie to
Stonn Lake. Our readers will ah remember
the sevefe -show’Bnorto that came offao BmL:
dehljr during that day. The wind .hie w a ter
rible gale from northwest. The snow came
driving down in blinding fury, making .it a
fearful day for toe traveller on the great un
settled prairies. The two trappers pushed on
through the blinding storm all day, and when
night came no friendly shelter was in sight
The. storm had continued to increase. The
night was dark, toe air filled with, toe driving
snow, the road utterly hidden from sight It
was a cheerless prospect before them—to con
tinue pa groping their.way through the long
hours- of night, lost—and without hope of
finding a friendly shelter, or lying down in
the snow; at the risk of freezing, to wait for
morning.
‘•After wandering around for a time, they
concluded to stop and dig a hole in the large
snow-drift, which would afford a partial shel
ter from the fury of the storm until morning.
When daylight appeared, they crawled out,
and found themselves badly frozen. One of
them, Charles Butler, insisted upon going on
towards the lake, while the other os strongly
insisted upon trying to find the nearest house.
They finally separated—Butler and his dog
going in the direction of Storm Lake, while
the other wandered around untiLhe found a
house. Before-reaching it he became nearly
deranged from his sufferings. Having pulled'
off his boots to rub his feet, he was unable to
get them on again, and was . compelled to
walk several miles barefoot in the snow:
When he reached the- honse his feet were
badly frozen, mangled from toe . stubble of
the harsh prairie grass, bleeding and useless.
“On Friday night Butler’s dog came into
Sac City and made such demonstrations
that some of toe citizens who knew him, see
ing him so lank and apparently nearly
starved, became alarmed for toe safety of his
master. Early the next morning a party of
men started ont, and following toe dog, who
ran on before" them, for about- twelve miles,
toward Storm Lake, they at last came upon
the body of the anfortunate trapper lying.
rigid in the snow. The dog had evidently
stayed with his master from Tuesday' night
until Friday, when, almost famished with
hunger, he sought the settlement. Butler-
leaves a wife in Illinois to mourn his sad
fate.”
GREECE AED TURKEY.
The announcement that the government of
Greece has rejected the demand of the Snl-
tnn of Turkey to disband its Volunteer corps
and forbid Grecian officials from participating
in the Cretan insurrection, and the withdraw
al of the Turkish minister from Athens, would
seem to leave no recourse for the settlement
of toe questions at issue between the'two
powers but war. The majority of the inhab
itants of Crete are Greek Christians, and
there have been repeated insurrections against
the Turkish government, which have only
served, hitherto, to increase the weight of its
yoke. The present insurrection has lasted
ahout two years. The straggle upon which
Greece appears to have been embarked would
seem to be a desperate one, if she is going nn-
aided into the conflict The popnlationis Only
a little over a million. The army nsmbera not
quite ten thousand men, and toe navy twenty-
seven vessels. The Talks proper number
about 3,000,000 in European and 10,500,000
in Asiatic Turkey. The Slavic races in
European Turkey are about 6,000,000, and
are the principal agriculturists iu that region.
The effective or permanent force of the army
of the empire is 120.0QQ men, and the reserve
at leaRt 150,000. The navy consists of 64
vessels, of which 23 are steamers, and there
are 34,000 marines ftnd sailors fit for effective
service. The combatants, it wiQ tons he seen,
are very unequally matched, and there would
appear to he hut tittle chance for Greece, in
such a -contest, even if it be not the fact, as has
been reported, that England, and France
support the demand of Turkey. It. is. true
that in the contest for Grecian independence,
which broke out in 1821, the Greeks ex
hibited tbs most brilliant courage, for
titude and resolution, and that their cause
was finally crowned with success. But all
Christendom sympathized with the cause of
Grecian nationality ftiffi justice, and men,
money and provisions were forwarded to
them from Europe and America, Our own
Webster, Clay and Everett raised their elo
quent voices for them in this country, and
finally, at the battle of Navarino, October 29,
1827, the combined squadrons of England,
France and Russia destroyed toe Tnreo-
Egyptian fleet, and compelled the Snltan to
come to terms. However hopeless for Greece
the contest which now appears imminent may
be, the sympathies generally of Christians,
and of those who love liberty, will be on toe
side of what remains of classic and heroic
Greece, even though it he “Eving Greece no
more.”

Death-Bel Confession oif a Great Cbime.
—The New Orleans Pimyune relates that
some years ago a respectable young man, toe
only support of a widowed mother and sister,
was clerk In a dry goads store in this city.
He frequently assisted the cashier, and one
day a forged note on the firm for hundred dol-.
lars, in the hand writing of the young, man,
was presented at the bank by an unknown
person and paid. The young man admitted’
drawing the check, but had no reocJlection of
t he circumstances, and could give no explana
tion.' He was arrested, tried and convicted.
His mother aud sister alone believing folds;:
innocence. Bowed down with shame, and
tumble to vindicate his: honor, he died short
ly! after. iu leafftlian a year ffie bereaved
mother died also, and the sister , was left to
struggle alone for a living, which she obtain
ed by becoming a seamtress. A. few days
ago a lawyer was called to write the will of a
man at toe point of death. In this -will he
' lueathed his property to the sister, and em
bed in the instrument a full confession of
the forgery committed eight years ago. He
was toe qashier bf toe firm," now grown rich.
It was by his direction the draft was prepared.
Now after the lapse of eight years a tardy-
reparation, is attempted to be made. Bnt it
will not restore life to the dead, or ext
bitter sting of sorrow and grief so long en
dured. It is one of the strange events wl
make up the story of a life.
found in immense-herds. «&.ta distance _of
two hundred and fifty miles-west of the_ Mis
souri river on the Kansas Pacific road, he
passed through a herd covering a surface of
frve hundred square miles, and containing
probably over a million huffidoes. The num
ber of dead buffaloes lying on toe line of the
road, shot by passengers as the cars go along,
is very great, and the informant^ says there is
enough meat lying there at this time, easy
of transportation, to feed all the poor people
of America.
