The consumer of cotton fabrics is now
compelled to pay exorbitant ptices over
ivhat he paid iu 1860, because cotton is
now worth from forty cents to uie dollar
and fifty cents per poutid, wide in 1860

to
high prices of cotton is to be fund in the
fact that since 1860, when the product of
that year in those States auounted to
over 5,000,000 bales, the amoutt produced
has been nominal; and so of al oilier pro
ductions of those States. Ant yet their
capacity to reproduce the crop of i860 is
not diminished, except in the disorganiza
tion of their industrial system. Tie econo
mists of the North, who have pail but lit
tle attention to this question, wll he as
tonished at the immense productions of
those States in 1860, as showi by the
eighth census reports:
AI.AIUVA.
Alabama had under cultivation 6,385,-
72 4 acres of land and producer:
Gotten, hales 989.1155
Corn, bushels 33,226,292

Live stock, value $43,411,711
.Slaughtered animals, value. $1U.(H)0,U0U
Butter, pounds 0,U28,47;s
duito action upon this question cannot be
over estimated.
Tills industrial question of the South is
also very intimately connected with the
curretH-v and finances of the country. Of
the 5,386,897 bales of cotton produced in
1860, not over 1,500,000 bales were con
sumed in this country, leaving for expor
tation, 3,886,897 bales, which at ten cents
per pound, furnished $155,475,880 to sup
ply the place of specie in our foreign ex
change, and which, if produced this year,
at the present prices, say forty cents per
pound, would supply the place of $621,-
903,520 in specie, which now goes to pay
for importation.
from the South approve of the main fea
tures of the bill: i
An Act to provi.le fvr the orpin:/alion oT govern
ment for the States heretofore iu rebellion.
Pc it enacted by the St'mlc and House of
Tiejircsentalives of the United States of Ame
rica, in Cmigres* assembhd, That in order
to enable the peopity-tU-Tho States hereto
fore in rebellion to resume their relations
to the Federal Union, a Governor shall he
appointed by the President, by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate, for
each of the said States, to-wit: Virginia,
North Carolina, Smith Carolina, Georgia,
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
The balance of trade must be paid in j Texas, Tennessee, and Arkansas; and the
specie, unless paid in cotton, which is t
Europe the same as specie; and if that ad
ditional amount of specie could be retain
ed at home, it would tend greatly to
f the gov
ernment, and probably avoid altogether
the much dreaded, but confidentially ex
pected financial crisis.
^.Of the 22,443,897 acres if cultivated
lands in the above mentioned States, pro
bably not over one-half has been cultivat
ed this year, and cannot he cultivated for
years to come without the aid of capital
and labor, to be drawn from beyond their
limits.

which is a government of perpetual union
I will observe and abide by all enactment
of the Congress of the United States, and
Proclamations of the President, made since
the beginning of the rebellion with refer

aiding and participating in the formation
of a State Government, loyal to the U. S.
and republican in form, under at d in ac

Worm Knowing.—The following, from
tho Treasury Department, touching upott
a really important point, should be known
and remembered among business men
generally:
"Tp.EASURT DurARTMETS, J

"Washington, Oct. 27,1865. )
“ Sir: Iu reply to your letter of the 18th
inst., that if a note secured by mortgage
is negot iable, and the two instruments ar*
transferred by a mere endorsement of the
note, no stamp is required. See section
169, Revenue l^vr.
“If the extension of the time for thO
payment of a note is not in writing, no ad*
ditional stamp on cither instrument is
necessary. If, however, a, note is renew*
ed by giving a new note, the renewal
must he stamped with a stamp *appro*
priate to tlie amount of the renewal, tho*
the mortgage is not subject to a further
stamp duty. If the time of payment is
extended by virtue of a written agree*
merit, a stamp must be fixed appropriate
to the agreement.
“ Yery respectfully,
“ 1). C. Whitman, Deputy Coms’r.
Turn Love.—An editor of a gazette re*
lutes that on visiting a coal mine, and
seeing near him a woman with two small
ehildrcn scarcely three years old, one on
each side of her, he pilt his hand oh the
child nearest him, anti inquired of her, “is
this your child?” “ Yes; I have three ol*
der and two younger.” Taking a smalt
piece of money from his pocket, he was
about giving it to the child nearest him,
when the mother directed his hand and
give it to the other. Not this one” said
she, “ not this one, if you please—this t*
mine—give it to the other. Poor little
Mary is an orphan. She stays with us
and we do the best for her we can, but
she is still an orphan ”
What a lesson of henevolcnco this fur
nishes for tlie times! Let that parental
pride that would hoard up for its offspring,
learn from this good woman to direct the
giving hand to the orphan and the death
tute, that now so crowd the land.
Fndurance ok Different Types of Me*
as Soldiers.—A correspondent writes: “In
the army and among returned soldiers, I
have noted one fact, in particular, some
what at variance with the usual theories.
It is that light-haired men, of the nervous
sanguine type stand campaigning better
bilious type. Fee that eame regiment On
its return for mustcr-otit, and you will find
that the Mack-haired clement has melted
away, leaving at least two-thirds, perhaps
three-fourths, of the regiment to be re-
niesented by red, brown and flaxen hair,
if is also noted that men from the cities,
slighter in physique and apparently at
the outset unable to endure fatigue and
privation, stand a Severe campaign much
better than men from the agricultural di3*
ti ids.
Wiiat is an Inch of Rain?—The last
weekly return of the British Registrar
General gives the following interesting
information in respect to rain falls
“Rain fell in London to the amount at
0.33 inches, which is equivalent to 48

To Uor Murphy, Little Pock, Ark.:
There will be no interference with yonr

I have learned from E. . Gantt, E'Q-.

well and vou will proceed and resume the
former relations with the Federal Govern

State to its former relations.
Andrew Johnson,

A gentleman from Appomatox court

Gen. Magruder has taken the oath of
allegiance to the Mexican Imperial Gov
ernment.
m< SEC. 5- And he it further enacted, That
as soon as a lull opportunity shall have
been given to all qualified persons to reg
ister themselves as voters, the Governor
may if the number thereof be not less
than three-fourths of the number of votes
cast in the State iu the Presidential elec
tion of 1860, call a convention which shall
he apportioned among the several coun
ties according to tlie number of qualified
voters as shown by the several registers-
The number of members of the Convention
shall be fixed by the Governor, hut shall
not be less than the number of members
of the last legislature on joint ballot., A
majority of the whole nuqiber shall, be
necessary for a quorum. The Convention
shall draft a Constitution to be submitted
to the qualified voters for ratification.
So soon as the Congress of the U. States

Certificate of Good Character. Evcrj*
citizen should lend his aid to inaugurate a
custom of requiring a certificate of good
character from every negro that
make application for employment. Iftbfl
negro is tlie least censured or moderately
complained of for misconduct, the^ firs $
thing thought of is to change tnaljteM,
just°for spite, as they say. NoWff th*
citizens would determine for their mutual
good to require every negro to produce ft
certificate in writing from his former mas
ter before he gets employment, it would
greatly tend to moralize that class. Thift
is one thing the citizens can do for them*
selves. This system is rigidly adhered to
in Virginia throughout the State, and they
are now reaping very salutary benefits
for their early precaution on this subject.
Look out for your Valises.—A new en
terprise has been started by the profes
sional thieves who “ work” the railroad
cars. When a train arrives at a stopping
place, these fellows are on the watch for
valises or carpet bags Iji on se ? t *
or hanging odr the books, jmt not under
the eves of their owners.
When the car#
had urgent business, and jump off the
cars We have heard of two such cases
Tf’- a f PW days. Jt is evidently a fle#r
dodge of the thieves, and will be t' eapd ^ f
all over the country until exposed by the
•wsnapers. Book out for them. ,
