E. MORGAN A SON FURNITURE, ( At His old Staud.V _ , v v r u u u A a m . 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 Sweet potatoes, bushels.... 5,431),917 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.

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 “ Oukice ok Internal Revenue, >- "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.

Andrew Johnson, President of the U. S.

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.
