Midden Death.
We learn that Mr. John Cokbett, a tnetn
her of the City Police, died very suddenly of
congestive chill, yesterday.
The Assassination of Mr. Sheriff
Ruffin.
The following facts in relation to the
killing of Mr. Sheriff Ruffin, on Tuesday
last, were elicited on the investigation of
the sad affair before Mr. Coroner Rhodes*
yesterday. The deceased, at the time of
the shouting, was engaged in conversation
with two of his Deputies ; in his rear was a
crowd of white persons, when, suddenly,
the report like that of a small cartridge
pistil was heard, and Mr. Ruffin placed
his hand to his back, and exclaimed, “ I
ant hit,” and, staggering, fell into the arms
of Mr. W. W. King, one of his Deputies,
and expired almost immediately. The ball
entered the small of the back, on the right
side, ranging upwards, passed through the
lungs and heart, and nearly out tit the left
shoulder. No clue to the assassin has as
yet, been obtained, which, to say the least
is eery remarkable. But “ murder will
out,” and the cowardly miscreant wifi yet
be discovered and punished.
The Inquest was held at the residence of
the family of the deceased, and a verdict
embracing the above facts was rendered by
the jury, of which Mr. Joseph M. Newby
was foreman.
Mr. Ruffin leaves a wife and several
children in, perhaps, straightened circum
stances.
His Excellency, Gov. Bullock.
The Atlanta Intelligencer, of yesterday .
sits that Governor Bullock and Mr.
livGEN’E Davis, one of the Governor’s
Secretaries, returned to that city yesterday
morning, after an absence of about three
weeks from the Capital. We learn that the
Governor was successful in making satis
factory financial arrangements in New
York for the State of Georgia. We know
no reason why the credit »f the Stale of
Georgia should not be equal to that of any
S ate in the Union.

note the apparent prosperous condition of
the Company; but cannot understand why
the lee for admission to membership has
been increased from six to twelve dollars, or
what it is proposed to do w'ith the additional
twenty-one thousand anti odd dollars to be
thus raised. We feel interested, as a mem

hereabouts, respectfully request to be eff

Grecian Bend.
A Boston exchange, describing a fashion
able wedding, says : One young lady, daugh
ter of a prominent liquor dealer, was an
object of Universal sympathy, and as she
passed up the aisle opinions were divided as
to whether she was about to fall forward on
her face or was only trying to repeat the
infantile achievement of putting her toes in
her mouth. This parabolic and diabolic, I
think I may add, distortion, is getting to be
quite fashionable here. A lady of my ac
quaintance was recently in a dress maker’s
shop when a yonug girl, bent like Goody
Blake in the ballad, entered and desired to
be fitted with a dress. The artiste informed
her that she could not possibly take her
measure while she maintained that attitude.
“ Why,” said the customer, “ I can’t stand
up straight, unless 1 take my straps off.”
The “ straps,” 1 am told, connect the waist
of the bender with her g-rt-rs.

[From the Circular of Wm. Bryce <fc Co.
New York Cotten Review,
New York, October 30, 1868.
General Remarks. —The receipts last, week,
as advised by mail, appear quite liberal, exceed
ing 50,000 bales, and the telegraphic advices
point to a larger total for the week ending to
night. The receipts thus far, although they
appear liberal, are really small, if we consider
how exceedingly forward the season is in the
Southwest; and a careful examination of the
tables will show that all the iner* *ise thus far
this year is at the ports of Galv. tun and New
Orleans. Comparative stateinems of the crop
cun only be made with similarly forward sec
sons, and when this is don* the turn-out prom
ised is insignificant enough R.-tim.:!* of the
crop from the South are rather larger ;his we< k.
owing to the favorable picking weather; at this
point two-anti a quarter to two and a-holf nul
lions of bales seem the favorite gue.- stn*, if the
crop bo counted as it was last year. If t»e as
sume that the American crop will reach tLe out
side figure of 2,509,000 baler, the probable con
sumption of the world bids fair to surpass the
probable supplies. The following table seems
liberal as to the supply of raw material; and wo
think the consumption is underestimated, rather
than overestimated, present prices ruling:
Consumption of the United
States per week 17,000
Consumption of the United
Kingdom per week 48,000
Consumption pf the Continent
per week..... 35,000
Fifty two peeks in ay* ar, 100,060 #,20(1,000
As supplies, we have the following:
* Crop of the United 5tate5...2,509,000
Receipts from India’,soo,ooo
Receipts from Egypt 450,000
Receipts from Brazil., 500,000
Receipts from W. Indies,etv. 5(^000--5,000,000
Leaving a deficit of 200,000
bales to be withdrawn from present stocks. Un
der these circumstances it will be difficult to
make much of a decline, unless it appear that
the supplies will be increased, or the consump
tion diminished. Those events can only foe
brought about by higher prices early in the sea
son. If a shilling per pound bo reached, and
maintained for a few weeks, consumption will be
reduced to a very small figure, and an immense
amount of Surat take to water as soon as packed.
The result will bo that we would find stocks accu
mulating at all the ports, and holders at the
mercy of consumers, who will naturally force
down prices, until increased consumption again
makes a balance of power. We find so strong a
desire among planters to hold their Cotton until
prices are forced up to a point where consump
tion will be checked, that we must call attention
to the probable fact, that by bridging over the
present scarcity, through a reduction of con
sumption, caused by famine prices, they arc
insuring low prices in the Spring, when the
accumulated stocks of American begin to be
counted with the Indian shipments, which will
be heavy in proportion to the dearness of the
staple in Liverpool. The slight frosts which
have occurred in parts of the South have done
little or no damage, and at this period, in con
sideration of the forward state of the crop, we
think but little apprehension need be felt on this
subject.
—When the public debt of the United
States, caused by the rebellion, was at its
highest point, it amounted to nearly one
dollar a minute for the time that has
elapsed since the creation of the world.
According to generally accepted chronology,
it was 4,004 years from the creation to the
birth of Christ; that makes this the year of
the world 5,872. There are 525,600
minutes in a year of 365 days; the whole
number of minutes, then, since the be
ginning is 3,039,019,200—in round num
bers three thousand millions, which is
about the number of dollars of our debt at
its highest figure.
All Quiet.
