Their Groene ttioei, near the The Aqe of Disfranchisement.— TUtoJs emphatically the pge of dUffftnehin ment, and the Radical Legislature of ,Teq* ( ncssee, acting iu full accord witl> tact ical Congress ut Washington City, is well up with the ago. It has passed an infamous bill, by which . two-tb\rds of the vote/s of West Tennessee have been disfranchised— that is to swy, all who have borne arms against the United States Government, or Voluntarily aided, counselled, countenanced, or encouraged in any way, the late rebel lion : also, all, Who have held office under the Confederate Government or State Gov> eruments thereof, or given any money in aid of said Government. It is thus that the car of juggernaut roll* over the un happy South, crushing beneath its mighty weight every principle of justice, of right, and of freedom, aye, even tho Constitution itself. Thus it is that Brownlow, the By on-* nisius of the West, triumphs in his moan malignity, aud binds his State, hand and foot, to Radicalism and injustice. But, patience, people of Tennessee! patienco people of the South! the day of retribution must cotub at last. Tho good sense, the sober second thought of tho American people, will at- length awaken; and when the lion shakes off his slnmbor, and arouses himself in bis might, traitors, disorganizers, tram piers upon Constitutional liberty, may well tremble, for the day of their'doom will have come. They will then be crushed to atoms, and Liberty, guided by reason aud justice, will resume its mild and benignant sway over a once more peace ful aud happy land. Until then, patience !

Histo rians have traced its genealogy as far back as when Noah housed his family in tho ark. After the flood, its ancestors were invaluable to the human racd, as public benefactors— having at one time furnished the children of Israel with sustenance, enabling them to make the perilous journey to the Red Sea. Two members of tbo satno family fed an army of Philistines, and furnished a suffi cient quantity of leather to supply an Egyp- ! tian army with shoes. In after years the j horns from one of these animals furnished smoke stacks for the first steamboat that plyed the Mississippi, and its bones wero exhibited by Barnuin us the skeleton of a Masterdom. The animal which will be ex hibited to-day was raised by a Kentucky farmer, considered a “lovely pet,” and there fore received every attention, the princi pal one, that of being “stall fed.” Being in rather cm&arassed circumstances, pecuniary considerations forced him to part with re nowned “kph,” who has, for a number of years, been considered tho “Prize steer Kentucky.” t Augusta Market Augusta, Ga., May 11, 1866.

Our last Weekly Report, of Friday morning, May 4th, closed on a somewhat unsettled market, but with a firm feeling on the part of holders, at 25 to 28c. for Middling to Good Middling. A better feeling prevailed at the opening of the present week, in consequence of more favorable advices from the European markets, and on Monday last, 7th instant, there M-ns a fair inquiry, and hold ers realized about one-half cent advance on the above quotations. Since Monday, however, up to the present time df writing, there has not been so much inquiry, the European udvices not proving so favorable in their details as the impression first conveyed, and our report closes on a dull market, at about the same quotations as last, though more defined and regular, viz.: Middling 26 a Strict Middling 27 a Good Middling 28 a 29 Wholesale Price List.

VVk Diuke the following extracts from the Weekly Cotton Cii»«l» r of Win. Bryee i, Cos., CottonJ Factore, ’29 Chambers street, J>’ew York: Aew York Man 4M, IS«7/-£loce our last Circular, dated the 26th April, was issued, wo have received Liverpool advices by tho fjeotia to the Ist ult. The report of the week shows an Irregular market, on whioh was brought to bear the most depressing innuonces j.yot an advance of a penny Ua a penny and farthing over tbo extreme point of depressioc was established and main tained. The receipts of the week tfere enor mous, amounting to 191,927 bales, of which 45,048 boles were American. 20,430 bales of this description of cotton were taken to the mills, more than fifty per cent, of the week’s consumption, which amounted to 39,860 bales of all kinds. The stock has run up to 819,890 bales of all descriptions, of which but 830,060 bales are American, a small percentage when the proportion of this variety to the entire consumption be considered. A most depressing combina tion of circumstances weighed down on the week; the Bullion in the Bank decreased £345,006 —a feeling of distrust pervaded the commercial community, and the failure of Barned’s Banking Company, with liabili ties to the amount of £3,350,000 served to intensify rather than allay such feelings. The Austro-Prussian difficulties kept assum ing more and more the appearance of war until late on the last day, when the happy rumor was made current that it had been agreed between the two Powers to mutually disarm. The effect of this rumor was to render the market more buoyant toward the close, and we quote 14f pence for Mid dling Uplands; Orleans a half penny dearer. Our own market for the week has been almost torpid. A wide discrepancy prevails between the views of buyers and those of sellers, and in our opinion we shall not have an active market until the effect in Liver pool be known of the news of our decreased stock, diminishing receipts and discourag ing advices from the South. The quota tions we subjoin are reliable, and based on actual sales and not on newspaper reports. Middling Cottons are scarce and command relatively higher prices than do the lower grades. The speculative operators of onr market have been industrious in their search for lots pressed for sale at rates below those current, and we have not observed as at all abundant contracts for future delivery at present prices, which for sometime past have flooded our market, and kept spinners supplied without their coming directly on ’Change. The general impression seems to be that we are about “on the bottom,” unless the Aifstro-Prussian affair should eventuate io war, or some other, unlocked ior circum stances happen. The offer has been made by parties of abundant ability, to buy all tho Middling Cotton in New York at 31c. From the South our advices for tho week are particularly discouraging, the bad seed seem not confined to any particular section, but from all parts come complaints on this point. A severe storm passed over parts of Carolina and Georgia during the past week greatly damaging what young plants had come up, and necessitating the re-sowing of entire fields. L T nless the season be a very long one, and the rest of it’ very favorable, we think our estimate of 2,000,000 of bales will scarcely be reached; and we do not think it will be exceeded under auy circum stances whatever. The unfortunate and unsettled condition of our National affairs is acting as more of a drawback on the production of Cotton than is generally sup posed. A feeling of distrust pervades the South—a feeling incident to being governed by laws in tho making of which she had no hand —to paying taxes on which her opin ion was never asked, nor her voice heard in debate. These and similar anomalies in a Republican form of Government deprive men of that feeling of perfect security which is indispensable to the successful prosecu tion of every peaceful enterprise. Tho five ceut tax on Cotton has not yet become a law, and we sincerely trust that it will re main a Bill before tho House till that House becomes indeed the House of Representa tives of the United States, and ceeses to be the more political headquarters of a fanatic faction. Taxation without representation was in this country once declared a casus belli, and remembering this, the existing state of nffairs seems even more puzzling, wl on 0!- • branch of the Govcrnmcntaccepts taxes from States which another branch of the Government declares not to exist as such.
