- Tho volume of facts concerning
transaction is very great, but briefly, are
follows :
During tho rebel occupation of Georgia,
three parties named Thomas Metcalf,
Win. A. Ileall, and Jeremiah llcull, be
came the joint owners of 0,704 hales of cot
ton, variously stored at Kufuulu,Alabama,
ami Albany and Dawson, Georgia. Ono
of tho parties, Metcalf, owned *1,000 lmius
on his own account, which the rebel Gen.
llill, at Augusta, turned into the street in
a damaged condition. M* tcalf gave a per
son named Geo. Schley one-third of the
cotton to re-hale it ami put it in shipping
order. This cotton Metcalf sold in July
la.-t, through Schley, to John Garsed, of
Philadelphia.
The defendants in this case, Carped and
Seliloy, also claim that Metcalf sold them
7<>0 bales, owned jointly by themselves
ami the two Bealls. This Metcalf denied
at first, claiming that he only gave
the price that it conld bo bought
at at that certain day, for cash, which was
20 cents per pound. Here begins tho in
terest in the case. Garsed and Schley, il
appeals, worked upon the military author
ities and manipulated the mallei so as lu
got certain orders from General SloUuian,
which frightened Metcalf, who i- an
old man, with an agreement to pell tin
cotton lor two hutidr* d thousand dollar,*.
The two Bealls, however, opposed the
sale, ami appealed for an injunction. The
President hearing of this and other case-
of interference on the nurt of the military
authorities in civil affairs, lias issued an
order, which in caustic terms prohibits
such interference hereafter.

Cotton Prospects in the Ouachita
Region.—Tho Monroo (La.) Intelligencer
of the 20th ultimo, says:
Wo have been at some trouble to obtain
an approximate ortimato of tho uumbur of
acres in cultivation in cotton, and tlm fol
lowing in the statement made by intelli
gent obt-ervors in tho respective parishes
naruod :
Ouachita, about 100 bales; Jackson,
about 75 bales ; Claiborne, about 151) bales ;
Union, about 50 bales; Morehouse, about
150 bale?.
it will thus bo seen that tho crop for this
year, throughout all Northern Louisiana,
practically amounts to nothing.
A good deal of inquiry is going on, as
to the prospect of the cultivation for the
next year, and we know of some good
planters who are making their arrange
ments to test thoroughly tho new system
of labor. Among others, our friona, W.
II. Gayle, Knp, so well known for his
business energy nnd capacity, has leased
tho plantations of Mrs. McCJuirouud Judge
Lamy, und proposes to engage in tho cul
tivation of cotton upon a large scale. Wo
know that Mr. Gayle will givo tho plan a
thorough trial, and if any one can succeed
under all the disadvantage* of the present
system of labor, ho will not fail. Many
planters are yet desponding and undeci
ded, and hesitate to risk so much capital
