The Wyly brought 11J bales from Bsin- bridge to Columbus, and the officers re port there are now 800 bales at the differ ent landings and it is constantly being conveyed to them from the interior. Our warehousemen expect fully 5,000 more bales by the steamers. The total thuB far from this source shows 11,310 bales which is 4,200 greater than were reoieved last season dnring the same time. The boats have now transported to our city 401 bales more than the whole of the previous year, when after this date they brought 3,808. Famers on the lower river have been extremely luoky. The low river in the fall and early winter prevented them from sending thoir cotton to market which they were very anxious to do. They said bad words but the water would not rise. The river .finally become in splendid boat ing order and with it prices jumped up, and the planters, against their will, richer by a cent and a half to two cents per pound of cotton. Thus thousands of dol lars have been made by the simplest chance. The owners were compelled to hold because they could not get their orops to market. Kinoe November in Columbus the staple has advanced a cent and a half per pound and since that time 5,258 bales have come by the boats—a gain of $89,- 435. Littlo water is a good thing some times. County Finance,s. Muaoogeee oounty owed yesterday about $150—orders passed by the Commission ers on Saturday. The Treasurer,Mr. Tim Murkhnm, was hunting the holders to give them their money. The oounty has $12,000 iu bank, and there is not a note, bond or the least indication of indebted ness against it, except the orders men tioned. Oar taxes are very low, and the Commissioners should inako them still less at the next assessment. Just think of it. About five years ago Muscogee’s indebtedness was some $00,000 and more, and has rebuilt a dozen long bridges. Good management, certainly. Pattor for Thirty-Pour Years. Rev. C. C. Willis has been pastor of Bethel Baptist chnrch in this oounty for thirty-four years and still ministers to the spiritual wants of the people. In tho palmy days of old the Chnrch was one of the most wealthy and prosperous in the State, but tho congregation baa ex perienced the sad reverses of fortune which have attended every Southern com munity. The aged pastor is loved and honored by all who know him, for he is one of nature's noblemen. His long life has been spent in the work of his Master and the endeavor to benefit his brethren. Hia example has taught the charm and beauty of roligiou. Killing of Oats• Farmers report that large areas of oats planted in October and November have been killed by tho intense oold with whioh we have been afflicted. A gentle tleman told us yesterday that he bad planted twice, and both crops have been ruined by frost and freeze. We have seen it stated that the planting with turning plows on strong or bottom lands has been injured little, and that turned in with a brush or harrow has suffered more. The priucipal damage has been effected on the light, sandy soils. The farmers will go at it again as soon as the weather moderates. Oytiert, This business is no light one. Up to December, owing to the shallowness of the river and warm weather, the restau rants were supplied from Savannah and Mobile. Since the oold season com menced large quantities have been re ceived from Apalachicola, whioh furnishes among the very best on tho continent, One dealer told ub that a few years ago he sold 1,000 barrels and last winter 000. This soason the sales have been good. We hear the price now asked and obtained is $2.50 per barrel. Orangea at Low Rates. A number of boxes were sold yesterday at auction. The fruit was slightly dam aged but the largest purchaser reports that three-fourths of the “golden globes" were in perfect condition. Seven boxes sold at forty-five cents per hundred. Before this some no better brought seven, ty-five and sixty cents. The boxes con tained on the average about 260 orauges. Gheap fruit at that rate—ohoioe fruit at half a oent. The fruit just now is not in any great demand. In fact the market ie over stocked everywhere. The Cold Weather, Yesterday morning at 7 o’clock the thermometer stood at fifteen degrees. It has not been notioed to be so low aa this •inoe about twenty years ago, when it wee fourteen degrees. It has stood at eight een degrees several times this winter. Monday night water froze in close room* whioh were kept heated until the email hoars of yesterday morning. Such a oold snap has not been known for many long years aoeording to the experience of one of our old oitizens. Colored Laborers and Wagei. Very few negroes are seen about the city now-a-days. In fact, a smaller Dum ber visit Columbus this winter than the same season since the war. This is owing, probably, to two oauses. One is that a great many emigrated from this section last winter, and another is, as we have heard many farmers say, that their hands are staying with them, and are per fectly satisfied and do not care to move. This is a true indication that they have prospered, or they woald not bo so well contented. Very few are emigrating this winter, bnt many have oome back who went away in the earlier part of 1876. A few have gone from some of the river plantations below, to South Carolina, to work at the turpentine trade. We under stand that all of Mr. James Rankin’s left him after having made contracts to re main this year. Farmers are paying hands $60 to $80 and feed them, and they find no trouble in getting them at these prices Funeral of Mr. Wm. H> Kimbrough.

Business Prospects for 1877, New York Bulletin.] We enter upon 1877 with this backing in our favor. It comprises several facts : (l.) It is reasonable to assume that the process of weeding oat insolvent firms has been well nigh completed; for, al though the failures of the first nine months were unprecedented in number and amount, yet during the last quarter there haB been a marked abatement, and it is very generally taken for granted that, in the nature of the case, this declension will be continued. (2.) The clearing out of a large number of firms who, for the most part, have been competing for business in an illegitimate way, leaves the better ohanoe for those who remain. (3.) We have had generally good crops duriug the past year. (4.) Prices of merchandise, after a protracted and very severe decline,appear to have touched bottom. At least it may be said for the general range of articles that not only are they no longer declining, but on tho contrary, show a decided stead* iuoss and in some cases an upward ten dency. This is important not only as implying that the reactionary tendency that set in with thepanio has abont exhaus ted itself,but also because it leaves a basis for confidence in handling commodities. It may be that the process of deoline has not yet culminated in respect to real es tate, and the same may be true in respect to n class of prodnots least essential in the general consumption of the country ; this remains to be tested; but in respect to the more staple artioles whioh constitute the bulk of our commerce, this position may be maintained with apparent safety. (5) As a rule, the fall in wages appears to have reached the lowest point of de pression ; this at least may be inferred from the fact that, for sume months past, wo have ceased to witness reductions of this kind. The importance of this faot is that a basis has been reached upon which commodities can be produced cheaply enough to meet the diminished purchasing ability of the community, which is oue of the first conditions pre cedent to a revival of productive opera tions. (6) Stocks of merchandise are generally in a very low condition. Even if this were not commonly reported to be the oase, we might safely infer it an inevitable consequence of the stale of things existing for the last three years. Nor does this rale apply to mere mercantile stocks. In all the households and wardrobes of the country there is a comparative exhaustion of accumulated supplies. In oar produo tive establishments, factories, workshops, etc., there has been three years of post ponement of renovations and replace ments of machines, tools and instruments, and on all our railroads also the old ap pliances have been used,as far as possible, in lien of introducing new ones. The process of using the old instead of procur ing the new cannot well be carried much farther. There comes a point at which necossity compels replacement; that point is being reaohed; and once its demands begin to bo responded to, a very impor tant stimulus to all kinds of industry must result.

AN EVENING IN HER HOME—HER WONDER FUL TACT AND INGENUITY. From the Congregationalism] The readers of the CongregaUonalist are of course familiar with the history of Laura Bridgman. Previous to the time when the disease oauie upon her whioh was the cause of her calamity, she had never been well only a very short time, and that just be fore she was two years old. At that age, Dr. Howe informs ns, “the soarlet fever ravaged her system with great fury, de stroying utterly the organs of sight and hearing, blunting the sense of smell end prostrating her whole system so complete ly that recovery seemed impossible. Of her subsequent recovery and wonderful progress under the osre of Dr. Howe, who took charge of her education when she was seven years old, I need not Bpeak. On arriving at the house, we were brought into the presence of a very good looking lady of forty-seven years. Her oonnten&nce was spare, and spectacles covered her eyes from view. Her regular features and tidy appearance would con voy any other impression than that she was the person whose misfortunes have been told in both hemispheres. She arose from her chair and took us each warmly by tho hand as we entered and at once commenced conversation with the remark that she had not expected to tee us that evening, our call being later than was in tended. Let it be borne in mind that she conversed by means of the deaf and dumb alphabet, and that she was addressed by these same characters being made in the palui of tho hand and oommunioatsd to her through the sense of feeling. Knowing that I was a minister, she inquired if I was a Baptist. On my an swering that I was a Congregationalist, sho remarked and repeated, “We cannot commune here, but we oan in heaven.” This remark was probably suggested by tho fact that she had just attended the covenant meeting of the Baptist chnroh, of which sho is a member. It being sug gested to her that the temperature of the room was warm, she went to open the door as readily as any oue oould have done, extending the hand just at the proper time to take the latch. She asked my residence, and whether it was near Boston. Sho also inquired if I had read of her in books. After a few minutes’ conversation she asked if we would like to see her fancy work. I answered in the affirmative; upon whioh she went to a drawer—she could not have gone more diroctly if she had had her sight—and brought a number of articles of excellent knit and crochet work—ladies’ collars, lamp maps, Ac., all of which bore her name and the price of each artiole in her own handwriting. I selected a specimen and a picture of herself, and she at onee knew the amount I paid her from the size of the scrip—remarking that it was new, and making a graceful gesture of thanks. It will be interesting to say that she makes any garment without assistance after it is cut, threading her own needle with her tongue. I asked for her autograph, and she pro ceeded up stairs in the darkness—dark ness to her in any case—and brought her writing implements, among them a small board with grooved lines. These grooves determined tho breadth of the letters she is to make, and their distance apart de termines the distance of the lines. She wrote neatly and rapidly in letters, resem bling the raised ones of her books: “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Her mother romarked that she would writh a letter sooner than she oould her self. When we arose to go she took her watch from li6r belt and told us the time —“three minutes past seven”—by means of the raised figures on the face; and she took us by the hand, which was her way of saying good evening. It is surprising that one who is deaf, dumb aud bliud, whose mind has to be reached mainly through the sense of feel ing, should bo able to oomprehend so readily and express herself so easily. She recognizes those whom she has met be- foro as readily as any one. As might be expected, her emotions all show them selves in her countenance, whether of joy or Badness. The death of her kind friend, Dr. Howe, was a severe blow to her. Such is the appearauce of Laura Bridg man. She has no recollection of sight or sound, as she tells us, yet is able to do each things as I have related, and finds much more to enjoy in life than many who have all their faculties. It is said that she plays skilfully on the piano, though this we did not see. She spends much of her timo nt the institution for the blind, South Boston. Rev. Newton J. Jones.
