River Cotton.
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

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.

I.AUKA BIIIIMIXAM.
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.
