from the quarantine station last evening, re
ports twenty-nine deaths from cholera and
thirty-four new cases- among the troops on |
Ty bee Island from nine o'clock on Monday j si ami.-illy f direct
morning 1o six o’clock yesterday afternoon
We learn from another reliable source that
there were on Monday eight deaths and five
new cases, deducting which from the above
report would leave twenty-one deaths and
. twenty-nine new cases yesterday showing
that the disease is on the increase, instead of
declining, as we were led to believe by the
report furnished us on Monday evening.
We are gratified to learn that no case ha 1
made its appearance among the passen
on board the Sian Salvador at quarantine
It is proper that we should state for ti
information of the public abroad that the
disease is confined entirely to the troops i
cently landed from the steamer San Salvadoi
on Tybee Island, who biought it with timm
from Governor’s Island, New York. No ca:—j
have occurred on board the steamer since
tlxeir removal to the main land. Tin-

estimates are most variant and conflicting,
\ there are fo many causes in operation to dis
turb the ealculatious of the most sagacious
i and far seeing, that none hut the most
: distant approximations are attainable: 1. The
! uncertain results of labor ; 2. Defective seed;
Drought, are the causes which concur to
; render the crop of trie present season above
i every other that has preceded it, combined
I with the no less uncertain sources ol supply,
open to doubt as to the ruling prices of cot-
i ion throughout the season. It seems to be
the general impression that cotton will not
rule beyond 25 cents per pound, and the
j average price at about 22 cents. The two
controlling elements are, of course, the ex
tent of the supply, and the stock at all the
poits of consumption.
On the first of these heads, the extent of
the supply, the estimates embrace a varia-
j tiou oi one milliou bales, the highest estimate
j beidg two millions of bales, and the lowest
i one milliou. VV'e are inclined to a medium

• REMINISCENCES UP CHARLESTON..’
We have on our table a neatly prinb d
book, of one hundred and filty pages, style.;
“Reminiscences ot Charleston,' the author
of which is the venerable J. N. Caido/o, one
of the associate editors of this paper. Mr.
Cardozo, who has been justly called the
Nestor of the American press, lias been a
resident of trie City of Charleston for a ;
period of sixty years, iiaviug settled there in j
the year 1796. and left in April 1801. Hi- j
connection with the press of that city dal,
The present stock of cotton at all the
i ports aggregates about 400,000 bales;
that, supposing that there should he 125,000
i bales still in the interior, we have a-total sup-
: ply for the remaining three months of about
1525,o0o hales. Our own spinners maybe
! supposed to require, say 15,000 bales per
! week, or at the utmost not over 200,000
hales of this amount : and the object ot chief
I interest is How tar will the balance, after
allowing lor moderate stock at the close of
the year, suffer for the want of foreign spin
ners. The condition of the British market
is deserving of special notice On the loth
of May the combined stocks of London and
New York amounted to 928,422 bales—in
addition there was afloat for these ports
135,i 00 hales of American and 711,000 bales
of Indian—making a total supply of 1,785,-
080 bales. Now, deducting from this amount
say half a million of bales as the ordinary
stock at the close of the cotton year, there
would remain for consumption and export
i'.ooii hales per week until the 1st of Sep-*
ternber, or nearly 40,000 bales per week in
excess of the average sales for consumption
and export at Liverpool since January 1st.
ft appears, therefore, that the Liverpool
market is lining so heavily crowded with
cotton, it can he of no serious consequence
to the British cotton trade that our supplies
me lieiug rapidly exhausted, unless they
need a larger proportion of the long staple
cotton than they are receiving. Without as
suming any immense receipts at Liverpool
from the present time to the close of the cot-
tan year, il would seem quite probable that,
on the 1st ot September, the stock at that
port u ulil not stand below one million of

From these data the reader can determine
for himself, whether 20 or 25 cents, or nDV
price between these extremes will be the
ruling price. It is the opinion of competent
as far back.as 1817, when he, as the editor j judges that if the supply reaches two millions
ot the Southern Patriot, commenced his of bales the price will not exceed 20 cents

the work by those who have read it.
Charleston has of late years become a his

past or present condition is of an interest to
be eagerly sought for by Southern readers
generally. The author, appreciating this
fact, has appended a full and interesting
statement of all the incidents of the late war
which occurred in and about Charleston.

T HE. DISRUPTED cabinet.
Il is generally believed at Washington that
the President will so far reconstruct his Cabi
net as to place it in complete harmony with
his well known views upon the gteat ques
tions now agitating the public mind. The
reorganization oi the Cabinet will be attended
by another good result. It will cause the
two branches of the Republican party to
abandon all equivocation concern - ! ng tho issue
between them, and appear distinctly before
the people in their true colors. It is true
that most of the Radicals have not hesitated
to avow their autagonism with the Presi
dent. and to renounce political affinity with

have offered military assistance. Cases are

The recent caucus at Washington, the pro

That the reconstruction of the'Cabinet has

shown by the decided stand now taken by

and influence, which, although sustaining

hope of restoring harmony in its ranks. But

THE DIFFERF..U E OF.TYVKEft AN
AFRICAN AND A WHITE MAN.
I notice in this mornings issue of the “ Savannah
Republican” the following paragraph:
In the case cf William Dean, who was convicted in
a Michigan Circuit Couri, for illegal voting, on the
ground that he was not a white man, because he wa9
adjudged to have one-sixteenth of African blood in bis
veins, the Supreme Court have rendered a decision to
the effect that persons with only one-fourth negro
blood should be regarded as white. This decision is
opposed to the received interpretation derived from
the Southern whites, thai a single drop of negro blood
works a taicture of race.
The last three lines of the above article are simply
false; but the publication of them by the “ Savannah
Republican” is in keeping with its past course, in eu
deavoring to slander and malign the opinions and
feelings of the people of the South in regard to the
negro race.
By the sixteen hundred and hrst section of the Code
of x Georgia, a mulatto^is defined to be “ one in whose
veins there is at least one-eighth of negro blood,” en
titling any one under an eighth to the rights of a
white citizen.
If common rumor be true, it is this section of the
code which entities tbe proprietor of the - Republi
can to claim exemption from ” tainture of race.”
