The Savannah News 6ayn an entry will be made at the Fair to be hold in that city on the 17th, of a large case containing over one hundred ancient and curious coins. A whit of injunction has been issued against the Coast Line Railroad at Savannah, In a penalty of flvj thousand dollars, prohibiting it from laying a hor.-e mil road tiack any or o’, her track on Broughton street, in 'hat city. The Home Courier says: Mr. R. W. Whitehead oi Polk county, ginned from 1084 pounds of seed cotton, 485 pounds of lint. This was accurately weighed in and kept distinct lrcm all other. This Is the largest yield of lint we ever heard of. Can any one beat it ? The grand jury of Polk county have this to say Hat I niton Touched Bottom. Norton, Slaughter <fc Cos , cotton brokers of New York, issue the following circular on the very important and vital question of the price of cot ton: It seems to us that cotton, if not at “the bottom.’ is so nearly so that the purchase of lnt ure deliveries, say Jauuary, February and March, can rcarce'y fail to pay a good profit. The panic has now prevailed fo* forty days, during which time cotton has suffered the depression conse quent upon the locking tp of the greenbacks all over the country, and more recently the still more di-astrous con?equenct of large commercial fail ures and the stoppage of at least one half the spin dles employed in Its consumption in this country. That a decline should result under thia state of things is most natural, but It does not follow that cotton has no stopping point, and no price at which investments may be tempted. We always be lieve In buiiugat “panic prices,” and especially any article below the cost ol production, and we cannot see why parties who in former years bought cotton so freely at about twenty cents should now hesitate to buy at a little over half that price. If is expected by our shrewdest financiers that mon ey will accumulate in the banks and in the hands of private capitalist to such an extent duiicg the next sixty days as to become a drug, and go beg ging for investment. The stoppage ofbnsiaess to ao large an extent will necessarily produce this re sult, and our banks and capitalists will grow tired of receiving no incomes, and the whole machinery of tiade and manufacture be set in motion by fiee offerings of money. Our American spinners, by their temporary stoppage, will greatly redute the stock of goods, and will be able before very long to resume work at healthy prices for their goods, and with easy money will seek to secure a supply of good cotton for their and summer en i gagements. This, with reduced planting, will bring Englieh buyers in competition with American spinner?, and with the aid of a large , short interest which speculation w ill surely create, will no doubt advauce prices in February or March to very remunerative figures. Those who expect lower prices and want to get in at “bottom.’’ will doubtless fail to get in on as favorable terms as those who commence now, and we do not hesitate i to council our fi ieuds to make a beginning at pres ent prices, and if a further decline, (which cannot be much, it any,) then to average down with double the quantity. Don’t forget that it is tie law of nature for one extreme to follow another, and as we have been running to a point of extreme de pression, we may soon expect a reflex action that will restore values to a more reasonable basis. Our people are not “ broke,” and ewinot be to any general extent while every portion of our wide domain is teeming with the products of the rich est soil on earth; and, as during the war, and all other periods of depression, we will recover from the present panic to find that we are still the most properous people on the globe. It is simple folly to think that cotton, or anything else, will shrink to nothing, and we will stake our rep utation on the wisdom ol our advice in corn menting a speculation in cotton at about present prices, say for December and January 18 cents, February 13% cents, March 13% and April 14 cents. The Acquisition cf Cuba.— The elections are over for this year, the times are exceedingly hard, and there isn’t, apparently, very much to live for. It occurs to us that we might as well proceed now to carry out a6cheme very dear to the Amer ican heart. We allude to the acquisition of the Is land of Cuba. We are not troubled about Cuba because we lack elbow-room, because wejthink the Island should be made a part of the United Slates, and because It would certainly be an Act of taum&Dity to put a stop to the slaughter which has been needlessly going on there for the past four or five years. The Spanish Republic is a myth. It is a failure, and even If it was not, it is little better than despotism. The Cuban patriots have no more disposition to take up with the bastard Republic than they had to endure the rule of Ama dsus. What they want is free Cuba ; they don’t want Spanish domination in any shape. The Span ish auDiorities on the Island arejust as cruel and NEW ADVERTISE! T V T3 HEM O V AL! rJTm OVA L!
