We need a general financial resuscitation. The Incoming Cotton Crop. There in Mill an unaccountable difference of opinion relative to the result of the American cotton crop. The commonly received opinion in America, baaed on the moat reliable statistics, places the incoming crop at 3,800,000 to 3,750,- 000 bairn. Some not so Rang nine, claim that in terested parties are overestimating the yield in the name manner an last ymr,und that 3,500,000 will about tnet up the total receipt*, when the cotton year will bavo expired. The considerble weekly fallings off in receipt# at the porta, ia in favor of the shorter estimates; and this early in the season ia alarming. Wc do not think it correct to bane onr esti mate* on the enormous receipts of the crop of 1870, lor in the entire cotton section it is rarely the case tliat climatic condition* arc so favorable to a monster yield. The receipts the iwwt sea* i mv „ ),fon mibot spasmodic, indicating a necessity on the part of many planters, to sell, while others held reserve for more remunerative prices. If the weekly receipts continue to de crease, the outside limit the entire crop may reach will bo 3,500,000 bales, which we think a full estimate, throwing the large receipts in the early of the season out of the question. Now let us sec what supply is needed by Eng land and the Continent, the latter inareasing her purchases the present year 100,000 bales more than lust, her spinners giving preference to American staple over any other. The actual consumption of American cotton the post two yean has been 860,000 bales per annum; this year the figures will reach 960,000 bales, of which 850,000 bales were taken direct from America, and 100,000 from Great Britain. The entire American consumption of cotton is put down at 1,300,000 hales; so, deducting this from the estimat' and crop of 3,750,000 bales,and count ing 100,000 as export t<* the Continent, England will have only 1,600,000 to satisfy her commer cial demands lor the next ygyr, thus allowing herself only 30,000 bales per week, with 40,000 at the end of the year to carry over to the next year’s operations. Now if wc accept the esti mate, w hich is much more reasonable, of 3,500,- 000 balcs.it is quite evident that as America will take her usual amount, if at on Lanced figures, Great Britain will be short of the American sta ple before the next crop cun come to her relief. Taking these facts as thu results of carefully prepared statistics, they indicate rather an ad vance in prices than a decline in present figures. [communicated. ] Mr. Rlitor: The result of the late senatorial contest is a convincing proof that the end is not yet of mar vels in politics. We doubt not that two thirds of the Democratic voters of Georgia heartily de sired the election of the Hon. Mr. .Stephens above any other person in the State, but were too apathetic to instruct or to direct their repre sentatives, of which they are even now, us often heretofore on like occasions, deeply regretful. Indeed, l um not sure that our old political ser vants have not become in these revolutionary times our masters, and are quite indifferent to the preferences of the people in those mutters. It has become to l>e regarded an unpardonable insult against the dignity of those in office to suggest to them a policy satisfactory to our selves, and the practice is, and from custom perhaps it bo law, to submit our dearest interests wholly to the keeping of party loaders whose superior wisdom they themselves attest by virtue of their offices. The source of power is no long er to be sought among the people but surely among the leaders of the people who make and unmake creeds ami compel belief and worship. They combine and resolve; form, reform and de- I form aurestraintdly, just u* they think meet to j prosper their personal interests, without fore thought or afterthought of the public welfare. Paradoxical though it seem,the people arc lit tle loss than unanimous in their distrust of these leaders and strangely withhold a vote of confi dence in them, yet they blindly follow and sus tain, and are ruled and ruined by them. In no other way can it be accounted for, that constitu ents arc without influence in shaping legislation and are without power to reward their faithful and worthy servants with promotion, when their representatives only, use the ballot I would not detract in the least from the glory of the gal lant Gordon whose valor and high military ge nius was illustrated on a hundred battle fields, but 1 submit if there bo doubt in the minds oi the intelligent men of Georgia it they believe him, or any other, the peer of the matchless Ste phens in statesmanship. It was our groat mis fortune, it notour groat shame that w lost the opportunity of giving a leader to the Senate, when wo are so confessedly needful of what a leader thou might do lor us. We cannot undo it now, however desirable, but may we not pro fit from such bitter experience by resuming our sovereignty in these matters, without which we arc certain to be afflicted with like Uisapj>oiut meuts in future. Cato. Atlanta, Jan. ‘24. Governor Smith has or dered an election to bo held in the Eighth Con gressional District on the 26th of Febuary, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Gen. A. It Wright. Bill ron Paying the Public Debt. After considerable discussion, yesterday, says the Con stitution, a bill won passed in the Senate, intro duced by Senator Brown, to prescribe for pay ing off the public debt. The bill applies the entire proceeds and net im-v' me o* *' 1C ,Wi fuxul to W off tii* public deck Au-r April, every monthly pay ment of 25,000 rental b* t# be used to buy, at the lowest price, the bonds of the State the bonds to be cancelled mid destroyed. The main objection urged to the bill waa that it diverts trorn the school fund the half ot the State Hoad rental now* applied thereto. Senator Brown has introduced another bill which provides that all bonds bought and can celled shall be substituted by new bonds pay able to the second fund, due one hundred years alter date, bearing seven jht cent interest The bouds shall not ba sold but deposited in the treasury, and the interest bo paid for the sup port of the schools. We agree with the Senators, McAfee, Jervis, Aruow and Cam opposing the bill, that the di version of the school money is wrong. We be lieve nothing should tamper with this sacred fund. We hope th© Senate will reconsider the measure to allow time and opportunity for a fuller discussion of the important matter. European Correisponclenee July, 1872.

There are three routes you can travel, via Dover and Ca lais, falkstous and Boulogne and Southampton. There are three classes j on can travel; first, sls; second, $lO, and third. $5 all in gold. We took the latter for the same reason the “Bishop of York’* did, once, when coming to London— the third class,because there w as no fourth. It wus night when we left London, at Char ing Cross station, and by the time we bad fall en into a sweet repose, we were suddenly aroused by a strange voice. ‘Hello,’says I, ‘what’s the matter ?” “Changer pour le bateau, Mon sieur.” What a strange sensation came over us when this Frenchman told us to change cars for the boat We gathered our satchel and started for the boat, when that foreign lingo turned loose on us again; “Arreter, Monsieur, arreter ! Votre chapeau." We looked around and discovered he hod our two-story Greeley hat we hod accidentally lelt ou the front seat. We felt we weie approaching anew country, and a people who spoke a different language from our own. We had arrived at Falkstone on the English Channel, liurvey, the discoverer of the circula tion of the blood, was bom here. We must now bid adieu to England. It is 29 miles across to lai belle France, and in two hours, we are land ed at Boulognfe, (Banner) This is an old city containing a population of 40,000 inhabitants, situated near the sen,upon the English Channel. Napoleon the First once fitted out at this point to invade [England, and Napoleon the Third was held sometime here,as a prisoner. The upper town commands a magnificent view of the adjacent country. Boulogne is a tine fish market and inhabited largely by English people. As we approach Amiens, w® see hundreds ot men and women engaged in harvesting th® wheat and oat crops. As many more are employed in cutting out blocks of swamp muck,(decayed veg etable matter) and hocking in piles or rows, like brick to facilitate the process of drying. When these blocks are dried, they are hauled home or to market and sold like wood, for fuel. There is no wood or timber in Europe, like wc have in Georgia. The whole country is cleared and tax ed to its utmost capacity, to support the millions of bumun beings who struggle* for existence- The appearance oi this portion of Fmuce is low and undulating and the lands are not cultivated as well a they might be. But as we near the old city of “Amiens” famous for the Treaty and u* being the birth place of Peter the Hermit, who accompanied the first Crusade, the country grows more interesting. Aiuiens contains a population ot 50,000 inhab itants, and amohg its in out noted humbugs, the (jenuiue head of John the Baptist. It was at this city, during the late war between France and Prussia, Ganibetta descended in a balloon bear ing dispatches from Paris. In a few hours we are in Paris, lovely Paris, the Queen of beauty and the pride of the world. About 1100 octroi or custom house officers are employed in examining baggage. The following are contraband and pay duty: Wine, brandy,to bacco, cigars, beer, sausages, Ac. We didn't have either, but we were moch amused at onr Illinois friend, who had his trunk torn all to pieoes, and the same officers would not let us open ours. He swore at them in English, but they did not seem to bo <{fended. Illinois don't understand, to this day, how it was they would not examine our baggage. We jocosely told him, those Frenchmen were too sharp they knew he was u Yankee. Wo take a cab and drive to the Hotel do I'Athoiuse, situated opposite the Grand Opera House. J. B. G.
