A few weeks ago there was great, pgelte- < met t in the cotton market attendm! by an advance in price of rix cents jer pound. A • yrcut nart of the advance then and all of tne excitement were dud to the reports if re duced p'antipj; ntid it jury to the crop by protracted bud weather. Every point un- ! favorable to iuture eupplv from the crop of lsTl was grossly exaggerated. Speculative opinions and rash stt tements of individuals were doubly fortified and supported by un wiranted and absurd sta’ements Irom the Agricultural Bureau at VV'asnington, which i*i Etiffiat and wi re ignorantly supposed to hftv#s rue value. Ooe month of warm. dry. favorable weath er ha* passed, tmd behold, what a change! “0 non has no friends.” is the exprigsive phrase in market. Prices ha v e fallen about two cents, without reviving faith ; the de cline nas rather ir creased the tendency to further depression. The crop story from every quarter comes he’ter and hotter, as if the writers, repentant of folly, would cause its expression to be forgotten. Low esti mates has ceased, as if everybody ut la<t had come to see that they serve no other purpose but to exhibit the fatuity of their makers. Yet there are some opposite facts of the past and present that may be u«pful ly considered Th> cotton c r op of 1870 was very large, unexpectedly so to the ex/erit of 5< 0,00 ' to 700.000 bales, hecaus** of the un parabdled maturing season. The produc tion of other countries was up to its usual average. Tne great trod sudden exee-s in supply depressed the market va'uo ul c >t ton mi the spring to range only about 8 per cent, higher in gold than the average price at the same period in the three years pre eee ling the war. AH other articles e( trade and manufacture (*xc“pt wool, a kindred article) bore values 15 to GO per cent, high er than in 1858 GO. Cotton had fallen too low. It was fairly entitled to an advance of ljd., or 3 cents in gold, to place it upon a level with other commodities, irrespective of any reduction of supply or any further itiCrease of consumption, as compared with the quantities of 1870-1. About one half the advance in May and June was then legitimate (only too early and too rapid ) even with a favorable report ot growing crop. England has had one year of remarkably good business in all branches of her cotton trade. It has been good enough to start new spindles for the • nsuing year England does not set up new spindles, except to re place old ones, in years of unprofitable and “disastrous” hu-iness like 'hat which mark ed the years of 18G4 to 18G9, and they are not well ii f rmed who talk and wr te of the great increase in Bri'ish cotton si indies in those had years Now it is charged The impetus of profit is giv*'n as in 1857 to 1801. and the increase f r the work of 18712 may wei 1 he large. O.i the continent the restraint of war is ended. Spindles lately idle tire in motion again, and new ones are building, under the powerful incentive of profits which, good when cotton was worth 12.1 , have hec .me very good with cotton at 8d ; and the reduction ir» price of cotton, shared in the reduced price of emton goods, has enlarged the market den and for those goods. There is ample reason to suppose that in the average of twelve months from tin* Ist of October next there will he three and one-half to four millions more spind'es in running order than in tfie twelve months preceding. The question will arise, Will trade and consumption take off all the pro duction ofthe spinning power so enlarged? And most men, looking at the abundance and cheapness of money and the ever ex tending areas of trade, will answer, Y r es, if riot prevented* by enhanced prices If so much he true, then the world wants for »he next year four hundred thousand to five hundred thousand hales of cotton in .re, than was required for tin* current year. Whence is it to come? Should the rest of the world keep its supply up to that of 1870-71. our crop would need to he not.only 4.300 000 bales again, bur as much more as the increase in consumption, or else the surplus at the end of next year must fie reduced by whatever our crop fails of that increase. We hazard no estimates of growing crops, but we remember that the extra.odinary yield from the large planting of 1870 was, to the extent of half a million hales at least, due to sueh a season as may not he repeated lor many years. We know that the early st rt of this crop w as under conditions w hich, though grossly exagger ated, were yet unfavorable. It. is for every one to discount fmtn last year’s production so much as to him seems good in arming at a probability for this tear. If Ue crop falls off 600.000 hales—that is, if it turns out to he 3,7>0 00 > hales—and the con sumption itt the world shall he 5U0,000 biles more than this year’s, then it follows surely that the surplus at the end of this year will ho reduced by 1.100,1X4) bales at the end «>f next year. ll<>w much w.-uld that leave to go into the next year. How much would that leave to go into the next year with ? Os course, any statistical problem of this sort is subject to the perturbations of prices of cotton and of goods, stunulati g or re straing action, and therefore the pud must he indefinite. But to merchants and man ufacturers there is matter w >rth thinking of in the imp riant facts that we present and the suggestions thru tfiey earry. We extract ibe following fr. m our ex changes ; “The New Orleans Republican is sarcast ic.

Governor Lindsity ut ChatUnooga. Gov. L ndsay, of A! »bnnii, ha vino arrived in Chattanooga on Wednesday morning, was met. according to appointment, by a large number of creditors, employees, and leading citizens of the place, t> whom he made known Lis views ot the railroad situs ati'>n. As reported by the Times, he thus explained the linbilmos of the Company to the State of Alabama : “The State of Alabama had endorsed the bond' "f this company to the amount ofs4- 720,000 and had loaned her own direct bonds to the amount, of £2.4*00,000 more. Site has a pri. r ben, both by statue and deed, to the amount ul endorsement. Oa the Ist day of January the road was in de fault for the interest on both the end rsed and loaned binds. Alter some delay f>r the necessary legisluriim, the State paid this inteiest, and h is since paid the interest on both classes of b >nds which fell due in July, amounting in all to nearly $6,000,' 00. llis chief object throughout had been to protect the paramount interest of Alabama by lertinj; the company ffo on and complete the enterprise 11“ had ignored‘the charac ter <d the St.iotoos, their ultimate designs, and their honesty nr fidelity. The Governor sta’ed. at some length, the r as ns that bad led him to lose faith in the Stantons, ant] said that having hoc'tne sat isfied that they “were making an effort, and would he successful in completing a sale under the second mortgage, ignoring tlie claims of all other parties,” he conc'uded that “unless prompt action was taken the Stare and all other creditors would lie left out.” Hence, he had directed General Clanton to take charge of the road. He said further : “lit* did not desire to ride rough shod over the creditors. The State claimed the right to take the road hut it did not propose to do S'i by force. He proposed to let the creditors here in Chattanooga appoint their own custodians to take charge of the prop erty. and let it he used on the road, or lie would appoint a receiver to take the proper ty, and give bond for it. lie thought the road in this way would ultimately pay the debt. He thought fie could sell out to morrow to a responsible party who would protect the State and pay the employees, and the greater part of the floating debt. If it was necessary to call* the Legislature together, he w mid do so, hut not unless there was something to be done which he could not do. lie thought he had all nec essary power.” Tlie Approaching Cholera. The steady westward strides of the chol era are now becoming a matter for serious consideration. Its sudden appearance in the Baltic ports suggests the probability that ve may soon hear of it in England, and even on ves-els crossing the Atlantic. Precautionary and preventive measures have no d<*ubt served to check the progress of the cholera on this round, as on previous visitations. But we believe that human means have never yet availed to prevent its running its course around the world. In view of the probability of its early appear ance on this continent, the reports of its progress in Europe are interesting to us. We copy the special dispatch concerning it to the New York Herald : London, July 31. —There is a growing uneasiness in London about the threatened coming of the cholera, which has raged lui more than two years in Russia. The Russian authorities have hitherto withheld publication of all accounts about the ravages of that disease. Letters from Constadt and St Petersburg describe the progress of the cholera as alarming in the extreme. In spite of tin* sanitary measures of the government it is now steadily spread ing; ami has advanced as far as the German frontier. The German government hns quietly drawn a sanitary cordon along the borders of Russia, in order to prevent the cholera from passing the frontier. In spite of these precautions the disease has already made its appearance in all th« Biltic ports. It has also carried « fF many vict ms in Poland whence it threatens to spread into Prussia, Galiicia and Hung try. There are great apprehensions in Eng land that the cholera may advance, as it has usually done, through Germany into Western Europe, including the British Islands. The disinfection of the fields of battle in France is pr igressiog very slowly, and if the disease spreads rapidly it is believpd that the ravages in France will be terrible. These fears are heightened by the pres ent indications that the cholera may come bv sen a- - well, arid the British government has prescribed strict regulations for ships Com ng from the Baltic ports. CasM ß ~f cholera have already occurred in Hull, whither it hail been brought by emigrants fr m North Germany on their route to Anteriorl. Governing W iyr-.—Brigham V >ung has again bpen telling his di-ciples what he knows about wives, and if he is not ns well P'jsti and on that suhj ct as any o her man in America he has been terribly maligned.

When we find an elder »«f Israel do this we fimj plenty ot women who will go along wiih him ” Ihe Ladie-of hie South —A Richmond letter to the O-wego Gaiette says : 1 he young ladies of the South are with very few ex •en'ions, beautiful ;nd we pee no sickly, ugly, or eon-urr.ntive looking females, such as are to he found in the North. They dress in tho rrnst excellent and remarkb e neatness and wo encounter none of the brassy faced and ovetdre-sed girls that confront yon on many occasions at home. The v<>nng gentlemen. hoWetef, are generally ordinary looking in compari son, and dress remarkably plain. Constitutional Amendment—Kate of In teu»t; The Staunton Spectator says: “Amendments to the State Constitution of irginia are effected in this wise: Ihe General Assembly first proposes an amendment, thru the proposed amendment is referred to the General Assembly to be chosen at the next general election, and if agreed to by n majority of the Assembly then chosen, then it wiil be submitted to a vote ot the people, and if approved by a ma jority of their votes it becomes a part of the organic law of the State. It will be seen that to nmend the Consti* tution by adding to or taking from it, three steps are necessary —it must be agreed to by two Legislatures (the second ot which must be chosen after the amendment has been proposed by the fi>st) aid then be ap proved by a majority of tho voters of tho State voting upon the question. I’ho last General Assembly, bv joint reso lution, proposed to amend the Constitution by striking from it that clause which allows 12 per cent, per annum to be charged for the use or forbearance of money. If this proposed amendment be agreed to by a majority of the Legislature to be chos en in November nest, it will then be sub mitted to popular vote, and if agreed to by a majority, the clause referred to will no longer be a part of the Constitution. The rate of interest will then be a sub ject of statute law, as it was before the adoption of the present Constitution. It will then devolve upon the Legislature to fix the rate of interest, or to leave money, liko other things, free to command whatever price the market may afford. The New' Departure.— Judge Craddock, of Kentucky, in a campaign speech recently delivered in that State, said : But I am asked what 1 propose to do with the amendments. I have already said that the amendments must stand or fall upon the question whether they have b**en pro posed and ratified as required by the fifth article of the Constitution. If they have not been so proposed and ratified, then they are not binding. I use the language of the article itself, “they are not binding.” Not binding on the States ; not binding on the functionaries of either the State or Federal Government; not binding on the people, or any one of the people. They are void, not voidable, but void. But if they have been proposed and ratified as required by the fifth article ns aforesaid, then they are bind ing, and as much so as any other part of the Constitution. I am one w ho believes that they were not proposed, not ratified pursuant to the re quirements of the fifth article, and in this I have the concurrence of the whole Demo cratic party —the neW departure men and. all—as well as a large portion of the Radical party ; and so believing, I am not willing to stultify myself by admitting that they are binding as parts of the Constitution. Y am not willing to forestall an examination of the question, even if it could he done, by resolutions or platforms. I am for leaving it open freely to be investigated by any tri bunal having competent jurisdiction of the subject. Ido not propose to set on foot any lawless nr revolutionary modes of resistance to the enforcement of the amendments. That there are peacefully and legal modes of determining the question can scarcely be doubted. It seems to me that this is the true position for the Democracy to occupy. Proposed Monument in Lon Din to Stonfwall Jackson. When the tidings reached England that “Stonewall Jackson” had fallen in battle* there was a profound feeling of regret. Leading men in London set to work at once in order to devise how they could best give an expression of their simpathy tor the cause in which a great and good min had fallen. It was resolved to raise subscriptions in order to erect a monument with an appropriate inscription. Plans were sent in to the committee ; a design selected ; and at last the monument was so far finished as to he taken to Ameri ca in pieces and there fitted. An elpgant railing to protect and adorn the monument was also constructed. Whin all was ready for shipment (it is believed) on acc mnt of strong and some what offensive representations by tho Amer ican Minister then in London* the English authorities put forth strong influence not to send off the monument for the jtresent. These influences at the time prevailed. The packages were taken to an artist’s studio in a back street in London, and are probably there still. A sketch of the monument was given at the tirnein on° of the leading journals, with a severe and withering condemnation of the government, for the mean course they sug gested and enforced. The inscription contained strong expres sion of sympathy on behalf ol the Southern States. facts we learn from a gentleman who wa’B in England at the time. The Louisvilie Courier Journal thus speaks of the wife of Gen. Gordon, when noticing the arrival of our beloved hero : “Gen. Gordon rose rapidly and high in Confederate confidence, but his wile is as remarkable in military annals as many a heroine of olden story. She, with her two boys, in a barouche, followed tho army of her husband, and she was never a hindrance or an embarrassment to his movements. At Winchester, in the Valley of Virgina, when, T'»r the first time, his troops fell hack before vastly superior numbers, she, who was sup poi>e«T by tier hu-b tnd to be thaoy miles in the rear, happened to he in the town, and saw the critical condition of the Confeder ate cause. She deeended from her carraig", and amid.-t the rush of retreating men, tne bursting of shells and the whiz of bullets, se z- 1 hold of the very pers ins of soldiers, and turned th»-m hack to the fight. Her resolution, coolne-s, and heroic spirit rallied hundred*, and returned them to her hus band at the front. The incident was known aM over \ irginia at the time, and in the army.” An exchange s.i>s: uie wav must be discovered whereby the cost of gnyernirig the propie shall be reduced, e’se we shall become over tnfed and bankrupt.” It is not the cost of governing the people that ia likely to bankrupt us. It is the cost of the rase itifv •>{ those who do tho governing.— Coiir ier- Jo urn xl. NO. 3(L
