Tho Curse of Snn iJominjro.
On the shores of Ran Domingo,
Where the spicy breezes blow,
Thro’ the emerald groves of orange
Comes the cry of grief and woe.
Wherefore, ia there grief and sorrow
In this bright and favored land,
That ye dumb as marbled statues,
In the golden sunlight stand ?
We have battled for onr freedom,
And obtained it at great cost;
But great evil from the Northward
Threatens from the land of frost.
See them, mighty iron monsters,
Havering round our blissful shore!
Threatening overy fated moment,
On us to destruction pour.
On onr wives and on our children,
On our homes wo love so well.
We are standing and expecting
For to hear their final knell.
Grant, the potentate of freedom,
On us hath this misery hurled;
By his conduct now proclaiming
Infamy to all tho world.
Come and listen to our story,
Africans of every clime;
Could wo e’er expect such treatment
From this potentate sublime?
ho ! Ms love of filthy lucre
Hath o’croonie him at the last—
Showing with whut paltry meanness
Man, his name ciui over-cast.
May tho woods deny him shelter,
And the verdent oartli a homo!
And tho dust a gravo refuse him.
And his light fail from tho sun I
And in hell Ms feet shall wander,
And e'en heaven refuse her God ;
Bo the ass receives her bridle,
And tho fool roccives the rod.

Within the past two days the cotton
market has rallied from the extraordina
ry depression that has existed, and pri
ces have taken a sharp upward turn.
This improvement, though not unex
pected, seemed ruther doubtful a short
time since, there being not a few who
looked for a very low range of prices
during tho autumn. It is difficult to
determine whether the present advance
will be maintained, at tho moment,
though it seems very probable that la
ter in the season a mweh higher range
for American cotton in the European
markets will be witnessed. Liverpool
will be slow to comprehend the change
in the condition of the crop in the
Southern States. The cll'ect of the
brilliant prospects of July cumiot easily
be eradicated, and from the tenor of
late mail advices there is every reason
to beliveve tho estimates had been gen
erally advanced beyond what might bo
considered reasonable figures, even
under very favorable circumstances,
When we read in the circulars of the
most prominent, conservative, and best
informed operators of the Liverpool
market that the 4,000,000 bale estimate
is losing advocates, it is not difficult
to get the key to the market for the
Inst thirty days. The truth is that Eng
lishmen have been so fooled so often
on crop estimates that they have adopt
ed the rule to make liberal allowances
on both sides, and to bo safe, always
incline toward the ‘bears.’ The tele
graphic receipts at the seaports are
watched with care, and their indications
are given much weight in the solution
of the problem. Now it so happens
this season that the shipments from the
interior are exceedingly lurge, and
therefore, at first view, would seem to
indicate a large, yield.
The very distasers that have short
ened the crop, have made tho picking
easy and of limited duration, and hence
plauters have been enabled to send in
theircrops more rapidly than the previ
ous season. Wherever the worms stripped
the leaves from the plants, all the bolls
have immediately opened so that the
first picking would be very large. The
drouth has had a similar effect. How
ever much plauters may be dissatisfied
with the ruling prices, they are compell
ed to ship to meet their engagements.
The factor requires liberal consignments
to cover the advance during the season
The planter has no moral right to hold
back his crop till he has made his sup
porter comparatively easy. There
can be very little holding ba«&, there
fore, for the present, though it is not like
ly plantations will be swept as clear as
last year.— S. O. Picayune.
A youthfully novice in smoking turn
ed deadly pale and threw his cigar
away. ‘Oh dear,’ he said ‘there’s
something in that cigar that’s matin’
me sick.’ ‘I know wtiat it is,’ said his
companion, pulling away.‘What ?’ ‘To
bacco.’
‘What shall we name our little boy V
said a young wife to her husband. —
‘Call him Peter.’ Oh no, I never knew
anybody named Peter that could earn
his salr. ‘Well call him Salt Peter,
then.’
