Tne Chronicle's weather telegrams In
dicate rainless weather for the week in
Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. In
Alabama and Georgia it was showery.
Both corn'and cotton aro reported com
ing np well fa Texas. “ ^ ‘
The ootton markets have assumed,
during the week; a somewhat feverish
condition. The argnmenc is closing up
all roned. The cotton goods markets
clamor for farther reduction, in the face
of th* faot tha* cotton goods are already
low beyond p.. otdant—lower than al
most anything else going—the cheapest
covering to naked and shivering human
ity that human ingenuity has yet devised.
By force of these demands the cotton
good* manufacture has, for a time, sank
prostrate under a harden of embarrass
ment. The working portion ot it in
England, already reduced to starvation
wages, are scratching their heads ahd
cudgeling their braina over demands for
still lower wages.
Meanwhile, looking on the other aide,
these facts become apparent: Notwith
standing the distnrbance among manu
facturers, the cotton supply is diminish
ing and estimates of the volume of the in
coming crop are reduced from day to day.
At beat, the excess over last year’s pro
duct will fall a good deal below the de
crease in the visible supply.
The question arises which way the cat is
going to jump? Will the dilemma retoive
it—if in a fall in tb* prioesof raw material
or in a rise in the prices oi cuuuu guvucr
In relation to both it may be truly sata
they are already below value. The raw
cotton we know it ton cheap, and the
goods we believe to be too cheap. The
reasonable and fair eolation wai be a rise
in both; and with the generally anticipat
ed revival of trade the latter appears tope
the more probable solution.
But we have to consider the fact that
the cotton trade of Great Britain faae
culminated. It is past its zenith, and is
now cn the decline. It is a melancholy
fact, which we do not like to admit, bnt
it ie on the books. It is so written. The
world’s cotton trade, us to its general
oourae and habitat, has entered on a
change, which will confuse the course of
events for a generation or two; bnt still
cotton will clothe the human race ae it
does now; end the cotton trade ns an in

Beet Sngar-Tite Diamond State
Taking trie Lead m its JPro-
<1 action.
Emulating the exampleotJVance with
its rich results, the enterprising common'
wealth of Delaware, so famous for its
peach orchards, is vigoronsly turning her
attention to the cultivation of beets, for
the sugar extracted therefrom, and the
astonishing fertilizing properties of the
retime pulp.
The Legislature voted 8800, and ap
pointed a commission to investigate the
whole subject, and endeavor to encourage
the raising of the beet on an extended
scale for th* manufacture of auger. Tnis
Committee in ita let* report, Assert that
after repeated comparative teste, it ha*
been demonaitated that a considerable
portion of the soil of Delaware ie aa well
adapted to the growth of the beet, ae the
best districts in France. Treating of the
* xceeding profitableness of beet culture in
that country, several instances are quoted
which vrere drawn from the arrondisae-
msns of Valenciennes. We extract as
follows:
A farm at 832 sore?, the aalea ef the
produce from which, with ordinary farm
ing, smcuiitsd to $8,000 par annum, with
(be culture and rotation required tor the
sugar beet lncreaeed the annual receipts
to $41,300. A farm of 295 sores pro
duct d 6,225 bushels of wheat, 2,600 one
kUg&r beets, and fattened 150 bead at
c«tiie in a year. Bat <he model farm of
Fret Oj, containing 652 acres, averaged
tat bleven year* 70 bushels cf o*t* on 80
seres; Mi bushels of Wheat on 150 Aarts,
20 tnna of sugar beets per acre, 8 tons of
nay per acre, fattened 800 head of cstti-j
and 300 sheep. These termers attribute
ibeir saocasa os onldvotorH entirely to the
immense amount of manure which th*
beet pulp, (the waete from the factory,)
fad :o their ouile, in connection with th-
sir a* from tne wheat and oats, aiebitj
theta to mske, to the improved o mdi'ion
of the soil consequent upoa deep eoltiv*
tion, also to the increased pmfir«H - s-r-
virt from their Ian 1, no faUovis being re
quired. At a pahil* reception of lb. E U.
per or, the following significant iasono-
tian WAS placed on * triumphal mroh:
Before tne maeufnature of beet tuear
ih« arrond>nt*ement of Valenciennes pro
duced 695 759 bushels of wheat and fat
tened 700 oaitle. Since the msnnfacinre
of beet angar the »nr>u-l production of
Yetawctennaa ia 1,157,710 boated* of
wheat and fatten* 11,600 oat 1* ’*
These magnificent result* should set
Mr farmer* to thioki*g. True, there it
nothing equal to the West India cans
tor its augur-producing qualities and the
exrelienoe of the erticla Dsanotaotored.
But it is equally patent to observation
th»t no crop exhausts the land so much;
or require* highar fertilisation. Even in
Ct^be, where the fat aril ia iof< lbosestonu
foi (nation, an>l oft«o extends, ae the
writer son testify, to the deptii of three
feet, thraaowre from Havna ia tr**>a-‘
ported by rail a distance of from n to
mainly from Louisians. .Correspondents
of the Western newspaper* ausert that
from Ljnuiana alcna sixty thousand la
borers and their famiiiej are on the road,
or determined to start, 'ibis would in
volve say two or three hundred thousand
people, vrbiofc is a mere neaeensieal sng-
gfcstion. ,. , ; , !qi
Bnt thousands are going, and doubt
less it would be .a good .'thing for fan
country st large for this population to
distribute itself more generally in other
sections cf the country. It will then be
under better control—more directly uu-
der the influence of Ahe whites, and, on
the other hand', the whites themselves will
become more extensively informed of lit
character, capacity aad requirements.
The probable reanltof such a move
ment on the condition and comfort of the
negroes themselves ia another problem
which must await its own solution. They
have failed heretofore, as s race, to show
any aptitude for development in cold
countries, and in active competition with
the white race; and one may well doubt
whether they are likely to do'it m the
future. A few years will ■ probably bring
the balk ot' tbesd emigrants back again
under a Southern suit and the stlf-indul-
genk fatbits and leisurely toils which
characterise the race here.
In the Booth poverty does not bring
absolute physical suffering. Ice, snow,
drif island a freeaing temperature are rare
or unknown,*nd- no negro will suffer fo r
want ot fuel. How it stay bA’with him
in the hyperborean regions of ■Ahe- north
west, where life itself in the Winter must
depend on adequate and easeful provision
in the matters ot a tight shelter, comfort
able clothing and plenty of fuel is a seri
ous question.
. As to tbe impulses which have prompt
ed this to-called “Exodus/* .we need not
go beyond the negro himself to £fid
— H. u constitutionally a nomad.
Except under the influence of strong lb
col tie*, it is not common to find one who
ie not ready to move on the most vagne
asenrano? that his condition will be im
proved. Hie credulous and aangnine
temperament is ready to lay hold of any
rare to change of base,. and the experi
ence of thousands of our readers will
compel them to admit that the vast ma
jority ia ao fond of change as to need no
reasen for it. The average negro is but a
child. He can get along after a sort—com
fortably enough, according to hia stand-
ard, in the easy-going South; but the ar
duous struggles and hard climate of the
North will make Cuffee aee eights.
And as to the matter of losing popula
tion and field labor in the 8outb; if any
one will assign one good reason why the
ootton crop should go on swelling in pro
portions from year to year, wa will agree
to fqrnish another why it should be less.
Beddee tbo ootton crop ten per cent, and
it wontd not involve the South in the loss
of a dollar.
Again, as lo population, while the ae-
ceaaicn of a large number oi email pro-
prietors, able and willing to improve
their freeholds, is exceedingly desirable,
is it desirable to pash our lands fa waste
ful culture to swell ft cotton surplus
which is bound to diminish the money
price? ,
American Bacon in Europe.
It really does look like the enterpris
ing p.npia of the Western continent ere
man, tears will whip out the agricnltnr
iats and stock raisers of the old country
even in their own markets.
In addition to tbe many thousands of
fat live cattle and the immense quanti
ties of bntenered beef sent across the
water in refrigerators, now we find that
Western bsoon is becoming la great re
quest among the English despite the
strong opposition of her Majsatj’a stock
raisers. The Pall Vail QauUe eays:
"It has long been known that American
bacon could be sent over to this country
at each a prioo as to defy competition by
our farmers. Owing, however, to cer
tain defect* m the mode of preparation,
it has never yet had a fair trial, except in

this is being rectified, and American
bacon, quite equal to English, can be
sold at about 4}i a lb, instead of ten-
pence or a shilling. At any rato, tbe

An Absent Peatoaaster.
A month or two ago, Mr. Hobbs, the
postmaster at Baxley, Georgia, on the
Maoon and Bronswiok Bead, waa ana
pected of some irregularities fa the con
duct of hia office. The matter came to
the attention of Captain John Frey, one
of the brightest detectives in the United
Stales aeoret service in the South, and he
set to work to develop the case. The
usual device of decoy letter* was resort
ed to and the erring Hobbs fell easily in
to the ambnah. It waa made evideat
that he had been tampering with the
mails, and eapeoially with registered let
ters. Captain Frey, as toon aa hia ev
dence against him was oomplete, took a
run down the road, to accomplish
his arrest, but, in some way
hearing that the day of reckoning waa at
hand, Mr. Hobbs vanished and has not
bean seen sines. Hois supposed to bs hid
den away fa the wilda ot the awamps ef
the Ogeeehee river. The detectives have
been engaged in a fruitless search for the
miaafag but wanted Hobba for several
weeks and haT# at last drawn off their
wateb. The amount which tho Depart
ment has lost ia inconsiderable, but the
design of the Department ia to make the
mail uivice ao reliable and safe that the
amalleet violation of theaanotity of letter
aeali will be followed np with the penalty
inscribed rathe statute books, if soe ible.
Mr. Hobba waa also agent of the Macon
and Brnnawiok Roid at Baxley and has
heretofore stood well in the ouetoesa po
sitions whioh he filled. He resigned the
position of agent of the road some weeks

the college, broke away it plank from the
fencing and' took a promenade to the

Tfee morning was spent in tbo enjoy
ment of that freedom which
ia rendered sweeter by being
forbidden. Afternoon found each se
nior in her placo at college, looking
sweeter by the bloom imported by the

Memurint Day.
Tho preparations for the 26 ;h of this

decoration of the graves wilt take place
aa naual on that eventful day. Theteiti-
itary of the city will tnrn cut, and tha
usnal demonstration# of interest will be
manifested in celebrating tbe day which
commemorates the deeds of valor ot
fallen braves. Tbe selection of anoiator
ha# been postponed until quite late thic

whether an oraticn would be delivered on
tho occasion, or the grave# simply be
decorated and the speeches reserved until
the unveiling of tho monument later in

ever, to have orations on both occasions.
Yesterday the committee in charge of the
arrangements received a letter of accept
ance from Ber. George G. Smith, of Mil-

City Bonds.
Notwithstanding the depreaiion under
which the securities of the city have
been resting for the past two years, there
ie on evident reaction taking place and
city bonds are steadily advancing fa
price. They are now quoted higher than
in many months before. To what thiB
appreciation in price ia due we do not
now pretend to say, but tho fact is very
apparent to all who have transactions
in city bonds or who keep posted on the
subject. The quotations ranged y eater-
terday for the long date bonds, fifty-nine
sente on the dollar offered and sixty
cents asked, and for the ahort date bond*
seventy cents offered and seventy-five
asked. Tha tone of the market ie deci
dedly on the improve and ic is hoped
that this important public ooafidenee in
our bonds will be lasting.
