Mr. Wm. m Lawton, of Charleston, now in England, writes to a friond to BarnweU, South Carolina, as follows: "If our crop of cotton falls below 3,500,000 bales, high prices will surely rule the coming season, but it must not be pressed too freely on sale. The consumption is very large, and spinners fnily employed. I know of one firm of soa island spinners who are cloaring XI,000 per week at their mills.” A noun on or Suvznr w Sixu.—Tho King of Biam baa resolved to set free all tho slaves in bis realms. Tbo perpetual abolition of slavery will take plaeo in that oountryon the 31st of January, 1872. A tax is to be paid by way of remunerating ownors for tho compulsory man- nmisslon, and tho experiment of free labor will Uma be mado in atiil another country of the world. The King of Siam aots an example worthy of imitation by tho “ best government the world ever saw."

They say in Monroe that he was “ skunked"—an old-time juvenile phrase which we had almost forgotten. It is cortainly the strangest election we ever heard of. This makes Kimmons' majority in the district 3081 out of a total of 4247 votes polled. The coun ties stand thus: Simmons. Tinley.

Charleston steamers go direct to theif wharves in New York and there ia now no delay in the shipment of gooda by that line. Auahava Cotton Cnor.—The Montgomery Advertiser says there were many gloomy planters in town Wednesday, from ail sections. A Butler county farmer who planted for 200 bales, aaya he will be satisfied with 26, Tnz Mono* Disasrzn.—The Coroner's in quest on the Oocan Wave disaster returned for verdiet: “We find that aaidexploaion occurred through f*}® .oarelesanesa, negligence and inoompetency of the l oiled States Inspector and the offioera and owners of the said steamboat: and we rec ommend that the said inspector, officers and owners of the laid boat be held to a strict ac countability for the deaths and homicides of the persona aforesaid.

The heaviest mortality w«w from consumption, the nnmber of deaths The Cotton Sod Oil Bcsinxss.—The New Orleans Ficayuse aaya the oil factories in that city, with one exception, were forced to suspend for want of seed a month ago. The reduction in the price of seed to #12 00 per ton against #15 00 last year, and increased price of freights rudnoed the importation to 460,953aaeks,agaioat 1,112,036 last year. The Picayune urges the increase of shipments because the forty gallons of oil which each ton of seed contains is of no valne for fertilizing purposes, and the cako after the oil i. extracted is worth more to planters than the seed. Is it tree, that ihe oil has no manorial virtues ? Some chemists say so, but we don’t believe it. Th* Bic* Crop.—The weather is embarrass- Ing UkT rice planters. Constant rains either make the over ripening rica fall, or much dam age It after it ia ent and laid on the stubble by preventing its drying, or by sprouting. Tho crops aroall In harvesting condition, which it to impossible to cany on anoeessfully. Mxxioo ia going into the business of civil war again—a poor occupation never so well followed.

As there ia no Lieuten ant-Governor they propose to name the Speaker of the House as Governor, and leave their ac tion to be approved by the Legislature. This la a rather high-handed proposition, and it would be well for Bollock to harry back to his charge. There is no constitutional provision limiting the Governor's absence, and there ia no talk of this kind to Georgia either. The Georgians are not pining after Governor Bollock. Let him ‘‘stay hia time out.” 3G64 583 Cotton Botibo in the Fields.—We learn from intelligent gentlemen that immature bolls are now rotting in the fields, and matured cotton is sprouting from the continuous wet weather, which leaves no chance to gather the crop. Mitob Hall meets tho corruption investiga tion before the Supreme Court of New York with a sweeping affidavit that he has received no other profits or emoluments whatever than hia legally established salary. The New Yorkers evidently beUevethat Connolly, the Comptrol ler, procured the robbery of his own office of the missing vouchers, but Connoly, of coarse, is indignant at tho imputation, and maintains that the abstraction of tbo vouchers would amount to nothing to oovering op his tracks, as the books show abstracts of aU of them. The attention of the city is absorbed in the legal in vestigation going on before Judge Barnard, under the motion to enjoin tho municipal gov ernment. The Herald very properly scouts at the R«d leal effort to remand the city to tho control of the Legislature—so long notorions for its remorseless corruption. August Ihpootatioss.—The August foreign importations into the port at New York were over seventeen millions of dollars—an amount far beyond what was ever known before in a stogie month. Hydbofbobia.—The New Orleans Picayune of the 13tb reports the death of officer Dorn of that oity, by hydrophobia. He had been bitten to the hand by a dog a few days before, and tbonght nothing of it at the time, bnt last Mon day afternoon ho began to feel sick. That pa- persays: > “A strong fever set in, and he grew excited and delirious. At first be tatted wildly, and finally, tortured by the intense pain, he foamed at tho month, shrieking in hia agony. This con tinued for several hours, the pain gradually lessening, while the delirium augmented. He tried to bark like a dog, and bit and snapped at every one who approached him. Being A man of powerful bniid and great strength, it was extremely difficult to oontrol him, While he raged and struggled in the hor rors of his delirium. The soene is described as terrible. The strong man, held down by force, every nerve and sinew of bis vigorous frame trembling and cxeitod; shriek upon shriek rending the air, his faee wild with a hor rible terror, and the foam dripping from his mouth. Hour after hour went by in Ibis fear- fnl delirium, nnli! exhausted nature laid him helpless and dying before his terror-strieken family. He died at a few minutes to II o’clock yesterday, still delirious, and with his last breath exhibiting the symptoms of horrible in sanity. Knows Enouoh.—The New Orieans Times thinks it is all lost labor descanting upon Gen. Grant’s ignorance, and dullness, and solflshness. Ho knows as much as his party wants him to know, and he does as they all want to do. The World says the body of the young woman which was washed ashore near Cold Spring, Long Island, on Tuesday morning of last week, has been identified as that of Mrs. Rose Lovell, wife of John Lovell, the captain of Congressman Roosevelt's yatch Fearless. Mrs. Lovell charged her husband with having desertod her for another woman, and for some time has been mentally depressed. She is supposed to have laVnn passage on the steamer D. It. Martin, and to have jnmped overboard, for the purpose of committing suicide. It is said that the Troy ilressmaker.Misa Jennie Hicks,whose mysterious disappearance was supposed to have somo con nection with this sad tragody, has been dis covered in Boston. The One Tumi Abut.—Tho Radical papers say Grant was whipped ont in the elections for delegates to tbo New York Republican Conven tion, and Greeley and bis one term triumphant. Never mind, Mr. Grant! The Southern so- called reconstructed States with Squashee and Gumbo for sovereigns, will set yon right in the National Convention. What is New York, curies from tho South. Ghe.it Confusion is ronorlnd «»th. dh;i«<1c)- phia Mint. ThePcnnsti.VANIA Centbal.—A correspondent of the World Bays in the opinion of investigating men the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has for the last nine years realized no net profit on its bnsinosa, and has really gone materially be hindhand, though payiog IO per cent, dividends to Us stockholders. Tho writer winds up as follows: Weil might the President of Ihe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad (a very differently managed company) speak of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company as a wonderful corporation in Us power of piling credit on credit, and bnilding np liabilities of moro than $200,000,000, with a capital of $34,000,000; or a Southern journal ist compare it to “a gigantic soap bubble which gleams and glitters in the sun ready to leave nothing behind it bat a great blotch of particu larly dirty water;" and it is the controllers of this “gigantio soap babble” who are aspiring to the possession of the Now Jersey Canal and Railroad oompaniea, and leaving no means nn employed to obtain it 1 ADVERTISEMENTS Macon Regalia Association. ^jHMBEB3 of this Association* will meet atthe LIVERPOOL, LONDON it GLOBE INSDRANGR COMPANY.

There are other points, says the Charleston Courier, touched upon by General Morgan in his late speech to Ohio, to which we propose to allndo. Instead of the taxes having been re duoed, as claimed by the Bepnblioan party, they have been, as was exhibited yesterday, hugely increased. The annual profits of this country arising from all its industries are estimated at abont $1,000,600,000. And yet, of this immense amount, one-half is annually, cither directly or indirectly, taken from the pockets of the peo ple, through the means and tostrnmentaiity of taxation. One of the boasts of the great Radical ora tors, and for which the oontinnanee of their supremacy is demanded, is that since the close of the war $300,000,000 of the pnblio debt has been paid off. This is tine. Bnt the boast falls to the ground, and the moat wasteful expendi ture is established when wo remember the equally acknowledged fact that during this time there has been collected, to taxa^on, $2,700,- 000,000. more than sufficient to have discharged the entire national debt General Morgan, in reference to this, re marks: Tbo other day when addressing my fellow- citizens in Lrocasler, an intelligent and thought ful gentleman in the andience called out andpro- ponnded this pertinent question to me. He asked '* If it take $2,700,000 to rednoe the debt #300,- 000,000, how mnch will it take to pay off the whole- debt V The whole debt is a tittle less than $2,400,000. The ostentation is not difficult. To >ay off tho debt at the rate and to tho manner t has been paid during the past six years, to proportion to the amount of revenues collected from the people, it wonld require $21,600,000,- 000 to pay less than $2,400,000,000." Senator Sherman on the stomp declared that Congress has reduced tbe internal taxes of the people fifty-six millions of dollars. There is probably no mode of taxation more odions, or which is more directly felt and resented. The object of Senator Sherman was by this repre sentation to hold np the party to power as a party of relief, and, therefore, entitled to the support of the country at large. But the more pregnant fact was not stated, that the reduc tions were not for the common benefit, bnt only eo far as regarded the interests of New England. The party to power are governed by Us ideas, controlled by its influence, and managed with a view simply to its aggrandizement. The remit is additional burthen* upon thegreat West, and the other section* of the oonntiy. And thi* will be perceived by tbe comparison which General Morgan makes between the com monwealth of Ohio and the New England State*. He saya: “It is tine, my triends, that In oertain parts of the oonntiy tbe Internal Revenue tax baa been reduoed. In 1868 the six New England States paid an amount of Internal Revenue equal to $25,000,000, while Ohio paid $12,000,. ooo. New England paid $13,000,000 more In ternal Revenue taxes than were at that time paid by Ohio. Bnt how is it to-day? Ohio pays waiting to be built by “Northern capitalists.” Cattle Disease in Dalton.—Tho Citizen aaya the cattle thereabonts are still dying np very rapidly with murrain.
