intoroslhig to Cotton 31 on.
[l-'mn tho SiWrtunoh Nows.]
AVe have received from Al.v. Charles
A. Fi.frton, a well known nod reliable
cotton broker of New York, a circular
which diucuseca points, some of which
iire quite novel, but all of direct in
terest to persons interested in cotton,
whether as purchaser; or as produ
cers.
To those interested in the purchase
of cotton, tho circulars calls attention
to the fid that tho crop tins year,
from present indications, will bo con
siderably smaller than was anticipa
ted at the beginning of the season;
that since the first of November the
weather has been very unfavorable
for gathering it, and much has been
beaten out and destroyed. It also
calls attention to tie fact that for
some time past, the quotation in Liv
erpool for middling upland was (E'd.
while Orleans cotton was (EM. On
this Litter point it says:
“This large and unusual difference
tins had the effect of diverting cotton
from the Atlantic coast and from
i the New l’,ug'land mills direct to
| New Orleans and Mobile. Cotton on
! the line of tho Misissippi and west of
!it feels the attraction of tho higher
quotation offered for shipment from
■ New Orleans, and cotton in Alabama
and the western part of Georgia
1 would also take that direction instead
|of corning out at Savannah and
| Charleston, as shipments were only
i quoted (Qd. My advices indicate
j clearly that this is the case, and much
! It w.s cotton is goingdirect to mills than
] last year. About the wisdom of mak
| ing Nh difference in Liverpool on say
! 100 bales shipped from Hufala to Now
Orleans and 100 bales exactly similar
! shipped from Eufala to Savannah,
| both for shipment to Liverpool, I
have now nothing to say. But so
long as this influence continues at
work cotton will naturally seek outlet
at the Gulf ports. In other words
our present receipts are somewhat
at the cxpence of the direct move
ment to the Northern mills.”
This is n point which wo shonM
think would prove of special interest
!to our business men here, and no tf-
I fort should be spared to counteract
an influence which, whatever its or
igin and cause, must certainly be of
detriment t< Savannah.
He fvrring i il:e qnality of the crop,
! the circular says that “while tin crop
l ofl c * seasen win one of the Itm .t
!iu spinning qualiti-.'S since the war,
j the present crop appears Ihc woivt.
The storms of October and November,
! wl.cu the n ttom uni middle crops
were open, have lowered tee grade
| considerably and caused an admix
ture of sand and dirt.’ For these
reasons it is estimated that the pres
ent is at least 21 per cent, poorer
than last year's crop, a fact .vb’ch
should not be lost s:gbt of.
Regarding the quantity of the crop,
it savs that up to the 23d of Novem
ber the receipts stand 310,8 V) bales
behind the same period last year.
The stock now at all ports is 018,071
bales, while last your at tho saute dr to
it was b'JS.OIG bales, and Liverpool
that
consumption should not exceed that
of last year, there will be a propuble|
deficit of 192,000 bales iu the Europe-;
an demand. Besides tins, taci ■ is,'
compared with last year, a. reduction
of 167,000 bales in the ports, and ful
ly 150,000 bales in the stocks at La
mills—iu all ”17,000 bales. From
these is deduced the opinion that!
prices must be higher than last year.
This says tho circular would un
doubtedly be tho case if cotton were
ou its dwn merits, and the only thing
to prevent such a result is the war in
Europe, and the fear of new political
complications which may atiso from
the Eastern question. “But,” it con
tinues, “taking a broad view of the
situation, it would appear that what
ever may be the extent of tho fluctu
ations iu the course of twelve months,
the average price of middling uplands
is more likely to be over than under
fi’at of the past season.” And further,
safi tho writer:
“With-a position for cotton strong
er than I have known for twenty-nine
years (except during tho war), it may
bo asked why is cotton lower than
last year. The most important de
pressing influence is the number of
people who have lately gone in to the
business offering every night to Eu
rope, from every Southern port, cot
ton at preos cheaper than can be
done in any legitimate way. These
people calculate that the necesities of
planters will compel largo deliveries
and lower prices, atkWtnable them to
cover the excepted offers with com
mission. This system interferes with
all regular business, and from the
number of offois, it gives false im
pression to tbs European spinner
about fno actual state of crop. As
Europe is a buyer for our cotton, of
course tlm feeling there is generally
bearish, and if they have the help of
people ou this side, it has a powerful
influence.”
At this point tho circular maker a
suggestion of great importance to the
planter especially. It shows the evil
of a few men being allowed to keep
prices down and permiting Europe to
get her supply at a low rate, and
asserts that a combination could
be formed which would compel
her t.<> pay us a fair price.—
The great trouble at present is, in
addition to that above alluded to,
that planters arc forced to sell their
crops in order to obtain menus in
. dispenahl y necessary to them. If they
could in some way be freed from the
necessity of these forced sales, they
secure higher and living prices. It
is suggested, therefore, that the banks
and nerchants of tire country make
liberal advances to the planter on his
crop, which might be stored at some
place and remain there as a security
for the- loan. Then as, after a while
Europe must have this cotton or stop
her mills, she would pay a fair price
for it. Says he on this subject:
“If England or France produced an
article of which they had almost a mo
nopoly, that we must have or stop our
mills, I don’t think We would see them
fighting among themselves to see how
low they could sell that article to
us.” And, “when ive consider that lc.
per pound on the 3,000,000 exported
is $13,500,000, and sc. is $27,000,000,
!it becomes a subject of great iinpor
! tan.ee tq nil the country, because we
cannot benefit the planters of the
| .South without also increasing the
i prosperity of the whole country. My
j idea is to have the bank officers con
j sider well this subject. If there is
! anything safer than an advance to
I merchants on their notes, backed by
i cotton at these prices, with a fair
j margin, I don’t know what it
j is. Let the merchants make fail
advances to the plauters on their
| crops to be held until fair prices .can
;b obtained. Let the bankers help
the merchants in this.”
AVe present these ideas to the atten
tion of our phiutois and business men
i generally. AVe are assured that they
j meet the approbation of many of our
readers, and if they could be carried
! out. it .i-niid result in great benefit
to our section of country. Air. Easton
'is a cotton broker of high standing,
i and .his alone makes his suggestions
i worthy of con ideration. In making
! such -suggestions, however, ho spe
cially discountenances anything like
a holding back of cotton by planters,
for he c.nnuudes ms remarks as fol
i lows:
‘ Nothing iu the above must be con
| strued into the idea that planters
should hold back their crops. As
■ they have already delivered against
their contracts for guano in Xovoin
b. r, so they should promptly fulfill
their engagements to country store
keepers, merchants, bands and others.
Any other course would be contrary to
commercial honor and integrity, and
would block the wheels of com
merce.”
The Pcwek op the Human Eye.—
This has been illustrated in numerous
cases iu encounters with lions, but
was more remarkably shown in the
case of a British officer in India, who
suddenly canto' upon a royal tiger on
the edge of a jungle. Ho had no
fire arms and felt that his sword
would afford no effective defence iu a
-uugglo for life with such an autag
oMcfi The tiger seemed preparing
L mke the fatal spring. AVitb his
sword drawn he looked the tiger in
tern and sternly in the face; the
,-mined seemed disturbed, and creep
c i around to attack him in the roar,
but the officer turned and stiil gazed
intently at him; the eyes of the tiger
drooped, and suddenly he darted into
tho thicket, but he soon returned,
persevering in the effort to assume
the courage to spring upon tho officer.
Thus the contest was prolonged for
half an hour, finally the eye of the
officer conquered the ferocious beast,
who, with repeated growls, fled into
the thicket again, and tho officer
taking the back track slowly at first,
soon mado the swiftest double-quick
time of his life, and reached the tent
iu safety.
The hard times are doing moro in !
New York, according .to the Herald,
to shut up.liquor saloons in that city
than tho law and order league. Two
thousand are said to have been closed
during tho past eighteen months for
want of patronage.
Mr. Joseph Boyd and his wife, citi
zens of Troup county, tho one near
one hundred and the other ninety
years of age, have lived together
seventy-five years. The former can
easily read fine print without the aid
of glassed. V
Too much ('niton.
Bishop Pierce in a letter to the
Southern Christian Advocate, offers
tho following rational advice to his
Southern countrymen;
“Verily king cotton, like other
kings, is consuming the substance of
the people. Prosperity in this article
of production, it seems “tondeth to
poverty.” Avery heavy crop has
boon made, and yet the people arc on
the “ragged edge” of insolvency.
Tho more we make the. poorer we
grow. And yet the desperate bet is
made on other crop, in tho face of
ton years’ unbroken uniformity of re
sults. The heathen adage “Whom
the gods aim to destroy they first
make mad” is being actualized. No
I soil, no fertilizer, no season will save
tho country on the line of its present
i agricultural policy. Tho result is
just as disastrous on the Virginia soil
j of Texas as on the old. wasted lands
[of Georgia. The man who lnsc;
I money in making ton hag? of cottcn
i will lose yet moro in the production
!of a hundred. This is the fact in ex
perience, in spite of theory and lig
j uring. Forgive this episode, for lam
j distressed at the prospect of the coun
try financially. Bad government
may destroy us and our prosperity
but no legislation can lift u? out of
the present “slough of despond”
without home supplies. Bread and
meat must bo made, not bought.
Tire great burden of expense lies
right there. The stomach costs more
than tho back. Make bread, raise
meat, live at home, be self-supporting.
Neither inflation n or contraction, nor
the financial plank in tho coming
platform will save us. Help must
come out of the ground, iu bread
stuffs. You may go to Texas—all
cotton will swamp you; you may stay
in Georgia and grow fat and rich on
! peas, potatoes, wheat and corn. Let
! us fill our garners with all manner of
! store; then our oxen will be strong
ito labor, or sheep will bring forth
l thousands; then there will “bo no
| breaking in our going out” in quest
j of flood—plenty and perce will hush
! “complaining in our streets,” and we
will be a happier and better people.

Some fifty years or more ago, a
poor old woman in Ireland had her
cottage pulled down over her head by
her landlord. Her name wn. Alollie
Maguire, and she died of g : tf am .
exposure. Thereupon her son and
some neighbor lads formed themselves
into a secret band, and vowed and
took fierce revenge on Irish landlords
in general. The band spread rapidly,
and they called themselves the “Mol
lio Maguires,” and Irish coal miners
brought the name to America.
Tho winter season of Texas usually
lasts from tho middle of Pebuury.and
its most distinguishing feature is the
“northers,” a periodical wind totally
unknown in tho other States. They
occur on the average twice a week and
last a couple of days. They are pre
ceded by a warm, close, summerish
atmostphere, and during their con
tinuance tho temperature not uu
frequently touches 17o' The cold is
tho severest imaginable, not steady,
as in the North, but of a keen, search
ing, biting description.
A train on the Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroad fell through
tho bridge over Fishing creek, a few
days ago. One life lost, several per
sons injured and much damage done.
Tho Potomac is .six feet higher than
the great freshet of 1842, and is scat
terinq destruction of life and property
on every hand.
