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.
