We observe that tliis gentleman is becom-
ing quite distasteful to the Radical editors of
this State. They call him “ humbug, ”
“clcctioneeiing document,” etc. The trouble
is. be is a Northern Democrat, in favor of
giving the Southern people all their rights in
the Union, aud opposed to all disfranchise
ment of white men, and other hardships.—
This, in itself, is enough to secure the ill will
of a Southern party that has united with the
enemies of the South and the Constitution
to oppress their own countrymen..
Perhaps these editors would be glad to
hear what a Northern Republican journalist
has to say about Bates and his flag. We
quote from the New York Times, which will
hardly be accused of. partiality cither for
Democracy or the South :
It sti-ics that some time in last December the
gallant Sergeant had apolitical discussion with an
individual in Wisconsin, who asserted that the
Southern people haled ibe American flag with
such an intensity that they were constantly ucliing
to tear it to pieces and devour any one who
siiould attempt to uphold it. This the Sergeant
disputed, end referred to the fact of ourflig be
ing »t this lime planted in all the Southern States;
but his adversary upset liim by declaring that it
required everj where to be upheld hy military
power, and that it was only the fcar of this which
kept the sacrilegious hands of the rebels from the
sacred emblem. The dispute might have been in
terminable, but the Sergeant, being a practical
politician, and having no time to wu-te in non
sense, at once proposed to bring the matter to a
test by offering to march-through tho length and
breadth ol reheldom with the great flsg nnfe.rled
o’er Iris head. The terms were reduced to writing,
and signed by both parties, to this effect:
“Bates is to carry the flag unfurled, except at
night, during storms, or when resting, but is not.
tu pars through cities nr collections ot' people
with It furled; he is to travel only during the day
time; to be always unarme-d; logo on foot; not to
employ anybody to protect him; may employ one
person as u guide when necessary; it any pariies
choose voluntarily to escort him they arc at liberty
to do so.”
All that the Sergeant asked of his adversary was
that he would furnish to his family one dollar per
day during Vis absence, and he would immediately
proceed to Vicksburg, start thence without money,
unarmed, and on font, and carry the American flag
to Washington < ity, which place lie agreed to
reach by 4th of July next. The terms were ac
cepted, Vicksburg reached, aud the Star-Spangled
inarch begun some i ur or five weeks ago.
Most people will feeL inclined to laugh at the
Sergeant and his march, and his unfurled flag and
his triumphal receptions, and tho toora-loora loo
of the whole affair. It is hard to relrain from
laughing at it. Butil'ul! those whobelievc.ns the
Sergeant’s adversary did, would start out .vmarch*
ing'with their waving flags, as the Sergeant has
done, they would render their country a better
service than bv staying at home and growling at
the rebels.

The following is the communication from
Chief Justice Chase, which was laid before
the Senate on the 4th instant:
To the Senate of the United States:
Inasmuch as the sole power to try im
peachment is vested by the Constitution in
the Senate, and it is made the duty of the
Chief Justice to preside when the President
is on trial, I take the liberty of submitting,
very respectfully, some observations in re
spect to the proper mode of proceeding upon
the impeachment, which has been preferred
by the House of Representatives against the
President now in office: That when the
Senate sits for the trial of an impeachment,
it sits ns a Court, seems unquestionable; that
for the trial of an impeachment of tlie Pr si-
deni, this court must be coustituted of the
membersof theSenate, with the Cliiei Justice
presiding, seems equally unquestionable.
The Federalist is regarded as the highest
cotemporary authority on the constitution of
the Constitution, and in the 64th number the
functions of the Senate sitting in their judi
cial capacity as a Court for the trial of im
peachment are examined. . In a paragraph
explaining the reasons for uniting the Su
premo Court with the Senate in the forma
tion ot the Court of Impeachment, it is ob
served that to a certain extent tlie benefits of
that union will be obtained from making the
Chief Justice of the*Supreme Court the Pres
ident of the Court of Impeachment, as is pro
posed in-the plan of the Convention, while
the inconveniences of an entire incorporation
of the former with the latter will be subsian
daily avoided. Tiiis was, perhaps, the pru
dent mean. This authority seems to leave
no doubt upon cither of the propositions
just stated, and tho statement of them will
servo to introduce the question upon which I
think it my duty to state the result of my
reflections to the Senate, - namely : At what
pafiod, in the case ot an impeachment of the
President, should the Court of Impeachment
be organized under oath, as directed iu the
Constitution ?
It will readily suggest itself to any one
who reflects upon the abilities and the learn
ing in the law which distinguish so many
Senators thnt, beside the reason assigned in
Tho Federalist, there must hnve teen .-till
another for the provision requiring the Chief
Justice to preside in the Court of Impeach
ment. Under the Constitution, in case of a
vacancy in the office of President tho Vice
President succeeds, and it was doubtless
thought prudent and befitting that tbo next
in succession should not preside in a proceed
ing through which a vacancy might he cre
ated. It was not doubted that the Senate
while sitting in its ordinary capacity must
necessarily receive from tlie House of Repre
sentatives some notice of its intention to im
peach tho President at its bar.
But it does not seem to me an unwarrant
able opinion in view of this constitutional
provision that the organization ol the Senate
as a Court of Impeachment, uudor the Con
stitution; should precede the actual announce
ment of tlie impeachment on the jiart of the
House; and it may, perhaps, be thought a
still less unwarranted opinion that articles of
impeachment should only be presented to a
Court of Impeachment, that no other sum
mons or other process should only be pre
sented to a Court of Impeachment, that no
summons or other process should issue ex
cept from tho organized Court, and that rules
for the government of the proceeding of such
a Court should be framed only by tiio Court
itself. I have found myself unable to come
to any other ooncluyons titan those.
I can assign no reason for requiring the
Senate to organize as a Court under any other
than its ordinary presiding officer, for the
latter proceedings upon an impeachment of
the President, which docs not seem to me to
apply equally to the earlier. 1 am informed
that the Senate proceeded upon other views,
anil it is not iny purpose to contest what its
superior wisdom may have directed. All
good citizens will fervently pray that uo oc
casion may ever arise when the grave pro
ceedings now in progress will be cited as a
precedent; but it is not impossible that such
an occasion may come. Inasmuch, therefore,
as the Constitution has charged the Chief
Justice with an important function in the
trial of an impeachment of the President, it
has seemed to me fitting and obligatory,
where he is unable to concur in the views ot
ilie Senate concerning matters essential to tlie
triai that hi« respectful dissent should appear.
’ S. P. Chase,
Chief justice United States.
researches over-night, what seemed to him to
be the facts, first,that every member ot the Sen
ate was entitled to be sworn in ns a member
of the court; second, that under tlie Consti
tution of the United States and the rules of
the Senate, every member, including Mr.
Wade, should be sworn in without debate or
the right of objection by any Senator.
When'Mr. Dixon, ignoring the point of
order thus raised, began speaking, he was
called to order by Mr. Drake, of Missouri.
Chief Justice Chase declining as yet to de
cide whether Senator Howard’s point of or
der was well taken, said he should be con
strained to submit the question to theSenate,
and asked Mr. Howard to reduce his objec
tion to writing.
Mr. pixon again arose, but was interrupt
ed by the Chief Justice, who read Senator
Howard’s point of order, as reduced to writ
ing.
Attempting to go on, Mr. Dixon was called
to order a second time by Mr. Drake, wlio
held that a point of order was not debata
ble.
The Chief Justice said that in his opinion
Mr. Dixon was in order. This announcement
served to rouse a sentiment against Mr. Dix
on’s right to the floor ou the part of several
Radicals, who prepared openly to contest not
only that, but the decision of the Chief Jus
tice.
As Mr. Dixon proceeded, Senators Sher
man and Howard successively called him to
order, and wererajHied toby Senators John
son and Hendricks. It was still contended
by Mr. Howard that tlie rules adopted by the
Senate to govern a court of Impeachment dis
tinctly provided that all orders and decisions
should be determind without debate, and
Mr. Howard cited the twenty-third rule
especially as showing that debate was not
then in order.
Then came the tug of war. The Chief
Justice, responding calmly and firmly to the
Senator from Michigan, said that in his
opinion the rules adopted by tlie Senate for
the court did not and would not apply until
the court was formed and they were ratified
by the court.
Mr. Drake appealed from the decision of
tho Chair, which was, however, sustained by
the following vote:
Yeas—Anthony. Buckalcw, Corbett, Davis. Dixon,
Fessenden, Fowler, Frelinshuysen, Grimes, Hender
son, Hendricks, Johnson, McCrcery. Morrill of Me.,

This vote was greeted with vigorous ap
plause in the galleries, which was instantly-
checked by the call of “order, order,” from
Chief Justice Chase. It will be observed
that several Radicals, more prudent than
their brethren, and distrusting the policy of
helping to overrule Mr. Chase’s decisions so
early in the trial and in such a cause, voted
in the affirmative.*
Mr. Dixon resumed and made a brief in
cisive speech upon the impropriety, and
worse, of admitting Mr. Wade, and in favor
of a decision being made upon the question
during the organization of the court.
Mr. Hendricks, of Indiana, who raised the
question yesterday ns to Senator Wade’s
right to be sworn in, now arose. He rciter
ated and clinched with additional arguments
the position he had assumed on the main
question since the beginning of the debate:
but lie unexpectedly announced, iu conclu
sion, that, as many gentlemen who agreed
with him as to the merits were of an opinion
different from his as to the necessity of Sena'
tor Wade’s right to be a member of the court
being decided fit this time, be would with
draw the question, and thus postponing the
decision of the court until such time as 8en»
tor Wade’s right to vote shall be questioned
during tbe actual trial. This question may
not arise until the question of “guilty or not
guilty” shall be finally propounded to the
court, and it is anticipated that in the face
of tbe public sentiment which the debate of
the last two days will be likely to arouse
throughout the country, neither Senator
Wade nor his friends may bo very anxious by
that time to press his d'uiui.
No other question being raised, Senator
Wade’s name was called by the Chief Justice
and be was sworn in. After him to the desk
followed Williams, Wilson, Willey and Sauis-
■ipm
The Chief Justice forthwith declared the
orgaiiization of the Senate as a High Court
of Impeachment. The Sergeant-at-Arms
shouted:
Hear ye I bear yel All pereona are- commanded to
keep silence on i>ain of imprisonment while tbe Sonata
of tjie United States is sittinp for tho trial of Andrew
Johnson, President cf the United States.
The Chief Justice ro?e and made known to
the court that the rules adopted by the Sen
ate as a legislative body could hot govern
the court unless they were reaffirmed by’ the
Senate acting in the latter capacity. The
question whether the rules should be adopted
was then put by the Chief Justice, and cur
ried. ; .
Senator noward immediately moved, and
the court ordered, that tho Secretary of the
Senate should notify the managers on the
part of the House that tho court was ready
to proceed with the triul and would receive
them. The managers were thereupon noti
fied, anti at 2:45 o’clock they entered through
the main doorway of the Senate Chamber,
Bingham and Butler walking in front arm
in-arm. Boutwell and Wilson came next,
then Williams and Logan. Mr. Stevens was
too feeble to appear. Chief Justice Chase
invited the managers to advance and be
seated. 'When all the managers had seated
them selves in wliat some impressionable
writer lias seen fit to call the “historic chairs”
disposed opposite the Clerk’s de sk, and when
a breathless stillness reigned in the Chamber,
3fr. BiDgham, the chief war horse of the
chargers of “high crimes and misdemeanors”
against President Johnson, shook his mane
and neighed thus;

resentativet we demand of this court that it takocojt-
nii nice as to the appearance in court oi Andrew
Johnson. Piwrfdent of the United, .StatM. to answer

ferred against him.
Senator Howard moved that a summons be
is.-ued to Andrew Johnson to appear before
the bar of the Senate on Friday, the 1 flth in
stant, at 1 o’clock, to answer the said charges.
Having adopted this motion, tbe court ad
journed until the day’, March 1*», set for- tnc
opening of the trial.

Resolved by the Asscqnblv of the State Of Cali
fornia, That the people of this State will now, ns
they have in the past, bear true faith and fealty to
tbe government of our father.-; that by ail legal
and just means they will sustain til- President of
the United States in tbe complete discharge of bis
duties.
Resolved, That we urge the President of the
United States, in the name of our people, the
Iieemen of the State ot California, in the name
and iu behalf of the cause ol constitutional liber
ty, to be firm and unbending In tbe tnainUinance
of the Executive Department of the governmentmd
to that end we pledge him our undivided suppor .
Resolved, That tbe Radical majority in the Con
gress of tbe United States have trampled upon
mad disregarded tbe great Inter sts of ttio people,
and instead of legislating to relieve tbe people from
the burdens of taxation under which the entire in
dustry of tho country is suffering, are bending
their united efforts to ’involve the country iu the
vortex of civil war, and in the opinion ot the As
sembly of California have proved themselves un
worthy alike of the high positions they now occu
py, and of the couiidencc of the people.
The Poison op Rattlesnakes.—Dr. S. W. Mit
chell, of this city, has just completed a second
carefully conducted series of experiments upon
the venom of tho rattlesnake. Tho principal
conclusions to which he arrives are us follows:
1st. Therois no antidote to this poison, the rem
edies usually applied being nearly or entirely
useless. Carbonic acid, applied externally,
sometimes delays the fatal result—merely, how
ever, by sffcctiDg tbe local circulation. Used
internally, it, ns well as tho sulphites or hypo
sulphites of soda, so much recommended, have
no antidotal power. 2d. Tho poison is abso
lutely harmless when swallowed. It is even
given internally to many different animals,
without any effect whatever, while soveral cases
are known where scientific (wo might, perhaps,
add foolhardy) men have taken it themselves
without injury.
This innocuous result is due to the fact that
tho poison is incapable of passing through the
mucous surface, as well as that it is so altered
during digestion as to enter the blood as a harm
less substance. Applied to tho rectum of a pig
eon or tho conjunctive of animals, it had no
effect 3d. The poison is not injurious to the
rattlesnake itself or to any other of its own spe
cies.
This confirms tho conclusions of Gnyon, - cor
roborating also tho testimony of Charles Water-
ton, who made a very venomous South American
serpent bito itself, without injurious result to it.
It is to be regretted that Dr. Mitchell pronounces
against tho value of any internal remedies, af
ter a careful discussion of those most generally
accepted. ^ For the best treatment of a case of
serpent po'ison, we must refer to his memoir,
merely remarking that ho attaches considerable
value to alcoholic stimulants, especially where
the paticot was not intoxicated at the time of
being bitten.—Philadelphia Ledger.

arrived at the Lady Superior. “I have come,”
said one of them, “because I am told that the
asylum is not quite as you would wish it to be—
not adequate to the wants of the children. It you
would accompany me, we shall satisfy ourselves
on the subject.”
“Pardon me, madam, hut on Friday every
thing is in disorder; besides, tho hour for attend
ing tho patients and changing tho dresses is at
hand, and it is an unsightly spectacle.” “I
know that; but tbose who sootho offer a double
and touching lesson.” “But, your Majesty—(for
tho superior bad by that time divined tho Em
press.) “Come, my dear madam, let us bavo no
calling of Majesty; I am only a charitable visitor
who feels for my fellow creatures—that is all."
They then proceeded to tbe wards. “I am bound
to inform you madam,” said the Superior, “that
just at tho present moment you are disposed to
see tjic hospital in its real state.” “I prefer it
so, my dear lady; it is in that condition that I
wish it."
There was nothing for her but to ob:y. The poor
children were some atleep, some at play, and a
lew crying. Tbe august visitor questioned the
Lady Superior on all matters that presented them
selves, just as a good-hearted mother initiated
Into the knowledge of all this world’s tvretfhcd-
ness would have done. A11 of a sudden, in tbe
middle ot one of the corridors, sn old man, of tall
st ituri-and prepossessing features, approached the
Empress and tell upon his knees. “You are the
K -troness ot helpless children; Ibe providence ol
aternul Societies, the foundress of the Orphans’
Home of the Prince Imperial. I recognize tbe
Empress. Oh! your Majesty, obtain for me my
pardon—I have passed through fortyyeare ol good
and loyal services.” And the old man burst into
tears.
Tho Empress turning to the Superior, asked in
a lew tone, “Who is he ? ” “A guilty man, wty>
fora moment of signal folly, his bee;;condemned
to three years imprisonment-, aDd who has already
undergone a third of his punishment, st eighty*
one years of age! ” “Pardon 1 Pardon! ” again
he cried, still kueellng. “I promise you,” said the
Empress, who wa* agitated, “I promise yon thati
shall remember this cry tor forgiveness.”
A Ec.ne of a different kind awaited her majesty,
for in one ol the beds lay a young girl ot seven
teen, affected with incipient consumption. The
Empress approached and spoke to her. The next
day her Majesty sent Dr. Coivisart to sco her; she
had thought that if the patient were sent to tho
climate of the south the poor girl would havesomc
ebante of recovering, aud tbe doctor came to con
sult the hospital physician. The sisters of tbe es
tablishment and the patients will ucver allow this
argust visit to fade from their miuds: tbe heart is

Interesting Particulars ol' the Burning of
Baruum’s Museum.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
Our telegraphic dispatches hnve already
given a brief account of the destruction of
Barnum’s Museum and Menagerie, in New
York, by fire, on tlie night of the 2d instaut.
The Evening Mail of that city has a graphic
account of the calamity, from which we malic
tho following extracts:
At thirty minutes past midnight, in tlie
midst of a howling blast of wind and drift
ing snow, the alarm of fire was raised last
night, aud smoke and flames were seen issuing
from the third floor of Barnum’s Museum.—
The police, with the aid of what few citizens
were at hand, rushed up the Broadway steps
ol the building, and forcing open the doors,
aroused the inmates from tbe terrible
destruction which awaited them.
Most of these people,' such as the fat boy,
the Nova Scotia giantess, tlie Albino girls,
tbe living skeleton, eta, were sleeping upon
the third floor. The beautiful Circassian
girl, Zuleima, her liair standiug on end as
usual, went to bed about eleven o’clock, but
lind fitful dreams until a little after midnight
when site awoke, and hearing the disturb
ance upon Broadway, rushed to the windov
and threw up the sash. Fancy her feelings
as she saw pouring out into the street beneath
her from the second-story window, a volume
of red and hissing flames. She threw on a
wrapper and commenced to shake the giant
ess, Miss Swan, of Nova Scotia, who was in
a deep and profound slumber. The police
men and citizens who had rushed into the
building burst open the doors of Zuleima's
apartment, and one of them catching Iter in
his arms, took her to the street in salcty, al
though the staircase down which he passed
was on fire. She was deposited in Taylor’s
saloon, where other curiosities soon made
their appearance. It took four men to carry
out the lilt boy, and the giautess was obliged
to lean upon three for support
The flames spread with fearful rapidity,
and the yells of the animals were nppal-
ing to hear. • The tigers and lions grew furi
ous, maddened with the flumes and smoke,
and they dashed against the sides of their
cages, bounding from end to end in their
vain efforts to free tlifinselrcs. Efforts were
made iff both front and rear to save such of
the miimals as could with safety be handled.
A kangaroo, two pcllicans, one giraffe, a leop
ard. azcbra,two camels, somegazelles, apum-
ber of fancy birds in cages, a Japanese hog,
a silver pheasant, and a few other animals
were saved, and turned into the cellar of
Taylor’s -Saloon where they slunk away to
corners and darkness, as thoroughly fright
ened as the giantess and fat woman on the
floor above them. The giraffe was moved
with great difficulty and received a number
of set ere cuts on hi3 hindquarters.
After the flames had been raging for more
than an hour a half-burned tiger leaped from
one of the Broadway windows into the street.
The firemen sent up a shout of horror, the
crowd fell back, a stream of water was
turned upon the poor, blinded, half-dead
animal, when a heroic policeman stepped up
and ended his miserable life by discharging a
well-loaded pistol.
Among the animals burned were two fine
Bengal tigers, the learned seal and several
other seals; the happy family, with its col
lection of monkeys, mice, owls, rabbits, cats,
etc.; the large lion with four beautiful cubs,
a floe aud extensive collection .of birds, the
famous humbug monkey gorilla, a Polar bear,
tbo gnu, the American bears, etc. All of the
extensive Gordon Cummings’ collection of
skins, tusks, skulls,etc., was destroyed, as well
as tbe other varied and valuable contents of
tbe museum. Tbe loss by this fire is esti
mated at over half a million of dollars.
At the time of the fire there was .no insu
rance upon the animals. The collection of
animals belonged to Van Amburg & Co., Mr.
Barmtm being one- third owner. They were
vnlned at something over .$100,000. Mr.
Barnum is said to have been out of town
when the fire took place. When he received
the dispatch announcing the calamity, he
took it very coolly, and doubling it up and
putting it into his pocket, simply announced
bis determination to proceed with building
his new museum. It is well known that he
owns the lots on the corner of Broadway and
Houston streets, where he will erect a beauti
ful fire-proof struoture.
Tiie origin of tbe tire is still a mystery. It
appears to have broken cut in the menagerie.
Mr. Barnum’s loss is estimated at about
$300,000. How much of this is. covered by
insurance has not been ascertained. The
buildings burned were valued at about $40,-
000.’ A number of people who had shops in,
under and around the Museum lost heavily,
some being entirely burned out, while others
were damaged by water.
Macon Cotton SSarbet.
OFFICE DAILY TELEGRAPH,
Macon, March 11, 1867.

Cottox.—A good demand prevailed in our market
all day.and all good Cotton offered foqpd ready buy
dTs. We quote 24J£cents for the best grade* sold, at
which figure our market closed active.
Bryce & Co.’* Weekly Cotton Circular.
New York. March 6.1688.
Cotton—Our own market, os will be noted from
the summary below given, has been excited, irregu
lar and extremely active, the sales of the woek foot
ing up 4S.OOO bales, a very large proportion of which
have been on speculation; exporters have bought to
some extent, but as n rule the buying has been done
by a speculative class of shippers, who have confined
themselves almost necessarily to transit lots. Spin-
Ders have kept out of market, goods not keeping pace
with cotton. As usual with a speculative demand
Medium and Low grades have sold most rapidly,
speculators gpt caring to pay much above tho price
of Middlings for any kind of cotton; aud in the ab
sence of any consumptive demand high grades, at a
relative difference in price, hjivc been absolutely
dull, even on tho most excited days. Cotton to ar
rive has moved easily, but almost all sales are mnde
deliverable from store within stated periods. Some
contracts for future delivery have been sold on a ba
sis of current prices; one sale was made for May de
livery at 2fe. for I.ow Middlings. Buyers and sellers
seem equally shy about making contracts for future
delivery, the question of receipts and speculative
combinations making the risks of such operations
very great.
Gold has been very steady during the week, not
varying much from 141. Sterl-ng exchange has been
heavy, but neither gold nor sterling have had their
usual influence in the market. Liverpool freights
likewise declined, for with prices.here above those in
Liverpool exportersca n notshUi, and engagements by
steam have been made at^d. The excitement in
cotton has not been confined to this city but seems to
have extended to all tlie Southern ports, and the quo
tations received by toleeraph from the out ports are
nil above the parity of either New York or Liverpool.
Middlings at 25c. shipped from this "city by steam at
: vl. freight and gohl HI, require to be soldatlO’-d.
in Liverpool to make a new dollar for an old.
General Remarks.—The two great cotton markets
of the world, Liverpool ar.d New York, have this
week been seemingly manipulated by a speculative
clique who have introduced stock-jobbing principles
into their operations, and thus far with good success.
In our late Circulars we liavo called attention to the
large speculative flement which every fluctuation
wat increasing in volume, and to the fact that the
movements of the staple for sometime to cutnc would
lie arbitrary and based on no law or principle save
that of puro speculation. Countless rumors arc afloat
concerning tho intentions and capacities of tho clique
now at work, but nothing definite is known and this
very uncertainty adds to their power. A general re
port is that it is the intention of these operators to pur
chase a sufficient amount of cotton to hold the bal
ance of power in both Liverpool and New Y'ork, and
to depress or stimulate prices as it may suit their in-
tcro-d. YVhcther there ho any truth in this theory or
ii -’. it i< certain that cotton “to arrive” iu Liverpool
has been strangely acitated during the week, and
prices have advanced to almost the highest point of I
the season. Among tho conservative part of the
community tho opinion se: ms general that the appli
cation of stock-gambling rules to tho cotton trade
will be more to the advantage of there outside the
ring” than to those in it, for although the purchase
of sixty or a hundred thousand bales causes prices to
advance most rapidly, cotton has too many sources
of supply, and stocks aro too widely scattered to ena
ble any combination, to mako a successful "corner.”
The excitement outside the trade scc-m3 to increase as
prices advance, and many who had abundant argu
ments to prove that cotton must decline when Mid
dlings were 15c. have now equally numerous reasons
why it should advance above 25c. YV'e can only reit
erate what we have said in previous Circulars con
cerning the present speculation, and remark that
prices may run up to almost any point without excit
ing surprise, and tho only reason assignable would be
the inevitable reaction from undue depression.
Tho receipts continue on a liberal scale, and point
in our opinion to 2.350,000 bales for the year, yet sev
eral sections aro reported as nearly sWent of cotton,
and points where the receipts were expected to be
heavy attho present timo fail to show the anticipated
increase. Prices are now os high as any planter ex
pected to obtain when tho last crop was planted, and
it would seem that cotton would bo pushed forward
freely ii it be in the country. Y’cton the other hand
it may benrged with no little loro, that planters
having sold so much of their crops at ruinously low
figures will hold back what they have left and strive
for the uttermost point of the market. There is
is no doubt that tho next crop will be vastly increased
by the present range of prices, and there seem* almost
:-n u!t<rt-e--a!i--:i of the cry of ":i-. - r- rr.ii: y nr.”
Private advices all go to show that great efforts are
being ui3do to plant, although in the faeeof countless
obstacles, and on principles'entirelv different from
those which prevailed a year since. No doubt many
planters, especially largo ones, have been utterly
broken by the events of tho past six* months, but
others wilt arise to take their places and enough y
remain to raise a fair crop with a good season, and
is at least reasonable to hope that the season of 1803
will bo a profitable one after two such terribly unfor
tunate years ns 1SG6 and 1S67.
flaw York Dry Goods Harks*.
Prices hsve been folly sustained for domestics cf all
kinds during the week, and in sonic instances there
has been an advance ; but tbe eagerness to bay has
not been as great as it was the week previous, and
consequently there has been a great willingness to
sell. This chaDge in the temper of the market has
been occasioned by a slight reduction in the prioe of
the raw material, and, in a small degree, perhaps to
the political complexion of affairs in Washington.—
There are no symptoms of a reaction in the market,
however; and, ns the Spring business can hardly be
said to have fairly commenced,it i.-not likely that any-
falling off will be experienced, just as tho large pur-
chasors fiom tbe West begin to make their appear
ance. The extreme coldness of the weather renders
trade a little backward ; but many of cur largest
houses express themselves well satisfied with the
present State of affairs. The importation* of Brit
ish and continental fabrics are very nearly-up to the
full amount ot the corresponding period last year,
and tiie receipts for duties at tho custom house show
that there is no falling off in general trade. Woolens,
which have been in so depressed a condition for the
the past year, give healthy indications of improve
ment.
In unbleached domestics there is still considerable
activity, and a rise or full one cent a yard in heavy
sheetings is reported- The stocks in first hands are
very much run down, and in some cases there is an
actual scarcity of standard qualities. There has been
less activity in bleached goods; but the stock of fa
vorite makes being greatly ^reduced cauors a stiffen
ing of prices, and in some cases an advance. But the
largest jobbing bouses are well supplied, ai d there is
nothing like a speculative movement manifested
among buyars.
Brills aro in good demand, and tho prices aro firm.
Corset jeans sell readily to supply a steady manufac
turing demand. Stripes and checks show sorno im
provement at firm prices. Denims and cottonades
are in good demand ; prices of light and heavy grades
aro well sustained. The advanced prices of last week
for printing cloths, in the gray, have not been fully
kept up; hut there has beena slighta-lvanco in prints,
and the demand continues active. Ginghams aro in
good demand, and readily placed at full prices.—-
1’rinted lawns are not yet fully in season, but prices
are firm. Balmoral skirts sell freely. Rolled jaco
nets and cambrics are steady at the quoted prices.
In muslin de laincs there is considerable activity.
Tho supply is not excessive, but the assortment is
good, nml the new styles are very elegant and attrac
tive. Prices are fully sustained. Italian cloths of
the Atlantic Company’s make are in good demand,
and tbe hotter grades command full j-riccs. There is
increased activity in cloths^vith an improvement of
prices; and the same may bo reported of fancy cassi-
incres and satinets, though tho inferior qualities arc
not so much inquired for. Kentucky jo:,ns sell more
freely. There fans been considerable doing in ituro-
Pean goods during the week. The auction rooms have
been largely supplied, and the sales have heen liberal,
at more satisfactory prices for the importers than hare
been realized in sometime. The higher and choice
kinds of goods, however, are withheld fora bettor
market.—A". 1'. Independent, oth tint.

The first part ot onr road lay through tho lovely
valley of too Piabanba, the river whose acquaint

accompanied us forthe first forty or fliur mllesof onr

KAYTON’S DYSPEPTIC PiLLS-Cures Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia.
Report]
Liverpool, February 21, 1868.
Cotton.—Tlie sales of the woek sum up 145,310 bales,
including 79,540 taken by the trade, 24^tp.declared for
export, an 1 4‘),94l for speculation. - Transaction* in
arrival Cotton hnvo been on an uuusutlty largo and
numerous scale from day to day.
Tho advance obtained this wi ck is dne in no small
measure to tho rapidly declining stock in Liverpool,
and to tho conviction, which seems to be deepening
ns tho season advances, that we will not have a suffi
cient supply orCutton to satisfy the present enormous
demand. On Jannary 1st it was estimated that tho
tho stock in spinners’ hands was 83,14)0 bales, since
when they have taken 67,535 bales per week, and if wo
suppose tho consumption has averaged 55,000 per
woek, we make out that their present stock will be
about 1SO.OOO bales. At the commencement of tho
year consumption was about 52.010 bales per week;
now it is about 5S,000 bales, showing that spinners
have now on hand about two weeks’ supply oi er and
all >vo tho stock which it is usual anu prudent for
them to hold lit this season of tho year. On the Con
tinent. in America nnd in this country, consumption
has increased to such an extent, that should con
tinue at the present rato it will take about 1,000.000
bales )f Cotton to sati*fy it above what was required I
last year. The question then is, where is this 1.IK)>.000
bales to oothe from ? To this question wc can find no
satisfactory answer,-; * India and Egypt will send us no
more, if so much, ns they did last year, while from
America it is doubtful if at tho. year’s end wc will
have received much more than we did last year, when
wo take into consideration tho low point nt whioh
stocks there are now and have been during this
ici-'in. ...
A consideration of theso circumstances, the compar
atively low price i f Cotton, more cheerful news from
India, profound pesoe in Europe, and tho natural
ot im ir-im : ! -■ t- rril.le dullm..** - f 1. - autumn and
winter, have no doubt stimulated Spinners to enter
the market freely andpurehaso to a very largo extent.
This very fact should not be lost sight of, nnd Spin
ners are now in a position to purchase sparingly for a
few weeks, which would no_doubt frighten weak

During lato years tho public have been misled by
largo bottles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of
Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of these lfnve been
frauds upon the sick, for they not only contain but
little, if any. Sarsaparilla, but often no curative in
gredient whatever. Hence, bitter disappointment
has followed the v o cf tbo various extracts ef Sarsa
