COTTON TRADR FROM NEW Y OKKTOTHESOUTH DIRECT. At a meeting of the Council of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce on August 9, Mr. More- head, of Mississippi, was introduced by the Chairman as a delegate from a Convention re cently held at Memphis, United States, to dis cuss projects for the Internal Improvement of the Southern States and the extension of their commercial relations. Mr. Morehead. said he was anxious to make a statement to the Cham- _rij-itAS planting in Calhoun county . Mr - Morehead was then introduced to the ‘ clTU r7 . u t 4 Chamber. He stated that he had been delegated by the Chairman of the Convention held at Memphis to wait upon the Chamber and other commercial bodies in England, and to lay. be fore them some of the results of that Conven tion. The object of the Convention, which was attended by delegates from all the Southern States, and from some of the Nothern and Wes tern States, was to discuss projects for the in ternal improvement of the Southern States end the extension of their commerce, and he be lieved its resolutions expressed the convictions of the people of these States. The products of the South were mainly ship ped direct to Europe, but its imports came by way of New York, which, purely as a matter of business, was clearly a great expense and dis advantage. He then alluded to the capabilities of some of the Southern ports. Galveston was the chief port of a region larger than France, and capable of growing the finest cotton in the Union, Sea Island only excepted. Land could be purchased there at a much cheaper rate than in the Northern States, and was very much more fertile. New Orleans commanded no less than 20,000 miles of inland navigation, and he sug gested the route by water from England, via New Orleans, to St. Louis as a less expensive and pleasanter means of reaching the Western and Northwestern States than by New York.— Norfolk might be considered the great natural port of the Middle States, and with a central position, splendid harbor, and railway com munication to all parts of the Union, it was ad mirably adapted for a direct line of steamers between Liverpool and the Southern States.— Several railway companies were willing to assist such a line by taking shares; and he did net think it improbable that the neighboring States might assist such pioneer line with a subsidy. The advantages of free trade, so well under stood in this country, were gaining adherents in the States, where a strong “ free trade V party already existed and was vigorously in action, and he thought he might safely say that succes sive changes would now be made in their tariff in the right direction. In regard to emigration he remarked that very little of the great stream now flowing into the States found its way into the South. Emigrants were carried away to the Northwestern States, where any return they might make to Europe was obscure and doubt ful. Emigration directed to the South would return an unquestionable advantage to Europe, for the emigrant, if he did not himself grow [[i i cotton, would release those who would. The :ua T , j " ! Southern States had every advantage in soil and nobe a moderate supply of^old corn yet m climate, but no labor equal to their power of production.

In answer to various questions asked by dif ferent members of the Chamber, Mr. Morehead I stated that in most of the States white labor 1 could be employed in the cotton fields through out the year without disadvantage. He had him- eelf, in Mississippi, employed new labor from Canada and from Ireland for two years with snccess, and regarded it' as a thorough test In regard to Chinese immigration he said that the fever for these laborers was not so great in the Southeastern as in the Southwestern States, but he expected that there would be from 40,000 to Macon, August 28th, 18C9.

There was no com parison between the advantages they offered, and those presented by the Northwestern States. Very few employers in the Sonthern States paid wages, but those who did paid men ten to thirteen dollars per month, and women and boys abont six to four dollars less. These rate3were exclusive of board and lodging, which were always provided. The usual system, how ever, was a co-operative one. The employer provided the laborer with house and garden, as signed him a parcel of land, and then gave him half the crop, the laborer paying all expenses of cultivation, or one third of the crop net, the employer paying all expenses. Before the war one hand could raise from 10 to 12 hales of cot ton. Since the war four bales was the average, the half of which would bring thfe laborer $200 gross, or 3160 net. Smart men would, of course, make much more. The Chairman then assured Mr. Morehead that the Chamber would assist his project in every way in their power. Mr. Morehead thanked the Chamber for the promise, and mentioned that the Convention would reassemble nt Louisville, in Kentucky, on the 13th of October next. Wonderful Phenomenon. THE BOCEY MOUNTAINS IN A SECOND TWILIGHT OF CHBOMATIO SHADES — BUPEBSTITOONS OF THE MOUNTAINEERS. Cheyene Correspond*nee of (he Omaha Herald.] Your paper having recently taken quite an in terest in all that pertains to the growth of the agricultural and mineral resources of Wyoming, will not, I presume, refuse a little space to the feeble description of a meteorogical phenome non that is now transpiring each evening in the skies above the Rocky Mountains in that roman tic territory. Since the recent solar eclipse, they have, upon the summit of the Rocky Mountain chain, what the inhabitants call a “second twilight," so bril liant with colors of mist, shade and fire-lights as to pain the eye'in its steady gaze npon them, and to leave an impression on the mind that will never be obliterated. Just as the sun is about to set, a heavy mist gathers on the mountain, and growing dense and denser, it shuts out entirely the last expiring rays of that luminous body; then all is darkness or nearly so, for almost 30 minutes; when, all at once,’the heavens become lit np from the horizon oil around, far up to a small circle in the centre, with a livid glare of the most daz zling chromatic colors, seeming as though a tremendous bonfire was ablaze below, throwing its glare in clear and steady flame above. This gorgeous and fearfully beautiful scene lasts for Texas Correspondence. Richmond, Texas, August 23, 1800. The great enemy of the cotton planter on this portion of the Brazos, is here in good earnest. A few more days, and fields will be entirely cleaned out. Already a good many look as if they had been singed over by fire. The worm is ten days earlier in his visit than he was last year. If half a crop is realized, it will be as much as can be hoped for. Half a crop here means half a bale to the acre. Some acres will make more than this, but others will fall below it. In consequence of the better cul tivation bestowed on it this year, the crop will average-as much to the acre as it djd last, al though the worm has appeared earlier than he did thpn. Unless some means can be adopted to curtail the devastation of the worm in this section, it does really seem as if cotton would have to he abandoned as a crop. Those who have been en gaged in its cultivation here, for the last four years, that have met their current expenses, are few and fortunate. From the statements of correspondents in the Telegbaph, Georgia is at least a decade ahead of her surrounding sisters, in agricultural sci ence, if she is not a full quarter of a century. As things are moving, in less than six years the lands in her cotton belt will be worth from fifty to a hundred dollars an acre,, although they now sell foT but little over a tithe of this sum. David Dixon, and a few others indued with a similar spirit of progress, have done a great deal more for the State in their (juiet, unostenta tious way, than the most prominent of her poli ticians. There is no reason why Columbus, with the Chattahoochee’s unsurpassed facilities for manu facturing purposes, running at her feet, should not be a second Lowell in a very few years, while there is every indication that she will be. But the idea of establishing manufactures at every shoal and cross road in the State, does seem a little impracticable not to say Utopian. Some efforts have been made to establish manufactures in Texas, but I am not inclined to think that these efforts have been covered with marked success. The experiment at New Brunfels, by a colony of those proverbially thrifty people, ‘Germans’, was progressing satisfactorily, when the works were much damaged by the late flood. It is said they are soon to be rebuilt on a grander scale than ever. But the time for es tablishing manufactures in Texas is not yet— At present she offers too many other fields for profitable investment and quick returns, for capitalists to be anxious to invest in manu factures, whose profits must be counted some days hence. A gentleman who has just returned from a trip seventy-five miles above "Waco, reports crops of every description to be of the best kind.— He represents that portion of the State ns being rapidly filling up with the best sort of emi grants, and the health of the country through which he passed, all that could be desired.— Crime, he says, is greatly, on the decrease and good order prevails universally.

Washington, August 23 The Navy Department has advices from Admiral Rowan, comaanding the Asiastic squadron, that the Rebels hate been de feated on land and sea. The rebellion is absolute ly squelched. The plate printers' strike still continues. There is no present prospect of relief from the fractional and small note currency famine. Revenue to-day nearly half million. T. C. Fairel’s and Dwyer & Co.’s, distilleries, of New York, and Senator J. H. Henderson & Co.’s, tobacco factory, at Keokuk, have been seized by file officials. There are ugly rumors of coldness between Bout- well and Grant. Senator Osborne, of Florida, has furnished lists of the persons he desires removed from naval and army employment in Honda. Official circles discredit the reported rejection of the Chinese treaty. Fractional currency shipments for the week, one hundred and seventy-five thousand dollars, includ ing ten thousand to Charleston and ten thousand to New Orleans. Rawlins is better, but his physicians forbid him from attending to business. It is stated that Delano opposes the repeal of the income tax, prefering rather to relieve manufactur ers for years. The internal revenue is estimated at two hundred millions. Refreshing thunder showers here to-night. 0 r v .

Swatze : Yours, inclosing a slip cut from the Macon Telegbaph, was duly received. The idea of provoking a controversy through the newspapers even occurred to me when I sent yon my letter of a recent date, or I should have hesitated before allowing it to leave my hands. As it is, self-respect constrains me from making any reply to the article yon inclosed, signed “Niggers.” It is simply a brutal assault upon tbe most self-sacrificing set of beings that ever lived, proving beyond all argument the utter in gratitude of at least the author of it, and from my knowledge of the race I am quite satisfied that he makes no false claims when he writes himself a “nigger." The spirit of the whole thing is so revolting that I think a just and fair answer to it is itself. What Teacher can read, it withont feeling, not only its great ingratitude, but its insult? What contributor of Charity at the North can read it withont feeling humiliated? What active worker in this Missionary cause, such as Howard, Lewis, and Rust can read it and not feel that their services are poorly re- paid? ' Gen. A. A. Lawton, of Savannah, at the Ag ricultural meeting at Greenbrier Springs, was next called upon, who made a feeling response and paid a merited tribute to Virginia. None of her own sous, he said, looks at the past with more pride and to her her futnre with more ap prehension. Virginia, has. during the past ten years, produced more noble men than any like people ever did in the same time, as was shown at or near the conclusion of the war. He hoped all here would attend the Fair soon to be held and vindicate the Empire State; that Virginia and Georgia were full of sympathy for each oth er, though the products of their soil were differ ent, and that they both would find, perhaps, that the concentration of their forces at present on internal and material interests would be better for themselves and the country, and that there was'some private, comfort stfll left, although the wings of ambition had been severely clipped.

The best schools in Europe are found in Bavaria, in Saxony and in Prussia, and ths best in these countries are found in Munich, in Dresden and in Berlin. In these cities the schools are conducted with primary reference to mental development,’ and, as a means to this end, the subjects of stndy are so classified and taught as to lead to the acquisition of knowledge in a scientific manner.- I notice,-as I go about to the different school-rooms of a large educa tional institution, that they are all well supplied with the means of illustrating every topio that is taught. In one school-room in which botany is studied, I saw the plants for analysis, all growing in pots, which were arranged on shelves abont the room. In another room, where zoology is taught, the. students were supplied with specimens of the objects they are required to study, and these specimens are so arranged that they are always before the student as he studies, or near him to be used as illustrations as he recites. The teachers do not require rales to be committed to memory at first, and then all mental operations to be performed in a blind obedience to the rale, but they require the rale, or general principle, to be derived from an observation which the pnpil is led to make for himself. In the study of language the pupil is led to the principles of construction by a study of con structions he has himself been led by lus teach er to make, and language is in no case to be used by the pnpil until he possesses the ideas and thoughts which the language expresses.— The teacher of geometry first teaches by object lessons the principles upon which geometrical reasoning depends. Then the pupil is led to 'the solution of problems by means of his own reasoning, in which he himself makes an ap plication of the principles he himself has learned. The papU is trained to observe by observing, to reason by reasoning, find to do by doing. In the principal German schools I have visited, the teachers have for the primary ob ject of their thought, as they teach, the wants of the human mind. Tho German mind is natu rally metaphysical. There is, accordingly, in all plans of German education, a thorough class ification of subjects of stndy. The schools are graded and the different grades are related to one another in accordance with the plans of study. In Bavaria, Saxony and Prussia there are schools called Volks schools or people’s schools in which the common branches of learn ing are taught, and which all the German youths are required by law to attend, from the age of seven to ten years in some States, and from six to thirteen years in others. The law is popular with all classes, and is rigidly enforced. The common people, as well as the upper classes all give a cordial support to the common schools. -At 8 o’clock in the morning the streets of the city are filled with pupils of the primary schools and students of the higher grades, each with his satchel of books tied to his back, marching cheerfully to his ap pointed place for study. After 8 o’clock no children of school age are to be found away from their classes. Each parish of a town must have at least one primary or elementary school, and most towns in ad’dition to these elementary schools, have at least one upper burgher school, as it is called. The German children at school all appear neatly dressed, and, what I am sorry to say, is not always true in my own country, these chil dren are trained to good manners. When a stranger enters a school-room the children all rise and remain standing until the stranger is seated, or until they are invited to be seated, and when the visitor leaves the children all rise and remain standing until he has closed the door behind him. This practice is observed in all the grades of schools, from the first primary up to the senior class in the university. If a parent is not able to clothe his child prop erly for school, then he is clothed at the public expense. The children of the rich are found sitting on the same seat with those of the poor, and the noble do not hesitate to allow their chil dren to receive their elementary training in the same classes in which the children of the hum ble are trained, and the boy who has the most brains, and explains his lesson best, is the best fellow while his young school days last, whatev er distinctions may be made in after life. After leaving the common schools the German youth can enter upon the duties of active life, or they may enter the trade school, where they remain three years, and prepare for the various trades they may choose to follow. Then he can follow his trade, or he can enter the industrial school, and in two years graduate an architect, an engi neer, a chemist, etc., or, if he wishes, he can pass from the industrial school to the polytech nic, school, and prepare to take a high position in the mechanic arts. The student may leave the common school also and enter the ; Siam, where Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Rheto ric, History and Chemistry aro taught. From the gymnasium the student can take up the study of a profession, or he can go thence to the uni versity, where he can fit himself to take the highest position in the profession he chooses, and where he can know all the subjects of his study as sciences. In the gymnasia the students are required to study and recite thirty-two hours per week, and before graduating to pass over a course of study which requires nine years to complete. The German teachers, as a class are better prepared for their work than the teachers of any other country. They are encouraged to fit themselves for a high excellence in their profession by the preference which is always given to teachers who have a professional training, and by the honor which is everywhere accorded to teach ing as a profession. In Germany the boys are always educated apart from the girls, and a male teacher is always placed over a class of boys, and usually a female teacher over a class of girls. In the graded schools of the cities the teacher continues over the same class from the time it enters the school until its graduation.— The plan requires every teacher to be qualified to teach all the topics found in the whole course of study. Teachers of one State are encouraged by the Government to visit the schools of other States, so that any improvement made in the schools in one section may be rapidly intro duced into the other sections. Teachers are also encouraged to hold conventions for mutual improvement.—Dresden Correspondence of the .Springfield Republican, Bainbbidge, up to 2Gth, had received 41 bales cotton.

I sold the cotton to Swatts Sc Brown, at Baruesville, and anyone doubting the weight can be fnrniibed the receipts from the above parties. I have been farming all my life, and have nsed many different Screws, but this one is the best I ever saw. In packing my crop I never nsed but one mule.
