Senator in the State Legislature, eati ng the loss sustained by the South, from A e depression in cotton, caused by the late panic, at $70,000,000. ' We have endeavored to show by the follow- statement of facts and estimates that his Addition of loss is too large, and wide of the . The fluctuations in the cotton trade ge always viewed with interest by the people Uah of Europe and the United States. The trip of 185t>-’j7 was a very short one corn ered with that of 1855-’5G. That is, it com prised only about 2,939,000 bales, against 3,- jki.000 bales tbe previous year, showing a de amt of about 201,000 bales. The result was that prices went up to 15c aud IGcper lb—the highest point the article had reached for many tears previously. Notwithstanding tlic di- tanislicd crop of I85G-*57, it yielded more in nlue to the country than the large crop of lvl-’ati. Though prices went up to 15c and I tic, chiefly within the last quarter of the cot ta year ending the first of September, 1857, tet it would be unsafe to estimate the whole cn j> at these figures. It will comport nearer iiib the truth to fix the average at about 13c per lb. Taking tho crop at 2,939,009 boles, taj fixing tho average weight at 400 lbs. to i tale, it would make each bale worth $52; viich, if applied to the whole, would give a Wal value of about $152,828,000. The high prices continued to rule until •boat the close of the cotton year, or the 1st of September, 1857, when the stocks in our ports ttn nearly exhausted, and those in foreign puts were very light. The new crops were very backward, aod the twipts into the ports were much less than usn- iL The decline commenced in September last ud the article continued to be depressed un til about the first of the present month, when there were very small stocks in our seaports for the decline to act upon. The planters see- ia* the great dec'ine induced by the October panic, and the derangement in the market for sterling exchange, withheld their supplies front market; hence, at the close of 1857—although tbccronof 1857-’58, it is known, must exceed that of the previous year—the receipts at our mporls exhibits a falling off compared with fi» tame period the year before, or about 435,- WO bales, which must receive the benefit of the present or any future rise that may take place. The total exports from the United States from the first of September last to about the tl»e of J857, embraced about 520.000 bales, against 541,000 for the same period, to the rise of 1856, and against 800,000 the year fwions. The crop of 18G7-’58 is estimated at from 3.W0.OUO to 3,150,000 bales. If we assume that the amountwill be 3,100, Wbales, the distribution will be about ns foi lavs: BALKS Total crop - - - 3,100,000 Exported to Europe - 521,000 Mock ia our ports • 530,000 Staining in the interior and yet to come forward, including the 435,- UK) bales deficiency, - - 2,049,000 From the Baltimore Sun. Kansas—the Election of the Fourth OF JANUARY. A report reaches us that at the election for State officers, in anticipation of the acceptance of the Lecompton constitution by Congress, the frce-State party “ went in” and was suc cessful. . Had anything been needed to settle the territorial controversy, the consummation is certainly in this proceeding. The territo rial legislature, in its special session, had, however, endorsed the Lecompton convention by providing for a. vote upon tho constitution emanating from that body. The subject is now in a condition that should be unexception able to the Congress of the United States.— Whatever may be the fact respecting the vote of the 4th of January, there is no reasonable ground for prolonging the issue in the arena of national politics. Every well-balanced mind in the country will approve of the most summary, lawful, and equitable proceeding for the final adjustment of the Kansas difficul ty, Aud every roan knows full well that the most effectual process by which to arrive at the end proposed is to admit Kansas as a State into the Union with the constitution adopted by a vote of the people on the 21st of Decem ber last. It should not be necessary to urge such a measure upon the national legislature. The propriety of the act is so palpable and obvious that hostility to such a proceeding can scarcely affect a higher tone and character than captious opposition. In reviewing the position and opinions of prominent public men upon this vexed ques tion, it does not appear to us that, outside of the republican party, there is any serious cause of dissention, as tho difference is really unim portant. It is nnrrowed to a question about the expression or exhibition of popular sover eignty. One man thinks that on the constitu tional organization of a State popular sover eignty must be primarily and ultimately ex pressed by the people themselves at the ballot- box. Another considers that the primery ex pression of the popular will is sufficient, and that the sovereignty may be delegated, the people possessing the inalienable right to as sert and demonstrate their sovereignty at any time when they may deem it expedient to do so. Abstract views and opinions may be in dulged upon such an issue as this to almost any extent; but for all practical purposes the effect is the same. If the people vote upon constitution framed and approved by a con vention of delegates, it is rarely the case that any one voter will approve an entire instru ment of the kind, lie takes what he esteems the evil with the good, for the sake of the lat ter, and reserves in his own person the right and the power to take measures at any future time to amend or remodel the instrument.— This, doubtless, has been the case invariably where a vote has been had upon original or re vised constitutions ; while it is a fact that sev eral States have come into the Union with con stitutions never submitted to a vote of tbc people, some of which have been revised, while others have endured until tbe present time. With respect to Kansas, there remains no further cause of difference or agitation about .ne constitution, if it is true that the free-Statc men have elected their State officers under it. They will thus he prepared to organize as a State at any given time, and hereafter they may amend, alter, or entirely remodel their constitution to suit themselves aud “ in their own way.” If they have not done this, it is only necessary to erect the Territory into a State, and they will assuredly take care of themselves hereafter.

Everybody knows him and he knows everybody, and therefore wc must tell a little story about him. One day tho Peytona was down, past the coton woods, towards New Orleans, when she was hailed by another boat going up. “Hallo! Captain Shallcross.” “Hallo!” was tho answer. “Got any Atchafelnya money ?" “Yes, plenty.” “Well, pay it oat; the bank’s busted or a gwinc to.” “Ay, ay,” said Captian Shallcross. “Clerk, havo you got much of that money ?” “ “About a thousand dollars, I reckon, sir, said the clerk of tho Peytona. “ Well, stop at the first wood boat.” And the Peytona puffed on until a wood boat was seen moored to the shore, with piles of cord wood around, and a small mam with his trow- sers rolled up, anti his hands in his pockets, shivering on the bank beside the boat, in the chill December weather. Wood boat, ahoy!” sang out Capt. Shall- cross. Small man in tbe distance, “Hallo!" “Want to sell that wood 1” Small man in the distance, “Yes.” “Take Atchafalaya money 7” Small man in the distance, "Yes.” “ Round to, pilot," said Capt. Shallcross. The boats bound down stream always have to come around, with their bows pointed up stream, to resist the current of the Mississippi; sometimes they encounter a big eddy and have to take a sweep of some miles before reaching tho landing place. So it was in this instance. So you’ll take Atchafalya monoy for wood will you 7” said the captain, as the boat ap proached tho shore. “Yes," s.-tid the small man. “How will you take it 7” said Captain Shall cross (meaning at what rate). “Take it even,” said small man. •‘What do you mean by even 7” “ Cord for cord, Captain.” “ Put her round again, pilot,” said Capt. Shallcross. “ and wood up at the next wharf boat; I reckon this fellow lias been posted by somebody on Atchafalaya.”—Krchange. 1 50 50 50 no got handsome face 7” Let us leave these parties, for there seems likelihood of a hot dis pute, and, arming ourselves with another che root as a defense against bad smells, retrace our steps through the city, and out at the cast gate.

This is the small foot of the Chinese wo man—a bit of toe and a bit of heel, with a mark like a cicatrice left after a huge cut run- “The parson’s the man, Let him say what he can, Will for gain leave his God in the lurch; Could Iscariot do mote, Ilad it been in his po irer, Than to turn his Lord oat of tho Church.’ It may be easily supposed that on ning up between them.

Tho London Post thus speaks in a recent number, of the traffic in Circassian girls in Turkey : “Perceiving that when the Russians shall have re-occupied the Caucasus, this traffic in white slaves will be over, the Circassian deal ers have redoubled their efforts, ever since tho commencement of the peace conferences, to introduce into Turkey the greatest possible number of women, while the opportunity of doing so lasted. They have been so success ful, that never, perhaps, at any former period, was white flesh so cheap as it is at this moment. There is an absolute glut in the market, and dealers arc obliged to throwaway their goods, owing to the extent of the supply; which, in many instances has been brought by steam, under the British flag. Iu former times, a good middling’ Circa.-sian girl was thought cry cheap at .C100, but at the present mo ment, the same description of goods may be had for £5.’ work and pavillion shaped tea-rooms, perhaps twenty in number. Here self heating kettles of gigantic proportions are always bubbling; and at the little tables the Chinese population are drinking tea, smoking, eating almond hardbake or pomegranates, playing dominoes, or arranging bargains. There are interstices also of vacant laud, and these ore occupied by jugglers aud peepshow men. From the up per room of one of theso tea-houses wc shall have a view of the whole scene, and A’Lin will order us a cup of tea and cakes for lunch. The jugglers and gymnasts beiow are doing much the same kind of tricks which their brethren of England and France perform. Mons. Houdin and Mr. Anderson would find their equals among these less pretending wizards. 1 am told that those peepshows which old tnen are looking into and laughing, and which young boys are not prevented from seeing, contain representations of the grossest obscenity. Hero is a ventriloquist, who, at tracted by our European costumes at the case ment, has come up to perform. “ Give him a a dollar, A’Lin, mid tell him to begin.” That dirty, half-clad wanderer would make another fortune for Barnum. He unfolds his pack, and constructs out of some curtains a small close room. Into this he retires, and immedi ately a little vaudeville is heard in progress inside. Half-a dozen voices in rapid dialogue^ sounds and movements, and erica of animals, and the clatter of falling articles, tell the ac tion of the plot. The company from the tea- tables, who had gathered round, wag their tails with laughter, especially at the broadest sallies of humor, and the most indecorous de nouements. In truth, there is no. difficulty, even to us. in comprehending what is supposed to be going on in the little room. The inci dents are. indeed, somewhat of the broadest —not so bad as the scenes in our old English comedies, such as The Customs of the Coun try, for instance, or The Conscious Lovers • but still they are very minutely descriptive of tho facts not proper to bo described.

After looking a long while, they found them lying piled one on another in a large wooden ease in a shed in the garden.

Years since Lola Montes, when mistress of the king of Bavaria, (who gave her the title of Countess which she bears), introduced in Bavana the Code Napoleon, and it became the fixed law ol the kingdom. Prince Shulkoski, acting upon the movement in Bavaria, also introduced it in Silesia, and had justice administered in accordance with its prescriptions. As trial by jury was one of the in novations made, the Austrian Government suspect ed that the Prince was tainted with Republicanism, and thinking to take time by the fore-lock, he was told that he might absent himself from the Aus trian dominions ten years, and reflect during the time upon the waywardness of the human mind, and the expediency of allowing individual thoughts to question the righteousness of the present. Each year, however, he has been permitted to return to "his estates for a month, to collect rentals and trans act his general business. The ten years will ex pire soon.
