Due notice of Joe's arrival and C'.ottOn— It* Price* and Prospect*. The Round Table contains a highly in teresting article on the prices and pros pects of cotton. It is too long for repub lication in full, but some of the most im portant points are subjoined: PRICES. Georgia cotton is first quoted in Eng land in 1793. viz: Is. Id. to Is. lOd. for up lands, with India cotton at lOd. to Is. 4d. In 1799 Georgia cotton ranged in price in Liverpool from Is. 5d. to 5s~ and India cot ton from lid. to 2s. 4d. In 1803 the quota tions respectively were 8d. to Is. 3d, and 9d. to Is. 2d. Between 180G and 1814 the lowest prices at which middling uplands were sold in England was, in 1811, viz: 12J4d, with Surats at lOJgd. The highest prices known at any period between the year 1800 and the breaking out of the Southern rebellion was in 1814. when up lands were sold in Liverpool at 23d. to 37cL; sea island 42d. to 72d., anti Surats 18d. to 25d. Between 1814 and 1834 the lowest cot ton year was 1829. when uplands were quoted at 4%d. to 7d., sea island from 9d. to 21d., and Surats from 2%d. to 5)^d. These very low prices were no doubt caused by the heavy imports of 1827 and 1828,452,- 240 bales being in stock at Liverpool at the close of the former year, and 405,886 bales at the end of the latter. DURING AND AFTER THE WAR. But to leave these figures for the pres ent let hs see what was the course of prices in this country for cotton during the late war. Tite fluctuations in the article from April. 1861. to July. 1861, at New York, were only 3cents p« r pound.viz: from 12^c tol5%c. In September of that year mid dling uplands had risen to 22c, and in No vember to 22y,e.; in December early, to 2S.V,c, anti on December 25, 1861, to 37c. per”ponim. These were ali gold values, as specie payments were not suspended until January. 1862. The year 1861 closed, how ever, in New York with only about 15,000 bales on hand. The article increased in val ue very rapidly afterward,butdidnot reach its maximum price in currency until the 23d to 25th of August, 1864, when middling uplands were sold in New York at $1.90 per pound. The statistics of 1864 are cu riously interesting anti at the risk of tir ing our readers we present them. The following table shows the per centage of premium on gold, and the actual prices of times in that the total exports at different periods there after: 1796 6,106.726 lbs. | 1831 270,979,784 lbs. 1711 61.186.0S4 lbs. 1832 322.215.122 lbs. 1816 81,747,116 lbs. 11838 595,952,397 lbs. The following are the exports to Great Britain alone since 1850, the total quanti ties since I860, being computed at an aver age of 450 lbs. to the bale: ISM.. ... 670.645.122 lbs. 1861 1854 . ... .695^247,047 lbs. 1863 1856 . ... 892 127.988 lbs. 1864 1857 .. ... 681.907.972 lbs. 1865 186).. . 1 160.000 000 lbs 1866 1861 . 1 . 8*1,0110.000 lbs.

Can the “respectable white man's organ " tell us? We presume “all- tho-talents *' party will have reporters on the ground. Let us have the speech by all means. Tiik City.—Weather continues dry. Hot days and cold nights. Very few country jH-oplein town; they are all busy picking and ginning cotton, or making prepara tions to pitch their w heat crop. There is no money. No business. Everything thus far is in the prospective. The State Road, which is the gTeat artery of trade— the source from which Atlanta derives her chief importance as a commercial point— is doing very little. This is not unusual at this season; but a combination of causes, having their origin in the political situa tion and the shortness of crops, has ren dered the dull season more oppressive this time than usual. Everybody is in debt, and nobody prepared to pay until business opens. We expect better times within the next fifteen days. Mayor's Court.—The exhibition in this museum of city life, yesterday, Was an at tractive one. The crowd was mixed, as usual—** Black spirits and White," etc; and it was proven, or confirmed, that spirits had an intimate connection with the antics of more of the attendants upon his Honor's levee. It would be useless to specify the different charges preferred, or name the defendants to those charges; indeed our space will not allow us to do so, and must l>c content by saying that Mayor W. dis posed Justice promptly, and the lookers on said equitably. Several of his involuntary visitors were evidently dissatisfied. Yet they succumbed, and either ‘‘forked over” or “went up." as decreed l>y tlie Court. And in this connection we may add that tin jH*tty character of most of the charges preferred and adjudicated, was a noticea ble feature of tbc session. The order of the city is improving its standard. The fact is palpable to the most casual observer. June 29,1864.gold 144premium,middling upland cotton $1.47 currency. July 11,1804. gold 185premium, middling upland cotton $1.68 currency. July 21.1804. gold 158 premium, middling upland cotton $1.03 currency. July 28,1804, gold 150 premium, middling upland cotton $1.62 currency. August 3, 1864. gold 158 premium, mid dling upland cotton $1.63 currency. August 18. 1865, gold 158 premium, mid dling upland cotton $1.78 currency. August 23.1864. gold 158 premium, mid dling upland cotton $1.90 currency. August 23,1864, gold 134 premium, mid dling upland cotton $1.80 currency. September 8, 1864, gold 136 premium, middling upland cotton $1.86 currency. December 30, 1864, gold 127 premium, middling upland cotton $1.80 currency. From this it appears that between the 13tli and 18th of June, 1864, with no ad vance in gold, cotton rose 25c per pound, and on the 11th of July of that year, on which day gold reached its maximum of no less than 185 percent, premium, cotton sold at 22 cents per pound less than it did on August 23d, 1864, when gold was 27 per cent, lower. On July 1,1865, the gold pre mium stood at 40 per cent, and cotton at 44 cents per pound; and at the end of 1865 gold stood at 45 per cent, premium and cotton at 46c. Now, while we write, the gold premium is about 45 per cent., and middling uplauds are selling at 25 cents per pound, currency, or about 17}£ cents, gold; about the same price as was paid in August, 1861. Of course the extraordinary fluctations which we have named built up and destroyed many a fortune, Gains and losses in cotton were enormous. Hie latter in many well known instances amounting to no less a sum than $700 or more per bale. Many cases are known of almost ridiculous hardship, in some of them equivalent to a total loss of the cotton on the part of the planter, b}' reason of charges only, where a Ivances had be^njmade him, other than freight and government dues. At this mi - mentwe are credibly informed that an in voice of about two hundred and fitly bales of cotton is offered for sale, in this city, which will result in a loss to the parties interested of more than $100,000. THE STAPLES. The best cotton produced in the world is undoubtedly the growth of our Sea Island that is. the Islands which fringe our Southern coast from South Carolina to Florida. The quantity of this, however, is not important, and. indeed, this year bid fair to be very much less than usual. But. apart from the quantity, the best qualities of Egyptian rank nearly as high in Liver pool as Sea Island, and the cotton of Brazil is nearly all of long staple and takes rank next ,<> Egyptian.

W. J. Echols. American seed has lately been more ex tensively used in Turkey. India, the Bra zils and elsewhere, and that tiie resnlt lias been the growth of a better quality, and that cotton from Smyrna and other dis tricts lias realized in Liverpool nearly as hi<rh a price as the produce of the United States. The quantities of the four principal classes of long cottons which were im ported into England in 1866are as follows: Out of a total import of 3,749,538 hales there were 1.162,745 bales American, 407,- 65G bales Brazilian; 200.221 bales Egyp tian, and 1.807,150 bales India. Our Sea Island seed was planted in Egypt in 1827 and yields finely. It is a singular fact that notwithstanding cotton had been known in Egypt since the days of Pliny, its cultivation had been abaiidond- ed, and it was not until 1831 that any energetic attempt was made to revive it. In that year but 60 bags were made; in the next year about 50.000; and in 1824, no less than 140.000 bales. We have not at hand the statistics of its recent grow th, but are persuaded that large quantities would be exported thence were labor more abund ant. Egypt and Turkey togetherexported u> England nearly 414.000 bales in 1865. Egyptian cotton was first imported into England in 1823, although the cottons of Brazil were known there as early as 1781. To these facts, at may be added that the import of cotton into England, from all countries, was, in 1701. 1.985,868 pounds: in 1751, 2,976,610 pounds; and in ISoO. 56.010,732. The first export of cotton from the Uni ted States to Great Britain occurred In 1784. in which 3'ear an American vessel arrived at Liverpool with eight bales, which were seized by tiie custom bouse authorities upon the plea that they were not the pro duct of this country.
