From our Evening Edition of Yesterday Quick Time.—We received, on Monday eve ning, New York papers of the 2d inst., which came liy tho old mail route, via Richmond, Va., and Wilmington, N. C. This is twenty-four hours less than the recent schedule. We learn that the time will probably be still further re duced. The Central railroad will lie completed in ten days or less. Our New York Correspondence. New York, May 31. The absorbing event ol the hour is the death ot the great Virginian, Lieutenant General Scott. The newspapers have been vicing with eacli other for the most perfect and plain tive obituary, while from all the Executive and Legislative bodies come signs and sympathy for the living, and of houorto tho remembrance of the dead. The funeral will take place to morrow at West Point. Committees from both Houses will he present, as will be General Grant and some of the Secretaries All places of business will be closed. In sliort, it will he a day of National mourning. orII CITY.

The Democrats, aided by the returned sol diers, seeni to lie uniting ou President Johnson in Pennsylvania. They have held some very enthusiastic meetings in the interior of the State. Some of the speakers showed old “ Thad.” Stevens in no very enviable light, and were most loudly encored when most severe. Poor old fellow! lie has been feeling dread fully malignant lately. Tha lukewarmness of some ofhis’party, and the course of the Senate Committee in striking out the vital portion of his obstructing reconstruction plan, have made him feel very old. lie longs to he a boy again in which event he would squelch everybody and everything insisting on following out the dic tates of common sense in supporting the Presi dent. He would even go further—lmpeach the President and his cabinet and substitute himself as dictator. He thought he would lie young enough to undertake thls enterprise in a week. That was four days siuee. lu three days more he will have attained his second childhood, for that is the condition he must have been antici pating. general grants position. The strange statements of Southern disloyalty reported to have been made by General Grant to some editor who had “ discovered him at leisure” have created much comment here, as they are so directly in contrast with his pre vious official reports made directly after he had finished his tour through the South. It looks as though li6 was not so entirely free of that “ vaulting ambition” the facts speak of. THE SARATOGA. FIRE. Thy great central depository of fashion and knavery in the saline city of Saratoga, was des troyed by fire two days since. This was the only hotel of any dimension remaining at that fashionable watering place and its loss will prove a great Inconvenience to the young bloods and belles. BUSINESS MATTERS. The scandalous manipulation ot the affairs of the Erie Railway Company, hits superceded, in pnhlic interest, more important financial con cerns. The “lending director,” who is repeat edly mentioned in the stock reports, is Mr. Daniel Drew. He is permitted to make a foot hall of the business of this important Railroad, greatly to his own advantage. He can depress •or advance the stock 30 per cent. The entire range ot quotation in the last fourteen months, is from 44 to 99; and no time worth less than another. It has paid regularly for some years seven per cent dividend. But there is always just sufficient doubt thrown over the probabil ities regarding the next dividend, to make stock a favorite one with stock gamblers, high and low. There is som.e talk of a big combination to “corner” Mr. Drew, and rescue the road from his influence. There is no doubt of its value as a piece of property. The Produce Exchange is again the Beetle ot much activity, as breadstuff's begin to arrive by canal. Perhaps it will give the reader some idea of the character of our market to say that the receipts of corn to-day were over 300,000 bushels, and it was nearly all sold within an hour’s time, prices declining one to two cents per hushel, and more than one-half being taken lor export. The great anxiety evinced lately at Washing ton to restore the entente cordiale between the President and Congress spiings directly from the reports of the financial agents of the Federal Government in Europe. They represent that the five-twenties would be.loals per ceut high er in Condon and Hamburg, but for the fears which prevail that the -partizans of Congress and the President will conic to blows. Cotton lias declined three cents per pound from the highest point, and cotton goods have also declined. General trade continues very •dull. Willoughby. Whist.— I The following instructive fact, stafcd by* Mr. Lawrence, author of Guy hiving stone, in' his recently published novel, Sans Merci, must, it is believed, be useful to a class of whist-players for whom, without reforma tion, the fate of “eleven thousand English men ” is reserved: “It has been computed,” he said very slowly, “that eleven thousand Englishmen, heirs to fair fortunes, are wandering about the continent in a state of utter destitution because they would not lead trumps with live and an honor in their hands.” > / ' * r # 7- r. rrk : j ' U; f '* , j ' -Wm ' /, niV .' ]/ —.' - ’ T ’ ’ w j ’ it vi-U) ccltlii Constitutionalist. * : 4 1 ''• • ; i.f *.Ajsrr*r. • m ;J. u<<»A » r • :•> • if* .*% t i '4#' / . * ■ ’1 —— ■ i—— ii ■ 11,1 " 1 *' L The Ootton Tax, TUB OTHER SIDE OF THE QUESTION. The tax of five cents per pound having bceh laid upon cotton, it is well to consider the views of those who believe that we iu America can control the cotton market and thereby force the payment of the tax from the consumer. Some days ago, we gave the view ol the. case taken by the New York Chamber of Commerce, in oppo sition to the imposition of the tax. We now give the view's of the other side, in order that our people may understand that a large and in telligent number of people believe that we can force tlie factories to pay our own prices. Iu answer to the argument that nothing lias yet occurred to check the production of cotton in India, Egypt, or Brazil, the New York Chronicle informs us that— Official advices have becu. received from the English commissioners In no less than eight important cotton districts in India, which show that within a year the cultivation of cotton has been greatly diminished in India. The acres devoted to it have been ‘ reduced twenty per cent., and the crop in the still higher ratio of thirty-five per cent, in a single year. For the years ending April 1, 1865 uml 1860, the acres in these districts devoted to cotton were: In 18(15 1,750,4:17 acres In 186(1 1,408,185 acres The cotton produced by these acres was; In 1865 170,484 candies of 478 lbs In 1866 108,634 candies of 47K lbs India has doubtless been enriched by the sil ver introduced by high prices, but the natives have advanced their wages, and tlie very mode rate produce under the above returns shows that the yield per acre is less than one-fourth the yield in our own country; raugiug from forty to fifty pounds per acre only. With rising wages and such paltry return, need we fear the competition of India. As respects Egypt, instead of an increase, the tabular statements of tlie British commercial journals show that there has been a deeline of one-fourth in the crop last gathered compared with tiiat of the previous year. Saint Hilaire, of the French Institute, In a volume recently published, reports that the val ley of the Nile yields four crops of maize an nually from tlie same field. But Egypt, last year, overtasked itself In raising cotton, treb ling the price of labor, and lias thus been obliged to import breadstuff? and reduce the area, devoted to cotton. Tlie slight increase ol 100,000 bales in Brazil this year, due to tlie high prices of last season, will not suffice to cover the decline iu Indiaaud Egypt, The suppression of the slave trade lias diminished labor In Brazil. A field hand can produce more coffee than cotton with less space aud labor. In answer to the argument that England has adapted her mechanism to Surat cotton it is said that she was obliged to do so during the dearth of cotton. She combines it probably with the American staple, as lias used jute or shoddy combination with wool, but its relative value continue nearly the same as before the w ar. When New Orleans middling cotton com mands, as it recently has, thirty cents at Liver pool, the middling Surat sells for sixteen —only about tlie price, it is an inferior article, weak and subject to waste, of short staple and, when we take into view its inferior quality and price, we have little reason to dread its completion. It can' be manufactured by cheap labor only. The objections which infers from the arrivals in England from Brazil and tlie East during the first quarter of 1866 great success in the pro duetiod of cotton, is answered by the English journals ; they ascribe these arrivals to very dif ferent causes, viz, the cheek given to exporta tion in 1865 by the termination of the American war, and tlie consequent decline of prjees, which held a part of the crop until the close of the year. It was not production, but accumulation of that product before and tlie' excess of cotton on this side beyond the expectation of tlie Eng lish, which lias produced the recent panic and temporary decline in Liverpool. It is the co incidence of such excess with the delay in Eas tern shipments which his caused the alarm. The future price of cotton depends not on Brazil, Egypt, or India, but on our own pro duction or over-production. China and Japan have ceased to send cotton to England. Egypt [Gn<t Brazil have now more remunerative crops. HRi-aii command our prices, unless we break [tie market ny I'icrw. m i.-'.a-f, inuu ■Pfuiiu paid two hundred millions ($200,000,- r 000) beyond her average annual payments for cotton for half a supply. The recent decline will stimulate consumption. Great Britain lias set in motion nearly all her spindles, and the world will require, at good prices, nearly three million bales of our cotton, and soon a larger amount. Should a tax he imposed, (here is liitle reason to fear a deeline to twenty cents a pound ; and it may be w r ell argued that while tlie tax draws from foreigners millions into our Treasury, it will set in motion spindles at the South, and tend itself to sustain prices. Should it ever prove onerous it can tie rescinded. Tlie Eiurlish expect this vetirleSs cotton from (Pie Enst, Brazil, and Egypt than they received last year. Again let me say, it was tlie excess from America, not the East, which broke down the priee. The reaction lias-begun. The whole Increase in in the annual supply of cotton from Braz.il and the East, caused by t lie colt ou dearth, was actually less than the increase of produc tion in tlie United Slates iu three years preced ing tlie war. I remain, yours, very sincerely. [Prom the New Yolk Tiim'H. Mr. McGee aud the Fenians. We make the following extract from a letter addressed by Hon. Thomas D’Arcy McGee, Minister of Agrlcutyure in Canada, to a friend in this city. Mr. McGee’s opinions On the sub ject of Fenianism arc not unknown to our readers. It pay be Interesting to some of them, however, to know how the latest development of the organization impresses itself upon the miud of a gentleman who has had, in liis day, some aspirations for the independence of Ire land. We commend Mr. McGee’s observations to the Sweeny branch of the society: “ We have almost ceased to take an in terest in those redoubtable heroes, the Fenians. The only thing we hear of them now-a-days is, that the custom-house officers along tlie line are making 1 a good tiling’ out of the Roberts and Sweeny consignments of arms to frontier ports. It would lie a characteristic denouement of the whole faree, if the arms seized should he sold by Mr. McCullough’s order, at auction, at Rouse’s Point, Oswego, Erie, &e., and if they are, the Canadians should buy {hem in! One does not wonder so much at the abject ignorance of the social, political and military condition ot Canada exhibited by Gen. Sweeny, his Senate and staff, as at their geographical ig norance of this country, which would shame a school boy of ten years old. Why, if they had Montreal and Quebec both, they would still be, at the former over 500, and at tlie latter over 700 miles, inland from the Atlantic. And if they ever got as far East as the Gulf, they might as well, like, old Virgilius in the legend, jump into a bottle and give England the Cork. Every oue knows the Gulf to he a closed sea with two narrow outlets, tlie gut ol Canso and the Strait of Belleisle, which a Single ship-of-war few each could cork up hermetically. If Mr. Sweeny was there, he would be precisely where Admi ral Hope would like to have liith. And this is what these blockheads call 11 making a base against England I”—going seven hundred miles inland from the Atlantic to find a base against an essentially Atlantic power! Poor foolish Killian at least had a wild idea of what to do, tlmugli he came to grief instead of Campo Bello. But I greatly doubt if any of the other set ever hari-an idea, wild or tame. 1 see you have got a new Irish lion in Mr. Stephens. I remember seeing him once iu Kil kenny in 1847 or ’B—a very young man, as in deed, I was myself. He was the son, I think, of au auctioneer’s clerk in that song-celebrated city, and was even then looked upon as a more than usually promising youngster by Dr. Robert Can® and other local celebrities. lam heartily' glad he has come out, for if his mind be of the practical east attributed to it—if he is really earnest and honest—the New .York factions will cure him of Fenianism within six months.” An Historical Incident.— The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger writes : “ Preston King. —lt is not generally known to the public Unit this man was for a time an inculms at the Whito House, and lie was made the Collector at New York Harbor to get him out of the way. But few understand why he committed suicide; hut there are those who have an idea why he committed the act. It was, no doubt, his conscience. It was Preston King who kept Miss Surratt from seeing the Presi dent on the morning of the execution of her mother. The President knew nothing of her being at his door-steps, iu agonizing tears, to ask the stay of the law for oue short day. Old King kept the President from knowing what was goiug on, and, after the execution, it becom ing so apparent that the condemned was inno cent of complicity with the real murderers, that it harrowed up his soul. In fact, hp had no peace after her death, and becoming desperate under the lash of conscience, he committed sui cide. Have the others who hounded this poor woman on to the gallows got consciences ? We believe they, and know they must suffer hitter stings." Wheat Chops.—We are glad to learn that the wheat in this section of the country is ex cellent. It was feared that the rust would materially damage, if not destroy, this impor tant crop ; but further examination satisfied the farrtfers that the red mould upon it did not materially injure it. Iu a few days more, the wheat fields, now waving with yellow, will be stript of their blessings, and the people rejoice in the anticipation of ahuudaut blackberry pies and biscuit— Griffin Star. Gen. Scott’s Letter to Mr. Seward. The recent death of General Scott, and the universal lamentation pver tlie event at tlie North, as well as the respect shown tohis char acter and ability at thejSouth, justifiusthc repub lication of the following letter to the present Secretary of State, written on the day prece ding the first inauguration of Mr. Lincoln : Washington, March 8, 1861.— Dear Sir : Hoping that ip a day or two the new President will have happily passed through all personal danger, and find himself installed an honored successor of the great Washington, with you as the chief of his Cabinet—l beg leave to repeat in writing what I have before said to you orally —this supplement to my printed ‘‘Views” (da ted in October hwt) on the highly disordered condition Os our (so late) happy and glorious Union. To meet the extraordinary exigencies of the times, it seems to me that I am guilty of no arrogance iu limiting the President’s field of selection to one of the four plans of procedure subjoined : I. Throw off the old and assume a new desig nation —tife Union party —adopt tlie conciliato ry measures proposed Ily Mr. Crittenden, or the Peace Convention, and my life upon it, we shall have no new case of secession; but, on the contrary, an early return of many, if not of all the States whieli have already broken off from the Union. Without some equally benign measure, the remaining slavelioldiiig States will probably join the Montgomery Confedera cy in less than sixty days—when this city, be ing inelnded in a foreign country, would re quire a permanent garrison of at least tliirtv tive thousand troops, to protect the Govern ment within it. 11. Collect the duties on foreign goods out side the ports of which this Government lias lost the command, or close such ports by act ol Congreswmd blockade them. 111. ConqTier the seceded States by invading armies. No doubt this might lie done in two or three years, by a young and able General—a Wolfe, a Desaix, or a Hoche—with three hun dred thousand disciplined men, (kept up to tiiat number) estimating a third for garrisons, and the loss of a yet greater number by) skir mishes, seiges, battles, and Southern frVers.— • The destruction of life and property on the other side would be frightful—however perfect the moral discipline of the invaders. The con quest completed, and tiiat enormous wuste of human life to the North and Northwest, with at least $250,000,(MX) added thereto and cui bona ? Fifteen devastated provinces! not to he brought into harmony with their conquerors; hut to be held for generations by heavy garrisons, at an expense quadruple the net duties or taxes which it would be possible to extort from them, followed bp a Protector or an Emperor. JV. Say to the seceded States— Wayward sis ters, depart in peace. In haste, I remain, very truly yours, WINFIELD SCOTT. Hon. William 11. Seward. The Congress Hall Conflagration.—A tire of unexampled extent in the history of Sar atoga broke out yesterday morning soon after, midnight. Private dispatches were sent to persons here, and the MeQuade steamer got ready to go to the scene of conflagration, hut could not obtain transportation. Congress Hall was the first building in flames, and from appearances it is judged the Are was the work of incendiaries. Tiie building was of wood, aud the flames soon succeeded in conquering all resistance. It burned with great rapidity, and but little time was afforded to save any thing. Tlie inmalcs, however, made good use of their opportunities, and all the furniture was -saved. The structure was of tlie largest size in the United Stales, and was to be opened in a few days for the reception of guests lor the summer season. It was iu the form of a hollow square, and tlie flames, therefore, had every advantage. Crossing tlie street, tlie con flagration extended to, the Hamilton Bath House,occupied by Mr. William Guild. This was speedily destroyed. Other buildings were scorched, but the chief loss falls on these ho tels. Tlie Congress Hull property was valued at about $225,000; insured for about one-half. Tlie furniture was insured separately to tlie extent of about $17,000, whict will more than cover the loss. The bar was rented by E. L. Weatherhead, who had in a fine stock of li quors. His loss 1s about $2,500. Congress Hall was owned by Henry 11. Hawthorne, and rented by Hawthorne <fc Wcrtrott, The Ham 000. Thus was destroyed oue of the oldest and best hotels in tlie United States. In summer its rooms were crowded with guests from all parts of the Union; attracted thither by the fashions of the day and tlie salubrity of its waters. It is needless to say it will tie im mediately rebuilt, and the energetic proprie tors are already looking around for designs and materials lor, tlie flew hotel. In the mean time temporary cottages will he put up,' and everything will be done to accommodate as many guests as usual. It is said tiiat tlie fire attained to tlie height it did hv tlie inefficiency' of the fire departuieut. A new steam lire en gine was in town, but afforded no aid, owing to tlie ineonipeteney of those who had it in charge. It made a brilliant conflagration, be ing visible in Troy, twenty-six miles distant. Tlie insurance on the property amounts to $134,750. We are indebted to Messrs. Maude & Wright for Robert Lockhart it Dempster’s weekly Cir cular : Cotton. —At tlie close of last week (lie sus pension of the Bauk Act had a very favorable effect upon our market,and oil Saturday a large business was done at an advance of about per lb. for Aiflerienn descriptions. Since tiiat day tlie arrivals have been very large, and, under the effects of the severe monetary pressure and the failure of a large number of “limited” joint stock companies and mercantile houses, witli continued uneasiness respecting Continental polities, all business has bceii crippled, and the demand for cotton has been confined within the narrowest possible limits—the daily sales be coming less as the week advanced. The Ameri can news, per “ Persia,” reporting the market firm at New York, with middlink uplands at 84c.,’and receipts im all the ports tor the week ending May 2, 33,000 bales, had no appreciable effect upon tlie market, attention being almost wholly absorbed by tlie position ot commercial affliirs at home. Notwithstanding .these unfa vourable inflences however there lias been a very fair demand from the trade; so tar no signs of failing off in consumption cun be observed, and spinners both here and on tlie Continent are very bare of stocks. We quote prices of Ameri can cotton about the same as on this day week, but with the market closing irregular and weak, and prices tending downwards. Sea islands haye been in good demand, being dispropor tionately low ; still, we have to quote a deline in the week of about Id. per tb. Tlie other de scriptions of long staples have been very dull and irregular, but without any quotable decline. East India, and other descriptions of short staples, with a rapidly inereasln stock, have been little inquired for, and must he quoted per lb. lower. The business “to arrive” lias been very limited, American middling from Charleston being quoted at 13d. per lb. for April shipment. Tlie total sales for tlie week are 60,070 bales, including 25,850 bales American, of which 40,950 bales are to tlie trade, 5,140 on speculation, and 4,980 for export. Import, 173,793 bales, including 77,239 bales American. Increase, of stock, 100,570 bales. Tlie quantity now at sea for this port is, from India China 615.000 bales, aud from America 100,000 bales. Manchester Market. —The transactions in this market during the past week have been very in significant, and prices of yarns and cloths have continued to decline. To-day tlie market is very dull, at a reduction of per tb. in yarns since Tuesday. Spinners ate still fully engaged. Money Market. —The action of Government authorising the Bank of England to issue notes beyond tlie amount stipulated in the bank char* ter, immediately allayed thq panic-run upou tlie London banks whieli at one time threatened the extinction of all credit, and enabled the bank to assist many deserving mercantile firms. In Liverpool large profits of late years had fostered a system of reckless trading, which lias now received a most salutary cheek. Many ex tensive failures have taken place, and more are likely to follow. The Will of John McDonough.—The Louisiana Supreme Court has decided against Moses Fox, claimant of $500,000, under the autograph will of John McDonough. The cities of Baltimore and New Orleans were de fendants. Judge Ilyams dissented from the de cision. Tlie majority of the Court say that the proof of the hand-writing is not decisive: that tlie testimony of Nathan Case, one of the- wit nesscss, is iiot creditable, and that there are other suspicious circumstances connected with the ease. Hon. Pierre Soule, counsel for the plaintiff, considers the decision of the Court wrong. European Stocks. —The effect of war in Europe on the securities of the several Euro pean powers has been most marked within a year past. For instance, tlie French three per cents, on tlie 13th, stood at 04%, as compared with 67% at the corresponding dale of 1805; the French Credit Mobilief at 565 f., as compared with 770 ; the Spanish Credit Mobilierat ‘292% f., as compared with 483%f.; as tlie Austrian five per cents, aj Ql%, as compared with 75%.; the Prussian fonr-and-a-half per cents, at 95, as com pared with 102; the Italian'live per cunts, at 40, as compared with 05%. It will be seen that Italy has gone the nvrtst to tlie wall. Singular Divouf.ce Case—A singular di vorce ease came off the present week in the Perry Circuit Court at Canneltom A young indy in Perry Couuty was married, to all ap pearance,. happily ; but ten days after tlie* cele bration of nuptials she filed a petition In the Clerks office for fflvource, setting tip as a plea that the individual she had married wm not a man. The evidence on the trial was sujlicient to establish this fact, and the divorce Was gran ted. A/ " u •' 'V 1 .4 V • 11 ' 1 ■ V Ml,: AUGUSTA, (Ga.)
