subordinate officers, will secure good order
throughout our limits, ond preserve the peace
and quiet of socieiy Our people are natural

adminstration, as in this case, is guided by

with moderation, their good sense will prompt

The Cutton Fjsklino Abkoad.—A correspon

gard to the cotton heeling abroad :
The recent, accounts of the condition of things
in the Cotton States of America haß sent, the
prices up here and increased the demand for
roods. It is'donbted now if for four or fiye
,cava there will be any organization of labor
which will oeiinit enough cotton to be raised
t, etl'jct the markets It is pointed outthat cot
ton requires constant labor for almost the
whole year. A strike woud be ruin. The
planter must, have control of his crop from the
preparation of the ground in January until
the picking iu December. Great interests

Tbe Assassin Payne.—Rev. Dr. Gilbert of

hours, bus preached on the subject of the exe
cution. He vaid Payne’s real name was Lewis
Thornton Powell. IDs father was a Baptist
minister. While very young he joined the
Church, and was a well behaved peison till he
entered ihe rebel army, against the wishes of
his parents. His mxt downward step was
joining Harvey Gilmore’s gang, and was scon
followed by hie nailing-with Mosbey’s despera
does, which made him still worse. Powell
frankly stated his conviction of the enormity
oi his crime. The moment he 11 id from the
house of Secretary Seward, and leaped into
the saddle of his horse, his mind was waken
ed into a realizing sense of the horror of the
damnable'deed which he had perpetrated, aud
io became miserable, wretched—life itself be
came loathsome.

further, that 1 will well and faithfully perform
