Death of Cafv. N. A. Causwei.i,. —
We regret tole.un that our friend Na
thaniel A. Carswell, Esq., a prominent
member of the Bar of Wilkinson county,
died lately at his residence in Irwinton.
Mr. had for the last year ormoresuf
fend greatly from ill health, and although
death may have been a relief to him, still
his loss will lie sensibly felt within the cir
cle in which he moved. Ilis family and
near It tends have our deepest sympathy
tor their and the country’s great loss, for
he was cut off to the uiidstoi' his usefulness
attd in the prime of life. —Southern Re
carder.
Cupt. Carswell commanded a company
in tbe 3d Georgia regiment, and il' we are 1
not mistaken, contracted in camp the dis
ease which lias terminated his life. We j
knew Capt. Carswell well aud bear cheer- I

publish this morning, shows for the Con
stitution 45,686 votes, against a registra
tion of 08,088, In tore the recent revi. ion
was added on. This table includes all the
heavy negro counties except Greene,
L >wndes and Marengo, aud leaves the Con
stitution short of half the registered vote in
those counties, liven if all the other
counties were to vote as heavily for the
Constitution as they did for the Conven
tion, it would not add more than 25,iXX)
votes for the Constitution. The thing is
busted, and carpet-bags are at a discount.”
Cot- Rains’ Lecture. —There was a
very select and appreciative audience at
Masonic Hall Thursday night to listen to
the Lecture of Col. Rains. The occasion was
the benefit of the Young Men's Library
Association, and the subject chosen by the
distinguished lecturer one full o* interest
and instruction. It was “The tendency of
the age, and the sources and. relations 1
of the great forces employed, with a glance
at the recent discoveries in the constitu
tions of the Heavenly Bodies.” It would
be futile for us to attempt to give an in
telligible abstract of the lecture, as ; t em
braced points and facts which, to lie under
stood and appreciated, require the elabora
tion aud explanation of the distinguished
lecturer himself, {suffice it to say, there
fore, that he handled his subject in a mas
terly manner, and yet with an ease and
grace which showed his entire familiarity
with it ; while his experiments were of an
intensely interesting character. These
embraced the compound globe light, a
combination of oxygen and hydrogen
gases, producing heat with but little light;
the Drumtaond or Calcium light, producing
light with but little heat; the Magnesium
light, and a combination of heat and
light : the power of the maguet and its
latent force—latent when the two poles are
brought together ; and the existence op
unseen iuees, as shown by a glass receiver
with the air admitted, producing fine
crystals. These and other experiments
added much to the interest of the lecture,
aud enabled his auditors, to better under
stand his explanations.
It is to be hoped that lectures of this
character will be repeated, and receive, as
they merit, a liberal patronage on the part
of the public.
Hell or China.—The Louisville Jour
nal says: “The Radical party is now
digging its own grave ; and it must be
owned that the job could not have been
given to a more persevering digger. It
has got quite deep enough, but it keeps on
furiously digging. From the way it digs,
one would infer that its motto is that of
the desperate.oil-borer in the mountains

The Florida Mepagerle-Its Rise, Pro
gress and Dissolution.
The beauties as weil as the justice and
constitutionality of the Reconstruction
programme of the Washington Jacobins
have been so well illustrated by the action of
the Florida Menagerie, assembled under the
provisions of the Military Bills, that we
propose to give our readers a somewhat
extended history of that body up to the
present time.
The State of Florida is divided into thir
ty-nine political divisions or districts called
counties. In tvreDty-one of these there
was a majority of white-, registered, and
in two others the biack majority was two
and nine respectively. The whole number
registered was 26,692—being whites
11,151, and blacks 15,541. The registra
tion of whites shows a fading off of the
white vote in 1860 of 3,096 —this being the
extent of the disfranchisement of the
whites in that small State.
The number of delegates to the Con
vention is forty, six. Os this number only
forty-four—eighteen blacks and twen
ty-six whites—have been present. Os
the whites, sixteen are non-residents, be
ing ex-Federal officers, members of the
anti-slavery society and emissaries of the
Loyal League. Two of the negro dele
gates are also non-residents. This leaves
ten white members citizens of the State,
and sixteen blacks. In a full house there
would be only ten out of forty-six mem
bers, citizens of the .State—tbe balance be
ing ex-Federal officer.*, Radical emissaries
and negroes.
The leading members of this motley
crew arc Billings, a citizen of New Hamp
shire ; Richards, a citizen of Illinois ; and
Saunders, a negro barber from Baltimore,
who was hired and sunt out to canvass
the State by the Loyal League at Wash
ington last fail, pending the election for
delegates to the Convention. This trio of
worthies, reinforced by one Pierce, negro
preacher, met in Tallahassee several days
before the assembling of the Convention,
and, by threats, bribery and other illegal
means, induced quite a number of the
negroes elect to meet them, when they
held daily informal sessions and agreed
upon an organization, officers, &c.
In this conclave it was agreed that
Billings should be the candidate for Gov
ernor and that Saunders and Richards
should lie elected United States Senators.
To secure the full control of the Conven
tion it was determined to make Richards
President .of the Convention, who would
so fix the different Committees as to pre
vent any possibility of an ejection of any
of the illegal members.
In pursuance of this arrangement,
when the Convention met several
of the more moderate whites being
absent, Richards was elected Pres
ident, who, at onee, placed Billings,
Saunders and Pierce, whose election pre
sented the most glaring evidence of il
legality, on the Committee on Privileges
and Elections (credentials), and on every
important. Comuiitteeappointed a majority
of negroes.
The Committee on Elections made haste
to report that the order of General Pope
announcing who were elected delegates took
the whole matter out of the hands of the
Convention, and that every member men
tioned in the order, and none others, were
entitled to seats. This report was made
to meet a case which was presented from
Wakulla county, where, by Pope’s order, a
man who had been dead for years was an
nounced as elected, and the vacancy was
claimed by a delegate who was known to
be opposed to Billings, Richards & Cos.
They also adopted a rule that no decis
ion of the President should be overruled
except by a majority of two-thirds. The
President soon made several rulings which
showed that he was neither governed by
the rules of common sense or of Parliament
ary law, but that his conduct and decisions
were prompted by a determination to make
the scheme concocted by himself and co
conspirators a complete success. A ma
joiity of the Convention were opposed to
the headlong revolutionary strides of the
minority, but uuder the rulings of the
President t hey found themselves utterly
powerless to stay their progress.
Among the many unjustifiable and ille
gal rulings of the President, he decided
that when majority reports of the commit
tees were made, the minority could not
report, and refused to let them be read.
A resolution was offered to protect mem
bers from intimidation and bribery, and
declaring the offence punishable by ex
pulsion if proved. He refused to allow it
to bo read, ruling that it was out of order.
A resolution was offered declaring that no
member of the Convention should be eligi
ble to office under the Constitution at the
first election. This was overruled also,
and the Convention prohibited from
taking action upon it.
"The majority asked that the rules
might be amended so that they could ex
ercise their legitimate authority. This was
refused by the mandate of the President.
“One of the majority became disgusted
at tbe prospect, and retired at the com
mencement, and when the Scrgeant-at-
Arms was ordered to bring him beck, the
President ruled that the Convention had
no power to compel the attendance of
of the absent members.
"Noquestion of constitutional law was
discussed, as there was not a member of
the Convention who was opposed to equal
civil aud political rights, without regard
to race or color.
“A horde of useless supernumeraries
were appointed and brought in upon the
tloor, to be used to overawe aud threaten
the majority into subjection, and nightly
meetings were held under the dircc.ion of
the conspirators, to exasperate the feel
ings of the ignorant blacks against, those
who were seeking to secure them the
benefit of equal laws.
“At last the majority, or a portion of it,
wearied aud desiring peace and harmony,
and a speedy consummation of their work,
offered to concede the question of eligi
bility, aud the right claimed to render
the Convention a nominating Convention
for the offices under the Constitution,
asking only the concession that the rules
be so amended and administered as to
allow the majority to control. ‘I hi» was
sneeringly rejected.
“In the meantime one member had gone
home in disgust, another had been culled
homo by a telegram that his wife was dy
ing, aud a third had been denied his seat
unless he would pledge himself to the con
spirators. Two others had been intimi
dated by threats, and at least four had
beeti bribed by promises. The majority
present was reduced to twenty-one, and
the conspirators had increased their num
ber to twenty-two, and avowed the purpose
to put through their schemes of extrava
gance, fraud, and personal aggrandizement
witli railroad speed. The majority had to
swait the return of its absentees, or be
come a party to the ruinous schemes of the
conspirators, it had no alternative but tc
leave the Convention without a quorum,
which it did.
“I he majority proceeded in secret ses
sion, xrithout a quorum, and has per
fected its plans, made its nominations,
and is cow organizing a scheme of violence
to prevent the session of s majority. At
the public meeting in the park on Satur
day, one of the members, in his speech
threatened to ‘ride on a rail, kill ar.d burn'
the colored absentees, if they should again
attempt to assemble.
“The majority as now standing consist*
of twenty-one whites and three colored. Os
the whites nineare ex-officers of the l nion
army, one a Vice-President of the Anti-
Slavery Society and life-long Abolitionist,
and eleven are ‘Southern loyalists-' Ot
the minority, fifteen are colored and f five
white—two whites and two colored are
non-residents, and one white would be ex
cluded under Pope's order excluding In
spectors of Election.
“The Seceders. so-ealied, met last Monday
night, at 11 P. 31. Twenty-two of their
number were present answering to their
names, and tico of the Hump —making 24
in all, which is a clear majority of the
whole concern—and have gone to work in
regular style. The first thing done was
the presentation of a protest by Major
Purman, signed by twenty-four members
; (a majority of the whole number elect),
i reciting the illegal conduct of Richards
1 and his so-called Convention, and averring
their ‘fixed ar.d unalterable purpose to no
longer regard him as an officer of the Con
vention,'and concludes with a resolution
declaring the Chair vacant. Therefore,
says the Floridian, on motion of Col.
0.-born, Horatio Jenkins, of the 11th
District, was appointed President, in place
of the deposed functionary. The Conven
tion proceeded further to discharge the
horde of supernumerary officers appointed
} by liiehards, retaining only the Secretary,
Major Conant, and the Chaplain. It also
discharged all the standing committees,
and directed others to be appointed by the
new President. In short, it has ripped up
things generally, and the indications point
! to the expulsion of at b ast three, if not j
more, of those declared neligible.”
The Billings' Convention have concluded j
the work of framing a Constitution, which
was duly signed by twenty-one members.
A resolution was passed, sending a special
messenger to General Meade, with a
draught of the Constitution, and to make
before that officer a foil statement of the
facts. After which it was adjourned until
Monday (to-morrow), the 17th instant.
What will be the final result of this
muddle, we are not prepared to say. Gen. j
Meade and staff passed through this city j
yesterday, going South, and it is thought |
that the "Florida troubles” have com j
pelied his attendance at Tallahassee to
prevent tbe reconstruction machine from
going to pieces. The best thing he could
do for the country wouid be to break up
both of the dons of thieves, and drive their
members back to their homes, and order a
new election, after having revoked Pope’s
order gerrymandering the State. If he
will do this, the people of Florida and of
the whole country North, South, East and
West—will owe him a debt of lasting grati- }
tude.
For the above facts and figures, we are
; mainly indebted to that able and consistent
I conservative Journal, the Tallahassee
Floridian, whose editor has been doing
; glorious service for the country, the South
I and Constitutional liberty, in exposing
i the infamy of the so-called Florida Consti
tutional Convention.
Meeting of the Central Executive Com
mittee ol the Conservative Party.
We find in our Macon exchanges the
following resolutions adopted by the Cen
tra! Executive State Committee at a late
meeting in that city. Waotof space pre
vents us from giving the preamble, which
is quite lengthy :
“ Resolved , That this Committee as
sume the name of, and be henceforth
known as, I The Central Executive Com
mittee. of the National Democratic Party
of Georgia,' and we recommend to trie
various Clubs at present organized as Con
servative Ciub3,and to ail the good people of
Georgia, to form upon this, the only practi
cal eonstitutional line, and gather under
this, the only banner left from the wreck
of the civil war, on which are still em
blazoned the fundamental truths taught
by our fathers of every party throughout
the entire country—‘The Constitution, the
only bond of fraternal union—equal rights
to every State, the ouly true construction
of that bond. ’
" Resolved , That it would be prema
ture, in view of the purposes of our late
Convention in the appointment of this
Committee, to express any opinion or give
any advice at the present time as to the
proper action of the people of Georgia up
on tbe proceedings of the Convention at
Atlanta.
" Resolved , That the Committee urge
upon our triends in the several counties
to perfect their organizations at the earli
est day possible, aud report to tho Score- }
tary of this Committee.
“ Resolved , That the fearless stand }
taken and maintained by President
Andrew Johnson, tor the rights of the
whole people and the Constitution of our
common country, deserves and receives }
from all honest and patriotic men wherever
found, their unstinted respect and ad- :
miration ; and that, as men loyal to the
Constitution, wc desire to give public ex
pression to our commendation oi‘ his
course.”
Virginia Sugar —Mr. A. Stevens, the
veteran grocery man, called our attention
Thursday to a very superior article of sugar
which ho has for sale at his place ot busi
ness. This sugar was manufactured by
Chas. Y. Morris & Cos., at the Virginia
Steam Sugar Refinery, Richmond, Va.
Mr. Stevens has, also, a large supply of
venison hams, besides everything else that
is good in the grocery and liquor line.
Mr. S. will sell all his goods cheap for
cash.'
Another of Forney’s Lies.—Dead
Duck Forney, in a letter to the Philadel
phia Press, from Washington, says:
"Even the Associated Press Agent at
Atlanta, Georgia, telegraphs in to-day’s
papers that ‘a system of proscriptive ter
rorism greatly reduced the votes of the
whites; and the Montgomery (Alabama)
Mail promised on Tuesday a black list of
the names aud places of business of the
white men who voted for the Constitu
tion.’ ”
This is another of Forney’s lies intended
to operate upon the Northern rniud against
the Southern people. The Associated
Press Agent at Atlanta never sent any
sueh dispatch as the one above quoted.
Therefore, Mr. Forney, you stand convict
ed of a deliberate falsehood.
Cotton. —The cotton news from Liver
pool and New York, published this morn
ing, is very favorable. The sales at Liver
pool Saturday were 18,000 bales, Upland
closing at Bj(a*Sjid.
The sales at New York were over 10,000
bales, Middling closing at 21(a)21Y Tho
home market dosed strong at J9c. for
Middling.
Rambles about the City.—We took
; a ride Saturday, with Dan’l Galvan, Esq.,
: for a guide, to take a look at the Ammo
nia Phosphate Works, near thiscity. These
works are the property of the Augusta
Fertilizer 31anufacturing Company, and
are on an extensive scale. They are under
the supervision of Maj. A. II- YlcLaws,
who was the prime mover in organizing
the enterprise, and he is assisted by Mr.
Galvan, who is also well known to our city
readers. The manufactory is located on
the suburbs of the city, at the site of the
i Confederate Nitre \Vorks, and the vats or
Nitre kilns of these works form a portion
!of the basis of the present works. They
i contain eonsiderabie phosphate in them
selves, ami are added to the composts
j manufactured by the present Company.
The carcases and foeeal matter from the
city are hauied to the Manufactory and
placed in vats, where, by a chemical pro
cess, they are absorbed and iiquiti.d.
The liquid is then forced by pumping into
a large dust heap, composed of rich earth
1 which is thus thoroughly saturated aDd
washed. The next process is then to run
the Compost through a sieve, from which
: it comes out a fine powder, and is then
placed in bags and barrels ready for ship
ment. Other improvements, among them
a bone crusher, will soon be added to these
works.
This is a purely Southern enterprise, a
branch of home industry, worthy of the
most liberal patronageand encouragement.
The fertilizer there produced is among the
best manufactured, and the planter may
rest assured when he purchases it that he
is getting a pure and unadulterated article.
It has been thoroughly analyzed by Col
Rains, aud whatever ingredients are de
ficient are at once added to n, aud its virtues
and utility thus greatly increased.
We regret that our time and space do
not admit of a more extended description
of these works ; but those of our citizens
who feel an interest in the work, will be
well repaid by a visit to the manufactory,
where they wili find 3laj. McLaws or Mr.
Galvan, courteous gentlemen, ready and
willing to show them what is being done in
the way of producing a fertilizer that wiil
improve the soil, and thereby promote the
interest of the South.
The Perjury Cases —Judge Erskine
has remitted the Hopkins' and Blodgett
perjury cases to the Circuit Court of the
United States. It is said that they wiil
be tried at tbe next April term.
Death of Conductor Verdery.—We
: regret to announce that the injuries re
ceived by Mr. John P. Verdery three
weeks since terminated fatally yesterday
morning. After the amputation ot his
. feet, he seemed for a time to be getting
along favorably, but subsequently the
wounds sloughed, and gangrene and* mor
tification set in. Oa Suuday night he was
seized with lockjaw, and gradually sunk
till relieved by death about 4 o’clock on
i Friday morning.

0111 WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Special Correspondence Chronicle & Sentinel.
Washington City, !). C.,)
February 11, 1868. }
Dear Chronicle <1- Sentinels —Stupidity,
when found the'inherent attribute of a
negro cart-driver or a hodd-carrier, is ex
cusable, but when found to be one of the
attributes of the General in-Chief of the
American armies and the aspirant of Presi
dential honors, it is not only inexcusable,
but humiliatingly mortifying to the sensi
bilities of every well-thinking man claim
ing to be a citizen of the States of this
Union.
The developments of the recent Grant-
Johnson embrogiio has covered the former
with shame and confusion. Tiie Intelli
gencer, of this city, has well said that, “he
stands to-day charged (and the charges
proven out of the mouths of half a dozen
witnesses), wiih what stains his reputation
as an officer aud a gentleman.” And yet
he has so fastened himself upon the skirts
of the Radical party by the recent mani
festation of his peculiar fitness as a leader
and standard-bearer, that they cannot, if
they would, shake him off. They would,
doubtless, be glad to do so, but this neither
Grant nor his friends will now permit, and
to cover up the duplicity or perfidy of his
course and conduct toward the President,
they are now crying, “stop thief,” by de
nouncing the developments made by the
President at the instance of the House of
Representatives, “as an infamous outrage
on our soldiers.” In a’luding to this fact,
says the editor of “aiy two papers, both
dailies,” that :
“When we recollect that without the
soldier thus assailed, the rebellion would
have triumphed, and the Government of
the United States would have been destroy
ed and suspended by that of slave con
spirators, we have the reason for this
savage malevolence.”
“Savage malevolence” indeed! to con
vict a man out of his own mouth of du
plicity and double-dealing, and more the
shame when a man and an acknowledged
soldier in high place is guilty of so undig
nified—not to say base —treachery to his
superior. But in all this, President John
son stands to day the champion of truth,
and his garments are unstained by his con
tact with the Major General and his pimp,
E. M. Stanton, the so-called Secretary of
War.
This undignified controversy which has
sprung up between General Grant and the
President, and which now occupies so
much public attention, bares all the ear
works of the would-be Secretary of War,
and Grant’sstupidity hasso far blinded hitu
! to the base uses to which Stanton has been
manipulating him, that his shame and
| humiliation is now visible in every lineage
lof his countenance. But treachery, how
-1 ever criminal, is a pre requisite— a sine
\ qua non— to the favor and confidence of
| the Radical party. This fact, I have no
doubt, was impressively forced upon the
j General’s convictions, and be has acted
j accordingly.
The impeachment Investigation Com
j miftee of the House have taken this
: matter under their special supervision,
and the President is to be impeached be
cause he refused to recognize Mr. Stanton
as Secretary of War. 'This is but another
cry of ‘‘catch thief.” But the oountry has
become familiar with this familiar cry of
j “wolf,” untii they have no longer any
fears for the safety of the sheepfold. We
: shall, therefore, ‘see what we shall see.”
\ The ease of Judge Field, of the Supreme
j Court, stiil occupies public attention, as
well as that of the House Committee, ap
-1 pointed to inquire into the ‘‘ treasonable”
expressions of this public functionary. He,
it seems, had the presumption to question,
, in the presence of a few of his private
friends, the Constitutionality of the Recon
itructicn Acts, and Ids impression of wiiat
were the opinions of his associates, for
reasons, the propriety of which will be
generally recognised. But there is one
view of this question, however, which
should not escape our observation. It is
this: The majority of the Bower House
claim that the Reconstruction Acts are
1 not matters of which the Supreme Court
> can take cognizance—that they are purely
political, and, therefore, entirely out of its
j jurisdiction. Admitting, for the sate of
the argument, this view of the case—the
opinion of one, or all of the Judges, from the
j Chief Justice down, can have no more
weight than the opinions of other
j men. But, unfortunately for these
j great lights of the country, there
is a singularly and fatal inconsist
• ency in __ the position that the said
[Judge Field has been guilty of, an of
j fence in speaking of a matter that, in the
very next breath, it is emphatically denied
that he has any jurisdiction of at all in his
judicial capacity. “O, consistency, thou
I art a jewel!”
j Apart from the progress of political
1 events, the denizens of the Capital are
now having a grand time of it—in their
carnivals of the skate, a pass-time which
those residing in the far “Sunny South’’
do not enjoy. This is a modern idea,
and one which has grown into favor with
old and young, male and female, here
and elsewhere throughout the North.
Last Saturday afternoon and evening
witnessed the grandest display yet made
by the statists of the Nation's Capital at
their well-arranged “Skating Park.” The
fun commenced at two o'clock‘in the after
noon and continued until midnight—of
eourse the Christian people of Washiag
-1 ton would not encroach upon the wee-short
I hours of the Sabbath day, but honorably
retired as the clock struck the hour of
i twelve, Metropolitan.

In Now York as will be noted from tho
summary above given] our market has
been irregular during the week, but closes
higher than the figures of our lasi Circular.
Prices have been influenced to a large ex
tent by our home trade and speculative
operators, for current rates are above the
parity of Liverpool, aijid shippers have
been unwilling to go on freely with cotton
cheaper in Europe than here. The rise in
gold and decline in freights have been in
favor of the market, buif the lists in weak
speculative hands have worked against it.
The demand has been ofjt varied character,
low grades soiling rather closer to quota
tions than of late, as shippers note the
steadily decreasing stocty of Surats iu Liv
erpool, aud feel assured that the consump
tion must soon fall black on the lower
grades of American,! which will rise cor
respondingly in price. ' Good cottons are
getting scarcer every week, and there is a
fair home demand for grades above Mid
dlings. Our spinners (continue to buy
freely, feeling encouraged by the state of
the goods market, and pearly ail sr-em to
I.ave stocks a little in hdvanee of imme
diate necessities. Gold has fluctuated
from 1404 to 142! on the financial aud po
litical action of Congress. Sterling Ex
change has been ratheij firmer aud cotton
bills are in good favor with bankers.
Gknkrai, Rkm abks- -The trade is re
garding tbe question (f next crop with
1 early as much interest as tho weekly re
ceipts at tho ports. On !.his latter question
we still incline 10 the opinion expressed
in January, that the size ot the crop which
will ho counted will depend entirely on
prices from this timeout. Ytith quota
tions above Bd. in Liverpool, we think 2,-
350,000 will come to the ports. Concerning
next crop opinions and Her widely even
among those who are well inform and ou the
subject. Some pretend to believe that as
much cotton will be picked in iB6O qg4ll
1867, and others that ih( re will put Unmade
one million bales. At the best, the ques
tion is problpmnlioai, but both sides of
the qißaUeu should lie weighed with as
little prejudice as possible, and an ap
proximate estimate trade by those who
miend planting this season. Some lew
facts are manifest: there is a fine supply
of coin in the cotton Slates; there are a
vast number of laborer* who must he em-

of no higher prices lhai now.current. On
toe other hand there are stubborn facts
equally Strong against raising a orop. ihe
booth’is almost without capital, imple
ments are worn, credit at the loweslwhb,
and in many portions meat is already
scarce, Labor is more u isettled than at any
rime since the suriendßr, and the people
despondent over the political and pecu
uiarv position of their section. The result
ant of these coutradn lory lo;;«s is cer
tainly diiiicult to victor mine, hut judging
from*similar circumstances in coru-gi ow
ing ou up tries it would he unwise to say
there v.ni he no crop this year; the fair
inference seems to be that there will be
some reduction in the iatil crop, depend
ing more or less on llie season; that few
large plantation*requiring extensive cap
ital to cultivate win ,e attempted, but
that a vast iucrease may be sut.oipated in
Binali farms, raising from one to twenty
bales. With a fair season the crop of 1668
should be raiaed veiy cheaply, for the
farmers not having capital to expend, nor
credit to borrow, will be obliged to live
within themselves, and under these cir
cumstances the price of the product of
their industry wiii return theta a hand
some recompense for their labor.
The receipts of the crap thus far are per
plexing to statisticians and figures cau be
made to prove anytnihg. The Atlantic
btates keep pouring ot t cotton at a rate to
justify very high eat. mates, whiie the
Mississippi country and Texas are far be

cents, caused but * small increase in the
receiots at the Atlantic ports. The very
v;et feather which ha* prevailed has no
doubt checked arrivali at interior depots,
out a larger movemenjt of the stocks at
these points was expected. The low stage
of water in the south W estern rivers is no
doubt partly the cause of these light re
cyipty, bat it is genet-ally conceded that
