The SL Louis .Democrat says:
A gentleman who has been intimate
with Sothern planters for thirty. years,
gives us information of the course which
some of these cut-ton growqrs have
determed to pursue- in relation to the
cultivation of their lands. It is simply
to let'the lands out to any one, black
or white, Who may wish to engage in
such employment, at a certain amount
of the product per acre,or per bale, if the
artices raised is cotton..
One planteNat the mouth of Red rriver
who has six thousand acres to rent in
this way, proposes to retain one-fourth
of a bale as a compensation for his land,
and for ginning the cotton .a sniall
amount additional, which will bring the
price up toabout one-third of the crop
the same proportion as that charged for
all corn inida in other sections of the
country. This method. has - proved
successful everywhere else,. hud there is
no reason 'why cotton culture in the
Southern part of the country should be
an exoeption.

Partioulars of the Gres t Fire in New
York City.
From the Herald of the 14th inst, we
glean the following additional particulars
of the great fire in New York City :.
At half past 12 o'clock on the 13th
inst., there was an alarm of firein Broad
way, which was discovered to have
originated from flames in the lower por
tion of bBarnum's Museum. There was
immediately a great rush to the fire.
About 15 minutes after the first alarm
the flames burst forth, and dense vol.
umes of smoke beain curling from the
demolished window panes. Ladders
were placed against the Musaum, and
desperate attempts made to save the
curiosities. The pet bear was saved by
the ladder, two Hibernian's carried of
the tame seal in triumph, but most of the
inanimate curiosities perished, while the
happy family, the manheys, birds, fish.
es, white whales, &c., shared a like fate.
The agonizing cries uttered by such of
these animals as could ory were pitiful
indeed. Just before the final collapse
of Barnum's Museum an awful, unearth
ly scream was heard. The crowd in
voluntarily gave back, but as soon re
turned. Some said it was the whales,
but it was most probably the bursting
of a conduit, filled with water and
steam.
During the fire at the Museum one
man seized the wax figure of Gen. Grant.
He rushed frantically upon the balcony,
when a stream of water took him anid
ships, and he dropped the Gener*l to
save himeelf. The figure was uindoubt
edly constumed. Another individual in
the meloe, seized a stuffed, figure, rush.
ed wildly to the portico ahd called for
some one to help him, when lo !he had
Isaved the'effigy 9f Jeff. Davis. 'The
crowd booted and hissed ; butt the gent
thought it a little too late to back out,
and in itb endeavot to save something
for Mr. Barnum, lowered Jeffs inanimate
from to a person on the side walk. As
lie did so the head of tie defunct Presi
dent dropped off. Subsequently it was
found hanging to- a lamp >Wst by St.
Paul's on Fulton Street.
Many engines had congregated at the
first aslarm, and heavy 'streams of water
were tit play: Tiho heat was intense,
and the Astor louse was saved only by
wet blankets and the unremitting efforts
of its emp oyees, both from burning and
robbery. K Paul's steople was once
og fire, whjich was opportunely quench.
ed. -
Finally Barnim's was cleared. All
saw the necessity of leaving, and at a
quarter past one o'clock the walls began
to topple and fall, disclosing the fiery
furnace . aging within. At half-past
twv 4 a smouldering heap, scarcely ten feet
high, was all thiat was left of the great
Anuerican Cariosity Shop.
h.e contemts of the Iuseum was al
most a otat loss. The theatrical troumpe
loit their T.ggage and barely escaped
with life. The fat voman, Anna Swan,
was discovered at the head of the stairs,
ilmost swoonlng from the effects of the
smoke. She0 was saved, but her bag

TY PknMANXT STANDING ARMY.
'Phe oomposition of the permanent milita
ry establishment of tho country seems to
be settled as follows, making a standing
army of nearly 200,000 moti :
deneral Officbrs-One Gomileral, five
Lieutenant-Generals, fifty, Major-Gene
rals and seventy-five Brigadier Generals.
The regular army proper will be com
posed of nineteen regiments of infantry,
six regiments of cavalry and five regi
ments of artdlery. all filled up to the'
maximum nutnber. 50;000 colored
troops will be .retained. Hancock's
corps will be increased to a full corps of
three divisiomis of three brigades each of
about 30,000 men. The ;eteran corps,
twenty-five regiments, will be filled up
to' the niaximum number. Under
proposed arrangement, total strength of
the army will be niearly as follows;
Regular infantry, 45,600 ; regular
cavalry, 14,400 ; regular artillery, 1,
000 ; Hancock's corps, 30;000 ; colored
troops, 50,000 ; veteran reserve corps,
25,000; total, 177,000 men.
An Imnportant Iten.-Sonie one com
municates the following patagraph to the
Constitutionalist, about "Sorgho chang
ed into Butter." It is worth trying:
"This is done by feeding it (Sorgho)
with hay, shucks or fodde'r to milk cows,
and is the most approved mixture known
tQ the world, cheap as the cheapest, and
better than the best. To one quart .of
sorgho syrup and nine quarts of water
put. on ten pounds of fodder ; will cost
now twenty-five cents. and will be a fair
feed for one day, and will produce more
milk than one peck of meal and ten
pounds of fodder. which is, worth now
thirty-five cents."
An Eastern aipber sayr that a man in
New York got himself into trouble by
Mnarrying two wives. A Western editor
replies by assuring his cotemporary that
a good many men haid lone tihe same
thing by - marroing one. - A Northern
editor retorts that quite a number of his
acquaintances found trouble enough by
merely promising to marry, mithout
going any further. A Southern editor
says that a friend of his had trouble
enough when simply found in company
with another's man. wife.
