Not.with tanding his riches, his garments wert iliy rags and tatters, and hig turban I oarse cloth whose color could no longer, i determiied. But among all his ar' icles of apparel, his slippers attracted' t most attention. Their soles were stened with great nails, and the upper at.hr was composed of so may patches d pieces. that during the ton years ey had beet, in wear, the different blers in BaLdad had exhausted all air skill to hlid them together. By i is means they had become so heavy it when a person would describe any 'ng very clumsy, he compared it to i slippers of Kasem. As this merchant walked once in the teat market, of the city, there was ~posed to iim a great bargain of stal e0s. He purchased th m at reat discount. A few days after, lie irued that a perfumer,'having a quan. of rose water, had met with a tune, and mt:st sell it. He took ad ilge of the poor man's distress, Ight. his rose water for half its worlh, was much rejoiced at his second - d fortune. It is a custom of the E'astern iner nts to give a feast after having con ded a successful bargain. But. this rmiser would notdo.

S pposing they do eAnly two.thirds tho 1nount of work, we 1inake a redtiction of one-third ; this gives the result 2, 3,G42 bales, sup. posing the number < laborers the same as before the war. 'o far, Mr. Editor, our figures agree. Tour next reduction is only one-third for abor now employed and in 1860, in whi4h~ vou are in error. By reference to the tatistics of the Cot ton Growing As :i tion, published in your paper of .8 te, you will find the number of haid to be less than one half. It is true the repots as yet received by the Cotton Gro ing Association are few im number, but I am inclined to the opinion that the Association will in a short time be able to furnish such fill reliable information as will establish the fact beyond doubt that there is not the present year more tian one-half the nuuber of negroes employed itn the cot ton fields as were enipbyed in 1860. 1 then deduct one-half.fr)m the last figures, the result of which is 1,111,821 bales as tihe estimate of the coming crop. As you state. "It suppows the season to be favorabie for colLol for it took a fa vorable season to proAtice an average :rop ol 4,000o00 bowe the war." When we take into consideration the unfavorable season, the overflow, bad stands in conIsequnoice of planting old seed, late planting and other cautes, I make a further reduction of one-third, the result of which is 741,214 bales as a fair estimate of the cotton crop of 1866. Below is another calculation based on the number of acres in cultivation in 1860, which you can publish if you think proper. .Acres in cultivation in 1860, 8,000,. 000, producing 4,000,000 bales; acres in cu4livationi in 1866, 2.660,666 pro ducing 1,333,333 bales ; deduct for caz unalties one-third, 444,444 bales, making the estimated crop for '66 888,889. A PLANTER. TIaRT-RECNDING CALAMITY.-A let. ter from Bamberg, in this State, dated Sth instant, to the Charleston News, says : This e vening, between 3 and 4 o'clock, a terrific cloud arose in tie Vest, ac coinpanied by a fearful tornado, which swept throngh our village, demolishing eetything in its track, trees, fences, &c., and striking the building of the Allen Lodge, at that time used as a school. room by Mr. Robert Seabrook and his sistcr, completely destroying it, burying vnder its ruins seven of the unfortunate childre'n who belonged to the school. It seems thlat the children were hay. mug a little party among themselves, and were jusa in the act of preparing some refresh ments, when the tornado struck the building, demol-ishing it al. most inst.antutneously, crushing to death *hose who were unable to get out.

EW YoRK, June 8.-Tno Penian meeting at Cooper Institute denonnced Presiident Johnson for his precl inatio", sid declare they will never support him. The Fenians in Buffalo are wild with excitement for the release of Colonel O'Neil, who with Cols. Hay and Starr gave each $6,000 bail to answer. O'Neil made a speech to the crowd sayi:g, that lie desired hereafter to speak from the canion's mouth. A St. Albans dispatch says that the arrest of Sweeney has dispirited the Fenians who marched into Canada un der Gen. Spear, who was intoxicated, with a small body of men poorly armed and provisioned. Some men who got liquor, seemed in good spirits. No Ca nadians within 20 miles. NEw YoRK, June 7.-President Ro. borts of the Fenians was arrested to-day, declined tlhe request of the officer to go o Marshall Murray's office and was brought before Commissioner Betts. Roberts obstinately refused to accept btil tendered him and declined to give any personal parole to appear or a pa. role that he would not violate the neu trality laws. He was remanded to the custody of the Marshall with quartdrs at the Astor House. Col. Carrigan in ex-member of Congres-, was also arrested, but subse. quently disappeared. Our specials report large numbers of Fenians still hovering near the border, but no further fighting or invasion has taken place, but the Canadians are still engaged in reinforcing threatened points and U. S. neutrals in chasing imaginary columns of the Irish invading army, but the apprehension of Sweeny au4 Roberts ends the invasion of Canada. At Toronto ani exciting scene and al. most a collision occurred by the- acciden tal ineeting of some Fenian prisoners tinder guard and with a fumeral cortege, just returning from the burial of several volunteers killed in the lato skirmish near Fort Erie.
