. ApvANCE ix COTTON.-It seems to
be generally believed that tho re?
cent startling advance in the price of
cotton will not ojdy be sustained, but
'be still.further improved. The now
universally conceded small amount of
land cultivated in cotton, the recent
disastrous casualties resulting in the
burning of nrimense quantities of the
"royal of staples." re-opening and re?
sumption of labor at most of the
foreign and domestic cotton mills
all these considerations combine to
enhance . the price, and will, doubt?
less, not ?tease to operate for, years to
come. At all events, and in any rea?
sonable view of the case, our planters
may now go to work attheir prelimi
nary arrangements for plaiting heavy
crojis for the "next year, well assured
that industry and enterprise will in?
dubitably be rewarded with large re?
turns. -nS"' i van nah Herald.
Bishop "Wilmer, of Alabama, has
replied to tho order of Gen. Wood
closing the Episcopal Churches hi
that State, refusing to recogize the
right of any civil or military officer
to dictate to him in the performance
of his duty in the Church ol' God.
But whilst ho has lieitlier the wish
nor the power to resist military force,
he enters his solemn protest against
tile interference expressed in tile
order issued by General Wood. Tito
latter responded by .stating that if ^ the
order was not obeyed, lie would cer?
tainly use military force in closing the !
churches.
