COLUMBIA. Wednesday Horning, Nov. IV Cotton and It? M i nu rut-tn rc. j . We moke the following extraots Irom a lengthy and very interesting article in the New York Times, on cotton: "The first record we have of the cultivation of cotton in this country, dates baok to 1731, when Peter Pur-, ry, in his . description of Carolina, speaks of 'cotton thriving admirably, but as few peoplo know how to order it, there is very little cultivated. ' The cultivation of tho plant in gardens was frequoutly to be met with as early as 1736. An exportation of seven bags was made from Charleston in 1747 and 1719. Among the exports of Carolina in 1753, and of Charles? ton in 1757. ? quantity of cotton ia mentioned. We are informed, in an old London publication of 1762, that 'what cotton and silk both the Caro? linas , send us is excellent, and calls aloud for its encouragement of its cultivation in a place well adapted to raise both. ' In 1734, a pap - r of the seed was sent from Chelsea, England, to the founders of Georgia, aud in 1742, a French planter erected on his plantation, in Louisiana, a gin for separating the fibre from the seed. Among the documents in the archives of the colonial department of Paris, thoro is said to bo 'a most curious re? port cn cotton, in 1760;' of the great advantages Louisiana might dorivo from its culture. We are also further told that early in the Revolution Ker? sey Borden, to whom Carolina is in? debted for the silky cotton of her sen islands, constructed a 'roller-gin,' which enabled bim 'to clotho his ne? groes in garments of domestio fabric.' Not until 1770 were the first ship? ments of cotton made. In that year, there were shipped to Liverpool three bales from New York, four from Vir? ginia and Maryland, and three bar? rels full from North Carolina. In 1784, an American ship which im? ported eight bags of cotton into Li? verpool, was seized on the ground that 30 much cotton could not be the produce of the United States; and when an old planter obtained fifteen small bales from five acres, he ex? claimed, 'Well,. well, I have done with cotton ; here* is enough to make stockings for all the people of Ame? rica.' The first reguiar exportation of cotton from Charleston commenced iu 1785, when ono bag arrived in Li? verpool, January 20, 'per Diann,' to John and Isaac Teasdalo & Co. In the same year, twelve additional bags from Philadelphia and ono from Now York wore received at that port. Dur? ing the next five years, the receipts of American cotton were respectively 6, 109, 389, 842, and 81 bog's, esti? mated at 151 ponnds each, or 1,441 bags, weighing 216,150 pounds, in six years, from 1785 to 1790, inolusive. In 1791, the export was 189,316 pounds; in 1800, it had reached 17,789,803 pounds. The first suc? cessful crop of sea island cotton is said to have been grown by William Elliott, near Beaufort, in 1790. The culture of cotton was so far success? ful in 1786, that in that year, at the Anapolis Convention, Mr. Madison ventured to remark that 'there was no reason to doubt that the United States would one day become a great cotton producing country. "To encourage an article which promised soou to become a revenue, Congress was induced, in 1789, to im? pose a duty on foreign cotton. The invention of devices for cleaning cot? ton gave un immense impulse to its cultivation, and in about the year 1800, tho culture became general, and some very large estates were ac? cumulated in South Carolina. That State exported, in 1795, cotton to thc value of ?1,109,653, and in 1801, nbont 8,000,000 of pouuds weight. Tho recent accounts from Spaii would seem to indicato that the revo? lution in that country is not to be cheated out of the usual feast of blood und rapiuo. The lazzaroni of Madrid, who collect in mobs 100,000 strong, aro assuming daily a moro threatening aspect, and have devel? oped nil the inhuman passions which characterized the Parisian blood? hounds of '89. Gen. Prim, who has more than once oeen called upon to ballin their rago and protect the vic? tims of their fury, baa already in? curred suspicion, and cries of muertu a Prim have moro than once echoed beneath his palace windows. The li? bation of blood which popular liber? ty seoms always to demand ns her baptism, it is thought, will not be long evaded; tho present storm may be quelled, but the elements of n new tempest is there which lowors dark and threateningly in the not distant future. A life of more pleasure! A little while in tho spring-time of the senses, in tho sunshine of prosperity, in tho jubilee of health, it may seem well enough. But how insufficient, how mean, how terrible when agc comos, and sorrow and death! A lifo of pleasure! What does it look like when these great changes beat against it-when tho realities of eternity stream in? It looks like tho frag? ments of a feast, when the sun shines upon thc withered garlunds and tho tinsel, and the overturned tables and dead lees of wine. i rum i wi BIIOODX* TRAGEDY,-A terrible and horrid tragedy waa enacted on our publie square last night. About 10 o'clock a largo bod; of disguised mounted, men entered the square frqm Washington sfcroet, and slowly, orderly, without a word, rodo around the square, and passed off the same way they carno. At the time, there was a radical meeting being held in the Court HOUHO, composed almost entirely of negroes, who, whon the procession appeared, rushed down from the Court-room and set up the wildest yells, cursing and crying, "Charge on tho Ku Klux! Shoot tho damned rebels!" ^After the ca? valcade had left the square fully 200 yards, a body of at least twenty ne? groes rushed through the North gate, armed with shot-guns, pistols and elubs. Among them were a number of white men, who had been in at? tendance at tho meeting. On the side-walk, ulong by the Moore build? ing, were a large number of persons, white and black, drawn there to wit? ness the procession. Just as the ne? groes rushed through the gate, soino one of them fired upon the crowd on the side-walk, and ia a moment as many as thirty shots were fired from both parties, when the firing sodden? ly ceased, the negroes running off in many directions. The sequel of this dastardly and fanatical outrage was the killing of one negro outright, mortally wounding another, and the slight wounding of a third; the mor? tal wonndingof one white man, seri? ously wounding a second, and slight? ly wounding two others. Judge Thurlow, present Judge of Probate Court of Limestone County, was shot through tho bowels, and is al? most certain to die. The negroes came to the meeting with guns, for we saw ono in a negro's possession; and it is attested by twenty witnesses, some of them Fede? ral soldiers, that the firing was com? menced by negroes. The Ku Klux did not molest tho negroes in any way whatever, and were off tho square fully 200 yards beforo tho firing ceased. Negroes were heard to say afterwards that the matter was not settled yet. Let every white man be ready to defend himself to the death. [Huntsville (Ala.) Independent, Nov. 1. Fuss AND FURY AFTER THE ELEC? TIONS.-The radical organ in this city and Greeley's narrow-minded block? heads of the Loyal League are rais? ing a groat deal of fuss and fury over the result of the election in this State, and are making themselves generally ridiculous by talking about contesting the election of State offi? cers who have been chosen by twen? ty-five or thirty thousand majority. Greeley, who always takes thc lead in such follies, declares that every State whose electoral vote is cast for Seymour and Blair has boon carried by fraud or terrorism, and attributes a radical minority, wherever found, to repeaters or tho Ku Klux Klan. This is all balderdash. Politicians ou both sides, Republicans and Demo? crats, generally get in as many bogus votes as possible for their candidates, and we have no idea that they were any more scrupulous in the election just over than in any other that has been held for the past quarter of a century. Grant has been chosen by a handsome majority; the people are well satisfied, and it is a paltry busi? ness for the Union Leagues to be ex? pending their wrath npon Justice Shandley because he worked faith? fully for his party, or debating whether Pat Keenan or Dennis O'Raf ferty had one person or a dozen re? gistered from his residence. The radicals would bo more profit? ably^ employed studying the true les? son of tho election. Tho people elected Grant because they have con-1 fidence that he will securo to tho na? tion the peace for which he fought on the field of battle. They gave the State of New York to the opposition and deprived'the Republicans of their two-third majority in tho House of Representatives, because they disap? prove tho violent measures and ex? treme policy of radicalism. Tho sooner Union Lenuges and Republi? can Congressmen understand this fact the better.-Neto York Herald. A well-known wealthy Parisian has had himself painted, by an eminent artist, " ar, ho was," "as he is," und "as he will bo." "As he was" rep? resents him, at tho ago ?f twenty five, a poor devil in ragged garments, with his toes peeping through holes in his shoes, sinking, half-famished, by the side of a wall. "As he is," figures him fat and jolly as an alder? man, well-dressed, with gold chains decking his waistcoat, and diamond rings blazing on his fingers. And in "as he will bc," he is made a rotting, hideous corpse. Not the least single feature of such a singular freak, is the fact that he has the paintings hnng in his drawing-room. VICES OF AMERICA??.-A recent medical writer states that the vices of the American character may be briefly summed up as follows: 1st. An in? ordinate passion of riohes. 2d. Over? work of mind and body in the pur? suit of business. 3d. Uudue hurry and excitement in all the affairs of life. 4th. Intemperance in eating, drinking and smoking. Otb. A geno ral disregard of the true laws of life and health. Tun ELECTION IN CHESTEB COUNTY. The following is ?he result o? the election in the Above County: Re? publican 1,300; D?mocratie 1,100 Republican majority 200. The Be pu&liuuu majority in the hut State election' amounted to 1,000, hence there has been a Demoorntio gain of 800. ? few days since, four laborers in a brick-yard in Glaseo, Ulster Coun? ty, N. Y., while drunk, broke into a saloon and so beat Philip Onterhondt, a young negro, that he died of his in? juries in a few hours. Idol worship is firmly established in Portland, Oregon. Thore is a tem? ple there belonging to the Chinese, with graven images and all the other accompaniments of a real heathen temple. Mr. John Quiucy Adams was a can? didate for representative from Quincy as woll as for Governor of Massachu? setts, and was defeated in both in? stances. Queen Isabella had 170 carriages.

Wo are indebted to the publisher for a copy of tho above work, which is really a continuation of the author's former popular productions. Many iii old Confed. will recognize the scones so vividly depicted in this plea ?uutly-written volume. Tho follow? ing is an oxtract from tho prologue: On tho wall over the mantle-piece, hero in my quiet study at Eagle's Nest, are two crossed swords. One is a battered old sabro worn at Get? tysburg and Appomattox; the other, a Federal officer's dress sword, cap? tured in 18G3. It was a mero fancy to place them there, as it was a whim to hang upon that nail yonder, the uniform coat with its stars and braid, which Stuart wore on his famous ride around Mc? Clellan, in 18G2. Under the swords hang portraits of Lee, Jackson and Stuurt. Jackson wears his old coat, and his brow is raised as though he were looking out from beneath his yellow old cadet cap. Stuart is seat? ed, grasping his sabre, with his plumed hat resting on his knee. His huge beard flows on his breast, his eyes are clear and penetrating, and benenth the picture I have placed a slip cut from one of his letters to me, and containing the words, "Yours to count on, J. E. B. Stuart." Lastly, tho gray commander-in-chief looks with a grave smile over his shoulder, tho eyes fixed upon that excellent en? graving of tho "Good Old Rebel," a private7 of tho Army of Northern Vir? ginia, seated on a log, after the war, and reflecting with kuit brows on tho past and tho prosent. From this sketch of my surround? ings, worthy reader, you will per? ceive, that I amuse myself by recall? ing thc old times when the Grays and Blues wero opposed to each other. Thoso two swords crossed-thoso pic? tures of Leo, Jackson, Stuart and tho "Old Hebel"-you aro certain to think that tho possessor of them is unreconstructed (terrible *\vord!) and still a rebel! But is it wrong to rotneinber the past? I think of it without bitter? ness. God decreed it-God tho all wise, tho all-merciful-for his own purpose. I do not indulgo any re pinings, or reflect with rancor upon the issue of the struggle. I prefer recalling the stirring adventure, the brave voices, the gallant faces; even in that tremendous drama of 1864-5, I can And something besides blood and tears, even hero and there some Bun-shine.
