Rut the Fstey Organ has a considerable reputation, and w ill no doubt be offered cheap by Mr. Horn. — Cotton is changing the face of things wonderfully. Relations between merchant and planter are rapidly being transformed. The patronizing air which distinguished the former in his summer transactions with his customers, has given place to a bearing very expressive of solicitude. The planter smiles the most subxtantial smile he has allowed liinjxelf to indulge in the whole year, as lie pm-kets liis tittle roll of greenbacks at the cotton desk of the merchant, and the bitter sini 1''x so irresi-tinly back that almost inev itably some of the little roll goes back where it came from.
