To a careful observer this must appear very evident. Christianity lias in itself the element of progress. The moral, ro'igious and educational forces which are at work strongly point to the fact that Christianity is constantly gaining ground.

They are very retire. I send this dispatch as a friendly [tint to your readers that it may be well to hink twice before selling cotton short sim>ly bcoBusc there is a big crop. Statistics ire the most unreliable of all factors in apeiulations. To us there is a rery strong fithy smell bout the abore telegraphic dispatch, which rc find published in all the weekly edi'ions f prominent daily papers in the South, and gainst which we warn our cotton farmers, to doubt it w ill be profitable for those irmers who stdl have cotton to soil, to old it until the pool puts it above 10 ents; but the trouble is, and there the jspicion of intent ion to misloal lies, there ill be precious little cotton in the bands of araaers, for Skew to be benefitted to auy ppreciablo extent by the August rise ; and re point our farmers to the scduoltvc word ng of the dispatch, aa being 'the usual rosoolorcd promises and allurements held out jst about planting time, (by syndicates of otton speculators in th</s country and .uropc, to induct the Southern planters to lsnt a largo crop of cottons.

Why don't somo of tho Alliance lecturers aud Editors, in tlie South, at least, suggest some plan by which the sale of cotton can bo regulaTe^Cby tfh? Order and a fair price commanded ? It docs seem to us that such a perfect orgaoi.za'ion as the Alliance is could form an unbroken lino in this very important matter, as well as upon the password and other united nml uniform work of the Order, by which only a certain proportion jff the cotton crep elieuld be put upon the market every month. 1 lie Cotton L- 1 .1.. t.l 1..... ,.o ; iiviixi^iiuui .no rtuiiu n??c, in at j were, a telegraphic wire running from the cotton tichls to their o dices, telling them the exact condition of tho crop in all its stages of growth, and posting them with precision upon the aggregate amount of cotton made ; and they set to work figuring cut what they will pay for it.

Mia i>or, April 27.?Our vioinity was tho scene of another liomieide loet Tuesday night in the killing of Walton Jetor by John Gist, both negroes, living on Mr. Jes. P. Gist's place. It seems that they had had three quarrols that day over a trivial mattrr, in which knives were drawn but not used. ! That night John Gist went to the lot armed with a shot gun. When the two met, Walton fired at Gist with a pistol, the ball entering the thigh, whereupdn John immediately fired at Walton discharging bath barrels af bis gun at him, which proved fatal, killing him in Ices than thirty minutes. John Gist surrendered to the proper authorities on ThurJay, and is now in jail. When will this killing among the negroes cease?

It fell gent'y and has revtved vegetation very much. Cotton and corn planted was lying in the dust and clcds and couldn't come up. Now we may look for grass in abundance. We have never seen n better prospect for wheat at this season of the ycir. It is only to be regretted thnt so little of it was sowed. In the sameloogth of time, we have never heard or seen so many accounts of mad dogs as we have within the past few days.

Mr. Edit r, we arc not surp ised that Ileynard paid your chicken coop a visit last week. His vulpine shrcwdnoss perhaps caused him to think thnt if there was a chicken in town the editor had it. (That's an awful mistake.) Last Full our lion roost was annoyed by some nocturnal visitor. Almost every night a "rumpus" took place among the chickens and next morning some of them would "come up missing." As our fricnl Sam Mabry would sny, "we snrclied do'cegently" for the cause but failed to find it. At list one of tbo littlo Voxes foil upon a plan to stop the trouble, which he did. Ho mvla a hole in the bottom of an old oyster c?n and tied a piece of iron in it for a clapper.? This improvised bell he hung in the treo nud with n string he attached it to his bod post, nnd would ring the bell when tho chickens made the alarm. The first night lie broke up the trouble and we have had none of it since. With regard to Kclton WheoVs proposition, I will say : Take any number (it matters not how many figures it lakes t> constitute it) rtvertt the order of the figures (and provided they don't form tho same number botK.. ways, a3, for ins anco, 37073) subtract less from the greater nnd the remainder will be divisible by 9; so also will the sum of its figures added horizouta'h/hs divi-ible by From this we readily see that tho figure cancelled (or stricken out) will ho that required to make an oven 0, whon 9 or 0 is stricken out. We arc unable to tc'.l which it is, but it is one or the other, sure. . My multiplying tho difference between the numbers formed by rtvtniny the order of I the figures, ns suggeatc I above, by any number wha'ever, doesn't destroy the uniformity of the proceedings Now, if from any number you subtraot the sum of the figures (added horizontally) the same proceedings may be had with the same accuracy as that above. Perhaps an example will ho'ter demonetrato this proposition:*' Let the number be.., 56783 ^ The sum of those figures is 28 Wliioh subtracted This number, as we'l as tho $?im of its figures is divisible by 0. Multiplying it by nny tehole uumbor docs not destroy its uniformity. Will Kelton Wheel tell way this is !
