T'he lpresent, wretched weather and the low price of' cotton has cast a deep gloon over outr city aindl its trade, caus ing a general dullness and inhetivity in Comtl)ercnial circles Many of our best inimormed and experieiced citizeis had aimicipa'.ed a slight check- perhaps a slighit falling ofl itn prico, but the recent heavy aid continued decline in cotton is as unexpected as it is most clearlY with. out ijust cause or soind reason. We ex pectl1 a .glt temporatry decline when ihe glowni accotes of the crop pros pees, wich wore so industrioisly ci r. cnlated here in August, reached Liver pool and Manchester. We were well convinced at that Lime that ouri planting friends were over.est.imating the pro. dhutt of the crop, and givinlg ton mnuch prominence to lhe, at best, hut fiir pros. pects which the month of August seem. ed to indicale. Thesm accounts, highly colored as they were, have been very greatly exagerated in the interest of spinners and speculators, and, combined wit!h other causes, have produced such a decline in prices as to leave the prico to-dav uremiunerative to the planter. Indeed, we do net believe that, in'der the present system, the ruling rates of cotton to-thy 111.0 sifficietit to pay the cost of prodiietion. Tho expense in the way of taxes, freights, commissions, insurance, storage, &c., will amount to at least 14 or 15 cents per pound. This taken from the present price, say 1 7 cents for middlinigs, wvould leave butt 1 2 or 1 3 cents net per pound. In gold this woiuld be0 but about the old price before , -te war-say 10 cents per poundi~. The I present crop has b)en raised at a rate of Sexpense muich hligher than atiy ever heretofore made, truthfully remarks the SAugusta C/kronicle. Provisions have -been from 60 to 100 per cent. higher 'than formerly. Large sums htave been >expended for Gutanos and other fertili zers, while the cost of labor has been very great, amonnt:ng in sonic inistancos, to one-half the crop. Ten cents in gold rwill not more thani pay the costs of pro ductios, unless a vory large crop is realized. We have ceased Lo hope for I oven a moderately fair crop. The con tinued rains of August and September, have caused the late fruit to she-d, and S thousands of acres have been destroyed s by rust, boll..worm, rot, and the caterpil. -lar. We doubt very seriusly wheth o r the crop wvill be imtch larger, if any, -than that of 1860. In fact, so great has been the destruction of cotton from dif r forent causes during the last two weeks, that we do n'ot believe the crop will be ie aslarge as that of last year. The wea 1 thor during the past week has been very t unfavorable to .sotton pic'kmlg, while the a continued raitis and general daimpness S will materially injtre the staple. All 3 accoepts front this slectioni of Alabama, anud Indeed all over the State, are not only enfavorable, but actually disastrous to this cot~otn prospects. Where it is possible, we believe it to the initerest of ithe planter to hold his cotton. If ho sells now he cannot -got the actual. cost Sof prodnotion, whilo it is almost certain Ithat whlmu the great cotton ports are S reliably itUformned as to the presenit and prospectite coniditign of the cotton Crop, the prico will astinredhy ad vance.

Stato Bank Bills. The report of an interesting and im portant decision is taken from the Chro. nicle of 12th inst. On yesterday, his Ifonor, Judge Moses, rendered a decision tre tenus, in the cases of the Stato vs. Robert.son and the Stato-vs. 1larris, argued before him on Tuesday last. The faict.s are as fol lowq: The defendants hl respectively been fined at the Sning Tern of the' Court of Sessions the one inl the sum of $500, and the other $300, on indictments for assault and battery. On executions issued, they tendered paymnent, to tile Shorif llin bills of tle Bank of the State, i 1 by hein before the conviction, whic. dhe S!heriflreinse I to accept in satisfaction, and It <pies Lion as to the suflleinnoy of the tender was brought before the court. by way of Rule on that officer.

Admit, saidi lie, lor the sake of argument, that this is a ple'dge to redelm the bills of the instituti-m ; can these defendants claim or selek to avail themselves of such right in this I forn ?

Tihe legal acceptation of debt is a sum of ioney due by ngreemnent. It can ariso only by way of contract, expressed or implied. What contract exists hero between the Stat~o and the defendanits? Can 't be claimed as a conttract Li) vio lat~e the peace anid dignity of' thei Strate, and then mnake atonement, or cond-ma-n t;ion by paying the amnount imposed ini a currency wvorth but a fewA cents in the dollar? The requisitiotn of the Court to pay money is for a violatiotn of the law. It is ordered for puntishmenl~tt, andi the Judge who imposed thme sentence order ed and fixed 500( dollars in1 the one case and 300 dollars in the other.
