The Cotton Situation.
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,

Stato Bank Bills.
The report of an interesting and im

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.

iel-I that undter tlie sail clause Ihe

sake of argument, that this is a ple'dge

can these defendants claim or selek to
avail themselves of such right in this I

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?

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. Can th
jlldgmenit b~e satisfied by anlythin~g which
