THE COTTON CROP-ITS 1? ? TURE. That most oxcollont journal, the ".financial and Commercial Chroniclo," of January 26, contains tho following article on the cotton prospecta for tho yoor, which our readers -will find worthy of perusal : ' In estimating tho bearing of tlioso probabili? ties of a reducod supply upon tho value of raw cotton, it is necessary, also, to take into account tho prospects of the supply Groat Britain is iik'lv to draw from other countries than tho United States. With reforonco to the chief sources of Kastern production, tltcro appoars to bo a general disposition to moderate the estimates entertained a fow wooks ago. Tho grounds of this chango of opinion in England aro . thus alluded to by our London correspondent, undor dato of January 5 : "With regard tb tho cotton trade, it may be' ob? served that although spinners may purchase with extremo caution, the present rango of prices must at least bo maintained, owing to tho small quanti? ties of thc staple afloat, and tho prospect, there? fore, of a small importation for somo weeks to come, ?io far aa is at prosont ascertained, tho sup? ply of East Indian Cotton afloat i3 under 100,000 biles, while at this dato in 1866 tho quantity known lo bo on passago to Europe was nearly 200,000 bales; and with regard to Amorica, it appears that only 32,000 balos arc on passage, against 60,000 bales in 1866. These figures are certainly in favor of continued firmness in tho cotton trade; hut, ns successive advices from India report steadily in? creasing shipments of cotton to Europe, spinners will evidently continuo to operate cautiously in concluding sales. At latest elate, viz., Docomber 21, the Bhipmonts of cotton from Bombay were progressing at ibo rate of about 16,000 bales per week, hoing a considerable increase as comparod wiih the previous weeks; and, as tho soasou for now cotton bad just commoncod, there seems to bo every probabilit. that with tho continuance ot favorable advices from Liverpool the exports from Bombay will be on a much niore,_extcnsivo seale, niese advi-cs, we know, haye been favorable to :bo growers of cotton in xhd.a; hence thoro eau bo Jut little doubt as to tho nature of our future ad? rices from thc East. In tho course of a month or lix weoks wo shall most prob .biy observe a largo ncrease in tho quantity of East Indian cotton ifloat. In Egypt the crop of cotton hos certainly (eon productivo of disappointment. We were lod o anticipate a crop of 600,000 balos, but subse [acnt advices have reducod tho estimate to .00,000, and finally to 300,000 balos. That thc crop 3 by no means so extensivo as was announced at hs commencement of tho season may ?3 consul red cortain; but in the present position of the otton trade? statistics relating to the probablo ?reduction of cotton in any country should bo well nth entreated b fore full reliance' is placed upon heir correctness. It may,- however, be looked pou as certain that tho crop of cotton in Egypt is uperior to last year, although there is so con tdorable falling off from tho statements made at [ie opening of tho season, with regard both to tho xtent and quality of tho crop. Our latest advices rom Aloxandriareport fair shipments of produce ?om that port since November 1, but as compared ith 1864 there is a falling off of about 7000 ales." These combined considerations require a mat o al curtailment of estimates of tho total supply om all sources entertained two or tliroo months ;o. The reduction mav bo roughly represented y 250,000 bolos for the United Slates, 250,000 for idia, 250,000 for Egypt, and 50,000 for Braz?, ma ing a total curtaumont of original estimates mounting to 800,000 balos. These aspects of the inply have produced a strong disposition among alders of cotton to stand firmly for higher prices; feeling not shaken by tho movotr-ent among am estie manufacturers for further curtailing their rod jction of goods. Surveying the general condition of the world's larkets, it would soem reasonable to expect an :tive demand for cotton goods during tho present sar. The political status of Germany is settled, with nt, at least, any prospect of immediate disturb aco, and with less commercial derangement than tight have been expected; and tho Eastern quos on which, until recently, loomed darkly in tho orizon, presents no features likely to disturb tho xger marketa for cotton manufactures. Tho me of business in Manchester is assuming a tore hopeful aspect, and spinners do not show ny reluctance tb buy cotton freely atcurro.-,t rices. Among those best acquainted with the condi on of the South and with the disposition of col? in growers, the opinion is stronglv cherished that ie next crop will bo moro limited than has bcou enerally expected. There can bo no doubt that ie profits upon the present crop are too insignifi vnt to encourage an extension of this branch of reduction. Th i unwise tax upon cotton bears ith great severity upon the growers, and has sallowed up nearly all the profits upon the crop, ho burthen of testimony goes to show that, with ie enhanced costs of labo-, and tho une. rtainty bout its employment, it is impossible, upon an verase, to raise cotton for less than 25 couts per ound; and addir a to this the tax of 3 cents and ie now heavy charges for transportation, it is lear that there is no inducement to lay out any irge breadth of land in the production of thc tapie. The Soutborn crops of cereals, during the past ear;-rfave fallen below the wants of that section, nd breadstuffa bavo consequently ruled high; it therefore, reasonable to suppo?o that this ycai tore attention will bo given to grain culture and ;ss to cotton-growing; and the more so as thost tops are less subject to suffer from the risks o ne seasons and tho irregularity connected witt be present condition of the new labor system. The conclusion indicated by a survey of all thosi ?nsideratinns appears to favor \erv decidedly th< ireva?ing firmnetjn o? ti,0 cotton market. THc War Riot Over. We do not know who wrote the following articli n tho Richmond. Dispatch, of the 29th, from whicl 'o copy it, but from certain "ear marks," wi hoold guess at Slr. Joan MITCHEL'S tronchan en: Wo begin to believe in this favorite principle o Ci-. Stevens and his party. A gallant engagemen as just takon placo ui Texas, whero "Gen. Griffin ?vito is Gen. Griffin ?) has achieved an exploi hieb, is, fer aught wo know, his first feat of armt [e baa heroically repulsed fro u a church door th jrpse of General Albert Sidney Johnston. It wa ii opportunity for Gen. Griffin; he bad never ha ic honor to meet that gallant chief in battlo whil live; nor anybody ??so that wo know of; but her as a great moment approaching ; and tho wt kill raging, and he (Griffin) commanding geiien f the "post, and determined to hold it to theTai xtremity. Tho enemy advanced, and Griffin fe nat he had bim just whero ho wanted him-vii i bia coffin; and that ho (Griffin) held the koy < no position. If Griffin had at any time in the courso of ti fe encountered General Johnston at the head < is gray brigades, we imagine that on this day, i 'exae, tho spectro of the boro would have risen r afore him, and he might not have boen able 1 old the church door. As it was, ho had to des ot even with a Confederate ghost, but with a st .sin of mourners followintr to his grave all th; as mortal of a noble Southern chieftain. He fe lat he co .Jd not only victorously repulse tl arpse, but also triumphantly insult the moor rs. And ho did it-alone he did it. He "canst ie body to bo laid in the open air, where it r ?ained all day, and was visited by thousands io thought he'was showing bia disrespect for tl ead; but he was. on the contrary, hy his very ot ige, enshrining him still more than ever in t carts of those thousands, and of hundreds ttousands more, who will read tho talo with li yes. That piece of bare ground in Galveston t ame, on the moment, a shrine, a catafalque ibernaclo, and will ono day bear a column oi tatue, when no human being will know the nai f Griffin save as the nome of tho person who i ultod the ashes of a hero. However, it is Grifli ay now-every griffin has his day. But noboi re apprehend, will greatly admire his achio nent; for albeit a living dog is botter than a dc lon; yet, if it 'lifts up its leg at tho noble boot arcase," no ono admires the dog. A WASHINGTON paper publishes the following The temper of Washington society was illusta id at the 1- ourth Presbyterian Church last Sum wening, the occasion being a Sunday School mt rig. The pastor of the church" waa absent, nrnistering communion at -one of the ne marches of the city, the exercises of the even seing conducted by a brother clergyman. Btu ?he meeting, Representative McKee, of Kenine iras called upon to speak to the children. He c< plied with the request. In the conree of his marks he alluded to the pastor of the church, the'service he was at that tune performing for solored people, and said to tho children tba boped they would be as ready as their pasto help the negroes at all times, and do what t could to aid a neighboring colored school. Tl remarks were so distasteful to the audience r. ant that : Colonel McKee was coughed down, not allowed to procoed. ~ _ CHANGES CAUSED BY THE WAE.-In on artic! the changea caused by the war in the South, Baltimore Transcript says: Misery is said to make strange bed-fellows, the dis tie saes caused by the late war have cor ly thrown many Sontheim men into positions associations extremely alien to their former suite and habits. - "Lord Stafford mines for coal and salt, The Duke of Norfolk deals in malk, ' - The Douglass in red herrings."

REPORTED VIEWS OF SECRETARY STANTON ON THE [TOATION.--The Washington correspondent of ie Boston Post sonds tho following to that lurnal: Hon. John Covode colled upon Secretary Starl? in yesterday, and thore ensued a long and friend ' discourse on tho status of the country. Mr. tonton appeared very desirous of discussing the nrrent events of national- import, and expressed imsolf freely. Ho confossod that from the very ntset the disputations of thc Executivo and Leg ilotive branches of-tho Government hod caused im the liveliest alarm, which, since the movo icnt toward impeachment, hod increased to an ap? rehensi?n of revolution and anarchy. Tho bur en of his remarks was in regard to cert'.in acts r the President and Congress, and he pointed loomily to the deleterious effects of each apon ic nation. In parting with Covode. Mr. Stanton ?uiuvked; "I aided to place two millions of men i the field to pat down tho rebellion; three bun red thousand have bitten the dust, and an equal umber are cripples throughout tho land; and yet, ith all this tremendous effort and corrosponding icritice, tho country, in rat judgment, is shadowed ith gloom of a darker hoar than was incident to ay crisis of the late war. " This latter expression T Mr. Stanton's solicitude is given me with ?rupulous exactitude by a gentleman minutely ac nainted with every circumstance in tho promises, nd who further avers that tho Secretary seemed jmpletely unmanned when ho uttered the last 'mark, und abruptly turned from his visitors to onccal his emotion. Professor AGASSIZ was born at Motiers, 8witzer nd, and was intended for the church. Ho is now fty-nine, and has been in this country twenty-one :ars.

Di the Hospitals of tho Army and Navy the surgeons Ondit tba very best tonie for convalescents, and report it as invaluable for sustaining the vigor of | troops on thc march, as a remedy for scurvy and all scor? butic affections, and as the only specific for sea-sickness. (California and Australia have emphatically endorsed lt ? as the Morant's MEDICINE par excellence, and in Spanish j America and all the tropical climates, lt ls considered 1 the only reliable antidote to epidemic fever. There is no mystery about the causes of its success. It ia the-only stomachic and alterativo in which are com? bined the grand requisites of a mild, pure and un vi dated j vegetable stimulant, with the finest selection of tonic, anti-bilious, anti-scorbutic, aperient, and depurativo I herbs, plants, roots, and barks, that have ever been inter- j mixed In a medicinal preparation. It is also proper to Btate that the Bittora are sold exclu" | 'slv ely in glass, and no vcr, under any circumstances, by j Ute gallon or the burel. Impostors and imitators are abroad, and the only safeguard the public has against them ia, to see that the Bitters they buy bear the en? graved label and nota of hand of Messrs.
