THE COTTON CROP-ITS PL-T?RE.
That most excollont journal, the "Xinaccial and
Commercial Chronicle," of January 26, contains
the following article ou the cotton prospects for
tho year, which our readore will find worthy of
perusal :
In estimating the bearing of these probabili?
ties of a reduced Bupply upon the value of raw
cotton, it is necessary, also, to take into account
the prospects of the supply Groat Britain is likely
to draw from olhor countrios than tho United
States. With reference to tho chief sources of
Eastern production, there appears to bo a general
disposition to moderate the estimates entertained
a few weeks agc. Tho grounds of this change of
opinion in England aro thus alluded to by our
London correspondent, under dato of January 5 :
"With regard to tho cotton trade, it may be" ob?
served that although spinners may purchase with
extreme caution, the present range of prices must
at least bo maintained, owing to the small quanti?
ties of tho staple afloat, and the prospect, there?
fore, of a small importation for some wocke to
come. So far as is at present ascortained, tho sup?
ply of East Indian Cotton afloat ia under 100.0U0
bales, while at this date in I860 the quantity known
to bo on passage to Europo was nearly 290,000
bales; and with regard to America, it appears that
only 32,000 bales aro on passage, against 00,000
bales in 18GG. These figures are certainly in favor
of continued firmness in tho cotton trade; hut, as
successive advices from India report steadily in?
creasing shipments of cotton to Europe, spinners
will evidently continue to operate cautiously in
concluding sales. At latest date,,viz., December
21, tho sbipmonts of cotton from Bombar were
progressing at tho rate of about 1C,000 bales per
week, being a considerable increase as compared
wiih the previous weeks; and, as the season for
new cotton had just commenced-there seems to
be even' probabilit? that with the continuance' ot
favorablo advices from Liverpool the exports from
Bombay will bc on a much more extensive scale.
These advices, wo know, have boen favorable to
the growers of cotton in India; hence there can bo
but little doubt as to tho naturo of our future ad?
vices from thc East. In the course of a month or
six weeks wo Bhall most probably observe a largo
increase in the quantity of East Indian cotton
lfloat. In Egypt tho crop of cotton has certainly
been productive of disappointment. Weworolcil
:o anticipate a crop of 600,000 bales, but sub3e
."1 uent advices have reduced tho estimate to
100,000, and finally to 800,000 bales. That tho crop
s by no means so extensivo as was announced at
hs commencement of tbe season may ba consid
;red certain; but in the present position of tbe
iotton trade, statistics relating to tao probable
>roduction of cotton in any country Bhould be well
authenticated b.fore full rebaneo is placed upon
heir correctness. It may, however, be looked
?pon as certain that the crop of cotton in Egypt is
luperior to last year, although there is so con
dderable falling off from the statements made at
he opening of thc season, with regard both to thc
ixtent and quality of tho crop. Our latest advices
rom Alexandria report fair shipments of produce
rom that port sincKNovember 1, but as compared
nth 186* there is a falling off of about 7000
?ales."
These combined considerations require a mal e
ial curtailment of estimates of the total supply
rom all sources entertained two or three months
go. The reduction may bo roughly represented
ty 250,000 bales for the United States, 250,000 for
lidia, 250. MO for Egypt, and 50,000 for Brazil, Din?
ing a total curtailment of original estimates
.mounting to 800,000 bales. These aspects of tho
iunply have produced a strong disposition among
toldera of cotton to stand firmly for higher prices;
.feeling not shaken by the movement among
lomes tic manufacturers for further curtailing their
traduction of goods.
Surveying the general condition of tho world's
narke ts", it wo"ld seem reasonable to expect an
clive demand Cor cotton goods during the present-)
ear.
The political status of Germany is settled, with
>ut, at least, any prospect of immediate disturb
nce, and with less commercial derangement than
night have been expected; and the Eastern i.pies
ion which, until recently, loomed darkly in tho
lorizon, presents no features likely to disturb the
urger markets for cotton manufactures. Tba
one of business in Manchester is assuming a
Qoro hopeful aspect, and spinners do not show
ny reluctance to buy cotton freely at current
trices.
Among those best acquainted with tho condi
ion of the South and with the disposition of cot?
on growers, tho opinion is strongly cherished that
ne next crop will be moro limited than has been
tenerally expected. There can be no doubt that
he profits upon the present crop aro too insignifi?
ant to encourage an extension of this branch of
traduction. Th- unwise tax upon cotton bears
nth great severity upon the growers, and has
wallowod up nearly all tho profits upon the ero?,
["he burthen of testimony goes to show that, with
he enhanced costs of labo-, and the une. nain ty
bout ita employment, it is impossible, upon ail
verane, to raise cotton for lesa than 25 cents per
lound; and adding to this tho tax of 3 cents and
he now heavy charges for transportation, it is
loar that there is no inducoincnt to lay out any
irge breadth, of land in tho production of tho
tapie.
The Southern crops of cereals, during the past
ear, have fallen below the wanta of that section,
nd breadstuff's have consequently ruled high; it
3, therefore, reasonable to supposo that this year
nore attention will be givon to grain culture and
ess to cotton-growing; and the more so as those
raps oro lesa subject to suffer from tho risks of
he seasons and tbe irregularity connected with
he present condition of the new labor system.
The conclusion indicated by a surrey oT all these
onsiderationB appears to favor very decidedly tho
irovailing firmness of thc cotton market.
the War Not Over.?
We do not know who wrote the following article
a the BiChmond Dispatch, of the 29th, from which
ra copy it, but from certain "ear marks," wo
hould guess at Mr. JOHN MITCHEL'S trenchant
on :
We begin to believe in this favorite principle of
Er. Stevens and his party. A gallant ongagenient
as justJaken place in Texas, whero "Gen. Griffin"
who is Gen. Griffin V) has achieved an exploit
< hieb. ?B, fer aught wo know, his fii'st feat of wrns.
Io hos heroically repulsed fro n a church door tho
orpse of General Albert Sidney Johnston. It was
n opportunity for Gen. Griffin; he had never had
ho honor to meet that gallant chief in battle while
live; nor anybody oise that we know of; but hero
nas a great moment approaching ; and tho war
till raging, and he (Griffin) commanding general
if thc post, and determined to hold it to tho last
ixtremity. The enemy advanced, and Griffin felt
hat he had him just where he wantod him-viz:
n his coffin; and that ho (Griffin) held the key of
he position.
If Griffin had at any timo in the course of his
ife encountered General Johnston at tho hoad of
lie gray brigades, wo imagine that on this day, in
texas, the spectra of tho hero would havo risen up
?efore him, and he might not have beon able to
told the church door. As it was, ho had to deal,
tot even with a Confed?rale ghost, but with a sad
rain of mourners following to his gravo all that
ras mortal of a noble Southern chief tain. He felt
hat he coald not only victoriously repulse tho
orpse, but also triumphantly insult thc moura?
is. And he did it-alone>he did it. He "caused
ho body to be laid in the open ah', whero it re?
gained all day, and was visited by thousands."
Ie thought he was showing his disrespect for tho
[ead; but he was, on tho contrary, by his very out?
age, enshrining him still more "than ever in tho
ieart8 of thoee thousands, and of hundreds of
houaauds more, who will road tho talo with hot
iyo8. That piece of bare ground in Galveston bc
:ame, on tho moment, a shrine, a catafalque, a
ahornado, and will one day bear a column or a
itatue, when no human being will know the name
>f Griffin save as the name of tho person who in?
tuited the ashes of a hero. However, it is Griffin's
Lay now-every griffin has bia day.. But nobody,
ve apprehend, will greatly admire his achievo
nent; for albeit a living dog is better than a doad
lon; yet, if it "lifts up ita leg at the noble beast's
?arcase," no ono admires the dog.
A WASHINGTON paper publishes tho following :
The temper of Washington society was illustrat?
ed at the Fourth Presbyterian Church last Sunday
evening, the occasion being a Sunday School moet
ng. The pastor of the church was absent, ad
ninistering communion at one of the negro
shurches of tho city, the exercises of tho evening
>eing condncted by" a brother clergyman. During
;ho mooting, Bepresentative McKee, of Kentucky,
vas called upon to speak to the children. Ho coni
ihod with the request. In tho courso of bia rc
norks he alluded to tho pastor of the church, and
?he service he was at that time performing for tho
jolored people, and said to the children that he
loped they would bo as ready aa their pastor to
lefp the negroes at ali times, and do what thoy
eould to aid a neighboring colored school. Those
remarks were so distasteful to thc audience pres?
ent that Colonel McKee was coughed down, and
lot allowed to proceed.
CHANGES CAUSED BY THE WAE.-lu an article on
;hc changes caused by tho war in tho South, the
Baltimore Transcript Bays:
Misery is said to make strange bed-follows, and
ihe distresses caused by tho Into war have certain?
ly thrown many Southern men into positions and
issociations extremely alien to their former pur?
suits and habits.
"Lord Stafford urines for coal and salt,
The Duke of Norfolk deals in maur,
Tho Douglass in red herrings."
General Leo teachiug a school, Joe Johnston
and Beauregard railroading, other Generals run?
ning express wagons and taking photographs, are
some specimens of the changes which the resulta
of the war havo wrought in the change of vocation
and habits. But these are nothing iii comparison
with tito metamorphosis in the fives of civilians;
of men and women once in affluent circumstances,
and who are now betaking themselves by force of
necessity to every occupation which can be named.
Gentlemen nico tho proprietors of large estates
may now be found equipped with yard-sticks,
holding plow-handles, or wei?hing out sugar and
coffee by th? pound in gr^cerv shops; ladies; high
brod dames, who were once, the loaders of society,
aro now taking in sewing for thc bare means of
subsistence. And happy are they who arc able.to
find such a refuge from thc wild beasts of poverty
and want. Others thero are, and the number ia
large, who, with families of little children depen?
dent upon them, have absolutely no resources, no
means of life, no earthly hope of idtimately escap?
ing the horrors of starvation.

REPORTED VIEWS OF SECRETARY STANTON ON THE
?mATTON.-The Washington correspondent of
he Boston Post sends tho following to that
onrnal :
Hon. John Covodo called upon Secretary Stan
on yesterday, and thero ensued a long and friend
y discourse on tho status of tho country. Mr.
itanton appeared very dosirous of discussing tho
urront events of national import, and expressed
liniBolf freely. Ho confessed that Druin tho very
mtset tho disputations of tho Executive and Leg
Blativo branches of tho Government had caused
lim the liveliest alarm, which, ainco tho movo
uent toward impeachment, had increased to an ap
?rehensiou of revolution ard anarchy. The bur?
len of bis remarks was in regard to certain acts
>f tho President and Congress, and ho pointed
gloomily to the deleterious effects of each upon
he nation. In parting with Covode. Mr. Stanton
emarked; "I aided to place two millions of men
n the field to put down the rebellion; three hun
Ired thousand have bilton thc dust, and an equal
lumber are cripples throughout tho land; and yet,
rith all thia tremendous effort and corresponding
aerifico, the country, in my judgment, is shadowed
rith gloom of a darker hour than was incident to
,ny crisis of tho late war. " This latter expression
tf Mr. Stanton's solicitudo is given me with
crapulous exactitude by a gentleman minutely ac?
quainted with every circumstance in tho premises,
ud who further avora that tho Secretary seemed
ompletcly unmanned when ho uttered tho last
emark, and abruptly turned from his visitors to
:ouceal his emotion.
Professor AGASSIZ waa bora at Motiers, Switzer

FIFTEEN ?EA??S AGO AND NOW;
FIFTEEN YEARS AGO
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BI [TEES waa struggling into
notice against the prejudices which everything new, how?
ever excellent, ia doomed to encountor.
TO-DAY
it stands at thc head or all thc tome and alterative prepa?
rations in existence. Its colebrity has evoked many Imi?
tations but NO RIVALS. Physicians pronounce it the only
safe stimulant that has ever beeu introduced hito thc
sick chamber. In the Hospitals of tho Anny and Navy
the surgeons find lt the very best tonic for convalescents,
and report it as invaluable for sustaining tho rigor of
troop9 on tho march, as a remedy for scurvy and all scor?
butic affections, aud us the only specific fur sea-sickness.
California aud Australia have emphatically endorsed it
aa thc MINER'S MEDICINE par excellence, and in Spanish
America und all thc tropical climates, it is considered
tho only reliable antidote to epidemic fever.
There is no mystery about tho causea of its success.
It is tho only stomachic aud alterative in which arc com?
bined thc grand requisites of a mild, pure and unvitiated
vegetable stimulant, wi til the finest selection of tonic,
u?tl-blllous, anti-scorbutic, aperient, and depurativo
herbs, plants, roots, and barks, that have ever been inter?
mixed in a medicinal preparation.
It is also proper to state that the Bitters arc sold exclu?
sively in glass, and never, uuder any circumstances, by
the gallon ov thc barrel. Impostors aud imitators are
abroad, and the only safeguard thc public has against
them is to see that tho Bitters they buy boar the en?
graved label and note of hand of Messrs. HOSTETIER
S? SMITH, and the Government stamp over thc cork of
thc bottle._0_January 28
To Soldiers and Friends of Soldiers.
Misfortune has fallen heavily upon Mrs. DONALD
ROWE, of Oraugoburg, Ihe great friend and nurse of
soldiers during the late war. The property of her hus?
band is advertised to bo ?old by thc Sheriff" on thc nert
sale day. und she will be left without house or home.
Many of thc soldiers who have boen relieved by her kind?
ness have expressed a desiro to assist her in this hour of
her distress. She labored for no pay during the war, and
now asks for no remuneration for her services; but wc
feel that il would bo a lasting reproach upon the country
to allow her to be turned homeless upon the world. We
therefore propose to purchase tho plantation for her.
Two thousand dollars have already boen secured for
this purpose, and we earnestly solicit contributions from
all who are williDg to assist in this noble work. Send
your money as speedily as possible. Remit to Mr.
LEONARD CHAPIN, Charleston, S.C; Rev. W. G. CON?

mHE WATER OF THIS SPRING IS BELIEVED, TO.
X be unequalled by that of any ether.in the lax-famed.
valley of Saratoga. Its virtues are such as have secured '
it the high encomiums of all who 3uwe used ic, possess*'
lng, as it does, in an eminent degree, cathartic, diuretic,,
alterative and tonic-qualities.

Practice of Physic, Jefferson Medical College, Phila?

PHILADELPHIA, November 16,1805.
; I have been fora year or more past in the habit of
taking tho water of the "Excelsior" .Spring ol Saratoga. '
Accustomed during the great portion of my invalid Ilia
to use the different waters of the a werai fountains which,
boil-up along that remarkable valli y. dependent,'indeed,
upon them tor much of tho comfort I enjoy, I am'oatis
fled that tho Excelsior Water ls as well adapted; os any
other among them, if not moro co, to the purposes for
which they are generally employed. It la very agreeable,
strongly impregnated with the carbonic acid, lively and
eparkhng. * * * I can b^arfily and ?wn^enwnajy
recommend it to all who need a gentle cathartic ana'
diuretic. SAMUEL HENRY DICKSON, M..D.
The Water ls put np in Pint and Quart bottles, and
packed in good order for shipping, Pints in bores ot '
four dozen each, and Quarts in boxes of two dozen each. -.

I have always recommended the Faber Poiygrada
Lead Pencils as the only pencils ?tted for both ornamen?
tal and mathematical drawing; but, after a thorough
trial of the American Polygrado Lead Pencils, man?
ufactured by the American Lead Pencil Company, New
York, I find them superior to any pencil in use, even to.
the Faber or the old English Cumberland Lead Pencil,
being a superior pencil for sketching, ornamental and
mechanical drawing, and ali the ordinary uses of a lead
pencil.
These pencils are very finely graded and have a very
smooth lead; even tho softest pencils hold Hie point well;
tliey are all that can be desired in a pencil. - It gives mo
great pleasure to be able to assure Americans that they
wiU no longer be compelled to depend upon Germany or .
arrv other foreign market for pencils. .
