Enc the tre? mendous change between-1862 'and 1871, has be? come, at las: oaly loo apparent by close contact wlth the "logio'o'r events." I have beheld the deso? lation, m?de?ll the more absolute by the usurpa? tion of several smart-loosing bull Unga, and moja especia?! byi?r? absurd caricature presented by "Hon." gentlemen ofblaori and yellow complex? ions, whose singular and- pains-taking burlesque of stratesmansinp ootivinces me-that Darwin's theory, as to a porttsn of the human race, at least-ls very, plausible indeed. I will ootr dwell opon the material ruins of Co? lumbia; tor the decay -which comes upon brick and -mor: ar is. a smell matter after all In- the his? tory of a proud people. But, with your permis? sion, I would be pleased to make brief comment upon the Statehouse an(Mts extraordinary con? tents. ; Even in its unfinished condition your State? house*^ one of the noblest edifices in America, wit h ont being among the most beautiful. Its greatperfecllonsare massiveness and amplitude. In these respects lt will, I donbt not, take a.fore most rank, especially when compared with the shoddy, Insincere and cramped architecture xi the- Ko wi. Its sl'lous faulte are a want of grace to relieve the majesty .and austerity ol the gene? ral design, and a neg : ext cr minor deuils incom? mensurate with tlie-grandeur of the pile.

It may be tbat an original Intention of having a splendid parti- J co and flight orgiant steps has been thwarted by the .calamities of Federal invasion. If so, con? sider my criticism unspoken. Be t his aa it may, yonr Statehouse, as a public edifice, ls something to be proud of, unflnl?fted as it ls, and stands as Hyperion to a Satyr, as Hercules to :he "Fat Boy-" th PickwlckTwhen compared. with that ex? halation of brick, that flimsy and mushroom glit? tering generatyy, th* Kembali -Opdrahouse at Atlanta, now the property of the State of Georgia BnTwtint's?aT: rta* or the contents, the human* contents, or yonrStatehqase?

THE COTTON TRADE. INTERESTING GLEANINGSI'JP B O M . TBB MAILS. The Next Cotton Crop. [From the New Orleans Picayune.] We- have closely examined our' country exchanges for the last three sr four- weeks:to ascertain the intention of the planters with regardrto the nexj; cotton crop. From near? by every -section of the South the reportar agree in stating that the acreage Uuder ^cot? ton wi? be largely reduced this spring. In some districts, it ls said, sot halt aa much cotton will be planted a.* was last season.. On the whole, r"we may safely estimate from twenty-five to rortyper cent, reduction In the acreage. Planten now fully realize the Tony or meir action last season in en? tirely neglecting food crops. They have paw pretty dearly for their experience, and the cotton crop of the South will henceforth, no .doubt, be: kept wltiiLn the propep limit of 3,000,-tOO-bales. * Prospects of the- Cotton Tracie.

It-was thought absolutely Impossible tUat .so much cot? ton could be gathered, lt was also'believed that receipts would thew marked railing off alter the . new year, when planters would have sold enough to meet their pressing UatiiiHiM. These views appear to befalaiiled by the course or event?. Therei-mo 5-igu ofseceipts falling oil, and as thc price is not so h-lfe'i as,to stimulate" planters to a rapid delivery, we can only account for : his Immense quantity arny, ag at the port? by'the supposition that-' the crop rs'enuimousty : Urge,- ano we Incline now to the" opinion that ' three and threc-qnarter millions is probable. Ot this we may feel sure-that unless a marked rail? ing off occurs, this month we will have to handlea quantity of cotton beyond wfiat any one thought , possible-a short time ago. We have on the water fuUy 400,000 .bales of American cu tum for Liver- . pool, and Ehercis no sign uf Oln?n tulon in the shlpffif-nts^-the amount on Bliipboard fet-New Or? leans for Liverpool- beiug-atilblOO.t'OO bales, lt appears likely that for many weeks we shan re? ceive an av- rage import of .80,000 bales of American cottm per week, er a total <rr loo.oob to. nokooo bales of alrklnis.

It ls. at present impossible to tay what government will opine tu 1 the surface In France, but we fear the end of-tlie war will not be the end of her trotrbied;> society is terribly disorganized in that uufortunate .owia try, and we fear commercial confidence will he" plow or revi-lug.

StJII we.do not antic pate excessive shipments while prices rem aw so moderaie^for the natives ?re reryrejuctentse lera at current pricer, and main? tain values quite above thi parity of Liverpool. . We think, however, that more cotwiu will come by canal lhan last year, ana this will add to the weight.of our spring arrivals.- Sprat cotton has beeu steadhr tuan Amerhan of late, and as our stuck must rapidly decile e for Hie neat mon tn or two, wc expect lt to Iwld Its own even against. .
