Is QUARANTINE, ?
WILMINGTON DEPOT, August 27..J
A most unprecedented and disagreeable
contretemps, growing directly out of the ex?
cited fears of the good people ot Wilmington,
has occurred to the' passengers who left
C uar lost on on the Saturday evening train on
the Northeastern Railroad, i On arriving at
lleare's Bluff, the last station between Charles?
ton and Wilmington, the train was boarded hy
Health Officer Wm. Gerkin, and each passen?
ger from Charleston notified that he would
apt be alloweortb-enter the corporate limits of
the city, but would be required to remain at
the depot during the d?tention of twelve
hours occasioned by the arrangement of the
railroad schedule. It was further ordered that
the sleeping car attached to the train should
be detained at Meara's Bluff; bat it was anally
arranged, through the exertions of tbe con?
ductor, Mr. Walker, that it should be brought
to the turnout Just outside of the city.
The promulgation of this order created, as
may be imagined, no little consternation
ff among the proscribed passengers, but sub?
mitting to. the authority which had issued it,
they offered no resistance, and gave no intima?
tion of any wish to disobey or evade lt in any
war. Notwithstanding this, however, the city
marshal, who made his appearance at the
depot during the morning, subjected the pas?
sengers to : the indignity of placing a guard ot
colored policemen over the party, which In?
cluded, besides several- ladies-and children,
Captain B. T. Benshawe, ol the United States
Navy, Hon. T. Hurley, of Charleston, your
correspondent, ana eight or ten other gentle?
men, all travelling on business or under official
orders. Captain Benshawe, who is under
-orders from the Navy Department, and is now
within a few miles of his destination, was re1
Xused the liberty of passing through the city
to reach his station, and w hen he requested of
the marshal, who had .officially signed the
order by which we are all in quarantine, a cer?
tificate that the latter bad detained him, the
marshal coolly refused to sign such certificate,
?fing that he was only acting under the
orders of the Mayor.
In the published order by Marshal Cana
day, of Wilmington, he claims to haye receiv?
ed Information from the Mayor of Charleston
that 11 the yellow fever prevails in that cltyrop
an epidemic" The Information thr.t he act?
ually did receive, irom Mayor Pillsbury, and,
as he stated to your correspondant, the infor?
mation upon which be based his order, is that
contained in the following dispatch:
CHARLESTON, August 25.
To W. P~Canaday, Marshal of City of Wil?
mington:'
The yellow fever ls here. The board of
health decides that it is assuming epidemic
jgiorm. G. PILLSBURY, Mayor.
The italics In both documenta are my own,
but it will be seen by comparing the Italicized
portions of the two, that the Wilmington offi?
cer has, to put a mild term upon lt, taken a
liberty with truth, such as is neither consiBten*
with official integrity, or with ' that courtesy
and comity that should exist, between two
Cltiea, united In so many ways as are Charles?
ton and Wilmington. There appears, ta-.nave
. been no effort taken by the Wilmington au
thorn les el tt? er to calm the exaggerated feajre.
of-their own community,:or to state truthfully
the condition of the City of Charleston. . Their'
exertions' to-day have'been directed to making
a theatrical display ol confining In an open
and wholly com!ortleaa depot a party of ladle*
and gentlemen.whose crime has been the
living In or passing through" the City
of Charleston, and who form the centre of a
group of gaping Wllmlngtonians, who amuse
thft?is?lvfls by Totalling stories of the- tearful
ravages of the lever in Charleston, and point?
ing out the gentlemen in the party who have
the pestilence In their pockets, ready to throw
into the town. Meantime, the disconsolate
dozen of Ch arl es toni ans organized a meeting,
with toe Hon. Tim Hurley presiding, and made
overtures to their beleaguers.. These were pf
the most liberal kind. We offered to take the",
oath ol allegiance; to pass resolutions to en?
courage immigration;to sink, pur fortunes in
Wilmington City bonds; to swap Mayors, give
them our present City Council, or even to lend
them T. J. Mackey; but they were inexorable.
We'-even expressed our willingness tb receive
a public dinner at the bands of the authorities,
or to read the Blot Act to the colored guard,
but lo accept the freedom of the city la a
Silver snuff-box we peremptorily declined.
Captain Benshawe was a chained tiger, chafing
under the unwonted indignity of being kept
In close quarters, ostensibly to protect the
health of the city, while the citizens were
freely allowed to come and go. Mr. Harley
had a double duty in his divided fealty to the
fSladlcal party and his empty stomach. Mr.
Waiker simply 'wanted to go home: Tour cor?
respondent had an eye single to the approach?
ing dinner, and the rest ot the party were In
a ata te of quiet disgust with the whole thing.
At last, however, a solid dinner came from the
Purcell House, and was discussed with such
appetites as twenty-four hours fasting were
likely to produce, and the Weldon train soon
alter supervening,' tile party left for Weldon
and the North, by no means sorry to escape
the rather peculiar hospitality ot the Wilming
tonlans. ..; B. W. T.

IN QUARANTINE, )
WILMINGTON DEPOT, August 27. j
At a meeting of quarantined passengers from
Charleston, S. C., on the Wilmington, Colum?
bia and Augusta Railroad, heir! at this place
this dayr tt^wasr
Resolved, That the detention by the health
officers of Wilmington of a party ot ladies and
fentlemen Irom a city in which no epidemic
as been officially announced to exist, for the
ostensible purpose of protecting the health of
the City of Wilmington, was a measure of un?
necessary and unprecedented severity and
hardship.
That the-circumstances that attended such
detention, in the neglect to furnish, or allow
to be furnished, any other accommodations
than ac open shed br depot, the placing of an
armed guard of colored policemen when there
bad. been na intimation ot any intention of
evading the quarantine, and the refusal to
famish any means ot subsistence until most ol
the party had been twenty-four houre without
food, are such as to indicate that a laudable
-desire to protect the health of the city was not
the only Impulse prompting such action.
That the inconsistency of the conduct of the
Sty authorities of Wilmington, in subjecting
ls party to the painful inconveniences of a
-quarantine, is forcibly shown by the fact that
while an armed guard prevented this party
?rom moving beyond the confines o? the depot,
numbera of the citizens of Wilmington were
allowed to, and did, mingle freely, and even
obtrusively, among the proscribed passengers,
and then return to the city, carrying with
them doubtless quite as much Infection as
would have been communicated if this Dart y
had been allowed to go quietly to their respec?
tive hotels.
That the cordial thanks of this parly are
due. and are hereby tendered, to Colonel John
A. Davis, ol the Purcell House, for the excel?
lent dinner which was at last prepared and
brought, at no Inconsiderable trouble and ex?
pens?, to the isolated position which had been
Improvised for the first land quarantine estab?
lished in a civilized community in many years.

THE INJURY TO LONG-COTTON-CRITICAL CONDI?
TION OF TH?? RICE CROP-AN EXPECTED HALF
CROP OF SHORT COTTON.
A well informed correspondent, writing from
Pocotaligo on the 26th, gives THE NEWS this
Interesting information about the crops :
1. The area in long cotton ls one-third less
than last year.
2. Long cotton will be cut short at least one
hall by the storm-probably more. Prior to
the storm, tbe crop was more promising than
it has been since the war.' The gale on Tues?
day last did more damage than the one on the
Er ev lou s Saturday. The cotton-limbs have
een broken and bruised, and the plants so
bruised by the wind as to make boles in the
ground around the stalks. They will inevit?
ably take a second growth and cast some of
the fruits, und a good deal has been already
thrashed oil in the gales. Floe fields of marsn
cotton, said to be good for a bale to the acre,
have bean twice inundated. The last over?
flow has not passed off yet. and the colton has
begun to rust ia tbe lower branches.
The rice crop has not suffered as much here
as on the rivers, as the.harvest bas not begun.
Much of lt will, however, be overripe before
the fields can be dried, and considerable loss
will he sustained from this cause. One hun?
dred and eighty acres in this vicinity will
probably prove a total loss by the break?
ing of reserves. The whole crop was and
still is In a critical condition, as the water
had risen almost up to the beads o? Tice.
The weather s ti il continues stormy, and
the easterly winds back - up the tides
and retard the drainage ot the rice fields.
Fresh-water streams that run nearly dry at
theebblncoi the tide, have kept for the past
eight days nearly brimful at dead low waler.
So the prospect for a good rice harvest ls
gloomy In the extreme.
Short cotton In the upper portion of the
county suffered severely from drought, which,
followed by the storm, will have a telling effect
upon it, I live tn the long .cotton belt, but
have been informed that not more tv.an a half
orop will be made.
The corn crop of this county ls fine, and has
been little damaged, as lt ls nearly mature.
3. Expenses ot making the crops will proba'
bly be twenty-five per cent less than last year,
as commercial fertilizers have been little used,
and labor has been cheaper.

THE CORN PROSPECT-COTTON A HALF CROP
COST OF PRODUCTION.
Our correspondent J. F. D.. writing from
Chester on the 25th, says:
The early corn In this section has done well;
that planted late has proved a total failure,
owing to the long drought. Cotton-prospects
are generally bad, and planters despondent.
It may be safely estimated at not over one
half of previous year. Fertilizers have not
been used extensively. The cost of produc
ductlon, owing to lower price ot provisions,
have been materially reduced, - ana we hope,
with enhanced value of the staple, to compen?
sate for the'deficiency ia quantity.
EOREIQy VOTES AND GOSSIP.
-General Manteuffel, who seemed to be
efficient enough during the late war, ls about
to resign command of the German army ol oc?
cupation tn France, on account of charges of
incompetency which have been made against
him by the press and people ot Germany. His
successor ls named ia the person of a General
Barnekow, a division commander.
.-Mormonism does not appear to be making
very rapid progress-In England. In the Bir?
mingham Conference, composed ot eleven
branches, tbeavhole number of new members
received daring last year was only twenty-one.
As there were nine deaths and nine excom
mun [cations, the net gain cannot be regarded
as enormous. The total number of Mormons
In the Birmingham district at this time is stat?
ed at 840.
-Of all the French soldiers, prisoners of
war, who have been for months past Inmates
ol German prisons, none now remain in the
foreign land but Invalids and those who have
been placed ?under arrest tor misdemeanors.
The sick number In all four, officers and eight
hundred mea, 'and there are ten officers and
about seventy-five, men in one Bavarian and'
different Prussian fortresses who are under?
going the sentences inflicted npon them for
offences committed during their captivity."
-The. St. Gotthard Ballway,'across the Alps,
is announced to accomplish important results.
Genoa and Leghorn are to become depots for
th? commerce of Germany, and German mer?
chant vessels "wi ll soon be numerous In the
waters of the Mediterranean. As an eminent
Austrian Journalist said a few weeks ago,
"Prince Bismarck has perceived that the Medi?
terranean may be ruled over from the banks of
the Spree by means of the St. Gotthard Rail?
road."
-In the recent municipal council elections,
under German auspices, in Alsace and Lor?
raine, the vote in the communes of the Lower
Rhine was in some cases eighty, fifty, and
thirty per cent, of the electors. In the Upper
Rhine districts, including Colmar and Stras?
bourg, a comparatively light vote was oast,
ind in many other towns abstention from vot?
ing seemed tobo the rule. In some places
not more than a dozen or so voted, out of elec?
toral lists numbering as high, almost, as 2000.
Cn Colmar, out or 4413 electors, 1649 voted,
?ind at Strasbourg 7380 voted out of 17,090.
-Ur. John Ruskin, having made a *'pot of
money" out of a real estate transaction, has
put aside one thousand pounds sterling as a
fund for opening an English paradise. It ls,
he says, a trank and simple gift to the British
people; nothing of it ls to come back lo the
giver. It ls to accumulate, and Its proceeds
are to be applied lo the enrichment of-the
earth, the redemption of roc?e and moor, the
schooling ot children,., the teaching.of gentle?
ness -to brute creatures, the cultivation of the
finer graces ot social lite, and such other pur?
poses as a paradise fund may properly serve.
-The traction engine for common roads ls
now the subject of greet interest in England,
and the mechanical magazines are publishing
illustrations of the method of application of
this motive power. A traction engine with an
omnibus lias Just been constructed for the Gov?
ernment of the British East ladles, and IB de?
signed to run for the conveyance of passen?
gers and malls, and also of troops and supplies
tor the distance of sixty-eight miles, between
Baw ul Plndee and Jhelum, In the Punjaub.
Four engines and omnibuses have been built
for the government. The engine, running on
common dirt roads, is placed on three wheels
instead of four, giving lt a smaller base, and
thus enabling ll to turn within Its own length
and breadth, and to manoeuvre along narrow
and crooked highways. All the parts are con?
structed ot wrought iron or steel, BO that the
machine ls much more compact and lighter
than the ordinary locomotive. The principal
dimensions are as follows : Diameter ot cylin?
der, eight Inches; length of stroke, ten Inches;
revolutions per minute, one hundred and sev?
enty-two; working pressure, one hundred and
forty pounds; diameter of main road wheels,
six leet; width of India rubber tires, fourteen
inches and a halt; thickness of India rubber
tires, four inches and a half; greatest speed o?
englue, ten miles an hour, and slowest speed
three miles. The capacity of the water tank
is three hundred and seventy gallons, and the
capacity of the coal bunkers one ton. The
weight of the engine with tender fully supplied
with water aDd coal, is twelve tons. The om?
nibus attached, which ls a double-decker, will
larry sixty-five passengers, with baggage and
mall bags._ _

COTTON LOOMING UP !
THE EFFECT OF TUE WORM A SD TUE
ENORMOUS CONSUMPTION.
The Bear? Beginning to Yield to the
Pressure of the Coming Short Crop.
The New York Financial and Commercial
Chronicle, ol Saturday^ In ita, weekly review
of the cotton market, says:
The m:.t^et the past week has, notwith?
standing the small business done, taken
another upward turn In response to the in*
creased sales and higher prices at Liverpool,
which appear to have been Induced by the re?
ports in regard to the crop sent from this
side. The Associated Press have telegraphed
over the country that caterpillars are destroy?
ing the cotton plant, and this statement, toge?
ther with the fact that the rains of late have
been frequent and excessive In some sections
having been telegraphed to Liverpool, formed
the basis ot the rise tn prices. Consumption in
Europe and this country is, in fact, so larye at
present that the market is very sensitive to the
least adverse rumor of tlie kind referred to.
We learn this week that late returns indicate
that our Northern mills are now consuming
fully 19,000 bales per week, and -'so
long as this ls the case, and Liverpool
disposes of 75.000 bales per week tor consump?
tion and exporc as during the past week, we
cannot be surprised at the effect of reports
which state that the supply from this country
is to be very materially curtailed. Fortunate?
ly these newspaper reports of destruction from
the caterpillar are at least premature, and this
conviction has shown its influence in our mar?
ket to-day by a decline of ic. from the highest
prices of yesterday, and the close to-day was
quiet at the decline, the total sales for the day
reaching only 883 bales. Holders are becoming
rather more timid of late, and generally the
offerings have been abundant at the current
rate. This timidity arises from the near ap?
proach ol the period when the new crop will
begin to be sent forward, and the lear that the
improvement in prices will lead planters io
market their cotton early and freely, and thus
prices be forced down below their present
level. For forward delivery there has been a
very active movement with wider fluctuations
in prices than lor spot cotton, butat the close
the rates show only about the same Improve?
ment. ?
Easton's New York Cotton Circular for Au.
gust 25 says :
The iolowing was circulated yesterday :
"WASHINGTON, August 25.
The reports of the cotton crop now, being re?
ceived by the Bureau ot Agriculture, are very
unfavorable. The officer in charge of. these
reports says the Department will be fully sus?
tained in Its Juae and July reports, notwith?
standing the odium cast upon them by specu?
lators and others."
Although the Bureau have as yet issued no
official report, we have no doubt that the
above was obtained In some way from the De?
partment, in advance of the regular issue, as
was the case in June and July.
As our friends may not remember what was
said In the reports of June and July, referred
to above, we reprint lt here :
June Report.-"Au official estimate of the
ultimate result so early In the season would
be an absurdity. The Influence of the future
rains, floods, frosts and Insect enemies, cannot
be calculated lu advance. Butin view of the
extremely favorable circumstances affecting
the crop ol last year, there cannot be expected
in the present season, upon a reduced area,
exceeding three and one-half millions of bales.
An early frost, or the .prevalence of insects, or
a very unpropitious season, might reduce the
yield to three millions; and a still further re?
daction is possible in the union or severity of
these causes of failure."
July Report.-"While no estimate can, at
this early date, be authoritatively made, this
information leads to the following conclusions:
With a reduction of li percent, in acreage, the
continuance of the present relatively low con?
dition, and a season as long as that of 1870, there
should be gathered a crop of 3,200,000 bales,
or about as large as that of 1869; with a sea?
son of average length, 2,900.000; witU an early
frost, and a very un lavo rab le season for pick?
ing, 2,700,000. The prevalence of insects, with
other unpropitious circumstances, would pro?
bably reduce the crop to 2,600,000 bales.

MRS. WOODHULL EXPLAINS.
Why She Live? with lier Two Husband*
-Reply to Air. Greeley's Letter in the
Golden Age.
[From Woodhull A Claflln's Weekly.]
Let us turn to the consideration of my of?
fences as enumerated by Mr. Greeley, the of?
fences of "one who has two husbands after a
sort," "who lives in the same house with them
both, sharing the couch of one but bearing the
name of the other," and bf one who may be
"persuaded to overbear her shrinking modesty
and nominate herself." In respect to my do?
mestic relations, which were dragged upon the
public by those who desired and Intended to In?
jure me, but to whom I am only too grateful for
that favor, I knew not when 1 decided and acted
at tho several epochs of my life I should ever
meet with a single outside friend who would
justify me. But, as I was justified to myself, I
decided and acted as I did: and I am not only
embarrassed by the idea that any one should
think that by speaking on the Bubject at all I
am condescending to apologize to anybody. I
was divorced from Dr. Woodhull for reasons
which to me were sufficient, but I was never
his enemy. He continued to need my friend?
ship, and he bas had lt. My children contin?
ued to prize and to need his affection and pres?
ence, and they have had them. Circumstances
over which I assumed the right to decide for
myself, to the satisfaction ot ah who were im?
mediately concerned, made lt best that I should
retain in public the name by which I was al?
ways kno wn, as in the case of actresses, sing?
ers and other public women ls often done, tn
both respects my conduct is undoubtedly ir?
regular. I knew not how lt would be ac?
counted for by tbe world, If the world should
trouble Itself with the matter; but tbe com?
plete acceptance and Justification not merely,
but the appreciative laudation also, which has
been conferred on my course in respect to my
"two husbands," even In the most conserva?
tive quarters, have been among the most grat?
ifying experiences of my lite. That I should have
dared to be the protector and Irlend of a dis?
carded but unfortunate husband has not con?
demned me in the Judgment of the Christian
women and others ot this enlightened com?
munity, and, with the exception of some
thoughtless badinage and mere slang, Ur.
Greeley's Is almost the only voice 'hat has been
raised adversely.

ANOTHER AWFUL EXPLOSION.
MOBILE. ALA., August 28.
The low pressure steamer Ocean Wave ex?
ploded her boiler at hali-past 5 o'clock on Sun?
day afternoon, at Point Clear wharf.. About
two hundred excursionists were on board.
From fllty to sixty were killed or wounded.
Some of the bodies have been brought to this
city by the steamer Fountain and were burled
last night; others will be brought to-day. Ef?
forts are being made for the recovery of the
drowned. The cause of the disaster has not
?been ascertained. An investigation will be
made. Of one Creole family, consisting of
seven persons, six were killed. The captain,
engineer and pilot were killed. Only three
officers escaped.
LATER_The steamer Ocean Wave, a low
pressure boat, left the city Sunday morning
with about two hundred persons on board, for
an excursion to the Fish Elver, about twenty
miles from the city. On her return she stopped
at Point Clear, reaching there at 5 P. M. The
boat was made fast and part of the passengers
went ashore. Alter remaining bair an hour,
the whistle blew and the passengers had Just
got aboad when the boiler exploded with great
force, followed by a rumbling, hissing sound.
Fragments of lumber and metal flew tn every
direction. The forward part of the boat and
cabin was carried completely away. The
chimney fell backwards toward the rear of the
boat, crushing the upper cabin, and the boat
immediately sunk with her bow submerged.
About sixty or seventy persons were killed
or Injured by the explosion. So far, the
bodies ot nineteen dead, eight ladles among
the number, have been recovered. Twenty
eight wounded have been brought to the city,
and one of the number, a little girl, has since
died. The scene was appalling, terrific and
heartrending. Wilder scenes of grief have
seldom been witnessed. The frantic cries of
the survivors as they lamented for their lost
wives, .children, parents and sisters, were
agonizing. Many of the passengers were little
children,and many little hats aun bonnets came
ashore to tell of the little-victims beneath the
waves. The captain, William Eaton, swam
some time with both legs broken. A boat
reached him Just too late, and he went down.
The two pilots were killed, the engineer and
his wife severely injured, and all the firemen
killed. It is Impossible correctly to estimate
the loss. By some it Is supposed that at least
thirty or forty persons are still buried in the
debris of the wreck, or at the bottom of the
bay. A diver has gone to the scene of the dis?
aster. The accident has cast a gloom over the
whole city, and universal sadness prevails.
The streets are crowded with people, and the
excitement is Intense.
The Ocean Wave has been for some time
considered an unsafe' boat, and has always
been an unlucky one. A criminal responsibil?
ity rests somewhere. The boiler was not
so much exploded, as lt was torn open with a
long seam. It was so rotten as to literally
tear open. Had it been stronger so as to ex .
plode with greater violence the destruction
would have been greater. The. loree of the
explosion was upward and forward.

Of Harvard University,
Author of "How Plants Grow," "School and Fleht
Book of Botany," "Manual of Botany," "Struc?
tural and systematic Botany," Ac, Ac.
"Botany should be taught In every school, and
these Volumes should be the Text-Books."-Prof.
J. S. Davit, University af Virginia.
The publishers beg to call the attention of those
about forming classes in Botany to the well-known
works by Professor Gray. Havlngbeen carefully
revised, they present the latest and most accurate -
principles and developments of the science, and
u ls sufficient indorsement or them to state tha?
they are used in almost every noted College, High
School and Seminary In the country, and are rec?
ommended over other series by nine-tenths or the
leading Professors and Botanical Teachers m the
United States.
No author has yet approached Professor Gray ia
the rare art of making purely scientific theorise
and dry details popular and interesting. From
his charming elementary work "How Plana'
Grow." to his more elaborate "Manual," there ts
one simple, concise and yet exhaustive method ot
teaching the various grades of the study.
