COTTON FKOSPECTS.-A correspond? ent of tho Louisville Journal writes from Now Orleans, after making n trip dowu the Mississippi, ns follows: lu comiug dowu tho river, I made it my special business to obtain in? formation in reference to the crops and the freedmen, as well as the situ? ation generally, and the result is moro favorable than I lind antici? pated. The corn crop was every? where represented as virtually' se? cured and to be magnificent. There is a single field of this valuable cereal iu Bolivar Conuty, Mississippi, of 6,000 acres. Cotton was looking well, but iu some localities the grass was growing, and tho rains sinco must have mado it worse. Tho cot? ton crop depends, of course, upon the part of the season yet future. It is admitted on all bands that, should the weather provo favorable, half a crop, as compared with that of 18G0, will bo made, which at present or prices likely to rule, will bring as much as a whole crop did before tho war. Tho hopes of the Southern ' people aro suspended, so to speak, upon a fair cotton crop. As the prospect for this grows blight or gloomy, so will'thc hearts of tho till? ers of tho soil swell with exultation or sink into something akin to despair. On some plantations that foo to the crop, tho worm, bus appeared, and his ra veges aro dreaded. Tho worm flourishes the most vigorously in cold wet seasons. As we took in and lauded passen? gers at neatly every stopping place, I had good opportunities to converse with diff?rent classes of persons from the interior, and almost without ex? ception found them cheerful and hopeful-moro so than I bad expect? ed. Little interest in politics seemed to be taken. Tho subject, in fact, was rarely introduced, unless I did it myself. To the question, how do the freedmen work? tho answer generally was that they were doing well-much better than lost year. On tho plan? tations of the Messrs. Hampton Wade aud Christopher-in Missis? sippi, the freedmen havo half tho crop, tho employers furnishing the supplies at a slight advance upon tho original cost. This appears to be tho rulo generally adopted. ? UVB OF THE GOODLETT HOUSE.- \ The building formerly known by the above name has reoently chauged hands. It has been purchased from the proprietor, Mr. H. Allen Tupper, for the use of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, for $5,000, payable in five years. Tho whole premises will at onco undergo a tho? rough repair, although no part of the general arrangement of the building will be chauged; after which, it will bo applied to the purposes of tho stndents in attendance upon the schools of the Seminary as residences, free of cost to them. [Greenville Enterprise. DEATH OF A CONOHESSMAN ELECT. Flake's (Galveston, Texas,) Bulletin; of the 10th inst.', says: Wo have intelligence that tho Hon. Claib Hubbard, member of Congress elect from this State, was killed at | Columbus, in a bar-room fight, by ai man named Speers, who was also killed by the guard, while endeavor? ing to make his escapo. Tho de? ceased had loug been a prominent Eolitician; had been a member of otb tho United States and Confede? rate Congroas. On the 24th of August next, an event will occur which has been only twice recorded in tho history of ce? lestial phenomena. Jupiter will ap? pear without sat?lites. Threo of them will then bo passing across the planet's disc, and tho other will be immersed in its shadow. The appa? rent absence of moons will last more than two hours. ENGLAND AND THE UNITED STATES. We^earn that very important nego? tiations aro in progress between our Government and Great Britain, look? ing to the settlement of all difficul? ties by a cession of tho British pos? sessions between the United States and those recently sold to this coun? try by Bussia, iu consideration of a surreuder of our claims for spolia? tions of Confederate cruisers lifted out iu English ports. Thcro is a strong probability of theso negotia? tions being brought to a successful termination.-National Intelligencer. Prof. W. F. Boo, writing from Elmira to a Southern pu per, says, in one year 1*2,000 rebels prisoners wero sent to Elmira. Of that num? ber, from th reo to four thousand died at that place. Tho Government purchased ground in tho cemetery, aud they wero buried in a locality by themselves, euch gravo being marked with tba name of thc person. It is proposed to enclose tho ground with an iron fence, to plant trees among the graves, nod make thc spot attractive The Washington Chronicle says: "Tho international difficulty likely to ariso in relation to tho death of Maximilian hus put the Government on tho gui rire. In order to pro vent auy foreign nations from taking advantage of his execution by in? terfering in tho nliuirs of Mexico, several war steamers uro to be sent from tho navy-yard to the mouth of tho Bio Grande, with a view to watch the Austrian licet which is to arrive in Mexican waters to demand tho body of the lato Emperor.

NATIONAL EXTE?TA?VHENT, For tho Bonefit of tho LADIES' SOCIETY In Aid of tho Siiilorina: and Destitute Poor of tho South. * Will take placo In Washington, D. 0.. August 1, '67. TIIK "Ladies' Society in aid of tho Suf? fering and Destitute Poor of tho South*' would respectfully and earnestly call thc attention of tho generous Northern public to the great distress and fearful Buffering now prevailing in the Southern States. Letters are daily received from the South, from tho Generals Commanding, Govern? ors, ministers and eminent citizens, fur? nishing tho most heart-rending details of tho actual want, famine and starvation in their immediate neighborhood. Tho fol? lowing few extracts from thc very many letters received by tho Secretary and Ma? nagers of the Society aro respectfully re? ferred to: R'DQUARTERS, 4TU MILITARY DIST., (MISSISSIPPI ANO AUKANSAS,) VlCESBUBO, Miss., May 13, 18C7. I am glad to seo that tho attention of the contle and humane ladies of the North is being turned towards the sad and desolate condition of this once happy land. Yon, Madam, surrounded with tho plenty and comforts of a wealthy city, can scarcely npprcciato the fact that, in many parts of the South, whole communities aro, by a failure in crops and tho absenco of money or its equivalent, loft in want o' .ho neces? saries of life; and that poor women, with largo families of helpless children, so ac? customed to depend on the labor of otherh, that now, with no husband, brother or servant to help, and no money, they do not know what to do or where to go for food; but are left in tho solitudes of these South? ern forests, in rags and gaunt with hunger, tmbsistiug on what tin; mother or larger children can shoooor pick un in tho woods, or on what the few neighbors, nearly as poor as they arc, can brinn them. Oflieors of my acquaint ai. have met with such mothers, long after dark, out in the woods, with an old gun just fired, and tho coon or possum just killed; have gone homo with them and met the group of little starvelings waiting patiently mother's re? turn with some of tue only sort of food they had tasted for weeks; and women and children have been found within sixty miles of tho capital of a Southern State, during the past year, who had starved to death in their lonesome cabins. These cases of groat distress aro rare in Southern cities, for there, even tho most delicately bred can generally lind somo work which they can ilo to keep the wolf from the door; bul the t 'rms or plantation- in the South aro pe? culiarly bccludcd, with miles of torest or swamp" between them, pour roads, and the -toe!; ;unl animals nearly all taken by the war, the famine, tho Hoods, or thc thieves, who in such times iufosl a country, and the distressed families aro often, by thc time necessity makes them .vant to leave, too sick to travel on foot, and there is no other way to go. imif proposed entertainment, Madam, should it produce only funds enough to re? lieve a small fraction of tho destitution of this country, w ill bc a good beginning, and maybe followed in other cities North by similar appeals to people who have happily never fell thc desolation and tho horrors which follow in tho tracks of great armies of invasion. God speed your society in the good work, is the wish nf, Madam, yours truly, H. (). C. OKI), Brevi t Major-General. COI.UMIUA, S. C., May 10, 1S07. Permit mo not only to give you the as? surance of my poor help in this your gen? erous endeavor lo relieve our impoverished and unhappy people, but to expross to you in their behalf, that gratitude which is so eminently your due tor tho g?nerons sym? pathy manifested by your organization for those among us in distress. Wishing you dod speed in your noble, work, I am, Ma? dam, very respectfully, your obedient ser? vant, "JAMLS L. OUR, Governor South Carolina. ns ADQUABTEOS, SECOMB MILITARY DIVISION, CHARLESTON, S. C., May 13, 18(17. The excellent purpose you have in view cannot bc too much commended. The lib? erality of the Govornmont of tho United States, and tile munificent contributions alroadv made for tho relief.of the wide? spread destitution in tho States, leaves great numbers unprovided with food and clothing. And until an abundant harvest enables tho peoplo hero to do moro for themselves, I trust the ever gonerous and prosperous committees of tho North will continue their noble gifts to this impover? ished and afflicted population. With my b?!fit wishes for the success of your under? taking, I remain, Madam, very respectful? ly, DANIEL E. SICKLES, Commanding Second Military District. HEADQUARTERS, FIUKT MILITARY DIVISION, RICHMOND, VA., May ll, 18(57. Mrs. Marlowe Mather -MY DRAB MAUAM: I shall bo too glad if anything I can say will aid tho Bocicty in its noble work. A large proportion of the people of the South have suffered and many are still suffering almont to the limit of endurance from the devastation of war and subsequent failure of crops. They are making every possible exertion to revive their various brunches of industry and become self-supporting. The liberal assistance which tho Northern peoplo aro well able to give, will relievo a great amount of distress, and w ill no doubt be sufficient to place the poor of tho South beyond further suffering for food. Tho recent manifestations of an almost univer? sal dosire throughout the South for a really fraternal re-union with the North, may well sorvo to stimulate the generous sympathies of tho Northern people, whilo nothing could d?) moro to foster and encourage the growth of a healthy sentiment in thu South than tho generous aid which it is the mission of your society to invoke. I sincerely hopo the noble efforts of tho society may result in tho most abundant success. I am, dear Madam, very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. M. SCHOFIELD, Maj. Gen. GBKENSBORO, May 14, 1867. Have Jost roturnod from a tour through the section mado moraorable by "Sher? man's ?narch to the eeaboard." Poverty, suffer' < and destitution of tho people can .cai ~v be realized-living in hate, rudely constructed of charred boards, of rails, boughs and mud, yon aro met by hollow eyed, emaoiated forms, whose first words aro "bread"-for something to stifle tho craving? of hunger. In ono place, I wit? nessed tho body of a child homo to its last rest, on a board, in tho samo rags in which it died. In another, four females existed for a week on two poundB of corn, together with some roots. On tho road, I mot an? other who had walked twelve miles to beg somo food for her children. Manv other instances, can be givon of sad suffering from actual want of food. Very truly, FREDERICK WATTS, M. D. The publie have already responded nobly to tho call, but not to tho extent required to koop starvatioti irom making victims of many. Additional funds must be raised at once; tho ease is urgent. The Lady Ma? nagers, after mature deliberation, have decided to bring it before tho generous people of tho North, by giving a Grand National Entertainment, trusting to their activo co-operation and sympathizing aid for tho immediate supply of means to en? tibio them to purchase and forward ffl ?'\ to starving thousands. Tho Grand Na? tional Entertainment will be given at Washington, D. C., August 1,1867. 300,000 tickets will be offered for sale, at #2 each. Every ticket will bo entitled to an award, which will tako placo at the same timo. Half of the amount will be in valuablo awards to the holders, and thc balance will bo devoted at once by tho Lady Managers to purchasing food to bo sent South tor immediate distribution among the most needy. Tho Lady Managers havo entered into an arrangement will? Messrs.

I havo taken one bottle of your Queen's Delight, the eruption has disappeared, my appetite is botter, my liver and digestion is im Croved. I am satisfied one or two moro ottlos will cure mo."
