COLUMBIA. Sunday Morning, JW 21.1867. ?^==^=====?= '' ? Cotton ?nd tU* Cotton Taut. A late Liverpool circular estimates that tho atook of American cotton on hand, nt seo, and to arrive by De comber 31, at 680,000 bales, which would be equal to 20,000 bales per week; while tho stock of East India cotton on baud, and expected to ar? rive by tho sumo dato, is estimated nt 925,000 boles, equal to a weekly sup? ply of 36,000 bales. Tho iucreaso of the production of foreign cotton is going on slowly, but surely; and the last Liverpool advices show that, although tho mar? ket had assumed a degree of activity, yet quotations had declinerl, from tho 1st instant, over With an esti? mated crop bf 2,500,000 or 3,000,000 bale?, it is not likely that thoro will be any considerable or permanent advance in prices-indeed, a declino may ho looked for. Under these circumstances, with tho efforts now being successfully made to extend the cultivation of cotton to countries where experi? ments aro being mado for tho first time, tho tax OD Southorn cotton, im? posed by tho Congress of tho United States, is not only unwise and injudi? cious, hut may ovontually provo fatal to its production on the fiuest cotton lauds iu tho world. Thoro is also a strange inconsistency iu thia legisla? tion; for whiio all tho Acts of Con? gress profess and uro designed to fa? vor thc freedmen-tho cotton-growers of tho Southern States-yet that body imposes this heavy tax on their labor, thus not only crippling tho energies of tho land-owners, and driving thom to tho cultivation of rjQier produce, but makes tho poor laboMff pay $10 or $12 per bale for ovory Dalo of cot? ton ho raises. Wc could wish, but do not hopo, that Congress will, at its present ses? sion, repeal this tax. A resolution, however, looking to such :i movement was objoetod to, so mo days ago, and therefore could not be introduced. Tho secret of its continuance is only to bo fouud in tho persistent efforts, in moro ways than ono, of tho East? ern manufacturers, who uro benofitted iu tho purchase of their supplios to tho extent of that tax. It is for this that the white producer is deprived cf his natural profit on tho produc? tion of tho groat staple, and for this that tho freedman is nu justly shorn of a portion of tho fruits of his labor and industry. But this policy, if con? tinued, must, in tho long run, prove disastrous to tho Northern manufac? turers, for tho production of the Southern staple will cease, or become so greatly diminished, that they will havo to look for their supplies abroad, and como into competition with Man? chester, which would have all tho ad? vantages o vor tho spindles and looms of tho East, both in tho cost of trans? portation aud of manufacture, in which tho former competitor excels. Tho Southern farmer eau raise other products, and livo; manufactures can bo built up; and tho people, no longer seduced by largo profits on tho production of their favorite staple, will seek other departments of in? dustry, and attend more closely to tho development of their vost and various resources. Ou tho whole, therefore, we do not know but that the short-sighted policy of taxing tho leading product of tl^ soil of the South may, in the end, prove benefi? cial to her people. A letter from Buonos Ayres says: .'Largo numbers of thoso unfortunate meu and womeu, beguiled from tho United States to omigrato to Brazil, begin to find their wuy there. They arc ppor, helpless, deceived, and aro witnesses of tho folly of leaving tho United States for any country under tho sun. Deceived by runners of various kinds, and fiually enlisted in tho army, is tho fate of many a poor follow. That Brazilian Bohemo (swindle?) ought to bo exposed. -1 ? ?i? Tho Houston (Texas) Telegraph is urging, with much ability, tho occu? pation of Mexico hy tho F?deral Government. It waubs Congress to add Mexico to tho Fifth Military Dis? trict, and tells Gen. Sheridan that, if ho will only undertake to reconstruct that etato of "provisional govern? ment" over thoro, ho will find many a man ready to go with him, under thc United States flag, whom ho now deems "rebellious." Kxpl?lned. Some week or two ago, thc Ben nettsville Journal gave notice of a lectnro or address that wonl(l be de-1 livered io that place, auder thu title of "Hew to tho line-let the chips fly as&iey may.'1 It appears that it was an essay delivered before the Sons of Tomperanoe, by D. D. Mo Coll, Esq. A -writer in tho Journal \ explains tho cuption or title as fol? lows: "For tho particular information of the Phoenix, he must understand that hewing of wood is a process by which a piece of timber is marked off with a line, in the direction reqmired, and thou, with a broad-axe, is squared according to thnt line-in which ope? ration many chips are thrown off, calculated to draw off the attention, and cause the lino to bo forgotten, whereby the object iu view is defeat? ed. The application is made "where, in tho business of lifo, small trifles that will fly about like chips aro suf? fered to iu terrero with useful pur? poses, nud thus sacrifico tho great end in view to tho attraction of un? worthy objects. Tho duties of lifo aro to bo steadily pursued iu a straight line, and all obstructions ure to bo manfully removed as with a broad-axe, keeping the eye upou tho line, and not allowing it to be at? tracted by anything else." All right; nud we may add, that the young orator who hewed to that line during the late war, paying no atten? tion to the chips of folly ami dissipa? tion flying around him, will be obie to present his block perfectly squared, when called upou to render an nc couut of life's labor by the Grand Builder, at thefiuul day of reckoning. ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION NEED? ED.-The New York Timm, of Thurs? day, soys: It seems that the attempt which j Congress made, through Mr. 31c- j Pherson, to establish a class of vio? lently radical newspaper in thc Southern States, will prove n failure, unless additional donations from the Treasury are promptly made. Neither ' tho whites nor tho blacks can bc induced to read these journals, und ? the special appropriation made to them, tinder tho idea of compensa- j tion fop publishing the laws of the i United .St.des, is found altogether inadequate to their necessities. Even j Huunicutt's paper tn Richmond, the New N?di?n, is iu its last stages. Hence we read iu tho Tribune, of yesterday, that "until Congress makes an additional appropriation for their support, as well as arrange? ments to pay their bills promptly, this class of journals will fail from necessity." Wo, in cominan with other groaning tax-payers, will watch with interest to see whether, and in what shape, Congress will make this "additional appropriation." -? ? ? ? SUFFRAGE CN NEW YORK.-The Tri? bune, of the 18th, says: The convention yesterday, by tho lecisive vote of 72 to 2M, defeated Mr. Murphy's amendment to tho majority report of the Suffrage Com? mittee, in which he retained the pre? sent property qualification of voters, and provided for a separate submis? sion of impartial suffrage to tho peu? ple. This is well done, and is the result of a week's debate, in which tho Democrats had full opportunity to produce all their arguments against the rights ai colored men, from the curs-! of Ham down to the latest microscopic analysis of wool. MEXICO AND THE FRENCH MINISTEN. The following occurs among the latest news from Mexico: All the foreign representatives, ex? cept the American Consul, are. pre? paring to leave. ? postscript to thc same letter, dated 9 p. m., says the affair iu regard to the French Minis? ter was not settled, us stated in the lotter. His passports wore peremp? torily refused, and he was told he could not depart from the country under any pretense. Tho authorities informed him (hat Mexico had an account to settle with Franco for the part ?ho took during intervention, and for tho lives and property de? stroyed daring that period; omi if the same is not properly and prompt? ly adjusted, the Mexican Government would proceed against the property of French subjects throughout the republic. TEUIUIUJK DISEASE ALONU TUE YA/.OO.-A terrible disease, similar to the eholora, has broken out among the freedmen on the plantations along the Yazoo Uiver and in the lower part of Carroll County, Mississippi It hus every appearance of cholera, but is confined entirely to the negro population. Eleven of tho loiter hud died within a few days ou one plan? tation, and lesser numbers on others, whilst many of tho negroes ore dan? gerously sick. TKXAS.-Tho Texas papers apeak of a general disposition among tho farmers of that Stato to letseu the quantity and improve tho quality of the laud they cultivate. This change is caused by tho scarcity of labor, which leads to improved cultivation and on increase of production from a given quantity of land. The im? provement in the system of cultiva? tion in Texas will ultimately extend to all ports of tho South. CUBS FOBNEUBALGIA.- The follow? ing is recommended os an almost infallible cure for that painful dis? ease, neuralgia: "Take a large tea? spoonful of cologne, two tablespoon? ful of fino salt, and mix them together io a small bottle; ovorytimo you have any neuto affection of the nerves or ' neuralgia, simply breathe the fumes in your nose from the bottle, and you will be immediately relieved."

Mr. Coburn introduced a bill to pr?vido for the election of electors for Pre sideut and Vioe-Prosident of the United States in tho States to bo formed out of the territory included within tho lato Confederate States, exoept Tennossoe.
