COLUMBIA, 8. ?. Thuralay fftarninjr, January 6. 1071. THB DKPBB8SI02? IN COTTON.-Tho re? duction in the price of cotton is a con? siderable draw-book to tbe advantages of on inoroased supply. There has been, however, a remarkable falling off recent? ly in the receipts, owing to unfavorable weather for pioking at the South. Cot? ton is now worth only about $60 per bale; last year it brought $110 to $120 per bale at this season of the year. So that, while oar receipts for the current year aro 250,000 bales in excess of last year, at a reduotion of from nine to ten cents por pound, the South will not realize by $30,000,000 aa much money. This must make a great differonce iu the financial strength of tho cotton-planting interests, as they agree in the- opinion that the present price does not cover the cost of production. This state-of affairs must necessarily restrict the far Southern trado considerably, as planters will bo forced to jrestriofr their purchase* to bare necessities. There euh be little doubt that the production bf cutten" this year will ^bo largely in eXOess t?f the world's demand, 03 we can soe no' evidence that Croat Britain will take ns much us she did last year, and wo arc almost certuiu ta'lose one-half of the export to tho cou tment. Mr. Wells, who hus given the mostr?oareful attention to this subject, abd'who has the-best and most reliable sources of information, 6nys: "Coming down to particulars, wo God that tho effect of the war npoii cotton and cotton moutifacturo has been to al? most entirely stop tho British export to two of the chief Europeuu markets of yarns and goods, the total annual export of which for tho last few years has been over 30,000,000 pounds of yarn and 105,000,000 yards of cloth. Tho export? ation of raw cotton also to tho continent of Europe from Liverpool and tho Ame? rican ports has greatly diminished, aud in placo of it a reverso movement has to soma extent taken plaoo, 180,000 bales of cotton in storo at Ilavro, France, for the use of French manufacturers, having been mainly ro-shipped to Liverpool. The diminished consumption of raw cut ton on the continent for tho your, in consequence of tho war, is vaiiously es? timated at from 300,000 to 500,000 huies. Under such circumstances, with an in? ?rense of product iu tho United States nod au average crop in India, tho price of raw cotton hus since mid-summer steadily tended downward, occasioniug to tho producers in thc United Slates a loss which is likely to far more than off? set any realized or prospective gains to tho couutry from any increased demand for broadstuffs and provisions." THE "SITUATION" IN FUANCE.-Guizot, tho veteran French statesman and histo *rian, has just published a pamphlet on the existing situation in Frauce. His well-kuowu identification with tho Fro testant Church aud the Orleans party there, gives additional weight to his utterances. He recognizes the trying circumstances under which tho existing Republican Government carno into power iu France, and congratulates them upon their courage und persever? ance, but demands that a national assembly shall bu convened at ouce, a-< tho only power which is competent to make peuce. As to parties who oppose tho existiug Republic, ho Kays that the legitimists, or friends of Count Cham bord, (Henry V.) who is tho Bourbnu representative, huvo two considerable and respectable forces-their principle itself aud their fidelity to that principle- | but these rue to-day only forces of oppo? sition and resistance, not forces of action. As to his own party, the Or? ganists, ho says: ''Those who are called Orleanisls uro not o party. The government of. Louis Fhillippo left behind it faithful friends, and, iu the country, some good recollec? tions, which have already become uud will oontinue to become dourer aud moro go n eral. It did uot, however, form or leave a party; one cannot apply that name to the mass of men of souse and order, essentially conservative and tranquilly liberal, who ask nothing of government but to maintain thc laws ut home and peace outside, and to give to tho different interests of tho nation, acoordiugly us they develop and iu the proportion of their rightful claims, the satisfaction that they ask. That is nota party, it is that immense, laborious, well-to-do population, not discontented with its lot, which has often been culled tho justa milieu, (tho happy medium,) and which hold so i m por taut a place in the life of France, whom it so efficiently serves both as bullast and as a sourco of progress." As for thc Napoleonists, experieuco has shown that their system hos al! thc evils of dft'.polism without nuy of its ^agujenbating benefits. BftiGit MURDEH -J essie Chisholm, Ownurderer of Logan Ferguson, is sus? pected of being in some way connected with the death of another mau, named Wm. Robinson, a resident of this city. A jury of inquest has bad tho matter under consideration, but on account of the abseuco of Cbisoltn, who is tho ooly person who can throw any light on thc circumstances of the mun's doatb, they have boen compelled to adjourn from day to day, in tue hope that Chisholm might bo captured.-Charleston Courier. DEATH OW GEN. Fane.-A telegram from Mariel .abndtlno?? tho death of Geo. Piim, oa Saturday ' night, from wounds received nt tho bauds of afeas* sina ou "Wednesday laat, while he wo s proceeding home in his carriage from the Cortes. This intelligence will be re? ceived with some surprise, inasmuch as tho despatches announcing tho assassina? tion and making subsequent reports of his condition gave assurauco that his wounds were not dangerous. Gen. Prim was undoubtedly the most famous, and perhaps the boldest, if not the best, man in Spain, whoso destinies throughout her crownless agony bo has directed with all the spirit, if not all the skill, of a states? man and soldier. He lived just long enough to realize the consummation of his plans. How soon that consumma? tion mny prove Inbor lost, now that the band that wrought tho work is still in death, remains to bo seou. - THC HOMICIDE IN EDOBFIELD-Ooit UECTION.-It was Capt. George O. But? ler who wns killed in EdgeQeld, by "Mr. Winslow Hamilton. Capt. O. N. Butler passed through Columbia, yesterday, in charge of tho remains of his bro her for in tennent in -Greenville. The Au? gusta Constitutionalist has the following particulars of thc sad afluir: "On Sunday evening last, about twelve miles from Hamburg, on Steven's Creek, Capt. George Butler, brother of Gen. M. C. Butler, was shot and instantly killed by a young mau named Winslow Hamilton. Prom the most authentic accounts wo have heard of tho sad nffiir, it seems that Mr. T. J. Hamilton, the father of the young man who fired the fatal shot, was ou the ove of removing to Columbia County, in this State, and iu preparation therefor hud penued bis cat? tle ready to be driven. Among the num? ber seems to have been ono steer or calf j to which Capt. Butler laid claim, which j he requested Mr. H.malton to liberale, and, as we are informed, visited the house of tho latter to secure. While lhere an angry discussion sprung np be? tween them, which eventuated in young Hamilton gathering his gun and firing upon Capt. Butler, the charge laking effect ill las breast and causing immedi? ate death. " CAP?UUEO Pitoi'EltTY.-Among the odds aud-end.s iii tho Treasury vaults at Washington-a curious collection of balf forgotteu presents, special deposits and counterfeit currency-thor-; is a package described thus: "Ono envelope, coulainiug bonds is- I sued by the Slate of Soul li Carolina, on account of t he Blue Ridge Railroad, de? posited by the Secretary of the Treasury, January G. 1SGS; bonds Nos. 812, 821, 830, 837, four bonds, 61,000 each; twou ty-nix coupons, i?3ij each, on each bond. These bon ls were forwarded In the Se? cretary in April, 18GG, by Supervising Special Agent David Heaton, as rap? tured property turned over to bim by fi provost maishul." It should be easy for the owner to identify these bonds, und prove Ins title to them. Thc experiment is worth try tug. THE STATE Sunvivoiis' ASSOCIATION. We have received a printed copy of Hie proceedings el* tho Hist und second an? una! meetings of tho Stute Survivors' Association, together with the eloquent address of Gen. John S. Proston, de? livered before the Association in Colina bia, in November lust. Tho object and purposes of the Associai ion are fully sot i forth in theso proceeding.-;, und to all who ure ignorant of the part which South Carolina played in the great struggle, we coiumeud the able und convincing report of tho Executive Board, which shows, among other thiugs, that this State gase to tho Confederate cause ut least, one sol? dier for every vote cast for secession. The Executive Board, with the assist? ance of Prof. Hivers, have compiled a roll of tho mimes of 10,000 South Caro? linians who died iu service during thc war between the States. There ia, be? sides, a supplementary roll of 2,000 names collected from sources less authen? tic. These rolls the Survivors' Associa? tion now propose to publish by subscrip? tion; and if 1,000 subscribers at So can bu obtained, this great memorial of our dead, uud valuable historical work for the Slate, will be secured. Tho plan is to publish two editions; the first with a preface inviting corrections und addi? tions lo bo submitted to tho Executive Board by thc friends of thoso who foll; tho second, with tho additions and cor? rections tims made, iu a better and moro permanent form. A subscription of $?5 entitles the subscriber to a copy of both editions. The manuscript is ready for the printer, and tho Board are about to eanvasn for subscriptions. There is not a fu mi ly iii South Carolina which will not lind thc name of a friend, a relative, or a brother iu-nrms upon thc roll of this legion of houor of tho South Carolina dead, and we canuot doubt that tho Sur? vivors' Association will speedily obtain far more than tho minimini number of I subscribers required for perpetuating the memory and fame of those who poured out their blood for their Stute and tho suuuy South. - Charleston frews. MUHDER IN ST. ANDIIKVV'S PARISH. The body of u colored mun was disco? vered on Sunday afternoon, lying in a ditch, he?ido the Savannah and Charles? ton Railroad, a few milos from this city.

Mr. Sabine, of New York, in refusing to preach the funeral sermon of the veteran actor, George Uollaud, is universally condemned, and he is placed on a pur with tho Boston fanatic who poured out his furious iuvectivo against tho dead author Charles Dickens. Jef? ferson, tho nctor, it seems, approached this Mr. Sabine with Hie request that he officiate at thc funeral, but was haughtily refused, and Mr. J. was referred to the minister who preached in "the little church around thc corner," und who. ho said, would undoubtedly preach the fu? neral sermon. "All honor to the tiltia church around tho corner," replied Jef? ferson, and 6o nay all right-thinking Christians, without reference to persua? sion. As IMPOSTE?
