Senator c West, of L.c"icizzz, iatroduGS?l fco-dav ? measure looking to the exemption from t doty of all bugging and iron ties used in y baling, cotton. This, he H ta ted, would ? be equivalent to a premium by the Go- ( ' vern mont of $1 por bale, and would, no doubt, stimulate the production of the staple. It'is a very important con?us-11 .sion, and the 'effort to obtain it,,friends | t 1 of the measure claim, should be warmly eeoonuod by tho planting and commer oiol interests of the cotton growing re- i p . ??h. 11 Thirty-two new small-pox oases since Saturday and seven deaths. NEW OMJBANS, December 12.-The 11 Picayune learns on reliable authority | o that Ohas. Morgan* takes a large interest in the New Orleans, Mobile and Texas o - Railroad. The roads to Sabine River t and to Shreveport from Vermiliionville n will be rapidly built ii Nsw YORK, Deoember 12.-Much ex- u Citement'prevailed in the cotton market this afternoon, ih consequence of the 0 .failure of several bouses and the rumored o iuaoLvenoy of many others. The small ? receipts of cotton last week, as oompared Q with the corresponding time last year, \ and fears of a short orop thereby engen- p dered, together with the rise of cotton 0 . in Ld vor pool, where the a apply is very scanty, has caused alarm for several days li psst among the short interests in mar- ij ket. This resulted in a sodden and ii marked advance in price, whioh seriously embarrassed those dealers who were a hampered by o?ntraots, and rendered c eOrne unable, to fulfill them. Three fail- 0 urea are officially annonnoed, namely, tl William P. Wright & Co., Adolphus O. 0 Sohaefier & Co., and J. Seayoraft. These fl failnros resulted from inability of the 0 parties to f alfill oontraots in consequence of andden fluctuations of the market, g Wright & Co. place ' their indebtedness _ at &?9.000, and aro roady to compound at! fifty cents on ?he dollar. They ex ; peet to settle their affairs ^and* continue ? business in a few days. Sohaefier & Oo. ft and Seayoraft have 'ailed for considera- c ble amounis, bnt: declare themselves nu- ? able to state tho. sum of their obliga- I tions. They give proofs of their ability I to' settle with their creditors and continue c business. Many rumors have been afloat I affecting the solvency of other firms, bot C no other failures have been officially an- I - nonnced. Some of the dealers reported \ to be in difficulty, confessed to serions embarrassment when questioned on the < subject, bnt expressed the belief that ( they would be able to "tide over." C The Associated' Bank meeting sus- I toined/the oommittee in expelling the ? , Ocean-Bank. The mooting was private, J but it has transpired that some ugly faots a were produced which discredit the asser- C tiona that tho Ocean Bank will pay in I full. The rumored sasper.aion of the d Union Square Bank is unfounded. I It is stated that the Police Commis- I stoners adhere to the determination to prevent the. International parade on Sunday, and the Governor ref ases to in? terfere. Madame Burns, abortionist, Las been sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. Naw YOKK, Deoember 13.-A Muta moras Special says a conference between Generals Palacios and Cortina and the .Government Treasurer, resulted in a call upon the marchants f>?r a loan of 1 800,000. The merchants refuged to sub? scribe. Cortina is supposed to be in league with the insurgents. Serious trouble is apprehended. General Pala? das is almost isolated. It is rumored that Tola bas pronounced for Diaz, willoh stops the only road open hence to the capital. General Quiroga has left Monterey for Mier, with a nnmbcr of cavalry, and may reaoh the latter place in the day. General Trevino will follow, with a portion of his army, and it is ex? pected he will try to reaoh this place. ST.

Monz?n, Mr. L. 8. FORD, of Charles^ ou, 8. O., and Miss FANNIE S., oldest laughter of the lato Dr. J. H. Whittelsoy, of jolumbuB, Qa. No cards. , * OBITUARY. u Died, on tho 10th of October, 1871, JOSEPH 3HARLE8 BRENNEN, of thia city, iu the ?ghteon'.h year of hi? ago. In the abovo briof annonnoement of tbe ooaing of tho ailvor chord that bound to this errestial sphere, with all its hopos, its anil? ities, its pleasures and its cares, a good and rorthy youth, in tho spring time ot his life, re hare a most vivid aud painful exemplifies ion of tho truth "that in tho midst of life, re are in (loath." But when we re il oct upon the oiroum itances uudor which this unexpected and erriblu hxrcavouicnl brought its poignant ;riof to tho hoart-etrlokon, widowed mother, he doting sisters, tho loviug brothers, and ho long-tried friends-when we aall to |mlna he manifold cxcolloucicB of him thus sud tenly called to his acconut-there is that rhich may touch the heart of the moat .alloua and unthinking, aud bring toara to ivos "albeit unused to the molting mood." L no subject of this notico was truly a young nan of promise-a model from whom dutiful ons, fund brothers, earnest and faithful rionds, may have copied with advantage. Howasbolovedbyt.il who know him; and von whilut in tho receipt of au education ac? orn" ant with hie mental acquirements, pon? ion in society and intollcctual a 'pirations, he bought not of eolf, but, actuated by tho do iro to contribute toward? the support of hOHO he loved, ho reuolvod to sacrifico hie ?wu hopes sud proupectu, and engaged in ursuits moro calculated tu bring immediate olief and comforts to hm widowed parent. Io first embarked in mercantile pursuits, ud subsequently apprenticed himself to a TH do, whereby he hopodjmore surely and ex editioualy to carry out hh noblo and un ulfish object. At carly morn, in the autumn f the year, hut in thc spring time of bia lifo, o departed from bia homo, on an innocent leasuro excursion, in company with hin carent and mont oateomedfriend. When the un rose, ho wont forth ou a hunting expedi iou. Ero night had cast its mantle o'er the arth, bia sun had set, and hin lifo was lost, tirough an accidont as torrible as unforeseen. 'Twero vain to attempt to describe the grief f tho friond from whom, in life, he was Itnottt inseparable; 'twere vain to strive to ortray tho agonv of tho heart-broken mo tior, the bereaved and grief-striokon sisters nd brothers; 'twere Tain to offer condolence nd consolation, aave that which springs from sligion and the conviction that he who waa D good, so unaelfiah, BO noble, pure and solf icriflcing, now reposes in happiness and oaco, "where thd weary are at rent." May od re?oive bis soul in tho realms of the leased, and may timo and religions resigna on bring a soothing balm to tho wounded pirita of the monrnere, that will assuage, if ot heal, tho acuteness of their sorrow.
