In its last issue it ! says: The cotton growers are reported to be in trouble owing to the superabundance of their crop*. We suspect this is a trouble that will be much easier to bear than a great defi iencj^ As an illustra tion take for instanceWhe grain famine in Russia, and th? sufferings this is in flicting upon the poor peasants. Sup pose the cotton crcp had failed in the American States as completely as the grain crop in Russia, what would have been the plight of the growers? We venture to say? a great deal worse than it is at present. Suppose that the cot ton crop and that of last year had been *ach a million bales less than they have been, whilst the same outlay had been made upon theui. Take it that the pres ent decline will represent an "average drop through the two seasons of 20 per cent.? it will certainly not be more? they have had a gain in the p:oduction of 23 per cent, which wjH have left thein a handsome profit. VFhere then is the necessity for the agricultural com missioners of the cotton States to have adopted a joint appeal to the those con cerned to rsduce the cotton acreags by 20 per cent., as v;e learn from Memphis that they have just done? Of course this appeal corresponds to appeals made to spinners and manufacturers in Lanca shire in timc3 of pressure, but is quite destitute of the like justification; and we don't expect ib will be any more success ful; therefore. :thetra^e on this side need not run down jto Liverpool to volunteer L*^d. per pounr. |inore for the raw material they may require We hardly think the motives or facilities for combination among cotton growers cxceed those to be found oa Akis .side, one that a more sue* cessfuf result will attend this appeal. j | ?

Pennington, the inventor <xf the fa mous air ship that beers his name, is io (he city, For the past nine years he has been engaged in stiidving the problem of aerial navigation, and is confident that he has t olved it. Mr. Pennington said ; bat a company comprising tome of the wealthiest! and most progressive citizens or Chicago had beein organized w ith a paid-up capital of $80, 000,000 to build be air ships. j 4 "We/aw/engj-ged io constructing sev c-taL*i!?Uptaes," ht said, 4 'at our works t MountCarmsl, 111., and e'er long will ?roceepKto manufacture a , ship with Jhi^htocross the Atlantic and capable of carrying fifty passengers.

It is as light afwater, or nearly so. A sheet of metal will float, though a solid chunk will sink. The botiyancy chamber, car, ^propeller, engine, and entire machine will be made of aluminium." Mr. Pennington's machine will fiy against the wind, and thereby solves a problem that has hitherto baffled all in ventors. The entire scientific world has become interested in his experiments, and he ban had correspondence^ wilh several leading Europ^&a Governments about his air ship. He says ithat Maxim, the fa mous inventor of improved guns, .is at work on a flying machine, in which he is essaying to imitate nature, taking a bird as a model. Mr. Pennington thinks that Maxim will succeed to a limited extent only, though he does not doubt his abili ty to produce a machine that will navi gate the air. So far from injuring the business of railroads, Mr. Pennington ii sure they will be called on Jlo do more traffic than ever. The telegraph did not cause people to cease writingjetters. He contends that his air ship willtrt indefi nitely safer from accidenta*$han the rail road or steamship locomotion, ? j will be greatly cheapened, peeing that no roadbed will have to be kept up and no wear and tear of machinery.
