[Interview in the Button Hrnlct] , - After speaking of hia expeileuces in Pierce’s Cabinet and the Mexican war, Mr. Davis was led to express himself upon the late rebellion, saying : “It is generally believed in the North that I AH1 bhlefly 'responsible for that great calamity. I was but one of a vast body of the Houth, and no more responsible than thousands of others. The war would have taken place without me as Inevitably as It did with me. It was one of those things which ’was sure to come in the progress of events and in solving great problems of government upon this continent.” He conceded expressly that the abolition of slavery would prove an ultimate good to tbe country; that It was a manifest ad vantage to£8e white race, for it would lead to the development of the South and multiply her manufacturing and mechanical industries. From advan tages of climate alone, the future of the South is more promising than-that of any other section of the country, but the condition of the present genera tion of the black race is all the worse by reason of the abolition of slavery, Mr. Davis doubts very much the wisdom of an attempt to educate the negro, and utterly disbelieves In giv ing him the ballot. It was his opinion that wherever the negro race was found it must be as an inferior and servile race, and In the long run would give way to the super! r race under any and all circumstances. Mr. Davis acknowledged, however, that ho had changed his mind entirely upon one question, namely, that tbe great sta ples of the South—cotton and sugar— could be produced with greater econo my and In greater abundance by paid labor than by the labor of slaves. This has already been demonstrated, and that fact alone goes far to prove the advantage which the abolition of slav ery has been to the whites. Referring to the political status of the negro, Mr. Davis said the freed- men bad naturally been misled by pol iticians, thinking that Northern men were their truest frisnds, but of late years they seemed to have reached the opposite conclusion, and in tbe long run it would be found that the negro, having but little real self-de- pendenoe, would Tots In accordance with the wlsbea and sentiments of those who employed him. For this reason the negro vote would be a less Important factor In the politics of the future than Northern men supposed. Referring ty the oft reiterated charges of coercion and bull-dozing of negro votes, he Said that he had no doubt there were Individual instances of eru> elty and coercion on the part of law less men in some sections, but he be lieved the prevailing sentiment among Southern men was one of greatest kindness and good-will toward their former slaves. Speaking of national affaire, be said b» accepted the situa tion as decided by arbitrament of the sword, and that he was very hopeful of tbe future ol the country. He did not believe there was any existing cause for sectional estrangement or that there could be afly hereafter. One of tbe resuite of tbe war already apparent was that tbe South was less dependent upon the North than here tofore ; for, while she could supply great staple* as befof*, her people bad begun to produce a greater variety of crops for their own use than ever be fore,- and they would ereotoally com pete with other seettyms In manufac tures and mecbaokal aria. In this connection he remarked that while tbe Sooth Was destltot# Of monsy and tbe value of real estate tras graatty de pressed, In a very shoft time the price of landed property weald advance be cause cf Its intrinsie talus In tbe pto- duotioo of staple artistes of commerce. He remarked that tbe only disturbing elements to be discerned new were the efforts of extremists upon both sides to keep alivs animosities and hatreds of the past. If Congress would pur sue a moderate course and attend to Its legitimate duties of general legisla tion for, tbe good of the whole country, the great social and Industrial ques tions which were bow a source of so much Contention would settle them selves, and the country would be at peace. In conclusion he said; “ You may assure your people that I have no un kindness in my heart to them or any. CT the people of the North. I am not fhe devil they have painted me. I have neither horns nor hoof*, and If they knew me they would And I am very much like one of tbemselvee.” latervlewla'w Klierman. AX ASTONISHED RETOKTBB AND OUSTED YOUNG LADY. A DI8- [Cuicinuati Eiiqulrcr.J A representative of the Enquirer en tered tbe office of the Grand Hotel yesterday evening just as a handsome carriage stopped in front of the en trance. Tbe Enquirer flfaibast*ador was on bis way to Interview Gen. Sherman, who was quartered at the hotel. The carriage contained a young lady who had come to invite the General to at tend a soiree at her mother’s resi dence. The footman from the carriage brought in the young ladyV Invitation, handed It to the clerk, and it was sent up to the General’s room, No 128, on tfle sums tray with tbe gilt-edged carA bearing the honored name of the En quire man. Thera was an Interval of awful suspensb on tbe part of the scribe, while tbe footrawo, with bis brass buttons and white gloves, shared a worse fate. 'J wo or three bell boys inquired of a third, in a tone Intended for the footmen’s ear, while tbe^nod- ed toward that person “If dat individual wld the brass buttons, spike tailed coat, and distin guished air, wasn’t Gen. Sherman, de honored guest of de hotel ?” The footman shook his fist at them, but the demonstration only brought forth these complimentary observa tions : “ Dat mnn’d rather light than eat” "Jeet as full o’ wa’ as when he marched down to de sea.” ” Ba-d man to fool wld; comes of ba-d family—jee’ look at him, John I” But this Is mere); a side issue., The boy returned with two cards from Gen. Sherman. They were hand ed to the clerk, who passed them over —one to the reporter, the other to the footman, while be gave the paste dia mond In his shirt front another twirl. The reporter read tbe card that had been banded to him, while hia hair stood on end, as follows ; Regret exceedingly that I can’t come. Give my love to your inothef/ and assure her that I have not forgot ten old times. Hope the soiree will be a success, as I’m sure It will be. Par don the witiclem when! say that yours truly Is very soiree he can’t be pres ent. W. T. 8. “ To Miss Blanche Blank.” Great drops of perspiration stood on the reporter's massive brow as they dropped from bis intellectual nose. Just as he realized that there was a mistake, a wild shriek came from the carriage at the side walk, and the lady who had received tbe other message fell fainting on the back seat, while tbe coachman whipped off in the di rection of a drug store. Ae the car riage whirled away, a card bearing the following rude inscription dropped from the lady’s nerveless hand and fluttered to the ground ; ^ “ Go to h—111 What do I care about the army, the Chinese bill, the coole* trade, the Presidential question, or any other d—d question l Never beard of a man named Tllden, and don’t want to, but regard him as a horse thief of the deepest dye. Again 1 eay, as I said in the beginning, go there your- •elf.” W. T. S. When the card was re^d aloud to the crowd th«j knit their brows and threatened to tear the Grand Hotel down over tbs head of the miscreant who sent It, even if he was at tbe head of tbe army. The Galveston News says that the frontier of Texas has advanced one hundred miles In the last two years, sod an area of 40,000,000 of acres of land has been reclaimed from tbe wil derness.

NtW Yobk., April 5,—W# have the pleasure to submit for your informa- tiou the comparative position of cotton at this date. In our last circular letter, of the 8th of March, we Invited your attention to the low prices then ruling, and 1 expressed the opinion that a de cided advance was not Improbable. Since that date middling uplands In New York have advanoed one and < b roe-eight bs of a cent, and contraots for June, July and August more than one and a half cent per pound. Tbe upward movement has been character ized by very large tranauotions and a degree of confidence and buoyancy rarely ever witnessed In the New York Cotton Exchange. From the highest price*, under large scales to realizt profits, the market boa reacted about thirty points.

This deficiency will no doubt continue to Increase os the sea son advances, and by September let, without material reduction in con sumption, the total visible supply of cotton in tbe world will probably not exceed 400,000 to 500,000 bales, as com pared with 1,138,000 last year, and 1,829,456, the average stock of old cot ton on the 1st September during tbe past eight yaarsX This great deficiency Is the result of tbe yearly increasing consumption of the world and tbe great decrease in tbe production of other cotton raising countries that can neither compete in price or quality with ue, notably India, whose exports have fallen off as fol lows: 1875. 1870. 1877. 1878. 1878. 11.12 11.17 10 9.1 10.78 10 62 10.62 1877. 12 10 12.27 12.i8 li.87 11.77 1177 1878. 1,650,561 1.234,861 909,487 889,559 tIo.oS'. It Is apparent that the world’s sup ply must be derived almost wholly from the United States and when this large deficiency now existing is consid ered, coupled with the fact that a 5.000,000 bale crop has hitherto proved to be the maximum of American pro duction, even under the most favora ble conditions, the quantity Is alto gether Insufficient. An adequate sup ply for another year now being a mat ter of serious consideration, the pro gress of tbe new crop will be viewed with much concern, and should a re duction result from adverse ocour- rencee a great-advance in prices would certainly follow. Until an abundant new crop Is ready for market wo know of no good reason for material decline; on tbe contrary, there exist more ele ments of strength to-dsy than for sev eral years past.

Upon twenty-seven of these be bases bis h6pe of his ■nedess. Of the origi nal number several hate been killed. In January three of them came so very near choking to death tbaT the farmer grew frightened, and slaughtered them. They weighed 798, 817 and 738 pounds respectively. The bogs entered for the prize have bad the very best of cars. There are just two event* In tbe *lves Of snob begs—sleeping and eat ing. They are too fat even to waddle. They never wake up except to eat, and that process over, they again stretch out oh clean straw in theff separate pent. These particular hogs of Mr. Garter’s were even too lazy to feed themselves, and, Indeed, even If they were not, they 6ohId not see their food. For weeks they had been la to tal blindness. Like the average bog of no partioular distinction, they all bad eyes, but three inches of genuine fat kept them dosed completely. 1 be feeding process is one of interest to both hog and spectator. Tbe farm* hand rolls hp boiled meal Into ball*'/ aul forces It Into their hogshlp’s * mouths. The hoge grunt and swallow '5 and keep It up until they are perfectly gorged.

These were ly ing aronnd, grunting ahd' puffing, and with snouts pointing upward In search' of alf. Their Cyes could not be seen and it took strong flngsrs to pry away the masses of fat so that the hidden organs of sight could be opened out. The blind, helpless masses were shak en by loud breathing, and occasionally would give vent to a snort, but they seemed entirely unable to get upon their feet. : • • The night previous to tbe battle New Orleans; Gen.
