MR. 8HEPPERSON ON 001 TON. 1 Special to Charlotte Observer. Baltimore, Sept. 3.?Col. A1 ^s.fred B. Shepperson, the wel ^ known New York cotton statisti ciau, who haw spent severs weeks in Europe, visiting iinpor tant <*onters ot the cotton trad* in Germany, France and Bel ^4- gium writes as follows: "The cotton manufacturers o the countries named above havdone a tairlv active business dur ing the past season, but, takinj them as a whole, have made ver little money. Considerably mor cotton nas Deen spun into yarn than the previous season, bu ofteu at a verv small profit, am sometimes at a loss. The spin uers who bought freely during ' October, November ar.d Decern ber, when prices were or. tin basis of H to 4^ pence for mid dling uplands, have had a re remunerative season, while thos< who bought at prices ranging from 5^ pence to nearly 7 pence have made no profits, and those who sold their product ahead or the basis of lower-priced cot tor (as many did), have scored seri ons losses. As a result of tin high price of cotton many of tin continental mills have no work ed on lull time since early ii June, but 'short time' has no prevailed to anything like tin same extent a* in England, mos of the mills having run live t< five and one hall days in tin week, against lour days in man; of the British mills. Germai spinners are in far better shapi than a year ago, as the largi Blocks ol yarns and goods thei existing have been disposed ol and the depression resulting Iron 41 6uch a condition has been re moved. While their stocks c cotton are quite moderate, think^ .ey are larger than at thi time Iqsl \ear. Many of tli French stunners honndi! nnttui freely fti, (he early part of th season, and have done well Those who bought sparingly i the hope of still lower price have paid the penalty for thei conservatism. Some of th French spinners have cotton sul ficient for their requirements t the middle of October, whil others have practically no stock and are buying, as it. were, Iror 'hand to mouth.' My impressio: is that the slock of cotton hel ERjHjr * by the French spinners is le^ than a year ago. In Belgiut much the same conditions exit, as in France, but I think tli spinners hold about as much col ton as at this time last year. Th Freucu spinners have, on th average, done heller than liioh rf Germany and Belgium. Th spindle capacity of the thro countries differs l>ut little frci last year. In Italy there ha been an increase ot about 1 000 spindles, but there will be corresponding increase in th consumption of cotton. It ha boen (!.. custom in Italy for th mills to be regularly operated a night, there being operatives fn the night work in addition t those for the day time. A ne\ law will ?oon go into effect pre hibit >'iig the ni^nt WoiK, ana iiii has caused the erection of add) tional spindles to enable th mills f y 'I A 11 r% ro*v?n o rn on p < p work in the days which was for - merly done during the day and night. This explanation i3 made because an increase of spindles usually indicates larger business - and greater prosperity. In point 1 of fact, the Italian spinners have - been doing only a very moderate 1 business. "In consequence of the high 9 prices which have been ruling - in the United Staten considerable cotton has been shipped from f 'Europe to New York and New e Orleans since July 1st. Shipment8 have been made from K Liverpool, Havre, Bremen, Triesv to, and perhaps from other ports. e About 5,000 bales are now ou t s the way from Bremen, in pret vious years some cotton has been 1 sent from Europe to the United ( - States, but never to anything ? like the exteut of the shipments of this year. These shipments ? emphasize the artificiality of the - prices which have been ruling in the United States for several 5 months as a result of speculative I manipulation in New Orleans , and New York. The price ol > American cotton for many weeks 1 has borne no relation to the price of cotton yiuns and goods, in this connection i will ineni tion that European spinners have * used a great, deal ol Indian cot ton in place of American cotton, i and in some instances at a saving t ol I(i 11 v a cent a pound for sitnilar grades ol cotton. 1 ' Tin? high prices tor American cotton wiil stimulate tiie produc - tion ot cotton in every part ol / world where it can he grown to i advantage, and will surely in P duce more careful cultivation and preparation for the Indian crop.

GORDON'S TRIBUTE TO JACKSON. m & In Gen. John B. Gordon's account of the battle of SharpSburg in the June number of Scribner's Magazine is the followintr tribute to Lieutenant-Genoral Thomas Jonathan ("Stonewall" ) Jackson : Hut to return to the consideration of Gen. Jackson's character. Every right-uiinded citizen, as well as overy knightly soldier, whatever the color of his uniform, will appreciate the beauty of the tribute paid by Gen. Lee to Gen. Jackson, when he received the latter's message announcing the loss of his left arm. LlGo tell Gen. Jackson," said Lee, "thit his loss is small compared to mine; for while he loses his left arm, 1 lose the right arm of my army." No prouder or juster tribute was ever paid by a great commander to a soldier under him. But more important than anything 1 have yet. said of Jackson may be compassed, 1 think, in the observation that I10 added to a marvelous genius for war a character as a man and christian which was absolutely without blemish. His child-like trust and faith, the simplicity, the sincerity, and constancy of his unostentatious pietv did not come with the war, nor was it changed by the trials and dangers ot war. It the war alFected him at all in ihis particular, it only intensified his religious devotion, because of the tremendous responsibilities which it imposed ; but long be tore, his religious thought and word and example were leading to the higher life young men en trusted to his care, at the Vir ginia Military Insfifute. In the arniy nothing deterred or diverted him from the discharge of his religious duties, nor deprived him of the solace resulting from his unaffected trust. A Jeep-iooted belief in God, iu His .Word and Ills providence was under him and over him and through him, permeating every lihro ol his be ing,dominating his every thought, controlling his every action. Wherever he went and whatever lie diil, whether lie wan dispensing light and joy in the family circle; imparting lessons of lofty I thought to ins pupils in the school room at Lexington; planning masterful strategy in his tent ; praying in the woods lor Heaven's guidance ; or riding like the incarnate spirit of war through the storm oi battle, as his resistless legions swept, the field ol carnage with the fury ot a tornado?Stonewall Jackson was the faithful disci pie of his i)ivine Msister.

If God hath made of one blood the nations of the earth lie hath also established unto them the inetes and bounds of their habitation. He did not intend that antagonistic races should live together. The prejudice of race is a pointing of Providence and tho antagonism of peoples is the fixed policy by which God peoples the different portions of the universe and es- , tablishes tAe individuality of the ; nations. The act that brought ? these people together on this con tinent was a sin of the fathers, a sin of greed, an iniquity of trade ?and the sorrow and suffering 1 of the present is for the sin of the past, a sin against nature and a sin against God. The curse can be lifted only when nature is vindicated and God is obeyed. The problem will be solved only i when the negro is rctorod to 'the bounds of his partition.'
