Doubtless most of the cotton held has been used as a rue* dium for mouey advances, yet this does not tske away from the fact that our farming prospects are im proving. We have known the time when oar fahnets were com|>elled to ship cotton as fast as they could pack it, aud after it was ail seut to the factors, the orv was still for more. So that this ability to bold cotton shows that, even if the far mer is in debt or has proenred loans on his cotton on band, the credit ot the country is improving. Labor seems to bo abaudant and works as well as is to be hoped for. The change in the lieu law gives much trouble but our people are making the best of it This change is in a measure an abolition of the law to that class who have lived in a baud to. mouth style, hut we do not hear that it has affected those who work bard and try to honestly pay their debts. Where provisions have to be bought, the low prices of all sta ple articles more than compensate for the low price of cottuu at cash prices, and owing to mercantile oompetition the ratio of time prices is greatly reduced. An Alabama reader of the News sends us au article ou Phosphates, taken from the Iron Age, Birming ham. If this phosphate of lime is as valuable an agricultural fertili zer as its chemical analysis promi ses for it, farmers not only in Ala bama, hut elsewhere, will reap the benefit in arednetion in price fol lowing increased production. We suggest to our Commissiouer of Agriculture, Col. Butler, to exam- fne into the matter aud give us ins opinion. It is amusing to read the attitude c f many of the county papers in the State on the subject of the State ceusus. They preach economy one month and the next they attempt, t j force an expense of 925,000 or $30,000 on the State, ostensibly to support the ooostitutiou, bat really in order that some political aspir ant may have a chance to go to the Legislature. not ended, nut just begun their national struggle.

This body is largely Republican aud evince a disposition to go a step beyond their duties and intrench on those of the President.

The rrierll) Law. (Cor. Abbeville frees »n I Usnner.) To show that we constituents are not ungrateful to our lawmakers for their efforts at rectitude, is the object of this piece. The present Legislature has im mortalized itself by the pure, high toned disinterested laws it has made, laws that, for impartiality and fairness to all classes, have not been excelled even by the Black Code. His Satanic Majesty n. ver conceived such ideasof fair dealing between man and man as these laws contain. The honesty of these laws, is wrapped in more plies and shields of protection and safety than were ever compiled in law be) fore, and is ns fur beyond compre hension as the East is from the West, hut still it is their grand in comprehensible and uncomeatahle. It can only be seen through the eyes of faith, and to see it clearly requires faith a little larger than a mustard seed. The Piiority Lieu Law caps the climax in honesty aud fairness to all parties concerned, of any thing ever achieved in legislation. It has more contrivances in fewer words to make people act honestly aud up rightly than any law on the Stat ute books, from Moses of Egypt to Moses ot South Carolina. It stands like a wind mill to catch every dis honest breeze that passes through the country to purify and utilize them. It removes every tempta tion to commit fraud, as it would be almost impossible to do so under it. A person has only to tell the plain truth about his contracts for labor and rents to sweep all.; This almost divine law makes a contract tor rent or labor as pure as virginity itselt and nut to be gazed on by the Immodest public. It is only to be brought iu to save the proceeds of the dishonest merchant. There can be no motive or induce ment to use false witnesses, or to make misstatements, as all that is necessary to n ake all things as straight as fish hooks, is to get yom witnesses all ready the day before settlement is made, and iu their presence make contracts for rent and labor, or either, to cover the value ot the entire crop, and you are safe. To make it all the more plausible, you could state, in their presence, tbbt you bad made this contract on the first day of January soon iu the morning, so there could be no (tossihle hope of getting Warwick.” From the ^.Augusta I ahead of >uu iu any particular.

He needs no monument, for his name and fame l»eloug to the im p< risbable history of his country. But the men an ong whom he mov ed, lived and won im mortality, the people whose cause he illustrated by his prowess aud vindicated by his noble Christian life and heroic death, the surviving soldiers of the army of Northern Virginia, should not go down to their graves without leaving some enduring memorial of their affection for him aud ot their admiration ol his splendid acht«,’e- ments and character. In this spirit the “Jackson Me morial Association,” condsttng ot the sr Idlers who served under and with Gen. Jackson in his Virginia campaigns, has been organiz 'd un der a charter granted by the State ot Virginia. The object of the As sociation is to enct at the grave of Jackson a monument ooinmemora tive ot their love and veneration for him. It is proposed that this monument shall in some degree be a fit memorial of the hero whose last resting p^aoc it will mark, and it i* expected that each soldier who followed him, ami that each man and woman who admired ami loved him will contribute to the monu mental fund. Gen. G. VV. O. Lee, president of the Association, has made au appeal to the countrymen of Jackson, aud particularly to the | noble men of the South whom he led in battle, to come to the assist- ance of the Association. The appeal cannot be in vain. It will go to the heart of every Southern man and woman, and it should meet a ready response from the sons and daughters of the sol diers of the Foutb, wherever they may be and w hatever their condi tion. It is confidently expected that the old soldiers of the South who followed Jackson in Virginia, who fought w th him at Chancel- iorsville, where he offered up his life upon the altar of his country, will make a liberal and ready re sponse to the appeal. The war ended long ago, but tne memory of the great soldier of the Valiev of Virginia has not yet faded, and can never be faded, while this people, for whom he fought and died, can recall the deeds ot valor and the purity of the life that made him one of the ablest generals and most courtly get tlemen ot modern times. Contributions to this fund may be sent to C M. Ftggat, treasurer of the Jackson Memorial Associa tion, at Lexington, Va. Be Han c4 to Teach MhtioL We have casually come into The thoughts of every Irishman iu America are turned with intense feeling to th< political aspect of the English Government. The late elec tions were exciting, following upon the defeat of the Gladstone govern ment in June last. At that time the UisU Home Rule vote went with the Tories. The new cabinet formed with the morquis of Salisbury as leader increased the hopes of the Home Rule party, but the elections being held, the Tories deserted their ail tea aud were in turn defeated by a oombluatiou of Home Balers and Liberals. The Salisbury cabinet have resigned, and Mr. Gladstone baa again been summoned by the Queen, aud either be or the marquis of Hartington will be called to the head of the cabinet. Mr. Parnell baa sbowu himself one of the fore most ot modern statesmen aud has already been called the “new career and ability: “la the overthrow of the aris tocratie English Ministry it will not do to forget, to steal a pungent poem of the day, “the power behind the thrown,” John Boyle O’Reilly, in the last North American Review, measures up Mr. Parnell, fresh from Oxford, with his cold Eng ish train ing, bis Yankee blood aud Irish traditionary feeling. A Protest ant, a landlord, an aristocrat aud a home rnler, be bes enlisted all creedsandclassea—bishops, feuiaus, farmers aud laborers. He has drawn together Irish sous aud sympathi zers iu all lands. Eighty six cut of 103 Irish members stand behind Mr. Parnell In Parliament, pledged to vote oa be leads. Another Grom • well mast sweep Ireland with fire or sword, or England mast grant borne rale. Mr. O’Beidy says: “The abominable aelfishness which would destroy Ireland for England’s sake, if now allowed to operate iu another conquest aud disfranchise ment, would assuredly destroy E a gland—and England it learning the great lesson. Ireland is saved -the twenty million Irish-blooded ins; by the five million Irish lesoeudauts in England, | ud Wales; by the vast iMriah sympathizers in New Zealand, Canada eooniriea. it would be elastic ns to fit any emergency, it is capable of making a virtue of every vice in the catalogue, so straight that its ends aud sides meet, so upright that it points in a I directions, it is so fair as to give all more than their rights. It is more universal than universality, it saves all. it purifies rottenness and re moves every evil taint, its beauties and perfections commend it to all fairminded people. Legislators that could coiistrnct such a bright-eyed jewel of honesty and fair play should hold their seats for life. There coukl not be found another set of men in the State, outside of the penitentiary, that have each a sense of what is right and proper, aud the next most be coming thing they can do is to pass an Act making tfffmselves life- members—I mean of the Legisla tare. By a lapau* penn(r t I was made to say penitentiary where I abould have said Legislature, so I crave the pardon of the gentlemen of either institution that may take offence at the mistake. Scrubbs.

When we consider the m my thou sand acres of worn out and in Ala bama and a joining States and the great need there is tor fertilizers, we can realihze one of the great ad vantages that will atcrue to our people from the utilization of the basic process tor mauiifacturiug iron and steel in Birmingham. When steel is maiiulaetured by the Bessemer process, only ores a 1 in st free from phophoroits can be used, as this process will nut elim inate a particle ot the phosphorous from the metal. But Jacob Reese, by his basic process is not onl.v able to take the phosphorus out of the steel, but he uses it as a calorific powder—he bur us it as so m eh fuel to purify the steel. Iu doiiii: this lie burns it phosphoric acid an.I then makes a phosphate of linfb out of it. Thus, the phosphorus which has been an injury b; the iron aud steel hi all past ages, is now by Mr Reese’s invention, made of more value tliaii the iron and steel with wliich it is associated. A gross ton of pig metal, having three per cent, of phosphorus in it, will produce 153 pounds of phos phoric acid, which is worth from five to teu cents |>er pound in Bir iniiigham, according to its quality, non-soluble, 5; revertlble, 7; solu ble It) cents. Now assuming that the phosphoric aotd be sold at the lowest figure, 153 pounds at 5 cents would lie worth 97.63, as the value of the phosphorous eliminated from a single ton of metal having three percent, of phosphorous. It will thus lx; seen that the basic process is not only efficient iu eliminating the phosphorous, but does it at a great profit and puts the phosphor ous into a rich fertilizing phosphate where it will do the most good. A single basic plant making 400 tons of steel per day will produce 25,000 tons of phosphate |ier an num worth $765,000. This calcula tion is made at 5 cents per pound for - phosphoric acid, and can be verified by consulting any |iersou w' o deals in phosphates, The mauufactire of 25,000 tons of so rich a phosphate annually in Birmiughaui would be a great boon to the State of Alabama, and will when projierly list'd make our State a fertile garden, prolific iu grain, fruit and vegetables to the joy aud profit ot our people. The Age ho|>es Mr. Reese may not only reap a rich h rvest of roy alties from his great invention, but may live to see the earth yielding large and abundant crops in thank- fuluess for the transfer of the phos phorous trom the iron to the cereals and other crops.

Our object iu w-riti ug thir. article is to cui recta very common error which is prevalent among the peo ple viz: That the titles to lauds sold by the Sheriff, Master and Probate Judge are necessarily pei- tect titles, because sold under order of Court. There is a Latin maxim of the law applicable to such sales, the meunii g of w bich is, iu English, “Let the |mrchaser beware.” I the first place officers of the Court merely give a “quit claim title,” without any warrautly what ever. In the next place, those officers only prop ses to sell the interest of the defendant iu tiie land, he that much or little. If the defendant is a married man, his wife or widow will have the right of doyver. If the laud is sold under fore closure ot mortgage aud if an older judgmeut should be of record, the sale under foreclosure may not give purchaser clear title. If taxes are unpaid th 1 purchaser may be liable for them. Iu a hundred ways a purchaser may pay very dearly for lauds which are sold by officers of the Court, even though the bid fo the same be low enough. Our own opinion is, that a pru dent, c. relul man will always iu- vestigate the titles to any lauds which be may choose to buy, no matter whether from a private in dividual or an officer of Court, but more especially when buying at forced sales. “Let the purchaser beware.” A small tee to a good lawyer before Saleday may save Assignee’s Sale THE LARGE AND DESIRABLE STOCK OF GOODS OF —ATTHE— DAIRIuIUSTCa-TOIINr STOHE AND ALSO AT THE COST IS NOW OFFERED FOR SALE AT FOR IN LOTS TO SUIT PURCHASERS.
