The Home and Foreign Markets for Agri.
cultural Produce.
Dr. Wrtl.ram Erman has recently writ
'ten a pamphlet, entitled "How the Western
`fitatee can become the Imperial Power in
- the Union," which abounds in useful eta
listical information, and in valuable Mut,-
lrations of the commerce and industrial
interests of our country. Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Wisconsin,
lowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas, and
the Territory of Nebraska, are classified
under the general head of " Western
States." In ISSO they contained a very
considerable share, indeed, of the popu
lation and wealth of the whole Union.
As they are more exclusively devoted to
agriculture than the Eastern and Northern
States, they produced $1,159,605,660, or
nearly forty per cent of the total agricul
tural produce of the country, exclusive
of cotton, rice, cane sugar, and mo
lasses, and they yielded more than half
of the wheat, corn, wine, and hemp.
This left them a product of $900,000,000
after the deductions necessary for use in
raising new crops, for their immediate
consumption, and for market in the other
states and foreign countries. The total
exports of the United States in that year,
Of the articles enumerated, was but $Ol,-
891,042, of which the Western States pro
bably sent little more than their proper
tion of the products-40 per cent., or
s24,Boo,ooll—thus leaving them $875,-
200,000 for consumption at home and in
other States, and a demand abroad for only
2 per cent. of their available products.
The insignificance of the usual foreign mar
ket is thus pointedly exhibited. The extent
Of the " home market " on the other hand,
is indicated thus : Total product of all the
Union, $2,918,617,192 ; total disposable
- value, $2,169,431,833 ; total exports, $62,-
000,000,000 ; balance for domestic consump
tion, $2,107,431,833. The proportion of
this consumption in the West, which repre-
Sento a third of the Union, would be $684,-
915,845, leaving them a surplus demanding
a market in the other States of $100,284,-
055, or more than seven and a half
times the value of their exports to all for
eign countries. The average consumption
lathe United States is five bushels of wheat,
or one barrel of flour per head per annum.
New York and New England, in 1860, re
quired twenty six millions of bushels in
addition to their production to make up
their consumption, and there was a large
demand in the Southwest.
Of our exports of Western produce but
one-half went to the countries in Europe
from. which we import manufactured
goods. It Is calculated that 188,837 emi
grants would consume as large a quantity
of Western produce as all Europe takes
front our Western States.
Classifying the nations to which we ex
port the products of Western agriculture
as "manufacturing countries," (meaning
thereby the British and French dominions
in Europe, Hamburg, Bremen, and all
German countries, and Holland and Bel
gium,) and as " all other countries," a
term that embraces those nations in the
Eastern hemisphere and in America which
supply us with tropical or semi-tropical
and ether raw products—the relative value
of these two markets for our exports of
1859-60 is thus shown.

We exported raw cotton to the value of
$100,000,000 to the countries designated as
manufacturing, and sent six-tenths of the
rice we exported to South America and the
West Indies.
In return, we received as imports from
the manufacturing countries $208,707,314,
or L 7.06 per cent., and $153,458,940, or
42.04 per cent., from n ali - - • "
we uerived such articles as
sugar, molasses, cocoa, tea, coffee, mahoga
ny, hides, guano, medicine, etc. From the
former we obtained manufactures that com
pete with our own incluetry, such as woollen,
cotton, hemp, iron, and steel, silk and flax
manufactures to the value of $124,250,000,
and a great variety of other articles.
Our trade with "all other countries" is
'evidently that which is most valuable and
indispensable to us. It furnishes products
which supply national deficiencies here,
and affords a sure market for our products
and our manufactures.
The pamphlet proceeds to demonstrate
the importance of the development of ma
nufacturing interests to farmers, on account
of the value of the home market they af
ford, and gives interesting proofs of their
rapid growth in the West ; in the interval
from 1850 to 1860, the increased product of
eleven Western States being 106.2 per cent.,
and in the New England and Middle States
only 62.7 per cent. Other illustrations are
presented of the advancement of manufac
turing and mining interests in the Mississip
pi valley; and one of the conclusions reached
is that its enterprising citizens "must,
sooner or later, and the sooner the better,
take care to diversify their industries, and
provide a home market for their abounding
agriculture, or they will expose themselves
to those fluctuations of prices and of de
mand, which have more than once driven
them to burning their corn for fuel, for
want of abetter-paying market," inasmuch
as " the European market for their surplus
breadetuffn and provisions is simply con
temptible at beet, and at all times uncer
tain." The " extension of the Monroe
doctrine to the commerce of the continent"
is, therefore, advocated as a measure which
ill give us the industrial supremacy that
England covets, and ensure prosperity to
-all our interests.
We have given here only a very meagre
outline of the many important facts and
theories with which this valuable pamphlet
abounds.
The Route of the Pacific Railway:
The travel and transportation upon the line
of the contemplated Pacific Railway are of
that extensive and continuous character
which indicate at once the necessity of this
great national highway, and the probability
thatit will receive a liberal and remunerative
:support. Stages and teams arc now plying
between - Kansas and California, in the same
•way that they crowded the road between
Philadelphia and Pittsburg before our
" main line" was constructed. A stage
coach starts daily from Atchison, Kansas,
going west, and another from Folsom,
California, coming east. This trip, of
more than two thousand miles, has in one
instance been made in twelve days and two
hours, and it usually consumes only about
twenty days and nights of continuous
- travel. Notwithstanding the fears excited
by Indian massacres and devastations, three
hundred wagons per day are passing Fort
Kearny, each being drawn by froin two to
twelve oxen, mules, or horses, and carrying
from one to four tOrtB of machinery, goods,
or provisions.
This incessant activity is a sure indication
of the existence of strong incentives to
Western emigration, and a forerunner of
the mighty movement to the plains and
'mines that will follow the construction of
'the international highway that will, at no
'distant day, link together Ran Francisco
rand Philadelphia. Those who are seeking
new fields for labor, capital, or enterprise,
will find in this vast region many tempt
- Mg opportunities; and those who delight
in new proofs of national wealth may re
gard the central belt between the Mails
sippi and the Pacific, comprising Missouri,
Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and Cali
fornia, as a district which, above all others,
Will be marked during the next decade
With a marvellous increase of wealth and
population. This seems marked alike by
nature and by art, by its mineral riches, its
favoring climate, and the efforts already
made to render it an established thorough
fare, as the route over which "'the star of
Empire , is to wend its westward way.
And its development and cultivation will
at once afford lucrative employment to
millions of our countrymen, give addi
tional guarantees of the security and per
manence of the Union, and enhance the
national power and resources even more
rapidly than they were increased by the
wonderful growth of Illinois, lowa, Wis
consin, and California.
The Coming Fourth of
The recommendation of Governor CDR-
Trx that special pains should be taken to
observe and celebrate the coming Fourth of
July, has been adopted by the Governori of
a number of other States. We see that
even a few Southern journals recommend
its careful observance in the South, because
it commemorates an event in which all
Americana can sincerely rejoice. There is
yet another reason why unusual honors
should be paid to the approaching Anni
versary of National Independence. It is
the first occasion on which, is spirit
and in truth, in the North and in the
South, and all over the laud, we can give
a cordial and unreserved endorsement to
the doctrines of the great charter of Ame
rican freedom. For the first time can we
proclaim our approval of the declaration
that "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi
ness" are " inalienable rights of man,"
without reference to race or color. For
the first time can we exhibit a national
record not in direct conflict with the title
by which we claimed a place among the
nations of the earth. Custom, constitu
tional obligations, and our peculiar system
of government, deadened our perceptions
and lulled our consciences, but a still, small
voice has ever and anon convicted us of hy
pocrisy and injustice, and a gross violation
of the golden rule, "Do ye unto others as
ye would that others should do unto you."
The "glittering generalities" of the De
oaration of Independence could never
be made to harmonize with a system of
slavery. They were based upon a broad
and sweeping assertion of the rights of
man, which no casuistry could explain
away and no sophistry reconcile with the
practice of treating the colored race as
chattels, and robbing them of all the rights
and privileges which dignify life and ele
vate humanity.
Saturday and Sunday Crime in New
Thejournalista of NeW Yorl, now that their apace
is note° completely overridden by national affairs,
have the means of turning their attention to the
crime in their midst, which, to tell the truth, is the
only thingin that city positively in accordance with
the metropolitan standing they arrogate for it. We
do not so much speak of its foulness as of its quanti
ty, which goes far to prove the Immense amount of
immorality. which must be reeking below that
which cornea to light. For Instance, on yester
day morning twenty-seven cases of criminally were
chronicled in the daily papers as having occurred on
the previous Saturday and Sunday. Of these there
was one attempt at rape, one burglary, four felonious
or brutal assaults, one garroting case, live or sly
robberies, a laroany In a disreputable house, three
or four other larcenies, a fatal shooting occurrence,
with some ten other offences of minor degree. This
10, as it etrikea 00. a tolerably fall list of iniquity,
and one which may g 6 far to place the purity of
New York on a fair par with that of London or Pa
ris ; called as they recently were by an eminent
English writer, the Sodom and Gomorrah of the
civilized world.
The French yit Mexico.
The London Times, which has recently come to
hand, publishes a rather lengthy article on the
present position of the Emperor Napoleon In
Mexico. It is evidently Inspired by a due re•
Cognition of the change in the posture of matters
On 111)3 continent, and tants to the Emperor, very
quietly and significantly, that Ills position is not
entirely " free from danger :"
...11 must be confessed that If we examine the
French intervention in Menton apart from that con
fidence in the ruler of France to which N. Router
wisely appeals, the prospect is Sullicientty . un
premishog. When the Government of her Majesty
first joined with the Emperor and the Queen
of Spain, in an attempt to obtain a redress of
grievances from the Mexican Government, every
body was amazed at the undertaking. Lord Russell
deserves credit for having speedily retreated (rum a
position so plainly untenable;
and the Spanish
Government quickly followed his example, The
Emperor, however, persevered ; but the result
cannot yet be called satisfactory. France has spent
sixteen millions in recovering less than one. It is
true that the Emperor Maximilian has been chosen
by Universal Suffrage, and that he has agreed to pay
an annual sum of a million by way of indemnity.
The plebiscite establishing the empire was voted
with wonderful unanimity, but, as NI. Fevre hap
pily says, 'There is something In the tempera
ment, the courage, the habits, and the dash of a
French soldier that wins the heart of the popu
lations.' The presence of the same soldier is
found necessary to Insure the performance o
agreement, a 8 it was ex the

~fept in Mexico at the cost of a supplementary
credit of £1,350,000. Even, then, indeed, it is by no
means certain that the million will be punctually
paid. The Mexican Budgets, according to M.
Thiers, show an income of £3,200.000, and an ex•
penditure of £7/00,000 ; but, without relying on
this extreme statement , the terms on which the last
Mexican loan. was railed Show the credit of the new
Empire. The total amount received by the Meal-
Can Government was little over Mx millions, for
which it has bound itself to repay a capital sum of
£16,680,000, besides an onerous interest in the mean
while. The loan was negotiated by M. Fould, and
in defiance of the French law against lotteries it was
floated by the aid of a gigantic lottery. The Vice
President of the Connell of State confesses the in
fraction of the law, but excuses it on the score that
leans by way of lottery are common among the Ger
man (mints. But with all the aid of high interest
and exceptional advantages the new stock has de
clined In price, and the Minister of Finance has In
his portfolio bonds of the Mexican Empire to the ex
tent Of .£2,160,000, Which reckons as part of hie reve
nue, but which he cannot venture to throw upon the
market. In spite of the wealth of Mexican mineS
and the resources of the country, the capitalists of
Europe are resolute in their distrust of an Empire
which rests npen foreign bayonets.

leen can be greater than that involved in the fact
that his subjects are willing to trust him in the con
duct of a policy against the prudence of which every
one of them singly rebels. The maintenance of the
Latin race In Central America as a cheek to the
encroaching Anglo. Saxon is a grand idea, but it
does not seem to be successful even when the Anglo-
Saxon is too busy to interfere with. it. The Emperor
has bad it all his own way In Mexico, and what has
been the remelt I Be has placed an Austrian Prince
on a Transatlantic throne, and has given him a
Papal difficulty, the Solution of which is as obscure
as the reconciliation of the Convention with the
maintenance of the temporal power of the Pope.
He has made the Emperor Maximilian lord Of a
bankrupt exchequer, the demands on which are
great and the supplies limited. The new po
tentate is maintained in power by a foreign
army, which is continually engaged in putting
down insurgents who are dispersed in one plane
only to reappear in another. And there is now a
prospect of a new difficulty in the recovered leisure of
the neighbor whose restless activity was a principa
mon* for the establishment of the Mexican Empire.
It Is not surprising that all the intellect of France
should chafe at a situation which is absolutely in,
glariaux, and is not free from danger. Every one IS
realm and uneasy, and kola to the supreme head
of affairs in hope that some effort will be made to
retire from a position so unpromising while it is yet
possible. The Emperor Napoleon must himself be
conscious of the deep distrust with which his faith
ful subjects watch the, issue of the Mexioan inter
vention, and would perhaps be not unwilling on
his own account to consult their wishes, If at the
same time he could preserve his honor undimmed.
But the necessary correlative or unchecked power
is undivided responsibility, and the resolute brain
which first conceived the possibility of establishing
a dependent empire in the West, must devise for
Atoll the means of escaping from the oonsequenocs
of its own errors
Removal of iteatrictions on Cotton Sales
in Wilmington, li. C.
The Government has made another exhibition of
its generosity and kindly spirit towards the Souch.
Yesterday morning, the purchasing agent of the
Treasury Department at this place, Mr. U. E. Ma
Ingston, received Instructions to suspend his opera
- .ions. It is understood that like instruCtiona were
transmitted to ail tile purchasing agents Zr, the
South, and that it IS the design of tile Government
to remove the only remaining restriction upon the
free maim and sale of Southern products—that
which requires twenty-five per cent, of all cotton
sold to be delivered to the Treasury agent. Al
though full instructions have not yet been received
here, it is probably the design of the riever.-.0. 1 .

the producer's tax. This is three cents per
pound, payable at the first point of shipment.
Thhi action, while it 15 generous on the part
of the Government In that It limply cam from
the South an equal proportion or the revenue
of the country, Is also wise. It leaves a little mar
gin of money in the hands of the cotton-grower,
and therefore offers to him an inducement to bring
his staple to market ; whereas, before he had no
such Inducement, since all the proceeds were don-
Burned In paying the Government lien, officers' fees,
storage, commissions, etc. Thus a little of the
money will now reach the planter, giving him soma
thing with which to hire laborers and secure an
other mop. Our reporter has been endeavoring to
make some estlinatee of the produce of various
kinds now in this market. The figereS are very in
accurate, because of the difficulty of getting infor.
mation. Many owners of cotton, turpentine and
rosin yet have their stooks concealed, fearing to ex
pose them until all questions of loyalty shall be set
sled, and the operetions under the confiseation laws
shall be developed. lint confidence Is gradually
being restored, and every day some new lots are
brought to light. The steamer sailing for New
York to-day takes out a full cargo, and leaves on
the wharf enough cotton and l'oBlll to freight an
other vessel. Under the new order, business will
assume even greater activity.—Wilmington (N, C.)

canal navigation between the two cities will be re
opened in a very few days. As a consequence, ship
pere will avoid the dreaded transfer of freight which,
for So long a time, they have had to submit to. Am
other more desirable advantage gained Is, that
freights will be reduced in a corresponding ratio
with the increszed facilities of communication. The
Lynchburg papers have heretofore complained that
the canal tariffs have been too high for people who,
at the end of the war, found themselves with scarcely

BISHOP. ANDRRWR i PASTORAL LATTER.
DBAn BIM/Dm( : The events of the last few
menus have placed both the church and the OWL
try in greatly altered Oirounistancee, and hence it
.becomes necessary to adapt ourselves to our altered
relations. Our hope Of obtaining& distinct nationali
ty ail a people has been frustrated, and the pray!.
dew* of God seems to have ordained that we shall
be again united In civil compact with oar former
associates of the North. The Stare and Stripes
again wave over us as in former days, and it Is now
our national flag, and should be respected accord
ingly. We have with out very inadequate means
fought through a bloody war, but have at length
been overwhelmed by superior numbers, and have
been compelled to yield. Our armies have Mood
bravely, and we have mat no honor In the oonfilet ;
and now that the struggle is over, let us at onoe,
arid resolutely, apply ourselves to the peaceful avo•
Wiens of life. Let the young men of the oniotry
now return to their much. loved homes, seek to en
gage, the earliest moment possible, in some honest
business, and by all means avoid all temptations
to idleness. Let all our paroled Soldiers carefully
avoid all concerned in bushwhacking or , guerilla
warfare. These are wrong in principle and prac
tice, and whatever seeming apology there might
have been for the practice during the war, there can
certainly be none now. It becomes us all now to
seek, by all practical means, to promote the return
Of Peace and good neighborhood among the various
Section of the United States. Let us strive, as far
as mactioable, to forget the wrongs which wahave
suffered, and earnestly address ourselves to the task
Of reconstructing the Government, and promoting
Its peace and übity. The brooding over our altered
fortunes, and making them the theme of oonversa•
lion, will tend greatly to increase our bitterness of
feeling, and drive from our hearts that peace co God
Without which our religion Is a more "tinkling
symbol." There are among us. at various points,
Federal soldiers, who, so far as I have learned, de
port themselves In a very orderly manner. Let na
not by any action of ours inertenne them to a diffe

all the courtesies of life; Invite them to your

services of religion. for doubtlen many of them be

If you wish to live quiet and peaceable lives, in all

The Rebel General Gideon J. Pillow
A Murfreesboro (Tenn.) oorreepondent, writing to
the Milwaukee Wisconsin, says:
"Among the former magnates and late leaders of
the rebellion, who have returned to eat their leek, is
General Gideon J. Pillow. I visited him last week,
at his Mansion, live miles from Columbia. The
splendid estate on which his mansion 18 built
leased out by the Government to an enterprising
Yankee. The family of the general have, however,
been allowed to Use the house and adjoining grounds.
The place is an elegant one, like some English Mil.
try seat. After leaving the pike to enter the oar
riage.way upon the grounds, you ride a considerable
distance through a most beautiful grove and lawn
before you get a glimpse of the residence. General
Pillow greeted us very affably, and is quite comma.

I judged to he his uniform, stripped of Its insignia
and gilt buttons—not by any means a man 01 11M•
posing exterior, but would pass for an Intrlligent
and genial farmer of the old school. The general
expresses himself as utterly subjugated, but, I
should also judge, by no means repentant. He
talks, in lubStance, if not in exact words, like this
We are Conquered ; you Yankees are our masters;
we give it up ; we are at your mercy ; we only ask a
chance, now, to get a Mktg for our families, and we

us, as he said, all their manors, how it would be in
case of a war with England or France. Perhaps he
would prefer to change masters I The general hesi
tated, but finally said that that would depend on the
course taken by Government with, their property.
I concluded that the loyalty of the general
wouldn't do to bet on' yet. The general says he
isx't guilty of treason. He is willing to be tried by
ajury of our generals, except that General Curtis
must not be on It. He couldn't trust him."
Row GENERAL LEE WENT INTO This viran.—On
th e Sunday t enon the news arrived of the fall of
Sp. a gentleman of our aceptainte.noe, in whom
w p la ce perfect confidence, took the oars at Wash
ington to go to Richmond. Upon the train were
Alex. A. R. Stuart, William Ballard Preston, and
another member of the committee which the Vir
ginia Legislature had sent np to Washington to
confer with the Government, or more properly
Speaking, to see what manner of man the new Presi
dent was, and to spy out the land. At one of the
stations beyond Alexandria, quite a crowd had col
lected, and eager demands Were made for the news
as the train came in. Mr. Stuart and Mr. Preston
stepped upon the platform of the ear to answer the
inquiries. Our informant notified one well-dressed
gentleman, who seemed to be the spokesman and
and person of the crowd. He was flourishing up
and down the platform with more or less conse
quence, and as the train stopped, Cried out, "What's
the news
"Sumpter has fallen," was the reply.
"1 , 11 raise an army and march on Washington,"
exclaimtd the excited individual, swinging his cane
and walking uneasily about. "I'll commence to•
morrow morning." ha repeated, "and raise an
army, and take Washington. Hadn't I batter do
it, Mr. Preston 1" It was some tame before Preston
answered, so long that our friend thought he would
make no reply, when he said, slowly and oracularly:
True courage walla on dell beration."
" Was Mere any bloodshed 1" asked the exalted
:, No:
"Wasn't Meier looking down, and opeatin g as
if surprised. As the train moved off, he was heard
to repeat : shall raise an army and match on
Washington."
When the train was under way our friend asked:
"Who is that enthusiastic maul" "That is Colonel
Lee," said Mr. Preston.
And that is the man who has since been com
mander 01 the rebel forces. and who is represented

We clip from the New York Times of yesterday
the following amusingly satirical estimate of Lord

by his late political gyrations on the tight-rope of
the English HOW° of Lords:

the United States to be befriended by a man of such
immense antiquity as Lord Brougham; and as he
is never weary—weak though he be—in giving us
advice, It must be pleasing to him to See how well
we get along under it, even though we generally
totally disregard it. But we are pained to be com
pelled to say that hie Lordship is an illustra
tion of the sad fact that old age is apt to be
characterized by weak memory as well al by
physical infirmity. By the last mall, we have
a speech of his, delivered at a banquet to the Prince
of Wales, in which he gives this country a great
deal of advice as to how It shall comport itself here
after, and he precedes it by these words : "If my
voice could reach across the Atlantic, It would tell
our kinsmen that their best friends, those who have
been their advocates through good report and
through bad report, now pray and beseech them”—

[Prom the New York Tribune, June 26 !
,his city is now geeing new times. It km passed
through the ordeal of the rebel rule and the wimp.
tion, and it now begins to show fresh life under a
new order of things. The sway and Influence of
slave•owners and the planter princes of the Mesh

air ; the oily Is cleaned morally and materially ;
trade in a quiet way goes on, and the number of
boats on the river begins to increase. Along with
this change has come a change in habits. A disso

word. Now, it has only an average share among
great °Mee of that evil. Ac long as the war raged

MAY Tonanno BIONMOND.-4"rom the best
information to be obtained, there seems to be no
doubt that the stock of leaf tobacco In the hands of
planters Is comparatively small, and that the pre.
sent price is likely to advaneeD because of the fart
that there will be no crop made In Virginia this
year. We learn from an old Mend—a commission
mercbant—that good leaf sells readily at fair prices,
and that buyers can be found forall that the plant
ers cart send here. If this be the Ma, and we are
qui cure that It is, would do to hold

farthest,) when they dud a ready market at

tions of their crops to travelling Mt; ors, under the
Impression that there was no money In Richmond,
and that transportation could not be had for months
to come. They ought to have known that the to
bacco would not have been sought and purchased in
their barns had not the buyers known that the rail.

there was ample money in Richmond to pay for all
that can come here.--Richmond Republic.
We have little of theatrical novelty during the
present week in Philadelphia. The Chestnut-street
has closed its doors—histrlonktally speaking—open
ing them again to, or with, the sable minstrelsy or
Cotton and Murphy. N. B. We compliment the
proprietary of this "Colored Band „ on the man
ner in which the first half of their name eta the
character of their vonallsim. The company is an
munced as the Champion Troupe of America. If
so, it will do its work upon the pockets of our
citizens very effectively. From the Arch the Webb
Sisters have retreated, leaving us to the anticipa
tion of Frank Drew, who has reappeared there this
week; while Stone and Rosston , s huge tent has
crumbled into the air and vanished, having con
tributed any amount of agreeable baking to sum
mer pleasure•seekers, who might not object to
,the
heat of the weather during last week, Niith audi
ences ranging from WO to 3,500 In number.
In revenge for this, the summer season at New
York Is extraordinarily lively, and promises to be
come even still more so. Mr. Bandmann has given
a gratuitous performance In the line of high farce,
which has been lengthily reviewed in the Polics
Gazette of our sister city. Not being of a peculiarly
moral character, we refrain from doing more than
alluding to It.
Another legal drama of "Intents) and thrilling
interest " to the party concerned has laid its pro
logue before the public. This is the ease of Ed
ward H. House, of the Tribune, against C. S. Bar*
Bard, the theatrical agent, in which Judge Ship-
Man decided on Friday to deny the injunction
against the publication of " Arrahma•Pogue," ap.
plied for by Mr. House. The judge decided that
there was sufficient doubt of the right of Mr. House
to a copyright or " Arrahma,Pogue" to justify him
In denying the injunction. After this, a similar
case WB9 brought by Mr. House against Mr. French,
the play-publisher, which was also decided against
the plaintiff.
A sensation has been produced by J. W. Wailsak
at the theatre of his deceased uncle, with MO em
bodiment of the "Iron Mask." He is this week to
produce another, at the same house, with his ren
dering of Fagan in "Oliver Twist."

would seem to have to have taken out an exelnsive

In the meantime, Mr. House has made himself
unpleasantly conspicuous in the Columns of New
York criticism, by his exceptionably nejtial estimate
of Ms Homan powers. He, in oonfiequenoei
figures in the columns of the Leader in a very seahlaßS
lug dissection , under the scalpel or Mr. Fisk, than
whom we know no Critical chirureien more capable
or less txoublad. about the personal sensations of
his patient. We quote the commencement of this
article, on the score of its local applicability to our
own city :
"The critlo of the Tribune has at length been
shamed out of hie silence in regard to Miss Hos
mer. He tries to excuse himself by stating that he
has had "little inclination" to speak of certain
terfortuances. May I suggest that a matter of duty
does not rest IMOD IDollnation 'I The Tribune
inclination may lead him to spend all hie
time at the theatre where BotioloanWe play is being
rehearsed, and Ws none or my business if it does.
But so long as the Tribune keeps up the farce of
Lavin a critic, I am interested, as a Journalist, 111
having that farce at least moderately well played."
Dir. House is this week peoulimly unfortunate,
whether it be in law or criticism.
COTTON & MINSTRBLO.—This

sistible. Mr. Cotton became very popular in this
city many years since, and from the lively manner
in which he was received last evening, by hundreds
who, perhaps, saw him for the first time, it was
evident that he will maintain a place in the popular
affeetiOna Of the people. We understand that a

From J. B. Lippincott & tlo. we have received
several new pliblioetions of Harper & Brothers.
First of these, by virtue of Sts vast circulation and
surprising popularity . (It has a million of readers, at
least.) Is Harper's Magazine.
,Tha July number
.has between thirty and forty excellent wood engrav•

Brown; "Horole Deeds of Hereto Men," with every
exciting narrative of a race on a railroad In the
Scour; Wilkie Collins' Armada's ; Personal
Recolleetions of Abraham Lincoln;" and "Our
teal Friend,” by Charles Dickens. The Monthly
Record of Current Events, In this magazine, is a
resume of public events, written with great care and
en evident desire to declare the truth.
The twelfth number of " Harper's Pictorial Histo
ry of the War," including General Butler's adminie•
trailer , of antra at Now Orleans, Is just published,
and pen and pencil have combined to make a poem
lar narrative, very reliable and liberally executed.
A few dale ago we had occasion to commend 4, 0 n
Guard," by Miss Annie Thomas, an English an
ther, which had then appeared as a volume of Har
per's Library of Select. Novels. To that excellent
collection has now been added "Theo. Leigh," also
by Miss Thomas. This, also, IS a story of English
society In the present time—well written, with the
plot well developed, and the characters sharply
Individualized. As the heroine does not marry,
some romanec•readers may be disappointed ; bat
what is called poetical justice Is substantially done".
and what more can be desired?
From T. B. Pugh, corner of Sixth and Chestnut
Mete, we have the third number of Hour* at Home,
the new faintly monthly, devoted to religious and
useful literature, edited by G. M. Sherwood, and
published by C. Soribner & Co., New York. This
July number is a decided Improvement on its pre
decessors, and shows that ha editor hes a fixed pur
pose, which he knows how to carry out, It is not
alone a long list of contributors, but judgment in
suggesting subjects and how they shall treat them,
that makes a good periodical. Mr: Sherwood hail
contrived to make a very readable magazine. There
is, as an illustration, an engraving from Solundea
fine picture of " Joseph Interpreting Pharoah's
Dream." The poetry here is very flood—partici/.
larly an Australian ballad, called "The Remedial)
of the Mallee Scrub." .
Through Ashmead & Evans we have received the
two latest publications of Ticknor & Fields, of Bos
ton. The eeoond part, number, or volume, of "Com
panion Poets for the People" Is a selection of lyrics,
entitled Songs for all Seasons, from Alfred Teeny
son's poems. There are - thirteen vignette en
ermines, little gems of art, from designs by Mulls%
CreaWilik, 0. A. Barry, Id. Fenn, G. Perkins, and S.
Eytlnge. In this collection, consisting of about
sixty poems, the reader will gladly recognize many
old faVerittell...Oriana, Ciaribel, The Merman, The
Mermaid, The May Queen, New Year's Eve, and
other early lyrics are here. with many of his later
such as Come Into the Garden, Maud ; Go Not,
Happy Day; The Bugle Song; Ring Oat, Wild
Bells; The Millerta Daughter; The Death of the
Old Year ; The Ringlet ; The Brook; and that most
delicious of all cradle songs, What does Little
Birdie say i" Tee next volume of these COMparliOn
Poets will contain National Lyda, by John G.
Whittier. At the low pride of these illustrated
boot s (fifty cents for each) nothing but an enormous
sale can repay the publishers. Already, we are told,
the demand for the Early, has been very great.
Matthew Arnold, Professor of Poetry in the Uni
versity of Oxford, is honored as the eon of the late
Dr. Thomas Arnold, historian and critic, but better
known as the head master of Rugby School. The
Professor is respected for his own attainments, and
particularly becauee he has written some poetry
which the world Will not willingly let die. He IS
also a good probe writer, and Mee UM Collected his
"Resale on Criticism " from various periodicals in
Which they had appeared. Ticknor & Fields tan
reprinted this collection here, forming a comely 12mo
of 522 pages. A sharp and oharaoteristio prelate is
the key, as it were, to the whole book. Mr. Arnold
is what may be called a trenchant critic, and to say
the truth, addicted to express himself in a fearless
Manner, at all time. With him, a fool is a fool, a
rogue is a rogue, and a dumb! a dunce, This plain
speaking is not relished by all—hence, the prelims
tells us, Mr. Arnold has Incurred the displeasure of
'he Saturday Review, the anger of Mr. Wright, (one
ol the translators of Homer,) the ridicule
Of Xt. Disraeli, and the enmity of some
smalls fry. He brushes these away with great
sego' fod literally pounds hie other opponents. In
about elettY pages here, on translating Homer, Mr.
Arnold's OutraaterifitioEl are very palpable. He
flings tie Intro -about with Intended Mischief in
each motion, Ike Richard Omar-de-Lion whirling
his battlwaXe Ma battle of the Crusades. It is a
pity that the Ear., of Derby, who is Chancellor of
Oxford, where Mr. ernold has a professor's chair,
had not published his version of the Iliad before the
criticisms upon Homerietranslators had appeared.
Mr. Arnold prefers the long hexameter, but
Lord Derby's version le simply In plain
Verse. Thee reader will Ann some amusement,
as wallas no small amount of gooneritiohim, in Mr.
Arnold's diequisitions OR

To the genius of the late Arthur 13113.0 a very
well-merited compliment is generously pau by Mr.

Literary Influence of Academies, Maurice de Gab.
Oa, Eugenie de Guerin, Heinrich Heine, Pagan
and Medlioval Religious sentiment, Jaobert,

There is plenty of variety here, and a great deal
of suggestive as Well as Outspoken criticism. It is
a book to read slowly and think seriously over.

With reference to the cotton supply question,
which is at present one of considerable oontroverky,
end the source of a multitude of contradictory
opinions, the New Orleans Price Current, of the 16th
inst., Me the following communication, In which
the total crop of cotton now in the Southern coun
try; both east and west of the Mississippi, is ani
mated by a professedly competent observer not (to
exceed twelve hundred thousand bales, and the crop
for the present year not more than five hundred
thousand bees. The natural inolluation or the
writer appears to be adverse to underrating tile
probable quantity available for commerce before
the crop of 1888 is ready for market, and the proba
bilities are in favor of hie estimate not being fully
realized:
In a'review of the 'cotton trade published in your
Wee of May 5, my estimate of merchantable cotton
on hand in the South was 1,800,000 balsa ; and for
the growing crop 000,000. Total supply up to the
booming of the crop of 1866, 1900,000 bales. Since
then I have sought the opinion of many wend*.
tormed parties from both aldso of the Mississippi
river, as well as by a six weeks , sojourn in Missis
sippi ascertaining the condition of the growing
atop. The result is that Ism disposed to reduce my
former estimates as to the quantities on bald, espy
wally In the Trans•Misaisalppi region. .1.11 Will be
borne in mind that immediately after the welting of
that review we were advised of the destruction of
about one hrundredthouaand bales in Alabama, and
more lately a largo . amount has been destroyed sit !Mobile . Mobile. The effects of the sudden transition of the
labor of the country can only be realized by those
who witness it and taking ail the cirOamstanass
into aecount, 1 do not believe that Ave hundred
thousand bales can be raised this year. The cotton
lying near the water courses will soon be at head,
subsequent receipts will come in very slowly, espe
orally as planters are awaiting the removal of th e
twenty-rive per cent. deduction, 'have no atdootlon
to put tho opinion on record, that dating from the
