A guard remains with him night and day, and highly stimulating food is given to him.

All hands were saved by the assistance of a French war steamer. Tho cargo consisted of nearly 14,000 bags of coffee, together with sundry Brazilian products, in all valued at $300,000 in gold. -The New York News says: "A ru mor has been in circulation iu Catholic circles for tho pa*t week that Mr. A T. Stewart has become a convert to tho Roman Catholic religion, and that he will bo in open communion with that church in a week. It is also said that Mr. Stewart has given wjthin the past week or two a large donation in money to the Sisters of Charity. Last Tuesday evening, at the Paulist Obureh, in Fifty-ninth-street, of whioh tbe Rev. Fathei Hocker is the pastor, the reception into the Church of Rome of ex-Surgeon-Gene, ral Hammond, of the United States Army, took place. The conversion of the general is due to tbe lecture delivered at the Cooper In? stitute, about a week ago, by Dr. R )dgers, the well-known Tennessee ritualist." -Dr. Brownson is accredited with the author? ship of tho article in the Juno number of tbe Catholic World on "Spiritism and Spiritists." For the sake of the theory he wishes to evolve, the writer makes no slight concessions to the believers in table-tipping and spirit-rapping. He acquits them of being intentional deceivers, and believes them to be subject to infernal in? fluences. The spirits whiob visit thnm are not Luoae oi aeceasea mortals, but are the devil and his imps. The views they present of the eternal world are those of tbe Pagan Hades, rather than the Heaven of the Bible. He in? cludes planchette among tbe machinery of the ? Dowers of darkness, and considers the women's ^movement as one of the worst manifestations of spiritism. -A promine nt official, who is a strong pro? tectionist, recently called upon President Grant for the pnrposo Of ascertaining his views upon the tariff question. In reply to a question, tbe President said he was decidedly opposed to any legislation which had for its object an increase in the taxation of articles or merchandise im? ported into the United States. It was useless to say that the revenues of the country de? manded it, for such was not the case, and it was far better that many of the bigh duties already imposed be stricken off, and not bur? den the country with still higber ones. He would not conceal the fact that he believed a small tariff was necessary, but he would like to sae tho revenues of the country raised as ! far as potable from internal taxes, and not from heavy duties upon imported goods. -?-The Paris correspondent of the Boston Journal speaks enthusiastically of the great care taken of, and consideration shown for, children in France. He declares it to be one of the fashions of Paris to make special parties for children, ? nd the same fot ms and ceremo? nials are gone through that mark a party for adults. A very marked illustration of this was seen at the Chinese Embassy lately. The am? bassador gave a series of entertainments to the nobility of France and the foreign ambas? sadors. The series wound up with an enter? tainment iq the same grand stylo whiob had marked the others, given by little Gertrude Burlingame to her associates, at which the American children in Paris were invited. The rooms were lighted in regal style. Servant? were in full costume, music was provided, and a handsomer-dressed and a happier room of children were never seen ia Paris. Romps and games, American and Parisian, filled up the hours. -Count Tolstoy, the Russian Minister of Pabilo Instr action, has recommended to the Emperor Alexander the Second that all Rus? sian Universities shall hereafter be opened to women as well as men. A carious fact is that it is owing to the Eirghcse that women have been admitted to tho study of medicine ia Ras? sis. Several years ago. that roving tribe ap? plied to the St. Petersburg Government for some women familiar with obstetrics, who might practico as accoucheuses In their camp?. The request was complied with, and so well were tbe Kirghese ploased with their new mid? wives that they applied at St. Petersburg soon after for some women who possessed a general knowledge of medicine and might practice as physicians among them. They were greatly surprised when they heard that women were not admitted to the study of medicine in Russia. The representatives of the tribe, daring their sojourn m St. Petersburg, met a yoong lady who had been studying obste? trics for some time, and who told them if they would obtain permission from tbe Im? pel lal Government for her to attend the med? ical leo ure? at the university, ?he would come to them at the close of her studies and become their pbysioiag> The Kirghese imme? diately acted upon the suggestion, and by the aid of an influential general the young lady wa? permitted to study medicine at the Imperial University. -A horrible ease of rangions aberration recently occured bi North Carolina. A Mr. Lo: d. Jane his wife, and four children named Sarau, Polly, Eli and Nimrod, bocamo insano by attoodanco nt a "protracted mooting," and began to seo vision*. Sally olaimod to bo tho true God, the uiolhcr often paw Polly on tho oros3, and eomotimes herself felt on her bond the thorny crown, and felt in her bide tho spear, as her Saviour had done before hor. Thoy held mootings in the fields, and woro soon ono day with th?ir sleeves rolled up abovo their clbow9} knocKing dried chestnut-ourr* about ff om one to auothor until their naked hand? and arms wore covered with blood. Ono night, while Sally and hor mother discussed somo passage in Scripture, a dispute arose, occasioned by both of them claiming to be God. The mother tuouRht Sally was tho devil, and ordered her sons and husband to tie hor; they did so, and thrust, her, hor bauds tied together, out of tho door. She attempted to get in; Janies seized a bit of board and tried to push her away, while tho mother, unable to hold the door against ber, ordered Eli to shoot the devil; he fired, hitting her in the hand, and then, as they described it afterwards, "tho devil scrambled off the door-atep." Soon she was back again, putting her bloody bands in at a holo m tho top of the door, when Eli was again ordered to shoot. Nimrod loaded the riflo with two bullets, gave it to Eh, who said. .'Father, mu?t I shoot?1' "If oothhiR oise will do," said ho, "you must shoot," and said Eli, "this time I plumbed her right batwoon tho eyes." Tho body lay outsido tho door until daylight; thon the inbther ordored tho rest to carry the devil to the log-heap and burn it. This they did, no thiurr boing left but a bit of the spine and Bkull, a rib or two, some portion of the abdo? men, and the outline of the swelling shoulders and hips in tho ashes. The family were taken to jail, and while they wore all occupying the cape, a room grated with iron on the top and sides, tho sons killed their mother by choking her. A trial resulted in theil- acquittal on tho Rround of insanity. THURSDAY MORNING, MA? 27, 1869. The Production ot* Cotton, The necessity of encouraging au increas? ed production of cotton in the South is now forcing itself upon the minds of those at the North who take a comprehensive view of the commercial situation. They see that the balance of trade is constantly against the United States, and that only the contin? ued exportation of United States bonds ls pre? venting an outgo of specie which would embarrass the whole country, if it did not cause the long looked for crash, and they desire to stimulate the produotion of cotton, so that there may bsa staple to export and make payments with when the demand for bonds is at an end. The South, on the othsr hand, is not disposed to strive for enor? mous or ops of ootton, A moderate crop, with high prices, will pay the planter bet? ter than an excessive crop, with low prices; and it is moreover ageless to ascribe the smallness of the crops of the last four sea? sons to any lack of energy and enterprise among the Southern people- The New York Shipping List, for instance, recom? mends "a thorough organization of labor "and the preservation of order," suggest? ing that the South oould have done more than it has done. This is an old story; but it is as well to point out again the circum? stances which will make it impossible, for many years to come, to make crops aa large as those of before the war. The labor available for the cultivation of ootton has been reduced by the avnoasiv* mortality among the negroes, by the indis? position of many of the negroes to work at all, and by the general refusal of the col? ored women to work in the fields. The mortality of the negroes in Charleston is between twiee and three times as great as the mortality of the whites. In th? city the freedmen have better opportunities of protecting themselves than ia the country, where the mortality is at least as great as it is in the towns. Ia this way the availa? ble labor is diminishing every day; nor is the gap filled by the children and boys growing up, for in consequence of the little care taken of them, the negro children die like sheep. Their parents have no love for them, and in too many oases look upon their death as . the quiokest means of being rid of a troublesome responsibility. The wo? men, far more unruly and hard to manage than the men, think work a disgraoe, and will do nothing save perhaps in the picking season, when they may be tempted bj the ofter of money down to work for a few days or weeks. It is th? asnal calculation that one-third of our labor has been wholly lest, and thia is borne oat by every fact that comes to oar knowledge. Assuming, then, that the limit of produo? tion is the quantity of cotton that can be picked in the season, there Itmo good ground for believing that the ootton orop of this State, with our present labor system, can exceed 200,000 balee, or that of the whole South exceed 2,600,000 bales. And this is with the understand? ing that every effort mast be made to in?rense the yield to th? aere, and that fertilisers shall be largely used. Tain is the policy in South Carolina, where the aim this year is not to inoraase the area in cul? tivation, bat to increase th? yield per acre. There is no disturbing element whatever in the State beyond the scheming and plotting of the Radical politicians-whits and col? ored. We preserve order because it is te our interest to de so, and now, according to the testimony of the Mew York Times, there is less crime and violence in this State, in proportion te its population, than in any Northern or Mew England State. When the miserable adventurers who now control car local affairs are killed by th? popular ballot, we shall increase oar pro? duotion of ootton to seine entent, beoause the freedmen will then give op all idea of living by stealing, and will bookie down to their work. The negro members of the Leg? islature, and th? various negro officials, will return to their forgan and barber shops mah? horse-shoes instead of laws, and shave chins In plans of splitting hairs. The thousands who now hop? and pray fer "?es ene lee?e oftts" will find in the hoe their most effectual weapon, and draw their per diem from th? plough. This will ?well the produotion of cotton in som? degree; not on? thing .only ons make largo crops of all kinds certain, and that 1? tobit* nam*** gration. lt the North is in earnest and docs feel how dependent it is on th? Son th for an ex? portable predtasi with which ic pay it? debts, it muet encourage white immigra? tion. Wo want no Asiatics, no mongrels of any kind. Wc want wbite men who will strengthen the country politically and so? cially, besides enlarging our producing ca? pacity. Our Northern contemporaries have now an opportunity of showing whether they aro sincere. If they want large crops they must scud us immigrants. If they fear the political influence of the white mau we eau wait awhile and continuo lo make smnll crops-which will pay us very well, however unsatisfactory they may be to the merchants and spinners of the North. Greeley- on the Future of the Southern Rsulicevls. Horace Greeley has written to the editor of the Wheeling Intelligencer a letter, in which he gives the Southam Radicals gen? erally a bit of advice, full of the strong common sense characteristic of the mau. The letter is as follows : NEW YORK TBIBUNE, ) NEW YORK, November 18, 1868. f My Dear Sir-I have yours of the 16th. Its leading positions have long been understood and appreciated in this quarter. Now hoar me. Every year one thousand of your rebels die, and ono thousand (or more) of their sons be? come of age. You can't disfranchise THEM. You have now five thousand majority. Six years at furthest will convert this into a rebel ma? jority of ono thousand. Then the rebols will bo enfranchised in spite of yon, and the blacks will bo left under foot-and you under-estimatc these at two thousand. Go your own way, and eeo if the i ebola don't have you uudor foot in less than six years. I speak from a wide experience when I toll you that your house is built on tho sand. It cannot stand. Every year will seo tho passions of tho war cool and the demand for amnosty s tren g thone d. Noic you can am? nesty tho rebels. Soon the question will bo, Shall they amnesty you ? Look at Kentucky and Maryland, and read your certain fato in theirs. Yours, HORACE GREELEY. THE WAT IT WORKS.-The New York Journal of Commerce, in giving particulars of the enor? mous imports of the laat four months at that port, shows that of the $119,517,750 to which they amount, only $38,121,941 were of dry goods; that is, Contrary to general belief, dry Roods constitute only about one-third of all the foreign products for which wo have to pay. Our legislators have made the United States the dearest market in the world; consequently wo sell little and buy much. That proposition is so plain that the most illiterate reader can understand it. The theory of the protectionist is, that by making the home market dear, we encourage home production. The result, as shown by experience, is that when our markets are made dear, we lessen our sales to other countries, our produoe costing so much they can buy cheaper elsewhere; while evorybody who can comes here to sell his wares, because everything is high. This business would soon collapse of itself if we had to pay specie for the difference. But as long as we can pay in bonds, only close observers see any danger ahead. ^mnmcr ?esorts. MOUNT PLEASANT.
