No. 13 Mttdlan Htreet LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION, MKMPHISi Tuesday Evening, January 32. 1867 HEW ENGLAND THREATENED. New En-eland, that aterilo region, whose inhabitants assume to lead the march of mind and drag the West and South at her car, is in some peril. The West is turning her attention to manu facturing, and every spindle she sets to revolving is a threat at New England. Why may not the West spin cotton, yarn, and manufacture generally? lhat sec tion can grow her own provisions, export her own surplus and manufacture at the same time. New England appears to claim the monopoly of manufacturing as a matter of right. Certainly she controls the policy of Congress and gathers the fruits of it The tariffs are for her pro tection alone. They tax the WeBt for 'her benefit How? By divertixg Wes tern attention from the outrage, in setting up a cry against the South. But the West begins to perceive the trick, and there is to day a strong disposition to defeat it. What then ? New England will fall She produces nothing. She only changes the form ot that which other sections produce. When these sections shall make the most of their resources, she wilt resemble a Band- liar in the Mississippi river, op on which nothing grows, and to which nothing is carried. But the greatest opposition she dreads is just awakening in the South- Among the changes, observes the Bal timore Sun, which are likely to result from the late conflict between the North and the South, those of a' commercial and manufacturing character promise to Le the most conspicious. Before the war, the natural course of business was to send cotton from the South to the Northern Atlantic cities to be manu factured or re-shipped to Europe, re cciving in return such goods as the plant ing States consumed. Now, the tenden cy is to localize -the business of the South to produce there, as far as possi ble, the manufactured goods required for home consumption. With the growth of manufactures in the South, the advan tages of cheapness, resulting from having the raw product on the spot, will be re alized, and eventually she may under sell ol hers, and send her surplus direct to such foreign markets asare in need of them. As a symptom of this intro version of trade, it may be noted that between seventy and eighty cotton mills are now said to be in process of erection in the Southern States, besides sundry woolen ones, all tending to the change in trade and bushiest to which we have adverted. Nor is this tendency confined to the South solely, but seems to be actuating the people of the Western States also. There, too, increased attention to manufacturing enterprises is manifested, promising changes in commercial affairs not an ticipated ten years since. These have been expedited in the South by the lute conflict in arms, while in the West they tire the result of views antagonistic to those entertained by the manufacturers of the Atlantic States. DEATH OF N. P. WILLIS. The telegraph announces the death of N. P. Willib, the poet. For many years his health had been declining, and his friends have been expecting his dis solution at any moment His age was about sixty, but his experience of the world, if reduced to numbers, would ex ceed that He lived in the world for world, and comprehended and en joyed the utmost it could give. Al though a poet, his view of life was prac ticaL If he sang through the organs of his imagination, he tested the stern facts of life and coerced them into subjection to his convenience. He was not a great poet, but his nature was attuned to music, and some of his productions are true specimens of poetic harmony. Hi pon has rendered " Glen Mary and "Mlcwild," classic, beautiful and immortal, lie was one oi a ciass ui brilliant young men who controlled American liiera'.ure thirty years ago. Aaung there may be mentioned Cktixt, Hau.scit, Pos, Dbaee, Pkrcital, Daka., Longfellow, Xcal, and others. If Willis ha been severely criticised, he will be remembered as one of the most brilliant men of America. His loss to the Home Journal is irreparable. 'Hi loss to the world of letters i great It is a source of regret to those who did not know hi personally, that they shall rvad nothing more from hi fascinating pen. THE KEMPHIS BAR.

We cuter enter into no argu mn fnr none is nccessarj . We wish simply to invite the attention of the city government to the subject. HOW THE ACCOUNT STANDS. According to the report of Gen. How abd the present negro population ot the eleven Southern States is 3,007,000. Turning to the census of 18C0, says the K'1,ville Union, the reader will find that the negro population of these same eleven States in June of that year wns 3 333 000. This leaves a deficit of 268, 000 souls, lost to the world by the efforts of the North to better their condition. How shall we account for these missing people? If an hundred thousand from these States lost their lives in " fighting for tho Union," there is still a deficiency of one hundred and sixty-eight thousand whose bodies are mouldering in thegrave to satiate the Moloch of Abolitionism. But this is scarcely a tithe of the actual state of the case. In the decade between 1850 and 18C0, the ratio of in crease of slaves in tho eleven States Wb named, was. according to the last census, something more than ffUj-tvo per cent At the same rate tor the past vpars. the natural increase of that class of our population in the States named, would have been 1,040,000 and there should have been in June, 1866, 4,375,000, instead of 3,007,000 showing, prordine to all statistical rules, a deficit of 1,308,000, in the negro population of these eleven States? What could be more startling what more melancholy or distressing to the true philanthropist than the sacrifice thus made? IMMIGRATION. The Philadeohia Ledger says: We have already announced in these columns that 259,972 immigrants arrived at New York from abroad during 1866, a larger number than arrived during any preced ing vear since 1854. Of these the greater proportion came from Germany, and that country, with the Urittsh Islands, sent us 215,928 people. The number of these immigrants trom the various countries are as follows: Ger many, 106,716; Ireland, 68,047; Eng land. 3G.18G : Scotland, 4979: Sweden 3907; Switzerland, 3C85; France, 3246 ; Denmark, 1526; Helland, 1506;.ltaly, Bio; Norway, 583; Wales, 540; Spain, 511; West Indies, 216; Poland, 231 ; Belgium, 157; Smith America. 155; Russia, 154, Mexico is also reported to have sent us 56; China, 25; Africa, la; Australia, ll Ja- pan, 7; Ureece, a, ana oicny, i. These people are estimated as 6av- ng brought with them at least U,- 000,000 in money and effects, and it the labor they will perform here averages i five hundred dollars worth annually, they add nearly $130,000,000 to the an nual resources of tho country, im migrants are still coming, and it is re ported by those having charge ot the mat ter and conversant with the prospective business of the various lines across the ocean, that 1867 promises even, a larger immigration than I860. ENGLISH AGRICULTURAL REPORTS. The Knzlish Board of Trade has issued some valuable agricultural sta tistics of Great Britain and Ireland dur- ir the nast vear. Of the 56,961,000 acres of land in Great Britain, 28,704,807 acres were cnltivated, and of the 20,322,- 41 acres of land in Ireland, 15,549,796 were. cultivated. In Great Britain 9, 267,784 acres raised grain crops; 3.552,- i30 acres garden vegetables, yoi,y.J4 were inder bare fallow, 3,694,221 raised grass crops, and 11,148,814 were pasture or meadow lands. In Ireland Z,US,4H acres raised grain crops, 1,482,091 vegetables, 28,000 were under lare fallow; J,00,493 raised grass crops and iU.UUZ.uaii were pas ture lands.' In Great Britain there as an acre of crain raised to every 2.62 persons, and in Ireland an acre to every .56 persons. Wheat is the chinf grain crop raised in Great Britain, barley next, and oats the third. Indian corn not raised in Great Britain. Oats is the chief crop raised in Ireland. riSHIHU. A celebrated (Lherman of this city who rarely fails to get a " b te," did fail last week, during an excursion to Ar kansas. We are reminded by thi vexa tious circumstance of a story that run thus : ALruoxso was fishing. He bad got over the parapet of a bridge, Lis slender line armed with a hook, and fitted with quill float, and he wa'.ted patiently upon fortune. ' To him there arrove the sprightly Tiikoiiobe. "Al fbonso, friend of my soul," remarked the latter, "what port have yon bad?" " Not even," aid Alpboxso, with a deep sigh, as he sent his float yet once a-ain down its swim, " not even a celebrated Carthagenian general," " Indeed," said Theodore, " are tliere many of tb.at sort offish in these waters?" "I did not," said ALrronso, with a grave smile, " mean a fish. I meant An-nibble." MASSACHUSETTS. Long aco, ia Massachusetts, it wa the custom for a person to go about the met-tiug-honse during divine ervice, alnener. " He bore long rand, on one end ol which mi ball, a ld on tho otner a iox ihu. i. nv ho oh erved the men asleep, he rappe . ... il. hnml wiili I In- knob, nil roused the slumbering seiiHihilitie of tlin Indies by tlrawi'iff the brusli lignuy acros ineir i iii-us. i..v Coirtineiiting on this, the'Mobile Ti i . v : " Massachusetts prenchers of the pr esent day have advanced fur be yond lhat method.

O. A. B. The Chicago Tribune is deeply dig eusted with the Grand Army of the Re public, and in its issue of the 16th it savsof that institution: "The organi zation known as the Grand Army of the Republic, seems to have been perverted from its original and avowed object, which wa that of a benevolent and pa triotic order, to a secret political organ ization. Secret societies organized 'to secure public offices, are contrary to the cenius of our institutions. They rarely hold tegether more than two or three year. Public opinion keeps up a con stant attrition against them, the members get to quarreling among themselves, and finally fall to pieces and are beard of no more. This will be the case with the Grand Army of the Republic if its main purpose continues to be political." WAR ON THE COURT. This paragraph, from the Chicago Republican, is a good specimen of what the Jacobins say of the Supreme Court : The present attitude and elements of the Supreme Uourt can me puouc at tention, more than ever before, to the fact that the spirit of the rebellion, though overcome on the battle-field, continues to be rampant in various and important sections of the community. These latent enemies of the Republic comprise many legal minds, and, as a general rule, all lawyers who occupied more or less prominent positions under pro-slavery Administrations. Out of the same classes comes that other Phari saical clamor of respect for the " law," which is now used by the Supreme Court for the purpose of undoing all that the war has done. SOUTHERN RELIEF. The Louisville Courier says : A peti tion from the citizens of Louisville for an appropriation of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for the relief of Southern Buffering, will in a few days be laid before the Legislature. It expresses the unanimous sentiment of our people, and we hope that no smaller sum will be thought of seriously. Less than that would be unworthy of Ken tucky. So small an appropriation as fifty thousand dollars when wide-spread destitution exists in five or six States. which private charity is utterly unable to meet, would cause the cheeks of many Kentuckians to blush for our parsimo nious policy. IHB OIL FAILURE. A Northern paper says : " Fortunes (at least the many "oil " prospectuses that once flooded the country called them such) are now daily sold ont by the sheriff in the oil regions. Property once valued at millions is sold nnder the hammer for a few hundreds, for unpaid taxes, and the portentous figure of the inexorable officer of the law looms up beside many a "derrick" erected over a dry welL The bogus companies haying exploded, there s a chance for the petroleum business to flourish on a legitimate basis." EAILE0AD LEASE. General Beacregabd, President of the New Orleans, Jackson and Great North ern railroad, announces through the New Orleans papers that bids will be received until the first of April next for the lease, for a term not to exceed thirty years, of that portion of this road north of Canton, Miss., to the lennessee river (a distance of 203 miles), including all the surveys, grading, masonry, and other works lready done, and all the unpaid sub scriptions of stock on that portion ofthe road. COTTON. The cotton estimates are pow complete, showing a total product of 1,750,000 bales of four hundred pounds each. As the actual bales are now aearly five hundred pounds each, this is equivalent to a mil lion and a holf such bales. The estimates are made upas follows : North Carolina, 91,000 bales; South Carolina, 102,000; eorgia, 203,000; Florida, 38,000; Ala bama, 220.0QO; Mississippi, 70,000 ; Louisiana, 109,000; Texas, 300,000; Arkansos, 182,000; Tennessee, 118,000; other States, b7,000. 4 JUDICIOUS REPLY.

Aggravation ot the Tax on Cotton. The tux of three cents a pound on cotton is generally conceded to be high enough ; and quite nil the articles can bear. But it seems that under a treasury decision this tax ha bee a in many in stances quadrupled. Cotton sent to market in the Beed is charged upon it whole weight, including both the fleece and seed. A New Orleans paper points out the hardship ot sucb a construction of tho law, working as it does against small lurmers, and tho tow industrious frecdmen who cannot go to the expense of buildiair. and equipping gin houses; and also upon thoso planters living Jin the sugar districts, who have turned their attention to the cultivation ot cot ton, and have not provided themselves with gins. It is au object to send the cotton to market as soon as it n picked, and there is therefore no time to wait for opportunities, even if the gins were numerous enough, to free the seed by employing sucb gins as might be access iblo at some points in the districts where grown. It is surprising to us that the Com missioner of Internal Revenue has not seen tit to regulate the levy on nnginned cotton by some rule, which would make a fair allowance for tare. A tax on cot ton is not a tax on cotton and cotton seed, any more than a tax on the corn grown by a Western farmer would be a tax on the corn-cob, blades and stalks. The New Orleans Journal calls on the Governor, New Orleans Chamber of Commerce, and other influential bodies, to remonstrate against this abnse. Strangd as it may seem, such efforts seem to be necessary to correct a ruling, which appears to be so flagrantly erroneous. For the same paper ttutes that General W. P Benton, Collector of Iuternal Revenue, sometime since pointed out, to the authorities at Washington the unjust operation of this law, and asked permission to properly regulate the tax by allowing a liberal tare upon cotton in seed, but he was in structed to abide by the strict letter of the law. As the cotton States have no representative in Congress, they are wholly helpless in that body, unless some Representative from the other section is willing to stand up as a friend to the in terests ot the industrious poor of those States. St. Louis Republican. Selling Negroos In Maryland and White The New York Express thns reminds the Radicals of a fact or two they seem to have forgotten: , One branch ot Congress is in a fer ment to day about the sale of several colored people in Maryland, under a de cree of court, after conviction of crimes. One of the parties Dick Harris was found guilty of stealing beef, and sen tenced to be sold for six months. Not being a very valuable woolen fubric, he W88 bought in by his brother for fifty dollars, and he is now working at An napolis for eight dollars per week. Had ho been a white man, the law would have required a sentence of from one to fifteen years in the penitentiary. None of the ether blacks who were sold brought bo high a figure. , Ihe law under which this Bale was made was passed by a Radical Legisla ture and approved by the Radical Gov ernor Bradford. In the Senate it re ceived every vote except two, and the House stood forty-eight to six. What is singular enough or what would be strange in any other times than the present is the fact that out in Mis souri the Radical Legislature lately pas sed a law requiring white vagrants (per sons out of employment) to be sold to the highest bidder, and under it some' six vagrants were, a few days ago, sold by a CQurt at St Louis for six months. Is it wo(se to sell a negro beef-thief for six months than to sell a white man for the same period for no other crime than be ing out of work ? Monarchy. "Hermes" of the iUreuni. savs: Mr. Seward is accufied of beinir a mon archist, and of being desirous to make Mr. Jolinson a rune. This is Radical clap trap. Many men beside Mr. Sew ard and General Beauregard feel that an unbridled democracy is not a safe and satisfactory style of government, but runs to anarchy, or demands a consoli dated government It is the aristocracy who limit monarchy by law. Barons wrest Magna Charter from King John ; the plcbs hail Augustus Iinperator. A petition is circtilatine in Massachu setts asking the Legislature not to ratify the constitutional amendment, because it concedes to the States the riizlit to ex clude citizens from suffrage. It repre sents that the honor of Massachusetts would be tarnished by voting such an ar ticle into the Constitution of the United States. "Bill Tompkins what is a widow?"
