Another Word from Ex-Secretary Treuholin on tUe Cotton Question of Confederate Times. 1o the Fditor of the . News and Conner: our correspondent " X " is undoubtedly correct as regards the faock of-cotton iu the United States jiorts on the lsli of September, 1860. It should havt , been added to the amount of the prop. It was, as ap pears by "X'sf; tables, 218,997 bales. From this was drawn the excess of exports over the crop, namely, 125, 000 bales, leaving apparently still in stocK. yt5.yy oaies. Jut it is not correct to say that there was " left in the country for I Confederate uses " on the 22d Febru-I arv, l,514,6.ol bales, as if the exports 1 1 .1 l .1 -1 ' 1 I iau men oeen summarily arrestea.

There is a striking resemblance be tween the character of the land and the character of the people. The Swede" is never stupid. He is rather fantastic. Tie has no talent for me (liocrity. Ho has rather a turn for eccentricity. --j Alt that is sweet melts him and fills him with joy. All that is great attracts him and fills him with enthusiasm, ivven in the poorest circumstance, his heart is always ovvrflowmg, with .sublime longings, which lie pours forth in the sweetest and most touching, songs the world has ever heard The Swede, moreover, affords fan example "of --good manners and grace ltil courtesy which mignt well Deimi tatea by the dwellers in a warmer ciime. The aspiring youth -xloes not try to show off his dexteHty. by hand- 1 i n i an extensive number -of phrases. : The first tokeu of character of !eiuiine Swedish stamp is the - '-:iuacitv of arguing with gentleness, of denying, with courtesy, and pro tcsiing vvith politeness.; This habit is so prevalent in all speech, that by ! m i 1 people among his neighbors J o Swede is often suspected ot raise hood on account of his sweet words. ''here is perhaps little extravagance i'i the Swedish laho-uageon this point When-a Dane swears, he is still modest in his roughness.

The ZIoaton Boy-Murderer A Start If UK Career. Boston, April 23. A little boy four and a half, years old was found Yesterday afternoon by a policeman lying dead in the marshes, near the Dorchester line. Ilia body was horribly .'mutilated. His head was nearly severed from his body, and about thirty slabs were found in different parts of his body. ihe boy s name was Horace .Alullen, the sou, of poor parents. A boy o I fifteen years of age, named Edward Pomeroy, who resides in Chelsea,' has been arrested for rtlering the child. Young Pome roy wss recently pardoned trom the State Reform School, where he was sent for cutting and mutilatinjr sev eral children vountrer than himself. lie was shown the body of bis vi4 tim and being asked if he ever saw the boy before, he said: "Yes; but I don't want to see him any more." H trembled all over while in the room and showed evidence of -guilt He said if he did the deed he was sorry for it, arid hopped his mother would not know about it. After looking at the body Detective Woods asked him if he did that, referring to the cutting. He replied: -'Yes, I killed him." And on his way back from the undertaker's he said in answer to questions: "I suppose I killed him.' Detective Woods then asked him what he thought ought to be done with him, and he replied: "Put me somewhere so I can't do such things. v The youth is undoubt edly insane. I he record of this boy Pomeroy is extraordinary. His last victim, whom he stabbed, and horribly mutilated and then threw into a marsh, was four years of age. His previous victims were many. One was a son of Mr. Payne, ox Chelsea, who was, about tjunstmas isvi. taKen dv iromerov to Powder Horn Hill, stripped naked tied to a beam, beaten with a rope and left helpless.

Johnny iach was en . ... . j . ticed to Powder Horn Hill soon after July 4, 1872, stripped, gagged, tied to a "beam, beaten, and then taken to a salt water creek and washed. Iiobt Gould, in September of the same year, was taken from South vBoston to the vicinity of the Hartford and Erie Railroad, stripped, tied to a tele graph pole, whipped, and cut with a knite m the head. Henry Austin, in August of the same year, was at South Boston, stripped beftten, and cut in tne oacK ana crroin witn .a knife. George Pratt, about the same time, was eritieed into the cabin of a yacht at South Boston, stripped and punctured with pins and needles in different parts of his body, and left insensible and bleeding. Jos. Iven nedy was about the same time taken to a place on the Old Colony road in South Boston and maltreated in about the same manner that the Gould boy had been, lhese boys were- . all of tender age, from seven to eleven years old. t or these offenses he was sent to the Reform School in 1872, but in that institution his conduct was so good he was pardoned out February 6 last on the petition of his mother, who is. a dressmaker. A Geuins Son of a Rentue. Most of our readers do not know that the heir of the Brownings, in heritino- talents from both father and mother, is fulfilling the Daltonian theory of the descent of genius. A correspondent from Europe whites of this vounsy manl scarce out of his teens: Again, I was inuch interested by the pictures of the young son of the poet Browning sketches and oil paintings, somewhat crude, but indi eating genuine power and inspiration, "In detiniteness of conception and im aginative force they reminded me not a little of Vedder, 1 shall not soon forget the young artist's " Ghost of a Haunted House a quaint skeleton peering through a shadowy robe, a grim visage of death, rendered more hideous by an unnatural glamour (quite successfully rendered) ot hid- eons life. Ihe eon of the .Brownings js remarkable for the versatility of his uenius, disolayiug almost equal talent in painting, music andTitera- hiure. lie is now in Leipzig studying art, t)ot from the Danbory ITJan on Women and Whitewashing. There is nothing a woman is more deeply concerned in tnau ner wnite washing, ur nothing she is so conceit ed about as her own efforts in that line, if it doesn't "streak." To keep it from "streaking" is her highest ambition, and when she has succeeded, every woman within a mile is dragged in to see it, and her unfortunate husband is forced to admire it until he hurts his neck. Every woman has a natural de sire to see her h asband whitewash. When she has a job of it ou hand she invariably proffers it to him with a strong expression of doubt in his abil ity to perform it, a distrust he hastens to confirm with cheerful alacrity.- Man's antipathy to whitewashing arises ' mainly from having at, some time or another stepped on the handle of a brush reposing across a pail, and thrown about two quarts of the mix ture over himself and the furniture, besides tipping over the pail, and emp tying its contents in his shoes.

Andtiews. Produce Exchange. Attempted Robbery. An ineffectual attempt was made on Sun day night last to rob a dwelling house on Bladen, between Eighth and Ninth streets, occupied by two white ladies. What adds to the atrocity of this attempted robbery is the fact that one of the ladies is a hopeless and helpless invalid, her condition being such as to require the constant attention of her sister, and but for the aid extended them by the Sisters of Mercy they would necessarily suffer. The discovery of the attempted roboery was owin; to an act of charity on the part of the ladies. A poor man in the neighborhood who had been compelled to leave his house because of his inability to pay rent, and being sick, was furnished a room.and bed in their house until he could do better. The thieves were about getting in at one of the windows, when the sick man became aroused and made a noise, at which they dropped the window and fled in great haste, thinking they were about to be pursued.

Considerable excitement was created in the vicinity of the corner of Third and Castle streets, yesterday about noon, by the appearance on the sidewalk of a large beech-leaf snake. Two little children first discovered the reptile and of course . were badly frightened. Their cries brought W. AT Jordan, colored, to the scene, who quickly despatched Ifls snakship Local Cols. : r Frost reported in several localities Sunday iifcht.

Waddell for Congress, though the delegation go to the Magnolia Convention uninstructed. Alarm of Fire Last Night. Last night, about 9 o'clock, the unwel come sound of the fire-bells were heard, and upon investigation it was found that the Cam es were in a room above the Cali fornia Auction House on the North side of Market, between Front and Water streets. The fire department was quickly on hand, but luckily their services were unnecessary, as the flames had been brought under con trol by parties who were near at hand and who used buckets and water freely. The fire was discovered in the partition which divides the two rooms above the auc: tion room, and was bursting forth in the apartment occupied by jMr. Charles Cas prowitz as a cigar establishment. The flames had communicated to some of the boxes of cigars in the room, but only a few were in jured. The firemen, who were spoiling for a little exercise, and having no fire to- turn their pipes upon, took it out in deluging the Market House and streets with water. A Tonne Man Injured by the Falling In of a Roof. a On yesterday morning, between jlO and 11 o'clock, as two young men by the name of Richard P. Gregory and W. S. Ellis were making preparations to re-shingle the roof o a house on Fourth street, just North of Booey Bridge, Ihe roof of the shed upon which they were standing suddenly gave way, young Ellis falling through to the floor beneath, with the plank and rubbish on top of him. He fell across a barrel, by which, with the other causes combined, he received severe injuries, his back and side oemg badly bruised. Young Gregory was suf ficiently near the side of the roof to jump off when he discovered that it was falling and consequently sustained no injury. A physician was immediately summoned to attend the young man who was wounded and at last accounts he was as comfortable as could be expected. Mayor's Court.

Entrance was effected through a window. The Odd Fellow' Celebration Yester day. The members of Cape Fear Lodge No. 2 and Orion Lodge No. 67, in their handsome regalia, paraded through the principal streets yesterday with full ranks, present ing a very fine appearance. The occasion, it will be remembered, was the celebration of the first anniversary of Orion Lodge and also of the fifty-fifth anniversary of the in troduction of the order of Odd Fellowship juto the United States. Nearly every member of the Lodges were in the proces sion, which was headed by the Rose Bud Brass Band. The parade ended, the procession was dismauded at the Lodge room, with the injunction to the members to meet at the sauK! place at 7 o'clock in the evening. The ceremonies at night were of a very interesting character, and after the ad dresses were concluded the members and in vited guests repaired to Temperance Hall, where the festivities of the day were closed with music and dancing. Man Drowned. On Sunday last a white and colored man, the former named J. N. Cciley, were in a boat on Lumber river, about four miles from Fair Bluff, when it was accidentally capsized. Mr. C, who could swim, was drowned in attempting to reach the shore, while the colored man, who could not swim, saved himself by clinging to the boat. The. last the colored man saw of his com panion he was swimming in the direction of the shore. Mr. J. C. Heins, of this city, was at the scene of the disaster as late as 6 p. m., Sun day, and up to that time tha party engaged in dragging for the body had not succeeded in recovering it. Robbery of a Shoe-Shop. On Sunday night last, sometime between midnight and day, the shoe-shop of Mr. J. Bauman, located on Second, between Mar ket and Princess streets, was entered by thieves who carried off three pairs of fine boots and a few other articles. An entrance was effected through a back window. a board from the shutter of which was found to be torn off and the sash push ed in. It is supposed that the thieves were frightened off before fully , accomplishing their purpose, as there were a large number of boots and shoes in the shop at the time. The thieves seem to have " broken out in a fresh place" within the past few days. A Fight Spoiled. Three sailors, named Chas. Bruce, Wm. Talkley and Chas. Holland, got into a fight near the corner of Nutt and Mulberry Sts., on Sunday, about half past 11 o'clock, and but for the interposition of Sergeant Robert McKinzey and Officer Lewis Gordon, of the police force, the affair might have re sulted seriously. They happened to be in the vicinity, however, and quickly parted the combatants, who were taken to the Guard House. rf The Rauner Township. Mr. James Mclntyre, residing near Lil lington, in Lincoln Township, became the happy father of his twenty-second child on Friday night last.
