Correspondence of the Wilmington Star. 1 TRAGIC OCCURRENCE. Lilesville, Anson co., Oct. 11. Mr. Editor : A melancholy affair took place last night, in our neighborhood, and one in volving a sad and remarkable history. More than two years ago Christopher U. Kirby, a man of excellent family and character, but un fortunately, addicted to ungovernable and vio lent temper, became involved in a difficulty which resulted in the death of Calvin Haire. Kirby escaped and nothing was heard of him for many mont s, his family and friends sup posing him, if alive, to be in Mexico. His wife and children live at his father in-law's; his sisters and cousin, a young gentleman nam ed Benj. Threadgill, occupy the house where he lived. Late la3t night Threadgill heard some one around the house, and thinking it to be a bur glir, cautiously opened the door and walked into the yard. In a few minutes the person appeared at the corner ot thy house, where was hailed and ordered to halt by Threadgill, who demanded his business. No reply was made. but Threadgill distinctly heard the clicking of a pistol lock, and then, as the man commenced to advance, he fired. Then, for the first time, the stranger spoke, saying, " You have killed Kit !" And so it was. He spoke no other word, but died shot through the heart iu a ftw se conds in the arms of Threadgill, and holding in his hand the cocked pistol. The presumption is that Kirby, tired of his wanderings, and looking upon his home and the loved 0!-es there, had returned, and seeing evi dences that some one besides his own iiuwedi ate family were in the boi?". tts reeonnokr ing before making hins'lf kuovyn, and so met his death at the hands of one who so far from wishing to l.arm him, wou'd Lave been ready to lay down his own life in his defence if ne cessarv That Kirby should not recognize the voice and make him-felt known at once is a mystery only to be sdvedbythe supposi'.ion that he was in such dread of dote.ction and arrest that he suspected every one ; or the thought of be ing once more at home, where true hearts were ready again to welcome and love him as of old, after his weary wanderings, may have tempo rarily unnerved and overpowered him and he have been momentarily unconscioui of what t i ne was uomg. The Wadesboro Argus gives the following additional particulars : We have had a talk with Mr. Thread -ill, who shot Kirby on Sunday night. He fays Kirby about 4 o clock scratched at his window, ana tnen went round and did the same at tne other end of the house. He (Threadgill) took gun and went out and haile i him, receiving no answer, and hearing a pistol cocked, fired. He then approached the staggering man and caught him in his arms, when he said " Ben vou The following article from the Boiton Post, on the cotton crop of 1SG0, which is now the all important subject of controversy, so far aa dollars and cents are concerned, will be found to be worthy the careful perusal of our read ers : . ' " In the season of 1S67 8 cotton touched its lowest price during Christinas week. Lastr season the lowest point was touched before the middle of November, say 22 cents for middling in southern markets, a fall ot about six cents per pound from the opening price of the season. But it had been discovered while that decline was in progress that the world's consumption of cotton had during the preced ing year so exceeded the world's supply, that the stocks on hand, which were 1,02,000 bales, October 1st, 18G7, had fallen to 614,- 000 bales October 1st, 1SGS. This .startling reduction of nearly 500,000 bales in the re serve during one year, showed that the world wanted more cotton than could be had at the price. Products and consumers accepted the teaching, and prices advanced gradually from twenty-two cents in November to"20 cent3 in February. At that price in Nqw Orleans and corresponding prices abroad, acheck was giv en to consumption. Cotton spinners and man ufacturers have generally done a losing busi ness since February last when working cot- i m i ill ton at market value, iraae would pear a price on cotton goods to correspond with the higher price of raw cotton, goods accumula ted in stocks at home and in the distributing markets, or were forced off at considerable losses. So now we find, in contrast with last year, that while the supply of cotton to the world during the year ending October 1st, 18G9, has been about 300,000 bales less than during the preceding year, the stocks remain ing on hand October 1st, 18G9, do not vary 30,000 bales from those of October 1st, 18G8, showing that the world did not want any in crease of supply at the price of that year, " The actual crop or production of the Uni ted btates for 18GS- 9 waj not more than 2,350,000 bales, and of that about 85,000 bales were used in the South, burnt, etc. The foreign export from it was les3 than 1,470,000 bales. The common estimate of the present crop is 2.750,000 bales. V e make no esti mate, but remind old cotton men that no dry season ver failed to exceed the largest esti mate, no wet season ever (ailed to fall below the minimum estimate in the actual, reckon ing the ' wet and ' dry' character from and after July 15th. " A crop of 2,759,000 bales would show an increase 01 -iuu.uuu Dales in tne xoreign ex ports if wanted at the prices. The lower range of prices during 18G7 '8, made con sumption outrun supply 478,000 bales. The hi2hr rang'; of 8GS-'9, has enabled a sup ply ot about d22.000 less to satisiy the con sumption. The difference is the sum of both say 800,000 bales. " From thee facts, it seems clear that a one price consumption extends; at another i contracts; th?it a price somewhere between the average of 1SG7- S, and the average of 18G8-'9, is necessary to give such an expan sion to the ues of cotton as will appropriate the increase in supply ; and that while the Elantt-rs must concede to that point, they old the power to prevent the fall to prices materially below that point, as occurred in 18G7. " India sends very favoiable reports of her cotton crop; the most favorable for many years, in decided contrast with those a year TT I i - 1 - 1 ail ago. lne crop was a partial laiiure, to tne A.

The result proved that both the unfavorable early reports and the report of Mr. torbes were correct. If the nattering promise ol thi3 year applies to an equal area, and shall be fulfilled, the supply ot India cotton may have an extraordinary increase. It is however quite tooearly to know anything ot tne vieia, or evenit it probabilities, which may be wholly changed after fruiting begins. If the promise of an abundant yield in India shall continue to December, and the current estimates of our crop be sustained, the discouragements of English manufacturers and spinners will give place to a hopeful renewal of activity by low er and safer prices ot the raw material.
