From the official report of the Nation al Cotton. Exchange of America, sent from New,; Orleans i Septal 4 1882 we glean: some; interesting statistics. '"' The American cotton crop for 1881-'82 shows a large .falling off from the production of the previous year, after four years of steady increase. This will appear from tne 1 0110 wing- crop years bales. 299,796. 300,290. 687,097. 1877- , increase over 1876-7 1878- 9,.' " " 1877-8 1879-80, "t " 1878-9 1880-81,-. " 1879-SO- 844,498. 1881-82, decr'ee from 1880-8 11.149.702. Or to put in nn other view the crop of 1878 amounted to 4.773,865 bales; that of 1879 to 5,074,155- of 1880 to 5,7i,252; of 1881 to 6.605.750 f --while the cron of 1882 or 1881-82 turns out only 5,456,048 utueti. - ? Iff -the reports from, the different States Jforth Carolina and Florida are the only two cotton Statea whifih in- icreased their -production in 1881-82 all the others fell behind. In Uie disposal of the crop the follow ing figures will be interesting: ott .supply m lSO-81. 6.750.614 bales; hi 1881-83 5,73,079. Lonsumed by Northern spinners in 1880-81, 1,713,626; in 1881-82, 1,677,581. Consumed- by- Southern sninners in 1880-81, 22a,tll; in 1881-82, 286,954. xi any connaence couia be placed m figures or in the law of "supdIv and demand," as opposed to speculators, it would be reasonable to expect cotton to command a pretty figure for the coming season. The most gratifying part of the whole exhibit is the one showing that, the South is increasing her spindles and is the only country that consumed more cotton last vear than daring the year before.

A,White of this revenue district," has received bonds from one hundred and ninety-five distillers and there are applicationsf or between twenty-five and fifty more. We are glad to note that the Midland road is getting freights fromSmilhfield, also a good share from Goldsboro. Among the" freights fromi Smithfield was a car load of oak staves for Norfolk. Hurrah for the Midland ! We noticed on .--the ld Dominion wharf Tuesday morning r several bunches of green cotton stalks just taken from the field; and shipped to B. R.

He promises to put the district in first clais order; the buoys will be taken up and beacons put in their places, and everything will be done to make navigation safe both night and day. , The proceedings of the Republican convention at Polloksville, last Satur day, is sent us for publication, but it is rather lengthy. The following extract will give the drift of the feeling: 'Resolved 5, That the Hon. James E. O'Hara is an accomplished, educated gentleman, and far better educated than his opponent, . and for this reason he will and should be elected by at least five thousand majority. Death Amons llors cm. Mr. B. H. Thompson of.South Creek, who was in the city Friday, reports that thirteen horses have died in thatj neighborhood.dunng the last two weeks. The disease is blind staggers and not a single one attacked has recovered. Cotton for IHorning Showers. Mr. J. L. Rhem has a kind of cotton that the blossoms are rot affected by the morning showers as is the case with the ordinary cotton. He obtained the seed of a farmer near Deep Gully. It grows so as to let the water out which prevents the form from dropping. The Cotton Market. We note in the Raieigh Observer of Friday,' middling cotton quoted at 11J. On same day it was selling here at Ilk. It takes, however, good cotton to rade middling. The bulk of the nice cotton that is marketed here generally grades only strict low middling selling from i to i cents less than middling. Cotton Market. Sales at Cotton Exchange on Tuesday of 91 bales at prices ranging from 11 to 11 5-16. Among the sales we noted a lot of Lenoir county cotton : 5 bales from W. B. Pearce Esq., 9 bales from Mr. WVH. West: 19 bales brought down by Mr. J. C. Wooten and selling for Hi; and 14 bales sent by Mr. John Rhem and sold at 11 :33i. The market closed weak. Old Time .

She put back to New Berne, arriving here on Sunday morn ing, for repairs. She had about 80,000 feet of lumber, shipped bv Mr. Makeley of Hyde county. New Berne Cotton Market. We notice that the house of R411i Bros, of Norfolk, among the largest cot ton exporters in the United States, have established here a "grader," Mr. Fisk, in connection with their buyer, Mr. Matt Manly. The facilities here are now so great that New Berne ought to, and, we believe, will be the best cotton market in Eastern North Carolin, after Wilmington. The buyers make a marked difference between good and bad cotton and it wtll pay those bring; ing cotton here to handle carefully. New Advertisements. Einstein of Kinston tells of a "Grand Opening" on the 4th of October. Bob Bryant, of Kinston, wants to hear some one say, here s your mule." Clay Parrott has got in one of his selling-out" notions, and he had nearly as net give ins old saw-mill away il some one don't buy it. Mr. Shelburn expects to flatter the Kinston youths by giving them a pic ture so much better-looking than the originals he can't do that for the girls, however, for they are already "as pretty as a picture. " And last our JNewr Heme friends, Wm. Salter' & Co., offer shingles for sale. Some time ajro we had inquiries from Kinston lor a shinsrle dealer in New I Berne. We have found him. Send on your orders. J. W. Harreil offers to make and re pair boots and shoes, ami guarantees satisfaction. We have sufficient evi dence of his work to say that he makes a good fit and uses first-class stock. The Kinston. ' The new steamer belonging to the Neuse Kiver Transportation Company came in S'-iturday evening f rom.: Kins ton loaded with 203 bales of cotton a pretty fair start for a trial trip. She handles admirably on the river, and is a model boat for her business,, with one exception which will soon be remedied . she has not sufficient capacity to hold steam and a new steam dome will have to be put on. If she is run under four bells the water is being continually blown out of smoke stack.- She . was loaded up with merchandise and left for Kinston late in the evening. Funeral of the Iate S. N. Dewey. The funeral of Mr. S.' N. Dewey took place from Christ's church on Sunday p. m. at 4 o'clock, Rev. E. - M. Forbes officiating. The services of the church were sol emn and impressive, and the music by the choir appropriate and affecting. The remains were interred in Cedar Grove Cemetery, and the procession consisting of the friends of the deceased and members of the order of Knights of Honor,-was of great length. The burial servjee of the Knights of Honor was read at the grave by Mr. G. E. Tinker and W. F. Rountree, and the floral decorations were elaborate and beautiful. A Woman Murdered. Dr. Bates received information on Monday morning that a colored woman had been found in Bachelor's Creek, near the bridge on the Washington road and was supposed to have been drowned. The. doctor summoned a jury Of inquest and repaired to the spot when upon examination it was found that she had been choked to death, the points of the fingers being plainly visi ble. The body was recognized by sev eral witnesses as that of Fannie Wil liams. The evidence pointed to one Jim Boone, col., as the perpetrator of the, crime. He had been living with her for sometime and was last 6een with her on Saturday night between the bridge and Streets ferry coming to wards the bridge. He is known to have had several quarrels with her lately, and not long since she had him put in jail here for beating her.

Robbins, Captain of the Trent Club and R. L. Woodard, Captain of the Broad Creek Club, and after hav ing played 5 innings each, the Broad Creek Club having scored 18 to the Trent's 10 the rain came to their relief and a stop was put to the game leaving Capt. Woodard master of the situation. The dinner was served at the usual time and it would have done you good to see how that crowd stowed away the good things furnished by the hospitable la dies of the Broad Creek section, consist ing of meats of all kinds, fish, fowl, tarts, pies, cakes, and in fact eyery thing to tempt the a petite; and your humble servant held his own on this occasion as he will on a certain day in November next. Don't be too sure; it may be that your opponent will try some of the Broad Creek cake, and insert a finger in the pie before November. Ed. Jour nal. For that crowd I will tender to the lady managers, to wit: Mrs. Dr. Lindsey, Mrs. James Jones, (whose name was changed from Mrs. William F. Jones on the evening before, F. F.

Lupton, Mrs. Robert Wharton and many others whose names I did not learn, our heartfelt thanks for the good things and hearty welcome we all received. Notwithstanding the pour ing of the rain a good portion of the day, all seemed to enjoy themselves, and who could do otherwise when there was so many lovely faces to grace the occasion V Hog Island and Cedar Island being represented by both belles and beaux and as for Vandemere, Spring Creek and Broad Creek, there is no use for me to undertake the task of explanation. Swansboro Items. Visitors are leaving for home; only a dozen or so in town now. The farmers are very busy getting out their cotton; some are gathering corn while others are talking politics heavy.

I send two rib bones of a rattlesnake to you, I have part of his back bone 1 inches across, but can't send it in a letter. The snake was fifteen inches in circumference. These are not the lar gest bones. Mr. Bryan Hatsell killed the largest buck ever seen in this neighborhood this week: he had six snags ou a beam, and weighed, gross weight, 340 pounds, and was not fat either. Hatsell was afraid to eat him though the dear looked healthy. Col. W. J. Green, candidate for con gress, is booked for this place next Sat urday. It is said th.it the Col. is hard to beat in a political speech, and that he can knock the spots off Gov. Jarvis easy. How is that Governor ? It must be some prejudice against you on ac count of something some one don't like; perhaps-its the Quaker Bridge Road. Very healthy yet: some few cases of sickness only. Capt. Burns Smith is very sick with billious fever, and a little son of M. Russell, Charlie, is also sick with the same disease. The animals, four legged ones I mean, are very sick ly. The wild deer are dying with black tongue by the hundreds. Whew ! ! ! Ed. Journal.

Accounts are seen in every paper of the large an I flourishing schools in nearly all tho E istern counties," while Jones, with the exception of Mr. Rhode's school at Polloksville, has, as far as 1 have heard, not a single school. Is not this a very poor showing for the wealthy county of Jones ' We must do better, we nmt arouse ourselves on the all important subject of education; un less there is a change we will continue to sustain .ur reputation as the Rip Van Winkle of North Carolina. The children of the present "generation can not afford to grow up in ignorance and if more positive steps are not taken they surely will. Stonewall Items. Mr. O. D.
