An old gunth man, aged at sixty years, and pro witness against Hudson, confronted him yesterday at the Provost Marshal's olllcc, and, with tears, reminded him of the appeals which he made when he came to bin house for the purpose of plunder, and telling him that, however badly he had teen treated by him, he hail no disposition to do him an injury.

Four millions of bales is a high estimate for last year's crop of cottonf Iletween three and it half and four millions is the proper estimate, and which lias been raised regularly for a number of years. Of this not more than two millions will ever be brought to market.

The residue will have been destroyed bv tho rebels-themselves rather than to see it fall into the hands, even by purchase at a high price, of their hated opponents.
