From Alabama. 
Gov. Parsons, in his Proclamation to the 
People of Alabama, saye:—“ There is no longer 
a slave in Alabama, It is thus made manifest to 
the world that the right of secession for the pur¬ 
pose of establishing a separate confederacy, based 
on the idea of African slavery, has been fully 
and effectually tried, and is a failure. Yet, amid 
all the ruin, suffering UDd death which have 
resulted fiom it, every political right which the 
State possessed under the Federal Constitution 
is hers to-day, with the single exception relating 
to Slavery. There are no slaves now in Alabama. 
The slave code is a dead letter. They who were 
once slaves are now free, and must be governed 
by the laws of Alabama as free men. It is the 
dictate of wisdom, and we owe it to ourselves 
and them lo produce the best possible results 
for both races, from the new order of things.” 
The New Orleans Picayune has intelligence 
from Alabama that a much larger breadth of 
ground has been planted to cotton than gener¬ 
ally supposed. The plant is everywhere healthy 
and vigorous, and no destructive insects have 
yet made their appearance among it. Corn Is 
splendid, immense fields wave rich with it, and 
the harvest will be much larger than ever gath¬ 
ered before. New flour aud wheat were long 
since in market, and the people will have plenty 
wherewith to drive the wolf from the door, and 
a surplus for market. 
WOOL MARKETS. 
Wool Markkt.—T be U. S. Economist ot July 29th, 
shows how decidedly favorable the prospects of the hold¬ 
ers of wool are. It says: 
“The inquiry for wool during (lie past week hits been 
nmto active, bnt the amount of business done ha* been 
rather small, from the fart Hint there Is but a suinll 
amontu ot wool In tbe market. The oldest wool dealer* 
are agreed that there never was *o *mnll a stock on hand

ures, winch buyer* consider beyond thetr reach, and 
which dealcra are confident will be readied before many 
days, us a Very little uholCB wool hat found IU way to tin. 
market. Some good but rather heavy Slate wool Im* 
been received and sold. The new wool that coinestn l* 
In very small lota, and la sold a- quick a* it Is put on the 
market, which beir.g ut lower figures than old Wool Is 
held at, it sells readily. The -mall ymtotltiex which liavo 
arrived Horn id aces West ol this State ate rather low. 
and have, been bought at flgnu* corresponding, while-

that price. The prospects are encouraging for a eqou 1*11 
trade, and Hie maimer la which cold kettw uo make* im-

production at n good price, and were it riot lor tear of

at lour o’clock on Sunday morning, July 30tb, 
for Liverpool, with a full freight, load of cotton 
and cheese, and some two hundred and fifty

went well until about ten o’clock A. M. of the

board. A boat was lowered and efforts made to 
save him, but they were unavailing. He had 
come on board in a state delirium tremens, ami 
had been pnt in a straight jacket by the surgeon, 
and in this condition he threw himself overbourd. 
The excitement caused by this accident sub¬ 
sided abont one P. M., when the alarm of tire 
was sounded. All bands rushed on deck, and as 
the fire was in the fore part of the vessel, all the 
second • class passengers flocked aft amid the 
wildest excitement. 
Orders were given by tbe captain and officers 
that no person should get into the boats without 
permission, and that the firstmuu who attempted 
to force hisxvay Into a boat before all the women 
and children had been taken off, would be shot, 
Tbe order was cheerfully acquiesced iu by all tlie 
gentlemen in tbe first cabin. A vessel was soon 
discovered at a distance of eight miles, and tbe. 
put under lull bead of
