of his character, love TO his person, con-
fiIence in his word, submission to his
authority, and penilence for offences
against him. When the heart is habituat-

parents, i, is prepared the mole readily to
exercise them towards God. The prom

BY passing through portions of The Dis.

Sparranburg, and meeting al several wa.
,ering places, gentlemen from almost all
the Cotton growing Districts in the State.
| have enjoyed favorable advantages of
forming something like correct opinion
Of the growing crop in this State for the
present year, more correct perhaps than
the statements furnished by the public
press, which have been heretofore from
particularalocalities only. | have collect.
ed all the information in my reach both by
personal observations and communications
! from others. have carefully compared

suit, the use OF which cheeTfully sub
4ni, 10 your disposal, if you think, il can
$afford any interest to The readers Of your
paper. Ii isthe general opinion hat about
one. Fifth more land has been, planted in
cotton in our State the present than the
pas, year. The same ratio may prevail
in all probability throughout the Cotton
producing States, as The last year was
distinguished for the abundant supply of
grain and. provisions Of all kinds. To
counlerbalance this increase in the number
Of acres planted, it is confidently believed,
,hatithe deficiency in the stand. occasioned
either by not coming up, or by the depre-
; daton Of insects, and various injuries
by cold weather and rain, amounts 10 St
least one-fourth or fifth. Letus then sup
pose that one.fifth more land has been
planted, aud the deficiency in the stand TO
be one. fouEth or fifth, il will reduce the
present crop 10 an approximalinS equality
in the quantity os land with the past year,
Now, compare the present crop with that
of last year al this time, and Think it will
be readily admitted that The former was
more promising in every point Of view and
considerably in advance of this in mauri-
~. The gentlemen with whom have
conversed, with few exceptions, repre-
sent their cotton as being from two 10 three
weeks more backward than it was the past
year. In fact, the general complaint is.
that the cotton is late, and that The exccs-
sive rains have forced The weed into a
most luxriant growth, without correspond
ing limbs, blooms and forms, which has
injuriously retarded the natural lruclifica-
ton Of the plant. Very few gentlemen
make a favorable report Of their crops,
and those few>are enabled to do so from
the fact, that their lands are peculiarly
adapted to the growth of cotton, during
year ol,such Unprecedented disasters. On
red and yellow land, having jus. such a
portion OF sand as is compatible with the
requisite tenacily, and al the same time,
adapted 10 its preservation in pores and
friables condition, the colton is represented
10 beof good size, and the prospec, Of a
fair yield or product, 10 be promising. My
own observation confirms this statement.
Whereas, on the cold posloak & blackjack

tive Of water the cotton is inferior and
greatly missing. To these causes Of de-

ficienl crop, may be added another equally
luxurious in its effects on production, the

give the necessary cultivation to his fields,
in consequence Of the wet condition Of The

ments in the newspapers of the anticipated
production Of the growing crops in all the
Southwestern States, and assuming the
statements here made, in reference TO our
own, TO be correct data upon which TO pre-
dicate an opinion, in regard 10 the extent
of the present cron, | think it may be set
down as not exceeding in quantity that Of
last year. The same causes Of Injury to
The crops in this State have prevailed in
Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee,
and in portions of Louisiana and Florida,
and threaten to reduce the product there
TO something like the same ratio here. |
think, therefore, that il may be safely pre-
dicled, that the eutire crop of this, will not
exceed that of last year, even il it should
escape that dreadful scourge, the caterpil-
lar, which has already commenced its ra-
wages in several States. With regard to
price this winter, venture no definite OPT
MON. and yet, to take all The elements into
the calculation, which usually operate to
establish the price, | am persuaded. that
should approximate The truth, in conjeclur-
ing that cotton will range from ia to l5c.
per pound. The Corn crop will be abun-
dant over the entire State, and in some
sections even redundant. The Oat and
Rye crops are very good, and The Wheat
crops perhaps shade below the usual
average. Such is faithful picture in
prospect Of tie condition of the Stale for
the presen, year. exhibiting an abundant
