ANNUAL CorToN SrATEMENr.-The" can
nual statement" made up at the close OF
the commercial year is published at great
length in the New Orleans Price Current
Of the 1st inst. 1t appears that the whole
crop of 1S48 is estimated at 2,7OO.O0O
bales, showing an increase OF 303,4O6
bales over the crop of the previous year.
The season closes with the stock OH hand
at New Orleans, including all on ship
board not cleared, of 15,840 bales; being
the smallest stock since 1916. The editor
says:
"It will be seen by the above summary
that the largest crop ever produced In
the United States has been disposed Of
leaving Oh hand to enter into the supply
OF the coming season. lighter stock than
has been known for years past, as the
whole quantity in the southern shipping
ports is only 46, 194 bales, and the amounts
held back in the interior is known to be
unusually small 1t is gratifying also to
notice that. Notwithstanding the very
gloomy opening of the season, and the
marked depression of prices, gradual
amendment has taken place with the
progress of the year, and that much
higher range of prices was attained at
the close, than the most sanguine could
have anticipated, as it was apprehended
that the supply, in view of the troubled
state of Europe, would prove excessive,
whereas the result shows proportionate-
ly increased consumption both in Europe
and our own country"

The MEMPHIS CoNvENTIoN.-Tuesday
the 23d day of October next is the day
fixed upon for the meeting of the Pacific
Rail Road Convention at Memphis, and
as it is all important that the southern
counties of this State be fully represented,
we re-publish below the names OF the
delegates selected by the meeting held
at this place, to represent this county, and
hope that majority of them at least. will
appreciate the necessity OF attending.
The counties adjacent which have not as
vet selected delegates should do SO i'm
mediately, so that they may have some
time for making the necessary preparatory
arrangements.
By the way. what has become of the
committee appointed by the meeting here,
to gather such information as may be
deemed necessary to place before the
Convention, in their proper light, the ad-
vantages which the proposed route thro'
the Southern portion of this State Offers
Have they carried out the wishes of the
meeting, and if so, would it not be advis-
able to submit their report to the people
at some early day?
The adjournment of the Convention
from the time first proposed, seems to have
had a tendency to destroy the interest
which we thought had been fully aroused
on a subject so important to this section
of the State, and we fear, like Bob Acre S
courage, it has oozed out at our fingers
ends.
If our citizens intend to take any ac-
ton in the premises, now. is the time
Resolves, are mere empty jargon without
action-we want active intelligent dele
gates-men determined to accomplish
something. We have many such, fully
able to spend the time, and to bear the
expense of the trip. Hampstead county
should be fully represented, not by mere
corporals guard, but by such number as
the intelligence of her citizens demand,

DELEGATES TO THE CONVENTION.

The cotton crop in this section of the
State, already severely injured on the
uplands by the heavy rains, and almost
altogether destroyed on the river bottoms
by the overflow, is now threatened with
total destruction by the caterpillar and
boil worm We have heard of several
places Oh Red river, where the overflow
had left small patches, of their being en-
tirely stripped of leaves and young bolls
by the caterpillar, and we have also
heard Of their making their appearance on
the upland plantations in this and the ad-
joining counties, where whole fields have
been stripped in few days, of the leaves
and of the young bolls which would have
made good cotton. On many plantations
the crop has been totally destroyed, and
as general thing, we do not think in this
section of the State it will average one
fifth of an ordinary yield.

FROM CENTRAL AMERIcA-THE IsTHMUs
RIGHT OF WAY-The New York Herald
has received advices from Bogoto to the
lst of July. A letter TO that paper says:
The late treaty, securing to the United
States the right of way to the lsthmus OF
Panama, it would seem, was formed tor
no other purpose than 10 raise the wind.
if the published correspondence between
the late president Mosquera, to his SON
in-law in New York, Gen. Herran, be
true 1t is stipulated that Aspinwall ~
Co., the contractors, pay to this Govern
ment 100000 francs as bonus. The
100000 francs is the only thing looked
for, as all else is forgotten IN securing It,.
The correspondence says: "Concede to
Aspin wall & Co. whatever they may ask,
but Immediately secure the 600, 900 francs.
Retain 100000 for your own use, and
remit the balance to my brother. in Lon

of office, by the constitution, runs two
years into that of the President elect,

tary, was formerly member OF Congress

editor of the Santa Martha Gazette.
