! Trn CorroN GRor M. Gsoathmsy, has
Esti0,ates and his Defencc.--We had the honor
Yesterday 70 be waited on by Mr.. H B. Gwath-
,nev. whuse large estimates of the present Cotton
crop have been the subject of considerable COM
ment. and some severe structures in the newspa-
ners and of hssripg his defence. Though we
think. as we havs heretofore expressed ourselves
that he is far above the mark, we satisfied of
his sincerity and the correctness of his motives.
He assured us most solemny and earnestly, that
he had not, as has been charged, vot1nteered his
opinions, and travelled about from place to place,
to eyv dorm the markets but when asked for
them gave them frankly and honestly. He also
called our attention to this important fact that his
estimates, which have been considered so extrava-
giant as to subject him to the imputation OF ex-
aggerating the extent of the crop from improper
and interested motives, were made before he knew,
or could possibly have known, of any disaster to
the crop.
We repeat that we have thought, as we still do
that the interest of all concerned will always be
promoted by knowing the truth as nearly as pract-
cable. We have, therefore, sought for and pub
kshed from time to time, all the reliable informa-
ton we could obtain, both pro and con, from all
sections of the Cotton region and it is but fair
that both sides Of this interesting controversy
should be seen, we transfer to our columns, at the
request of Mr.. G., from the New York Courier and
Enquirer, his own defence. We have published
some structures on his views, and we therefore
deem this but an act of justice to him. We freely
admit his right to express his opinions with free
dom, but at the same time we claim for ourselves
the right Of commenting upon them in good tenn
per and respectful language. We regret that h
has thought it necessary in some of his communi
cations to use hard words in abiding to the view
of those who have differed with him, and anon.
whom we are, Of course, included. He authorizes
US to say to our correspondent, A friend G
Messrs. Talcott & Co." that he has no wish t
| make bets on this issue.
