These deductions may be correct We do not feel
disposed to dispute discuss their authenticity or
nonauthenticity, not being called upon to do SO. But
we adhere to our original estimate that the cotton
crop Of 1856 will come very near the neighborhood of
$780, 600 bales. Time which tries us all, including
cotton bales, will speedily determine the value Of the
various calculations that have been made.
