The Charleston Courier of the 18th inst, con-
taius table CLING the relative amount Of cotton
sent to Market up the present time, for this and
last year-making the receipts of the present sea
son 21,61l greater than lat the same period last
season.
The Augusta Constitxtionalist doubts the acou-
racy of the table, and..gves the following figures
as the result of its calculation:
Receipts to latest dates 1867, 1,729,7I6
e." 1866, 1,724 843
Increase this year, 4873
It is conceded by all parties that, compared with
TIE previous year, there has been an increase in
the receipts; aud yet it is equally well determined
that the yield of last year was greater than the
yield of this. We'must therefore conclude, either
that the good prices for sometime offered has
brought the present crop earlier into market, or
that good deal of last years crop was brought
over.
The general impression seems to be that cotton
will continue to advance. Some persons think it
will reach higher figures than it has for many
| years. 1t would 81 EN-, on the contrary that the

SIDNEY 5. BOYCE, Editor,

Our State election is over Resulting for
good or for bad as it has. we have the pleasure
of knowing that there has been Free Speech
allowed, and questions unsparingly discussed.
there is or was but one important question be-
fore the people-that of Freedom and Free La
Dor, or Slavery and Slave Labor. And after
setting aside the influence of a few unprncipled,
immoral demagogues, who have seized upon
hobby both disgraceiul to themselves and inju-
rious to our State morality and prosperity. we
shall have largely increased majority of the
popular vote for Free Labor and Free Speech
The canvas has been less animated and excl
ting, and the vote will naturally be much
smaller, than on the previous State election.
But the people are none the less determined to
extend the war into the enemy's country-and
there wage it till victory comes As the war is
over, and there is now but gathering up of
the dead aud wounded, and the record of the
victory, on hand, the people will expect larger
space devoted to 'useful information until
another contest approaches. We give place to
our contributors this week, and shall be happy
Ito hear from others.

cepts of the gospel, as to justify American
Slavery by the mild system of servitude among
the Hebrews.
The Bishop refers to the septennial jubilee
by which the Hebrew slave was released from
Slavery; but he contradicts the fact that all
other slaves ameng the Hebrews were eman-
cipated at the close of every forty-nne years.
He says that the heather slave descended
from father to son in perpetuity." A general
jubilee was to be celebrated by the Hebrews
every fifIieth year, and for the express pur-
pose of preventing perpetual Slavery. " And
ye shall hallow the fftieth year, and proclaim
liberty throughout all the land unto all the
inhabitants thereof; it shall be jubilee unto
you; and ye shall return every man unto his
profession, and ye shall return every man UNI
to his family."-Lev. XIV: 10.
In his blind zeal in support of Slavery, he
has taken the liberty to contradict the Scrip
ture. This is however, to be expected; for
the most spccious defence of Slavery invol-
YES falsehood. He was, perhaps, aware that
perpetual Slavery could receive no sanction
from the temporary institution of Hebrew
Slavery; hence, he was driven to the neces-
sity Of abandoning his defence or contradict
the Scripture What is this, bnt kind Of
religious infdelity that is more destructive tc
the spirit of Christianity than Atheism itself
1t is, perhaps, better to deny the existence O
a God, than ascribe to Him attributes that
are at war with the clearest principles of jus
tice. In the language of Jefferson, every
true Christian will not hesitate to declare
that, The Almighty has no attribute tina
takes sides with Slavery" A.s.B.

Prison Disoipline.

Is the American system of Prison Discipline
eiormatory and what proportion OF the Grim
inals under its influence are reformed by it!
The above questions were asked, few days
since, of number of gentlemen promiscuously
met in the Office of Clinton IN. Y State Pris-
on, including some of the officers employed in
it. The answers given were widely different.
First. one who appeared to he well Informed on
other subjects, stated his belief that nine tenths
of the prisoners were reformed. This was met
by an assertion from one of the officers that he
apprehended there were not more than one in
twenty that were sufficiently improved to take
respectable position in the community An
other read over the list of prisoners, giving, as
he went along. the status Of each; and it was
evident there were many there on their second
some on their third; and few on their fourth
conviction also his belief that many of those
who ad finished the term of Imprisonment fol-
lowing their first conviction turned up in some
other part of the Union and became inmates Of
other prisons.
1t was distressing to find the public sentiment
of the inhabitants outside the walls of the pris-
on SO hostile to the criminals within-the ex-
citement produced by the note of alarm given
on the escape of prisoner, was spoken of with
a relish truly saddening. On the other hand
it GsSs k:fGing to find amohg the officers quite
a different feeling, some of them expressing
their conviction that much of the Improvement
of the criminals depended upon the kind man
ner in which the rules Of the prison were en-
forced.
The inhuman practice of fogging is abolish

preferable to the cold bath that haa taken its
place. We were shown the machine in which

The Stealing of Fruit.

The purloining of fruit has become so
common and extensive in all populous sec
tions of the country, and especially in the
suburbs of our villages and cities, as to rem
der it eminently worthy of Legislative action.
Much of the evil, which is annually becom-
ing of greater magnitude, is the result of the
lax public sentiment which has 50 long pre-
vailed on the subject throughout the country
u sentiment so accommodating that one
would suppose the injunction Thou shalt
not steal, was not intended to apply to fruit,
however choice or highly priced. Indeed, SO
utterly at fault is public sentiment, that many
who have depredations committed on their
fruit, hesitate to prosecute the offenders,
when discovered, fearing that such proceed
ing would hardly be sustained by the commu-
nifty. Now we submit that all this is wrong
that there is no good reason why the fruit
thief who prowls about in the night when
honest people are asleep, for the purpose Of
plundering fruit gardens and orchards, should
not be held up to the scorn and contempt of
the community, and placed in the same cate
CORY as the sheop-thief the robber of hem
roosts, and the burglar.
We trust the public will not only frown
upon the reprehensble idea that it is not
criminal to steal fruit, but that the people
will ask their representatives-the law-mak-
ers of the State-to take such immediate ac.
tion in the premises as the great and growing
evil justly demands.
I The criminal practice flor we insist thai
fruit-stealing is crime, and should be pun
isHed as such) not only causes much loss anC
vexation to growers of fruit, but undoubted
ly deters many people from attempting it
cultivation. In truth, we know many wht
possess plots of ground admirably adapted t.
fruit, and who would delight in its culture
who are deferred from the attempt solely OIL
this account--people who entertain the we'll
founded belief that all their care and expens
would prove fruitless. The evil not only Of
fects those who possess pecuniary ability, ant
would engage in fruit culture as pleasure
but is positive damage to many persons o
limited means, who could, were it removed
derive great advantage from this branch o
industry and production. Indeed, all classe
are affected to greater or less extent, ant
we are surprised that the public does not rise
as one man, in condemnation of nuisanc
which is fast becoming too outrageous to b
longer endured.
