TO ADVERTISERS.

As this is the season when most business
pcD enter into contracts for the year, We
Mould direct attention 10 our yearly rates of
advertising. Merchants and others will find
that by contracting for u column, or less by
the year, Il large amount Of advertising can
be had II small cost. BESIDES being cheap
or to the advertiser, the rule by contract is
better for many reasons. 1t leaves TO room
for mis-, Understandings. Frequent changes
will br allowed, also the utmost pains taken
TO display TO advantage.

giving. Us a fair average, but little more
than half a crop throughout the State
In tennessee, the two most important dis
tricts are estimated II half of a crop, n
at W thirds, and one full crop, (Mr.
Readdy's) where the cotton is manufac-
tured at Nashville, and does not affect the
estimate at the ports. North Carolina
gives a falling off of one third. In Flor
ida, the crop is estimated MS short. in
South Carolina, the average deficit is cs-
tima,ed at slightly over 20 per cent. 1t
will be sceu from this. that a general csti-
mate of one fourth deficit, on the entire
cotton crop, would be less than might be
stated upon the above dgta still, Lowcv-
er, lsl us make the estimate upon that ba.
sis, aud assuming, as | hink, correctly,
the real crop grownm 1885, have been
100000 bales, and the present crop as
omc-iourta short, being $4,000 bales, we
have, AS the crop grown this year, 2,&7t,
600, Which will not be greatly exceeded,
notwithstanding there is, in ali the newer
States, increased cultivation, and a great
cr number Of hands employed. Many Of
these hands can only pro luce an increase
cd quantity III their new fields, while their
labor is Il loss TO the Sta;es from whence
they were taken.
1t may be well remarked in this con
n~srtion, that while there is an increase Of
production from extended cultivation in
tn G never States, there is a correspond
ing falling off from the dcteriora, on tax
ing place constantly OF old plantations in
the older States. 1t is. however, equally
true that there are hands carrie out from
the non cotton-growing States, whtsc Ia
Dor adds to the annual increase OF the eui-
ture Of cotton. Therefore, in view o. all
these things, in making a liberal estimate
of,hc actual crop, we may add 225, 900
bales to the number estimated above,
which gives the outside total AS 100000
bales to the number estimated above,
which gives the outside total as 2,700,,
600 bales, which, probably, will be found
to be about the amount produced.

As the PROVISIONS OF this bill, " hich came
very neal being IN Act Of the last Lcsisla.
ture, may not be very generally known, We
submit its main features. The bill proposes
TO establish a system Of Common Scaools,

Schools, to lcNcy n tax upon the inhabitants
of each Judicial District. for the building uG
one OF more School houses. ana for the sup

other half. These Schools to b. for III.
Asnsft IS eyety body. both rEh and poor,
free of charge.
A similar system is said 10 baye worked
well in Charleston, and dOubil, - i wcuId
work well there aud many othcE places
again. but whether it would do as well il
some of tho poorer Districts, is exceedingly
questionable. The Commissioners in X, v
ing a tax aust look ns vel! to the means OF
tue people as To their wants, and the AMOUNT
Of money Eaised, must necessarily be some
what in proportion, TO the extern OF those
means aud as tie wants Of a District are
generally large ia proportion as her means
are limited, the State, by furnishing 4 Ike
sum to the amount raised, will be expend.
ing the smallest sums 10 the most needy
portions Of the Commonwealth. The very
same objection to the basis upon which the
present Free School funds are disir buted, is
apparent in this.
We axe glad, However, TO see any move
p'akirg hat may ultimately lead in the right
direction, believing that the funds Of the
State. when rightly distributed, canuo, b.
too largely expended in The great cause of
education. We know il IL easier to find
faults in a system than To suggest a better,
but when less attention is paid to the pTia-
ciple Of getting back what they give n
plan looking more c~losely TO the wants OF
the people may be adopted. which NAV re-
dound to the credit Of our State, and prove
of infinite blessing to tn. great mass Of her

From Washington

~ASIiINGTON, Dec. 80.
The two Houses OF Congress met this
morning., the members generally in good
condition. The Senate received several
executive communications, but none OF
imporlancc-one giving detailed in:orlna
ton touching the wooden dock at Pensa-
cola. Several petitions were presented
and referred, \ resolution was adopted
calling for ali the items i'll Gen SCOTS
claim to extra pay, together will the cor.
respondence 10 relation :lieye,o. The res
olution previously passed only called for
the pay actually allowed under the pres
ent law. The Senate confirmed the nom .
ination Of Pcrsifer +. Smith as Brigadier
General, the Office created by Congress for
the benefit of Gen. Shields.
In the House, one hundred and fifty
seven members answered TO their names
this morning. SeveEa! Communications
were received from the Executive depart
mcnts. The POSTMASTER General asked
an appropriation of five hundred and thir-
ty-iivc thousand dollars .or the foreign
mail. Most OF this service is paid for
through the navy department. a resolu
ton was adopted calling OIL the Secretary
of the Interior for plans and estimates Of
a new building for his department, Of tue
government. The building at present oc
cupied belongs to the patentecs Of the
county, having been built exclusively out
of the Patent fund. Resolutions of the
South Carolina Legislature were present
ed by Mr.. Keitt, praying that Port Royal
harOor might be fortified, and q naval de-
poi established at Beaufort. Tnese 1850
lutions were referred to The Naval Com
mittee, and ordered to be printed. The
House took up the Consular and piplo,
matte Appropriation bill, which led to
much debate. The item of twenty-five
thousand dollars for ~tosular pupils was
stricken out. The bill Of last session left
it discretionary with the President to ap
point twenty five consular pupils, to act
as clerks and be trained in consular du-
duties. The idea OF a school killed the
provision. The bill was passed, and the
House adjourned.
Mr.. Field visited the Prcsidcu: and Sec.
~re,aries to-day aud exhibited to them a
piece Of the submarine telegraphic cable
which lie brought with him from New
York They were highly pleased and
manifested 4 good deal OF interest in the
enterprise. A number Of Senators and
members also called to sea it a. Wizards
