How tne Rsbbers are RaffIed.

The Columbia South CGTOilRidR publishes the fol.
lowing interesting extract from private letter
Edisto island is nearly laid in ruins. Mr. J. Mi
kel Mrs. Hopkinson, and Mr.. l. Legare, have all
burned their entire crops, negro houses, barns &c
and at meeting of the planters this has been uni
versaIly determined on. The same spirit actuates
the owners Of all the Sea island plantations fu ly
EXPECT to hear that the entire Sea island crop of this
State will meet similar fate. None will be saved
for all is in the fields or gin houses thus twenty
thousand bales, the product of this State amounting
to two millions five hundred thousand dollars, will
be destroyed by the hands of the proprietors them
selves rather than it shall fall into the possession
of our Vsndal enemies, and have no reason to be-
lieVe that Georgia will pursue any other course
Her people are as noble and selfsacrifcug as ours
The Sea island crop of last year was estimated at
forty thousand bales, and this year the favorable
seasons made the planters calculate on forty-hve
thousand bales.
Should the Vandsls overrun Florida, and make
any demonstration on the Sea island producing
portions of that State, you may expect the
planters there to follow example, and thus will
the entire fine staple crop of the Confederscy be
totally destroyed estimated in value at 500 to $3.50
a bale from four TO five millions but this is rot
all The cultivation of this article will not be re-
sumed while the war lasts 1t is known to you that
the seabcard of South Carolina Georgia and
Florida are the only regions of the earth where
fine and extra fine cotton; termed Long Staple can
be successfully produced. Now the production of
this article is indispensable to the manufacturers
of Bolton, Lancashire, and many other of the dis
trictS in England, France, Germany and Switzer-
land. There is no substitute for it.

A Grievance Not TO be BOrno.


THERE'S one thing that must be done ard done
At any hazard. American spies must be put down
in England. 1t is intolerable that the Liverpool
exchange should be sinfested with RewTork and
Washington no detectives in plain clothes that in
Liverpool dining saloons and bar rooms and
counting rooms Eugiishmen must be careful what
they say about the Federal or Confederate States,
lest they compromise some one or other, or open
Fort Lafayette to their businesa partners in New
York or elsewhere. There, however, the evil is
not said to stop, for goods in transtu alleged
to have been tempered with by unknown hands
for fear they should be contTaband.
Such practices cannot be allowed in
this county, and their prevention on
board English steamers should also, as
far as possible, be suppressed. In the way
Of suppression at sea the difficulties, of course,
are great for the retention on board an Eng
