THE PORT ROYAL BOOTY.

boat ia st arrived at Baltimore, from the invaders
feet at Port Royal reports the capture Of two millions
dollars worth of cotton. That this is monstrous exis
geration few facts will demonstrate. Beaufort Dis
trict O. according TO the census OF 1850, produced
only u 900 bales Of cotton whose value at $50 BALE
was $500 OOO The crop at the present time s about
the same. And, even If suppose the value to have
been doubled by the blockade it would only amount 10
81 OOO So that If tie Yankees possessed the whole
crop Of the District covering area Of between enc
and two thousand square miles, j. could not possibly be
worth more than 81 200 900 to them sum only little
over one half of that which they state the true one
But at present. they possess bua very small portion of
the crop Of the District This portion cannot possibly
exceed two or tire. thousand bales valued at most at
$780, 200; and the quantity, in all probability, will not
exceed few hundred bales. The other agricultural
productions which they may capture cannot exceed in
value $500 OOo This would make 5000 00e the highest
possible value at which the agricultural productions
which they may have seized be estimated. To get
this they have expended least 800 600 worth Of she
AID shot, besides losing twenty Of their vessels sunk
and disabled by the storms aud by batteries. Per-
haps $50, 900 piece would be very small valuation
for the lost vessels But II suppose that to be
the average the total loss of property by the desruc
ton Of twenty would be $1,000 900. Thus they have
pended 81 0Oo for 5000 900 worth Of our property,
