tfon ef the New Troops.

For the past month tie freight train Of the Hlinoi.
Central Railroad has daily left this place with from
800 to 400 bales Of cotton About 1000 bsesae here
on the levee waiting shipment aud more arriving
/ notice that many of the bales bound with osk
hoops instead Of rope. The passenger traffic this
road was never better.
Tie growing cotton crop in this part Of the State
looks as well as ever ! Jaw it in Tennessee. The
amount which viii be picked will depend upon the
length of the season, for the plant blooms and rpens
I'll fiost. l estimate the crops in 30 of the Southern
counties at 1900 acres, aud if we suppose the yield
10 10 so low 200 ID Per acre, the amounts raised
will bs one million trO hupdrcd thousand Tound',
a. tir0 thousand t0Vr humrcf bales. This Ii low
estimate, but ] think it safe 20 say there VII he

own use. j not prepared al preseut 10 state
Whistler much more or whether lefs, will be pro-
duCed from the rest Of the State but u were called

two-thirds as much. Tie very favorable season
tss year will encourage every one who has laLted
cotton, and rext year ten tiues ~ unch VII he
