There have recently been arrivals
from the interior of q large stock of cot
ton and a considerable number of plan
tiers, and the business of the city has
experienced very encouraeinGreviyhl.
Planters are loud in their complaints
that, since the colored people have been
emancipated, they have generally de
serted the plantations and cannot be
induced to work, except under the COM
pulsionI of the military. In consequence
OF this desertion of negroes, the plan
tiers say the cotton and corn crops OF
the State will give little more than hall
an ordinary yield. rs
1t is estimated that through the havoc
and Reputation, consequent upon the
rebellion and its failure, and from the
emancipation of slaves, the value OF
property in-South Carolina, which was
four hundred millions dollars in 1850,
Inns been reduced to fifty millions atthe
present time. pi

1862 of all persons entering on the du-

his return here reported to the collec-
duties of his office. When being re-
questad to take the oath of office he de-
clined. As the case was precisely SINH
lar with the appointment of assessor,
the matter has been referred to the au-
thorities ut Washington. 1t is reported
that the high officials at Washington
don't regard the case as applicable to
disloyalists. il- ai..

against than SHINING. BE intends to
make his future home in New York.
Mastering out of troops continues, and
the interior of the State is being grndu-
ally stripped of their garrisOns. The
