The Heralfs jackson (Miss) correspon.
dent says strong fears are expressed in re-
gard to next years cotton cropin Mississippi.
The depredations of the contending armies
have left the fields, gin-houses and other me-
cessaries for the production of the staple in .
very 6laFddaesd condRiea, and there is also
3 great scarcity of stock and implements in
dispensable to its planting, culture snd pre-
paratiou for market. Added to this the plan
ter generally seems to lack the energy and
work under the rev order Of things, and in
the matter Of Incidence the egroes are dis
pOeed 70 initiate those Who foem1f we're their
masters. This correspondent thinks II the
planters would set an example of industry,
the Ftsedmen would not be slev in following
it, as has been illustrated in several cases in
the State where the matter has been tried.
| There is great demand for Northern over
seers, rs they have much more influence with
the Freed negroes than Sontherners, and the
planters are Offering large salaries for men to
s1periatend their work. ,~sA,- sssH

absorbs more attention than any other sub
ject, and the politicians are actively ct work.
Among the people, men Of the Wade Hamp.
ton school, our correspondent states, are the
favorite candidates for members of the Legis-
lature, which is TO meet on the 25th. The
duty will devolve upon the Legislature Of
electing two United States Senators, and the
general opinion is that Gov. Perry and Mr.. J.
B. Campbell win be chosen.
| Gen. Bennett, commanding IN Charleston,
has been informed of the departure for that
place from Northern cities, Of between 400
| and 500 thieves, and men of that class About
have been arrested by Gen. Bennett order.
The Times Savannah correspondent says
that the Manhattan, which arrived YESTERDAY,
has brought the important news Of . general
lnsurrection in the Department of Oaiaco,
Mexico. The Republican General Ficquerra
by his success in Tehucan, obtained greater
supplies of money and arms than was suppo-
sed. He was able to pay and equip large
| force. he is said to have collected 500, 900
and l., 400 muskets- For more than . month
it has been fonnd impossible to send the mail
to Oajaco by the most direct and usual road,
| which passes through the district called Ca
vado. Over this part Of the department and
Surea, the Republican chief next extended
his control, until, for the extent Of party
leagues, the Imperial Government Was ignor-
ed. The work Of enlisting goes on to lend
their aid. Several officers have lefi Oa;sco.
The Tsses' Washington special sys we
! gave, some days since, statement Of the
different appropriations made ~ the last ses-
sion Of Congress- amounting to something
lover $S22. Co., 900. It.should be known in
cluded as appropriations for the War and
Navy Departments, of which not more than
ens-Aalf viii be used, thus reducing the total
1 Of appropriations about $500, O06 600. and
consequently the actual definite appropria-
tons will not amount to more than, say $522,.
O00, 900. To this sum should be added the
indefinite appropriations which were omitted
in our first statement. The indefinite appro-
priations are for payment Of horses and other
property loa or destroyed in the militAxy SER
vice, $500, GOO; for repayment to importers

call was made by the other delegates, aad in

The abolition Of martial law in Kentucky
does net, as supposed, settle all the diAicul-
ties there. The chief dificaly of Ill reu,ains

thority, gave passes 70 an negroes to 70

by any other cause. The State courts deny
the validity Of his action, ~ they still recog
nize the institution Of slavery al existing In
the State, and are now enforcing the law,
which prevents the employers from hirine
slaves without consent Of the masters. In
Vulnerable Law suits are the consequence,
while those who wish to procure labor, de-
prived of their own negroes by military au-
thorlty, are prevented from hiring others by
civil authority. The free ones roam the eoun-
try or congregate in camps, become demoral-
i.ed, and either steal or stsrve, as the negroes
thus freed cannot by any possibility be rein
| stated. The only solution of the matter is to
suspend the action Of the State courts till the
legislature, which meets IN Noyember, can
pass the Constitutional amendment. Ken
lucky is the greatest sufferer in the South
from the hide bound tenscity with which she
clings to dead instiMtion. Yss
