NEw YoEE, July s.-One of the Herald's
eorre' pondeHts who has recently been tray
cling extensive Y through South Carolina, is
satisfied that the amount of cotton still re-
mqining in the interior Of that State is very
large, exceeding any estimste which has
yet been published. There is much Diff
Guilty in getting it 20 the seaboard, owing, in
a considerable degree, to the sloz progress
which is being made By the railroad eompa-
mics in repairing their lines. These roads
were destroyed by General Sherman, and
the iron to relay the tracks has yet to be
bought, and the money 10 buy it with will
have to be borrowed at the North.

currency shattered the faith of the South
Carolina planters in paper currency of all
kinds, That they generally prefer ten cents
per pound in gold Cor their cotton to fifteen
cent in greenbucks.
