Wade Hampton.

We find an article in the New York Nears,
of the 31st ult., on the reported election Of
Gen. Wade Hampton as Governor Of this
State, from which we extract the following
tribute to this gentleman's gallantry in tho
past, and to his aincerity and loyalty to the
Government and to the restoration policy
of President Johnson at the present time:
''For State officers, the South ought not.
for one moment, to listen to policy AS a
sovereign, every State of this Union must
be mistress OF her own affairs. And South
Carolina. like Mississippi, does herself
honor in asserting her truth by placing at
the head of her civil government one Of her
most distinguished sons, even though he
has been eminent as rebel soldier. \

as synonym of truth and honor. The
political convictions which he held in private
having been subjected to an arbitrament
which demanded his life as test of their
sincerity, he accepted the demand sword
in hand; and, call him what radicalism will,
rebel, o. traitor villain, the great ma
jority of mankind will hold him made Of
the stuff that constitutes patriots. And
ms faith to his conviction is proof as true
as Holy Writ of his faith to his solemn

deniable evidence of the truth of the allie
glance which he stands ready to pledge to

formally he may be. by the express grant

which he has put in before all men of his
profound good faith, declares that Wade

Cotton.

We find an interesting article in New
York paper-the -1nericdn NatesmGn-on
the resources Of the South. This journal
says that exhausted and prostrated as the
Southern States have been by the war, the
trade which has sprung up between them
and the city of New York, since the return
of peace, is matter of as much surprise
as pleasure to their merchants. It is the
cotton of the South, hidden away in holes
and corners during the war; that is finding
its way to market up the Mississippi and
up the seaboard. These reserves of cotton
have been estimated at two million bales
iii all but a million and & half will rrcha-
bly, be nearer the aggregate in the South
at the time of Lees surrender. This ag-
gregatc, however, will so q great way to
put the cotton States upon their legs again.
if disorSanizinG politicians can only be
kept from any serious interllcdtllng with
the practical Southern restoration policy
of President johnson.
The Statesmen goes OF, to say tia: the
question of the most pressing and vital
Importance to the country, people, Co
vernMent aud Treasury, is the speediest
possible development of the agricultural
staples of the South to aid us in settling
our commercial deficiencies, iii sustaining
the burden Of our taxations and meeting
the obligations Of our national debt. Our
financial obligations must be met; and
without the rich resources Of the South
we shall be puzzled and sorely tried to
meet them. Herein lies the wisdom of
President Johnson's restoration policy.
With regard to a single staple. Cotton
the Statesman says that in 1860. the year
just before the war, the export value of the
cotton crop Of the United States swelled up
to the splendid figure of 1922, 900, 900. Now,
if the cotton States can be fully restored as
members of the Union in good standing
during the coming winter, the Statesman
estimates that the country will get from
them next Eear as much as one-haf the
cotton crop Of 1860, which. at three times
the prices of that year under a glutted
market, will be equal to the addition of
S34S, ,000, 900 to the substantial wealth of
the country in our commercial exports,
and this on the single article of cotton.
1t remains to be seen how far the States
man is correct in it's estimates, or how far
the arrangement in our system of labor
may effect the quantity of Southern pro-
ducts for the next few years.

THE COTTON CRoP.-A correspondent Of
the Boston Post, writing from New Orleans.
estimates the cotton crop of Texas this
year at least 10000 bales. He thinks the
whole crop raised in all the South will not
fall much short Of 100000 bales. The
amount of cotton thus far received al New
Orleans is 1872, $50 bales. He estimates the
number of bales in the South at the close
Of the war at 1860, 900. His calculations,
he says, are based upon careful inv estiga-
ton, and he feels sure they will prove near
j. correct.
