The South Carolina Legislature ad-
journed week before last. Among the
measures adopted was an act securing
to freedmen the right to make and en-
force contracts, sue and be sued, to
give evidence, and to purchase, lease
and sell real estate and personal prop
erty, and to enjoy all legal remedies the
same as whites; and also to be punished
alik with widths for the same offence
The next of the State Court is post
poned until spring. Measures were al
so adopted by the Legislature to sup
ply corn to the destitute, to establish a
penitentiary system, and to authorize a
loan in aid of rebuilding the burnt dis
trict of Charleston.

FERTnE-The banks of the Nile, nor the
bottoms of California, do not produce better
lands than are to be found in the eastern
portions of North Carolina. A gentleman
who has recently visited that section, states
that he saw field of corn, of $50 acres,
which the best judges say will yield 10000
bushels This is regarded as extraordinary
for the present season. Lands producing,
without manure, from fifteen to twenty bar
rels per acre, are common in that region.

Calvin j. Rogers, ESQ.

We are requested to state that this gentle
man. who is one of the candidates for the
House of Commons in Wake, will be preven-
ted, by imperative private engagements,
from making the entire canvass of the Coun-
ty, though he will be present at some of the
gatherings. Mr.. Rogers, however, is gener-
ally well known throughout the County He
stands squarely in favor of the Presidents
policy and in unqualified opposition to the
Howard amendment.-Sentinel.
Unqualified opposition to the Howard
amendment' must mean that in no event
will Mr.. Rogers vote for it. Very well. No
one has assumed to bind Mr.. Rogers or any
one else to certain course of policy. As a
Union man, he is free to do the best he can
for his country. We shall not censure him
for his course, though we regard it as little
singular that he has chosen the Sentinel for
his organ to the neglect of the Standard.
AS good deal is said just now by the
Sentinel and Others about the Presidents pol
icy, we beg leave to present the following
letter to Gov. Sharkey, as embodying a part
Of that policy:

EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 1865.

Cor. W. L. Sharkey, Jackson, Mss
am gratified to see that you have organ
lied your convention without difficulty.
hope that without delay your convention
will amend your State constitution, abolish
ing slavery and denying to all future legisla-
lures the power to legislate that there is
property in man also, that they will adopt
the amendment to the constitution of the
United States abolishing slavery. If you
could ertend the e1ecti0e franchise to all per-
sons Of color aoho read the constitution Of
the United States az English and aerite thei,.
names, and to all persons Of color aoho opn
real estate g0loled at not less than taoo hum
bred ard fifty dollars, and pay tares there
on, yo~ soould completely disara the ADDER
saay and set an example, the other States aoilL
Jottoao. This you can do with perfect safety,
and you thus place the Southern States, in
reference to free persons of color, upon the
same basis with the free States. I hope an d
trust your convention will do this, and, as
consequence, the Radicals, who are wild
upon negro franchise, will be completely
foiled in their attempt to keep the Southern
States from renewing their relations to the
Union by not accepting their Senators and

Cotton and its Price.

In the years 1859 and 1860, just prior to
the rebellion, the great Southern staple, Cot
ton, the production of slave=labor, amounted
to five millions of bales per annum This
was three-fourths in weight, and seven
eighths in value of all the cotton grown on
the globe, the present year, 1866, wherein
hireling labor will have been tested By in
formation from persons and letters received
from the different cotton producing States,
the whole crop will fall short of one million
and half of bales. The rest of the world
will produce about the same amount-sum-
ming up in all three millions of bales, for
1866. According to statistics at Liverpool
all the manufactures of cotton and the vari-
Gus goods in which cotton forms part, and
the manufacture of paper, generally of dam
aged cotton, gun-cotton, and other things,
the commerce of the world would require
and use, if obtainable, eight millions of bales
next year, 1867. This amount exceeds the
production five millions of bales, the exact
amount raised in the Southern States. in
1860. Admitting these data, our planters
may be assured that they viii receive over
twenty-five cents per pound in currency for
their cotton, and will reach, for best quail
ties, double that amount
