The New Haven Register publishes =
letter from Il former resident OF that city
now doing business i'll Charleston. The
writer says:
We have passed through u dull and
warm summer, and reached the season
for gathering crops. AS Il general thing,
they will be very short-in som" places
almost a total failure. \ small portion,
compared with former wears, was planted.
The dry weather and the want of proper
culture has been disastrous 20 that wilc!i
was planted-So that the expectations
from the productions of the sull is oiisap-
pointed. The corn crop is lamcntably
short for the wants of the people: the cot
ton crop Will be far less than last year
when our armies surrendered and the
productions of rice will probably be about
one-fourth of what was produced i'll form
7 rcr years. The high prices which rec and
cotton will probably bring, will help some:
but when the wants Sf the people are con
sidcred, the prospect before ~ is very
gloomy. Last year, 1t this time, we We're
weighed down with the embarrassed con
dition Of thing; bl:t then we had the hope
that our President would bc sustained in
his policy, and that before another year
would roll around, we should DC restored
to some, at least, O. the privileges of Il
State Government. From present appear
ance, we are not now permitted that hope
1t may De Tor years to come. We believe
the President is friendly, and that t.cre
are many at the North who would forget
the past, and restore the States to their old
condition in the Union; who would afford
any facility, III reason, to repair our da-
images, and give us 4 chance to organize
labor, so as to produce enough for our
neccssities-and to all such we give all
honor and praise. The madness that
seems to stalk unchecked over the land if
permitted to prevail Will wipe ont any
hope Of the future, and leave us at the
even the hopes Of Brownlow.
II the radical party are to be endorsed
by the people, what Is to become of our
country? How will its finances be sis-
taincd? Where will be the conservative
men over the whole country? Aud what
will liberty be worth? Say that VIC sinncd.
Say, if You please, we have greatly sinned!
Is there to be no such thing forgive
ness! Is the nineteenth century to be
characterized by such q policy? And in q
century boasting of more freedom, a
higher civilization, more religion, and more
OF everything that goes to improve and
elevate the condition OF mankind, than
any people on earth! Can it bc that an
ail-wise Providence, whose watchful eye is
on all events, will not say, "Ihus far, and
no farther?" This is our hope, and only
hope, for my countrv-if it is no prcsump-
ton to call it my country" | have sworn
allegiance to it, and l mean to obey its
laws-and shall cla..l It's protection, as
long as this claim will be of any use.

| North Caroliua-and it is the Chief
argument of the Northern press
/ that some of her timid politicians are
urging the adoption OF the amend
| ment, or else we must stay out of the
Union. Well, one would think tnat
such an argument would have little
weight with Il people who fought four
years to get ont of that Union. But
besides this, let us ask these al-
mirers OF humiliation, is there (u1y
guaraltee, if tie tSomhe11l States shouhl
aioIt tie amendment, M0t Mey acW he
(te{DaiNeI? Not the slightest On the
contrary, we have recently published
extracts from leading radical organs
and orators that something more
than the adoption of the amendment
will be required to gain admission.
SO that argument is futile.
But another argument is that the
Southern States Will ut last have to
ratify the amendment, and we might
as well DO so at once We cannot
see the compulsion on the Southern
States to do any such thing. If the
amendment received the approval Of
the required number of States, it be
comes a part of the Constitution
without our aid. But, as the matter
now stands, if all the Southern States
refuse to adoptit it cannot be carried
until we have forty States, and we will
be saved the disgrace of voluntarily
humiliating ourselves still further
The South is anxious for represent

Joining the true conservative men of

the radical destructives, and throwing
overheard their odious measures Of
high tariffs and taXations-she is de-
sirous OF a speedy restoration Of
peace and unity between the sec

radicals is too high; for if we have
read the character of her people, they
will not yield to such further conces-
slons as are now demanded of them

FRoM SoUfE CARot,rNA.-Tho spe>
cial Washington correspondent of the
Herald telegraphs to its Mondays
issue the following concerning affairs
in this State:
''Lieut. Z. p. Docherty, of Booth
capture notoriety, has just returned
from a four months residence in
South Carolina, and gives rather
dlscouraging account of the crops and
the general condition of the country.
The corn crop in that State is almost
q failure. Many plantations will not
yield over two bushels to the aero,
and very few more than five. The
cotton crop was moderately good,
which is all that the people have to
rely upon.
''Licut. Dochcrty was for several
months Provost Judge for Sumter,
Clarendon and kcrshaw Districts, in
addition to discharging the duties of
u Post Commandant, and is, there
fore, familiar with the workings Of
the Freedmcn's Bureau. lie pro-
nounces the contract system Il fail

the labor question would soon adjust
itself to the advantage Of all concern
ed If left to itself The abolition of
provost or military courts he consi-
ders wonld also contribute to peace
and harmony, and better subservc

THE NEwFoUNDLAND TELEGRAPH
L1SE.-Not many persons understand
that the lines in Newfoundland pass
through u forest, and, in one case, u
continuous distance OF 250 miles.
Stations are established every fifty
miles, and. in case of Il freshet, it
becomes necessary, in making repairs,
to make u detour of fifty miles into
the interior to get across the swollen
streams. The public are unable to
understand why breaks are not sooner
repaired, but one who has tried a
journey, such as the Newfoundland
woods offer, can readily comprehend
the delay.

E,IIGRANTs. The editor of the
Chattanooga Union noticed, passing
along the streets, recently, Il train OF
ten wagons, filled with women and
children and household plunder, with
the heads of various households and
the men OF the families urging on
the patient oxen attached to each
wagon. On inquiry, he learned that
they were from the neighborhood Of
Washington County, Tenn, and en-
route for Missouri and Texas. They
informed him that they We're only q

The Result. The Richmond En-
ooni"e'', of Wednesday, speaks Of
sitting up to q late hour for unsati,-
factory kilograms concerning the cleo
tions, and thus comments on the
result in Pennsylvania:
''Somc wiscacrcs will argue from
this result that Southern representa-
ton should be cut down one-third,
and that men like Lee, Forrest and
Hampton disfranchised. The con
clusion We draw is, that we should
so on Quietly about our daily pur-
suits, each doing his duty in his APP
pointed sphere, working hard and
yielding nothing whatever to clalnor
OF panic.
\ very sensible conclusion. 1t is
very sure that South Carolin;t would
never consent to the d;sfranchise-
ment of the citizen above named,
and, ii the radicals should prove tri-
nmphant, let us calmly await the
consequences.

The latest fashion in dress skirts is
to have them 50 short that looping is
unnecessary. The effect, however,
is not that of short dresses, for the

Not :, legal Tender.

In the Court of Common Pleas for
York District, Judge Aldrich presid-
ing, an important case was tried, as
we learn from the Enquirer, Of Thurs
day. 1t was briefly this: The She
riff, i'll u certain case, refused to
accept United States legal tender
notes in discharge of an execution
against the defendants, and a rule was
issued against him.
The case was ably argued by coun-
sci on each side, and Judge Aldrich
decided, unhesitatingly, that the
United States Treasury notes pur-
porting to be a legal tender are MT a
legal tender for debts Of any o,ScI'ip-
ton, arising up0" contracts made eithe,'
precious TO on s-nce the passage Of tie
cu7ve1acy Act ly CongresS. He con
ceived that the Constitution Of the
United States, as we'll rs the laws of
this State, forbade any such conclu-
sion
This is an important decision to
the people Of this State, and as no
tice Of appeal has been given, the
action OF the higher court will be
looked forward to with interest.
DEAR Books, NEWSPAPERS, &C.
The fact that books, newspapers and
all other printed matter are Il little
dearer than formerly, may be ac-
counted for III part by the reason
contained in the following brief para
graph, from the Springfield RepuJH-
citi2:
1.-The Grew Paper Company, OF
South Hadley Falls, have declared a
yearly dividend Of 100 per cent, be-
sides reservinG Il fund sufficient to
build an addition to their mill. Last
year, the dividend was 120 per cent. -
Surely some capitalists at the South
might G found, who would be con
tent with Il less return for their in
vestment than to double it every
year. The Southern States have
water power and all other facilities
FOR the erection of paper mills, and
why do they not? There's the rub
Nothing will bring down these enor-
nous dividends, or the price OF pa
per, but competition il the business.
