ter Of South Carolina says:
"The negroes are doing far bet
ter than 1 ever thought they
would. They are generally inof:
fensive, and are working as well
as could be expected under the Cir.
cumstances. The crops are very
unpromising. There are very bad
stands of cotton, and it is very
backward. 1t has been the most
unpropitious spring we old folks
have ever known. / have no doubt
as to the very short crop Of cotton,
owing not only to the causes above
stated, but also to the certainty
that there is not more than a third
of the land planted that was for.
merly. There is another cause
which will operate-the cotton
will not be as well cultivated; and
another cause, which operates
partially, perhaps-the extreme
scarcity of food and no money.
Many have not a grain of corn
General ruin stares nearly all in
the face. Creditors insist on being
paid, and there is nothing to pay
with. Conversions of judgments
and assignments are the order of
the day. [ have no thought that
one-tenth of the land can be kept
from sale unless where it is settled
in trust"
