Correspondence of Charleston Courier.
From WaSlington.

Reports are coming in through letters
and newspapers, representing that The
prospect of cotton and corn are becoming
very unfavorable. The Conn issionsr of
Agriculture has, however, in his report for
the month of September, just made, esti-
mated upon an analysis Of elementary
statements, the cotton crop at 1000, 900.
He says that the promise of his last re-
port as to wheat will be fully sustained, and
of corn there will be more than thousand
millions of bushels. He congratulates
himself upon the resumption of STATISTICAL
relations with the South. The farm stock
of the South he estimates as beiLg now
within from twenty to thirty per cent of
the numbers for 1860, aud in Texas that
that there has been an actual gain of TWEEN
ty per cent. in the number of sheep.
The supremacy of the United States
Cotton in the markets of the world is, he
says, fully assured The imports into
Foreign ports of Cotton from the United
States in the six months from January to
June, inclusive, are computed ut $126,.
S49, ,655 for 9u4, ,704 bales, or 81 l.2 cents
n pound, while the cotton imported from
o.her countries average but II cents, and
India Cotton but % cents
The London Times does not believe, it
says, that the United States will get
through another Presidential election
without another civil war. If the mad
ness ot the dominant Radical party in the
North be not ere long checked, the Gov
ernment itself will be destroyed, and des-
Potism or anarchy take its place. We have
remarkable confirmations from various
sources, OF the purpose of the Radicals to
repudlate the construction of the proposed
constitutional amendment under which any
one OF the excluded Southern States can
be recognized without accepting negro suf-
frage as a part Of their fundamental law.
Tennessee will not be an exception, for
negro suffrage is there to be established by
law before the end Of next December. The
same condition will certainly be required
by Congress in relation to the ten exclud
ed States, at the coming session, it the
Radicals carry the Fall elections, as they
certainly will do.
Governor Holden, of North Carolina, is
therefore, mistaken in his appeal to the
people of that State, in favor of the ratifi.
cation of the constitutional amen"ment,
upon the ground that If they did not ac-
cept it at once, negro suffrage would be
made the condition of their restoration
Gen. Sherman has made report declaring
that the South had better hasten to adopt
the offer of Congress, or that they will
have to take it, with negro suffrage. But
the fact is that the South has no longer
the option. If they all ratiiy the propos
ed constitutional amendment, and choose
loyal men as Representatives, they will
still be denied recognition, until they es.
tabish what is called equal and impartial
suffrage. LEO.
