To the Citizens of.Fairfeld.

The crop Of cotton in our District
this year will probably fall little
short of one-third of full crops as es-
timated in 1860. That year the cot
ton crop could not have fallen short of
10000 bales. Those twenty thousand
bales brought into the District abont
$S0O,O0O. Estimating the crop this
year, l86G, at less than one-third, say
5000 bales, and the average price at
25 cents Iound, and that would give
to the District $500, 900 of currency.
But the cotton is bringing, and will
continue to bring more than 25 cents,
hence the amount of money in ex-
change for the cotton crop will not fall
very far short of what it was in 1860.
Stree writing the above, we have
been furnished by request (not having
the statistic in our possession with the
actual amount of cotton made in the
District, according to the census of
1860. That amount was 1910 bales
of 400 pounds each.
The corn crop of 1860, according to
the same evidence, amounted to 522,-
200 Bushels. 1t will fall, no doubt,
far short of that this year. But if
our people will be economical, and
ignore luxuries, the cotton crop, with
what corn is made will keep us from
suffering.
AS for bacon there is no doubt that it
will fall short of the quantity made in
1860. That year the number of hogs
was 23,46C, worth $99s,OOO, little
more than one hog for every man, wo-
man and child in the District, as the
population then was 22,lll.
But the war taught us how much we
could do without, and how little will
supply our necessities. If the lesson
taught,by the war does not entirely
escape us, we see no reason for great
> despondency so far as the comforts of
life are concerned.
1t rests great deal now with our
merchants and cotton buyers whether
the money for the cotton of the Dis
trict shall be turned loose upon our
community, or seek an outlet else
where. 1t is quite certain that no
production of the District will put
money in circulation except cotton,
for there is hardly anything else from
the producers of the District that will
bring money into circulation amongst
us. Let these then give the farmers
and planters inducements to come to
Winnsboro to sell and buy.

The feeling of personal interest in Mr..
Crosby seems to prevade the whole country.
Every little town or village has its one or
more clubs, and we understand that the
rapid sale Of certificates throughout the
country is in great measure to be attributed
to the cordial support of the national banks

must numerous and efficient agents.

A BRAcE 90 Sr0rLEroNs 1t has become
a little too fashionable " 49,, for our ardent
politicians 10 advertise their BUSINESS by eX
/ posing carlcatures of our public IN, With
some remarks attached 10 attract attention.
/ An example Of this kind was furnished last
week which led to a rather unpleasant de-
nOuement. Ii appears that person by the
name Of Seeley, a truss maker on Clark
street, exhibited somewhat delapidated
specimen Of that article on his show case,
labelled 'The tapeworrn passed by A. John
sons reconstruction policy" or words To
that effect Now i so happened that the
attention of passei by was directed to the
article, and he happening to be ''recoR-
structionite," Immediately took possession
81 he objectionable" and informed Mr..
>eeley Of the fact, who, IN turn, preferred a
charge of theft against the trespasser, and
had him Immediately taken to the police
court where he was fined the sum Of $500
by justice Mlliken. for disorderly conduct.
Nhhout expressing an opinion on tLe
justice or injustice Of the penalty,
we are sorry to say this style of
black guardissn is getting little too common.
| No matter whether it is a carlcature on A.
Lincoln, the allsplitter," or 4. johnson,
the 'lailor," the display is. alike d,scrcd:
able, and no man with an ounce Of brains or
selfrespect will indulge in II. We believe
there is genius on Dearborn street, who
has been guilty of similar outrage for some
time, to the disgust of every right-minded
citizen but we suppose the perpetratoI
thinks he il repaid for his labor when o
crowd Of young rutfians obstruct the side
walk, and applaud his efforts. In speaking
thus we have no reference, none whatever
to any Poiitieal caricature; but regard Il
from an entirely different stand point.
