average OF about what WAS cultivated. This,

this alone lessons tho crop by 200 00O then tho

This would give you deficiency in tho growing
crop of $500 900 bales This, taken from 600 900,
tho crop actually grown i'll 1866, would leave
100000 Allow for over-estimating deficiencies
balos as the estimated growing crop of 1866. How
much old cotton is on hand in the different States
do not know, but this wonld have TO be added.
Tho main part Of the growing crop will como
from tho small farmers to whom have alluded,
and that calculation is somewhat uncertain, for
they may raise more than their proportion, es-
timated i'll 1860. That class has ever influenced
the amount produced far more than generally es-
timated. In like manner they were greatly under
estimated by Northern men as to their influence
in bringing OH tho revolution It was generally sup
posed and asserted by all men North that the war
was brought on by the large cotton planters and
shareholders. Tuis was q profound orror. know
the fact that the largest slaveholders were gone
rally the conservative mon in the commence
ment, and were for moving with caution and
prudence, while the small property-holders were
for tho most part fiery and uncalculatiug.
1t was great ground swell of the mas es, that
forced the country forward-having no guide but
devotion to tue country, and the indignant feel
ings of a wronnged people. AS a general rule tho
large Shareholders and cotton planters had but
little to do with politics, and it was the great
masses of tho other class who have ever held q
large control over the public opinion of tho South
cru states. his Is the samo class who will now
control the amount OF cotton to be produced. I

will there see tho basis of my estimates then

aud the tables from which drew them. wrote
another article years after, with much larger
calculations, but cannot find it to send to you.
It was afterwards translated into French and Ger

Review, aud as l know you are a man OF large re-

laid down. 1 would be'gl d to have you read it..
The negro race will now run out, for they needed
tho strong arm of the white man to protect them.
1t is now withdrawn, and they will perish as the
Indians did. Being connected, as we are, with a
great continent teeming with the energetic white
O.
ghany backbone from ,Pennsylvania, Virginia, and
North Carolina, and gradually, in time, settle all
along the ridges and spurs that make down the
mountain range toward the soacoast, and press
upon the less vigorous race until they are driven
down to the allLvial bottoms OF our rivers, and
thence dowasse the seacoast and warmer sections,
where they will finally live on shrimps, oysters,
and hsh, and whatever they can gather of the
spontaneous productions of the widest regions,
aud finally perish out q race. This is inevita-
BILE, as it has ever been where strong race has
int trsf II
less enterprising. Nothing could save them but
being the ascendant race some insular posi-
ton in a burning climate. This result will be
deeply interesting to all identified in the perma.
nent production of cotton. The two races are
entirely distinct and separate creations. The
contents of negro's skull of the same size az a
moro specific gravity in the latter. Tho brain of
q negro man is not 80 condensed or solidifed as
that Of the white man. The brain of white boy
OF thirteen ls more condensed, more solidiied
than that OF negro man OF twenty six years old
The hair Of negro il q shaft with outside scales
containing the coloring matter, and is, in fact,
indrical tube, and the colorng matter is in tho
fluid of this tube. No mixture of the races can
ever amalgamate the formation Of the hair. Tho
mulatto has the cylindrical tube alone or tho shaft
without change. The atlas Of the vertebral col
umn in negro man enters the head one inch
further back than it does in a white man, making
and erect, while the head OF the former has
tendency to droop or hang down. Tue
nasal anglo in the negro is far more acute
than in the white man, showing it ap-
proaches to the shape of tho nasal angle
in the brute creation. The bone from the
knee joint to the ankle Joint in q negro of the
same height with white man, is one inch and
quarter shorter than in the white man. showing his
power to rise with weights. The arm also, from
the shoulder to the elbow, is shorter in the negro
than in the white The toe f the negro ia long
er and more of his heel behind his ankle Ho also
seoretes more through the glands of the skin and
the white man more through the kidneys. There
are far more glands near the skin in the negro
and hence his capacity to throw off heat; and it's
dfusiDn IL greater, and hence the general odor of
his body; whereas the white man secretes more
through the kidneys and does not throw off heat
30 readily, ut il more easily depressed from con-
gestlnn. The races never amalgamate perma-
nently, for after the fifth generation the Gybred
mostly barren, or have hut few children and thew
are generally weakly. Tneir po ser for reproduce
tion with o white man soon loses ITSELF but il in
terningled with the black man, or oven q mulatto
the race grows moro vigorous and numerous and
will come back to the black race IN q few genera
tions. But for this, there would have ueen more
amalgamation in our cities and villages than there
las been in two hundred years. The races in
the rural districts are far more repugnant because
there ID there higher tone OF morality. North
ern men and Foreigners settle in the cities and
towns who are not acquainted with The distinct
characteristics Of the races, and have no instnc.
tive prejudice against licentiOus amalgamation.
The truth is, the two created ut differ
