Boston correspondent Of the National Intel
igencer says:
The cotton crop Of the South is estimated by
the cotton manufacturers and merchants hereabouts
at two millions and half of bales for the present
season. The same estimate is made by the cottor
trade at Manchester
Well, we believe we know fully as much about
the cotton crop as the Boston man does, and oul
estimate is one million bales, provided we have
favorable, weather during the whole of this month
and we now make the prediction that it will COS
the Massachusetts, manufacturer at least fifty
cents per pound before the 1st of January next

says:
It is certain that McGarr is elected crimiua
judge; White, attorney of the same court; Biz
Ghett, circuit clerk, Chappall probate clerk
Drake, coroner; Gonklin, treasurer; Grammar
assessor; and Rodgers, ranger. The votes fU
sheriff and probate Judge are doubtful.
For surveyor there were no regular candidates
and several gentlemen wete voted forsat different
places. Judges Handy and Yerger, and R. Y
Booth, for district attorney, had no opposition.
Our old fellow-citizen and friend, Col James II
Wingfeld, has been elected an alderman of Sum
NIT, Miss.
THE COUNTY ElEuTroNs. Monday last the
county elections were held in Mississippi and We
can say without successful contradiction, that nc
elections ever previously held in this State, passed
off SO quietly. Near 800 votes wet polled in this
city, and we did not witness a solitary instance oil
disordefly conduct during the day. Men came up
to the polls and deposited their ballots and in
stanty returned to their daily avoeations. SIEVE
raj of the opposing candidates were the mutual
friends of maay of the voters, and it seemed 50
dihcult for them to choose between them, that
often both names were erased from the tickets
Several instances of this kind occurred, particu
aIiy between the opposing candidates for sheriff
aud probate judge. The election on Monday last
will long be remembered for the quiet and orderly
manner in which it passed.
