The Next Cotton Crop,

In the March number Of DE Row'S $
Rericw, tho editor, who has just com
pleted tour through the cotton
States, estimates the next cotton crop
at not more than one million FIVE hun. :.
dred thousand bales lie adds
These figures are not likely to be in F..
creased by anything that is now t.
happen, aud may be greatly reduced
by the ignorance, neglect or desertion
of the laboring forces, which, judging
irom the experience of all other coun-
tries, is more likely to occur than not
aud reduce the crop TO one million OF
Que million two hundred thousand
bales. No account is taken in the
calculation, oftho application ofwhitc
labor to cotton, beyond what was an.
piled to il before the war. The ex
tenslve mortality Of the war has made
white labor at the South very scarce
aud so far II has been absorbed in m,
mechanic arts aud trade, which have
been furnishing most lucrative e,n,
lployment. The increase OF whits IL.
Dor at the South, so far as the nsr
orop is concerned, from immigration
is too tritiing to bo aksn into account
The aggregate number Of laborer,
introduced is in ignifcant, and so "a,
is largely absorbed in the cities. "

Revenue on Matches.

One cent per box is imposed on
each bunch Of matches. This seems
insignificant when compared with
other branches of manufacture, yet
an immense revenue is the result
There can be no great fraud or eva
sion of the law, owing to the fact that
a stamp must be affixed on each bunch
sold, aud the law imposes a heavy
penalty, not only on the manufacturer
but on the vender for disposing of a
single box without the stamp. From
the returns submitted to the Commits
sion, of the match manufacture Of the
United States: it appears that there
are now in the country fifty large es-
tablishments, and that from the pres
ent demand for the consumption of
matches, they anticipate it will re-
quire for the next fiscal year a pro-
duction of 2, 100000 gross, or 345,-
600, 900 bunches, which will yield a

Society depends.
The lease for the grounds upon
which our Fairs have been heretofore

best to purchase a piece Of land suit q.
able for that purpose. Every step
necessary has already been taken to

Greenfield Road. To pay for this
land, remove the old halls and fix up
the grounds in such manner as they
should be, and make il a delightful
