THE CROP PKOSPECrs.

Our information from all portions Of the
State is that both corn and cotton are being
injured by the cut-worm. The present spell
is very unfavorable. Corn and cotton, even
when the stand is good, grow very slowly.
The Rome, Ga, Courier says that in that
section, and also in adjoining counties Of Al
ALBANIA, large number Of planters are pillow
ing up their cotton on account Of the bad
stand A good deal Of the seed that came
up, soon died from being too old or from
other cause. The Courier adds: Besides
this, the prospective tax Of five cents pound
ON cotton so disheartens the planters that
they have but little patience to nurse the
tender plant"
The Atlanta (Ga.,) Inteiiigeaeer says Of
the crop generally in that State:
For several days past, we have been en-
gagged in collecting all the information we
possibly could, relative TO the prospects Of
the present growing cotton crop in our State.
From all our sources Of information, the
conclusion has forced itself upon US, that
the result of this years planting will prove
70 Dc Il llOhl ullIiOuAdblt OllG lDl Jul III
mers. The crop will turn ont 10 be an ex-
ceedingly short one, if the half that has
been reported TO Us be true-which is, that
most Of the seed planted has proved to-be
imperfect, the plant itself, after its appear
ance above ground, almost invariably fail
ing to take root and sustain its growth. On
very many plantations, there will be an en-
tire failure; on others, only partial, some
TIL NIL, fla arip of ran Ia
Dor, now being tried in the State warrants,
we think, the conclusion TO which we have
come, that the cotton crop Of Georgia will
be an exceedingly small one.
Mr. Truman, the Southern correspondent
of the New York Times, has recently adj
dressed lengthy letter to the President, in
the nature Of a report, as to the general pol
itical and industrial prospects Of the South
ern States. Concerning the crops and his
means Of information, he says:
arrived at Montgomery, Ala, about the
1T Of September, 1865, and remained in
the South thirty-ne weeks, or nearly eight
months, during which time ! Travelled over
nearly every portion Of eight of the eleven
seeded States, viz: Alabama, Georgia, Flor
ida. Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Lou
isiana and Texas.
Il the season is good, cotton will be raised
in large quantities all over the South.
Texas will make larger crop than ever be-
fore. | studied this matter with great deal
ofcarc, and am ofthe opinion that the eight
States above mentioned will make this sea-
ron nineteen hundred bales. Two-lhirds Of
the sugar plantations in Louisiana have been
destroyed, or from neglect have gone to ruin,
while but a few of those in good order are
being worked. The rice fields are quiet, and
the chances are, that very little rice will
ever again be raised in the United States.
1t is proper to say that Mr.. Truman left
the South the first Of April, since which
time the crop prospects have very muck
lcSscncd.
So far as labor is concerned it is doing
fully As well a could have been expected.

SPEAKING Of the negro population OF
Memphis the Commercial says:
The draymen, hackmen, porters, servants
of all kinds, are as respectful and kindly IN
their department as they ever were. With
these. save in rare instances, our people
would never have trouble. 1t is only with
the negro soldiers that trouble has ever e1-
listed They, as we learn, will soon be gone;
and, with their departure, will come order,
confidence and the good will OF old days.
We shall soon have none among US Out
white troops; and with them we can have
no difficulty. They are of our race and
can and do appreciate oar position and
our wishes Had we had them all the time,
instead of negro troops, neither tins not
nor the many lawless acts preceding it dur

WANT OF CONSISTENCY.

The recent Convention, which assembled
at Knoxville to memorialize the Legislature
on thesubject Of separate State Govern
meut for East Tennessee, after having refer
red to the many disagreements existing be-
tween them and other portions Of the State,
and reciting the causes thereof say:
To avoid this state Of strife and bitterness, we
believe a separation best. We desire a pcaceablc
and harmonious community. We desire to part
in peace TO live in peace, with the power to direct
our own energies We may see it, and wish the
liberty, in the event of another rebellion at any
future time sprnging ont OF the ashes OF the past
one, of clnEing to the Government of our fathers
instead of being dragged into false and treason
able position by the action of Others, and being
forced TO suffer I'll the consequences resulting
thcretrom. Let us, then, separate, and leave each
free with a homogeneous people, and with lib
cra law, TO pursue the path which duty and honor
may point out.
Noticing this, the Chicago Times very per
tinently remarks;
If the above are good reasons for splitting
the State of Tennessee, they were good rea-
sons for splitting the Union. We think the
Unionists Of East Tennessee must be pro-
vided with copies Of the speech made by Mr..
Lincoln on the Mexican war, in which the
doctrine of secession was plainly maintained,
and also with sundry copies of the New York
Tribune, printed in 1860 and 1861, in which
the same doctrine was advocated
1t is singular how soon late converts to the
abolition party begin to pirate of homogene-
itv and homoge oousness. They forthwith
demand homogeneity of sentiment, tastes,
political institutions, civil rights, customs,
manners and religion. They mean by this
that all others must conform TO them. The
doctrine of negro equality originates in this
idea and the fact that ringers and abO-
litionists constitute homogeneous people
Burlingame expressed the abolition idea Of
homogeneity in demanding an anti-slayery
God, an anti-slavery Constitution, and an
anti-slavery Bible" He wanted everything
