The KILLING OF Mr.. CARrER.-The ne

Jesse Garter on last Friday, was taken
down to Appomattox yesterday morning
by Sergeant Lacy, to be tried. Several
gentlemen from the immediate neighbor-
hood of the tragedy were In this city yes
terday, but from the nature Of the encOnn-
ter, which no man saw except the negro
and the dead, they could throw but little
additional light upon the case. We learn
that forty-seven slugs were found in Mr..
Carter's side, and near his body an empty
gun, though the opinion had been expressed
by several gentlemen that 1t had not been
discharged on the previous evening. The
circumstance Of the negro having been
concealed by Mrs. Shearer, and of her
house being visited by Mr.. Carter in pur-
suit of the boy, seem to be corroborated:

terrified, she sprang from the window. A

rescuing the child, but it was deemed un.

COTTON CROP IN GEORGIA AND TEXAS.
A letter from the heart Of Georgia gives
very gloomy accounts Of the prospects OF
the cotton crop, and adds that it is doubt
full whether the yield of the State exceeds
$50 900 bales. The very highest estimate
is zoo, 900 bales, which is less than one
third of the growth Of 1851 and 1850. In
Lavaca county, Texas, a writer says the
worms and weather have cut the crop
short, but if the planters can get the nc.
grocs to work and save the crop there Will
| be over half an average made.

A Delegation Of Southern Cotton
Factors and Merchants-MOdih
ton Of Cotton Regulati Ions Asked.

WASHINGTON, September PA dclega-
ton OF southern business mcn-mostly
cotton factors and plantcrs-arc IN the city
seeking a modification OF the existing rules
and regulations under which cotton is
transported to market, the revenue tax
paid, and final shipment OF it made to do
nestle ports. The delegation consists OF
Mayor Wthers, of Mobile; Colonel Eel
lows and Judge Pinkard, of New Orleans;
Mr.. Cunningham, Of Cincinnati, repre-
senting large Ohio cotton interests i'll the
South, and others. They present the me
MORALS of the Chamber of Commerce OF
New Orleans and Mobile, which set forth
the very serious drawbacks attending the
marketing and shipment OF cotton under
the present regulations. The payment OF
the rhree-cent revenue before the cotton
leaves the plantation, they assert, works
great injury to the planter, compelling him
to make serious sacrifices in order to COM
ply with the law.
The regulations attending its shipment
to domestic ports also operate i'll such
manner, it is asserted, as to very materially
favor direct shipments to foreign ports,
which they think it is the interest OF the
northern merchants to prevent.
Their delegation have had an interview
it'll the Secretary of the Treasury on the
subject, and that officer expresses his will
lingncss to modify the present regulation
so far as the existing law gives him any
discretion in the matter, but he has doubt
if the law will warrant any change.
The delegation therefore waited on the
President to-day to ask that the question
he referred to the Attorney General for his
opinion.
These gentlemen do not hesitate to affirm
that under the existing regulations it would
require more than a year to bring the linn
tied cotton crop of the present season into
