nections penetrate every part of Virginia,
Tennessee, Mississippi, North Carolina, lower

where the more material elements of an ex-

DiminutiOn Of the Cotton Culture and
Product. 9C s.4-YUs

A statement is before us of the cotton Gull
ture in the counties of Kinds, Chickasaw,
Carroll, Madison and Copiah, Mississippi ;
and it is supposed that they represent not
only the state of the cotton culture in Missis-
sippi but Throughout the South. As1i.}Ai
The estimate embraces POI farms. In
1860 the number of acres in culture were
65,765, and the number of hands employed
was 4,373. The production of the staple was
38,252 bales. The present culture exhibits
the absence of suficiency of labor, by rea-
son of which less than one half of the number
of farms is in cultivation; or, instead of the
area of 1856 acres cultivated in 1860, there
are now under cultivation on these POI farms
only 81 1856 acres. The same remark may be
made in relation to the force employed or the
number of hands engaged 10 the cultivation
of the staple, which are likewise reduced less
than one half. That is to say. instead of ope-
rating with 4,97a hands as in 1861 only o.
256 are now occupied. asslfrls.g,5I +

The Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad
~ / Ili.s yf COMPANY If4-

| We have before us the Report of the Presi-
dent of this Company, General VIM MALONE,
made to the meeting Of stockholders held in
this city on the 31st of May last The Pres
ident says the heaviest losses sustained by the
road were during the investment of Peters
| burg. Contiguous to that city, and within
the immediate lines, the road was much torn
to pieces-the entire railway track was re-
moved. The cross ties and rails were used
in defensive works. About thirty tonnage,
one passenger, and two mail cars were de-
stroyed. .s .u. 10 ,g.- -.....
The gauge of the track has been widened
for the space of 223 miles, and great deal OF
work has been performed in regraduation-
crtss-ties and joint fixtures have been relaid.
The water stations, and station buildings re-
paired, The road reported in fair working
order, on the 26th February The rolling
stock and tonnage are as good as new, and
| an engine of the first class has been added to
the equipment The floating debt of the
company was in 1851 $751;, 500, due chiefly
to the Banks in Norfolk The resources of
the company amounted to $3O2,ssO d. 81
All Of this Indebtedness has been paid out
of the surplus earnings of the Road, and the
State bonds, and other securities held as coll
lateral, were released $213,00O of back
interest have also been paid, and 1923, 900
have been added to the resources of the Com
pany in State bonds, $4,000 of our own first
mortgaged bonds, and $4,000 worth of cot
ton and tobocco, indicating an increase in the
business of the Company, up to the conclusion
of the war, of some $275,OOO. ss
To re-establish the road will cost $3.50. 900
A comparison of the financial resources of the
Company in 1851 and 1868, evolves the fact
that the Indebtedness of to-day, is less by
$4,000 than in 1861, and the resources
greater by $4,000, an absolute gain of $67,-
900; to this sum add the expenditures made in
the re-establishment of the Road, rightly
chargable to depreciation, say 100000 and
the sum OF 1851 900 as the legitimate gains
of the road is evolved Besides this NAV be
mentioned the sum of $1e1 900 Confederate
money lost, and $122,372 in Confederate
bonds. .t,.s a. f........... g., .---'.
The President expresses the hope that the
primary object for which the Road was built
is to be realized-its connection with the
Mississippi valley---and the line of direct
trade recently inaugurated. IaGOH a-aI

An ingenious person from New Orleans has
been engaged in making thread from the
stalks of the cotton plant. 1t is very fine
and strong, and looks very much like fax,
being nearly as soft and pliable. He propo-
ses to make this thread into cloth, which he
says will be as strong and durable as that
made from cotton itself. Forty pounds of
thread can be made from one hundred and
twenty pounds OF stalk. A new factory will
soon be established for the manufacture Of
cloth from this substance. This discovery is
not new one. 1t has been known for seve-
raj years that there was a fbrous substance
in the cotton stalk which very much resem-
bles fax, but it has never before been put to
practical use. Should this prove successful
it will double the value of the cotton planta-
tons at the South. The next invention in
order, for the development of the South, is a
method of making paper from sugar cane
stalks. Whoever does this ought to make a
fortune. al. .I.rE.d W.. r.

to smokers d way of preserving them from
the effect of the alkaoid by putting into
the tube of the pipe Or cigar-hoder little
ball of cotton impregnated with citric and
tannic acids. AS the smoke passes through
the cotton, it will deposit the nicotine there

If the season were as propitious as in 1860
and the seed of as good quality, a probable
calculation based on the figures we have cited
would give probable yield of an amount
perhaps less than $4,000 bales-S3,252 bales
having been produced in 1860 on the increas-
ed area and hands worked and employed in
that year. But the facts are by no means
so favorable as to warrant such calculation
of probable yield. A considerable proper
ton of the planters put in old and mixed seed
land the crops are reported grassy and as
having been injured by the heavy rains.
And if, as our authority states these counties
are fair index of the condition and prospect
of the crop, not only in the State of Missis-
sippi but likewise throughout the entire cot
ton region of the South, the crop of 1865
will inevitably fall considerably short of the
estimates which have been made of its prob
able yield.
Such are some of the effects which the cot
ton region of the South is now experiencing
from the diminution of her labor caused by
the late war. And until that di nnution in
her labor system can be supplied, either by
inducing the requisite number of freedmen to
engage in their old occupation of the cotton
culture, or by succeeding in attracting immi-
grafton within her borders, the production of
this great staple must remain diminished.
The 100000 of acres which might be
brought under cultivation, as estimated by
recent report to the Secretary of War, by
properly repairing the levees on the Mis-
sissippi would be of no avail unless the ne
cessary labor could be obtained to cultivate
them-and it is too certain that this requisite
amount could not be obtained from the facts
already existing in the counties to which we
have called attention. In these we have seen
that nearly one half of the labor is now en-
ployed on the same 201 farms, which were
cultivated in 1860 Until, therefore, a RENE
Jdyis found to supply the present diminution,
we may not expect the same crops which
were produced by the former system of la
bors .s5ar ar.1a.l 4.
+ There is one advantage, however, in the
diminished crop, The supply and demand
will regulate themselves. The less the guam
tity The more enhanced the price And in
this way, planters will be somewhat compen-
stated for the diminution in the product, by
reason of the absence of requisite labor, and
the unpropitious season. Another cause of
the diminished cultivation, which has not
been alluded to, may be attributed, perhaps
to the contracted means of its procurement
even if available. This may, perhaps, form
legitimate element in the causes of diminish
ed cultivation. 1t is an admitted fact, indeed
that We are much impoverished. From the
State of Alabama, Governor Patten announces
that there are in that State fully 10000
widows and 10000 orphans, three-fourths of
whom are destitute. And the Huntsville In
dependent makes these facts the ground for
urging the establishment Of cotton factories
give employment to this suffering class of
the population, recommending that State fac
tories of sufficient capacity be established, to
work up the entire cotton crop of the State,

facts, so far as am concerned. 1t is untrue that
| am, or ever have been, partner of VIM. Wood
connection with VIM. Woodward at any time,
was that of principal and he the agent, in the
purchase of rags and furs in Northampton Coun-
ty, and that section. All other transactions of

and individual business, with which knew moth
ing at all, and with which / had no connec-

The article does not directly charge me with
swindling, but the intention is such; and where

upon it. 4 Ql -u
The facts then are simply these: advanced
Woodward from time to time, sums of money to
buy furs and rags, also money on goods, which
he had shipped me on his own account, and which
| was consignee, and not as partner, or he as
my agent; and was directed out of the sale of
this Cotton, to pay his Indebtedness to me, and
then the balance, if any, over to him.
