CoTToN PROSPECTS IN THE SoUTH.-The Missis-
sippi Daily Clarion has been making an estimate
of the probable number of bales of cotton that
will be yielded by the Southern States for the
present year. With the statistics contained in the
report of the Cotton Growing Association of Jack
BOZ before it, It places the cotton yield in the South
for 1866, at not more than 100000 bales The
report upon which it bases its deductions contains
data furnished by planters of number of coun-
ties in Mississippi. From their statements it ap-
pears that s23 planters, who in 1860 employed
1924 hands, cultivating S4,3ll ceres in cotton,
and raising 46,6S1 bales, the present year employ
3,495 hands, and have only 32,222 acres of cot
ton planted. The Clarion applies the same rea-
soning to the other Southern States that it does
Mississippi, with the above result as to the amount
of cotton that will be yielded this year.
The cotton crop of Mississippi, in 1860, amount
ed to 100000 bales. Should the estimate of
100000 bales for the year 1866 be correct, the
great loss in the production of this staple through
out the South may be understood when we consid-
er that the whole crop in that section for this year
will be barely greater than that of esinge State
six years ago. The manufacturing North, in view
Of these figures, will be allowed fair idea of the
blessings that flow from the freedmen system,
backed as it is by the negro bureau and its agents,
and will more readily comprehend, in the ighten-
ing Of its pockets, the great and damaging rcvolu-
tior in the labor system of the South.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE HUNGRY.

The New York Journal of Commerce, of Monday,
the goth instant, publishes the following, which
will give our readers some idea of the inexhaust-
BILE fertility of the Western country:
Within six weeks, that is to say by the hrst Oh
October, will be harvested one of the largest corn
crops ever produced in the United States. Moth
ing can look more luxuriant than the helds OF
growing corn that cover thousands of acres IN the
valleys of the Ohio and the Missouri rivers, where
one-haf of the entire crop in the United States IS
nroduced. A writer in one Of the Western papers
calculates that, ms bushel of corn contains sixty
solid pounds of grain, the crop of the current
year, even if it should not exceed 60000 900 BUSH
els, will amount to four thousand eight hundred
million (4,SOO,OOO,OOO) pounds of grain, besides
an equal weight in fodder. The value to the coun-
try of such an aggregate of agricultural wealth.
springing from single crop, is not easily conceiv
ed. Though wheat realizes a higher price per
bushel in the market its positive value, rs nfe-
sustaining product, is much inferior to that of
maize, since the former averages but little more
than one-third as much to the acre in the quantity
grown. The statistics of the production of corn
in the United States for the last twenty-five years
are as follows, viz:
Bushels.
In 1s40, total crop, 377,o9l,o'o
In 1850, total crop, 692,6I1, lo4
In 1860 total crop, $50, ,451, ,707
In 1866, total crop, (estimated,) 1,Oo9,oO0,OOO
The writer, whose calculations we have noticed
remarks upon this showing as follows: "The in
crease being at the rate of four per cent per an
mum, the aggregate crop of 1866 will be over one
thousand millions of bushels Estimate this ut
sixty cents per bushel, and conceive, if you can,
the feeding power of this enormous quantity of
Indian corn"
No wonder that the farmers in the West exult
in the prospects afforded by their luxuriant fields
They have surely been disappointed, as no staple
of agriculture seems adapted to resist the
changes of our climate. Taking the last twenty
years together, the average yield per acre in the
"Buckeye State" is not far from thirtyth BUSH
els. Corn is commodity which should not be de-
spised.

on the reported willingness of negroes to

"In the preceding extract, as in most
Of the s~pecuiations of Northern journals

the readiness of the negroes to make con-
tracts TO labor for the year. 1T seems to

"doing business in the style of white
