LOUISVILLE, August H.-The accounts with
reference to the cotton crop in Mississippi are
conflicting, but they are thought to be, ON the
whole, favorable. Fears are expressed, now
ever, that in a month or SO, when the freedmen
will be most needed to pick out and save the
crop, they will be carried away by the political
excitement then most likely TO prevail, and be
useless as field hands or for any other service.
