Crescent the Wenona, Miss,
correspondent of the Memphis Bulletin is
an observer and a chronicler of facts Read
what he says about cotton:
In the vicinity of Grenada the cotton
crop will be much less than was anticipated
few weeks ago. One planter who, after
the worms commenced their ravages, ex-
pected to make sixty bales, will not now
save more than twenty. This is fair es-
innate of the average amount that all his
neighbOrs viii make. Very few will raise
enough to pay their hands, and the mer-
chants who have made them advances. Those
who worked on rented lands are hopelessly
bankrupted Many refuse to send their
crops forward to be sold at present prices, and
are impressed with the idea that prices must
improve, and that a month or two hence
they will realize more than now. When we
consider that there is now more than four
millions bales of cotton Including India)
available for consumers, and that at the rate
Of fifty thousand bales, which Is the amount
consumed each week, there is now cotton
enough to last two years without raising
another pound, and also that American cot
ton no longer governs the market If the
idea could only be infused into the minds of
producers, that by hurrying forward the
amount gathered for the relief of those who
Iurn1Sleu provision 10 make Gn6 crops, Bney
will restore the confidence formerly reposed
in them, and be more likely to obtain aid
another year. In the present closely pressed
situation of merchants and bankers, it is to
be regretted that different course does not
govern them.
Rreferring to freedmen, their work and
future prospects the same careful writer re-
marks:
Many farmers who hired hands last spring
for monthly wages are now paying and turn
ing them off. They are wsqdering about
promiscuously, seeking employment wher-
ever it is offered them. Good hands can be
procured in almost auy desired numbers at
six dollars per month, and fifty cents per
hundred is paid for picking seed cotton.
Long before New Fears idle negroes will
be swarming the entire country. 1t will not
be necessary to import labor from foreign
lands, or bring negroes from other States
next year There will be an abundance of
it, at very low rates, all over this part of the
country. After the present crop is gathered,
and it is found that the negro has already
consumed more than the share he has earned,
and the planter finds himself still in debt
for the supplies he has consumed, he will no
longer be able to feed his laborers.. What
will become Of them through the winter is a
mystery easily solved. Want and starvation
will soon complete the work.

The letter Of Judge Iverson L. Harris. Of
the Georgia Supreme Court, fa9oring recon
struction under the Sherman programme,
has attracted some attention. He argues
the case from n secession -pointLupon
the theory that the people Of the Southern
states were conquered by the Federalar armies
Judge Harris says:
Now, J take it e. be an undeniable ftct
that Georgia by tie ordnance Of her eonven-
ton IN 1861, did dissolve her connection
with the Federal Union, and re,loUBcs her
Federal Constitution
In reply to this, the Augusta Constitu-
tionaIis5 asks Is It not, also. an undeniable
fact, that the Federal GoyernneRt declared
such an ordinances Illegal and void and, By
force Of arms, did II not, undoBiably, compel
us 10 accept its declaration as the true one Z
Which, then, shall be taken as trae-the
