sarioS that we require. Last year,
in June, July and August, il was
predicted that not 10000 bales Of
cotton could be made. When it
came in there were about 100 900
shipped from the Gulf ports. Tho
truth is, our country is ovcrfowing
with resources, and The cotton crop
might be wiped out aud not hurt us;
to the contrary, ! believe We should
be more prosperous as n people.

pies of most excellent upland rice
raised this year in Brazoria county,

better price by the pound. Our
crops require to be diversified, and
! shall be glad to sec Il great deal
moro attention paid to the various
crops we can raise with profit and
must raise to become really and
truly independent.

the tone Of the press need not be
observed, because, more or less, that

the conductors of the prcsH. The
mercantile voice tells the something.
The merchants and capitalists of
New York, the great body Of whom
are Republican in politics, have ac-
quired the idea that the election Of
Seymour and Blair will cause revo-
luton and anarchy in the South
They build this belief upon the
idea that tho success of Seymour
will undo negro suffrage, and upset
rcconstruction. This idea is not
entirely wcll-founded, but they have
it, nevertheless, and they think the
carrying out Of such a policy will
AZ once inauguratc war of races.
Hence they are tying up their cred
