WASHINGTON December II.
The following is what the Commissioner Of
Agriculture says in his annual report, just out,
underthe head of southern Agriculture :"
"The continued high price of cotton has made
its culture more profitable than at any former
period and the crop of 1858 has yielded larger
amount of money than that Of 1859. The yield OF
the past year exceeded very slightly the estimate
Of this Department, which was 2,2so,ooO bales.
The present season has witnessed great activity
In this culture an increase OF area cultivated and
more general and generous fertilization, and has
also been characterized by drought in the sea-
board states, and other causes OF diminished pro
ductior which have modified the expectations OF
planters yet the crop will exceed that Of last
year, and may reach 200, 600 bales.
.Iregret to observe, from official correspondence
and during brief tour through the cotton States,
the tendency to neglect other crops and concen-
trate all available labor and capital upon single
product, however profitable. The inevitable re.
suit will be more cotton and smaller net returns
In money after the purchase OF needed supplies,
and, as further result, slower Improvement OF
neglectcd lanuS. InlS baut Ol OOuLHtTu upTlCui-
ture is still operative, and may cease to exist only
when low prices, disaster and dependency shall
again arrest the impolitic and irrational course
of production would not advise an attempt to
keep up prices by limiting the yield; somewhat
larger supply Of the staple Is needed in the mar
kets OF the world; the present rates cannot be
sustained indefinitely; but would not foster the
suicidal mania for cheapening the moncy-pro-
ducing crop while rendering dearer every other
that must be purchased as an auxiliary OF its pro-
duction.
alt is gratifying, however, to note the increase
of cotton manufactures In the cotton region, their
nourishing condition, their large dividends, and
the quality Of their yarns and fabrics. Operatives
are easily obtained at reasonable wages, becom-
ing readily Injured to habits Of systematic indus
try, and rapidly acquiring the requisite skill. At
the commencement OF the present year there
were eighty six cotton mills reported from South
ern States to the National Association Of Cotton
Manufacturers and Planters, running 225,e63
spndles, consuming 3l,4l5,75o pounds. The fol-
lowing are details Of returns from the cotton
