One would infer from the reports which
emanate from the Agricultural Bureau in
reference to the cotton crop, that it was
established as an agency for the be0etit OF
ting the cotton crop which has been play
ed for several years, Is repeated the pres
ent season. The latest item from the
Bureau is to the effect that the cotton
''crop Of the South for this year is larger
ethan was estimated, and it is now be
'Iieved the yield will be near three mil
Lion bales. most of which is of excellent
quality" There is no data to justify
this statement The early promise Of a
larger crop than last year was blighted by
a protracted drouth in the early summer,
which extended throughout the entire
cotton region. The receipts atlatest dates
at all the ports were slightly in excess of
the receipts at the corresponding period
last year, but this is due to the extremely
favorable weather for picking, from the
1st of September to the 10th of Novem-
Der. The season was also favorable to
the early maturity of cotton, though the
late crops were cut short by the early
frost
BY statement in the Report Of the
Statistical Committee of the National As
ISOLATION of Manufacturers and Planters,
the crop of last year is shown TO have
been ,, 800, 467 bales We will venture
the prediction that it will scarcely reach
these figures the present year

We have already published a statement
that through the agency of several asso-
Citations, and of individual exercions, immi-
grants have been brought into Mississippi
at several different points. From a COM
munication to the Columbus Index, we
learn the plan of organization at Okolo-
ma il as follows
The association is regularly organized
with President. Vice President Secretary.
Treasurer. two corresponding secretaries
and board of directors
To the Board of Directors are entrusted
the care of the immigrant. after he arrives
IN our midst. that is securing him labor.
and a reasonable reward for that labor
The initiation fee is placed at the low
terms of $40: each employer paying five
dollars for each laboTer that the society fur
nishes him. In addition to this the monthly
dues are fixed at one dollar. And any ex-
pense incurred by the laborer after his ar
rival here, the employer also pays"
The Association expect soon to build
an Immigrants Home, and after that
time they will arrive at the rate of two
hundred week.
We learn from the last West Point
Herald that an ASSOCIATION upon the same
plan has also been organized at that place
a letter published in another column
from Gen. a. NJ West to the editor of \ a
zoo Banner shows the plan that has been
adopted and used at Water Valley.
We trust movement for the purpose
will soon be started either in jackson or
Raymond, that Kinds county may keep
pace with Yalobusha, Chiekasaw and
Lowndes. Mr. Hester through, his indi-
vidual exertions and enterprise has laid
the corner stone for a large colony of an
industrious race who have done much to
make the mighty West what it Is; and his
efforts should be seconded by every citi-
zen of the county. An Association should
be formed at once

Mr. Peabody's Houses I'm London.

The London News, in noticing the
working mems houses erected in London
through the munificence of the late Mr..
Peabody, says:
The first block of buildings erected by
Mr.. Peabody's money was opened in 1864,
in Spitafields, and since then other blocks
have been built in Chelsea, Bermondsev,
Ellington and Shadwell They are not
intended for habitual paupers, but, like
Miss Burdett Coutt's dwellings, are de-
signed for working men and their families,
especially for those who have been crowd
ed out of their old houses by the recent
metropolitan alterations. "These build
ings, said a well-informed writer, short
time ago, occupy 1865 square feet,
and at present there are $50 persons en-
ioying the benefits Of comfortable houses
at a cost ranging from two shillings and
sixpence to five shillings per week, ac-
corCing to the class of the apartment; FIVE
shillings giving three good rooms in a
house drained, ventilated, with water sup.
plies, and dust regularly removed, with
baths and laundries, wringing machines
and driving rooms, with gas free of cost
Every kitchen is provided with cupboards,
an oven and boiler; and the families

Guiding all persons of known immoral
conduct and Incorporate habits, parents
are able to enjoy the sight of their chill
dren's sports, no longer in the pent up
alleys and dangerous street, but in ample
and airy spaces which form the play
grounds" The tenants of these buildings
are, with but rare exceptions, remarkable
for their decent and orderly conduct.

A Hopeful view of the situation,

From the Kinds Co. Gazette Conservative }
The great battle has been fought in Mis-
sissippi, and won by the Radical party. How
it was won, and why it should not have been
won by that party, are not now legitimate
questions To oppose the stern logic of
events, would be unwise. indeed foolish Ii
has ever been our desire to see the State re-
oDstructed-restored to the Union-and in
peace and quiet. Possibly the party which
has prevailed can accomplish that end more
readily. and more completely. and with less
confusion- than any other party. With the
lights now before US, we are willing to trust
them, promising all the aid, and every eff
fort at our command, for the general good
and the great object, viz: the speedy res
toration OF Mississippi 10 the UniOn. We
shall evince no factious opposition, but hold
ourselves in readiness TO commend where
applause is due.
Gen. Alcorn holds an immense power in
his hands. He is a Southern man by birth.
education, association, and pecuniary inter-
est. He Is a mau of large experience. of
brilliant endowment, of much spirit of great
personal and family pride. He no doubt
even nov feels the weight of the response
bility resting upon him. Mississippi and
her present and future interests and welfare
are in his hands, and he is to shape her des-
tiny. We believe he will rise to the majesty
on the occasion, and so shape his course that
even his most bitter opponents in the late
canvass may be constrained TO apply 10 him
their most enthusiastic plaudits. The op-
portunity Is one seldom occurring. Gen.
Alcorn can make a name which will endure
for generations, either as a patriot and
statesman, or as tyrant and monster in hui
man form. We believe Gen. AIcorn will
desire TO make a name-a name which will
stand the test OF history. We shall be dis
appointed If he does not direct his energies
for the good of Mississippi.

The people of Mississippi would have
had occasion for surprise, if the report of
the District Commander to the Secretary
of War, had not been full of vindictive-
ness and Misrepresentation. Notwith-
standing the temptation to-extreme mea-
lures which his partizan administration,
and his wanton aggressions upon their SEN
sibilities have offered, there have been,
during the past year as few violations of
the public peace as in any Northern COM
munity whose civil government has not
been disturbed in its proper functions.
And the cases of ''lawlessneSs" that have
occurred are due for the most part to the
agency of the creatures of the Comman-
der, as in the case of the Sunfower diff
culties. With but few exceptions the
saraps in charge of the Southern States
have considered it their vocation to fur
nish fuel for the consumption of Radical

From the New York World, of the 26th.
The New south.

Gen. Wade Hampton's address at the
Georgia State Fair, which we published
Yesterday, deserves more than a passing
notice. 1t can be read with profit here
as well as further South 1t is admirable
in temper, in style, and in the business
and comprehensiveness of its reflections.
General Hampton is one of the largest
and most successful planters in the Mis-
sissippi Valley, although his residence
is in South Carolina. His observations
upon the means of developing the agricul-
tural and mechanical resources of the
South have therefore a practical worth,
and, as one of the men whom the South
ern whites regard as leader, his ex-
pressions are equally valuable as indica-
ting the drift of sentiment among that
still wealthy and powerful class upon the
new issues, political and material, raised
by the results of the war.
1t is gratifying to learn from this expo
sition of his views that General Hamp-
ton is in favor of cutting away from the
dead past, and accepting hopefully what
the future has in store And it is also
pleasing to know from so competent AN
observer that the South already feels the
glow of reawakened life, and that an i'm
proved system of planting, together with
reorganization of labor, is resulting in
bringing back to the people the prosperi-
tv Of former times. The hands Of such
thinkers and workers as Hampton should
be held up by the men of the North as
well as of the South Every section will
be bettered by the renovation of the un-
healthy limb, and we are all alike inter
ested in the verifcation of the orators
remark, that in the material prosperity
of the cotton-growing South the Union
may behold its salvation from financial
bankruptcy.
