There seems to have been an imposi-
ton practiced on newspaper correspond
ents in Washington, in regard to the es-
innate of the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture of the cotton crop, which has been
represented to be 1900, 900 bales, and so
telegraphed throughout the country
Referring to this the Washington cores
pendent of the New York journal of Com
merce says:
The Commissioner estimates that the
crop will not exceed $3.50, 900 bales of
$50 pounds each; that is the highest es-
innate that has been made. The Com
missioner has lately returned from the
Cotton States, and is well informed in all
matters pertaining to the staple. If there
is an error in the estimate it will be be-
cause it was trife too high He esti-
mated within 10000 bales of the actual
amount last year, and this year his sys-
tenn of obtaining information is much bet
ter. He says that by an estimate that
can be relied upon there will be much
more real profit to the cotton grower, by
between sixty-three and sixty-four mil
lion dollars (nearly the latter fgure,) tiis
year, than in 1859. In the latter year
the crop was five million bales of four
hundred pounds each, the largest crop
uney ever hau. Iney sold 1t for eleven
cents pound, and it cost eight cents to
produce it. Now the cost of producing is
twelve cents and the cotton will bring an
average price of twenty-five cents. The
difference between the cost of production
is principally the difference between free
and slave labor. He says Virginia was
nearly depopulated of negroes, compared
with the former number, for the planta-
tons South. He saw some of these men
in Georgia who had for their share of the
crop pocketed $500. The crop in the
western Cotton States is excellent, so far
as picked, but the caterpilalrs have in
jured it in the eastern tier of States
Take the South generally, he says, the
cotton gathered before the storms near
the last of November is among the finest
he has ever seen.

From the Galveston News.


We have already noticed the fact that
q Chinese Immigration Agency has been
established In New Orleans. John Will
liams & Son are the agents in that city OF
Mr.. Koopmanschap. Mr.. Williams, the
elder, Is an old and well known citizen OF
Louisiana. He has long been a sugar
planter and commission merchant of New
Orleans, possesses great wealth, and Is
universally respected as a man of integ-
rity and large influence. He is now the
owner of the large sugar plantation for
merly belonging to Bishop Polk. One
of the sons Of Mr.. Williams now resides
in the interior of China for the purpose
of contracting for the best class of Chi
nese laborers and forwarding them to the
agents in New Orleans by sea, who are
contracting with all who want laborers
on the following terms:
The agents agree to deliver them in
New Orleans to those ordering thetp, on
condition that the planter shall pay the
passage money on delivery, not to exceed
S130 in gold for each laborer-the cost of
passage may not exceed $50. The con-
tract provides that his money shall be re-
paid from the first wages earned by the
laborer The contract executed in China
binds the Chinaman to five years labor at
the rate of SO per month in gold, one
half payable at the end of each month,
and the other halfleft in the hands of the
employers to the end of the year. But
S25 of each years wages is retained as
security to the planter for the faithful
performance of the contract. The plan
ter, however, pays but 81 so per month
to the laborer until the amount advanced
for passage shall be repaid. 1t is provi-
ded that the Iaborer shall furnish his own
clothing, but is to have as rations four
pounds of pork per week, or its equiva-
lent in bacon or beef, ALSO fourteen pounds
of rice and one-fourth pound oftea. They
are to be furnished with comfortable
quarters and one cook, from among their
own number, to every twenty-five labor
ers. They agree to work six days in the
week, from daylight to dark, being al
lowed one hour for breakfast and one for
dinner. The right is, however, retained
to them to take two hours for dinner in the
summer, provided they breakfast before
daylight. They are only required to work
on Sundays when it is absolutely neces-
sary to save the crops, as in sugar max
ing.
There is now a ship load of these la
borers on the way, and some expected in
New Orleans, and another ship load is
soon to follow, all of whom have been en-
gagged on the above terms.

AN AFFECTING INCIDENT.

This distinguished gentleman and hon
ored representative of ''the Lost Cause. 4"
came up from Memphis on the train which
reached here at II p. M. to-day. He
was on his way to visit Hon. G.. c. Clay,
Jr. at his plantation (where he now re-
sides) near Gurleysville, 80 miles East of
Huntsville. 1t is hoped that he will find
it convenient, before his return to Mem
phis, to visit our city, where he will be
sure to receive hearty welcome.
A gentleman, who was on the train
with Mr.. Davis, relates the following
affecting incident: An Irish widow, who
had two children with her, walked up to
the Ex-President and asked, '1s this
Mister Jefferson Davis ?" eyes, mad
am" he replied. "'Well, sir, lost nv
husband in the cause which you espoused
and" giving him hearty shake of the
hand, with the tears trickling down her
cheeks.) 81 feel just like 1 was meet
ing with my father" She gave the
name of her deceased husband, and Mr.
Davis recollected him as the gallant
Major of Confederate battery. She
said she had been broken up by Wilson's
raid, and was, now, trying to get back
with her children, to her old home in
Georgia. The Ex-President and other
gentlemen were moved to tears by the at.
feeting incident, and contributed money
to help her on her way.-Huntsville
Democrat.

1t is announced that three hundred
Chinese laborers will arrive in New Or
leans on the 10th proximo. They are
coming under the agency of Messrs.>Jno
Williams q Son, of that city. Several
hundred are also on their way under care
of parties from Memphis. They are I'M
der contract for several years and furnish
a practical test of the adaptibility of the
Chinese as laborers in the Southern coun-
try. 1t viii also put to the test the dis
position, intention and legal ability of the
Federal Government to interfere with the
employment of Chinese emigrants under
long contracts.

THE CerToN TAX. A dispatch I,

The CerToN TAX. - A dispatch to
the New York World says:
The argument of the cotton tax before
the Supreme Court has been finished. Mr..
Hoar and Mr.. Field speaking for the
government, and P. Philips, of this citv
and Benjamin r. Curtis, of Boston
against the constitutionality of the tax
The sum involved in this particular case
is only twenty-five hundred dollars. but
the total amount to be affected by the de-
cision Is estimated as high as twenty mill
lions OF dollars. 1t does not follow how
ever, even if the unconsitutionalitv of the
tax be affirmed by the court, that this en-
tire sum will be at once refunded
Probably only the moneys will be prompt
" refunded where the parties made reeu-
lar protest and appeal as required by law.
1t Is conJectured that this has been done
in comparatively few cases; but if the de-
cision be averse to the tax, it will follow
that all this money has been wrongfullv
taken and it viii be the duty Of Conpress
to provide for Its repayment Some
members say this will be done. In the
debate on the repeal of the tar. il was con
coded that the tax was only defensible as
q war measure.
