RAILROAD EARNINGs.-A New York pa
per states that the earnings of the Union
Pacific for the year 1868, upon average dis
tance in operation of less than seven hundred
miles, were s5,O66,65l 6I. of which 81 ,O24,.
VO5 81 was for passenger traffic, aud S2,-
O4O,233 l9 from freight The transportation
on Government account was s553,58t 10.
This Is an unusually favorable exhibit for a
new road, as those most copversant with rail.
road progress and profits during the earlier
years OF their operation can best understand.
When the vast agricultural, mineral, and
manufacturing facilities of the regions tray
ersed by the railroad are considered, it is
easy to anticipate an amount of business for
the completed line of which the above record
for the year 1865 is but an indication.

THE OLD RACE DYING Our IN MAssA-
cHUsETrs.-A Boston correspondent writes
that the decrease in the number of children
in Massachusetts is a subject for our alarn>
lists to ponder upon. Many towns 10 the State
have been settled over two hundred years,
aud there history includes from six to eight
generations. The records Of many of these
towns have been examined BY State official
with respect to the relative number Of child.
rem in each generation, and it appears that
the families comprising the FIRST generation
bad on an average between eight and ten
children. The next three generations, aver,
aged between seven and eight to each family
the 6fth generation about FIVE, and the sixth
less than three to each family. These chang
es are as suggestive as they are startling.
Now 1t is rare 70 find married persons having
one two or three children This, also, Is
the testimony Of physicians who have been
extensively engaged in the practice of medi.
cine from twenty to forty years 10 the State.
II 1t were not for foreign immigration, Massa.
chusetts would run out sooa As II il. the

The Cotton Crop.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS.

see by your paper you estimate the present
crop of cotton at 10000 bales. Yotf esti-
mate. no doubt, would have been correct a
month ago, but. from present prospects, the
crop will not go over 200. 900 bales more than
last year. One month ago We had the best
stand OF cotton we have had for years, but in
the last two weeks all OF the August cotton
has fallen, and now We will not maze over half
crop. Ihave never known cotton to shed
and fall 30 rapidly in my life. Cotton in this
section can now be picked from one hundred
to two hundred pounds to the hand per day;
something unheard OF in this section for this
season OF the year. Cotton will all be gather
ed and sold by the 25th Of December.
A SUBSCRIBER OF CowETA COUNTY, GA.
I'VE may add that we are informed by a
Trustworthy correspondent that in the coun.
ties Of this State bordering on the Savannah
River, the cotton crop will be cut off one.third,
or one-half by the hot weather and drought.
One correspondent says, further, that from
latitude SO north it is doubtful whether tine
crop will be as large as that of last year, not
withstanding the heavy fertilization and better
culture this sessop.-ED. NEws.l

ment of Mr.. c. c. Fighter, the very enterpris-

TIE Loss OF WEIGHT In OoTroN.-The ques
ton of the loss sustained by cotton under the

estiug one to growers and cotton dealers, and
experiments in reference to it will be viewed
with attention. Our fellow-ctizen. john Fl.
Holmes, Eeq., cotton broker, Boyce's & Co.'s
wharf, has purchased bale OF new cotton,
grown in Orangeburg County, in this State,
classed full low mddliug, and weight 49
pounds. This bale has been put on scale in
his Office, and will have thermometer near 1t,
the range OF which will bo noted twice each
day, the character of tho weather and the
direction OF the wind, will be recorded, and the
loss or gain Of the bale will be written down
regularly. The bale will be retained in this
position for twelve months, in order to test
thoroughly the loss or gain BY ATMOSPHERIC
action.

NEW YORK FASHIONS FOR MEN
Fali and Winter Styles.

The fashion for frock coats during the COM
ing fall and winter will be the Prince Albert
STYLE, double-breasted and short. in the skirt.
which has been worn during the past season.
It will be somewhat more abbreviated than
hitherto. The colors are to be blue, black,
olive Or brown, as may be desired. Entire
suits of English and Scotch black and gray
plaids will also be in vogue. A similar frock
coat viii be worn for evening halE-dress suits
in making calls, &C., the materials being mel
tons and plain dark beavers of various shades.
The full dress evening suits for receptions
and small gatherings still consist OF black
dress coat, with black vest and black panta'
looms. The ball and opera costumes are to be
composed OF blue, olive or claret dress coat,
with buttons to match OF similar colors, q
white vest and light plaid pantaloons. To this
decided innovation over the late funeral garb
a few adventurous spirits may add brass but
tons, in the style of twenty-five years ago.
/ Overcoats will be in the sack style, single
breasted and With Ay fronts. The materials
are to be Of meltons, far, beavers, chinchillas
and other rough materials.
For sporting and driving coats and VESTS,
velveteens will continue 10 have the preference,
the colors being brown, dark green or olive,
and the psnsaloons OF light shades. e..
Pantaloons will continue in the present some
what tight style, fitting in the same manner
around the boot. but will be less striped at the
side than formerly. The material will be chiefly
Of gray plaids.
Vests for day wear will be Of the present gay
and varied colors, cut low, with plain rolls.
The light fancy vestings, for day or evening,
will be of white cashmeres and kerseys, full
and double breasted, in the English lapel
style, and buttoned high. For exclusively
evening wear, they are to be cut low, with three
buttons and arolling collar.
The materials used in the more expensive
establishments will continue to be largely for
eieu, but more American cloth will be used
than heretofore, especially for pantaloons.
Foreign manufactures can be we'll initiated.
especially in pansaloon materials, even with
our inferior wool. aud for ready-made clothing
they will continue to be almost entirely used.
Neckties will be both white and black, as
hitherto.
Silk hats will be much similar TO the svssle OF
last spring, with low. belled crowns, and brims
rather Exoad, but they will be, If anything,
slightly loHsr-more Of the bell shape and With
q greater curvein the rim. Of the loW-cro"n-
ed hats the broad, straightforward Wharton
style, OF smoke color, is to be much worn'
with wide. contrasting black band' resem-
bling mourning. The other numbsr.ess styles
of hats in use will continue Of the sane pat
tern and as varied as heretofore.
Boots and shoes will be rounded at tho toes,
and similar in styles as those now in use.
