The Next Cotton Crop,

We extract as follows from long com
munication in the Montgomery Mail, sign
ed "Planter," in reference to the cotton
crop of the current year:
The cotton crop for 1869 will be one
third less than that of 1868 This may be
startling, but it is nevertheless true. Let
US look at the reasons for entertaining this
belief
I. The season has been most unfavorable
The wet spring has retarded the blowing
and preparation of the land, and in some
instances retarded it altogether until lately.
The same cause has prevented the same
number of acres being planted as in 1868
The heavy blowing caused by continuous
rains has greatly iatigued and worried the
stock. The imperfect blowing. giving
much of time, has tendency TO dwarf the
cotton plant and make the crop grassy.
2. The labor is much less in numbers
and effectiveness than last year. Expert
ence teaches US that every year takes from
the number and efficiency of the hands. The
women have almost entirely left the fields.
Many hands who saved money from last
years crop, are this year spending it in the
enjoyment of ease. OF the others who
saved money some have gone "to farming
to themselves" Now, these negroes, while
valuable as members of society in their
sphere, do not produce as much cotton as
when they worked with the large planter.
They produce more corn, more peas,
more potatoes, and less cotton than former
ly, 1t is true they make as much, and as
good support. as those who plant more
cotton but they make less cotton. We
may safely assume that for every hand who
''goes to himself" that his production of
cotton is lessened ne-half. Take the num-
Der ofthose who are playing gentlemen, 3"
and we find quite a deduction from the
force of 1858.
3. The seed are verg bad this year
Some singular fatality seems to have at
tended the efforts of all who tried to save
seed. Few planters have enough seed.
some have only half enough. The delay
and trouble in getting seed has put back
planting in some instances at least two
weeks. The same cause. the rottenness of
seed, will cause bad islands," replantiug,
and late crops. The worms will get fair
showing,

Tennessee Orphan Asylum-To the HUI

name Throughout the State.
The undersigned pastors of the churches

lowing state nent andAappeal:
There are now assembled in the asy lum,
near city. sixty orphan children of
Confederate soldiers. and applications now
on file will soon increase this number to
seventy or seventy FIVE. 1t requires no
small sum of money to provide daily food
for the sops and daughters of our depart
ed braves. Unhappily the current income
has not been equal to the current expen-
ses, and should this state of things contin-
ne, serious difficulty must be experienced
in conducting the institution. Unless,
therefore, large contributions be made by
auxiliary societies or by benevolent indi-
viduals. there may result no small distress
among the orphans and among those in i'm
mediate charge of the asylum We say
"those in immediate charge" for the asy-
lum is really, in wider and truer sense,
the charge of the entire people of the State.
These orphans are the a0ards ofkbe people

The MAGNIFICENT South.

1t is stated that after last years crop,
with expenses paid, the South retained
two hundred millions in gold Further
more it is announced that six hundred
thousand dollars worth of manufacturing

at Columbus, Ga, and seventy one others
are in process of erection at Savannah and
other points in the State for the manufac-
ture of cotton and wollen goods. One fac
tory at Augusta has capital of six hun

out nearly six and a half million yards of
cloth. The Arizona cotton factory, estaD-
lished in Claiborne parish, La, since the
war, is now paying net profit of twenty

officers in attendance at Barnwell court:
Colonel N. G. W. Walker is the sheriff. We
are informed he is an excellent officer. and es-
teemed by the bar for his prompt attention to
business and uniform politeness. He is ma
tive of the district, and was good sheriff in
the olden time.

to his duties. He ls carpet-bagger, and
comes from Massachusetts,.
MIR. J. N. league is the Probate Judge. The
jurisdiction Of this court has been very much
enlarged by the new Legislature, and am in
formed MI. league gives general satisfaction.
he is a native, and resided in Edgefield before
he came to Barnwell.
Conversing with Judge Aldrich, he remarked
that the district had been very fortunate IN
obtaining men go well qualified, and who are
disposed to administer their oftices for the
benefit of the country. He said he had not
observed or heard of any extortion or oppres-
sion by the officers, and he attributed it alto
gether to the tact, with one exception, that
they were natives, who had heretofore occu-
pied good social position, and it was lucky
for the people they we're able to take the oath
Of office required.

ally. I came to the conclusion that they were
all very much disgusted, and looked upon the
court as mere farce, and perfect caricature

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.


Massachusetts to be Thrown overheard.
The Washington correspondent Of the Bal
timore Gazette, writing on the Sd, gives an
interesting sketch of the political situation.
He says:
Itelesraphed a week ago rumors OF a dis
agreem mt between President Grant and Secre-
tary Boutwell,. Further developments more
than confirm these rumors. 1t is now quite
certain that, after much vaclllation, the Presi-
dent will finally cut loose from the ultra Rad-
cal wing. Under Boutwclps guidance he sees
nothing but defeat staring him in the face.
Look at the result in Virginia and in Tennes-
see 1t is not considered good generalship to
change front in face OF the enemy, but there
really seems no other course to pursue. On
the one hand there is certain defeat.
On the other-perhaps defeat also; but it
is thought advisable to try change OF
tactics, even though it be but forlorn hope.
Massachusetts will no longer be permitted to
control the government. Boutwell, will have
abundant leisne to mature his presidential
schemes in Boston, and Hear can rest on his
laurels as q lawyer who nutactures partl-
san opinions, regardless OF law or facts. Will
son will have to run his race for the United
States Senate against the willy Butler, without
backe1s; and Sumner, not being able to fur
ther mar, or medde IN, our foreign affairs, will
have an opportunity to look into domestic
affairs. OF which he will no doubt avail hinl-
self. 1t must not be inferred that the mil
lennium has arrived. The President has SIM
ply had to give way before the inevitable logic
of facts He sees that the Boutwelites will as
surely be defeated in Texas and Mississippi as
they were in Virginia and Tennessee; and as
the Conservative Republicans promise to sup
port his polcy-a rash promise, it must be
confessed, as the ways of his policv are past
finding out-he thinks 1t as well to be on the
Winning side,
