. The SOUTHERN CoTToN CRoP LAST
YEAR.-The Germantown Pa.) 1ele- |
graph asserts that the cotton crop of
last year instead of reaching only two
and ahalf millions of bales, as repre-
scented, amounts to--according to the
best information to be obtained on the
subject-three millions two hundred
and thirty-seven thousand bales. The
value of the crop is set down at three
hundred millions of dollars, showing
a greater profit to the planter than
was ever derived during the existence
of slavery, and with much less trou-
BILE. At this rate it will not take
many years for the Southern planters
to be fully Unidentified for the loss of
their slave property, getting rid of q
world of bother and anxiety besides.
