The Cotton Crop of 1870.

The Agricultural Department at
Washington has issued circular which
Egives an increase to the cotton crop,
and says: The crop this year will ex-
coed $4,000 bales; but the indications
of the seasons thus far, report probabll'
tiles of favorable autumn for maturing
and picking. The top crop does not
, prognosticate return of the remarka-
BE experience of the past season. In
1860, discouragements and drawbacks
appeared with the plant in the spring,
and gradually disappeared: This sea-
son is eliminating in almost unex'
ampled favor with exemptions from de-
s.royins frosts, blighting rains, insects,
and disease. The present crop was
vigorous in early growth, running to
veedrather than boil, and then burned
with drought in August, and subse-
'quently flooded with rain in September.
The boil worm and army worm have
been at work in places, and rust is
more or less prevalent in all the cotton
States. The opening of later 5olls is
unusually we'll advanced in most places,
's:and the last picking promises to be
light. These Indications, instead of
tpointing to an increase Of a third of
"a million of bales, render it proba-
,,ble' that the present crop will be no
larger THAN the last, ard if the re.
'mainder of the season should be very
'unpropitious, reduction of a quarter
of a million bales might result. Anoth
'sr month or two will determine wheth'
..er the present crop shall be limited TO
$500, 900 bales, or rise to 3,5OO,O00,
as expected in the season. The prom
iise of an extra crop upon the present
area in cultivation has reduced thepricc
: to fifteen ceuts per pound, or to the
very verge Of pr5&f'aibIe r5&f cultivation, and
'eorrespunden,s are reporting The ruin
of planters who grow cotton exclusively
and buy all agricultural Supplies.

General John G. Brown.

We are pleased 70 announce that
The disIing uished gentleman whose
nrms heads this article haze consent
cd to become = candidate for Cover

held iH November nexL. We have
already expressed cur preference for
him, and can only now reiteTate that
be Is our 6Fst choice Of al the gen.
tlsmsn whose IAmss have been men
toned in connection With this high
Office. Gen. Browns high character
and abilities are too widely sod IA
vorAbly known 10 require Of ne any
extended notice Of them. In politics
he is conservative yet progressive
opposed 10 radicalism in every shape
and form, and in full sympathy with
the great Conservative and Demo
cratic party of the country. He IL,
in our opinion, emphatically the man
for the crisis. He has no past polit-
icai record to clear up. The entire
Conservative and Democratic els-
mSnt Of the country could unite on
him without sacrifice Of principle or
political feeling, and his candidacy
could thus, and will, doubtless, be
the means Of bringing together and
hsrmonizing all the friends Of cousti-
tutioual government in Tennessee
His views Of the policy which should
at this time be pursued By the peo-
pie Of the South are we'll expressed 10
the Address OF the Democratic and
Conservative members Of Congress, Z"
published elsewhere in our psRer to-
day; and We are authorizs say
that he cordially approves tns Views
and policy therein suggested. His
character for honest worth-his
splendid abilities, and bis we'll known
Conservative views upon all ques
lions Of public policy, eminently
6t him to be the leader of q people
just emerging trom years of political
bondage.

Ia a private individual and en-
franchised citizen we shall vote for no
man, whether Governor or Magis-
trats, who, according to COngress:on-
al construction. is laboring uUder po-

there is no sense in elscting a man
to any position who will be excluded
from taking the position to which be
has been elected. Whatever may be
our ideas about the Justice of the law,

We will not lend our support to any
