put the cotton crop now being exported az more

Is considerably above the maximum crop before
the war. In 1856. for instance, our crop Is set
down at 3,ee0, $50 bales, which is about the
standard. Not only has the existing free labor
OF the South been found TO run into the cultiva-
ton OF cotton, rather than Of pork and bread

than one which ties them up to one spot and
occupation year after year. at present the in
