force, and all opposed will go down before

TIE CorroN CRop.-Tho Augusta
Ga. ) Chronicle and Sentinel Of Septcm'
bcr 5th says:
aThcre arc no end TO tho spccula'
tions on tho growing crop Of cotton.
One fact, however, is certain, and it is
this: that the crop of 1871 will fall
far short of 1870, owing, in the first
place, and mainly, to the decreased
area of land planted in cotton; and,
in tho second, to unfavorablc seasons
The cotton factors Of Augusta, whose
intelligence and probity will compare
favorably with the factors of any 9th
or city. North or South, have W est'ma-
ted that the present crop will not cN-
ceed 3,275,OOO bales. This estimate
vas not made hurriedly, but after
careful investigation, and represents
the concurrent opinion OF thlrty-two
gentlemen engaged in the cotton bu-
sincss. 1t 4, therefore, entitled to- as
much credcnce rs any estimate yet

ems docs Not differ materially from
those who support the "ncw depart

San he expresses his hearty co-opora'
ton with all Democrats who stand
upon the California Platform-that
is who accept tho three Amendments
US settlement of the issues Of tho
war, but decline to endorse then, as
properly Incorporated into the Con
stitution. This aftor all, is the Ohio
platform, and is all that the Democ
racy of The South proposes to accept
This last onunciation of Mr.. Stephens
would seem then to dispcl any apprc
hcnsionof a want OF harmony in tho
Democratic party Of the South.

TIL CoTToN CRop.-Tho Financial
Chronicle Of Now York gives the
grand total of the cotton crop oi
1901 at 4, ,359, 9,317 bales.
/ Of the above aggregate, 21,60s
)bales were sea island cotton.
The cotton consumption by the
mill, North was 1ooS,956 bales, and
that of the mills South 9!,240 bales
making total American consumption
of 1,1oo,19G bales. s.
The total exports for tho year. are
3,166,742 bales; and the aggregate oi
stocks on hand September lst, 1871
is 1914 bales.
The Cotton Exchange Of New Or
leans in their report Of tho growing
crop say:
ut was generally supposed that
there would be an immense stock on
cotton on hand when the new crop
commenced rolling in. Tho surposi!,
ton was not correct ono. Cotton oi
the bettcr grades is already scarce at
manufacturing points, and it requires
the widest sort of an imagination to
figure up a crop in this country OF
over ], 100000 bales, and the indica-
tions point to even y less amonnt than
that. Our readers will SEQ that it is
strong in New York and Liverpool
with upward tendency. =.

"A Visit to: the Country.

During the past week we had the
pleasure Of a. short sojourn in the
Savannah side Of our District, where
the railroad whistle is not heard, and
where the mails are only "semi-occar
sional." They have however promise
of better things in the future when
if there be no Savannah Valley Road
on this side the River, there will be
an Augusta and Hartwcll Road on
tho other side, answering nearly as
we'll, and bringing the outside world
If not to their doors yet still in con-
venient proximity. That road seems
to be fixed fact-thc first ten miles
to be built in sixty days, and the
whole Road in two years. 1t will
open to our Savannah friends a high
way. to the fertile valleys Of the West,
and to the markets of tho seaboard.
The crops of the Savannah section,
like those of other sections have sui
fered from the prevailing drought.
There will likely bo a sufficicncy of
grain made, but not moro than one
half crop of cotton. ....
During our visit wo had tho oppor-
tunity of attending church at St.
Stephens, under the pastoral charge
of Rev. O. T. Porcher. The old
church, it will bo rccollccted, was
burned..last year, and the congrcga-
ton now worship in a temporary
chapel, but tho Rector, with charac-
teristic energy has already purchased
the material for handsome brick
structure, which will be completed as
soon as sufficient funds arc raised.
The Rector merits all praise for the
sclfsacrifcing zoal with which he
devotes himself to missionary work
in his section. An experienced and
successful instructor, he has one Of
the finest schools for boys in the
State, and upon the time-honored site
of Old Willingtoh, seeks to build up
an institution which shall emulate
its ancient fame and usefulness.
