TIE POSITION OF COrTON.

The following remarks on The present situa
ton OF the cotton trade, from the New York
Daily Bulletin, of the lst instant, and Easton's
Circular, will be found OF interest:
The liberal receipts of last week, followed
by the continued very free arrivals with the
opening Uf the present week, have counteraet.
ed, to great extent, all other Influences, and
holders who have been awaiting the indlca-
lions of declaration Of peace between Inc
contending European powers as O proDaOie
stimulus upon which the market would adj
vance, being much disappointed with the
rather unexpected contrary state OF affairs,
begin to feel discouraged. There Is no pres
sure to realize, but good many more sellers
than heretofore and closer inquiry as to how
much cotton Is likely to be wanted during
1871. The amount OF stock available and
awaiting market Is, as we have time and
time again asserted. large and much in excess
of last year, aud unless the anticipated Contl-
mental demand does SET in, or some relief Is
afforded, this must soon begin to have very
depressing Influence. as pertinent to this
subject we extract the following from the Cir
cular of Messrs. Easton d Co.:
"Some surprise has been expressed that6he
heavy amount of American cotton, now IN
sight, does not cause more pressure 10 sell.
The reason Is, that the bankers having bought
shipments are now carrying very heavy
amount of cotton. We estimate the amount
at about 950O0O bales, as follows: Shipped to
Continent past nine weeks, l64, ,994; atlUat foT
Liverpool, 32G, 600; shipped last week, $4,000;
10000 OF the Liverpool stock arrived before
maturity of the drafts; 100000 OF United States
stock on shipboard, not Yet cleared, olt
against which the bills have been sold to
bankers The drafts against this cotton has
been drawn at 60 days. sight, and 1t will take
about Is days before they are due: Bank
ers, then, are carrying about s63,OOO,OOO in
cotton bills. AS long as these bills are not
due, the holders OF The cotton can exercise
their discretion about selling, but there will be
no recourse but the sale OF the cotton In q
short time. Bills are not likely to be renewed,
as it Is the general opinion among conservs;
tive bankers here and abroad that peace will
be followed by tight money in London and
rise in the bank rate. The money deposited
there by French and German capitalists lor
safety will be withdrawn, and large amounts
besides will be wanted to repair the damages
caused by the war;"

IN INCENDIARY FIRE.

Our townsman, Mr.. Burt Maybin, on Monday
night last, was made to suffer the loss OF ABOUT
$4,000 worth of property through the hendish
burning of his stables, eight head Of valuable
horses and mules, corn cribs containing eight
hundred bushels of corn, and all his fodder.
Mr.. MaybIn's plantation Is on the Union side
of the line which divides Union from New
berry, but he resides here in town, aud he was
not there at the time Of this terrible disaster.
The Information brought to town Is that both
stable and cribs were fred from each end,
which showed fell purpose that no failure
should occur. 1t Is to be hoped that the tiends
who perpetrated this outrage will be caught
and brought to punishment
Since the above was put In type, Mr.. Maybln
has had an interview With Governor Scott.
relative to this outrageous crime, and he tells
us that the Governor is much concerned, and
promises TO take steps tor the apprehension OF
the incendaries, and do all in his power to
prevent like occurrences. There is not a
Shadow Of doubt but that the fire was set.
The stables are distant from the dwelling
there had been no fire there during the day
and when it was discovered both ends OF the
stable were burning. The loss IS heavy, anu
we deeply sympathize with Mr. Maybin, anu
at the same time think that he pursued rlsnt
course in waiting on Governor Scott ana max

-AFFAIRS INKERsHAW.
Condition and Temper of the County
rFRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT ]

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
CAMDEN, February 2.
Teattempt to write letter In these dull
times, is an herculean task; but in lieu OF items
of startling interest, your correspondent will
content himself and your readers, he hopes,
by detailing our internal affairs.
We of Kershaw County are blessed by
| having the queteSt and most pacific people in
the State. Since the murder OF Solomon
George Washington Gill, a prominent Radical,
| three years ago, there has been no violent
| outrage perpetrated within our borders, and
| we have also been measurably free from In
cendiarisn. In financial view, however,
we are not in so comfortable q condition. A
great many farmers used last year large
quantities OF different kinds of fertilizers, and
many Of them have proved worthless, and,
therefore, instead OF increasing the yield. have
| in most cases produced failure. This will
cause the planters to be very wary In The
choice of fertilizers for the current year, and
| less By half will be used than during 1870.
| The only way In which manufacturers will be
able to sell their guanos, Is by guaranteeing
| the standard and reducing their prices to
reasonable figures, and by giving their patrons
No. article. Otherwise, In the course of q
few years, the manufactures Will be compelled
to cease operations from want Of support
debt OF the county, under the management OF
| incompetent officials. IL has assumed magnif-
cent proportions. The total collections OF
taxes for two years amounts to about $40 600,
while the expenditures for the same length OF
| time amounts to about 5000 for purposes OF
the county, besides debt due the State Asy-
lum for pauper lunatics, amounting to about
sl4OO. Thus 1t will be perceived that the
county is about sll 500 In debt. 1t Is curious
to note, that ont OF poll-taX assessed at s3O59,
only $3.50 have been collected for the year
1869. amounting to within fifty or one hun
dred dollars OF the poll-tax of the lohlss.
Assuming that $1,000 was received during
last year on account Of poll-laX, and
assuming s3059 to be the correct assessment
1t will be perceived that there is due on said
tax more than f4l00. The treasnrer,s office
shows that most OF the whites have paid their
taxes-poll and otherwise-whle most of the
colored people are still In arrears, and the
State government Is Just now, for the frst
time. going TO press collection. The reason
Of this is evident, viz the supply Of money
from Kimpton Is said to be exhausted, the
treasury is empty, and there appears to be no
way in which the wind eau be raised to run
The government.
Most PERSONS will DE unable to meet the pay
ment of taxes for the past year, and we ven
lure the prediction that the State Will be the
owner of several magnificent baronles, or land
enough TO compose lhem, before the curtain
falls upon A. u. 1871 in kIKsuAw.
