COTTON PROSPECTS IN THE STATE.

A Gloomy Report from BarnweH.
The following Is an extract from letter re-.
celved from Barnwell yesterday BY promi-
nent factor of this city:
regret to have to report that cotton, 80
far as have seen and Inspected 1t. is not as
good as usual, there being In my oplnion not
Exceeding One.third Of the bolls on early cot
ton that ought to be on 1t OF this season. This
is caused, I have no doubt, by the injury done
by lice. Possibly the cotton, though 1t looks
bad and poor, may make up by late fruitage
for the defect In the early part of the season.
The young crop that escaped lice is better
fruted. The weed is generally unusually
large.
The First Boil from Florence.
An esteemed correspondent, writing from
Florence yesterday, says:
Herewith send you the first cotton boil OF
the season In this section. It was taken from
the plantation of Mr.. John Howe on the l7th
instant. where many more are now TO be
seen. He has forty acres planted, all looking
and doing exceedingly well. Should nothing
occur to prevent, be e1pects to have a bale In

Judge who wore the ermine of the United

name of that Judge who, when the authority
of his court was challenged, called upon his
marshal to put him at the head OF the posse
of the court, declaring, in words that should
never die, that he never wished to outliVe
the law.

of the petitioners. He said that he regretted
