Correspondence of the Union and American.
HENDERsoNvlLLE, Sept. I've hear
complaints every day that the cotton is she'd
ding its immature fruit, and that this crop
has already been cut short by at least so per
cent. by the DR., nth. This will be hard on
| this section, for 1t is upon this crop that
| heavier calculations are made than
all other crops combined. THIS
| is getting to be strictly a
cotton region, although it Is the extreme
border of tie northern cotton belt. More
of our farmers are cultivating the staple
this season than ever before. This mania
will meet with somewhat of acheck, by the
present partial failure, snd more caution
will mark future embarkations in cotton
culture, Notwithstanding some of our larg-
est planters, Coils. Smith G. Wherry, think
cotton the most renumerative crop grown
in this region, however ungenerous may be

taking into account all the costs Of produc-
ton and fuc.uaIion of price.

Cotton throughout the entire cotton re-
gion is not as good as we are wont to be
made to believe by selfish regeneration ON
the part of spectators, and producers had
better take the hint in time. and not make
premature transfers. 1t is said that there
will not be the same monetary stringency
felt this fall that there was last, owing to
the fact that our expectations are largely in
excess of our importations, and it is to be
hoped, on this account, farmers will be
abe to keep their crops beyond the infu-
ence of SPECTATORS, by this freedom Of
money facilities, and owe nothing to Gran
ges. Oranges can be operative only when
money matters are easy, and in this case
they arc not needed, except for political
purposes.

Corn, potatoes and the hog crop are

ject to blight. The malady is peculiar,
and as sudden, insiduous and stealing in
its nature as it is fatal, not even giving the
victim the benefit of clergy, or vice versa.

A REMARKABLE CURE.

depression assumed to the extent of forcing
the stomach from lis natural position and
changing the whole exterior aspect of the
abdominal and sternal sphere. Weeks and
months were occupied in the progress of
the disease as described, and in the mean
time the best medical advice was procured

pathology of the situation was Instantly ap-

promptly indicated and applied. One gal
lon and half of an aqueous and bloody
fluid was taken away, and the stomach at
once receded to its natural position, the pa

the operation-less than was expected, and
is doing first rate. He is able to take his
normal proportion of food into his stom ach

physical canacity of the stomach was SO

was scarcely sufficient to contain food nee
essary to sustain life; consequ ntly he was
fast declining until his. trip to Charleston.

the case is managed so as to prevent a re-

permanent, and from the knowledge and
skill SO far manifested by the attendant
physicians, we are warranted in the belief,
that no further trouble will be experienced,
