since uniformly prevailed. and Of the
disruption of former political and social

other impediments.. We find that the re-

111,7i4 bales in 1866, and 165, 316
bales in 1866-67. to, 49,. .0se bales in

culture has not prospered Of late years,
owing chiefly to the ravages Of caterpil-
lars and nniavorable seasons. Dlmi-

unique crop. II rico, receipts, which
were only 4,Olo tierces in 1SG5-6G, and
1887 tieroes in 1866 ST, were 42, GIT in
1871-72; and the exports have increased
from 8, 3,120 tierces in 1866 to 32, ,6lO
tieroes in 1871-72. The superiority Of
Carolina rice is recognized in the prinoi.
pal markets of Europe and Am merica.
The rapid renovation in it's culture
evinces not only the indomitable perse-
Eerance OF the planter, but the wisdom
OF the Government in protecting the
