TILE COTTON CROP

Intelligent farmers from various
quarters in this section of country
express the opinion that rust and the
prevailing drought will cut off the
crop here to one.half the yield an
ticipated three weeks ago. The re-
ports from the entire Cotton belt,
from various causes, are to the same
effect.
The spinning interest at the North
and in Europe persist in holding to
1000, 900 bales for the crop Of 1878,
and in urging the opinion that prices
will decline. Our opinion is but
we wish 1t taken only as a cotton
opinion---,hat the cotton crop will
fall far short Of last year and that
prices will advance.

Wharf.-The PEOPLE Would Do
A New York Herald reporter, inter-
viewing Mr.. McCullagh, an Illinois
editor, asked him what the rank and
file OF the army would do il the time
was suspicious for a Cesar TO seize
the Government, aud received the
following reply: 1.-THE rank and file
Of the regular army would obey orr
ders; bu. man going through two
counties Of the State Of Illinois with
an old battle-dag and fife and drum
would in twenty-four hours, recruit
men enough to sweep West Point
and the regular army out Of exis-
tence. Logan, with the battle. flags
Of Fort Donelson, would have an
army large enough TO demand the
unconditional surrender Of the Army
Register and everything else belong
ing to Caesar.
All !! the misfortune 10 the people
won't know Caesar when he comes.
He will still be effectually disguised
rs one of their beloved pets, until he
chooses to show his regalia.
