The report of the Agricultural Bureau, |
Just issued, shows the increase of the |
cotton acreage ever last year to be near |
" twelve per cent. The present cOndi- |
ton of crops stand as follows: Florida, |
two per cent above the annual average:
all others far below viz: Virginia and
Alabama, seven per cent; North Caro- |
lima, fifteen: South Carolina, twelve:
Georgia and Louisiana six: Mississippi
and Arkansas eight; Texas fourteen and
Tennessee ten. The acreage cultivated
will fall considerably below that planted
last year. The weather generally dur
ing the last week in May was favorable,
and there was q hopeful prospect that
the condition of the crop would rapidly
improve. Worms and caterpillars have
made an early appearance at various
points, and are causing considerable ap-
prehension of destructive ravages. No
estimate of the crop is made. The statis-
tical return of corn, completed to June
1st, does not include the area and condi-
| ton, for reason that it is too early, but
| foot notes of correspondence show that
| the planting Of corn in most sections of
| the country has been much retarded by
excessively wet and cold weather, and
! that the pests which usually thrive in
seasons, the cnt worms, have commenced
operations on large scale, and threaten
to endanger the crops.

cities earning generally six dollars per
day. In the rural districts travelling
expenses were paid in addition. There
are usually about seven hundred bills
each month, or that many guagers en-
ployed.
| LOUISIANA.
Report says Senator West, of Louisi-
ana, has written a letter on the political
sitration in that State. in which he says
for the future the salvation of Louisi-
ana is in her emancipation from disor-
der, debt, and disgrace, the progress of
her material interest, and her restora-
ton to all her former greatness, and
still further advancement; and that
such reforms may be effected in the uni
fication of all who profess Republican
principles, and can only be ieeparded by
abstraction among those who entertain
them. He expresses the opinion that no
new election will be ordered i'll Louisi-
ana by Congress. Still further advance
ment rests with the adoption bv the
citizens of principals of equal rights
and justice to all regardless of color, in
the laying aside of prejudice, and in adj
mitting that all vices do not pertain to
one race, nor all the virtues to the other
He opposes the Beauregard movement,
because, among other reasons, it pro-
poses the creation of q new party, WHEN
all needed reforms may be effected in
the unification of all who profess Repnb-
lican principles.
