THE COTTON CROP
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1.-THE september cotton
returns OF the Department of Agriculture, snow
a very heavy decline IN the prospects Of the
cotton crop III all States except Virginia there it
about holds its own.
The cotton crop Of Virginia is to small how
ever, t" exercise any influence on the general rc-
suit
The STATE averages are as follows:
Virginia IS; North Carolina 81; Sonth Carolina
So; Georgia II; Florida II; Alabama 81; Mlssis-
slppi =; Louisiana 81; Texas 81. Arkansas IL:
Tennessee IS.
The leading cause of this decline is the prcya-
lencc over large sections Of Il severe droun, ac-
companed by intense heat. In many localities |
hot winds have pa ched the crop, and in one on |
two cases destroying 1t within half hour Sew
eral counties report no ram for four or five
months.
T., Al,
trely destroyed, the bolts having all fallen. The
middle crops are also badly in, ured in few 10
catles. General rams have made very fine
crops, but the number OF these fay )red spots Is
very small
In the Atlantic cotton States cool nights and
heavy rains are alleged as the of decline
The drouth has prevented the increase of insects,
They are reported in very few counties. and have
been nowhere very injurious

The 1cua"cie lives the following history of
affairs i'll this section: During the civil war
his region was ovcrrun by squads of gterilIas
claiming allegiance to both North and South, but
really serving neither.
Col. Hawkins commanded a regiment Of Fede-

adjacent to Gibson, and several parties Of south
ern adheIents roamcd over that region, both
sides taking property from the citizens at will.
Many deeds Of hood We're perpetrated during
this period. At the close Of hostillties many Of
these disbanded guerlllas remained in the coun-
ty, and for three years or more there was a regu-
lar understanding between them in the range Of
country embracing Dyer, Madison. Gibson, Tip
ton and McNalry counties.
Over the whole range of country from the Mis-
sis-ippi River to the Tennessee River, rapne ar
son, robbery and murder were almost OF daily oc-
currence One Budd Evans the acknow-
edged leader Of these predatory night ha wks,
and perfect reign Of terror prevailed among the
most respectable citizens. Gov Brownlow and
his administration were the relgniug authorities
but they were powerless to stop bloodshed or
check lawles4nea-. Men torn from their

left dead By the roadside, often not being allowed
to say single prayer, and for no offense.
The Governor threatened to cal ont the
militia. but nothing came Of it. nor could the au-
