The Cotton Crop.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., February 15.-The
following is a synopsis OF the returns OF
the cotton crop to the Agricultural Blu
reau to date: The returns Of product in
bales make an aggregate Of over G,S00,000
distributed as follows: Virginia, $4,000;
North Carolina, $4,000; South Carolina,
GIG, 900; Georgia. 920,0 COO; Florida, 81, 900;
Alabama, 7Si 900; Mississippi, 1,Oi2,O0O;
Louisiana, $4,000; Texas, 1,326,0OO Ar
kansas, GS7, 900; Tennessee, 337, 600; Mis-
souri,, $4,000; other territory, $4,000. The
unusual length OF the season for ma
turing is given very generally as an
important factor Of the increased pro-
duction. The late growth was so
vigorous in portions OF the area
cultivated that much immature cotton was
destroyed by frost, Notwithstanding the
lateness Of the season. The returns are
nearly unanimous in declaring the staple
longer than usual, whittier, and comparative
" free from trash. a few report shorter
staple. The amount OF lint produced in
proportion to seed is reported greater than
usual I'm half to two thirds OF all the returns
executing in Virginia and Missouri, where
the majority report the usual average yield.
In very few counties is the rate OF Yield
less than the average.

Captain Mnnigerode to live, but he ala,
and the last this writer saw Of him was
when he was mounted on rse-iitter,
surrounded by an anxious and sympathetic
crowd Of surgeons, ward-masters, ana nos
nital attaches, who almost shrunk from
committing this precious life, then in a
nrecariOus condition, TO so uncertain
a conveyance. But it was his only
chance 10 get to Richmond. The lit
ter was TO take him to Cart'rsVllle'

Richmond by canal The litter was so
constructed as to rest upon two horses,

was not one who did not send after 1t the
earnest wish that the journey might he
safely performed. The journey was made
and the gallant young stranger reached his
home and friends safely.
