North Carolina's cotton s rea is given at 625,900 in 18*79 and at 590, 500 in 1S78: corn area at 1,711,900 , in 1879 and at 1,002,000 in 187S. The whole .thing from beginning lo end looks to us like^Department bosh. If Georgia was planting 700,000 more acres in corn than in cotton in 1879, what wa''the "ground of cora plaint about diminished cora area? We are convinced that the state ment of cotton area is absurdly under what it was for South Carolina as wei1 as Georgia. Now, as lo yield per acre, we lind this Department Report puts North Carolina for 1879 at 15C pounds lint vcr acre; South Carolina at 143 pounds, and Georgia at 150. So for 1878 we have North Carolina at 1C9 pounds, South Carolina at lG?pounthr ami Georgia at ICI pounds. We thus have South Carolina put > in IS79 at an average ol' five pounds lea3 Utan the worst average of twelve years in the cotton belt, which was in 1871 72. ; ?The absurdity of the ? Department statement is shown in, the fact that thc accepted crop for South Carolina in 1879 is 522,000 bales, whilst the Agricultural Department Ggiirn arc 135,077,800 pounds, or 0: ? 7,<'.'.'! bales oF400 pounds cacti-some 200,000 bales short. in view of Hie whole matter we arc not prepared to dispute, but rather to ?-tis?.ain, Latham & Alexander's aroa figures -or routh Carolina in 1881-82, given at 1,GT>G,000 acre? We are prepared to accept at- the least 1,000,000 acres as South Caro lina's cotton area inlS79. This, with au inciease of 20 per cent on area r|i 187'. i for 1880, would give South Car olina a colton area of 1,500,000 acre* in 1880, and with an increase of G per cent on area of 1S80 for 1881 would give the State 1,G53,000 acres colton area for ] 880 S2. We find Ihe increase of area for cotton belt, as given by "Cotton j Movement," was for 1S.S0 over 27 per ! cent on 1879, and for 1S81-82 .some! ! per cent, ou 1S80. We think, 'hen, i we may fairly take the area assigned j South Carolina by the great New York ba ?king house as not far from tho truth. With 1,05(1,(100 a? our cotton area then, what ol'the crop'.' Taking Ihe lowest average yield in twelve year8 of cotton belt, vi;:: 148 pounds per acre, we would have as South Uaroll na's crop 000,220 bale?, of IOU pounds each. Seventy-iiveiier cent ol' tbis would give ns a crop of 454,004 l?ales o?.400 pounds each.

Mrs. Sima is the grand-daughter of Mrs. Dunlap, and the great-grand daugh ter of Robert Crawford, the uncle o1 Gen. Jackson. When Jackson started out in life his guardian gave him his patrimony, which at that day was no mean sum. In conclusion I may say that my mother named you^^rilorin, ant for her cousin, Andrew .?ackson. When President, Gen. Jackson often sent him presents and after he retired ro the "Hermitage" he sent him an invitation to make him a visit, as he wished to see a descendant of his lav" orite cousin, ?Sarah Crawford. The death of Gen. Jackson prevented the intended visit.-Andrew Jackson \V.f to the New Orleans Times. The foregoing Jacksonian commu nication was clipped from the New Orleans Times a few days ago. It juras written by my kinsman, the Rev Andrew Jackson Witherspoon, who is Pastor of the Seaman's Bethel in New Orleans. I send it to you be cause the smallest items pertaining to the great men of the past are always interesting to ns. Mr. Witherspoon's statement in tcgard lo the snuff box induces me to say a word about it. When the secession ordinance was passed by South Carolina (50 years ago) Jackson was President, and he wrote an autograph letter to Mrs Dun lap (nee Mary Crawford, the [ lay mate and sweetheart ot his boy hood) reminding her of his afire" lion ate regards for her and his kins people in South Carolina he de nounced in strong terms the hersey of his native Slate, and said as Pres illent he would he obliged to send a military foree into South Carolina lo execute the laws of tlie Government if tbs ordinance of nullification should be put to the test, lie then warned Mrs. Dunlap if lier sons should lie found in the ranks of the country s enemies he would be com peiled to deal with them without re ! gard to personal feelings. And he sent her, at the same time the sun if box as a souvenir of his kindly re membrance The snuff-box is a sea 3hell, (tortoise,) oval, 8 inches long j by 21 inches diameter. On the out" j side of the lid is the American eagle, 'just over its head, "Jan. S, 1S15," and above this "U. S. P. Brandywine, 182S." On (lie inside of the lid u inscribed. "To A. Jackson, 'rom D i M. Stokes." For (he last seven ot ! ei dit years I have been frying to ge! I hold of the letter written by Prest I dent Jackson lo Mrs. Dunlap. As it j is not in I lie pos-ession of any of hit immediate descendants, ? presume ' that her two Hon??, who were violent Nullifiers, must have torn it to pieces as soon as they read it.

The line of Ibis road is particularly rich io water power?. There are in Ab" bevilio and Anderson Counties cot less than forty valuable water pow? rs -one-half of which jarcnld turn tl.e spindles of the United Stales. While these facts are susceptible ol prooi it is also true that the line of this ro:-;d, for a greater part of ilse distance, is thiriy milos or mor-.- from the line ol any other road. If the people aloi.g the line will do a lit!le work them selves capital will not be slow lo come to their aid. Much of tito road in Anderson has already been graded and we presume the work will be pushed in this county also. Abbe ville has contributed liberally and will yet give much more. Railroads are so valuable to the people in con tributing to the public treasury that we are in favor of taxation for grad ing roads. As a''money investment, it pays the county, aud for this rea son we should be willing to tax the waole property of the county to build a road in any part of our boundary Tiie Columbia and Greenville Rail road in this county is assessed at half a million dollars or one-tenth of all the property in the county. If forty miles ot railroad pays faxes oneo large an amount, what would we get with the Savannah Valley and the Green wood and Augusta Railroads ii nisbet! ? Oiiis would certainly be a county rich in Railroads.-Abbeville Press and Banner. The Elections-- Virginia. Looking over the field, in the light ol'yesterday's returns, it is evident that, where public opinion was free tc express itself effectively at the p>dis, the Democrats have pained and thc Republicans have lost ground. New York is a conspicuous exam ple of t his. The Democrats have car ried the State handsomely, and, ai the same tim?, the growing strength ol' the Independent vote is expressed in the rebuke to Tammany, andiu thc defeat o? the golden call, young As tor.

Baisingrlfair by Use Crop. Thousands of girls in Switzerland, Germany and Norway denote them selves to the cultivation of their hair as resolutely as a farmer does his crops. Once n year the merchant, very often an old woman, arrives in the village, and a brisk trade is oar r>d on. The Swiss giris make the most, as nature lias bestowed on them an abundant crop of the blonde tvljr, which is hardest of all to obtain, and the climate is evidently pr.ipit'ous to its growth. The price obtained de pends upon the length of the redun dant liesses.
