"Washington, Sept. 17. i i _/ j 4 tic fcausncian oi -uiu uupu iTncnt 6i agriculture, Mr. Dodge, lias returned from Europe, and after a careful revision of the monthly returns, gives the following as the present status of tho cotton crop: The indicated increase of area is aiKttleover ten percent. The condition of -the crop is higher than in September of last year in Arkansas and the same in Tennessee, and lower in* each of the other cotton Stated. The worms have been more abuudant, but their ravages have been disastrous or sweeping in few TKa ofloenn Vi!l>S TP X UC OV^MOVU uuu M ?V? _ w markable for its rain-fall, tending to, a farther depreciation of the crop. Otherwise, the conditions have been quite favorable. Fertilizers have stimulated growth, and labor'has been steadier and more reliable. The cotton exchange of Xew Orleans makes the following report as to the condition of the cotton crop in'South Carolina : Seven counties send in twentyone letters. The weather since our last report has been exceedingly wet, and complaints are universal of shedding and rust having injured the plant maaerially. Worms, also, otv> rAnnrtaii in most cases heard ? ? _ from, but without doing much serious injury so far. Picking lias generally begun, and will be under! full Jieadwav at the date on whichI we write. *fhe probable yield perl acre compared with that of last season, and frost occurring at the usual tiirq*, is variously estimated, but tfre majority of opinions indicate a material reduction on last year's figureso Municipal Election in Charleston.?God. John A. Wagner has been unanimously nominated by tho ConConvention a candidate for re-election as Mayor of Charleston. The Republican uoraince is Mr. Geo. I.^CsHtMiujghaaa, of whom tho ITerce MfcssJ ' Mr. George I. Cunningham, tho Radical candidate for Mayor, was born, we believe, in Tennessee, and first came to Charleston with a drove ot cattle long before the war. Findi&**;a favorable opportunit}-, he went ifito business as a butcher, gradually accumulating a handsome property. Mr. Cunningham was elected Alderman of Charleston on tho Pillsbury (Radical) ticket in 1868, and at the OiaiU uiuciiuu last jcni xiu ?? ?o cd county commissioner. For this office ho was nomiuatcd on the Mackcy ticket, and bo was one of the very fccandidates on that ticket who had polled a jigher vote than the Bowen candidates, Mr. Cunningham a j^brewd, plain busiucss man, and id ,outspoken in bis denunciation of the stealing and knavery of the Republican party, with which, however, lie always votes. The election comes off on the 1st of October, and thcro is every prospect of tbor Corteervatfve eandid^riuw urn c, and Seward.?The Ootober number of the Gallaxy contains an interesting article from Secretary Gideon "Wells, criticising the memorial address of Charles jFjfnncis Adams, upon the late Wm. II. Seward, on the ground that it eulogises the latter at the expense of 'President Lincoln. According to Mr. Wells, Lincoln was a man of deeper convictions than Mr. Seward, and was tlie master mind of;his own cabinet. ^ The Dorn Mine. ?

Cotton Market.?Since the 1st September some 270 bales of new cotton have been received at the Abbeville Depot. During the past week some 207 bales have been received. Owing to the money crash at the North, cotton drafts have been unsalable here, and there has hence been a stand-still in the cotton market during the past few daj-s.

I The Burning of Columbia. < # i The ColumLie Phoenix, in publishing ( an article from the Wilmington Journals I * ' commenting upon a recent batch of j 1 letters which General Sherman has produced to pi-ovo that ho did not I burn Columbia, gives tho following , (clear summary of the facts ol the ] burning as they occurred: The Wilmington Journal facetiously : comments on the last batch of evidence put forth by Gen. Win. Tecumseh Sherman, relative to the burning of ' Columbia. lie has proven himself a skillful manipulator, as he mixes enough truth with his evidence to ^ivc it the appearance of genuinenesB. That a party of thren Federal soldiers or officers did cross the Congaree in a battcau,and drive through the streets of Columbia, and wcro fired upon by U _1_?? I some Straggling mem uui & ui uucciuro cavalry, is true; that some of the ' stores in the city were robbed by Confederate soldiers or stragglers bolore and during the retreat of the army, is also true; but that there was any cotton on fire in streets before the Federal army entered, is false. The head of the column halted near the P market, at half-past 11 o'clock, on tho 1 morning of tho 17th of February. Shortly afterwards, the soldiers were i scattered about tho streets, and in . half an hour tho jail was fired; theflames, however, were soon extinguished?some of the soldiers assisting. This was followed by the firing [ of the cotton on Main street, on the block between Washington and Lady streets. The last fire was so effectual ally extinguished, that by 3 o'clock, ' tho "Boe Store," immediately opposite where the cotton had been bnrnt, was sacked by a party of soldiers? tin-cups, frying-pans, etc., being seized with avidity?while others stood in the street, looking on and applauding. ( Gen. Sherman, with his staff, entered the city, and rode down Main street, shortly after the cotton was fired. About C o'clock in the ovening, the ! Charlotto depot was fired and destroy- ed ; shortlj' afterwards, the wooden J buildings on Gcrvais or Bridge street I were burnt down?theso conflagra- 1 tions being loeated from one-quarter < to thrco-quarters of a mile from the ( scene of the then extinguished cotton j fire; and about half-past7 o'clock, the , stores on the West side of Main street, , (directly opposite where the cotton j had been burnt during the day,) wore fired. The work of incendiarism was then carried on so rapidly in different 1 portions of the city, that it wasimpos- 1 sible to keep pace with it. These are ' the facts of the case?the statements i of Gen. Sherman and his officers to 1 the contrary, notwithstanding. ] Temperance Dinner at Mt CarmeL ? tulitor Abbeville Press $ Banner: * Saturday 13th September was a Jay designated by tho Good Templars '[ )f Mt. Carmel and vicinity to signal- t zc their aevotion to the cause of t rcmpcrancc and give its glorious c irinciples a lift toward the ascendant. \ The object and design of this pub- t ip. demonstration was, if possible, to c jccurc an expression of sentiment in c eforenec to the banishment of ardent s spirits from our community, and, if ^ossiblo, by united concert of action v alee some steps by which this revolt- ] ng traftic in ardent spirits might be mppivssed and rendered obedient to he requisitions of an enlightened mblic sentiment, . / The day was bright, beautiful and | Propitious for the occasion, and from ' :arly morn to high twelvo everything k vas agog for the scene of action, t fohn driving and cossack riding man- f fested itself on every side, and from ? he roll and rattle of carriages and n he active and heavy tread of podes- rj rians and horsemen moving up it c vas manifest that some incentive ? noved the masses. At the hour of ^ en, at the tap of the bell, the' signal ^ AAm r?A ^ given, auu it jjrvwooivii wmjjuing the Mt. Carmel Lodgo, with rep- r cscntativcs from Shiloh, Lowndes- r rille. and Elberton, arrayed in their littinetive costume, with banners flyng from their ranks, were marched j mder the militaay guidance of Mr. ,, [\ B. Scott, marshal of tho day, to , he Masonic Hall, where seats had | teen prepared to meet tho necessities >f tho vast concourse which bad as- ; emblcd. Order and decorum ruled ,] he hour, and naught but cheering e irords and smiling fiaccs touched the v ar and charmed the vision. p At 11 o'clock tho intellectual part f tho programme was opened by ho introduction of the Rev. R. It. ti )agnall, who gracefully stepped to }j ho front with his lanco in order, }j nd for a good length of time this g; lan of God and fearless defender of r 'emperanco rang the changes upon he pre-eminent vice of tho ago?the Sj' ice of intemperance and that class ^ f men who are daily turning into " < .!) Iw dipir tmffin multitudes which 0 man can number. The stereoypcd twaddle and stale sayings ,-hich the advocates of free iudul;cncc often bring forward in justifi- ti at-ion of their defilement, was exmined into by the light of reason, ,nd before the speaker was dono this tart of the^oius homo stood at coniderablo discount. The speech was 1 masterly effort, and the sentiments ittered upon the occasion will live hroogh tho limits of time and tell ipon the page of eternity. r The next speaker introduced was ,apt. Jas. R DuBose, of "Washingon, Georgia. This much loved and )ious Christian, whose heart is ever ittuned for that which is good, whose roice has often been heard in our * nidet pleading tho cause of God and nan, said he could not be silent under - ho inspiz*ation of the hour. Since ho close of the second revolution ^ md the JownfalPof the Confederacy, ho speaker was pained to announce a hat the moral and civil tone of the I sountry wasio a deplorable condition, d md intemperance and its concomitant 1 sviU were upon tho increase. Fathers md mothers were eloquently warned j o wake from ihcir lethargic slumber, i md recognize more full}* the respon- 1 iibilily resting upon them.

The eausc oi' Temperance snfforcd 10 detriment in the hands of the Uaptain, and wo arc proud to say, in 10 fulsome praise, he received the nlaudit of well done by all who heard * liim'. The next eloquent spceclu was the Jinncr. A most bouutiful and elegant repast had been furnished,' and the ladies, robed in their dazzling beauty, Lho cvnosuro of all eyes, took their position by invitation at the table t presenting a picture more exquisitely beautiful than the easel of an inspired artist could have drawn. Substantial!?, cakes, mince pies, puddings, jumbles, and everything known in the vocabulary of cookery was there in rich profusion, and epicurean palates wero heartily gratified, and a long and loud amen was given to the excellency of the dinner, The day was enjoyed as becomcs a ouvistian people, and when the annals of our community are written, it will stand on the record of passing events as a day of enjoyment and profit to which , all will point. C. Of Judge Cooke the Greenville Republican*ays: "Thiswas our first experience of Judge Cooke on the civil side of the court. In our judgment, he passed through the ordeal remarkably well. He evinced a vi^or of intellect, a quickness of perception, a soundness of judgment and a knowledge of the law which insures his success upon the bench." jSgf?
