Our exchange!' are still discuss*! itig ihe probable aggregate of the; present cotton crop?a question i upon which two of the highest authorities, the Finajicial Chronicle and the Agricultural Bureau, differ as much us 800,000 bales?the first estimating the crop at 4,300,000 and the other at 3,500,000 bales. The receipts up to the 25th December are about a quarter of a million in excess of those of last year, but it 'U thought that the pecuniary pressure upon the planters has forced the crop |o market, and that the next fewTmonthij will show a great falling off in the receipt*. If t his be ho. wej may look for a corresponding improvement in prices, which will justify all in holding on to their ^ottou who can do so. With regard to the size of the crop aiid its effect upon prices, the Chronicle and Sentinel says: "The Atlantic States .are pretty well drained. We hear from friends who have travelled over them extensively that per cent, has gone forward. The greatest probability appears to be j that the receipts will fall short ot last year. Mow. what does this i point to ? . So far the receipts ex cced last year by 225,000 bales; this added "to the crop of .1873-'4? 4,175,000 ? comes to 4,400,000? < and the question'- arises in what proportion will the receipts fall off? which to answer we must either tak$' statistics to hand (precedents) find draw conclusions, or fall to guessing. , The Commercial and Financial ' Chro7^icie allots its share to each 1 Stat^itid adds upw4,300,000. This ' o Aiiiin/v aF inn nnn hdinc i C411VJ vr o ib0iuinii? uu WE <ivv)W v from our calculation above. In 1 weeks from the 18th Decern- ] ber^he 1st January we lost from ' the surplus about 80,000 bales 1 which would allow a falling off of < 20,000 bales for the balance of the i season in order to reduce the crop to the estimate of the Chronicle, and this we think is improbable. ] The present price of middling up- ( lands,-7^ or about ? below the av- j erage price of last year, stands in [ proportion to a crop of mi'lions, t and as it becomes clearly percepti ble to all interested in the articel ^ that we shall not reach this figuer an advance in prices will take g place. A Bfcpp.n^.;. disposition to ^ hold cotton manifests itself in this -w. ? .1 1 ? . j ? country, it is also trie reat oDjeci g of the Granger combination to v withhold as much cotton as possi- ? ble until it is positively needed and j then sell it at a high price. This j will probably lessen receipts at ports for some time to come and influence prices. The assertion ^ that too much cotton is produced, t and that more goods are manufactured than the-world n?eds, is fre- j cjueutly* heard. The world has ^ successfully disposed ot several c monster crops and at a consideraii ? i ?i.i iraj ? dij niguer average price iuau iju^, ^ and as consumption steadily increases from year to year we cannot assume as probable that because possibly this year's crop may exceed last year by a few thousand " bales a shriukage of 2 or 3 cents should be necessitated." ; a Mr. ,W.

".. numnnir The Edgefield Troubles. .A committee of gentlemen, con* sisting of Gen. Butler and Messrs. Mealing, Shaw, Butler, Porter and McKie, waited upon Gov. Chamberlain in the interest of good order and peace in that county. They represented that Tennant, the militia captain, had recently marched his company to Edgefield Court House, and recovered the arms, with many rounds of ammunition, which liorl Koon trmrlf> tn lin ? ?- - ' t some time ago. He bad instituted drills, and was marching about the county mostly at night, and ail night in the Curryton neighborhood. Alarm had spread in all directions. A public meeting had been held, and this committee appointed to represent the danger to the Governor, and to request that he issue an order to have the arm9 withdrawn and placed in safe-keeping. Judge Carpenter was present at the interview mid pronounced the retention of the.arms belonging to the State by the militiamen as not warranted by law and a violation of the public peace. Gov. Chamberlain thanked the committee for the good judgment and discretion of their action, and promised to issue an order to Tennant and liia company to return the arms wifhnnt-. delav. The whole pro Deeding had been entirely without his knowledge or consent. We nre glad to see that Judge Carpenter has declared against the legality of thus furnishing the militia with State arms to. be retained by them, and trust if any of the companies ot the "bloody eleventh" have still these munitions of war, they will please sur-| render them to the proper authorikIz-vo TVio mine in KH<rr>fiplf] nrp perhaps more dangerous than with us, who have less combustible material in both races, but they may 3o harm, and had better be given up.

The Lien Law?Important Rulings. Upon a motion to dissolve attachment on the agricultural lien in the case ol J. It. Kirkpatrick vs. B. F. Ferguson, which came before his Honor Judge T. J. Mackey, at the recent term of the Court for this county, his Honor ruled as follows: "That it is essential to the validity of an agricultural lien that the advances made should consist solely of such supplies as are essential to the production of tho crop. The advances of such supplies, however, do not operate within themselves as a lien; they must be made pursuant to an agreement fixing their value in money and such agreement must oe entered into anu recoruea ucjurv any of the supplies are furnished. The reason of the law in this respect is, that the lisence should be guarded against his own own improvidence by a fixed limit to his credit and the record will protect others against being imposed upon by a secondary agreement. "A warrant to seize a crop cannot be legally issued until the account for supplies furnished is presented to the person who receives the advances and payment refused. Such uccount must be sworn to and attached to the affidavit upon whicli-ib? warrant to seize the crop is issued. >. "All costs incident tb the seizure and sale of the crops must be paid by tbe lienor, for the crops under the Statute is bound only for the amount.advanced, and not for the disbursement in enforcing the lien. "The claims of laborers for services in /I Iinrlnn r\f Mio oi?nn I CUUCICU 111 UIC jp* UUUVViVU VI v?*v V.V|/ is a preferred lien and must be paid beforethe lien for the ad vauces are satisfied. The rent is next to the laborers lien a preferred lien upon the crop. "The advances for supplies can only bind the crops for the agricultural year in which they were made. They cannot operate as a lien upon future crops. The lien must rest solely upon the crop and cannot bind work animals and other property. A horse or mule sold for the purpose of producing a crop will operate as a lien upon the crop, it being a supply within the meaning of the Statute. "Contracts for the renting of land for the coming year will carry with them a statutory lien on one-fourth of the crop, but if the contracts to rent expressly so provides, the rental will be a lien upon one-third of the crop, provided, that the 'ImIi? oa In fhn nauo UUlll I U^L UC \IUIJ 4 UUU M-J ? -. of advances made. "The homestead exemption cannot be !)leaded to protect a crop against the enorcement of a lieu for advances made to enable a party to produce the crop, but no mortgage or lien can be enforced against the raised on the homestead, except in the case above stated. "If a crop Is produced on a tract of land, which, together with buildings thereon, does not exceed one thousand dollars in value, no part of the crop, however great its value, is subject to execution for debt." [Lancaster Ledger, LoNasTKKirr's Retirement ?Intelligence from New Orleans, coming from what is regarded as good authority, appears to confirm the reported retirement of Gen.
