Thec following letter is from a Source enititled to implicit credit. The pi'ospects of the plators there are indeed most gloo. my - E DISTO ISLAND, Sept. 18-16. I have recetntly been informed, that the rep~resentatinis of the -letter writers from this place in relationi to the probable pro duct of the Cotton crop, have, in severai quarters, been considered as inconsistent with the truthfulness of the planter's cha raeier. Our neighbors, .it would seem, apparently safe from the depredations of the caterpillar, or having suffered but slightly from their invasion, received the gloomy accounts from Edisto not only with incredulity, but with feelings of mer riment at the aff'rightened -condition ofC their fellow -laborers. *Co they still con titnue to be unbelievers? Is there no evi dence that our me'ancholy situation may soon be theirs? Let me now assure you, ISir, thai however wild anl extravagant smoftho starements were atone period Iheld to he, ocular proof is -now 'before us, that the shortest crop ever .produced on the Island, will be that wich we are engaged in harvesting. I am unwilling to risk an opinion as to the quantity per acre that may be realized, but I feel no hesita tion in saying, that there niever was as lit tle gathered as at this season, and never before was the hope of the grower so early blasted. Our tieldsjare already in effect in their winter's garb; not a leaf, or a part of' one, is any where to be seen. Haed' we been -visited withI a hoar frost, the result in reference to Cotton could not have been more disastrous than that which'a snmall worm has accomplished. 'Hiavinag denuded the shrub of its~foinge, the enemy is now employed ,in devouring othe 'fruit-all of which,.save the petty.portion Jahrilenesi by age, ho will inevitably destroy.
