A correspondent in this paper signing himself" District Pride," brings to the notice of our citizens the inconvenient and comfortless condition of our Court House. The time was. when our Court House was inferior to none in the State ; but since that ! time appropriations have been made by the Legislature for the improvement of many, whilst old buildings have been torn down I and new ones erected; that now,ours is far I behind.

From what we can learn, the prospect for ! an average yield of cotton in (his District is | worse than we had supposed. The yield | will not ho more than one half. We learned the other day that a farmer who made soinc fifty bales last year, will not make one bale this year. Tho ease is not so bad with all, but to our certain know! ledge a great number will not realize more j ; than one third yield as they did last year, 1 J whilst the niosi fortunate cannot exceed one | ! half. We cannot but believe that cotton will be up in the Spring, yet have nl) ways thought that the farmer had no business to interfere with speculations, and the most advisable plan for him, would be to aull so soon as his crop was ready for market. Taking tho prices of one year with another, this is the safest and surest plan. FiUBT Ml NCR 1'lKS OR Til K Sf.ASON. As we sat in our office the other day about 1 o'clock. P.
