The Abbeville Medium in its comments on the above, remarks : The next campaign in this State will be very unlike anything ever known in South Carolina polities. The Democratic voters will send men to the convention to vote, not lbr the | man who has "mo-t influence with the : Republicans and can p?il 1 the largest j colored vote," l>ut for the best and truest Democrat, who will hohl the administration of the laws higher than the safety of a radical criminal and the harmony of the home democracy more worthy of consideration than the pleasure of any outside party or iidlut ilVC* T/iu "nuiKIng jAn-oi nil.j" on. coming in for a share of the honors.? Thev are tired of family combinations and little cliques. They want fair play wild they arc going to have it.? It is all stuff to say that their claims will split the party?this is the old cry we have ever heard in such emergencies. The working Democrats made the party what it is, not for a few chronic office-seekers and a special family circle, but for the good of the State. If those wl>?> call this treason do not like the ring of the metal they can organize a party en their own account but certainly not shape the future of the straightout Democracy. The Lancaster Lkikjeu, havingjnst about as much at stake as either one of our coteinporaries, above (pioted, I (and with all duo respect to the honorable gentlemen whuag names they have brought U^ranF) would advise, kindly, that Speights and Hemphill, i />/' ;)io Medium, stick their heads in Micir boots and wait awhile. The Cotton Crop of IS7S-70 \Y e arc indebted to the Commercial mid Financial Chronic!'' for proof slips of its statement of the cotton crop of the United States for the year ending September 1st 1?S75), for which it appears that the total receipts at the Atlantic and Gulf shipping ports this year have been 1,117,"270 hales, against 4,315,545 hist year. The total crop according to the reckoning of I he National Cotton Fxchango, already published, is 5,074,15 j?a difference of only 624 bales troiu the total, as given by the Financial Chronicle The close approximation in figures of the two great authorities on the cotton crop is an indication ot the- thorough completeness of the machinery that is now used to as- i rcfb'iiu the result of the growth. The most striking feature in the table is, the large increase in the overland I movement for the year, which is put I d mil tit 17 1,255 bales, against 317,620 ; bales last year.

Fvcn as far hack as lS'JDit was thought practicable l?y our foreiathcrs to run boat.? along this river. During lhoy year a ]>r<>-j>?ptiu^ company was of the opinion tbbt it would Le a good investment to put the river in condition for boats, and went to tho expense of having it surveyed, and in fact this company went so far as to have work done in tho \v^y ,ol iu^rovii'.r t'-<> river.

Col. ST. Albirt, of Washington, was delegated to make 1 this examination, which was done, but Congress never took action upon hi-, report. During the last session ot Congress the matter was agitated again, whereupon four hills were in* trod need for the purpose of securing an examination of Catawba river in .North v aroium, Catawba river in South Carolina, Wateree and San too in South Carolina. These different section- all being a part of iho same stream a combined arrangement waellbctcd to have <ine party do the whole work. Col. .J. M.
