Sometime since we mentioned in.our
paper that Judge MARVIN had been ap

in our Augusta exchanges. Whether
the delegation which arrived in Wash
ington on the 15th had anything to do
with the mAtter in question, time alone
will develoi ; and wherher now it is
MARVIN or Mo0ns, we cannot say:
"A delegation arrived at Washingtoni
from Florida, . July 15. They are op
posed to the appointment of Judge Mar

"Judge Morris, of Florida, has been
appointed Provisional Governor of that
State. lie is a Union Re(ugee."

The Alabaa Cotton Croji.
A Northern letter writer,, wh6 his
travelea throliA Alabama, writes thus.
of the prospects of the cotton crop in the'
State:
I was iudeed surprised to see the
amount of gotton there is planted along
both sides of the railroad. I noticed
several fields before we crossed the
State line, and after we entered this
State it was aldaoat a continous cotton
eld, the only exceptions being a few
abandoned plantations and an occasional
field of grain. It is all looking finely,
and I was told by several planters that
although most of it was planted late in
the season it was maturing rapidly, and
they anticipated a handsome remunera
tion for their industry. It is w6rked by
negroes, the same as of old, and nearly
every man I conversed with on the .sub.
ject informed me that the crop would be
more profitable under the new regime
thRn under the antiquated system of
slavery.
It wvill be remembered that sometime
since -we published a small paragraph
stating that the Richmond Whig had
had bee' suppressed. The following it
appears, was the cause of, the suppres.
sion of the V1ig :
"The Whig was the only paper al
lowed to continue its publication after
the capture Qf Richmond. A. Ira Smith
was then the temporary proprietor. but
on the IIth 'instant, W. M. Elliott and
J. C. Shields, its former cooductors,.re
sumed its control, with R. Ridgeway as
editor, lie having retired . from it, after
opposing secession, four years ago. In
ha first editorial, (and to which GonerkT
Terry took exceptions.) Mr. Ridgoway
signed his nane, and in the course of it
remarked:
"I am sternly and inflexibly opposed
to the execution, imprisonment or furth.
er embarrassment of any person who
was connected in any way, officially or
other wise, with the late revolution. All
classes and conditions ot our peopl'e
have alike suffered enongh. The guilty
and the innocent alike have drained the
cup of misery and humiihation to its very
dregs. I am equally oppQsed' to the
mean, brutal and cowardly policy of
confiscation. The possession of proper.
ty, %vhether little or much, is not a
crime, nor i. it recognized as such in
any core written or iiawritten, of any
nation, civilized or savage, on the .face
of tfle earth, and let not tq best Gov
erminent the world ever saw make itself
the worst and most despicable, Ly. tlh
adoption of a policy which measures the'
guilt of ian offonder by the qanount of his
property. The revolting absurdity of
such a policy is equailed only by its atro
cious injustice."
, Ie continues to indulge the conf.
dent - hope, therefore, tha4t President
Johnson will not only restore to its pro
per and legitimate owners all property
heretofore declared forfeited, but will,
also, without further harrassing, ipjuri.
,ous delay, expunge that heathenish
tweuty thousand dollar exception frutn
his late proclamation,"
We c4y the following .items from
the Charleston Courier of the 24th ult:

not as thoy might be. Let presbP

political fruit must result therefrom.
Some of these, more prominent than
others, are,' 1. Secesssion in its concep.
tion, purposes and alms, has totally, ab
solutely failed.
.2s Slavery no longvr exists, and never
will exist egain.
3. So grat, so raoic4, so overwhelm
ing is the change in the status of. politi
cal relations, that aumF . x not yet
compassed it.
Secessiqn was the le - practical
fruit of certain politici .rines ad.
vanced when the, Constitution was
framed and adopted. 'In theory, thi
system was as beautiful as a Calhoun
could make it. The ablest, purest poli
ticians of our country, honestly advocat
ad its tenets. The present generation,
South, bared their breasts to defend it.
While many used it for selfish purposes,
thousands took it tip earnestly. Accord.
ing to the great Jefferson it is a remedy
to be adopted only as the least of the
two gro'at evils. Many thought in
1860 that the timA for that choice had
come. The sequel has shown the errot
then made. The honest defenders ol
the right df secession long painted, be.
fore the war, the prospective fruits ol
its application. These same, who have
survived th, war, must admit that thes
fruits have been of the most deplorable
character. Admit (and it must be ad
mi',ted) that 'secession has absolutey
failed, and 'this is one of the rugged po,
litical shoals which will henceforth be
sbunned by the ship of State.
Need it be elaborately argued' tha
slaverk is gone? To do this with the.
burden of ekisting facts all against it,
were a task too Herclean to undetr
take. Dead issues should be past ii,
sus. Enough there is for the politiciar
or political economist to do to ?trike on
from the chaotic mass of labor and capi
tal some attractive theory as a beacor
to revive the sinking energies, and gath
er. the scattered resources of- a disap
pointed, hiroketi people. To mourn dvei
LIh past is childish ; to, writhe in malice,
madness. Tremendpus issues involve
tremendous consequences'; these deman
calm and deliberate measuries ? Ar<
not such demanded now ? That is bai
ground to take that, bpecause a house i,
*burned dow n, no steps should be taker
to rebitild it. It were worse to'say thae
it makes but little difference as to what
workmen or what material are broughi
to do it. Admit too, that'ihe system o
labor, as it existed heretofore, is gone for
ever. and much ii gained towards-a sue
cessful solution of many great poiitica
prolenms new before the people.
In one word. the whole South lias un
dergoine an esseanial, radical change, the
very toundation of. State go'vernment i
to be relaid, and all1 feelings of an ani
nmal nature must be st'angledl whih

doubtless as wide spread as it is natural.
But I doubt the propriety of this expa

its destiny will be tomnmitted of ie

hour of need, or to those who wonld
gladly pull her down to irretrievable rain.
To guard against such a calamity, let all
trite patriots devote themselves, with

raTon of law, the blemsinga df peace and
to the r-scne of whatever of liberty may
