The entire erup, 3,500,000 bales may be reached, but I think these figures will have to be lowered. Every boll will be open on some fields by the 1st Septewber, and E think the crop oan be gathered by October 1st in Sumter county. Rust the cause. CLAIRENDoN, August 19.-It is al. most guess work to make a probable estimate of the cotton crop about, here, but so far as 1 can conclude from observation and expressions of' platit era it is very conclusive that the yield will not. be much larger than last year. More cotton will be upon the market by the 15.h1 of October from this section than lastyear, owing to the use of fertilizeis and better cultivation. The Cheraw Democrat says: Sun day afternoon ist his section of ti'e county was visited by a good raim. At that time the crops were begin. ning to suffer drought. l e learn from some of the most experienced and intelligent farmers in the county that in consequence of rust, drought. &c., the prospeot for a larLe yield of cot on is i00t so good by fifty hper cent. now, as it, was on the 20th of July The Cheorawv Democrat has seeni sonmc coteon kntowinia the Santee ]Black Jack or Sea Island, grown by Mr. II. Ferrelly, of that town. The weed is tall, branches well atnd seetms to be in a better bearing conditiot' than the upland variety growing close by, with no loss by the bhedttitg of bells or forms. It seems to lbe bear. ing a larger amount of cotton th.,n the upland, and Mr. F. thinks will make a finer stuple. The [Laurensville Herald says: "The late heavy rains which fell on last Thursdlay afternoon and night,. and on Friday morning, did great damage to the corn upon bottom hands, and in wrecking and washing away bridges on thie different streams. Several mills and mill-dams were more or less injured. We have beard of one or two entirely destroyed, though we have not heard the full ex tent of the destruction. A large amount of corn b-as been entirely de. stroyed, several farmers losing each from eight hundred to one thousand bushois. It is said that some0 of the streams of the county were as high in the recent freshot as that of August, 1852 Weo have heard of no other serious damage to the crops than that mentioned." The Union Times says : "On Thursday evening last a heavy rain set in at this place and continued with great violence until Friday noon. We learn that it did great damage to the cortn on the creek bottoms. In many of these bottoms the corn was completely destroyed. The dams at Beiaty's and Munro's mills were washed away. Mr. Bleaty had just completed repairing his dam which was badly injured a few weeks ago, We are uever disposed to over-esti mate a growing crop, but we honestly believe, fromt what we see and hear that the present cotton crop of Union promises to be almost equal to that of 1870, while the corn crop is much battea. As n. friend naid to us last week, "in many places the corn is as good as it is possibie for the land to make it.' If nothing further eccurs to damage the crops, it is believed that Union County will be in a better condition, financially. than ishe has been fur many ) ears." A Fatal Lake. A Lake Tahoe coi re.pondent of the San Francisco bulletin writes: Some twelve or fourteen persons base boon drowned in this lake with in the past ten years ; none of the bodies have ever been recovered. Supems:ition, ever ready to wave a sensation from nature's laws, asserted that there was a doubtful mystery in the nun-recovery of the drowned ; that in fact, a nonster had its abode iu this fresh water sea, and that the bod ices all passed into h's cApacious maw. The true explaniation of this mystery never has been given. Tihe non-ap. pearatnee of the bodies is due to three causes : The first is the great purity of the wvater and its consequent lack of buoynney. Drnwning is very easy in it, tor this reason, though I have not while bwimming in it found any wore than ordinary diffioulty in sus taitning myself. The second and main cause is due to the great coldness Lf the water. Even at this, the warmest 1 season, the surface water is as cold as I the driinker desiresi it to be, butits warm there comnpared with its temper. ature at tihe depth of one hundred to t two hundred feet. It is as cold there as the aictic heat of an iceberg. When a body sinks in the lake to tle depth required, it is frozen stiff. The process, of course, preserves it, so t! a the gas which originates in the b d y from decay in other water is pre, vented, and distension checked. The body is thus kept in a state of greater 1 spacifie gravity than the water in which it is suspended, and thereby prevented from rising to the surface. The third cause lies in the great pres- t sure of the pure water on anything that is sunk to a great depth in i Vt. Corks placed o deep sea nets are pressed down in a week to half their V size, and one of the oldest residents of the lake expresses the belief that U by the time a man's body has been susponded fur a week at a depth of b about 200 feet (it is not likely that it ever reaches the cavernous and almost t fathomless bottom of the great lake), a the compression of the water has re- 1 duced its size to that of a child's. Doubtless the idea of uncoffiued sus pension in such a "world of water" is inot a pleasant one to contemplate, c but to be pressed into a solid mass and suspended in a liquid coffin of ice temperature is quite as plearant a interment and uouldering in the a ground. 0 From Columbia.

The Washington'Chronicle, an Ad inisitration paper, of Monday, in its editorial columnnq, says about the South Carolina Loyalists: We do not known what is to be the vebult of the conafliet between 3untending factions in this State, .vhere the local ibsues confound all lpeculAtiotis outside. It is seen by ;he latet di.-patchus that ther har. been an organized bolt from the ft.gular Conivention ; that the lion. James L. Orr, Reubon Tomlinson, kttorney Corbin, Senator Sawyer 11 d ex-Congressinan Bowen partici ted in this bolting Moveuent, rhioh is in the interest of a wiser wd purer admniristration of State ffArs. Senator Sawyer uttered the entiwent of every true Republican hen he stated that the Administra ion felt the deepest interest in a just ettlement of South Carolina's troubles ud a thorough reform of all her vrongs. We trust that there is eisdom and virtue enough among the nasses to app1) the remedy that is eeded. We do not profess to un lerstand the muddle her politics has oresented. Knavish, base-hearted emagogues seek to throw upon the tepubliuan party the responsibility .f existing evils, without knowing ught of the facts. Under whatever owe or pretence wrong has been .>ne, it finds no apologist in the lational orgaunization. The New York Herald says, by ray of comment on the proceedings f the late State House Conveu ion: This is the old story of negro gov rnment. History is repeated. Yherever the negroes have attained ie ascendancy or the balance of ower in any country there every bing has gone to chaos and ruin. It ,as so in Hayti, in St. Domingo, in renezuela, and in all other countries hero the blacks, having political ower, have outnumbered the whites, r where a few knavish whites have sed the blacks to ride into power. 'his should be a solemn lesson for us, ut it seems our politicians will not ced the teaching of his-tory.

SOMETHING WRONG IN TIl DLooMING DALE LUNATIC ASYLUDI. In view of the importance of th. charges against the managetuent of thb Bloomingdale Lunatic Asylum, a New York, and the seeming difficulty of getting at the tru-h of the mattes so fat, Governor Hoffman has appoint ed a com lissiun to ina.ke a gei- r.,I .1 vestipatiou, including all lunatic asy lums in the State against which uhlrges may be la id.

This condition of the law " giving opportunity for abuses, I have U more than once asked tbo Legislature t to correet it. At the last session two 1 bills passed the Ahsembly, furniabing ti better safeguards in conniection with a the commiticnt and care of lunatics. si One of these provided, very prope, ly, e that no person or institution 0hould undertake the care of ilunaties except when licensed by the State e'nimis. f sioners of charities, and thus subject. 01 3d to their inspection. This. bill fail. e-d to pass the Senate.

An aver- b 0ion thus manifested to proper super. vision of the public authorities makes 01 it the more important, as well to the repute of the institution itself as to P Ie public irteref-ts, that tho dhargea now made should be investigated.

The second dose the same as the first, Cceplt take two ounces of the root ; third dose :-.ame as the last, to be taken every otlher day.
