The Daily News. SATURDAY BIORNIJiG. SEPTEMBER 1, 1866 Giorgia Hums. The following from the Quitman (Ga.) Banner 5B replete with good suggestion and good sense: SHALL 7HE SOUTH PLANT COTTON?-A very grave question is presented to the people of the South, will they continue to delve, and toil, and sweat in the cotton field, when but a pittance of their i earnings can be enjoyed by themselves? or will they turn their attention to the comforts and good living which can only be found in the cultivation of provisions, tho delicacies of the garden, the luxuries of the farm yard, and the raising of TStock? We long- to see the day when they ' will ar? rive at the sensible ai d truthful conclusion, that cotton is the Iliad of their woe?, and that the road to contentment and comfort leads not to the cot? ton field, but to the easy culture of the necessaries of life, and the improvement of the homes of the heart. While they will be adding to their own ?ase and domestic happiness, by planting only enough cotton for home consumption, they will teach their enemies a lesson as sad in its history \ as it will be disastrous in its results. Where au are poor, poverty is no di-igrace; and now that we can afford to be poor, let us try the experiment ' of fine gardens, full cribs, fat ho*8 and splendid horses. The lands that enriched New England Will grow fertile again, by lying idle a few years, while the soil upon which sprung the Upas that has poisoned aud blasted the prosperity of the f South, will wither, wilt, and die. h VICTIM OF A CONFIDENCE MAN-Mr. Shaw, a ' delegate from Georgia io the Philadelphia Con? vention, while taking a walk, Ihursday, in that city, met sn individual who joined him, telliug h him that he i oo was a Georgian. They walked J together, conversing on the affairs of the country, o and soon after another individual, meeting them *'by accident," presented a bill to Mr. Shaw's new friend The latter bad not that amount <>f reach money anout him, nothing but stocks and bonds. On these Mr. Shaw was kind enough to advance j 4900, and soon after he parted with his "fellow Georgian." He has not seen the fellow since,, and probably never will see him again. I {Savannah Republican. t ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.-A freedman, while out ' . taking a few lessons with a shot gun near Hawk's e ?rally, on Monday, seeing a?ru*tliug in the leaves c ust ahead, blazed away, thinking he had started a f rabbit, and to his surprise, a youug freedman . jumped from behind the bushes. One or two stray shots io the leg was tbe extent of the damage. The wounded man declares that if "de ole fool don't c know how to hunt betier'n dat he'd better stay at C home." We tbiuk so too.-Augusta Chronicle. J HOMICIDE.-On Sunday night last, between ll ? and 12 o'clock, an altercation occurred between Charles Cherry and Alexander Redding, in which the former was shot twice b;, the latter-the second time through the heart. These men are brother-in-laws, having married two sisters. The ri occurrence took place in Cherry's store, on the PJ upper part of Cotton Avenue, iu the presence of Cherry's wife,, who endeavored to prevent the .difficulty, and was near being killed herself-the *' first shot pasting through the sleeve of her dress. 81 Bedding was immediately arrested and imprison? ed-Macon Citizen. li] CAUGHT IN THE ACT-ATT?MW TO STEAL COT- BT nov-ABB?ST OF ONE OF THE PASTIES.-Yester- 8i *tiay mtirning about 7 o'clock, Mr. P.

[FOR THE WEEK ENDING FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1860.1 REMARKS-At the termination ot' one business season and the commencement of another it is but proper that we Bhould look around usand notice the prospect for the new year. While from some sections of the South the reports received would indicate a favorable state of the crops, we regret to say that much of the country on which Charleston depends is not o well situated. The Cotton cron from which our malu Drosperity is derived has been seriously damaged by unfavorable weather, and unless we have a late and propitious season tho | yield of Cotton in South Carolina will hardly exceed 125,000 bales, which ls about one-third of a crop. The Rice crop will be very short, not exceeding one-flfih of an ordinary yield ; and the Corn crop, which is the main support of the farmer, has been in large dlstiictB an en? tire failure, and ls very short throughout the state This unfortunate condition of affairs will render it I necessary for muBt persons, to practice a rigid economy for the coming year, and business may reasonably be expected to be quite limited for the ensuing twelve [ months. Dealers in the necessaries of life are the only parties who may look wilh some degree of certainty for | a prosperous business. COTTON.-It will bo noticed by our tables of recolpts I and exports, which we have made complete up to yesterday, that the total receipts of Cotton for this port for the past year, ending August 31, 180?, has been 6805 bales Sea Island and 107,821 bales Upland Cotton, making a total of 113,680 balee, being only a trifle over a fifth of what was received In tho year 185?-'60, which reached 522,872 bales of Ul kinds. The stock ou hand and on shipboard yeeter lay, after a careful examination, was found to be 235 j Dales Sea Island and 6300 bales of Upland Cotton, in j ?vhlch is included the sum of 2660 bales previously unitted in our receipts. As it may interest our read irs, and exhibit more forcibly than anything else the narked chango in the country, and particularly up to his time in the commerce of Charleston, produced by he war and Its effects, we annex a statement of tho re leipts of Cotton at this port for two years before tle| var and slues: RECEIPTS OF COTTON AT CHARLESTON.
