[mox ors OWN COBEESTONDENT-? ! {Below we publish another letter from our cor? respondent from John's Island- Thc undue iength of tho communication rendered it neces? sary for us to omit some portions of il. The omissions are marked by asterisks.) JOHN'S ISLA.V:>, So. CA., September 2d, 1867. To the Editor of the Charleston Baily News: Sitting in the piazza ot ons of the fashionable board falaces of that charming summer spot, Le gareville, with tho sun just painting the western sky in the grand f.nd gorgeous style so peculiar to the Southern coat t, and the stimulating air blow? ing fresh from tho Bea, is uot an unfit time for musings of ono sert and another. The man whose thoughts could run uncharitable under such be? nignant influences, whose judgment harsh and sentiments unkind, could be but a hyhocondriac. And as the thoughts wander unbridled they na? turally stray and turn about the suiiject, which of all is io us, of these rural regions, the mose vital and absorbing. With all due deference to orders from headquarters, reconstruction acts of Con? gress, and squabbles and skirmishes in the politi? cal world, the graid problem of labor to be solved on this leland, an 1, for aught we know to the con? trary, on all the "slauds of the Southern coast, tho just and equitable distribution of muscle, mo? ney and land, is above all. By the latter no one supposes me to indulge in any foolish vagaries of free land speculation or confiscation-a kind of national, melo-dramatic highwayman's game of demanding, in highly ornate lan? guage, with p stol pointed, your purse to relieve unmerited distress. Thc man who thinks that a respectable number can be found to advocate confiscation in Congress for anything but buncombe, deceives himself. True, you do meet a man at odd times who thinks it might come to that. But sift him and you will find the idea one ! tho: ie picked up and preserved-tn pickle as it were. It did not come by regular deduction of tho developments of events. Some great man (?) whoso possiblo confidant he thinks himself, but whose shadow ho really is, might have regarded it, in tho veering causes and movements of tho times, as possible. But even that possibility is now re? moved beyond human power. Take the land from whom and for whose benefit? From every South? ern landholder? What'an army of desperadoes that would create. It is well enough to Bay that tho South was thoroughly, desperately beaten, but could it, under the assumed condition, bo kept down short of an .army almost as vast as the ono which swept the country triumphant? In the present and prospective state of half anarchy, when every man is eagerly watching the next move of the powerful, contending parties at the seat of government, the calling into existence ol another army would be simply furnishing tho means to one set of partisans to strike dead the other. If Badical leaders ask for universal confiscation, they lim beyond and through that to a consolidation an i centralization of government. If 3 ou wish to cro?te ta tra pica, do it by gradually pushing one-mail-power al mg, independent of lsrw, right or rule ; it wants but little moro. But do not attempt it through that fearful other way. The former we are prepared for, and could get used to ; thc latte:: we pray earnestly never again to Eee with bodily eyes. Further. What of the lands themselves thus swept from the owners and left at the discretion of Congress ? Would they be given away or sold out to pay the national debt ? Congress would scarcely be imprudent enough t > make land? owners of the negroes without compensation. For, naturally highly excitable, give bim freedom and franchise, And land next, and taking the latter as a natural consequence of his citizenship, he will, before he can be brought to a thorough political education, soon demand that which neither North nor South can furnish. In case of a sale, where are tbe buyers of the laud ? how much of the money wo:jld go to the treasury ? and v. ho cculd check the promiscuos 3 army of speculators in a field BO vast and various ir And a limited con? fiscation would bring nothing, absolutely nothing, to the treasury in comparison to the troubles raised, injustice done and costs incurred. This visionary bugbear, confiscation, st?nde at the gate of all u nable and despondence. It keeps out cap? ital. Money will not go into a State in so unset tied a condition as this. Why unsettled ? We be here, down here, that the present boiling and hissing state of affairs is kept up by Congress, thc Freedmen's Bureau, and those interested in the confusion in a thousand ways. Eveu JOHNSON has injured the South much. Were it not for tho utter and hopeless apathy of the Northern people, thiuga could not be carried on without some inter? ference from them. The press talks of it as the on]y available article in trade. News from the South is shunned, unless it comes in the shape of note and bloodabed. Who cares out of Virginia what judg." has peen deposed, criminal proceed? ing sngpended, finding of jury overruled, murderer pardoned. ?V adventurer made governor for an hour? Fer seven years past the most exciting news, the most frequent topic conversation, the most profound and learned sermon, tl?e most fierce and fiery h m angue-all have treated of the South, or topics reisling to it. Whv should the Northern mind, elastic as it is, ?ot bc worn down with the suoject ? ? . ' . . * . ? * * ' Finally jn close connection with and inseparable from capital comf.-a the theory of labor. Smce the resumption of planting oq this island, the owners aud lessees have allowed freedmen to remain on the plantations and occupy their houses on verbal conditions or writ ten contracts. Some planters al? lotted them certain quantities of land and furnished seeds and providions on the promise of two or three days' labor per week. Others, and a majority perhaps, allowed them all the land they wished to cultivate, binding them by contract to plant two and a halt' to three acres of cotton to the full hand, one-half of the proceeds of which to gr; to the planter. The latter was inmost instauces to fur? nish a limited supply of food to be paid for in extra labor, cotton or cash. Whatevei else a freedman chose to plant, corn, potatoes, peas, riee, ground? nuts or melons, vas his own, and his own solely. These contracts are sanctioned by the Bureau. Here, then, was the finest possible opportunity offered to a man in his condition He had ne money to buy provisions or pay house rent. "Herj are both," says the planter; "use them; the one free, for the other pay me when your provisions are gathered and your cotton ginned." Again, he knew nothing of mechanical arts; tbe hendllng of the hoe waa easier to him than anything else. lit could not emigrate?''for." as Senator TRUUBCU pathetically remarked on the flcor of the Seuate. "he could not read the finger-post by the wayside.' And under the disinterested and benevolenl (Judge SHZLLABABOEB'S speech; protection of th? Bureau, nobody asked him to emigrate. Here hi had all that he could reasonably ask for or cueded Congress thought he needed the franchise, and. rather than have him dissatisfied, they thrust that upon him withe it being asked toi it. The openly expressed opinion of every man on thia island is that going into partnership with ne? groes will not pay. Foi- the latter directly form another partnership, or rather a sort of corpora? tion ur monopoly with the Bureau, th j entranct into which the planter is effectually barred. Tnt very name of the institution Implies that unless t freedman it is not for you. It bolds the positior of a not-over conscientious pettifogger to his cli? ent. No one blames it. It is tho natural result ol labor for pay. The reverend gentleman who ? said to be ono of the main springs of its running gear our way, and whose influence at the nation'? capital in shaping thinga to suit the times, is only equalled by the loree of the powerful trip-hammei on iron at white heat, will probably bear testimon] that no impediment has been thrown in the way o the entire and unrestrained freedom of action o people here. I behove that gentleman to be tho roughly and aiucoroly honeat in his convie and whenever the occasion for advice or in tion presented, he was always found at his Yet he only stw these people in their hi clothes, and he himself would have a bill of plaints as iong as the moral law. where he to with them for a three months as wo do. Tho upshot of it all is, that this squi sovereignty exercised by tho negro, and back the Bureau, must come to grief. If assistant a pecuniary wav, can be reached, the negro either hire out, buy land, or pack up and way for him who is ready to take his place i field. ****?## Wi Lb all kindness and candor, the acts ol 3ureau cannot always be> interpreted to especial renown of that institution. If it vi oe guided moro by equal justice to tho discoi siemonts of society ; if benefits bestowed on portion did not redound too often to detriment ot the other; if the common could be made more smooth, and the con prospect more bright; if harmony in spirit action could be made the real object of its mis thc Bureau would soon be looked on in the Lg a benefactor. Still the blame lies not always it. Its kindest acts and noblest efforts have misunderstood by its proteges. Only " chi! of a larger growth," at best, they should be gi ed against the handling of " edged tools." A dropped unguardedly-a sentiment expressen cautiously-does often infinite mischief. A here, I think it a most difficult task, this bant the weaning babe-the colored man of John', land. The worm is progressing but slowly. If appearance is the last one, we are all right; ii third crop is to come, ruined. Some placea ai yet untouched by the caterpillar, while others being damaged. Iii no case has serious desi tion been done yet, on this Island. Some pl are casting pods, in consequence of the se rains. THE BUFFALO COCKIER says: "Tobacco sc to be of great use in prisons, not only as a sui tute, but also as a most useful aid to discip With reference to this a very curious develops has como out during a recent debate in the. trian Chambers. Complains were made, as I are made about our own prisons, that life in fe was getting somewhat too comfortable for purpose. The Minister of Justice, however, fended the measures introduced for the alie via of the hard lot cf the condemned criminals, only the reading of newspapers, he said, had p ed beneficial, bnt, and in a mach higher deg , tho introduction of tobacco smoking." He s "I avow the truth of the fact that the convicts now allowed snuff and pipes. Nay, I am pron having myself introduced it in several places; the permission to use snuff and smoke tobacco magic aid of disciplino. It simply acts like a m ele. Tho mere threat of forbidding tobacco i instantaneously upon the most hardened cult No amount of solitary confinement or Hogg comes in the remotest degroe near it." For past year or so tobacco has been issued to soldiers in our army, they drawing their rati of plug as regularly as rations of bread, meat coffee. We should think it might also be usec a disciplinarian in this case. There is probt no habit that gives such control over a man as use of tobacco, particularly when chewed. We member several years ago seeing an account o train of cars snowed in for several days 01 Western prairie, the passengers being a gr portion of them without food. Yet when suppl were reached, the first loud cry was not for fi or drink, but for chewing tobacco. It ia a nc idea to make this passionated loved articli disciplinarian, bot it seems an eminently sensi one. . ?_ AN AFFAIR OF HONOR.-The quiet precincts the M?tairie Ridge, in the neighborhood of l Half Wav House, and which have become ola icallv bloody ground from the many hostile me inga'that have taken place there, were again y terday morning, the scene of a duel between t gentlemen of this city-Mr. W., a native erst and Mr. R., a brother quill, of French birth, a well known here by his charming chronicles tl have appeared in one of the French weeklies. I cause of the rencounter was very slight and enti ly of a personal character, no blows having bc exchanged. For some reason, however, it v found impracticable to conciliate matters, and ?bc sun rose, Sunday morning, the two antagonia with their respective seconds and surgeons, n at the abovo mentioned plaqe to settle the difficu with duelling pistols. The position in which the principals were plac was unusual; two Unes were staked out para! with each other and rive paces apart There wi three stakes in each line, one at each end and o in tho middle. The two end stakes al each li were twenty paces apart. One principal was the south end of this line, the other at tbe noi of his. When thus in position they were diagona opposite, and the conditions were that at the wc they were to fire as they stood, or in marching to the middle stake. The object of this arrana ment was a> humane oue, reflecting great cre< upon tho seconds, and mad? in order to prevent snot being fired breast to breast. As the woi "Fire!-oue, two three." were given, a thrill anguish went through the spectators, whose ni vo usn eos was equalled only by the cool placidity the combatants. First one step forward was ma by one party, with fore-arm raised and aimil at his antagonist, who stepped forward al one step. A second and a third step were made the first party, quickly followed by the other, pistol shot was heard, and aa certaine 1 to be frc the first party who, believing that the second pat bad fired also, retired ont- step after offering 1 weapon to his second; but a cai; from the opposi seconds to "stand your ground," was answered a step forward to resume the original position the first party. Here, for a few secouas, the an iety was intense, and every heart beat at s fearl speed, as the second party advanced to the midd stake, where, v? Ith a commendable courage and noble impulse, raising his pistol overhead, he fir in space; then crossing over the Une he extend? his band to hts whilom enomy, who grasped and acknowledged in feeling terms the generosi of his adversary, ;i> whose hands bis life had rei ed. The affair created no Ijttle excitement in tl city, and all interested baye our hearty pohgratul tiona upon its successful'issue, for tlie first sh proved to havo missed its' mark, and th? parti are ali now on the best terms of friendship at ?steeni.- Jvew Orleans Crescent, August 26. FENIAMS-Colonel John Warren, a citizen of tl United States, being'confined in an Irish prist a? a Fenian, wrote a letter to Fernando Wot stating his pase. Mr. Wood appealed to the Pres dent.

Tile Cotton Crop in Louisiana. In tho extreme Northern sections of the cotton region tho crop is doing well generali-. In Ten? nessee cotton ia promising a fair yield, but not a large one. ..ho accounts are favorable from the Atlantic States. .Arkansas, Northern Mississippi, Georgia and the Atlantio Seaboard States, will do very well-much better than the extreme South? west. Col. A. M. Hobby, who bas just made a tour through a part of Texas, writes to tho Galves? ton News that he has a sad report to make ot tho cotton crops along the coast. His statements accord precisely with those that have alreadv b6en published. There is scarcely a prospect for anv crop in Liberty, Wharton, Brazona, Fort Bend and Matagorda Counties. Fort Bend is said to be in better condition than the other counties named, but not more than 500 bales is predicted there, in? stead of 8000 which might, under ordinary circum? stances, have been expected. Colorado County cotton is in a state hardly less deplorable. An average crop is expected in the Red River countrv. In Bastrop County tho weather, for the ton days preceding tho 17tn inst., had boon very favorable to the crops-says the Bastrop Advertiser. The Helena, Phillips County, Arkansas, Clarion, says the cotton in that region promises well. Tho plant is full and healthy, and barring worms, will produce excellently. From Pike and Amita Counties we get, through our exchanges, confirmation of the accounts already published Concerning the crop in that re? gion of Mississippi. From half to two-thirds of a crop is expected br some planters; while others, who appear to be equally well informed, look for? ward to securing no more than from a third to half a crop. In Lauderdale County the fields pre? sent an encouraging appearance. The Natchez Democrat of the 26th says that the worms have done no material damage in Adams and the ad? joining counties. They are present everywhere. The ichneumon flies, the "lady bugs," the weather, and the efforts of the planters lo kill them, are giving the caterpillars a hard time in that vicinity. A hali crop will be made there, if the Democrat is not mistaken. The Woodville Republican, of the 24th instant, tells the Picayune that the letter recently published in the latter pa? per from Newtonia, Wilkinson county, conveying the information that on the Amito river a pint of worms might be gathered from every stalk of cot? ton, and that in Wilkinson county some cotton will not yield a bale to twenty acree, is an exagger? ation. We should hope so. The Hinds County Gazette has a new prescription for killing worms. It says that a planter near Raymond deat roys them by the thousand by simply shaking the* cotton stalk. The worms die within two minutes after falling to the ground I The Shreveport Southwestern of the 21st has nothing good to say of the crops thereabouts. Some planters talk of a third of a crop, others do not hope for anything more than the seed for another planting. There are myriads of worms in that neighborhood, but tho weed is not yet mate? rially injured. A letter published in the columns of a city contemporary, dated at Shreveport ou the 17th, gives a more pleasant account of tho con? dition of affairs about Shreveport than is furnish? ed by the Southwestern. We are inclined to ac? cept the statement of the Southwestern, consid? ering the difference between the dates of the two reports. The planters of Caldwell Parish are much more hopeful than recently. Tho worms have not injured the cotton nearly as much aa it was feared they vould. The Lake Providence Record announces the advent of the second crop of caterpillars in Carroll pariah. The Record pre? dicts not more than half a crop on most of the plantations in that parish. Two letters from Jack? son parish oocour in the statement that not more than a third of a crop will be gathered there. The Bastrop Dispatch, of the 23a, is in a state of un? certainty as to the prospects of a yield in More? house. Wo publish an extract from a lettor from a trustworthy source, assorting that the crops will be short in that parish. The Sugar Planter, of the 24th, anticipates bad news concerning tho cotton of West Baton Rouge, owing to the prevailing wet weather, which it regards as fa vorab'o to the de? velopment of the caterpillars. As yet they have not committed any very serious damage, according to the Sugar Planter. Letters from Monroe an? nounce tho disappearance of the worms from Oua chita pariah before doing much harm. Letters from Union parish are of similar tenor. RUTLAND'S PLANTATION, CALDWELL, PALISH. LA., J August 25, 1867. j TJ the Editor of the 2>Teu> Orleans Orescent : I have been quietly awaiting the development of the dreaded cotton worm, dally expecting the de? molition of the entire cotton crop. Ail was gloom and despondency here for some tune. Planters were discharging their hands, and they were seek? ing employment for theil; food. Now ina do: s look more cheerful. Farmers aro calling in their dis? charged hands and rejoining farm labor. The worms have entirely disappeared, with the excep? tion of some who hayo^jujconsed themselves in the leaf, many of tho cocoons having died, from some cause, while in that state. It bas been two months since their first appearance on this planta? tion, and all were under the impression that they would have made an enture sweep of the cot? ton ere this; but we are agreeably dis? appointed. Their transformations, operations and movements are shrouded in mystery. I have long been a producer of cotton, and am not un? acquainted with the caterpillars, but this year, trom their advent to their exodus they have baf? fled the expectations founded upon mv experience of their habits. I have observed, this season, three distinct crops or stages of them, at tho same time, varying from the small green worm, scarce? ly perceptible, to the full grown, striped-back cat? erpillar. They have damaged about 150 acres ot my cotton, which at one time presented a deso? late appearance; but ic bas now r isumed its ver dant hue, and bids fair to produce au average yield. Most of the planters of this region are very hopeful, with buoyant spirits. Faces aro smiling which a fortnight since wore an aspect of gloom and despondency. I think that not more than a half crop, probably two-thirds of a crop, will be raised this season from here to Monroe. Corn is made. The yield is abundant, and will place throe who plantad a sufficiency of that indispensable ar? ticle, independent of tho West next season. T. J. JOHNSON. VIENNA, JACKSON PARISH, August 20,1867.-1 re? gret to inform y JU that the wor.ns are upon us. From present indications, this section of country will not make more than a third of a crop.

I don't think there can be more than a third of a crop. -anpposed he was good for 150 bales. He will be perfectly satis? fied now with 50 bales. MOREHOUSE PARISH, August 22,1867-- Our Cot? ton crops in this Parish will be short again this vear. The caterpillars have appeared earlier than last season. The corn crops are good, MONROE, O?ACHITA PARISH, August 25, VV\. Our crop ia doing finely. I rode over the whole ol it yesterday, and succeeded in finding but one worm. They may reappear, but if they do not come before the 1st September we will make in thia country a good deal of cotton. The most of it is half made already. MONROE, August 21,1867.- Cannot complain ol the worms: they havo not injured any planter on the bayou that I can learn, Aa lqng aa tye havu this kind of weather I do not think they will do any harm. MONROE, August 25, 1867_Cotton worms haye entirely disappeared, after injuring, to some ex? tent, about half the crop. Will commence picking in the morning. MIDWAY, UNION PARISH, Aug. 25, 1867.-I have the pleasure to inform you that (be worm has al? most disappeared, without doing us any serious bajurj-aimqst, none as far as Jean-hear from, Ouacnita is not hurt from here up as far as I have learned, and there is nq rngn whatever of a nevi crop of worms.

The honorable mem Ott concluded by moving as above. Mr. Whalley, itt HpcOhqing the motion, main? tained that he was acting with perfect consistency in doing so. Whether tho Fenian prisoners hail been influenced by political or by religious mo? tives, be did not think that disaffection in Irclanc waa tu be romp7f d by pursuing these men to ex? tremities, or by treating them wit.fi greater severiti than tho circumstances of their individual casei rendered imperatively neeessary. One simple romedv, in his opinion, for the evils of Ireland wa* to make Lnqwn jo the frist people what weie th< facts of the case with regard \o the position whick this country had taken up in reference to civi and religions liberty. Mr. Hardy-With respect to the political prison era iu the colpnips tba Hope j? probablv not wei acquainted with the facts.

I The South is not Ruined. ?[eran the Mantgovury Advtrix?ir.] The day of small things is not over, and those who pay attention to them will in the end be bene fitted. "Everv effort should oe made to economize and turu to advantage the gifts of nature. Tbe Southern people are fast learning this all impor? tant lesson, and thu good effect of it will become moro and moro visible each vear. They are not goiug again to stake their all ou one crop, and if that is lost cry out in despair that God has ruined the country and cursed the land. Great injustice has beon done to the planters by the accounts given m the newspapers of superabundant cotton crops. The list four weeks demonstrate conclu? sively that the crop is absolutely ruined in Texas and Louisiana, and the worms aro faat doing the same work in Alabama. Notwithstanding this, some farmers set out with the determination to mako their farms support them, and iu spite of of cotton ruin they have, by means of gram and corn, secured a sufficiency to Uve on for the next year. Tho country is not ruined, and the experi? ence now learning should teach those who culti? vate the soil the folly of planting all cotton to the neglect of other equally great necessaries. We read on yesterday a lotter from North Caro? lina, which said that corn would sell for t2 or $3 per bushel in that State, because ?hat crop was a failure, and yet the gentleman went on to state that the people of the "old North State" would get through somehow, because they have learned how to save. As an illustration of their thrifty econo? my he said they sold 1350,000 worth of blackber? ries last year, and sold more this year. They were curtailing their expenses, and the ladies, too, were abridging the dimensions of their dresses to suit the present embarrassed times. The fall of the year is the time to begin to prepare for a system of farming that will eo result as not to ruin plant? ers if any one of their crops should prove a total failure. Begin with the determination of raising your own stock and for that purpose so use your fields that they will answer until late in the winter as pastures and feeding places for your stock. The South has got to learn to raise its own meat and bread, and it would be a good idea, too. to weave its own cloths. Right before our eyes is a paragraph from a Rhode Island paper, a State hardly any larger than Montgomery County, giv? ing the amount of property owned bv cotton spin? ners in that State at $25,000,000. ' That money was made out of Southern cotton, and mostly out of Southern people. The foolish cry was heard at the beginning of the war that cotton would decide the contest in our favor. It didn't. Since its close nearly every effort to raise it has failed, and it begins to look as if He who is praised in all our Sanctuaries to-day, and who sends the worm and keeps back the rain, wants to help make us inde? pendent by raising breadstuffs, horses and mules, by making our own clothing and saving the surplus to buy from other sections what we cannot make ourselves. There is not a sensible man but knows we can do all these things, and until we do we will not bo an indep anden t people. It is time for us to cease being dependent upon those abroad for tho food we eat and the clothes we wear. We have boen doomed to much sorrow and suffering, and it looks as if our great oxoectations of a cotton erop are to bo dashed to the ground again. But the power is in higher than earthly hands. The South is not ruined, and God's curse ie not upon it, but it looks as if He frowns upon the attempts to mako it merely a cotton country. England and Her Soldier?. It appoars from official statements that England has forty thousand regular troops, ninety thousand militia, one hundred and eighty thousand volun? teers, fifteen thousand pensioners, and a reserve of four thousand-in all, three hundred and twon tv-nine thousand soldiers. But with all this force England is unprepared for war. Her troops are under live different organizations; the volunteers have no collective organization, and Sir J. Paking? ton Bays thoy are like a rope of sand, likely to be dissolved at a moment's notice; the militia are in a disorganized state, and the pensioners and reserve are scattered about in driblets. The Pad Mali Gazette, analyzing the militan establishment, remarks : "The regulars are undei a double government, which is so arranged that itt operations are like those of Christian charity, it? left hand is never allowed to know what its righi hand doe th. Suppose that we should want to pol an army of three hundred thousand men in the field ready for active service on a few week's notice; is it not morally certain that all these different bodies would fall into one wild mass of inextricable confusion V Then obligations would be different, their modes of action would be different, the; would be under different departments, and the') would resemble each other only in their being utterly unprovided with any sort of general organ? ization or superintendence. Our defences are some t haili like those which exist in country honaet aainst robbers. There is the squire and his sons, io have rifles and fowling pieces and know how tc use them. There in an old blunderbuss in thc kitchen, which, it is to be hoped, would not burst in the Lands of the butler, who is believed to have loaded it twenty years ago. A general impression exists in the family that there is a oase of duelling jistols somewhere, but the key is lost, and it is doubtful whether there are any bullets; but if these things contd be found, it is possible that the foot? man and groom might know now to use them, and. at all events, they could use their butt-ends ana H apply deficiencies with tho poker and tongs. Where you have to deal only with a parcel of bur? glars, this state of things may be well onough, and the trou Wo and nuisance of anything like a regular preparation for possible robbery would be far greater than any advantage whioh could be de? rived from it." This is a sorry exhibit. It is lucky for England that the European powers do not oonsider her ot sufficient importance to be drawn into any of their quarrels._ HUQO QM CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.-The great Red Republican is out onoe more in one of his peculiar spasmodic epistles.
