The engines were soon on the ground, sud the fire was ex -tinguished before it had made much headway, .though the stock was considerably injured by the quantity of water thrown. The fire origi? nated in a box of matches, which were ignited, it is supposed, by rats.

Hall (who is extensively engaged in the | Spanish and West India trade) for a port in j Coba, with a cargor consisting mostly of flour, produced from whoat grown in Tennessee, Georgia and tho Carolinas. It is generally known that the wheat grown ia this section makes a better floor for Southern markets ?than any other; and we are pleased to see that oar merchants are disposed to make an effort --to place it in foreign ports, where its excellent quali ties will make it bring the highest price, i .Part of this cargo was man ufa :t tired by our c .city mills, and this shipment is the first of the . kind made from this port since the war.

C., September 15.-The destruction of onr crops by tbe caterpillar far exceeds anything we have ever experienced or imagined. Ho (thc caterpillar) has become .one of the institutions ef our country; wo may -look for bia annual visits as regularly a-] Sara? toga looks for New York city. We will not make as mach as last year. One-tenth (l-13iii) of an average crop is all that we can possibly make. Your place was eaten oat for breakfast one morning. My island plantation, whore the worm scarcely was when I last saw tho clop, waa swept out in two days; and instead of ibriy or tifty baga there, I will scarcely get seven. -The Cotton Crop of 1867-68. The New York Commercial and Sbippin List makes the following annual statement iu reference to the crop of cotton in 1867-68 : Bales. Louisiana. 579 231 Alabama. 366.193 Texas.Uf 666 Florida. 34:639 Georgia. 495,005 South Carolina.t. 240,225 North Carolina. 38,587 Virginia (in this is included 20,000 bales manufactured in State). 187,487 Tennessee, including 10,000 for amount raised in lUinou, Missouri, &o. 374,860 Total bales....2.430,893 This does not include anything t'or^hithern manufactures south of Virginia. They estimate the amount used north of the Ohio and Potomac at. 799,817 Taken for use soutu of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers. 163,318 968,165 The sea islaud crop ia put down as follows : Florida.10,114 Georgia. 6 234 South Carolina.4,579 Total bales.20.927 The Commercial and Financial Chronicle makes the crop.2,438,895 Consumed in the South . 60,000 Total.;2,498,895 'The New York Shipping List puts down the crop of Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, ?c., at.;.10 000 bales. The Financial Chronicle at.15,000 bales The former places the shipments overland from other points than Memphis and Nash ville at. 90,844 The lutter at.116,000 The above figures would indicate a larger growth than some of our readero have been es? timating; but the uncertainly has arisen large? ly from the want of reliable data in reference to the Western cotton seut up stream aud by rail overland; anl we are not without suspi? cions that the 90,844 bales, as reported in the Shipping List, or 116.000, as put down in the Chronicle, may be somewhat forced up. More specific information in reference to this is i caira ble, as well as the growth of Illinois, &c. THE AUTUMNAL EQUINOX -The 21st of Sep? tember marks the time when the reign of Sum? ner is supposed to be ended and Autumn, all n yellow clad, assumes its sway. At this time he gr?a? circle which the sun appears to des? cribe in the beavens crosses the equator. The lays and nights are now nearly equal, but the brm er will heareaf ter gradually shorten until he 21st of December, when the winter solstice a reached. The Autumnal Equinox is aptly spoken of by he "Bard of Avon" as "The year growing ancient, No: yet on Summer's death, nor on the birth Of trembling Winter." A SENSIBLE STEP.-IQ New Orleans, we see, i movement is on foot looking to an organized plan for distinguishing between those among the colored people who are our friends and those who are against us. It is proposed that every member of a club shall take under , his special care one or more colored men who de? sire to go with the Democratic party, and shall bave bia or their names enrolled upon books kept by the clubs for that purpose, that he shall Hccompany them to the polls on the day of election, and alter bavin? seen them de? posit their votes, issue them certificates to the effect that they have voted, the Democratic ticket, that their Dames are enrolled upon the Dooks of such a club, and asking that they re :eive the support and encouragement of all ;ood Democrats in the city aud State. Is it not high time that some such systematic dis crimination were instituted here-that the line should be drawn between our friends and our foes, between those who are actively striv? ing to compass the ruin of the community and those who, seeing their interests are identi? cal with ours, desire earnestly to work for the success of the Democracy? Charity be gins at home, and our own people need all the encouragement we can give them. THE DEMOCBACY OF ST. JAKES' SANTEE.-In pursuance of a previous call, a portion of the citizens o? the Parish of St. James' Santee as sembled at Mo Ciel lan ville on tho 27th ult., for the purpose of organizing a Democratic club.

The President, upon taking the chair, thanked his fellow-citi? zens for the honor conferred, and after feeling ingly alluding to the humiliation and suaferiug to which tho Southern people had bee u reduc 9d by the tyrannical and oppressive legislation nf Congress, made a stirring appeal to all true nen to exert themselves in behalf of the con? stitution and liberty, to save themselves from march y and ruin. Ou motion, the chair appoiuHed^a committee, ?onsistiugor the five following gentlemen, to Iraft a preamble and resolutions and prepare, rosiness for the club, viz: Dr. W. T. W. Baker Or. J. L.

That we associate under tho namo of 'The St. James Santee Democratic Club." 3d. That we bobeve tho Radical party: wbilo itruggling to retain control of the government or tne power and emolument of office, embit ered by sectional hatred, will use that power mjustlv, for oppressing a port of tho people; ho Democratic party will act upon principles .f equity and right, and that we must look to t alone for restoring order, peace and pros lerity. 4tb. That each and eviry member of the :lub individually pledges himself to use to the itmost his influence in disabusing* the minds )f the freedmen of the erroneous impressions uade upon them by selfish aud designing men, iud to enlighten them as to their true in? terests. 8th. That the interests of both classes of our copulation are reciprocal, and that our pros? perity and happiness depends upon the culti? vation or friendly relations. 6th.

Hertz, No. 73 King-street. He was locked np to await hearing.

He will alio receive bis deserts this morning MISCEGENATION AND BOBBSEY.-Catharine Kenny, a white w:>man, was brought before the Mayor yesterday for robbing Jae. Huggins, a colored man, of a silver watch, and sentenced to thirty days'confinement in the House of Cor? rection. It appeared that the woman had bren living for eomo time with Huggins, aud had accompanied him to Beaufort. On their return to the city he left her, and she took the watch in question. She is now confined in the detective cells, and will be transferred to the jail to answer the charge of larceny. HAT.-A larne portion of the arable landa in the vicinity of the city have this season beer devjted to the culture of hay, and carts piled high with their fragrant loads are daily coming to market. The public weigher at the oaBt end of Calhflun-street has been kept constant? ly employed during the past few days weigh? ing the loads that arrived. Tho hay raised on our meadow lands is fully equal to the far-famed Northern hay, and it is ou?y sur? prising that its culture has net been more ex? tensive, as large quantities are now received by every arrival from Northern ports. THIS STATE VOTE.-Tho following official ta? ble shows the number of registered voters in the l?tate at the time of the last military regis? tration, the vote for and against the constitu? tion in April last, and the number of qualified voters who then refrained from voting.

L. Buist, who had just returned from a tour Northward for his hoalth. The chief incident of thc reunion was the presentation by the company of a fireman's bat and belt to the President, as a t ok en of J their appreciation of his services, and their gratification at his return in renewed hoalth and spirits. After the company had assem? bled, vice-President John E. Boinest called them to order, and said : Mr. President : The pleasing and grateful duty has been devolved upon ne by my brother firemen of welc -ming you back in renewed health and vigor. To your impartial and con? sistent government the company owes its pre? sent prosperity, and you are richly entitled to the sincere esteem of every member. Our company, though scarcely three years in ex? istence, has achieved an enviable reputation. Its dissensions bavo been bat family quarrels, and though at one time they threatened to de? stroy oar organization, on your advent as pre? siding officer the embers were extinguished, and to you belongs the credit of our present success, dir, we have determined to show our esteem for your services by. a small token whicb, on behalf of the Stonewall Fire Com ?any, allow mo to present to yon. Mr. Presi ent, we trust that you may long be spared to wear this hat and belt, and to preside over our organization. Tho value of the gift is small, bat we know that it will be appreciated; and when years have passed, may the sight of the fireman's' offering prove that you have many friends, as you now have followers, in the Stonewall Fire Company. Ia accepting the hat and belt Maj. Buist said : Mr. Vice-President and Gentlemen of the Stonewall Fire Company : It has been a source of great pleasure to me this evening, afier a prot acted absence, to be permitted to preside over your deliberations, to greet my friends one and all again; and to receive at tho same time so unexpected and substantial s recognition of your approbation and esteem, is a renewed evidence of your uni? form kindness and courtesy to me, for which I can but request you to accept my profound aadheartielt thanks. You have seen fit re? peatedly to confer upon me ibe honor of pre? siding over you. This is a trust that has ever been highly esteemed by ma, and, sir, if l have in any degro3 merited the praise suggested in your aidress, it bas been through tho exer? cise of an earnest effort to preserve the dignity and advance the interest of a company entitled, by virtue or the character, the record of its members and th: nobility of its exemplar.to the high and honorable consideration of its fel? low-citizens. Asa fireman I am proud to bc num? bered with you. No disturbing politicil ele meut can, by your constitution, ever enter our organization. We are pre-eminently dedicated to preserve the peace of mind and prosperity of oui- fellow-citizjns. It has ever been my "ob? ject to carry out -the principles that shall prove me worthy of the trust you have con? fided in mo. 1 feel indebted to the cordial co? operation of my bro'her officera and members for the present high success to whicb you have attained. In accepting this valuable testimo? nial, 1 do so with the knowledge tnat it comes from those who are ever ready to perform their duty. I f.coept it with pride as comiin from mea who have done all that men eau dare to lo, andi shall cherish it always as a momento af the happy hours we have spent together. The hat and belt were made by Mr. F. F. Ohapeau, who is the unfailing friend ol' the ireman in such emergencies. Tbe hat is hea? dily libbed, and is finished in the highest style.

To tilt Editor of the Xeus: In these days, when cvorything is in so un ettled a condition, it may bo that some of our readers will be inquirios lor a college in he up-country, where they can safely, and on easonable terms, educate their sous. To inch the following extract from a letter written n July last by Ju'igo Wardlaw, of Abboville, n relation to Erskine College, may be of inter ist. For the eako of such persons we hope you rill give it an insertion in your widely circuit? ed and exoel len traper. The Jutjge says: I have made particular inquiries about Er skine College, and can with confidence give the in form i? ti on you desire. It ie only eleven miles from my home. I have watched it from its first establishment; have known all its teachers, and have frequently attended its public exercises. You know my lons continued and devoted attachment to the South Carolina College, now University; but the future of that is uncertain; and, in any event, there will be many persons who, from various considerations, will prefer some other institution. I know no other in which industry and econ? omy can be rewarded by 60 good opportunities for a good education, at a cheap rate, as in Ers? kine College. Due West, to which the College aDd its ad? juncts, the Theological Seminary and the Duo Weet Female College, give existence, is a pleas? ant village, decidedly healthy, in a populous neighborhood ot orderly, substantial farmers. The officers of the college are, and always have boen, zealous, earnoat men, doing good rather with a view to future consequences than to their own present advantage. What they and the trustees have accomplished with small pjcuniary means is leahy am -zing. The build? ings, library and apparatus are visible monu? ments of their well directed labors; but in their graduates, now nearly three hundred in num bor, they must find the most satisfactory com? pensa'ion ior their exertions and strcrinces. Erskine is a denominational insti ution, un? der the supervision of the Associate Reformed 8.? nod, but there is nothing sectarian in its teachings or managem nt. Many sects are represented by its graduates and students, and it ia pleasant to observe that about the Col? lege, as in this whole community, liberality and courtesy mark the intercourse between the various sects of Christians. The endowment which bad been laboriously acquired for Erskine College has been almost destroyed by failure of the banks, in whose stocks'it was invested. The Trustees, strug? gling with the difficulties of tho times, have roopened the College after six years of sus? pension, have arranged a scheme for obtain? ing four thousand dollars or more a year, by the subscription, on or before tho 1st of Oc? tober next, of two hundred or more persons, each of whom shall bo bound to pay twenty dollars a year for five years. For every twenty dollars thus p?d, a subscriber is to be entitled to the tuition of a student in the College tor ono >ear at any time after payment, and within five years, so that a subscriber may reasonably calculate that, by sending bis own son, or assigning his right to others, he will make profit as well as promote a valuable purpose. I scud an extract from a late catalogue, which shows that, besides clothing, all thc expenses of a student mav be met by from ono hun? dred and fifty to"one hundred and eighty-five dollars a year. I can add that the students declare them? selves satisfied with the boarding and accom? modations. -BUSINESS NOTICES, il. H.
