Butler, it ap? pears, was familiar with the case, and asked Hoar why he hesitated to dicide upon it. Hoar replied that there were difficulties in the way; it was not quite clear th it tbs military authori? ties had the right to take a case out of tbe hands of the civil courts nnder any circum? stances. The Attorney-General wont on t) state bis objections at considerable length, whan Butler sudden7 interrupted bim by say i ag: "Well, if yon -do not give an opinion such as I think you should give in view of the facts, I will offer a r?solution on the subj ec t the first day of the next passion. This thing has stood Jong enough. Now we want to mike aa exam pie o? sime of those fellows in Texas." H jar promised to gire the matter bis imm?diats at? tention.

The ??tocks of cotton in this coan try have become so reduced that, with all that may be expected to come to market during the next four months, there will not be enough to keep the spindles of thia country going da ring that time. A number of interesting qo.ee tions consequently arise : Will cotton goods sufficiently advance to justify spinners in im porting cotton from Liverpool ? Io the oom petition for cotton, to what prices will it ad? vance ? In the 'crushing out' process to which the smaller spinners are being subjected, what effect will it have upon public and private credit and the money market ? How long can oar great manufacturers go on piling up goods produced at a loss ?" CHARLESTON. MONDAY HORNING, JUN'E 14, 1869. The Crops In tue State. The letters published in our columns du ring the last week show in detail the con dition and prospects of the crops in every part of the State, and, written as they were by men thoroughly familiar with the agri cultural condition of their respective neigh borhoods, the information which they oon tain is as valuable as it is interesting. At this time it is, of course, too early to esti mate the cotton crop of the State;, but the area in cultivation indicates what the result should be with favorable seasons. But the corn and wheat crops are so far advanced that their extent may be readily calculated We are also able to show the manner in which the freedmen are working, and what is the apparent effect of the use of fertiliz en. Taking, then*, the reports already published as a basis, and adding to them agricultural intelligence obtained from other sources, we are able to draw some general ? conclusions in regard to labor and the crops I in South Carolina. For the purpose of showing these dearly, we divide the State into four groups of counties. 1 The moun tain region, consisting of OJ J nee, Pick ene Anderson, Greenville and Spartanburg. 2 The upper middle section, consisting of Abbeville, Laurens, Union, York, Chester, Edgefield, Newberry, Fairfield, Lancaster, Kershaw and Chesterfield. 3. The lower middle section, consisting of Marlboro* Lexington, Richland, Sumter, Darlington Marion, Barnwell, Orangeburg, Clarendon and Williamsburg. 4 The seacoast region ! consisting of Beaufort, Colleton, Charles ton, Georgetown and Horry. The agricul? tural characteristics of the four divisions .re pointed out by thecensuB of 1860, which shows the crops in that year to have been aa follows : Corn. Wheat Cotton. Bice bush. bath, bales, pounds. Itt division..3,679.337 376 178 14.910 10,736 Sd division..5,639,031 729,71* 170,092 34,794 SJ division.. 4 895,214 173.683 183,634 3.482,363 4th division..1.869.034 8.056 35.786116.67i.746 Total.15,066,606 1,385,631 363.413 119,100.628 These proportions should bs borne in mind in considering the general statements which follow : First Division. The area in wheat is lesa than last year; bat the grain boles very well, the rust has done no harm, and a fair average orop will be made. IV uoh lass corn waa planted tuan in 1868; but in conse? quence of unfavorable seasons many hun? dreds of aeres of cotton were ploughed up and replanted in corn, which will bring up the area in oom to that of former years. The oorn has been backward bat ia ooming on rapidly, and aa abundant orop will be made. Much more cotton than usual was plant? ed-in Spartanburg about twice as maoh. The plant was injured by frost and a large area ploughed np and put in oom. ? The stand now is poor, and the crop is three or four weeks late. Under favorable circum? stances, the yield, notwithstanding the in? creased quantity originally planted, will fall short of that of last year. Oats are doing finely. More attention is being paid to the salivation of grasses. Fertilizers were used freely and in greater quantities than ever known before. One planter, and not a large one, spent $1500 in fertilizers, and jonsiders himself amply repaid. The negroes are working well, especially where their employers go intojjLhe field with them. Politics reoeive butnTttle at .ention. The people generally are oat of lebt, and the prospects of rae,, whole divi rion are highly encouraging. Second D.vision. As a rule, les? wheat ins been sown than last year, Chesterfield teing about the only exception. The grain, iowever, ii unusually fine, and a full crop viii be made, although the area is less. Of torn, mach less has been planted than in 1868; in Laurens twice as mnoh cotton as ion was pat in. The oorn is now healthy, 11 mt small and baokward. A Urge yield is 11 expected in Chesterfield; but the probabili? t?s are that the total corn crop of this di rision will show a falling off as compared vi th last year. Barley was sowed to some ixtent in Abbeville, but has proved a com? parative failure. Otts, on the other hand, ire doing well and will be up to tho aver ige. Far more cotton than usual has been planted; in Chester one-third more. The plant is baokward and the stands are poor. From some parts of the division the reports ure favorable; bat upon the whole the cot? ton orop of the division should be rather less than that of last year. Fertilizers have been used in immense quantities with good results. In Edgefield a planter has put 10 ton? or fertilizers upon 75 aorea of cotton. These 75 acres will give him at least 76 and perhaps 100 bales. The negroes are working better than usual; bnt there is still room for improvement. In Abbeville most of the negroes knook off work at 10 A. M. en 8a'urdays. In Ches? terfield the negro women are working in fields for the first time since the close of the war. Third Division. AU accounts agree in reporting that wheat in this division will give a fine yield and that a good crop will be made. In some counties more oorn thara J i usual hat been plas ted,, and in others lei We do not think that there will be any gre variation from the orop of 1868. Oats a in good condition. The area in cotton is larger than neut except in Oraagebnrg. The yield to tl acre is expeoted to be os large aa U^UI whioh would make the crop exceed ft at last year. The cotton worm has been sei in both Orangeburg and Barnwell. Wi favorable seasons the caterpillar is not e pected to be dangerous to the crop. ? Fertilisers, as in the other division have been used in great abundance. Tl negroes are working pretty well, but a farming on their own account much mo: generally than ever before. This is e peoially the oase in Orangebarg and Bar: well. Fourth Division. The Seacoast regie whioh is capable of yielding the mo valuable agricultural productions, h since the war, from various causes, bei more depressed than any other divisii of South Carolina. From the fuciii with which many portions of it cou be reached from the sea, it was at i early period of hostilities partly abandone and the valuable improvements allowed go to ruin. From the impoverishment the owners and the absence of successf crop seasons, the work of restoration hi necessarily been slow, and in some cases hi not yet been attempted. The leading crops of this section of tl State have been for a long period rice ai sea island cotton. The growth of rice wi nearly destroyed by the war, and only tl most certain and best locations have sim been placed under cultivation. But with home demand rather greater than the ni tive product, and with the continuance i fairly remunerative prices, there has bee some disposition to inorease the cultivatioi and the crop of South Carolina, which wa about 25,000 tieroes in 1867-68, will prol ably approach 35,000 tierces for 1868-6! The growth now coming forward would, favored, show a still further moderate ii orease, bat the long continued dronth ha caused the streams to be affected wit! salli and on Cooper River and some other point the damage will be serious, unless relieve by an early fall of rain. Notwithstanding the experience of tw seasons disastrous from the operations c the caterpillar, the planters of the lon staple cotton have planted nearly the are of last year. The plant was somewhat pu back by the late cold spring, but the w eat h er has since been dry and warm, and th progress of the orop has been favorable No certain indioation of the yield ca be given until a more advanced period c the season is reached, the plant having t run the chance of worms, storms and othe casualties. A moderate amount of corn was plante in this division, bul the cold and unfavora ble spring, with the absence of rain since have nearly destroyed the cropi where the; were planted on light soils, and the yieli .f this grain will be extremely limited This will render the purchase of a consid arable amount of oorn necessary as tho sea son advances Labor on the sea islands ii abundant, and is only soarce in the riot districts. The negroes are reported to ti working well. There being but little mo ney in the seacoast region, the negroes ari generally paid for their labor in land. A planter, for instanoe, who wants twenty hands hires sixty hands on the " two day' system. Every one of the sixty has land tc cultivate for himself, and works for thc planter two days in each week. In this way the planter, in exchange for the land used by the sixty hands, has the labor ol sixty hands for two days each, equal to the foll work of a gang of twenty. This plan, with different modifications, has been wide? ly adopted this year. The prospects of the division are good, and the planters believe that the dry spring will make the caterpil? lar harmlees. Weighing carefully the condition of the crops in the different parts of the State, we arrive, then, at the following conclusions : 1. The wheat and corn crops of the year will be sufficient for home consumption, but as the yield will be unequally divided, some counties having more and some less than they will need, a considerable quantity of grain mast be bought before the crop of 1870 comes in. Not nearly as muon as was bought in 1867-68 should, however, be nec? essary. More oats will, it is believed, be raised than ever before. 2. The ootton orop of the State will more likely fall short of than exoeed the Drop of 1868-9. The increased area in ootton and the liberal use of fertilizers will be fully neutralized by the cold spring, and by the fact that the freedmen are now more largely than ever planting on their own ao sount. The land so planted is included in the increased area of the year, but the yield per acre will, on account of careless jultivation, be much less than where the land is tilled by negroes directed by white men. For these reasons we Bet down the jrop of South Carolina for 1860-70 at say 175 000 bales. 3 The prospects of rice are fair, and with good seasons the crop of 1869-70 ihould reach" 35,000 tierces. 4 The freedmen are working at least as well as last year, and in the upper parts of .he State are working better. Politics are growing less attractive; and the laborers ?re gradually settling down to the convie .ion that they eau make bread and meat nore easily by working, than by running to .he polls aud waiting for acres and mules which will never come, unless as the re? ward of patient industry. Oar estimates may, of course, be affected ?y the events of the future, but they rep resent fairly the condition and prospects of .he crops at this time. There is nothing in .hem to discourage us. On the contrary, ;hey show that by the use of fertilizers and .borough cultivation, we may, even in ?year frhich opened disastrously, obtain a fa r tversge return for our money and work. ME. J. W.
