Nsw*.] THE COTTON CROP OF TEXAS, [From the Salves ton Raws, inly 28th. ] "July makes the cotton crop," is a com mon saving among planters. Sinoe 1863 we have not had it dry, ox comparatively so, in the month of Joly until now. The rain oeaaed on on the 5th of the month, and up to the present time, with the exception of an occasional shower during the past week, ibo weather has been hot and dry. The progress cotton has . made In growing this mooth has been most marked, and we expect , to heat of picking bein? general at least two weeks earlier this season than last. The total failure of the crop in our coast counties io 1867 was attributable more ' lo the excessive and continuous rains winch -fell in Joly and August than to the rav agesxof the caterpillar. Reports come to us from tbe country of the appearance of this cotton destroyer m many sedttoos; but we do not fear hts assaults while the weather, as a general thine, continues lair. Lai t year's otop is now al) in and disposed of, aggregating some 183.000 bales at this point. The principal chaunel through which our receipts have come is tho Central RaiUoad, which broogut down some 90 OOO bales since the first of September hst: patting the receipts by boat from the Trinity River at li,500 bales, and from Sabine, Indianola and La vaca at 5500 bales, would lea e 23,0- 0 for toe Harrisburg and Columbus Riad. Makiugampleallowaaca for the damaire to the crop on the Colorado from tbe overflow, we expect to see the re? ceipts by this road the coming season doable what tbey were last. A tall crop to the acre? age, throughout the region tributary to Galves? ton w?.old swell our receipts to 200.000 biles for 1869-70-but as already stated the crop io the West bas met with a severe backset fr m an unexpected source, and taking int .? account the liability to injury, from varions causes, ot this product, we may assume that 150,000 to 175.000 bales will be nearer a correct estimate. Texas is likely to be favored this season, ever the other cotton States, in having some weeks the start of them in the way of early picking. -A landed aristocracy, it is feared, will be erected io the United States, by the immense grants which have bc JD made by the govern? ment. A oomparison is drawn between these California ranchos and the plantations iu the South. The subdivision of these estates has ano means keot pace with their enormous ?vic value, and it ia asserted that they can xK)C*ifs il to vest the children of their present owners with vaster fortunes than are known in any other part of the country,' ?nd not greatly lubke or iaferior to the immense landed es? tates Of the Bang ari an and Russian nobles, wbion bare been created ia a similar manner. DOINGS IN BEAUFORT. The Tax Q,uest ion -.Movement to Form a Kew rounty-thc Port Koyal Kail road-Corner Shops-The Murder of j Captain Hey ward. [roon otra OWN COBBESPnanon.] 10 TQB EDI TOB OF THE NIv?J. Some animation seems pervading the lone lethargic people of Beaufort, and onr people axe not over-willing to pay tue arbitrai y de? mande of the s'rangor wbo introduced himself as .Keownty Treasurer." 8oms ot the instan? ces of excessive taxation m the midst of us are somewhat striking. Ono of tbo most highly honored or our citizens anncuoeoI "this un? righteous tax" to be triple what he had over paid on bis several thousands of acres when productive, and the slaves that made them so. Aooher, a good honest farmer of very limited means, rendered nervous by the as? sessment of bis land, sold at that price before the august treasurer announced veri>a b'e t:xilion, witb the Stipulation that his pur? chaser should pay the tux. In good limo the rcprcre.itauve ot the powers that be, make? his astounding announcement to tho anfortu 11 a t-e purchaser at double the price paid for the land. Xbese things startle some of us. Aod, b jside these general evil*, the planters of the in? terior are contemplating being "haled bet?re the Judge" Kr a fortnight's term at the Town oj Beaufort with elongated visage. And well they may at this soasan, for somo co from neigh? borhoods six'y fivc miles distant, with? out any but private transportation. This pricking imposition has united Upper Beaufort and Southwestern Barnwell, which sections consider themselves similarly aggriev? ed by the removal of the old district seats of justice, A mass meeting is called toi 10th mst., to consider, on middle ground the bert means by w lucia to OD; ai a the expe? ditious formation of a new county, comprising thoso sections, aud to be called Caosawba tobie lt is there understood that the interest and influence of the several county officer* of Bevufort are thought by the incumbents to be seriously involved, and therefore opposed, un? wholesomely, to the ire3 action ot our legisla? tors. The prevailing idea is to have a court boase at a central point oo the line of the Port Boyal Railroad, :f at a meeting of that com? pany next week a president is elected, in whom the people oan fe 1 a confidence, and there ap pear any immediate prospect for the compie tion ot the road. Much is expected from that enterprise under the > direction of some man of financial strength and daring, and of an influenoo with Western railroad connections-if such an one oan be reached. Then we can extend cordial invita? tions and offer some inducements to John Chio.amai>, about which many are eche.tous Honest labor is sadly needed. Dame Bumor iBagleo with the report that the Planters' Club Qt St. Peters Parish (aa or ganiz it ion for the prevention of cotton thieving) has indict? ed a half doB3n men wbo have been keeping little tin pan and liqior shopa, and who ship? ped large quantities of cotton last a.ason. If true, it ia very commeniable ia the gen? tlemen of tba dub to hivj carefully and patiently investigated tbe case and then to take so decided a position as that indicate J by the dame. Thoso shops of snob diarepata bte trade Lave been, ever since the introduc? tion of the contract system of labrar, much too numerous for the welfare of planner or negro, and are rather multiplying than decreasing, and the planting community had done well to adopt this wholesoms measure earlier. We hope lt may have a salutary effect upon the morals of all concerned likewise, in every vi? cinity. Some interest is felt in tho approach of tho Court of Sossions, as some ot the accused of the shocking murder of the truly lamented Captain Georg" 0. H -yward will be on trial. In public sentiment they are not convicted, except by those over anxious to see somebody con? demned. B. P. T. TEXTILE FABRICS. The Kzhlhltaoxt Isa cincinnati. The exhibition of the manufactur?e of the Western, Souther}, South western and North? western States, now opsn in Cincinnati, is re? ported, to be superior in point of numbers, both of sample i and sathibitors, to that held in Chicago in 1863. Circulars wero Beat to every mill, and according to tbo Cincinnati papers. iud exhibition bas been prepared containing the largest variety of clothe and the finest dis? play of woollen and cotton goods ever col? lected together at one time and in one place in America. A descriptiou of tbe exhibi? tion states that^ the goods include cotton Eau ri cd of various kinds ; flannels, from the heaviest, coarsest grades to the finest opera ?roods ; beavers of exquisite finish ; jeans, ono sample of which is said to bo the finest ever made in America ; taney cassimeres, that have the finish and texture of foreign gooda ; doe? skins, cassimeres, tweeds, hoods, machine knit stockings, yarns, blankets, mittens, gloves, uinnel -jackets, bi a ids, underwear of all kinds, shawls of every pattern ant quali? ty, cirpebj, woo!, hemming, cotton wad? ding, sewing silk, and, in faot, everything sonnected with tho' manu'acture of cotton or wool into fabrics.

But it cot liol have been surmised that at so early a di ajournai known topos ees the confidence tho extreme portion of the present Cabin would "go back" upon the very shibboleth th; Radical party. Y.'t such is tho case. In elaborate article, evidently written und-r t inspiration of authority, and by another ba than the regular editor, proposes to dis fri obtse nioet y-nr.e nut of every hundred negrc now entitl d to vote 1 1 quote verbatim frc the Republican of this city* : The system of putting the ballot-box in the hands of tbe ignorant masses-no matt of what origin-it continued cannot fail to lei to very serious, if not disastrous results. Coi gress will be remiss in its duty to the conni: if early action on the subject is neglocted. is contended by many of our abl?st men, ai with great foros of argument, tnat the bo suffrage qualification would be "ability to rei and write the English language correctly. Witb this as a universal qualification test in : Federal and State elections, the ballot-bt wonld be protected against ignorance, and, I a very large extent, against-the possibility i orruptioi.. the brazin impudence of this sugeostit (from such a source) cannot be sufficiently a mired. Who put ''tbe ballot-box"-(I suppo tho anther meant the ballot, but his phrase literally correct)-"into the bands of the iga rant masses ?" But let that pass. The ramee preferred as sufficient to correct the evil is "i act of Congress." But fearing some little di hen Uv lu that way. a ''sixteenth a men dm en ie proposed as a means of m doing the misohi accomplished by the Reconstruction acts at tf South, and threatened by the fifteenth ameni ment to the North 1 The proposition is as fo lows: lt is objected (hat we cannot deprive as portion of our citizens of the right of sunray ii heady granted to them, ibero is no giotin upo J which to bise such a eonclusi n; bi if even the argument was sound it would afibr no plea against the proposed chango in tb laws governing tho right of suffrage. Snppos Congress, during the next session, enacted Sixteenth amendment to tbe constitu? ion, rc quiring tbe qualification of "ability to rca and write tbe English langnage correctly," a tbo condition of a right of suffrage, totak effect in one. two, or any certain number c years hence that might bo agreed upon, an called upon tbe different States to ratify timi act, what Stato or class of intelligent citizen w mid object to the proposition ? Nono what ever. The measure would be universally popa Ur, as affording a obeck against that control o tbe ballot-box by ignorance and corruptioi now dreaded in the future by our wisest states men. The confession by an organ of tbe adminis (ration that the fundamental action of the Rad leal organization, "if continued, cannot tail tr lead to very serious, if not disastrous results,' is important, and will be hailed as "tbo ring o true metal." Yet the remedy suggested ("be? yond looking to tho disfranchise mont of some white voters,) isa mere "running around Robic Hood'* barn." Wty not repeal the Rocon strnctio'i laws-allow the Southern States tc alter their constitutions, eniorced upon thea nt the point ot tbo bayonet, and reject the Fif teeni h n rj.oadment ? These measures, ( if cou? pled with prudout alterations of our naturali? zation laws applicable to the Chinese and other 1'agan immigrante,) would effectually afford "a check against that control of the ballot-box by ignorance and corruption," which has been inaugurated by Radical rascality, aud now bit? terly complained ol by their leading presses. It will be seen that our government has been foiled in its attempt underhandedly to buy Cube. Some ot the Northern papers assume to give the precise instructions furnished to Sickles. At tbs time of his departure, and even b lore it, the Administration doteimice3, for reasons then tully stated, to throw cold wa? ter upon tho movement for Cuban indepen? dence, unless annexation and Radicalism was sure to follow in its train. Hence, the vigorous enforcement of our neu rali tv laws, and tho at? tempt to purchase the island. The xumor now is that tho Ccspodes "Government" bas (after a fashion ) toed tbe mark, and given the neces? sary assurances of ' loyalty." Hence, it may be, that Spain herself may bo made to ex? perience the cooscqti stress of daring to violate our sacred neutral law*. There cannot, how? ever, nf course, bo any "recognition" yet, though for a very different reason than that assigned in Northern dispatcher. Mr. Fish has very little respect far tho ridiculous point made by Sumner that such a course would complicate, our relations with England ia re? spect to tho Alabam i imbroglio. The President, I am tolo, exhibited aome temper during his short stay here. He begins to feel the cords about his limbs, and to dis? cern some ot t lie machi II itions of the professed politic.ans who surround him.

The following letter to tbe Macon Telegraph, from Mr. 8. 1. G?stin, a prominent and suc? cessful cotton planter of Vineville. Georgia, will be read with interest by everybody inter? ested in the cultura of oar great staple : V IKEY ru. E Augnst 4.-I feel embarrassed by the prominence which baa been given my cotton patch in (ho Telegraph, as yon are aware that I bave no taste tor a public contro [ veray with those who advocate a different cul? ture! But as you and some ot your readers seem anxious to get more information about it, I will try lo describe, as briefly as possible, my method of culture on this patch. I am thoroughly convinced, tro m experience, that the benefits of deep ploughing in winter and spring are IOBI, toa great extent, if it is not followed ap by deep calf ure afterwards. Becauss the ground soon becomes bard and compact underneath, if only thc surf a co soil is cultivated in a Bnailow mano ?r; the disadvan? tages of which I will speak hereafter. The cotton patch in quent 100 is on a gentle slope of a red hill, and more soil bas been washed from it, to the ianda bolow, than bas been washed upon it from those above. It is tree from stones and stumps. Bat was nearly as hard as a brick when it waa pion?ned for the flr?t time in the early part of May. last. Bet?re ploughing. I sowad apon it broadcast ' Gustm's Super-pit'.'spuiie." at the rato of 500 pound-* par acre. With lour ni rx'ts to one ot Bnuiey'a largest sised prairie ploughs it nos ploughed eight inches d?op-followed in the same fnriow by a subsoil plough, running swerve inches deep. Hie same quantity of supei phosphate was again sown broadcast and harrowed in. The soil was thu3 protty thor? oughly pulverized and (disintegrated to the deplb ot oigbteea or twenty inches, and en? riched with tfupeiphosphate at tbe rate of 1000 pounds per acre. You will say that that is pretty expensive. Bat I will venture to say that this land will pro? duce quito its much cotton aud as much corn as the brit land ott a plantation in Floyd coun? ty which sold for $100 per acre a tew weeks ago. AtVr harrowing it was checked off with a small p;ough 3x6 feet in widen the seed were phmte J-a singlo plant only was lett to a bill and covered wu b a hoe, which was the only work doue with a hoe-as the subsequent cu ' ture was doue entirely with- MapeV Subsoil Lifter sod a horse hoe. It has boon onltira'ed fonr times with the subsoil lifter and twice with the horse hoe. Tbis subsoil lift r is made of wrought iron is light aud can easily bs drawn by a single mole or horse where the ground ha* kwen pre? viously subsoiled. From its peculiar construe - tioj it turua no furrow, but works under tbe round like a mol*, to th? depth of about fteen inches, slightly raising the soil aa it moves along. The soil in falling back is pul? verized at least a foot on either tide of its iraca. The horse boo is an improvement on the cul? tivator and effectually destroys sll woeds and thoroughly pulv?risas the aurfaoe soi1. At the first working of thc cotton the subsoil liner was ran four times between the rows tbe wide wav-three times the second-twice the third timo-aud once at the last working, run? ning as olosaly as possible to the plants every tims. lhere is no danger of destr.ying or injuring the roots oy this method of culture it the plough is not run so near that the swiagle-troe breaks the branob.es -on the contraxv. it is the very best preparati m for the rapid multiplica? tion and extension of the small fibrous roots whioii are the feeders to tbe plants. This deep culture must be kept np from tbe beginuing. If the roots are prevented from growing downwards by the hardness and pov? erty of the soil below, and are forced to extend themselves only near the surface, deep plough? ing, nuder such circumstances, would undoubt? edly mutilate th iee roots, to the injury of the pl&ut and cause it lo shod ita fruit. This COttun IS now Ubont ov^od . half feat bitrb, and where tho stand is perfest, th? branches meet m overy direction, and arc so heavily Inden wilh fruit that some of the branches are splitting off with the weight. It was plauted on tbo 9th of May, and has grown rapidly from the start. Il was not in? jured ia the feast by the drought, and at that time not a single fallen boll, square or form could bo found. Since the rains i have noticed a few fallen G quites. Plants growing on a foil cultivated so deeply eau hardly bc injured by di ought aad are benentted in various other ways. lt must be remembered that the atmosphere is the great store-bouse from winch plants do rivo at least nino-temhs of the substances of which they are oomposed. Ammonia is con? stantly escaping into the atmosphere from de? cay IL g animal and vegetable matter. Car borne acid gas and water are largely diffused in thc atmosphere, and the hotter tho weather the more water is held in suspension. We all know how large n, portion of a tree is charcoal or carbon, and that when it is burnt and combines with tho oxygen of tho atmosphere and becomes carbonic acid gas-bu invisible gas escaping into tbs atmosphere-bow httle ie lett bobine! as a residuum. Tbat little is the product of tbe soil. What has disappeared is substance derived from the atmosphere. Now, it the soil be deeply pulverized, so as to al ow a free circulation of tbe atmosphere thiough it, tho watery vapir is condensed by coming into contact with tho cool eu ts tra tu no of the earth, on the same principle that the atmosphere condenses upou tho sides of a pitcher filled with cold water npon a warm mid-summer day-thus supplying the roots with moisture holding ia solution these fertili? sing gases which tho atmosph?re contains, so necessary to the growth and development of tho plant, and in tins condition BO readily to be taken ap by its roots and fibres. Besides ali this, those atmospheric gases and water make f olublo and a food for the plant other substances in tho earth, winch without thom would remain insoluble, inert and useless. A deeply pulverized soil has still another ad vantngo IQ dry weatbor. lt draw* np the moisture from below, upon tho principle of capillary attiaotion, which may bo illustrated by holding a lump of loaf sugar part way im merced in your cup or coffee. The su ?ar will immediately draw up tuflkiont of the liquid to become saturated with the moist uro. All tboso advantages aro greatly diminished or entirely lost in a bard, compact soil. When tho rains tall-impregnated with these fertiliz? ing gases-if tho soil bo deeply mellowed and porous, they are absorbed at once and pene? trate to tho roo.B of the plants, with their rich burdon of lite and health. But if only the f-ur ta:e is mellow, and tbo ground bj sloping or hilly, most of who rain rnns off, carrying with it much of the surtaco mould into the streams below, ?u the other hand, should tho ground ba level it lies jpon tho surface till evaporated by tho san and tho conching gases escape agnin into the atmosphere which should bo ap? propriated by the crop. Water which hos upon tho 6urfac3 till evap? orated by the sua makes the gtouod cold. It takes the boat from it to convert tho water into vapor, upon tho samo principio that a roeni ir sidewalk is cooled by sprinkling with water on a sunny day. Finally, it the water remains upou tho sutfaco long enough to Lecomu stag? nant, it becomes so poisonous to thc plants that they turn yellow aud sickly. It would be easy, M'-ssrs. Editors, lo pro? long tliPse re narks indefinitely, hut I baro no time. I hold you responsible altogether for this apparent obtrusion of my viows. I hive no desire to obatnpionize them, or to combat conflicting opinions; but, having appealed to mo foi an explanation of some little singulari? ty in the mode of cultivating the cotton patch in question, J have written this solely in detar cnc3 to Ibo requests of your roaderd and your? selves.

STRANGE TRAGEDY. The Wife of a Prominent Boston Phy? sician shot Dead in her Parlor in the j Presence of htr Family. ? strange ind terrible murder took place in Boston on Tuesday evening last, the particn hrs of which are given in the Journal as fol? lows : About halt-oast ten o'clock last evening, Dr. Alvan fl. Hobbs, wbo is an old and bichly es? teemed physician of this city, rebiding at No. 1266 Washington-street, rushed breathlessly into tho fifth station, and stated to Captain Small that his wirV had been shot. Sergeant Hawthorn was immediately dispatched to the scene of the tragedy, and arrested Major Thomas L. White, said to bo a resident of j the State of l'ennesBoo, but for some time past residing in the family of Dr. Hobbs for medical treatment. This White was tho author of the tragical' event, and w?s brought to the station-house without anv re? sist ince. The statements ot inmates of Dr. Hobbs' family are to the effect that the mem? bers, including the murderer, had taken tea together in the most friendly and agreeable manner, and at thc conclusion of the repast Major White retired to his room in the upper part of the house, where he commenced to road aloud. Mrs. Hobbs proceeded up stairs and inquired why ho read in so high a tone, to which Wune replied : "In order to develop my Jungs," or words to that effect Mrs. Hobbs soon afterward co ne down stairs again, and was about to enter the parlor, when, turning her head m the direction of the room above, she saw White coming down with a pistol iu bis hand. She seemed to bo apprehensive of j White's murderons intention, for she imme? diately called out to ber husband, "He is coming, and with a pistol," and almost simultaneously with this ejaculation tho first shot from ?be assasin's pistol le souoded through tbe house. This shot proved ineffectual ?a fa as striking the murderer's viotim v. :;n;erned, who rm media ely closed the d: jr-dtwaen herselfand White. Bat, strangely, tbe second shot - which almost immediately followed the first after passing through a panel of the door, entered the left breast of the unfortunate wo? rn in. p-isf ed through her body and came out under the right arm, and she fell to the floor, and in a few momenta breathed ber last. The dre-idtnl aot was witnessed by the husband and young son of the victim-a boy about nine years ot age, who bas since been almost fran? tic with grief and horror. Whon tho officer entered tho room wherein the terrible cn mn took place, the murderer stood in the middle of the apirlmen t contem? plating his fiendish work, and still holding in bia hand tue tata! instrument of death. Im? mediately, however, upon th a entrance of Sergeant Hawthorn, he ex ended bis arms in a theatrical manner,->B tying. "I'm your mani" and was immediately secured and conducted to the station-house, whither ho proceeded quietly. White is a good looking man, apparently somewhere in the vicinity of thirty years of age; and? in conversation with the offi? cer on the way to the station, although ox pressing no regret at the horrible deed he had committed, remarked tbat there ought not to bave boen causa enough for him to have done what be did. Tbe murd ired woman, Mrs. Katie Hobbs, was the second wife of the doc? tor, and was about thirty-five years of age. It iB stated tbat tho murderer had been a friend and acquaintance of Mrs. Hobbs from early childhood, and no teasou was given last night showing what impelled the murderer to commit the awful deed. While, last night, waa unaware ot the extent of his crime, and seemed to be nnder the impression tbat his victim was still alive. It is deemed ad nsable by those in authority to leave him in that con? dition for the present. An examination of tbe/oom of the murder? er after his arrest revealed a scene of tha wild? est disorder. Books and papers wore scatter? ed about in every direction, and innumerable letters were roan 1 tn a partially consumed con? dition. The murderer, White, carno from Nova Scotia. When tho war commence! be 03listed ia tho Ninth Massachusetts Regi? ment as a private. He was so morely wounded at Fredericksburg, and subsequently promo? ted to the rank of major. Of late ho has re? sided in Mississippi, and was a delegate from that Stato to tho ('mc ago Convention of 1838, and since has acted aa a regis try officar, a pos i sitiou secured for him by bis friend General Dent. He carno to Boston about two weeks ago from Mississippi, Bartering from a palm > nary complaint, and having bjon an intimate friend of Dr. Hobbs and wife, was taKen into their family for madical treatment. It ts as? serted that White was in love with Mrs. Hobbs, and, m fact, a monomaniac iu his devotion to li or. ?bitaerg.
