In support of thc as? sertion that labor tends to increase fecundity, and indolence and luxury the reverse, many historical illustrations were adduced, among which were numerous statistics from various parts of the Southern States, showing that in a given population, where three children were born during slavery, one, or less than one, is born now, and that at least fiffy per cent, of the children of the freed people die during the first year of infancy. It is added that the immor? ality of the emancipated slaves has even more to do with their increased sterility than other causes. A Revolution on thc Se? Island?. During the spring and early summer the prospect for an unusually large crop of up? land and sea island cotton was remarkably bright. The area of land under cultivation had been largely increased; fertilisers were used more generously than ever before; the long dry season encouraged the hope that the caterpillar, if it came, would be power? less for hann. The worm, as usual, made its appearance, and swept over the cotton region ; the destruction being sufficient to dampen the spirits of the planters and drive many of them to despair. The upland cot? ton was injured by the drought more than by the caterpillar; but on the coast and on the islands the ravages of the insect, although not so disastrous as in 1867 and 1868, have tempted the planters to abandon altogether the cultivation of long staple cotton. They hoped to make a crop this year which should compensate them for three years of ruinous failure. With the seasons no fault could be found. The stands of the growing plant were as fine as could be desired. With all this in their favor, the planters will only make one half or a third of a crop. The calculation now ls lhat the caterpillar will show itself every year, the injury which it does being de? termined by the character of the weather and the early or late matuiity of the plants. Experience shows that a short crop of sea islands does not cause an advance in quota? tions equivalent to the decreased produc? tion ; and most planters know to their cost that it.is often difficult to sell the long cot? ton at lull rates, and tha't a forced sale in? volves a heavy loss. Taking into account the certainty of ?lie caterpillar, the uncer? tainty of the yield, the unsatisfactory price, and the difficulty of making prompt sales, the sea island'planters have sound reasons for giving up, In general, the growth of long cotton.. Intimate as is the connection between this city and the sea* island cotton region of South Carolina, the course of events hos been watched with anxious care, and it has seen with deep regret that the inexorable logic bf events would lead to the relinquish? ment of a pursuit which, in better times, had made the planters wealthy and Charleston prosperous. There was no immediate rem? edy. The ramie, the olive, and the tropical fruit, the orange grove and the sheep farm, could not soon replace the fleecy staple of the coast But practical planters have still one arrow in their quiver, and we learn that many of the most valuable -toast and sea island plantations will next season be devo .1 ?. Mt *-kimOm ..^ land cotton. The planters who are tho prime movers in this revolution believe that they can make the cultivation of npland cotton exceedingly profitable. In the first place it matures more rapidly than the sea island. This will lessen the danger of injury by the caterpil? lar. On a plantation on one of the islands a field of long cotton was planted on April 15th, and a field of upland two weeks later. Both fields were "eaten ouC* by the caterpil? lar. One bale to the acre hos already been picked from the field of upland cotton. The long cotton will not yield more than fifty pounds to the acre. Taking the price of the uplands at twenty-five cents and of the sea islands at seventy-five cents, the short cotton will return at least $100 an acre, and the long cotton only $37 50 an acre. The gain here is in the great rapidity with which the short cotton reaches maturity in the rich lands of the coast. Omitting the caterpillar altogether, the comparison is nearly as fa? vorable. Of long cotton the average yield is about one hundred pounds to tho acre, and of 3hort cotton, on the sea islands, thc yield is expected to be six hundred pounds to the acre. At the prices before mentioned, the long cotton would produce in money $75 an acre, and the short cotton $150 an acre. There ls also the additional advan? tage that with the same fa?oronc-thirdmore short cotton than long cotton can be thor? oughly cultivated. This alone will make an important difference in favor of short cotton. In turning their attention to upland cot? ton the old planters count on making more mouey to the acre than by continuing the growth of sea islands. They will be able to bring in their staple about September 1, and will take the very cream of the prices. Be? sides this, they will have *the certainty of selling their cotton at any moment. By dropping a quarter or a half cent they can always find a purchaser, whatever the state of the market. This is, we believe, a moderate statement of what is expected to be accomplished by the change of cultivation in the long cotton region. The planters who have taken the initiative are men of mean3 and large expe? rience, and they will give the new staple a thorough and searching trial. They have figures and estimates on their side, and if they succeed, will have solved one of the most difficult problems of the day. Should theory and practice be found to agree, the sea coast and sea island'} may again roll in wealth; and in their riches, as of old, Charleston will undoubtedly share. The Malls. The Horry News complains that Harry County, with an area of 600 square miles and a population of 10,000, has only one post road and three postofficcs. Complaints of thc same kind, more or less grave, are heard in every part of the State. Why is it, for instance, that a Charleston paper does not reach Aiken until 8 P. M., while a pas? senger starting at the same time readies that place about 4 P. M. Soutli Carolina needs more mail facilities, and, considering the taxes anti the profit Republicanism makes out of the State, it is rather hard that not one of our representatives in Congress will say a word in our behalf. CufiTee and thc Carpet-Bugger. The political cauldron is bubbling at a great rate in Georgetown. Thc Radical nominating convention settled upon one J. A. Bowley, a New Englaud carpet-bagger, as the cami ida te for the vacancy in the State Legislature. The respectable colored peo? ple were naturally incensed ; for they think, as we think, that one respectable and intel? ligent freedman is worth at least a score of carpet-baggers. So the freedmen resolved to put up a man who should represent them, not New England. They have made John Lucas, a native born freedman of Wacca maw, the representative of the colored Re? publicans. And, in the absence of an Anti Radical candidate, we hope that Lucas, the anti-carpet-bagger, will whip New England out of the field. Plain Talk. The Orangeburg News, speaking of the strife in the Radical party which gave the Conservatives their grand success in Ten? nessee, says : "80 in their divisions lies the only chance for the great Anti-Radical party in our State. At each of these conventions there ls this striie between would-be candidates ol the party. And wc remember at the election of school commissioner last spring there were even two candidates out, each claiming thc votes of the party. If the Anti-Radical party had only then been liberalized upon the conciliatory platform advocated by THE CHARLESTON NEWS and by ourselves, they could have secured the elec tlon of their candidate. These divisions will occur In these nominating conventions again. Let us be ready by having conciliated a suffi? cient number of colored voters to secure the election of Antl-Radlcals, and thus take one step to redeem our State." WE BEO to say that our proposition to sup? ply THE DAILY NEWS and Jibe "Rural Caro? linian " for one year for six and a half j dollars, or THE TRI-WEEKLY NEWS and the "Rural Carolinian" for four dollars, does not apply to persons who are now subscribers to THE NEWS. The two publications will be furnished on these terms only to persons whose names are not now upon our subscrip? tion lists. _ _ Ont Sumter correspondent says that the principal Radical candidate fur the vacancy in the State Legislature from Sumter County eau neither read nor write.
