Iii looking over tho Siirfticc-iiilngs hore lo sift uni Hie truno ami true frum ?lie lia 1 aud false, oiie is struck willi Hie extent lu which the manu? facture of so-calleil Washington news is carried. Journals that are continually harping utioul their "enterprise," arc the ones that seem to deal mos' in bogus dispatches. The Herald and World in New York ure quite famous for this, and ave known to publish columns of sensational matter which have no foundation ?D Washington, and were never sein from herc. Thc World a few days ago published a column and a half of a double leaded "special dispatch," ingeniously con? cocted, aud atlempling lo show that the adminis? tration would be utile to resume Bpeclo payments ou Hie Hrs*, of January, tie the dispatch being shown io Secretary Cornwell, he merely remarked that he "wished it was true," and very properly added that it exhibited more conildcncc in thc linancial policy and ability or thc administration thnu the most ardent Radical reit. Thc New York Post is another journal thal indulges In great reats or enterprise, in sending special dis? patches from Hs editorial lo its composing room with fresh dates on them, and pretending tu come all thc way from Washington. Its competitor, thc New York Express, ls so old an offender in this line Hint it hardly need bc mentioned, yet it com? pletes thc list. There ls apparently no excuse ror such a course, for every one or thc papers named keep competent representatives herc to post them by mail and telegraph; but when legitimate news is dull, there is a striving ror a sensation "to make thc papers sell." lt is, perhaps, thc main reason ror so ranch contradiction in thc matter or Washington dispatches to the New York press. Mr. Cornwell and Mr. Delano have agreed to pluy the administration's best card at the open? ing ot Congress-thc financial card. Cut they are so continually bungling in their debt state? ments as to make people, who believe that figures can bc made to lie, think that there is something wrong alter all in Hie claims made by the Treas? ury iu the reduction ol thc debt. A dny or two ago a quarterly debt statement was given out with a great flourish. Yesterday a startling cor? rection was heralded from thc department mak? ing a difference or forty-five millions In thc sum total. Thc condition or thc Treasury on Novem? ber 1, ls t ho ono submitted to Congress in Decem? ber, and lt will show that if thc 1'aciflc Railroad bonds arc Included in thc debt. Hie latter has not been reduced more than a million in thc last year. The government ls merely secured by a second mortgage on these bonds, and will probably have lo pay them in i he end, ror all thc road can do is to pay thc Interest and redeem its own first mort? gage bonds. Rut what is thc true condition ol our debt ? Perhaps Messrs. Coutwell amt Delano are good witnesses. By thc November statement t lu total debt is $2,408,406,072 ll. and thc do.it mg debt is as much again. In' thc Fortieth Congress tho following debate occurred: Mr. Delano. Our nation now groans with the weight or public debts und necessary taxation, ".ml our credit must bc maintained. I know that i icrc arc now Hoaxing claims against this nation, ucl less in amount than $4,000,000,000, according lo my estimate; und these claims, H admitted at all, will never bc settled with less than $2.000, 000,000. I do not believe they will bc settled for that. Mr. coutwell. Will the gentleman let rae ask him a question? Mr. Delano. Certainly, slr. Mr. cornwell. I would ask thc gentleman whe? ther, when he refers to this floating debt, which cannot bc liquidated without an expenditure of $2,000,000,000, he refers to claims that may bc brought tiy persons In the clcveu States lately in rebellion? Mr. Delano. I refer only to claims of loyal per? sons. Mr. Bout well. I wonld ask him whether he in? cludes claims that may bc brought in by States lately In rebellion ? Mr. Delano. I refer to such claims as will bc made by loyal people in all thc States, and none others. When 1 say that lt will take $2,000,000, 000,1 do lt on the assumption that wc shall com? pound these claims In some manner without set? tling up tho full amount. This answers all doubts, and If more facts are needed it can bc stated that sixty-two millions of dollars of these jnst claims have been audited for payment, but hare nol been paid. The President has completed thc principal por? tions or hts annual message, and thc most that eau bc said about lt is thal he intends to send it to Congress in manuscript, to prevent its prema? ture publication, and Hiai thc document will bc brief. Mr. Craat will not lie able lo toll us much that ls new. Thc Sickles* farce in Spain, Motley's failure lo do any t hil.g in England, thc Cuban ques? tion, and thc cost nf reconstruction are all known to thc country. There ought to bc something new about San Domingo nnd Mexico. He will probably endorse Boutwell's plan for a four per cent, consolidated loan, though hardly knowing what lt means, and conclude with a few remarks on the army, in which some reformatory chauges arc to bc suggested. Senator Sawyer had a confab with (?rant yes? terday and goes Sonth 10-morrow. Congressman H?ge, or Sonth Carolina, is In town. Candidates for thc Senate Onices multiply, and a complete change ls regarded os inevitable. Most or thc annual reports arc completed. De? lano and Treasurer Spinner finished their's yes? terday.

The Long Staple and Upland Cotton Crops Before and Since thc War-Thc Kcal Extent of the Ravugcn of the Worm - Shall the Sea Inlands he Planted with Upland Cotton?-Thc Views of a Practical Planter on the Seaboard. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEWS. I nra convened ihot there ls more injury at? tributed to thc colton worm titan actually accrues from a. ] propose to show this, lt is not de? nied that when thc crops arc retarded in growth by extraordinary vicissitudes of season, so that the fruiting is postponed toa late period of thc year and thc wliolo crop put in Jeopardy or thc worm, great havoc may be committed and nearly all ir not thc whole crop lie calen up. These extra? ordinary seasons are, however, entirely excep? tional, so that wc may not bose any calculations upon them. Il cannot bc denied by an experi? enced planter that much loss is attributed to thc worm, winch is sure to uccruc in most seasons from thc natural contingencies arising outside of thc depredations of this Insect. Wc sec devon red what scorns of such folr promise thal wo at once conclude that every pod calen ls so much actual loss, when tho truth is, wc arc bound to sufler at least twenty per cent, loss or this rruit, Hum thc green bell to thc housed colton. Now let us Bee what crops have been made during the last three years, and compare them willi slave grown crops and thc uplands for thc sarao years. I think tho result* arc truly surprising, when we consider that these crops have been mado un? der the mostanpropltlouscircumstancesthatcver hedged mund human effort. Thc crop of 1809, raised in spite of freezing spring, floods and ravaging worms, reached 17,030 hales; tue crop of 1807, under scarcely In? ferior clrcnmsianees, reached 20,497 bales; the crop of 1860, In a fair ordinary season, got in lute, worked willi most demoralized IIIIKII, SO far as our coast lu concerned, ami partially eaten bj*| thc worm, reallied 32,000 hales. . Wc will Krude down lhere several crops on ac count of light weights, in comparison with for? mer times, laking 2000 hali s from each crop. This, it is thought, will rectify Iii? difference.

Again, thc sea Island crop or 1S08 ls only 26 per cent, behind thc crop or 1847; whilst thc crop or sea Island oi 1807 is only 10 per cent, behind that or 1847. Thc average crop or api?ada Tor 1800, 1801 and 1808 la 57 per cent, or thc average crop or 1800, 1859 and 1S6S. That ls whilst thc upland average crop reaches 67 per cent, or thc average crop Just before thc war, wc have reached In sea islands 47 percent., or have unly fallen behind uplands In un average of 10 per cent. In view of the overwhelming reverses which have pursued us, of worm, flood, dislocated in duatrles and ruined homes, the results arc a triumphant exhibition or resource and manage? ment, which puts to rebuke all detraction, and be? fore which our unhappy people or the coast may take comfort and (Ind new courage. In order to show what part of these reverses ls attributable to seasons alone, let ua look ? little rurthcr. The crop or 1840 was ravaged by worms to an extent never exceeded berorc or since. Seo how it compares with 1845 and 1847: Seo Island crop, 1840 . 20,612 Against 1847.21,314 Showing a diiTcrcncc or only 1802, thong!) there was not a worm on the crop or 1847. So, too, 184S reit behind the crop or 1846, (20,976,)93O4 bales, or about thirty per cent., a part ol which must In fairness tie attributed to the excessive wet season of 1840, though it could not bc compared in this par? ticular to 1806 and 1807. Thc floods on our flat coast la mig ar- no less desi niel Ive than the drought or past seasons in thc upland regions. Thc freezing Springs with which wc have been visited, I care not what may bc said to thc contrary, precluded thc best results. It will be observed, says thc United States Econ? omist, that no large crops have occurred when thc bloom was arter June thc 1st. These blooms, or course, it will bc understood, are confined to milder cotton regions, but arc accepted as a rul? ing indication or thc season throughout the cotton section. Strange as it may seem, nothing compara? tively is gained by recovering time lost io a late spring by o. following late rall. With thc earliest frost on record, (1845,) thc crop was good. For seventeen years thc May and 1st June blooming crops were all good, whether frost in thc rall was carly or late. m.OOHS AND rHOSTS. First bloom. Frost. Crop. 1840.Innc 6.

Herc wc see no appreciable difference between thc two Jnnc blooming crops, whilst thc May blooming crop exceeds them nearly 60 per cent. Thc comparison between 1865 and 1867 is very striking. Thc crops of 1855 bloomed Mny 30; frosts Octo? ber 25-3,627,000; 1867, bloomed June 24; frosts November 20-3,076,000. Thc croo or 1857 hud a more dry growing season, yet lt was exceeded by thc May blooming crop 600,000 bales. I hove Bald enough to show thc singular value or carly fruiting, und thc con? sequent injury or cold springs postponing thc growth or thc plants. Tim fact Is no less reasonable than evident. When a crop fruits carly much or it ls made at ii time when the vicissitudes or thc seasons arc escaped; and mo?', or thc fruit mada ls held whilst crops fruiting late cast ou* orien as rast as they make. I have been at much pains to look this whole subject through, to show what has really been dor e In thc long-cotton regions, and that wc can, witji normnl seasons ta fce the. worm and make n living, ir we could reach prices commensurate with fair cost or production. Alas, lt la this preg? nant if which has caused all our trouble. With fair prices malnta1 ted I have no rears hut that wc can raise a uandsome sea island crop. Hut wc havo had timely warning on this' subject,and ir wc were to mako a good crop or sea island it would bc n drug on tho market. In our only high average, crop or I860, good cotton wus run down to forty cents in currency, really cheaper '.linn before tho war. Tho markets have not ruled np in proportion to tho declino in crops of 1807 and 1808. That or 1868, not a third or a foll crop, came to a doll and over nice market, and good fifty cent cotton (on old basia pri?es) baa been sold for eighty cen ta in curren cy. Uno eraclllng the crop Of 1866 WO havo ever since failed to roach prices at all comae nj a rute willi reverses encountered in MOT and iso*.

This leaves us no alternative hut to go into a staple that wc cnn sell when we make it, ?iud make ai a lower cost. The notion thal we cannot raise uplands on the coast, mid do it successfully, ls only a notion, tine planter on thc coast had given up sea islands entirely and planted for several years before the war his whole crop in uplands, though he had been raising the Oncst varieties olsen ish.n d,with rally as much success as his neighbors. I propose to show in another article what amount or upland wc may reasonably expect tu make in comparison with sea islands. lu conclusion, I cannot estimate the average lom from worm In normal seasons at over thirty percent., ir so much, and, upon this basts, put thc sea Island crop of nie present year ul23,00iJto 24,000 bales.

O If TUE STUMP. A Congressional Carpet-Bagger Har? angue* bis Constituents. [ritOM oui: OWN COUIIE8PONDENT.] K i N?ST ii EB, November 16. Whlttcmorc, thc so-called representative of this Congressional District In Congress, so-called, has been herc. Ila dropped In among lils dear friends, thu negroes, to seo how they wera getting along. It was hy accident that he met his friend swabs, the senntor for Williamsburg, not long since, nnd told him ho thought ho would pay his friends In Williamsburg a visit-ho would meet them at Klngstrcc. Hu would like to know how they were getting along. Well, true to his word nnd to his friend Swalls, he nindc lils appearance 111 Kingstrcc. His friend Swuils was busy In thc meantime, and got up a respectable number or negroes io greet thc Con? gressman. There was quite u crowd herc, but not so large a ono as we expected to sec. He came among them lo ranko a speech, lt had enough of thc stentorian aboutit; but he evi? dently reit that he spoke tn a crowd that expected something besides a speech. They wore looking ror that mule and thc forty acres or land. They thought lt should be lull time to sec thc surveyor come ulong. lie commenced lu a low tone or voice; told his friends omi reilow-citlzens Hint he supposed they thought he had rorgcttcn them. Ile was glad to see them; hoped that they did nm loso a day's work by coming to meet him, (what he mcnut by this must bc Hint ho hoped their employers would pa v them ror thc time lost from their work white attending on Slr Oracle.) Ile did not Intend to desert them, and, as evidence or tho fact, here ho was again among them. Ho was glad to sec that they all looked comfortable; that ho sow so many signs of prosperity about them, (he will pay them more frequent visits, now that they'have some? thing.) Ile was glad tn seo soino nf them riding to thc village; tho times were changed for thc better, ond they all looked contented und happy. Ile heard of no complaints, no one grumbling, except tho editor or thc Klngstrcc Star, (tho Star ls not a favorite or Whittemoro's,) but some peo? ple would growl no matter what happened, and the only good such paoplc did the world was al? ways dono by their leaving lt. (Whlttctnnro, 110 doubt, intended this as a reply to thc Star, In which he und somo others wcro told, some timo ago, that they "left their country ror their country's good.") Ho evidently labored hard lor something lo get up a little enthu? siasm, and endeavored to get orr a row stale newspaper Jokes and anecdotes, In order to raise a laugh among thc negroes. Ho told them thc old tale or Ibo littlo boy with the puppies, chang? ing wMa to Democrat and 7t>n/ to itepubUcan an anecdote as old as tho hlUs. It may bo new to Whlt'cmorc-lt certainly was as good as new to his audience, ror lt made them laugh heartily. Ho spoke ol tho next year's contracts, end ad . 7{scd them all to rent land, be industrious and saving, and buy a homestead. If they could not buy or rent they must make tho liest bar? gains that they could; bat by all means IMhov rented lands they must, take care not to pay for tho rentas much as tho title waa worth. Ile dis? claimed any lutention to get np antagonism between them and the whites, yet, at overy opportunity ho endeavored to Instit into tho minds of the negroes the idea thu: tho whites were cheats and mnat bo watched. Ile rambled, In his rigmarole, from Gallileo to Napo.co names with whloh his hearers were perfectly laminar, from John C. Calbonn to Andrew Johnkon, and mixed up Hu; agricultural f:,|r> uM ttefent nf tho Democracy everywhere, ami General ila?.i's speech. Ilcussnrcd iiin friends thal limy need not labor under any ivar of tlx: Chinese labor era-they would noi como here from thc rh-h slopes nf california, because. If they ?lo work well, they must lu; paid moro than the South can pay. (The coining of thc Chinese la a sou- subject with these itmiicais, paiiieuiariy suenan Whltlcmorc.) lie does not believe they will come. Ile took ii i? Hut laud question, und upon thc mention or laud his audience brightened up. They thought he waa about to measure oir Haly acres lo each. A visible enlivening or tim fea? tures all romul might have been perceived for a moment; but when they round out that lie waa talking only about the lauds which the Slate has to sell to i hem, it was laughable to see the effect. They had previously luund mil something aboul the mauner tn which the lands purchase?! r?ir (he state i>y thc Land Commissioner aro manipula? ted. They came lo listen lethe braying of that mule, amt lo receive a patent Tor forty seres, no more, no less. Hut when thc Reverend Divine announecil the slaming fact lhat, ir they ever expected to own any land, they must buy lt ami pay for it. the remainder of the speech had very little effect upon ihcm, notwithstanding his linc quotations from Scott, Cowper, frateaKeii, Mont? gomery, mid others. The crowd, very;much dlssatlsllcd at their repre? sentative's oratorical display, ami quite disap? pointed in their expectations un thc lund ?pies hm, dispersed. Whltlcmorc has good lungs. Ile would be in aluahle In a large hog-rungu, where thc ?troves arc far scattered, ile could collect theta without he use of u horn. Ile is unscrupulous, however, is to the means by which he can accomplish his Meet. Ile had the audacity to tell thc negroes hal whenever lhere was much stealing going ou, he cause lay willi the farmers, who did not deal fairly willi thom-thal they were not paid sutil lent for their labor-and (hal when the farmers 'anted the golden rule of "doing to others,'' ftc., di cause for stealing would bc removed. Ile desired lo impress un their minds thal although he was nut often among them, hu was still guard? ing their Interests. Thc poor dupes are beginning to learn something. They will soon have their ?yes open. They are bearii lo express wishes for -dx dollars per ?lay for themselves, and nrc begin? ning to think of their own ability to spend six ?lul " irs a day, as well us to allow a carpet-bagger to ipend lt for then]. They ure tired or thc promises hieb ure made to Hie ear only to be broken to he. hope. "Kollow your leader" will very shortly full on their curs wlihoul a response from them. So mote it he.

Thereupon Smith's son thrashed thc reporter and his curiosity is supposed lo t>c Battened. -Victoria's portrait, with the autograph letter given lo George Peabody, thc gobi snuff-box pre? sented by thc Fishmongers' Association, nf bon? don, the gold box In which Mr. Peabody received thc freedom ol' the City of London, and thc gold medal presented by Congress, arc permanent h dcposltcd in the Peabody Instituto, at .South Dan? vers. They are Intrinsically valuable beyond their associations; the Victoria portrutl alone cost $5000; nu?! they arc kepi lu a sure or thc best construction, while, for further safety and ac? cording to conditions made by Mr. Peabody, they arc guarded by a watchman night nnd day. -Of lloulwell a Washington correspondent says: "Thc financial head of thc country is au cn thustastto billlardlst. To him thc cue and balls arc a perfect ?Icllght. After a busy ?lay spent in close attention to thc buslucss of thc dry work of his department, thc elegant Uovcrnor, who, by the way, ls growlug lu his manner very like unto Charles Sumner, repairs to a select billiard saloon on Pennsylvania avenue, und there spends two or three hours making Ids camms. Doutwcll ls not a professor of the scientific game, but he ls a very fair player and improves apace. Ile has a cue of his own, which bc brings with him to thc billiard saloon amt carries home with him when he fin? ishes playing. George S. may bc seen issuing from the saloon sometimes as late as midnight." -President Grant's chief mode of recreating while in Washington ls a long walk early in thc morning and a ride after ?1 in ncr. Ono day, for instance, thc President starts out from the White House along F street and back, and thc next day, by way of variety, takes his course along Penn? sylvania avenue towards Georgetown. Uc may bc seen almost nny morning enjoying this pedes? trian exercise. He walks along very slowly, with one hand lu his breeches pocket, and tho other either holding a cigar or thrown behind his back A strange little man ls tirant In his walks. He never looks to thc right or thc left, but straight before lum, or towards thc gronud, and seems not to notice any of thc passers. Ills manner ls altogether that of a man wrapped up in lils own thoughts and unconscious of what is happening about him. Many win? know him pass President I Grant In these walks, but very few venture to | Join him. -A London writer says: "I learn that at a mo? ment Just immediately prior to the lntc (icorge Pcubody leaving England on his lust visit to America. Queen Victoria addressed a letter in royal autograph to him, in which she expressed a great wish to meet him at a personal interview, and requesting him to Inform her of the moment of his return to F.nglund. Un his arrival nt Ids home in this city fruin thc United State.?:, Mr. Peabody, in accordance with her Majesty's Invita? tion, communicated thc fact to thc court, and in reply received an invitation from Hie Queen to conic and spend a day quietly with her on her re? turn to Windsor from Scotland. When thc Qnecn was subsequently made aware of tho very serious illness of Mr. Peabody, she proposed to visit Slr Curtis Lampson's house and sec him, but the rap<dly fatal termination of the disease presented her Majesty, to her very great regret, from carry? ing her friendly intentions Into practical effect." ?bUvmrn.. WHILDEN.-Died, in Sumter County. Septem? ber thc -Ith, Mr. ELIAS WIMI.DK*, in the 7 ist year of lils age. The deceaseil wa? In truth n most estimable cit? izen, mid greatly beloved by thc whole circle of his acquaintances. All must feel sad who knew him, when they reflect thal the heart that was so susceptible to thc appeals of charity Is ?tilled for? ever, ami thc baud Huit was ever ready tn administer relief, can no more perform those kind ?mices. Wnentho young are eullcd hence, wo In? stinctively shrink away from thc spectacle of youth ami beauty brought Into thc emin ace of death, ami the i bought lssuggcsled that here is n mission unfulfilled, a flower cut down before Hs petals have felt thc Intbieuec of sunlight; but when thc full and ripened ehr ls gathered u,ito thc gai uer, wc feel that herc ls a mission fullllled, an object -punned for many yenrs for good and noble purposes; and such in thc Divine hand was tho subject of this notice. Ills hearty concur? rence ami zealous labor In all good works, won for him during many years the proud distinct ion of being placed hy universal consent in thc front rank of nil enterprises having for their end and ulm thc advancement or virtue, morulily and thc good of tho human species. He was, in every sense of thc word, a benefactor nf his race, and th?; linn supporter of nil that was good, noble and true. As a patriot, he wan unsurpassed in Ids devotion to thc great principles that underlie a constitutional republic; and row suffered more In thu maintenance of Hmso principles. Two of his gallant sons scaled their devotion to their conntry upon tho bloody Held of baltic, willi their lives, und thc slivered locks that now rests In tho grave grew, whiter, and thc silent henrt beat, sadder, when the mournful Intelligence came that two props or his old agc had been i uk en away. Nor did ho escape thc severo and universal de? struction of property that was thc common lot of tho Southern people, having lost very heavily hy thc result? or thc war; but all this ho bore with tho philosophy for which he was noted-feeling that bard as thc blow was to be stripped In old ago of thc accumulation of a lifetime, yet even this would weigh ur. nothing If his bleeding coun? try could have been disenthralled and redeemed. In tho evening of life and In tho sere and yollow leaf, ho has fallen, full of good deeds and en? shrined In tho hearts of all. To his atltr.tcd fainil y? the loss ls Indeed great and hard to be borne, but in this dark honr let them remember "Earth hath no wound That Heaven cannot cure," * . A PRIBND.
