Middle-Age. Tne son of life has crossertthe line: Tbe summer-shine or lengthened light Faded and failed, till where I stand Tis equal day and equal night. One after one, as dwindling hou-s, Youth's glowing hopes have dropped away, And soon may barely leave the gleam That coldly seores a winter's day. I am not young; I am not old ; The flush or morn, the snnset calm, Paling and deepening, each to each, Meet midway with solemn charm. One side I see the Summer fields Not yet disrobed ot all their green; While westerly, along the hills Flame the flrat tints or frosty sheen. Ab, middle point-, where cloud and storm Make battle-ground of this, my life I Where, even matched, the night and day Wage round me their september strife t I bow mc to the threatening gale; I know when that is overpast. Amone the peaceful harvest days. An Indian Summer comes at last t THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. Payment of Teachers while the Schools are Closed. The public schools in Abbeville were sus? pended on June 23, 1871, and reopened in Feb? ruary, 1872, and the teachers ask for a manda? mus requiring the school commissioners to countersign orders lor their pay during the suspension, which orders were drawn by the trustees ot the district. Judge Orr decides : 1. That Thomas M. Williamson, school com? missioner, is not bound, mechanically, to sign ali ?ich orders as the board or trustees may draw on the county treasurer; but that he has the power to close the schools or "limit the school year according to Behool funds appor? tioned to his county." 2 That, whilst the services of the relators ought to be paid lor, and they may poss")ly bave some remedy against those who employ? ed them, or by application to the Legislature, yet they were rendered after the schools had been closed by order of the school commis? sioner, when they were in fact no public schools, and mandamus will not He to make the school commissioner countersign orders for said services. THE GROWING CROPS. South Carolina. In Newberry the weather is showery, with good rains in many places. The Abbeville Press Bays: "During the past lew days we have been favored with re? freshing rains, and are pleased to learn that they have been very general. Sections of the district have Buffered severely for want of rain, and it was generally much needed. The corn crops bave already suffered, but fruitful seasons henceforth will do much to reinstate them. Abbeville seems to have suffered more this season than any of her sisters, and our exchanges generally In the State report fina growlntr crops. The Williamsburg Star says: "We learn that in some paris of the county the crops are suffering very much tor the want ol rain. We observed during a recent trip in the country that the crops were looking very promising, especially the cotton." Tbe Orange")urg Times says: "The crops have done splendidly and everything looks lolly up to last year's show at this lime. The labor market ls rather empty owing to a very , generally Increased disposition ot the colored men to hire their patches and idle when not ncti^ly engaged in said patches, which ls onlyyhen absolutely necessary, and not al? ways then." The Edgefleld Advertiser says: "In some sections the cotton is small, and stands sorry, yet with good seasons and a late tall, near an average crop may be expected; whilst in other portions of Edgefleld-a large belt across the entire county-the colton crop ls. Indeed, un? usually fine, and the husbandmen'are highly elated with their prospect of realizing a large yield and handsome profits in the harvest time." Alabama.. We have from the planters of North Ala? bama cheering accounts ot the crops. Cotton ia somewhat backward, but doing well. Corn ls in good condition. The wheat harvest has begun, and we are told that the average yield ls likely to be as great as In any previous year, if not greater. -Huntsville Advocate. The tanners in tbe vicinity of Pineapple, in Wilcox, say their crops are suffering tor rain. The past week bas not witnessed fast growth of cotton; nights too cold and dry. Second growth has caused additional hoeing and trouble to planters. There ls little grass; gronnd well cultivated, prospects ?ood. Corn bas Improved rapidly.-Florence Journal, 12;/*. Reports from the crops continue favora? ble. The prospects for a corn crop are now most encouraging. Cotton is also quhe prom? ising, but lt is as yet altogether too early tn tbe season to speculate as to this crop. Heavy rains have ol ten blasted the flnept prospects for cotton.-Greensboro' Beacon, 15th. mississippi. Throughout the-past week the weather bas been as favorable as could be desired for the planting interests. Cotton is growing finely, and, where it has been properly earea tor, ls a promising crop.-Carrol Republican, Provi? dence, Ibth. l$e prospects for a good crop of cotton and corn were never more precarious than at Ibis time. Tbe dry weather of April retarded the growth of cotton, and, with the late rains, the cotton and corn are both needing work at the same time. Tbe result is that tho crop ls more uncertain than we bave ever seen it, as, on one place, the cotton ls being worked to the neglect or the corn, and on another the corn to tbe neglect of tbe cotton, making one or the other suffer upon nearly every farm. The colton ls small, and, if. the next two weeks are not favorable, ihe crop will presenta fair sbowiag for a one-half crop - Panola Star. We learn from some of our farming friends tbat the crops of both corn and cotton are doing very well-Indeed, are better than last year at same time. Altogether things look Hopeful, though the dull season has set in in dead earnest, and the merchants complain of no business, and weall complain of no money. Canton Citizen. The following ls from the Field and Factory, the official crop reporter of Mississippi: "We deduce from onr crop and weather reports for the month of May the following facts: Tbat the acreage In cotton has been very little, if any, reduced by the severe drought; but at least one-half of the crop is very backward, and unless we bave a propitious season and late frosts the cotton crop must lall short of an average one. The corn crop Is very back? ward ana the plant small, but worked well and in good condition, the prospect for a large yield encouraging. Tbe late sown oats almost a total failure; whereas red oats, sown in the Tall and early winter, have made a good yield." Texas. We bear favorable accounts of ibe pros? pects of Bea island cotton from various points wtwre that staple is planted around Galveston Bar. On the north shore, about Turi le Bay, in Chambers County, on what ls known as "The Bidge," Wallacevllle, Ac, the usual breadth has been planted in the silky staple, which ls doing well. "The Bidge," which Is some three miles in length, ls divided into good sized farms, and each planter has a por? tion of bis acres in sea Island. No worm bas yet appeared, and the prospect is fair fora good crop. At Virginia Point, Judge Jones, who may be regarded as the pioneer in the planting of the sea Island varieties on the shores of Galveston Bay, und who has made it a success, bas a breadth of about one hundred acres in, and a good stand. Two and a half miles north of the point, near Campbell's Bay? ou, lhere are about twenty acres and a good stand. Here no worm has yet put In an ap? pearance.- Flake's Bulletin June 13. The Gonzales Inquirer, says that the crop prospects are as flattering as could be desired, darring the slight damage sustained by a few farms from the grasshoppers and Ihe recent bail storm. The Austin State Journal hos been presented with a colton bloom. The season 11ms far has been more favorable to (be crops than ever before known in Texas. The Clarkville (Red Blver) Standard says that farmers are pressed to get their crops clean, but are working manfully and will soon be out. Corn and cotton are thrifty, and the real warmth of the summer having set in will fairly Jump now, unless there are excessive rains which would be out of season. The few wheat crops In the county are excellent. The Position of the English Spinnen. The United States Economist, (New York,) ofthe22d instant, says: "The attention of the cottoL trade, both in Europe and America, lajust no? directed to the growing crops in Ctib Southern States, with an Intensity of in? terest that was only paralleled during ihe cot? ton crisis induced by our civil war. The very large deficiency in the American cotton crop last year was not followed by any corresponding reduction In consumpi lon either io this country or in Europe, and neither the scarcity of the American staple or the comparatively high prices tbat have ruled for it during the last lew months produced any effect in stimulat? ing supplies trom other sources. The results are that at the present rate of consumption the supply of cotton from all quarters will only barely suffice until the new American crop becomes available. But even here there Is a difficulty; cotton spinners In Encland man? ifest a areal and increasing repugnance to the use ot East India cotton. Nearly four hundred thousand bales are now lying almost unsale? able lu Europe. The reluctance to nae it may be best illustrated by the fact that although American cotton ls now from seren lo ten cents per pound higher than it was last year nt this time, and although the stock is Deina rap dly reduced, yet the choicest kinds of East Indian is only 1 to 2c. per pound dearer, and sales for average qualities are difficult and scarce at lost year's rates; and this,'too, In view of a reduced supply this year from the East. On the 30lh ol May middling Or? leans was quoted in Liverpool at ll jd., while best Surat was only 5.?a6.id. per pound. The fact IB, nothing but a downright cotton famine can force East Indian Into general consump? tion. It certainly has nnt held its own with manufacturers during the last few yeara. Nor is thlB to be wondered at. The fibre as com? pared with the American staple ls In every way inferior. It is difficult to manufacture, the existing machines must be adapted to its use, ut considerable cost, and finally, the manufactured article is coarse and Inferior, and has neither the textile strength nor finish ot the American article. From these and other causes, the average consumption of East Indian colton is decreasing, while the con? sumpi ion of American and all oilier kinds is increasing. The high price of cotton during the lost few months hos produced a great de? pression In Manchester. Many spinners are manufacturing without profits, and a number have actually experienced a loss on their recent operations. The fact ls once more ap? parent that cotton cannot be profitably manu? factured In England when it advances above 9d. or lOd. sterling per pound. It has been above these figures for some lime, and the re? sult is a depression In the trade that begins lo excite serious misgivings, not only in Man? chester, but algo throughout England."
