CROPS IN THE STATE. The following letters concerning the present condition of the growing crops lu this State, have been furnished THE NEWS by factors of this city : SOUTER COUNTY, August 22. The cotton crop will be short lu Sumter County, not equal to last year. The cutir? crop, 3,500,000 bales may be reached, but I think ibese figures will have to be lowered. Every boll will be open on some fields by the 1st September, and I think tue crop can be fithered by October 1st, in Sumter county. UBt the cause. CLARENDON, August 19. It is almost guess work to make a probable estimate of the cotton crop about herc, but so far as I can conclude from observai ion and expressions o? planters lt is very conclusive that the yield will not be much larger than last year. More cotton will be upon the mar? ket by the 15th ot October lrom this Beetloo thart,last year, owing to the use of fertilizers and better cultivation. Reports from the County Press. The Cheraw Democrat says: "Sunday after? noon last this seo ion of the county was visited by a good rain. Al that time ihe crops were beginning to suffer drought. We learu from some of the most experienced und Intelligent farmers In the county that ID consequence of rust, drought, ?c., the prospect for a large yield ol colton ls not so good by fifty per cent, now, as lt was on ihe 20th of July last." The Cheraw Democrat has seen some colton known as the San tee Black Jack or Sea Island, grown by Mr. H. Farrelly, of that town. The weed ls tall, branches weil and seems to be in better hearing condition than the upland variety growing close by, with no loss by the shedding of bolls or forms. It seems to be bearing a larger amount ot colton than the up? land, and Mr. F. thinks will make a finer Btaple. The Laurens ville Herald say?: "Tho late heavy raina which fell on last Thursday utter noon and night, ami on Friday morning, did great damage to the corn upon bottom ianda, and In wrecking and washing away bridges on the different streams. Several mills and mill-dams were more or less injured. We have beared ol one or two entirely destroyed, though we have not heard the full ext-nt ot the destruction. A large amount of corn has been entirely destroyed, several farmers losing each from eight hundred to one thousand bushels. It is said that some ol the streams of the county were as high In the recent freshet as that of August, 1852. We have heard of no other serious damage to the crops than that mentioned." The Union Times says: "On Thursday even? ing last a heavy rain set in at this place and ooQtioued with great violence until Friday coon. We learn that it did great damage to the oom on the creek bottoms. In many ol these bottoms the corn was completely de? stroyed. The dams at Beaty's and Munro's mills were washed away. Mr. Beaty bad Just completed repairing bis dam which was badly injured a lew weeks ago. Weare never dis? posed to over-esllmate a growing crop, but we rtpuest), believe, lrom what we see and hear, thai the present cotton crop of Union promises to be almost equal to that of 1870, while the corn crop is much belter. As a friend said lo us last week, 'ia many places the corn ls as Koori as it is possible for the land to make it ' If nothing further occurs lo damage the crops, it ls believed that Union County will be in a better condi t ion, tl naneial ly, than aha h na been, lo r man j.- yaara." ? .. - ? f* JOTTINGS ABOUT THE STATE. -The Union Times is offered for sale. -Dr. William Book, an eminent physician and valued citizen of Laurens County, died on Tuesday last. -The tobacco lac tory at Walhalla has proved a decided success.

H ir? ci*-How a Na? tional Bank was Swindled by ita Bookkeeper. The New York World gives the following concerning the recently discovered d?falca? tion of George Kingsland in that cit \ : The defalcation of George Kingsland, a bookkeeper in ihe Hudson County" National Bank, though for a few days known to several persons, was, until Wednesday, kept quiet, at the desire of the bank authorities, In order to enable them to make a complete investigation and lake tho necessary steps to secure them? selves. The defaulting clerk ls In Europe, having sailed on July 10th, it is believed, how? ever, with the intention of returning, and he may even now be on his way back. He was a man believed to be o? high character, and wae granted leave of absence because of ill-hea.it h. He had lost lu rapid succession lour children, and was believed to be suffering lrom this and his own ill-healtb. He is the son ot E. W. Kingsland, for a long lime treasurer of Hudson County, and one ot the wardens of St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal Church. In granting bim leave of aosence, the bank presented'him with two hundred dollars and continued his salary while away. He sailed in company with his wile and the pastor ol his church; and. as lils accounts Were left in such a condition that under any ordinary circumstances his defalcation would not have been discovered, lt is more (han probable! that he will return. The president o? the bank, after Kingsland had sailed, h id bis attention attracted to a .rumor that he had been loading a rather fast life. This led him IQ institute a searching examination into the missing man's accounts, which were, how? ever, properly balanced and almost baffled investigation. Subsequent developments showed that the bank had lost, probably, be? tween 2 flee ri and twenty thousand dollars, though errors amoiinilng to only seven thousand five hundred dollars had been traced to him. It seems that he had beer highly trusted, and had taken the receiving teller:s place whenever that gentleman war absent or late. He would lake deposits, en t-i them upon the individual books and upon bil ledger, so tbat they showed correctly, bul never made ?utries ol the moneys taken upoc the cash bo jk. By operating lu this way ht could go or with impunity until some seule? ment should be made wlih some one ol tin depositors whose deposit he had failed to en? ter, when the balancing o? their account: would be likely to show the delalcation. Tc guard as far as possible against this, he had tampered with only anout half a dozen ac? counts, and had selected the ones which wer? most likely to run long ana steadily. Arnon; the number was that ot his own father, o all moneys taken he kept memoranda, so thai in striking each month's balance he knew how much had been taken from each deposi tor, and could easily force a balance by debit? ing up to the amount. By this method even r close Investigation would fail to reveal ilu fact that the books were falsely balanced The unexpected discovery of this crime anc of his previous mode of life, which must havt been unsuspected even by his wife, has prove?1 a terrible blow to his family and friends. - THE RAIN OF MILLIARDS. TBE ULTIMATE EFFECT OF TflE GREAT FRENCU LOAN. The Thunderer's View of the Case-An Era of Inflation at Hanrf, to End In the Financial Collapse "Due" In 1875. [City Article of the London Times, August 10.] The partially fictitious excitement from the enormous disproportion of the applications for the French loan lottie amount to be allotud having subsided, attention will be given to ihe question of the permanent consequence of the operation. Some weeks ago lt was pointed out that they are likely to pfove en? tirely different from lho3e expected by the public, and that the loan, instead of being a cause of future distrust on ibe money market, would moBt probably lead te an unprecedent? ed degree of the inflation, whence the periodical crash due in 1875 or 1876 will, perhaps, be found in a great measure to date Hs origin. The transaction simply consists in the creation of new nego? tiable property to the extent of ?120,000.000, which will cause a proportionate increase to the sense of power and wealth already enjoyed. In the first instance it passes to the hands of Germany, but lt must lrom that country gradually find ils way throughout the world. France makes the payment without practically, for the moment, becoming poorer; but Ger? many, the receiver, becomes ?120,000,000 rlcner. France creates ihe means Dy a pledge ot about seven or eight millions sterling per annum of her luture revenues. No one In that country will have any immediate sense of injury from the payment. If a man brings out a reserve of gold, or If ho parts with some already existing iuvestment lor the purpose ot subscribing, he does nol feel htmselt poorer when he receives his allotment ol' the new loun In return, bur, on the contrary, is pleased with the cnange, which he would not have voluntarily madn had he not regarded lt ns advaniaaeous. If lils gold, which had been previously hoarded, be paid to the Germans, or if Hie securities be has parted with find their way to London or elsewhere to procure gold or bills for the purpose, the Germans come into so much extra wealth, with which they must do something. They may lock up some ot it, and mus deprive them? selves of any benefit except such as indirectly arisen lrom the reputation ot being poesepsed of reserved means, but lhere is no reason to suppose that any large appropriation is likely to be made io this thriftless way, or lhat such amount, whatever lt may be, will approach that which has been drawn out from French hoards. There is a probability, however, that a good sum may be employed iu paying off the publie debt9 of Germany, and, should this be ihe ease, it will, so fair as lt may cause Ute cuucelmeni of existing negotiable securities, neutralize ihe effect ol Hie French loan, since lo thal extent the transaction will represeni but u creation of French stocks on tue one hand, and an extinction ot German stocks on tho other. Until lt be known how much will thus be appropriated, no definite anticipations cuu be formed of tue en uro effects of Hie operation. But, in any case, there must he a large available balance, and whether tins be employed in public works, in deposits with foreign banks at interest, or in investments in foreign securities, such as United Stateal or other bonds, or lu the shares ol public com? panies, the result must be the same, namely : ihe generaladvauce in prices. Of course, the effect ot an addition Ol 120,000.000 sterling to thu negotiable securities of Europe ls not equal to that which would be produced by the Issue ot a similar amount of nciual currency, bul it causes to Its lull extent an Increase of credit power. Doubtless In some cases an issue ot new securities might occur with? out any appreciable result, a?, lor In? stance, wueu it depreciates the credit of the lsBiier so as to cause a heavy fall in the value oi previous Issues, bu:, lu the case of the French loan the influence had been entirely In the opposite way. History furnishes simi? lar examples in alt directions. England, Hol? land and Hie United States, especially the lat? te*, are powers that can trace their rise as financial giants solely from the date of their dormant national credit being put Into an active form. America, until she had an enor? mous debt, ol'her own, was accustomed to pre? dict that the national debt of England must ultimately cause our ruin, but she has since seen, under a similar burden, u marvellous in? crease ol' financial animation, lt ls true thai the greater part of the stock creations ol En? gland, Holland and the United states went to enrich home contractors and employees of all sorts, and thal but a small proporiiou ot the French loan has gone In this way, so that it ls lrom Germany and not from France that ibe Inflation must now chiefly arise. Already lhere are symptoms of this in Berlin, and the movement started there win gradually extend to all other markets. While the payments between France and Uermtiny are In progress lhere may be an occasional temporary pertur-1 batlon, bul ibe experience ot those hitherto ? effected, and also ol' the manner In which the recent loan subscriptions have been managed, 1 shows it ow cagily ihe great exchance opera? tions of Hie world mary be carried" through when C' m tided to efficient hands. As regards our own position, we know that neither Ger? many nor any other country can drain from us anything beyond what we ow? them, and that, consequently, unless we are Imprudent enough lo use such German deposits as may from lime to time come to our custody as ll' they were our own permanent property, lt will be a matter of entire unconcern io us, as an individual na? ilon, whether Germany suddenly resolves to absorb specie, or lo distribute it. That she will under any circumstances have a vast amount to invest cannot be doubled, and lt ls equally certain lhat tbe effect upon prices will be in proportion to such investments. It she binn Austrian, American, or other stocks, those who sell her those stocks must put their money Into something else; if she constructs arsenals,ships or other nat ional works.she mun disburse In wages fad material sums that will find their way to contractors, and lrom them to the various bourses. In the question how to dispose of her sudden accession of wealth so as ultimately not to do more harm than good, she bas. perhaps, to encounter the most difficult problem that could be presented. The only thing at present certain is that a period of Intlailon must be anticipated,and that when this in ll ul on shall In the course of a lew years have readied its height some of those -?unexpected" circumstances for which we are never prepared, although they arc to be looked fur with more posit 1 veness than any? thing else lu the world, whether it be a bad harvest, a war of revenge, or any analogous catastrophe, will lead to the usual collapse, IQ which people will Insist upon considering the best securities tn be worin nothing, and every man will sympathize with hip neighbor in be? lieving himself lo be beggared.

I -The returns thus far from the West Vir i ginla election indicate Hie election of Jacob 1 (Independent.) as Governor. Party lines wer? not strictly drawn. TBE BRUISERS' FIASCO. The Prize Fight Ended Without a Be ginning. The rendezvous of the prize fighters, Mace and O'Baldwin, with their friends, at Colliers, West Virgiuia, on Wednesday, and the flare ont of the fight have been briefly announced by telegraph. A correspondent, who accom? panied the parly, writes: There were present in the party O'Baldwin and Ids sec? mis, Tom Kelly and Johnny Dwyer, and James Griffin, ol Boston; John Ohearn, ol Philadelphia, and a numt *r of less prominent sporting men, accota; uled by Mace and his seconds and traine* Barney Aaron and Dooney Harri*, together with Poo? ley Mace. Joe Coburn, Nick Langan, Jim Co? burn. Joe Kaiser, Billy Tracey, Harry Hillend a number of others. Most of the crowd carried pistols and revolves in the pis? tol-pockets of their pauls, and lt needed only an ugly word or a blow to pro? duce a stack of weapons. There was a gang from Washineton called the "Blood Tubs;" thea there were the "Plug Uglies," "Rip Raps," and the "Mash Market Gang," from Baltimore, while all the professional thieves irom Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinna? ti. Pittsburg, Ballimore, Philadelphia, New York, Buffalo and Boston were present, busily plying their trade. Mace entered the ring at twenty minutes past six P. M. He won the toss fur posltioo, and selected ihe northeast corner of the ring. O'Baldwin wore green curlers and green silk handkerchief. Mace's colors were blue and white. There was con? siderable difficulty In selecting a referee. John I Leary und Henry Hughes were selected by either party, but neither selection was accepta? ble. Barney Aaron and Dooney Harris second? ed Mace, and Tom Kelly and Johnny Dwyer O'Baldwin. the formerof whom remarked that O'Baldwin was not ool y fighting for the stakes, but the championship ot' the world. After a long discussion, when darkness was ap? proaching, O'Baldwin came to the centre of the rlog and expressed himself ready and anxious to fight without a referee. At this juncture Mace stood up and said: "I have come here lo have a fair fight, and I only want a fair fight, as lt ls my last, fight, as I am gettlog old and want, to retire from the ring.'* O'Baldwin then rose and said be likewise only wanted lair play, a profession which Mace said he readily believed. Argument alter argument ensued. Joe Coburn said that O'Baldwin had selected Hughes and Mace John Leary, and that be was willing to let the men name the referee. This did not set? tle the difficulty, and still the crowd stood perspiring and cursing. At length darkness came on and settled lu the damp valley, and the ropes were torn down and the fight ended. The men afterward proceeded to Steubenvllle. THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT. The lollowlng directory of ihe Health De? partment has been prepared by Dr. George S.
