Moore, Abbeville C. H. ^bdhn^Poprje^An^ers^n^^I^^^^^^^^ Thc Coming Cotton Crop. Much has been said and -written respecting the amount of cotton that would bo produced in the United States the present year. Some writers have put it as high as two-thirds of a crop, while others have contented themselves with half a crop. Our estimate is 1,200,000 to 1,500,000 bales-what we term a little over the fourth of a crop-the fourth of the crop of 1801, which we set down at 4,800,000 bales. This is a high-figure, and may possibly be a little over the mark. In proof o? the correctness of our estimate, we will state a few incon? testable facts. Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, West Tennessee and Alabama have been the great cotton producing regions. They have been relied on for over three millions of the crop. What is their condition now ? In the rich and productive territories of Louisiana, Mississippi, West Ten? nessee and the valley of the Tennes? see in North Alabama, what of African labor was left by the Federal army is completely demoralized, and is com? posed of the old and infirm, the women and children. The larger half of the labor that cultivated the crop of 1860-'61 are absent. Some are dead, some are in the army, and many have congregated in the towns and cities, seeking employment more agreeable to them than field labor. In South Alabama it is thought African labor is in better trim. There the absent from field labor are not so numerous, but from the best informa? tion we can gather from the produc? tive sections of South Alabama, Afri? can labor is much demoralized, and those who have contracted for planta? tion service cannot be relied upon for more than half of the service they did perform while in slavery. Even there one-fourth to one-third of the labor? ers are absent from plantation service. In Georgia, we are satisfied not more than the third of the crop of 18G1 can be relied on. Planters will make an effort, and possibly a large surface will be planted with cotton, but we believe the labor cannot be relied on in the crisis of the crop, and as a consequence grass will become master of the situation, and much will have to be abandoned. In South Carolina, as also in Geor? gia, the valuable sea island lands are in possession of the negroes, and but little can be expected from that quar? ter. In the interior of South Caro? lina, African labor has been greatly demoralized by the presence of negro troops, so much so that but little labor will be got out of those even who contract, and but little cotton can be looked for from that State. These are facts well known to all who are acquainted with the condi? tion in which the war had left tho cotton region, and the disposition of the negro as a reliable laborer under the present system. We have been induced to write this article from having seen nume? rous speculative opinions sent abroad by correspondents and commercial firms whose opinions heretofore were entitled to credit, but whose present want of knowledge of the "situation" totally unfits them to be reliable ad? visers. When the planter could con? trol the labor at command, he knew precisely how many acres of land he could plant and scccessfully cultivate, and it was an easy matter to estimate from former data-the seasons being equal-within a f>w thousand bales of the amonnt o? cotton that would be produced. Such is not the case under the changed labor system. We are satis? fied that not only the prospective,crop lias been largely over-estimated, but that thc stock of old cotton on hand in this country has also been over? estimated. These are matters of se? rious import to our people in a pecu? niary point. Ever since the erroneous estimates have been going forward, cotton has manifested a downward tendency abroad, and many on this side of the water have sustained he!? ,'y losses. We do not charge v.uy one with having intentionally misrepre? sented in this matter-we have more charity for them. But we do charge them with ignorance of thc true state of tho situation. [Columbus < Ou.) Sun. THE RICHMOND SPECIE.-At the time of the evacuation of Richmond, the banking establishments of that city continued to send away the amount of coin belonging to the differ? ent institutions to a point further South for the purpose of securing i+. Tho amount nrigrinally reached the sum of $250,000,?of which ?150,000 ?was lost by plunder, and the remain? der placed on deposit at Washington, Georgia, in charge of a special ugent of the Richmond banks, who, owing to the unsettled condition of affairs, was unable to get back to Richmond, and was therefore compelled to remain there for some time. While this coin was at Washington, Georgia, claim was made to it by General Wild, of the Freedmen's Bureau, on the ground that it was captured property, and an investi? gation of the case by General Wins? low resulted in giving the right of possession to the agent of the banks. Afterward, about the 20th of August last, an order from the President, through the Secretary of War, was received by General Steedman, then commandiug the department, to turn over the captured coin on deposit to a Treasury agent. This was done, and the coin sent to this city, when it I was placed on special deposit with I the Treasurer of the United States. Claim is now made on behalf of the Richmond banks for the restoration of this money, and it is alleged that that the order of the President was made without full and careful inform? ation of the facts in the case. After a full and careful examination by the Treasury Department, the matter has been referred to the President, who has ordered that the coin be restored, provided the iden? tity between the amount now on de? posit in the Treasury and that claimed by the banks can be established, and a compliance made with certain formal conditions required by the Secretary of the Treasury. MK. SEWAED'S ORGAN ON FRANCE. As to the Emperor Napoleon's pro? mise to withdraw this army, we have seen no reason whatever to doubt its execution in due season. On the con? trary, there are the best of reasons to believe its fulfilment, and that before the close of the current year. [New York Times.
