From intelligent sources wo havo learned that with a good season.and good It?k to the Jast picking, bar Southern ': cotton orop of this your's planting will probably amount to 2,500,000 boles. Prom recent ad? vices, however, we are sorry to Bay th?t the prospect for a good general crop is not encouraging. The late floods in North and South Carolina have done considerable damage to the tender plant just making what they call "ix good stand." In Ihe next place, the planters, from North Carolina to , Texas, complain of the want of that careful ploughing, hoe? ing aud cleaning out of the woods which are indispensable to a vigorous growth of tho cottou, but which can? not be procured from the freedmen, who will not, even when most urgent? ly needed, do the day's work required; and, lastly, in the productive regions of the South-west wo aro told that the cotton fields uot drowned out by recent floods havo beor, eaten out by tho terrible army worm. Against all these drawbacks, if not largely ex? aggerated, wo must give up our cal? culations of a good Southern cotton crop this year; but still, with a fair margin for tho croakers, considering thc breadth of land planted, it will have proved a bad season indeed if it fails to give a return of less than 2,000,000 bales. \Xeio York Hernhl, IStJt. All that can be said about blood and gentle birth is said by Bishop Warburton, in theso words: "High birth is a thing that I never knew au}' one to disparage, except lum that had it not; and I uover knew anyone to make a boast of it who had anything else to bo proud of." This flue re? mark is said to have been occasioned by an angry dispute in the British House of Lords between a peer of a noble birth and one of a new creation.

NEGROES CAN'T HOLD OFFICE EVEN IN WASHINGTON.-Senator Sumner's bill "to secure equal rights in the District of Columbia," which passed both houses of Congress at tho recent session, failed to become a law through the refusal of-the Presi? dent' to sign it. This is another striking illustration of the love of our modern "Moses" for the colored people, and of his regard for their rights.- Washington Chronicle. FECUNDITY EXTRAORDINARY. -We clip the following item from the Jasper News Boy: We understand that the wife of our worthy colored citizen, Bill Hadnot, presented him with four children a few days ago, one weighiug 8 pounds, one 12, ono 13, one 15-iS pounds of babies at ono birth. In tho language of Bill, we say: "Beat dat, white man! If you can't, say no more about negro inferiority." The following was communicated to tho Society at Paris by Charles Caquolent: "Put a little sugar in common writing ink, and with this write on common writing paper, sized as usual. When a copy is re? quired, take some unsized paper and moisten it lightly with a sponge, and apply the wet paper to tho writing, aud pass lightly over thc unsized paper a moderately heated iron, and a copy is immediately produced." TnE COTTON CROP IN FLORIDA.-A letter from Gainesville, Florida, of a recout date, addrossed to a business firm of Savannah, says: "Tho rains are upon us, aud there is an universal cry of ruin to the cotton crop. There is also much apprehension of the appearance of the caterpillar or army worm." Tho entire track of tho Florida Railroad, from Savannah to Cedar Keys, is now laid. Tho trains now run to tho Fernandina Depot, or rather to tho spot whero the depot is to be erected, in the outskirts of tho town.

THE "Ladles' Society in uid of tho Suf? fering and Destitute l'oor of tho South" would respectfully and earnestly call the attention of tho generous Northern publie to the great distress and fearful suffering now prevailing in the Southern States. Letter? are daily received from the South, from tho Generals Commanding, Govern? ors, ministers and eminent citizens, fur? nishing the most heart-rending; details of tho actual want, famine and starvation in their immediate neighborhood. The fol? lowing few extracts from the very many letter? received by tho Secretary ?ud Ma? nagers of tho Socioty are respectfully re? ferred to: H'IX?CARTERS, 4TH MILITARY DIST., ( MISSISSIPPI AND ARKANSAS, ) VicKsnunu, Miss.. May 13, 1807. I am glad to seo thitt tho attention of tho gentle and humane ladies of the North is being turned towards thc ead and desolate condition of this once happy land. You, Madam, surrounded witli thc plenty ?md comforts of a wealthy eily, can scarcely appreciate the fact that, in many parts of UH; South, whole communities are, by a failure in crops and the absence of moiioy or its equivalent, left in want of the ncccs K'.vics of lifo; and that poor women, with largo families of helpless children, so ac enstomed to depend on the labor of other?, that now, with no husband, brother or s i v.mt t" help, and no money, they do not know what to du or where togo for food; but ar? left in the solitudes of tiiesc South . ri: :' irests, in rags and gaunt with hunger, subsisting on what the mother or larger childr? II i an .-lu.t>t or pick up in thc woutis, or on what thc few neighbors, nearly a? p lor as they are, can bring them. Officers of my acquaintance have met v. ?th Buch mothers, long alter dark, out in iii.' winnis, with an old gun just tired, and I tiie coon or possum just lulled; have gone homo with them and nu t the group of little starvelings waiting patiently mnther'8 re? turn with BOiuc or the only sort of food tin y had tasted for weeks; and women and children have be? 11 found within sixty miles of tin capital of a .Southern State, "during the past year, who had starved to death in their lonesome cabins. These ca^es of greal distress aro rare in Southern cities, i for : her", even thc most delicately brod can generally find some work which they can do to keep tb<! wolf from thc door; but the tarins or plantations in the South aro pe? culiarly secluded, with miles of forest or swamp between them, poor roads, and thc stock and animals nearly all taken by tho war, the famine, the doods, or tho thieves, who in such times iufest a country, and the distressed families are often, hy the timo necessity makes thom want to leave, too sick to travel on foot, and there is no other way to go. Your proposed entertainment, Madam, should it produce only funds enough to re ' licve a small fraction of the destitution of this country, will be a good beginning, and maybe followed in other cities North by similar appeals to pcoplo who have happily iver felt the desolation and the horror? which follow in the track? of great armies of invasion. God speed your society in tho food work, is the wish of, Madam", yours truly, E. O. C. ORD, Brevet Major-General. COLUMBIA, S. C., Mny 10, 1807. Permit md not only to give you the as? surance of my jMior help in this your gen? erous endeavor to relieve our impoverished ami unhappy people, but to express to you 111 their behalf, that gratitude which ia so eminently your due for the generous sym? pathy manifested by your organization for those among ua in distress. Wishing you God speed in your noble work, I am, Ma? dam, very respeetfullv, vour obedient ser? vant, * JAMES L. OUR, Governor South Carolina. II EADQUARTEBS, SECOND MILITARY DIVISION, CHARLESTON, 8. C., May 13, 1807. The excellent purpose you have in viow cannot be too much commended. The lib? erality of the Government of tho United States, and the munificent contributions already made for the relief of the wide? spread destitution in tho States, leaves great number? unprovided with food and clothing. And until an abundant harvest enable? tho people hero to do moto for themselves, I trust the ever generous and ' prosp?rons committees of tho North will I continue their noble gifts to this impover I ished and afiiictod population. With my j best wishes for the success of your under ? taking, I remain, Madam, very respectful? ly. DANIEL E. SICKLES, Commanding Second Military District. HEADQUAIITEBS, FIRST MILITARY DIVISION, RICHMOND, VA., May ll, 1867. Mt's. Ifarlowe Maliter-MY DEAR MADAM: I shall bo too glad if anything I can say will aid tho society in it? noble work. A large proportion of tho people of tho South have suffered and many are still suffering almost to thc limit of endurance from tho devastation of war and subsequent failure of crops. They aro making every possible exertion to revive their various branchos of industry and becomo self-supporting. Thc liberal assistance which tho Northern people are well able to give, will relieve a great amount of distress, and will no doubt be sufficient to place tho poor of the South beyond further suffering for food. The recent manifestations of an almost univer? sal desire throughout tho South for a really fraternal re-uniou with tho North, may well servo to stimulate the g?nerons sympathies of tho Northern people, while nothing could do moro to foster and encourage tho growth of a healthy sentiment in tho South than tho generous aid which it is the mission of your society to invoke. I sincerely hope the noble efforts of the society may result in the most abundant success. I am, dear Madam, verv respectfnllv, vour obedient servant, J.'M. SCHOFIELD, Maj. Gea. GREENSBORO, May ll, 1807. Have just returned from a tour through the section made memorable by "Slier man's march to tho seaboard."
