Whutuver doubt und apprehension
may be felt throughout thc cotton
States, so-called, in regar? lo tho
prospects of tho great staplo, there
are tho most abundant evidences that
the product of breadstuff* will be
more than adequate to tho sustenance
of the whole people of this section.
The yield of wheat, corn and other
?mall grains has never been grouter
iu the South than it will be this sea?
son, and this is especially true of the
middle Southern States. From all
we learn from Maryland, Virginia,
this State and North Carolina, as well
as in Georgia, Tennessee and tho
Northern section of Mississippi, the
yield of the grains, as a whole, bas
been enormous. It is pleasant, more?
over, to observo that thero bus been
no difficulty in cultivating and ga?
thering the crops already matured,
the freedmen working well and sys?
tematically. Wo belicvo this will
also be the caso in tho gathering of
the corn crop, and that the Southern
granaries will be amply furnished
this year with a sufficient supply both
lor man and beast.
What a blessing this, after two
years of deprivation, nearly border?
ing on famine! Tho old but now
dethroned king has become a se?
condary agricultural consideration,
and wo think, on the whole, that it is
well it is so. Cotton, it is true,
realizes money-is its representative
in every commercial mart in the
world-but tho last few years expe?
rience has taught us that, although il
may bring greenbacks or specie into
the pockets of the individual planter,
with all its advantages, 2,500 bale:
were not sufficient to feed a popula
tion bordering on starvation. Th ii
year there will be no such apprehen
sion. Enough breadstuffs have beer
made to feed all in the South
ern States, and their people, thu:
strengthened, will go forward in tb?
work of recovering their past pros
pority with an energy unknown t<
them for some years past. Want
deprivation and short commons an
euough to depress any people, how
ever brave, and render them unfit fo
manly action. Let us hopo that tb
cloud has passed away, and that tb
regenerating energies of the peopl*
will bo brought into full play an<
action.

The intelligence from Europe ic
forms us that tho rains thus far i
Great Britain, in the early part c
this mouth, havo been _ unusuall
heavy. The rain-storm which passe<
over this section of tho country la?
week, cxtendod North as far as Philr
delphia, and have boen very destruct
ive. Tho New York Herald, of St
tnrduy, says:
Tho rain-storm which visited th
city on Thursday prevailed also wit
much violence throughout other par
of tho country. No damage in tl
city was sustained beyond that occi
sioned by tho flooding of numerot
basements in tho lower part of tl
city and tho swamps in Harlem; ht
at Hoboken and Jersey City the di
mago was considerable. Tho Waal
ington and Baltimore railway traci
were submerged, aud trains due :
Jersey City wero delayed for son
time, and at Hoboken the flats we:
completely inundated. In Philadc
pbia, immense damage was coinmi
ted, involving a loss of $100,00
The storm is said to have been tl
most violent one that ever visited th
locality. In Baltimore, tho stree
wore Hooded, and thu only mode
locomotion wu? in small boats. Ti
factories adjacent to tho city we
much damaged, aud travel on all tl
railroads was suspended. The repor
from Richmond, Augusta, Wash in
ton, Boston and elsewhere tell tl
same story. At last accounts, tl
rain bad ceased iu Philadelphia ai
Baltimore. Tho unprecedented fi
of rain this summer is attributed 1
scientific mon to the influence of tl
meteors last November.
Tho Baltimore Sun, of Saturda
says:
Tho great rain-storm which set
here on Wednesday oveniug, ai
which had not entirely ceased lr
evening-some rain being still fa
ing-has extended ever a wide ari
and done much damage along watt
courses and in depressed localitit
both in town and country. T
amouut of water which fell waa pi
bably nover exceeded in this secti
in tho samo longtb of time. The <
tails of tho damago sustained by t
great pour-down, which was especia
heavy during most of Thursday nigl
are given by our local r^norts, c
rcspondence and despatches.
" The Chr??lelB^?TT?5r?r???{.
The Wushiugton Chronicle tims
comments on Gen. Grant's accept?
ance of tho linties of the War De?
partment:, 'vi I 1
"Gen. Grant's first day's adminis
tratioa of the War Office has riot been
ohararfteriaed with any startling de?
velopments, nor was there the occur?
rence of anything beyond the ordi?
nary business of the department. He
nttended the regular Cabinet meeting
held yesterday at noon, and subse?
quently established bis permanent
office during the administration of his
ad inlei-im Secretaryship in the rooms
formerly occupied by Mr. Stanton.
The routine of the headquarters of
the armies will be transacted as usual
by Maj. Leet, A. A. G., and Gen.
Townsend will retain supervision
over that class of business in the
War Department; but all questions
of importance arising in either office
will bo referred to tho General in
poison for bis action. In this con?
nection, it will be interesting to know
that Gen. Grant looks upon his a.
8ignment to the War Department by
the President in the light of a mili?
tary order, which he bad no right to
decline obeying, nor even the right
to protest against. He and Mr.
Stanton have fully understood each
other from the first development of
tho attempt to oust the latter from
office, and it is understood that in
their conferences regarding the mat?
ter, they discussed at length the in?
fluence of tho acceptance of the
assignment on Grant's political status,
as well as tho well known efforts of
certain parties to identify him with
the policy of tuc Administration."
If Gen. Grant was so prompt in
obeying what he deemed n "military
order, which be had no right to do
clinc obeying, nor even the right to
protest against," it is evident that
any other order emanating from his
chief will also bo strictly obeyed.
This appointment of Gen. Grant,
and his acceptance ot the position
assigned him, has produced great
uneasiness among the ultras, while to
the whole conservative element of the
country it has given infinite relief.
Another significant indication is, that
as a member of the Cabinet, it is pre?
sumable that he sanctioned the re?
moval of Gen. Sheridan, and thus
has again upset the calculations of
the mere partisan radicals-not the
Republican party. Though late,
there is still some hope left for tho
country.
THE ENGLISH REFORM BILL-.-The
English reform bill has received tho
assent of thc Queen, and is now the
law of thc land. Thus the masses of
the English people see themselves,
for the first time in tho history of
their country, endowed with the
right of suffrago, and admitted to a
great share in Parliamentary Go?
vernment. The result of the next
election will be looked forward to
with intense interest.
REGISTRATION IN VIRGINIA.-The
official returns of registration from
Virginia, although not yet complete,
give already a majority of white over
negro voters of nearly 20,000. In
view of this, tho Virginia papers are
urging registration. It is estimate'!
that tho whites exceed the blacks by
about 50,000, of which they reckon
that 15,000 would be a large number
to be deducted ns disfranchised, leav?
ing a majority of about 35,000, if all
register who can do so.

Cori-eupontle tice of the Pheottlx.
NEW YORK, August 1O807.
Bainy days in Gotham ure, if possi?
ble, more tediously monotonous than
in less densely packed localities. It
ia plBfoeant to look out on thc coun?
try #>nes, and sec the thirsty vege?
tation drink the bounties of Pluvius;
but to look out here on the dirty
8tieetsr and ?ce and hear nothing
but bustling throngs aud rattling
cars and carts, ia an infliction that is
grievous to bear. So, to compound
the infliction, I will inflict your read?
ers with a column of raiu}' day gos?
sip; provided, of course, you consent
to administer the dose.
The complaint of dullness in trade
circles is general, and but for the
abundance and cheapness of money,
which may be bad at three to fivo
per cent., would have, ero this, culmi?
nated in serious failures. A few have
occurred, but the cheerful crop pros?
pects reported from oil sections are
confirming a sense of hopefulness in
the future, and the panic-mongers
arc more reticent thau usual. Mer?
chants from the South and West are
beginning to arrive, but they all
seem disposed to buy sparingly and
"keep near the shore," until finan?
cial and political affairs aro more de?
finitely settled. Prices are firm, with
an upward tendency in some grades
of cotton goods, aud there is no
reason to expect any speedy decline.
Newspaper circles here aro busy
with speculation as to tho result of
the withdrawal of the Herald fron'
the Associated Press. It is stated
that a new association bas been form?
ed, with very thorough und completo
facilities, and will soon invite the
press of tho country to unite in an
association where all will bo ou a
perfectly equal footing, and where
the news will not bo peddled out to
private parties in advance of its deli?
very to the press.
In politics, there bas been a signi?
ficant lull during the week-tho re?
moval of Stanton and appointment
of Grant evidently taking the ultra
radicals by sn prise. They have been
so long tryiug to use Grant's prestige
to advance their ends, that they hesi?
tate about making war upon bim.
A few provincial journals promptly
opened tb'?r batteries on him, and
yesterday the Tribune assailed bim
with a number of interrogatories,
asking where he has ever signified
any disapprobation of any acts of the
President, and pointing to his tour
South, at tho time Schurz was sent
out to manufacture a report on
Southern outrages, as evidence of his
hostility to the policy of Congress.
His trip with Johnson "round the
circle," last year, and his presence at
his side when executive "tears flow?
ed at the time of tho Philadelphia
Convention," are also referred to aa
evidence that Grant and the Presi?
dent have been working together tc
enclose tho radicals. And it is pretty
evident that there is forco in thc
lachrymose lamentations of "H. G."
The Times and Herald arc delighted
with Grant's appointment, aud it is,
of course, gratifying to the WurU
and Express. The Post is mum af
an oyster.
The radicals have evidently reached
a culminating point in their career ol
recklessness. Not one in ten, ever
of tho so-called leaders of the party
pretends to defend the polic3- of whih
disfranchisement, which places tin
excluded States in the control of th
negroes. They see in it nothing bu
danger to society-danger to trade
danger to all the best interests of th
whole counhy; and their sole pretext
that it was necessary to keep th
South from passing into the contre
of rebel influence, is revolting am
odious, because it is known tobo onl;
another ni me for a device to carr
tho Presidential election. While th
popular ruind, North and Fast
where I h we had a good opportunit;
for personal observation-does no
approve the radical policy, I have me
few who think the South can gai
anything by resisting or opposing th
military bill. Let the folly of thoa
who enacted it culminate in tempe
rary triumph, and it will only th
more surely cement the conservativ
element of the country, whilo fae
tious opposition serves to array th
races in antagonism at tho South, an
to hold tho discordant elements c
radicalism together at the North. Bi
a truco to politics.
Tho fashionables are luxuriating ii
Saratoga, up the Hudson, and alon
shore, und tho phases of fast life her
are rather tame. I learn that til
fashionable resorts aro so much m<
nopolized by pinchbeck aristocrac
and shoddyites, whioh have grown u
under tho speculations incident t
the war, that the moro substantii
people shrink in disgust from tl
watering-places, and seek homes f<
tho summer in tho quiet towns an
hamlets of tho interior.
The races ut Saratoga and Niagai
have attracted crowds to those poinl
during tho last few days; and I ol
servo that Dexter has ju. * eclipse
himself at the lutter place, making
milo in 2.17,'.L. Whereupon Bonne
of tho Ledger, who has a weakne
for fast horses, bought tho champio
of tho American turf for $50,001
Ho announces the purchase as fe
lows :
"BLITALO, Augu-st l l, 18G7.-I sa
Niagara Falls this morning for tl
first time, and carno down here this
afternoon to see the other great won?
der (Dexter) trot, when lie bent tbe
world; having trotted in tbe unpre?
cedented time of 2>ni?. You know
I like to secure the best things, and
OB I could not buy the Fal?fc I_did
the next best thing, and bou^
ter. Ho will go to my stu
month."
The taste for sensational pastimes
is evidently on tho increase, and the
stamp of fashionable approval gives
eclat to the most demoralizing specta?
cles. Thc Black Crook draws crowds
of respectable people at Niblo's,
where, a few years ago, no decent
woman could havo boen induced to
witness it. I well remember how the
prudish sensibilities of these same
Gotharaites was shocked at the nude
statues in the Crystal Palace, when
that exhibition opened, and their
modest qualms could only be coothed
by Evo's devico of the fig leaves!
Now they seem to havo adopted the
sentiment that "beauty unadorned is
most adorned, " and nothing short of
the Georgia costume meets the full
measure of wanton curiosity. This
is the refined phase of the sensa?
tional appetite. The other extremo
finds congenial scope in tho nameless
and shameless dance houses; dog
tights and fistic encounters are low
phases of the same school of sensa?
tional indulgence, and are of almost
daily occurrence. Where this style
nf diversion will end, or what effect
it will havo on the public morals, I
leavo for the humanitarians to deter?
mine.
Sitting here, "utcase, in mine inn,"
it occurs to me that I cannot do your
readers, who may havo occasion to
visit this city, a more substantial ser?
vice, thau to offer them a few hints
about tho choice of a hotel. Thcro
is a prevalent curiosity, and a sort of
small vanity, which leads ono to go to
some of the fashionable hotels, where
he may go to his room on a steam
elevator, and pick his teeth beforo
large mirroi-s iu the great marble cor?
ridors. Thoso who do not care to in?
dulge those innocent follies, will find
solid comfort and convenience, as
well as economy, iu stopping at some
good houso on tho European plan.
Ono that I cnn recommend as em?
bracing this desideratum is French's,
from which I write. It has been re?
cently re-furnished, in elegant style,
and rooms, with gas, and hot and
cold water, and the most attentive
servants, may be had. at $1 a day,
while for a like sum, meals may bo
had at the refectory, which is one of
the best in the city. The rooms have
burglar-proof locks, a security against
theft which is more perfect than any
I have ever seen. Reading-rooms,
with files of the leading papers; a
writing-room, and elegant sitting
rooms, are open to the use of guests;
anda magnificent billiard-hall is at?
tached to the house. The location is
central, near tho City Hall, and the
street cars pass by the door for nearly
all parts of Ihn city. I cannot better
close this prosy scrawl than to advise
you or your readers, when you como
to this busy Babel, tb stop at French's
PALMETTO.
