Tho Cotton Crop ot Last Year.
We have, publish ed several articles
in relation to the extent of the cotton
crop of 1866-67; but wo And in the
New York Commercial Chronicle a
much more, (apparently at least,)
correct estimate of tho number of
bales produced last year, and of the
movements ol the staple, than any
* wo have yet seen published.
According to the Chronicle, the re?
ceipts this year aro very .nearly as
much as that of last year, being
2,019,271 bales, against 2,193.987
bales in the previous twelve months,
which shows the small decrease oi
174,716 bales in the produce of the
year, ending August 31, 1867. From
this aggregate of produce must be
deducted that portion of the old
crop, brought forward at tho dose of
1865 and 1866-say. 300,000 bales
which leaves 1,700,000 bales of the
whole production of last year. The
stock in the interior at this time is
unusually small, and the receipts of
cotton during the next twelve months
must be looked for from the new
crop. The total cotton export from
the United States, for 1866-67 wac
I, 052,311 bales, against 1,552,457
bales in 1866, and (taking no note ol
the four years during the war,) 3,727
in 1861. So the present is about
' one-half of the former cotton export.
The largest cotton crop of the
South was in 1859-60, amounting tc
4,669,770 bales. It was 3,656,096 ii
,1860-61. Of the crop during th<
war, only an estimate can be made
some authorities at.3,300,000 balei
during the four years; others as higl
as 7,600,000 bales. In the first yea:
after the war, it was 2,193,987 bales
and this year it is very little less.
Of the crop of 1866-67, more thai
three-fonrths we're exported, leavin(
466,965 bales for home consumption
Add to this what was on hand, thor
are 586,307 bales of cotton in th
Northern States for the year-.
Northern consumption of abou
II, 000 bales a week. As the larges
crop was in 1859-60, (4,669,700 bales,
so the greatest home consumptioi
(972,043 bales) also was in that yent
Tho home consumption in 1860-6
was 843,740 bales. There is no exac
record for 1860-65, but 661.292 bale
were consumed in the Norther
States in 1865-66, and 656,307 i
1866-67. There canrot be such
great home consumption in the con
ing year, nnless the Northern manv.
faoturer8 import cotton, which wo
actually done last year, though not t
any great extent.
We condense these facts and figur<
chiefly for the information and ben?
fit of our commercial friends, wh
deal with the planter in their chit
staple. But they would also pro>
profitable reading to the plante:
themselves, as they embrace, in coe
paratively a few Hues, statistics i
the leading article of their product
which would cover several oolnmi
of unintelligible figures. We ho]
that in doing so, we are giving in tl
Phcenix that diversity and variety
topics, embracing Bolid instructu
and valuable information, which mu
make it an acceptable journal to t
olasses, representing the various int
rests of our State.
'THE COMPROMISE.-The Now Yo
Herald, itself, discredits the sent
tions^ story telegraphed to it frc
Washington, about an anticip?t
ef#>rt on the part of Congress to hi
nsonize matters with the President
~ t
/ WILJL. RESIST.-The Woshingt
' correspondent of the Charleston Ci
vier, (said to be high in the con
dence of the President,) writes tl
Mr. Johnson has certainly declat
to several public men, that if Cc
gress attempt to remove him fr<
office, pending impeachment, he v
resist.
Ono of the historic curiosities
the Park of Compiegne is about
disappear. The celebrated iron crad
where the first Napoleon received 1
bride, Marie Louise, in 1810,
tending thus to reoall her home
Schoenbrnnn, is about to be destr<
cd, with the exception of 150 yai
of tho reserved park. As to tl
portion of it which has always b(
opon to tho public, it will De k
up in its present Btate. Tho cause
this demolition is to gain a vi
of Mount Qannelon. Tho iron
whioh this cradle was formed weil
50,000 pounds.
IMPORTART ARREST.-For BOOM
time past, a company of bot-] a wed
f reed mea, numbering about a dozen,
have been squatted on Gen. Hamp?
ton's land?, within ' five or H% miles
of this .city, known os the" "Old
Furnace Track.'' These freedmen,
armed with guns and other warlike
weapons, have on several occasions,
stopped travelers and demanded their
money, or their life. A warrant was
made out for their arrest, which was
referred to the military authorities,
with a request that A military guard
be assigned to assist in the capture of
the desperadoes. Tho i et pu eal was
immediately granted, and at 3 o'clock
A. M, -, on Thursday last, tho troops,
under the guidance of officer Beas?
ley, marched to the "Old Furnace
Track," and arrested eight of tho in*
dividual*, who were brought before a
magistrate yesterday, and were com?
mitted to jail to stand trial for high?
way robbery. It is to be hoped the
remainder of the party will soon be
under lock and key also.
1 C/uirleston Mercury.
T:""t v.'cclr, a betel keeper, m lian
caster, Pa., "smelled a mice" in this
wise: Two countrymen took lodgings
at his place, and fared sumptuously,
drinking three bottles of wine daily.
The last day, and before they had
settled their bill, a disputer arose
about tho speed of their horses.
They at last settled upon a race, and
appointed the landlord judge. When
they were ready, tho jadge, like those
of the Olympian games, gave the
word-one, two, three, and go. Away
they went, and have neither been
seen nor heard of since.
COLORED JURORS.-Ex-rebel Gov.
Zeb. Vance, of North Carolina, was
the first lawyer of noto who address?
ed a colored jury in the second mili?
tary district, empannelled under Gen.
Canby's order. He addressed them
os "gentlemen of the jury," and won
his case. Thns far this class of
jurors have given satisfaction to the
North Carolina bar generally.

We learn from the Clayton Banner
that in Barbour, as in Bussell and
Montgomery, many negres went to
the polls armed with guns. In Clay?

dling of fire-arms, and it was said that
one of them was mortally wounded.

Ii is pari?os tp note the distinction
of color as applied to disease. There
are the yellow feyer, the black

says, the ..brown creeters." And
now We have, as a climax, the "blue

at quarantine, New York.
A boy in Auburn, Me., domesticat?
ed a turtle in a hogshead of water,
feeding him and rendering him well
acquainted with civilized life. Think?
ing after a few weeks that the turtle
would relish freedom again, the lad
carried him a mile and put him in
the river. The next day, the turtle
re-appeared in his old quarters in the
hogshead.
The Viceroy of Egypt, on leaving
Vichy, made a gift of 16,000 francs
to the municipality, for the founda?
tion of a perpetual free admission to
the free college of the department
of the boy considered the poorest
and the most intelligent in the town
of Vichy.
Senator Sherman, who is election?
eering in Ohio, opposes female suf?
frage. During a recent speech in
Bellefontaine he stated, among other
reasons, why women should not vote,
that they are now well represented
by their husbands, brothers and
lovers.
Some of the farmers of Alabama,
wo see it stated, have already sent an
agent for 400 Germans, and will have
them comfortably provided for in
ample time. That looks like busi?
ness.

soldiers now at work-mostly on

B?CKvriiKAT OAKES AND STB?P.
Reader, did you ever drop into one
of those cosy little stalls, ia Fulton
market, and, after toasting your toes,
call for s plate of steaming hot buck?
wheat cakes, with syrup ? If so, and
you want to bring the recollection of
it vividly before your imagination,
send over to Messrs. Fisher & Low?
rance, early to-morrow morning, and
purchase a bag of their new hulled
buckwheat, together with a box of
yeast powders; and through the as?
sistance of a good cook, tho dream
will be substantially realized in a few
minutes. Of course, Messrs. F. & L.
are prepared to furnish the other
necessaries of a good breakfast-first
quality syrup, No. 1 mackerel, and
the best of coffee, .etc.
ALMOST A RIOT.-A difficulty oc?
curred last night, between two freed -
men, whioh at one time, it was fear?
ed, would end in a general riot. Ono
of tho parties was intoxicated, and
entering a saloon, asked for some re?
freshments, which being refused, he
made use of some very strong ex?
pressions, which was resented by a
colored man employed on tho pre?
mises. Afterwards, the intoxicated
individual became so noisy, that he
wns arrested by the Chief of Police,
when several hundred freedmen col?
lected aro? iiu him, and threatened to
release the prisoner-one individual
going so far as to raise & club to
strike the officer. A policeman in?
terfered, and stopped the descend?
ing blow. A suitable bondsman hav?
ing appeared, who held himself re?
sponsible for the appearance of the
prisoner before the Mayor this morn?
ing, he was released. The freedmen
still appearing in a belligerent state,
a guard was sent for to the garrison,
and on their appearance, the crowd
dispersed qnietly.
