facts and Fl gare? for Cotto- P?c-tcr.
A writer for the Columbus (Ga.)
Enquirer has written a serios of
articles to show the cost of raising
cotton in the South and in India,
and to demonstate to our planters
the errors they have been and are
still committing in relation to cotton
planting. He begins with an estimate
of the cost of working a plantation of
1,200 acree-500 norea in cotton, 800
acres in corn, &c, and 400 acres in
. wood and waste lands. The 800 acres
under cultivation are to be worked
by 500 laborers, cultivating 10 acres
. in cotton, and 6 acres in oom, Seo., to
the hand, and using 24 mn in*. Here
is his estimate:
"Hire of 50 laborers, at average
price per annum, $6,250; cost of
bacon, 182 pounds to the laborer,
9,100 pounds (for 50) at 16c., about
$1,450; blacksmith's work and iron
to keep np plows, wagons, ?cc, in
same good condition as commenced
with; also, for hoes, axes, traces, har?
ness, hames, and all plantation tools,
$1,000; insuranoe against death and
theft of 24 mules, value $4,800, at 9
per centum, $432; depreciation ' of
mules by age, per annum, valued at
$4,800, at 6 per cent., $288; super?
intendence of overseer, his board,
&o., $1,250; depreciation of land,
houses, gin, screw, &c., annually,
$500; State and County taxes, $100;
rent of land, or interest on land,
mules, provisions, Sec, valued at
$20,000, at 7 per cent, $1,400; no
estimate for provisions, as it is sup?
posed tho 800 acres will replace tho
amount consumed; no charge for
bagging and rope, as it will about re?
fund cost. Cost of operating planta?
tion, $12,670."
As lands will differ in production,
he submits the following os the yield
per acre, so that it may be seen what
it costs under different conditions.
He begins with 300 pounds per acre
of seed cotton sud extends it up to
1,500 pounds:
"300 pounds seed cotton on 500
acres yields 45,000 pounds lint, at
$28.15, gives $12,667; 400 pounds
seed cotton on 500 acres yields 60,000
pounds lint, at $21.12, gives $12,672;
500 pounds seed cotton on 500 acres
yields 75,000 pounds lint, at $16.90,
gives $12,675; 800 pounds seed cotton
on 500 acres yields 120,000 pounds
hut, at $10.56, gives $12,672; 1,000
pounds seed cotton on 500 acres
yields 150,000 pounds lint, at $8.45,
gives $12,675; 1,500 pounds seed
cotton on 500 acres yields 225,000
pounds hut, at $5.63, gives $12/67."
It will thus be seen that the richer
the land the less the cost of produc?
tion. Land that will not produce
over 600 pounds per acre, the writer
says, had better be left uncultivated,
as it costs more money to produce ii
than the present net price-about
12>? cents-would warrant. Thc
writer proceeds to show the cost ol
producing cotton in India. The cost
of the production of twenty acres ic
that country is as follows:
"Labor of cultivating, inoludiug
hire of laborers, oxen, feed, \c, 95
rupees-equal each to 2 shillings
sterling, ?3). 10; local tax to Govern?
ment for assessment, kc, 19 rupees,
?1.18; ginning and packing, 30
rupees, ?3; cost of cultivating 20
acres, ?14.8."
This produces 1,500 pounds, and
costs, reduced to our currency, about
1%, cents per pound, while the aver?
age cost here, under present circum?
stances, is over 14 cents per pound.
. We re-produce these figures, sub?
mitted by a planter of experience, tc
show our land-owners that they can?
not enter into competition with thc
Eastern producers-in short, that
they will be compelled to adopt at
entire new system, if they wish tc
avoid inevitable bankruptcy. If thc
present price of cotton does not re
munerato the Southern planter, h<
should reflect on the probable stil
lower prices which the competidor
from India and other countries v, il
bring. If other countries go on in
creasing their cultivation, our plan
tera must expect the price of thc
staple to fall to a point in greenbacks
as low as cotton sold for gold bofon
the war. Agriculture is the origina
source of all our wealth, and nf oj
our means of subsistence; it is, there
fore, that wo devote so much atton
tion to that interest.

HOWARD'S BUREAU. -Tho Charles?
ton JVeiM loaras that Gen. Howard
baa inned an order, removing all
office? and agents of the Freedmen's
Bureau who were candidates at the
recent election for a Convention.
However objectionable the Bureau
may appear, Qen. Howard bas admi?
nistered its affairs with justioe and
impartiality among all classes. In
bis forthcoming report, as well as in
his recent artiole published at Wash?
ington upon tho educational progress
of the freedmen and their increase in
pcpulation, he advocates a liberal
endowment by Congress for public
schools in all the Southern States,
and also suggests that the two classes,
white and colored, shall be kept en?
tirely distinct in separate schools.
Gen. Howard, during the past
vMrf 1>? rrir.dc ?ber?! udvauces to
E" lautere, without distiuction of po
ticul creed, in every Southern Stuto,
thus enabling, many to resume plant?
ing operations by the purchase of
agricultural implements, providions,
stock, &c.
These advances, Gen. Howard re?
ports, have been faithfully returned
by tho recipients, nffording a conclu?
sivo answer to the alleged punic faith
of the Southern people.
The Bureau has expended, during
the past year, ?215,000 in the South?
ern States in aid of educational insti?
tutions, under tho auspices of all
denominations of christians.
CHURCHES OF THE UNITED STATES.
The report on tho state of religion in
the United States, prepared by Rev.
Henry B. Smith, D. D., of tho Union
Theological Seminary, and presented
to tho General Conference of the
Evangelical Alliance, recently in ses?
sion at Amsterdam, is a document of
great interest and value, containing
within a small oompass a vast
amount of information in regard to
the state and progress of religion in
this country. The following is the
number of churches, etc., in the
United States:
Rom mi Catholio Churches 3,800,
communicants 4,000,000; Methodists
10,460, 2,000,000; Baptists 17.220,
1,690,000; Presbyterians 5,000, 700,
000; Lutherans 2,900, 323,800; Con?
gregationalists 2,780, 257,400; Pro?
testant Episcopalians 2,800, 161,200;
German Reformed 4,160, 110,000;
Dutch Reformed 440, 60,000; United
Brethren, ubout 3,000 societies; Mo?
ravians, about 12,000 communicants;
Unitarians, about 800 churches; Uui
versalists inclnde about 600,000 of
tho population; Friends or Quakers,
orthodox, about 54,000 members;
Friends or Quakers, Hicksites, about
40,000 members.
AMUSEMENTS IN NEW YORK.-A New
fork paper says:
"The receipts at eight theatres in
New York during the summer season
-Jnne, Jnly and August-amounted
to over $400,000. At all the places
of amusement in the city, they pro?
bably amounted to 8600,000. The
summer season is the dullest in the
year, but the theatres seem to make
it pay, nevertheless. 83,000,000 a
year would be a moderate estimate of
the expenditures in this city on
thentres, the opera and tho concert
balls. Three-fourths of this amount
go to the theatres, and about two
thirds of tho residue to the opera.
The present season has thus far been
one of the most prosperous to ma?
nagers that they have bad in many
years. There is more economy in
the households of tho middle classes
than thero was last year or the year
before, but most people manage to
spare enough from their income or
their savings to purchase at least one
evening's amusement each week."

The session will commence its pro?
ceedings, after religious service, with
the sermon of the Moderator of tho
last General Assembly, Rov. Andrew
H. Kerr, D. D. Many important
questions of deep interest to Chris?
tians generally, and to Presbyterians
particularly, will bo presented for
deliberation. Among the latter will
be tho report of tho committeo ap?
pointed to confer with a committeo
from the Cumberland Presbyterian
Chnrcb, in regard to articles of union
between these two bodies of Chris?
tians.

tho guard fired on an individual in
the yard; but the intruder made his
escape, evidently injured by the ball.
A short time afterwards, the guard
was shot at, from the outside-the
ball passing through his hat. The
firing caused some excitement, and a
file of soldiers from the garrison was
sent to the prison, to assist in putting
down any disturbance that might
arise.

A CAROLINA INVENTION.-We copy

ELDER'S SOUTHERN CLOTHES WASH?
ER.-Wo again call tho attention of
our readers to tho advertisement of
this most valaable Southern inven?
tion, as it originally appeared in this
paper, and to which is appended this
morning the certificates ol a number
of our citizens-ladies and gentlemen
of tho highest respectability-who
havo mado a practical test of its
utility, and who commend it highly
to the public. Wo can certify also
and wo do so with pleasure-that in
tho presence of a number of ladies at
our own domicil, this "Southern
Clothes Washer" underwent the
severest test that could bo applied to
it, and that it came out of the trying
ordeal, leaving not a shadow of a
doubt upon tho minds of any of the
ladies present, that it is, what is
aftirmed of it by the ingenious inven?
tor, a great labor-saving machine,
performing tho operation of washing,
in much less time, and in a superior
manner to any thoy have ever seen
tested. Decidedly all heads of fami?
lies should have one of Elder's ma?
chines. In this now ora, when it is
so hard to procuro tho services of
those who. in ol? times, did the wash?
ing for families, tho "Southern
Clothes Washer" will become a family
necessity. There is economy in its
ase, as well as a saving of labor, and
what is also valuable, a saving of
imo.
