Ali statistical information must be a matter of interest to oat planters, so that they may be better prepared to govern themselves as to the extent of the ground proper to devote to tho culture of the staple. We have a fow facts and figures which bear directly on this point. In the year 1866, the cotton of the South waa released, and planting generally resumed; that crop and -what was on hand- together, amounted to only 87?? per cent of the British imports of that year. The report of cotton receipts at Liver? pool, to a very recent date, Bhows that from the 1st of January to the 3d of Ootober, 1867, the total im? ports were 2,714,426 bales, and of this, *1,087,570 were from the United States-just 40. per cent, of the whole. India, China, Egypt and Brazil fur? nished nearly all of the remaining 60 per cent. It is' a significant fact-the great increase of the growth at the outbreak of our civil war, and the steadiness of that increase since its close. Up to 1860, cotton, other than that from the United States, never reached above 300,000,000 pounds per annum. At that time and since, it stands thus: In 1860, 275,000,000 pounds ; 1801, -137,000,000; 1862, 510,000,000; 1868, 668,000,000; 1864, 879,000,000; 1865,Jt842,000,,000; 1866, 857,000,000. Thus, we find these other countries furnishing to Great Britain, in each of the last three years, a larger amount of cotton than we ever shipped to that country, pre vioua to 1859. The supply from these rival cotton growing countries looks as thongh it could sustain itself against any other change than that of prices low enough to cripple, if not crush, th is'industry among us. Tho prices under which this great growth of their contribu? tions of the . aple to the markets ol England, sprang up, and as yet held its own against us, run thus:. The average rates of India cotton at Liv? erpool were, in 1860, 8d. per*pound; 1861, 9d.; 1862, 15d.; 1868, 22&d. 1864, 27d. ; on tho 6th Ootober, 1865, 20>?d.; on the 3d of Ootober, 1866, 12d.; on the 3d of Ootober, 1867, G^ i'd., and on the same day, New Or leans "middling" had gone down tc 8%d., from the average of 29cL, ir the year 1864. The crop of th if country, in 1860, was 4,669,770 bales, and was worth $235,000,000, whiol was within $30,000,000 of the value of the wheat crop of that year. Puring 1860, American cottoni averaged 6 >.?l. lower than they hac been for the five preoeding years Daring that year, our share in Britist imports was 80.!.{ per cent. In the last twelve months, it has not gone above 40 per cent, perhaps not ovei 37 per cent, of the British supply, although it has boen in that time de dining from 15d. to 8%d. Gan il afford to go back to its price in 1860, G'.jd.V If it cannot, the limit of it; market in Europe, is fixed at one half tho proportion it formerly hele to tho other cottons of the world But we are told that if cotton is 8>'yd. or 17>? cents, per pound in England the net yields to the planter is no above 12 cents. Before tho war, cot ton could not be raised without ac timi loss, below 6 cents per ponnd The question then arises, whethe with a constantly diminishing market increased oost of production in ever; respect, and difficulty in proourinj labor, it can now be raised withon loss, at 12 cents. From all we hav heard or read on the subject, w have come to the conclusion that i cannot. THE CONVENTION CARRIED IN Soun CAROLINA.-Official information re ceived here, is to the effect that Convention in South Carolina wi probably be called, notwithstandini tho apparent failure at first indicated The returns from the interior sho) that a larger vote was polled in th Districts, than on the sea-coast. Th Convention in North Carolina wi probably be fixed for the early pai of January, and that for South Care Btu somewhat later in the sam month. i We have private accounts froi New Orleans stating that the poop] there have only escaped yellow fev< to be scourged by cholera. Th latter disease is carrying off fro. ten to fifteen per day. We hare before ns a monthly publi? cation, entitled "The Spirit of Mis? ions;" purporting/^ ?dft?d for tho Board of Missions of tho Protest? ant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, by the secretaries and general ogenteof the two com? mittees, and of the freedman's com? mission. In this issue (November) -we find a communication, nnder the caption of "Signa of Promise," touching *tho improvement among the colored people of the South: "As a single illustration of what they aro capablo of in the higher; branches of learning, we may men? tion the case of a native African in South Carolina, -who is a thoroughly educated man, and a distinguished linguist; who converses fluently in ten different language*, and who is equally conversant in the Greek Testament anrl Koran. This man is now moor? ing as a field hand, while he gives his earnings to teaching his follow-labcr era, And it is said, if his food could bo furnished bim, he would earnestly de? vote, his whole time to the education of some eighty children in his imme? diate vicinity. This, statement is made on the authority of Brevet Major-General lt. E. Scott, of the Freedmen's Bureau." - The ex-Brevet Major-General bas truly made a discovery, which, as the writer says, "we may well call won? derful" It is a pity that such a genius should waste his fragrance in the d?sert air, on an old cotton field; and we, therefore, respectfully sug? gest to the trustees of the University, and its reverend President, to secure the services of this colored man of talent. We do - not think that our venerable institution of learning ever had a professor, so amply qualified as is this "field hand." Why, if this "nativo African" had a single grain of common sense, he could lease him? self to Barnum for an annual sum, whioh would not only educate eighty, but eight hundred. At any rate, we jhope the; authorities of the Univer? sity will look into the matter, and rescue suoh an intellectual prodigy from his drudgery in the cotton patch. The annual report of the Commis? sioner of the Land Office, states that the area of the public lauds, exclusive of the newly acquired Russian pos? session, amounts to 1,465,468,800 .acres, while the extent of Alaska is estimated at 369,539,000 acres, or 577,390 square miles. During the post year there have been sold, for cash, 756,609 acres; located with military bounty land warrants 176, 760 acres; set apart for homesteads 1,788,043 acres; disposed of in other ways 5,807,736 acres-total 7,041,115 acres. Tho extent of land given by Congress, at various times, in aid of railways and wagon roads, reaches the enormous figure of 124,000,000 acres, which the Commissioner says, is an empire exceeding in the aggre? gate, by more than 5,000,000 acres, the entire area of the six New Eng? land States, added to the surface of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Delaware, Maryland and Vir? ginia. The Corn missioner justly says that such a munificent present, par? takes more of extravagance than of generosity, and it is high time that more regard should bo paid to the interests of settlers under the home? stead laws. Mr. Wilson gives a variety of statistics in this report, respecting the various States and Territories; but the above statement ia about all of interest to the general reader. PREMATURE.-The Cheraw Adver? tiser, of Saturday last, comes to us clothed in mourning, its leading edi? torial being an obituary of the State of South Carolina, whioh State, it alleges, departed this life on the 7th day of October, 1867. Our cotem porary is too fast-the old State is not dead yet. It behoves in a re? surrection, however, should the mel? ancholy demise be confirmed. It says: "But her ohildren mourn not aa those who have no hope. Their bosoms are warmed by the Christian faith. They believe in a resurrection and a judgment, and that the day will come when she will arise from the Crave, clothed with purple and with a crown of victory on her head. Animated with thia hope they await that day with the humble and truth? ful faith of a Christian.' Two of tho ladies killed at the re? cent railroad accident near Cincin? nati were, during the war, banished from Now Orleans by Banka because they failed to salute Admiral Porter and a lady with whom he wai Walk? ing. The Greenville Enterprise, in not ticing the discontinuance of the Chronicle, says: "The Phoenix still flonejehes with undiminished light. It ia one of the best of newspapers. The Phoenix has, like some other South Carolina journals, an unfortunate propensity to encourage all the negroes to re? main in this State. Their own good and the good of the State would be vastly promoted by a thinning out. But the Phoenix is not alone in this folly. We mean no offence .personal. 'Homer sometimes nods:' 'Several of the paper? of this State and states? men ?ave, since the war, exerted their influence to retain all tho ne? groes within the State. Why nbtvii the preponderance of negro popula? tion is such a blessing, exert them? selves to procure immigration ol more? We respectfully submit that it is time for everybody to 'con? fider. We may be very obtuso, as for the life of. us we cannot understand whai the writer means in the above para? graph. Our "unfortunate propen? sity" to encourage the negroes tc remain in the State, is a-propensity which is justified by facts. Theil labor could not be replaced, were they to emigrate; and the jubilatior over the arrival of a hundred or twc Germans, the other day, is proo: that no substituto for negro laboi could be secured, oven for this little State, in ten years.

TBADK. per??fl of heavy decline in cotton, in which the article appeared to be approaching a point where the great Boothern staple would only have but a nominal value, this im? portant product, contrary to the opini?n of many, bas taken an nnex and decided rise of %?. per in tho British market. We notice at the moment no satisfactory cause for this 'sudden improvement, but it is reasonable to expect that, with peace in Europe, the present low price will induce increased con? sumption, and .all that is wanted to give the product a wider field of market,"with improving prices, is cheap food. With this element sup? plied, there can be but little room to question that a better demand and enhanced rates would ensue. As this advance in price is accompanied with a good Manchester report, it is to be hoped that it is the beginning of a permanent improvement beth Ia tho demand and price. A few cents ad? ditional added to the present value of the article would do much to relievo the planting interest, and would in? duce the growers of the commodity to go to work with a better spirit and more confidence in the future. The trade of the South would also be re? animated, and much ' that is gloomy and cheerless now would brighten with the prospeot of a better day. [Charleston News. VIO?KKT TORNADO rs BARNWELL.- I On Friday, the 29th ultimo, one of the most violent tornadoes that ever swept over this section of country, was experienced about 2 miles above this village. Its fury was confined,to a very narrow scope, covering in width about a quarter of | a mile. Trees, fences, out-houses, &o., were levelled to the ground, and some three or four of our planting friends, on whom it vented its spleen, will not be able this year to clear their land. On one place there was not a I single tree left standing. A wagon was carried some forty or fifty yards and stove into atoms, and a large tree, after it was uprooted, was car? ried some twenty or thirty feet from where it grew, and lodged against a | tree. Fortunately no lives were lost, but the extent of the damage cannot be estimated; even the cotton left standing in the fields was spun out a I yard in length, and much of it twisted. Our informant, Mr. S. O. Cave, a gentleman who can be relied on, states that he has never seen any? thing to equal it, and the oldest in? habitant does not recollect ever witnessing such ? storm.
