Facta ?nd Figures About Cotton.
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.

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.

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.

OBITUARY.
Died, in Baltimore, Md., on tho 5th of
December, with disease of tho heart,
JAMES A. MoGUIRE, a native of Charles?
ton, S. C., but a resident of this city for
the past twelve years.
The death of this amiable yonth is a
severo trial to those whom he has left bo
hind to deplore his loss. As a son, ho was
dutiful and obedient; as a brother, he wan
kind and affectionate. He was esteemed
by all who knew him. Those who have
lost him in these relations, will over cherish
and revere his memory; and they are only
consoled by the humble hope that his puro
meeknoHS of spirit have assured him his
reward above.
Though huah'd forever is his tone,
Of joyousnoas aud mirth,
And we no more his form can see
Amid the scenes of earth.
Yet hallowed thoughts ot by-gone days.
Will in our bosom dwell,
And we oan keep bia image
Within sweet memory's cell.
