The Prospect.
It would not bo surprising, if the
people of the South should become
despondent as tho Presidential elec?
tion approaches. During the last
threo years we have been expecting
relief, and as it has not come already,
men are apt not to believe that the
desired boon will surely bo revealed
by a single event soon to occur. Wo
have so long seen that tho men in
power will do nothing but deepen our
distress, that wo are ready to con"
elude that their constituents aro of
the same mind. Wo should not for?
get that the constituents of tho men
in power in tho official stations, have,
in years gono by, stood hand and
heart with us in many a struggle, at
home and with foreign foes, to rescue
our system from ruin and from detri?
ment. The pcoplo of the North aro
attached to self-government aud to
our representativo system, and they
have, as yet, had no opportunity, as
in the coming election they will have,
to utter forth and to enforce their
pride in tho prowress and renown of
the United States-their country as
well as ours. They will not forget
that their representatives proclaimed,
by absolution in Congress, Jn 1862,
.hat the object of the war, at that
time raging and three years ago
ended, was to put down tho rebellion
which tho South has renounced and
is unanimously resolute not to renew.
That peoplo right well, and altogeth?
er, do know that we pant for peace
not tin peace tho sword insures, but
that alono which ennes to tho reign
of civil law, and which their men in
power have so long denied to the
South, and still show, iu all their
coarse, it is not their design to re?
store. And, toorowu tho proofs that
the prospect is good, the results of
all the elections that have been bold
during tho last twelve months, have
shown that the constituents of the
men who havo desired and adopted
measures to oppress us, do not agree
with them, but desire that the South
shall be relioved. "Why, then, asks
the Petersburg Express, should wo
despair of tho Federal Republic in
tho coming election?
TILE WAY THE TAXES Go.-"Tho
stationery of tho Senate for tho year
1860, cost $7,500, though every State
was represented; tho Btatinuory for a
fall Houso that year was $20,636.
But for the last year the amount
actually appropriated was $25,000 for
tho ono body, and $27,000 for the
other, and a deficiency bill of $10,
000 for tho Senate, and $15,000 for
tho Houso has sinco passed, making
tho aggregate $77,000, or threo times
os much as it was eigbt years ago.
Shall the pcoplo ronew the lease of
power of mon who thus squander tho
public money on their own persons?
For remember the question is not so
mach, who shall bo tho Chief Magis?
trate, as who shall control the legisla?
tion of the country for tho next Presi?
dential term."
An insano man in St Charles, Mo.,
a few days since, took possession of
an engine which ho found on the

ran into an express train nearly
due. He was arrested and taken care
of.

Tb? Cotton Crop-Cotton Supply
Baaln< fis Prospects.
With all' tho drawbacks to tHo cul?
tivation of cotton, compared with
toe moans and facilities just before
tho wnr, the ero*? cf the present year
is large and very valuable. It is now
generally estimated at two millions
five hundred thousand bales; and it
must bo remeinbored that this is not
tho estimate of cotton speculator?,
who aro often interested in misrepre?
senting tito facts, but of thc planters
themselves nuil of thoso who preparo
careful statistics of our productions.
Tho cotton generally is of ns line
quality, too, as in tho most favorable
seasons. Thisycnr's crup, therefore,
will bo worth, if tho present prico bo
kept up, about two hundred and fifty
millions of dollars. Thero is rensou
to believe tho price will be sustained,
or that it will declino but little. Tho
stock of our American long staple on
band in Europe is very limited and
there is a largo demand at home.
Tho crop wili realize, probably, moro
than any previous ono has realized;
for when it reached four and fivo
millions of bales, as in tho years just
before the war, the market value per
pound was not half what it is now.
England has been making extraor
I dinary efforts for many years past to
stimulate tho growth of cotton in lu?
dia, Egypt aud other parts of tho
world, in order to mako herself inde?
pendent, to some extent, at least, of
tho United States for this article.
The money expended by the British
Government, by tho Government of
India and by English capitalists and
manufacturers for this purpose,
amounts to au enormous sum. The
war in this country which cut off the
supply to England, and which at one
timo threatened to break up and re?
volutionize tho vast manufacturing
business of that country, alarmed the
British peoplo and Government. At
this crisis, they redoubled their for?
mer efforts to get a supply elsewhere,
and they did increase tho production
vastly in India, and, to some eztent,
in Egypt. Still, as soon as tho war
was over hero and American cotton
could be obtained agaiu, tho demand
for it was greater than tho supply,
and it continues to be so even at the
high price of twenty-two to twenty
eight couta a p?uud. Why is this?
Tho answer is plain. Tho cotton of
India is a poor, .short staplo article
and badly prepared for market; the
cotton from Egypt, though better
than that of India, und said to be
equal in quality to some of tho beat
American, is raised only to a limited
extent, and tho crops are very unre?
liable.
It has been said that Egypt would
produce two or three millions of bales
a year, with sufficient labor and skil?
ful cultivation; but thero is neither
the labor nor skill to obtain such a
vast productioD. We doubt, how?
ever, if anything like that amount
could bo raised under any circum?
stances. The truth is, our Southern
States are the only reliable cotton
producing regions yet discovered in
the world for tho best qualities, and
there is no fear of other countries
rivaling this in that production. Our
soil, climate and labor; and, abovo
all. that beneficent Gulf Stream which
sweeps round our const, giving tho
needful showers alternately willi a
semi-tropical sunshine, give us for all
time a monopoly of cotton culture
and tho cotton markets.
When wo look at the terrible de?
struction of property in the South
during tho war, at the universal
poverty of the planters and of nil
classes of peoplo, at tho breaking up
of the whole previous lubor system,
at the political and social disorgan?
ization, at the worn-out condition of
nil the implements and appliances of
industry, and at tho want of capital,
tho '.arge cotton production now is us
surprising as it is gratifying. But
that is not all. The South has raised
this year a vast and an unusual
amount of corn, wheat and other
cereals, with almost everything else
necessary to sustain tho population,
independent of outside supplies. In?
deed, we should not bo surprised if
tho South should havo a surplus of
provisions for exportation. Besides,
thero is a fair tobacco crop, and sugar
planting has revived in Louisiana.
India was novor as valuable to Eng?
land as tho South to this country.
Only think of cotton alone-that sin?
glo production-which as an article
of exportation, to yjay for the balance
of trado against us and our liabilities
abroad, is worth three times over tho
gold produced in all the States and
Territories of tho republic, to say
nothing of its immense valuo to our
own manufacturers.
Tho Southern peoplo have shown
remarkable energy and power of re?
cuperation. From the lowest stato of
depression, and under the greatest
difficulties, they aro rapidly rising
again to wealth. This is characteris?
tic of the American peoplo. Tho
courage, industry and perseverance
of the Southerners, under the most
trying circumstances, should induce
among the peoplo of tho North for?
giveness of tho past, and mako them
proud of such fellow-citizens; for
they are of tho same race and tho
same flesh and blood. Nothing is
Wanted to develop tho teeming na?
tural wealth and varied productions
of the Sooth, beyond what has ever
boen seen before, but peace, restora?
tion) harmony and fraternal feeling
between the two sections of our
common country.

We have all read stories of captur?
ed standard-bearers who heroically
wrapped their battle flags about their
bodies, and bore lonp years of cap?
tivity, cheered by tho hopo of unfurl?
ing tbem once more among friends.
Wo have shed tears over that irre?
pressible dead drummer boy beneath
whose body is always found a care?
fully-folded up guidon, with a hugo
blood stain precisely in the middle of
it ; and reflecting how peaco has her
victories as well as war, are not as?
tonished to find similar instances of
courageous devotion in the smiling
walks of life, as well as tho stormier
ones. Ono such graces the day wo
live in and tho country we love. An
old man, so silent and retired as to
appear almost imbecile, but who,
wandering listlessly about the streets,
of a great city, beats with bim the
secret of the place of concealment of
public documents which, if exposed,
would work the ruin of tho whole
radical party. 'Tis true tho glory of
Iiis sacrificing devotion is somewhat
impaired by the fact that ho stole
them; that he took advantage of the
trust reposed in him by tho Chief
Magistrate of a great nation to ab
street them from tho public archives;
according to the political gospel he
professes, tho ends aimed at would
justify far worse deeds than this. If
they could bo mado public, the whole
mystery touching tho exchange of
prisoners during tho late war would
bo fully explaiuod, and tho infamy of
one of the most heinous crimes over
perpetrated in history be fastened
upon a party who now aspires to rule
tho destinies of this country. No
wonder his head is bowed and his
mind is tottering. The falsifier of
history commits a crime against man?
kind so bonndles in its vileness as to
be absolutely demoniac. While wo
reserve honors for the soldier for a
laudublo act, wo would recommend
the search warrant for Mr. Stanton.
A careful examination of his house?
hold effects would, we think, bring
to light enough documentary evi?
dence of humau depravity and crime
to effectually dotormino the result of
the Presideutial election. Wo ro
couituend this view of tho caso to the
consideration of his immediate neigh?
bors. Tho documents are certainly
missing from the War Office. Mr.
Stanton undoubtedly took them; and
Mr. Stanton daro not destroy thom.
Altogether tho case presents n free
field for the exercise of a little detec?
tive ingenuity, in which the grandeur
of the results would only be equaled
by the fame of achieving them.

A CTJBIOUS FRENCH STORY.-Re?

the sea was rather stormy, but not
exceedingly BO. If it hud been
snap for tho bathing! for Parisiennes
?re not- famous for thor bravour mariT
time.
The waves no longer caressed the
shore voluptuously and languishing?
ly, dying away as if iu rapture.
They pouted and growled, for tho
wind had beeu spreading rumors and
stirred up a quarrel between sea and
land. Little by little those who carno
to batho became alarmed. Ono of
tho bathers or sailors employed to
batho tho ladies remained to tho last,
eagerly inspecting every group us if
searching for somo one, and bia
hnndsomo face and powerfnl figure
were generally commented on by nil,
and admired-especially by tho la?
dies.
This handsome sailor of thirty
eight years had a history. A year
ago, his only relative ou earth was a
bautiful daughter of fifteen, and re?
turning to Paris after a voyage, he
fouud that she had beeu seduced and
carried away. Every research was in
vain; all that ho could learn was that
she was leading a gay lorette life.
At last it occurred to him that us all
lorettes go to the seaside, and most
of them from one watering place to
another, he could not fail to fiud her
at the place where tho scene of this
incident is laid.
The clouds grew moro lowering,
and the sea roared moro deeply, but
there was one little group which
seemed determined to brave all risks.
They went out. Suddenly the atten?
tion of nil was called bj' an appnlling
scene. The handsome sailor hail in
his arms a j'oung girl whom ho held
like a mere babe, and was threatening
to drown. The girl, paralized with
fear, was uttering terrible shrieks,
while lie exclaimed:
"Promise to quit this life-promise i
to return home with me, or I will
drown you!"
At last, the girl seemed to recover
consciousness, and it would seem that 1
the promise was given, for the pair i
went quietly together home, and as
quietly the next day left the watering
place.

HON. JOHN Q. ADAMS.-A tele?
graphic despatch was received yester?
day from this distinguished gentle?
man, that, in obedience to an invita?
tion extended to him by tho Central
Executive Committee, ho will visit
Columbia and address our people.
Mr. Adams is tho first Northern
statesman who has visited ns and
spoken to our people upon our own
soil. We trust that he will (as we aro
very sure that he will) receive a
hearty welcome from the citizens of
Columbia and elsewhere in the State.
M?\ Adams telegraphs that ho will
leave Boston on Monday morning,
the 5th inst., and will probably bo in
Columbia by Thursday morning. It
will, therefore, bo best to have the
people to meet him and hear his ad?
dress on Friday next. Let the peo?
ple of this District and the surround?
ing Districts come in to hear a Bos?
ton mau speak upon Carolina soil.
Let ns, through Mr. Adams, give the
lie to the wicked documents that aro
sent North to prove the hatred of
Northern men by Southern men. Let
Mr. Adams see with bis eyes and
hear with his cars, and let him carry
the truth homo with him to Massa?
chusetts and the whole North. Here
we shall have a gentleman and a man
of high character and distinguished
talents to speak to ns-a mau who
has a local habitation aud a name.
Ho was elected Mayor of Boston by
the Democratic party, and is now the
candidate of that party for Governor.
Wo remember his words some few
mouths ago-"By right," said he, "I
should bo a Republican-my natural
predilections are in favor of that par?
ty, but I seo that party driving the
country to ruin, I am driven into the
Democratic party, who wish to re?
store tho Constitution and save the
country." Wo say amen to this sen?
timent. We now turn Mr. Adams
over to tho hospitality of the people
of Columbia.
