FIRE ON JAMES'ISLAND.-Hubcrnicht's cottou mill ou Jumes' Island, with ma? chinery, gina aud a largo quantity of cotton seed, was entirely destro}'cd yes? terday morning by fire. Tho loss is esti? mated at $8,000, on which Micro was uo insurance, tho policy huviug expired. The Situation. The situation in which the people of the United States are placed is undenia? bly a most oritioal one. A Presidential election is to come off before the close of the year-a Presidential election which, when we ooma to refleot upon it in all its bearings, is perhaps the most important that has over been held. The American people are used to hearing of crises. Every blatant demagogue or pot-bouse politician, when he wanted to be particularly impressive, has talked about a "crisis" for lot these many years. There is no mistaking the fnot, however, that this timo a genuine politi? cal crisis ie upon the country-a crisis that involves the settlement of questions of the most profound interest tc them. We havo never doubted, as we do not now doubt, the loyalty of the musses of the people to tho constitutional Govern? ment established by tho fathers. Unhap? pily, however, party has taken the pluce of patriotism with too many of thom. Occupied with the business and cares of every-day life, the majority of people are not unnaturally willing, in ordinary times, to turu over to tho politicians the management of public affairs. This worked well enough whilst politician.? were yet conscientious in tho discharge of their duties and true to the people whom they represented. But, as aucienl Rome, pure as the administration of hei affairs once WLH, tinnily saw her highes! offices put up to barter, so things have gone on from bad to worse with us, unti the most flagrant violation of law or thc Constitution ceases to cause surprise, Unprincipled demagogues have not hesi tated to avail themselves of the passion! and prejudices of the late disastrous ci vi war to draw closely tho bonds of party and voudor tho people, as far as thej could, oblivious tu their selfish purpose: and ruinous policy. Thus it huj come about that the noun try is in a most deplorable condition An enormous publio debt bas beet j created, tho evidences of which the peo pie see in tho heavy taxes which the; have to pay, as well as in almost every thing they eat, drink or wear. Not oui; is this the case, but tho taxes impose* upon them to meet tho interest on th public dobt have been so arraugod ns t exempt a preferred nud privileged chis of bond-holders, and the tariff on foreig: importations so regulated as to compc the people of tho rest of the States t pay a premium for Now England mani; factures and Pennsylvania iron. Venality und corruption prevail i every department of the Govemmen Once it was considered that the ofiiot holder was but a publia servant whoc duty it was to discharge his trust faitl fully and conscientiously ; but now, we are to judge from the many expo ures of fraud and corruption in big places, the accepted dootriue is that tl office was made for the man, and is it t be turned, honestly or dishonestly, t the greatest personal profit. Th ci things are bad enough, but they are ni the worst phases of the present admin etration of publio affairs. Tho const tution has practically become a nullit usurpation and tyranny are resorted without compunction for personal ai partisan purposes, and the tendency strongly in the direction of consent? tion and centralization. Without tho constitution this (inver ment is naught. It is the foundation our national superstructure, the Ve essence of our politioal system. T strict observance of its provisions is necessity for tho preservation of t liberties of tho people. Yet it is noto: nus that with thoso now in possession the Government tho constitution is dead letter. Infringements are uuhe tatiugly made on the reserved rights the States, and in a portion of the S tal tho most outrageous usurpations a persecutions are practiced by Fede authorities for partisan and persoi ends. A large portion of tho Unie comprising States that onco export more than all tho rost together, has 1 come little botter than a desolate was through the acts of the uuscrupulc rulers into whoso bauds tho managemi of national affairs has fallen. It is clear that there must be a spec return to constitutional udmiuistrutit or our republican liberty will bo 1 forever. Tho corruption, usurpation u centralizing policy of thoso iu pow leavo not tho slightest doubt of tb For years, these things havo been progress, until now nt lust tho Uuul c test is about to toko place between friends of tho old constitutional Gove mont and tho ndvoontes and champ? of tho new ordor of things. At tho proachiug Presidential election, tho is that lins boon joined will be decid President Grant is, of all men, tho i per representativo of thoso who desii change in our system of Govern mt for it has boen nuder Presidout Gra administration that most of tho prog: in corruption and despotism hus b mado. Tho issue is a fair and sqi ono, and ono which can neither be i understood nor avoided. Tho Ameri people, being thus vitally iuterestei is to be hoped that, appreciating the mentons nature of tho contest, having tho power to control tho ret they will sink party iu patriotism, pronounce in behalf of honest, econt cul and constitutional Government. It would bo strange indued if, in ? a crisis, a sufficient number of tho A rican pcoplo did not array thomselve the sido of honesty and freedom, tc eure tho defeat of (Inuit, and tho < tion of a statesman in his place, will labor to restore tho Governinen something like what it onco was.

PBOSPECTS OF COTTON PIIANTING.-The New York Shipping and Commercial Liai, of Saturday, the 24th ult., says: Notwithstanding the protestations of a portion of the press in the cotton States against increasing the production of cot? ton, on the plea thut a small crop will bring more money than a large one, there is reason to believe that the area of land to be devoted to the fleecy staple the ensuing season will bo materially en? larged, under the stimulns afforded by the present high prices, and the excep? tional cheapness of provisions. High prices rarely fail to increase production, of which tho hog crop thia year aud last affords a notable example, and therefore those pragmatic writers who have been telling us that tho Sooth will be richer with 2.C00.000 or 3,000,000 bales than with double the quantity, may as well make up their minds that their thoories will not bo acted upon thia year. The idea of limiting production for tho pur? pose of creating wealth is rather a re? markable ono, since no sophistical fancies can do away with the stubborn facts which involve a reduction of capital pro? portionate to the diminution in the breadth of land and the amount of labor used in growing cotton. Commerce can no more be insensible to a reduction or limitation of the world's aggregate pro? duction of the great staple than it could be insensible to the reduction of the world's aggregate supply of gold and silver. Nobody would seriously think of maintaining, in the latter case, that the loss of quantity would bo compensated by tho enhancement of price; and it is equally irrational to contend that the enforced falling off in cotton production, by reason of diminished capital and labor, would be more than made up in tho higher nominal price brought by smaller crops. The commercial and in? dustrial interests of tho world are all bound up together as one great partner? ship, and it ia mathematically impossible that what thu wholo positively loses cuu count as positivo gain for a particular part. The material interests of tho South, then, will be best subserved by bringing up the production of cotton to tho normal figure, and keeping it in a progressive increase from year to year, corresponding with the growth of the world's wants in respect to cotton con? sumption. And if, at the sume time, the planters pay due attention to tho diver? sification of industry, whereby their de? pendence on other seotions for food may bo sensibly lessened, they need have no very grave fears about the production of cotton greatly outrunning the consump? tion. AN IMPORTANT DECISION.-The Su? preme Court of Georgia has recently announced the following decisiou: "Where a factor makes advances to a planter and takes u lien upou the grow? ing crops under revised code, section 1,077, such advances aro in the nature of purchase money, and the lien is there? fore superior to the wife's title, where the crop was sot apart to her as person? alty under the homestead laws, after it wa? made." ANOTHER PniNTEn COMMITS SUICIDE. The Savannah Netos says: "Wo regret to learn of tho recent death, by suicide, in Tuskoegee, Ala., of Mr. A. F. Hender? son, well kuowu and popular among tho typographical fraternity of this city, of ! which he was a member. Tho cause of the rash act is not assigned, but is be? lieved to bu of a private character, with the particulars of which the public has no concern." Major Johnson, the United States Marshal for South Carolina, is in tho city, says tho Washington (D. C.) Na tional Republican, of Tuesday. Ho yes? terday teudcred his resignation to thu President, but it bas not yet been ac? cepted. Ho makes some complaint in regard to military interference, in u po? litical way, with his duties as Marshal, and demands au investigation of tho matter.
