Washington, August 13.?The Au? gust returns of the Department of Agriculture show an improvement in the prospeots of the cotton crop in all the large cotton States except Ala? bama, in whioh during July the ave? rage declined 2 per cent.; Virginia also deolined 2 per cent.: Arkansas 7 per cent., and Tennessee 6 per cent. The two States last named complain of extensive and severe droughts. North Carolina maintains her July average, reporting a general prevalence of fine conditions of growth; no insect depre? dations, except lice in a few places in Lincoln Oounty. The orop was twenty days in advance?the Srat bloom being on'July 31. South Carolina reports a considerable improvement, while the State of Georgia advances ber average 1 per cent., Mississippi 2 per cent, and Florida *6 per cent. From several Oonnties in these States come com? plaints of looal drought, impoverish? ing the growth of plants; in others, heavy rains have caused an excessive growth of weeds, with a tendenoy to long joints and a small fruitage. Caterpillars are reported in many lo? calities, but they appear to be, gene? rally, even later in their development than the crops. Several correspond? ents think they are too late to damage any but top crops. In some Counties, the bottom crops are poor, while the middle orops are luxuriant. Where a good stand was secured early, the orop is generally reported as better thau for years. Louisiana suffered severely from freshets in the early part of the season, reduping her July average to 73; the disastrous consequences were ?partly remedied by the improved con? ditions of tho growth in July, but still the crop is 17 per cent, below the ave? rage. In some Parishes, as iu East Feliciana, the working force of farm animals was seriously crippled by the oharbon, causing the crops to remain an worked at critical periods. No seri? ous insect injuries are foreshadowed, and the tone of correspondence is more hopeful. Texas increased her high average, showing a general and satisfactory improvement. Insects were demonstrating in different quar? ters, but were successfully met by remedies. In Gonzales County, a large red wasp was making war upon the farmer enemies; while in Waller, nooks of small birds, never before seen, were very destructive upon them. The State average was as follows: Vir? ginia, 98 per cent, of an average orop; North Carolina, 102; Sonth Caroliuo, 97; Georgia, 94; Florida, 102; Ala? bama, 90; Mississippi, 89; Louisiana, 83; Texas, 105; Arkansas, 87; Tennes? see, 83. A delegation of ten Omaha Indians, from Nebraska, arrived in this city this morning.

Probabilities?During Friday, over New England, the pressure will in? crease, with North to East winds and partly cloudy and cool weather. Over the South Atlantic and East Gulf States, stationary or falling barometer, slight? ly lower temperature, winds mostly from the East and North, partly cloudy weather and rain areas. Over tho West Gulf States, lower barometer, slight ohanges of temperature, variable wiuds and partly cloudy weather, with possibly raiu areas. Over Tennessee nnd the Ohio valley, slightly lower ba? rometer aud temperature, North uud East winds, partly cloudy weather, and iu the former possibly light rain. The opinion of the Attorney-Gene? ral, that the United States have exclu? sive jurisdsotion over the oemeterics, concludes: "Bat if, as is usually the case, the State, in making the cession or in giving its consent to the pur? chase, reserved the right to serve and execute its process upon the land, or annexed any other like oondition, it has been held that the acceptance of a cession with this reservation amounts ? to an agreement on the part of the United States to permit the free exer oiee of such process as being quoad hoe its own process, and upon any other construction, the oession would be nu? gatory and void.

F el low-citizens i I offer myself ay ^luOhJute i<* ^ou'tfVntfes in/tlie elecf} ^fpj^wTjich tfclap pgace ju- November next, to neleet u member ot Congress for_tbie Congressional District, i \U*p;orableMis'the condition of tbe State, I tbiuk you will agree witb me that a Statu patty organization does not promise ns relief. In tbe whole State, the Republican party is in a majority, although that majority is undoubtedly enormously exaggerated. But, still, un organized party opposi? tion oriugs tbe Republioan party to the support of its-candidates -in every portion of the State, aud thus whero we aro locally strong, we are not al? lowed simply to tight our own battles, but ure foroed iuto confliat with the whole strength of the Republican organization. Worse still, in the pre? sent condition of national parties, a State party organization is sure to be misrepresented as lining an opposition, not to tbe iniquitous administration of tho Republican party in South Caro? lina, but as an opposition to tho Re? publioan party of the Union, and espe? cially to the administration of General Grant, and the prejudices and power of the Federal Government are thus enlisted against us. Now, I am per? fectly safe id Haying that, at present, to tbe people of this State, Federal politics are obsolete. Their one-ab? sorbing, vital interest is the honest administration of the State Govern? ment, and they ask for power only so far us events have proved that power in tbe bunds of tbe property-holders and tax-payers of the Statu is abso? lutely necessary to secure such honest administration. And they ucc.l rep? resentation in Washington, to be heard before the Congress of the na? tion and by tbe President, in order tbut the truth as to their condition and feelings should be known; in order that the influence of the General Go vernmeut shall not be used against them, in entire misconception of their sentiment and tbeir purpose. This representation has been purposely aud pertinaciously denied us. Take your own Congressional District as an illus? tration. Whatever may be tbe strength of tho Republican party iu the whole State, or iu other portions of tho State, here certainly they are uot a majority. That there are some Republicans, I admit?some of them selected without reference to party affiliations?holding County offices aud seats in the Legis? lature, and they have proved useful aud faithful officers. This condition of things was well known to the Re? publican Legisluturo, when last wiuter it undertook the re-districting of the State. What did it do? The Act of Congress of 1862 required that each Congrcsiouul District should be com? posed of "contiguous territory." So wheu they bad grouped together Oconee, Pickecs, Anderson, Abbeville, Laureus and Newberry, iu which a reasonable effort would have secured tho people such a representative as they roully desired, they added Rich land, which is not "contiguous terri? tory;" which touches the rest of the Distriot at no one point, simply and only because Rioblund was eutirely in tho bauds of the Republican party, and experience had shown that any nnmber of Republican votes could be manufactured to order in that County to moet the requirements of a con? tested election. This Congressional District bos, therefore, for the ex? press purpose of excluding you from representation, been constructed in deliberate aud fraudulent violation of the law of the land. If there were no other issue, this is ono which you ought to make iu vindication of the supromest right which belongs t > free men, and oue in whiob you oan ap? peal from the narrow uud selfish tyranny of the Republican party of tho State to the justice and to tho lawful authority of the Republican party of the Uuion. But there are other reasons why you should earnestly endeavor to secure for yourselves u fitting representation. The section of tho State iu which we live and with which our fortuues are identified in the only ono in whiob there is marked evidence of material improvement. Wo havo a homogene? ous population, the advantages of our soil aud elimuto offer sure, if slow, inducements to immigration, our po? pulation is increasing, und tho open? ing of uow channels of communication is fast briugiug this up-couutry, hither? to so isolated, into direct relations with our neighbors West and North. Old party issues aro fast dying out. Those which aro .shaping themselves in the future uro financial uud indus? trial questions, in which we, us KU almost exclusively agricultural country ? especially a country of small farm ors?aro directly interested. Wo do not wunt as representatives political adventurers, foreign or native. We want men owning our own soil, bound to ns by ties of neighborhood and blood?who know us, our ways and our interests. Believing this; believ? ing that nothing is to bo gained by party organization and complicated issues; believing that if anything is to be accomplished some one man must begin and bear the burden of the con? test, I come beforo you simply as ono citizen asking of bis fellow citizens tbeir confidence and support. Tbo argument I wish to make to you I can? not make in this shape without weary? ing your patience. I will speak to you and say what I have to uay, face to face, as soon as I can mako my arrange? ments to commence this oauvass. In tho meantime, I submit myself to your consideration, merely staling the three following propositions as nu outline of the ground I shall occupy: First.?With the Republican party of the Union, I have no controversy. I do not belong to it, but the issues upon which wo hare differed bovo Oar misfortune hoe been that toil ' groat party, with: its. irnmaa?a powen and its heavy responsibility, never comprehended the 'true' temper or the real condition ,ol tlie- ?outb,( for ihp simple reason that since the irar the South has never besot represented in the councils of the nation., I think- , that the polioy of reconstruction was j harsh und.unwise. I doubt if, to-day, any thoughtful Republican thinks 1 otherwise, i Bat it in not Bnrptiai?g or j uunatural that it obould have been sp. At any rate, what has been done, <Jas been done. We have livW?ithro?gb it. What we bavo thi? righrMaBk cf the Republican pirty to??jijH, that what wo honestly are^, thai WVUhall be represented at.Washingt^jaf to fie. v If wo have booomo RopuDlicana, tben.by nil means let oar .representative Kfr a Republican. If we have not, then let the Republican party of the' Union refuse to strengthen the bands of "a faction in the State, whioh, for corrupt purposes and by fraudulent means, stifles the true voice of the State, betrays its true interests and misrepre? sents its real sentiment. This State cannot be redeemed from the hideous misrule under which it is perishing, except by the co operation of the General Government with those who represent, really, its property, its in? telligence and its character. And these two powers will never understand each other until wo have at Washington just such complete and houeat repre? sentation as we are entitled to in a fair election; and it is the interest of the national Republican party, and of the whole country, no less than ours, that this Bbould be secured. Second.?I have no war to make upon Gen. Grant's administration. I do not know Gen. Grant. I have not been iu| Washington since he has been Pre? sident. But I know this, that between you and the national polioy of Gen. Grant, foreign or domestic, there is not a single issue to make you eno I mior. So absorbed have .we been in our own miserable condition, that most of thoso issues have passed as eutirely disregarded, and upon none of them is there room for more than an amicable and honest difference of public opinion. The difficulty between Gen. Grant and yourselves is precisely the difficulty between the State and the national Republican party. A cor? rupt oligarchy, wbo have got posses? sion of the offices of the State, and who, so far, have successfully held control of the mass of ignorant voters who compose the majority, have inter posod between you and him. He is never allowed to hear tho truth. Pri? vate whimperings and public misrepro seututiun color and distort every fact before it reaches him. And I can woll understand bow, with the best inten? tions, an overburdened President is forced to rely on official representa? tion, which, under our political sys? tem, aro almost authoritative. Our official representation in Washington is but a part of the sumo machinery by which the State is governed. Se? nators aud members are made by the same power which makes venal mem? bers of tho Legislature and defaulting County Treasurers, and the sumo in? fluence which corrupts the ballot-box at home closes the door of the White House to you at the capital. Your position towards the administration ought to be one not of pronounced anta? gonism, but of perfect independence. Whoever represents you ought to be free to give to Gen. Orant's adminis? tration a cordial support when he be? lieves it right, and a temperate and re? spectful opposition when he believes it wrong. Au I said before, the political issues which aro coming are not tinc? tured with the bitterness of the past, and should be dealt with on their own merits. It is, of course, desirable that the President should feel and manifest a kiuder sympathy with the dis? tressed condition of the State, and that be should be disabused of the im pressious so persistently and mali? ciously made, that there is an incura? ble personal hostility to him among the people of this State. Bat this you never can accomplish, uuless you can secure a Atting representation :n Wash? ington. Thuid.-^-Lastly, I refuse to acknow? ledge ihe Republican party, as it calls itself, of South Carolin i, as the repre? sentative either of the people of the State or of tho Repabltcun party of the nation. It is simply the govern? ment of a compact and adroit close corporation of oliicc-holdors. I do uot propose to denounce them. Abuse is, iu my opinion, a very inefficient weapon; ami besides, if I wishod, I con id bud no language of such vehe? ment deunuciatiou us tho terms in which they spenk of each oiher. If their present diflerouccs continue, we shall soon kuow what they are from themselves, I shall leave them to write each other's epitaphs. Bat the result of their government, confessed by themselves and open to the world, is before us. The iudustry of the State paralyzed, its oredit de? stroyed, its people demoralized, its character degraded. With all this, we have had nothing to do. We have boeu excluded from power or place, und our only privilege has been to en? dure. Opposition to them is neither opposition to the interests of the peo? ple of the .State, nor to the Federal Administration, nor to the national party wbicii coutrols the Government, but simply tho duty of all men wbo believe that honesty and decency are tho necessary uocompaniments of well ordered government. I believe that there ure men iu tho party wbo are mortified and diegnsted at its reckless I aud ruinous policy; but as jet they have given no evidence of either their power or resolution to reform it. Aud surely no sincere and substantial re? form can be inaugurated by the delibe? rate and fraudulent violation of the law la 0^e^!Jg'lUe;GoQgre88]ea|I Dis? trict, ort)/ for?iug'upon a a cAndidatea ohofloo for ptat services in the dis graopful history of, the party, and who neither Jsharefbar SatecetitB, renepibor opinions, nor represent oar character. I believe thet it is in your power, by a vlgoroqg.aad united effort, to begin the deliverance of the State. Even if defeated now, you can prepare the way for future and certain success. It may very possibly be that I am not the most fitting man to attempt to lead yon. If, after the movement is com? menced, you can find a better leader, take him, and I will be content to fol? low. In the meantime, I shall name as soon as possible the times and places where Ii will address you, and I will be glad of the aid and support of any, especially among the young men of the Congressional District, who may feel inclined to give me their confi? dence and assistance.
