The Ootton Supply?American and Foreign Production. An able report was presented to the late Memphis Conven lion, oh tbc subject of the world's cotton supply, and the question of labor and immigration, which gives a very hopeful view Df the future of tlio cotton culture here and tho maintenance of tho prosant high prices. The report shows clcarly that in the East Indie?, owing to a difficulty in obtaining any tonure of the soil, the insufficient transportation, tho tropical climate, and other causes, the production has 6teadily decreased from 1,840 648 bales in 18CG to 1,420,576 in 1868, and is still decreasing. In Egypt as great difficulties exist and whilst in 1864-5 tho 3-ield was 404,411 bales, last year only i93,035 wero im^ortcfi into Great Britrin. from tho "West Indies and South America, tho supply only reachcs % fbw hundred thousand bales, and the annual incr-easo is so small that it ;annot amount to much. Another consideration which must lion ?? 1 ? " *^ 4 ?- * vuiiuuw tnu vuiue 01 American jotton 18 this?that whilst several parts of the world supply the long staple" and India furnish enormous qualities of tho "short staple," the United States produce the "medium-," md most necessary kinds, which are ised almost entirely for the warp or >x(Onded threads, the warp or filling jeing of other and less ct ,.y grades.

Labor is the great desideratum, and tjieso are the inducements which yrc offer to the immigrant: "Improved lands can now be had in any of the cotton Stntes at prices varying from ono to five pounds sterling?five to twenty-fivp dollars?per acre, and farming utensils and work stock can bo pi}rcht>sod at fair prices.

New Postofficcs in this State. "At Abbeville, Abbcvillo County, tt i? i * 1 a. tana jul. uiwuu, 1k19 ul'fli UppUIUlCU Postmaster, vice II. W. Lawson, i*emoved." The foregoing paragraph which we extract from the Charleston Courier, announces a change in the Post-office at this place, which is as unpleasant as it was unexpected. ]^Ir. Lawson was emphatically "tho right man in the right place," universal!}' popular, and as acccptablc to the Macks as to tho whites. As an evidencp of this, we may adduce the fact, that only a few months since, when there were vague intimations of the removal of our postmaster, the blacks voluntarily got up a petition in his behalf praying his continuance in office. And if qualification for office could ensure it, he would be our postmaster still. lie is a man of integrity, liberal, patient, pairs-taking and obliging.. If.there is a man in our community or elsewhere, who is his superior in tho possession of these qualities, wo would be giKu iu v^uu^i nuittiu ^ uut II in, ior [DC office pays badly,) but ourselves and friends on bia nomination.

I rejoice that I am able to report that wp aro ON THE MEND and new evidence of the excellence of this town have developed themselves since my last communication. The argument in support of this assertion is after this fashion: as an individual is never wiser or better, than when he knows his icnoraneo or denravitv. bo w A / ' it is villi a community; when it knows and acknowledges its guilt, it is the best evidence ofenlightonod conscience and is apt to repent; but as fallible creaturcs we are prono to extremes, and are therefore admonished not to bo "righteous overmuch." Such extremists you will find in every community, even the best, and serve only to prove, rb exceptions, tho moral toue of tho mass. In your last i6Buc one of these unfortunate creaturcs reveals himself. A pliarisee after tho strictest sect of the pharisees, ho can see no excellence in any thing but himself. Evcu the most innocent amusemonts, a merry laugh or a smile are, evidences to his conscience that the town is a pandemonium?a doomed Sodom, and all church privileges and educational facilities are false synonyms of vice and pravity. He says "much is wanted to be quickly done" in our neighboring towns of Ninety-six and Cokesbury? a "big job of it"?and unless "moralized iu6tanter" they are irretrievably lost.
