Below will bo found Section Direc tor Bauer's wcokly crop bulletin for tho past week from one or more cor respondents in each county of I lie State : "Tho week was favorable for cleaning crops, and there is but Initio complnint of grafts. It was also favorable for growth, and all crops, with the excep tion of cotton, made satisfactory ad vance. Farmers are well up with their work, and the agricultural situation is very encouraging a* far as promised production is concerned. Corn was novcr inoro promising generally, although on sandy soil, in a few counties whore there bavo been ex cessive rains, early corn was slightly "yellowed," and two correspondents reported corn "firing." Lato plant ing has n good color and is well culti vated with enough moisturo to muko continuous and rapid growth. The reports on cotton are lees favor able, especially during tho early part of the week, but latterly an im provement was noted. Iiico and cool nights retarded the develop ment of cotton, but with the |L\cep tion of small ureas, where stands wero killed but, no permanent injury is ap parent. Lice Boomed to bo decreas ing at the end of the week. Tho plant turned yellow and tho lower leaves dropped oil' in Kershaw, Wil liamsburg, Florence, Lexington, Orangeburg, Berkeley, Chesterfield, Colleton and Spartanburg Counties, lbist and shedding in a few localities. Cotton continues in advance of the season. A correspondent of Anderson has kept a record of first blooms for a long series years and reports the ear liest bloom noted in former years on Juno l.'l, 1848. This year on June , 7th; in Kdgcficld the lirht bloom noted rui June 8d, the average time June lHth, and so throughout the State. In some portions nearly full grown bolls are noted. In places the plant iff large, but not fruiting well; it is gen-r erally putting ? on weed freely aiuj fruiting heavily. While cotton has de teriorated during tho week it is still in fair condition and lately im proving. Wheat and oats threshing uotiring completion, with generally fair yields of tho former and poor of tho latter grain. Reports on tobacco showed a dccidt d improvement in enrlv planted, whi<h in portions of Florcnco will soon be ready to cut.

Tho march past, alignment, etc., wcro good. Tho general nppeurauco and bearing of tho cadets during iuspeotion woro vory good. Tho arms were in very good condition ? cleaner than usual in rimilar institutions. Tho uniforms, as a rule, wcro clean and neat; tliero were soveral pairs of soiled gloves noticed. Tho get-up of tho cadets was notice ably good.

Each acquitted itself with credit; all movements wcro executed without an error in command and with commendable accuracy in detail. Tho only deficiencies uoticcd were of the kind that practico and drill will speed ily correct. r The sotting upoxereies woro well dono; tho command was not prepared to go through tho bayonet ex erciser. Each captain was required to drill hia company through tho closo order movemouts of company drill, in cluding tho manual of arms; each did well? no deficiencies ofauy movomont were observed. Thero han been no drill in tho extended ordor; it will be taken tip latter.

Tho graduating class was assembled and questioned ou tho course. Tho result was not as satisfactory as tho proficiency in tho practical course led mo tooxpcot; this featuro of the mili tary department needs more attention and requires more time for its proper development. Captain Fuller is exceptionally well qualified for his duties by nature, ex perience and profost-ional Attainments. Ho has boen handicapped in his work hero by frequent and somewhat prolonged absence on duty, none of which, however, could havo been avoided, except the detail with tho South Carolina Military academy lust summer. lie should not l>o detached for such work for this school does not stop operations during the summer. Tho session begins iu March and continues until tho '20th of Decombor; for this reason this intditutiou should not ho inspected in October or No voinbor.

I had intended up to a short timo ago to a/tk for tho nomination at I ho ensuing primary , but havo concluded not to cutor tho content.

It is apparent from these advices that I must antagonize those with whom T have co-operated politically sinco 188(5. It seonis that tho entiro mnohinory of tho party govornmont has boon organized to hunuliato, defeat and destroy mo. This would uot havo boon done but for a misunderstanding of my motives iu opposing tho equal division of delegates to tho Constitutional convention, the de fense 'of tho narno of Uutler in tho con vention, my opposition to the plan of sutYrago an adopted and tho uncom promising position taken by mo in op position to a bolt in tho late State Democratic convention.

Illlustraling the mind's training, a Southern paper tells of a little girl, 4 years old, who hapjvenod to be sliding on the Ice, when sho suddenly fell heav ily and was evidently badly hurt.
