We learn i that t lie re is no longer any difficulty in obtaining board for female pupils, but that they can 1 readily be accommodated iu private families on i reasonable terms. i The Abbeville Male Academy is too well i known to need a word of commendation from 1 us, at)4 ?'l who had an opportunity of attend- I ??.v.

Various opinion* li?ve been expressed in rcgnrd to the cause of the sickness which affected so innny of the visitors Bt Willinmston, on the moining after the Fancy Iiull, of (lie Inst week. The public mind is still undetermined, though it fow days we uuppose, will furnish full and satisfactory information as disclosed by chemical analysis of the Stomach of the bov Lewis, which has been sent,to Columbia, to test the presence of poison. It appears that- about sixteen persons, white nnd black were affected nt the time and that t wo deaths have occurred. Hut. a* the symptoms of Choltra J for bit* and n poisoning by Arx<>nio. are very similar, it is ditTicult. to determine the character of the disease without a I'homical test. The attending physicians were nf opinion that the deaths did not result from poison, but could readily be accounted for otherwise?Mr. B. M. Ciikatiiam. a worthv eitir.cn of our District, had long beCnln delicate health and hud commited an imprudence in diet sutlieient to have produced his disease, and the hoy Lewis hud refused to put himself under medical treatment. We find the following paragraphs in ourCollumbia exchanges: A number of the attendants upon the ball, given nt Williamson were seriously affected l>3* something either in the food or drink. The cases have buen so numerous as to warrant the suspicion that poison was used. We are informed that a Mr. Client ham, a gentleman about forty-live years ot age, frinn near Abbeville, has since died from the cll'ects. AI >. a free colored burlier by the iiauip of Louis Green formerly from Suintei, but late of this place, has also died. There are various and conflict* ing rumors; some persons asserting that there must have been poison, others being positive that the malady was t'lttiti'il by a too free indulgence in the great quantity of fruit provided. We shall await further and more definite information?Carolinian. We regret to learn that (hp company at tlii.a popular summer report. becoming alarmed at sundry eases of piekness which occurred ofter tlie late hall, made a regular s-tampede from there yesterday morning. There win quite a number of the visitors sick atul one ot tlieni. Mr. Clivalliam. of Abbeville, is sinced^ud. The barber at the Fprings is also dead.

The New York Journal of-Commerce publishes its usual annual statement of tlic Cytton crop of the United Stales for the year cudiutr August 31 st, 1859. compiled from the tables of the New York Shipping and Commercial List, which have been recognised for many years a? Bole authority on this subject. The total receipts of cotton at all ports for the year were 3,851,481 bales, being 323,630 bales larger than any previous crop in the history of the country. The largest previous crop was in 1855-0 : the crop novgjj^pinpleled shows an excess of 737,510 ov.?M- th^prfvious year (1857-8) and 91 l,9t>'2ov?r the crop of 180C-7. Of the total there were received overlain! 47.175 bales at New York, 29.403 at Philadelphia, and 8,683 af Baltimore. The crop, as made up above, comprises only the total received at the sealioard ; to which must he added (he estimated Southern consumption to make the total production.? This brings the total yield of cotton for the last year up to 4,017,Of)0 bales, against 3,347.000 for the tireeedinir vi-nr. It will lie interesting to nolo the variation in priocs of cotton for the last three years. In the year beginning Sept. 1st in 185G the highest price of middling upland in Ihid market was 16J ami the lowest 11J cents. That year opened at 11 J, and with slight fluctuations prices steadily advanced throughout the year, the last two months ranging from 15 to 15}, which was the closing price Aug. 31st. Beginning at 15} ceuU Sept. 1st, 1857, the market through the full months (the season of finan cial revolution) was mostly nominal, and on Jan. 1st, 1858, touclicd 8}, a fall of nearly 50 per cent. It then almost immediately recovered, running along up to 12, ond ranging from 11} to 12}, mostly 12Jal2} during the remainder of the commercial year. On the 1st of Sept., 1858, the market opened at 12 J, touched 13$ before the close of the month, fell to 11$ in November, recovered to 12, Miers it remained most of the winter, ond has ranged from 10? to 1 *2} ever since, closing at II}, Sept. 1, 1859, but now drooped to Uf. The pros pects for the next crop arc now quite favorable, and if no early frost intervene, we may hope for nu increase oven upon the lnrge total produced the lust year. s5 LOUIS NAPOLEON'S POLICY. It seems to be the general impression that the French Einperor hui long ago matured n jrent plan or series of plans for the regulation jf his European policy and that every step he lin? taken from the war in the Crimea to the peace of Villa Franca, has tended either direct ly or indirectly to their consummation. An able writer in a lat.o nunioer of Blackwood's Mngnzine, attempts a solution of the Napoleanie policy, and attributes to the French Etnperor, tlie design by short war* and Hihtlc diplomacy to aggrandize France, by hii attack upon the rivul Powers, separately and in detail, having previously estranged their ul lies. In other words ho enters like a wedge into Europe and splits up its States as ho desires.?Having brought the Russian war to a conclusion by a secret and friendly treaty with Lhe Crar he crippled Austria bj' localizing the Italian campaign and inducing Russia to keep iff Northern Germany and to sow dissensions in the Danubian provinces.

I have no reason whatever to doubt there being better diggings in the Middle or south Platte than there are here. One thine certain, it will not do to believe everything Mr. They-say says, for They-say is the greatest, liar we have in the mountains. We have sent a man out of our party to the Colorado, and when he rnturria we will know of a Iruih whether Lhere is or is not gold 011 the Colorado, If he says that it will pay a pound per 'lay to (he man, we will vamoose (his place and go over ; but if he says there's nothing there, we will be content to work here at and ?10 per day."
