MR. RHETT AND GEN. QUITMAN.
■The apologists of the North, the pence-lo-
Bng “Compromisers” of 1850, have endea
vored to show a “holy alliance” between the
Riief of the Carolina secessionists, Gov. Mc-
Donald, and Gen. QOiTman. No effort oM
the imagination Ims been spared in painting
horrid nature of the “conspiracy” of “Ihe tiV
umviratc” for the destruction of “This
Union.” Barring the delicacy of the
of an acknowledged “political
measuring others by Mr. Cobb’s sM
it seems strange to us that responsible/genttr l
men should have endangered their veracity b#l
making statements that would most certainl/1
be branded with falsehood, and exposed to thw|
eyes of the people as a malicious slander.—-i
But so it was. A “fellow feeling” which ren
ders us poor mortals “wondrous kind,” ena-l
bled the Federal prophets to see dangers that
were gathering thickly in the pathway of the
South, if the dear friends of the “nation” did
not get command of the ship 1 of State. The
“cohesive power of public plunder” drew them
with extraordinary’ strength, into the glorifica
tion of the “government of Washington!”
Lo these many years had they been advocating
the suicidal system of Protective Tariffs, Na
tionul Banks, luternal Improvements, an! a
Distribution of the Proceeds of the Sales of
Public Lands, all of which measures were
the peculiar interests of the North, and op
pressive in their operation upon the South.—
But for the sake of party, they supported all
these principles with hearty good will until
the people put their feet upon the neck of the
hydra, and crushed it.
Not a syllable do we hear now from the Fed
eral press about these obsolete measures.—
They wash their hands of ail connection with
them. They have the same object in view in
the present canvass, that they had in 1844,
when their organs piped the musical notes of
Clay and Frrlinghuysf.n, and now that
Cobb has been converted to the Federal faith,
there is a chance yet for the temporary tri
umph of these resuscitated heresies, if the
sovereign people will only deifiy a majority in
Congress. In order to attain this object, they
preach up “disunion!"’ against the Southern
State Rights party. To sustain their position
they go into a disquisition on the subject of “bu
gles,” to prove that, the instruments now in the
service of McDonald and Quitman are from
the same shop as that which is now playing
disunion changes in South Carolina. If this
were true, there is some consolation in the fact
that even ihe music of such a “bugle,” is pref
erable to the Consolidation orgies pealed forth
through a shattered, shivered, and musicless
Cobb.
Mr. Rhktt’s endorsement of the Southern
Rights candidate-for Governor, is the pretence
under whicl.Ythey make the cho'"” of
Mr\Cobß%
admits that McDonald if not . Disunionist,
and the Governor’s assertion to the same effect.
The following letter will show how far the
Federal presses are to be believed. It is from
a man who does not shrink from un avowal of
his opinions:
“Summerville, Aug. 23, ’sl.
Dr. W. Q. Poindexter, Present: —ln my
hurried canvass, 1 have had only leisure to
read hastily the ‘Union Beacon, Extra,’ con
taining a letter purporting to be written by a
Mr. James A. Lewis, of South Carolina, to
Dr. Robert D. Brown, in which it is stated
that I am urging the secession leaders of South
Carolina by all means to keep that State up to
the rack, to make her secede ; and that al
though Mississippi is not ready for secession
herself, and it will not do for him (me) to take
this stand, yet if South Carolina will only
bring on the issue, he (I) will maintain her.
This statement is not true. Since my nomina
tion for Governor, I have no recollection of
having ever written a letter to Carolina. Be
fore my nomination, in answer to some inqui
ries made by several gentlemen of that State,
I endeavored to present the issues which were
involved in our canvass, and I may have ex
pressed the wish that South Carolina would
not recede from the position she has assumed,
and my hope and expectation that Mississippi
would maintain the position of resistance she
had taken.
I have ever said, and say now, that I main
tain the right of a sovereign State to secede,
and should South Carolina or any other State
secede, I am opposed to the use of coercive
measures on the part of the Federal Govern
ment to force her into the Union; and I believe
that Mississippi will maintain this as her doc
trine ; but I have never undertaken to speak
for her, nor to pledge her to any course of ac
tion. J. A. QUITMAN.”
Now, if we believed that, the Federal pa
pers were disposed to do us justice, we should
expect tosec Gen. Quitman set aright before
their readers. But we shall not. We should
os soon expect the Spanish tyrant to deal mer
cifully with the Cuban captives, as to sec the
brave advocate of Southern Rights in Missis
sippi exonerated from a false cliurgc by the
Federalists. No ; the policy of their press is
to charge, with or without evidence—if it is
proven false, stick to it, swear the harder;
the end sanctifies the means, anyhow, and all
shall be well if the portly form of Howell
gets into the Governor’s chair.
P. S. Since writing the above, we find in
the Charleston Standard, the following letter
from Mr. Rsiett, denying the statements of
certain persons, as to his connection with Gen.
Quitman :
“ Messrs. Editors —A friend has called my
attention to-a letter published in your paper
of this morning,, from a Mr. James A. Lewis
of til- State, written to u Dr. Robert D.
Brown in Mississippi, in which it is asserted, -
“that Gen. Quitman had written letters to S.
(Jarolina, urging them (the secessionists) to
Wp South’ Carolina up to the rack—to make
lß"ecede; and although Mississippi is not
Hi, A for Secession herself, anffilt will not do

H Avill only bring on the rsstie, he will sus
■Mher,” and that • Rhett in his speech near
on the 4th of July, stated that Quit-
BP herd written thus to him.’
Ifchttve never received from Gen. Quitman,
BB am aware of, any letter on any subject
■fjßcver, in my life, nor have I spoken of
on the authority of any letter
i|H him. In reply to the assertions, that all
of the South desired South Car
(Hto submit to the past aggressions of the
(lenerul Government, by co-operating with
the Southern States which had'submitted to 1
them. I have stated that Gen. Quitman', in
iny opinion, was not in favor of this policy—
aud! have represented his policy to be pretty
much as he has laid it down in his letter of the
23d of August, to Dr. W. Q. Poindexter, pub
lished in your morning’s paper. As to Mis-
STSSippiffeceding with South Carolina from the
Union, I distinctly declared in a published
speech of April last, that I deemed such a re
sult quite out of the question, for reasons I
then assigned at large.
Your obedient servant,
R. B. RHETT.

COTTON—REMARKS.
********
The total receipts at this port since Ist Sept,
last, from all sources, are 995,036 bales. This
amount includes 44,816 bales from Mobile
atd Florida, and from Texas by sea ; and this
bring deducted our receipts proper are shown
to be 950,220 bales, in which are included 18,-
Otl bales received direct from Mnntgomery,
Ac., Alabama. This then, would show an in
crease in our receipts proper, as compared with
last year upon the same basis, of 152,833 bales.
The total exports since Ist September, are
9f7,458 bales, of which 582,373 bales were
sipped to Great Britain, 130,362 to France,
m,906 to the North and South of Europe,
Mexico, Ac., and 152,817 to United States
parts. On a comparison of the exports with
t |)se of last year, there would appear to be an
irprease of 185,628 bales to Great Britain, 12,-
949 to France. 21,760 to the North and South
o’ Europe, Mexico, Ac., while to United
Spates ports, there is a decrease of 61,026
The total receipts at all the Atlantic
aid Gulf ports, up to the latest dates received
—as shown by our General Cotton Table—are
2131,464 bales, and the crop, when made up
Ne wYork Shipping List, will probably
rw e nave thus rupidly sketched the course
on the market during a season of extraordinary
vicissitudes, and such a one we hope never to
witness again. In glancing at the peculiarities
of the season, it may be safely remarked that
its prominent feature (and, as the sequel has
proven its prominent error) has been an under es
timate of the production. This,as we have alrea
dy intimated led to the opening of the market at
ukfortuhately high prices, which under specu
lative action were subsequently carried to a
higher point than they have reached since
1839. These under estimates were to a great
ejjor less extent general, and we think it may
s.Jfely be asserted that a large majority placed
t’|e crop at or under 2,200,000 bales, while
the bulk of the business, during the first six pr
seven months of the season, was done upon a
basis of 2,100,000 bales. The estimate of very
few parties were beyond what the actual crop
is likely to be, and these were looked upon as
so extravagant that their opinions provoked dis
cussion and animadversion to a degree that has
given them wide-spread notoriety. And thus
is added another to the many examples of the
fallacy of early estimates of a crop w-hose cul
ture occupies so broad an extent of country>
embracing nearly every variety of soil and
climate, and requiring many months to deter
mine definitely the result. The error has been
followed by most disastrous consequence, but
that those who fall into it (and they embrace
planters, factors and purchasers,) were honest
in their opinions, their own losses should be ta
ken to demonstrate.
In viewing the cause of this astonishing re
action the leading ones, of course, are the un
der estimates of the crop, and the consequent
elevation of prices to what has proved to have
been an extravagant point. But as a collate
ral one, growing out of these, we may men
tion that the entire or partial stoppage of ma.
ny of our home mills, owing to the high prices
of the raw material, and excessive stocks of
manufactured articles on hand, threw an un
due portion of the supply upon the European
markets. Thus Great Britain alone has not
only taken the whole excess of our receipts
over those of last year, but nearly 100,000
halos more, that with moderate prices, would
have been consumed in the U. States. ToGreat
Britain, therefore, the crop has been equal to
one of about 2,450,000 bales, while at the same
time there has been a material increase in her
I imports from Brazil, Egypt aud the East In-
I dies. And besides this ample present supply,
! large estimates of our coming crops ure indulg
ed, which have hud a market influence in the
j depression of prices. Thus once more the spin
ners gain the ascendency, and for weeks panic,
which loses sight of the laws of supply and de
mand, seems to reign in the Liverpool mar
ket. It is gratifying, however, to observe
that notwithstanding the prevalence of com
paratively high prices during n great portion
of the first six months of the current year, the
amount taken-for consumption in Great Brit,
ain slightly exceeds the amount taken Ibr the
same purpose during a similar period last year;
and by the Inst accounts tlife weekly average
had reached 33,000'bales; the highest ratio of
consumption yet attained in the history of the
Cotton manufacture. The following table ex
hibits the imports, delivery stock, Ac., in the
whole of Great Britain, for the first six months,

In France also, and other European countries
the deliveries for consumption exceed those of
last year, the United States being the only
point where a decrease is shown.
* * * In respect to the growing crop, we
make no estimates, but we will record it as our
impression that, while the errors of last year
was an under-estimate of the crop; the error
of the coming one is likely to be in the opposite
direction.
With regard to the market prospects for the
coming crop, we think they may be said to be
fair for ready sales, at moderate prices. In
Great Britain, particularly, all the leading ele
ments of an active and prosperous trade would
seem to be in combination, viz : low stocks of
goods, and of raw material, in the hands ol the
manufacturers, cheap food, abundance of mo
ney, and the world at peace. Already the ra
tio of consumption is greater than ever before
attained, and even a further increase is not im
probable. In our own country, too, there will
soon, doubtless, be renewed activity, as the
stocks of goods, which for a long time have
been excessive, are much reduced, and the
manufacturers arc understood to be without
any considerable stocks of the raw material.
Altogether the prospects would seem to be fa
vorable for fair returns to the planter, even
with a large crop, and the chances are that the
relation of consumption to supply will be such
as to leave the leading markets without exces
sive stocks at the close of the season.
The first bale of the new crop was received
hereon the 25th July, being seventeen days
earlier than the first receipt of last year, and
the total receipts of new crop ujji to this date,
3155 bales, against 67 bales last/year. Ofttti#.

extent of about 2400 bales, at a'range of 8 a 8J

board not cleared, of 14,890 balks, of which a
bout 11,000 bales are in factors’ bands, em
bracing some 10,000 bales of oljl crop, held un
der limits.
SUGAR.
* * According to the statement of Mr. P.
A. Champomier, the crop of 1850-51 amount
ed to 211,203 hogsheads, weighing 231,194,000
pounds. Os this quantity 184,372 hhds. are
stated to be brown Sugar, made by the old
process, and 26,831 hhds refined, clarified, &c
including cistern bottoms ; and the whole is
the product of 1495 sugar houses, of which 907
have steam aud 588 have horse power. The
falling off in the crop, as compared with that
of the previous year, is 25,720 hhds., or 38,-
575,000 pounds.
The stock estimated to be on hand at the
close of last year was 2000 hhds. and this quan
tity being added to the crop, as above stated
makes a supply, in round numbers, of 213,000
hhds. As nearly as can be ascertained the
distribution of the supply has been as follows :
shipments out of the State, by sea, (including
an estimate of 10,000 hhds for the exports from
Attakapas) 57,000 hbds.; consumption of the
city and neighborhood 15,000 hhds.; taken for
refining in the city and State, including cistern
bottoms, 15,000 hhds.; stock now on hand in
the State, estimated at 22,000 hhds.; leaving
as the quantity taken for the West 123,800
hhds. The quantity shipped to Atlantic ports
is about 45,000 hhds. against 90,000 last year.
* * * The market has been character
ized by great steadiness, while the average pri
ces have been considerably above that of last
year. The ruling rates on plantations in Jan.
und Feb. were 4J a 54, in March 4} a 58, in
Aprils a 54,in May 54 a 53, and in June,when
nearly all had passed out of planters’ hands, 5
7-16 asi cents per lb. The deficiency in the
Louisiana crop lias led to increased imports of
Foreign Sugars, and thus we have from Cuba
451 hhds and 39,293 boxes, against 397 hhds
and 18,843 boxes last year. We have also an
import from Brazil of 1334 boxes of 1800 lbs
each ; the first ever received at this port, but
to be followed, we understand, by several other
cargoes. Besides the Louisiana crop, there
were produced last year in Texas about 6,000
and in Florida about 1500 hhds.
With respect to the growing crop, wc have
but a few remarks to offer, it being too early
in the season to orrivo at any thing definite
regarding its probable extent. It is understood
that the severe frosts of November lust, cut
short the supply of plant enne, and thus some
what circumscribed the cultivation, while the
cold spring, and the subsequent long drought,
were unfavorable to the progress of the plunt,
particularly in the upper parishes. Within
the past few weeks, however, frequent show
ers of rain have fallen, anti the crops in most
sections are said topresent a marked improvc-
ment. The result, however, cannot be deter
mined for many weeks to come, and we shall
close these remarks by referring to the annexe#
table, which gives the product of each yea t .

From the best available data, it would ap-’
pear that, (estimating the product of 1 inaphT
Sugar at 50,000,000)- the present
of the tlnited States is about 550,000,000 lbs.”
—equal to twenty-five pounds for each indi
vidual of our population. Os this quantity,
Louisiana and Texas, with their present extent
of cultivation, and an average product, can’
furnish fully 300,000,000 lbs. Besides the
Sugar, there were imported into the United
States, in 1849-50, from Foreign countries,
25,000,000 gallons Molasses, and the product
of Louisiana for the same season was 12,000,-
000 gallons.
MOLASSES.
According to the statement of Mr. P. A.
Champomier, the product of Molasses from the
last cane crop, estimating 50 gallons for every
1000 pounds of Sugar, was 10,500,000 gallons
or 1,500,000 gallons less than the product of
the previous year. This deficient supply has
been productive of a higher average of prices
than has been attained for several years past,
as will be seen by the following table, which
exhibits the highest and lowest point in each
month, for sales on the levee, in barrels :
