The Greensboro Herald of Thursday, says : During tbe past week, we have met many of our most extensive planters from different j0Aiouh of the country, all concur in tbe be lief that the cotton crop will fall considerably abort of their expectations two weeks since. Some are complainiug of the rust, others of the boll-worm. At present the indications are, that tbe county will not average more than half a crop at best. The worn crop is by no means to be considered good. The Editor of tho Americus Courier h§ been viewing the crops in Marion aud Web ster and other counties. He gays : “Cotton generally is not making. Very few blooms could be seen even in large fields. The ground is also well sprinkled with forms which havo fallen off. Very little fruit on the cotton of many fields, aud where the rust has taken good hold, the cottou has ceased to bear. The crop is necessarily largely cut off. Not more than two-thirds of a crop on an average can be made. This is our conclusion from observa tions in Snmter, Houston, Crawford, Webster, Marion and Lee. The corn crop, on an aver age, is only medium. On some farms tbe corn is excellent, ou ethers it is poor. The section of country over which we have passed will not make more corn than will be needed to sup- K rt the plantations. The surplus one farmer s will be needed to supply another’s defi ciency.

Whilst I always condemned social ostracism a puerile weapon of political warfare, snch was my faith in tho integrity and uprightness of your motives, that 1 was disposed to apolo gize for your course (in that particular) through the campaign of 1867-8. And yet, whilst this was so r I could not close my eyes to the fact that the social position of many who honestly udvocuted Keconstruction, on the basis of universal suffrage, was quite as good, it, iudeed, not better than that of many ur own leaders. You, however, seemed to tliiuk differently. Like many others, you lent your influenco to this childish, and, I must say, stupid scheme of electioneering.— You eudeuvored to lessen the personal and so cial influence of those who honestly differed with us iu opinion. This you did by covert flings ut their personal character. You at tempted to create tbe impression abroad, that no white man in Georgia who becatn^ the po litical associate of Col.

Their positions certainly were not nviablc. The Presidential office aud the person filling it gradually became so isolated and above the people that the masses knew as little of their President na did tho President directly of those whom he governed. Iu setting the example of taking advantage of tho lull of public business during the vaca tion of Congress, in order to recuperate his faculties for the resumption of the busy sea son of tbe Congressional term, President Grant certainly acta wisely. At tho same time he mingles with his fellow-citizens and learns their wishes and expectations, and, in fact, becomes what it was formerly but in the ory—a citizen President. Therefore, to say tbe least, tho irresponsible reflections, unfounded in fact, passed upon his brief sea son of relaxation with hia family, are ungen erous. It certaiuly would bo better at once to advocate a decree of incarceration in tbo Presidential Mansion ut Washington, District of Columbia, for four years, unless sooner re lieved by ruined health, broken energy perhaps a more serious cause.

The recent exposition of textile fabrics Cincinnati revealed nu unexpected develop ment of manufacturing industry throughout tho West uud Sooth. Of its growth iu tho West, iu forms as multifarious as tho wants of tho community, the country gout-rally has not been uninformed. The occasion of surprise is tho degree ot cxcolh-nco to which tho pro duction of textilo fabrics has boon earned, and tho amount of capital invested i facturing enterprises m a section which, ac cording to vulgar belief suffers from a chronic scarcity of moucy. The wonder would be i creased if au opportunity were afforded for t display of Western manufacturing industry a whole. Its diversity and extent would show that a vast and ever-growing market is coming losa and less dependent upon East sources of supply. Tho progress tf the Bouth in tho same di rection is moro remarkable because effected under most disadvantageous circumstances, It is but just emerging from a condition which has been marked by many difficulties and al most unparalleled depression. Tho war left the people universally poor ; their poverty in many districts reached tho verge of destitu tion. Their labor system was disorganized, their land devastated, their nvuilablo property destroyed. It is creditable to them that amidst strong political excitement, uud in the presence ot many causes of discouragement, they have addressed themselves with rare en ergy and perseverance to the reconstruction of their shattered fortunes. Applying themselves to hard work, they have won more than bread ; they havo realized an independence to which they wero previously strangers, and are manifesting an enterprise ahich assures to them a prosperous future. They are, as they never were before the war—out of debt. They aro alive to the importauco of turning to ac count tbe varied resources which make their region, naturally, tho richest in tho world.— And for tho fir»t time in their history they propose systematically to supplement the cul ture of cotton with its conversion into manu factured goods. Tho immediate result was seen at Cincin nati. Tho association under whose auspices the exposition in that city was conducted, in its reported resolutions, spoke of “the unex pected and varied excellence of the goods sent from tho Bouth." A tabular statement published in tho same connection shows that Georgia alreudy has 21 cotton mills and North Carolinn 17; Virginia and Tennessee have each 10; nnd Alabama, Bouth Carolina, Mis sissippi, Texas and Arkansas all have more or Tho totnl is considerable. Aud it only the beginning of a movement tho growth oi which will bo coexteusivo with tho wealth acquired from the crops. Before the war, the planters’ surplus was invested in slaves. Now, it finds us way into manufactures, which promises henceforward to he the pop ular form of investment. Tho Bouthcrn peo ple propose to bo their own maunfucturers. not unreasonable despondency has been i ceeded by an equally reasonable confidence, and they are ou tuo road to real indepoudeuce. Tho trading ;>o iticians by whom tho South is ufllicu-d are no longer able to rej hop« lul, buoyant spirit. It talks cheerfully, and through channels not favorable to i colored views. Even Bouth Caroline, which tho few remaining fire-eaters of tho Press lavish their sympathies, protests that, tho darkest days are over. “It is not true," the Charleston News declares, “that there is any prospect that the lower sections nt tho Btate will bn abandoned to tho lingroei "Throughout the Btate tho pooplo i fideut nnd cheerful. Wo havo uioi money than wo had in i860, and, in every senso of tho word, Bouth Carolina 1ms made us much progress since 1865 as has boon mad by any ouo of her sister Btates." Tho Now Orleans l'ionyntie, glancing ove tho South generally, is yet moro emnlmtio : “Men everywhere throughout tho South aro looking hopefully into tho future, nnd se.« iu the teeming fields and prospective lmr vests salvation frrtrn the ominous clouds that have hung nlsivo them since tlm demon of war Swept from them all snvo their lauds. The philosophy of tho gratifying change is expounded with unwonted candor by the Mo hil* Hogister- a journal which was rash enough the other day to threaten a now war unless Democrats bo allowed to control tin elections. “Tho excitement of two trying elections,” it now confesses, “lias boon passed through ; the farmers havo bocouie settled, and tho treodineii are, as a very general thing, working pretty steadily." Again, Wo are in formed by tbo sninn authority that “ thy plan ter is now better paid for hiscro|>siuid is more independent of ins factor than evor before." These are important facts.

Dr. llooten** Infirmary for (las 111!ml We, a number of Dr. Uooteu's patients, whose mimes are appended to the communica tion below, mode a contract with tho Daily Constitution, Atlanta, Georgia, to publish said communication iu that paper. It was put iu os an advertisement, and paid for advertisement. It appeared iu tho morning editiou of August the 11th. Iu that issne we are caused to make the following remarkable statement: “Awaro that thoro uro many per sons who are ussiduously engaged in the effort to create agonoral impression that Dr. llooten is a ‘humbug.’ and his practice a moro faroe, thereby preventing, as far as their influence extends, those afflicted with diseased eyes from ooming to him for relief, we, a con venient number of his patients, impelled by a sense of justice aud gratitude to Dr. Hooton, and of duty to our fellow-sufferers, take this method of placing before the world our united testimony on this most important subject, but circumstances do not afford present opportunl- <y." (Italics notin Constitntion.) The original copy made tho above sentence close at the word “subject,” thereby making good sense, aud ruling out all possibility of contradiction and absurdity. Tho words in italics above, con stituted tbe latter clause of the sentence that stood immediately below the one ending with the word “subject." In the original, it read (has: “There are many other patients who ould gladly add their names and testimony, but circumstances do not afford present oppor tunity." By the foregoing mutilation we were presented iu a very unenviable light to tbe public. Feeling the awkwardness aud injus tice of oar position, we at onco made com plaint to one of tho proprietors of tbe Consti tution. Upon comparing tho mutilated print ith tho manuscript copy, he expressed strong sense of regret aud disapprobation on account of the blunder, stating, in effect, that were thereby paraded in public print set of simpletons. He readily agieed to re publish tho communication, audset the whole matter right. No editorial notice having been given of the first publication, upon spe cial request of the same, he agreed to give a prominent editorial call to the corrected in sertion. The correction came out in the “Supplemental Sheet" of Sunday morning, August 15th, instant, which was devoted strict ly to advertisements. In the rogular daily in which the bluudcr was committed, and tho injustice done, no notice whatever is giv en that a correction has ever been made.— So in the records of the Daily Constitu tion of August tho Uth, 1869, according to the substantial admission of one of the proprie tors, wo stand filed as a set of simpletons, without tho least intimation that wc had .sense enough to perceivo the wrong douo us, or tho courage to dc-tuand its rectification. There wo*, however, a notice inserted, which we give below, at the head of tho correction. Wo give it in tho exact construction, aud exact connection given it in tho “Supplemental Sheet.” In that notion it is stated that there whs “an accidoutal omission," and that '• from that fact a false or incorrect under standing of tho matter ” wan rendered. A moro glance nt said notice detects n careful evasion, on tho part of tho Constitution, of nil responsibility as to authorship of tho omis sion, and of the (also or incorrect impression produced in its columns. But since tho Con stitution was bound by every consideration of simple justice, aside from tho high promptings of magnanimity, to assume at once all respon sibility of its own errors, and to confess to all “false or iucorrect understandings” created by its own “accidentalomiRsions ;" and since it has evaded nil obligation in this plain mat ter of duty, it thereby makes the impression by insinuation, to use no stronger term, that tho responsible party consists of tho getter-up of tho communication in question. Tho bur- dau is thereby eased off tho shoulders that ought to bear it and placed upon tho inno cent. A true sense of gratitude for any favor shown to us, some of whom have been blind, and now see, and all of whom havo been deep ly afflicted with disease of tbo eyes, as well as a true sonse of justice to the Constitution, impel us to state that, in mukiug tho contract with that paper to publish the matter iu ques tion for us, it was generously agreed to do tho work at half advertising rates. This favor. granted upon tho considerations of our affliction, and of our defraying all expenses of advertising—Dr. Hooton having had nothing whatever to do with tho matter from the be ginning to the end. Wo hereby record our appreciation of this kind act; yet, wo might possibly bo justifiable in fueling that a satis factory balance hud been struck with us on this item, iu^lio fact, that when wo made ap plication for immediate correction of errors, we we re deluyod by tho Constitution for the insertion of other pressing ndvcrtisomeuls, a number of days, to suit tho convenience of the paper—tho favor ol granting us half rates iu advertising, with tho idea added that tho Bun day morning edition would give the matter r much wider circulation, beiug made tbe basis of tho delay. With tho contract to advertise, we also con tracted for twenty copies, at half price, of the daily containing tho communication. We pur chased theso papers with the express design of sending them off to persons whoso eyes are afflicted. Upon seeing the havoc that had been nmdc, wo promptly returned each of the twenty copies taken out, nnd secured the promised miUstitutiou of uu equal number containing tho corrected matter. Wo received the second twenty according to ngieeuient ; but there wero only uino copies of the supple mental sheet to tweuty copies of tho daily ; and tho corrected matter was published in tho “ supplemental shoot" only. Wo, therefore, received bnt about one half the num ber of corrected copies that wo hud meted for, arid had hoped to send to suffering friends. It is fair to prosumo that the sumo ratio of supplemental sheets to the regular daily sheets obtained throughout tlm entire circulation of the Sunday issue under inisiderntion. This consideration, with the ilditioual one, that there are a great many eraous who would give no attention wh.itov- r to a purely advertising sheet, who would •ud editorial notices, and tho advertirtotneuts to which attention had thereby been called, makes the presumption justifiable that not more than half the number of readers who saw the mntilsted editiou, have seen the cor rected. Had a proper notic* boeu given in tho regular daily ill whioh the error occurred, >1 had the proper number of supplemental shoots containing tbe advertisement been ■applied, tho matter would have boon piuised over in silence.

Our action applies sim ply and only to the oase in hand, being do- signed to plaoe ourselves and our cause right before the public. Those of u* who aro well acquainted with the Constitution, regard it one of the very bust of newspapers in the whole country. We would not detract a mite from its very large circulation; but would re joice rather in jte increased prosperity.

Aware that there are many porsoue who are assiduously engaged in the eff rt to create a general impression that Dr. Hooten is a “ham- hug," aud his practice a mere farce, thereby preventing, os far au their influence extends, those afflicted with diseased eyes from coming to him for relief, we, a convenient number of his putiouts, impelled by a sense of justice aud gratitude to Dr. llooten, aud of duty to our fellow-sufferers, take this method of placing before tho world our uuited testimony on this moat important subject. There are many other patients who would gladly add their names and testimony, but circumstances do not afford present opportunity. It is but proper to state that we put this communica tion to press of our own accord, without giv- iug the slightest intimation of the same to Dr. Hooteu. We fully believe that Dr. Hooteu is all that bis circulars, and other advertisements repre sent him to be. lie is candid in his opinions. He will not promise more than he thinks he cau perform, nor dotaiu persons on expeuses unnecessarily. Fortheieason that it would require too muuh spucc lor the present pur pose, we omit in this paper to give the histo ry of individual cases. We could give a num ber that aie really wonderful in character. We persons have come here to the Infirmary who wero blind for many yours, that now see. Several have been entirely restored - many others are now uearly well—aud almost without exception, all who have been under treatment long enough to be fully impressed by it, are making good im provement. We hereby earnestly invoke all philanthropic persons seeing this statement, to givo it as wide a circulation as possible for tbe benefit of their suffering race.
