TUB CROP PROSPECT.
Madison County, Fla., June 23, 1863.
jEditors News and Herald :
Much has already been written concerning
the growing cotton crop, and great diversity
of opinion exists as to the probable yield. It
is, however, impossible at this period, oven
with a lull knowledge of the breadth and fer
tility of land in cultivation, to arrive at more
than an approximate estimate. And these
estimates—for ‘here are many—are so influ
enced by ihe local surroundings of those
making them as to be worth very little.
Up to about the 1st of August of last year
we had most propitious seasons, and bright
anticipations were indulged of rich returns
to the husbandman. But alas ! these golden
dreams were soon dispelled by the ruins, the
worms, and the lazy laborers—resulting in
stead in one of the shortest crops ever housed
in this section.
With much less planted this year, the cot
ton plant, as far as my information extends,
is not so promising, although the crop, in
consequeuce of the long drought, is gener
ally clean. Still, with favorable seasons from
this lime on, no caterpillar and a late fall, a
tolerable crop may be made. Bat whether
it will be gathered is extremely doubtful.
There is cotton still hanging on the stalks
of thrown out fields, notwithstanding every
effort was nude to induce the darkies lo pick
it alter Christmas. A sad commentary on
the labor of the present day.
There is little ground for the hope of ei
ther a large cotton erop or remunerating
prices for this or any succeeding year, until
a complete revolution iu labor and general
farm management is accomplished. Hence
the accounts we sometimes see in the News
and Herald and other papers, ot the mag
nificent prospects ahead for cotton planters
are read with grave doubts.
Individual terms, backed by individual
good cheer, do furnish capital themes tor
letter writers. It also not unfrequently hap
pens that a speculator from one of the charm -
iDg staud points discourses eloquently on the

Blackshear, Ga.
Editors News and Hefjnld :
I noticed in yout paper k few day» : ago
that yon wished some person to inform you
about the crops io this county. I will state
in brief that corn is not, primising—cotton
looks well—potatoes are doing finely. We
are at present needing rain very much. I
think there will be plenty of corn made in
this county for home consumption.
We are getting along very well for this
county. We had a revival here a few days
ago in the Methodist Chnrch, during which
a young man from your, city ioined the
membership. We have some sickness in this
connty. Very respectfully, s

Negro Riot In Houston—Fearful Conflict
Arrested,
Tfls Right Sort oft Men.
General Charles P. Stone, formerly * gal
lant! Federal officer, who ban aatiled aue
the | war in Goochland county; Virginia,
where his upright Afid courteous demeanor
has won him many friends, was recently
ajpoimously nominated by a convention of
the Conservatives of Goochland, Powhatan
and Fluvanna to represent their district in
the Senate of Virginia. He declined the
honor in* letter so manly, frank and delicate
that wa cannot refrain from making an ex
tract to illustrate the difference between the
Northern gentleman and .the carpet bagger.
Having thanked the convention for the hon
or of the nomination, and observed that it is
a proud position, when perilous limes come
upon a people, to be selected as their repre
sentative by their free choice, General Stona
says:
certainties of a heavy crop aod low price3.
With well affected sympathy he urges a rush
for the nearest market, and continues this
strain until yonr last bale is safely deposited
in his pocket. Then it suddenly appears
that a very short crop was made, and the
price contrary to the expectation of every
body except the aforesaid speculator goes
up, vp, up, accelerated by daily bogus reports
of the most startling disasters to the new
crop in all ot the large cotton districts.
Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas al
most entirely swept away by unprecedented
floods. Texas and Alabama and portions of
Georgia overrun by armies ot worms so vast
that the locusts ot Egypt io companion
would dwindle down to a littlo Confederate
company io the last days of the war. There
fore any one who should expect more than
a hat-full from either of those States ought to
be brought before the Freed men’s Bureau.
This has the desired effect. The specula
tor is at lust satisfied, realizes, pockets bis
immense gains, and spends the summer in
luxurious ease at some watering place, laugh
ing at the simple credulity ot the planters
and diligently wielding his pen to get thiDgs
in proper train for repeating opera* ions of
tbs previous year.
The corn crop is materially injured by the
drought—especially the early planted, which
unfortunately comprised the large portion of
the crop. Within the last few days there
have been light showers which will greatly
assist the development ot the yonug com.

[Correspondence or tbe Galveston News. 1 tSk
Houston, June 15, 1868.
On yesterday morning (Sunday), about 7
o’clock, suddeu and rapid firing was heard
near tbe market-house, and soon after tbe
fire bells rang alarms, and hundreds of per
sons rushed pell-qaelt to the scene. Here is
the history of the riot so far as I can gather:
George Noble, a Conservative negro, some
mouths since shot aod killed another negro.
He was tried and acquitted, but the negro eh,
generally have been hostile to him ever since 1
he voted the Conservative ticket. At a ne
gro ball Saturday night George Noble became
involved in a difficulty with another negro,
and shot him; he then gave himself up to
Marshal Lord, who placed him in the Re
corder’s office, in the custody of proper
officers.
Yesterday morning a large crowd of ne
groes assembled at the market-house, .and,
it is said, instigated by while men, com
plained that George was not put in tbe jail.
They accosted Marshal Lord, and demanded
to know why he was not in jail, and inti
mated a design to take him out of the cus
tody ot the officers and hang him. Mr.
Lord very properly told them that George
was in his custody and he would put him
where be thought fit. This soon led to a
conflict between Lord acd about a dozen ne
groes, who surrounded him and began using
violence, Mr. Lord defending himself with
his stick. Io the row Lord was shot in the
back of the head, and officers and others
came forward to his rescue. Two negroes
were then shot, one of whom has since died,
and the whole populace were wrought up to
a high stats of excitement.
The negroes dispersed, rang the bell, of
their church, and sent couriers all over the
outskirts of the city aud in the country to
briDg in recruits. The city bell also sounded
the alarm, and the citizsns flocked in large
numbers to the market square. In the mean
time five or six buudred negroes had col
lected at their church, armed with muske'.s,
shot guns and pistols, and avowed that they
would march down town and either put
George io jail or hang him.
Tue Fire Department were theQ armed
and sworn in by the Mayor as a special police
force, and in less than an hour there were
upwards of a thousand men npoo the streets,
armed with guns and pistols. About 10
o’clock George was taken to th^ jail, aud the
negroes being informed of that expressed
themselves satisfied, and soon dispersed.
Hundreds of rumors, however, prevailed,
and a strong and well organized force was
kept under arms all day and all night.
A committee of the old citizen negroes
met a committee cf citizens at the Court
House, to devise means to put down the
threatened disturbance. The citizens were
Messrs. Shepherd, House, Baker, Longcope
and Shearn. There is no indication this
morning of a renewal of the riot, and all ir
apparently quiet.
If the negross had persisted iQ their vio
lence, hundreds of them would have been
slain, and the mean white men who insti
gated them would have gotten their hides
fall of hot lead. Justin. -
THE CROPS IN MIDDLE FLORIDA,
A Jeffbrson County, Fla., June 23, 1868.
Editors News and Herald:
While I cannot say that the crop prospects
iu this county are so flattering as some
weeks back, yet notwithstanding the recent,
aud in leas favored localities, the still pre
vailing drought, the average com and cot
ton crops are decidedly encouraging. They
have that which could not be said of them
the past year when rain was more plentiful,
the merit of having been well worked, and of
being “laid by” comparatively free from
grass and weeds. Ia consequence, very
light and unfrequent showers’ have been
greatly beneficial in keeping them in a green
aud growing condition.
Where farmers have ueglected to thorough
ly prepare and cultivate their lands their
crops in like proportion have suffered severe
ly for want ct Tiiu. A iairt worthy of note
is that corn, planted in hills and covered
with the hoe, and ploughed both ways, has
retained its color and suffered far less than
corn drilled.
The fine, refreshing showers that fell
during the week past, with few exceptions,
were general, and I think will be sufficient
to mature advance corn. I think I may
safely estimate that taking into considera
tion the fact that the freedmen have all
planted “patches” io corn, and worked them
well, tbe aggregate corn crop will not fall
far below that of tbe past year.
The cotton crop looks promising. The
plunt is unusually small, owing to the cool
nights protracted late in the spring, causing
lice, &o. It has now a healthy and thrifty
appearance, and is growing rapidly. The
stand is good, and has been kept in fine
order, and should none of the fatal disasters
to which it has been so subject for the last
few years, befall it, we may confidently hope
to make a splendid crop.
4 severe and destructive hail fall last week
iu the vicinity of the Aucella River, result
ing in serious damage to the crop3 of several
of our largest planters—leaving scarcely a
leaf on cotton. f
In conclusion, let me say for ’the encour
agement of all, who I trust may imitate their
wnl
‘It is not to be supposed that it can have
been a perfectly free choice in this case. It
is not to be supposed that in a Virginia
senatorial district, comprising three large
counties, a free choice should set aside all
the gentlemen who were born and bred in
the district, and who have lived honored in
it from youth up, and select one, who,
while yielding to no one in a sincere and
earnest devotion to the welfare, and in desire
to protect the rights and advance the in
terests of the people ot tbe district, yet hta
been a resident in it only two and a half
years; one who was born a Yankee, in Yan
kee land, and who looks back to five genert -
lions of Yankee ancestors, glorying in the
lineage. Public duly demands of a man that
he shall, if necessary for the public good,
sacrifice everything that is his, save his self-
respect That can never be required, aud if
required, cannot be yielded.
“I should lose' miue did l accept a public
trust not freely offered, and climb to office
by reason of the present peculiar condition
of public affairs.
“While, by its Constitution, our country
claims to be a free republio, resting upon the
cons nt of the whole people, no voluntary
act of mine shall appear to admit that it is
not one—and it would be apparent, should 1
now be selected from among my peers for
the trust in question, that one strong point
gc verniog the choice is my mere ability to
freely take an abominable test-oath which
disgraces tbe proposed Constitution of the
Slate, rendering ineligible large numbers of
the mo9t honorable and most trustworthy
voters and tax-payero within its limits. J
can never accept office under such condi
tions.”
A Movement Looking to Italian Imml
gration to Middle Georgia.
Some very short time ago there was in Geor
gia, unnoticed and unknown, a highly intelli
gent and emiuent gentleman of Milan, holding
official relations with the Italian Government,
lie had travelled over most of the South on a
tour of observation, having for its purpose the
selection of a point in the South best adapted,
by soil and climate, to the silk cuture, with a
view to the transfer of a large body of immi
grants from Lombardy.
He liad been over almost the entire cotton
region, meeting with favorable conditions at
various points, but a stronger combination.of
them in Middle Georgia.
Here he found.the best conditions of climate
for the worm, and of soil for the production of
the mulberry, upon which it feeds. He did
not find much of* the Italian fruit-bearing mul
berry, but they are to be found here, and they
develope with remarkable rapidity. Middle
Georgia is also an olive producing climate. We
know one olive tree in Macon twenty-two years
old and in tiue, healthy, bearing condition.
There are others younger, and the olive can be
produced here in any quantity.
The object of this movement is two-fold.
The one is to find an outlet to a redundant pop
ulation. Lombardy, on an area of 6,270 square
miles, mountainous in parts, contained in 1856
a population of over three millions, or 480 to
the square mile. Georgia has about sixteen
people to tbe square mile. Lombardy is the
most crowded audJbe most productive portion
of Europe.
The people are said to resemble the English
in their abearance and habits, and they are at
the head of the column in industry and thrift.
T his little State ot Italy produces atMW&lly silk
to the value of fifteen millions, seven millions
worth of cheese, 33,000,000 gallons wine,
800,000 bushels wheat, besides ric?».cQrpi pota
toes and live stock in great quantities.
But they are getting crowded, aud need re
lief by immigration. They desire to find a
favorable spot in which they are accustomed,
and Middle Georgia is the place.—Macon Tele
graph.
What a rebuke this is, remarks tbe Balti
more San, to the tribe of adventurers, nil
merou9 as the locusts of Egypt, that have
overrun the whole South, absorbing all the
offices, and glorying in that which should
be their shame. Most of these birds of prey
migrate to the South for no other purpose
than to gerge themselves upou what the bat
tle has left- Not a few of them have left
their own country “for thtir country’s good.
Instead of being ashamed to “climb to office
by reason of the present peculiar condition
of pnblio affairs*” they would be ashamed
of themselves if they neglected the oppor
tunity. It is not, as a general thing, for the
distinction of tbe offices that they care to
have them, but for the emoluments and
stealings, though they are some who really
seem to thiuk that an office confers honor,
no matter how it is obtained. General Stone
deserves the thanks of his own section for
giving the South at least one specimen of
true, self-respecting Northern manhood,
which has long been disgracefully represent
ed in the official vampires who are rioting
in the life blood of tbe Southern people.

A Yoirxa Lady Literally Torm to Pieces.
—The Rochester Democrat, of the 12th, has
the following: ; - '-L
Two young ladies named Hiebert, yesterday
morning went riding to the bay, accompanied
by two gentlemen, each of the couple having
a horse and buggy. In the evening they re
turned to the city, and drove up to Wilder
street, where the young gentlemen got out of
the carriages and went into a drag store to see
friends of the party, leaving the ladies in charge
of the horses. A gentleman friend came along
about the timS an d> * n a pl&y’fel maimer,
