Howard Gltsdon. from the September Number of Uppineoife Mag azine. From Houston County. Neae Bteox, Houston Countv, Ga.,) August 23, 1871. > Editort Telegraph and Messenger: Much has been said and a groat deal written about the prospects of the growing cotton crop. It is a matter of surprise to see and hear the stu pid ignoranco manifested upon tho subject. Any pereon tbnt knows anything at all about the naturo of tho cotton plant, (if they have paid any attention to the weather this season,) knows well that it is impossible for any more than half a crop to bo mado in tbis county. In the months of May and Juno and part of July deluges of rain, cloudy, cold weather in tho first part of tho season,'and now, for the last ten days, a withering east wind, and the plant, now at this time, literally parched with drouth, cool nights, and all go to provo that there cannot possibly be more than half a crop of cotton mado this year. It is disgusting to hear men talking about cotton and abont tho weather being favorable, when many of them conld not tell a patch of okra from a patch of ootton. This class of men do not know that ootton is a sun plant, and that it vm in the sbado and drenched with rain dur ing the months of May and June and a part of July, and now, in many localities, the plant has been parched with drouth for the last thirty days. Again, this northeast wind now blowing, and has been for the lost tho days, is pomononH to vegotatlon, as all experienced planters will testify. Thuro is not a negro in Houston county, en gaged in the cultivation of cotton, that has sense enough to count two, but wliat knows more about tha nature of tho cotton plant than the chief of tho Agricultural Bureau at Wash ington. nis reporters scattered over tho coun try, nlno of them out of ten, wonhl not know a good crop from a poor ono. And yet, notwith standing their stnpid ignoranco, this loathsome vermin that swarms over the coantry has much to do in mala ting the pxiooaf osrgnat staple. A planter from Brooks county, Georgia, was in this neighborhood a few days ago, and says ho saw on his way up thousands of acres that will not mnko a tenth per acre. The last ten days have settled tho question in this section of tho country—there cannot possibly bo moro than half a crop mado in Houston, Crawford and Taylor. Lot every planter that can hold his cotton hold on to it indeed like grim death, and when he has to sell, only soli enongh to answer bis present wants, and keep tho balanco under a shelter at homo. It is time that all tho planters shonld pull together—that they should use all the means they hnvo at their command to pro- vent those soulless, heartless speculators from controling tho prico of our cotton.

The corn began to suffer, a few days ago for want of rain, but a day of genial showers has placed that beyond the contingency of failure; while the tobacco is very promising. There are a groat many revivals of religion going on in this section, now confined principally to the Meth odists, while Baptist associations are being everywhere held. Rev. Dr. Rosser, of the Methodist Church, is now preaching here, and is one of tho most distinguished ministers of tho V irginia Conference. He proposes making a tour through the South soon, Macon being one of his objective points. Rev. Dr. Barrow.*, of Richmond, Va., has consented to dedicate the new Baptist Church in Eufanla, the first Sabbath in November.
