THE COTTON CROP.
A correspondent of the New York Herald
writing from Atlanta in Monday’s issue
of that paper, gives a careful estimate of
the present cotton crop. We have not
space to present the .entire article, aud
therefore give only the following summa
ry of his views aud speculations:
The writer says: “On tlie whole a
larger area of lanu was planted in cotton
this year than was last year. Not in ail
the States, it is true, hut in Alabama,
Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee,
aud probably Louisiana, this was tlie
case. If the boll worm and caterpiilar
had not committed their ravages and oth
er sources of injury had remained away,
the crop might have touched 2,750,000
halts.”
He then describes the injuries done by
drought, by tlie caterpillars and by the
disorganized state of labor. He says :
No matter how Radical letter-writers
declare to tlie contrary, it is undeniably
tiie fact that tlie uegroes do much less
work now than before the war. There
are too mauy political meetings to attend
aud too many jealousies betweeu tlie la
borers for anything like full crops to he
made. The system of hiring bauds to
work on shares is bad and lias proven so.
If a planter employs fifty uegroes to work
for oue-half of tlie crop and oue takes ill
or goes fishing, the chances are that the
remaining forty-nine will ahaudou work
because of tlie übsent one. Tuey argue
t h it if they do not work the loss is theirs,
forgetting that the heaviest loser by ttieir
idleness is the owner of the land. Nor
are the planters wholly blameless. I haz
ard tlie assertion that 30,000 bales of cottou
will be left in the fields ungathered iu
Georgia, Alabama and Floiida the pres
ent year. Ou many of tlie plantations
where the caterpillars were particularly
destructive from thirty to fifty pounds
per acre of tlie staple can he obtained, but
not the slightest effort is being made to
gather it I know of oue gentleman in
Alabama who has 120 acres which will
yield probably twelve bales if the cotton
was gathered, and yet he informed me
that he would not trouble himself about
it. If the negroes chose to pick it they
could do so and have it for themselves.
He was endeavoring to sell his plantation,
so disheartened was he at the heavy loss
he had sustained. Aud there are many
such cases iu tlie Bouth.
To sum up tiie injury done to tlie crop
tlie following estimate will, I think, he
found tolerably correct. In Georgia three
eighths of the cotton planted has been de
stroyed; in Alabama tlie same; in Florida
two-eighths; iu Mississippi the same ; in
South Carolina three-eighths; in Louisiana
two eighths; in Arkansas and Tennessee
the same ; iu Texas one-eighth. In North
Carolina and Virginia hut little cotton is
grown, and iu those (States tlie damage lias
been trilling.
ESTIMATE OF THE PRESENT CROP.
To form a fair estimate of the probable
yield this year it will be necessary to take
a glance at tiie last crop. Tbe ascertained
yield of 1807-68 was as follows :
States. Bates.
Louisiana 579,231
Alabama 300,193
Texas 114,060
Florida 34,039
Georgia 495,1X15
South Carolina 240,235
North Carolina 38,587
Virginia 187,487
Tennessee, etc 374,81X1
Total 2,430,293
Add to tlie above, consumed in the South
and never reported 146,000
Grand total 2,570,293
“The return for Louisiana embraces tlie
yield of Mississippi and part of Arkansas,
and for Tennessee parts of Mississippi,
Arkansas and Alabama, while the yield
reported for Virginia is probably 150,000
more hales than were growu in the State,
they coming from North Carolina and
Tennessee. The entire yield of the South,
however, did not at the utmost exceed
2,000.000 bales, aud that the present crop
will fall short at least half a million I have
uot tlie slightest doubt. Speculators may
endeavor to increase these figures, but the
actual receipts will prove my correctness.
As will beshown hereafter, the fact that a
much larger amount of cotton is being
carried to market at this time than was
last year does uot hy any means indicate
an increased yield. After obtaining all
tlie statistics possible, as well as gathering
a considerable amount of information from
numerous planters, I venture to give tlie
following estimate:
Cottou Destroyed by
Planted. Caterpillars, etc.
States. Bales. Bales.
Georgia 500,000 170,000
Alabama 425,000 125, (XX)
South Carolina- 300,000 100,000
Mississippi 400,000 100,0(K)
Tennessee 250,01 K) 40,(KK)
Arkansas 200,(KK) 40,000
Louisiana 350,000 100,(KK)
North Carolina 40,000 5,000
Florida 45,000 15,000
Texas 200,000 40,000
Virginia 50,000 10,(KX)
Total 2,7(i0,000 745,000
Estimate of tlie total crop for tlie present
year, after deducting 745,000 bales de
stroyed by caterpillars, boll worm, etc., 3,015,000
THE PRICE OF COTTON.
When the present crop first appeared iu
tlie market, cotton was selling for an av
erage of twenty seven cents per pound in
the South. At the North it averaged
thirty cents. Planters took advantage of
these high prices and sold without delay.
Their experience last year, when they
were forced to sell for from twelve to fif
teen cents per pound to speculators who
subsequently ran up the price to thirty
two cents, warned them against delay,
and thus the market was rapidly and lib
erally supplied witii tlie staple. Tiie ef
fect has been to reduce prices, aud at the
present time of writing cotton brings 25j
cents in New York, and an average of 22j
in tlie South. Those plauters wtiose
lands have been ravaged by caterpillars
may not lose money at twenty-two cents,
but they certainly will make but very lit
tle. Twenty-five cents net will give them
a fair profit, and if they are wise they will
refuse to sell at less. Cotton can be suc
cessfully grown with free labor at fifteen
cents per pound, but the crop must be a
full average one, say 350 pounds per acre.
Those planters who have escaped wholly
or in part the caterpillar this year will
make considerable sums of money if cot
tou does not go below twenty-five cents.
Aud there is not the slightest necessity for
its doing so. The last crop was disposed
of in round numbers as follows :
To Europe 1,600,000
Home eonsuiuptiou 1,000,000
lu spite of tiie cable telegrams regarding
tiie enormous yield in Egypt this year, it
is very evident, that Europe will need as
many, if not more, bales from us this
season than tlie above figures show. The
crop of East India cotton is partly a
failure, as is now well known. Besides,
tiie United States will require fully 1,000,-
000 bales for home consumption, and prob
ably more. Looking fairiy at the prospect
then, it becomes evident that there will
be a demand for at least 3,000,000 of bales
and a supply of only 2,100,000, showiug a
deficit of 900,000 'Under these circum
j stances the planters are not be censured
for refusing to sell at under twenty-five
j cents per pound. The advice given to
j them to hold their crops at thirty cents is
! unwise, but they can aud ought to get
! what they now demand.
QUALITY OF THE PRESENT CROP.
Os sea island cottou but little has been
made this seasou. A cousiderable area of
land was planted, but the caterpillars de
stroyed nearly tiie entire crop. As com
pared witii the yield of last year the total
i number of bales tliis year will be about as
given below.
Sea Island Crop. ISO 7-8. 1868-9.'
Georgia 10,114 5,000
Florida 6,264 3>«*oo
South Carolina 4,5?.* 2,.i00
But while the sea island crop is a la
mentable failute it is nevertheless true that
the other descriptions of cotton are of an
unusually fair description this year. The
long liue staple, which will readily bring
thirty-five ceuts pier pouud, has been
more extensively grown than for several
years past and will have the effect of
greatly increasing the money value of the
crop. * Had a little pains been taken by
the planters in properly cultivating the
| soil, the quality would not only have been
1 much better than the best average year,
but the yield u ould havebeeu considerably
augmented, in spite of ca'erpillars, boll
| worms and the numerous other evils
j which have attended the growth of the
j cotton.
The New York correspondent of the
Augusta Constitutionalist writes that
| though all efforts have failed up to this
j time to force middling cotton below 23
i cents, the crisis of the market has hardly
been reached.

colors.
The Metropolitan Police are utterly demoral
ized. Troops have been stationed through the
city to prevent any serious conflict.
Gov. W'armoth lias issued a proclamation re
questing abstinence by both parties from further
public procession- or demonstrations until after
the election.
The negro policemen failing for two days to re
poit for duty, everyone of them have been dis
charged, and about a hundred whites appointed
yesterday and to-day in their places. Many of
them are old members of the force —some dis
charged United States soldiers. To-night t>vo
hundred citizens will be sworn iu as specials and
placed on duly on the streets until tlie force is
complete.
Mayor Conway proposes, in case authority be
given by Council, to appoint Gen. Steedinan tem
porary Chief of Police. Gen. Rousseau's dis
patches are as follows :
Headquarters Department of Louisiana, New
Orleans.—To Major Gen. Schofield, Secretary of
War : I have just received tlie following official
communication, which I believe to tie true, from
the GoY’ernor of Louisiana, and ask for instructions
in the premises:
i%. Oen. L. H Rousseau, Comd'g. Dept. La.:
Grnkrai. —Tlie evidence is conclusive that the
civil authorities in the Parishes of Orleans, Jeffer
son and St. Bernard, are unable to preserve order
and protect the lives and property of the people.
The act of Congress prohibiting the organization
of the militia in tliis State, strips me of all power
to sustain them in the discharge of their duties,
aud I am compelled to appeal to you to take charge
of the peace of these parishes and use your forcess
to that end. If you respond favorably to my re
quest I will at once order the sheriffs and police
forces to report to you for orders.
Very respectfully, your obd’t. servant,
(Signed) Henry C. Warmoth,
Governor of Louisiana.
L. li. Rousseau, Gen. Comd’g.
Gen. Schofield’s reply was as follows :
“War Department, Washington, October 26.
Brevet Major General L. H. Rousseau, Command
ing Department of Louisiana: Your dispatch of
the 20th, forwarding a message from tlie Governor
of Louisiana, and asking instructions, has been
received. You are authorized and expected to
take such action as may be necessary to preserve
the peace and good order, and to protect the lives
and property of citizens. J. M. Schofield,
“Secretary of War.”
The Parishes named by Gov. Warmoth consti
tute the Metropolitan Police district created by the
late act of tiie Legislature. The same act deprived
Mayors and Sheriffs and all constituted civil
authorities of power to act iu tlie preservation of
peace and suboedinated them to the Metropolitan
Police.
In Jefferson Parish, where tlie Metropolitans
failed to get possession of the Government arms,
everything is quiet.
New Orleans, Oct. 38. —All quiet here, and so
far as heard from, Saint Bernard Parish also. Tlie
following proclamation was issued this evening by
General Rousseau :
Headquarters Department of Louisiana, State
of Louisiana and Arkansas, New Orleans La., Oe*
tober 28, 1868—To the people of New Orleans, La, :
Fellow-Citizens: I have had instructions from the
authorities at W ashing ton to take such action as may
be necessary to preserve peace and good order, and
o protect the lives aud property of citizens. As
he city is quiet to-day, 1 think it a proper time to
make the above announcement, and to call upon
the law-abiding citizens to aid me hereafter in car
rying out these instructions; and to that end they
are earnestly requested to refrain from assembling
in large bodies on the streets, to avoid exciting
conversation and other causes of irritation and ex
citement, and to pursue their ordinary avocations
as usual. The Police force of the city lias been re
organized, and inefficient members have been
dropped from the rolls and others appointed in
their places, and General J. B. Steedinan appointed
Chief of Police pro tem. by tlie Board of Police
Commissioners. Gen. Steedinan and his Police
force will be supported by the military ; and as
surances are given alike to tha peaceful and tlie
lawless that everything at my command and to tlie
utmost of my ability, will be used in endeavoring
to obey these instructions. For the present, polit
ical processions and patrolling tlie streets by armed
bands are prohibited.
Signed, Lovel 11. Rousseau,
Maj. Gen. U. S. A., Corn’dg. Dep’t.
The Metropolitan Police Board desired to sus
pend Superintendent Williamson temporarily, but
he refused to be suspended, and was accordingly
tried for an infraction of the Metropolitan Police
law, in dismissing negro policemen without con
sulting the Police Boards. He plead guilty to tlie
charge, and was dismissed. The Board had pre
viously endorsed Chief Williamson in the case for
which he was dismissed.
Gen. Steedman, at Gen. Rousseau’s request, accept
ed the appointment pro tem., on the condition of
being allowed to choose iris own subordinates
The Common Council this evening, passed a res
olution setting forth the unconstitutionality of the.
Metropolitan Police law, and authorizing the May
or to organize a municipal Police under tlie charter
of the city. Mayor Conway immediately appoint
ed Gen. Steedman, although lie had already accept
ed tlie appointment of the Metropolitan Board,
and had been sworn in.
New Orleans, Oct. 30.—Everything is quiet to
day. Geti Steadman last night withdrew his resig
nation as Superintendent of the Metropolitan Po
lice, aud continues at the head of tlie force. To
day an injunction was taken in the Fifth District
Court by the Metropolitan Police Commissioners,
restraining the Mayor from establishing a police
force on the ground that it will bring about a col
lision.
Neyv Orleans, Oct 31. —Last evening, before an
injunction from tlie Fifth District Court was served
on the Mayor, he had appointed Robert Deamond
Chief of Police, with instructions to demand the
office and sue out a writ of quo warranto in case of
refusal. These instructions he has complied with.
Gen. Steedmau to-day tendered his unqualified
resignation as Superintendent of the Metropolitan
Police, which was accepted. George L. Cain, act
ing Superintendent, was appointed Superintendent
protein, of the Police Commissioners of the State
this evening. They iutend to appoint a Superin
tendent on the recommendation of tlie merchants
and underwriters.
Geu. Rousseau, by request, last night visited the
club rooms of the Innocents, the club which was
most prominent in the troubles with the negroes,
and in which considerable feeling still exists on
account of the death and wounding of several of
their members.
In a short speech Gen. Rousseau warned them
that the responsibility for all outrages and disor
ders in New Orleans was laid on his shoulders,
and that he looked to them to keep the peace and
encourage others to do the same. He said lie felt
it his duty to tell them the law must be observed,
and that every man who has the right shall vote
unmolested on the election day. Gen. Rousseau
was enthusiastically received. The Club pledged
themselves to obey his wishes. During the recent
troubles the presence of a few United States uni
forms was always sufficient to restore order. Gen.
Rousseau's force of troops in the city at uo time
exceeded a few hundred men.
From .New Orleans.
New Orleans, Oct. 2.—This evening's Picayune
exposes a swindle in the shape of a circular, de
signed for the evident purpose of creating a colli
sion between the whites and blacks to-morrow,
signed by the Council of Seven. Its Bombastic
tone alone proves it a humbug, though the Repub
lican also publishes it and treats it as genuine,
closing its article with the intimation that the
negroes will not vote to-morrow.

General Orders No. 27
• Whereas, By an act of the Congress of the United
St.tes, approved March 2, 1800, it is made the duty of
tlie military authority to preserve the peace at the polls
at any election which mav be held in any of the Slates;
and.
•‘Whereas, This duty has beeome the more impera
tive from the existing p iliti ;al excitement in the pub
lic mind, irons tile recent organization of civil gov rn
ment, and from the fact that Congress iias by statute
prohibited the organization of military iorcesiutlie
s> veral States of libs Department; it is therefore
‘ Ordered , That the several District Commanders
will, as soou ar practical! e on the recept of tins order,
distribute the troops under their commands ni fol
lows:

In the District of Georgia;
One Company 16th Infantry to Alb my.
One Company 1 tith Infantry to Columbus.

One Company 16th Infantry to Augusta.
One Company 16th Infantry to Washington, Wilkes

One Company V C) stn Cavalry to Athens.
The Company at Savannah to tie reinforced, should

“Detachments, when neces sry, may he made to
points in the vicinity of sach post; hut in no case, nor
on any pretext whatever, will th tachments he sent
wnhout a commissioned officer, who will tie fully in.
structed bv his post commander.
“The troops will be considered as in the field, and
supp i“d with the necessary camp equipage; tile men
to ue furnished with common tents, K practicable, and
if not practicable, with snelter tents. Commanding
oflic rs are permitted to hire qua'ters, temporarily,
wnen it can be done for reasenab'e ra - es; hut this will
not preelue the necessity of carrying tents, as the
commands, in all cases, must be in readim ss to move
at the shortest notice, with a I supplies required lor
their efficiency.
“District Commanders will instruct Post Command
ers in their duties, and the relative po-i ion of civil
and mil tary powers. They wi 1 impress on Post t »tn
manders that they are to act in atd and co-operation,
and in subordination to the civil authorities; mat they
are to exercise discretion and judgment, unbiased
by politica or other prijodices; that their object
should be exclusively ti preserve the peace and up
hold law and order, and they must be satisfied such is
the object of the civil officer calling on them for aid ;
Uiat they must in all cases, where time will permit, ap
p y fur instruction to superior authority, but they
must, at all hazards, preseve the peace, and not t,e
restrained by technical points, when, in their consci
entious judgment, n ider the rules above set forth, it is
their duiv to act Post Commanders, oil being notified
if the proposed holding of political meetings, may
send an officer, and, if necessary, a detachment, to
watch the proceedings and see that the peace is
preserved.
‘To the people of the several States composing the
Department the Major General Commanding appeals
that they will co-operate with hint and tl e civil author
ities in sustaining law and order, in preserving the
psace, and in avoiding those scenes of riot and blood
shed, and the wanton destruction of properly and
lile. which has already, in some instances,fs-en en
acted in this Department. He urges abstinence .rom
ati intiarnmatory and incendiary appeals to the pv
sions; discountenancing the keeping open of liquor
shops on days of political meetings and of election
the abstaining from carrying arms uad asserting tr,e
indivi Inal right of construing laws by force of arms.
No just cause is advanced by resort to vioier.ee. Let
there he charity and forb-arauce among political op
p menis. whaiever may bi the resn i. bet each good
citizen determine that all who. under the law, have a
right to the ballot slia I ex-rcise it undisturbed. If
there a;e disputed points of law, let them be referred
to th- Courts, and let not-mobs or political clubs, or
other irrospous.ble bodies, construe and undertake to
execute the law. This appeal is made in the earnest
hope that (he Major General Commanding can rely on
the good sense and correct judgment of the mass 6f
the people, and that he will not be compelled to resort
t > tiie ex rcise of the power with which he is en
trusted, ar.d which he will most reluctantly employ,
but he thinks it his duty to make k. own that, so far as
the p- w-rund-r his command Will admit, be wi 1 not
permit the peace to fie broken, and that he will not be
restrained in the conscientious discharge < f his duty
by technicalities of ,aws made when tre present am m
alous condition of affairs was neither anticipated nor
