In his letter making the above announcement he ably defends the position assumed in his letter of ac ceptance, notwithstanding that posi tion was generally condemned. Gen.

The Savannah Republican copies in full the Annual Report of the Cotton Crop by the New York Shipping List from which we deduct the following : E'timated totol crop for 1809, is 3,114,592 bales. Total crop of 1868, 2,209,557; increase for ’O9, 854,035 bales. The amount of cotton con sumed in the South in 1865, was 60,- 010 bales; in 1860, 54,000; in 1807, 11 ,• 05 ; in 1808, 74,898; aud fertile yav beginning Sept. Ist, 1809, and ending Sept. Ist, 70, there were 79,- 843 bales consumed. 'I liese figures show the entiie amount consumed ex- cept that taken in the interior of tho cotton growing States from the plant ations for domestic use. Tho reader w ill perceive from the above figures that there has been an increase, not ody in the production of tho staple every year since the war, but also an i icreaae in the home consumption. Indomitable energy, and not ready capital, Ims brought about this result; for it is well known that a large ma jority of those who were fortunate enough to retain a little cotton until tho close of the war, after having con tjibuted all of their financial effects to the- support of that war, either let their cotton go for tho payment of old Northern claims, or it was expended i replenishing devastate ! homes, wieek td farms, stolen stock, etc. Another omen of a gradual rising from the ashes of poverty is, that reports come to us from West to East of an abun dant corn crop, which of course will diminish the drain on us for provis ions. Radical rule has not lulled the e:n rg es of the ! outhern p o e in 1 they arc fast approaching a time when taey can assert an independence that will be equal to, if not superior to po litical independence, and which, sooner or later, will force political indepen dence. The New York Herald has re viewed the situation, and thus speaks of the material and political effects of Sdaiftem industry : “This is the beet kind of reconstruc tion. It knocks the pins from under the Congressional ultra Radicals in tio most effective manner. Lt shows that the recuperative powers of the t-muth cannot bo too highly estimated, and that when the energies of her pci pie are rightly directed they are ici tain to achieve signal success. The i cotton crop of 1868-09 put the South erners on their feet; that of 1809-70 '• ill set them fairly in motion on the high road to their former pro-perity. »uj thermore, it is gratifying to know t-hat the Southerners the present year have raised an unusual amount of vora and wheat and other substantial! products, and hence will not have to ! purchase so heavily as heretofore from the West ami North They will thus be enabled to hoard their surplus, so that in a lew year-, if Providence con tinues to smile on their luxurious soil, they will have the satisfaction of know ing that they possess in abundance all that man cun expect. To Southern energy, then, rightly directed, we say God speed.
