The tlaiu truth of the bittiness i., that thbfo' Whs ocvtr been a Jay since the close of the war that the race i--ue was Dot sharply and clearly defined. There has never been a political cam|aigu, however insignificant, that this unfor tunate question Was not prominently in view. This statu of things may ho de plored—nay, it tx deplored hy every good cilixen —but it* exislnncc is riot to he denied. \\ c venture to s.-y that them is not a State, nor a district, nor n counuuni'y within the borders of the Isle Confederacy where the i—uc be tween the races Ira* not played an im portant part in every political contest and we venture to say, furthermore, that there is no seetii n in the South where the whirrs have not endeavored to conrillinte the negroes--not mice nor twice, but over ami over again. They have been told that tin ir votes were merely aiding the carpet I aggers to impoverish th counliy ; they have lioen approached—as in S. nth Carolina —with the most liberal impositions, they have been furnished with the most convincing pro T that their w hite leader* w --re uitig them as un.-u | r eting tools to accomplish the ruin of tire country ; they have been swindl'd by the stilish political incendialies who professed to be tln-ir friends, and their hard rt>* have been gobbled up by adventurer Hut what is the result Vhy win'. t! is, that wherever a man ' ' be Annul win is cninisei! to ' 1 '• In .n not lhat li* known to be a thief and i knave por is it of any eorscqucnce tvheihet he i- | opposed to a good 11 1 has only to anputseCr himself as the on emy of the white wenple to bring every colored voter to his mi| port. It is no- ; thing to tlii'in that tin 1 Stun-.- are di~ s tablinliril ami trade prostrated , it i- no thin" to them tlnit thieves are placed in power—that c-niinunitii-.- are op pressed ami rolihcd—that taxation is carried to the point of confiscation. They arc either too cnrele's to appreci ate or too ignorant to comprehend the extent of the disaster- thus brought about. Tin ir only ih -ire to exercise the right of sufier n'o -reins to spring from a acoaolcM idea tlnit they are railed up on as freemen and voti r t-;i opj -c eve ry movement of the white pic, Can a mote deplorable ,-tstc of affairs be imagined:* Here arc two race* thrown together hy Pros idenee, the one endi .iv ©ring to wort nut t! c dilli Milt probh m of rehabilitation, and the otiiei feel ly endeavoring t-> on ik ■ ut the more dilli rnlt problem cf freedom.

A TALK WITH OUR COTTON * HEN Till! COTTON rROsIWCn ANI> Tlir. Hi rst• NISS otTLCK'K. Below our readers will find an able article which is the result of a talk of the editor, of the Savannah Nvivt, with the Colton Factors ill Savannah. The article speaks for itself, and is cn* titled "A talk wirh our cotton men,” ‘•The cotton prospects and tho business outlook,” * • * • * • tiik nun- madk. The belief was general among these gentlemen that the crop was made; and was now beyond all injury unless we should be visited by a severe storm, in which event mme damnngu would he done. The plant, however, cannot now he harmed hy loi-ccts, drought, or ordinary rain, nod the crop tbioughout the emire region tributary to Savannah is represented to bu in a flourishing condition. About one-half, probably more, of the Imtlom crop lias been gone over once, and the middle crop is now being picked; on the clay and pine hinds the top ciop is considered entire ly sale. The cry of rust which recent ly i an'ed some alarm, was occasioned by tlie cotton in some sections turning yellow, living prematurely exposed on account of the leaves dropping early, nod while in soino quartirs rut hud appeared it i not apprehended that any mii'uis damage w - the result. Along tho f-aiauunli River the crop is uuumi aliy fine, whilst on the belt bordering ihc t'entral Railroad, it is believed the yield will fall short a half or tt.ird of what was anticipated in Juno. All are unanimous, however, that tho crop hi Middle ami and Southwestern (ieorgia ui,d in Florida, the section tributary to ■ ur port, will equal that of last year, notwithstanding the acreage Is lees' Thisisthe belief although there arc con- tinting teporls, but the simple fact that one planter has failed to realize accord ing to Ins expectations, should not be taken as a criterion that those in his vicinity have likewise Lien disappoint. id. A case in pi iut : One of the fue -11 is with whom we conversed staled that he had r .‘reive 1 a letter, a dry or two since, from a patron in Tlioinna county, staling that he would not make a ha if crop, and alh ging the drought, insects, etc , us the c.use. I’ho same i mail brought this firm a idler from a planter in the same county, and in the j ; neighborhood of the former, k u Utw , any thing? lar;- r lima that of | tin: preceding year. With these con-j fliiting statements reconcile-], and in '('.‘injunction with the numerous gratify mg reports, our factors feel no hesitan cy in expressing the belief ihat the crop w ill be a good one. KMTMATK.S. \\ c found that in estimating the yield of the entire crop there was: re markable unanimity. The highest es timate waa d,Hd*>,Out) bales, but in the opinion of some seven or eight the crop will not exceed three and a half million of bales, the average being 3,'_’ofl,ooo. Some however, incline to the belief that it will reach 3,7uU,tnJU bales, but will not go over this. till; BU'XIITSOK s tv tss MI, it is confidently believed, will execd those of the past year and w ill reach ful ly 700,000 liales, possibly a few thous and hales over, but ibis figure appears lo be consult re 1 about correct by the majority. It is anticipated that the re ceipt* for the next two months will be in excess of those fur the cnrros|iouding p.-riod last year. Ihe crop was Homo what later than the last, but shipments have heel! freely made, and the receipts at iluio arc lurger than at this time in the season of I*7l’ TIIK A UVANt s S. tu planters on the present crop by Sa vannah cotton factors consisted princi pally in acceptances, and these amount ed to less than onc-fourtli the advances made on the previous crop. Very lit tle rash has boon loaned, partially for the reason flirt money was exceeding ly tight when it was most needed, and planters, realizing this, refrained from pre-sing llnir factors, feeling that it would he meless. “Indeed," said one of those gentlemen, “I am prepared lo s-rrt that less cash was advanced to the planters last season than Ins been the cn-c in a number of years." On tin- account it may safely he assmned that the rONOITK'N tu tut I'I.ANTniS ,s far better than it hi- been at any pe riod since the wtr, not exoopung the “big year" of I*7o. Reliable infor mation shows that large corn and grain er-ij-s have been made; that the planters are comparatively free of debt, that many have made moat, nnd in fact that numbers of ihe plantations havo been seif sustaining. Therefore the cotton crop is a surplus crop, as it were, and the sale of it will enable the planter to finger more eri-p notes as net profit* tlisn he In had the opportunity of do | ing in 10, these many day*. The tin . jority of them have been sparing in the : purchase of prepared fertilixcrs, and have contented themselves with ntilix | ing the farm products, heuco the mak ing of this crop lias been less expensive to them, and they will be enabled to realixe a very handsome profit on their labor, even should tli.-re be no advance io prices. A gentleman connected with n firm, who run several plantations on their own autouDt. informed us, as his cspcriancc, that 121 cents lor low mid dling cotton would return the planter a very neat profit- If this is tho ease with one, there is no reason why it should not he general, and as there i no immediate probability of cotton go ing below tlieso figures the planting fraternity may rest ensy. In regard to PUICEB, there appears to he aorno diversity of opinion, whilst some opine that low mid dling will not fall below the present quotations, lli, more than three quar ters of a cent, and that the prospects are that during the afason prices will ad vancc a fraction over 15 cents; others predict that the market will average 11 cents, and others slill that prices will fluctuato In tween 18 J and 15 cents. It would seem then from this that opinion favors the prediction of 15 cents as the approximate price This price obtain eJ, all unite ia asserting, the planters will ho, in the mtin, sufficiently inde pendent to start and complete the next crop with very little, if any, aid from tho factors One of our frienls ra marked thst they would be better off if ( cotton did not go above 15 cents, than I if the price ran up at 25 cent., for th c reason that the high price would tempt many to give increased acreage to the staple, neglect grain crops, run in debt for supplies and at the end oftlie year would have to purchase every thing ; j the in created yield would ter.d to de ! orease prices, but even should it not, I tho largely increased expense of the planters would swamp the profits. At| 15 cents the cultivation of colon is profitable, provi led as has been the case this year, sufficient acreage is de voted to the grain imps. TIIK HUMANn at present is good ; but tho prompt • ness with w hit'll the cotton is being shiped, enables it to be met without * affecting the market. It is estimated that about three-fourths of the cotton ! sold in Siivaiiuali thus far lias been sent j lo New and ork to cover futures lbr Hep | tember, and that these orders in the j main have kept up the demand. Tho market iu>w is heafihy and there is a j fair call Ru low m’fl'lliiigs ; no mate rial change is anticipated in prices tin til the New V"ik exporter! go into the market shortly, w hen there may ! be a slight advance. THE HL'SI.NKIH OUTLOOK, for Savannah is very encouraging: and in cotton circles a brisk season, and prosperous times are anticipated with confidence. Willi cottor nmoving ivc j ]y and the free cireula ion ol money ! j which attends it, business in all bran j dies will revive and an active time I will he the result The indications ( are, (provided receipts continue at tho present rate), that hy the first of No ; veinher Savannah will have received I 130,00 i hales, representing over ?7, | 000,000, which large amount, distribu 1 ted through the channels of trade, j will render money matters easy, stiniu late business, anil give new life to our commerce. The prospect is a pleasing ) one, all things considered, and wo pro diet that the close of the ye n, should no unforseen calamity meanwhile befal us, will exhibit a mark- I increase in the business of our city. | The September Cotton Report. r WAS It I N'iT“ N , Sept 11, I*7l ! Tho September cotton returns of the Department of Agriculture show a ve ry heavy decline in the prospects of the cotton crop in nil the States except Virginia, where it is about its own ' The crop of Virginia, however, is ton small tu exercise any appreciable influ ence on the general r-ult. 1 he *S'!-*te averages are as follow- : Virginia !I8; North Carolina *7, a decline oi 15 ilur ill" August; South Carolina Ml, a de cline ol 17, Georgia 77. a decline of 17; Florida 77, a decline ol Alabama si, a decline of P; Mi-si-sippi 7.5, a de cline of II; Louisiana 112, n decline of ■_< 1; 'l’exa-til, a decline of 11; Aikan sis 47, a decline of I"; 1 ruinesseo I*, ! n decline of 85. The leading cause of this decline is found in the prevalence, over large sections of cotton area, ol ~-vero drought accompanied by intense heat. In many localities hot winds have parched the crops, and in one or two .'uses destroyed it within a hall hour Several oouotiw report no rain for four or five months. In many easc tho ton crops are entirely destroyed, the bolls hiving all fallen; the middle crops were also badly in;ured. In a few localities general rains have made fine crops, hut the number of Ikvored spots is very small. Iu the Atlantic cotton States c.i'-d 'ght- and heavy rains ats alleged in some counties as the cause of the decline. The dn ught has prevent ed the increase of insects depredating upon ci 11 n hut they are reported in very few counties, and have been no wh- re very injurious. Tho Effect o! Camphor on Seeds. Sumo etirioos and all but forgotten ex pcnmen'ii of ninth interest to agricul ture and gardening, observes a London paper, have lately • can revived hy a Merman savant. Very many years ago it win discovetrd and recorded (hut wa ter atunrted'" r TrTth camphor had a re | markable intbisnce upon the germ ins lion of sends.
