THE the lateness of the crops ou account of continued ruins, yet our accounts from quarters arc now very favorable. The corn in many instances has been replanted, but it is novr well advanced, being generally from two to three feet high and growing rapidly. The fields r.re said to be much batter cultivated than usual, and both corn and cotton have generally been worked over twice, and cotton thinned to a stand. The stift'er lands are needing rain in many the surface being baked by the change irom wet to dry weather As a geaei-al rule tlie 'cotton fields have been considerably enlarged, some extending tbe area about one-third more than last year, while the area in com is generally less.

Grant's contemplation, TVC did no mean to charge him -with having made up Lis mind to become an Emperor, i he could but to suggest that the subject was one which had been broachec too often and in too many ways, to escape his attention or to fail to engage his thought.

It is late in the day to think of going back from republican ism to monarchy, we admit, but there are always people in this country who want to wear the old clothes that foreign nations are casting off; and such people are making so much ado about and flattening, or tryin" to flatter, Gen. Grant as to his ties for governing men and the State, so assiduously, that he could not well help contemplating the subject of kwgship. But we do not profess to know, or to behove, cr to imag ne or surmise, that he has corns to any definite conclusion on the question. Smp Cn.u,-3,-EL._The Telegraph of yesterday says Care fiencral a eat oi tne btup Channel Company, is on his rounds collecting the first five per cent on subscriptions to the stocks and bonds We are glad to learri that the subscribers generally are coming tip Kr.il Reconstruction. The special object of soum nations and sections being to make themselves manufacturing centres, to obtain raw material from abroad at low prices, and pny for it in goods at high prices, economists teach that some countries are fitted by nature for agriculture, while others are adapted to man- ifacturc.

This error is one of the greatest that could possibly bo made. It las been prevalent in Texas and throughout tbe South. Cut our people might as well have bolievod that the tlanter should not attend to the picking and ginning of big cotton, or that the wheat region has no use for flour- mills, or that logs should be shipped to a distance from the forest to converted into plank. If, however, It be true that the tlonr- ng mill should be built in the wheat and the saw mill among the jines, it is equally true that the loom hould be brought near the cotton field. iYherever this relation does not exist waste of time and laoor is euor- iious.

It has been stated, truly wo lave no doubt, that there are more abor and the products of labor wasted the Southern States than, would, ten over, convert into cloth all the cotton they produce. That tbe proximity of the manufac- to the producer is favorable to griculturo and generally beneficial, is proved by its tendency to keep up the jrices of ravr material and to lower the prices of the manufactured article and by the thousand advantages -which be secured in no other way than the home market. But every false system contains the seeds of its own destruction and the one by which the North lias grown rich and powerful while the South has jeen kept poor, is about to come to an end. Its destruction will be accelerated by the abolition of slavery, which removes the great obstacle to the combined action of the South and "West, and by the fact that the war created at he Xorth more and greater monopolies had ever existed even there before. The removal of slavery enables the ivorld to see that the South possesses a wealth of soil and minerals unequalled anywhere else, and has also produced a popular inclination towards the development of these advantages.

Emigration must turn in this direction Southern, ports will be opened to the -world, in a sense never hitherto enjoyed by them; tho course of railroads will hereafter be more generally North and South than East and West; and there will be a breaking down of that financial dependence which New England seeks to perpetuate by opposing the distribution of the currency, with the view of retaining an accumulation of capital in the present trading centres of tho country. The movement is afoot. A' struggle between theSTorthon the ono band and the great central, Western and Southern States on the other, is rapidly approaching, one of the results of which will be the deliverance of the South from that commercial and financial dependence which has so Ions: prevented the development of her powers. And if real political reconstruction does not precede, it will certainly follow this deliverance, which we regard as inevitable, whatever obstacles may bo thrown in its way. Sagacious men, who predicted secession and its results with wonderful accuracy, now declare that sectionalism exists at the North to an extent which, unless it be voluntarily abandoned, must within less than ten years from this time precipitate one of the.

most remarkable struggles of our national history. THE Boston Tost is convinced that the entire South is about to start afresh in the race for wealth and power, and predicts that, in the next ten years, this will be the wealthiest section of the Union. It thinks the increase of population in the Southern States during tbe past ten years will be shown by tbe census to bs not less remarkable than for the previous decade, and remarks that "where political power, therefore, is to find its seat and centre, the next census will unmistakably disclose." The Post says it is not probable that cotton will ever again be as exclusively the product of Southern fields as it has been in the past history. The necessity of producing food for a greatly increased population is one of thogrotrads of this opinion, and two and a half to three million bales is regarded as the outside limit of cotton production for the future. How the South is to succeed, the Post sketches as follows: Tho South is therefore to become rich and prosperous by developing immigration and laying hold of the great assisting enterprises of the age.

Establishing direct commerce with foreign ports; laying the rails of an unobstructed road to tbe Pacific: redeeming and securing rich lands that are rendered valueless by iuun dation; encouraging the steady flow of immigration, and diversifying the objects of industry to the largest extent--these are the means by -which that section of the country ia to become restored, and, once restored, to take its place in the Unioa with the influence that legitimately belongs it. Appearances indicate an eariy return of that coveted prosperity, however blinded partizans may cry up the insect rity -which is falsely reported tr prevail. The West and the South together, both being agricultural in their fundamental interests, -will very shortly throw twos thirds of the votes in Congress and these being backed by snch material prosperity and growth as the world never before saw, it is not necessary to emphasise the inference which so naturally follows. THE OLD DELTA TO BE Faust -writes to the Houston Times that it is rumored that a new paper is to be started ia TCew Orleans to fill the void left by the Crescent. Its name is to be The Delta and its managing editor will be-Col.

Durant DaPonte, late chief editor of- the Crescent. It is to be conducted after the fashion of the red hot'' journals of the day, and notwithstanding, Col. DaPonte is a gentleman of great energy and intellect, its career will doubtless be both brief and brilliant. The people are getting tired of the red hot" politicians. Tcins Cnldc Trnilc, Elf.

Tlic Lawrence (Kansas) Tribune of tho 20th says the Texas cattle trade by way of Abileuo, about 159 miles west, of Lawrence, has never been appreciated, and doubts whether it -will be credited in stating that it has been authentically informed that the shipments for last year were 100,000. Another Kansas paper, tho Chetopa Advance, says the trade of that locality in Texas cattle, is daily on the increase, and that its advantages for the business are attracting stock men from every portion of the country. Tbe law prohibits the introduction of Texas cattle into the State between the first day of March and the first day of December; but the Advance saysithey can be held there without expense during either the summer or winter, and gotten ready for tbe late and early markets. "Thousands of these it remarks, "will be driven here this The railroad now in progress from Kansas City-through the eastern border counties of Kansas, southward, called the "Missouri River, Fort Scott and Gulf Railroad," otherwise known as tbe Border Tier 1 road, is under contract to bo built to the south line of the State- by the 15th of October next, and there is every prospect that the work will be done. The Tribune says that ample cattle yards will also bo built "free to all shippers, at the southern line of Kansas, east of tho Neosho river." The cars are now running on this road some thirty miles south of Kansas City the grading is finished to Paoli, about twenty miles further south, and track-laying is now progressing at the rate of half a mile a day.

Before the close of this week regular trains will be running to Paoli. Eighteen hundred men and a corresponding number ol teams are now engaged between Paoli and Fort Scott, still further south anil at one point, seventeen miles south Paoli, the Tribune says a large force is at work, night and day, on a deep cut through solid rock. The same paper says that the won derful energy'shown at present on this road, is a guarantee that the Gul be reached mucli sooner than the most sanguine Iriends of the enterprise could recently have believed. The roac is now doing a very large and increas ing business. It has five engines, saic to be the -finest in the West, four passenger, two baggage, forty box auc thirty flat cars, all new and first clas in all respects.

Major S. Henning, tho Superin tendent, has issued a circular cattle-dealers notice that the road wil be completed to tho south boundary the State by the loth ot October, whe every inducement will be offered their for the shipment of stock by tha line.

Sun says there cannot be larger crop of cotton raised this yea than last, giving as the reason for th opinion, tlie greater scarcity of laboi By deaths and the retiring ot wome from plantation labor, it is estimate that the force now at work on the plan tations in the cotton States is at leas one -sixth less than last year. Immigra tion to the towns to take the places those that die there; deaths on th plantation; and the retiring of from farm lobor, are given as tho lead ing causes of reduction of labor in cot ton culture. In some of the most dense ly populated neighborhoods the fallin off has been at least one-third.

Th Sun says: Few, if any hands have left this sec tiou for of the cotton States on the contrary, we frequent! hear of letters being received from Mis sissippi, Louisiana, Texas'and Arkansas from negroes who have heretofore been induced to leave us, expressing a desif to return, and cautioning those left behind to stay where they are. Our inquiries hare been extended over a large portion of Georgia ant Alabama. What is true of this section applies to the entire cotton growing States. Nothing biit the free use fertilizers and the best success in cultivating the land planted can bring the yield of cotton the present year np to that of 1867, or even up to the yield 3868, which will be all of 200,000 bales short of the crop of 18G7."

BT TELEGRAPH. 4 A 1KH88 I A FROM WASHINGTON. WASHINGTON, April and Creiswell are absent from the Cabinet.

No appointments an absolute ull in politics. Senator Chandler seems to ba unwilling Sumner to bear off all the glories of the ejection of the Alabama treaty. Hence, has given the country the benefit of is views upon the subject. He graciously uggests one mode of proceedure, by vrhich freat Britain may be permitted to make tonement for recognizing tha Confederate tates as belligerents, following, in that aspect, the uniform policy of the United States in her past history, and being sus- ained in so doing by the decision of tne upieme Court of the United States, ia the amous prize cases. The course Mr.

Chander suggests ia for Great Britain to relin- uiih her American Colonies to the United States. A dornand BO very reasonable it 8, of course, to be presumed that Great 5ritain will avail herself of with alacrity. The parties pushing oa our differences with Great Britain think that they can jully her without danger. But it remaini be seen hotr successful this policy will prove. It is a great question, and politicians like Mr.

Chandler, of very meagre abilities, are exploiting it. The relations with Spain about Cuba are more critical than with England. On: secretary of Stato has urgently representoc to the Spanish. Minister the importance the Cuban revolutionists with cartain degree of leniency. Our Consu at Havana, has received instructions to protect against certain- alleged acts of jutrage on Americans, and efforts are making to back up our demands with a strong naval force.

The army and navy ntereet, which has had a good taste of sharp-set for an outbreak with Spain. And die impression is that the President favcrs very strongly what is called a vigorous foreign policy. The republican lenders have succeeded so well hitherto in the use of force, that they think it is a universal medicine good in all national disorders. Conservative ideas and ordinary maxims of prudence are at a sad discount, and we are plunging along at railway speed. How it will all end no one can venture to say.

A snb-committee of tuo Election Committee of the House of Representatives are to set out soon for tho South and West, in search of election frauds and violence. They propose to serve up a dish of horrors from Louisiana, Tennessee, South Carolina and Missouri. It is not likely they will go so far without finding what they want. Their report will prove a very good electioneering document. No evidence will be believed in opposition to the witnesses, who testify what they go to hear.

The sub-committee are well satisfied before setting out on their journey, that it is all honesty and gentleness on the republican side in the Congressional districts they propose to visitrand their journey is intended for the benefit of the confiding people ot the North, who have such abiding faith in the demoralization of the democrats. The number of removals from office is said to exceed anything before known in the same length of time. The amusing part of it is, that far the largest portions of removals are of republicans. To illustrate: in one of the bureaux here some one dred and thirty persons have been dismissed to make way for others, and one of the chief officers in this bureau says of this number not more than twenty-five were democrats. Over a thousand nominations for office have been made to the Senate, in addition to the vast number of removals of persona whoso appointments do not go before the Senate.

It is thought this wholesale removal of republicans will have an important political effect hereafter. This system of removals of partisans of the dominant party is establishing as a principle rotation in office. Office-holders now coming in must look for the same treatment at the next Presidential election, if their party succeeds. Their interest, therefore, in the continued success of their party is much diminished. They must make the best ol their lour years.

They cannot be relied upon as efficient for a party whose success involves their dismissal from office. BAN FHAKCISCO, April fire at the Gold Hill mines continues. Five hundred men are out of employment. LIVERPOOL MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, April Irregular; Uplands 115 tolSjd; sales 8000 bales.

w. TABOR B. r. LUCE. TABOR GENERAL Corninlssiioix MereHairtis, Bryan, Special attention paid to receivine and fonvard- the extensive naval preparations for Cuban contingencies, it is authentically stated that the fleet in Cuban waters will not probably exceed six vessels--two lees than heretofore.

The reduction is necessitated by recent acts of Congress materially res ducinfr the personnel of the navy. Apart from tins, the vessels to be sent to that coast are deemed sufficient for all legitimate purposes. The fitting out of several iron-clads has no particular significance beyond saving these vessels and their ma" chinery from decay incident to idleness. Kellojig has left for Illinois, and Harris for Wisconsin--toe-former homes of the Louisiana Senators. WASnnfGTOir, April W.

press and people of the Old Dominion are now earnestly discussing the impropriety of round dances. The German "shocks the sensibilities of the good dames, who appeal to their daughters to shun its contaminating influences. One lady exclaims in the Richmond Whig: "Maidens, do you not remember tbe time when, if a lover, whoge honor waa as unsullied as his heart was pure and true, if he, in chivolrous devotion, might touch the rosy of your soft, white fingers, he felt himself most honored above mankind And now, oh, grievous truth Oar loveheet and oar fairest are whirled ronnd in the arms of men whose hearts are as stained 'as- thair moustaches."
