THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, MAliCH 17, 180G. THE GREAT COTTON QUESTION. Facta ni Figure Begnrdlng; the Crop for I SCO rrodacllt 1'ower of the Sooth IIew M aoti Cotton OAnbi ttaUefl 67 spvelsllouo to lrubbl fi-lota. from the Ntw Orlcnnt Timet. Cotton tiw bocome a word to conluro wl',h. riutus whispers it on 'Chabtu, anil tho wholu commercial world becomes excitod. Many there are who think of nothing else. They tailr of the fleecy labile when awake, dream of it wh-u afiWp, turn it now into greenbacks, now Into coldfc and bow build witU it all sorts of cast Pm In tbe uir. The cotton ron of 180.) was 5,3i(!,8.i7 balo, of which about one-fourth was consumed in this country, leaving the balance, worth at thf old an!t helium price nbout one h.incln-d and sixty n.illienR of dollar, to lake tbe place of specie in our foreign exchange. It Is not wou derltil, then, that cotton is rejranled as a pr. duct of great importance, and that in tho future, as In the past, it in cxpectrvl to occupy a promi nent position iu our Industrial and commercial statistics. Much pprculation exUts ai to the probable crop of 18ti. Borne look for a crop of three millions of bales, while others again are tar more moderate In' their estimate, placing tho prospect ivo crop at a million r a million und a halt. These dirfetencei of opinion arisfl Irom the diJlercnt viewa enterta ned tnuchine the productlvo Ta'.ue ol free and slave labor. Some think that th lreedaiam will oe more effective than 1hc slav as an agricultural producer, while others tniajjino that he will be almost worthless. On tin subject we have been tarorel with eomo eulculations; made by a keen stalls leal friend ot ours, which wo thiak are well worthy ol beitia seriously pondered. The data cauuot certa'iilv be iiuc-tioiied, and allot' our readers are at liberty to lunge for rbenuelvcs ot the con elusions arrived at. It the Usurps and deduc tions which we are about to offer tend iu any Dianner to harmonize coinwrce, and check t lie wild ninnia of hazardous speculation, our aim will be accomplished. Nuuteions cotrevpondtmts, who appear to be Interet-ted id lowering tho prico of cotton ncv held by th producers of tho South, coolly stat-) that all the negroes have gone to work with enercy, and that consequently the cotton crop of the present jear cannot be less than 2,500,000 or 3,000,000 bales. Persons who inako such statements cannot have visited the outskirts of this and other Southern cities, where negroes by thcusauds congregate, and are living' in com parative idleness and destitution. There are in this city at present not less than 7f,o;)0 nc.uro men and women, who have driited hither from tho rural districts in order to eujoy the imaginary ease and pleasure of city life. A similar story may be told of every city and town from the ' Potomac to the Rio Grande, and the total number thu drawn away Irom agricultural employments Is indeed enormous. According to our friend's statistical table there were about 4,000,000 slave in the South at the commencement of the war. It was the custom in ancient times to estimate one-teut'a of every nation or tribe as warriors, or persons capable of bearing arms. Taking this as a basis of calcula tion, there wpre at the beginning of tho war 400,000 necro men between tho aces ol eishteen and lorty-tive years. Of that number, 200,030 entered the army of the United States, but the word and dhcaso reduced their ranks to 100,000. Since the elope of the war many of these have keen disbanded and pene to the North and Wed. The remainder are in the army still. Of the 200,000 who aid not enlist, some perUhel in the Confederate service while enyased in erecting forts and digainq; trenches; 100,000 are now to be found in towns and villages throughout the South, employed on board of rteariibnats, in hotels, or placing the part of independent freed- pen. Ot the balance, 2 .0(i0 removed into the Elates where cotton is not produced, and 75,000 (remained at home on the old plantation', and most of them may now be found in the held at Iwnrt. I Turning to the opposite 6ex, we find 400,000 Dec. ecu me unes oi viguireu ana ioriy-nve years. And how shall wo account lor them? Go, ink-shedding Bohemian, to tho coat ol Caro lina and Georgia. Follow the train of General Bheiman's grand march from the sea to Atlanta. Go to Mobile, Nashville, Memphis. Vicksburg, (savannah, Jackson, Baton liouge, Monroe, Shrcveport, Alexandria, and this citv. Visit the gravevards in our towns and villaaes, and ask who sleep there. It will be easy to account for the disappearance of 100,000 neero women poor, ignorant creatures, who left their homes to follow triumphant armies, but perished of cold, hunger, and lalicrue ere the bliss of Ireedom be came theirs. We are speaking now of grown-up women. The children who lbllowed tnetn tell by the wayside, and slumber in unmarked, uu consecrated graves. To seek guarantees for their promised Irccdoni. 26,000 have gone North, East, and West, and 123,000 are about towns, citfe, and villHue0, washiug, cookinr, or following fur less creditable occupations. This would leave 150,000 efleclivo female laborers in the rural dis tricts. Of boys and girls between the ages of ten and eighteen years, there are, perhaps, 120,000, half of whom are cither employed or are loitering about towns and villages. We have, therefore, of available cotton raisers: Negro men 75,000 Xadfh wnninn Itll ftnrt fj Negro boys and girls 00,000 Total 2S5,0o0 We must now take into consideration the number of white persons who will devote their attention to cotton raising. In tho cotton States there were about 250,000 white men at the com mencement of the war, who, it so inclined, .Tniffllt. hi) vft rinvnt .rt tlilr atfitnttnn trt 4ha vu i u- i ing ot cotton. Of this number 100,000 have peen killed or disabled during the war, but their places have to some extent been supplied by the crow lb of bovs. We think that it wniild he a I large estimate to allow 200,000 white laborers I for the cottonffflelds during the present season. If so, we have a total effective torce of 486,000 cotton raisers. The next question is, how much cotton can we reasonably expect to be raised per hand ? Statistics show that iu 1840, with a torce ofGOO.OuO laborers, our crop was 1,800,000 bales, or three bales per hand. When the laboring force doubled between 1850 and 18J0, the crop proved to be 4,500,000 bales, equal to 3 bales per hand. What, then, sha 1 be our estimate for the present year? We must remember that there is a scarcity of stuck and ai'icultural implements; that fences, gin-houses, and habitations need repair; that lood must be provided; that much ot the rich cotton lands alontr tbe Mississippi are not yet redeemed Irom ove.flow by ths rebuilding of broken levees. Our dependence, for a croi must refrt chiefly upon tho highland farms, which are far less product ve than those of the lowlands. All things considered, we cannot expect more than three bales per hand, which would yield 1,400,000 bales in all. Now. if it be contended that this estimate is below the mark, the roadsr will please remember that we have made i.o calculation for the labor which must necessarily be devoted to ether crops suar. tobacco, and rice, for instance nor of that which will be turned to mechanics ant stork raising. These cmpUnmcnU will certainly absorb all that re mains of the physical, laboring power which the Southern Smtes can at present boast. With ail ticse tacts peiore us it wouta do vain to ex pect a cotton crop of more than a million and a ban oi pates. Let not the commercial and manufacturing woild be deceived by the loose calculations ot Freedinen'a Bureaus, or interested speculators. Nor will it do to base an argument on tne amount on hand at the close of thg war that was made up irom the savings and hidings during live long years from the torch man and the plunderer. Thefewba es that the p'autcr now has he should not sacrifice at existing rater, lie neod not be friubtened by a nisht mare crop of three million bales. No Buch crop will be produced either this year or next. Whai ill be raised in isoo we win not pretend to sav. t is enough at present to know that we cannot raise a crop exceeding 1,500,000 bales this year. and as tbe demand tor our staple will be much erea'er than the supply, the price will assuredly dvunce. we stake our proiessionai reputation n the correctness of our general conclusions in flic premises.
