Owing to the severe drought of the present

TILe Cotton Crop.

travelled recently for eighty miles along the
lire of Sherman's march, and not a bale of cot
ton, or a git, ore house, had escaped the torch
In all that region, but it was only twenty miles
In width, and constituted but a small portion
of the State. There is nearly a fall crop left
in Georgie, and this, at two or three times the
old prices, makes a handsome cam for our im
coverithed people. The average crop Is about
four hundred thousand bale for the State, nid
111X)000 bales were within the limits when the
war closed.
South Carolina II smeller thou Goggle, and
Shern.an'a march was through a larger portion
of her territory, but two tuudred thousand bales
are yet to be found within her limits. The
burniog of cotton at Selma and Montgomery by
Gen. Wilson and the Confederate authorities,
was more destructive than the meagre of Sher
men In Goggle, but aoo,ooo bales will be car

The production of Florida is email, end from
Leulniana and Arkansas, a large
part of the cotton had been transported before
the close of the war. Tahoe four States will

of Tee, much of the cotton had found au
outlet through Mexico, but from the middle and
northeastern portion, the production had bean
large, and neither the Federal nor Confederate
forces had destroyed It, so that two bhp
di ed thousand bales will be furnished from Mils
State.

The present years crop will add but little to the
resources of the Southern States. Rice came
too late in the season to induce plantiag, and the
low price of cotton, compared with corn and

STATIOSN'T OF MOS. CL1.701.

Buchanan; reccollect of her being with Mrs.
Grinder; called to see her on her sick bed, on
Saturday evening before she died; stayed with her
about an hour, Mrs. Grinder was sitting beside
the Tire; the girl said she did not stiffer much
pain, except a continual burning in the stomach;
she also complained of headache, and
had an inclination to throw up; Mrs.
Grinder told me that the doctor (Dr. Sterrett)
‘..id that the girl was pregnant, Mrs. Grinder
said she summed the pregnancy was through
young Roberta, and that het stied was so sdee.
led by him betraying and alighting her, that it
had caused her sickness; Mr. Roberts came In
while I was there, bat Mrs. Grinder said noth
ing to him while I was there; I left Mrs. Grind•
er, Roberts, and the sick girl in the nom Next
saw Miss Buchanan on Sabbath day, between
three and four o'clock In the afternoon; M re.
Grinder was with her alone when I went in; the
girl was worse; she was heavy, stupid and in
dined to dose; Mrs. Grinder said
nothing, lea seemed to be surly, and did nut
want-me to talk to the girl; I roused her np and
talked to her; I alluded to the condition she was
In (about her pregnancy) and said I was sorry
she was in that condition; she raised her ryes
and told me that "she thanked her God that
there was nothing of that kind the matter with
her." She said there had nothing wrong
passed bet weer thani. She complained of burn
ing in the stomach and headache. Mrs. Grin
der still said, in speaking of her, that Dr.
Sterrett had stated that her pregnancy and the
state other mind consequent upon her aciuditton,
had caused her sickness. Mrs. Grinder did not
want me to talk to the girl, and appeared to be
in a very bad humor. I Sid not remain longer
than half an hour. In the evening Mrs, Grinder
came for me, and told me the girl was dying. I
went in about half-past seven or eight o'clok lu
the evening, and found the girl perfectly stupid.
I could nut rouse her. Put hartshorn to her
note, clapped my hads and ehook her, but could
not rouse her. Staid from one hoar and a half
to two hours. Mrs. Grinder and her husband
were the only other persons in the room. Tae
girl breathed very heavily, as the noise from
her throat indicated that something was chok•
tog her. Mrs. Kirkpatrick (the old lady,) her
daughter, Miss Kirkpatrick, and young Mr.
Rrehbs (who afterrards Silo Kirk-
Pairhk.) cane -op before I left. I did
not go back until daylight next morn
ing, when I found the girl dead. Mrs.
Grinder knocked at the door and called me
after the girl had died. I noticed particularly
bluencos about her Ups. Before the corr..:
was taken away to Welsh's, I noticed a whitish
or greenish froth about the mouth. This was
the evening of the day she died. Mrs, Grinder
appeared to be very much grieved and con
melted and on" to be rich ',IA hive fable.
lug spells. She still states that Roberts had
given her something or done something for a
purpose. I laid the corpse out. The girl's
shirt was in Mrs. tertoder's chest; she
sold that the deceased had beep press
ing it in the kitchen on Saturday
and Ithad got Into the chest by .mlstaka--she
(Mrs. G.) did not know how. i expressed an
toniebment that there were no underclothes In
the girl's trunk to lay her one in, when I under
stood she had so many. Mrs. Grinder said (hat
was all that came there. There was one under
skirt, rather shabby, put on her. Never went
back to the house after the body had been taken
to WeLetes.
TESTINONT Or Oft, STERIETT
Dr. 8. A. Bterret testified that he was a prac
tising physician; attended upon Miss Buchanan,
at Mrs. Grinders', In Pust7'a wart. When first
called, she seemed to me to be laboring under
great mental* ecteltainent; elm complained of
headache; cannot say that she complained .3f
nausea, but her tongue was coated, ituticatin.;
a bad stomach. I prescribed for her a light emetic
of !pent- I did not prescribe tartarized antimony
and never prescribed It, except in extreme cases.
I think I called on her but three times. 1 next
gave her a mild aperient of Turkey rhubard and
aloes. I gave these both on the first visit. I gave
no manurial& to her, aa I considered her too
teak for anything of that kind. I did •
not, on any of my visite. - eve her notarized •
antimony, maculate of any kind, or ,
arsenic. A day Intervened between my
first and second visit. I found her very
much better, lighter, and [mil from headache.
This I comslaered the natural remit of the pre
scription. Next prescribed tonics—mental;
tonics as well as physical—trying to cheer her -
mind. lied heard a hint that she was In •
hie, and asked her about It. She said that a•
young man had deceived her. I asked her Mt
what way—whether la snob as might bring dia- ,
grace on her. She said '`no," and spurned the •
ides indignantly. I believed her, for she seemed: ,
like a truthful, modest girL She told pm that
at that very time, she was In a condition which.
redered such. an intimation out of
the question. She said be (Roberta)
had disappointed her, lie had promised
to marry her and had left her, or was going to
leave her. I told her It was better that she
had found him out In time.. I left her a simple

and best tomes that weknow. She scorned bete
ter when I left; and I did not intend -going back,
as she seemedao much improved. ' - Next went
baCk in a day or two after, and found her in a
comatose state, with symptoms of congestion of
the brain. I left her no medicine,
for I knew that she would die.
was astonished to see the great change that
was on her. She died early next morning.
Mrs. Grinder seemed to be waiting upon her. I
never told Mrs. Grinder that the girl was preg

I did not believe that she was pregnant no

Dr. Otto Wuth teatifled—Am a chemist by
profession; was present with the Coroner when
the body of Jane R. Buchanan was exhumed in
MUle Cemetery, on 'Tuesday, August 20th.
Took charge of that portion of the remains
which Dr. McCook removed, and have bad them
in my possession ever since. Subjected them to
a chemical test and analysis, for the FloPomi Of
discovering whether there was or was not poison.
Did so at tae request of Mayor Lowry and Cor
oner Clawson. I examined nearly all of the re
mains and found some antimony and a little
copper. The exact weight I have not yet arica•
tallied, but It can readily be weighed. I have
the antimony in two shapes—the metallic and
sulthurate, to which last state It cannot be min
taken for anything else. The antimony pot
veiled, there being very little copper. The rer.
mains of all persons contain more or less cop
for. The amount of antimony femnd would
not indicate the amount taken, as it it so readily
eliminated from the system. The remains and
the results have been entirely in my keePlOil

There are other passages in. which Mr. kflll's
admiration of infidelity are quite as strong. It
occurs to us if this article had been published
before the elections In England, It might have
been harder than It was to have procured certifi
cates of his "religious" character, unless the
"orthodox" pillars of the Church of England
are ready to admit that open infidelity is not"ln

farmer named George Hoffman, reeding near
Braddock's fields, who had died from the effects

months past, He was of a melancholy dispose
Won, and frequently stated that he was
tired of life. It was not believed, how—
ever, that he intended to kilt himself.
On Wednesday he called at the
office of Dr. Auth, in the village; and
a dime's worth of arsenic, which he sanln
tended to use for poisoning rats: On Thursday
morning, at three o'clock, he waked his wife
out of ber sleep, asked for a drink of water.
and said ho felt very sick. He soon after told
her that be had taken poison,, and gave as a
reason for doing so that he was tired working.
Dr. hcholey war sent for, and did everything is
his power to save the man's life, but without
avail, as he died In the evening about seven
o'clock. It is supposed that be was not in his
right mind. The deceased leaves a wife and
nine children. The Jury footed a verdict of
