The Cotton Crop of 1S00 The Cause of It Failure White Laborers Can Prodne CottonIts Profits to Families who will Raise Cotton by their own LaborEmi gration of all Classes Dealred by the South ern People. To the Editor of the Kew York Times: It is generally admitted now that the cot ton crop of 1800 will fall below one million of bales my -opinion . based npon aetual observation in Louisiana and Mississippi, and information of a reliable character from other States, ia that it will not exceed gev en hundred Ihnusand bales. THE CAUSES OF ITS FAXLCBE. Cotton planting was commenced this year under all the disadvantages of disorganized labor, dilapidated improvements on plant ations, buildings in many cases destroyed, fences gone, fields grown np with weeds and grass, neither stock nor farming uten sils, provisions or forage on them every thing to be supplied; good fresh cotton seed difficult to obtain, and selling high, which caused large quantities of old seed to be thrown on the market that were unsound or had lost their vitality by age. The freed men refused to contract till February and March ; the consequences were that pre parations for planting commenced very late ; plowing was badly done, owing to the condition of the land, and the young, un broken mul3, which were generally used. A very large portion of the crop was plant ed on four furrows thrown together hasti ly, leaving the middles unbroken. The winter months were unusually wet, but from the 1st of April till the 1st of Juno, it rained, almost incessantly, making it impost sible to vise the plow or hoe to advantage on the fields that had been planted. A large portion of the crop was planted in May and June, from one to two months la ter than the usual time for planting. The early cotton on the 1st of June was smoth ered with grass and weeds, the plants Btun tod and unhealthy. The ground which had been plowed was packed and close, but a large portion remained unbroken ; cultiva tion was tedious and imperfect. As soon as the ground died after this long rainy spell, it became so hard that neither plow nor Jioe Would penetrate it, except where it had been recently worked. The drouth which comnieuced about the 1st of June, continued till the 20th of August The cotton plant arrows in a good season from eight to ten inches high by 1st of June : from four to six feet high by 1st of Aiienst, with blanches three feet long, all loaded with bolls, blossoms and squares or buds. It requires some rain While it is making stalk and fruiting. This year it had noner-but growing in hard ground, without moisture, it did not reach half the usual size, and could not have the usual crop on it. In August the army worm made its appearance in a very large district of country, and stripped the cotton of its leaves. I will remark here, that in a good season when the cotton has been p anted at tne proper time, the well cultivated, with a lux uriant growth, the army or cotton worm does not reduce the crop more than one quarter. About the 2utb of August, the rains commenced again, ana continued al most till the 20th of September, and were very general throughout the South. The large number of bolls which had come to maturity were prevented from opening and rotted. Cotton hanging out of the bolls, or much of it, dropped on the ground and wiia lost, and that remaining sDrouted the seed, thus giving the finishing blow to the planter s prospect. THB ADVANTAGE OF PLAOTINO HEXT TEAS. Owing to the disasters of this year few planters will clear expenses, and but few will be able to plant next year without the aid of borrowed capital. Many will be dis couraged and will quit ; and, altogether, the present prospect is, that less land will be planted than was this year, lue conse quence will be, labor will be cheaper and more abundant, plantations being in better repair and better condition for cultivation, with the freedmen generally on them, and stock inured to work, with farming imple ments ready for use, preparations for plant ing can be commenced the first of January or sooner, and everything can be put in good order for making a full crop. Such a season as the past planters of fifty years' experience never saw before, and it is not likelv to be followed by another very soon. The freedmen have worked better this year than was expected, and it is to be hoped they will improve as they learn to appreciate their obligations as hired laborer. The price of cotton will be higher owing to the failure of this crop, and the world will attrib ute our failure to the free labor and the army worm, and it will be as hard to convince it next vear that we will make a lartre croo as it was this that we would make a small one. WHITE LABOB CAS FBODCCE COTTOH ITS PBol rrrs to families emigrating to th cot ton STATES. After an experience of thirty years as a cotton planter, and abundant opportunities for observing white labor cultivating cot ton, I feel no hesitation in sayiug that white labor can produce cotton and enjoy good health, and can by a judicious course make it remunerative while undergoing ac climation. While persons emigrating to the South, by observing the following rulevBivmake a half crop the first year without muqp risk of sickness : In the months of April and May, the Summer months, and September and Octo ber, they should go to their work before sunrise, taking before going out a cup of coffee or tea, or light breakfast ; remain in the field till 10 o'clock : lay up from 10 to 4, and work the balance of the day. This would give about seven hours per day for work, in which they could cultivate five acres of cotton and three of corn to the hand, beside raising vegetables, poultry and stock. The outfit required for a familv of seven, say husband and wife and five children be tween the ages of 10 and 20 yean, would be as follow : ; T II LV D A I L I, JODBM A L . ii ( Hates mt Adrertlslagi Adveetisimists will be inserted at ths rat of tl pet1 square for the first Insertion; 3.60 per week; and $8 per month.

They can be hired or purchased at low prices. Stock of all kinds can be raised at small expense. The pas- . turage is good generally nine months or the year, and even in the Winter months cattle and hogs can live without the expense of feeding. After the first year a judicious and thrifty planter can raise doable as much cotton as I have estimated for the first year, and make it nearly all clear gain. I nave known in several instances on the alluvial lands white men to cultivate and gather fifteen bales of cotton to the band. EMIGRATION OF ALL CLASSES VZSOSD ST TEX sbCTHERJI PEOPLE. . It is the wish of all intelligent Southern men that all classes should emigrate to the South. We would welcome the man of capital, the laboring man or the mechanic. I have a wide acquaintance in the South, with all classes and I do not know a man scarcely who would discourage emigration. I can cite those who wish to come south to a hundred Northern men living in all direc tions from Vicksburg, Mississippi some in Louisiana, others in the Yazoo Valley, on the Big Black Biver, in fact, in almost overy neighborhood ; they aro all living peacefully unmolested and without fear of interruption, f ; : . f T I J . , i , iue intercourse ueiweeu uusiness men ui the two sections ia almost invariably con ducted with courtesy. "Ihere are no politi cal meetings, stump speeches or - political preachers in the rural districts of the South to create riots or disturbances. .The old citizens are all engaged in some pursuit by which they hope to support their families or restore their shattered fortunes. It is true there is not much social intercourse between families of the two sections, and perhaps it is as well for the present that there should not be. Ladies are not al ways as prudent as men, and they eaight discuss subjects that would open the wounds of one section or the other, which are fast healing over, and ouly require the removal of irritatiug causes to be perfectly cured.
