At peace with all of Its contemporaries, and with a business steadily increasing, it has good reason to feel contented, and grateful to the hosts of friends -who have stood, by it with unwaver ing fidelity through a long series of years. ; It has always been, our endeavor t04nake a clean paper, morally, po litically and typographically. How well we have succeeded in this effort must be left for its readers to deter mine. Firm in its adherence to Dem ocratic principles, though always con- servative, it is for the Democratic party against all comers, by what ever name known; because it is only through that party that the prosperi ty and political freedom of the South can be maintained. The Morning Star sympathizes with and will aid the farmers in all reasonable efforts to better their condition; but it will never accept or indorse some of the doctrines preached by Polk, Pfeffer, Simpson and Macune, not one of whom is a farmer, or has the interests of the far mer at heart except to the extent that his own political or pecuniary fortunes may be advanced. For twenty-four years we have stood at the helm, and never during that long period has there been any change in the business, editorial or proprie torial management of the Star; and it is with-pride that we can say that' we have abundant reason to believe that the paper is now more firmly PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS . v.- U.

The Times says ocean freight rates from this port are firm and high just now. This is caused by the great dearth of foreign shipping in the port. One well-known ship broker said it was silly for a man or firm to say what the rates would be a month or even a week hence. Shipping rates fluctuate just as the cot ton and naval stores markets do, and no one can tell what a day may bring forth. Tust at present there are three foreign steamers in this port. They are all loading cotton for English ports. A fleet of steamships and sailing ves sels from foreign ports is now on the way here, and it is sate to say mai high prices vessels now command on foreign cargoes will not continue. Cargoes for nearby ports are in little demand, with not much offering. Lumber vessels for coastwise ports are plentiful with fair demand at reason able rates. To Crop GnesBers. Hubbardr Price & Co. have started a . . 1 TL UirA cont out 3 guessing matcn. iuc us Net receipts of cotton at all the -ports yesterday 44,401 bales. Cotton was dull in Liverpool .yes terday and prices in buyers favor, v . Cotton receipts at Wilmington yes terday, 1,098 bales; same date last year, 2.873 bales. Futures, in New York closed steady at a decline September 8.21&8.24; October 8i"48.25; Janury 8.758.76. In Richland, Sumter, Darlington, Florence and Chesterfield, S. C, cotton is reported lully 25 per centrbelow the average. In some localities, it is said, one-half the crop has been picked. A scant sprinkling of farmers were in the city yesterday, says the Charlotte Chronicle, but enough were here to give an insight to the condition of the crops. This warm weather is just the thing for cotton, and it is opening rapid ly. By the latter part of next week it is thought there will be a plenty of new cotton on the market to keep it lively- News and Courier : There is one class of stock that has not been in the least affected by the financial troubles of the past summer, and that is the stock of Southern cotton factories. The New York brokers are anxious to gobble up all the stock in the leading Southern mills that they can lay their hands on. No class of investments has paid Deuer returns, or been less influenced by the general stagnation of business. The New York Journal f Com merce says; There was no important change in the dry goods market this week. The declining cotton maricet slackened somewhat the developing in terest of jobbers as to more distant wants, but the demand for present re quirements was as full as the week be fore. Not only were orders numerous for moderate quantities of goods, but there was the same persistent urgency for their immediate deliveries, showing that iobbers are leaning upon a very small margin of stocks. New York Bulletin : During the present week, as we have irom time to time advised, more or less discouraging crop news has come to hand, but a little sifting of the advices in most cases dis Hr.ri that no reallv new districts were reDortine worms, shedding Peanuts arid Snakes. The ; hands employed at Messrs. Mitchell & Son's peanut warehouse were frightened nearly out of their senses yesterday when a big snake jumped out of a lot of peanuts they had just put into the "hopper" to be cleansed. Every body left that floor of the building in a hurry, and it was some minutes before any ot them could muster up counjge to return. Finally, however, they made armed, with all sorts of weapons, and killed the snake. It was five feet long and some of the knowing ones said it was a chicken snake. After the excitement had calmed down, an investigation was made and it AeA that the snake came from Brunswick county in a lot of one hun dred bushels of peanuts purchased that morning from Mr. A. M. Williams, at two cents per pound, and that its actual cost to the firm was about six cents a very small sum for the amount o pleasurable excitement it created. Prenarine for Bev. nam. Jones.

A Florence (Ala.) special says: A careful inspection of the cotton crop in this section shows a very discouraging state of affairs. The plant appears to be healthy, but examination reveals the fact that it is indifferent in fruit. It is shedding its bolls rapidly, ana snuuiu no change for the better occur within a week the crop will be considerably shorter than last year. Picking has commenced in some parts, but owing to the lateness of the crop it will be some days before much can be pickedV I he farmers are very much discouraged over the prospects, and say the crop is dam aged much more than at the same time last year.
