The following table will show the amount of ginned cotton, in bales of 400 pounds each, raised in 

 the different States in 1860, and also in 1850: 



I860. 



Mississippi 1, 202, 507 



Alabama 989, 955 



Louisiana 777, 738 



Georgia 701, 840 



Texas 431, 463 



Arkansas 367, 393 



South Carolina 353, 412 



Tennessee 296, 464 



North Carolina 145, 514 



Florida 65, 153 



&quot;We have here omitted a few States which produced small quantities of cotton in 1850, but which 

 are unreported in 1860. But the total amount is given correctly. 



Mississippi produces more cotton than any other State. This State alone raised nearly half as 

 much cotton in 1860 as the whole United States in 1850. 



Alabama comes next, and then Louisiana, Georgia standing fourth, though but little behind her 

 sister States. 



These four States, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, and Georgia, produced 3,672,040 bales of 

 cotton, while all the other States produced only 1,715,012 bales. 



Texas, Arkansas, and South Carolina come next in the order named. 



Tennessee and North Carolina stand eighth and ninth ; the two together, however, produce less 

 cotton than the new State of Texas.
