About three weeks ago, or more, Mr

the alleged intention of visiting his mill
and plantation, butsuddenly changing his

found Mr. .lame- Loach (a young lawyer

tho secret of igniting it by the noodle,

Crops in the South.
Gainesville, Ala., Aug. 7, 1806.
To Uic Editors of the Day Book :
Gents.—As the year is drawing on to
ward tho end, every planter has a pretty
good knowledge of his prospect for a crop,
and wo can’t bo mistaken in tho corn
crop, and when I tell you that not half as
much corn has been made in tho South as
has been consumed in preparing and mak
ing tho crop, as a general thing, 1 think,
Messrs. Editors. 1 am tolling you tho
truth. ^ Iu regard to tho cotton crop, you
may find a fow crops of tolerable good
fcrogpoct. say nearly an average of former
P 0r * ds, but when you find one such crop,
you w. ) ij n ,} tun crops that aro certainly
the P° or *S: pros poet I ever saw. A vory
largo portiOvof tho land planted will not
make over oiib-v^jrth of a crop. Throe-
fourths ot tho plfthv^-a wlll not make cot-
ton enough to ro.niKj < 0 them or pay
them back tho money thu v „ur
if thoy sell their cotton at -go CC nts per
pound, and pay tho cnormodiK*. vx w |tj,
other expenses incurred in gottingivj cot .
Ion to market. 'This throe cents per pinA.j
tax on cotton, with tho short corn crop,
will cause tho planters of this country to
plant very little cotton next year. If thoy
roally understood their own interests,
they would never plant another sood of
cotton more than to supply the factories
of tho Southern States.
This free negro labor now used can’t
make cotton, oven at fifty cents per pound
—for this has been satisfactorily proved
this year, and I can assure you that tho
nogroes have worked belter this year than
thoy will tho next; thoy will go to idle
ness, stealing and destruction in spito of
tho “Burojiu, ’ and all the Stovonsos and
Sumners in tho United States. Tho uog> o
is gone. Ho is now the most unhappy
eroaturo on earth, wandering from place
to place in rags, and starved nearly to
death. If Northern manufactories con
tinue in full operation, in ton years or loss
time the United States will be importing,
instead of exporting cotton. 1 ropont it,

The only objective point to our mind is,
what can the negroes be put to that are

that time, and the work that thoy are now
performing will bo finished shortly. Tho 1
brick and tun yards can only work a cer

whipping po«t, for petty larceny. When

ideas,thut they should bo in tho corn field

brains to become accomplished mechanics
—and should the number increase to 200
or300.it will bo a positive evil in our
opinion. A negro should not ho sent to
the institution lor less than a year, as it is
an expense to tho Htatu without adequate
profit. Keep the negroes in tho sovorui
counties to work on their town streets or
county road.s, or do such work as will at
least make them pay for thoir feeding.
No white man should ho sent for less lhan
