From the uppre tv.tnviifos extending to ifcs very base of tire Bhn Ridge, we fcmr of unu.-un) preparations for a cot* t.eorop. Thwite planting cotton who never planted it before, and those who Itave cried it with success for the last year or two, are increasing their acre age in this captivating staple. We are constantly reminded that these fool newspaper men are always giving ad vice about matters they don’t under stand ; and we sometimes hesitate about urging even suggestions dictated by eftmmon prudence, when they run counter to the prevailing' tendency.— Hut if svnewspaper has any mission, it is to matte suggestions which concern . the public weal; and we are- strongly impressed with the conviction that the recent attention paid to cotton in North- Kast Georgia will end in disaster.— Therefore we propose to put a few thoughts concerning it on record,, though every planter in the scope of our circulation turns up his nose in derision. The last two seasons have been un usually 1-uig; the fine weather of Oc tober ami November bringing out fair product of cotton in fields almost deemed hopeless in August. Those who used stimulating manures, giving the crop an early start, have doubtless found cotton a more profitable crop than corn or grain, during ihe period referred to. Prices have this season l>ecn high, nnd this, added to the above favorable circumstances, has produced a perfect cotton fever from here to the mountains. It must be admitted that the Inst two falls have been exceptional. Frost was two or three weeks later tlmn the average of years. It is also undisputed that the present Spring is one of the latest known to our planters. Scarcely a furrow has been turned, or a seed planted, even of the hardy gar des vegetables. If lands are properly >pre|>arcd, all planting must be two to three weeks later than usual. Then with an early frost, or even an avenge dull, is it. safe to count on a good crop •of cotton in the district referred to ? Many of our planting friends are not only straining every nerve to increase Uhe urea of cotton, but straining their •credit also for fertilizers, entangling themselves with crop liens, in the un- •ccntnin hope of realizing for their high ilntitude all the rich rewards which are dreamed of in the alluvial cotton belt We tremble for the result of such .hazardous ventures, and urge our planting friends to weigh well the con sequences of failure, before risking so muoh on the uncertainties of a cotton crop. Even if their expectations are fully nwlized, it is doubtful if their condition will bo improved by making ettntou their main dcpendance. The pilcutcrs of the cotton belt, arc in far ««tt« condition now than those of the !?rnim districts. In many sections grim poverty and hopeless ruin stare them in the face. Such a result can be averted in North Georgia, if her plan ters will not run mad after the wizard of She loom. If they would spend their surplus money for sheep and im proved breeds of horses and cattle, sow a part of their rich bottoms to 'grasses and their light uplands to oats; and if they plant cotton at all, risk a small rieh area, which can be tilled without neglect of the general routine o. a grain and stock farm, we have the temerity t« iuri-t that it would be the wiser policy. Hut they will plant cotton.— It is of h i use to talk, or write to the contrary. The cotton fever is ns con tagious as the bloody murrain or the hog cholera, mid must sweep wherever tho plant will grow knee-high to buinhie-bee. So let it sweep. Tho day will surely come when the warn ings of these foul newspaper men will be appreciated. It may be too late to Iwnefit them, nr save the objects of their couiwls from the dull thud of the Sheriffs hammer. ill Chronicle, of tho 2d, shows an ex cess of 61,647 bales over the supply of last year: L872. 1*71.

The perver- Scuth, was necessarily alluded to in the j sions of the office of pastor to such an Sun on Saturday, and .it has to be re- extent was the occasion of much Total 2,264,186 2,192,539 Commercial Subjugation of the South. During tho war, as the result of the contest trembled in the scale, the peo- plo of the 8outh congratulated them selves that if we failed to establish our political independence, the struggle had looted us from commercial vassalage. It was a universal sentiment that wc would not trade with the Yankees, and it .w&s^ declared that merchants •who bought their goods North would not be patronized. How different the result! Tho demand for Northern goods is far greater than ever, and thousands of cross road merchants who never saw New York before the war, make reg ular pilgrimages there to replenish their stocks. Our commercial towns have felt this diversion of trade most seriously. It has resulted largely from the want of commercial facilities South at the close of the war, and the fact that the policy of the government has centred the banking capital chiefly in the commercial centres there ever since—a very material item in the work of consuigmatiug our commercial . The expanding cordon of railroad combinations is steadily and surely di verting much of tho business which has flowed to our Southern ports; and there is significant force iu the recent boast of Forney, that Tom Scott’s grand railroad mouopoly is equivalent to a complete aud lashing conquest of the South. If this gigantic scheme is consummated, the cream of the busi ness of our producing districts will be : which they always contain, and which Cotton Movements. Tim telegraph reports the following statement for the week ending Much i'A: Receipts at all porta for the week, 73,702 bales, against 77,037 last week, **,986 the previous week, and 86,236 throe weeks since. Total receipts since .September, 2,244,058, against 2,917,- 916 for the corresponding period of the previous par, showing a decrease of 673,578. Exports from all porta for the week, 89,553, against 141,872 for the same week list *t year. Total ex ports for the expired portion of the cotton year, 1,818,910, against 1,848,- 306 for the same time last year.— Stock at all the porta, 507,148, against 659,70* for same date last year. Stocks drawn to the great Northern markets, and our own ports will languish on the drippings. Transportation is the key to com merce ; it is more—it is the stream that turns its wheels. With our great lines of communication solidified in a grand monopoly, controlled by North ern capital, with tariffs arranged in the interest of Northern cities, what pros pect have we, for the developement of Southern commerce, or the encourage ment of Southern industry ? These monopolies are repugnant to the spirit, as well as damaging to the interests of our people; and it is hoped that a speedy and earnest effort will be made to prevent the consummation of the work of our hopeless business en slavement. Already we hear the own ers of stock in lines which this great combination seeks to swallow up, free ly advocating a lease, if thereby an in crease of dividends he secured. Such selfishness deserves enslavement, and it is hard that the business future of the fairest and most productive por tion of the whole country, should be sapped and blighted by such mean ideas of petty gain. Our ports must decline, and great disaster result to our splendid railroad system. And with these changes, our political integrity will be gravely imperilled. Monopoly is the hand maid of centralism, and this bloated embodiment of groat lines of transport ation, all pointing to the centres of po litical and commercial power, controll ed in the interest of bond-lords and tariff-rings, will wield an influence to be dreaded. And the saddest feature of this startling innovation is, that in fluential Southern men are giving it their support. Well may tho Lynch- burg (Ya.) Republican remark, that if the visions of direct trade and com Mercia! independence are to fade away front our sight, and the flattering tale with which hope cheered the desolated South in her efforts at recuperation is to be heard no more, the fact that these promised blessings might have been ours but for the treachery of our own people in high places, will canse their names to be held in eternal execration. If, as the Philadelphia Prat jubilantly proclaims, the Pennsylvania Railroad Company lias made conquest of the Hontii, it la a bitter thought to feel that Southern men, who claimed to tie of ns and with us, have proven false to the trusts confided to their keeping, have opened the citadel gates with tlieir own hands for the enemy to enter and possess. Ill gotten gains never yet did their possessors any lasting good. When Judas became aware of tlic evil his treachery had done, he went and hanged himself. In this day men who betray the material fortunes of tlieir fellowcitizens are too insensiblo to commit suicide. Imt a just public sentiment will, sooner results from the combination of sul phuric acid with a portion of the lime originally combined with phosphoric acid, is not only food for plants, but it is one of the most powerful aud per sistent absorbers and fixers of ammo nia known. For this purpose it is often used alone as ground plaster, but in the latter .form its availability is far less than when it is applied as a con stituent of a super-phosphate. In the one case it is simply ground by me chanical means, and even though it be pulverized extremely fine, and sifted through the finest bolting cloth, under the microscope it looks like a moss of coarse grains. The sulphate of lime existing in super-phosphates, on the contrary, is a chemical precipitate, of snch extreme fineness, that even under a powerful microscope 1t presents the appearance of a pulp. Its extreme degree of comminution not only clothes every minute molecule with a power to seize and retain the ammonia which is contained in the atmosphere, but likewise endows it with a property of becoming readily dissolved, and thus fitted to yield up its constituent parts to the rootlets of plants. And so with many other constituents of super phosphates. Although there are yet some modes of their action which are not yet perfectly clear, yet their value is fully established, and they have proved themselves indispensable to thorough cultivation of the soil. In these days of scarce, aud partly un- mnnagablc labor, it is the dictate of sound policy to cultivate a restricted acreage, and to thoroughly manure the land, rather than to half manure, and half till a larger area. Experi ence has justified this inode of action in the most unmistakable manner, and our planters arc becoming convinced of ita soundness. year.

While tho icwipta indicate a very iii3tcri.il reduction from the crop of the ferred to again. Through the mother of the girl and others of the denomina tion, it is learned how the alleged im proper intimacy between the girl and her pastor began, was kept up and finally disclosed. It is alleged to have commenced as far back as two years ago, thq girl being now sixteen years of age, according to her mother’s state ment, who represent^ that Mr. HusOflt professed a gnat interest in her daugh ter and her education, visited her fre quently, invited her to his own house to see him in his study, and she (the mother) felt gratified aud relieved by t!u? interest tua*'taken-in her child.— T.ieg:rl repro-ents U» her mother that fce insidiously perverted her morals, suggesting at toe same time that he wotud not counsel her to anything that was Wrong. He became apparently infatuated, following np his attentions assiduously, even appearing at the school where she attended, under pre tense of being interested in her studies aud progress, at other times and fre quently putting himself in tho way <>f meeting aud joining her on the street. Incredible as it may appear, the • j'irh has further stated to her mother ti Mr. Huston had taken her to houses of assignation, ou$ of which kept by p colored woman, whoW former servant in Mr. Huston’s house, and who came from the South with him. In regard to the letter mentioned on Saturday as having been written by the girl to a young man, and then said to have proposed an assignation, the following statement is now givon, which puts it iu n somewhat modified aspect: The principal of the public school which the girl was attending heard that a young man had gome in? formation in respect to certain rumors afloat about the girl, aud he Wrote to the young man, (a photographer, whom she previously knew,) asking a, private and confidential interview. When the young man came they had a long talk, but the young man denied all knowl edge, except from hearsay. The next day the young man came to the teacher and showed him h note from the girl, which he had received siuce their in terview. The note made no reference to Dr. Huston, and contained no im proper proposals; but there were ex pressions in it which, taken in connec tion with the rumors, the teacher con sidered sufficient to justify him in re questing her withdrawal from school by her mother, who is also a teacher. The note was read to the girl’s moth er in her presence, and he then ad vised the girl to make an open confes sion to her mother, which he under stood she did. There was a note also sent to the girl at her house, which the mother obtained. It named the street and number of a house where an an swer would be received by the writer, and asking her to meet him at a certain place. After the disclosures which the girl made to her mother, the latter came to the teacher for advice, and he re commended her to go to the pastor of the church. The girl’s mother is quite heartbroken. She had been educating her daughter for teaching, who, it is stated, was very quiet and unobtrusive in school. The girl explains the writing of the letter to the photographer, alleging that she had been instigated thereto by the vile suggestions of preventing any evil consequences from previous crim inal intimacy. Upon the charge being made known to them, two gentlemen, one a promi nent minister of the denomination in the city to which Mr. Huston was at tached, visited him on Monday morn ing last. The ministerial visitor told Huston that they had come to inform him of some unpleasant news, of which Huston at once said he was already trouble.—Bil.

Professor 8. \V. Johnson, of Yale College, states that they may act as follows 1st They may enter the plant as direct nutriment. Carbonic add, water, ammonia, nitric add, sulphuric add, phosphoric add, oxide of iron, chorine, lime, magnesia, potash and soda are the elements of nutrition— the essential plant-food. In a fertile soil these materials are accessible to the plant. If one of them l<c ak-ent, the soil is barren uif a substance that contains the missing a >Jy hr apt’lv.1 to the soil, it makes tho latter fertile. 2d. Manures may act partly as sol vents, or absorbents, and thus indirect ly supply food to the plant—for in stance, lime, gypsum, salts of ammo nia, Ac. 3rd. Manures may act by improv ing the physical character of the soil. They may make it warmer, lighter or heavier, more or less retentive of moisture, Ac. Lime, marl and muck, which are generally applied in large quantities, afford exarnplesoftfyia man ner of actidn.' .’ • - f -• It is" evident that when soils are con tinually cropped, elements of fertility are gradually withrawn by plants, and it is iu order to restore this loss that manures ' are principally furnished. But although as a source of direct nu triment manures are especially useful, their other inodes of action ought not to be lost sight of, as they are undoubt edly of great value—particularly when they are induded in the second class. A fertilizer which" affords to the soil sulistauces which act in all three of the ways above enumerated, possesses ad vantages which entitle it to be ranked high among manures. A single appli cation fulfills all the requirements needed for the amelioration of the soil, and at the same time yields n liberal supply of plant food, capable of prompt and easy assimilation. This is the chief reason why super-phosphates of lime are so valuable to the soil. By the very method of their manufacture new combinations are formed which render them useful, both .is direct nu triment, and as solvents and absorb ents.
