THE DAILY TIMES.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 18.
Telegraphic Despatches.
Hon. Wm. L. Yancey, and Roger A.
Pryor.
The controversy which has sprung up between
these gentlemen (says the Huntsville, (Ala.) Dem
ocrat )\s a source of great regret to their mutual
friends- We do not think that Col. Yancey is
justly to be blamed lor it. We concede that some
suggestions of his Slaughter letter were not ot our
notion, but they were not of a character to justify
the acrimonious aesault of Mr. Pryor Nor is
tiiore anything in the Constitution ollhe Lenjue
Of United Southerners,” (however, Southern men
may differ about the policy of such an orgamza
lion ) to provoke the denunciation of any true
Southerner, much less Mr. Pryor, who had gone
as far as Col. Yancey ever did, in his denuncia
tions of Northern aggressions, and expressed de
terminations to resist further aggression “at all
hazards and to the last extremity.”
The reply ol Mr Pryor to Colonel Yan
cey’s letter to him is marked by his usual
brilliant and diffusive style, but it is far from
being a fair and just criticism upon Colonel
Yancey’s letter, his general political course,
or the League, We see in it more of the skilllul
evasion and special pleading of the artful dialec
tician than the plain-sailing logic ol the straight
forward exponent and defender o truth*
Personal triumph, rather than the success of
truth for truth’s sake, seems to be Mr. Pry
or’s object, and in his zeal to accomplish this
object, temporarily,he has jailed to acquaint him
self thoroughly with Col. Yancey’s political his
tory, parfcularly his relations to the Democratic
party. Here, if our memory does not deceive us,
Col. Yancey has it in his power to disprove some
ol Mr. Pryor’s allegations of fact and to place
completely hors du combat. He will bo?.ble to
show that he is no disappointed office-seeker; no
supporter ol Administrations for the sake of spoils;
never assaulting without cause; yet never chary
of censure when deserved ; never wanting in leal
ty to the true principle of States liighis republican
ism,or losing an opportunity to defend them .when
necessary; always their true, gallant, eloquent
champion in good and evil report. We would
specify particulars in which Mr. Pryor'has spoken,
without the record of Col- Yancey ; but we have
not time or inclination to do so. at present, espec
ially as we think it likely that Col. Yancey, as
soon as his health will permit, will furnish the facts
in his own vindication.
Franklin College.
Asa matter of courtesy, says the Augusta
Chronicle and Seniirtel, we publish the commu
nication of the Rev. W. J. Parks, proposing to
sell Franklin College to the Episcopalian Church,
for we dissent entirely from his views. Although
we feel constrained to believe that the College is
a doomed institution, under its present manage
ment, yet we regard it the duty of the legislature, to
make it what its founder, and the sages and patii
ots who framed the Constitution designed it should
be—a “University.” It is simply ridiculous to
call it by that name now. Every State owes it
to the people, to found within its limits the best
institutions for the education of its sons, and
Georgia has as yet fallen far, very far short of the
performance of her duty in this respect. So far
that the State institution does not rank above, ifit
equals those endowed by private munificence.
We are perfectly aware that these opinions will
not meet with favor, or be appreciated by rigid
sectarians, or the small beer politicians and dema
gogues of the day, who are always clamorous
about taking the people’s money to provide for the
education ol the sons of rich men; bat we care
not, as we do not address ourselves to such narrow
minds on a question of such magnitude. We look
alone to the intelligent and liberal-minded to carry
out such a purpose, and when the question is be
fore the people we shall make our appeal accord
ingly, and we shall not hesitate to tell them that
tho College and Faculty need removing, purging
from basement to dome, before it can succeed. For
as at present organised, we regard failure inevit
able—certain—only a question of time. These
may be, and no doubt are, unpalatable truths to
some men, but they are nevertheless truths, which,
in ouropinion.it behoves the people to meet bold
ly and fearlessly, like patriots and statesmen, and
apply the remedy.

The Future of Mexico—Jler Immense
Debt.
Although an attentive looker on,-*and a
long and active resident of this country,nd
moreover ono who takes a deep interest in
its future, I confess that never -did such
doubt hang over my mind, of what is to
come out of all these troubles of this coun
try at tire present time. I sometimes am
almost induced to believe that there is no
salvation for this naturally rich and beauti
ful, but politically cursed land: and that
political annihilation must soon take place.
Of one thing lam sure; that with Mexi
cans alone, the country must lose its na
tionality within a very brief period. In
proof of this, we need simply cast our eyes
over the record since the tune this country
became independent. The revolutions and
violent changes which have taken place
will clearly show, that the natives ol this
country and all mixed, inferior races, are
completely unfit to enjoy, as they are inca
pable of conceiving, a purely Democratic,
responsible government. Mexico has had
fifty-two changes in her government since
the year of her independence—in 1821—
about one government to every half year;
and the greater portion of all these changes
has been brought about by civil war—or,
in the parlance of the country, by pronun
ciamentos. With every change of govern
ment, the credit of the country has declined,
until now the interior-debt-bonds are only
worth, in the market, about 11 to 8 per
cent. The price of the different foreign
convention debts differs according to times
and circumstances, but they all hold a
higher figure than the interior debt, from
the fact that the conventions are supported
by other governments; at least the nations
for whose citizens these conventions have
been made, occasionally bully a little
through their legations here, and thereby
the stockholders make out to get a portion
of their interest, overdue. While I am
speaking of the debt I will give you, from
the best authority, a list of what Mexico is
known to owe. The table is taken from
the Mexican Extraordinary ,and is acknow
ledged to be correct:
British Bond-holders’ debt, $00,621,843 00
Spanish Convention, 7,270,600 75
English Spanish Convention, 5,000,000 00
French Convention, 263,490 00
American Claims, 3,000,000 00
Total of Foreign Debt, #76,156,133 75
Mexican Interior Debt, 53,451,455 08
Total (as figures are made
up,) . , . #129,607,588 83
Besides the amount footed up above, Sr.
Lerdo mentions another debt, which he de
nominatea “ fioating.” The amount of this
floating debt is not known, but he says it
did amount to many thousands. It is not
at all improbable, if the statistics could be
obtained, that this fioating debt runs up to
several, if not trany millions.
Thus you will see the amount of debts
this country has accumulated in the brief
space of twenty-seven years—this country,
which in the latter days of its provincial
existence, sent its millions to Spain, and at
one time, paid almost the entire colonial
expenses of the island of Cuba. Now Cu
ba has an export about four times greater
than that of Mexico. Cuba has remained
a colouy and has prospered, as would Mexi
co, had she not become maddened by the
intoxicating idea of self-government.
An American “ Protectorate ” Urged.
But my idea is not to get too deeply into
this subject, for volumes can be written that
could be filled with interest. My object is
to show some powerful illustrations of the
decay of this country, its incompeteucy for
self-government, and to urge that the Uni
ted Slates, for self-preservation; may do
her duty before long to this country and
save it from the vagabondage to which it
has arrived, Not only is it the policy of
the United States to do this for present and
future political purposes, but it is her duty
to do something with Mexico in justice to
her citizens who have come here under
treaty stipulations, and who have been plun
dered and outraged in the most shameful
manner. The resolution of Sam Houston,
offcrid in the United States Senate and
adopted by the British bond-holders, at a
late meeting in London, as gospel, has a
deal ef good senst in it, and sooner or later,
it must be acted upon favorably.
How a Protectorate might be Established.
The number of Americans in this country,
is about 500 at this time. Of all other
foreigners, we have about 9,000 more. The
Spaniards are in excess of all others put
together, and their retrogade ideas have
done much to put Mexico in the condition
she is in to-day. Had tie a large Ameri
can and English population here, the effect
would be marvelous on the country: but
neither Englishmen or Americans will come
here to risk their capital, so long as their
Governments allow them to be plundered
with impunity, as they have been, for the
last few years. England has clearly said,
by her actions here and elsewhere, that she ‘
wishes the United States to lay hold of and
dictate a steady gqvernmentto Mexico; .and
it only remains for the United States to dic
tate strong terms to Mexico, to procure
submissive quiet at once. What the United
States ought to do is, to dictate a form of
government to Mexico and enforce quiet
on the country. This can be done by the
agency of a clever man here, as Minister
of the United States; for all classes of re
spectable people in Mexico, notwithstanding
they sincerely hate everything which is
Anglo-Saxon, would give their support and
aid to such an agent of the United States,
for their own preservation. The prelimi
naries once arranged, details could easily be
carried into effect, as five thousand men,
judiciously distributed throughout this
country, would keep down any revolution
ary. feeling which might get abroad. It
would be a virtual protectorate, and might
cost the American Government some ad
vances of money ; but, a country that is na
turally so rich as this, has no need of being
a beggar, after she has once established
peace. Peace would soon rejuvenate the
drooping and dying interests of this country,
and would bring in a very considerable
amount of foreign enterprise and capital;
and, with the increase of all branches of
industry, the revenues of the country would
soon exceed the wants of a liberal govern
ment, and at the same time admit of a great
reduction on the unjust duties from the
present tariff. Every one who at all knows
this country —its rich mines now worked
besides those known to exist, but which
have not been worked, on occouut of the
insecurity of tfis country—its facilities for
manufactures, its rich arable and grazing
lands, and its great demand for railroads,
which open fields for the most unlimited
speculation—must confess that a stable
government in Mexico would create a spir
it lor business that would surpass the most
brilliant periods in the history of California
or Australia.

Cotton Planter’s Convention.
Report of the Committee on the “Opera
lions of the Plantation” submitted to the
Convention at the Adjourned Term, in
the City of Mocon, September 4 ih, 1858.
Gentlemen : Under a resolution passed at
the meeting of this body on the Bth of Jme
last, a committee was appointed upon the
various “operations of the plantation.” The
subject would admit of a very large and ex
tensive report, embracing, as it does, the
whole business of farming, such as making
and preparing cotton for market, making
ample provisions for the farm, raising stock
of all kinds, as well as the best method of
managing the entire business of the farm.
Cotton we regard a very delicate plant,sub
ject to very many calamities in the progress
of its production. In the first place, it is
all-important to prepare the land intended
for cotton early in the spring by thorough
ly breaking up and pulverizing the soil,
considerably in advance of sowing time.—
Great care should be taken in placing the
seed in the ground in such quantities as to
insure a stand. Early working is regarded
as important to encourage the gtowih ot
the plant, soon after it comes up, partially
thinning it out so that the growth may not
be too much kept back by too many plants
being crowded together. It is very diffi
cult to determine, after long experience,
what sort of tillage is best for the cotton
plant. Oi r seasons are so changeable and
uncertain, and our soil so variant, that it is
almost impossible to give a uniibrm plan of
planting or tillage. We think, however,
that much depends upon a proper prepara
tion of the soil, and that the best mode of
tillage depends very much upon the seasons
and character of the soil. We think light
soils shonld be but lightly plowed—often
enough to keep the grass down and the
plant in good heart. Stiff soil should be oc
casionally bioken up deep until your cotton
begins to branch, when we think light cul
tivation is best for the balance of the year.
In preparing it for market we think it im
portant for the planter to supply himself
with a good gin and press or screw, and let
the picking commence as early as the hands
can get one hundred pounds per day, and
that all other labor on the farm should yield
to the gathering ol cotton as much as con
venient in the early part of the season.
In relation to the provision crop (we
mean all the cereal productions common in
our climate, such as corn, wheat, peas, oats,
rye and barley), much and particular atten
tion should be paid, otherwise we shall fail
in another very important branch of farm
ing operations, to—wit; the raising and sup
port of all the various kinds of stock impor
tant to be raised and kept on the farm,
such as mules, horses, hogs, cattle and
sheep. We believe all these various kinds
of stock should be raised on the plantation
to enable the p anter to be, as he should, an
independent member of society. So you
perceive the great necessity of appropriating
a large portion of our farm to the produc
duction of grain of some sort. We should
so manage our farm as to raise everything
upon it that is indispensable for our con
sumption, except sugar, coffee, salt and iron.
Let us all do this, and then if all our time is
not taken up, let us plant cotton.
Considerable advantage may be derived
from having fifty acres or more set in fruit
trees for the benefits of our hay crop, espe
cially when every-thing depends upon what
is grown within our enclosure. Some cau
tion is necessary in such a state of our vo
cation not to let our stock become too nu
merous ; keep just enough to be well fed
and cared for, especially hogs and cattle.
Planters, who ol all others should be the
most independent portion of the people,
are still the most dependent in a good de
gree, owing to the suicidal policy pursued
by a majority of those engaged in that em
ployment. Too many of them depend upon
making cotton to buya large portion of the
provisions for the support of the farm, as
well as clothing for the laborers and all oth
er articles of necessity. This is regarded as
a mistaken policy. Our cotton, as well as
all other surplus productions of the farm,
are very often in this manner of necessity
forced upon the market, and we are com
pelled to submit to the dictation of the pur
chasers as to price ; and this practice tends
as much as any other thing, to produce the
constant liuctuation in the price of the arti
cle.
Your committee are ot the opinion that
the consumption of the article of cotton is
now, and will continue perhaps for all time,
to increase in an unequal proportion ; and
that it is not unlikely that cotton will ever
again fall below a remunerating price.—
Your committee are of the opinion that con
cert of action on the part of the planters is
only necessary to enable’ them to realize
( their truly independent position, and force
others to feel and acknowledge their influ
ence and elevation.
Vour committee submit the foregoing as
their report upon the ninth division of the
President's communication to the Conven
tion in your last. Respecfnllv,

Yellow Fever in New Orleans.
We take the following cheerless para
graph from the Picayune of Sunday :
We cannot congratulate ourselves or our
friends abroad on any marked improvement
in the epidemic that has been steadily car
rying off its hundreds of victims weekly.
The average of deaths maintains a fearfully
steady figure, and we know no other assign
able cause for this sad state of affairs save
the quite as steady influx of citizens and
strangers who, despite all warning, persist
in coming amongst us only to furnish fre*di
food for the destroyer.
The disease latterly has entered the
dwellings and counting rooms of those who
are generally, as a class, exempt from.such
attacks on account of their seclusion and
regular, quiet occupation. A .number of
young merchants, book-keepers and pro
fessional men have succumbed. The dis
ease appears stiil to have little regard even
to the very children born here, and many j
households have thus been made deso-1
late. *

Savannah Market* —The sales of cotton for
Saturday were 1"00 bales, at the following quota
tion: Middling Fair 12 cents.
The Board of Health reports no interments from

Specimen Rhetoric.— Mr. Winter Davis,
in his letter to the students at the Univer
sity of Virginia, thus soars into the regions
of boundless space :
“Such fever in youth portends madness
in manhood. It is a temper alien to the
genius of our republic, whose life is free
dom of thought freely spoken, a temper
which tends to civil strife, the shock of ex
tremes, softened by no conciliatory coun
sels, the tyrannical domination of local ma
jorities to the extermination of every pro
test, and the collision of those majorities
in arms when the kindly memories of the
past are only a little more obliterated by in
jurious recriminations.”
We submit to Mr. Davis “whether at
public elections should the votes of faction
predominate by internal suggestions or the
bias of jurisprudence ?”
Cost of Electric Light.
M. Edmond Becquerel, a French savant ,
has been recently engaged in some experi
ments with a view to determine the com
parative cost of electricity as an illuminate
ing agent. He used a battery of zinc aftd
platinum, with strict attention to economy,
and the results were as follows :
The standard is the light of 350 candles
of the best quality, and the cost of
Coal gas at $1.60 per 1000 c. feet, was $0 35
Oil (Rape seed,) at 17 cts. per lb 0 60
Stearine candles, at 32 cts. per lb. 2 52
Wax candles, at 52 cts. per lb. 3 12
Electric light, 0 58
Thus showing that although the electric
light is cheaper than candles, it will not at
present compete with coal gas, at least un
til some cheaper battery power be found.—
