To ora Conuxar FniasD*.—A» much interest is tsit throughout the country In .regard to the pros pects of tho cottou and other crops we will be grate ful to our planting friends and others tn tho Interior for infosasstlon on that subject. Those who have op- -poriuulties for obtaining valuable information in rsgard to the growing crops, the working of the free- labor system, and kindred matters, of general Interest, Wlli confer a favor by communicating the Bamo to us. THE EXPECTED TllOl'BLiK. It is useless to try to conceal the fact tliat there is some apprehension in the minds of intelligent business men that we are on the eve of a financial crisis. This uneasiness is caused by the heavy weight of taxation, the unsettled condition of political affairs, and the inordinate speculation and extravagance so prevalent all over the land. The ques tion which first presents itself when consider ing this important matter is, what can be done to avert the supposed impending evil? We believe it may be avoided by thorough and complete reform in those matters so plainly leading to disaster. Should the de sired changes not be made the crisis will inevitably supervene—business will be pros trated, fortunes will be lost, and financial disorder and distress will reign among all classes. In view, then, of this possible dan ger, how important it is that every man use his best judgment in making preparation to meet it. And this remark isr especially ap plicable to the people of the South, when, as the result of a financial crisis, money will be come scarce, the rates of interest will ad vance, sales of all kinds will be curtailed, prices will fall to the minimum, and employ ment will be hard to obtain. Who will be the chief sufferers? Those whom the panic, if it comes, finds in debt—and this truth we would like to impress upon every Tender of our paper. As the effect of an old and mis chievous custom in the South, we are too prone to incur liabilities which we« Jgromise and expect to meet promptly, and .which we could meet under favorable circumstances. But, unfortunately, as experience has shown, the crash suddenly breaks the debtor, he fails to raise money to meet his obligations, he must of necessity submit to great sacri flee, and financial ruin is the result. Busi ness men would not suffer more, perhaps, than the laboring men who earn, their living by honest industry : but the measure of the suffering of the latter will depend greatly upon the preparation that they shall have made for it. The man who is now prac ticing strict economy, and carefully laying up every cent he can spare, would scarcely feal the general crash; for if his wages should be curtailed, or he he thrown out of employment entirely, the same causes that thus affect him would diminish the prices of every hing purchasable to the lowest notch, and every dollar he is now saving would then ba worth three. Then it is'clearly the duty of all to save every dollar that is not needed for absolute necessaries, bearing in mind the fact that it may possibly have a three-fold value in the time of want. Do- this, and if the apprehended crisis comes you will be un harmed amid the general ruin. -' w - railing upon Senor Bomero, Minister of ths Mexican I Republic. Mr. Bom.ro is not recognised by any other members of the diplomatic. oorpa In Washing ton, not from personal considerations at all, but be cause ha la not regarded ae representing nay country or legitimate government In spite of his non-recog nition by Senor Bomero, Santa Anna, it la under stood, is actually in Washington in the Interest of the Juariet or Liberal party in Mexico, Aboushtso iKFnmomanr von Debt a Exqlaxd. A new reform is proposed in England. The Bank ruptcy bill now pending in Parliament provides for the abolition of imprisonment for debt. The London Times says: “ This change, at .lint desired on the grouud .of hu manity, may now be defended on the simplest princi- plee of common sense. If it were cruel to put s man lu prison to lie there forever, it is absurd to - put him there only for the purpose of taking him out again, and that at the public expense. With imprisonment for debt falls, as we appr ehend, almost the whole ju risdiction of in-olvency as opposed to bankruptcy. A vast amount of time and trouble hitherto expended in getting debtors who had no means of payment released from arrest, will be swept away, and persons will no longer obtain credit on the strength of the chance that some compassiouate relative will release them from imprisonment. It is impossible to speak too highly of this change, whether viewed with reference to the principles of political economy, of law, or of morality." ME. BOTTS’ PLAN OF RECONSTRUC TION. Jno. M. Botts, of Virginia, has addressed an open letter to the members of Congress, •taring the objections of what he is pleased to designate the class of true Southern Union men whom he .represents to the plan of reconstruction now before Congress, and suggesting a substitute which, he believes, will effect all desirable purposes. His objections‘are that the proposed plan makes no provision for the Union white men ; that the proposed disfranchisement is based upon wrong principles, being depen dent upou the grade of offence committed, a\d fails to reach mapy of the most mis chievous ag'Uls in exciting the rebellion; and that it is impracticable, as it will not be adopted. He proposes in lieu of this plan, to exclude from office in the Federal State Governments, for ten years, all who were over twenty-five years old at the breaking out of the "rebellion,” unless they can take an oath exculpating themselves from ever having written or done anything to aid the South in the late war, or “to alienate the af fections or allegiance of the people of the United States.” Those whose age d 'os not exclude them to be allowed to lin'd office only on taking oath of tin unqualified allegiance in the future to the Government of the United Slates. This plau it will be observed, affects Norih- ern ‘'Copperheads” as well as “Southern Rebels.” It is Considered by Mr Botts and . his admirers an improvement- on the third section of the amendment before Congress, for which it is offered as a substitute, but fails, say some of the radicals, where .the committee’s bill itself fails, in ignoring the essential point of. the recognition ol the equal lights of the i'reedinen, who have not forfeited it by crime, to be represented in the Government. .— This man Botts is to be the leader of a new political organization in the Southern States, to be styled the Union party, and bis opin ions are therefore important and worthy of notice. For the information of our leaders in regard to this new party we give in an other column a report of their recent Con vention at Alexandria,-Va: it wiH-be seen that the leaders, although disagreeing, upon certain points, are exceedingly bitter against the "Rubs,” and propose to disfranchise them forever.

We can pro mise our readers to-morrow the only correct and full report of this important argument the Country. The Committee appointed to MUCH surprise is expressed in Washington at the report on the subject do not rest their case conduct of Baron Stoeckle.Mfce Russian Minister, in ou lilt-re Hsseriion or random declamation, but on the evidence of lacts carefully ascer- tnined. The arguments urged by the Com mittee were patent to all competent inqui rers, and it forms a subject of melancholy reflection that such a paper should go forth to the world in vindication of sound princi ples of taxation. The Committee of Ways and Means in the Senate have shown how imperfect is their knowledge of the subject when they have assumed that the excise of five cents per pound on cottoa falls on the consumer, instead of the producer. The Committee of the Chamber make only a brief reference to this self-evident position, apparently conceiving jt a point on wbicb it is not necessary to bestow any argument. The Committee say: The natural course seems now to be for eotton to decline, perhaps very slowly, and by fits and starts, until it reaches half it* present value, if the growths if 1SGQ and 1807 are prolific ; and it is equally na tural to suppose ou ' planters must make two succes sive crops, each of 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 of bain, and dell them at very low prices before the cultivation in the Bombay district will be materially curtailed. The prospective difficulties of the American planter, even without any tax on account, are great, probably greater than he supposes, as both in the North and south there are. still lurking ideas that “American cotton is king." For if be secure a large crop, he is sure to meet a low price ; while if. hia crop is short, ,nd his earnings therefore small, the cultivation in other countries will continue to increase. Yet at this very lime, when he is struggling for existence, a tax of five cents per pound is proposed, which, being practically an rxjxn't duty, is equivalent to charging him with that amount tor the purpose of paying it over to the cultivation of Egypt, India and Brazil. Of what weight cm be Mr. Conkling’s asseriion, in the men of facts, “that if the American staple can be put into the marked at 15 1-2 cents per pound, surely it esn af ford to pay the five cent tax and still com pete wiib the world.” He further averred “that in the emergency which had passed away cotton bad been largely grown in Brasil and in other fields, but we were able to compete successfully with any rival cotton growing country. He thought the entire cotton crop of the world was about twelve millions of bales. The highest crop in the United States bad been five millions of bales.” From what state of facts does he infer that “we were able to compete successfully with any rival cotton growing country?” The United States are now patting the ex periment to trial of competing with the cot ton growing countries of the world. Mr. Conkling is anticipating the result, under the new system of labor, when be states that “the emergency bad passed away” of -main taining competition with the cotton growing countries of the world. Mr. Opdyke took those views of the sub ject which should govern the enlightened merchant. “He thought it unwise on the part of Congress to burden any staple such as cotton with a tax which must necessarily cripple our commerce. It it was intended to i make the Mouth aid in paying the vast debt i it bad caused us to contract by imposing this tax upon cotton, that was a doctrine which, would hardly find advocates in that Cham- i ber. He regarded the policy by which such j a tax was proposed as unwile and unjust. ” By Telegraph. ] as New Advertisercen GREAT FIRE IU YORK.

They de sired nothing bnt support—money and the materials of war—from America, and looked upon all attack# upon Canada as a fatal di version from the true aims and purposes of the Brotherhood—the disenthral m«qt of the Irish race.” “To compromise the country which has given you shelter and opened to you a career of useftflneae is not the way to free Ireland, and Vrill never effect that for which we are organiAd. What prevented us from fighting? Dissensions in America—and these dissensions were kept alive by the scheme of wreaking a magnificent revenge upon England through her Canadian posses sions.
