Cotton is our great staple, nnd w ill be i
the chief means of our restoration '"
tense, wealth, social and.commercial pow- J
ter—provided five African IttboT proves a
success after a fair trial; and the Gov
ernment, to which the ftotilb is subject,
toill not exclude its production bv over
taxing it. Nothing in this essay is in
tended to discourage any Southron en
gaged in cotton planting, from persist
ing in tho effort until fully and finally sat
isfied of tho inexpediency or in\practaca-
Lility of this branch of agriculture.
In view of tho heavy tax already im
posed Cta cotton, which would be into!*
'erablo but for tho present fictitious high
price, and which may at any time be in
creased to prohibitory rates, oven at
present prices. And in view of tho tin-
1 certainly of tho unsolved problom of
| Free Labor in The Sifutb, it is becoming
f to our people to begin to consider tho
i resources wo hate©, and to which we

In tho course df oirr editorial effort*
we shall probably bdvfc occtuflon to Con
sider this question in many phases, and
with reference to numerous subjects, in,
Volving tho employment of labor no\v
idle, the diversion of lubor and capital
to manufactories and other enterprises
and tho profitable production by agri
cultural and horticultural pursuits, of
eommodiliw, in the growth of which
African or gang labor is not oisenfial.
And wo propose'to open tho Bories by
presenting the subject of “ Wlfto Grow
ing ” in South-western Georgia.
We do not soizo upon this because the
subject is uppermost in mind, or for tho
reason th»t either of oar trio is nn adopt,
ns to the peculiar merits of tho produc
tion of tho different grapes of this and
foreign countries, or even that wo fuel
an individual and personal interest in tho
supply of tho article upon which wo pro-
peso to treat.
Wo ure looking oi’t generally upon
tho resources of tho Boufb, and tho
Tnoans of restoring her to pecuniary in
dependence. This seems to ho nn en
terprise open to any person who has a
surplus acre of land, and one which
promises tho greatest yield froln the least
investment of capital, and tho least ex
penditure of mntnicl labor. Tho season
ii approaching when all who sco lit to
‘consider tho subject In Us application to
their pecuniary interests, and to make
experiments for tho ensuing year should
begin preparations.
Thero are some features of this sub
Joct which must bo striking to every
mind upon simple presentation. Ono of
tho chief difficulties attending tho grow th
of cotton is the forgo ofca of land which
is required, demanding a largo invest,
tnent of money capital to begin with.
Also, that n large amount of homo pow
er is demanded. It is difficult to keep a
largo area of ground enriched. Tho
