Jjtiift suppose, my friends, that we lire j
al l ut to inflict u]m.ii you,along tvay on !
tie- mir t- \. it n..ikr in* tin- manner in ;
which you . ultiy te your cotton or corn,-j
pea, or | itivto-s. Th. so of you who *
iu the lm'-it of passing our extensiv •
plantation where wo live, and seeing the
crops grow ing thereon, I See imagine, would
have hut hole patience in resoling articles i
from iL^ explaining how good crops can i
he raised. The lesson which we propose j
to inculcate here ia,however, entirely con- j
. sift.'ii 1 with our pr.cetiee. '1 he error;
wli ; 'h we propose to correct in our brother
fa is, is one wtenever eOnuiii; nstme
iv, that of raising I o much cotton. N> vet- j
during these yennsthal weliave • 11 !t iva,l and
th" -iiowv staple, did if" bring down the
pi ire ly glutting the I SI flirt with 0111
crop. To be serious, however, our atten
tion was directed more parti<u!:irly to!
this subject by a eonversation we had si
few days since, with one of our most in-!
tclligent. and successful farmers. By the
wii-v, if he would send in occasional com- ;
o'.uuf at.ons nil fanning, tie* loanrge
m. nt of hands, or any of the kindred I
subjects, we would be glad to publish j
thorn, us v.e feel assured they would Is; j
both ii.it •> sting and profitable to our
reads is*.
Rlnnfiin x largo crops of cotton do*
riot pay li. iiu.v:', if the iic.ison.s are good,
and a larg ip, ,-utity made, the jirice in
variably goes down, so that, it Holdout
more thou pays out timeout of production.
We have no doubt, tint u crop of 2,000,
POO buh of eotlou, would bring siti much
money in the country, as a crop of 4,000,
000. bet the crops fall down to 2,000,
000, and !h w ipiicl; the pric would run
lip to 25 i.r fit) cents per pound, and o\, r,
perhaps. 40 cents; but let there be a few
hundred thousand Tales excess, and im
mediately the speculators arid nm-itu
factureea take advantage of it, and down
go'H the price to 10or 12 cents. Tina is
not imagination, but the experience of
every ! ruier who has been engaged in
the business a half down years. How j
common is it to hear the farmers say,.
“Last year I made a good crop, but cut
ton was sci low, 1 got nothing Icr il ; tins
year, it brings a good price, but, I have
but little to sell. And tbuslie sometimes
seems to be surprised, or to complain, at
wluit is nothing but, the inflexible law of
trade that, the supply and demand will
regulate the price, and ho himself incretts
iti‘i the supply, has hclpuS to decrease tin
price. Some may suppose that, farmers,
be holding their cotton, can regulate the
price. There are two difficulties in this
plan. First.it has been found impossi
ble to for,ii such a combination among
om* farmers, a to produce any percepti
ble impression upon the market, >- c
ond'v, many of our farmers are in such n
condition, that they cannot control their
own cotton, they being both legally and
home My bound to t urn it over to their
eoninib-s'on merchants, as soon as made,
to pay for advances to enable them to
run their far lie. If.* then, the Mini
amount of money can bo made by culti
vating half the amount of cotton we now
do, is it, not the part of wisdom to save
ono half of the labor now fruitlessly <x-
I cmic 1, mid turn it to profitable account,
in some ot her direction? Again, while we
think we have shown that the gross
amount veeivedfor a large crop of cotton,
is no go'it,*r than from a small one, the
labor and expense must lie greater, and
therefore the net profits must be less.
Ties i- very evident, as the more lands
we cultivate, and the more mule [ -.'Wer
we employ, the greater must he the sum
to be deducted for rent and mule hire,
or inter; at on the Investment., if wo own
these, end prefer making the calculation
that way . It is nothing but au uldarith
metieal proposition, that given
amount, the greater the subtrahend (the
ai ,n::t to be subtracted) the less willin'
the '-emai.ider# Unfortunately for • • im
, f our farmers, sometimes the subi is head
is eaquxl, if not greater, than the minu
end. We might mention*several other
objects ns to planting largely in cotton,
hut left we should be tedious, we will at
pivsi-nt allude to only one more evil,
whi. h we tMuk 1 as Wen practically felt
bv seme of our fa,liners this year, and
that is that, by this course, ti..> farmer,
toa great or, at, places himself in the
j ewer of the hi’ era , and always has to
p e for Ins f<d!v. If lie would cHily plant
su all t otton crop-, whii h he could man
age well with the labor already on gap. and
be him for the year, he would be e. m

k-J on iri the Spring. Ii there any won
der that there remains no profit, in plant
ing cotton on such a plan as this ? This
is no fancy sketch, but practical illustra
tion of it. can bo show n in Brooks County
this very year. In fact, we have heal'd
of instances, where it was difficult to
10-ep bands, who had contracted for part
of the crop, from deserting their own
fields, and hiring to their neighbors, at
75 cents or SI ,00 per day. While we are
in favor of the negro getting fair and
just, compensation, yet any thinking man
will sec that the e extraordinary and ex
orbitant wages can be but temporary, and
in the end, must ritin the employer, and
be of no Hubtimtial benefit to the laborer.

We regret that some of our Radical
I friends don’t relish the strong doctrines
of the Bax.vuu, and therefore feel it. their
j duly lo step their paper. Wo had hoped
; that they would continue (heir subscrip
tion not because wo would agree with
them in polite but because the paper
might he otherwise intoeiding to them.
We promised to make wnr # personally
against no one, but wo do not propose to
abate one jot or tittle of our political
faith to conciliate any one. Those, how
ever, who consider it a crime to take a
Democratic paper, are perfectly consis
tent in writing, “stop my paper.” We
are not surprised that, some of our ideas
don’t suit them, and that they should
become a little n:ui - aU-d at, tin- princi
ples we advocate, and considerably rest,-
tees at our exposure of Radical misdoings.
Still, if they could be pursuaded to read
our paper, and consider well its truths,
if, might be beneficial to them. Because
medicine may be distasteful to a sick
man, does not show that it will not, be

if we could administer truth in sugar

but our experience is, that methods cal
culated to disguise medicines, and thus
render them palateable, uliuosi invariably
diminish their “power and efficacy. We
hardly think we could achieve much suc
cess on this hue, and we don’t intend to
try. We could have lull little j,i :■

Col. VI. B. Besnet : I concluded
when I lctiirnod to Quitman from my
visit i.i Athens, (la., that I would write a
short i omniunte'iition for your j.apcr, con
taining some little information in regard
j to matteTH ami things that came under
j my observation, connected with my visit.
I The object of my mission, as you are
aware, was to attend the annual exami-
I nation of the classes at the university of j
| (feorgia, under a eommisswn from his ex
| eclleney, the Oovernor, the apjiointrm i ts
i being made by him, under grid by virtue
1 of the following lav. :
! “The Governor shall appoint annually
j ten citizens of this State as a special
j hoard of visitors to attend the university
| examination preceding the annual com
-1 mcncements, and said committee by three
j of their number recommended by tb.-m,
! shall report to Ih>- Governor with the
: least possible delay, the character of said
'examination, ifiiid visitors shall receive
| for their services five dollars per diem,
estimating from the <]»! of their leaving
i their respective homes.” - Irwin's Hedged
I Cmle, Pot. 1206.
I The committee thus appointed, were
| engaged nine days, in earnest, zealous
j and unremitting diligence in the full and
| complete discharge of their duties, Ihe
| office under the present arrangement, is
iby no means a sinecure. The o ult, lam ,

I institution that, in [ :st days, has tent i

her classic walls. The State \trrir ultur-i

parent’s cniv and solicitude, il has al
ready, although scarcely one year old,
begun to shed its benign influences over
our State- encouraging the hearts of
many a, poor young man with the hope
of usefulness, and perhaps distinction in
his day and generation, who might,
otherwise, have realized in its fullest i v
tent, the following touching lines of the
poet :
