Cotton.
As we never raised a hundred pounds
„ of this staple, in our life ; we do not
propose, to write an article on its culti
vation. Our readers who wish infor
mation on that subject, can obtain,'it,
in the agricultural journals of the
South.
But we do wish to say a few words,
on the subject, of too little corn and Loo
much cotton. In an article copied from
the Memphis Avalanche'upon-this sub
ject, to which we beg' the ‘attention of
ouWjanters—R will be s’een that the esti
mates for the next crop are large. Now
does not every man who can read know,
that an excessive crop, (say three and
a half millions of bales) will —as cer
tainly as time continues—greatly re
duce the price. The Avalanche esti
mates th: price of the next crop, at
from 15 to 18 centsl This we fear is
too liberal, and in the present unsettled
condition of the country and the cur
rency—is it not more probable, that
prices will range between ten and fif
teen cents ? we greatly fear it, and in
that event, what is to become of those
planters—who neither raise corn nor
meat? Beiow io cents, cotton at present,
will scarcely p«v the cost of production,
certainly not more. There was a time
when it could have' been raised at less
cost, hut that time is past.
‘•A . prudent man forese'eth the evil
and hideth himself".’ said the wise man.
Now if an excessive crop will bring down
the price below the cost of. production,
wouid it nut be wisdom on the part of
Southern planters not to glut the mar
ket hy an over crop ? answer for your
selves. ‘
But let us look at it from another
stand poiny : if a crop of. from two, to
two and a half millions of bales, can
be sold, at from '20 to 30 cents per-
pound ; would you not make more clear
money, by a less crop,' than a large one,
or au excessive one t 1 Think of it, and
remember also that the les3 crop will
require less outlay in money to gather
and prepare for market, l^o small ar
gument by the way in its favour.
But you have already planted all
your best land in cotton. IIow about
Corn ?—have you planted enough, to
insure au ample supply for the next
individual who trains with the minority
might just as well yield without^ strug
gle, Now and tlieji au ••unmanageable
member will kick over the traces and
vote according to his conviction, as the
irascible but unstable Bingham did the
Other day in the Louisiana case; but
these eccentricities never affect the gen
eral resuit. And the extraordinary
spectacle is presented, whenever one of
these judicial questions is submitted to
the House of Representatives, of the
tacts being interpreted in one ' way by
the members of one party and’tn the
opposite way by members of the other
party. YYl at a high estimate-of Con
gressional purity and indepe'ndence this
state ol th ngs is calculate l to impress
on the public*uiiiid ! •• -
There is but' oue remedy for. this
abuse and for the systematic contempt
of popular elections whifeh it ' brings
with it, and that :s for the House tb re
nounce ail interfereiicetpith thg'mal’ter.
Whoever presents the proper creden
tials of election 'should be admitted to
his seat, and if any person contests his
right to it let him do it befbre the' ju'
diti.il authorities of his State. If the
Governor of a State gives a certificate
6l election imprbperly that question
should be tested there, hot in'Wash
ington. The courts are the proper fo
rum for the adjudication of the ques
tion and to them it should be remitted.
The present system is nothing but a
gross partisan trampling on private and
public right. What member will be
honest enough to initiate a measure
that will put an end to it and restore
some little confidence in the finality of
popular elections ?
Cut Worms.—Whoever manures his
garden with stable compost is sure to be
troubled with cut worms, and we know
nothing connected with gardening more
annoying than to have plants destroyed
as they coine up or as soon as they are
set out in beds. The free use of salt
on the beds it is said will protect your
young plants before transplanting. Of
this we are not sure. But a very sim-
pie plan which we have followed for
years, affords almost perfect protection
to the plants after transplanting. The
worm cuts our cabbage not because he
prefers it to other diet, but generally,
because, we clean our beil.s carefully
before transplanting, and the newly set
plants constitute the only green food
accessible. Now at this season and la
ter when our beds are covered with
young grass and weeds of all kinds,
there is no necessity at all for having
your plants destroyed by the worm—
an 1 if you will set them out, removing
only so much of the young growth as
would interfere with their growth, the
worm will not trouble them. Of course,
so soon as the plant is large enough to
be safe, the bed should be thoroughly
cleaned.

vorably known in Georgia as one of
the ablest and most eloquent lawyers
in the State, as well as a gentleman of

The Loudon 'Junes has recently put

ted on four of these improved machines,
which were designed and manufactur
ed in its own establishment, and have
been patented bulb in England aud in
this country.
The ‘Walter press’(so named in hon
or of the propiietor of the Times) is a
machine that p ints from a roff bt pa
per instead of from sheet as is done by
the Hde printing press, ^t prints on
both sides of the paper by the same
process; afterward cutting the paper
into sheets and tie.i vermg them in piie-.

the Bullocit droning machine, except

first process, wiAsl in'the Y^.uliei press

dent of the South Carolina Institute,
from Commodore M. F. Maury:

Lexington, Va , March 2o, idfo )
Dear Sir:—I have this morning your
very kind let er of the 21st, extending
an inv tation to the Convention that
has been called by the South Carolina
[nsiiiuie, to meet in the City of Charles
ton on ti e 3d of Mav next.
It would give me great, pleasure to
be present if my health permitted, for
I have been an invalid for several
months, and now have to write with
the pm of another.
I am glad however, to see this move
on the part of South Carolina, for what
wre lack in a great degree is the
spirit to act in concert—not through
the Legislatures, for they d > not al
ways reflect the Southern sentiments,
but tnr ugh the true Southern people.
Lips move looks in that direction, and
I hope it will lie fo iowed up, become
gncral throughout the South, and be
attended with w holesome practical re
sults.
As for immigration—I mean foreign
lrnnriigarti ui—lam not aware of any
measure in any one of the S luthern
State*, except perhaps Texas, which
seem likely to induce it. So far as I
can judge from the little that. I can see
of tire temperof Southern Legislatures,
we are noiriiteiy' soon to have ai.y, un
less tl e people vviii move in concert
ami insist upon it.

They, therefore, should pledge the

You observe that I lay stress upon
foreign immigration, and I do so desij
nediy, because it will be more advan
tageous to the South than immigration
from the neighboring States of tin;
North. That ha- sufficient encourage
inent in the laws aud natural resources
of the S 'Utii; but 'you observe .that
immigration from abroad will draw af
ter it far greater advantages than those
which follow domestic immigration.
D.ome.'tic immigration adds nothing
to the national wealth or the industrial
energies ‘of a country; it is a mere
transfer of labor from one department
to another in the same establishment
neither does it increase the population
if the country. Foreign immigration
