A SUBJECT FOR COTTON PLANTERS.
Editors Ciironic’e & Sentinel : Y nr
roce nr expose of the h>sx needlessly sustainx
ed I>v the cotton producer, in tiie u just
O ff r *'ice io prices in our market ai.d
oi Europe, imperatively culls I t the seri
ous conniderati jn of the country as to the
bc-t means of redressing an enormous
grievance. A perusal of the able address
c f M j >r Cooper will go far to confirm the
neee-xity of prompt and united action.
Novr is the time to consider the question,
one paramount just now. The business of
the year 1809 is ended for us, and in most
ea-ex thp arrangements are perfected for the
n< x . Each man can tell what surplus, if
an\, is utt from past operations. lie has
jmt now, as previously, only to search for
the advertised sales of negroes in January;
tut the contrary, he is troubled, if he has
any, to know what to do with bis money.
Thfro are no political issues to divert his
attention from the consideration of his pri—
v,t e interest. Congress, nothing more than
an ii' satiation like to that of “forty thieves,”
have tuned the Spate and pecple to a
branch 1 and of robbers in our midst, and
k 1! we cm do is to watch the perpetrators
until tin y can he brought to iustice, and in
the meanwhile invest our money in enter
prise beyond theii reach. To obtain all
tha* our cotton is worth, and to be paid in
g dd instead ot a fluctuating and irradeemx
able currency, the only possible plan seems
clearly to be the direct exportation of our
staple from our own ports to tboso of Eu
rope. The South never will be a great,
prosperous and independent ration until
this is done. Besides, the immense savings
in dollars, it is the only possible mode of
turning the tide of European immigration
to our own shores. There is not a single tie
but that of force that now binds us to the
N-«rto; her prosperity and greatness do not
emt 'P. as it used to do, one single thrili of
jrde or admiration. Tyranny, oppression,
cruclry, wrong and injustice have made us
ten times a more distinct and separate peo>
p ! e than the sucess of our struggle for in
dependence could have done. We need,
tl er-pf,sre, have no scruples as to the injury
that might secure 30 the Northern portion
of this miscalled Republic. As we cannot
be slaveholders, why should we not be ship'*
( \v; ers ? Why should we not send our own
pr dace in our own ocean steamers? AH
that is neceseary is to form a company and
then let every planter that has five hundred
ir five thousand dollars surplus greenbacks
t ike stock to that amount, and ship on bis
own vessel half or the whole of his crop.
The return cargoes may be ex igrants at and
g'ods for cur own omporters in our own
t urns. You may even send your order to
L ir.don for your own surplies as our ances
tors did, when George the Third was King.
Are there not one thousand men in Georgia
who can spare five hundred dollars each
for this purposo? Are there not five tilin'-
dred who can devote one thousand each to
this profitable and patriotic purpose ? and
five hundred thousand would go a long way
toward the accomplishment of the enter
p’ bo.
In slavery times, while the South held an
immense sum locked up in negroos, yet
os to ready money we were the poorest
among the nations. It was a very difficult
thing to find a eotton planter wno could
raise five hundrcd|dollars in an emergency
—his only recourse was his factor, and tni.s
tl en to be paid out of his next crop. The
ti ason was that we were a people of one
idea—we had but one species of property,
nr.d but one interest—the inevitable “nig
ger.” We had no diversity of interest,
no dividends coming in at the opportune
moment. We had no bonds, no stocks, no
ownership in deeply laden ships—knew
nothing and cared nothin g for anything but
negroes and bonds. The writer does little
nmre than make both ends meet, but noth
ing would give him grater pleasure than to
devote every dollar he conld spare, and
more too, to tho object contemplated. Will
not the leading merchants and shipers of
( ur State and othe” leading merchants take
hold and push the enterprise to success?
Decide upon a port—Savannah, Port Royal
or Charleston —send agents broadcast
throughout tho land, urge it np<m the plant
ers, and SIOO, or SI,OOO >r SIO,OOO subscrip
tions. Money is all that is needed, and it
can be obtained if the right men ask lor it,
and make su e that it will not be stolen or
squandered. The Atlantic is as easily,
as punctually and safely crossen now in a
steamed in ten or twelve days as Savannah
River is in a canoe. Why should not all
the powerful press “peg-awav” ut it until
the mind of the country is convii cce.
Our cotton factors might discourage tho
undertaking because it cnnflicts with their
interests, and being a numerous and influ
ential body ' f men, they might exercise an
adverse it flueuce upon their customers, but
I believe that even their interest would
yield to their patriotism in this case, and if
not, they would see that the success of the
project would open new channels of busi
ness and trade of which they would bo the
first and the most competent to seize the
advantages. Let Us Try.
A New Lab'R Movement South.— The
N. Y. World, of the 20th, has the follow
ing :
An important labor movement is at pres
ent on trial in the South,which, if as success*
ful as it promises, will render the planters
practically independent of colored labor.
The unsatisfactory character ot the negro
workers has already compelled the Southern
farmers to devise numerous expedients bv
which this labor can be supplemented or
dispenccd with. The latest of these is an
attempt to employ the laborers of the West
in the Southern cotton and sugar fields.
The harvest in the West is over about the
time the cotton picking begins, and long
before the time of cane- cutting. Therefore,
by importing during the fall and winter to
the South, the laborers who had garnered
the crops of Illinois, Minnesota, lowa, etc.,
employment is furnished at a time when it
re scarce in the West, and most valuable as
sistance is obtained in the South. Thous
ands of workmen have for this purpose been
transferred this season from Illinois to
Louisiana, anl elsewhere in the South.
The lailroad and steamboat companies
make reasonable reductions, the passage
from Chicago to New Orleans, costing but
sl2. One advantage which seems certain
is that, by the translation of these workers,
the attention of an cxcelent class of immi
grants will be called to the rich South.
Now, the suggestion which this scheme
mak<B in its very statement, is: Why
cannot the laborers of our Eastern cities be
translated in the same way, during the
winter, to the South.
The famous Cora Pearl has reform
ed. She won, recently, some money at the
Baden-Baden gambliug hell, and with it
she bought a little villa at Belleville, where
she says she will live in strict retirement.
Her diamonds are said to be worth nearly
three hundred thousand francs, and a lead-*
ing Parisian jewelry firm has offered to pay
her for them an annual pension of eighteen
thousand francs during her life time,
