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, One!
