Homo idea of the woalth of this in-1 -dilution may be formed when it is re-! :allod that it has ovor one thousand ; 'in-tubers, and that tho prico of seats is ] ibout thirty thousand dollars each.

And the busi- j tess is constantly increasing, for as tho , 0 mntrv grows new securities aro created ! to be dealt in. Indeed, stook-gambling has become almost a national vice. So 1 ’ar, it is confined to those who arc fairly ; well-to-do, for at least one thousand 1 dollars aro required as margin for one! hundred shares of stock. On the Lon- 1 don Exchange ten shares is a good do- I livery, and is the unit of speculation. 1 Were ten-share lots regarded as good 1 delivery on tho New York Exchange, it j would lead to an immense extension of -took-gambling. Indeed, the gambling spirit is abroad. “Phantom,” that is, speculative sales and purchases, surpass by twenty-fold actual transactions in corn, wheat, cotton, pork, petroleum, and ail the great products of the country. It is theso vast speculative enterprises on the part of Americans which bring about our periodical and disastrous panics.—Dsmorest's Monthly.

Speech of thl* Vonerable Plonee' Planter Before tho L'tila Rock Convection of th> National Cot ton Planter's Association. It will be remembered that a re sol il 'ion va passed br tbe recent Convcn tlon at Little I’oc: requestingG tvetnqr l’attou to reduce to writing, fur ptibli cation in tbe Planters J lurnnl, his remark i on tho host means to promote the material interests of the South. In romp'un» with that remllltlon, this pioneer planter, who Is Vice President of the National Cotton Planters’ Asso ciation (or the State of Alabama, and "ue ol its most earnest officers, hni sent us a substantial reproduction of the speech in question, which is given be low. Governor Patton prefaced hie speech bv an interesting resume of the history of c itton culture, in whi :h he st ile:l that he cou d well remember the sales of public lands that ware made al Hnnt-villo, Alabama, in IRIS, when on amount of the then exi-ting idoi that no other section w is so well adapted to cotton us North Alabama, and especial Iv tbe valley of the Tonnes ee river, ibsnlutely unimproved lands were height at from 810 to $R0 pernere! Soon, however, tho purchasers of these lands at such inflated figures, discovered that other sections equaled and in 'oed su rpassed tho North Alabama district, and irre grnnted relief by Congress from the bard birgalns they bad struck with tho Government. Reaching the subieot under di'cuaslon, Governor Pilt m said. Tne prosperity of a country derend* upon Its productive industry, that kind of industry or huiiness whipli ere ates or makes something. Commerce is an honorable, legitimate and necessary busiuess, yet commerce does not actual ly create nnything. Trade is morel / an exchange of oommoditiesor an exchange of mcrchnndi*e for mone/. But what ever may lie tbe extent of thl (exchange the system itself adds nothing to tho volume of the articles hanlled. With those pursuit! which arc of a productive or creative character the case is entiicly different, and when we come to consider th9 various creative Industries, we find nothing more productive than the bus iness of manufacturing cotton. Grea principles may frequently to illustrated by very simple exnmp'elSMow let u» take an example of this kin#- A pound of int cotton is worth about 10 cents, changed into yarns t'-.e same pound is worth 20 ecu's, and changed into trx lie fabrics for tin chnipest, but most useful character for 0 olhing, its valui is not less than 50 cents. Ho it is with all other natural pro ducts, Tak i for itntnn tea pair or rath- cr a few pairs of shoes. A-s mniog that each piir is worth $3, 10 pairs of course are worth $30; this number of shoes could be produced from the leather of two sides, one upper leather and one sole leather. How much sre two hides worth when they rea:h the tannery? About $3. Supposing tho hides ti .be of ordiuary size, converted into leather, they are worth not iesi than 40, a clear recreate in value uf $0. Thus ha raw hides originally worth $3, by passing through a manufic'.uring process, ter minato in n value of $30, $27 being the difference in the value between the rav material and the manufactured articles This difference is ac’ ually and jnsiti rely created by changing the material. Why was this material worth anythin{ i'i the firBt place? Simply because it could l;e changed into loather. Tin- leather is worth more thn.11 rav hides were, but only because il lias undergone that change which was considered and con templated wlion its original value was fixed. It lias passed one step on tho path of manufacturing, but it lias not reached its dcstinati <11. Still it line sinrled, and t ie further it, gets away from the star ting point the more valuab'e it becomes. At the end of the first st pe the value has sne led to 49, and being now ready for immediate transform ition into shoes, Ihis transformation being effected, tbe objective icin'; is reached, ivitli a valu ation of |80 Our Southern people should manufacture since fir them selves and not pay tribute to other). Again, take the quantity cf ore nec essary to make a ton of iron. Tlii 1 ore, in a rough state, is not an article of traf fie in tho South, a il hence we ncc 1 not attempt to fix its value. In Georgia, Alabama, Tenne-ace ami oilier Southern States, tho red and brtwn Hematite ore is altogether inexhaustible, its proxim ity to c ml and limestone is such, that extensive iron furnaces are being e-tab- lished and already very large exports of blooms, pigs and manufactured iron are made and sent abroad. No section of the world can compete w ith us in the manufacture of iron, as in ninny por tions (•’ the South comparatively little labor* requisite to take it from the bed. Ibis will especially apply to my beloved Alabama. Then it lias to be subjected to such process as will expel the foreign substance, extract the pure iron, and put it into shape. Changed into the form of railroad iron bars, the ton is worth say $40 to 450. All this is literally created, to far as value is con cerned. A correct understanding of there rim pie examples will enable us to apply them underrtandinply to larger opera tions; and to appreciate the vast advan tages to be rieii cd from llic general business of 1111 nil lecturing, aa a creative industry. In its raw state a pound of cotton, at tuts time, is worth to the planter about 10 cents, at that rate a Itale of 603 paunda will yield 860 00. The vatu a of u pound manufactured into yarns, will be 60 cents, whilst the value of tho bale would lie 8250 00, and If in o floe fab les it may double or quadruple that. Ruppo-e the’annual crop of tho South in tho aggregate, amounted to 500,000 bales or oue-f"tirth of the crop raised ; upon this 50 ',0 0 biles the cott in planter, at 10 cents per pound nr '60 00 per bale, would receive $25,000,0.0, With this cotton clumped into tli" form of fabrics, its value would he 8125 00,00 , show ing a direct and pisitive incrca-e la val ue fr >m the time of leaving the bands of the planters till it leaves tbe loams of 100,000/00. Only think of tho stu pendous muss of wealth created by mere ly changing the form of cotton 1 B11 there is another view o' this great question which ahould be carefully ex amined in order to a full comprehension to its vast importanca. Where does tills increased value go to? And who enjoys those bent fils? Such interoga- tions as thrs.r nro very pertinent and very suggostive. Ills not very di(11 cult to start with the raw cotton and follow it through ihe different singes of manufacturing, which swells its value, but it require* ■ome care to ascertain how the augmen ted valuation is to he apportioned among the different agencies which caused it There is tho Increae I wenlth ; hut how is it proport'oned ? Where is the direct benefit, mid where is the remn‘.o ben- fit ? Among the immediate benefits that rhicli come in view with most promi nence, Is the profit of the manufactu rers. How much tlint is, cr will be, in the South, depends upon n var'ety of conditions to be aduisted, and deter mined aa the manufacturing husineaa pro/rcssea in this section. But the principle noon which this created wealth iad fi'nsed can be elucidated al this point without specific p-nof ns to whnt tho precise profit may be. The goncrnl statement may be safely made that ten per cent ia a good dividend upon capital invested. Nor is there nny hazard in slatlrg that this rate of profit will lie realized in the manufact uring of cotton. With this point paths factorinlly established, take a bale ol c itton, follow it through the proces*e> which swell its value, and sre wbm the I icroused valuation goes. The angmen taiion equals 8200. The manufacturer, however, sells tho fabrics arising from this halo for 8250, ten per cent on thl- amount ia 625. That ia his profit; and subtracted from tho gross help, there remains 8226. From tliis amount we deduct $50, ns tho cost of tho raw ma teri'il, and there yet remains $175. Wliat becomes of that? The planter has 850 for tho raw cotton, (ho capital 1st lias hla profit of 825, and we have still $175 to account for. Waoro.it irniv be again n«kcd, does this 8175 go to? Aftor tho producer ia paid, who ol'.o is there to receive anything? There nro a lew others to settle with, and who aro they ? Why they are no others than (he operatives who guide and direct the machinery which took hold of |50 worth of raw cotton and turned It Imre in a changed form, worth $250. But does nil of this $175 go to the operators? No, not all, but a very large part. There arc other expenses of operating 11 cotton mill. This calculation can be amplified po as to embrace one-tenth part of the en tire crop grown in the Southern 8'ste’. •Say 500,000 bales wrought into fabrics, arc worth $125,0' 0,000. Ten tier cent of this amount is $12,500,000. The manu facturing profit added to this $25,0 0, 000 to pay the producer for the raw ma terial, and we have a total of 837,500.- 000. Kubtractthis total from the 25,- 000,000, and the remainder is $87,500,- 000, to be expended in various w ys connected witli tho manufacturing bus- ine-s. The pay of the factory ojieratives who receive (he lcw.'st wages is equal to about $-10 for each bale of cotton aiinu ally consumed in thn factory. Tho numbers of such employes is about one band lo six biles of cotton. This would lie something like 83,000 op eratives for 500,000 bales,only one-tenth of the e.-timated annual crop of the South ; and the gross amount of this pay would be at least t20,b00,< 00 annu ally. There are other employes who on account of skill and special capacity receives higher pay. Then there are officers of companies and clerks. So the total amount of money for personal per vices and labor may bo safely put down nt $22,500,00 '—an amount which is al most equal to the total value of the raw material. After this part of the calcu lation is completed, we still have $05,- 000,000. Where does that go ? Whv it is just po much of a margin for inciifen- tal expensts connected with manufactu ring establishments,; for benefits over and above ten per cent., and possibly for too high an estnnntcof the gross value of the manufactured goods At any rate, the raw material and pay of operatives may be taken nt $47,5(10,COO. Above all that goes to incidental expenses and profits. That is clear. Within the Hamo margin we mu-t comprise the prof its to merchants and agents who handle the goods up to the time they are pur chased for home use. Laborers in factories have necessari- ally to purchase their living witn the proceeds of their labor. They receive their pay at regular intervals, say week ly or monthly. Having received their wage? they are prepared to provide sup plies for a week or a month. Thesesup- plica they procure from the grocer, the dry goods merchant, and in part, it may be from the farmer, always paying cash for what they purchase. While these operatives, taken as a whole, receive a large amount of tho money employed in the manufacturing business; yet they aro ai nunier.ua that tha nmo nt re ceived by each Is comparative')’ small; under a regular sy tern they w m'd bi paid as higli a rato of wage* as could 1 he afforded, yet under the mint favorahh onditiona, they, like people generally, would find their earnings about prop o tionatc to their necessary exnen-es ; with prudence and economy, something might be savid and accumulated. A thing which ia highly commendable, and should be encouraged; Still (her would be an expenditure of near'y the whole In ibis way tbe gross value ol goods manufactured of cotton which it paid to-employes find? its way directly into circulation in the immediate vicin ity of the factory. Figures such ’as these tell their own >-t''ry, their substantial 0 irrectncas can not be questioned. Conclusions drawn fr m them may lie accepted as s uind, and acted upon with safely. They form a sire foundation upon which business enterprises may be erected. In the light nf thn stubborn facts established by thesecomputationa, thccarnest advo cate of nuraut'iictoiics in the South is by no meiina open to the imputation of be ing nn impracltble idealist. When we appeal for efforts' to realize the ndvan (ages which may he enjoyed by thia branch of creative industry, we nre prompted by something more real than tho delusive phantasms of IftopisB dreams. Wn are aiming at praeticnl business and not indulging in visionary sentimentality. We are nnt pursuing an impalpable phantom which lenda us on by an alluring, and a fascinating t' mp- tutlon, hut never allows us to take hold •f it We are after rnmething which can las reached If wc onlv proceed with well directed energy, and timely judg ment. Manufacturing then, in the 8011 them States, create? wealth. The manufact urer receives curb for Ida fabrics, tie operatives receives cash f r their labor, the merchant receives cadi for his good-, tbe mechanic receives cash for the art! cles which he makes, the farmer reoeives cash for his products; which finds a ready sale in the villngrs, towns and clt ins, which grnw up under the nu-pices of inanufuct tiring. Trade fioiiri-hes, the money which flows from thin created wealth, being thrown Into tne regular channels of business, finds its way to all classes of the community. But thl• is not all. By a properly developed sya- tem of manufacturing, this money will remain In the community n here it L made. Generally spcakiiitr, it may he mnunclnted as pricticable to make in tho South every article used here, wheth er tho making of the article require- skilled er unskilled laborers, though more or lois skill maybe reqnlrid In nil. By this line of policy t' 0 exports of the Southern Btstcs may bo grcatlv in creased, while the Imports mu-tof nrers sity be diminished. Wo must send ibrond more in value of onr Wmtbern products, and depend less upon foreign labors and productions. It is a plain principle In political economy tlint nn iovernment, state, county or municipal ity, nor family or individual can pros per and grow rich win re tho expendi tures exceed the income. If an humble negro receives annually for Ills hire$l 0 •rad oxppnds 8110 in the same time, it is vciy evident that lie will always lie poor If thn citizens of any Southern Rtnto export cotton and other products, if less value than what ia manufactured in the North and brought H rath for con sumption ; it is onlv a question of time when that Plate will be bankrupt, and reduced to extreme poverty. If, how ever, a Southern Hlate cm, by incress ing the value of cotton raised in such •bate by manufacturing it into yarns anil fabrics beforo it is scut abroad, II. 11? increasing largely its imparts, tlint ■itale sviP, doubtless, grow rich and prosperous IA*t us, therefore, abandon the prevail ing opinion that we are totally depend ent on Northern capital and lalmr to manufacture the cotton raised under the sun of the Month, to lie returned to us in fabrics at high and paying rates, thereby adding largely to the wealth of millionares in ihe North, whoso im mense estates have accumulated by the manufacture of cott n, making the peo ple of the Mouth “ hewers of wood and drawers of water.” Let it no longer Ire said that we must stand still and not go forward for want of capital and skilled laborers. There is in the Hoiithern .States an abundance of capital, if our prople will have confidence to invest in suen enterprises as will contribute to the general prosperity of the country. If, however, large amounts of capital are not on be found’ with enterprising citi zens disposed to embark in erecting cot ton mills, let planters and others organ ize into partnership or chartered compri niea, thereby consolidating the smaller amounts of cafitai for the purpore of manufac uring, and if nceu lie, these organizations can commence on a limi ted, safe scale, and gradually increase it until by investing and re-investing ihe dividends and profits derived from the enterprise, the company becomes weal thy and prosperous. By this process large fortunes have already been accu mulatcd and cities built up in the 8 rath. The model Mtatc of Go irgia has taken tbe lead in this regard. She is very rap idly building up her manufacturing cities with capital belonging to citizens of the State. * At her Augusta, her Ma con, her Columbus, and more recently, tier prosperous Atlanta, thousands of needy laborers have profitable employ ment Tbe States of North Carolina and Mississippi, I am glad to notice, are also doing much in this direction. Let ill the Cotton States follow the good narnple, tin’ll the happy influence of 'ho manufacturing of cotton, iron, wool, rad all other Southern products -linll In felt, not only in tho South, but (1st- rliere. The industrial industries of the Mouth- irn States must bo si diversified ns t» five employment to all cl is'es of labir Ye have ill tho H .utliera Htates a large (mount of labor which is now entirely reproductive, not being well suited to igrirutturn! pursuits, or tilling the earth n Ihe way of raising cotton, Mtgir, rice w tobacco, which Is the work of the Southern planter ; neither is that labor well suited to tbe pursuits of farming, (rowing grain, grasr, stock, etc , but it •an lie profitably emplovcd in manufac turing. Thn class nf population to which I re fer is, of court), the femn'o labor, or the least able of tbe men and beys, whose iclive employment in thn cotton mills vlll of necessity, be more remuneratiro 'or (liemselvea as well ns for the country r his species of labor, ns shown bv stn I-tlcul reports, produers far more for ‘xportnlinn In Now F.nglnnd, and In the ither manufacturing Htates, than the xborsof able-bodied men, whilst in the Mon 1 hern Htates this labor ia entirely unproductive. Moreover tho class of ) ’pulstinn to which I refer (so profita bly employed at tli.i north) must of nv ces-ity, lie supported ill the Poll III, whore thoy nre consumers and not pro- hirers. Among lids worthy class are to lie found thousinds, who ware made aior and dependent by the results of ho late war, they want employment ult’d to their condition, and will glnd- V engage na operatives in cotton facto ries, thereby c mtribuling in tbe impor tant work of increasing in value the nrndnet of tbe H rath before it is sent abroad. Tne molded men, or cnpitalisla of the Hou'h, and I may say also of tho North- ■rn States, who Invest money in the unmifneUiring of eott ui in the Mmth- irn Htates, may properly b- regarded aa nihlic benefactors, giving employment to the destitute and poor, by which, with fnitli r ill labor, they ean maintain ind support themselves and growing children, and in doing this it can be lemonstrnted, beyond doubt, that cap- tul thus invested in manufacturing enn lie made more productive of profit to the capitalist than in any other portion •f the world. Hotwrou 80° and 86.30'’ North latitude wo have not only a mild and suitable climate for growing cotton, but (he mildness and uniformitv nf It will rival any other for the manufacture of cotton yarns and fabrics. At Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, and "l-ewhere in New England, at 42° of North latitude, the cotton mills encoun tered much dillieulty from protracted cold wratbor, making it necessary for a large portion of tho year to use furnaces for artificial brat, at a heavy co-t. In tho Month no such difficulty or inter ruption exists. Here we era onrrato notion and other manufactories (lie en tire yoar, owing to the mild and pleasant climate, which tho God of nature has kindly given to ns, Then again, wo have in the Mouth, at the dour of cnllon factory, the raw mo- terial, earing nil ri«k and expense of transportation, ns well n< injury to the fiber l.v eln«e packing and compressing the bile, nee s«uiy for shipment, from the grower to the Northern factory.

Its fresh, crrccu leaves open out in the spring. It is a most vigorous grower, and bears transplanting remarkably well. Were Its qualities known it would be valued is ati ornamental tree in any northern country. In tbe spring tne ash-leaf jnaple yields a sweet sap from which j'xoellcnt sugar can be made, tho chief I rouble-being that at the time the sap .flows the flooding of the river makes It difficult to roach tho trees. On the -bores of the streams which enter the Red River, and especially near their mouths, basswood grows in great abund ance, and ironwood of a largo size oan be met with.—Chicago Times. —Tho death is announced, from the n patent co ist ot Africa of King Oraoru.
