SHE ADVERTISER. •ATTYERTISBfi'FUSLISHING CO. -Oadartown, Ga., Mar -20. "WM. BRADFORD, - Editor .Cuttea Prospects. The Agi-icuHnrnl .Bureim, 'Cotton, for the ten.cr twelve dayr ending last Saturday, averaged it •Liverpool fourteen cents and m thi principal American -markets, Me* York,(Baltimore -and Philadi lj>hia. thirteen cents,'or perhaps an eighth or a quartet higher. This rapid rist in fhe price of cot*on, as usual, has giver, a wonderful impetus to specu lation and has thrown the commer olal world into commotion and con fusion, and we begin to read, in the daily papers, of the clashing in of a rstrop.g house now ai.d then. The Southern planter has again been • drawn into the vortex, and strange ' to say, lias so far come out winner, -with all the piospects, until a few days ago, in his favor. What may be the result, however, if he persists, trequires no extraordinary powers to foresee, the chances beii g, we think, that his winnings will finally consist altogether of experience. The-opinion has generally prevail ed that the supply of cotton-is a half million bales less now than was this time last year. The N\ w York Commercial says this state ment is not time. It is true, says this paper, so far as concerns the supply now in the hands of the sel lers, but the spinners have on hand a larger supply than usual, they bav- > ing tieen induced to purchase more than they needed for immediate • consumption, because of the impres sion that they might soon encounter some difficulty in obtaining a suffi ciency to keep them running. The Commercial, after a very careful ex amination of the whole subject, states, that the sellers are 480,000 bales shorter than they were at this time last year, but the supply fceJd by spinners is 200,000 greater than at a corresponding time last year, thu making the supply 280,000 instead of 480,000 bales short as has been generally believed. ■The tendency now of the staple, * from the market reports, is down ward and no human vision can see to what depths it may go before the present crop comes in and is dispos ed of. The farmer who is basing his calculations on receiving twelve * • cents for his crop this fall and who is becoming more extravagant, or rather “r.aching out” on account of such calculations may find that he has “reckoned without his host” and be forced to sell again, as he did last season, at prices ranging from ■ six to niur cents. We have strong ‘ hopes that they will go no lower than these figures. Cotton men, it siems, are more sanguine of higher prices this fall than they have been for several years, hut it is the expe rience of every man who has sold a few crops that the opinions even of extensive dealers in cotton upon this slre - question are usually not worth a g rote. The Georgia State Agricultural Society, at its meeting in IL.urkins- ville last Febrimgy, appointed a cent- niittee of throe of its mcmbeie to prepare a short history of the Depart ment of Agriculture and of w hat ii has done and is doing to adva-ice th. great agricultural intereg-g of (hi State.

In the June number of this maga zine, which has been liberally pat ronized by the people of the South to the exclusion of Harper’s, which had grown unpopular because of its constant defamation of the South, there is an editorial on “Southern Civilization,” which for wholesale slander and unbridled mendacity is without precedent in any j-urnal or magazine we have ever lead which pretended to have any regard for truth, * * * * After saying that “murder is com mitted, and the murderer shak: s his bloody hands at the law every where and walks the streets with entire freedom and impunity,” we are treated to the following: “We read of banditti iu Italy who make it unsafe for a traveler w ho has any money to get outside the lines ol ordinary travel, and we wonder at" the imbecility of a Government that can give him no protection, and at the low state of civtlizarion that renders such abuses and outrages possible. We have no longer any reason to look ahead for anomali-s of this sort.
