Col. Lockett's System or Planting.
For the general good we propose a few
articles on the improved system of plant
ing and cultivating corn and cotton under |
the intelligent management of CoL B. G ■ j
Lockett
On Tuesday last, in company with him- |
self and Captain Y. G. Bust, we visited j
two of his plantations, six miles northwest j
of this city—the Fowl-town and Hill places.
At the former, which is one of the best, if j
not the very best cotton plantation in this I
or any other State, we found the entire
force engaged, in the same field, in de- !
positing fertilizers and bedding for the !
seed. The ground had been broken up to j
the depth of 12 to 14 inches, and the soil :
being thoroughly pulverized, was as mel
low as an ash-bed. Four teams —two
mules to the plow—long clay reaching
shovels—were leading the main force in
laying off the rows, four feet apart,
straight and parallel. Across these rows,
in the centre of the field, an ox team was
distributing a line of sacks filled with the
prepared fertilizers. Next came eight of
the Daw Law cotton planters' and Guano
Distributors, so gauged as to distribute
the desired quantity to the acre. These
distributors deposit the preparation at the
bottom of the seed furrow made by the
double teams, being supplied as they
passed the liac of sacks by hands standing
ready for that purpose.
Next followed the bedding force—thirty
two fine, fat, fast walking mules, pulling
thirty-two of Watt Plows. With these
four furrows are thrown to the enriched
furrow, raising a flat smooth mellow bed,
and leaving in the middle a small ridge.
The ground is now ready for the seed,
which are deposited in the bed directly
over the fertilizer, with the same planter
that deposited the guano, and covered
with a light harrow with one tooth on each
side.
The seed thus planted come up in a line
as straight as an iron rail, tangent, scarcely
as broad as an iron rail, and a little indent
ed from the surface outside the harrow fur
rows. The next process is the splitting of
the ridge in the middle of the row, which
is done with a shovel just large enough to
throw the soil to the opposite top of the
furrow on each side of it. This ends the
plowing and the hard work is over with.
As soon as the cotton is large enough,
the whole force is supplied with light 26
inch sweeps, which are run twice to the
row, and just far enough from the cotton
to lap one or two inches in the centre.
These sweeps merely skim the surface,
never being permitted to sink to a greater
depth than i inch, and they throw only
dirt enough to the cotton to fill the inden
ture made by the Planter and the covering
harrows, while they droop to the centre of
the row and.till the middle furrow. This
leaves a low, slightly curved bed—the cot
ton being on the highest line.
The entire crop being thus gODe through
with, the sweeps are laid aside, the mules
are turned in the lotto rest and recuperate,
and all hands are mustered for the chop
ping process. When the chopping and
weeding to a stand is completed, the hoes
are laid aside no more to be used, and the
sweeps are used only to keep the grass
down by surface plowing.
Thus it will be seen that the main work
for the crop is in the preparation of the
land, and the planting ; and that all sub
sequent work is above the roots of the
plant, and so light that laborers and mules
frolic and fatten through the summer.
In our next we shall give an account of
Col. Lockett's preparation ol fertililers, and
his mode of planting and cultivating corn ;
and follow with the kind of implements he
uses, his hiring system, discipline, general
management and results.
Destruction of the Cotton Worm.
From the Mew Orleans Picayune.
We have been recently much interested
in an invention for the destruction of the
cutcrpillar, which for some years has been
ho ravenous an enemy to the cotton crop.
The story of the inventor, as narrated
to us, was much as follows :
During last season, as I was reading, as
usual with me of evenings, by the light of
an ordinary lamp, I was much disturbed
by a species of eandlo fly. *lt appeared to
mo to he tho most stupid fly of the kind
i had ever seen. Nothing would drive
them from the light, and morning found
the floor strewed with dozens of them,
which had perished from their devotion to
the burning light.
From their number and the season, I
suspected they were tho moth of the army
worm, so destructive to cotton- From in
quiry and investigation I found this to be
the fact. The idea occurred to me how
easy it would ho to construct a lamp that
would effectually destroy the moth, the
mother of the whole brood of the army
worm. After many attempts and im
provements, it resulted in the construction
of a lamp which will cost but seventy-five
cents, and with fifty cents of oil, will, I
believe, accomplish tho desired result.
Tho lamp is made of tin entirely, upon the
plan of the wide awake lamps used in po
litical processions. Over the lamp is a
shade of the ordinary size, coming to a
point at the eone. The top of the cone is
perforated with holes just too small for the
moths to escape through them, although
so large as to iuvitc the attempt.
This shade is supported by three sup
ports made of large wire, which are at
tached to the outer rim of a vessel, nearly
equal in diameter to the shade. This ves
sel is to have perpendicular sides about
two inches high. In the middle of this
vessel the lamp is to be placed. The ves
sel is to ho filled half lull with any fluid
that will destroy the moth. Water, with
a couple of tablespoons of oil added, would
probably he tho be<t. The object of this
vossol is to drown such of the moths as are
not burned to death in the apex of the
shade.
The experiment has never been tried,
but it is confidently believed that at a com
paratively small expense a sufficient num
hor of these lamps can be obtained to af
ford a complete exemption of tho cotton
crop from the ravages of tho worm.
Twenty-five of these lamps would place
one at every corner of every acre in a six
teen aero field. r l his can be readily veri
fied by drawing a field four acres square
and counting tho oorners of acres. One
hundred and thirty-two lamps would do
the same for a field of one hundred acres.
It is believed that experience will demon
strate that even a much smaller number
might answor. The flight of all moths is
extremely irregular and shifting in its
course. This would neoessarially bring a
moth every minute in close proximity to a
lamp, which would insure its destruction.
With the number of lamps above
given, a moth could never be at any time
at a greater distance from a lamp than
about oue hundred and six feet. The
light would probably attract him for the
whole of that distance.
The common anchor oil can be procured
at fifty cents per gallon; one gallon per
lamp would be an over supply for the sea
son. The lamp is to be constructed with a
capacity to burn not more than three hours.
This is long enough, because the moth is
most active in the early hours of the night,
and in that time all the moths that were
on the wing would be destroyed. It would
not be necessary to light the lamps of
rainy evenings or very windy weather, be
cause during such weather the insects
sticks close to cover and docs not stir about.
It is the third crop of caterpillars that
does the damage. Some three weeks or
more intervene between the different crops.
If the second accession of moths was closely
observed they might be destroyed in a
very few evenings, so that the consumption
of oil would be very light, and the expense
materially diminished. A gallon of oil to
each lamp would probably answer for
burning the lamps for sixty nights.
The only mode of successfully overcoming
the caterpillar is by destroying the moth
that propagates it.
It is believed the lamp will be equally
efficacious in destroying tho boll worm,
that annually destroys, in every field,more
than twice the cost of the lamps.
The lamps can be obtained at the tin
store of A. tfimou. No. 104 Charters-strect,
at nine dollars per dozen, and any person
disposed to try the experiment is at liberty
to do so without any compensation what
ever to the inventor.
The experiment should be carefully
tested in fields to which the worm cannot
find access by migration.
So much for what appears to us to be
a very plausible scheme for ridding the
country of that terrible pest, the cotton
caterpillar.
The inventor calls his lamp the Cotton
Guard. X. Y.
Rich Pastures. —To make rich and
productive pastures, we must anticipate
nature thoroughly, stocking the land with
a good variety of grasses, such as are pala
table and nutritious; that resist drought
and grow at low temperatures ; that are
large growers, and spring quickly after
being cropped. It is necessary tojtive a
liberal allowance of seed, inorder to prevent
the growth of worthless and injurious in
digenous plants; and owing to their gre- i
girious habits, grasses plant closest and I
thrive best when in considerable variety.
Such a system of sowing down is more in
accordance with tho teachings of nature,
which is strewing the surface of the earth 1
with a profuse variety of pasture plants,
meant to furnish to the herbs and flocks ‘
nutrimeut fitted to replenish the waste and
sustain the animal functions.

Mechanical Aid ID Agriculture.
Two distinct classes, which may be
( termed the old school aDd the new, at pres
ent operate in the field of agriculture. The
j farmer, with a stubborn tenacity, holds to
i the t jo's and modes of working as handed
down to them by their ancestors, actually
driving the same wooden plow that their
fathers drove, cnttiDg their fields of grass
with the heavy hand scythe as did their
1 progenitors, laboriously beating the flail in
the very same manner as they beat the
grain from the golden sheaves ; and we
recollect to have seen, and that too withio
; the past few years, the ox used upon the
1 threshing floor to tread upon the grain.
! It will be noticed that this class of farm
ers disdain to use mechanical assistance in 1
their agricultural labors, considering them
j as one of the many humbngs of the age,
designed by sharpers to filch the “hard
: earned’’ dollars out of their pockets. They I
argue that their fathers lived and prosper
ed on those broad acres, and why should
\ they not do the same ? But they admit
that they do not prosper as did their an
ccstors, though following faithfully in their
footsteps, plowing, sowing and reaping
precisely in the same manner, using the
same tools, and lacking not the habits of
industry which distinguish those that
wrought before them; yet the stubborn
conviction forces itself upon their minds
that they do not grow richer, but rather
poorer, and their fields grow less product
ive. They often lean upon their gates or
rest upon the hoe handle and discuss their
situation with their neighbors,
endeavoring to solve the knotty problem;
they lament their hard lot and unprofit
ableness of farming,and envy that class ot
mechanics who have a greater share of
money than themselves. We regret that
| ideas of this kind are early instiiled into
the minds of their sons and daughters,
who, at an early age, barely fledged as it
were, in order to better their oondition,
| leave their paternal home and seek employ
ment in towns and cities, eagerly grasping
I the oportunity of a clerkship with a salary
that can barely give support, consoling
themselves with the idea that as farming
“does not pay,"they are no worse off than
: they would be at home.
Another generation will see this class of
. old school agriculturists disappear from
the field of action, and the class of scienti
fic farmers will have filled their places—a
| class who believe in progress and improve
ment, and hesitate not to turn from the
manner in which their fathers wrought.
' They value their muscle, and seek to do
th< ir work by the aid of steam or animal
power, and such mechanical combinations
as can best assist to perform what was
once accomplished, by the “sweat of the
brow.” They have called the genius of
the mechanic to their aid, and, as a result,
the mower, the reaoer, the threshing ma
chine, and scores of other inventions have
been produced, accomplished the desired
end.
As one of the results of this employment
of machinery, we see the less hours of
actual labor consumed, and a greater
amount of work finished in a better man
j ner. No farmer can now prosper without
| mechanical appliances, and these being
among the stern demands of the present
time ibeir best points are brought out and
to “pay.” Without them failure is an
evident certainty. The life of the agricul
turist is fast emerging from one of servile
labor to that of intelligent and pleasant
employment, bringing, when rightly con
ducted, golden sheaves of harvest, laden
with the increase ot an hundred fold from
the seed originally sown.— American Ar

The Next Cotton Crop.
The following is an article from the
Montgomery Mail. Our planters are the
best judges of the views of “Planter” and
their applicability to the cotton crop of
Georgia:
In times past, much harm has been done
the planting interest of Alabama by the in
tern perate and exaggerated accounts which
the press has given of the prospects of the
crops. In general, you have not been ex
cited over fine seasons, or unduly depressed
by the worms, drought, and like disasters
to the crop; hut in the main, have given
lair and accurate accounts. It is, there
fore, that I appeal to you to counteract,
now, some of the foolish newspaper ac
counts which begin to flood the country,
about the crops. One of the city papers,
for instance, tells us that there “never was
a finer season,” and that there is more
land in cotton than at any time since
the war. Now, Mr. Editor, all this is
nonsense ; and is calculated to barm the
best interests of the country. If the pros
pects of a cotton crop are overstated, it
works injury to the whole State. It in
duces advances and expenditures, which
cannot be met with the proceeds of the
crops. These erroneous estimates induce
merchants to buy goods—basing their esti
mate of trade upon the false accounts of
the cotton crop ; and in a country like
ours, where every interest is dependent
upon the planter, incalculable injury is
done If the cotton crop is underrated,
like evils follow. When the true produc
tion is known, prioes are unsettled—credit
is lowered, with the decline in the price of
cotton —debtors push their creditors for
fear that, although the crop with prosent
prices may liquidate all debts—that it may
continue to decline until the price obtained
will uot suffice. But it is useless to .say
further upou this subject. Every sensible
man knows the truth of these things.
Will you not see to it, that only correct
and fair accounts of the crops are given ?
The Cotton Giop of 1809, will he one
third less than that of 1868 1 This may be
startling ; but it is nevertheless true. Let
us look at the reasons for entertaining this
belief.
Ist. The season has been most unfa
vorable. The wet Spring has retarded tho
ploughing and preparation of the lands,
and in some instances, prevented it al
together until lately. The same cause has
prevented the same number of acres being
planted, as in 1868. The heavy ploughing
caused by continued rains, has greatly
fatigued and worried the stock. The im- I
perfect ploughing, given much of time,
has a tendency to dwarf tho eotton plant
and make the crop grassy.
2nd. The labor is much less in numbers
and effectiveness than last year. Expe
rience teaches us, that every year takes
from the number and efficiency of the
hands. The women have almost entirely
left the fields. Many hands who saved
money from last year's crop, are this year
spending it in the erjoyment of ease. Os
the others who saved money, some have
gone “to farming to themselves.” Now,
these negroes, while valuable as members
of society, ip their sphero, do not produce
as much cotton as when they workod with
the large planter. They produce more
corn, more peas, more potatoes, and less
cotton than formerly. It is true that they
make as rnuoh money, and as good a sup
port, as those who plant more cotton ; but
they make less cotton. We may safely as
sume that for every hand who “goes to
himself,” that his production of cotton is
lessened one-half. Take the number of
those who have “gone to themselves,” and
those who are “playing gentlemen,” and
we find quite a deduction from the force of
1868.
Again, the natural decrease made by
deaths must be considered. The young
men and youths, who suddenly became
masters of themselves, died away in large
numbers from imprudence and want, soon
after the surrender. For instance, those
at the camp just across the river; and
again, we all know how fatal the smallpox
was to the negro, in the year 1866, Dis
ease and want have taken away the gen
eration which should fill the p aces of the
old and thoso who die. The increase does
not keep pace with the decrease.
;id. The seed are very bad this year.
Some singular fatality seems to have at
tended the efforts of all who tried to save
seed. Few planters have enough seed,
some have only half enough. The delay
and trouble in getting seed has put back
planting in some instances, at least two
weeks. The same cause, the rottenness
of seed, will cause bad “stands,” replant
ing and late crops. The worms will get a
fa r showing.
Now, Messrs. Editors, does this look
like a splendid crop—or the largest crop
since the war? We are not alarmists? We
believe that we will have moderate crops.
But we do not desire to have the first of
our crop (especially when that crop is small)
sed lor two or three cents a pound below
what it would really bring, if it were not
, for the misrepresentations of reckless
scribblers, A moderate crop of cotton and
a g-'od yield of cereals will pay us better
than a large crop of cotton, half of which
must go to foreign markets to buy neces
s&i ies of life. The prospects for a good
croo are fair. Why should some newspa
pers give such extravagant accounts of the
expected yield of 1569? Planter.
Wheat.— Messrs. J- W. & W. H. Bear
den, of this city, have placed upon our
table, this week, sample bunches of their
growing wheat crop. The straws meas
ure thirty-three inches. This wheat was
planted on the loth of December last, and
has not been in the least damaged by the
oold weather. It is certainly very fine,
and promises a rieh harvest. We doubt
it it can be beatea in the county.
This crop—and it is large in this section
—is generally very good. If reasonable
the yield will be abundant in Middle
Georgia, and will cause a material reduc
tion in the price of breadstuff*.
From all parts of the country we have
accounts of the promising appearance of
the wheat crop, and in ail the great grain
producing sections unusually large breadths
of land were sown. —Madison Journal. !
Wheat in this county is unusually fine
for the season. We hear of one planter
wbo has a field of sixty acres headed out.
—Monroe Advertiser, 2utA,
The cold weather has not materially in
jured the fruit crop in this section. The
prospect is good for a bountiful crop.—

More Sorghum Sugar.
We saw a few days since, at the store of
Jones & Harper, about a third of a barrel
of sorghum sugar. They had bought it
for syrup, bat finding it would not run, ex
amined and found it completely granulat
ed. There i no doubt but that fine sugar,
in abundance can be made in this section
from the sorghum plant. All that is nec
essary is that the peculiar kind of seed and
the exact process should be ascertained
with certainty. Probably some machinery
may be needed for clarifying and drying
the sugar- We wish all, in this section,
who have had syrup turn to sugar, would
inform us what kind of seed they planted,
at what state of maturity was the cane cut,
what machinery was used, and if there
was anything peculiar in the process of
manufacture, state what it was.
By comparing nottß—and we know of j
no better way to acccomplish this than
through the journals of the country-the
exact conditions upon which sorghum
sugar can be made will soon be ascertained,
and one of the most important and useful j
discoveries of the age will be made availa
ble to ail.
This crop can be made exceedingly prof- j
table, and it is less uncertain than almost
any other. One hundred gallons of syrnp
is only a fair yield tor good land. Every
gallon of syrup will make six pounds of!
sugar, and there still remains about two i
quarts of syrup. Thus from an acre of
ground you get 600 pounds of sugar, worth
say ninety dollars, and fifty gallons of
syrup, worth say thirty dollars. What

Our Great staple,
; Cotton In the Future—lts Production and
Consumption.
The following letter, which we copy
from the Memphis Avalanche , contains
views in regard to the position and pros
pects of the South as affected by the cotton
crop, which will be found full of hope and
encouragement for- our people, and emi
nently worthy the attention of every
thoughtful reader :
Memphis, March 29, 18G9.
The chief wants of man are food and
clothing, and that country is most favored
which can produce these in the greatest
abundance, and at the least cost. Judging
by this rule, the Southern or Cotton States
ol the Union possess advantages equalled
in no other part of the world. Besides
being able to produce food enough for a
dense pjpulation, they produoe that staple
which clothes more people than any other
fabric. So universal has beeome its use
that it is the leading article of the world’s
j commerce, and it builds and freights more
ships, sinks more mines, and erects more
factories than any other product of the
earth. Nothing is so intimately inter
woven witii the prosperity and progress of
our whole Union as cotton. The increase
! in its production has been wonderful,
growing from about 100,000 bales in 1800,
to 5,387,000 in 1860.
But there was a demand for this rapidly
growing production ; for, in 1857, two
thirds of the vast commerce of Great
Britain were based upon the growth of
American cotton; and, in 1860, the South
ern States furnished her with eighty per
cent, of all the cotton she manufactured-
An idea may be formed of the value she
places on our ootton, when it is known
that, during the war, the prices in Liver
pool ran up'to $1 83 per pound.
But if we look at the demand lor it in
the United States alone, we shall conclude
that “Cotton is still King.” In 1800, the
factories of this country consumed 22,000
bales of 400 pounds each ; in 1860, 1,094,-
000 bales.
The capital invested in manufactures in
creased thirty por cent, from 1850 to 1860,
and is now estimated at $130,000,000.
During that period, the consumption of
the raw material increased fifty-five per
cent,. These facts all psove the constantly
j growing demand for Southern eotton, and
| hence its production has been highly
| stimulated during the past thirty years.
Its consumption seems to have no limits,
for improved machinery and expanding
commerce all tend to introduce it into still
more general use. But its production has
a limit, and that is measured by the num
ber of hands engaged in its culture. Be
fore ihe war nineteen-twentieths of these
“hands” were the negro slaves of the
South, and the crop of 1860 was the larg
est ever raised. Until the war the growth
of our slave population was nearly as rapid
as that of the whites ; the latter being
about thrao and one-third per cent, and
that of the former about three per cent,
per annum ; and under the old system of
trained labor the increased production
could be safely estimated. In a few years
more the South would have grown ten
million bales, while the North would have
monopolized the cotton commerce of the
world.
All this has been changed. It was -re
claimed that the labor of the free negro
would bring the price of cotton down to
three cents per pound. It has gone up to
twenty-live and thirty osnts, and four
millions of contented laborers have been
converted iuto a community of idlers, vag
rants, politicians and paupers. Sumner,
Greel.y and Phillips, in attempting to play
the role of Washington, Jefferson, Web
ster and Clay, have mistaken fanatacism
for statesmanship.
The day will never come again whon five
million bales of cotton will be raised by the
negroes of the Southern States, though
the demand is not likely to abato. The
vast sums invested in manufacturers will
domaud that the looms and spinners shall
still run. Where shall thecotton be found?
In India and Egypt the production is fall
ing off, though greatly stimulated during
the war. In the former the population is
so dense that a famine is threatened when
ever too much labor is diverted from the
production of food. Tho manufacturing
world, old and new, thus anxiously looks to
the Southern States of this Union as the
chief surce for the supply of ootton. New
England statesmanship has reduced this
supply one-half and trebled the price. Let
us look at some facts, and see to what con
clusions they will lead.
In 1860 (see abstract census, p. 131)
there were 3,950,000 slaves in the South
ern States; 1,150,000 being in Maryland,
Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky and
Missouri. This left 2,800,000 in the cot
ton States. One half of these, or 1,400,-
000, were between the ages of 15 and 60 ;
and no planter will say that he ever had
more than half his negroes in the cotton
field. From this 1,400,000 must be de
ducted, house servants, mechanics, and
negroes in cities, towns, &c., not engaged
in producing cotton. It is not probable,
therefore, that we ever had 1,300,000
slaves- thus employed. If they averaged
four bales to the hand—men and women,
old and young—the production would be
about as mu h as the large crop of 1860.
This was under a system of labor thorough
ly trained and under the most industrious
and energetic management. Then there
were lew idlers and no paupers. How is
it now ? Not more than half the 1,300,-
000 former slaves can now be found in the
field. Thousands have sought the haunts
of cities and towns; and the females seldom
work.
It is at least pretty certain that not
more than SOO.OOO negroes can be counted,
to-day, as field hands and the general es
timate docs not exceed two and a half bales
to the hand. Put it at three, ihe crop
would then be 2,400,000 bales. Add
200,000 lor the production of white labor,
and we have a crop of 2,600,000. Can it
exceed 6,000,000 bales? I confess it does
not seem that the present labor system of
the South can reach that figure, save in an
extraordinary season. It may be done);
perhaps 4,000,000 bales may be reached if
we neglect food; but would not that be
i paying rather dearly for the extra million
I bales ? Year by year, food is steadily ad
vancing in price. There are thousands
here who remember when they could buy
; corn at twenty to thirty cents and wheat at
fifty cents per bushel, and pork at four or
; five cents per pound or twelve dollars per
barrel. What are the prices now ? Double
\ and treble what they were years ago.
1 There is a powerful agency producing this.
From IS4O to 1850, the increase of our
country population was about thirty per
cent., tha' of the cities upward of eighty
per cent. In 1800, our city population was
one in eleven of the whole population. In
! 1860 it was in nearly every five- In oth
er words, our food producers are rapidly
becoming less numerous as compared with
I the whole population, and hence the opin
| ion that food will ‘not fall much in prices.
| Great Britain slaughtered one million less
hogs last winter than the winter before ;
; and the Northwestern States 300,000 less.
In IS6B the corn crop was sixty millions
of bushels less than the crop of 1860, eight
years ago. Remember, too, that every
year we are receiving about 250,000 souls
from Europe, who seldom produce food the
year they arrive,but are constant consumers.
Does this look like a fall in the price of
.food? With facts like tbese, can our peo
ple think it best to raise four million bales
of cotton and buy their food from the
Northwest ? A small crop of cotton will
bring more money than a large one. The
five million bales of 1860, at ten cents a
pound, brought $250,000,000. The crop
of 1868, estimated at 2,300,000 bales, at
an average of 25 cents, will bring $287,-
500,000. It is evident that a half crop
will bring more money than a very large
one. The truth is, if the South will raise
food in abundance for all her wants, she
i cannot exceed three million bale*. The 1
labor is not here. The present cotton pro- !
duoers arc generally trained Lands. When
these pass away, their successors will be
low numerous and still less reliable. Skill
and improved machinery may cultivate '
more land, but human lingers alone cad
gather the crop. Ilence the conclusion
that with an abundance of food the South
cannot possibly raise ootton enough to put
the price under twenty cents for seme
years.
If, in addition to all this, she will also
enter largely into manufacturing all the
shirting, sheeting, &c., she needs, she will
save an immense profit now paid out to
New England on these fabrics. In 1860, |
the Southern States span one third of all ;
the cotton yarns used in the whole Union,
but only one-twentieth of all the
cloth. Why may we not produce the cloth
as largely as the yarn ? There can be no
doubt as to the profits.
I do not regard it as possible, even where
i it is desirable, to increase our negro popu
lation. That raee has never so rapidly
I multiplied anywhere, and never been
: fund so civilized and Christianized as
I under the influence of constant contact
with the whites of the Southern States.
The guardianship of the latter Laving been
withdrawn, the formei will rapidly lapse
into semi-barbarism and gradually disap
i pear. No two distant nations, even of the
same race, ever lived peaeable together,
as equals, under the same government.
| -such an instance is found newhere in all
: history. If this be so of nations of the
same race, how must it be with nations of
I different races ? It has been aptly said
j that the Saxon race wou’d always exter
i minatc those whom they could not subju
gate; and the fate of the American Indian
illustrates it. The negro raee is doomed,
i Its ultimate fate is but a question of time.
| Is it desirable to increase such a popula
; tion ? W ould we gain anything but mere
numbers, whose moral and intellectual
degradation would be but food for corrupt
politicians l Is it not vastly better for us
to populate our waste lands with a class
ot whites who will have some pride of race
and some regard for their political rights
and dudes ? If the South is to be peopled
with millions who are to be our equals, in
the name es Heaven let it be with men of
our own color and race ?
Though grossly outraged, the South is
not yet ruined ; for it is a difficult job to
ruin a country so blessed in climate and
soil, and having such a population as ours
: has been in all the changes of the past
eighty years. The sons of the men who
honored Washington, Jefferson, Henry
Madison, Jackson, Clay and Calhoun, as
their models for patriots and statesmen,
cannot long be under the rule of such ad
venturers and charlatans as now curse both
North and South. A brighter day is
dawning. During the past thirty years
the South has never been so little in debt
as she is to-day; and with political kind
ness, she will soon be on her feet again.
During the past five month, I have
traversed a dozen counties in Mississippi
on horseback, and a oonstant and free in
tercourse with tho farmers assures me that
there has not been so much money in the
Statefor many years. Kich planters used to
belong to commission merchants of New
Orleans. This has mostly ended. Econo
my is the order of the day; and every one
is addressing himself to its" necessities.
With the money of the past erop they
are buying mules and farming implements,
and are planting about as much land in
corn as in cotton, thus insuring an abund
ance of food. The proceeds of the cotton
crop of the year 0869) will be almost en
tirely a surplus, ana in ten years the South
will be much the wealthiest portion of the
Union. But time, in its steady evolutions,
will soon come to her relief in another way.
Look at the subjoined tables. They are
worth studying, for they clearly indicate
where even now is tho seat of political
power. With the ability to raise an
abundance of food and keep cotton above
twenty cents per pound, we may look upon
the future with high hope.
Below I contrast the population and
wealth of the whole Union with the popu
lation and wealth of the States of the Mis
sissippi Talley. The States are Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
lowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Ken
tucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana:
r, , • 1860.
Population of the United
States 31.500,000
Population of the Valley
States 14,500,000
Wealth of the United
States $16,000,000,000
Wealth of the Valley
States 7,500,000
Here it it seen that ten years ago the
fifteen States named above had nearly half
the population and wealth of the whole
Union ; •although throe-fourth- of them
were a wilderness loss than fifteen years
ago. Can any one doubt that the tendency
of political power i< .Westward? But let
us look,at it in anotiu r and still more sug
gestive light.
The ten most prosperoui and progres
: sive States ot this valley arc Ohio, Illinois,
j Indiana, lowa, Missouri, Tennessee, Ken
tucky, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louis
| iana. Contrast them witii the lour most
prosperous and progressive States of the
j Atlantic seaboard. From 1850 to 1860 the
j inorease of the former, in population, was
sixty nine percent., tlat of the latter but
thirty-two. In the former the increase in
wealth was 300 per cent., the latter but
110. It ten (10) of the Atlantic States
had been selected, instead of four, the
difference would have been still greater,
and, in order to present the .question in
tho best light for them, but tour States
were selected, they the most flourishing.
If this bo true of the period between
1850 and 1860, what must bo tho increase
of the Valley States since then? The growth
since 1860 has been more marvellous than
ever before. Another census will be taken
next year, and wo shall then find the spell
of New England broken, and her power for
mischief gone. In addition to all this,
Maryland, Virginia, the two Carolina.-,
Florida and Texas, which are not Valley
States, will unite their destinies with these,
for, as they are all essentially agricultural,
their interests are mutual. They will
doubtless hold two thirds of the votes in
Congress and control the destinies of the
Union. The elections in the Northwest
last Fall, as compared with those of two
years before, Drove that the antagonism of
the people toward the South is on the
wane here ; and in a few more years we
may exclaim, “Now is the winter of oar
discontent made summer.” You will say
that this is a hopeful picture. Well, lam
a hopeful man. Better that than to be
ever foreboding evil. The past has its les
sons of bitterness andoppresson ; but it is
difficult to believe that this country can
long be ruled by any party whose pathway
to power is strewn with the wrecked
rights and liberties of individuals and
States. T. J. Trezevant.

[From the London Timed, March 12.1
* * * There are those, of course,
who have always regarded a North Ameri
can Confederation with suspicion and
distrust. Stated without reserve, their
objection is that a territory which must,
acc rding to their view, be absorbed sooner
or later by the United States, is hereby
retained a little longer in allegiance to
Queen Victoria at a sacrifice ofits own true
interests and those of Great Britain. With
an object of this I ind wo cannot pretend
to feel the least sympathy, resting, as it
does, on misconceptions of fact as well as
on fallacies of reasoning. If one thing be
clearer than another, it is that confederation
renders the United Provinces not more, but
les3, dependent on the mother country. It
is no secret that from the Imperial point
of view, the project was iavorably enter
tained in connection with the policy which
throws upon colonies the main respon
sibility for their own defence. Hencefor
ward, if British North America becomes
stronger for the purpose of repelling ag
gression, it will be in spite of large reduc
tions in tho British garrison, and solely in
consequence of her own increased efforts for
self-protection. It is worse than idle to rep
resent this country as havingestablished the
Dominiou of Canada to serve as a bulwark
against the United States. Though encour
aged by the Imperial Government, the
Confederation movement emanated from
the provinces themselves, and the act of
confederation makes the provinces more
free than ever to dispose of themselves as
they please. If the mass of the people
should hereafter desire to enter the Ameri
can Inion, of which there is no proof or
symptom, England will assuredly not lift a
finger to prevent it, and unless the mass of
the population should desire it, the United
States can have m*wish to receive them.
Whether they gravitate in that direction
by a natural law, and are destined some
day to obey the centripedal force, we are
not concerned to inquire. At present they
prefer confader.tion under the British
monarchy, and they ought to know their
owd interests. Nova Scotia, tspecially, has
profited by the short-sigh, id fiscal policy
of the United States, and has not suffered
what she apprehended from the protection
ist tendencies of Canada. It is possible that
her coal trade may at some future time
attract her toward the American Union as
much as her ship-building trade now
repels her from it, but she is inhabited by
much too business-like a population to
annex herself “for an idea.”
