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. Col. Wm. D. Mann, proprietor of the * Mobile Daily Register, married his Ward, Miss Belle Jones, of' Alabama, last Friday, at the Metropolitan Hotel, New York. I 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 tisan. 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.— Ibid. 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 cron is rno-e profitable Rome Courier Glaubir Salts as a Fertilirer.— At a late meeting of the Farmers’ Club of the American Institute, a letter was read from Mr. G. E. White, stating that a re markable growth of cabbage plants, ruta bagas and the like, had been obtained by mingling about half a teaspoolful of ground Glauber Salts—sulphate of soda—around the root. It was stated that the fertilizing property of this substance on grass land was good. The cost of this article by wholesale should not be over $lO per ton. 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. Fart well, Canada. [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.” New York drinks 200,000,006 glasses of lager a yea", W.
