es, situated on the navigabe stream ;
that lave our shores and wind along
every vale in the interior, the planter
materially subserves the interest of the
purchaser as we'll as his own, and that of
the State. That money usually expend-
ed abroad for necesSaries, which are
nearly always bought when the cotton
is sold, will be expended at home, our
own merchants will get tilt will be kept
among us, and instead of a continual
outpouring of the wealth Of the State,
treasure from abroad will be continually
pouring into our laps.
We have no doubt that in three
years, seven-eighths of the cotton
produced from Mississippi soil will
be sold within the limits of the State.-
With so large portion of the cotton pro-
duced in the world in her possession she
certainly can control the CAPT al usually
invested in the article, so much as to
cause purchasers to come within her bor-
ders to effect their purchases. Trappers

PEELED to let their furs 90 out of their per-
sonal supervision. The South Ameri.
can as he bounds across his native heath,
throwing the lasseau from his trained
steed, never thinks Of the foreign mart
into which the fruit of his toll is to be
borne. He never goes beyond the limits
OF his homestead to find purchasers for
his hides and horns: the purchasers are
drawn there by force which they can
not resist; there is demand for the ar
tlcle which is obliged to be supplied, and
OF course the fountain from which the
stream emaaates must be sought. The

we wish our planters would reflect
upon It. Recollect the greater convent

with proper management on the part of
her citizens, Mississippi will in the course
OF htteen years be the most productive,
and one of the most solvent States in the
