Iron Hoops for BnIing Cotton.

We insert, with pleasure, in to.day's pa
per, a communication on this subject, TO
which we invite the attention Of those inter-
ested. The subject is one of great import
ance and cannot pass by unheeded. We
insert the article from the New Orleans Bull
letin at the request of our correspondent, and
also to expose it's palpable errors. We also
wish to express our unqualified dissent, as a
Mississppian, to this system of NeO Orleans
dictation. The article in the Bulletin appears
as editorial, but it evidently bears the official
stamp; and must be regarded as "By .Au-
thoritV." 1t is the first note of dictatiOn from
the NeW Orleans hierarchy on this subject.
When the planters of Mississippi desire the
advice of the New Orleans Bulletin, as to the
management of their farms, they will ask it.
It is not true that we are a colony of New
Orleans, or that Mississippi only exists by
her permission.
There is much said and written through
out this State, upon the subject of the SUBJ
stitutiOn Of Iron Hoops for rope in baling
Cotton, and it is universally approved of ev-
cry where. Much of it will be used in this
vicinity next year, and we have no doubt
but they will be generally or universally used
in few years.
The New Orleans editor saws, that this er-
pertinent sis, and must result in total fail
ure." This is very round assertion. How
much experience has the editor of the Bulle-
tin had in baling cotton with iron hoops!
But perhaps the editor only meant to express
his opinion to that effect.
The secret of the matter is stated by our
correspondent. IL interteres tOah NetO Or
leans Interests. We do not object to the
Bulletin protecting those interests as far as
practicable and proper; but, we do object to
the issuance of an edict or order Of this kind
1.-THE planters of Mississippi can pre- pare their
Cotton at once, for the sea vessels. and there
by save the expense of REFRESHING "a dollar
BAILEY they will dare to do it, we have no
doubt, without asking permission from New
Orleans. If the Commission Merchants and
other capitalists of New Orleans cannot find
employment for their steam presses, or make
their usual annual profits upon Kentucky
Rope, it is their own look out. The obiec-
tons to the use of hoops, as stated by the
Bulletin, are, in our opinion, utterly unreas-
enable. But they are sufficiently exposed
by our correspondent.
We very well know that the Commission
Merchants. and Brokers of New Orleans have
it nO'O in their power to fine every Missis-
siPpian who uses iron hoops, dollar bale
for so doing, as itseems they have done, and
which will become "cuSIon," we presume.
1t is not, however, thing that never did
happen, that such use of power as this,
has resulted in an entire loss of it altogether!
"R. A." as may be seen from his commu-
nication, has paid much attention to this
subject.

LAW SUIT INTERESTING TO FARMERS

The Buffalo Republican of the 10Th inst, states
that farmer from one of the south towns of Erie
County, came to that city with load of butter,
which he offered to sell to a grocer The grocer
learning that the farmer asked shilling per
pound for his butter, by way of bantering him and
TO reduce his price, said he had 500 pounds he
would sell fer seven cents per pound; whereupon
the farmer told him he would take il at that price.
The grocer asked him what he would put il in
Never mind says the farmer, weigh il and lay it on
the Aoor-Plcarry it away. But, says the grocer
you must take it at the weight at which 4
purchased IT, No, says the countryman,I will give
you seven cents pound for your 500 pounds, and
here is tender of your money, (ai the same time
exhibiting the coin) Bot, Gays ,rhe grocer, I'll
not sell it in that way Then You refuse, says
the farmer, to fulfill the contract? Certainly, says
the grocer, refuse TO weigh the butter. The far
mer left the store went home and cited the grocer
10 appear before justice of the peace in the
ty and Ieco vered ajudgment against him for the
difference between the price he agreed TO pay and
the actual market value OF butter, being about$24.
The grocer appealed 10 the county court, where
The judgment ofthe justice of the peace was sus~
tanned, leaving the grocer TO pay the farmer his
judgment, and the attorney beside.

Take eff your Potatoe blossoms. a little labor
aecH paid fort has been long known that crops
of any kind, which perfect and ripcn their seeds
before they are removed, take up and appropriate
a vast deal more nutrimont (Which they derive
from the soiD than those crops which removed
before the seeds are perfected. This conclusion
looks reasonable first sight for the seeds, which
the most nutritious Fart of the plant, can't be
formed without much food being forwarded from
the earth for that purpose, Hence the exhaustion
of the soil by the ripenng of the crop. When

method of his is being adopted in ALL parts of Rus

COMMUNICATION.

To the editors oftEe Southport Telegraph.
GENT:-As the attention ofthe public is
at present considerably directed to the law
Of this Territory, entitled IAN act to esta-
blish the rate Of toll forgrindng," thought
it not inappropriate to send you some re-
marks on the subject for insertion in your
paper, should you deem them worthy of
publication.
| shall proceed directly TO an examina-
ton of the law,
lst. AS to its justice and expediency, and
I'd. AS TO its constitutionalty.
All unnecessary restraint on the rights
aid actions of man is oppressive. This
law is unnecessary, and therefore is oppres-
sive. There is the same competition 10
grinding, that there is in every other bust
ness, and mills will always be erected in
this country, as well supplied as we are
with water power, IN proportion to the de-
mand and wants Of community. When an
individual invests his capital in grist mill
he does so forthe very purpose ofgrndnrg,
he is obliged to grind because his interest
compels him to do so, and it is as morally
certain that he will grind, as it is, that the
owner of a sawmill will SAVIOR that mer-
chant will sell his goods. Milling like all
other business will regulate itself, There
is no necessity for such law.
But the statute is unjust and oppressive
because it invades private rights, and in
terrneddles with private property and bust
ness. The saying of the "good man," sis
1t not lawful for me TO do what | will with
mine own7" though uttered in the form OF
question, implicitly received the author
lty of maxim from the great Lawgiver,
and 1t is as true now as it was eighteen
hundred years ago. Every man has a
right to use his property as he pIeases, so
that he does not injure others. And all
sumptuary or other laws, regulating private
business, which unnecessarily abridge the
natural liberty of the citizen are OPP ressive
and unjust If the legislatures have the
right 10 compel millers to grind in turn al
fixed price all grain brought for that pur-
pose, they have equally the right to resu-
late The business of every man in commu-
nifty, and how and upon what terms he shall
DO 1t. They can say to every farmer and
mechanic, you shall do all work in turn as
