To COTTON PLAETERs.-A number of the
principal commission merchants and others
in Macon, give in alate Messenger, the fol-
lowing sound and judicious advice to the
planter, which, no donbt, would prove of
equal advantage, if observed by al cotton and
produce sellers.
LIST Never sell your Cotton, until you have
obtained the opinion of some one you can re-
ly on as to its worth.
Cd. Never listen to an offer, which makes
more than one price for the whole lot.
Sd. Never sell for any money, but such as
you are we'll assured is equal 70 that it calls
for in silver dollars.
Observing these three rules, you cannot
fail to get the full worth OF your cottons on
the day you sell it.--.M o. Bulletin
That is certainly very sound advice and
should be received and acted uPon.-Bui
how is it to be made available to the ''cottOn
planters'' who make the 100000 bales Of
cotton which grow in the vicinity Of Natchez
and Vicksburg. By the present mode ofha-
wing their cotton sold in New Orleans, they
have as little to say as TO the hoW and ;Okeu
il shall be sold as have the people Of KAN
scatka. And how is it they are to get theil
money son the day they sell it''! BY tbs
present "sysiem" they never get it under I
month and often never get it at all. is

been ''slip Ofthe pen" ythe Bulletin; fol
surely he would not publish such knoci
down argument in favor Of gaississippi diirec

A PROPOSITION.

The following proposition is mentioned by
the Boston Daily Advertiser as hot unlikely TO
be iavorably received:
alt is TO re-enact the tariff bill with a modl-
fication of the 9th section in such form as to
postpone the land distribution for period-of
perhaps two years, with provision that it shall
then revive, unless again postponed or repealed.
This it is possible may be acceded to, not for the
purpose of meeting the Presidents argument,
but from the necessity Of the case, to avoid the
total failure of revenue bill. We say, not for
the purpose of meeting the Presidents argu-
meni, that the country is made bankrupt by la
king out of the Treasury $640,000 for distribu-
ton among the States; fer this argument is
sufficiently answered by the fact that the bill
which he has vetoed would put more than that
additional revenue into the treasury every
month";"

DRfTIsn STARvATIoN.--The intelligence re-
ceved Yesterday from st. John, N. B., is of a
very distressing nature. A great proportion OF
the recently arrived immigrants are wandering
about the streets, penniess and houseless, with
out the possibility of procuring work. In con-
sequence of the prevailing distress, special
meeting of magistrates was held to take into
consideration the condition of the numerous
poor and to devise measures for their imlnedl-
ate relief. as well as to provide against the APP
preaching fall and winter, should circumstances
render assistance necessary.
1t is stated in the st. Johns Herald that as
nothing can be done for the immigrants, the on
~ course which the Lieut. Governor can pur-
sue is to communicate with the Government at
home, and urge the necessity OF some measures
being adopted there to prevent the lnhabltant $
of the province being overwhelmed by such a
torrent Of poverty and hepessness as had been
landed during the two previous months. The
writer concludes as follows:
1--WE saw that we want no more emigration
societies, nor any more money expended IN
their behalf until emigration itself is placed on
such footing as will abolish the miseries and
expenses of the present system. Until the
British government prevents the expectation Of
their paupers TO our shores, and masters and
owners of passenger vessels are made respon-
sib)e for each passenger they take or bring, en-
iuration will prove curse instead OF blessing
we hope that Sir William Colebrooke will think
seriously upon this subject: for unless some
thing be Immediately done in the proper quar-.
YER. our taxes in this country for the support o
the poor. will far exceed the capablity TO pay o
three -lourhs of the people,"
