OBSERVATION ADDRESSED TO PLANTERS IN

From the Southern Agracuttartst.
OBSERVATION ADDRESSED TO PLANTERS IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Mr.. Edi.or.-ft seems to be conceded
tha, the production Of cotton has fairly
overlaken The consumption of it, and
there is every prospect that we will con.
tipue TO increase production faster than con-
sumption will advance, even al present
prices.
There is partial ifnot complete rem
edy for this evil, which take liberty of
suggesting through your pages. Let ev-
cry cotton planter make it rule and ad-
here strictly TO it, TO make no more cot
ton than he can make clear Of his planta-
tion expenses. That is,. let him pay all
his plantation expenses by other crops,
and make only so much cotton as will
support his family, pay his debts, and add
to his property. Manv planters dnre
say will answer, that they would be glad
to make enough cotton to pay their debts
and support their families. This may be
rrue as to some, bu, in general it would be
more pert than true. Even those who are
hardest run, purchase corn, salt. negro
cloths &C., with cotton money. doubt
ifthere is any planter who could not pro-
duce enough for market, besides cotton, 10
pay for all these things. and all. plantation
expenses. Some are so situated, that
they could sell corn alone sufficient for the
purpose. Let them increase their corn
crop then to that amount and dimish COT
ton. Others again If the corn could mol
be sold, might feed it TO stock and sell that.
II will bear transportation, and there is
great. deal of foreign beef and bacon sold
in the cotton region. Whea, and Hour ipI
in the middle and upper country, could
be made to pay these contingencies, Rice
will grow at,the foot Of the mountains and
command good price, and so will tobac-
CO. Many could pay these expenses by
cutting timber and making shingles, slaves
&c. 10 short, there are few planters in
the whole cotton region, who might mol by
a little diversion Of labor, manage TO
make what cotton they do, clear Of the
expense Of production, land. do SO profita.
bly,. Let each planter lootS around him and
see what his resources are. Edo,notiuyi,e
him 10 make his own shoes, hats; blankets,
clothes, sal. and iron. In most cases; Others
who are in these lines, can make, these
things and bring them to his door cheaper
than he can make them himself. But,he
can follow the business he understands, or
at least is'best prepared to carry on, and
make something else besides cotton, to pay
for them! :.
know to folly Of recommending any
measure 10 planters, requiringtheir COM
bined action. Iirecommend this 10 each

Suggested by tile fight of tfe bald eagle over

on the 10th August, l844.
Bird ofthe sky! whose brilliant eye
4 aDrinksin the sun beams as they fy.
Take your proud way where wild winds play
Swift as the coursers ofthe day;
Joye's lishtnings flash around the ash,
And sllivar il with laundering crash.
Your voice shall clear iheveieran's ear,
Reposing in his homestead dear,
And thousands round shall catch the sound,
And welcome you to holy ground,
The hickory tree Of Tennessee
A fitting rest for you shall be.
Then Ether King, with matchless wing,
Speed or, and freedoms anthem sing,
Till land and main shall swell the strain
And Heavens blue arches ring again.
Imperial bird. whose voico has stirred
Earth's host as an archangel's word.
No certain gray shall shade the day
That lieh hts you on your glorious way.
Your piercing cry was heard on high
When wars wild music fiId the sky,
And fields were won by Washington
Beneath the revolution sun.
Az. wing your flight in wild delight
Ger sunny vale and mounrain's height;
Tell the broad West in beauty dressed
There is spot where you may rest;
And scream on high your battle cry,
Nor fear 10 do, nor fear 10 die;
The hickory tree of Tennessee
A fitting resi- for you shall be.
sThe eagle was seen by hundreds taking his
flight to the ,0est,oard, at short distance above
she hickory pole.
