New YORK MIsRoR.- This excellent pa
per requests US to pu5Iish.a long prosPec-
tus for the privilege of an exchange. We
can't do SO much for so little but we will
take the occasion to say that the Mirror
contains more pIquant, pert, original, spicy
editorial, ON general subjects, than any
paper we know. The editor, DR.. Fuller.
has a most causnc wit, aud a telictous,
;orcibe style. Daily SON adv.-weekIy,
So do.

o. A remark Of the Pontotoc Tribune
relative to the habits of the Chief Magis-
trate of the State, and the resorts where
he most likes to spend his time, seems 10
have aroused the ire of the State paper in
no small degree. The Mississippan says
that disastrous consequences to the party
will result from any such aitusiQns. We
do not'know that tits, abstfactly, any con-
cern of the public whether the Governor
spends most of his time atSpengler's groce-
ry, the Executive Office, or elsewhere, so
that he attends faithfully to his public du-
ties--nor do we know that the Pontooc
editor speaks truly when he insinuates
that the present Governor does spend most
of his time at the former resort. Butthere
is prevailing opinion that certain digni-
Fly and high moral bearing attaches to this
exalted station, TO which it is expected
thelncumbent should conform; and de-
parture from which, we agree with the
Tribute, is calculated TO injure the party
which elevated him, and is in anne assure
responsible for his department. If former
Governors have carried social inclnations
to extreme lengths, the. fault can be avoid :
ed in making the next selection. We do
not accuse Gov. Brown of having done
so; hut we merely wish TO say that we
think the Mississippian rather too sensi-
tive on the point. The private department
OF those in high stations, is universally
made theme Of comment by the pubic
and the. press. 1t is the pricethey pay for
the Difference shown them.

RT The discussion on thesWar bills in

turn. The question whether slavery is TO

ed has been intemperately and unneces-
sarily introduced, and has produced deep
excitement. ss might. have been expected.

THE. PLANTERS way PARTICULAR FRIENDS,
THE Commission. MERCHANTS We have
copied on our third page another of the
Sentinelscorre spondent; As, sensible ar
ticies, which we commend to the attention
of our readers. The writer is planter Of
Madison county. Every observaut man
will realize the truth of what helsays. We
are we'll convinced that in no business,
trade, or commerce, in the world, is there
so much ingenious deception and sly swim
ding, we may call it rough stealing, as in
the article of cotton. The difusve 'clas-
sifcation,'' seven distinctions to three diff
ferences-the selling 'lists''-the ''com-
mission system, whereby sharpers and
spectators, and their venal Instruments,
control or influence the market rates for
their own purposes with all these con-
trivances, the stealing in this business
has been reduced to perfect " SYSTEM"
difficult to unravel and understand, there
fore the more effectual; and it is proven
bial that the planters, as class, derive
less actual profit from the crop, than any
one of the Numerous classes--commisson
merchants, brokers, ship-owners, specula
tors, buyers, merchants, or even the re-.
presser, weigher, or patcher--engaged in
the commerce OF the article. Now that The
price is advancing, and planters growing
somewhat careless, these fellows will be-
come more barefaced and exorbitant in
their demands, and new plans will be in
vented to fleece the producers. A united
determinations to change radically the pre-
entmethod of selling cotton, is the only
remedy iorthe planters. We have no ami
mostly against commission merchants as a
class Most Of them pursue, with passable
honesty, what they consider a legitimate
BUSINESS; and wouId- probably consult,
next 10 their own, the planters interest
It's 10 the whole system that we.ohject, as
calculated tc benefit ''alf bands aud the
cook'eby fleeing the producer. Elephant
ers hold back aud force bona fde purchas-
ers ortheir,age nts, 10 resortsto the different
!. marts on our large rivers, where, tall
competition being established, each man,
without the. intervention of. agents who
have SO many inducements to fleece him
may sell his own cotton on its own merits
We again commend the subject to the
consideration of those Interested. Gu
columns are open to its discussion.
