TO COTTON PLANTERS,

NHE undersigned is he proprietor with IL in the counties of Coosa and Tala- poosa of Provost's new and improved COTTON PRESS. This is regarded by experienced Planters who have witnessed its operation, as highly valuable improve ment. It costs but little more than the com mon Screw, but is every way greatly su perlor. It IS so constructed as 10 be conve, nienf,by extending. over il the roof of the Gin House. IL is worked with great ease and convenience, and will pack at least one. third faster than the Screw. The usual sig Press will pack without difficulty bale of any size desired, not exceeding six hundred pounds. But slight force is required in packing, one mule being sufficient.
 The undersigned is now ready to execute orders. having put up several. The tim. bers that may have been got for Screws will answer very well, but will have 10 be re- duced in size. The cost of building. in cludng the patent, is $50; the pullies irons. cord, &c., cost from $l5 to $20.
 The Presses built by the undersigned are warranted to endure and work wei, having been fully and fairly tested.

 The great lever of the Uni verse say they! What can it not do? John Bull dares not war with us He cannot He shakes his fist. It strikes cotton bale and falls bruised and harmless, Fancies of this kind are of course harmless, except that they create an absurd expectation and foster vague hopes.

Making the gross consumption of

the world 2,250,O0O bales and 35O,O0O bales short of tue probable supplp. In this state. ment I have put down for Great Britain the amount of her pres enl consumption. This may be somewhat enhanced under the auspices of a favorable crop.- But I do not think any reliance can be placed upon a material change, while the price of the raw material so far overtops the customary expectations of the spinners. With such a margin as 350,O00 bales, or with a less one, manufactures will not be easily coerced into much high CT prices than those now given There are many who suppose their present curtailment the mere offspring of deficient har- vest. Let no one yield too much to this delusion. It has been but a short time since they thought it their policy to adopt this remedy against a similar ad vance sustained by the Pennsyl- va.nia U. $. Bank. The sudden cxpllo losion of that wild institution is a living commentary upon their power and their shrewd, ness.
 It is not improbable that under the influence of the present state of things, other countries besides ours will again seek the markets of Europe. Brazil, Egypt, and the East Indies are producers of cotton as well as ourseices.- Their exportation has dwin.' lied to song from their inabilityto compete with Us at the low pri-, ces ol recent years. When we raise the price, we elevate them into competition with us--a com petition which of course cannot last, but which may teach us the folly of giving too free play to our haaginations.
 In view of ali these circum- stances, it appears to the writer, our best policy is to cease grum- bling and make the most we can of the state of things afforded us. Two years ago, we would gladly have compromised for the present short crop and high price. Nay, a shorter one and lower price How many were lne;rcc lnerc m "A who

From the Haune rilke Chroniele.

Dear Sir: Tbe subject of our cotton crop Is one of so univer- sal and profound an interest, within the region ofyour circula- tion, that any allusi)n to it is calculated [, affect many of your readers with a ueuralgic twitch. But there is no good reason why we should in misle ading others, deceive ourselves. Speculations therefore in regard to the state and prospect of the crop, may without impropriety, be commit- ted even to a public journal.- Nearly all the accounts we have seen of the prospect of our sta pie are of lugubrious cast And, truly, if we compare 1t with the overwhelming yields of our more fortunate eras, we may be said to be on the eve of a great misfortune. But we have too long been taught, or rather taught ourselves to regard g or 240O,000 of bales, as the stand ard of a fair season, and that anything s'lort of that amount is to be considered as a failure. It is time we should reduce our fig ures and be made to believe, that something like an approximation to the amount, consumed, Is the amount that should be produced. The calamities sustained by the cotton growers in "A, when the crop amounted to 2,350,000 bales, should admonish us, that after all great crop is little less than a great disaster. To that portion of our planters, which cultivates at a distance from navigation, a low price is deci- dedly worse than a short yield. So tar as we can judge the ap- preaching crop will be sufficient ly large. It Is still subject to too many influences to be right ly estimated, but from the pros pect in th.s neighborhooi, from reports from other sections, and from the belief generally preva- lent that much greater amount of land has been cultivated this year than usual, it appears to me unreasonable to set the num- Der of bales down at less than 100000. Add 10 that, the pro- bable amount of stocks on hand in this country and Europe, and we shall see the figures swell to abount 2,600, ,0O0. To meet this supply, we will put down the Continent of Europe at
