A Gentle Hint.

On the first of January, VIC design commencing
new system of operations. Our books will be examin-
ed, and those who have paid us nothing since lSoo

accompany all orders for the paper. twill be found in

Hon. Charles G. Atherton was on Thursday
morning selected for United States Senator by
the lower branch Of the New Hampshire Legis-
latnre, by a majority Of FIVE over all opponents.
The Senate says the N. Y. Herald, undoubtedly
concurred in the nomination of Mr.. a. during
the afternoon. As an evidence of the extraordi-
dinary refux of John P. Hale's popularity, it is
only necessary to notice that he received four
votes out Of two hundred and sixty.fve. 80

Cotton.

Cotton is by much the most important element
in the commerce of the world. 1t is the chief
and most valuable article both in the domestic
and export trade of the United States, and is the
great staple production of the South I? and not
this continent only but the whole world, has
deep concern in everything efecting the produc-
tion and price of cotton. Hence the anxiety and
interest with which on both sides of the Atlantic,
is discussed the question of the probable amount
of the present crop of cotton. A recent num-
Der of British journal, the Economist presents
some facts and submits some speculatlons con-
cerning the probable prices and production for
the growing crop of cotton which cannot fail, to
attract the attention of the PLANTER the merchant,
and the manufacturerin this country, all of whom
(as is indeed the entire community are vitally
interested in the subject.
In Great Britain, the chief concern is as to the
supply of cotton; with us the question is as to
the price of cotton In effect these questions are
one and the same, as the supply determines the
price. The economist is of opinion that the pre-
sent crop of cotton will command even higher
price than the last, and it supports its conclusion
by adequate arguments. The cotton crop of the
United States for the year ending August 81,
1852, reached 3,Ol l5,029 bales-bcing 659,772
bales increase upon the crop of the last year,
9ls,323 bales increase upon the crop of the year
preceding the last and 62so5l bales more than
the average crop Of the last six years. But the
increase Of consumption more than kept pace
with the increase of production, and hence the
price was enhanced and the stocks reduced In
September of 1852 the price of cotton wastwen-
ty per cent higher than in September of 1851.
But the stocks were much smaller, as appears
from the following table:

motion being put
Mr.. Tillinghast addressed the House in favor
of the motion.
Mr.. Campbell said that if it would be deemed
a convenience for purposes of consideration TO
defer action upon the bill to Thursday, ne would
be happy to vote in that way; if it was required
as matter of courtesy, he was sure the House
would consent, if not be considered the better
way would be to proceed with the business IN
regular order
Mr.; Keitt said, his object was to enable the
House to dispose of other business of Importance.
He did not require consent as matter OF cour-
tesy.
The motion was then put and carried. .-
Mr.. MCGOWAN, from the Committee on the Mill
tary, reported in favor of a bill exemptlng the
