OF THE
COTTON PLANT
A Southern journal, published eekly. to ad-
vocate direct trade, manufactures, agriculture and
the development Of Southern resources by G. G.
BAYLOR, Washington, D. C..
The importance of such journal as the above
needs no exposition. The material and substan-
| tial interests Of the South have been too long
elected. The "CorroN PLANT" is established to
promote these interests, keeping entirely aloof
from party or party politics. A complete foreign
and domestic correspondence has been arranged.
The best talent of the country will contribute to
our columns, which will present medium of
general communication, correspondence, and in
formation for the friends of the measures adj
vocate The proper steps have been taken in
Europe and America TO lay the foundation of
direct foreign trade at the South and to introduce
our coarse manufactures into the continental Eu-
ropean market One object of the "CorToN
PLANT" will be, as the organ Of direct trade, to
stimulate the South to carry out this important
measure.
We call upon the Southern merchants generally
to send their business cards, that we may lay
them before the country, to enable the friends of
Southern commerce, manufactures, &C., to dis
crmnate properly in their desire to promote South
ern enterprise.
The importance of Washington city, as point
of location for such journal, especially in regard
to opening foreign correspondence and promoting
our foreign relations, is apparent The opportu-
nifty of seeing here, also, members Of Congress
from every district of the country, present
means of general CO operation not to be found else
where.
To the cotton, sugar. rice and tobacco planters,
we look confidently for support; and to the friends
of "direct trade" throughout the South we say,
''show your faith by your works"
The regular issue of the "CorroN PLANT" will
commence in June next Advertisements are
particularly requested to be forwarded early.
Business letters addressed to c. G. Baylor, Wash

Correspondence from all interested in the cause
we advocate is solicited particularly to the crop

Dismissal OF Clerks.

We understand that some forty or fifty tempo
rary clerks in the Department of the Interior
will, in the course of next week, be discharged,
the business being completed which they were
appointed to perform. Gazette.
This step may be called for by the interests Of
the government, and, if SO, is therefore right and
proper But there is a something else worthy Of
mention in this connection. The pressure upon
the Department of the Interior, for number of
weeks before the commencement Of the present
session of Congress, called for extraordinary ex-
ertions on the part of some of its bureaus !;
and instead of calling in the aid of temporary
clerks, (Which might have been impracticable, J
those in regular service were requested to work
three or four hours in every night beyond the
usual hours of labor. They complied with the
request, under the conviction that the govern
ment would deal justly with them, and literally
compensate them for these labors. We are as
sured that Secretary Stuart possesses the will
but not the means of doing this; and we cannot
learn that any steps have been taken to provide
such means. We allude to the subject for the
purpose of bringing it before the members of
Congress, convinced that there are many gentle
men in that body who need only to be apprized
Of the facts we have stated to induce them to
see all parties righted in the premises.

We ever refer to the schools of our city with
pride. That conducted by Mr. z. RICHARDS has
just celebrated the completion of its first half
year, by a careful, laborious, and highly salts
factory examination. 1t is located on the corner
of 14th street and New York Avenue |; and its
teachers are Mr.. z. Richards Principal; ii.
Chase and H. W. Mcneil, Assistants A. G. Rich
ards, Teacher Of the Primary Department; A.
Zappone, Professor of Modern Languages and
H. Gibson, Teacher of Drawing and Painting.
The thoroughness Of this examination gave
evidence of the ability and faithfulness Of both
teachers and pupils; and high credit was re-
fected upon the prevailing discipline by every
perceivable indication. Among the company of
spectators was Major L. Wayne, distinguished
teacher. The professor of languages appeared
justly proud of the progress of his classes in
French, who were examined in the first eight
books of Talemaque, and in the grammar. We
believe this academy numbers more than hun.
bred pupils, and brighter or more comedy com
pany of youths has seldom been congregatec
together.

The Smithsonian Institution.

Professor Siiman delivered his fifth lecture,
Tin course of twelve,) on Saturday night, be-
fore full audience, who gave frequent proofs of
their interest and qualification. In that portion
of his subject relating to steam, he spoke Of the
COLLINS line Of ocean steamers as the most magnif-
cent feet that floats. He begged to say that he
had made in them two passages across the fierce
Atlantic; that he had examined them thoroughly,
and watched closely their action in terrific seas
and fearful storms, only to be more confidently
impressed with the unequalled stability safety,
and superiority of this proud American line. He
said it would be unfortunate, indeed, if such a
glorious enterprise the Collins line, which had
done more than anything else to wrest the trident
from the mistress of the seas, were allowed to go
down for the want of little additional aid from
Congress. He ventured to express the hope that
g material aid !" would be cheerfully granted by
the government
