Messrs PHILLIPS, SAMPSON l. Co.
Gents. In an article heded "What are We
going TO make" in the last No. OF your
Magazine the writer thinks that the Mlllen-
ium for niggers is to be brought about by
steam, on the ground that bushil Of coal
fed TO steam engin will produce more pow
er than bushil of Injin corn fed to mig
ger, and that the great improvement that is
to take place in these engins in 80 or 100
years will enable US to navigate our corn
fields and pillow as much cotton, with one
crtter of this sort, in the same length OF
time, and and at less expence, than with 10
niggers consequently, we will free the mig
gers as nuisance, and take the engin insted.
Now jest grant what he says about plowin
by steam should turn out true--and cotton
could be growed in this way-I gest want
to ask him one question, When it comes to
pieken out, whar is his steam engin then
1t takes fingers to du this sort Of work,
and no steam engin will ever be made to
strike lick like them.
If we ever du pillow by steam, which
wont deny mought be done, we'll turn our
niggers into Pickers-m make more cotton and
sell it at less price. He is whot might be
called speculative genius, like Teller who
lives not far from here; he thought he'd
make an improvement in p,ek'n, and the
monkey would be the very article. One
monkey would pick as much niger, and
one niger could oversee ten monkeys. The
monkeys was got and the trial made the
only mistake about it was, instead of one
niger managing 10 monkeys, it took 10
niggers to manage one monkey; 50 be had
to give up experimenting and sticks to the
old way Of gathering his crop. Some one
says that every man is crazy on some sub
ject Your man is crazy on steam, but its
not exactly the right sort to eteuate the ideas.
Tell him to fire up and try again. You
will excuse me for saying that think some

proposition

We find from this table that, with the
exception of the Duchy of Mecklenburgb,
always q small exporter, the imports from
the United States alone show decrease.
We find also that the total imports Of wheat
into Great Britain increased &c per cent,
whereas the exports from the United States
decreased one hundred and five per cent. 1t
is evident from considerable of this table,
that prices must come down to enable US to
regain our share Of the grain trade of Great
Britain. In 1857 we supplied thirty-one
per cent Of the total import of wheat into
Great Britain for the first five months.
This year we have supplied less than nine
per cent. And the returns for seven mouths
including July, will show even a greater
decrease. The only remedy is decline in
prices.
