EplroR EDcEFIgLD ADVERTISER -Sr:-The above
words were the caption Of nm article which appeared
in one of the Georgia Journals n week or two since
and which we also take our text this morning The
"Dcalcrs" will need good backholdcrs to pay the
losses upon the cotton they have bought of the Pro-
duccrs" this year. We venture to assert that scarce
ly bale of cotton has bcc4 bought since September
by the former that has not lost from two to four dol
lars per bale before it could reach the seaboard.
Therefore the text suits us" Cotton Dealers stand
up" to which We add, Amen!
"Cotton Planters, stand up~ for you can-ns but
few of you have sold your cotton yct-and may get
good price before il goes lower. Whether you sell

chants, your bencfactors They have suffered more
from the present monetary crisis than any of the
community. They bought large stocks of goods to
supply the wants and necessities Of their customers,
which goods declined OIL their hands since the COM
mencement of last Fall and they were compelled to
sell them at corresponding decline with the North
markets, and consequently did sell them to you Mt
a loss in very many cases. They have bought your
produce and lost upon it. They have not been able
to meet their notes when due, with the necessary pune

mas, and not paying their debts before Christmas as
usual.
Recollcct that the Merchants buy their goods on
the short time Of four months when they buy on cred

in Bank, and which, if not paid at maturity are pro-
tested for non-payment and the Merchants credit
ruined In order to maintain their credit they have
been compelled during the past Fall to renew their
notes for longer period of 80 or GO days. paying in

instances they have had to those notes again

What goods they were compelled to buy for cash, they
have had to make rcmttnnees ON Immediately, with

THE SOUTH CAROLINA COLLEGE.

We gratifcd to see by our exchanges that Judge
A. 3. LoSGsrREET has arrived in Columbia, and has
assumed the duties of President Of Tho College. lie
comes in the evening of life, with enlarged expo
ricnce IN instructor Of youth and fully crowned
with literary aurcls to assist in forming the character
and cultiratng the minds of the youth Of the State
He is u native of the South his name is as familiar
as ''housc-hold wOrd;" hc is known to every one,
and in his breast will be found echo to the gene
rous, hightoncd and honorable sentiments that ami
mate the hearts of the youth of our land.
The lattcring reception that the students extended
to him. is evidence of their just appreciation of his
many virtues. The fathers and guardians of the
South, and particularly of this State, can now have
no excuse for sending their and wards to North
ern Colleges, where they will bo educated at infn-
ately lower standard of virtue and honor; where
villied and where thcyare apt to become intoxicated
with the worst features of Northern Society," and this
too Mt much greater expense and trouble. Wearcnot
advocates for unnecessary prejudice against Northern
ers md their institutions; we can stand their wooden
nutmegs, quack medicines, brass-clocks, and mock
auctions, but God save us from having Northern
Teachers and Professors to preside over the tender
sensbiles of our children "As the twg is bent, so
will the tree incline"
PREPARATORY MILITARY ACADEMY.
We learn there is desire on the part of some of
prominent citizens to establish Mt this place one OF
those popular institutions. 1t is intended under the
advantages afforded by Military discipline to prepare
young men either for the South Carolina College or
the State Military Academy. Ours is large and
wealthy District and of right should hure prominent
institution of learning. We regard this happy
movement and hope it will be eOnsummnted.
