that increased demand would eventually
draw increased capital into cotton-growing,
is doubtless sound one; but there is no rea-
son why there should not be an increased de-
mand for sugar and rico.l as well as cotton.
In fact, these articles usually keep pace with
cotton. -
Then the Athenaum proceeds, CORRECTLY
enough, to show that there is little chance Of
cotton land becoming scarce; that in the nine
cotton States, there are thirty-nine million
acres of land susceptible of cotton cnltiva-
ton. and only six millions now cultivated.
This is all very right: but the next PROPOSE
ton which approaches the real cause ofthe
increased price of cotton and the failure of
the production to keep up with the demand.
is that the rise in the price OF negroes cannot
add appreciably to the cost of production, for
says the writer:
.Our Quaker friends must excuse us If we
seem fippant in asking what portion of the
increased yalne of slave cultivation can
form an ingredient in the price of pound of
cotton, supposing the slave to be worth 80
pounds more than he used to be, and that con-
sidered merely as a producing machine, he
will last thirty years. lis Of course not the
interest of the price of a slave, but if any
thing the cost ofhis daily maintenance, which
could possibly be appreciable in such fine
calculation.o 5
Thirty pounds or one hundred and fifty
dollars. is about One-fourh the real increase
in the price of slaves during the last eight or
ten years. With all dne Difference between
seven and fifteen hundred dollars in the price
of negroes would possibly be appreciated"
in the cost Of the production of cotton. AT
least common-sense people would incline TO
this opinion, and be apt to discover in this
fact, of the constantly advancing rates Of ne
groes, the true secret of the increased price of
cotton.
The supply Of this labor has fallen short of
the demand for cotton. and the prices of that
staple will continue to rate higher and high
er. until there is an increase of the labor ne
cessary to produce it. In other words, to
make cotton cheaper, we must get negroes
cheaper; and to get negroes cheaper, there
must be more of them in the country.-N o..

Wonderful EacaDe.

Last evening, about O'Clock as the train
on the jackson Railroad was dashing along
at full speed towards the city, at a point
seven miles from the city, the fireman was
suddenly startled by the apparitiOn of man
standing directly on the track. facing the en-
CINE, and with his arms raised. 1t was but a
moment, and the engine was on him, and he
disappeared.
The alarm was instantly given. and the
train stopped in very short distance, and
all hands got down with lanterns and hnr-
ried back to look for the mangled body
Presently an old hat and one boot. soaked
through with rain, were found on the track
hut no mangled BODY. The search continued
diligently for some time. but still no mangled
body. Where could the unfortunate man be?
or was there any I'M Ortunate man at all?
The fireman, piqued. we presume, at the
insinuation, then determined to look around
the engine itself. The party gathered round
the iron horse. and 10 and behold, 70 every
ones wonder. there, on the cow-catcher, sat
the unfortunate victim, holding on 10 his
dangerous seat like grim death, and looking
the very picture of mingled dismay and he
wilderment. His face was streaming with
blood, his head bare, and only one boot adorn-
ed his neither eXtremities.
dozen arms were stretched forward to
his relief, and the doctor was called for. A
doctor was fortunately on the train, and in
few moments he had taken possession Of the
man. 1t became evident soon that the adj
ventnrer was what is Familiarity termed dead
drunk" but what astOnished every one was
that he was not materially injured. His face
was cut here and there, his teeth were loosen
ed, and his mouth good deal hruised but
otherwise he was not hurt.-N o. Picaytu7e

Difference RcfVveen the House of Con
gress and the House of Commons.

IF the rules of the British Parliament, in
regard to speech-making. could be introduced
into the American Congress- the country
wonld be relieved from the food of aimIess
and useless talk with which it is every year
inundated. There is only one spcpc'' on re-
cord, delivered in either House of Parliament
at any time. which ever approached the long
itudinal character of heavy Congress oratory,
and that was delivered in the Commons. in
1928. by Henry Brougham. on the subject of
the administration of the law, in which he
exposed its abuses, and suggested all the
principal reforms which have since been made
That speech occupied over six hours in deiv-
cry. O'Connell. Peel, Lord John Russell,
Palmerston, Roebuck, Golden, Bright and
few others, have made long speeches; but
these long ones are the exceptions. As ge-
neral rule, half an hours speech is consider
ed a very liberal allowance. and that only to
a first-rate man. Whoever of inferior stand
ing. should attempt to waste the public time
by diffnsiveness would be coughpd down or

There NAV be some persons in Kentucky
who are crednlous enough to believe that Jas.
Il. Clay really desires TO retire to the
shades of private life. as he indicates in his
letter, but we must confess that we are an
utter sceptic on the subject. Perhaps Mr..
Clay would rather run for Governor than for
reelection to Congress, and several of his or
gans have intimated that il would be highly
appropriate to nominate him for that Office
Failing to secure the highest prize he might
Weld to the earnest solicitation of his Demo-
cratic friends and consent to be returned to
Congress. The doubt in our mind is as to
whether or not the letter was not written for
the purpose of drawing out these solicitations
1t would produce a very fine impression if the
people could he made to believe that Mr.. Clay
was not induced by personal considerations to
accept the nomination rendered him by the
Cynthiana Convention. hut that he was ac-
tuated by purely patriotic and unselfish feel
ings; and that after having redeemed the dis
trict from the conservative element. and hav-
ing thrown il into the embrace Of the Demo-
cracy his fathers life long enemies, he is
perfectly content to retire to the enjoyment
of the bliss and happiness only found by ones
own hcarthstone. Such Cincinnatus like con-
duct might, perhaps recommend him for future
promotion, for it il written that the humble
shall b. exalted. The Statesman has already
predicted that the Democracy would before
long elevate him to some high national posi-
ton, and il may be So: for there is no telling
what this sinful world of ours is coming to-
We think Mr.. Clay will be the Democratic
candidate for Congress in 1859. We may be
wrong but ''hcin, helm, we have our sus-
picions. "-FrdntfoH Commonwealth.

Cotton Theories.

The ignorance Of British writer's in regard
to this country, its institutions. its geography.
its productions, commerce., and all its other
peculiaritics. is amazing. This ignorance
seems to he more dense among the most pre-
/ tentious literary characters. and among those
who have all the means and facilities for OBJ
tanning correct intelligence. 1t extends. too,
to topics in which the people of England
have quite as large, if not larger interest,
| than our own population. There is the sub
! ject OF cotton, which provides the means Of
| subsistence TO a larger number of persons in
| GrcatBritain than in the Unit, Estates the value
Of which is quadrupled after passing through
/ the English manufactures. and the trade in
which constitutes the great basis of modern
commerce and exchanges; and yet the blum
ders and errors which mark all the inquiries
and discussions on cotton by British writers.
but for the gravity and seriousness of their
effects in misleading the popular mind of that
country, would be laughably absurd aud
| amusing.
The various expensive attempts To produce
| cotton in India and elsewhere in the British
dominions, without slave labor, aud the err
roneous theories and principles upoa which
those failures have been explained, have been
some of the natural fruits OF this extreme ig-
| norance. the source of which may be found
| in that remarkable self-complacency and ex-
allied assurance that characterize British
writers and politicians.
Tn, sc views have been impressed on our
minds by the perusal Of an article in the Lon
don Athenanm. on Ellison's recent puhlica-
ton entitled. "A Handbook of the Cotton
Trade, Ia which the writer assumes perfect
familiarity with this complex and extensive
sn6ject. aud discourses most learnediy upon
the follirs and absurdities OF 1.-THE orators and

Gen. Jackson. Protective Principles.

The Union and AH'ericdn, of yesterday morn
ing, suggests that the PATRIOT in attributing
certain votes by Gen. JACKSON, on the passage
of the Tariff Bill, of 1924 made a mistake as
TO his vote to fix duty of thirty-seven dol
lars per ton on iron. Our cont temporary says
it has examined the journal of the Senate,
and cannot find that Gen. JACKSON anywhere
gave such vote, and that in the bill, as
passed, the duty was fixed at eighteen dollars.
We shall take pleasure in correcting the mis-
take, il made, after a thorough examination
into the matter.
In the mean time, we may say that the fact
of Gen. JAcKsoN's having been clearly and
decidedly in favor of protective tariff is
,ettied and the force of the fact cannot be
impaired in the slightest degree by any mis-
take in referring 10 his particular votes or
particular items of the tariff of 1924 What
we have asked and what we desire to know is:
Do the Democracy Of Tennessee recognise as
RrpuJl.ean, and will they carry out, the tariff
principles # Gen. Jackson as avowed in his
letters to DIR. COLEMAN and DR.. RAY; as indi-
Gated by his votes on the tariff of 1924; and
as announced by Mr.. GRUMPY, in the Senate,
in 1882? That is the question.
