The LARGE C0rr0N PLANrERs--A few days since
a paragraph was published, giving some account o
the cotton crop of Col. Bond Of Georgia, which
amounted last year to 2lOO bales and was the largest
sent to market by any planter Of that State. vi
dal'a correspondent of the Free Trader fNatchez)
contrasts the planters Of Mississippi and Louisiana
with the Georgia celebrity as follows
There are half dozen planters in Concorda
parish ana Louisiana as also many more i'm Missisp-
pi, that make far higher mark than this. Not TO
make a thing inydous, the names of A. V.Lewis ESQ.,
of Concordia parish who makes all his cotton there
cbalks up several hundred bales above the Georgia
planter so does l.. R. Marshal Esq in the State of
louisiana raising in that State alone more than three
thousand five hundred bales; so is John Ruth, ESQ
OF Hard Times full as much II not more so did Fred
ericl Stanton, Esq. but few weeks deceased raised
twenty-eght hundred bales the present year.-al in
Concordin parish-and even more than this figure in
1S55-all in Louisiana and there numerous others
that come up, or nearly so, to the Georgia highest
knot For instance. l., r. Marshall residence Natchez
planter in three States, Louisiana, Mississippi, and
Arkansas is more than four thousand bale produ
Ger so is Mr.. Stephen Duncan more than three
thousand bale grower in the State of Mississippi,
besides being an opuent planter ofLoulsiana-m
than four thousand bales in all
The great estates of the two princoy planters OF
this region the late Samuel Davis and Francis Surget
Es4s., always produced from three to five thousand
bales each until their deaths divided the estates
among the heirs.

A Fact for the People.

The Atlanta, Georgia american says:
I'VE take it for granted that the people know
that the expenses of the Government for the past
year were over $50 100000 and it is estimated they
will be 800, 100000 the present year. They also
know that Mr.. Stephens says that O,OO0OO is
ample for all the purposes Of the Government
Allowing that Mr.. Stephens has under estimated
the amount, and that $1,000, 900 are ample then
there is waste of some 500, 900 on fine wash
stands, sofas, lounges splendid chairs and magnf-
cent mirrors at enormous prices to partisan fVor-
ties.
But the estimate is as above stated. Now, how
much is that to each voter in the last Presidential
election2 Our readers will hardly credit what the
figures will prove so large is the amount The av-
eruge to every voter in the Presidential election in
1856, is nearly TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS. Just
think of that, and ask whittier we are tending.
The vote cast then was 4,04S, O24, which, divided
into the 500 900, 0OO gives an average of twenty
four dollars and seveDty-two cents TO the voter
But Mr.. Stephens says 500, 100000 more than there
should be, which is more than double. Suppose il
be double what il should be- and what is the result?
The amount spent by the so-ealled Democratic par
", and above what is needed is equal TO over
an average of TWENTY DOLLARS TO each man
who voted in 1886 for President Can the people
stand that? VIII they stand it2 viii they per-
nit this corrupt and extmyagant administration,
misnamed Democratic, to longer hoOdwink and de-
ceiye them2 VIII they consent TO such eYtravagant
appropriations the Treasury bankrupt and
those in authority piling ap public debt OF mill
ions of dollars in order to sustain il? We don't he
lieve they win but that they will make united
and mighty effort TO drive them from the posts they
disgmce-the salaries of which, are drawn from the
toiling millions they attempt 10 govern"

nominate early choose the best men, run
them upon their record advocate living,
practical, national issues, and leave to de-
mocrats and Republicans the contest about
abstraction and sectional questions. The
slavery question is settled. Democratic
policy has closed the territories against it,
and tho blacklist Of the Republicans do
not seek to disturb it in the States. Then
let Us set the example of letting it alone

ism of the Republicans and conservatives

AAGbOhs
Under the Instructions OF Secretary Cobb, Mr.. !
Guthrie, the agent of the Treasury Department, has
investigated the expenditures of the N. " custom
house. and recommended the dismissal Of 200 in
cumbents ms sfpefhuous. The proposed changes
are intended to be made on the LIST of july, and
Messrs. Fowler, Mather Maclay, Cochrane, and
host of others here protesting against the policy
as ruinous to the party.
The late investigations into the system
of plumber instituted by the democratic
party to enrich its leaders, impoverish the
government and corrupt the masses have
created no little alarm at headquarters lest
so much thieving may lead to the over
throw of the party; and in order to
win back lost confidence, an effort is max
ing, in small way, to retrench the waste
full expenditures of the government. And
hence we find that two hundred men are to
be discarded from the Custom House at
New York, as unnecessary to the proper
discharge of the business of that establish
ment, If unnecessary now, they have
been so all the time; but as mercenary
partizans they had to be paid for their vile
services to their party, and to pay them,
offices were created, in the Custom House,
for their benefit and their salaries drawn
from the federal treasury, And what do
the locofoco leaders of the city of New
York say to this movement of Secretary
Cobb "Sir, you must not remove these
supernumerary dependents upon govern
ment charity-they have done vast
amount of dirty work for locofocoism and
to remove them will ruin the party.
Are the people willing longer to uphold
party so corrupt-and so bold in its cor
ruption as thus openly to insist upon rob
bling the Treasury to pay hireling poll
ticians for their services to party? The
true and honest patriot finds his reward for
his labors in the consciousness that he is
discharging high and sacred duty to his
country; but the DULLES and ballot-box
suffers of the Five Points, who work for
demagogues as worthless as themselves
must be paid with the peoples money, and
that for doing things which ought to con.
sign them to the Penitentiary. And this
is the party that is eternally preaching
economy and Boosting of its purity and
nationality, whilst it is stealing money tc
buy votes, and snarling and swapping al
each other whenever the plumber is to be
divided.

Bay" Some of the locofoco papers are
labring to prove that the Opposition of the
South is trying to coalesce with the OPP
position of the North. If the charge has
reference to the Black Republicans it is
false if it means the conservatives of the
North, the charge is true. The OPPOSE
ton of the South will enter into compact
with no sectional party but there is ma
tional feeling enough North and South, if
united, to overthrow both locolocoism and
Republicanism. That is the union which
every patriot desires to see accomplished,
and the safety prosr Gritty, and honor of the
Confederacy depend upon its consumma-
ton. Where is the southern right we
have surrendered in order to secure a
fusion with the Black Republicans? Have
we endorsed squatter sovereignty, and de-
MED to the southerner his right to the
protection of Congress, should he carry his
property into the Territories? We have
yielded neither, yet they are all the Black
Republic ms ask Buthow is with the south
ern locofocos? On, they scorn the imputa-
ton of an alliance with the freesoilers, yet
concede to them all they ask, and sur
render all that can give the South the re-
hottest chance for equality in the Terri
tories, The candidates of that party stand
up before II southern audience and boldly
deny that Congress has the power to pro-
tect a southern man in the Territories
when squattcr soyreigns, and Il squatter
Legislature are assailing his rights. And
this they do-for what? To win frecsoil
votes yet they seek no alliance with free
sellers Oh, no; it is no alliance, but an
infamous barter of southern rights for
anti-slayery votes. Clear your own record,
gentlemen, before you pitch into ours.

Hse7 The Jc6ersonian charges us with
circulating, secretly, our article on the
Pass Law in the shape of an extra, in
the counties of Stewart and Robertson
The charge is untrue. The article was
published in the Chronicle, as an editorial,
and went out openly to all our subscribers
and exchanges. Afterwards, parties in
Stewart and Robertson sent in orders for
extra numbers, which orders were filled BY
the publishers and the numbers thus
furnished were, of course, circulated
The Jc6ersoaidn says DR. Menees got hold
of one "by accident, few days since. -
This is strange declaration. The article
was published in the Chronicle on the 9th
of May, and when DIR, Menees assures us
that he knew nothing of it until "a few
days since we will believe it, but not
until then.
