CoTToN IN 1NDIA.-A recent Parliamentary docu-
ment gives the result of the latest explorations and
experiments 10 India in the cultivation of cotton,
rom which it appears that the soil is undoubtedly
suited for producing the finest cotton that there is
an abundant population and no production is better
suited for the wives and families to be engaged in
and the chances that cotton may be produced
more cheaply in India than in the United States
Whilst labor costs dollar day in America, in In.
da, the laborers, of whom there is an ample supply
for creating largely increased cultivation of cot
ton, get only ID or Sd. per day. The present cost
of cultivation is said to be only about two dollars
an acre, and for crops more highly cultivated it
would not exceed four dollars for labor and seed 1t
is also stated that cotton quite equal to the average
of American, might be delivered at seaport, from
any part of India, at cost of Id per pound. But
in order to reduce prices in Liverpool two millions
of bales in excess of the present supply, are want
ed from India; and to produce this quantity, by the
present method of cultivation, would require an
extra fortytwo millions of acres of land, allowing
crop Of cotton from it once in three years. and an
extra 100000 or 5,O00 900 of laborers. On the
other hand, it is the opinion of practical English
men, who have been engaged in the cultivation,
that cotton in India, though it may be much i'm
proved, can never be brought to equal American
Gotten. A most important fac. elected in the late
Parliamentary investigations is that cotton can only
be cultirated once IN three gears, adrantageously
on the same land.
great objection to the cultivation of cotton in
India is the want Of means of transit. When rail-
way penetrate the Interior the cost of transport to
the scaboard will be so much reduced as to enable
supplies to be contributed by districts which are
ow,beyond reach of the market

FLAG PRESENTATION.

MR. EDITOR: l beg short space in your paper,
for the purpose of noticing in public manner, the
presentation Of flag to the Democracy Of Beaufort
by two young ladies of the town.
Miss Eliza Jane, and Miss Henrietta Robertson
presented the Democracy with Breckenridge and
Lane flag, as a testimony of their approval of the
good cause and their faith in the patriotism, sound
ness, and conservatism Of our ational nominees
These young ladies are daughters Of that sterling
Democrat, Malachi B. Robertson, who died in 1855,
much to the regret of sorrowing community
Every Democrat feels deeply grateful to the fair do
nors for their handsome gift. Coming from such
hands, 1T Is regarded as incentive to work the
more earnestly and zeaonsy for the cause of truth
justice, and the Constitution" Timid men may
rally around the flag of Bell, and dsorganizers may
pin their faith to Douglas, yet we look upon our
banner bearing the names of fearless and patri-
otto statesmen, whose principles are the only ark of
safety for the country, in this period of peril At
tached to hickory pole, the noble emblem of our
party it floats out upon the breeze as the standard
sheet of cause which alone offers to the Republic
Constitution and Union, unbroken and intact.
Its soldiers are men of nerve of devotion to prnci-
pie; men who are determined to make no comprom-
ises to propitiate sectional hate but who stand by
their rights ready to "snk or swim, live or die in
maintaining them in their integrity The names in
scribed upon its folds, guarantees that we are
the true friends of the Constitution, and ask only
what plain and fair Interpretation of that instru-
ment will give us in common with our brethren of
the North to wit: the right to carry our property
Of every species into any territory of the United
States, and to be protected in its enjoyment during
the continuance of the territorial condition. Our
government rests upon this great principle, and un-
less it is maintained nviolate, the government is
failure
1t is gratifying to the patriot band, now strug-
Cling in our little village for the supremacy of con-
stitutional principles to know that two such beaut
full ladies as the Misses Robertson, have bid US fer
vent God speed in our cause. Amid the jcers and
false accusations of our enemies, we value the ap-
proving smiles of the fair that have so honored
US with their appropriate present. as a full recon-
pense for all that we have borne for the sake of
truth. Whether victory or defeat settles upon the
"standardsheet'' now dedicated to Breckenridge
and Lane, as the representatives of just and correct
principles, VIC shall always recur with increasing
satisfaction and pleasure, to the present which warm
hearts have bestowed.

stand Firm {!

If it be true that Lincoln is elected President,
stocks Of all kinds and property generally will fall
in price, A panic runs like fire in dry stubble Let
every business man stand firm, and do all he can to
ward off the effects Of the panic Let as little pro-
perty be sacrificed as possible Inatead of pressing
our debtors, selling property of any kind to pro-
vide the means Of living or extravaganza let us
economize and live on less than heretofore Let us
especially beware of panic in slave property
Slarery in the States Is in no danger. Those per-
sons in the States south of US who are anxious to
open the slave trade and import barbarans into this
country, would not, object to panic which would
reduce the selling price of slaves in Maryland Eir
gina, and North Carolina to three or four hundred
dollars each. The proposition to limit slavery to
the States in which it now exists, if even adopted
by Congress and approved by the President, would
amount to little. Slavery can no more be limited
by act of Congress than the Mississippi can be ar
rested in its course. It wi spread to and take root
in all new regions where the climate and soil de-
mand it. 1t would therefore, be unwse to rush
slave property into market at sacrifice on account
of Lncoln's election. Let stand firm, strengthen
our defences in the Union and keep strict eye
slaves Let us sec to it that they governed bet
ter than heretofore at home, so that when away from
their homes they may give less trouble to the police.
There is no danger to be apprehended from the
slaves, if bad white men watched and kept away
from them. Left to themselves they are contentcd
and happy, and much more loyal and respectable
than the aboltionists are themselves. negro slave
who knows his place, and who is faithful to his mas
ter, is gentleman when compared with such white
persons as Seward and Sumner.
