your hands, and force them to submit in some
measure to your own terms. Thus you perceive
that instead Of your aggregate income being di-
minished, twill fully equal former years What
you lose in quantity will be restored in the in.
creased value ofthat cotton crop, and superadd-
ed to this, the surplus provisions thrown into
market over and above the wants of your ami-

You will have also under the system of culture
recommended, more time TO improve your plan
tations and fertlize your lands for subsequent
crops.
To render, however, this system of culture
effective it is important that cooperative action
should be adoptcd-it will act and react to the
benefit of both Statean planter-providing per-
sonal comfort for yourselves and families, if we
shall be blessed with peace, and furnish the
means OF security and defence to our State in
case of'war.
We appeal to you, therefore, planters of Mis-
sissippi, to use all means in your power to sus-
tain the late action of the Convention of this
State. Your dearest rights and those of your
children are involved in it, Show your approx
al of the action of the Convention and your de-
termination to sustain it by adopting the sugges-
tons IN this address, and if we have failed to
convince you OF their correctness by those ar
guments addressed to your pecuniary interest,
suffer us at least to hope have fully impressed
upon your minds their importance by those di-
rected to your patriotism.
We then close this address under the full be-
lief that whatever may beall our State-'ceal
or acoe, Wdr or peace, you will not hesitate in the
discharge of your duty, and that through your
instrumentaly under the blessings of Proyi-
denco, you will so regulate your planting inter
est during the present year. that the harvest
season shall find our State abundantly supplied
with all the material articles of food necessary
for the wants of life.
And we also trust that the beneficial expert
cnce of this year may inaugurate a system of
culture in our State, which shall hereafter fully
dcvelopc its capacities for raising and supplying
our citizens with all the cerial, horticultural and
pomological productions, congenial to its soil
and climate, which stand in such intimate rela
ton to human happiness and national security.

A sOui that will Love NE.

A soul that will love me is all that ! ask,
A heart that beats true to my own;
care not in fortunes bright sunshine to basli,
I'd live in loves starlight alone.
Though often its pleasures mingled with sadness,
In moments of hcart-ache and PAIN
Yet give o, but give the bliss of that madness
Contented I'll carry the chain.
This life without love is a wilderness drear,
Its beauties attract not the eve;
The sweetest melodies fan on the ear,
And wake but in answer a sigh.
Yes shut from me nature with all its rich treasures,
Yon far spreading curtain of blue;
Take the world with its honors, its wealth and its
pleasures,
And give me heart that is TRUE.

When still is the beautiful night
When the round laughing moon | see, love,
Peep through the clouds, silver white.
When no winds through the low wood sweep, love
And | gaze some bright rising star,
When che world is in dream and sleep, love-

Till the red rosy morn grows bright, love-
Far away DER the distant sea,
Till the stars their gentle light love,

And, o, if that pleasure is thine, love,
We will wander together afar;

ABOUT BEDBUGs. According to an article in
the last number of IIarper's Magazine bedbugs
are an American invention, and have been ex-
ported from this country to all parts of Europe,
excepting Ireland, where a bcdbug is never to be
found. The insect made its appearance in Eng
land as early as 15O3 when two noblemen were
''punctured" by them and the physicians, call
ed in great haste. The bug is parasite Of the
bat family; and is so tenacious of life that no
degree of cold or heat can affect it. Freeze one
till you can break it in two thaw the pieces and
they will revive. Freeze the eggs until CONCEAL
ed in ice; let them thaw and they will hatch
