Advice to the Planters.


In the circular letter Of the Secretary of
the Treasury on the produce loan, aud the
produce of cotton, the recommendation is
made that the planters should Immediately
take measures for winter crops TO relieve the
demands for grain and provisions, and that
they should proceed to divert part of their
labor from cotton, and make their own cloth
ing and supplies. The advice is good and
pertinent. We have DGf of uncertain
length before Us, a restricted cottonmdrket, and
consequently hard times. Provisions, clothing,
shoes. &c, are high and in demand. These
things our planters can raise and make.
Let the planters enlarge the grain crops;
SOW wheat rye, barley; save peas, potatoes,
pumpkins; make their own clothing for fam
lily and negroes; and save hides, and make
shoes for themselves and slaves. These
things must be made in the South, and they
never will be made until the farmer and
planter take an interest in their production
or manufacture. The times are tight with
the planter, because he has nothing but cot
ton to sell. They would be prosperous enough
If he had wheat, corn, oats, beef mutton,
pork, &C., and we should have heard nothing
Of the present expostulations of the planting
interest about the need of money to purchase
ordinary supplies, and to discharge the Con-
fcderatn

We clip the following market report from
the New Orleans Picayune of the 23d of
December:
There has been continued fair inquiry
during the early part of the past week for
our leading staple for future delivery, (that
is, deliverable in few weeks after the block
ade shall have been removed,) on the basis
of and SIC. for middling, cash down; and
several negotiations of this character were
closed at these figures; but while there has
been increased inquiry at the outside rate
there have been but few sellers since the
receipt of the important intelligence that the
British Government had sent out messeu-
ger to demand from the Federal Government
the surrender of the captured G. S. Commits
siope ers, it being generally expected that the
demand will be refused, and that in this
event the English fleet will be ordered to
open our port.
This political news has also increased the
inquiry for tobacco, and induced factors to
retire their stocks while the markets for
several articles which had been inflated to
extreme rates by the short supply caused by
the blockade, have been unsettled and de-
pressed, and both exchange and specie have
experienced heavy decline. The CONNER
cial effects OF these political movements have
not been less decided in England and the
clined 11d. at Liverpool, and advanced in
New York from 30 to 42c. for Gulf middlinp.
The course Of the Federal Government in
this matter is looked for with great concern
in our commercial circles, most favorable
results being anticipated from the refusal to
surrender the Commission ners.
Colton-Tbe inquiry for future delivery
has continued fair throughout the week, but
has received an additional impulse from the
important political intelligence referred to
above, while it has caused parties who were
willing to sell, to Withdraw from the market
and await further developments. The re-
ported sales comprise 100 bales on Monday
al SIC for middlinR; $50 on Tuesday at &c.,
ano 30 at SIC; 400 and 100 on Wednesday
at Sc; 100 yesterday at s1sc., and 25 to day,
all for future delivery. This makes total
of 1925 bales. We have not heard of a sale
from the stock on the spot, little or none of
which is offering. There have been some
receipts, but as they were on special permits
from the Governor of the State, they have
made no addition to the stock.
Weeks receipts 440 bales; last year SO 600.
Total since September l. 2,54l last year
81, 26O. Weeks exports 44O; last year 6s, ,638,
Total exports 752 bales; last year 6l5, 200 to
Great Britain, and lie 600 to France.

OPPOSITION TO JEFF DAVIS AT NEW Or.
LEANs.-Recent numbers of the New Orleans
True Delta contain three different editorial
attacks on the JEFF. Davis government. The
editor does not believe that the peculiar
logic of Davis viii convince England or
France of the ineficiency of the United
States blockade, or bring either of those
powers to his assistance, but argues that
European nations are not to be gained to the
rebel cause by foolishly refusing them any
cotton, except through Confederate ports,
In the next article, on The Prospect he
thinks that prayer and fasting are not ca ual
to the duty of coping with Enfield rifles and
rifed cannon, for that Providence often takes
the side of the heaviest artillery; that United
States formidable fleets" have created a
terrible panic throughout the South; that
Fernandina, Brunswick, Savannah aud other
places on the Southern seacoast, are in great
danger of sharing the fate of Cape Hatteras,
Port Royal and Ship Island; and that in
short, "the prospect" of an independent
Southern Utopia, within any reasonable
period of time, is exceedingly gloomy. The
third article denounces the rebel Administra-
tion as permitting swindling and injustice in
various departments.

MRS. LINCoLN's NRW. YEARS GIFT.-Among
the prominent visitors at the White House,
on New-year's Day, was Major W. F.SM.
Army, successor of Kit Carson, United
States Indian Agent in New Mexico. He
wore full suit of buckskin, made in the
Mexican style, elegantly embroidered with
silk and beads. He privately presented to
Mrs. Lincoln a splendid blanket as New
years offering. II is an evidence of the
taste and skill of the Rocky Mountain Indi-
ans. This blanket was made by a squaw of
NavsjOe chief, she having been employed
upon it for five months. It is of large size,
of wool, the figures upon it being of white,
red and blue. MAJOR Army says there are
about ten thousand Navajoes in New Mex
ico who own, with the Mechanism the Ter
ritory, probably million of sheep, which
are used principally for food. The animals
remain uDshorn Of the wool, which would
make good blankets and clothing for our

The Bit of"striped Bunting. Asa,u.

The tone of the London Times grows more
and more bitter toward the United States.
Inc editor, like common scold, lashes him
selfinto rage by the strokes of his own pen,
and pours out contemptuous and contempti-
BILE language upon every thing American.
There is no magnanimity in the indiscrimi-
nate abuse. Even our poor little navy is
abused in the most lubberly style, and scorn
fairly curls the lip when so insignificant
subject is referred to. We are taunted with
the fact that the Sumter is still at large in
spite of our navy; that our blockade is no
blockade at all that the Harvey Birch has
been burned in the British channel aud are
told how neffably "cheap" England holds our
whole naval establishments Thisis all doubt
less very true, but if the rulers of England
follow the inseDsate course recommended by
the Times, and iorce war upon our hands, it
is quite likely that they will have no reason,
at the end of it, to complain of the small size
OF our navy. Indeed, if our Government is
wise, it will exert itself to the utmost to re.
move this cause of complaint as speedily as
possible. If we were more upon an equality
with England in this respect, peace would
be more certain. We are not disposed, how
ever, to take the Times for a prophet in this
matter. 1t is very much inclined to allow
its feelings to influence its predictions. 1t is
within the remembrance of some of the sex
agenarians amoug US, that the Times on
the eve OF the war of 1872, spoke equally
eontemptuously of the American Navy, and
predicted that the bit of Striped bunting"
floating at our mastheads would be swept
from the seas. Yet at the end of the war, it
still hoated and more proudly than ever, for
its naughty foe had been taught by bitter
experience to respect it. There is a vitality
in q resolute people which can not be easily
destroyed no matter what pressure there is
upon its life.-BGItimore Clipper.

MATERIAL FOR INSULATING TELEGRAPH
WIREs.-Ata late meeting of the French
Academy of Sciences, NJ. Series gave an
account of bslata, shrub which abounds in
Guiana, and affords juice which, he as
serted, was supe ror for many purposes to
gutta percha, b At especially as an insulating
material for enveloping telegraph wires.
The milk or juice is drinkable, and used by
the natives with coffee; it coagulates quickly
when exposed to the air, and almost in
tsntsneously when precipitated by alcohol,
which also dissolves the resin of the balata
juice. All the articles made with gutta
percha can be made with tie sap of the
bslsts, and it has no disagreeable smell.
When worked up it becomes as supple as
cloth, and more flexible than gutta percha
NJ. Serres exhibited to the Academy a mum
Der of articles which were manufactured of
balata milk,

EASY TIMES IN TExAs.-The New Orleans
Pcayuns has news from Texas to the follow
ing effect:
The Mexicans are buying the cotton from
the Texans, paying from nine to ten cents
per pound, in gold. The Texans procure the
baggiDg and rope from the Mexicaus, and
every thing is at moderate prices. That por-
ton OF Texas is well supplied with gold and
silver currency. Provisions are plentiful at
very low prices-pork being only four cents
per pound, and corn thirty cents per bushel.
Drygoods can bepurchased in the little to wns
at prices which would astonish the people in
the older States of the Confederacy. There
is no disposition to buy up every thing for
sale and run up prices. The people of Texas
have not felt the war in the least They are
we'll supplied with provisions, clothing and
money, and are progressing as happily as if
there was but one President on this CONT
nent. Texas, just at this time, may be re-
garded as the garden spot of America.

, A reporter in the coast expedition recently
went out on Tybee Island to survey fort
that had been evacuated by the rebels. He
had not proceeded far when a shell was fired
at him from Fort Pulaski, and had it not
been for corporal, who knew the ropes,
without doubt he would never have been
able to make his mark again. The corporal
run out, knocked him down, and fell him

Provinces to exercise their influence in favor

Hitherto the most Onerous taxes have been
