ing to Scotland at an early day, with the view
of bringingO over with him colony Of emf
grants, embracing in the number the sons Of

Such an immigration will be most welcome to
Virginia. Indeed, some Of its most valuable
early settlers We're Scotchmen, who contribu-

remarkably industrious and thrifty people,

1t is proposed in the Common Council OF
New York to erect a monument to FULrox,
who first successfully applied steam to nayi-
CATION. .e.
II ever Il public benefactor deserved such an
honor, this was the man. But it is wrong to
speak Of it as an honor to him. 1t is dis
honor to his countrymen that his name has
never been cOmmemOrated by such a memo
rial, and more disgraceful still that his family
have been permitted to remain in poverty.
What cities, States, empires, has his genius
enriched, and yet his descendants have wan
dered, penniless, amongst the almost fabulous
treasures their ancestor brought to light Per-
haps the best tribute that could he paid to him
would be 4 return to his descendants of some
of the boundless wealth that his invention
conferred upon his country. .,. ,.-s 4......r
New York, the Empire State, owes her great
ness principally to two men-FULTON and
Clinton. They were neither of them politi-
clans. The politicians are disputatiOus,
pestiferous and unproductive race, who never
do any good to mankind. They often succeed
in destroying the products of creative genius
and practical minds, but never substitute any
thing in their place. They live in and for
themselves, make a great noise and attract
much attention but they are like clouds which
disappointing the thirsty earth and blowing
dust in peoples eyes. DE WITT CLINTON, it is
true, was public man, but public man in
the best sense-advancing the civilization,
power, influence and credit of his native State
by works of public and practical utility. On
his Atlantean shoulders he bore New York
from infancy to empire. The great canal with
which his name is indelibly associated is his
best monument. But he was no politician.
He did not court popularity, but popularity
followed him, and was chained to his trium-
phal car. All that CLINTON accomplished was
the dust of the balance compared to the fruits
of FuLroN's triumph. CLINTON labored for u
State, FULTON for the world, and wherever
the hot breath of steam pants over the waters,
it tells the story of his fame. f- e.tss
1t is strange how little consideration the
world bestows upon its greatest benefactors,
whilst it never tires of allmiring those who do
it most injury, such rs selfish politicians and
ambitious soldiers. 1lar.s- =. - ..e

From 4 lecture recently delivered on SCOT
ton. before the Geographical and Statistical
Society Of New York by Mr.. EDWARD A. AT
ktNsoS. il appears that the cotton crop of this
corntry in 1860 was Il little oyer five millions
of bales, while that reported as produced in
other countries was only seven hundred and
fifty Thousand bales. These five million bales
furnished the material to employ, in England,
tLirtv-tlfree million spindles on the continent,
twelve millions and in the United States, five
millions Estimating the capital employed III
spinning, weaving and printing this crop as
equal 10 ten dollars per spindle, we have re-
sult of $500 900 900 employed i'll the manutac-
ture of this cotton. To attend 10 this manu-
faciure required about one million Of work
men, whose labors resulted in inereasing the
value of these five million bales from 500 0o0,-
to about $500 GOA, 900. Estimating the average
product per hand on the plantation at little
over six bales, we have eight hundred thou
sand slaves ensployed in. the production Of this
crop of 1860, which, at the average value of
81 ,2loz-not 2 large price for Held hands at that

cost The,fict is shown by statistics that only
about one and two thirds per cent. OF the
area of the Southern States is devoted to cot
ION growing In other words, said the lectu-
rer, imagine the Cotton States to be repres ented
by a Chez board of the usual sixty-fO
squares, and the amount Of land actually en-
ployed would be represented by one square.
The en- tire cot ton producing region of America
is not larger than the States of Massachusetts
and Rhode Island. There are still vast tracts
of the Southern, and especially the South
western States, not now devoted to cotton
culture, which can be proAtably employed for
that purpose. The table lands of Texas, now
solely devoted to grazing, are well adapted to
the cultivation of cotton. In 1862 Texas, on
one fourth Of one per cent. of her territory,
raised four hundred and five thousand bales.
The large German population of Texas bids
fair 10 make it one of the first cotton prOdu
cling States in the Union. The great necessity
now is to get the labor system of the cotton
States organized and regulated, in order to OBJ
tain the means of re establishing our credit
abroad and relieving the nation from the Pc
cuniary burdens which now press upon it.
