The first bale of new cotton sold at Marion

on last Friday, and sold to Nlcssrs. Prewctt

to have their doubts whether white lucn can
endure field labor in this climate. perhaps
not, but it scems white women can. AS they
have got through the summer safely, VIC trust
a few of our young men, with nothing else to
90, will venture to experiment little in the
same Direction. Perhaps raising corn and
cotton, wheat and stock, is not necessarily
more fatal than clcrking in dry good stores, or

An exchange remarks that few persons think
how much money even short crap of cotton
will yield tho South this year at present pri.
ces Estimating the crop at 500, 600 bales,
which is about what it will be, at $50 ncr
bale, about fair average price, the crop will
produce Sl95, 900, 900 and Weld the Govern
mcnt revenue of s22 900 900. This sum
diliuscd among all branches of trade and bus

hard and stringent times The cotton money
will soon begin to circulate we hope
The "Cultivator very scnsbly insists that
the labor of the South shall be diversified -
That tea, grass, clover, fruits, &C., should
claim share Of our attention. 1t believes
that small crop of cotton will command as
much money as large one, the price being
higher; and that we have an abundance Of
! time and material for other crops, &c. In
this, we think the Z" Cultivator'' is sensible
and very practical.
