I, WE are curious to know what the
planters will DO with their crops, in
view of the Radical exhibition in the
late elections. Will they sell them
to yankee manufacturers, for green
backs? or will they ship them direct
to Europe and get gold in return p
II is our belief that the yankees will
get the cotton for greenbacks, and
then get back the greenbacks, with
fifty per cent interest superadded
The great body of the southern pep
pie are chivalrous in time of ,wpr
but in tine of peace, we know no,
whether to call them gullible, avari
cious, or spiritless. One or the othsl
weakness has long made them thu
slaves of the yankees, aud experience
seems to teach them no wisdom, and
wrongs, no resentment, Necessity is
some palliation, since the war, but i,
reaches not back into the distant pas
nor into the nearer future. Present
obligations having been met, every
pound Of cotton, not manufactured
at home, should be shipped to Eu'
rope, 50 long at least, as the dominant
northern party continues to be the
vindictive enemy of the South.
The South will have to do some,
thing in self. defense, and nothing SC
effective offers itself as such dipo.
sition Of the cotton crops as will most
enrich our own section, and least
benefit New England. Home manu-
featuring, or enslavement and power
ty are the alternatives between which
we will be forced to choose. If the
present batch of amendments be rat
fled, the next condition of restora.
ton will be such modification OF
the constitution as will enable Con
grcss to impose an export tax on cot
ton. This done, we must manufac-
iture our cotton or sell it to the yam.
KEGS, at whatever price they may
offer.

GEN. BLAIR was mobbed, at Cape
Girardcau, last Monday night. He
was there for the purpose of making
a speech, but the Radicals would not
hear him and expressed their objec-
tions by s,oneing the house in which
he lodged. The General has learned
by this time, the infamous character
of the men with whom he cooperated
during the war, and will cease to be
surprised that the South wished to
dissolve its connection with so villa.

The elections in Memphis and the
county Of Shelby, on Saturday last,
resulted in the signal defeat of the
mulatto party. The infamous clique
has rendered itself SO detestably odi-
Gus by its crimes against justice and

protect it against public indignation.

One Hundred Years to Come.

Who'll press for gold this crowded street,
A hundred years to come?
Who Il tread yon church with willing feet,
A hundred years to come 2
Pale, trembling age, and fiery youth,
And childhood with his brow of truth;
The rich and poor, ON land and sea
Where will the mighty million be
A hundred years to Gomez
We all within our graves shall sleep
A hundred years to come
No living soul for us shall weep
A hundred years to come;
But other men our land will till,
And others then our streets will fill,
And other words viii sing as gay,
And bright the sunshine as today
A hundred years to come.

~ We have often known

a We have often known
and heard of instances where
the benefits derived from adj
vertising were shown to be
immense, but the strongest IL
lustration, we have lately read
of was thatof a young bachelor,
who tired of his lonely position,
advertised for a wife. In three
days he received answers from
eighteen husbands, each one
freely offering to allow him to
take theirs, without money
and without price," Eleven
hundred offered him "boot"
ranging in value, all the way
from pair of old shoes to a
farm in Vermont.

~ The Henderson Times is

- The Henderson Times is
responsible for what follows:
OF all the Southern States,
Texas and Louisiana have been
most sorely cursed. with mean
governors. Wells is a fool and
a knave-Hamilton is. not a
fool, but is" wiekedly wise"
and a greater knaye even than
the other. Fortunately, we are
rid of Hamilton andifthe pray
ers of the people avail, his step
will never again polIute the soil
of Texas. Would that Louisi-
ana could say as much for her
governor. A friend, writing from
New Orleans, expresses a desire
to trade him off and proposes
to throw in theremaining mem
bers of the Convention of 1864.
We would like to accommodate,
but really we don't know a man
now remaining in Texas that
we would exchange for so con-
temptible a wretch as Wells or
any of the aforesaid Conyen-
tionites.

The Idiosynoracies Of New York
MiSerS..

1t is not generally known
that New York at the present
time contains a large number
of misers as inveterate and de-
graded as any on record, and-if
we had space we could give a
series of portraits of ayarice
and wealth which would make
the reader shudder. Many of
these misers are old business
men who have withdrawn from
active life and still keep up
their faded and weather stained
signs, and beneath the garb of
trade ply their money saving
habits. These men will be
found sitting solitary in dingy
offices, filled with cobwebs and
thick with the dust of years.
Money-boFrowers know where
to go, and here these pale and
threadbare fossils receive the
best securities for their daily
loans. Some of these half
starved wretches, whose trem-
bling hands can hardly sign a
check, can draw for sums that
would shake q bank. One of
the richest men in the city is
now to be found in just such a
dingy hole as we have describ-
ed, where he loans enormous
sums daily. He was a merchant
once, and his old sign is still
up; and inside all things re-
main as they were a half cen
tury ago. He suffers daily for
the comforts of life, but all this
is compensated for by the pleas
ure of accumulation. "They
come to me to beg" said the
old man to an acquaintance,
"and there's not q beggar in
| New York that dosen't live as
well as I do''-a statement
which was quite true.
A specimen of the better
class of this genus was given
in the late Exchange Place rob
berry, where Rufus Lord, q man
upwards of four score, was the
solitary occupant of an office
which contained between ST.
100000 and s., ,000,000in stocks
and securities-all his own
Here this old man sat, day after

of $1,000 per week, no doubt

ping, and the job was one o
the neatest and most successful
: ever done in New York.
The late Stephen Whitney
: was a striking instance of tht
commercial miser. When W.
: knew him he had made abou
9 $4,000, 900, and at the age o
It seventy-fye was trying hard tt
get rich. The person and com
tenance of this wretched MAJ
were a study. The tremulou
form, the sharpened feature an,
