"Such plantation, with excellent improve
ments, can be purchased at from SlO,OOO to
Sic, 900; but say that plantation with 650
acres of cleared land has altogether 1900 acres,
and that $40 an acre is paid for it, or SSO, ,Ooo;
this, subtracted from the net proceeds of one
years labor, would pay Cor the plantation,
with mules, cattle, hogs, wagons, utensils, NC,
and still leave balance of $4,000"
Who would not plant cotton? No wonder,
that with such beautiful calculations Mr..
Freedman's friends in the far North cry out
that he does not get a fair equivalent for his
labor; that the planter gets all, and the negro
little or nothing, etc. What are the facts
The expenses are pretty much as stated above.
Pork is not as high now, nor clothing perhaps;
mules are higher; but with taxes, and factors
rates of interest fer advances, &c., the S26, ,OOO
estimated expense is not one cent too much.
Now as to the receipts: tea bales to the
hand, or a bale to the acre, was the maximum
average in the days Of slavery; taking no ac-
count of army worm, boil worm, drought, fresh
ct, absence Of negroes from plantations, for
registration or election, or to 60 to the Provost
Court, either as principal OF witness; after
paying the tax, freight and commissions, it is
fair to assume that the planter in the West
will not net over cents h., which, with o
full crop would yield him $4,000 gross re-
qeipts; but with half crop, such as most
planters make this year only $4,000. To sum
up: expenses $4,000, proceeds (goOd crop
$4,000, loss $1,000; if half crop only is
gathered, loss $4,000 Who would NOT plant
cotton
From the "notices af the press" printed
ON the cover, we see that the German papers
have recommended Mr.. MARsH's Manual.
Thus the "Mannheimer Journal is particu-
larly pleased with the estimates it gives, for
the cultivation of firms. The German econo-
mists, it is to be feared, will be disposed to
emigrate en- masss, to come here and engage in
cotton planting, seduced by Mr.. MARsH's "es-
Inmates" We are of course desirous to have
as many Germans come here as we can posi-
bly induce to cast their fortunes with us, but
we should not like to have them come with
hopes that must prove illusory; as it will
necessarily make them dissatisfied, and dis
posed to leave again, as soon as they may
be able.

COTTON PLANTING.

We have received a copy of an interesting
pamphlet, prepared by Mr. MARSH, United
States Consul at Altoona (Wegweiser fur Aus
wanderer mach den Vereinigten Staten. IT.
is useful manual for German emigrants in
search of information in relation to the United
States
Mr.. MARSH gives fair representation OF
the several parts of the Union. as far as can
be done within the limits Of little pamphlet,
and states tue inducements held out by the
different States to immigrants.
The estimates of profits Of cotton planting
however. arc o little over the mark. Mr.
MARSH copied them from the Agricultural Re-
porter Of two years ago, and either is not
aware that cotton has fallen since, or else ac-
cidentally forgot to change the figures to suit
the year 1867, which we find on the title page
Thus, on page Is, we find the following esti-
mate of cotton plantation in the Mississippi
Valley, five hundred acres in cotton, and one
hundred and fifty in corn:

TIE WASHINGTON CHRONICLE says. Lettefs-
pntent have Just been issued to four gentlemen

ton, for an invention which, if It accomplish
what is claimed for it, will greatly facilitate the
operations and econOmize the time OF legislatures
alsd all other deliberative bodies. By an arrange
ment Of wires similar to that of the hotel-annun-
ciator, connecting the desks Of the members OF
dalberative body with the voting apparatus men,
btrs are enabled TO vote all at once, and, after
moments time being allowed for change OF vote
bI any member who may desire it, the result--that
is, the idividual vote Of each member, together
with the aggregates respectively of the yeas and
neys, are plainly shown ON the dial plates. Simul-
ia neously with the summary result, the name OF
each member voting is printed for the use OF the
re porters of the press Eight distinct claims made
by the inventors have been allowed by the Com
m issioner of patents, and arrangements are being
co nsummated for the construction of machine

IT Is A CURIOUS fact that, while within the pre-
Sc ut century women have achieved distinguished
su ccess in nearly every department Of literature
no woman has ever Won name dramatic au-
tn Or. In the higher fields of science, history and
ph ilosophy, we have such names as Mary Somer-
Vile, Harriet Martneau and Francis Cobbe; in the
upper regions Of romance, We have such feminine
ma mes as George Sand, Miss Evans and Charlotte
Br onte-not to speak OF Miss Muhlbach and
others; in philosophical speculation, there is the
ma me Of Margaret Fuller; in art criticism, we
ba We the names of Mrs Jameson and Mrs. S. C..
Hall. in literature of travel, Ida P6fer and Miss
Lott: and in grand poetry Mrs. Browning, not to
mention Jane Ingelow. But of the scores of mod
er, drauatists, who do very successful and in
Sol ne cases very admirable work, we do not among
tht m, recall the name of single woman. Among
tbo writer's whom we have mentioned, and among
others whom we might mention, there arc unques-
ito nably women of great dramatic powers. But
vhyis it that the productions of their intellect
newer take the dramatic form?
The NEwspApERs, says the New York Day BOOK

sternation by her sudden disappearance. For
long time their search was in vain. At last they
discovered the unfortunate Princess hidden in a
distant wood close to farm, where it appeared
nhe had offered herself as dairy-maid to the
farmers wife, who had not recognized her. What

King, an Empress, now widow without throne,
