WHAT SHALL THE POOR
 FARMER DO,

Scarcely day passes in which we arc not asked this question. The farm CT has staked great deal on cotton, and lost not one in the whole country that has made a dollar this year on the staple. Day by day the product of their toll is brought to market; and when their expenses are proven more than their profits they ask in all seri- ousncss what shall we do-we answ CT ; let cotton alone. It is now settled there is no money in it, and why waste time and labor for no profit; let every farmer prepare to raise corn, wheat and other products which are equally adap- table to our soil; and when this order of things is established, it will be pro ven that the farmer shall do we'll.

@-At session of tho Maryland Baptist Union Association, the quss- ton of negro equality was discussed, and some of the white members said they would never admit the negro to social equality; that they would never sit down to the same table with them, but would willingly extend to them the hand of religious fellowship. This declaration was meckly received by the colored brethren present, one of whom said the colcred people did not desire social equality with the white, and that equality, like water, would find it's own level.

The Fortieth Congress.

A few days since, says the Little Rock Gazette, we said. the southern states had nothing to fear from "con- grcssional confiscation but that iniqui- ity would be worked by the coming convention ana the legislature it will provide for, by the enactment and ad- ministration of unjust tax laws, which will amount to practical confiseation. The following from the Anti-Slavery Standard has not had the effect to make us change our opinion rFf g.
 The limited and conditional grant of political rights already extended to the negroes of the south, has awakened among them a consciousness of power which they did not feel a year ago. They expected then that the federal government would guarantee to them not only political equality, but also homesteads. Every effort has been made to disabuse their minds as to the prospect of land from the federal gov ernment but they have, meanwhile, been learning more fully the signifi- canoe of the ballot in the hands of a landless majority, with unrepentant rebels for opponents. We speak ad- visedly when we say, that though the negroes are not now, as formerly, looking for land from the general gov ernment, they have not given up the ex- pectation of having it in another way. Unless Johnson following the lead of his initial movement d;sarming the negroes of the District of Columbia, is oil IrV cd fa do tho struction, and crush out the radical po- litical strength now rapidly developing in the South, the blacks, wherever they, with their friends, are in the vo- ting majority, will so shape the new state legislation as to make the landed property of the south (their's by their own past unrequited toiD subserve their immediate wants in the way of education and local improvement. In subjecting the southern lands to heavy taxation for educational and other le- gitimate ends, we think they would act wisely and well. The fortieth con- gress will still have the opportunity, if it has the wisdom and the courage to provide for uniform national system of suffrage and education, also to re- store to the possession of the federal government the immense landed estates of rebels, perfidously surrendered by the traitor executive. Thus it may. as- sume, as sequence of the war, juris- diction of problems which otherwise will inevitably continue for long time to divide the people of the south and to distract the nation. We are near the presidential campaign, but with Johnson impeached or suspended, and prompt, thorough, radical legisla- tion, such as we have indicated, the Bull Run' of the October and Mo- vember elections can be more than made up. There may arise a contin- gency in which it will be the duty of to depose president, but to designate one for the next succeeding term.

B@~South Carolina's crop of Sea Island cotton this year, according to an estimate published in the Charleston Mercury, will be 2590 bags of 300 pounds each. The crop of nine years ago was l6,5G9 bales. A variety ot misfortunes has befallen South Caroli- na, as well as other Southern States, all tending to diminish production Among the principal causes for the failure of the Carolinians to revive the culture of the Sea Island more exten- sively, is the fact that the federal gov ernment gave up to horde of negroes most of the plantations on which this choice variety grows. They have failed to make these lands productive, and the rightful owners thereof have had no opportunity to do so.
