R6S~The discovery that there is a
South is a remarkable one, which seems
to be made all Of sudden in the North
and even by Congress. 1t is now dis
covered that there is an extreme beyond
which oppression, impoverishment, and
the ruin of whole people, cannot profit
ably 90. Some few Northern business
men, in sufficient favor to be needed,
have been stupid enough to see that the
loss of three out Of four millions of bales
of cotton is a serious matter to the North
as well as the South. The political stu
alton of the South is small matter, and
impeachment a tri6e, when three thou
sand millions are to pay, and it is iudis-
pensible there should be South in order
to pay it. The pelicy of crushing out the
Southern staples, on which the prosperity
of the country as to its exports and com.
merce SC largely depends, will not out
live this tunp Congress itself The
Northern pocket is touched, and that will
do more for us than its conscience ever
can do. We must make bread aud meat
and be independent of both. We can
manufacture all the cotton at home
which we can ever proftabIy raise.

TO which the extreme Radical leaders
had committed themselves when they
were made mad TO facilitate their de-
struction. The charges they make, with
the pretenses Of proofs, have been gath
cred with fine rake, and spun out with
sophistries, and no man can answer what
great crime it is the President has com
mitted. This fact, were there nothing
else in this partisan prostitution OF power
by the majority committee OF Congress,
which will damn the authors TO an eiern'
ity Of infamy, is enough to condemn the
whole plot. And in order to convict
johnson, they must convict their friend
Stanton, with all the rest Of the Cabinet,
and also Mr.. Abraham Lincoln The
great salient point of the accusation
against johnson these usurpers soy, is
usurpation of power" They charge
him with endeavoring to return rebels to
power in government which they had
vainly endeavored to destroy" when
Grant had gone beyond him, and the fact
is, the rebels never sought to destroy, but
only to escape from that government
These Radical leaders are now divided
among themselves. They will doubtless
have a furious fight, and much that would
have disgraced the country in former
times will come to light. The Northern
States have given in their verdict already,

will haze little to do with the fracas but

peoted from these figures, and from the
fact that now hundreds Of millions have
found their way into the cotton culture
AZ the rate Of increase already before Ne,
Great Britain will supplied and able
to do without our cottons without a
mills appreciation Of the price within q
very short period. So far from locking
for an increased price by the falling
short Of the quantity produced here, we
believe that small production here is
necessary to keep prices at the present
figure, and that full crop here added TO
the now greatly augmented aggregate OF
the present product IN other countries
would cause very material decline in
our market. Cheap labor once enabled US
to command the markets of the world,
and cotton was our king, But now cheap
labor enables others to command the
market and our king has gone where
that labor is to be had, Without con-
trolled and regulated labor, the Southern
States can never again compete in
raising cotton. And such confidence
has been given to capitalists by the
consciousness Of this fact that they are
extending the means Of production, so
that without the half usually produced
by our States the supply furnished will
reach the highest figure heretofore
known, within two years, and probably
within one. If the law of supply and
demand governs, and we make another
half crop next year, we shall get
another half a price, and whole four
million crop would come near giving us
no price at all How much better to
raise grain and stock, and be at once
more independent as well as more com
portable and more happy. Not being
without experience as a cotton planter,
Ne speak in the interest of our friends
What we really think. 1t will result

o raise stock and let cotton alone,
which will never be produced at the old
ate of profit in this country again,
