Charles Dickens.

On the former visit pf this dlstln-
guished novelist to this country, q
portion of the American people-to
speak in common parlance-made
fools of themselves by an exhibition
Of man-worship and adulatory fetes,
&C., unworthy of a rational and sem
sible community. From the state
ments made in the New York jour-
nails, the present generation is likely
to repeat the same folly, and verify
the old saying, that "all the fools are
not dead yet" Let it be hoped,
however. that more decorum will be
exhibited in the present, than in the
former reception. Mr.. Dickens, him
self, contributed to this hoped-for
change, by the exquisitely keen and
Just excoriation he gave the ninnies
who nauseated him with vulgar adu-
lation on his last visit; and not one
single rebuke he gave to the per-
formers in these silly demonstrations,
in his american Notes." and "Mar-
tin Chuzzlewit," that they did not
richly deserve.
It is to be hoped, therefore, that
the reception of one of the greatest
novelists of his age and generation,
and one who, by his writings, has
done more for the amelioration of
the poorer and more vicious classes
in his own country, will be such as
BELTS literary benefactor. On the
occasion of his last visit, he travelled
through certain portions of the South,
and witnessed the working of the
system of slavery then existing. We
hope and trust that he will come
down this way again, and examine
the operation of the "new system" of
Southern labor, as established in the
Southern States, by laws of Congress,
and enforced by military rule, and
see its effects on both races, who,
when he was here before, were happy
and contented. The comparison be-
tween the condition of the South
then, and that of the present, would
afford an admirable theme for the
keen satire and sarcasm, which char
acterizes nearly every volume of his
writings, and better enlighten the
Englishmen and cockneys on "the
situation" than the production of
any ether writer. lie will be well
coined and cordially received by the
Southern people, but without toady-
ism; and his readings" as properly
appreciated by them, as they would
by those self-styled literateurs who
revolve around the club of civiliza-
tion" in another section.

Profits OF Cotton Piantiux.

Profits OF Cotton Planting.
The National InteAigencer takes q
proper view of the prospects and
profits of cotton planting at the
South, and after an unprejudiced re-
view of the subject, comes to the
conclusion that, whatever may be the
quantity of the staple produced this
season, the planters will receive little
remuneration for it. The insuficienoy
even of the labor employed, is one
cause to which this result is attributed
by the Iateligencery and, we may say,
very correctly, for however honestly
and justly the freedmen may have
worked in some localities, yet as
general rule, either misled by false
teachings, or fascinated by equally
false promises, they have rot come
up to their work with that spirit, or
with that amount of labor which the
wants of their impoverished section
demanded.
There is still another cause for dis
~couragement to planters proper, who
own the lands, and that is the present
low price of cotton. This cause will
operate still more severely on those
who rented plantations, and had
= chiefly to rely on the industry of the
freedmen, rather than on experience.
At the present price, which is still
further lowered by the infliction of
an unjust tax, the production of cot.
ton must be a losing business. The
net income in gold, will not be more
than was realized many year pre-
'ceding the war, when the legitimate
labor of the plantation was not inter-
'fered with, and when no article of
planters supplies, cost half as much
as they do at the'present time. AS
matter of course, a general abandon
ment of its culture must follow, if
this state of affairs continues.
AS we remarked the other day,
cotton manufacturers are only reap
ing what they have sown. They, too,
complain of the cotton tax which,
s they allege. destroys the cotton trade,
and which, added to the taxes i'm
posed otherwise, will force them out
OF the market entirely, giving the
whole field to the British manufao-
turers. We might say, SO be it,
F.; although we should like to see every
American enterprise prosper; but it
must be borne in mind that it was
faheir own stupidity and folly, either
in'grasping after exorbitant and un-
godly gains, or encouraging vindic-
tive legislation in the National Legis
lature, that have brought upon them
the evils they now so loudly complain
,nf- a meeting of these manufactu-
rers was lately held in Philadelphia,
al which it was boldly alleged-and
we believe the allegation-that of the
whole tax imposed on cotton, but a
small portion reached the Treasury.
Half of it, it was asserted, was con-
sumed by the expenses of collection,
or in a less direct acay alienated from
the Treasury.
Suck is the prospect for the cotton
planter; and if all the signs do not
fail, and as surely as event follows
cause, the price, from the competition
of foreign production, cannot appre-
ciate, but must decline.

TESTIMONIAL OF REGARD Major
Benjamin Sloan having resigned his
position rs Superintendent of the
Greenville and Columbia Railroad,
the employees determined to present
him with substantial testimonial of
their regard. AS it was known that
he expected to take charge of a large
plantation, which would necessarily
require the services of horse. set
of equipments-a handsome saddle,
bride and whip-(to which Messrs.
Honson & Sutphen kindly added
very neat pair of spurs were deemed
a suitable present. w. G. Heriot,
Esq. on behalf of the employees,
presented the articles to Major Sloan,
with the following remarks:
MAJOR B. SLOAN: Your friends,
approaching the gentlenanly deport-
ment and kind demeanor which has
always characterized your intercourse
with them, take much pleasure in
presenting you with the accompany
ing testimonial of their sincere regard
aud esteem. We trust you may find
it useful to you in your new vocation.
It is almost needless for us to tell
you how much sorrow we experience
at parting with you and in bidding
you kind farewell. We wish you
much happiness and success in the
future.
Major Sloan responded:
GENTLEMEN: This handsome pre-
sent you bring to me is as unexpected
as the pleasure is great with which 7
accept it. Since my connection with
the Greenville and Columbia Rail-
road, it has ever been my earnest
endeavor to discharge my duty to the
company faithfully, and if, in adher-
ing strictly to my construction of
this duty, I have, at the same time,
so entirely gained your good will, I
am sure have reason to be proud of
my SUCCESS. My intercourse with
each of you has been pleasant under
all circumstances, and it is with deep
regret leave you to attend to my
own personal affairs. In parting, L
am obliged to thank you. individu-
ally, for the promptness and cheer
fulness you have always exhibited in
the discharge of the duties imposed
upon you.
Permit me again to return you my
warmest thanks for your kindness;
and believe me, gentlemen, that, in
the future, nothing can give me more
pleasure than to hear of the entire
success in life of each, one of you.
