Not Less Cotton, but More Fruit,
secure peace


The high price of cotton is an i'm
mediate blessing to our District, since
il will bring much longcd for rolicf,
and put tho planters into condition to
plant on thciy own capital, next year.
For surely, if any people ever cxpc-
ricnccd the truth Of the adago that
"tho man who trades on borrowed cap
ltal will never thrivc,' the Southern
planters, for tho last thrco years, arc
that people. Not that credit Is not
good thing, but it is too good thing
for most Of us, and John Quincy Adj
ans would say that we aro tho VIC
tins of financial intompcranco, just
as he docs say, that political intcmpc-
rance has, in other respects, ruined us.
We would, therefore, suggest to
cvory farmer in the District, slight
outlay of the proceeds of say ono hun
drcd pounds of lint cotton in such
way MS wo guarantee will mako him
start to trade upon his own resources,
and at tremendous profit. Lot him
fcnco in from two to six acres this fall
and plant fruit trees. 1t can be done
at very slight expense, and tho immc-
diato luxury twill quickly bring, as
we'll rs tho extent to which it will on.
t'.nco tho value Of his homestead,
should b. sufficient Inducements to
everybody to do it. Tho prico Of
cotton may so down noxt year, or the
year after. 1t is a trcaohcrous COM
modify to risk a years labor upon OK
clusivcly. But ripo fruit will always
be palatablc, and cidor, vinegar,
peach brandy, dricd or preserved
fruits will over find roady sale.
In our own district, this very year,
q gentleman has cleared ovor one hun
drod dollars to tho acre upon his or
chard of poachcs. At Aikon, farm
purchased with its orchard by Now
York firm, last winter, for twelve
thousand five hundred dollars cash,
has in ono year alone paid for itself.
Sixteen aoros planted in grapovinos,
near Portsmouth, Virginia, it is stat
cd in tho Richmond Dispatch, cleared
this year, sixteen thousand dollars,
bythe. sale of the grapes alone, aud
vino was made besides. A farmer
in Virginia, also states that last winter,
he sold tho apples from four acre
orchard for nearly ,oloyen hundred
dollars. And just imagine the feast-
lug among his children. These are
facts, and if every sound argument is,

1t IS too carly,for tho wisest to ven-.
turc to indicatethe policy tho whites
Of the ten Southern States should pur-
sue, III Wow Of tho probability of
Grant's election. Whatcvor they
have done in tho present canvass
however, bo it ever remembered, thoy
have donc by invitation of their De-
mocratic friends at the North. The |
responsibility for tho course of tho
canvass, upon both sides, and for its
result, belongs xclusively to tho
North. AS y correspondent from
New York portincntly writes in the
Charleston Mercury, "tho Northern
Democrats considered it policy to
bring Southern mon prominently for
ward ut the Convention in New York;
hoping, doubtless, thus to gain, by an
appeal to tho Union feeling anu mag
nanimityi Of tho Northern people.
But v'hon tho Radicals gavc 50 artful
turn to tho canvass, as apparently to
rouse tho vindictivc passions and tho
foers and apprchonsions of the North
crn people, many, North and South,
fancied that blunder had bccn COM
mittcd. But Let it be at the door of
those who committed it.. 1t was no
blunder Of tho South. In everything
the South deferred to tho judgement
of the North.
We ourselves now doubt whether
there has been any blundor, however,
at all. Tho argument, if it can bo
called ono, of tho Radical party isa
perfect satire upon tho intelligence Of
the Northern masses, if II really con-
vincod thom and commanded thoir
votes. Wo can scurccly believe it.
SO wo attribute tho success Of tho
Radicals to tho power of patronage,
and to the popularity of tho military
hero, whose rctiooncc has inspired
even Southern men with hopes that
there will bo wisdom in his policy,
and ability to rocomm end his policy,
whatever 1t may be, to tho favor of
his party and Of the ohtiro country.
