You have lost your commerce. You ask the

speculating upon every industry and upon every
laboring occupation That is the reason, and there
is no other. l told you the other day that the
condition in which the crops of the South were
placed, consequent on high prices was the most
dangerous and disastrous position that it was pos

here give stimulus to the operations in and the
production of cotton in Egypt, in India and in Bra.

gainsay it, that in five years you will be camoring

THE WALLACE.sIMPsON CASE.

The Committee on Elections have reported Mr..
Simpson Ineligible for the reason that be is unable
to take the oath of Office prescribed by the act Of
July 2, 1862. This inability, say the Committee,
is alleged in writing by Mr. Wallace, and admitted
by Mr.. Simpson in his written answer to the no,
tice of contest in this case This, of course, un-
seats Mr.. Simpson.
With regard to the contestant, a majority of the
committee report in favor of giving Mr.. Wallace
the seat, and minority report adversely to it.
Congress has not yet adopted either report.

THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Owing to the circumstance that no effort was
made to get c meeting together there was nothing
done in the matter of organizing an agricultural
society on sales-day. York will not meet in con-
venton with the other counties of the State on the
|28th.
But other counties are not so Indifferent to this
important interest. We see that such societies
are forming all over the State, and the Columbia
agricultural convention is as much certainty as
anything future can be. We hear expressions Of
regret on all sides, at the failure to organize So
ciety last Monday; but whose fault is it?

JHE ALL COTTON AMI NO COhN uANlA-
We copy the following truthful article from the
1--WE regret to see from our exchanges that in
some parts of the State the planters have planted
little or no corn, and have devoted Their time, en-
ergies and means TO The pfodssieasof abis cotton
CROP We can hardly imagine an act OF greater
imprudence. With 50 recent an experience ofthe
evil results of such policy, it was to be hoped
that the good sense of our s9riculturists would
have saved them from another venture like that Of
1861. In that year they ALSO planted for q big
cotton crop, and they made it. They got from nine
to sixteen cents per pound for it It cost Iaore
than that amount to plant cultivate aud gather it.
They made but little corn, depending On being able
to buy it at the West They had no money
wherewith TO buy it; had to borrow at usurious
rates of interest and then paid from $500 to
per bushel for scanty supply Of corn To- feed their
some excuse for this folly then. The people were
impoverished, and, tempted BY the prevailing high
price of cotton, hoped to get out Of debt and have
money to go along with by the sale Of their cot
ton Now they have no such an excuse. They
have money and experience, and ought to know
that no people that do not raise their Own food
ever have been, or ever can be, independent.
These all cotton and 90 corn, planters have risked
everything on the. chance Of fine seasons and the
continuance of the present price Of cotton. Were
they to bet all they are worth at faro or roulette
their hazard could not be greater. Even men,
whose proud boast it used be that they never
bought bushel of corn or pound Of meat in
their lives, have been infected with the mania, and
now insist that they are doing wisely in planting
every foot of their open hand in cotton. Il is still
time to flee from the wrath to come" Set to work
this very day and put half Of what you call your
cotton land 10 corn, and at the end Of the pear you
will have reason to bless your stars that you aban
doned the all cotton folly that you were about to
commit F" --..,' '...s.ry. -. .rf...

One had been his right arm in the 9ecution of

Rawlins, however, brought him to the mark, by
intimating that he would resign at once, unless the
