HOW TO PRODUCE COTTON AT MINIMUM C0ST,
The profit to the planter arising from tho culture
of cotton, is exactly tho difference between what Il
costs per pound to produce IT, und what Is realized
per pound from Its sale In the markets. The vt pcr
pound of crop to the planters Is governed entirely
by the quantity ho realizes per nero from tile land
cultivated because tho expenditure for labor Ia nearly
or quite the same, whether tho product be q ba,e
acre. Or oalo qm Mree acrs but the cost of tho pro
duct to the planter Is materially different. ''|
If one planter gets balo from three acres and esti
mates the cost OF his cotton to be twelve cents pcr
pound, md another planter gets tlroe bales from
three acres, without additional labor, then It Is clear
That the cost per pound to the latter should not OK
ceed four cents per pound ''+'
If In order to get a bale per aero on land that
would not otherwise produce moro than third OF n
bale, the uso Of q Commercial fertilizer be necessary
then to get at the net profit arising from its use the
cost of tho fertilizer must he deducted from the tn
creased product.

Bloant Comm, RInn,n.

The loyal folks of Blount county.
Tennessee, have offset the "loval" folks
of African Zion. While the latter com.
fort his Imperial Highness with assn
RANGES of satisfaction and high conf.
dence, the former vibrate in the opno.
site direction. They held . meeting at
Marysville, in the said Blounty county.
Tennessee, few days ago to deliberate
upon the weighty matters involved in
the LONGSTREET case. What a stencil
the appointment of that distinguished
traitor waited to the Blount county
nostril, may be inferred from the follow
ing preamble and resolution adopted at
the meeting:
WHEREAS, Our new President u. S.
GRANT, by gsllautry in the cause of our
common country, gained our confidence
as a patriot; and, whereas, since his in
he mas nominated the rebel
General LoNGsTRBET to a fat office,
therefore,
Resolred, That we, the loyal people of
Blount county, do condemn the action
of General GRANT, and feel that he is
doing the widows and orphans of legal
TennesseaHs, made so by this same Gen
eral LoNGSTREET, an injustice.

he of Good Cheer.

A gang of darkey pulpit Founders,
from the African Zion Conference, called
upon the President on Saturday and re-
lieved his mind greatly by the grateful
confession that they were perfectly sat
istied with his administration so far.
No doubt GRANT has been in dire dis.
tress, lest through some of the weak
nesses of his unfortunate race, he mad
deserved the frowns of the dingy celes-
tials who roost upon the summit of this
Ethiopian Zion. Now, however, he
rests easy. The "collard brethren" have
spoken. The Congo branch of the es.
tablishmeDt bestows its benediction.
With such SUPPORT, no other aid is
needed.
"Hsw firm foundation, ye saints OF the Lord,
England" says Barbadiau loyalist
in one of Marryatt's novels-"England
fear muffin, while Barbados tand firm"

The notorious NED BUNTLINE lately
went to San Francisco as temperance
lecturer. His brilliant success, and
what followed, are thus described: Af.
ter delivering the most thrilling teeto-
tai lectures there, and inducing some
three thousand ounces to sign the

pearing upon the streets on a fearful
bender, both at midday and midnight,
dressed in red -white-and- blue costume
more gorgeous than ever worn by any
of the heroes of his own romances, with

Across the Country.

Last week we took run across the
country from Lake Erie to the Ohio
river, through the eastern counties of
Cuyahoga, Summit, Portage, Stark, Co.
lumbiana and Jefferson. The winter
wheat is looking uncommonly even and
healthy, though it is short yet on ac-
count of the late cold weather; but we
saw not bit of yellows or winter kill.
Grass has not made a start and only the
Buckeye buds have swelled to show
color. The plows are well a.going in
the south and fence building is brisk.
Cattle and sheep look well for the time
of year, and farmers are taking hold of
their work as if they meant to do some

a U.rr Valuable Rook.

We always take pleasure IN recon-
uendinp a book which has ali the
oualities that meet our idea of what a
good hook should be-; in which the sub
iect is one of interest and Importance;
the style attractive and pleasing, and
the illustrations and details lucid and
complete. We find such a book in the
"People's Edition of Conybeare and
Howson's Life and Epistles of Saint
Paul" just republished in this country
by the National Publishing Company,
of Cincinnati.
This work has all the attractiveness
of fiction, in the exciting events OF its
narratives, with the certainty that they
are the truthful records of well authen-
ticated facts; embracing graphic and
eloquent delineations of the early life,
education, conversion, teachings, Ia
bors, travels, sufferings, perils, persecu-
tions and missionary career of the great
Apostle. 1t stands alone and unap-
preachable in its speciality; all that
could be desired, in the way of history,
statement, comment, criticism and illus
tration, relating to the vital subject Of
which it treats. The great learning and
power, and beauty of style, do not con-
stitute it's highest praise. This is found
in its moral and religious spirit, IN its
pre-eminent Christian candor and i'm
partiality, in its solemn earnestness for
historic truth, its manly and unvaccil-
lating faith in the doctrines proclaimed
by the fearless subject of its biography,
all combining to make 1T one OF the
grandest monuments of sanctlhed intel
lect and learning ever reared to the
honor of Sacred Truth.
Never have we seen such an array OF
names, giving their unqualified COM
mendations of book, as we find in the
publishers circular; names of men whose
self-respect and personal character and
position, make them exceedingly chary
how they endorse any thing that does
not come up to high standard of ex-
cellence, or that does not meet with
their hearty approval.
This reprint will be more highly priz.
ed than any other, as it is the only COM
plete edition published in this country
with translated notes.
1t has in addition al able and exceed
ingly valuable dissertation by DR.. Leon
ard Bacon, the eminent Professor of
Theology in Yale College, preparing the
reader for the graphic account of the
life and writings of the great Apostle.
Its pictorial illustrations, its type, pa
per, and binding are in keeping with the
rare merits of the book.
The city is now being canvassed for
this work by lady, who, we trust, will !
meet with liberal patronage.
