toes, wheat and hogs, is it not
at least very probable that the
price of that staple would adj
vance nearly or quite double :
and they would realize very
nearly as much money for their
half crop of cotton as they now
do for their whole, and still
have an abundance of the nee
essaries of life always on hand.
1t is an established rule that
the demand for an article regu-
lates its price. If the demand
is increased by diminishing the
supply, of course the price will
advance in like proportion.--
As the case stands at present
there is superabundance of
cotton and no demand for it,
and it is a fact, to patent for
contradiction and to ominous
of approaching dilapidation,
and financial ruin, to beregard-
ed with indifference, that the
cotton fields of the South are
but whitening to mock the
planter with the excess of his
folly. Let the cotton planters
learn wisdom from the disasters
fthisyear.-[ Franklin (Tenn.) J

at you. So does a doctor, but
the goat has four legs. My
goat butted Deacon Tillinghast
in a bad place, and a little calf
wouldn't do so. A boy with
ont a father is an orphan, and
if he haint got no mother he is
two orphans. The goat don't
give quite so much milk as a
COW, but more than an OK. /
saw a OK at a fair one day with
a card tied to his left ear, and
we went in on a family ticket.
Mother picks geese in thesum-
mer, and the goat eats grass,
and jumps on a box. Some
| folks don't like goats, but as

a useful animal, but don't smell
as sweet as nice bears oil foI

May the tear of sensibility
never cease to flow.
May the road of preferment
be found by none bat those
who deserve it.
May the liberal hand find
free access to the purse of plen-
ty.
May the impulse of generos

power of necessity.
May we always forget when
we forgive an injury.
May the feeling heart POS

Want of Courage.

Sidney Smith in his work on
moral philosophy, speaks in
in this wise of what men lose
for the want of a little brass,
as it is termed:
GA great deal of talent is
lost to the world for the want
of a little courage. Every day
sends to their graves a number
of obscure men, who have only
remained in obscurity because
their timidity has prevented
them from making a first effort;
and who, if they only can be
Induced to begin, would in all
probability have gone great
lengths in the career of fame.
The fact is, that in order to do
anything in the world worth
doing, we must not stand shiv-
ering on the bank, and think
ing Of the cold and danger, but
jump i'll and scramble through
as best we can. It will not do
to be perpetually calculating
risks, and adjusting nice chan
ces, it did all very we'll before
the flood, when a man, could
consulta a friend upon an in
tended publication for one hun
dred and fifty years, and then
| live to see its success for six OF
seven centuries afterwards; but
at present a man waits, and
doubts, and heSitates, and con-
suits his brother, and his uncle,
and his first cousin, and his
particular friends, till one day
he finds that he is sixty-five
years OF age, that he has lost
SO much good time in consult
ing his first cousins, and partic.
ular friends, that he has nc
more time left to follow their
advice. There is so little time
for overSqueamishness at pres
ent, the opportunity slips away
the very period of life at whicl
a man chooses to venture,
ever, is so confined, that it i
no bad rule to preach up tn,
necessity, in such instances, 0
! a little violence done to th
) feelings, and of efforts made il
defiance of strict and sobe
I calculation

So We Go.


We see remarkable. very
re emarkable things, every day +;
but we have twice, within a
few days past, seen the most
remarkable little occurrence of
modern times and it was this:
the bringing into Raymond
from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio,
&C., via Vicksburg, of boxes of
cabbages! These cabbages,
large, firm and fine, of course,
retail here at from 40 to so
cents per head, each, costing
in production, from d to 4
cents. They are paid for, in
the production of cotton, to
grow which, costs our people
about 10 cents per pound, and
which is bought by the produ-
GERS of these cabbages at from
IA to Is cents. Now, we have,
right here in Kinds county, as
good a cabbage climate and
soil, as can be found in the
world, and yet our people,
rather than engage in so small
a business, raise cotton exclu-
siVely, Notwithstanding but
about from q fourth to a halt
bale can be raised to the acre,
worth from $15 to S30O where
as cabbage, at 800 heads to the
acre, "a small yield,) can be
grown with less labor than the
acre of cotton would require,
and would realize 800 times 40
cents-that is to say, $500! 1t
is unreasonable to suppose that
our people can occupy any 9th
er than a dependent and help
less position--it is unreasonable
to suppose that they can ever
be otherwise situated than they
are at present-while their pro-
duction sells at below cost in
the markets of the world, while
they pay SO immensely beyond
cost for every article that they
consume or that their fancy o.

The present depression in
the cotton market is beginning
to make our Southern people
open their eyes. They can
now see that it is undoubtedly
to their interests to curtail the
production of that staple and
diversity their agricultural OPP
erations. Or, in other words,
to raise a full crop of corn, po-
tatoes and hogs, and a halfcrop
of cotton. Then if the cotton
crop fails or the price disas-
trausly low, as at present, they
will have plenty to eat. Il
