SENSIBLE SUGGESTION TO PLANTERS.
The excellent commercial writer of the
New Orleans Picayune, says:

All things considered, it would he well
for cotton planters TO note the effect OF
peace on prices. They seem generally to
attribute the decline In prices this season TO
the war. when IL Is due principally TO the
excessive supply. In making their arrange
ments for next seasons planting. let them
not hope TO receive any very material bene-
fit from a cessation of hostilities. The
worlds supply of cotton Is in excess Of the
demand, and planters must reduce the form
er TO put prices up TO paying figures.
Assuming this opinion in reference to
the cotton supply to be correct, it neces-
sarily follows that the only hope Of escap-
ing the calamities consequent upon low
prices, viii be to plant largely of provi-
sion crops.

Morgan the Coming Man.
From the Equal Rights.


Morgan has never been friend of ours +;
but he is prosecuted, and We know some
thing, from experience, of what persecu-
ton is. We never felt like striking a man
when down, in our life, always feel like TAX
ing up for one that is relentlessly abused.
At the time Col. Morgan married, we said
what we now repeat that
WAS EUBoDYs BUSINESS.
And we also said what we now re-
peat. that we did not approve of mixed
marriages. Because we believe God,
in making races of different colors, intended
them to remain 20. Not because we think
one race inferior to another, for we do not /;
but for the reason above given.
Marriage is intended to promote the hap
piness OF the parties entering into it; and
the only secure basis for that, is love, which
sancCifies the relation. We are satisfied
from van ious com munications we have seen
from Col. Morgan, that
