TIE COST OF GROWING co rToN.

A correspondent of Manchester (England)
| paper, undeI date Of January 18th. prints the
| following extract from o letter received by the
writer from Southerner, "who has spent all
his life in the cotton States, and thoroughly
knows the South and Its peoples"
lam informed bya planter running three
large plantations that he can raise cotton at
Sc. per pound-a low estimate, think. as 1t Is
generally estimated at l2c. (sixpence;) but,
with abundance Of fixed labor, believe lt can
he. .raised under lQc.. This refers to Alabama
and Georgia, in this neishborhood. In Missis-
Yield more than the producer can pick II
should not cost above Sc. II cotton can be
raised at &c., as is here stated, we may depend
upon 1t that planters, having netted fully zoe.
this year, will put more ground under cotton
than they did last. and ] think twenty per
cent. not at all an unlikely increase. The only
circumstance that will deter them from greatly
increasing their production Is the knowledge
that if they grow 5000, 900 bales they will net
less money for. 1t than If they grew 5000, 600
bales, and their succeeding years chance of
good price would also be injured.
This next season the new era OF cotton
planting is about to be more fully developed,
and proof given that free labor (whether
white or black be employedj Is followed by
much better results than under the old system
OF forced labor. Not only Is free labor more
productive from the employees working better,
but it is cheaper Formerly, o good field hand
cost at least $1,000, and was generally held on
borrowed capital, on which ten per cent. In
terest was paid. This gives sl2O per annum.
Keen may be taken at another $40 per month,
or sl2O; clothing and medicine, $40; and
allowance for Insurance and waste of
strength, say = per cent, or $50, las
If the negro died under the OLD: sys-
tenn he was total loss.) This gives
us $3.50, or f7o per annum. Now the negro
owns himself; his wages calculated fully are
SIS per month; keep, say $40; In all, 5000, eco
per annum. The conclusion seems reason
able, therefore, that as planters In former
years made large fortunes with middling Or
leans ruling at 6d.to Sd. In Liverpool, and
with the wastetul system OF borrowing, they
can now, when they have capital Of their own
TO work on, afford to sell at these rates, and IND
cotton pay them handsomely. Cotton plant
ing Is so profitable that the tide Of immigfa.
tion into the more southerly cotton States Will
steadily continue increasing.

The Catholic Mirror states that during the last

letter from the Pope expressing his great JOY
and satisfaction at he'resolutions of sympathy
passed by the immense meetins'held In Balti-
more, November 10th, the day of the Arch
bishops return to the city from the Vatican
Council The following is the letter:
To our Venerable Brother, Martin John, Arch.
bishop or Baltimore:
Venerable brother, health and the apostolic
benedicLion.. We congratulate you, venerable
brother, for this, that your return was greeted
with those indications OF Joy which. Walle @ tney
testified that.your flock with their whole heart
sympathized with the faith OF their pastor, were
at the same time redolent Of the most open de-
votion To the Church and to this See of Peter
We congratulate likewise the entire body ofthe
Baltimore Catholics, who, not satisfied with 80
brilliant an expression of their hia pety, wish.
ed to avail themselves ofthis occasion OF their
meeting together that they might with one
voice and In more solemn manner condemn
and reprobate the attempts by which we have
been despoied Of our temporal principality and
subjected to hostile power. And certainly all
praise Is due to the weight of the reasons al
legged, with which they, after tracing the char
acter Of the outrage, Its ad)uncts, purpose and
arts, and the injuryit inflicted on the whole
Catholic family, held it up to the e1ecration Of
! all honest men, and showed themselves ready
to oppose the wicked attempt with all their
strength, and especially to obtain from God.
by persevering and earnest prayer, o speedy
abatement Of so great crime, with the TIL.
umph of religion and Of justice now trampled
under foot
And while we are consoled and liiled up by
these most religious sentiments, We rejoice
that your archiepiscopal city and your people.
by so splendid an indication OF their faith,
have deserved 80 very we'll of the Christian
commonwealth, which devotion certainly will
not fail to receive its merited recompense.
With a most grateful heart, we auynr to you
and to them this most abundant reward, and
We ask you, venerable brother that you would
please to signify to all these our sentiments
and good wishes in their behalf. Meantime,
as an earnest of the Divine favor, and as q
pledge of our abounding good will, we loving
