PLANTING AND SUPPLYING.

The infant commission house of Messrs.
Pinchback and Antoine, which these
gentlemen, with an enterprise at once
as commendable as hazardous, started
in this city year and half ago, pro-
misses to become a complete success, in
so far rs the demonstration of the fact
Of our ability ''to run the machine" is
concerned. All the Vaccinations of spec
dy failure and BANKRUPTCY, of breach Of
trust, of inability to conduct a cotton
commission business, have been trium-
phantly proved to be false, and to-day,
these enterprizing young merchants de-
servedly occupy a recognized position
among the houses on Carondelet street
Their business at first confined to q few
barrels of pecans, and peanuts, with &C.
casionally few bales of cotton, this
year, finds ample employment for the
staff, and exhibits signs of prosperity in
the FIXTURE which nothing but their own
lack of devotion to business, and push
can possibly defeat.
But there is another side to this pic
ture. They have been surrounded by
peculiar embarrassments. Many Of the
small farmers, who they undertook to aid,
have not responded to the obligations Of
their part of the contract. For the most
part unaccustomed to self-reiance, self
denial, and independence of thong hit and
action, they have fallen victims to the
cupidity and chicanery Of the country
merchant, and in addition to supplies from
the city have received supplies, which
might have been dispensed with, and that
at exorbitant prices, and the result is that
when their crops are reaped they are pounc
ed on, on the spot, diverted from its proper
destination, involving tronble and expense
which consume the greater portion, if not
the whole of the "nett proceeds" and tn
unfortunate planter wakes up as from
dream to find himself involved in debt
and difficulty, and with only the gloomy
prospect of going over the same hopeless
task, from which he proposed to release
himself.
This is no fancy picture. We part
from life, and we can illustrate our
drawing by life.
This condition of things cannot last.
The city papers have all treated this SUBJ
ject recently, and have all united in re-
coEamending greater fidelity to obliga-
tons on the part of cultivators, or be
prepared for the withdrawal of the sup
port which merchants have hitherto been
granting. We perfectly coincide with the
view that the present system is a vicious
one; but under the enfeeblod and help
less condition of the majority of the
present planters, we have been unable to
ascertain how they could have cultivated
crops without money or supplies, which
is the same then. The fault lay in the
abuse of credit, and the improvidence of
cultivators. And until they are brought
either by prudent outstanding of re-
sources, or are taught by the withdrawal
of support, we do not well see how the
future will be any better than the past.
And to one of these they ere fast tend
ing, and must soon come
Of course there are many honorable
exceptions, and they serve to prove the
tenableness Of our position.
