like this, when we feel rs if We could

Then gloomy hours when the fire will
not burn Oh our l'carths, and all with

Prospects Of Cotton Planting.

Notwithstanding the protcStations Of
n portion Of The press in the cotton States
against increasing the production Of cot.
ton, on the plea that n small crop will
bring more money than a large one, there
is reason to believe that the area Of land
to he devoted to the flcccy staple the Ell.
suing season will be materially enlarged,
under the stimulus afforded by the pres.
ent hiSh prices and the exceptional
chcapncsS Of provisions. High prices
rnrcly fail to increase production, Of
winch the hog crop this year and last af.
f'rds notable example, aud therefore,
those prasnatic writers who have been
telling US that the South will be richer
with two an,! half or three millions of
bales than with double .he quantity, may
as well make up their minds that their
theories will not nc actc upon this year.
The idea Of limiting production for tho
purpose Of creating wealth is rather n
rcmai kahle one since no SophiS!ical fan
cics can do away with the stubborn GlclS
which involve ii +, ,ducti?n nC calitAI pro.

dnction Of tho great staple than it could
be inScnsiblc to the reduction of the
worlds aggregate supply Of gold and

maintaining, in the latter case, thnt
tho loss Of quantity would be com
pcnSatcd by the en- hance emcnt of

to contend that the enforced falling of in
cotton production, by Reason Of dimin.
iSncd capital and labor, would bc more
thnn made up in the higher nominal
price brought by smaller crops. The
commercial and industrial interests of
the world are all bound up together rs
one grea, partnership, aud it is mathc-
matically impossible that what the whole
positively loses can count as positive
gain for particular part. The material
interests Of the South, then, will be best
snbservcd by bringing up the produc
ton of cotton to the normal figure, and
Keeping i! in progressive increase from
year to year, corresponding with the
growth Of the worlds wants in respect
