cultivation, md especially careful preparation
for The market. Nov, while while there are
other planters, who aye ntclligently guided in
these requisites. the production of both classes
| meet in, the same market, and should command
a discrimination as to quality and price, which,
it is complained, they do not get. On the con.
trary, the conclusion is that dirty cotton moat
profitable, because it brings more money per
acre than that which is cold by the careful
planter. 5I = = 7sz= !, y,
This, seems to be an evil which time and Cir
cumstances must cure; and it is therefore an in.
iudicious conclusion, that It would be better to
adopt the example OF. the planter who. sells
dirty cotton. 1t cannot be that the merchant
OF manufacturer will leas fail to discriminate
between the good and the bad, when they ure
marked by such distinctive qualities as clean
and dirty. This, then, may be looked upon as
| temporary evil. And we may hope that its
cure will necessarily work q corresponding
change in the careless class of fplanters to which
we have alluded; for if they have to pay for
hauling dirt, for which they get no price, and
which decreases the value and price of their
cotton, their losses will teach them to separate
the former from the latter. tits assuming too
muchit to suppose that both the merchant and
the manufacturer viii continue insensible to the
advantages which arise from choice between
good and bad. The evil complained of may
last for a time; but detection and change are
certain. ,,7 W.. tts,l =.
We canpot doubt for moment that the
spirit of Improvement in agriculture acuatcs
tho planters of the South as well as the farmers
of the North and that the fact that better seed
will produce better products, is greatly appre-
ciated. and acted upon everywhere. But if the
merchant and manufacturer fail to appreciate
the value of a, good articleofs produce MS COM
pared with an inferior one, twill go very far
to discourage the effort to excel.
All the information which Ihave been en-
abled to gather on this subject leads to the con-
clsion that there s no deterioration in the cot.
ton staple, but that eoits to improve its ciilti-
vatlen and quality are, in some degree, thwarted
by want of discrimination in The market pri-
ces between the qualities offered for sale. i

Deterioration of American Cotton
BIZ Me Commissioner of Agriculture.


The production, sale, and cogsumption of
cotton are subjects Of so much interest," that
everything pertaining thereto should be well
understood. Planters as well as merchants and
manufacturers, may profit by lessons elected by
comparison of the experiences and observa-
tions of those engaged in its cultivation, mark
etipg and manufacture. The correspondence Of
this Department. with intelligent planters of the
South made the impression that the quality Of
cotton offered in our markets had greatly dcte-
rioratcd within the last twelve years, and thus
Induced mo to prepare the following circular,
requesting cotton-growing of Yfe South and
manufacturers of the East to furnish the results
of their observations on the suhject
Questions of some importance to the country
have arisen, which it is desirable should be
solved by the opinions of manufacturers as well
as planters l. Has the staple of American
cotton dctcriorated in quality within the last
twelve years. Ifso, ~ to what cause is it at
tributable2 -
It has been suggested that deterioration is
traceabe to certain phases of the cotton market,
which induce planters to study quantity rather
than quality; that dealers do not udicioisly dis
criminate between qualities in fixing the price.
To aid this Department in the investigation
ofthe subject for the benefit OF manufacturers
and planters, will be obliged to yom for your
opinions predicatcd npon your experience and
observation of the subject.

FREDERICK WATTS,
Commissioner Of Agriculture
This circular was directed TO Fifty manuiac-
turers of the Eastern States, and to as many
planters of the Southern States; and from very
many of both classes answers were received,
satisfactorily showing that while the quality OF
cotton now brought 10 market is quite inferior
in condition to what was produced twelve years
ago, tEat condition is attributable to causes
which do not necessarily enter into the produc-
or,,salc Of The commodity.
II seems to he very clear that the present
production is, in largo measure, in the hands
and under the direction of q less intelligent
class Of planters, who do not appreciate the i'm

The Proposed Constitution.


In this issue we present the proposed
Constitution Of the State, which, if
adopted, takes the place of that now
in force. 1t is not a political emma
ton; having been framed by good
men of both parties, with view to
meet the wants of the whole people.
We wish every one Of Our readers to
carefully peruse the document, and
from his own opinion on it, unaided
and unbiased by any suggestions Or
hints of ours. 1t is notorious fact,
that under the workings Of the old
constitution our Legislature has had
powers, which in their abuse, have
made that body almost totally corrupt.
Lobbyists have passed whatever bills
their interests, or those Of their en-
ployers suggested, while bills of gen.
eral utility were held in the back
ground Members have been bought
and sold by brokers in the persons of
lobbyists. We do not pretend to say
that even the majority of our legisla-
tors were so worked upon, but between
those who honestly differed on any
subject, there was generally balance
Of power in the hands of those who
bought legislation with money or its
equivalent. This then is sought to be
remedied. Several other points, too
numerous for mention in short arti-
Gle, cry aloud for new constitution
by which we are to be governed. For
these reasons was the constitutional
conyention called. We present the
result of their labors. The question
to be decided, is: Does this docu-
ment meet the wants of the whole peo-
pie of this Commonwealth? Is it so
famed as to keep honest men to the
front, and foil yillainy in high and
in low places? Ifyour judgement says
yes, vote the ticket "For the New
Constitution" If not, vote the ticket
Against the New Constitution" The
election is to be held on the third
Tuesday of December, at the usual
places of holding general elections
Let the full vote of this county be
polled at that time.

the subsequent execution of upward
Of one hundred men, part of whom
we're Americans, the papers through
out the length and breadth Of the
land are clamoring for war with Spain.
The vessel was captured in neutral
waters. 1t is said that there were mu-
nitions.of war and recruits for the Gu
ban army on board the Virginius, but
if this were so, it would not justify the
wholesale butehery INDUCED in by the
Spaniards. Such barbarisim was here
tofore supposed 20 belong entirely to
the dark ages, and the revolving hid
eousness of this slaughter Of helpless
captives is such as to draw down upon
the perpetrators and the powers they
serve, the. just condemnation of all
civilized nations. The Government
is busily engaged in collecting from
all available sources further informa-
tiop regarding the capture Of the Vir-
ginius and the particulars of the re-
voting executions which followed.
When Congress meets, which will be
in a short time, the question will un-
doubtedly be taken up at once, and
settled either for peace or war. Mean
while our navy is being prepared for
any emergency that may arise, and
should there be declaration Of war,
an army of 100000 can be raised in
two weeks time. The whole country
will await future developments with
anxiety.
