COTTON ACREAGE.

cient guarantee:
MEMPHIS, Tenn. February IS. 1852.
Messrs. Hobart, Smith d Co., New York
Seeing that much is being said BY New
York journals and private circulars predict
year, and believing such publications are in
tended to depress prices of cotton in the in
terest OF spectators, and that such represen-
tations are unjust because untrue, we desire
to submit to whom it may concern the fol-
lowing statements as the real facts in the
case, which are JeInonstrable by proof viz:
That for the expansion of any business
reasonable degree of prosperity is necessary.
That great adversely and not prosf Gritty ia the
portion of nearly every cotton planter 10 this
district, almost without except<on. Their
credit is crippled by large arrears standing
against them from last year; and in very
many instances the horses and mules,
without which crops cannot be made, have
been surrendered to meet pressing liabili-
ties. Il is notable fact that, while this city
has heretofore been a great mart for the sae
OF mules imported from Kentucky, Missouri
and other stock-raisipg countries, at present
there are no importatioDs because there is
no demand and no demand because Of the
utter inability OF the planters to buy, even
moderately, to replenish for the usual lssses
from disease or casualty. But the reverse is
true; mules are being shipped from stndry
places in this vicinity back TO Kentucky and
Missouri by merchants who have taker them
for debts and are obliged to sell for want of
corn. The disaster to the cotton planter
arising from the failure OF the corn crop
only secondary to the cotton shortage, and
there has been general resort 10 wheat, oats
and the grasses, which unquestionably cover
a considerable area this year, which was
planted in cotton last year. These statements
are true of the large scope of country which
finds a market in this city, and, BENG true,
are conclusive evidence against an increased
acreage in cotton this year; in fac they
strongly point to the reverse. Further
more, we believe the same state of affairs
leans, Mobile, Galveston and st. Louis. In
addition to the above considerations, ttten-
ton is called TO the overflow OF the Mssis-
sippi river, which now threatens the valley
from Cairo to the gull. Already large
amount of farm land is submerged, and
general and disastrous overflow is imminent,
the probabilities being that in the most
hopeful aspect Of the case planting will be
much retarded if not materially curtsiled
Instead OF larger planting, therefor, we
think our Northern friends would be nearer
the mark if they should exercise their in
genaity in calculating the probable decrease
in the acreage of this years crop.

New YORK, February 1.-THE ship Glen
morg arrived day, and reports that she
fell in with a boat containing eleven of the
crew and two of the passengers OF the steamer

ment: The Bahama left St. Johns, Porto

cane, which threw the steamer on her beam
ends. 1t was then concluded TO abandon the
ship, and two boats were lowered. The
captains boat contained seventeen per-
sons. 1t was swamped shortly after
leaving the ship. Two or three men
were seen to swim back to the vessel,
but it was impossible to tell if they sue
ceeded in getting on board. Three of the
crew refused to leave the ship, preferring
20 take the chances by remaining on board
as the boats were heavily loaded. Our boat
contained Robert Williams, first officer;
Robert Ross, second officer; II. J. Fear and
myself; the second and third engineers;
chief steward; a cook; waiter; mess

THE polygamy bill presented to the House
in Congress was confessed by those who
offered it 10 be below what is wanted, and
they spoke apologetically about preparing
more thorough measures. Their modesty is
unnecessary. The evil to be suppressed is a
violent one, and time has given the evil
doers strength; the wanted measure must
therefore be stronger than the evil it is to
subdue. The wind is tempered to the shorn
lamb, not to the devouring wolf.
