I feel that in your _i* n to-day you have been Divinely C directed to the only single avenue of escape 'from the accumulated ev.!! which surround us.

We have accepted the issues of the war and could we accept he rascalities and wholesale robbery practiced by the ring, and so well main tained by the Union-Herald, there is no loubt but all would be well, and the black lie that slavery is still desired would not have to be uttered so vehe mently. The Sante Old Song. If they were determined to do what they say, we wt;uld be rejoiced, for we firmly believe the country would soon be in a more p-osperous condition. But they do not. We allude to cot tou farmers and the stereotype cry which can be heard at this sea.son o year when the shoe begins to piuch, that "if I live till next planting time I will prut in more corn, make that the first and chief consideration, and after that give all the attention which can be spared to cottton." It is a lamnenta. ble facet. that there is reason for them to say so, for the all-cotton planter, when he comes to square up his zic ounts and strike a balance, finds that Corn anid hanud hire have swallowed up the biggest part, if not all of the pro. eeds of the cotton crop-in sober prose, he has come out at the little end of the horn, and as the Dutchman wuld say, '-mit a tight squeeze " le sees the folly then, and sings thre oleful plaint until the next time, when he again g.ets cotton oin the brain, and the same progranmne is one over with. Thus it has been gig on year after year. and each year finding hrimi further behind in the world. Is this not. true ? Now how ng is it to laust this is the question. We trust not for long. Wec ha;ve heard the expression quite lartely, "I ae been thinkitng this way for years, ad have been putting .it off, but flow -I-n:-us-deerine." How any have come to thus conclusion, md how mnany wvill stick to it. We advise the farmer to ma:ke a start in his diret-tion at once, for every year's ielay will only increase the emtbar assme] nt.

A jalt and tqual adiminiistration of the laws'of the land is the desire of every honest man, and when that time coms there will be peace and harmony and coinnion prospeity.
