Hill to the cotton planters of | ! Georgia, is not applicahleto the people of I lorry as cotton -planters. In truth we plant too little cotton here; hut the j advice is to turpentine makers in I lor ! ry what it was intended to ho to cotI ton planters tii Georgia, and wo hope I turpentine makers will Apply it to their own individua! cases, .lust so long as the turpentine maker has to g<> in debt lor his meat, bread, clothing ami many other things, all to be paid for out of his turpentine to come, just so long will he grow poorer every year; but il lie makes his own provisions and supplies, then what turpentine he makes will be clear cash; hut j so long as turpentine has to pay for 1 all he only handles his creditor's inonney, and not his own: The True Policy of the Southern Planter. A people who will not see their danger, are not apt to provide for their safety; and people who prefer flattery to the truth will not be apt to see their danger. They will pass on like the lool and be punished. We have certainly been heavily punished, and the days of our sorrow, I tear, are not yet numbered. I was raised on a farm. Agriculture has been a passion with me. I have followed it to my | cost* 1 know more about it than you ) I imagine, and 1 have paid more lor my information than, perhaps, any other man in t he St ate. All wealth comes primarily train the ground. This is God's decree. Science, skill and art may improve, refine and add to t ho value of that which is produced from the earth, hut the producer is the origin ?the primary source?ol all the wealth ol this world, and no man could live, much j less grow rich, hut for the tanner. Ami yil, as a class, l he agricultural population is the poorest in all the j couiiliies. Wealth-?money?aecumula'is in the hands ot ail trades, more ; largely than in those ot the producer, is iv not strange that those who produce all wealth should 1 >e the poorest ol all j enple? Why is it ih.at tanners work hard and keep poor, and nearly all trades that handle their products grow rich? How does it happen so? Jiecause the m< reliant and the manutac- | turcr take direct and personal interest 1 in legislation, ami make it their business to stud}', to understand, and to shape ami direct the legislation of the country. The farmer looks at l'rovi; deuce for rain to produce his crops. j and vrhcn the rain comes lie is content; j while the trader looks to Congress lor | laws lo make his profits, and, iti some I for in or other, he is sure to get the j laws and reap the profits. I I wish i had time to show you how all the commercial, manufacturing and speculating woild have formed i their schemes, shaped the laws, and I united in harmonious shrewdness to I gather the profits of cotton planting in the South. I tell you to-day 1 care not what seasons may come, what large crops you may raise; still, under existing i conditions, you will ever grow poorer j i who produce cotton, and they will ever grow richer who handle alter it is j produced. I Under the present policy, the next generation of Southern people will become the poorest, the most powerless, and the most contemptible of earth's inhabitants; while under a wise policy, the next generation of Southern people may become the richest, the most powerful and the most rosnnet<><l ..t peoples. Which destiny will wo choose? J>ut, yon ask, how can this belter destiny be secured? I will tell you. First?Make cotton your surplus crop! In these' live words lay the Samson locks ot your tuiure power. Make your own fertilizers by resting, cropping, grassing and nyinuring your lands. Thus you become independent of the guano merchants, liaise your own provisions. Thus you be come independodnt of the provision merchants. Your cheapest and safest line of transportation runs Iroin your own fields and hog-pens to your own * barns and meat bouses! With no debts for your supplies, you will need no accommodation credits at two per cent, per month. Thus you become independent of brokers, cotton factors and lien merchants. You can then sell your cotton at your own time, to ! your own chosen buyers, and will get your own money. None ot these { things can a cotton planter do who i plants on credit, and bonows money to buy 1 lis provisions. | But, you say, the Western States : raise provisions so much cheaner. we i can make more money hy rawing cotton and buying from tliem. '1 Ins is the teaching ol figures, and a greater lie was never taught. Now, I aflirm it is cheaper for you to raise your own provisions, than to have them brought from the West, and given to you at the nearest depot free ol'cost and charges! How is this? In the lirst place, il' we raise live mil Z> "1 > \7" Tt l. 'c ; s _?i\ 11 Indopci WAYIH)K(), S. C., TU lions of bales of cotton, we will get ! no mole money lor tliem than we j woukl get for one half that number. Then out ol the same amount reali/.etl, j . ... / a i - i! : I i! you pay tor raising uie live minion* just double cost ot production! Hal! the labor and supplies employed in raising supplies without reducing the | value ot the cotton crop one dollar. , liut luill this labor would raise more i I than yeu needed for supplies. You j could employ much more of it, also, | i in enriching your lands, and improv- I j ing your property in many ways. 1 , Then you would come to the end o( the year with your cribs lull of corn, your smokediouses full of meat, your family mil of smiles, yourselves lull , of independence, and your pockets full of money tor investments. And ; how would you invest it? In cotton factories on t ho waterfalls which (hull has sent all through your country to run spindles. This would make you independent of Old and New England both. Then, also, you would make your own implements ot husbandry, which would make you independent of Pennsylvania foundries, and Massachusetts workshops. In a word, every imurovcmcnt would he built u|> in your own country, ami all tin? profit h of those improvements would go ;nt.o your own pockets. (!o on as you are now going, inak- j ing cotton your chief crop, and slavery is the doom ot' your children and j your children's children forever! A j people who depend on other people for I food and clothing, are and must be. j slaves. Make cotton your surplus crop, and j your wealth, independence and power will multiply as surely as the years increases. Direct Taxes in the. Southern States. An act of the United States Congress passed in June, l.SG'J, providng for the collection of direct taxes in the Southern States operated so that, large quantaties of land wore sold lorn l idle in parts ot the South where the Federal forces had a foothold. Much hardship was thus inflicted upon lie; ow ners ollhe lauds, many of ihrni being in the Confederate lines at the time, and unable to communicate with their families. Congress passed an act on .June 8, 187'J, allowing all such persons two years to redeem their lands upon payment ot tlu; direct taxes assessed against them and the eosis of the sale, and also t he costs ot any improvements which may have been made by the purchasers. This time wiil now i?v. |>ii*o in a few davts, :i11?! a largo number of thu I;i:i?1 owners have found it impossible 10 raise the means to redeem their lands. The Senate Committee 011 Trivale l^aiul Claims have therefore recommended that the lime given them be extended two years more. Congress ought to extend the time, as the parties have been iml??rt umile, Tim direct tax on a people claiming allegiance to another Government is j hard. In a spirit of magnanimity the taxes might ho remitted altogether President hranf Solves tin? (Jreat Arkansas Conundrum, Washington, L>. C\, May 15.

There is not a State in the Cnion in which that would not produce a conflict and probable bloodshed.

In accordance with this opinion the I President to-day issued the following i'UOCJ.AM\noN. Whereas, certain turbulent and disorderly persons pretending that Klislia Baxter, the present executive of Arkansas, was not elected, have combined together with force and arms to resist his authority as such executive and the other authorities of said State; and, whereas, the said Elisha Baxter has been declared duly elected by the General Assembly of the said State, as provided in the constitution thereof, and has for a long period been exercising the. functions of said oflieo, into which he was inducted according to the constitution and laws j ol said State, and ought, hy its citizens, to 1)0 considered as the* lawlul executive thereof; and whereas, it is i provided in the ihe Constitution ol'tho j United States ..hat t.ho United States J shall protect every State in the Union, on application of the 1 legislature or of the executive, and when the Legislature cannot he convened, against domestic violence; and whereas, the said Klisha Haxter, under section 4 of i article 4 of the Constitution of the U nited States and the laws passed in pursuance thereof, has therefore made application to rnc to protect the said State and the citizens thereof against domestic violence; and, whereas, the General Assembly of the State convened in extra session at the capitol thereof on the 11th instant, pursuant MAY 20, ik; idoiit ?TouriiaJ.

It is unnecessary to more than brielly recapitulate I that portion of her history relating to I her legal tribulations, as in their urn. i I - vious singes in the Courts they have j already been given in lull in the Herald. She married lirst Mr. Joseph < 1 irard, and ! Iroin hlin obtained her lirs>t divoreo | and alimony ot $0 7'-\o0 a year. She next married Mr. Thomas C. Shop! hard, and from him obtained her second divorce; but as Mr. >Shephavd was I niue.li better oU* in th is world's goods than her iornier husband, the Court [ compelled him to pay as alimony $.'{,000 a year. This second decree of divorce was obtained in September, | j 1871. Mr. JShephard paid tlie alimony promptly until alter her marrying General .Anderson, when, considering that she was very well provided for ! pecuniarily, he invoked the Court to I release hi in from further payment.. Having gone through all the preliminary staires nossible in the lower! CJ 1 ; Courts, the cane finally reached scalerI day the Supreme Court, general tcnu, Judges Davis, Drady and Daniels being on the bench, en an appeal from Judge Donohue's decision refusing any moditicatiou ol the decree as to alimony. j In arguing the case on behalf of Mr. Sheplnwd it was first submitted to the Gourt whether there is anything in the law relative to divorces, or in i the reason of the law, to compel one j man to support another man's wife. | It was also argued that provisions ol | a final decree in respect to alimony I are always within the power of the [ Court to change, as the circumstances ol the parties may change, that a pecuniary or other marital alteration of circumstances may render proper a change in alimony; that the provisions 1 of the decree that the alimony be paid ! to plaintiff during her natural lite is 1 subject to the condition, unless otherI wise ordered by the Gourt, that the ! principle of the law requiring a bus* | hand to provide for the support of his wile, who has obtained a divorce for his fault, is based upon the moral-legal duty of the husband to support his wife; that when the moral and legal duty of a husband to support 1 his divorced wife ceases the alimony should cease; that when sue remarries he ceases to owe her any duly as husband, including tho duty of support; that the plaintiff lias her option either to retain her alimony or to obtain a new husband; thUske cannot have both; that she cannot enjoy the society and protection of the third husband at the expense ol the pocket W"B. I . NO. 21. of the aceon !; that whether to lay this $3,000 a year on the alter of her thinl lover is for her to decide. It was also stated that they were informed that she was not so deeply in love as not to take advice on the efVc't ot a new hushand on the alimony question. Ihinng the argument numerous authorities were cited and commented upon, including the Forest divorce suit. Ill onnosit.inil- iho li"i.1i?i?r nrnt lO II ?
