The fullowing interesting correspondence we copy from the Neit Orleans Courier. DONALDSOnvIL., April 28, 1643. Mr Dsana Sam:-Whn the interests of the south are in danger, one naturailly turn's one's eyes to you who have so long proved yourself to fie their vigilant, able and devoted guardian. It seems to me that the impending crisis is fraught with as much ad serious mischiefs, ai, could easily be brought to boar on the prosperity of any people. A fanatical war waged against our two great staples. A ith a vin dictive energy on both bides of ite ocean, that las rarely been eqeaulled. should ad monish us to husband oar resource, at ill events to avoid the danger of division. The cotton and the sugar planter fiat a common property to defend against the machinations of an artful, sagaeoti anod bold enemy. Under the guise of philai thropy. he seeks to ds-prive us of that kind of labor, which he contributed iore thai: any other to plant on our soil, sind which long habit, the character of our climate and productions have retdered neceesiary tons. - But they have too mnuch art -to at tempt by v1olence and openly, what his cuiniing and knowledge has taught him tray, if he can deceive us, more effectually be accomI plished by indirectios. If our productions can be rendered uuprofitablo. hi object. lIe sees, will be accomplished Should the slave holler be also brought into the disrepute, hsis hole pturpoe ill be fully a~tained. A disreptabule and untprotltable cnlhure be knows will necessarily be abain dloned. To this end have the British Sugaer Is lands been destroyed. and sihat prodttet sought to hbe transferred to thte ur're genial climate of India. ilensc, alto, the great ellrirs so draw their suppliesa of cottu fron the same regiott. ht wousldt seem to me questionable whbether a plenstiful aend cheap supply of sugar cat he drawn from thenace, aod still tmosre ss as to cuottn. The China war has givens, is ise true, to the cot toni esperiment an apparent success ; hut this, probably, does not belong to it. A rapid increase in the pruoduction of sugatr in China and eisewbere,' has presented the eflects of the destrutions of the Britishs Islands, from being a.' yet fully lef. But 'this wili soon be expersenced, by the sup pression of the slave trade, ehfectually checking any further extension. evens if is do not diminish the prodluct. The sugar interest may. and probablyt will be pros perons if not sacrificed by its own~s govern ment in the puending adjustment of the Tarif.~ &Sgar gaowers ere large consum'ters of most of the articles of nanaufacture and prodnetion wbich the duty will fall, ande if they do nest obatain a correspondhing duty on their product when iumported, it is teir settleud conviction thsat this bransch of Southern agriculture mtust be abaniduned. You know that this culture was not forced', into existence by a protective TarifF That! it does not owe its being to any forced or fase system, but was cherished by a duty thsat was pturely a revenue one. Sugar has been a very fruitful source of revenue to the governrnemt, alhbough the duty nepver bas been a very heavy or onerou., one. Having grown up by theside of the wants of the Treasury, it would seem hard,- that this interest should be absandoned to its fiats, whilst others, that sprang out of the false system of an avowedly protective Tarif, should continue to receive ample protection. I confess I never was an adl vocate, I never can be. of a protective Tarif, as such; but have never been able to yield such incidental protection to the great interests of the country, as coulId fairly and honestly be given. Bunt as ours is an agricultural and Southern interest, unaided by active agents, and having nothing to etnlist the sympathies of the Tariff side of the house, 're naust he sacri ficed, unless those who are in principle and habit anti-Tariff, will see shat equal justice be done in. Stong us your feelings and principles have always been against the protective pole,"i do not thtink that you have ever cootzaded that fair incidental proction was esther inexpsedient oir adverse to any sound principte. But even if you were, you cimuld not, I think, fail to perceive .that when such favors were being dis pensed, the South would be entitled to a BMy great fear it,, that the friends of free ter- ,..m ese in it n too favoeaklo onnne unity to ai a fatal blow at the profita- ' alegess of slave labor, rel ing on your and I ,ur friends general hostility !o protection, I Vadering you ootuiowilling pecetators of I he move. Should they succeed in putting Iown the culture of suga, the great force sow so employed, must necessarily be sinployed in cultivating cotton; promising esults on the price of that article, much nore immediate as well as permanent than he culture in ladia. We make on an inerage 100,000 lhhb of sugar; it is fair 0 say. that not more than from three to four hogsheads per hantl are made. A hi-h rives you the effective force so employed. at say about 30.000. This force employed on the rich lands of the Mississippi. would produce frorn 150 to 200.000 bales. As ihe Increase of all the negroes, not only those employed it cotton, but in all the slave holdipg States, would then exclu sively be thrown on that eraip. you will see how rapidly the culture would be ex - tended, as well as hlow certainly the pro duction would overtake thoctreme point of consumption. To me it seems equally certain, thnt if' cotton. by the succese in India. lie render ed unproductive, the force that would he drawn frot it. to the culture or cane. would boon involve it its the same ruin. I have no doubt that the entire consuipt ion of sugar, not mote then half being now made. could be foruish-d. but not profita bly, till the suppression of the slave trade lie fully ta-t, except uder the protection of a very heavy tarill. But, even, if the fulr consumption were sutpplied, this in the event of cotton being unprofitable. would absorb but a very smuall part of the slave labor. The- i'ievit.hale consequences would he over production, and the consequetit depreciazitn in tbc value of that species of labor. To ate it seems certnin. that whether cotton or surar be fr-At rendered valuelesu. the matte evil itmst ooin iollow the other. If,.ucht he the fact, nlthing proei..ing that VIefct, % ill come po verfully reconimended in the Ablitiiists. Success in cubiva tis; cotton in india. (or the destructio-n of 'he culture of sugar cane here, would give; them all they would desire. In their wild zeal to accminpli.h ilteir objeet. it is tiot to be expected. that they1 will pause to counider the injustice, of thro-ving this branch of inlustry open to the destructive comebtition of the forei::n products. whilst they furnish ihe-nelet-s Aith atimjle protection. No onte kiows better than yssu. how blind fat-sti--ion is to all such crnsiderations.

On both sides of tlhe Ocean. it hal beie so often asserted that ibe South is too weak to defend herself ; and that, it jhout con tradiction, tnat it may, and prubably % ill produce measures that might not other wise be thought of-is it Inoi tiune that iI should be contradicted ?

To illut trait' the extent of this branch of aur trade we have made a small calculation which will he found to be entirely correct. During the last week in blay there was sent from Buffalo via the canal, sixty-one thousand and nitety-seven barrels'of Dour anwl sixty-eight thousand six hundred and fifty-six busie;s of wheat. Allowing each bushel of the latter to make forxy-fve pounds of flour, and each barrel of the former to contain one hundred and ninety six pounds,. the total of pounds wasffleen millions sixty-four thousand five hundred and thirty-lawa! During the same period th--re %sas sent freom this city along with this immense quantity of flour thirteen iaundred and forty right thousand tao hun dred and thirteen pounds of butter and lard. There was also sent over two and a luartcr millions of pounds of pearlash and other ashes. Now, if the good people ou the road -*ill furnish proper "wetting" and the place to bake it in, we will put two pounds of good flaur in each foot of cake, and lard.butter and salawratus enough to match, and treat them with a contino ons Short Cake fourteen hundred tawenty six thousand miles and one hundred and eighty rods long. One end of this cake might be placed in the capital of Missouri, and the other would rect only reach to Boston, but it would "stiek out" over the Atlantic some two hundred miles. Of this all the peo pile of the United States might eat otdd be tilled without a miracle, besides giving the sh of the great deep a "glorius nib ble." As an addenda to the above, it will be seen that within the last twenty-four hours tl'ere have arrived iu port, over 25,000 !, irrels of ITour, and 33,000 bushels of wheat and other articles in proportion.

U~i We are informed by a gentleman, wh~ose plaitinrg interest is in the neighborhood of Camnbridge, that the insecrt called the Chinch Bug. had mtade its appearance on his planta ion. It was first dircovered on a few volunteer stalks of' cortn, oii the border of a wheat field, that tead been reaped oanly a few days, thes stub tale of a hich hada become dry mod afforded no ieatrishmenit for them. U'pon examainationa liey were found to be on the wheat, os, and ~orn, but not in great numabers, and had es yet Junec but little dnusage. The Crops-Ont our late visit to Chiarlesrton, re were nauch gr..tified at the appearance of heo crop) throngha the section ofeotantry which ce passed. The Wheat crop was being gath ited, anid froma whantwe could learn from s~sueo >fthe olest farmers., is the largest crop of this rain gatirere~d t'or a nuuaber of years. The Jat crop, whaich we feared would have been haert, hea turned out remarkably well. The orun has a hreathy apnaear.inee, and, barriing ccidemts. we shall. nao doubt, have good grain rop'..
