From, the Banner of the South * Plant?, en" Journal, . - On Time." The worst jeal ure that pervades the whole agriculture of the South now, and since the war. is the uni versal disposition, o? planters to go in debt for everything required to run a farm,, instead., of trying faith fully luther to produce them at home or do without. The extent to which che practice is carried involves really the 'mortgaging of 'the whole crop, *nd reduces farming to a mere and strict speculation. Our average eea " sons include a long drouth in Sum mer which renders the provision crops very precarious pn all uplands ; the pric? to be "obtained for cotton is widely varying every, year, and never | within the control of. the planter. Therefore' where all the necessary supplies of the farm have to be bought, and'bought, fro, on credit, with the unavoidable addition of a large per centage on price to cover' interest and risk, th? result of the years crop, is always extremely doubt ful, whether it will pay the expenses incurred or not. This is speculation, pure and simple, and one in which all the chances are against* the plan ter. He assumes all the risk, fur nishes the land, the teams, and the labor ; and long, arduous and unre mitting labor it is, from January till Deeember. . lie takes the chances of vain and drouth, and storm and wind, of mst, smut', blight, mildew, bud worm, cut worm, boll worm, army worm, crow?, moles and thieves. Whatever is lost by all these causes is his loss, and his only, unless all his assets are, not enough to cover 'the debts he has contracted. The money lender and commission merchant hold their lien on his crops of corn, fodder, cotton, peas and hay; and their mortgage on all the mules and oxen and wagons, plows and hoes and axes. And if the crop fails and all these are inadequate to pay the advances, they have still equal rights with other creditors, and may proceed by common law to absorb all the property in lands, stock, and other pelf, of which the unfortunate specu lative farmer may be possessed. He can take refuge only in insolvency and the homestead. This is the ac tual chance assumed by every planter who enters on the year's work by in curring a debt for provisions and fer tilizer .. equal to a moiety of what his farm ito-cap?ble of producing, with tho Iabur and means available ; and this perhaps is the chance actually assumed by more than half the plant ers in Georgia ?nd Carolina to-day. Imtnediutely upon the close of the war, when our farros were rici down tb the very p-'int of abandonment .ind the country was utterly devoid of lueaui of recuperation, borrowing was resorted to as a temporary measure, only to g?t a start of food and stock, until a crop could be matured. For such a purpose, and at such a time it was justifiable to anticipate to a small extent. But the practice has not been dropped : it has been continued from year to year and to a greater extent every year ; and the delusion . is ever before us ;-one big crop. of cotton at a high price will set us even. Food crops are neglected, raisir.2 stock, and saving manure and all the wise economies of the farm, small though many of them be, are utterly .slighted, and every effort is concen trated on cotfjbB. . The -only trouble about the cotton is we never get what we want for it: and too often it is the case that all $he .produce of the farm wou>d 'not pay for the ad vances m:.dii in the year. The planter who borrows, assumes to pay back the money with interest, and make a profit for himself beside, out ot the year's crop. That is he&xy undertaking in any business. There are not many things to be dune on borrowed money that wilt pay in terest on the capital and another liv ing profit beside. Certainly, of all ventures in the world, the planter . assumes more risks than almost' any o?ier. " On time" are such common words in every mouth for five years past, teat the meaning of them is forgot ten. Hekwho lends money, or ad . vanees-or'accepts,* risks'losing his means only in case the borrower be comes wholly bankrupt. 'His liens cover crops auristocks, and with them together he can be repaid to a large extent OT wholly, ?though nothing is left; of "the y ear's labor for tin? plant er, ?o buy "on time" is to ?pendin advance what it is only hoped will be made on the crop,-hut when spent, to be repaid'- whether made or not. Can any business, prosper or be .profitable, that involves ail!the,rls*ks '. of tberyeaf ra the fara; TO?'dW toe iarge intereet'or commission charged .0? money loaned? There are not ;manr business men to be found who would ?assume such risks, and hope to .?make prc&s out of them. ! We assert jthatthe' worst feature ?tkat pervades .tfc* planting interests of the country is-tao universal dispo sition on the.part , oijph^n+ers to spend their crops before they are made. 3n be willing to do this, e.ven ! thousand c?nces in his favor, .wq-j^J he an imprudence. How much worse ' than imprudence is it then, when every means and all sources are re sorted tor.on or from which. t<j.t^hor row m?ney, or buy something odjijwie. There is no longer any abhorrence of j . debt. It is now sought after, rind nbt Avoided. No one is content even ta ) do'well on his own mea.T.s, if he can Pagine a chance to do better by^bor rowing. j to . .We now see advertised not o iffy wtiaho '"on tiiije,'' bat bacdp,. coin, ?iules an^hoiSes, af? even^oes on ?me "to p?ere'ig.

Even Life Insurance agents have been known to issue insurance " on time the crops. . . There can be no thrift, nor an/ ac cumulation of: means, no hetterin/g one's condition. from year to year while this practice pr?v?i s, lsoth ing can ever be saved,'while one can spSnd it be'fore it is made,. Credit must be forsaken'by planters; or abol ished by dealers, "so that it shal? no longer be resorted to" as a means of living Every man should be com pelled tolive on Hs own produce, auc? everyone to build up his own prosperiiy .before we can hope .to see our farmers on a safe footing, and ?rrowing yearly in means and resour ces, "asjfaithful. tillers'of'the sqil in every land and age have done. In speaking of the.vital importance Lof public educfttionva^ a means of perpetuating 'good government,- the Baltimore Sun forcibly and trnthfully remarks : " Nations have declined when they have arrived at a certain^ degree of wealth, but it was because intelligence wa? lost in the effeteness induced by the idleness of wealth. It- is'true that, at the same time, the sejenc?s and the arts flourished, but that was conspicuous .because their cultivation was confined to a few. Intelligence never was the cause . of national de cline, but ignorance has always been, for the obviout fact that ignorance is finally controlled by tyranny. It ought to be t-he duty of every citizen tb go direct'.y to the root of the evil .and. eradicate the ignorance' that scatters j ts poison through the whole .body politic. Ignorance of the f?;ter results either in ignorance or corfup' tion of the law-maker, and depravity and misrule must follow. Unfortu nately, questions at jssue between par ties for the last decade^have, heen more of prejudice, .than of great principles, and even the intelligence of the coun try has not always,, p/ late years ex?r cised its .capacity in determining the proper policy. If this prejudice has perverted to ?'-'larg? extent the thoughtful'?nd i?teMrg?nt, how much I Inore so has it controlled' the igno rant, especially when that ignorance happened to bc more general with the very class about whom this prejudice has in one and another way hart its origin.' The result has ' been official ignorance, general corruption and a waste of the hard earnings of the people.. Thus it ?3?!h?t ignorance is public pe.i;.' ' Carpet Baggers. " Theodore Ti.lton in a late number of his paper say? : - . The worst fire-eaters; the Irardest slav?-owners, the most cruel slave drivers; and the politicians who made thc most trouble iii the South before the war, were northern men-.' The most scurrilous paper? printed in the South like the Newbern Times, are edited by Northern adventurers. Con sidering these facts, ih connection wifh the fact that- the carpet b?g governments have robbe i the South of about two hundred million dollars, it is wonderful that Southerners look somewhat coldly upon an increase of Northern immigration. Where is the Northern community that would welcome the population of Blackwell's Island, and put a premium upon the immigrant^ of Sing Sing? Irv the broth yourself b?fore complaining that the Southerners stomach cfoe.s not take kindly to toad^onp. . A JOKE OX A TAILOR.-In Boston, manv vears ago; there lived fas there do now. we venturo to say,) two young fellow*, nuber waggish in their ways, hnxl who were in the ' habit* of patronizing rather extensively a tailor by "the hame "Ol' Smith. Well-, on* day,-'into iris >ht>p thesn-two young bloods strollc-1. Says one of thom : u Smith, we've been malting a bot. Now, we warft you to make each of us-a snit of-clothes ; wait Hil the bet is decided, and tlie oiie that loses will pay 1 he whole." " Certainly, gentle men ; I shall be most happy to serve you," says Smith, and forthwith their measures were -taken, and in due time the clothes were sent home. -A month or two passed by, and yet our friend, the tailor, saw nothing of his customers. One day, however, he met them, and thinking it almost time the bet wad decided, he made up to them and asked how their cloth ing fitted. "Ohl'' excellently, says one : " by the by, Smith, our bet isn't decided yet." " Ah !" says Smith, "what is*it?" .""Why, I bet that when Bunker Hill Monument falls it will full toward thc South ! B'll, here, took me up, and "When the bet is de cided we'll call arid pay^you that lit tle bill." Smiths face stretched to double its usual length, but he soon recovered his wonted good humor.
