many grievances to redress, that the difficulty
of selection is extreme, and every
remission gives almost as niucli pain as
pleasure, by the disappointment it inflicts
on the advocates of other remissions. In
the United States the difficulty seems not
to chose which of a number of pressing
cases is the most urgent, hut to find any
pressing cases at all. Wo congratulate
our transatlantic brethren on the exuberance
of their resources, and sincerely
hope that the difficulty of finding a tax to
remit may he the only one which their
Chancellor of tho Exchequer will ever
have to encounter.?London Times.

Association, at Columbia, Soutii Carolina.
A largo number of tho most intelligent
planters and scientific men of the South
may expected. A meeting of such
varied interest as will be then presented
has never before occurred in the Southern
States, and every assurance may bo given
that it will prove eminently successful in
tho grand objects which form the basis
of its organization. The elevation, protection
and improvement of the rural affairs
of the Southern States is certainly
.. aiseworthy, and should receive the
sanction and encorngemcnt of all our
citizens. We, therefore, most cordially
invite and desire the participation of the
wTole South. The Secretary of the
Association, Dr. Cloud, of Alabama,
makes the following ad interim announcement:
' The Executive Council of the Association
have made nnangements with gentlemen
of high distinction in the various
departments of Agricultural science and
practice to address the Association during
its assemblage. We have also assurances
that the meeting will be in every wav
highly acceptable to the people of the
Palmetto State, and also to the citizens
of Columbia.

A letter writer thinks that the President
in his message, will proclaim non intervention
in European affairs; in favor of a
reduction of the taritl; that he will enlarge
upon the Cuha question, endorsing
the views of Everett; recommend, some
reform and retrenchment in the ocean
mail steamship service: some steam additions
to the Navy; various things f;r tho
benefit of our frontier Indians and the
frontier settlers, including a territorial government
for Nebraska, (south of Missouri.)
which will be very apt to bring up again
the slavery question in a practical shape;
thai he will take a cautious position on
the Pacific railroad; and a liberal policy
of reciprocities between the United States
iiid Canada and the adjoining colonic.',
in the settlement of the fishery question.

young democrat, from Mr. Clay's district

OUR COURT H0U8E.
A correspondent in this paper signing himself"
District Pride," brings to the notice of
our citizens the inconvenient and comfortless
condition of our Court House.
The time was. when our Court House was
inferior to none in the State ; but since that !
time appropriations have been made by the
Legislature for the improvement of many,
whilst old buildings have been torn down I
and new ones erected; that now,ours is far I
behind. We direct particular attention to '
this communication, and would more cspec- I
ially call to it the attention of our members j
to the Legislature.
Take.
Some of our upper country editors are |
complaining, that newly married couples I
should be so lost to all feelings of gratitude |
as to neglect to send the " printer's fee " for
publishing the hymonial notice. For our
j part, we arc always willing to publish the
I notice, cake or no cake, but it is unfortunate I
I ly our luck sometimes to be blamed for not
J publishing such notices, when the troth
J is, they never have been sent to us : we are
expected to hunt up the notice, and publish
too, w ithout pay. This we are not going
to do.

THE COTTON CROP.
From what we can learn, the prospect for
! an average yield of cotton in (his District is
| worse than we had supposed. The yield
| will not ho more than one half.
We learned the other day that a farmer
who made soinc fifty bales last year, will
not make one bale this year. Tho ease is
not so bad with all, but to our certain know!
ledge a great number will not realize more j
; than one third yield as they did last year, 1
J whilst the niosi fortunate cannot exceed one |
! half. We cannot but believe that cotton
will be up in the Spring, yet have nl)
ways thought that the farmer had no business
to interfere with speculations, and the
most advisable plan for him, would be to
aull so soon as his crop was ready for market.
Taking tho prices of one year with another,
this is the safest and surest plan.

abundance within these clns ic walls. As j
an inducement to the public to continue
tlicir patronage, tho Directors also announce
that they have made arrangements to heat j
the building by means of stoves. Tliis I)i- Pc"d?
rectorial chimera will not be able very long T'de

among the labors of Hercules, or some othor
hero whose powers transcended those of 'e''
the vulgar. This labor, however, the Directors
of the Crystal Palace have voluntarily 'rrt"M
assumed. Their receipts have been so good *"rc
