So ;-he resigned herself to death, and re| noiuiced all treatment. Shut up alone in her apartment, she counted her last days and passed thoin in prayer.

In July, she sailed for the I mtcd Mates, wncrc sue now rosiUCtf. lowards the close of November, she gave birth to u great hoy, which sho nurses herself, and experiences no difficulty whatever in so doing. She is- cured, perfectly cured, and believes herself curcd, as the public jirosccutor would say. I give you the full name of this young woman saved by the Clack Doctor; for in l'aris live hundred persons know all about ' Ashbell and his fiancee.

' lo have mow unusually short and imidc<|iiuto I stocks oil hand?-so short that consiliums in the latter city arc sending orders to a distance for supplies. From the wheat producing regions of the middle States complaints ! are already made of v'??> unpromising i.ud pro- I carious state of the growing crops; the win- j ter has been too changeable for it, and should ! j a severe cold snap occur i:i March, much of | i :< ...:n i.? ........i.? 1 ? >- < j n u in iiiuuni in iwu mi w.nu <i iitki I tiivtIter injured. In addition ti> these ta agitable reports of tin- .shortness of the stock and prospects of the next crop, there are collateral influences that will probably considerably a licet the market for grain of all kinds. I ndoubtedly a very heavy emigration will go forward early in the Spring to the ?z??!<I re' giousoi' Kansas, Arizona ami Sonora ; ii I would probably be no exaggeration to estimate j the total number of emigrants at one. hundred ' thousand. To meet the wants of these, hea- i vy supplies of grain must be sent forward, j thus .stimulating the tiv.de and reducing the supply in farmer's hands. Kxtonsive arrange- ' mciits have already been made to send for- i ward weekly supply trains from the Kansas ; and Missouri tow 1 , to carry out heavy stocks of provisions in advance of orders from the gold regions. So many laborers will go ' from the middle and Western States, that the | trrain erons of those. rcfinns inns! ln> nit vlmrf i by it. Then we have here at homo tho no- j tivity ami prosperity of the cut Ion i ntcre.st to I stimulate planters to raise as large a cotton | crop n.s possible this year; many of them have ! i bought or hired negroes at very high prices, | I and will tvly solely upon the cotton crop to I i bring them money wherewith to meet their ' I ongegoments. I Ail the facts conspire to assure us that j heavy grain crops will be required ; and as j , this is the time ??f tlie year when our South- j ern planters must determine and apportion ' ! their crops, we call their attention to the pros- I i noi-ts lii-loVo tlii'lii. 'I liev pjiii vul <ln tmii-li f.1 ' influence the prices <>f grain of all kinds by J planting plenty of corn. There wouhl seem i to be no danger whatever they can lose by ap- | propriating more ground to this crop and less to cotton, even if breads!nils should be cheap- , cr than present appearances indicate. Who ! has ever known corn to be a "drug" in the j South for many years past ? l,a.-t year's | j crop was an unusually heavy one and yet corn | now eomniMi's <iO a 70 cuiis per bushel in j i this market?a price mure remunerative to I I the producer than 10 or 12 ccnts per pound for cotton. I mil' ?sft!l( Ili-IMI rr.?ll 1 t - 1 a fiord to j ?ny 8 cents per pound fyr pork, mid 10 cents tor bacon, even out of the proceeds of a cotton crop sold at 10 or 12 cents per pound. 'l'li<' prospect is that they will have to pay the prices as I>?11tr as they raise so little pork for themselves. If, therefore, a superabundance of corn for ordinary plantation uses should not command n fair uric.' in inr.r. kef, they can easily convert it into pork and thereby escape a heavy annual drain upon their purses. They may boast of the power and dominion of " King t'otton," but his revenues are every year sesiously curtailed and his income sadly drawn upon hy two of the j most stupid animals made for his tise ; and I those animals support long ears and bristles, j We are, then, convinced that planters can make a heavy corn crop this year very renin* nerativo and we invite their attention to the facts and deductions given above.
