To this oversupply of coarse is due tho low prices, aud, as every one knows, the plauter is carrying on an uaprotit ible busine-s. With liiru ti.o question is how cm wore money be made out of cotton. Many believe that the only way is to plant less and re luce the crop, South Carolina's agricultural k citty first ptoposed tint a congress of this ki id bo hel I to diseu-s the reduction of the 1.timber of ncres (luntcl. Gcorga's agricultural sociey took up the qiiesti<n and C'iocided and suggested that such a convention should be called tVr At'ama. Col. 1). 1' Uuucatt, of .South Carolina, was elected chairman of the congress and Col. Jam-s Buret), of Uicatnoud, wai chosen secretary. Col.

II would iu?t do to cut down 5U jur cent, the first year. ho said, t>ut the reduction should be um le itr.'dually avid cxten led over a series of years. Mr. Brown, of A'abuna, dated that in the h'nek belt of his State it would be a hard it alter to get co-operation ou any plan to plant less. Mr. Smith of Butts county, mado a short speech odvocatiug the sub-treasury pbtu. Cot. Livingston mails fiio spmjli of liio day. It was full of good poni!*, and, although not meeting the views of all ill certain smtcnieuis, was in the main a most inieicsling iud practical talk o.i p eking anil ginuiug and pre| aring fir uiarkit. "In my cirly days cotton was handled b Iter than it is n >w. These days tlie rule seems io b-*, nick in a hurry, gin in a hurry and seil in a hurry. "What do you think, lie slid, of 2o,01)0 bales of eolton from simples in New Orleans 11 one sons n? Why the linnd-otne cotton sell >nge building in New Orleans was bu.lt from simples." Col niel Livings on demanded a new system of classification. Instead of liaving from twe've to seventeen classes, four woull be . nough. lie declared, and let them le known *.s fiv.?t, scc ?nd, third and fourth. 1 he aver. go pla iter cannot tell anything abj.it coti 11 4>'h en it gies under molding. Aui fier suggest on of Col.

To employ disinterested experts in every county wolill cost only a cm a I p i rl ot that sum. Mr. tJrcgg. of .Sou li Carolina, introduced the following resolutions : Whereas, T'lie Southern Stites of A'ncr.ci have reduced the price of short staple coftou below a remunerative prnluct'on ; tlierel'?re be it rccotnmcuded by the cotnuii tee of cotton growers; 1. That we hereby pie lge ourselves not 10 plant nunc than twelve acres to ilie plow. 2. That we will not rent more land for planting in c ton than twelve no es to the alow, run by tenants. 15. That we wi 1 use onr individual effoit-i to eat'tree the above rcso'ut oils in o iv respective JSt ites. After a short discussion on these resduiiotts, Ctd. Lyons ottered the following, which was adopted: Whereas, This cotton acreage convention, assembled in the city of Atlauia, Octocer 29, 1 $01, realizes the necessity of taking some action in regard to a reduction of the cotton crop in the several cotton-growing States; therefore, be it lt?.. r.-ji - Hi salved.

".'..'1 tluit each ol" lite ( " toil Statry cal1 acotfventdou in ibo near future and adopt resolutions looking to a general reduction of the acreage, sons to keep the number of bales in sight of 7,000,000, and that es soon as the several States have tu'<<-n such action thai their secretaries report it to the secretary of this convcution, that it ni ?y have general circulation in the cotton States as to the :i lopt-on of these resolutions. While the increase in mills is going on every year, the acreage is increasing at a more vapid ra'c. t'ol. Duncan believes that the Atnericu! cotton growers can regulate the price if they wi I units and act in concert. Ainerict's cotton growers are the most intelligent in the wrrltl, and theirc uton is far superior to the Kgyptian and Indian crops, which are short in fibre, | oor in ipialiiy and badly prepared for market. "fiio South 11:11st have mo o mdls and spin inure of her own citton.

There ssems to be a set purpose among those who assume to lead and instruct them, to throw around the farmers' life and prospects clouds of doubt and appeliension for the future, creating a morbid distrust in their own nb lity to do anything to extricate themselves from the inevitable ruin they are made to believe is staring them in the face, llenco they overlook porh?ps the greatest cause of their troubles, for they are taught' to charge it to everybody but themselves, and to look to ether sources than their ofrfP industry and in'ciligent management of their own farms for relief.

The same comparative condition is seen iu townships, towns, counties knd States. In all communities, large and smiUl, there are a lew individual, from mnpy legitimate causes?mostly from tbeir o|rn business tact and sagacity?whose aggregate possessions are ns much or more than thoie of nil the r neighbors combined; aud tluk does not argue that there is anything wrongs or that tlieir neighbors are any poorer than they would be if they were not so rich.

The fact is, lite political literature which is now flooding nnd exciting the South is humiliating and debasing. It comes, in most cases, fmm lucre political hucksters, who, instead of appealing to the manhood and proctical common sense of the farmers, to try tlie manly remedy of making their Inrms self-supporting, ns a euro for tlio evils that nfHict them, tlicy (ruckle to their prejudices and fill their minds wiih envy nnd ma'ice rgninst their neighbors; feeding thein all the lime wiih the negro's j rmntsc to his poor, starving horse in the dead of winter.?"wait, horse, 'till the grass grows, then y >11 shall ha*e some."
