Tha attention ofSeuthern Farmer* U now turned toward ih? question of ailing and Imping their crop for the present year, and open their deoia on the future welfare of this section of tbo country may I e aaid to largely depend. The size of the cotton crop this year will unquestionably determine whether or not neat fall will bring |reaper! ty or financial disaster to the South. The farmer* will of course ueu good judg ment in sizing their erupt, hut w?~* ^. iv'juat at una critical period can but he appreciated by them. There words from Mr. IV. C. Sand?r?, the well known and well posted cotton man, fhould eottnd as a warning to the planters of the fleeoy staple: ' Two-thirds of a crop this year maans ten cants a pound, a full crop fire cent*. Twothirds of last year's acreage in cotton this rear, and the nmsim-.e one-third nl? tiled :n somo othor profitable crops, means proserifv nnil plenty to tbe planter and the ' ?t?? iueot of all tha in'ereiits of the Houth. .1 fit 1 crop for 1802 means ruin and disaster The cottoa receipts this year up to the present time," said Mr. Nxoders to the Journal, "are about 200,000 bales more than were received in the rnme time last year. All data indicates a crop equal to that of last year, makes two aery large crops com ing together, and producing much more cott-n than the world's consumption demandi. 'the consequence is a depression in prices to tij ti 6J cents for tlie best cotton at small interior markets, a continuation of which moans bankruptcy to farmers and depres.- ! n to every industry throughout the cotton States." "Another such crop," continued Mr. Saudi i s, "as the I wo last, menus f> cents a pound or less for cotton, utid ruin for ibe producers j of Hi j great rta7de. The only reiue ly is a / reduced production, and the only sensible and remunerative way to produce less is to /flu. t less. If every planter would reduce iiis cotton tircn one-third for the next crop. \vi h fiirly g"o'l sen*ons, the American crop voit'd probably amount to 0.000,000 bales.

Inn on the contrary you wi 1 ever be to mv memory dear. Many var ous and shifting scenes have eccurre I to me since I last saw you. Sickness, di-ense. and death, have swept ov?r our township, and many friends on-i lov. d ones have pas?ed over tlie rivrr. For fifty-five years my father's f un'ly of seven, lived without a death, hut recently two have entered the v orld of spirits within less than three weeks of each other?one a be'oved sister, Mr', il M. Ponner. the other a noble hearted brother, J ties W. Fester. But. then, death to the christian has no sting. Mis soul mount upward on triumphant wing. The death rate for the last forty or fifty days, has far exceeded anything ever known to our peop'e. M my arc still siok, hut the severity of the epidemic rectus to be relaxing its hold for the present. 'l'he outlook for ihe farmer is ilirk nml gloomy. However, an ninp'e supply of corn whs ma le in this section, uti-l nhont half a supply of meat. I lie wheat acreage is small to what it shoul 1 have heen. Many have raised a g- > I supply of excelleot molasses, ami t-otnc few have raised a tine crop of tobacco. Then* now semis to he a tixeil resolve on the part of our farmers to raise, as nearly as possible, every article they consume. That isccitainly a step irt the i iglit illrecii u. May the good Lord help tliem to car y out successfully their laudable ami se!i?ih!c resolution. The short crop, together with tlie very low pr'ce of cotton, h-s stagnated all the channels of irii'lc, atul our country is almost bankrupt. Hut the less ni taught by an over pro (action of c)i ton is a salutary one, anil in consequence the fanners have resolve I ti turn their attcn'i >11 mote to rai-dng nee leil supplies ami le-s t > thrt staple which has almost ruiiicl our p-nple.

The time has come when crerr ciiixen r* press ins views fearlessly snd b ddl, upon the issues of the day. We nugh', if possible t> a-certain the c?u?o of our distress ami th* remedy. II gb tar ft, overproduction, (mines* of the farni-rs, Tillinin beinj governor. and other imaginary causes equally as absurd, h??e been assigned for our depressed con li'ion. While I am oppose I to a h'gh tariff-, yet I " " - lli*l mip inidtlll ,1114 tinftneill - -'-I system i< responsible for I lie present depressed con'lit ion of the people. All classes must admit that more money is nee led. The gradual contract! >o of the currency for the past twenty-3re years has diminished the volume of money until it is entirely inadequate for tbo increasing business ef the country. The question arises, who is responsib'c for this condition of affairs? The answor is plain. Onr law-makers. Congress has the right to issue money direc to the people and in sufficient volume to do the legitimate business of the country, Hut, alas! the men we hare trusted and honored have ignored the rights and interests of the crest mass of their constituents and bccuue the willing .tool* of bloated bondholders and b.inkers. What right had congress to issue the people's money to corporations at a cost of 1 per cent, and license t hose corpoialiens to loan it to tuc people at a cost of 8 to 25 per cent ? The resu t of legislation in the interest of Wall strict and the money | owcr is just what might have becu expected. Mil lion tires have sprung up like mushrooms. 200,000 indivi 1 tints own 70 per cent of the wealth of the notion, leaving 04,SOU,000 in possession of30 per cent of the national wealth. "Actual oppress on and want is f dlowing closely upon, the lice's of Dives' chariot." Is it any wonder thn( the farmers and other laboring chases have combined to check and drive back the mighty current wh cit litre item their inter ruin? A recent writer says: "Tito laborers has been too eagerly lured with fruitless pr>iii?es and nice strings of rhetoric and fact dissembling speech. The bars are now closing behind hint, and in the full realiz itiui of his post foa, at last he atti'ids aghist at the end of his political path." Now, Mr. liditor, the farmers have suggested a remedy for the diseased body politic?the best known to our Materia M He,i. The political quacks say; no, that will never do. You will destroy the pnticut. Well, yon have had charge 25 years, and now must give up the case into other hands. If the laboring classes do not press their demands until they make themselves heard in the hulls of legislation they are worthy of no higher position than "hewers of wood and drawers of wa er." "In my ucxt I wish to give the opinions of some of the eminent men of the past in regard to cur financial system. C. 11. Bono. Correspondence of the Union Timks.
