V The cotton crop, grown over eo widely
extended nn area of country, nnd passing
in its process from seed to shipment
through so many hands, has yet been
reduced to figures so exact that few
articles of commerce can be statistically
considered with equal precision. The
immense advantage of the tabular state
ment in .respeetj of cotton lies, of course,
in its enabling us to make conjectural
estimates of the future growth of the
plant likely to full not fur short of the
trurtfr^Tfrtfrls cdtincttW/'tne*following
facts from the New York iW will be
found pertinent:
The Aruorican cotton crop of last year
has been ascertained as 2,430.803 bales.'
The average of weight is 400 pounds to.j
the bale, which gives > an aggregate of
072,367,200 pounds, Worth iu currency
about 8?50,000,000. For practical pur
poses the bale may be set down at the
Value of 8100. ^
Three acres, as a rule, produce ono
bajo of cotton. Tho crop of 18G8, upon
this average, required the cultivation of
7,292,670 acres. The land devoted to
cotton before the war was taken to re
present a money value of $291.707.100;
bat, by rensou uf tho disorganisation in
cident to the war. this value has fallen
to 872.02ti.700. The area of the States
growing cut ton, exclusive of Keutiiekj
Missouri and Virginia?in portions
which the phut may bo succesnfully ct
ttvatcd?is 426,365.410 acres. Th
area may he fairly taken as the poasib
cotton fluid of the future, setting off tl
portions of the cotton-growing Stab
?proper which cannot be employed fi
cotton production against the Keutuck
Mis ouri nnd Virginia lauds which in:;
he* an employed. '1 lie United Statt
then h*vc a capacity ot c-dton produ
tUa of 142.121 .813 bales, which :tt cxis
Ins priec? in currency would he wort
*l4,2i?.000.0i?0?? sum wltich -feuern
the imagination.
The crop ??f Ittat year occupied on
about one fifty-ninth part of this vast
area, end brought only about the same
proportion uf the sum just mentioned.
Practically, then, it may be said that
there ia no limit to the quantity of" cot
tun that may be raised by a combination
of effort no the part of those immediately
interested.
The fall \n price of our staples since
the war Its* greatly crippled the cotton
planting interests of India mid Kgypt.
The largest yield in India was that of
1866, when it reached l,S40.ti48 bales.
This was brought! down in 18G8 to
1,420,576 bales. Egypt produced, iu
1865, 404.4 11 bales; in 1808, 108.035,
'or not enough to disturb a calculation of
probable results hereafter. Both these
countries paid tho penalty of a too ex
{dative devotion of their lands to cotton,
under the stimulus of our war, iu famine,
which tarried off noarly a million of hu
man beings. Id Smyrna, nnd other
portions of the Levant, where, in 1864,
the fig crop was sacrificed to the growth
of cotton, the culture bus been almost
entirely abandoned.
M'u see, then, that the United States
|a likely to remain tho chief cotton-grow
er of the world j and We see, nl.-o. that its
capacity for increased production de
pends almost wholly upon the iner used
supply of labor. The importance of en-1
couraging emigration becomes magnified
So this view to the greatest extent.
jpMioitATioN TO Liu Kui a?There
seems to be an impression ubroud iu the
community, that the American Colonisa
tion Society had suspended operations.
This, however, is not the fact; for we
understand their ship, the Golcouda, is
to sail again the first of November next,
with a large number of emigrants. A
special call is made for some intelligent,
. "educated, and pious families, to go at
that time to occupy a new and important
'opening for missionary work. Two or
three preachers of the Gospel urc want
ed ; also, several persons capable of
teaching the native children Kantest
self-reliant persons are wanted, sutb us
are set spart to lab t fur the good of
their race, at tho same time that they

In aD article on "Homo Thought* for
Working Women," in tho IiOndon
People's Magazine, wc find tho annexed:
- But what I would plead against most
earnestly with you is tho invariable temp
tation to use bard words und hitter abuse.
My sisters, do it not, 1 beseech you; it
only makes things so much Worse. I
have actually had to take a drunken mnu
back to bis owfi homo myself, m order
to protect him from what??hi* wife's
tongue) knowing that it would shut the
door on the possibility of repentance.
When a map comes home, tired nnd
thirsty, for his tea, nud is told by his
wife that be may "just wait ;" when ho
comes back to nu untidy, dirty house,
because bis wife has been gossiping half
the afternoon with the very women he
dislikes most; when bis children's faces
arc so dirty that his parent il love must
ntjed a strong appetite to relish kissing
them ; when the ruonoy, which as it/lies |
iu his hard palm, represents to him so
much sweat from his honest brow, he
finds is wasted by bad management;
when the rtcnls arc badly cooked, because
his wife won't take the trouble to learn
to cook well, or find oat what ho likes
best ; and when in addition to all this, if
ho ventures on a single wordofcotn
plaint, has his wife's tonguo ';bnnging
mW
io
tho tap room is bright and sanded, aud
'?jolly, and fiue company ;" is it a mnr
vel that he prefers spending his evenings
there rather than at homo? My sisters!
as lung as these thiugs arc so. and you
Lake no pains to make them otherwise,
there aro two heavy scores being run up;
one is the public house score? your
husband will have to pay that; the other
is a more terrible score which the record
ing nugcl is keeping, and that at tho last
day of -trict and solemn account, will be
brought up against you.
Tin; Cotton Cttor or 1809.?A cor
respondent, writes to the Mncon (On.)
Telegraph as follow.-*, concerning the
growing cottou crop :
I noticed an article iu your paper a
Tew days ago upon the cotton crop, aud
v;yyH C.'?ft?-st a"few niore ideas i.u the
same subjeet.j
If you will refer back to our authori
ties, you will find that a cold spring has
becu invariably followed by a large cot
ton crop. Iu 1841, 1855, and 1859,
three of our most productive cottou
years, the springs were cold aud lato.
There is no ud vantage iu planting cot
tou before the fisrt week of May, und if
planted before, it is an advantage to have
it kept back by the frust, for it then
gains strength und bears more fruitfully,
instead of ruuuing up into weeds, as it
will do if tho weather is warm at first.
The account:; IVoin Texas, Arkansas,
Louisiana aud Mississippi uro vary fine,
and represent the crops as most nourish
ing. TIiopo sections were injured by
overflows of tho rivers, but the crops
have sinco recovered, aud aro now as
forward as thny usually arc at this time.
We know that tho prospects iu the
Southeastern States arc very promising.
There can bo no doubt that fully one
quarter nioro land has been planted in
cotton than last year, that more fertili
sers were used, and that the negroes arc
working hotter and more of them arc at
work.
The opiuion which sonic entertain,
that more cottou cau be raised than oati
he picked, ia unreasonable, for no man
will leave any in bis fields as long as it
is worth over twenty eonts per pound.
Wo can raise Jl,U()0,0UU bales, and oor
tainly pick that quantity also, and if the
present favorable weather continues, it
will be done this year.

What it Costs to Print a New**
paper.
hi' 'In*
Persons who object to tho advertising
rates in a largely circulated newspaper
never stop to calculate what it coats tho
printer to put their business into his
columns and spread it before the public.
If they did they would be covered with
shame and confusion, and instead of de
nouncing the publisher as exhorbitant in
his charges, freely confess that, in some
instances, they get far more than the
worth of their money. We submit the
following figures to show what one col
umn costs us In our paper; basing our
calculation on the prico of printing pa
per, type-sotting, prdss-work and ink,
leaving the wear and tear of our type
and machinery ontirely out of the ques
tion :
We print in the first place 3000 copies
weekly, which roquircs GJ reams of pa
per. That paper weighs 50 lbs. to the
roam, and is uow worth 14 cents a
pound.
Onr weekly expense for paper is there
fore $48 75. There arc 18 columns on
one side of our paper?all that we can.
1 under an)' circunistauccs, appropriate to
advertising purposes, and if wo divide
this into the total cost, it would make
the yearly expense to us for printiug pa
I per, for each column, $120 33. Allow
us twenty per cent profit on the paper,
for each column, and we have $25 26.
Add the UHual rates churged by printers
for type-setting und press-work, aud wo
have! 6000 ems in a column at one dol
lar per thousand, renewed quarterly.
$24. Press-work, $3 per 1000, divided
by 18 columns weekly, 50 cents. Press
work at 50 cents por column weekly for
52 weeks. $26. Printing ink, $2, mak
ing tho tetul ralnr of 1 column in our
paper 1 year, $203 59.
We hovo been advertising by the col
umn, half column and quarter column at
twtv0 ?mi3id-..mbljf~~H3>g rtran "Tncac^ anft
the intelligent render will at once see
that wo have been but poorly paid for
our labor. When we further consider
the expense wc are put to in keeping up
repairs of all kinds in the office, and pur
chasing new type when the old is worn
out, wc have not the remunerative profit
we should have in consideration of the
j advantage those derive who advertise in
Our columns.
The fact is that newspapers, as a gen
eral thing, do not pay. The subscrip
tion money au 1 what is taken in for ad
vertisements ycry often falls short of the
actual expenses of the printing office. Iu
such cases the parties aro obliged to fall
back upon the job work to meet their
current expenses; and as that business
can be carried on just as profitably with
out tho paper, the latter must be looked
ttpon in the majority of instances, as an
accommodation niciely?a surt of an in
tellectual appendage which is thrown out
of the office gratuitously, and for the
specific beucht of the community at
large. If grumblers and fault-finders
bad their own way, the more papers a
publisher would circulate from his office,
weekly, the greater tho danger he would
bo iu of impoverishing himself und bis
family, while the reverse should be the
fact in business point of view.? York

Tea GubTUBS in Te.nne.ssek.?The
New York Tribune, in a Into editorial
article, commented upon lliu fact, pub
lished iu this j iuruui a lew weeks since,
that tea,equal in flavor to Young Hyson,
had been successfully cultivated near this j
city. The editor of the Tribune demon- i
btrated the vast influence which the suc
cess ?f the tea culture in the South '
would have upon the development of our
Southern internal resources, and urged
that all the information connected with
its culture should be 1. id before the pub
lic. Thut the iutcrcst, which has suc
ceeded the announcement of the success
ful cultivation of ibis important article |
of commerce, may be enhanced, and to
tho end that some practical benefit to the
industrial interests of the country may
be derived from n more general discus
sion of the subject, we visited the farm
of Captain .lautet Campbell, some ten
miles from Knoxville, whero the tea
plant has been iu successful cultivation
for ton years.
Wo learned that the plants had been
distributed through the Agricultural De
partment in Washington, about the year
1858. Hon. Horace Maymird, member
member of Congress for this district, re
ceived a few of the plants, and mailed
them to ('apt. Campbell. This gentle
man has fully tested their adnptcducss to
our genial climate, and has succeeded be
yond bis diosI sanguine expectations.
The plant is a deep evergreen shrub,
and attains, at its full development, about
five feet height. It is hardy and needs
no protection from frosts. It bears an
abundant clop, with beautiful, flagrant
flowers in October. The following sea
son it matures a seed, somewhat resemb
ling the seed of our native hazel, and
which grows ns readily.
Capt. Campbell informs us that he litis
cultivated merely a small number of tho
plants, or, as he expressed it, ??just
enough to keep the family in tea." At
Iiis suggestion wo drank a cup of the tea,
and confess our surprise at its fragrance.
Iu our judgment, the tea raised by Capt.
Campbell is fully equal to Young Hy
son.
The vigor aud hardiness of tho tea
plant, und its adaptedtiess to the climate
of Knjit Tennessee, have been fully test
ed, with ti perfectly satisfactory result.?

Emigrants Wanted to Liberia.?
The Rev, Alex. Crutumell, a colored
minister of the Episcopal Church, and n
graduate of Cambridge, England, in a
letter dated at Millsbcrry, Liberia, Nit
vember, 1308, says : ''The auxiety of the
natives for schooling cannot be exagge
rated. All through the country they arc
asking for schools. If we had the meaus
we could establish a hundred schools
among the natives within a mouth." In
this connection an appeal is made to
Christian colored families in the United
State:, to go out under the auspices of
the Atuericau Colouizatiou Sooiety aud
give their force to the regeneration of
the race on tho west coast of Africa.
The Atuericau Colouizatiou Society, it is
stated, is now mnking an effort to get
fifteen or twenty families of intelligence
and piety to sail in their ship, the "Gol
conda," the 1st of November next, to
occupy an important place on missionary
ground. The call for such help, it is
suid, is urgent. Tho Bociety will pay
tho expenses of emigrants from their
present homes to the place of sailing,
will give them a free passage to Liberia
aud six months support there, with tcti
acres of land to each single man and 25
acres to each family. The officers of tho
society may be consulted at the Coloni

Tiik N kwspai'kr^?De Tocqueville,
in his work on America, gives this forci
ble sketch :
"A newspaper can drop the same
thought into a thouaaud minds at the
same moment. A newspaper is an ad
viser, who docs not require' to bo sought
but comes to yon briefly every day of
common weal, without distracting your
private affairs. Newspapers, therefore,
become more necessary in proportion as
men become more equal individuals, and
more to bo feared. To suppose that
they only serve to protect freedom, would
bo to diminish their importance; they
maintain civilization^", ott.t/^Wf'lo

Tho way to get along in the wpjrjd is
to make every step one that is ahead,
and each to follow its predecessor. JTull
fitly per cent of the effort of the world
is absolutely wasted in indirect, diffuse,
indefinite labors. Young men start out
iu lifo without purpose or point, casting
a thought neither on their fitness nor un
fituoss for a particular calling; now do
ing this thing, then that, and nftor that
nothing ; one day going 01^ another on
the right (which is wroug) or loft," tho
next backward, and than not goiujj at
all, which is perhaps as the whole com
bined. Tho right lino in lifo is the
i?s which leads straight ahead. This
almost always secures success. There is
an ex-scavenger in Boston who drives
his span on tho Brighton road after
noons, gathers his dividends on State
street forenoous, and lives in a swell
front palaco at South Eud. Ho did not
disdain au unsavory calling, pushed and
mado it pay, aud remained ou the pine
seat uutil ho could afford to lift himself
ovor to hair and plush. Step early, step
often, but above all, ttcp right ahead.
