THE FAIRFIED HERALD WINNSBO1O, S. C. Wednesday Morning, Feb. 3, 1869. D yportes, Williams & Co., Props 1 Gold for Cotton, With every word which we printed from the Augusta Constitutionalist lust wo.k against hoarding we most hearti ly agree, and so far as demanding gold for cotton has the tendency to encour age hoarding, we would utter nothing but censure against it. But other and deeper questions are involved, and we think it not imnprobable that by the fall of 1870, unless there be an u l3xpected change in the management of our national finances, all the cotton plnters of the entire South will. have followed the example of the cotton. planters of Texas in demanding gold, and not greenbacks, in exchungo for their cotton. 1. The Southern States will not be truly represented in Congress during the next four years. The ilifluenice they will exort on the government, then, seems to depend exclusively up on the skill of our planters in escap ing from the indebtedness under which they now labor, and in control Sliug, in tlucir individual capacity, the cotton and tobacco and sugar crops. By demanding gold, and not green backs, for their produce, they will ex ert an influence by no menus to be de spised, and the growing disposition, just as they commence to escape from their indebtedness, to cxert this tre. mendous power, is a fNct worthy of the most serious attention of Stateimen. The fear of the Northern press to no tice this new form of what they dcubtless consider as rebellion, or their strange oversight of it and its serious and almost irresistible conse quences in modifying, if not positive ly controlling the fimancial policy of the future, is wonderfully significant. That the despised South should, with in three years from this date, practi cally control the finances of the Union, without a single really true representativo of her people in high position in the .government, Is sonic. thing of which tho arch-fiend little dreamt when he so often repented his precept of the gospel of hate, "4lmpov erish them, and then lot them alone.'' We have been inpovorished indeed, but as we begin to rise, thme disposi tion not to risk the future by insepa rably linking it with the financioring of an oxtravagmit and corrupt govern. mont, may force that government tc s)briety, or at least save our future from overwhelming embarrassnonts. 2. We have once or twice hinted strongly our conviction that, however much immigrants from the North om Europe may assist in the development of our resources, the progress of Imin. gration will be so slow as to leave the future of the land weolove emophat ical lylin our own hands. Any mnovenment therefore, that promises to discourage mere money speculations, and to lead to inveatments in real solid improve, moents, (and this gold movement tc those who fear the folly and dishon est extravagance of the national gov ernment, seems to be auoh a move mont) is worthy of most sobier re ficotion. The present cotton erop ol South Carolina and of thme greate1 part of Georgia will be exchanged fo~ national currency, because our plant tors are in debt, but will it be thn case with the crop of 1869, and if so with the crop of 18:10. We, at presen think not. The gold for cotton move ment is d'estined to growv. It is th< most significant feature in the situa tion of the South. Eithmer that, or sudden and wonderful reform of th< national government. The Best Manure.

GOLD CONTRACTS.-The N'ew York Coinercial Idvertiser thin'; that the adoption of Semi or .Tihrman r finance bill would, in all proba a bility, have a very impertant re sult, not at all contributing to the interest of the North or* promotive of the resumption of speoie paynbonts. The South, it says, has a deep-rooted t prejudice against greenbacks and Na tional Bank notes, which now shows itself in some sections in a demand for gold in payment for cotton. In the event of gold contracts being legaliz ed, the cotton States would be free to c.atablish their trade upon a coin basis, and in all probability would do so, with the result of draining the North of a large amount of Its coin, and thereby postponing the period of re sumption.
