The loss from inoflicient labor, or ha" seasons, or worthless manures, may be heavy, but it is as nothing compared with the loss that will fall on our planters next winter, if com pelied to sell their cotton to pay debts or buy provisions. Each plan ter now hopes that he will be the lue;ky man that will escape, but past eapericneo should havo taught the wise how vain is such a hope. The whirlwind of panic and speculation will sweep away his year's labor and earnings like a straw, just as in 1807. Tl eed, the beginning of this year re seles greatJy that most disastrous period that ever dawned upon 'a strug 'ling people. And the press of the South is but fultilling a most solemn duly, in warning against tho infatua tion of the hour. With on0 voice it reit erate's-avoid indebtedness, and llant provisions enough to insure the power of holding and controlling the price of cotlon. To ntako a double erop of cot lon, at a sacrifie of all else, antd tihen be compelled by debt, or frightened by panic, to sell it at one hal', or one-third of its value, will not pr ve a remnnerativo proceeding. Better not plant at all, than plant to inerease 'indebtedness. Those who cann,t. procure labor now, may next wint er have reason to rejoice over their apparent inisfortu ne. The con tracts, Ioo, being offered are not justi tied by the past character of the labor ers. but (we sincerely hope) may im prove it, on' the principle, that, when trusted, even the most abandoned and worthless bare often acted in a man ner worthy .i the trust. But would i sane In".i, therefore, put his life or preini tihe power of an outlaw or a rob- :1 is that ordinary prudence ' We thi'.k not. Nevertheless, we do not hesitate to express (he opinion, t hat, in our State, a p rovI'lion crop planted on any but rieh, bottom land-b, will not pay, with ou nnwnure, one hailf so well as cotton, even at ten cents a ponnd. If, then, clmpelled to plant without manur a mon re-t wr tched aInd destructive sys tcn,,-.-and if at all within reach of a Co1ven ient lepot. for forage and corn, go a head, plant cot ton, but beware of Uxp,ct in;g a sulden fortune thereby. It is simply the better of the two evils; for if you can possibly make the ma nnro, or have cotton seed on hand, provisions should not be neglected. Gold a Good Inyestment. To buy plantatiot? supplies of all sorts now, when they are low and can he convoniontly hauled, without in. t.erruption to the culture of the grow ing crop, would in many oases be the hst posible investment. To others, owing to the rattago, waste, and stoal agi', ill thle famnil iar forms of ncgr'ongo andu over'serago, such a purchase wouldl be anything but a sa'vinug. In deedi, we lknew of a fine imnager', whlo beid, that it was chealper' in the cnd to bny1 suipplies, when and as they' were needed, and11 we do not doubt tbat, in ord(liaary sceasons, he was right. Shelled corn, for instanoc, badly stor ed, may cost a planter one or two of his mi ales. 11:11)n, badly stored, may spoil. And oveiryth ing badly guard eil, is subhject to neoaf. eid' in or'd iniiry seasons, pr'ices frequently in t he suunnerlC favor the buyer, and be thus both gainls on the price and saves interest. D)uring tlhis rsennon, prices will ro bably steadily increase. It is there tor'e, a giood policy for thloso who can, to buy at onlco, if sure of good stor ago and ofl'eotual guarding. But to thlose who are perfectly sure of the exact. contriar'y, who know thlat they cannout safely store 1nor seem ely guard, we suggest an inv)~estme)nt of their money in gold. or' whllat is much bet ter', a loan of it upon a g'old b,asis, bearing inter'est, to theo tirml that usu) ally supplies t hem dur'ing thle y'ear. A mlomnent's attention will convine a pilanter of theo great u'aatage of taking this advice. While the cotton is being moved, the demand for cur roney is so strong, that, as compared with gold, for three years past, it has, inv'ariably risen in vaIluo, so that at this season of the year it will buy more gold coin thlan in the s)umer mfonthls; or conversely, gold obtained now, will purchase more curreney neCxt summern01. The gain to thle plati tel' will be about ten per cent, in six mionths. The following quotations from a reliable table prove it. Date. Price of Gold.

PATRON. P' I.i.aNots AsnA'1uF:.) or CimAoo. On Saturday, according to a dispatch from Chicago, a bill was itirodneed into the d State Legislature of lliniois and passed by . a vote of seventy-eight to nine, fihe object of which bill being to separate the city of a Chicago from the State of Illinois and to hand it over to Indiana. What does this mean ? Wo know that it has- been more than once suggesled that New York City, including Long Island, Staten Island add Coney Island ,ihotuld be cit1I off from New f York State and cotnst it utedi a separate State. This is intelligibule. New York State is Riepublican, New York City and the adja cent. islands are Deimocratio. No suchl dif ference, however, exists between Chicago t and the State of Illinois. The city is qulite as sirongly llopubllican as the State. What ecin this proposed separation mean ? We 1' can only tundersiand It by siupposintg that in the Iniquity of Chicago has beconmo so mon.. ri strotus, so glaring and offensive that the b sober and.order loving people of the State, il filledi withI righteous inidignation, are dleter. p mtined that, the oiutm shitll no longer In any Ii sense attach- to them.

That tite poor rde may have a showing, we transfer this ragraph in their defense from an ex ange. It says: "We have seen planters killing the wood. oker for sport. They are regarded as a isance, because they peck holes in the uck, and are charged with eating young in. But In this last particular injustice done them. If you will go to every ear ey have pocked, and examine closely, u will find that a worm has been there ting the corn but it is not there then, enuse the woo-pecker has taken it otf the r and swallowed it. Insteud of eating mr c'.rn, it will protect it from the worm. e is, therefore, yocr friend and not your lemy, and you should not kill him."

And we know of a negro man who married a white woman, (one who pretended to white,) who had se rious trouble to get rid of her. A Cura for Waits and Coins. Warts are very troublesome and disfiguring. The following is a perfect cure, even of the largest, without leav ing any senr. It is a Frenehman's prescription, nud 1 as been tested by many : Take i small piece of 1a'M beef, steep it all night in vinegar, cut as much from it asq will cover the wart, tie it on it, oi, if the oxeresencee is on the forehemld. fausteni it on with stri ps of sticking plaster. It may be remtoved in the day, a d put on every tiight. In one fortnight the war.t will die and peel off. Thie samie iresoription will eure corins. Newepaper Sponlgers.

They are well worthy of a care ui consideration "First, get a broadside view of the mitimrtl, at a dista:Ico of. about two rds, as I have noticed for years that there was a great similarity in the zencral proportions of all first-class ' milkers, being very small in girth just back of their forward legs, as eomupar^d writh the girtli j nst forward rf their hip:. 1 never know a first rate milker of any breed, not thus proportioned ; so that if t iis form is wanting in an anin:al recoinmended to me, I do not care to look at her more, unless I want a breeder for some oth er putrposo than the dairy. For breeding oxen I should want a cow of reverse proportions-i. C., lirger ,irth forward. I next feel the size of the milk veins, and trace them to their entrance into tIme chest, which, in su perior cows, are large, admitting the ball of the largo linger ; if tlivide<l or stbd ividede, as is soniotines the on+--,, f judge of the size of oncit orifice, as L are less for, the vein itself than the ~rilee. Next, I examine, by sight ini tonh, the udder or bag, which mnust' bo capacious in order ti hohl much milk, with teats wide.apart and free from large seed warts, or sores of inv kind ; I then inq uire how long Ahl g dg hlr;i&u c cal vin g, as I don't want a family cow to give milk less than forty six weeks out, of every fif ty-two ; also as to the <tuality of milk; ind to close, I milk her with my own hands."
