The approach of the planting season in tho South, and the policy to be pursued with regard to the next crop, are matters of more than local interest. In fact to the whole communit}-, North and South, everything connected with tho cotton crop of I860 is a subject of tho highest importance. Nor is the interest confined to cur own country. The cotton manu? facturers nt.d consumers of Europe, and tho cotton producers in India, Egypt and antr?tfher places will find their industry se? riously aftectcd for good or ill by the pros? pects and result of the coming season. l.vKing- Cotton/' for udethronot monarch, still exereisosa decided and positive influ? ence in the world; and this influ 3nce seems to bo increasing rather than diminishing. At no former period have the prospects of ^IrVslaplo dieted a deeper or more general concern. The action, therefore, of the South in \ refcrenco to tho now crop is of tho first j impoitance. Jfo backward s'.ep should be takeriybufc fcheen.no intelligent course which has produced such rcmarkablo re- \ suks the past year should be continued tho coming season. It has abundantly demonstrated tho vitality of the South j ?nd the possibility of raising cotton moro successfully by freed labor than by slave labor. All that is needed now is that the lessons of the past t hree years bo not lost, jirordof that the South may retain the vantago ground it has gained, and onter upon a new career of social and industrial development and prosperity. -At the close of tho civil war the single element of labor was about the only means remaining in the South of recovery from tho' industrial prostration in which that section was left. But oven this resource was sadly deficient. Tho frccdmen wero fcadly demoralized, insubordinate and pre? tentious; and. at the same time, the white population was exhausted, angry and jealous. All classes were utterly broken down in spirit, while th-jre was no money or credit anywhere. In this extremity the planters turnod lo cotton as their on? ly hope. Prices had been high, and it -was thought that they would continueso, an/jLpn the basis of the then ruling rates, contracts were entered into and plans jijatie for the j'ear. It is scarcely neces? sary* to repeat disasters of that and the succeeding seasons. The result of the policy pursued was, that during tho win? ter of 1866, a cry of famine arose from the most fertile districts of the world, and tho little remnant the war had left ap jjcarod to have been lost. Relief was sont, tnnrtne danger passed awry, leaving a severe experience, which has resulted, however, jn the greatest gocd to that sec? tion of otfr" country, enabling them, in fact to raise a crop of cotton at about ten c,ejitS,pcr pound, and to sell it at more than' twenty cents. Over two hundred 'and fifty millions of dollars will pass into tho South from cotton alone this season, placing the planters in a position of com? parative independence. In tracing tho causes of the success of 1868, as contrasted with tho disasters of tho preceding years, we find the clearest indications of what should, be the polity of tho South in the immediate future. Failure at first was not the result of de? ficient crops, but rather of the acts of the -ireedmen and the planters themselves. Capital, to bo sure, was shy and distrust? ful, and could only bo obtained with diffi? cult}- and at high rates of interest or on extremely unfavorable terms. Labor, ulso, was demoralized. In'very many cases the freedmen, having newly tasted tho sweets of liberty, refused to work, or, if they-worked, it was with a great lack of energy and efficiency. They could not SCO the necessity for work, and it required 'th,e: bittor hardships of the winters of "1866-67 to bring thcin to their senses.? The planters, too, needed a certain kind of experience. They had seen cotton at a high price for a hing time, and conclu? ded it was to remain so. Consequently they bid high for labor and put into the ground nothing but cotton. When, how? ever, they began to market the staple, as prices had fallen to a decidedly Jow level, it was found that it did not return them the cost of raising it. Corn and wheat they had neglected, and it was the bitter experience they then passed through as a consequence of this neglect which show? ed them its folly and led them to a wiser courso the past season. Thus suffering and identity of interests brought all classes together as they never before had been, showing the freed man if he would eat he must work, and the planter, that he could not now depend upon exorbitant .figures, but must hire his labor so that he eould raise his crop at a reasonable liguro, and must give up a portion of his lime and land lo food products, If this crop of cotton had cost as much as the pre? vious ones, or if the South had raised no food, thoy would have been compelled to force the staple upon the market to get 'themselves out of debt or to provide the necessities of life, and very little benefit would have resulted to them from the im? proved rates? On the contrary, the plan? ter is now clearing over ten cents per pound, and the South is making millions of dollars, placing them, as we have be? fore stated, in a position of great strength lor the new yes r. Wo have, then, in the experience! of the past, an unmistakable indication of the course that should be pursued by the South in order that the advantages she now possesses may be maintained. First, then, it is of the highest importance that the planter should not be led by present prices to contract with tho freedmen at exorbitant rates. The crop must be rais? ed economically and cheaply, for there is no wisdom in supposing that it can be marketed except at a figure very much below present quotations. It must be remembered that the prices now obtained act as a premium fur the cultivation of cotton throughout the whole world.? Largely increased supplies are likely, un? der this stimulus, to be raised in IffHia, Egypt, Brazil, and other places, and al? though the consumption is steadily in? creasing a decided reduction in Hie rates must be tho result of this eager competi? tion iu production. We notice (hat there is some indisposition among ti e Ireedmen to contract lor last year's wages. This is right where he is worth more; but for j the planter to agree now to pay an exor-1 bitant rate, just becuusc cotton at tho moment is high, would be only to insure for both parties disappointment arid loss? in fact, to check the prosperity which the past year has begun to develop through? out the South. Then, again, it is of the greatest importance that as much wheat and corn and provisions be planted as was planted the past year. It is desirable that cotton should bo the leading, but not the only, production. A disregard of this idea was the error of tho first year after tho war, and short breadstuff's crops in Europe put up the prices of corn and wheat to figures which resulted in the fearful distress of the winter of I867-C8. We think.a little caution now on these points would be of inestimable value to the South for yoars to come. Not that wo desire a small crop of cotton to bo raised?for wo believe tho true interests of the cotton States demand a largo crop and low prices, which will drive out com? petition?but simply that the greatest economy in production be used, no con? tract for labor based on present rates for cotton be made, and a sufficient supply of food products be put in to make that sec? tion independent of others for their daily bread. The observance of theso precau? tions will insuro a prosperous }-ear for tho South, And do much toward imparting ac? tivity to tho industries of the whole coun? try.? Commercial and Financial Chronicle. -* Coax Grown as Fodder.?Few of our farmers know the value of corn grown as fodder. One of our farmers tells US that during the war when provender of all sorts became scarce, being short, he resorted to the expedient of sowing thickly broad? cast a field of between four and five acres in corn, which he cut nnd used as fodder. Sowing about the 10th.of April, he was able to realize two crops, cured and fit for use beforo corn came in, and that his stock thrivod and did well upon it, when he had nothing else to givo them. Well cured sweet corn fodder is one of the best feeds for milch cows that can be given them. Tho stalk, as well as the blade, is eaten with avidity, and is preferred n* any one may realize who will make the test for the simple reason that it contains more saccharino matter than other forage. When fed as cut green it is excellent food for milch cows, and will produce more milk, and richer milk, and sweeter but? ter than any other groen food. When cut with the cutting knife, and soaked in boiling water, mixed with a small quan tity of pea meal, it makes the best winter food that can be given a cow. Small far? mers will find corn, sown as fodder, to be tho most profitable crop, so far as domes? tic comfort nnd economy goes, that can be raised. Let a farmer once try a corn fodder patch and ho'will never be with? out it.?Augusta Chronicle. Act Wisely, if You Would.Do Well ?"Once upon n lime" a certain man was granted all he might be able to earn across the sea in a great ship. He em? ployed laborers and loaded bis ship with costly merchandise to its utmost capacity, lie set sail with fond anticipations of the great wealth he was about to possess. Be? fore the voyage was ended, he realized his frilly. Hunger came and wonld not be appeased with hope of future feasting, or heaps of riches.

Being a wealthy youth from Baltimore, of fine family, this was considered a good joke. The effect some times was ludicrous.

Office of Udolpho Wolfe, SOLE IMPORTER OF THE Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, 22 LEAVER STREET, NEW YORK, November 3, 1808. To the People of the ?Southern States : When (lie pure medicinal resloralive, now so widely known us Wolfe's Schiedam Schnapps, was introduced into tlie warld under the endorsement ot four thousand lending members of the medical profession some 20 years ago, its proprietor was wdl aware that it could not wholly escape the penalty attached to all new and useful prepara? tions. He, therefore, endeavored to invest it with strongest possible safeguard against counterfeiters, and to render all attempts to pirate it difficult und dangerous. It was submitted to distinguished chemists for analysis, and pronounced by them the purest spirit ever manufactured. Its purity aud properties having been thus ascertained, samples of the article were forwarded to ten thousand phy? sicians, including all the leading practitioners in the United States, for purposes ot experiment. A circular, requesting a trial of the preparation and a report of the result, accompanied each specimen. Four thousand of the must eminent medical men in the Union promptly responded. Their opin? ions of the article were unanimously favorable. Such a preparation they said, had long been wanted by the profession, as no reliance could be placed on the ordinary liquors of commerce, all of which were more or less adulterated, and therefore unfit for medical purposes. The peculiar excellence and strength of the oil of juniper, which formed one of the priucipal ingredients of the Schnapps, to? gether with an unalloyed character of the alcohol? ic element, give it, iu the estimation ot the faculty, a marked superiority over every other diffusive stimulant a* a diuretic. Ionic aud restorative. These satisfactory credentials from professional men of the highest rank were published in a con? densed form, and enclosed with each bottle of the Schnapps, as one of the guarantees of its genuine? ness. Other precautions against fraud were also adopted: a patent was obtained for the article, the label was copyrighted, a fur timileut the pro? prietor's autograph signature was attached Io each label and cover, his name und that of the piepara liou were embossed on the bottles, and the corks were sealed with his private seal. No article had ever been sold iu this country under the name of Schnapps prior to the hit rod act ion of Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps, iu 1S.1I ; nnd the label was deposited, ns his trade mark, iu the Uni? ted States District Uourl for the Southern District of New Vork that year. It might be supposed by persons unacquainted with the daring character of the pirates who prey upon the reputation of honorable merchants by vending deleterious irash under their name, thai the protection so carefully thrown around these Schnapps would have precluded the introduction and sale of counterfeits. TSicy seem, however, to have only stimulated tho rapacity of iinposlers. The trade mark of the proprietor has been stolen; the indorsement which his Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps alone received front the medical profes? sion has been claimed by mendacious humbugs; his labels and bullies have been imitated, his ad? vert i; einen is paraphrased, his circulars copied,and worse riian all, dishonorable retailers, alter dispo? sing of the genuine contents of his bottles, have filled them up with common gin, the most delete? rious of nil liquors, and thus made his name mid brand a cover for poison. The public, the medical profession and I lie sick, i for whom I he Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps is prescribed as a remedy, are equally interested ' with the proprietor in the detection and suppres? sion of these nefarious practices. The gcnu^io article, manufactured at the establishment of the undersigned, in Schiedam, Holland, is distilled from a barley of the finest quality, and flavored with an essential extract of the berry of the Ital? ian juniper, of unequalled purity. By a process unknown in the preparation of any other liquor, it is freed from every acrimonious aud corrosive element. Complaints have been received from the lending physicians and families in the Southern States of the sale of cheap imitations of the Schiedam Aro? matic Schnapps in those markets ; and travellers, who arc in the habit of using it as an antidote to the baneful influence o':' unwholesome river water, testify that cheap gin, put up in Schiedam bottles, is frequently palmed ofl' upon the unwary: The agents of the undersigned have been requested to institute inquiries on the subject, and to forward to him the names of such parties as they may as? certain to be engaged in the atrocious system of deception. In conclusion, the undersigned would say that he has produced, from under the hands of the most distinguished men of science in America, proofs unanswerable of the purity and medical excellence of the Scheidain Aromatic Schnappt: that he has expended many thousand dollars in surrounding it with guarantees and safeguards, which he designed should protect the public and himself against fraudulent imitations; that he has shown it to be the only liquor in the world that can bo'uniformly depended upon as unadulterated; that he has challenged investigation, analysis, comparison, and experiment in all its forms; and from evory ordeal the preparation which bears his name, seal and trade mark, has come off trium? phant. He therefore feels it a duly he owes to his fellow-citizens generally, to the medical pro? fession and the sick, to denounco and expose the charlatans who counterfeit these evidences of identity, and he calls upon the press and the pub? lic to aid him in his efforts to remedy so great an evil. The following letters and certificates from the I leading physicians and chemists of this city will prove to ihe reader that all goods sold by the un? dersigned are all they arc represented to be. t'DOLPHO WOLFE.. I feel bound to say, that I regard your Schnapps as being in every respect pre-eminently pure, ami deserving of medical patronage. t all evcnis. it is the purest possible article of Holland Gin. here? tofore unobtainable, and as such may be safely pre? scribed by physicians.
