m at Washington to be made acquainted with the ^probable policy of Congress on this subject, as foreshadowed by thc bill which passed the Senate in March last. Tko early hour at which lt ls necessary to put the NEWS to press, io order that our myriad . readers may take their favorite newspaper with their breakfast rolls and coffee, makes it impossi? ble to publish la full the remainder of Mr. Grant's message. We, however, as a matter of courtesy, append an abstract which ls certainly shorter and perhaps moro interesting than the document itself: * - Ia regard to thc French ocean cable company, which has exclusive rights, calling off thc United States from competition upon thc shores of Prance, the President recommends fierce legisla? tion "to protect the rights of the citizens or the United States and thc sovereignty of thc nation against such an assumption." The principal powers have *)eeii Invited to cm ' power their representatives at Washington to agree upon uniform regulations for thc pro? tection and comfort of emigrant passengers. Tao President eulogizes thc good effect of ? home manufactures, and urges the necessity of . looking to new marketa for the sale of our surplus products, advising that China and Japan receive especial attention. At the same time, the Presi " dent advises snch legislation as will forever pre cludc thc enslavement of the Chinese upon our soil. The President says: On my assuming thc responsible duties of Chief Magistrate of the United States, lt was with the conviction that three things were essential to Its peace, prosperity and fullest development: First among these is strict integrity in fulfilling all our obligations; second, to secare protection to the person and property of the citizens or the United States, in each and every portion of onr common country, wherever he may choose to move, with ont reference to original nationality, religion, color or politics, demanding of him only obedi? ence to the laws and proper respect for the rights .f others; third, the union of all the States, with eqaal rights, indestructible by any constitutional means. Tu secure the first. Congress has declared that the principle and Interest of the debt shall be paid In coln, and has provided the means of payment. The administration has directed ito- efforts to se? curing the honest collection and economical dis? bursement of the revenue and has dismissed cr retained officials for the good of thc service, and Irrespective of the political interests of the party. The President urgently recommends the total repeal of the Ten ure-of-offl co law, and advises that the Indians be placed in large reservations, , with ample protection, with the hope that they . nay be induced to set np in time territorial gov ' emments of their own. A liberal policy toward the navy is recommend? ed, as ls also the total abolition of the franking privilege. A liberal appropriation to the Agricul? tural Bureau ls strongly advised, and it is stated that the salaries of many of the Important officers of the government are wholly inad?quate-among these officers are thc Justices of thc Supreme Oeurt In conclusion, the President says: There are many subjects not alluded to in this . message, which might, with propriety, be intro? duced, but I abstain, believing that yoar patriot? ism and statesmanship will suggest the topics and the legislation most conducive to the Inter? ests of the whole people. On my part, I promise a rigid adherence to the laws, and their strict en? forcement. U. S. GRANT. THE NATIONAL BOARD OE TRADE. RICHMOND, December G. Buffalo, N. Y., was appointed as the next place of meeting. General Danby was Invited to a scat on the fleer. ? resolution was adopted that Congress be me? morialized to Improve the harbors of Mobile, Rich? mond, Savannah and Charleston, and to remove the obstructions to navigation in the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and to require that the bridges over those rivers be of sufficient height and locat? ed by government engineers. Resolutions were reported recommending, first, tn? restoration of the specie standard of value; second, the issue of six per cent, gold bonds, payable In thirty years, to be excbangable for greenbacks at par; third, the establishment of sew national banks in sections which have not their dne proportion; fonrtb, that national banks be required to retain the coin Interest received by them until specie payments are resumed. Op- - dyke, of Kew York, and Hastie, of South Caro Una, offered a minority report, approving the pr?sent financial policy of thc government, and advocating its continuance. A long discussion followed.

THE SE A^I ST. A WE) QUEST J OM. Thi Contemplated Change from Sea Island? to Uplands In the Long Cot? ton Sections. TO TUE EDITOR OK THE NEWS. ; A change ia thc agricultural pursuits of a people is a matter of grave moment, and no slight or incidental causes should move thereto. On the other hand, to persist in a losing business, is woree than idle. It becomes a duty under such circumstances bravely to ac? cept the necessities of tbc case, and embrace the new field of industry with a manly confi? dence in ourselves to wring from thc occasion an honest subsistence, if not riches and honor. Our coast, at least, pcrchance__in thc mcrao ry^f^fe'vv'ptlll living, m ad c'a rapid and com? plete* change from indigo to long cotton, so that the indigo vats, where we watered our horses in boyhood and marvelled over, were thc every-day business resort of oar grand ouhers. j So again thc inland swamps were entirely j deserted in the rice culture, and river plan? tations substituted at an enormous outlay in reducing to cultivation the tangled bog prairies-whether we regard the wide and ex? tensive canals, thc thcading quarter drainage, the treacherous tidal banks, calling for no j HtUe engineering skill, and immense and con? tinuous labor in construction, improvement I and repair. Thc change from indigo to cotton I heard, in youth, discussed before the St. Helena Is- j land Agricultiirar Society by those familiar I with thc management and profits of each j crop. The wholesome economy of the change I wasen?reiy indorsed by the informed deba I tors of thc question. I Thc great success in the change ot rice I fields is known to all. Yet in its incipiency I what a huge venture was IL It is now con? templated to substitute upland for sea islands. Shall we do it, and to what extent T This ls j worthAconsldering. In thus doing, we must 1 consult the past as well as the present. P This subject is not new. It was gravely j I mooted, and, indeed, tried, to some extent, in j J Lower St Luke's some thirty years ago. I be- j I lieve the experiment was made here, and then j I all along thc coast. It was not continued. J The low price of sea islands hod Induced the j I abandonment thereof ; there were not a few I I potent reasons tor resuming its cultivation. J I They, amongst otherp, were these : j The plantations on the coast at the time J j were crowded with laborers, (Florida being J j then bnt little better than an Indian wild.) I I The sea island cultivaUon involving a small j J acreage, in comparison with uplands, it was j J found necessary, In adopUng the latter, cither j j to increase thc area hy purchasing lands or by j I planting thc fields over without fallowing. J The first was not feasible, for there were little J I or no lands in market, and those that were J I could not OR had at prices bearing any proper | j relation to the value ol lands in the interior, j j Then, if thc upland system of cultivation j I practiced at the time, with shovel, plough, Ac., j I was Introduced on our fields, taking up from j j year to year our loose, friable soil, rapid lin-1 j poverishment was sure to ensue, besides cans- j j lng the lands to sob in wet seasons, and thus j j stripping the plants of their fruit The culU- J I vation adapte 1 to sea islands was doubtless j J found not suitable to uplands, for i have been J j informed by a highly Intelligent and prac- j j ?cal planter, who moved from the co.iM I j to SaundersvlhV, Ga., not long 'before tho J I war, that he had a small piece of upland J J cotton worked there by one of his coast j J slaves in tho most approved low country style, J I and found to his surprise that lt was an utter 1 j failure IQ comparison with the cotton worked j I in the usual manner, ft is more than pro-1 I bable our planters made the same mistake In j j supposing what, "was sauce for thc goose j I was sauce for thc gander." He this as it may. j In the meantime sea islands rose in market I I value. The common class of uplands then I j planted could have no comparison in product- j I lveness to improved varieties of short cotton j I since introduced, indeed had little advantage I I iu this regard over certain productive varie ties of sea islands then planted-thc "Little j I Black," and others. Many productive and finer j selections of sea Islands, of high market value, were also Introduced at or about this time, j Then, too, the system of manuring began to bo j more generally practiced. So sea Island etti- J tore took a new impetus and grew apace with the fertilization of tho soil, which became a J subject of great interest, caJ found a more J careful development, on tho whole, on Edlsto Island, thongh possibly carried by individuals elsewhere to a grenier extcut thau was prac ticed even on this once favored und beautiful island, so well known as the garden-spot ol' thc j State. Notwithstanding this recurrence to sea j Islands might seem to indicate its greater adaptability and profitableness, in thc opinion j of the olden time plauters, which, doubtless, j was the case In their situation, yet I am rc-1 minded of tho oft-repeated remark of the upland planters qf oar district, who could raise either vorioty on their lands. They used to say that whenever coast qsgioea aro sold at the courthouse upland planters nearly always bid them off over tho heads of tho coast planters. The opinions of theso men wore worth far more than tho asking, and I re? garded their views in this direction as of great favor at the time. With this brief outlino of past experiment and opinion, what of the facts of the day ? Do they Justify thc change T Our circumstances differ much lu material particu? lars i rom the past. We no kvjer have troops of 6laves on our backs, nor are wc forsooth any longer on theirs. Our fields aro wido open before us, labor comparatively 6carcc, our lands at merely nominal value, uplands greatly out? rank us In comparatively market values, and there ls no possible chance, for years at least, of realizing anything like tho production de? manded in this great staple. Fertilizers may enhance the production, but the cotton, after all, htts to bo picked, so that the available amount of labor lu gathering the crop must, to a great extent, limit tho practical amount ol' supply. Of course, this remark must be some? what qualified, for, with cotton to waste, it Is but reasonable to supposu more can be gather? ed to the hand with no greater diligence. With full black labor you cannot altogether apply thc incentivo lo iucreased diligence which might be supposed by those unacquainted with lt. Uplands, therefore, rauBt maintain Utelr own In market. Now, wo have labor on the coast which, In tho main, cannot bo got away for love nor money. It'ts, therefore, u labor at hand which must bi; used whe; e It is or not at all. Our lands arc open to ono staple or thc other, and should we go into uplands and succeed in raising line crops, wo luve facilities for gathering not en Joyed to th;' same extent elsewhere. Even with this, however, our amount ol* available labor come < short-of our available landa, and If we can adopt a cultivation which will spread, with the sumo amount of human Lb ir ln ercaned ansi of crops over our lands, and that by tho use of Implements and animal power, it ctnno but appear on ;.he fa;e to bo the m:>re econom eil use of oar estates. This pri'O i Jarte view of the maller, how? ever, will not f"o on BO grave a subject. Then; a:v unde yin ; mac ica! queiLons which must bj carei -Hy examine J. I have been at the pa ns, c'u.-ing (he past sea sou, to review UJJ titi through this v/hole utb Ject. Haring resided at Abbeville Courthouse where, in the village itself, many little fields of cotton are planted, I could carefully ob? serve the growth and cultivation of the plant, both the common and improved varieties, at roy leisure, and make such minute and pains? taking Inquiries in detail as to lead mc to uni? form conclusions in many important partic? ulars : snch as the efficiency of the sweep in uso then and its draft on the animal-the compar? ative prolificacy ol common and improved va? rieties ot cotton-thc capacities of enduring great reverses of season and rough handling the recuperative capacity of the plant when neg? lected or injured by foul work-the average number of plants toa given area and the num? ber of pods to the plant-the possible results with high fertilization- the capacity of plants to hold the fruit put out,-all of which, in connec? tion with my experience as a long cotton plan? ter, afforded me varied and solid data for form? ing reliable conclusions. I was agreeably surprised to find, on consul? tation with practical men of valued experience, who assured mc how near my inquiries in mi? nute detail had led me to truth. Let mc state here, that I have not been driven by the recur? rence of the worm to the advocacy of cultiva? ting uplands; nor yet by a low estimate of our capacity to produce sea islands, ai? my previ- j ous article has shown. An experiment this season of a few acres in extra fine sea island cotton, fertilized lo the extent of ten pounds to aero, and put in and cultivated entirely without the usc of the plough, has given such remarkable results, in view of severe loss from rust or blight, and partial injury from worms, that I cannot but recognize the fact (thus far disclosed) of our being able to raise much larger crops ol sea inlands on a small scale and carefully handled than I would care to express. This patch, after 15th June, was managed simply by gene? ral directions, but strictly according to the same; was gathered entirely by freedmen un? der the colored leader; kept under his key until my return In November, when I found at least a hundred pounds of lint to thc acre, beau? tifully gathered, and this of cotton selling as high as 12 10 last year. This crop was made on land that had been hacked for three years previously in freedmen's patches of corn, Ac, and on land predisposed to rust. It suffered from long drought, followed by a heavy rain. Thc circumstances were Just such as to induce what transpired, and parties observing thc crop at thc time considered it utterly destroyed, though an intelligent friend, previous to this Inquiry, hod pronounced it the most beautiful cotton ho ever saw grow. I think, from care? ful inspection, the crop must have lost at least a half. It, however, has exceeded by forty to fifty per cent, a patch of cotton growing in tho pamc field on better land and of more pro? ductive variety. This latter patch was not fertilized in any way; was well cultivated, though possibly worked differently from thc j former. I la view of this striking result, I am yet In favor of going into uplands to a certain extent, for with a high average crop of sea islands we will possibly suffer as much loss from reduced p-lccs as we have done from worm. This ls owing to the whole crop h ing in the hands of one or two buyers. Wo are hedged In a corner. Put if wo adopt tho proposed policy wc can escape both the Egyptians and thc Philistines, and press such portion of thc crop as we eha?! raise in sea Islands to remunerative figures. In order to reach safe conclusions, it ls ne-1 Cossory to answer satisfactorily the following questions: Will lue aplauda grow In long-collon regions j comparatively as well as in thc Interior? Will the individual stalks produce with as comparatively as many pods and as large as In tlie Interior? Will they produce as many pods a.'< sea island ? Will the uplands admit moro stalks to a given area, and to what extent, than sea Islands ? What ls thc comparative weight ot an up? land and sea Island pod ? What number of average pods of each va? riety does it take to a pound of clean cotton ? What Is tho comparative cost of gathering i and preparing lor market the two varieties ? What ls tho comparative time of maturing for the same and getting the crops to market? Wiil shallow cultivation, with sweeps, help I our fields In the interior, and what effect will it have in impoverishing soil in comparison with j hoe work alone ? What arc our advantages in fertility of soil, our natural resources for enriching the same, and Fupcrior economy in transporting mercan? tile manures? With what comparative efficiency may these mercantile manures be used with ns ? What arc our advantage? in raising cattle, and henoo In soiling our flekl9 or "running pens?" What is tim comparative enanco In escaping ravage of worm ? What is thc comparative capacity lu holding fruit put out, and ol recuperating from injury received from foul work or otherwise ? What are the comparative chances in main? taining market value ? What superior opportunity is afforded in cul? tivating, by one variety 07cr tho other, In at? tending provision crops, Ac. ? To what extent would It be safe to go for the preseut in making the chango ? I propose hereafter to answer these ques? tions at length, and I promiso to convince any but an old or obstinate man that the positions I take arc tenable beyond dispute. JNO. W. li. POPB. another View of thc Case. BEAUFORT, 8. C., November 20. TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEWS. Notwithstanding tho past season has boen considered the most favorable for tho produc? tion of long staple cotton which we have had for several years, the question arises, and with a little force, shall wc continue ita cultivation? Though a severe drought, extending through August and September, (so extraordinary ut that season,) will account, in some degree, for tho disappointment of the planter, whose crop was so promising even to the cud of .Inly; and though, in some cases, the caterpillars ure charged with the destraction ofusmAll portion, and the early frost muy l'ave further reduced tito y leid, still, the shortness of thc crop must bc otherwise explained. Have wo any adequate means of ascertaining the extent of tito stoat ctije? Nut only are our fields exposed to dep rudatinn* by night, but oven while engaged in picking for their employer, the negroes carry o.T to their homes pockets well Oiled with tho precious staple, and, in a variety of of her ways, manage U> abstract, in ttnall quanti? ties, enough to materially reduce the income ol' tho sorely disappointed planter. Now, de? tection is so difficult, and redress so uncer? tain, it behooves us seriously to consider what we can profitably substitute as a crop. For som.! years past prices !iu7o ruled so high that thc planters contd afford to havo a large share stolen whenever Iiis crop vas not unusually small; but now that ordinary cottons are worth no more than forty or fifty cents, (and we do not lure .stop to consider the causes of this re? daction,) it is manifest that no one can pay tim ottrrent rates of labor, have his work (lune lu a slovenly manner, lose one-third of lils crop by theft, nnd support, himself on the remain? ing two thirds, except ut prices much above those now obtained. If cotton tuu-it bo planted, let ?thc "upland." T <? bulk bein r so m ach gr,-aler, the aggregate i mount, OJ til ?fl mus. bo (moAldorably le?;; i*ud this especially applies to the petty thefts men? tioned. There would not bo one half the in? ducement te pocket a pound of short staple that there would bc to take off a pound of long, worth ten or fifteen cents in the seed. More? over, the price, in proportion to thc yield, is vastly in favor of the short. I am satisfied that there is no remedy for the stealing; and do not sec that the Legislature can provide any which would prove adequate, should it desire to do \ so. Our need is thc moral reform of the ne? gro. This, alas, we cannot hope for. It may be that this portion of the State is especially cursed. I believe it ls. One thing is certain, a large part of the cotton made neve finds lt? way to market otherwise than through the door of the barn. Let it be explained as it may, it is patent to our observation that the morals of the negro are worse than they were in days of . YORI. COMMERCIAL NEWS. Exports.
