lic meetings in the park. Until tho ques?
tion bas been decided, no further meeting
will be held, except one on the afternoon
of the 30th of July, by arrangement with
the Government. " This statement, how?
ever, is contradicted in a letter from Mr.
walpole, who states that no promise bad
been given to hob! meetings, but that the
Government merely promised to withdraw
the police and military under express sti?
pulation that no attempt would be made
to insist, upon the part of the opposition,
to hold meetings until the legal truest ion
had been decided.

The Truest Independence.
We would by no means under-rate
tho importance of establishing manu?
factories of every description in the
South. It ought to be done; but
I when accomplished, is the South then
i practically more independent of the
North? Is it not, on the contrary, a
? well settled fact, that the very goods
produced by our Southern factories,
although consumed in part at home,
travel first to New York to find a
market, and are there bought of the
jobbers by our own tradesmen, and
brought home again to be retailed to
Southern consumers? We aro under
j a very erroneous impression if this
has not been the usual course with
Southern manufactured goods, and
if, in consequence, they do not pay
as great a tribute to Northern mid?
dlemen as the products of tho field.
- There is a far more simple and
effectual road to Southern industrial
and social independence, if our peo?
ple would but travel it. It is the
road of an old-fashioned, dignified
personal and oocial economy. Dur
in g our fruitless struggle for politico]
separation, tho South was able tc
maintain independence, to a great
degree, of the whole outside world,
and this while so large a portion o?
our able-bodied population wer?
bearing arms. How much more now
when all can be at work, and everj
farmer can buy the few implement
and materials necessary to convenien
and elegant household manufacture)
very cheaply at the nearest shop?
We know not what others may thinl
about it, but, to us, the gay apt. arel
j particularly of our women living ii
tho cities, is, in several respects, i
I very unwelcome sight. In the firs
place, wo strongly suspect that it i
j extravagant, or, to speak more plainly
I involves an outlay which husband
and fathers cannot afford. We inclin
1 to the opinion that the majority o
I our people of business, as well a
planters, ore poor, and ought not, i:
! respect to their own comfort an
1 prosperity, to ape tho fashions of th
I Northern nabobs who have been accu
I mulating wealth while oUr peopl
have been losing the little they hac
In tho second place, this dashing
I flaunting and butterfly apparel i
becomes the condition of this sec
tion of the country. The South i
now the sport of her enemies. Whe
Holy Writ wishes to characterize th
extremest woe which can befall a pee
plc, it speaks of them os "in til
hands of those who hate them;" ant
it seems to us, no sensible person, i
or out ?f the South, can doubt (
deny that this, to a lamentable e:
tent, is our unhappy conditioi
When, therefore, we see the lovel
wives and daughters of the Soul
tricked out, at such a time, wit
flaunting and ill-assorted braveries
the Northern markets, it seems to i
that they are not dressed in harmoi
with the occasion and the cireur
stances.
Had our people, women as well
men, when they had found thei
selves crushed by Northern powe
and the birth-right of political fre
dom lost,, retired to their farms ai
their merchandize, determined
practice a Spartan simplicity ai
economy, and compensate, as far
possible, the loss of civil freedom
the duties and enjoyments of a <3
mestic life, tho course, it seems to i
would have been harmonious wi
true dignity and the heroic records
the most unfortunate of all wars. 13
to rush into an imitation of our cc
querors-to buy with so much eag>
uess their showy trappings, and a
. their fashions with assiduous ze
was not in harmony with the digu
and independence ol' the Southe
character. Had we continued c
homespuns and jeans and appli
ourselves with manly energy to sup]
our own food as well as clothing

cepted to upon the part of conquere
would have been most consist
with self-respect-would have con
ponded with our impoverished con
tion, and, we are sure, would hi
insured tho respect of tho wo
for us.
If we are incapable of such a deg
of self-denial, as individuals, it i
waste of breath to talk of achiev
sectional independence by start
work-shops. They will never be
to touch tho case. The moro wo
shops and factories wo start,
closer probably will be our interco!]

upon the North. It is in tho nat
of business to strengthen all si

The Cotton Crop.
The Houston (Texas) Telegraph, ol
the 24th, says:
Gentlemen from every section of
the State, with whom we have con?
versed, represent the cotton as very
promising. The breadth of land in
cotton is large, and the weed thrifty.
On many plantations, the bolls aro
beginning to open. The great dan?
ger apprehended is from thc ravages
of the worm. The existence of the
worm, in plantations on the coast
country, has been announced for
three or four weeks. They have not
been as destructive, by any means, as
anticipated. From many fields, they
have disappeared, though their re?
appearance, in larger numbera, and,
of course, with greater damage to the
crops, is much and justly feared. A
planter, whom we conversed with
yesterday, reports his having seen
them on his plantation, on the Colo?
rado, a few miles below Columbus.
From present appearances, he antici?
pates they will make a dean sweep
of his cotton, and, also, of that ou
other plantations in his neighbor?
hood. As the more interior districts
of tho State are much less subject to
the ravages of the cotton worm than
the coast Counties, we may pretty
safely hope that tho aggregate crop
of Texas will be considerable.
The New Orleans Picayune, of the
28th, has tho following:
THE COTTON "WORM.-There ap?
pears to bc a great deal of anxiety,
on both sides of the river, about the
cotton worm. A short time ago, it
was ann unced to have made its ap?
pearance near Nachitoches, and then
it was authentically denied. And so
it has been in many places, both in
this State and in Tex is. This morn?
ing, was handed to us, by ene of our
most respectable firms, a letter, dated
Natchez, July 25, in which the writer
says:
We learned, yesterday, that the
genuine cotton worm had made its
appearance on several plantations be- .
low here; and, if they should spread,
as they usually do, commencing so
early, we feel that they will entirely
destroy the crop. There is no mis
tako about the appearance of this
worm. One was brought to town by
Mr. G. W. Green and examined by
Dr. Harper with a microscope, and
found to be the genuine cotton worm.
We will write you further on Satur?
day.
THE RIOTS AT NEW ORLEANS.-The
negro riots at New Orleans are the
results of tho efforts of the radicals
.to breed mischief between the whites
and blacks at the South. The revi?
val of the old scheme of a negro con?
vention was undoubtedly part of a
plot to excito tiie people. That the
rt dicals knew all about it in advance,
is evident from the recent speech of
General Banks upon the Mississippi
levees. He opposed tho appropria?
tion for the levees on the ground
that the negroes of the South would
soon rise against "their oppressors,"
and that the levees would again be
destroyed during the struggle; and
he concluded by promising the blacks
the assistance of the Government
when tho contest came. These in?
cendiary remarks clearly foreshadow?
ed the present riots. When the con?
nection of General Banks with the
original convention, whose revival
has caused all this trouble, is remem?
bered, his speech is the more signi?
ficant.
In the war of races which the radi
cals ave seeking to inaugurate, the ne
groes will certainly be annihilated, j
TJbe fate reserved for them under
radical rule is that which the lu- j
dian s encountered under the tender
mercies of the Puritans. The New
Orleans riots are but the beginning
of the annoyances to which the
country will be subjected so long as
tho destructives continue to stir up
strife by trying to force tho blacks
into a social and political equality
with the whites. Such an equality
can never be brought about in this
generation or the next. The majority
of our people consider it contrary to
tho laws of nature. Neither can tho
radicals create any sympathy for the
negro by claiming that only rebels
and copperheads have' any antipathy
to him. In Boston itself, the very |
hot-bed of radicalism, a negro is not
permitted to sit at the samo table
with tho whites. A wealthy colored
mau, from Liberia, has just made the
experiment, and has been excluded
from the hotels and boarding-houses.
It is useless to arguo against nature.
The new civil war may come, but the
negroes will be destroyed and tho
radicals will reap no political benefit
from the disturbance, and may think
themselves happy if they escape tho
lamp-posts.-New York Herald.
ORANGES.-There is a good pros?
pect at present for a remarkably largo

Build a small fire under each tree,

cient to send considerable heat
