Under the system of slave labor, it I "was thought, and it may have been J so, that it was the interest of the Southern planter to raise cotton al? most exclusively, and buy his bread stuffs and provisions elsewhere. Wo always thought this was an error, even under tho oki system; but now 1 that plantations and farms have to be cultivated with free, labor, it is absolutely necessary that, there should be a diversity of crops. Thc South? ern people must make their own breadstuff's and provisions; other? wise, they cannot make cotton grow? ing ^profitable, and will be pinched for the necessary amount of subsist? ence. The experience of thousands will testify to the truth of these state? ments; and yet it is to be feared that ?thousands will rush headlong into thc cultivation of cotton, to the exclu? sion of other important crops, hop? ing that the price of the staple will more than remunerate them .for their departure from the above-named policy. In this connection, we notice that the Commissioner of Agriculture has in his report some suggestions which arc worth reproducing: "It is evident that the diversifica? tion of farm industry must be ap? plied to re-organized Southern agri? culture, with modifications such as climate and soil may indicate; and while cotton, as is boped and be? lieved, will ever be a prominent crop, and a sure reliance for immediate cash returns, it will never again over? shadow and dwarf other interests essential to permanent success in agriculture. And it is also equally apparent that a portion of the labor of these States will eventually be diverted from agriculture ani ex? pended upon other departments of industry, especially manufactures; and that the day is not far distant when a portion of this cotton A 'ill be exported from the States in which it is grown in the form of yarns and coarse fabrica of various grades and styles. And such a day will bring surer prosperity and more abundant wealth than ever blessed these States in the past. "The necessity of the introduction of improved farm implements in Southern husbandry is imperative. Year by year, in Western farming, has the economic value of labor-sav? ing appliances been cumulative. The increase of such machinery since 18(50, and the labor and money saved by it, are enormous. That which was to the Wost a necessity, from the scarcity of labor and high wages, has become equally indispensable to the South, from the same considerations. The difficulty of keeping down super? abundant growths of grasses and wools in the early part of tho season, and of picking the cotton in the later ; months, afford opportunities for the j employment and invention of mu- ! chinery which should prove an incal eulabie benefit to cotton production. ! "The interests of agriculture in thc Southern States, so injuriously affect? ed by the events of the past few years, demand the special attention of this department. Tin; deteriora? tion of sugar cane, a tendency to which in thc best varieties is str?ngly marked, bas progressed rapidly since 1860, and anew importation* of the ribbon-cane of Java is a desideratum of future success in 'sugar-planting' in the Lower Mississippi Valley. It might be well, also, to import some of the best,_ irieties of Egyptian cot? ton, for experiment in tho Gulf States." -<. . --- Dr. Hartnett, of Boston, got his feet en tangled in a hoop skirt the other day, and in attempting to extricate himself, fell and broke bis arm. The accident will teach him that hoop skirts aro a foreign power with which it is not ni way s safe to form entang? ling alliances. THE STAMP NUISANCE.-A corre spoudout writes: Is there any hopo that the annoying two cent tax on checks will be' abolished? It is full time this were done, as it is the meanest and most vexatious tux (to business men) that could be devised. We hope so, and base the hope on the fact that every man feels thc tax to be not only a clog to business, but an absolute nuisance, and if every constituent so feeling will make his sentiments known to bis Representa? tivo in Congress, there will go to Washington such an expression as can scarcely fail to induce that body to exempt cheeks from the necessity of a stamp, and also to dispense with their use on all the hand-to-hand transactions iu business. All the De? partment reports to Congress uuite in recommending a reduction of the number of taxable articles-first, be? cause tho greater thc number, the heavier the cost of collection; and second, because the great increase iu the growth of the returns of income tax, from $20,500,000 to over $G0, 750,000, warrants tho dropping of some of the items taxed. The r? dundant revenue proves that the taxes are excessive, and ought to be re? duced, aud the first lopped off should be those that tend to burthen and obstruct business and enterprise. Men's accounts aud men's business, which should be as private as possible, should be protected from clog or delay, as far as practicable, and reve? nue should, instead, be sought for in sources of a general nature. While onerous taxation is necessary to meet the public engagements and maintain the public faith, the country will, as it ought, be patient. But stamps on bills, stamps on checks, stamps ou receipts, and taxes on items iu the daily routine of business, as occupy? ing much time and liable to great ine? quality, should give place to objects more general in their use, and pro? ductive of revenue in larger volume. [ Ph Hade!ph ia Ledger. -< ? ? ? THE COTTON CROP.-Dr. J. S. Copes, an old aud intelligent mer? chant of this city, says the New Or? leans Bee, who has lately been travel? ing through the South, uses the following language in the course of an elaborate address delivered by him before the "Academy of Sciences of New Orleans," relative to his esti? mate of the current cottou crop: "Were I able in this paper to outer into a computation of the numerical force of the labor employed in the culture of cottou in 1S60 and in 1S6G, the conclusion to which I have come, that the current cotton crop of this country will not exceed ono mi?liou of bales, would be greatly fortified. I have made observations upon it, and kuow very well that white labor is doing more than it ever did beforo in producing cotton. But I also know that it has all along done very greatly more than it ever received credit for doing, and that,?as com? pared with the general cessation from field labor of the female negroes, it amounts to scarcely a serious matter for consideration." THE AMERICAN COMMISSIONERS TO MEXICO.-Our special telegram from Yera Cruz, dated December 4., by way of Mobile December 10, con? tains news of great importance. The Susquehanna, with Shermau and Campbell ou board, arrived off the city on Thursday, and the parties on board communicated with the Ame? rican Consul. On the night of Mon? day, the 3d instant, the vessel sailed for Brazos, where it arrived on Fri? day last. (Jenerul Sherman and Min? ister Campbell were to leave on Saturday for Monterey, by way of Matamoras. Contemporaneously with the arrival of the Susquehanna at Yera Cruz, a proclamation was issued declaring that Maximilian would not leave the country, but would resumo tlie reins of Government. In the meantime, the Emperor's baggage is being shipped for Austria, and the French troops are being concentrated preparatory to leaving. Gen. Sheri? dan arrived at Brownsville on ti e 6th, and placed Gen. Sedgewick under arrest. He also i. 'dereel the release I of Ortega.-Neir York Herald. I STOCK.-The Nashville Times, of ! the 7th inst., says: Heavy shipmeuts of stock South? ward have beeu going on this season the devastations of the war having created an active demand. Ninety-one horses and mules from Kentucky were shipped to Mont? gomery, Ala., on Wednesday, and on the samt! day six car loads of mules and one of horses arrived here by the Louisville and Nashvillo Railroad, and went South yesterday over the I Nashville and Chattanooga Road. The court and highest circles of i Paris arc now using, for mourning I stationery, paper of a violet tint. SPECIAL NOTICES. SWEET OPOPOSAS FROM MEXICO! New, very rare, rich and fashionable perfume.
