Thc New Orleans Times has the following remarks- relativo to the falso estimates of the cotton crop which have boen published in North? ern papers by interested parlies. We are of opinion, as we have always been, that cotton will maintain its present prices, and will, in all proba? bility, advance: The false statements put forth early in the season by interested New York speculators and Freedmen's Bureau agents have had a disastrous effect on all the cotton producing portions of the country. These esti? mates were, in some instances, made by crazy enthusiasts, who supposed that negroes, as freedmen, would prove far more industrious and re? liable laborers than they did while in a state of involuntary servitude, but for the most part th? y vfcre furnished with intent aforethought to deceive, and that intent has, unfortunately, been carried out with decided success. England, the great cotton consumer, believed till recently that the cotton crop of America would exceed 2.D00, 000 bales, ajul rested secure under the conviction that she could make her purchases to the best advantage late in the season, when the great bulk of the crop had been gathered and sent to market, lint the inte? rested Northern speculators knew bettor thi'n this, and after they had succeeded in depreciating the price of our great staple to the lowest pos? sible figure, they sent their drum? mers through the cotton States, and, taking advantage of the necessities of planters, made small advances on the growing crops, and purchased the product of whole sections of country, at figures which left thom a wide margin for profit. The English operators are now aware that they have been egregiously deceived in this matter, and are anx? ious to purchase, but the bulls and bears of the Northern gold market have played into each other's hands, to the disadvantage of their British cousins, and have so pulled down the price of gold and the rates of ex? change, that John Bull has now to pay an average of from three to four cents more per pound for cotton than it costs Jonathan, who pays in green? backs. This practical difference in price has operated sadly against Southern interests. The price of cot? ton is less in greenbacks than it should be in gold, considering the shortness of the crop, and the differ? ence between what the American manufacturers have paid and what English manufacturers will have to pay before the close of the approach? ing January, becomes clear profit and protection to the former. Wo trust that, before another busi? ness season commences, a better un? derstanding will exist between those who are chiefly interested in South? ern commerce and Southern agricul? ture. By ti isisting each other, our people can, every year, render them? selves more independent ; but if petty jealousies are to bo indulged in by rival cities and rival railroads, in the Sout:i. thc day of our deliverance from the heartless despotism of com? mercial task-masters becomes thereby postponed. When the Southrons bent their energies to affairs of stat es? manship, they were the rulers in Con? gress; let them now bend their ener? gies to the development of their material interests, and they will be? come rulers in commerce. Tiny have control of the earth's most valued staples-advantages of soil, climate and position-and all that is neces? sary to insure success is, a combined, honest, earnest effort. FOR SALE, .
