?WU . - , jCOLUMBIA Wednesday Moiuing, Nov. 13.1867. Cotton Culture. Hot long since, wo published Borne ?Attiatics in. regard to the cost of ?swing cotton, tho average price ob , tawed for it, and tho consequent loss vt? ?hc planter. We And the position . JBjMftained by an orticlo in a Columbus fJUGasisflippi) paper, in which the stater asserts that very few planters, ottilie present price of tho article, -??d the great failing in ita produc? ion, will bo able to aquare up ac? .?.anta o? the first day of January, ?-*f-a GottO? ??iiU?? un i ?io ?d Tur lose than twenty cents per pound, .Aear of taxes, freight and commis v mano-and that will not pay where inri than four bales is raised to the Ml ur nr ; The writer sustains his position, 2fcy iciting the production of thirty ?hreo plantations, in two Counties of .IGgsisaippi. Beforo the war, the .---rop of cotton on these plantations --.ww.7,000 balee-this year they only ?produced 2,500 bales-at the same time, said orop was better th au the ' " ?general crop in the neighborhood. As ?V some ?rf these planters are giving ?one-third, and others one-fourth of their crops to the freedmen, not more than 1,800 bales will be realized by the planters from these thirty-three plantations. These 1,800 boles, esti? mated at $70 per bole net, will bring -#136,000; while the meat, corn, bag ,<jing, and-other expenses-the loss of ?flea, 'wear and tear of farming im ?pleseeata, &a, used in running these - (-plantations-will not, it is estimated, ?bo less than from 8200,000 to $250, -aOQO. If this estimate be correct -and it is from a planter-here is a j : Velear loss of $75,000 to $100,000. '.These calculations are very dis? couraging, and no doubt they ap proximate to the truth-so mach as to bave the effect of largely diminish - dng the production of the staple and tend to a diversification of Southern .agriculture. Wheat ought to be /plantedabundantly; horses, hogs and .cattle ought to be raised abundantly. The general production of cereals '?rill render us independent of buying -?er begging our Bubsistenco from loreign sources. Fruits, potatoes, (beans, peas, cabbages and onions, ?arin grow-hare as well as elsewhere, ?id should bo extensively cultivated. . "^Phcn raise a small snpply of cotton, . Jtot more than can be manufactured iTfikltomo, hi our own milla'and facto * ?eft. .In this way the Southern States . may become prosperous and inde? pendent; while if they cling to the apeliey of making cotton their chief production, and hold on to their "le?ge plantations, they must not only jbecoine impoverished, but, in a few years, will find themselves bankrupt. 'THE GRAIN CROP.-The monthly ceport of the Commissioner of Ag . . ?icultuto states that a larger wheat . ?snap never has been raised in this ?sauntry than during tho present sea .on, though it is not as Inigo as tho breadth sown might have led us to ...expect The most noticeable in ?treaso lias been in the Southern ?States, with the exception of Texas. .Oat? and rye are estimated above the j?ieM of last year, barely slightly ?below, beaus and peas are un ave? nge. In corn, tho cash value, and ftSte fattening and sustaining quali? t?s, are greater than last year, Sorgho cultivation generally is ro .?acud; buckwheat is un average crop, potatoes a poor one, and in tobacco .adecline is indicated. i o ? ? A CONSPIRATOR. -Tho Nul ional In tdligencer, of Saturday, has a remark? able editorial on Gen. Grant. It jgravsly intimates that ho has oncour taged >cortniu member? of the rump, as woll as less important personages, itt a conspiracy, by force, intimida sioa and tn rent, to prevent certain &igu functionaries from holding and exercising offices, trusts and places of monfidenco in the Government of the United States. It is alleged, more? over, that tho conspiracy referred to .is ?till on foot, notwithstanding the complexi?n of the recent elections, .and contemplates an early consum? mation. The Intelligencer goo3 on to show, ejecting an Act cf Congress, o? 1861, how these conspirators may bo pun? ished. We doubt the truth of such .charges against Gen. Grant. We are living in strange times. Coolies. There is much discussion as to the value of thia new class of labor?is for Southern ag; I lu?fcural, work-Borne regarding the experiment of their introduction as a failure, whilo others, who have them at work, pronounce j thom a co ax pie te t H ucee ss. Among the latter is Dr. Kittridge, of Lou? isiana. He obtained his laborers in Cuba, and the agent furnishing them stated the planters would not permit the best of these coolies to leave the island, payiug them from $15 to $25 per month in gold, rather than part with them. Dr. K. allows them $14 per month. They don't mind the sun "^hilc r.t ".vorI:, but, ? lieu wuikiug out pn Sunday, uso red umbrellas and fans. Their color is a light cop? per, hair straight and black, like the Indians, unmn shaving the head on tho sides and top, leaving a cue be? hind. They bathe often, and wear a white blouse: Dr. K. gives tho fol? lowing about their characteristics ns laborers: "They ore neat cooks, good gur denors, and ingenious, and whatever they do is done well, but not quickly. Those on tho plantation speak Span? ish, and a Creole manages them, act? ing as interpreter. They are always quiet, working steadily tho whole day long, and peaceable and satisfied, without murmuring to do whatever is required, working as freely in knee deep ditch mud as iu tho He'd. "They cut up every weed with great care, (different from any garden? ers,) not permitting n blade to escape their notice; and with this caution, of course, they do not go ahead as fast us Sambo, who is much more careless in his task. Although it became ne? cessary to work rapidly ou account of the grass iujuring the crop, the coolies could not bo induced to slight their work. They worked among the sugar cane with their lingers, pulliug ont all the grass and heaping the hill? handsomely with their hoes." As regnrds the alleged stealing dis? position or malicious propensities of this new class of laborers, Dr. Kit tridge believes they will give their employers no more trouble than the whites or blacks. Such are his views after a fair trial, and he thinks they will be the best laborers for Louisi EMIGBATION TO LIBERIA.-Among tho recent arrivals at. the Mills House, we notice that of Mr. Wm. Coppin ger, Agent of tho American Coloniza? tion Society. We leuru from hf m that the ship Golconda, from Liberia, is expected here daily, and arrange? ments are being perfected to have the passengers and everything ready to go oh board immediately on her ar? rival, so as to not delay her departure longer than may be absolutely, neces? sary. About four hundred emigrants, mostly from Georgia, are expected to take passage at this port. I Charleston Courier. HOMICIDE IX SUMTER.-We learn that, on Monday last, a dilHculty occurred in tho village of Sumter, S. C., between Mr. Joseph Hodge and Mr. Charles Durant, in which it appears that Mr. Durant was shot by Hodge, and died shortly afterwards.
