COLUMBIA. "Wednesday Morning, Jan. 15. 1868. TTl?c AVjn upon Cotton Culture-It? Probable Ocitrnotloii. Tho civil war would not Lave de? stroyed tbo culturo of cotton in the Southern States, had not radical le? gislation como to the aid of war and ? its ravages. Delusivo hopes of ne? gro -equality or suprernocy deranged tho labor which was necessary for the .cotton culture, and the cotton tax added to this, rendered it unremune ?xat^ve, The policy of England to ?opon new sources for cotton supply, is another cause of the loss of our .cotton market. Neither England nor tho radicals have exhibited foresight ia thus accomplishing the ruin of the d&otion culture in that region, which is peculiarly adapted to it by soil, colic?ate? labor and the habits and ?energy of the planters. The Eastern 'States and England he.ve, in cou scquenoe, lost the Southern trade. "The ?outh cannot purchase and pay lor the goods and merchaudizo for Saerly received from England, and from New York and New England. Neither can the South pay for the ?supplies of provisions and bread stuATs which it formerly received from ?the West. The entiro country, and all foreign countries with which we jure engaged in commerce, should be interested in sustaining the cotton production in our Southern and South-western regions. The National Intelligencer calls attention to the (movements among Northern manu? facturers, commencing lately at Pitts? burg, and now seconded every whero in tho West and East, which tend to tho relief of tho cotton staple from onerous burdens; but they do not far enough. Tho tax of 2}.< cents -pound takes from tho producers of the-orop of 1867 $23,000,000. This sum ought to be left iu tho hands of tho producers, as a means for at? tempting another crop. The objec? tion to it is, that speculators may bo benefited by it. The faot is, how? ever, that 2,000,000 bales of the crop - of the present season are still in tho li&nds of thc original producers, only -TiOO.OOO bales having come forward. This fact is attested by the New York financial Chronicle, which is accurate .-authority. But Congress refused to . Apply the repeal to the crop of tho year 1667, and have also unreason? ably delayed action on the repeal bill ?ill after the period of tho year when ?h.* planters must make their arrange sacnts for the coming season, by .firing labor, .tc. Various motives 3ifive been ascribed to tho Eastern ra.ticul politicians for their persistent 'hostility to the recuperation of . Southern prosperity and industry. .Sotno of their leaders, as we may see from their nets and speeches, enter? tain the hope thnt a great black em vptre will arise on the ruins' of the Southern States; n new Africa, to be governed by Africans, and to be sub? ject to the moral, social and political scteie.sts of Northern fanaticism, is to be legislated into cxistenco in the place of the white civilization in the South. The whites will thus be com? pelled to abandon tho country, and leave it to African barbarism, By maintaining in the Southern States a standing army of black voters, pro? tected Iry Government organizations ?and military force, this revolution eau be effected, und tho radicals be assured of perpetual control over the couutry. Therefore, it is the radical Stttders' doctriuc, that though slavery :s abolished, tho slave-masters are not yat subdued. There are others who really thought i.liat a successful competition with cotton could bc created in tho North by substituting for it Northern pro? ducts of wool and flax, and, perhaps, 3ther materials. It was confidently inserted that cotton had been a curse to tho country, and that in no point of view could it bo as beneficial to the Asoblic interests ns tho products of wool and flax. To encourago wool growing at the exponso of ootton growing became a leading object of ?Adical legislation. Heavy duties vore therefore imposed on foreign *;ocl, to tho encouragemout of the domestic product. But tho scheme 2>raotioally failed. Flax cotton was iricd and abandoned. The woolen manufactures did not thrive, and do? mestic wool fell in ?nice. According to Senator Sprogue, the wooley ma? nufacture is now more depressed than that of colton. As Congress insists upon drawing tho tax of $23,000,000 from the South upon tho crop of 1S67, it has been proposed to substi? tute for it, as an encouragement to tho production of cotton another ye r, a bounty upon tho next crop to the amount of two aud-a-half cents a pound. This would accord with tho protective theory. An advance to tho cotton-growing States, for the encouragement of the planting inter? ests, by way of a loau of Govern? ment credits, based upon tho crop, has also been proposed. If Congress rejects these propositions, thon it will follow that an appropriation of equal amount must be mndo for the desti? tute and suffering freedmen of the plotting Str.tcc. Ii that be also re? jected, a very large expenditure must bo made for the prevention of tho disorders which now threateu to rise, or the suppression of those which have actually arisen. LAND TO DE GIVEN AWAY.-The Fernandina Courier, of the 9th inst., co nt iii ns the two following items: Some of the very best land in Flo? rida, lyiug along the railroad, between Fernandina and Cedar Keys, is being selected for town sites and laid off in lots of twenty to eighty acres, to bo given free to actual settlers. These lands are especially suited to garden? ing and fruit-growing, nnd in this superb climate, with the advantages of rapid communication by ra\l and steamship with New York, and the benefits of thickly settled communi? ties, will be rapidly taken up and provo not only pleasant homes for tho occupants, but most profitable ones. There is not a better location in tho whole South for growing and shipping early vegetables than around Fernandina and along this railroad. At this time (January 8) all kinds of vegetables are growing in our gar? dens, untouched by frost. Green peas are in blossom and fit for the table. Tomato vines aro yet ripen? ing their second crop. Tho grass is green along our walks; tho Kweet singing birds fill tho air with their melody; the atmosphere is balmy as in vernal May and pure as only hero is kuown. The long fringed arms of tho numerous bunana trees are sway? ing slowly in the gentle breeze and motion away oil thought of care. But little labor is required to place a family in comfortable condition. Owing to our position, we can supply tho Northern markets without com? petition, and realize vast returns from merely a few acres. Every in? ducement will be held out to immi? grants. Persons desiring a good home, free of cost, should address tho Land Agent, of Florida Railroad, at Fernandina. We learn that the proprietors of thc railroad, with the view of colo? nizing their lands, have decided to give alternate lots of tw'cuty, forty and eighty acres to emigrants who will settle and make permanent im? provements on them. This is a move in the right direction, and, if enrried out successfully, will be of great benefit to the State, by introducing a thrifty and industrious white popula? tion, as well as add materially to the prosperity of the road. Could not the "give-away move? ment" be carried out advantageously in our own State? PARDONED BY THE PRESIDENT. - W. McMuhan, a native of Greenville District, who was convicted previous to tho war, on trial before Judge Ma? grath, of embezzlement of monejs from tho post office nt Greenville, and sentenced to ten years' imprison? ment, has received an uncondi? tional pardon from Preside ot John? son. The prisoner, daring thc war, effected his escape from jail, but was recently re-captured and ve-commit ted to jail iu Greenville, to serve ont the balance of the term of imprison? ment for whioh ho was sentenced. The City Council of Montgomery lins manfully refused to pay the printing bills of tho Sentinel, the official organ forced on them by the late Gen. Pope, under Order No. 49. This is well. The order compelled them to send their advertisements and rejiorts-so they did-but it said nothing about the payment, nor how they should be paid, or when. NOTICE.
