DANOEB 0? A COTTON MANIA.-Tho
Augusta (Qa.) Ch ron ida raises a note
of warning on the danger of too ex?
clusive 0 devotion to ootton-growing
UK .pproaching season. That paper j
says:
"With the H tuple ut twenty-five
cents, or even twenty cents a pound,
money oau be made by plauting, pro?
vided tho planter makes his own
provisions. We incline to doubt,
' however, if money eau bo made wlieu
all the corn, long forage aud provi?
sions for the planter's family and his
laborers have to bo bought ut tho
Eresent high prices. Neither do wo
elie vo th?t much olear money eau be
made upon rented lands. When the
rent is paid; the laborer paid, tho
provisions paid for, tho loss of work
animals, and the wear aud tear of
farming implements aro paid for,
there will bo little loft to tho profit
sido of the account. Our oyo has
just fallen Upon a state merit mado in
orto of uu; State exchunges, that a
tract of land ot f>85 acres, iu Polk
County, rented for ??2 fOO, or within
a fraction of ton dollars per acre.
Thc reason why it brought so much
is stated to be, because "it is among
the best cotton places iu tho State."
Now, when the router of that place
pays for his labor and provisions,
aud then deducts from his crop $2,700 I
for rent, wo shall bo greatly surprised I
if he has a singlo dollar lull in the
way of profits." ^_
GENEBAI. GRANT ABROAD.-The
London Spectator observes: "The
years during which President Grant
occupies the White House, will clear?
ly not be 'good' times for peculators,
or for disobedient officials, or for
persons who .violently disturb tho
public peace." In alluding to his
published correspondence, Ac., it
adds: "Gen. Grant comes out in these
letters and orders, and-no, not
speeches-sayings, a soldier politician
of the best sort, a man gentle, kindly
and considerate, but with u vein of
wrath in him, a man who surveys po?
litics as he would a valley, without |
seeing every tree, but missing no
strategetio point; a soldier who is
aware that there must bo force some?
where to keep society together, buta |
politician who is determined that
force shall bo law, framed aud modi?
fied by the representatives of the peo?
ple. We congratulate the United
States on a Premier who dislikes |
waste, even when the wasteful sup?
port his party, and will put down
murderers even when they plead the
sovereign rights of States."
GAMBLING IN GERMANS ANO NEW
YOIIK.-A New York correspondent
maintains that tho gambling at Ba?
den-Baden, Germany, is not nearly
so reckless as that observable in Wall
street, New York. He alludes to au
elegant chnrch building iu tho latter
city, towards tho erection of which
ono young mau gave S40,000. This
young man owned a fine country
seaton the Hudson, an elegant es
tablishmont in New York; had his
fast team on tho road, made, it was
said, seldom less than $25,000 a day.
Thirty days ago his name was good
for any ?1 mount at the bank. His
couutry house has gone, ho has given
up his city establishment, and he has
not now money enough to buy a bug
of outs for his fust team. Erie, and
the Pacific Mail carried them uuder.

WOMAN'S SUI-T'UAOE IN ENULA.NI>.
Tho movement in favor of women
voting is advaueing in England much
more decisively than in tho United
States. No less a man than Mr.
Gladstone has given it his approba?
tion so far that he thinks that widows
and spinsters who own property ought
to have tho right to vote upon it on
the same conditions asmen, but then
this opinion of the futon! English
premier was givcu just before, elec?
tion time, and it is just possible that
ho may lind it convenient to forget
or to ignore it by tho time he gets in
power.
HON. JOHN Mounts SKY'S SLAT TO ni:

Mu. EDITOR: Tho fair, which was
Riven by the ladies of Columbia, for
the benefit of the Ursuline Nuns,
has been a perfect success-realizing
$551, a much larger sum than could
have been expected ill our present
status.
I wish lo express, on the part of
those ladies, their mu ny aud sincere
thanks to the kind friends, who have
come forward on this interesting oc?
casion, and assure them of the
only acknowledgment now in the
power of the nuns to make, viz:
"earnest prayer that the Giver of all
good gifts, may bestow a hundred?
fold on their friends and benefac?
tors." It is to be devoutly wished
that, by some appropriation or other?
wise, this able corps of lady teachers,
whose lives are devoted to education
of young girls; should soon be placed
in a position to secure to societ}- such
an institution as they conduct, aud
on a larger scale. Wo have visited
thc Ursulines of Quebec-tho mother
bouse in this country-where they
have COO students, aud would like to
see such an institution here.

work on the new instititution was
performed by our tow.isman, Mr.
James Milne, and is exceedingly cre?
ditable to his ability as an artist and
expert. Messrs. Agnew & Co. have
done a great deni since their succes?
sorship to Hitchcock, to show they in
tend to supply the wants of Columbia
in their line of business; and we aro
perfectly satisfied that their efforts
will not go unrewarded) even in the
pecuniarily depressed condition of
our community. We suggest to them
a good old Latin motto for their
adoption. It may not be convenient
to their patrons if literally followed,
but it will certainly be profitable to
them: Jam forte in omnibus.
