The white-coated philosopher of nhe New
York TlHbunc gives tho following sensible
advice'to his brethrdh ofthet??utb;1'
Hardly a Southern paper reaches us but
has editorial comment of sotno sort ou tho
prospective crop of "I860. It is geuerolly
ooncoded that it will be large, if the season
is at all favorable. Some editors have tho
sagacity to see.that buying so much about a
great crop this year will^ have a bud effect
on that part of the crop of 18(38 which re?
mains unsold.
Now, frionds at tho Sontb, before jour
double plows have thrown ?ll the lund into
ridges for cotton rows, take,time and give
this whole business1 Of agriculture . u sober,
second thought. You have just 09100 qut
of a great war, in which you were worsted,
The weakest thing in the ?putharn. military
service during that war wn? ita commissa?
riat. A strictly agricultural peopl?r having
as much pride of aeres as any landed aris?
tocracy in tho world, were, from the first,
and in all jtagos of a four years' strife,
weakened, hampered, thwarted, demoral?
ized, and finally defeated, for wan t of beof,
oorn, wheat, bay and oats.
K great war is like a severo illness-it
tries the constitution 'and unmasks tho
weakness of tho [system. The agricultural
system of tho South has been proved defec?
tive, because in a protracted fight the breach
app?arej? tber^'flrst. .Now what ?3 tho great
characteristic of planting? It is, nud from
the first has. beoo, tho deriving of a largo
income in clear mo ney fro m a -brotid surface,
br fhe,sale of vegetable products. A small
planter is one whoso account sales of cot?
ton or tob?ceo, rice or sugar, do not figure
np more thati $5,000. The sales of the
large plauters rango all tho way from $5,000
to 3100,000. A few-a very few-Southern
proprietors recoived over 8100,000 from a
single crop. That mode of deriving an in?
come may have been connected with tho
character and status of the laborer, but such
connection was not inseparable. A slave
ooald cradle wheat or fattou hogs, if ordered
to, just as well as he could pick cotton or
sucker tobacco. Slavery had inherent sins
enough, without charging it with blunders
that were not, in the nature of things, in?
separable from unpaid labor. From the
time of Pocahontas tho Southern domain
was divided into largo estates. Those who
surveyed and plotted it, felt os Brutus did
about Caesar's body:
"Let us carve him as a dish fit for tho
gods-not hew him like a carcass for tho
bounds."
These broad areas were cleared and
cropped by sport-loving men, for whose
ears the baying of a pack of fox houuds was
sweetest music. Put a man with these tastes
at the ceutre of a 1,200 acre tract, and what
will ho do? Ho will have as few inside
fences as possible; be will make his money
on a crop that will cost him tho least time,
or planning or worry. Ho will say dum
vivimus, jivamus-"after us tho deluge."
Talk to him of rotation, fertilizors, bone
dust, the foot of the sheep having gold be?
neath it-he answers you by a blast on his
hunting horn. "My niggers know how to
mako cotton." These sevon words were
tho doom of true progressive agriculture
South of Mason and Dixon.
The inducements that draw tho Southern
agriculturist toward cotton-fields aro very
great. Ho is in debt. Ho wants carriage
horses to replace those which Bragg, 01
Johnson, or Loo broke down dragging can
nou. Ho is living in a cabin, and ?vonId
like to do something with those ghostly und
blackened chimney-stacks. The saws of uh
gin-stand aro bent and rusty. His press ii
rude uud slow. His mules uro stiff, and his
plows worn; his tobacco sheds went foi
camp-fires. Wo admit that it would be a
help on your place if yon could sell ?100 bale;
next December ut two bits a pound. Bul
let us reason about it. You do not propost
to move West. You know of no good cot
ton or tobacco land that is cheaper that
your own plantation. Besides, you huvo nc
money to go on. If you leave your phil
dren anything, it must be in the acres ovei
which you walk. If you drain those acrei
of the last ton of potash and phosphorus
they contain, you leavo to those who cami
after you a wido waste of broom-sedge auf
stuutod pines-a heritage of briers, ant
gullies, and rotten fences. No, gontlemon
you will be wiser and more provident that
that. You will see that while there is somi
money in cottou and tobacco, thero is in i
little truo wealth or power, little of tba
which makes nut irina great and keeps thou
so. The South has never been sufficient!,
devoted to the production of articles o
prime necessity. Mankind would bo botte
off if frost or worms sboold destroy ever,
tobacco plant that sprouts this spring. Cot
tou is a very important textile; but nation
were clad, and well elad, before Eli Whit
ney was boru. Agriculture means the cuUur
of tho fields, not skimming and dosolutin
thom. Enjoying the best climate and plow
ing the best soil on the continent, th
Southron ato imported bread, drank in
ported wine, gave his hands imported pori
shod them with imported leather, an
buckled au imported saddle on the back <
a horse that had traveled 1,000 milos Soutl
ward to find a purchaser. When such
peoplo went to war with States that fed on
clothed them, the result was inevitable. Ji
lins Cicsar, with his tenth legion, oould hat
delayed that exohange of notes at Appi
muttox Court House, but he could not hui
made it impossiblo.
In profound peace, with a strong, ellen
vigilant man at tho wheel, the couutry
entering upon a ducado of material pru
pol ity und development that will bo mo
nmazing than the magnitude and tho obs
uncy of tho recent strife. What the Sou
wau ts ubovo all other things, is not disfra
chisement or enfranchisement, or a man
tho Cabinot, nor oven ? high price for good
middling, bot an agrioultural system that is
true, just, and lasting. Her land baa bad
no Sabbath; there bas bjeen no restoration.
Tb o balance between tho living and tho dead
products of faining was destroyed and must
bo regained. No landstthat are ?not often
rfeucwcd ,by the mud of iuuudn|ions can
Survive Such an exnausuve,5uocession as the
planter bas required of bis cotton and to?
bacco fields.
A lost fertility must bb restored. That
savagery of broom-sedge and brier-thickets
must be abolished. But the purchase of n
few thousand tons of guano, will not work
the desired change. Those phosphatic stones
oh Ashley River alone will not do it The
Si.itu thinks she needs manufactures-and
so she does. But nrtizans and operativos
will not move there till good food and good
cloth are loss costly. These will not be more
abundant till there are moro good barns and
well-designed farm-yards; till those poor,
wild oows are replaced with Durhams, and
Herefords, and Alderneys; till those razor?
back hogs are killed, aodSufiblks and Ches?
ters take their place; till they havo fatter
chickens und moro of thom; till potatoes,
and cabbages, and apples are cheaper. Cot?
ton always was a weak king. He was full
of pride, and vanity, and weakness. Ho
urged bis subjects into an unequal strife,
and then showed no iuflucuco at courts to
muke alliance or secure open ports. Ho
gave tho planter's family pocket-money, a
andsome carriage, and a heritage of barren
fields. If ever king nt all, be was Kiug
Stork. Tho South of to-day does not need
cotton factories half so much as she does
manure factories. She thinks the Constitu?
tion os it was, furnishes a panacea for all
woes; but it is uot half so important to hot
just now as the Herd-Book.
Per contra-?the Washington Chronicle
(Forney's paper) advocates cotton manfao
ture in tho South. It tenders the following
advice:
"The success of tho South in eularging
her cotton resonroces lias very largely in bei
own hands. Sho must exert herself tc
bring the matter to thc general attention
sho must exhibit her advantages to those
who have the power to assist ber; hold out
proper indncemeuts, diligeutly set about
establishing a permanent und efficient laboi
system, stripped of tho defects and draw
backs of the preseut oue, and make it agree
able and remunerative for Northern mon tc
carry their mouey, euergy and experionce
iuto Southern com m un i ties for steady,
active employment there."
If the South is wise, and willing to b<
taught by experience, she will not maki
cotton hereafter her exclusivo pursuit. Th<
cottou section of tho Union bas nov
more money iu its hands than for man]
years, and the reason is that last year il
diversified its industry and raised its owl
supplies, so that the diminished crop o
cotton brought a higher price, and th
money was uot expended abroad for sup
plies. If tho South wants to bc prosperou
she will continuo to pursue this course, am
even tho cotton States will not be tempten
by the delusivo prospect of gain to mak
cottou their only production.

MB. EDKO?: In thia article tho -writer
proposes to look a little beyond our corpo?
rate limits, na his readers ma; hayo a taste
for traveling, and trace with an c^serving
eye a few other canses that operate to cur?
tail our quota of commerce in this place, and
to suggest tho remedies.
Aud, first of ell, let it be taken for grant?
ed that every inhabitant of oar once flou?
rishing and populous town, whenever he
goes, wherever he goes, and at all places he
goes, should talk of Columbia, boast of Co?
lumbia, think of Columbia, and invite
everybody to come and take a look at the
sumo place. We should have real estate
agencies by the score to advertise, sell and
attract notices everywhere of cheap lands,
rare chances for investment, and fine bar?
gains. We should have immigration socie?
ties, "et id omne genus,'' in New York, Bal?
timore, New Orleans, and os many other
conspicuous points aa practicable. But to
begin nearer home again. Columbia ought
rapidly to become the great depot for the
distribution of grain, forage, bacon, live
stock, and all tho commodities of the
mighty "West. If Atlanta, Qa., can supply
all of Middle Georgia and the const of the
Empire Stnto with these commodities, in?
cluding Savannah itself, what reason is
there that our town should not occupy
identically tho same position with refereuce
to the low country in this State? Why
should wo pay tributo ourselves to Atlanta,
Augusta and the railroads throughout Geor?
gia on grain, forage, bacon, etc.. etc.?
There is but one simple and ready answer,
to wit: Atlanta has a prompt and short con?
nection with St. Louis and Cincinnati,
whereas wo have none nt all. Why should
our cotton shippers bo at the mercy of one
solitary connecting link, ria Charleston,
with New York, Baltimore, and other out?
lets for tho staple? The explanation is
ready-wo aro without a Western connec?
tion.
It is safe to estimate the increase of busi?
ness in the city of Columbia at 100 per cent,
iu three years, provided we could commu?
nicate by a short and spoedy railroad line
with Knoxville, Louisville and St. Louis.
Charleston, instead of selling us bacon,
grain and forage, would necessarily draw
ber supplies of those articles, together with
live stock and iron, from Columbia 01
through Columbia. Our city would then
become what she has long aspired to be,
and what nature formed her for, tho greal
centre of trade and manufacture for the twe
Carolinas, and would be well worthy bei
title as capital of the Palmetto State, the
seat of learning, refinement and wealth.
By all means, lot evory Columbian and
every South Carolinian, nerved with the
fire of "amor patrice," move every force ant:
iufluonce in bis power for the building o:
such a connection; else our Georgia neigh
hors will intersect us on all sides with iroi
rails, and lcavo us in the cold to shiver ii
commercial darkness and isolation. At
effort is now being mado in tho Stato Legis
lat m c: to further such a scheme, and it be
comes every man, who feels a pride in hil
State, to take hold, with coat off and glove
behind him, and push the enterprise to i
brilliant aud speedy success. VIRGIL.

AK INCIDENT IN TUE LITE OF A POLITICIAN
Ou Saturday night, some weeks ago,
gentleman was walking leisurely dowi
Broadway, apparently very much occapie
with his thoughts, when he was interrupts
by au appeal for charity. On turning t
see who had accosted bim, ho saw a woma
about thirty-five years of age, wan and thir.
but who still retained traces of forme
beauty, and who, from her manner, ha
evidently mixed with the moro refine
classes of society. She said that ber hu:
band was bed-ridden, her children sick an
famishing, as well as suffering from tb
cold. The gentleman thought a momeo
and came to the conclusion to accompan
tho womau to her home, and, if her stot
proved true, to relieve her. Having ii
formed her of his intentions, she willingl
led the way, and, upon their arrival at
tenement-house, in Baxter street, her stat
ment was fully and fearfully corroborate!
Tho sick husband and three childrei
scarcely covered by their rags, wero hm
died together in a corner, trying to kee
from freezing, by combining the warmth <
their bodies, and their pinched countenanc
plainly showed that cold was not the on
thing they suffered from. The gentlemt
promptly sent for a physician, and th?
gave the woman a roll of bills, whioh, <
opening, she found to amount to the su
of fifty dollars. Ho waited until tho phyi
cian arrived, when he ordered him to n
tend to tho suffering family and send L
bill to him. The humanitarian refused
