Tho t'bllojr of tb.9 Pfirtatif ana Planter. Died of COTTON-born again of conn. So far as the ind aa trial interests of South Carolin? are concerned, ve are satisfied that a change qt policy is demanded. Cotton cooma now to be in some respects tho bono of tho State. We speak with Toluctcnco upon this subject, for our doctrine is that farmors, as a general rale, know best what pertains to their material interests. To us, however, it does ee?tn obvious that the plantation or faro ought to be self-sustaining. To plant less area-selecting the beat-and oui ti vate it more thoroughly; to plant Ices of cotton and CR GT ? of the cereal and root crops-this seems to us to be tho true policy. It is madoess to plant cot? ton when the coBt pf production is above tho price o? the commodity. It is mad? ness for the plaufcer to pat himself in the hands Of thp commission mexobant, how? ever fair he oday be. The planting iu fcoroat of tho SMe is the bono and sinew of the State. The wealth of the State cornos from jthe aujl pf tbe State. How import .ut it io, then, ta placo it upon ti e oqu so h na Vs. A8 ft" jpjw. ve kPO.w *hat it io, to a large estent, unreliable and in officient. We wast uso the labor wo have at least Until we eau get better. On this subject, our policy is to reduce the forcp'fvs low possible, and by good wages and, CIOMO supervision., in?rense its efficiency. Let white labor be intro? duced as fast aa possible and bo fully en? couraged.-- ??efc tho poor white man, whether mechanic gr laborer, receive our special consideration, and let every us siatanoe be given him tp help him in? crease his fortunes. In this connection, we invite attention to tho agricultural address of Goberai R. Toomba, recently delivered. in Georgia. The Columbus Inquirer says: >."' Gen. Toomba' address opened with an eloquent ?nd beautiful tribute to tbe dignity and the necessity of labor. It was the law of God, imposed upon mau from 4|he time of his creation. He ap-' nouncod his purpose to be to endeavor to show how the least amount of human labor could supply the greatest amount cf human w^ut. . Thin ?vas all that man could do to mitigate the stern decree, "by the sweat of thy brow shalt thoa eat bread." The greater portion of Gen. Toomba' Address was an argument to show the impolicy of planting all cotton, or large oropsof cotton and small crops of grain. He contended that the true economy of the people of the South was to plant a sufficiency of provision crop.) for the support of their own families, their laborers, their working stock, and the fattening of their own meat, and to give the surplus labor to the production of cotton. He showed the fallacy of the calculation of many planters, by which they figured out a greater amount of money to-be derived from an aore in cotton than from an acre in corn. The error consisted in the assumption that it required no more labor to cultivate an acre in cotton than one in corn; whereas the truth is, tho labor of the cotton field is at least four-fold tho greatest. The farmer breaks up his ground for au acre of corn, plants it, and gives it in all three workings-the whole consuming not moro than four days, at the cost of about sis dollars per acre; uud then tho work is liuished-the crop laid by in July. But cotton re? quires much more labor in planting, thinning out, ploughing and hoeing; nud when July comes, instead of a termina? tion of work with the crop, it still has to bo ploughed and hoed, and tho picking will consame the balance of thc year. It thus appears thut the same forco can? not only cultivate u much larger area in com than in cotton, but that only about one-third of the time is required*for tiic raising of corn. Gen. Toomba regarded the time consumed in tho production of the crops as a very important considera? tion in view of the present unreliability cf labor. Should the laborers "strike," or quit their work in Joly, the exclusive cotton planter is ruined; but he may be sure of a oom crop with only two months work in the spring. Inadequate as are the remedies to enforce the observance of labor oontraots, it is of the utmost importance to the agriculturalist that hu should make sure of at least a support for the year, in any contingency. Gen. Toomba regarded the practice of making Louisville and other Western cities the oorn-oribs and Bmokc-housos of the South as a most wretched and impoverished policy. He declared that it would not do for our people to follow it, even if they could get corn for nothing in the Western States. The freight aud other charges would still amount to moro than tho real cost of raising il hore, Wihon tho proper proportion of cotton and oom is ca?ti-ruted. Such .? polioy wonld bo tho building up of tito prosperity of other sectious, to the impo? verishment of our own. Tho Cincinnati 'limes says that Mis? souri enfranchisement "is a measure of justice, but not very wholesome to the Republican party. Measures of justice wholesome to society aro never whole? some to malefactors. Let justice be done, tho Republican party bo hanged. Capt. Wm. Hathaway was killed by a coustuble in DeKalb County, Tennessue, on the 10th. He is charged with haviug committed^jwn?y?ftve murders.

We did not anticipate any setious irupte?siou upon the colored voters, but the effort made to enlighten their minds and to direct aright their political conduct, was a magnanimous one. But ii waa not to the colored voters alone that Judge Carpenter and General Butler directed their appeals. They awoke and stimu? lated tho energies of their white fellow citizens. Thoy rendered distinguished services, and thoy desorvo well of South Carolina. If they did not command success, they did more-they deserved it. ELECTION OF GRAND OFFICERS.-At tho meeting of the Grand Lodge of Ancieut Freo Masons, held in Charleston, the following officers were oleoted nnd in? stalled: William K. Blake, of Spurtuuburg,. Grand Master. R. S. Bruns, of Cbarlostou, Deputy Grand Mastor. Z. W. Carwile, of Edgefield, Senior Grand Warden. Jamos A. Hoyt, of Andorsou, Junior Grand Warden. H. W.

The surrender of Neuf Breisach yields tho lust of tho German fortresses upon that river, and there are now only threo French strongholds left in Alsace and Lorraine. These three are Bitcho, on the frontier of Rhenish Bavaria; Phals bonrg, in thc Vosges Mountains, and Belfort, in the department of Hant Rhin, souie miles from the Rhine. The two first-named are said to bo absolutely impregnable to assault, and can only be taken by tho slow process of starvation, though a small force can mask them. Belfort is claimed to be stronger than OLI U9UUUI ir, but that too can bo masked or flanked and left behind. The determined note which Russia sends to tho other powers, demanding an abolition or modification of tho treaty of 1856, is significant. She desires to bo free that she may make war on Turkey. Sho takes advantage of an auspicious moment to repudiate the treaty which has hampered her on the shores of tho Black Sea. Russia can make a general European war inevitable by insisting on this concession, for it strikes homo to old England, and if, as reported, tho Czar is in leuguo with Prussia iu his object, may not tho friends of Franco see in it all a combiuatiou of circum? stances resulting in tho safe and trium? phant deliverance of their own couutry? -?

COTTON.-From tho auuunl report of tho National Association of Cotton Man? ufacturers and Planters, the Now York Commercial Advertiser compiles some in? teresting statistics of the home consump? tion of cotton for the your ending Ooto ber 1, 1870. Thoso statistics show that tho total amount of cotton spun, accord? ing to a ratio basod upon tho returns of 03 per cont, of tho cotton-spinning power in tho whole country, was 318,349,940 pounds, of which 20,650,173 was in Southern mills and 298,193,407 in North? ern mills. Thero woro also 3,213,032 poonda otherwise consumed in the North. The number of spindlos oconpied was 5,762.988 in the North and 166,275 in the Hon th-total 5,929,263. The reports of 430 Northern mills show an increase of consumption in 1869-70 over 1868-9 of 1.67 per cent., or 4,787,324 pounds, and in spindles of 2.72 per oont. In the same period the inorease of consumption in 53 Southern mills was 6.26 per cent., or 1,155.255 pounds. The total increase was 1.95 percent., or 5,942,279 pounds of cotton, and in spindles of 2.65 per cent. Tho returns of cotton used in the mills "otherwise than for spinning," were too incomplete to allow a satisfac? tory comparison with last year. This year's work was reduced by the long strike at Fall River, and by the loss of water power by tho drouth, leaving but about 290 working days to bo conn tod for, tho avorngo of nil the Northern mills, instead of 300, tho ordinary number of working days. Thc anticipated fall in tho prico of cotton, consequent on a pro? sont excess in supply, aud the war in Europe, togother open to manufacturers a moro fluttering prospect than they have had for some time, ns tho production has not kept paco with tho supply and the surplus of manufactured goods is reduced vory low. -? A mau iu Schenectady throw a kiss to his little daughter in tho street, but another man's wife who stood in raugo thought tho kiss was meant for her, and returned thc compliment. Hcrhusbaud just then unluckily came npou tho scene, and in his indignation thrashed the father of tho aforo-montioned little daughter. Tho result is au assault and battery case. Tho story that the German army is losing 2,200 men por day by death must be taken with many grains of allowance. Such a rate of mortality, in the absence of epidemic diseases, has no parallel in the history of warfare. This reported loss, it must be remembered, does not in? clude the casualties in battle.

Consamp^VfB to fro to Florid? In Winter-;H*vin?foT the last thirty-five -yeats devoted my trhole time and attention to tho etndy of lun<r die osGoa and consumption, I feel that 1 under? stand fully tho couran that ought to bo pur? sued to rea to re a tolerably had case of diseased lunge to healthy soundness. Tho firat and moat important etop is for tho paliont to avoid taking cold, and tho best of all piucos on thin continent for this pulposo in winter, is Florida, well down in the state, whore the temperature is regular, and not subject to such variations as in more Northern latitudes. Palatka is a point I can recommend. A good hotel ia kept there by Poterman. Last win tor I saw several porsons there whoso lunge had been badly diseased, but who, under thc healing influence of tho eli m ato and my modi cines, wero getting well. One hundred miles further down tho rivet is a pciut which I would profer to PaUtka, at the tomporature is moro even and tho air dry and bracing. Mollonville and Enterprise ar? located thoro. I should givo a decided pre feronco to Mellon ville. It is two miles fron river or lake, aud it Booms almost impossibh to tako cold there. Tho tables in Floridi might bc better, and patients complain a times, but that is a good sign, as it iudicatei a return of appetite, and when this is tho caa? they generally increaso in flesh, and thon thi lungs munt beal. Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Covo, ant many other places in various parts of Florida can bo safely recommended to consumptive! in winter. My reasons for saying so are tba patients aro less liable tu tako cold thoro thai whero thoro is a less evon temperature, and i is not necessary to say that where a consump tivo person exposes himself to frequent colds ho is certain to dio shortly. Thtjrefore. m; advioo is, go well down into tho Stale, out u tho roach of prevailing Fast winds and toge Jacksonville, or almost any other of tho lc calilies I have named, will benefit traose wir are troubled with a torpid liver, a dfftK^erei stomach, deranged bowels, sore' throat o cough, but for those whoso lunge are disease a more Southorn point is oariica.tly rououi mended. For fifteen years prior to 1800,1 was profet sionally in New York, boston, Baltimore ap Philadelphia every week, where I KOW aud ea ainincd on un average li vu hundred patients week. A practice so extensive, oinbraoin every possible phase of lung disease, bas ont blod'me to understand tho disease folly, an heneo raj* caution in regard to taking cold, person may tako vast quantities of "Schanck Pulmonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Mat drake Pills." and yet die if ho dpos not avoi taking cold. In Florida, nearly everybody is llsiu Sch click's Mandrake Pills, lor tho climate more likely to produce bilious habits tba moro Northern latitudes. It is a well est.il lishod fact that natives of Florida rarely d of consumption, especially those of the SoiUl ern part. On tho other hand, in New En j land, one-third, at least, o! tho populate, dio of this torriblo disoaso. In the Midd Statos it duos not prevail so largely, ?ti thero aro many thousands nf cases thor What a vast por contago of life would be save if consumptives wore as candy alarmed in r gard to taking fresh cold as thoy aro abot scarlet fever, small-pox, Ac. But they a not. Thoy take what thoy term a little col which they are credulous enough to belie' will wear off in a few days. They pay uo a tenthill to it, and hence it lays tho foundatic for another and another still, until the lun| are diseased beyond allhopo for cure. My advice, to persons whose longs a affected ??en slightly is, to lay in a stock Schonck'n PoJumulc Syrup, Sehcnok'a Soawei Tonic and Soho?cJi'a Mandrake Pille ami ( to Florid?. X re?ommond these particul medicines.beoaufl? I am thoroughly acquain ed with their action. J. know that whore tb aro used in strict accordance with my dire tious, they will do tho work that is require This accomplished, nature will do tho rei Tho physician who prcaoribes for cold, cou| or night-sweats, and then advises tho patio lo walk or rido out every day, will bo sure have a corpao on his hands before long. My plan is to givo my throe medicines, accordance with tho printed directions, c eept in some cases where a freer uso of t Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is give tone to tho stomach -to get up a go appetite. It is always a good sign when patient begins to grow hungry. I have hop of such. With a relish for food and t gratification of that relish comes good bloc and with it more flesh, which is closely f lowed hy a healing of the lungs. Theil t cough loosens and abates, the creeping chi and clammy night-sweats no longer prostrt and annoy, and thc patient gets well, prov? ed he avoids taking cold. Now there are many consumptives who lin not the means to go to Florida. Thcquosti may be asked, is thero no hope for sut Certainly there ls. Sly advice to such is. a over has been, to stay in a warm room duri tho winter, with a temperature of alu seventy degrees, which should bo kt regularly at that point, hy means of a th moulder. Let snell a patient take his < er CIS 0 within tho limits of tho room hy wa ing up and down us much as his strength \ permit, in order to keep up ft healthy drei! lion of thc blood. I have cured thousai hy this system, and can tlo so again. G sumption is as easily cured as any ntl disease, if taken in time, and the proper k of treatment is pursued. Tho fact utai undisputed on' record that Schenck's Pult nie Syrup, Mandrake Tills, and Seaweed To havo curod very many of what seemed to hopeless cases of consumption. Go wh you will, you will ho almost certain to 1 some poor consumptive who has boon resci from tho very jaws of death by their usc. So far as tho Mandrake Pills aro concern everybody should koop a supply of them hand. They act on tho liver bettor than ci mol, and leave nono of its hurtful effects hind. In fact, tboy aro oxcellont in all ca whore a purgativo medicine is required, you havo partaken too freely of fruit i diarrhtea ensues, a dose of tho Maudra will euro you. If you aro subject to i headache, take a doso of tho Mandrakes ; they will rolieve you in two hours. If would obviate tho effoct of a change of wa or tho too free indulgence in fruit, t one of tho Mandrakes every night or o\ other night, and you may thon drink wi aud oat watermelons, pears, apples, plu peaches or corn, without tho risk of being i by thom.

STAMPS-IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF OLD DKEX>S, &C.-Many documents, re? quired by law to bear revenue stamps, were executed during the war without them; und, on account of carelessness or ignorance, muuy have been executed since the authority of the Government was restored, without tho requisite stamps. Until tho recent change in the revenue laws, it was a matter of some difficulty to have these documents stamp? ed; it involved in many coses the penalty of $50. Now, however, the low Imf been so changed that tho penally to bc paid is only double the amount of stamp duty, to bc iu no case, however, lesi thun S5. The Collector of internal revc nue has tho power of remission of over this small penalty in certain cases, whet due cause is shown, provided the iustru mont is presented to him before Angus1 1, 1872, or within one year ofter its mak ing and issue. Where an instrument required by law to be stamped, WOB is sued unstamped at a time when, ant place where, no collection district hat been established, it is lawful for air party, having an interest therein, t< stamp it himself, prior to Jannury 1 1872. As, however, the rates of stout] duty have been several times ohanged parties would do well to consult the Col lector of internad revenue before offixinj stamps to such instruments.
