State ho . to diversify liici? ;G?wp5 aunt i?u? il?w ??u iiit-v ?>t> left without a suntaiehey of food for their own support, even if they have no pro? fits. . Tue Petersburg and Richmond newspapers are strongly advocating this rule, und, it in to be hoped, have a good prospect of success. There are Home portions of Virginia in which toliecco is practically the single crop, and if it fails to yield largely the consequences are dis? astrous. The* Gulf States, in rase of any accident to the cotton crop, and them? selves in' a likepredicament The New Orleans Picayune advisee the planters of Louisiana ? to diversify their crops. In three years the cotton crop of the South has yielded 11.750,000. bales, of the esti? mated value of: $725,000,000. The value of the erops for the three years preced? ing the war was $534,000,000. Yet, not? withstanding this largo increase, the Picayune aaya that. the cotton States are every year going deeper and deeper into debt. As a partial remedy, it suggests the diversification of the crops, so that the planter may have more for his per? sonal support. and for that of his em? ployees,, and leas need for expenditure on this aoeouni. It seems scarcely orodi - hie that with an average annual return of *&J4,060,000 from cotton the Southern States should be..in snch a deplorable condition, but it appears to be true. AH that they can make seems to be turned into ashes by official plunder and mis go vorumant and consequent disorganisa? tion of labor. At the name time, no com? munity can prosper which depends upon only one crop. Diversity of agricultural interest* is one of the secrets of North or Middle State prosperity, and might he tried with advantage in the Southern States. ^Ba?imort Am. .... i Tan OoaaxNor.?As showing how ab? surd wee the cry during the late Con? gress of ft want of currency in the coun? try, because certain district* not having the capital'could not command their ap? portioned share, we have only to see now how- the famous finance measure works which Congress passed, pre? tend edly in the interest of specio pay? ments, just before it adjourne.z. other features, the law allows a sort of free hanking, and that banks surrender to the treasury such currency as is not needed by them. . In June of last year, banks in the Kastern and Middle States had 0236,000, 1)00 in currency ; they have aurroudared SO,000,000 and taken the name amount in new currency- In all the not of the country, the States which were alleged to be deficient in currency,1 there was last June $118,000,000 cur? rency in the banks, I and having sur rendarad Sil ,28a.000 of . this amount,' they have taken but $4,342,000 new cur? rency. From which it will be seen that while the' aggregate - note circulation of the whole country has been diminished ?inea last June by over $6,000,000, the entire amount of reduotion was in those States where the deficiency was alleged to be greatest and where there was loudest demand for free banking. In advocacy, of the passage of these laws, it will be remembered that many Con? gressmen I declared that the West "had not money enough to go round," and many dreadful events were prepheoied unl?n the?currency were equalised. All which tends to thev that average Con? gressman are not inordinately wise as to the theory of currency, however skillful they may be in "appropriating" it. Mf^-1>.
