We reartwre the mmHIm tint 1a Um than ten years from today the States wrst of the !HaslMl|ipi will prodaee a* mueh cotton aa is new made lathe whole of the United Stttn. Nobody MkU tha attanl capacity of these Western laa4i to de thin, and nothing but Um wm( of a sufficient number of tiller* of the aoil will hinder. Thcee they are getting in vast numhera. The stream of immigra tion from the Northwest is pocrimg into genial lands. Theee new settlers will all, more or leaa, engage la the production of cotton ; and if a laborer faa the Woet makea eight bales of cotton, when In South Carolina he can make but two or three with the aame amount of labor, we can readily see how rapidly thia Western movement will pile up the cotton bales. In the free of theee facts, can any one hope for a decreaae in cotton production ? Even if the price of the staple ehould fell perman ently to ten cents per pound, there would be a sufficient quantity produced to supply the markets of the world. It is nonsense to suppose that our fhrmers can compete with those of the West in cot culture ; and in order to make themselves independent, they have to lire at home ; that is, plant such crops as they can con sume themselves, instead of raising cotton with which to purchase them at exorbitant priccs. riant lt*t cotton and more grain. THE MEMORIAL COM MITT IE The oommitee charged with the duty of laying before Congress and the President the memorial of the Tax-payers' Convention mct|in Washington on last Thursday. On Fri day, the members of the committee were re ceived by Secretary Fish, who greeted them in a very cordial and sympathetic manner and assured them of his hearty desire that they might be successful in their mission to Washington. On Saturday morning they had an inter view with President Oraut, who also .re ceived them in a warm and friendly feeling. Hon. W. D. Porter iddrmiil the Presi dent upon the sutyect of their mission, and his remarks were received by President Grant with evident feelings of sympathy. The President replied to the committee that ha did not see that anything oould be done by the National Government to rectify tha abuses In this State ; that South Carolina has a oomplefe sovereign existence, snd must make its own laws ; that it was a mat ter Tery much to be deplored that the poo pU of the State were suffering under its laws; and that whara the feult lice might be a question worth looking into. As tha delegation were about retiring, President Grant expreesed his good wishes for the future prosperity of the Stato, and kia kopa that whan they came to lay their memorial before Congress some proper and practioal plan fbr the radreaa of their griev anoee might be (band. Ttaweaded the interview. It hM pro duoadmiwiayeaslons on the delegates. The feeling among them is mainly one of dis appointment , although they are by no means dlsoouraged.

The list of articles taxed was quite elaborate. Itemised, it presents a more ex tensive list than ours, but not more deetruet* We of the property of tlift people of the State for there is no trsde or occupation in which our people are engaged, that oan endure such excemtve taxation as is being imposed. The means necessary to provide for the daily wants are now obtained with the greatest dUhculty ; and, as a eonsoqueuco, the sums required to meet the exorbitant taxation are wrung from the bone and sinew of an im poverished and almost poverty stricken peo ple. Legislation, which should have in view the improvement of the State, Jhc digusion of education and the happiness and prosper ity ofthe people, loses its character entirely when its leading object becomes taxation,? the synonim of robbery. This inordinate tax ation must csuse a complete revolution of property, by its unequal pressure, at* well by i the multitudes of persons to whom it affords not only the means of living but pro icing rich upon the industry ard labor of other*. ASriIOD E L. Tux Ikdiaks.?The border is still threa tened with sn Indian war. The red man is hungry and must get beef, or he will take it. So far the temper of the noblo savage seems to be daily growing more insolent. Suspicions are entertained that some of the tribes have been cheating^ the Government by drawing more rations than they are en titled to. This is the natural effect of allow ing Indians to visit Washington. As ?oon as they touch the capital they get corrupt ed.?Phatnii. A Disousteu Editor.?An editor of a New Jersey paper, on retiring. ?av? ; "I retire from the editorial chair with a complete conviction that all is vanity. From the hour I first occupied the position of edi tor to the present time I have been solicited to lia on every given subject, and can't re member over having told a wholesome truth without diminishing the subscription list or making an enemy. Under these circumstan ces of trial, and having a thorough comtempt for myself, I retire in order to recuit my moral consiiution." Vali'abls T.vvkxtion.?A Texas clergy man has invented an Ironing machinc. It requires a woman snd a boy to work it; but is quite simple, and la said to do its work quiokly and well. It will iron, fold and press a sheet in one minute, and its average capacity is about sixty pieces an honr. The iron is stationary, the table with the linen upon it traveling underneath, thus relieving the attendant fVom the worrying necessity of following the iron. New Mexicans stand at the door of the Union and knock. They claim that, with a population of 140.000, which is larger than many of the territories had at the time of admission as States, they are entitled to join the federation. The bulk of the popu lation is Mexican, and, for a wonder, the people are not troublesome but quiet and orderly. The records of the Territorial Leg islature are in Spanish, and that is the lan guage principally spoken in the territory. The Graniteville (S. C.) mills, in this State now run over 20,000 spindle* and 700 looms, pay from 10 to 12 per cent, dividends have a handsome surplus, and are about 1 building a new mill. The Langley (S. C.) mills run 12,000 spindles and are paying handsome dividends. How long will our people be indifferent to the interests and prosperity of our town and county ? Echo answers "how long ?" The Columbia Union-Herald learns thst Mr. Kimpton.the former fiuancial sgent of the State, has been removed by the financial board, and the National Park Bank of New York appointed temporary agent in his place. It also learns that the financial board are negotiating with the Park Bank with the view of making the appointment permanent.

Prodigy Cotton.?We received a via it on last Saturday from Col. W. II. Can. non, of Charleston county, who is the father of Cannon's Prodigy Cotton, and who was on a visit to this section in the interest of this wonderful species of the ootton plant. By mere accident Col. Cannon discov ered this valuable seed, and for the past two years he has been giving his attenti on to its propagation. Last year, the high est number of locks was from 8 to 13 to the boll ; this year from 8 to 22?plain ly showing the progressive tendency of the cotton. We have been shown a circular containing numerous testimonials which fully endorse all that is claimed for this cotton. Mr. P. J. Pierson, of St. Stephens, S. C., says : ' I saw Col. Cannon's Prodigy Cot ton before it was injured by the cater pillar it had thon been subjected to heavy floods of rain, but I saw scarcely a form that had fallen off?it was loaded with bolls and forms; far exoeedingany thing I ever saw. 1 thought if no blight struck it the yield vcmM be at the rate of 4 bales to tto.acrtUg^ Mr. Lfftrfi Kxuomm mK^X^i&MS County So. Ca., testified tnat he believes from a most careful experiment made Cannon's Prodigy Cotton the past sea son, that it hbs no equal in productive ness ; with a most unfavorable season for ootton, assailed by the oaterpillar, his Prod igy yielded two pounds seed cotton to tneBtullc. He says he invested two dollars in these seed ; would not take fifty dol lars for the seed he has obtained from the small quantity planted ; intends, if possible, to buy seed sufficient with what nc has, to plant a half acre, and believes that quantity of good Ism, highly ma nured, well nursed, would produce three bales of cotton. Only a limited quantity of seed is offered for sale ; and, owing to the strin gency of the times, the price has been reduced fron twenty-five to fivo cents a seed.
