{From tlio Soil of tlio South.] Stop aud TLIiik. ^Mesrics. IiuiToKb: It is a common remark, as goes 0110, so goes the gang. This propensity is not so exclusively sheepish, ns we might at first suppose. Men are inclined to run with the crowd, without stopping, to think, whether the crowd are light. ( We .have been so perfectly bewildered with i the idea of 10 or 12 cents for cotton, that I fear wo shall forget to raise corn, or, at least, put ourselves and country upon short allowance. I have felt the charm of these prices myself, and acknowledge the temptation which I have frit, to run after them, and this very temptation has admonished me to say to my self and my brethren of the plow, beware, lest wo might be found picking cotton, sonic cold windy da}', to be sold at a price made low by the excess, to btiv COfll 11I:1i1a llinrll In- ?lc snnrpitii Tli.. Southern country is very likely to run into this double error, this very year. Corn is scarce and high to begin with, and L apprehend if we could see a catalogue of all the prices for tlio year, that we should tiud that the order had been a few more acres, and that of tlio best land for cotton, and the corn shoved otl" to the mere chance of the seasons. If very good and favorable, every way, just enough will bo made to make out. if any mishaps, a little short. Then to shifts and short allowances. The hogs will probably suiter with "sore throat" and pains in the stoinaeh ; the cows with hollow liorn, and the mules next plowing time, with staggers; and as the Almanac man would say, about this time, many of them may be expected to die. These things need not be so, 110 money is made by the oi>cration. I think K...1 u..? -1 -1 - > Kin uctici muiu IIIUII^ U|1UII (IIC goou OIU plan, of making sure first of a plenty of corn, and then as much cotton us can conveniently come in; and then we may have the fun of high prices for our cotton for many years to come. But if we are determined, that laying all other business iiside, we will make one concentrated effort to overstock the cotton market, aided its we will, doubtless, bo by the English spinners, wo can soon achieve the victory, though it may be lean and bootless. 1 think this is one of the times when the planters in convenient reach of a nmrket, should make sure calculations :is to the relative profits of the grain and corn crop. And for fesr you will consider it a questioii mido, and therefore not make the calculation?I will do it for you. You will admit twenty acres to the hand to be a very fair, if not a heavy crop, eight in corn, and twelve in cotton. AVe will suppose this eight acres shall mnke a supply for the plantation, anil that the twelvo acres in cotton shall make five bales of five hundred pounds each, or twenty-live hundred pounds of ginned cotton to each f:mn, anu allow these. to produce twenty busnols?acli, and we have 340 bushels of corn for sale; which, at one dollar per bushel, will make $340, showing a difference of $00 in favor of the corn. I have said nothing about the bagging and rope for baleing the cotton, butliavo allowed these to sell for as much as tliev inav ensL nnrl T Imvo nmiHn/1 ?/> t>?t -J J ; > r-? down any thing for the surplus fodder and shucks. There would probably bo four thousand pounds of fodder from tbe produce of the seventeen acres of corn which was cultivated for market, this I will throw in as a selt-oft* against the cottou seed, leaving the bnlnuce of ninety dollars still, in favor of corn, provided my prices are right, and 1 think those who will look into the prospects for the next year% will admit that about nil market towns, where there are many consumers, com will be quite as likely to sell for a dollar a bushel, as cotton for ten cunt* It is objected that corn is a wasting nrticle, and delivered slowly and at as much cost. This I will admit, but if our arangemenLs were made for it. as thev could pnsilv 1m made, much of this objection could be removed. And then the line corn crop, with lots of peas in the bargain, could be saved in one-third of the time required for picking and preparing the cotton for market, leaving all the balance of the fall and winter for mnking manure, and putting every thing in fine order for another year. And last, though ]>erhaps not least, ample time could bo allowed, about the last of August and through September, for turning under all the pea vines, and grass and weeds upon all the lands upon which such vegetation might be found, and then such wheat crops as would be seen next winter, and such renewed vigor as would be imparted to the lands next year, would astonish M the natives." My estimates may not be right. 1 think, however, thoy are pretty fairly made, turn them over and modify them to your own likinrr. and if von ?i 1 -- J W......VCU thut it will bo to your interest to make some corn for the town folks, the mechanic, and the manufacturer, at least conclude to make enough for youself.

S of &.] Gkohok McDukkik.?A correspondent of the Mobile Herald gives this graphic sketch of Mr. McLhiffio's hist speech in the Senate : The Inst time I remember seeing this distinguished statesman, was on the floor of the United States Senate, during a debate on the tariff question, in 1840. lie walked to his seat with great difficulty, on account of his paralysis; yet declined the proffered assistance of Senator Sevier, who offered liim every attention. When seated, lie wrote a short note to Dixon II. Lewis, who immediately had his enormous chair wheeled to the desk of Mr. McDuffie, and aided bim in preparing his documents and in rising to his feet. The whole chuinlier was silent in a moment. It might have been deference to the bodily infirmity of the man who could only stand by having each elbow supported and both hands clasped upon the bead of his cane?or it might have been in compliment to his towering intellect and burning eloquence: but so it was, and the proud flashing eye of the statesman seemed to acknowledge this homage as his right. His first few sentences were uttered iu gasps, as though ho were suffering excruciating pain but after ho began to warm with the subject, he bv^aine e'ouuaov-HMUJj. ilio attack i>? n..:.i w.L:.- I f/viuvcu pi uivi|'?wij wg??i?i?u JL'auici *? VDB(ert and he appeared to pride^lnmself on entering the lists with him, whom lie alono deemed worthy of his steel. To describe tho graceful manner in which ho glided from profound argument into caustic irony, and then to solemn invocation surpasses my humble abilities ?but that he enchained every heart, ear and heart present, for more than an hour can be testified to by hundreds. Before closing llis speech with his last bunt of eloquence, I remember his becoming bo excited thfjJL all bis nuaarc\&;, he removed V/.a arms from their supports?dropped bis cane on the floor/ and stood, to the astonishment of every body1 'atone and unaided, while the grace and dignity of his action could hfi surnnsfw>d hv nnnno An lio iiffnrn/1 his hist remark, Lewis, fearful of an accident, caught him in his arms and fairly carried him to his seat. A week after this incident Congress adjourned, and McDuffie never afterwards visited Washington City. Mokmonism.?The following article is taken from the Boston Christian Watchman and lleflector. Mormonism grew up amid scenes familiar to our boyhood. The elevation on which tho golden plates are said to have been found was well known to us before it rcoeived its present name of Bible Hill. The store in which we performed a short clerkship used to be occasionally swept by the father of the PpAnliof. fnr a rrluaa aC rrr/w ni? ciw?K ok4Ia!/v> 1 _ ? P ? g.^v.^xv.. ?>n?ai as would 8 us tain his needy family, who were inero vagrants, making shift to live as they could, and spending much of their time in nocturnal money-digging. The men whose testimony and affidavits concerning the family, are contained in the book alluded to, which is an expose of the fraud, were several of them our familiar acquaintances. We know that what they say of the money-digging, sightseeing, fortune-telling, lying and drunkenness of the family is reliable. Martin Harris, whose farm was mortgaged to print the Goldeu Bible, and some of the printers themselves, are names familiar to our youth. Those acqnnioted with the enterprise in its inception, smiled at the clumsv cheat as a thing too contemptible for a thought, and that it must die in its birth. To us, therefore, its subsequent history is one of the most unaccountable thingB of this unaccountable age. To see Joe Smitli hailed as a prophet of the Lord by seventy-tive or a hundred thousand peoplo, to trace his I steps through Ohio, Missouri and Illinois; to see his followers treading their way amid eivatioiM inconceivable across the Western esert, and planting themselves in the rich vales pf Utah and on the borders of the Great 8alt Lake; to know that gorgeous temples have risen undertlieir hands in Ohio and Illinois, and that another* the largest structure in the world, is projected at tneir new home; to observe their missionaries traversing this country and Great Britain, and making their way even to Palestine, multiplying their proselytes by hundreds, and shipping them to their promised land in the West, suggests the idea that some powerfnl spirit from the other world moat preside over the movement, like the devils whom Milton represents as dividing themselves among the gods and religions of the Ancient heathen nations.
