^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

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

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.

to convey ? And you loo, of a larger growth
than mere boys, have you the requisite qualifications
to answer it honestly and truly ?
If not?remember it is the language of another?that
an honest, industrious boy is always
wanted, lie will be sought for ; his
services will be in demand; he will be respected
and loved; he will be spoken of io
terms of high coinmeudation; he will al
ways have a home; he will grow up to be a
man of known worth aud established character.
lie will be wanted. The merchant will
want him for a salesman or clerk ; the master
mechanic will want him for au apprentice
or journeyman ; those with a job to let
will want him for a contractor; clients will
want him for a lawyer; patients for a physician
; religious congregations for a pastor;
parents for a teacher of their children; and
thepeople for an officer.
He will be wanted. Townsmen will want
him as a citizen; acquaintances as a neighbor
; neighbors as a friend; families as a visitor
; the world as an acquaintance; nay,
girls will want him for a beau, and finally
for a husband.
An honest, industrious boy ! Just think
of it, boy, will you answer this description ?
Can you apply for this situation ? Are you
sure that you will be wanted? You may
be smart and active but that does not fill the
