SHEARING.
About one week after they are
washed?if the weather has been
favorable?the sheep are ready to
be sheared. Tliree days would be
a better space between the first

wool then would tie perfectly drv
and mainly free front grease. But
however reprehensible the practice,

The New York Commercial Advertiser
forcibly remarks:
The condition of the Southern
States at the present time is full of
firomise. They seem to have falry
tided over their industrial and
bolitical trdublefc, and the future is
oritfht with the promise of a high,
and, we trust, endtiritift prosperity.
Another good cotton crop, bf wblfch
the indications appear to be the
most favorable, will place them in ,
a position which even the Northern
States may envy; Hie Southern
people, fortunately tor themselves,
have had no credit for several
years past, and liavo therefore
no debts at the present time. They
liave 1h;Ci? forced to live econoini
cally, and depend entirely upon
their own resources, while the
Northerners, as a rule, have been
extravagant and wasteful. It is
probable that in the Cveht of the
octiurreh'ce of the financial panic
which some persons rCgard a5 imminent,
the Southern people would
feel the shock much less k'only,
and recover from it much more
rapidly than some of the more
wealth\ and apparently moro prosperous
Northern States.
"the cond ition of the cotton mark
et at the present time indicates that
no materia! reduction is likely to
occur in tl*e present prices of the
great staple. The supply of cotton
in both England and the United
States is scarcely hdeqttate to
the requirements of tonsttthCrS
during the interval that elapses hefore
the new crop begins to come
forward. The cuble quotations of
12?d. for middling uplands at Liverpool,
is a fortune for the Southern
planter. That there will be no
important reduction from this pHcfe
is apparent from the evident inadequacy
of all the cotton fields hi
the world to supply the demands
for consumption. The supply is
fallihg off from India in spite of
all the e orts of England to Stimulate
production ih that region.
The South, for a series of years to
come, will be the great sofctrce of
cotton supply for the world. King
cotton is recovering his lost throne;
but he will reign henceforth A% a
constitutional monarch bvet' freemen,
qot as a tleftpbt over slaves.
Free labor will ultimately vindicate
its superiority even in the cotton
field.
Ifothihg, then, but the contingency
of unexpected and unlooked
for disasters to the new crop can
pfoVent the South taking a new
start. At present the accounts of
the cotton and corn crops are favorable,
and the yield of both tbese
products will he largely in excess
of last year. With the prospect of
plenty of rao jy* itnd with no debts
on hand to .oeorb it, the South at
the close of another successful harvest
will pugs ess the means and
capital required to stiintilate the
great railroad Mud other industrial
enterprises that are destined to impart
to it a new impulso on the
road to prosperity:
