'* ^.". ted to strike the mind of an attentive ob- * server, and goes strongly to prove that when we have a backward spring, we have frost correspondency early. The consequence is, that we have our crops shortened or increased by if. Thus for' example in the year 183G, we had frost j' T n <?i f 11 the 14th October, in IOi> /, wi; imun.yot | # 7th October. In 1S38, we had frost the 7th October. In 1S3D, we had frost the , 7th November. In J 840, we had frost j the 7th October. 1 speak of frost suf- , ficient to kill the cotton plant. All will readily conceive that it is the | interest both of the planter and tho pur- I chaser of cotton, that a fair estimate should be arrived at as early as possible, < to prevent runious losses occurring to either, and any plan that can be adopted ' "bv which that result may be obtained will 1 meet my approbation, and I doubt not but also the approbation of the planters generally. But in the mean-time, I do protest 1 against such vagaries and random guesses at the growing crop, should be taken up ( by the newspaper press and spread before Europe and America, to the great injury and exclusive loss of the planters, whose , interest it is to sell his cotton at home a9 fluick as he can get it ready for market, , ^ and at only a fair price, which his article < ^ may be worth in reference to the whole ; ? crop produced. Purchasers enter the < market where improper impressions are; I produced either in estimating the crop, t short, full, or in excess,alwayslwith disad- ' vantage ultimately tot he planting interests. t If the crop is over estimated, he will not, f give as much for cotton as he otherwise j1 would if he knew the reality, and on thcj1 other hand if the crop is under estimated is and he is induced thereby to give a higher! j* price than he would otherwise have given L for that crof), and he is consequently de- j ( terred the next year, and holds off, and j the planter I really believe loses more by s it greatly than he gained in excess the year before. This goes clearly to cstab- tl Jish the principle that fairness in trade and d consequently in estimating the crop is the J only safe foundation for prosperity to i^ot- u ton buyers as well as the Cotton planters. <* I think some plan should be adopted calcu- f dated to secure this and for one it shall have my hearty concurrence and support. In speaking of the Cotton crops of the various years referred to, it will be per- " ccived that i have spoken in round num- x) bers and not fractionally exact. It may also be well to remark that what is called (j * ;\ the Cotton belt extends from north lati- ,| tude 31 to 33 inclusive?mv plantation is ^ ~ is a fraction over 32 of north latitude,and j vv consequently near the centre of the Cot-1 jr &'"~t; ton region. tl Respectfully, vonr ob't serv'f, ' ' B.

From the Philadelphia Journal of Banking. THE TIMES. In several respects, the present times nore nearly resemble those of I SI9, and he years- immediately succeeding, than my other period in our country's history. Then, as now, the Banks, after having ooen enormously inflated, suddenly collapsed, and spread ruin and destruction ;*very where around them. Then, as now, enterprise was chilled,! >erause men know not what a day may aring forth. Then, as now, the country was burdenid with a heavy public debt. The case is nit materially altered by the fart that the lebt pressed them immediately on the Federal Government, and that it now presses on the Slates. Then, individuals owed millions on millions more than they could pay. Then, capitalists could with difficulty ind safe and profitable investments, ana uborers were consequently left without imploymeni. Then, wages, and the prie.es of land, and tf commodities generally, fell greatly. Then, as now, the troubles of the times yere occasioned in part by extensive (peculations in the public lands. The Banking revulsions are now more xtensive. Through the period above aluded to, the great body of the Banks in he Atlantic Slates, at least those north >f North Carolina, and, we believe, those if Mississippi and Louisianna, mainlnintd specie payments. Now, all t'te Banks o the south and west of New York, with ( In: exception of certain Banks in East Jerey, the Bank of the Slate nl Missouri, , rid perhaps the Banks of Charleston, S. '. are in a stale of suspension. The Banks f Ohio profess to pay specie; but from he best accounts we can gather, their iractice bat ill accords with their profes ion. ( Then, the public debt was a burden on ( lie Federal Government; now, it is a bur- j en on the States. , The Smtes were not then, as tliey are ow, involved in extensive, and, in most ases, injudicious schemes of public imirovcmcnt. Then, there was a Rank of ihe United hates, with a capital of thirty-five mil* ons, in foil operation. Now, we are j rithout that blessing or that evil, just 'hich the reader may be pleased to conider it. , The public distress is the same in kind | rat it was from 1818-19 to 1823 24, but ? iffers from it in degree. The reader who ( as not turned his attention to the past, , ill be surprised to learn that the suffer- j igs of the present day arc much less than ( rose that were aforetime experienced. I Our large cities were not half as popu- , uis then as they are now, yet according j >Nilcs' Resistor, at one season in 1819, ( here were JO,COO able bodied men in New ( rorIi daily seeking for employment, or, tiding women, 20,000 persons who desir- , I something to do; in Philadelphia, 20.- j 00 persons were in like condition; and, , 1 Baltimore, 10,000 were in unsteady t /->r ,,nisunfirinir because , IIIJM..J ...l O . . icy could not irct employment. 11 Neither is ihe fall of prices now as , was then. According lo the testimony j f a Director in the United States Bank, rmses in Philadelphia which used to rent a ir 1200 dollars a year, brought in 1820 t a more than 450 dollars; fuel which used ( i cost 12 dollars fell to 4 1-2 dollars; flour s II from 11 dollars to 4 dollars a barrel; ( ?ef, from 25 cants to 8 cents a pound.? 5pp Nilcs* Register, vol. xviii, page, v 37.] > ' , Lands in nineteen counties of Pennsyl-j ( inia, which about tin* year 1815 brought, i f i an average, from 93 to 125 dollars an re, would in 1819 bring no more ilian s om 29 to 42dollars. This we assert on ,| icamb- rilv of <? Committee of the Sen- v cot Prnns) Ivania, of which Mr. Raguet s as chairman. |j In September, 1S20, corn was sold in ^ une parts of Kentucky at 10 cents, and n Ileal at 20 cents a bushel. In May of the dlowing year, corn was as low nt Cincin- t ati, and wbeattn some parts of Ohio was v 0 cents r bushel. A Pitfbu'g paper, in the spring of 821, referring to prires at that place, lys?"Flour a barrel, 81; whiskey 15 ents a gallon; good merchantable pine oards, 20 cents a hundred feet; sheep nd calves, 81 a head. Foreign goods at lie old prices. One bushel nndn half of rbeal will buy a pound of coffee; a barrel 1 flour will buy a pound 'of tea; twelve rid a half barrels will buy one yard of nperfine broad cloth " In some respe.cts the times are better linn they were from 1818-19 to 1823-24, nd in others they are worse. The public debt is twice as great as it vasthen, but the wealth of the comrnuniy has increased in more than equal prolortion. The burden of the debt then, lowever, fell on the Federal Govenment, vhich had more facilities for collecting a evenue to pay the interest than are possessed by the State Governments. The Stales were not then, as they are in cr*linmpQ fit ir. tprnnl im. 1IMV IIIVUI*C? ?..vw % .... rrovement, calling for the incurring of iciv debts at a time when they cannot pay he interest on the ohl. The credit of the Stale Governments was then good because they had used it sparingly, and tliey had it in their power to apply it to the relief, or the apparent relief of the debtor class, by establishing "Commonwealth Banks," and by other contrivances. Now the credit of 6ome of the State Governments is so low, that '*J; Trv. " .! " "/;V - ; V . .r ^ 'C O;" ... 4 r V?"t- * ' " . - -A' Vj' i: ; 'V '- ' ' .* $' ' they find it difficult to pay the wages their own officers. Great part of the distress that exist then, was occasioned, as it is now, 1 extensive purchases of wild land. E then, such of those lands as were boug from the Federal Government, were bong on credit, and Government relieved li class of speculators by taking back 1 land, and thus freeing them from oblig tions to the amount of millions. Of Is years the public lands have been sold f cash, and as this cash has been "depo ted with the Slates," the Government h it not in its power to relieve this numera class of speculators, by receiving ba tlie land, and giving them back the mone Corretfondence of the Courier.
