The great New York banking hoiisc of Duncan, Sherman & Co., has failed, with liabilities estimated at $6,000,001) while the assets, it is said, will fall far below this .sum. The failure is attributed principally to the depression in cotton, the operations of the house having been very heavy in this staple. Tho house has also suffer ed largely from huing involved with various railroad enterprises, old and new. When the failure was announ ced, the greatest excitement prevailed in New York, and tho stock market was seriously dfleeted, gold running up at ono time to 101, and closing at 14J. About three fifths of the debts of the house arc held abroad. Much sympathy is felt for the firm, whoso standing iu tho financial world has always been very high. - m? t mm - Tho Difference, According to NordholT. "Formerly a negro thief received thi'dy-nino lashes from an overseer, and there an end; now a constable catches him, a prison holds him for trial, a grand jury indicts him. a petit jury hears evidence for and against him a judge sentences him if he is guilty, and thereupon ? penitentiary J receives him just as it does his white j brother-in-law.'' - [COM M U NIC ATK ?-3 I Mr. Kt/ifor?There was a time when our seed cotton was shipped to Eng ! land to he ginned.

When the battle of New Orleans was fought a week after a truce had been declared, for want of railway or a magnetic wire, but wc simply don't want to:drift back to them, when the utilitarianism of the I day demands that wc keep apace of the times. Well, what is all this prelude about? Only this: We have 1 oho crop to depend upon,cotton, it is I made after hard work, patient, self I denial and many a disappointment. I When it is made, what then ? Liens and advancements consume three fourths 01 /?">? fourths iu most cases, and the farmer is like Saturn the God r?f iiftic, pledging himself always to eat his own children. This is not the merchant's fsult ho is loo often a benefactor; it is emphatically the fault of our old system of depending solely bh cotton. Well, what is the remedy? First, wc want local indus tries In work up our cotton on the spot (like the cotton gin, instead of having it as we once did, ginned in England.) A factory raised with $00,000 capita], would employ seven ty-five operatives, would support four hundred dependents, would enhance the price of every product in the pro vision line iu our country, would pay a nett interest of 10 per cent, on the outlay. How? enquires a credulous friend, whose yellow savings have lain useless for many years in a home knit sack. Simply by believ ing the statistics of the Gran itcville, Augusta and Greenville fac tories, by reading what Georgiti has done, the fourth manufacturing State in the Union, and by consulting com mon sense in tho question. Jfeolton sent from here to Lowell, can lie manufactured and returned here for sale tit a certain price, that covers freights, wastage, fteulngc, commis sions, insurance, interest, iV:c., Ac. cannot all those ho saved by manu facturing the same on t'ie spot ? But how are wo to start it? By simply discussing it in your Granges and Agricultural societies, and referring it loa joint committee, with instruc tions not to receive a dollar until every share is engaged, every infor mation obtained, and tho factory a real intention. One scheme will build more, if orange (oranges from Cuba and Florida) marmalade built Dun dec in Scotland, n cotton factory should at least help Orangeburg. A Building and Loan Association could be formed here in a low hours thereby enabling men of scanty means to got a homestead on easy terms, if an at tempt was made, but it seems hard to stir us. Mr. Editor, "ring the changes" on us, break up this cotton monotony, and; let us diversify our industries, ami keep our reserve capital bu.y. Every dollar in motion helps to brighten the coin, brings in interest* and assist some struggling poor man. H. [coMMKNK.'ATiiil.] j Ohangkuuku, S. C. ? July 20th 1875.

Road what the New York A Vim has to say about (fits turnip*,: Rt'TAiiAtiAs.?It is as Vasy to raise eight hundred bushels of? tlieso to the acre as it is to raise four hundred bushels. It depends mainly on the preparation of the ground. The after-culture -"or a large crop costs no mere than that, for a small one. Rich, mellow, clean soil is necessary for a good crop. Two hundred and fifty pounds per acre of superphosphate or line bone dust scattered in the drill will greatly help the young plants, lint large crops of roots cannot be had without good barnyard manure as the basis. The soil must be fine and mcl low. When the fly or "flea" appear" dust the young plants with air-slacked lime. To prepare ii, as soon as the seed is sown put a bushel cf fresh lime in an open shed, and sprinkle it lightly with water. It will slack to a fine dry pow der by the time the plants need it. An ounce of carbolic acid in the water will he a great help in keeping off insects. Thin out the plants to twelve inches apart as soon as they arc established. f ADVKltTiSF.MKNT.] The Final Game.
