We have seen the statement in some dail f paper t hat t he farmers of the South have lost the value of <;<iu,noo hales of cotton by failure to sell last full all that they had made, and holding a part in ment’s thought will shr*vv that state ment to l>e a mistake.

If it is seen that the crop is larger thart it promised to lie prices go down, and if tho contrary Is evident they advance. The daily variations in price are caused hy the daily telegraphic reports from the tit ids, the inland towns and the ports. If receipts arc heavy the “l»ear” is happy, if light the “bulp* is in his »h>ry. Now the world needs a certain ap proximate amount ol American cotton that grows larger every year.

The West6an grow as much as the world needs and so much more cheaply than the Kast tbatthicy wUlen- joy a practical monopoly. Had as. this may seem now it cannot he avoided. And if it turns out so th£ old state* will be surprised at the result and on} v sorry that they did not turn that corner sooner.

During his faunoua march of fire, cither in Georgla^or one of the Caro lina*, the late Gen. Teciunseh iSherman whs terribly frightened bv a «lream that came very near being fulfilled : One night the General took refuge in an old farm house and had fallen into a deep sleep when he whs visited by a most exciting dream. He fancied that the house in which lie slept was sur rounded by a band of guerillas, w ho had dug a hole beneath the room in which he lay, filled It with jmwder and touch ed it 4>ft. The extdosion that followed M wa* terrible, and tlnkGeneral thought lie saw himself flying through the air in sections. The shock of thistyrriide ex- l»erienee caused him to jump to'tUe mid dle of the floor. Hastily^ dressing,Jie left the building, lie ha<i not gone fiix tc,u * Ut cut production by decroas- into the night when a red glare shot up from the farm house, followed bv a ter rible explosion. The building was wreeked, bat the dream had saved the Kfe of the General. hriek*, one leaning for help and »up- |H»rt on the other, and if one is knocked out down go»** the whole line. Owing to the splendid eorn crop* .made the farmers can the more safely help their creditor* to the uttermost lock of cotton, and for the same reason the creditor* should consider theij custo mers as partners in their business until this crisis is past and the country gets on solid ground once more. It is, we think, of prime importance that the far mers and their creditor* should “get together” and strive under tins gospel 4>f the golden rule to help one another as become* a generous people. “In the multitude of counsellors there is wis dom” and there is always strength in numbers and discipline and elbow touch. From our standpoint we believe that the best arrangements possible- under the circumstances should be made lor the gradual marketing of the crop. If a panic is precipitated and every man on the principle of self hurries to sell first, prices will go dow n as kolb gems Ml in the glutted Northern markets. If all were to hold a pressure for money would come that would sweep every business house and enterprise of the. country into hopeless bankruptcy. But we have no apprehension of any general resort to this latter alternative, for pro ducers are conscious of their obliga tions and of the disastrous consequences that would follow their repudiation, or un willing postponement. The adoption of resolutions, to cut down the cotton acreage next year,'to’ matter how unanimously made nor how strongly worded, will have no ini- mediate effect on prh*«*. A* soon as It is demonstrated by actual facts that the cotton growers mean business and in- Notice. w inferior cotton, sand nor Water is per mitted.in the baling. This preparation will insure a ready sale at the-fn-st cur rent prices, while the neglect of these precaution* will probably f-ause a 1o*h of from five dollar* to ten tlollar* per bale to the farmer, upon every bale h** produces. Hitherto many of our plan ter* could atlord to take the'easier course and gin good, bad and indiffer ent cotton together, but as the indica tions point to ruinous price* for me dium and inferior grades next season, it behooves every cotton producer to ex ercise the utmost care in preparing hi* crop for market. \Ve trust thaLoiir friends to whom thisiettur is addressed, will apfcxLeiate our motive trUofleri ng this advice "Tor their benefit, and that they ■will circu late it among their neighbors. .
