We have seen in tho face of a crop of 1,350,000 bales, an effort made, and very nearly resulting tj in succccss, to coerce the acceptance of the same c prices, which were incident to one of 1,800.000 r bales. We ought not to rest our security on tho adverse omens of the crop, which is now grow- e ing under the will and dispensations of Frov:? 0 dence, which has already suffered in many quar. q tera from an intense drought, and in others from the ravages of the insects so tfostructivo to its growth and maturity. We should look beyond d tho era of tho short supply of the last year, and a an apprehendod deficit during the coming soa- gl ton. The lossons of economical wisdom belong to all seasons, and all times, and there is a sa!u. 11 tary truth in the homely aphorism, that those tl who do not take care of themselves, are not like, ly to be taken care of by others.

JULY 26, 1839. c; PROSPSCTUS " of the &&&&&&& I and a CHE RAW ADVERTISER. a The Editor of the Cheraw Gazette has de- si termined, at the suggestion of the Pee Dee n Agricultural Society, to devote more space >' than formerly to Agriculture, and matters per- h taining specially to its interests. About nine columns, or a page and a half weekly, will be occupied with this subject, excep when it shall be necessary to make room for Executive Messages, and a few other political papers ( such as every intelligent citizen ought to read. A large proportion of what shall appear under 11 the Agricultural head must, of course, be selected. But the numerous Agricultural periodicals now published in this country afford ^ abundant and excellent materials for selection; and, after a short tmie, the reports, and other ' papers of the Fee Dec Agricultural Society u Will of themselves, form no inconsiderable >r body of original matter, ail of it adapted par- ^ ticularly to this part of the country.

Ample ins ructions will be given, in their proper season, for cultivating the morus muhicaulis and making silk. 0 The paper will espouse the cauBe of no party **( in politics, but shall contain an impartial summaryofpolitical-inteJJigencCfaad, vecasionai/y, M able speeches and well written essays (when or met with) fairly discussing the principles and measures of all parties.
