Cotton Its Culture and the Prospect t Future Crops. The London Quarterly Reclew, In a rcnt article on Dr. LtviKTOjrK'i work on "Zam besi and Its Tributaries," gives to the British public tho following; paragraph "Th basin of the Shire Is characterize by a sarios of torraces, tho first belnt below the Hurchian Falls, the sooond a plateau two tuousaad, an the third three thousand leet in altitaae; it must there fore potsosa a ceasldarable variotv o' climate; but eottoa Is extensively CBlttvateai on all the terraces, and tho population was ererywhero absorved to be encBROd picklujr, c.caninit, or spinninir It. As it in doubtful whether the cotton cultivation f the former slave Staios ef America will ever revive uador a system of free labor, any addition to our know lec'iroof tho districts wiisre a material so essential for maintnluiiiK our maHnfacturlns; pre-eminonoe can be easilv aud ebeaply produced, bocoinoi r the kiiiiest importance." The idea thus thrown out ia being gravely considered in Eajflaml, and the main argu ments advanced in favor of official support being given to the distinguished traveller whose work is exoitlig so much attention, is that by his explorations a country can pro bably be secured from which the mills of Man Chester can be supplied with eotto, inde pendent of the United States. Such a wish is very dear to tho British heart. T be free from the bonds which bind hut to America would be the culmination of her prosperity. 8ke would sacrifice, Borne of her wealth; she would pay a little mere for another product than ours. She would do anything, so that it did not affect her profits, to break from her dependence on the United States. In her do sire to carry out this plan, the world has been ransacked to discover ceUon-flelds. Am attempt was made in Egypt, bat mo cotton came. India was invaaed, and the Sepoys made to act as field hands ; hut the expense of freightage increased the price, and the scheme was abandoned. A few small plantations near Cape Town furnish a score of bales, but taken as a whole, the efforts to secure cotton lrom other than the Southern States have been most unmitigated failures. The Government now designs to invade the mysteries ef the Zambesi, and soek to cull some cotton pods from the teraces at Murcbison Falls. The prospects of success in the now Quixotic en terprise are a little darker than those of its predecessors,! and we may deem it decreed that the busy looms of Britain' will have to continue, for many years yet, to come to our shores to seeure tbey supplies. This fact makes it a matter of importance for us to understand what is the present appearance of future crops. If. the wofld is still to come to us lor supplies, it is a question of vital in terest to know whether we will bo able to meet the demand. In view of tho importance of furnishing the supply, It may be well for us to examine the prospect as given by an intel ligent and well-travelled Southerner. In the last number of De Bow'a Review ii an able article on the cultivation of cotton, which, as the need of capital is the great clog whieh retards Southern progress, and as capital must come from the .North, we will freely quote from. Da Bow gives us what is most needed tacts, not theories. To such of our readers as have money to Invest, we would repeat the data cost. In 1859, the expense of raising 850 bales, at 7 bales to a negro, was $5725. The value of that crop, at 5 cents a pound,was 17000. The profits, therefore, on the invest ment were less than $1500, which, when we think of the risk and the outlay, is a much loss remunerative business than almost any stock investment. Hence, all fears of successful competition from any new planta tions of Great Britain may bo abandoned, as with us labor is cheaper, transportation lower, and the fabric liner than any which England could secure. Although cotton is now worth ten times its value then, yet any competition would cause it to fall to such an extent that the enterprise of Great Britain, based on the present exorbitant rates, would be a lallure. Its very success wools' be Its destruction. Like tho cere its, It would expire bearing its flower. Therefore there need be no hesitation for fear of a depreciation of price because of foreign competition. , The items of expense neceisary to stock COO acres of good land are given by Da Bow from personal experience : 36 mules, karnuss, an ploughs ,. ...$3825 Oxen, carts, house, and tanning uteusim U30 Cotton seed, tlrai year 600 Corn, cows, and. cattle 1050 ' 86105 So much for stocking the farm. The car rent expenses daring the year, which are necessary, are also given : B ent for 500 acres, S6 3000 87 laborers' hire H'M)0 Clothing, food, auu lnociiciue 8175 Manager and book-keepor ViW "13,676 The total expense, then, for the first year, . would am ouut, on a fair average, to $10,000, or at the rate of $33 per acre. Now let as see 'the profits. Setting aside one-fourth of the land for clover and corn, there would be left 875 acres, which Db Bow assures us ought to yield at least one bale to each acre. At this rate the plantation would produce 108,750 pounds of cotton In one year. Its worth cannot be less than 35 cents, and will probably bo nearer 75. Taking 40 cents, . a minimum, as the average, wc find the Income would amount to $07,500 a pretty good return for a year'i Investment of $19,000' The time for planting is March and April; after the openintr of May it Is too late . Having thus given Db Bow's figures In legard to the Investment, let us look at his view in regard to the prospects of this year's crops. In his estimates, as in all thing! else he publishes, he speaks like a sensible, far seeing man. In 1800 the crop of all the South, with a fair season, would reach about 5,000,000 bales, but on the average It never went beyond 4,500,000. Taking this as a basis, let us view the results of the war. Tho negroes have been reduced in number one-fourth by death and diseaiofwhile we may safely say that in their present disorganized condition another quarter must be deducted from those who are willing to work. Th;, if all the land was cultivated, would yield 2,250,000 bales. From a leng tour through the South he infers that one-half of the land is uncultivated, which would reduce the crop to less than 1,120, 000 bales. De Bow thinks that 1,300,000 bales would be a fair estimate. We think that he rather underrates in one particular. We hold that free hands, working on a percentage, would do more labor than the slaves under the old system. We therefore believe that should the crop bo put at 1,500,000 bales, tho estimate would be perfectly just. In concluding this glance at the prospects f the cotton trade, we cannot do better than quote, from the article from which we have drawn our figures, its closing passage, in whieh it savs: ' Future years f emancipa tion may, and doubtless will, produce vastly iwrrevtd results. Certainly the field is a wide one, and Is open to enterprise and capi tal. We are among the hopetul." What the bx-Khbdl Lkadeks abb Doikg. The sudden collapse of the Rebellion has enabled all of those who held office under it to. say, with "Othello" that their occupa tion Is gone. 'From high official positions, with great power and large emoluments, they were reduced by that one stroke of fortune to the position of penniless traitors, without money, character, or business. The deck has now been cleared of tho chaos which followed the surrender of Lke, and let as 86 what ecupies the attention of the leaders of :outh ern chivalry. Davis and Clay Bt U are supported by the United States. KALVjky is boarding in Connecticut. te:&b 8 is farming his plantation in Georgia. S HD J as, Tuckm, and Thompsok still stay the balmy climate of Canada. Iee is teaching school, as President of Washington College. JoiiKBToaf is rebuilding tho Danville Railroad, of which he is Superintendent. Pembehton is farming in the western part of the Old Dominion. Dick Tat lob has leased a canal in Louisiana, and is employed in the trans portation of fiat-bottomed boats. , Fobbest Is raising corn on a plantation in West Tennes see. Such is the business of each of the leaders who were successful in their peculiar line. 1 he other class, those who failed so egregiously as Rebels, have adopted a more heroic line of characters, and are endeavoring to play Cobiolaittjs, after their failure to succeed as Catalixe. ' Among these we have Jbijal Eably, who acts as an officer of Maximilian) Pbiob, who leads a gue rilla band of fugitive Confederates in the provinces of Northern Mexico ; Kibby Smith, who issues manifestoes, but appears to have no troops, and men of lice stamp. And so they are all disposed of. The giants who, in the days or war, were looked upon with interest and watched with anxiety, are now I powerless, have fallen from their high estate, and are lower even than those who feared them. One turn ot the wheel has levelled thejr position. Whether they will rise depends rather on themselves than on fate. The great clemency of our Govern ment has reinstated them in their right to rise, if rise they can. The power of treason, broken and deformed, is well typified by the condition ef its leaders. The caase of law lias triumphed, and with its return has come destruction to all those whose ambition was too great to live as subjects. "This ever did rebellion find rebuke, Rebellion in this land shall lose its sway, Meeting the check et inch another day. And since this business so far fair is done, Lot us not leave till all our own be won." This is a personal in vitation to lha reader to ex auilutj our new trlei ot tIPktlKQ ( LOidla.
