TIE CoTToN pLANT.-TEe New York Farmer, Tn an article upon the CD,ton Plant. says:

 Perhaps no physical event illustrates more remarkably and clearly the supeintendence of Providence, than the Cotton Plant. Al this moment it has an imporlatl influence In preserving peace between tn. two great. est maritime powers, and perh.ps between the whole civilized world. Tho interests of all classes in Great Britain are directly or indirectly dependent on the uninterrupted supply of cotton from the United States. A very large portion of the most influential of the Southern States would be reduced to bankruptcy by the suspension, for a few years, of the demand for cotton from Great brlta'n. The value of properly, throughout 'he co'ton.growlng States, would be greatly depreclatcd by rupture between this and the mother country. The statesmen of Great Britain and those States foresee these and Consequent evils, and h,nce much of that "nwllngness in the Southern States to provoke useless and bloody Should ruPture take place, it would stimulate the grow.h of cotton in the Eat Indies and |" oouth America, resulting probably in Permanent Injury to our Southern sec- ton

 When we consider tlie apparently acci. dental circumstance that led 10 the culture of cotton in this country, and the immense and varied interests that have grown out of it-interesls that affect the moral, reli. gious, social, political and physical position of the whole world-we see chain of events that can owe its existence to no other than the Creator himself.
