ER-PRoEUCTIoN OF CoTToN.-This sub ject continues to attract much attention al the South. The papers in ihe cotton growing States are suggesting many remedies; among the most pro- mnent of which is d convention of planters, to form some plan by which a reduction oi the crop can be effected, thus 10 diminish the growth of cotton, ana 10 effect an advance Tn prices Another and more sensible plan in, that of buidingaclories to manulac- ture their own cotton goods of medium quality, thus keenng their money at hoae, creating a home mar ke' for their cotton, and decreasing the amount grown, by divefing part of the labor to manaiac- turing purposes

 third methud, and the one most likely to be ef- fcemt, from the facility with which il be adop. ted, is io change the articles grown in the South to a moderate extent Instead of cotton alone, it is suggested that in the culture of madder. silk, indI- go, and variety of other articles, Ihe planters will find a profitable return for their slave labor. The immediate profit of the new crops will be more than the present profit of the cotton crop, while the labor on the cotton will be better paid.

 IL IS also recomm nded that cotton be more gen erally used for mattresses and comforters. It ls calculated that by this new means of consumption, full 230. 265 bales may be consumed by ten of the Slave States alone, the article of mattresses and bedding. The general introduction of cotton in the way proposed, can not be accomplished, and after giving due credit to the originator Of this plan for the consumption of their cotton, it must be apparent to every one, that some other way must be thought of to get i'd of hs surplus, besides sleeping upon 1t A division of labor and more extended list oi ar' ticles grown is what is wanted in the cotton grow ing States, The people of the South are beginning to see and feeI that the exclusive cultivation of an, one staple not the of the agrIculuris To make money by agriculture, il must always be borne in mind, that il will not do to buy what car be better ra,sed at home. The agricultural South States must practice this principle in relation tc their manufacturing neghborsr of tho Nor:h. The freight lists of the vessels from New York and the East look wrong for the pockets of the South There too many cotton goods shipped there fol the wear of slaves; too much wooden ware, agr cultural tools, and all the infinite variety of smal manufactures, called by the South m derision, Yan kee NotIona." IL is by the manufacture ofthese no tions, that New England has become rich. IL needs nothing buta moderate effort the part of the South, to take the manufacture of these things from them. The South is fnll of water power and mate rals for nanuacturing purposes, which have only tc be improved 10 be the of wealth to the South not only by keeping their money al home, bu, by di. verting ihe slave labor from the production of cot ton, which from a'source of wealth to the South appears. in fair way to ruin them, from the great iacihty with which its production can be increased An evil like the over production of cotton, is graua in it's effects, and is remedied with much care and time. ..et.f. a.
