THE COTTON CULTURE IN INDIA.


THE YoaTH AND TIE SOUTH.


A few months since, the notice oil the
South seemed directed to this subject, anc
a hope was indulged that It woald be IN
yestigatcd in ali its details. More re.
Gently. however, The public press has paid
bnt little attention to the matter, anG the
opinions seems TO prevail among many q
our Southern brethren, that Great Britain
cannot compete successfully in her Indian
possessions. with the cotton regions oi
the South. This may be so; but never
theless the interest is SO important, and
involves oso great degree the prosperity
Of the southern section Of The Union, that


it should not be passed By lig"tly. Some
of tie northern journals still contend that
the day IS not far distant, when prohb-
itory duty upon American cotton. viii
awaken tie South from its suicidal slum-
Der. This IS the language of the Boston
Atlas, journal that has paid much at
tention 10 the subject, and, IS We believe,
with objects purely national and patriotic.
The Atlas of late date says;-Peansgl-
ecnia Enquirer.
