Mr. Editor: Millions of dollars are lost annually by the cotton, planters through the carelessness of themselves and overseers, in gathering and prepar ing the crop for market. , I invite their attention to a few facts: : . - , . Recently, two hundred bales of. cotton were re ceived in Charleston from New York to complete a cargo for Spain. The reason of this was, fine cot ton was wanted, and in the whole stock of about 15,000 bales,' not enough could be commanded in Charleston of the requisite quality, though' 12 cents would have been paid for it. For the same reason, "several Spanish vessels loading for Spain had to leave Charleston and go to New York to complete their cargo. ' v I have been informed that in Mobile and New Orleans many thousands of bales have been sold, on planters' account, at from 2 to 4 cts per. lb. Thousands more have ! been shipped to Liverpool that will not pay expenses, and where advances have been made on it the reclamations will be a heavy tax on the growing crop of the planter. Think of this growing cotton for nothing, and paying out of the next crop for the privilege! F low soon, at this rate, would it take the finest property in plantation and negroes to eat itself up? Let planters reflect that every year the disparity between clean fine cottons and inferior trashy cot tons gets wider and wider. The demand for the former is ever ou the increase. The markets of the world arc glutted with the latter. There are but limited uses for it,' and it will take years to use up the present stock on hand of these lowest grades. Perhaps hundreds of thousands of these bales are wholly unmerchantable and will lie for years in Liverpool as an incubus upon prices. They will lie there to create a false idea of availa ble stocks on hand, and the manufacturers will use the fact as an argument to depress prices. Now it takes the same amount of capital and la bor, the same number of hands and mules, plows, hoes, &c, to produce one hundred bales of trashy cotton as it does of fair cotton. It takes almost the same time and trouble to pick and gin and pack, and the same quantity of bagging and rope to cover it, the same labor to haul it to a depot, and the same price for freight on cars and on ship board.. Yet in one case you can command 10 to 12 cents per lb. for it. ' In the -other you may be compelled to take 2, 3 or 4 cents for it. Yet taxes, overseers' wages, clothing, doctors' bills, are the same in one case as the other. Now is the time to think of these things and take practical action on the subject. The cotton picking season is near at hand. Now is the time for the careful planter to double his income, or cut it off one-half, according to the way in which his crop is handled Cotton Grower. Pay As You Go. John Randolph of Roan oke, said that the whole economic wisdom of life lay in four words: Pay as you go. It is as true as truth itself. No man can tell how he is living if bills come floating loosely tin like snow flakes. He will be deeply involved before he knows it. Besides nobody receives the worth of .his money who buys goods on credit. He always pays fifteen or twenty per cent more than the cash purchaser.

Dallas Texas,. July 21, 18G0. The burning of Dallas and several farm houses in this County ,'.has"led to!, the, discovery of a most diabolical plot to devastate the whole of Northern Texas. At first the fire rwas believed to be . accU dental, but the successive burning of farm houaes, aud the firing of many other towns and. stores in this .section, caused reflecting men, to adopt means to .ferret out, if possible, the. cause of such wholesale destruction. . It seemed almost impossi ble that so many jJaees should be fired simultane ously, and , that at , should -be accidental. The out house, granaries, oats and grain of Mr Drill Miller was destroyed a few days after the dstruc tion of Dallas. This led to the .; arrests of some white men, whose innocence, however, .was proved beyond a doubt. Several negroes, belonging to Mr Miller, were taken up and examined, and de velopments of the most startling character elicited. A plot to destroy the country was revealed, and every circumstauce, even to the minutiae, detailed. Nearly or quite a hundred negroes have been ar rested, and upon a close examination, separate and apart from each other, they deposed to the existancc of a plot or conspiracy to lay. waste the country by fire and assassination to impoversh the land by the destruction of the provisions, arras and ammunition, and then when in a state of help lessness, a general revolt of the negroes was to be gin on the 1st Monday in August, the day of elec tion for State officers. This conspiracy is aided and abetted by Abolition emissaries - from the North, and by those in our midst. The details of the plot, and its modus operandi, are these: Each County in Northern Texas has a supervisor in the person of a white man, whose name is not given; each County laid off into Districts, under the sub-agents of this villain, who control the ac tion of the negroes in said Districts, by whom the firing was to be done. Many of .our most promin ent citizens were singled out fur assassination whenever they made their escape from their burn ing homes. Negroes never before suspected, are implicated, and the insurrectionary movement is wide-spread to an extent truly alarming. In some places the plan was conceived in every form shock ing to the mind, and frightful in its results. Pois oning was to be added, and the old females was to be slaughtered along with the men, and the young and handsome women to be parceled out. amongst these infamous scoundrel?. They had even cone 60 far as to designate their choice, and certain, la dies had already been selected as the victims of these misguided monsters Fortunately, the Country has been saved from the accomplishment of these horrorsj but then, a fearful duty remains for us. The negroes have been incited to these infernal proceedings by Abolitionist?, and the emissaries of certain preachers who were expelled from the Country last year. Their agents hae been very busy amongst us, and many of them have been in. our midst. Some of them have been identified, and have fled from the country," others still remain, to recive a fearful accountability from - an outraged and infuriated people. Nearly a hundred negroes have testified that a large reinforcement of Aboli tionist are expected on the 1st August, and these to be aided by recruits from the Indian tribes, while the Rangers are several hundred miles to the North of us. It was desired to destroy Dallas, in order that the arms and ammunition of the artil lery company might share the same fate. ; Our jails are filled with the villians, many of .whom will be hung and that very -soon. A man , was found hung at our neighboring city of Fortworth, two days ago, believed to be one of those scoundrels who are engaged in this work. Wo learn that he had stored away a number of rifles, and the day after he was hung a load of six-shooters passed on to him, but were not intercepted. He was betray ed by one of his gang, hence his plans were thwart ed. Many others will share his fate. . I have never witnessed such times. . We are most pro foundly excited. We go armed day and night, and know not what we shall , be called upon to do. the circumstances are frightful, and I fear that the trouble is not confined to this State. It behooves every true man to buckle on his armor, and fight the good fight for his country's good. Special Corretjtondi'nce lloxifton Telegraph.

" MrBkeckinriixje Opposed to Emancipation. The following statement is from the Kentucky Statesman. It is an authentic denial of the charge against - Mr Breckinridge of having been an emancipationist... We hope those who have given publicity to this false accusation will give this paragraph an insertion. , The Statesman says. . "It is charged that. Mr Breckinridge voted the emancipation ticket in 184i. The facts ar-3 : He was in that year a candidate on the pro-slavery ticket for the Legislature, and opposed the emancipation cause' from every stump in - the County. He voted against his uncle, Kev.

A man . lately received twenty lashes, well laid on, at ihe whipping post in an English town. The culprit,' instead of bellowing when the constable applied the lash, laughed immoderately which made the angry officer lay on with harder force. .On giving him the twentieth blow; the enraged officer could, stand it no longer. "Well here, Mister," said the offended officer "I have done my duty, and I can lick ye no more, but I'd just like to know what it is that's so funny V "Funny," roared the other, "why it's excellent You have got the wrong Smith.

' The moralist "will inform us that it is virtue, but the man of the world gives it as his belief that it is movey. 1 Alas! it is too true that -this latter definition too often ' prevails in this age of progress, and when the , question is pro pounded 'how much is he worth?' it has generally an exclusive reference to the dross of the earth. If a m&Q isrich, though he were the greatest villian uphung, you are told h is worth so many dollars, but if fortune should frown Upon him, and ho pos sesses all the virtue and intelligence of - an "angel you are informed io & sneering ' tone, ' he "u not . tporth a tent." ' ,: : ; ;''.:.-; ' '- ---;- Be it understood; gentle reader, we do not cavil at the possession of money," it is a good; yea." a neces sary thing, but' when it is made . the Summum BoMum, it becomes degrading to human nature. Truly has the inspired writer said, 'the love of money is the root of all evil." It destroys the spirit of patriotism, ' crushes out itocial benevo lence, and causes friendship to be but indeed ar name- It creates in man a fever for. possession, and under its baneful influence, he would sell his country, like Judas sold his Saviour, for pieces of silver." 1 ' - The mind that looks upon riches as "the one thing needful," destroys every principle of honor that is great and noble. Let ua then beware how we are charmed by its syren voiee-for when we . make money the standard of worth, and not merit, how can we expect that the youth of our country will pant for social virtues and intellectual im provements?' And let us remember this truth that the spirit of liberty cannot long remain among a people who teach the pernicious doctrine that wealth and worth are the same thing, and that the end of such people shall be eternal death. Greene boro Times. -'' Babes in the Woods. Three young children of J. B. Hawley's at Hornellsville, New York, were lost in the woods on Saturday last,' while hunting berries. The neighbors, to the number of 10U, turned out in search and found them. : The fol lowing touching 'narrative of Mary the eldest of the children, is given in the Hornellsville Journal: After passing the residence of a near neighbor, they went up the" green road, which is over the bridge by the left hand stone quarry, and took the right hand road at the foot of the dark-ravine. They went a little ways and found winter-greens plenty, and picked a great many, wandering on for nearly two hours, They then thought it time to return home, but on turning about for that purpose, they found themselves in a strange place, and could not find the road," or anv way out. They sat down on a log to think and sat there a long time, finally giving up, that they were lost. Mary, tho eldest, said to the others, "let us pray to God to help us to find our way out," and kneeling there by the log, with hands uplifted, tliey "prayed for deliverance.
