FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 19, 1868 Cotton Plantar and Manufacturers. We some time ago noticed the formation of a National Association of Planters and Manufacturers of Cotton that this, as a means of direct intercourse and trade between the producer and the buyer, would be of great benefit to both, we cannot doubt Both supply and demand will thus become easy "of ascertainment, and thus ciuwOt rail to add to the security of each. One of the Vice Presidents of this society ft Col. James M.

Wesson, the President of the Wesson Manufacturing Company of Mississippi, who has addressed the following appeal to the people of Mississippi, which might well be read by those of every other cotton producing State. We trust that every Southern newspaper will direct the attention of its readers to tho consideration of the topics therein presented, as we are requested by Col. Wesson to aak t'uem to do: TO TBS FEOl'LR OF MISSISSIPPI. On the 29th of May Ufct, in the city of New York, according to previous a number of gtnliemen met fori be purpose of orauizing a National Cotton Planters' and Manufacturers' Association." The meeting whs com pesed of manafactarere from all of the Southern and Eastern States. The organization 'was perfected by the election of trie Hon.

"Amoe Lawrence, of Boston, aa Preaid nt, and Vice President from each State represented, with committees on finance, machinery, statistics and raw material, with an able hoard of directors. The objects of the association are, to observe, with constant attention, all national legislation ou questions affecting these brauches of in coatry, and to use all proper influences to guard against enactments detrimental to their interests and to promote all each aa may appear right and beneficial. To collect, collate, digest and disseminate among the members accurate statistical information in relation to the production and manufacture of cotton, to promote and encourage iu cultivation in our country, to show the identity of interest oetween the cotton planters and man afartnrera, and generally to accomplish by associated efforts whatever may be for the common good. The by laws of the association provide for the establishment of an auxiliary association In each State, under tbe immediate supervision of tbe Vice President and other officers. The officers for this State are James M.

Wesson, of ttchvu, iw i id jqui i vvi. Humphries, of Colnmbui, Director; aud Major Jamee Hamilton, of Wesson, Committee on Statistics. The object of this communication is to solicit the aid ef the pre in forming a subsidiary association to be known as the Planters' and Mann fact Brers' Association of UUsiesiDoi. and ia arptog upon each county the importance of lxviuiiy laiiuK Biepa to lorui auxiliary associations with the necessary oirk ere, and that they meet by their delegates at an early Jay In Jackson, (the day to be agreed npon and dulv notified through the several newspaper) to e'eet officers and perfect the organization, of the Planting and Manufacturing Associa tion of Mississippi. The object aud purpose of the county associatioas should he to ascertain and report statedly, from the present until the crop matures, the probable amount of production the comparative amount of laud iu cotton culture the seasons aud condition of the crops, and the casualties which eiit or threaten.

The experience of the last oeason show conclusively the importance aud necessity of ruth inlornuuion. In ignorance of the shortness of the crop, the plan'er had sold his cotton at ruinously low rates before the ascertained fcbort crop had restored prices to thirty cents. Until thee aenocidtlona are formed throughout the States, all planters and m.ina factarers are respectfully requested to famish Major James Hamilton with the desired information as to the tacts abo ye mentioned the name and location of inufaotories dates of incorporation of company name aud address of officers or proprietors, if not incorporated the number of looms and epindlee in each mill the quantity of cotton consumed each year when running on full time tbe number of yarns spun, and a description, In general terms, of the different fabrics made amount of capital invested the supply, character and efficiency of labor and whether ran by steam or water power. This statistical information, when collected and arranged, should be published in a convenient form and placed in the bhnds of each member of the several association, and, in order to do ttiia, I recommend that each member be required to pay a email admission fee. It is very desirable that the work be com' menced at "once, and with a zeal that will se cure its full benefits in the present crop.

Such oriCRn 'zalions will greatly promote the agri cultural mtereet generally aud if like iutor mntion in regard to all the crops of the State conld be furniwhed and amused at the same time, tbe result would be most beneficial to the general interests of agricultural, commer ce! and manufacturing ot the Mate.

Beuben Qoulding, of Stokes county, has sold his fortre.

It Is the inten tion of the company to go largely into the manufacturing business. A company, to be known as the Cape Fear Fibre Company," has been formed at Wilmington, for manufacturing paper pulp from the common cane. The company ex pects to oegin operations wittiin two months, The Journal describes the mode of treatment to which the cane is to be subjected, as fol lows "Tbe mode of treating the cane is as fol lows: Tightly compressed bundle of it are pnt in tbe steam cylinders or guns and then subjected to the action of steam, at a pressure of about 170 pounds to the inch, for about ten minutes. The gums and glutinous matters which hold the fibres together are thereby dissolved, or softened and whilst in that state the cane is blown into the air by the force of tbe steam the gun.

and the fibres are sena rated by the expansion of the steam amongst The fibres are shot against a large target witn considerable lorce, and the discharge resembles that of arlillerv. "A battery of ten steam guns of the emallor size, twenty four feet Ions' and twelve inrhn in diameter, willyield over fifty tons of blown cane per day. To sumlv uteam for th tn guns for twenty four hours, less than ten tons of coal is required.

Mail. BP One of the young members of tho Chinese Embassy got tight in Washington, and exemplified one of the characteristics ef (lis nation by being a Ej squ. a i Trovatore," by New Orleans Artie ta. We are bo accustomed to think that oar opera must come from abroad, that the Varie ties was only DaruaHv tilled Wednesday niirht. when it should have been aa crowded as it was at the 8f Anna's Asylum Tableaux.

Yet the hearty applause whioh so constantly followed the singing of one and all of those who sustained the chief roles of the Trovatore, applause from old habitues of the opera, now sated after tbe close of a long season of enjoyment of the best company which Paris has for long time sent us, showed that we could produce the opera here with resident performers in quite as satisfactory style as almost any imported company has given it to us, and we can without any exaggeration say better than New York, Boston' or Philadelphia can do without sending for recruits from abroad. Let us briefly sketch the performers. Marietta Scbiavonl is a pure soprano, with a voice of very great sweetness and power, es peeially iu the apper register, where she has both volume and the power to rise, even beyond tbe usual vocal limits, and with that sympathetic intonation so seldom heard, which our people recollect in the voice of Annie McLean and some few others. It has also the high cultivation which the Italian school bestows on those who are crowned its queens of song, of whom Schiavoni was one. And then she is an admirable actress.

She wus constantly and enthusiastically applauded. Mr. AuttUBte Davis was raised among us. II is is a voice of great sweetness and parity, well modulated and practiced, which though tiot very heavy is ot pure metal aud rings well, lie disappointed his friends Wednesday uight, in this hi il. but in opera, by a most rediUil.ia pel foi man of a trying role, singing with artistic still and acting altogether atisfactorily.

ine Boudro, contralto, is an astonishing woidku. Her impersonation of Atazena was masterly, and her singinu throughout was excellent. All were peculiarly pleased with the duo in the fourth act between her and Man rico. Mr Panting, as Conle di was somewhat iueilective at first, but eoou warmed up into a good barytone and thorough artor. The part of Frrnando was excelleutly sustained by Mr.

Krebs, basso of the Crmrob. of the immaculate Conception, who both by the strength and volume of his voice, his correct singing of his music, and by good acting, gratified his multitude of frie'nds, who insist that hereafter he shall not go on the bills merely as A. Nor can we conclude this without commending the masterly leadership ofCarlo Futti. When we recollect that this was mostly an amateur performance, only one performer in which bad ever sustained euch parts in opera, that moreover they suug half a tone above the music by which they had rehearsed, it haviug beeu discovered only the day before that the ordinary scores for the orchestra had been taken by the opera company to Kurope, aud no others on that key were to be found, and that this made it very difficult both for him to lead aud for the vocalists to sing true to the accompanimont on so short noiice, with no time for practise, we may well congratulate all, leader aud performers alike, on the admirable and successful manner in hich they produced this opera before their fellow citizens. We only regiet that the house could not have more than paid its expenses.

We trust that after this exhibition ot what they are capable of doing, a subscription will be got gii to recure us a series of such performances dminir the opera vacation, at proper intervals of time, tu not to make them wearisome or too costiy.

Important to htat Grows. Vve copy the following from tne riaabville Gazette, ot the 14th An old and experienced farmer of William son county gives it as a fact that the following method is a sure prevention oi tne insect wee vil in wheat. Iu piling up your wheat, alter it has been cleaned witn tne tan, to every three bushels put in a good hard brica, well dried bv the sun. and be sure it is perfectly dry at the time you use it. The brici absorbs tee moisture that naturally accumulates iu tne train and causes it to become so hard and flinty that tbe insect or ny cannot penetrate the outer covering.

We are assured by per sons who have made the experiment it is 84 easy and simple, we would advise oar friends who grow or deal wheat to try it. (Fiom theBuropean Times, May 30. Mr. Gladstone on the Commercial Treaty Kith. Fraiice.

Mr. Gladstone has addressed the following letter to the French Embassador in London, the Prince de la Tour d'Auvergue Mi Dear Princ I see mentioned in to day Star that M. Kolb Bernard has accused me, in the Legislative Chamber of France, of having declared that the treaty of commerce conferred upon England advantages five times greater than those which France would de rive from it. I have never made such a declar ation, and I regard It as contrary to ike truth. Having often had occasion to speak of the treaty with France, I have never had the rashness to compare with precision the groat advantages which it conferred upon the two countries respectively but, whether right or wrong, nave never hesitated to declare that, in my opinion, tbe advantages would be great for us, and even greater for France.

It would be foolish self love to interrupt vou in order to give this declaration, but I am very aesirous oi not oecoming an instrument, Dy means of a declaration entirely destitute of foundation, to weaken in the least degree in the world the position of your Government before the Corps Leeielatif relative to this important question.

The Planter and the Merchant Tns Wbbk.lt Picatunb ITow many men of business understand or appreciate the immense and indispensable advantages of judicious advertising 1 They have some hazy notions about bringing their business before the public, but the right manner of doing this, or the extent to which it ought to be carried, is seldom duly considered Some Bpend hundreds upon hue posters, merely to be gazed at by the listless street loiterer. Others, like our commission houses aud large wholesale establishments, throw away thousands annually upon traveling aifents, while a few hundred dollars expended in advertising in a paper of established character, influence aud wide circulation, would realize returns a hundred fold. Iu these days of the penny presn no other medium affords so wide and cheap a publfbity to business as the newspaper. Our commission merchant), factors and wholesale houses should remember this, and in connection therewith recall the fact that throughout the Midaiasippi Valley, the region upon which this city is dependent for its commercial prosperity, no other journal circulates so widely as the Weekly Picayune. Tbe newspaper is the surest and cheapest medium of communication between the mer chant and the planter, the wholesale jobber and the country dealer.

The way to revive trade and take advantage of the dull sea son of summer, is to advertise in a paper of the extended circulation of the Picayune. A square or two of advertising in the Picayune during the "dull seasoti," will bring more business to the merchant in the bnsiiidss sea son than thousands spent on traveling agenta. The i in Misrcri.

It says the press of Matamoros openly cursed them for coming to Mexico, that the custom house officials oppressed them, and that the people muttered curses at them and charged tlTem several prices for the necessaries of life. Spies followed them around, after they reached their destination, to see whether they had arms or not, and those who had arms were obliged to pay largely for licenses for them or submit to coiifiecation.
