Jud'dng from hat has been grown per year, should set down the probable amount for this year, at 2 000 bales, which, according to his rate of prices, would amount to but $40,000. iVe tliink this a far tno'rc reasonable cal culation. -Again he is mistaken; the "loafers" have not all left; they are so thick in certain pi ices, that it ould bo difficult to stir them with a poker. Mr.

Smith: -As speculations in opin ions as to what is to be the final winding up of matters and things in this our country, seems to nave entirely sneculations iu property, which i was but recently the order ol the day, 1 propose givingjsome desultory thoughts of my own upon this all engrossing -to. pic. It is often said that the darkest part of the night is just before day, This opinion has no doubt gained credibility irom the fact that those who are "anxious to see tli'c. gloom of night dispelled by the morning light, usually imagine the darkness greater than it is, because they know that the time must bo near when the wished for change ought according to the established laws of nature take place. '1 am inclined to think that such is the situation of the country in relation to its pecuniary embarrassments, at least so in this county, and I have no doubt -many other parts of the state, is concerned.

Bringing suits upon all claims has become so common, that every One who is in debt as a matter of course, to be sued. One suit instituted naturally begets others, for each creditor of the party sued feels that it is necessary for his own security, to also sue his debtor, that others may not acquire a legal advantage over him, and the party sued is driven into a similar course towards his debtors in order to. prepare to meet his responsibilities; and in this way a kind of panic pervades the whole community5 as extensive as any gotten up by regular panic makers. There are brought to the present term of the circuit court of this county, 135 suits upon claims amounting to about including about $7,00 sued for by the Union Bank. Out of this amount there will not perhaps be finally recovered or collected after deducting that brought against insolvent persons and against defendants who will successfully.

resist claims in whole or in part, exceeding the sum of There will most probably be made in the county of Attala, during the present year, 3,003 bales of cotton, and as the county will no doubt upon an average, make its entire supply of provisions, we may safely calculate the cotton as an excess of production, except so far as groceries, bagging and rone and iron, and other goods necessarily consumed which cannot be produced in the county, arc to be subtracted. Say then that the county will have above what is wanting to purchase these indispcnsible articles, an excess of 2,000 bales, which at the low price of even $30 per bale, will yield a nelt product of $60,000 to pay debts and purchase luxuries and as a surplus capital. Our county is increasing in wealth in another particular, much more rapidly than from what it derives from the safe of cotton. The increase of all kinds of cattle "and stock which the county of Attala is so eminently calculated to produce, and the increased quantity of land brought into the cultivation of small grain and bread stalls, arp its surest and most permanent1 sources of wealth and prosperity. 1 will also take occasion to pay a passing compliment to the ladies of Attala, who arc certainly entitled to distinction in this state or any other portion of the south, for their enterprise and industry in manufacturing domestic goods for family The common staple dry goods are now vorv little sought after in our stores.

The "loafers" have nearly all left, and indus-try, the true source of wealth and contentment has taken their place; and it is to be hoped that the crv of "give us banks and bank relief," vvill no longer bo heard in the land. I canthcreforo see no good reason "why this county may not during tho present year, and out of the present crop, be mcasurbl released from its embarrassment. Tho valuation law passed at tho last session of tho legislature, will step in to relieve by extending from ono to two years longer to all on whose property executions have not yet been levied, and the moment the panic subsides, there will no longer bo a sacrifi cing of property nt Sheriffs' sales. I am satisfied that a little forbearance and spirit, of lenity and accommodation, will soon place this county in a better situa tion than it ever has "been, for it has now nn abundant -supply of tho necessaries ol life, not boiiiiht fro in abroad, but produced from its own soil.

1 tei LLl3 Liij hi WILLIAM E. SMITH, VOL. II. r. HARD TIMES.

This expression, Mr. Editor, is in the mouth of almost every; one with whom we meet; and yet, how few are preparing for the cricia that awaits', us how few are adopting rules of rigid economy, notwithstanding they are absolutely necessary for rill i If the present generation do not curtail their expenses, they ill repent' of their foil when it is too late. Extravigance, however, is the order of the day, and he that is not cxtravigant, of course is not fashionable; and one had almost as well be out of the world 'as out of the fashion. This at least appears be the prevailing opinion with the majority of the people; for although they may deny. the doctrine in theory, yet they daily admit it in practice.

A. gave seven hundred and fifty dollars for his carriage, therefore it would never do, fof Muj.B's family to ride in one tint only cost seven hundred dollars, 'notwithstanding tho income of the former is much greater than the latter. Mr. L. paid a hundred and fifty dollars for his carpet, therefore Mr.

II. must have ono of the same kind, although he is compelled to get it op, a credit, or not at all." The credit system is the parent of extravigance, and extravigance the direct road to want and It is an undeniable fact, that, attempts to kcepupfwith tho fashions of the age, have, been tho ruin of thousands. Reform then is necessary, and the sooner the better. For my part, I consider that man more of a gentleman who pays fifteen dollars his coaf, than he who promises forty-five for his, and knows that it will never bo- ill his power to pay the debt. Whenever an individual is afflicted with a proud heart and abesc- garYpurse at the same time, he is in a sad condition.

'It the whole community would throw aside -their foolish notions for vain show, and would bo more industrious, economical and domestic, we should soon sec our country more prosperous and happy, and have less rea son to complain of hard times. That the Banks, by their malpractices, have contributed largely to bring about the present deplorable state of things, 1 shall not pretend to deny; on the other hand, I firmly believe it to be the case. 1 arn unwilling, however, that the banks should be charged with all the burdens under which we are now fHVirmnirr.

Ian like the wandering Prodigal, have foolishly wasted their fortunes; and it is well known to every one ot experience, that idleness leads to vice and criminali ty. It has beeu iustlv remarked, that 'an idle man's head is tho devil's work shop." In conclusion, permit me to relate the last advice of a hither to his son 'Be honest in your dealings with mnn: be industrious and economical tell the truth in every instance, and be certain to pay for newspapers in hard times. -RUSTIC Census foti I'S IO.

Because he is incompetent from want ot the requisite' intellectual qualifications to fill the office. In this respect his friends have claimed for him no merit.

Tie was avowedly selected on the grounds of his 'availability and not in consideration of any qualifications he possessed for the station. ,2 Gen. Harrison is an Abolitionist. In. "addition to the fact of his receiving the support of presses and the abolition party, he has been, if he is not at tho present moment, a member of an Abolition society lias, moreover, publicly declared' Inuiissif hi favor of placing the surplus revenue of the country in iljo hands of these fanatics for the purpose of purchasing and libera'ting the, slaves! 3.

He is a Federalist of Region of Terror stamp; and when charged by, John Randolph with being an open and zealous supporter, of the sedition law and black cockade Administration he admitted it. 4. He is in favor of Internal Impro vements by the maintaining that Congress possesses the power to make roads and canals within thcrcspeptivc States, and so voted in Congress in oppsitkm to every State Rights 'member in that body. 5. He advocates a high a protective Tariff; and not only so, but even the taxing of many of the necessaries of life.

In 1827 and 8 in the United States Senate ho opposed all reduction of the tariff, and. in June last, capped the climax of his absurdity on this su bject by declaring that ho would sooner see the streets of Norfolk and Charleston covered with grass, than consent to a modification or a repeal of the Tariff laws." G. He is in favor of a National Bank with branches, "penetrating every part of Jhe country an institution unknown to. the Constitution of the Government, and, as cspcrLnce has proved, dangerous to the liberties and prejudicial to tne interests ol the people. 7.

Whan a member' of the Ohio Legis lature he voted in favor of selling white men into servitude for debt a measure in perfect consonance with his black cockade principles. The famed blue law code of Connecticut, the reproach of which, that State is endeavoring to remove under the plea that the code is fabulous, a similar provision. C. He contends for the right of Congress to abolish slavery; and insists that with the consent of the slave-holding States there is no Constitutional objection to it. "Tlie cause of said he in his 4th of July Oration at Che viot, Ohio, in 1833, is an object mi and added that by a zealous undertaking of the, w'ork by Congress, we might look lorward to a day not far distant when a North American sun would not look down upon slave.

With the consent of the slave-holding states! So with her consent alone all the other States should be taxed. And there is "no constitutional objection to this 1" 9. Geh. Harrison first acquired noto riety as candidate for the Presidency of tho United States through the political Anti-Masons of Pennsylvania. He a-yows himself'' the oldest Anti-Mason in the country, having formed his prejudices against jiMasonrp as far back as ho can remember." The right to disbelieve in the utility of this institution no one questions; but tho attempt to press such disbelief into service tor purposes and personal ambition, can only bo regarded with public scorn and de testation.

10., Gen. Harrison is in favor of distributing the proceeds from the National domam among the States; or in other words, in favor of taxing the whole people to pay the debts which the inprovi-dence of," few States had contracted; for whatever is withdrawn from tlie National treasury to reprieve, tho profii-gacv, of State legislation must be imme diately replaced by taxatouV direct or otherwise, to meet. the unavoidable ex penditures of the Government. 1 1.

Harrison would give ascendency to principles at war with the constitution and spirit or our government principles repudiated at the very organization! and which Jef ferson, Madison, Jackson and Van Bu- ren have patriotically ithstood. 17.

The officers in every department of the Government would be filled with profligate politicians and demagogues, now bound together as leaders of a party by no other tio than their ambition tor power a party, numbering, to be sure, many men "of worth, but chiefly made up of the various factions of the country, Federalists, Abolitionists, apostates, Anti-Masons, stock jobbers, spec ulators and' disappointed, politicians. 18. Congress itself has pronounced the incapacitvof Gen. Harrison. When a resolution was before the Senate of the U.

S. directing module. to be struck in honor of Harrison and Gov. Shelby, a motion to sinks oul the name of Gen. Harrison was ducidetl in the alllinrmtive a descisiun too unequivocal to be mistaken that his services were not entitled to this mark, of approbation from the Government.

Gen. Harrison himself considered by this act he had been disgraced in the eyes of the Nation, and in a letter on the subject says, a vote of tha Senate of the U. S. has attached to my name A DISGRACE, which I am convinced that time or no effort of mine willbe able to dace, and which -yiW cause the blush to rise upon the, cheek of my children." 19. There is canker which lies at the root of all his opinions.

He is a Federalist in all his principles, whatever he may have assumed to be in his letter of 10.22, Ha denies the right of tho States to interpose, in their sovereign capacity, whenever they think their most important rights are assailed the General Government. According his doctrine, they have no remedy in their own hands. He thinks With the Federalists of "83, that their only resource is to appeal to tho Federal Judiciary who may right" them, if they sec fit though from that esprit de crops, which more or less runs through all the 'departments of the Federal Government, it is scarcely to bo a Federal Judge would against his own caste.

MARSHAL. (From the Cahawba (Ala.) Democrat.) THE FOUND BOY. A few days ago, on my return from the Northern part of tho 'State, I stopped for tho night the house of 'Mr. James Moore, in the county of Bibb. 'Vlya Hon.

James Davis, who married a daughter; of Mr. Moore, and his lady were there, who had with them ahoy a-bout five years of age. Ho has fairsjiin, black eyes ar'l dark hair. He is finely formed, handsome, active and sensible. Davis and his wife had no child of their own, and they love this boy with pecu liar tenderness.

He was dressed in the best manner, having a suit of cloth a- dapted to tho season, good snoes, a li with a beautiful white collar part- ing bctore and covering that ot his coat, and a new superfine drab silk hat, which precisely suited his fine complexion. Upon tho whole, I thought I had seldom seenso interesting a boy. I soon learned that there was something peculiar in his history, and upon enquiry I learned the following tacts: About five years ago, a gentleman came to the house of Mr. Raificld near Platts's Ferry on the Chahawba river, in Bibb county, and requested permission to stay all night, which was grant-, cd. He had with him a boy child, a few months old.

In the morning the man was gqne, but the child, its clothes, (a great number, of the very best materials, fashionably made, and of sizes to last him a considerable time.) a horse, bridle and saddle, and fifty dollars in cash, were left, with a note requesting that the "child should be named GorJencc Garris- -ton, that he should be taken care of, and that they wouid see or hear of him a-gain." "It was also requested that they should take the horse, bridle saddle and fifty dollars to defray the expenses of the child. The of Raifield whose wife had a child near the same age, nursed the foundling a few months, and in the mean time the money, horse, Sic. was spent. At this period, Davis and his lady took charge of the child, and have raised it till the present time, Sc I sincerely believe that I have never seen more" mutual affection between children and parents, than exists between Davis his lady and this boy. The little with the confidence of a son, was constantly hanging about his "papa" "and he seemed the very idol of their hearts.

I examined the boy attentively, and he is realy sensible and interesting. There can be no doubt of the cause of throwing this child upon the charities of the world: it was to save the reputation of its mother, who doubtless holds a respectable rank in, society. I have not the most distant idea who the illegitimate parents are, but I have no question that this deed has cast a shade over their happiness, which no distinctions in socielj, no prosperity, no wealth, will ever eradicate. To aid the child, and place in its power those advantages in some degree, enjoyed by its parents; and give them an opportunity to atone, as far as may be possible for the indiscretions of youth, I make the following proposition: that the father or mother, upon seeing this letter in the newspapers, may transmit to me, from time to time under their true, or feigned names-sufficient funds to pay the expenses ot the boy's education and 1 hereby sob lemly promise, that no word or act of mine shall ever lead to a discovery, un- less, hereafter, they should become so proud of an honored son, as to desire to take him to their bosoms, 'and then I should feel willing to aid iu bringing together hearts which circumstances have served. That jtliere may be no uncertainty respecting the faithful application of the money, 1 "will publish all receipts for its disbursment in the principal news papers in the Staiei Before- Mr.

Davis or his lady saw the note left with the boy, they named him John Marshall, after our distinguished American jurist. JESSE BEENE. Chahawba, 1st March 1840. ftt- I hope that the printers in and out of the State, will publish the above for the sake ot the orphan boy, whom it may possibly aid. J.
