As a partial excep- ( 1 tion, we advise peas with corn, and in some cases, the small grains with I cotton, as they make most of their 1 I growth after the original crop has j ceased to require the soil, ami w<> 1 peat here instructions given last year on this point: "Oats may he sown at the last working ot the cotton, no extra labor being Jreqnired except lite broadcasting of I ho seed between the rows, in advance of the ploughs; but oats sown so early in the season 10| quire to be fed* olV before the linal ] picking of the cotton, to prevent them 1 from prematurely throwing up the seed stem. JSheep do this work with great benefit to themselves and with no damage to the cotton, provided, of course, that they are turned out as soon as the oats are well cropped. Wheat sown later requires to be. oov- ; ered with the plough or cultivator. i During the winter the cotton stalks must he broken down, when the era in will have full possession of the field. This plan has been found to work well, when the land has been in good condition and is worthy of a more extensive trial, where labor and mulepower are scarce; but it does not permit that thorough preparation of the land necessary to the best results in small grain culture." 1 nival Oarolhihni for Cabbage and their Ihicmh s. Lice, several species of worms and ! "big-root," or club-foot, are the prim i pal posts with which we have t<? deal in the cabbage patch. The li<*e are killed by soot and ashes, and doubtless, by other applications, but it is! di(lieuIt. to get iul of them, as all t annot easily be reached by our remedies, and the few that, may remain soon again cover the plants with their rapid multiplication. Painstaking an I perseverance, however, will save the plants. Then come the worms. We entrap and kill them by laying a fresh cabbage leal on the lop of the plant at night, to be examined the in >:t morning, when most of the worms will he i found on the underside of it and can be readily killed. A correspondent of the "New Fnglund Fanner" deals with them in another way: lie gets half a pound of saltpetre and onefourth ot a pound ot copperas, and dissolves it in a half hogshead ot writer, and as soon as the hutterlly which lays the egg lor the worm appears, he waters the plants with the solution, repeating the operation alter each raid oi the insects By this means lie saves his cabbages, or at least be thinks so. With club-foot we have 110 experience, whether because we always give our cabbage bed a good ^ dressing of salt and lime, or from some other cause, we do not know. Wetting t ie roots and then dressing I them with bone meal before planting is said to be a preventive; so is a teaspoon fill of caustic lime, applied by 1 removing a little earth from around the plant, putting on the. lime, and then replacing it.

[ \u;,:ust;i Chronicle ami Sentinel] It is a very popular mistake to suppose that all llie cotton in the South is made by negroes. This opinion is not only prevolont universally ul the North, l?ut to a very great extent at the South. Hefore the war nearly all the cotton was made by slave labor, but this is not so now. Thousands of white men, all over the South, have gone into the cotton llehls since the war, and have labored failhtully lor I ho production o! cotton. This opinion is supported by an article bolore us lrom t lie Memphis .1 /'/< <P, in which it is stated that a greater part ot the cotton shipped to Memphis is raised by white labor. The .Mobile /ui/ister asserts that "the great cotton region ol Alabama is cursed with African labor, which has destroyed the production of cotton upon the richest lands of the South. The Appeal states, that "while the production ol cotton has been linromuuerativo in a largo portion ol the negro States, it has been highly profitable and greatly expanded in the while States. The acreage which the negro has paralyzed in Middle Alabama, tieorgia, Louisaina and Mississippi, lias been subsu luted by ,1 greater acreage in Tennessee, Arkansas, North Texas, the Indian Territory, and even Smith Missouri." There is no doubt as to the falling oil'in the production of cotton in certain sections worked exclusively by negro labor. While this is true, it is easy to tind the cause. The negro has been led into idleness by being dragged into polities. In the black belt ol Alabama, as shown by the receipts tit Mobile, Kelma and Montgomery, the tailing off has been overbalanced by increased receipts at other points, showing that white labor lias entered largely into the production of cotton?.Saint Louis has received a juarter ol a million bales front the white counties ot North Arkansas, South Missouri and North Texas. In M issouri, North Arkansas, Tennessee and North Texas white labor works the cotton fields. In our own Slate, in North Georgia, along the line ol the Air Line Koad, cotton production is on the increase. During 1873 the receipts of cotton at. Atlanta were Jh,'.ilO hales. This year the receipts were 5 1,880? nearly an increase of 00 percent-. This cotton was produced hy white labor. In the upper counties of South anil North Carolina white labor is forced by necessity into the production of cotton. Small [ariuers find it remunerative* They raise their own supplies, and in this way make it remunerative. itencllts of I lie Toinaloe. I)r. Dennett, a professor of some I l .

Mr. Ilirsch, the problem rd direct trade was already solved, and our discussion of tho means of securing a perfect water-way from New Orleans to the sea was already needless. This failing we must still resort to dredging. This can he effectively done. The river was kept open without difficulty when Mr. Davis was Secretary ol War, during Tierce's administration. Then dredging was fairly and honestly done. Tenfold j gcater difficulties tire surmounted in j keeping open the mouth of the Clyde, ti shallow stream, dredged thirty miles and dccpcmd till the heaviest and largest ships that hoar the I British flag go in and out at will. Whether steel ships may he built and successful navigate the o(\.an, of light, draught but of irrefr.agible strength, is ;i question not yet solved, lhil we must act in this matter. A steamship line must he established, and the people here must own one-fourth ol the properly. If wo do not demonstrate our earnestness of faith 1 >y risking onefourth as much as our Knglish friends, t he line will ncrhans never be est al? I lished.

[From the New York Journal of Commerce.] Since the failure of Congress to do anything to relievo the oppressed {South, the carpet-baggers and negroes down there have been more thievish and impudent than ever.

When the South Carolina taxpayers asked for an investigation, they did not put much faith in the result of such a work, but they did think, correctly that it might frighten a little the hand of robbers C1 who govern them, and somewhat mitigate their miseries. This least of all favors being denied, the political ty4 ^ Ui-i - tiliui uiai mate aro now carrying things with a higher hand. The shameless Governor Moses has actually pardoned out the three Barnwell Commissioners, convicted of corruption and theft a lew weeks ago.

Men of all the old J parties and factions, counting in the two Itepublican varieties, are joinii.; this corp.51, and they mean business. The (iovernnient of the State is rotten and infamous from end to end. The Lesisla'lire is a gang of black and white thieves, with a small sprinkling of honest men, powerless to stay the corruption, and only showing it up in ' a bolder relief, .fudges can be bought ' for a peck of potatoes. Juries are till packed. Ln all the branches of government there is ti de-perate contest to see who cah control (which iscguivalent to stealing) the largest share ol the public funds. *1 hese eieatures are | perfectly willing to turn Louisiana into a swamp or a. wilderness, so long as they can fill their pouches and get away in safety from the scene <>f devastation.

At this distance it is very hard to make our advice lit the case, but it does seem to us that the new organization ol whites should be made as little t!ireat< ning as possible. While fully prepared to defend themselves in their rights?and maintaining a firm and bold altitude?tbey should use their money and influence, diplomatically, to split the black party in twain. They should divide and eonijucr. Cash and tact ought to do this, .vithout using t y ? I ciiii'T lor illegitimate purposes. line and there, I here must be an olliehil not wdiol'y corrupted who could be brought over to the reform side; and the moment the movement looks strong, many of llio.se now barbing the thieves may be expected to join it. This plan OUlllanhs the'enemy, and forces him to ret reat without a collision. In I his work of reform no tools should be despised, but all accepted who can in I any way advance it; and above all things, we repeat, the negroes should be taken as allies and fairly treated. Unless the taxpayers of Louisiana aie ready to attach t he better class of negroes to their side, we fear that little good will come of all their concerted dibits. A work .similar in some respects is developing itself in South Carolina. Them it lakes the name of " Tax Unions." Ill odject is declared j to he the. reduction of taxation, and | the honest appropriation and expenditure of t he public funds. The consti- ( tuiion of the order has not a word i about white or black; and a black taxpayer could join it il he pleased; i though such a phenomenon would be j , difficult to find because there are no i negroes who own land (for some of I them have large, fine farms, bought at 1 forced sales.) but because blacks rule and whites only arc desnoiled.
