Excess of expenses over income, 6432 00
From tlie above it will ho .seen, that it cost
the producer 81.00 por bushel for wheat,
86 cants for corn, and 80 cents for oats
As an equivalent for excess of work done
by the hands, other than plauting, cultivating
and gathering, for the balance of the
year, their brcudstufts, meat, pyrup, clothing,
taxes and doctor bills must be taken
into account.
The above calculation is based upon the
supposition, that for a series of five or ten
years, the average yield per acre is not more
than 7 bushels of wheat, 20 of corn aud 20
of oatR.

From the nb?vo estimate, it appears that
the largest amount of labor applied, yields
the largest profit, and in proportion to deep
ploughing, and the quantity of manure ap.
plied, tho crop will increase from 2U to 4U?
l50-?80? lOO bushels per acre. Abundaneo
of ientkuiui?y c.i.; be ..Jduccd that a03? Ashvillo,
N. 0., over 1.J0 bushels of corn have
b^cn made on one acre. Also, near Charleston,
between the Mooting and King street
roads over 100 bushels of sea island flint
corn have been grown on one aero properly
manuied.
It is to bo regretted that the cheapness
and quantity of land have caused planters
and farmers to take in and so cut down too
much territory. Your committee would
recommend licit our farmors should plant
less, manure more, cultivnte better, and at
'the proper tiiue, divide the land iuto three
pin ts, and alternately by sowing small grain
and resting, aid the soil in its production,
for a good corn crop will grow on the sumo
land only onco in three years.
By tills mode, tho lands, instead of being
worn out, will become richer tho longer

1 The conduct of Jiieutonntit Mnffit, eoinI
mn tutor of the Dolphin, Jurying hcen called
j in (juration by tho extreme men both North

not with propriety havo acted differently,
under the peculiar circumstances of tlio
case and liis instructions. Ho hud but u
very short time tu decide in this norol ease,
mid no precedent to guide him. The Department
approves of his conduct.
Lieutenant M;i Hit's first iimudne mu to
hind them ?t Key West; but, considering
the improbability of being able to land tho
captured negroes there, and the length of
time it would require to communicate with
Washington, he prudently determined to
send them to Charleston, where the Department
would bo telegraphed immediate
Iv, nuil especially us there wiih u fair wind
for the latter port. He afterward* diaeviv-/
cred he could not land them at Key Wert.
Licuteua.it Maffit would have taken them
to J'oston ; but, front tho long panaago, he
feared srrcat loss of life. Tho custom in
similar eases in to tnkc the ofliccrsand ercw
of the captured vctMcl on board the mnh-of rooils,
