Editors Keotocc Courier: "Too oirous is corniog" is aa expression that may now bo frequently heard repeated ou tho streets of Walhalla, sod I suppose the expression earlies with it pomo truth, judging from what may now be seen in passing ulong Main street. You have but to turo your hoad to Bee a mammoth board ing extending for near 200 yards right along io the middlo of the street, and it covered (exocpt the middle section, which was put up for another oirous, which I learn has "busted," and it Would bo a blessing to tho country if tho other one should go tho same way,) with pictures of animals representing scenes that will never appear iuside the canvass or anywhere else; also by pictures of that animal culling himself mon, male and female, lu attitudes und dross highly ridiculous if not absolutely indecent; on tho whole, milking a nuisunuo which tho good peoplo of Walhalla ought, not to tolerate, uud I um surprised ot tho towu authorities forai lowing such a nuisance to bo put up in tho middlo of tho street io tho most business part of the towu? Now having said this muoh aa to their advertising bills, let US look at tho moral (or rather tho immoral) effects of tho circus But first) a word us to publio gather* inga und publio amusements. Mun is by nature so eminently oocial iu feelings, wants and habits, that frequent publio meetings arc essential to his Happiness, to his se curity-nay, to his very existence. There ore many causes that contribute to tuuko publio gatherings a necessity. Our political affairs oitcn demand them und cull together large collections of thc people Nothing so much cooduocs to bogot kind, benevo lent and philanthropic feelings and con duct, nothing so much advances moral and intellectual improvement, as these gather ings und sociul meetings when brought to gether for good objects and purposes uud su'j coted to proper rcgulutions and re straints. Mcu collected together iu lurgo numbers not utifrcqucntly, under drouin-1 stances of excitement, loso their reason uud self-control, and often aid it*, perpetrating deeds of violence and crime, which ns indi* victuals, they would shudder at the mere mention of. Thousands of persons collected together ut villages and county court houses, to at tend circuses, without n?y adequate police to preservo order und provent crime, and with all tho means, appliances und seduc tions to immorality sud dissipation of every kind, must tend to prostitute and deprave tho publie taste. Some ono has said "tho circus performances are fit amusements for only children und negroes," but I could not assent to that proposition, for if tho per formuuecs uro not (it to ho witnessed by grown up people, they uro certainly less tit for tho amusement, of children and the ignor ant class whoso minds would more likely become irrevocably debauched by thc scenes they would hear, and that, too, by thc sanction of parents and ut hors who ought to know better. Tho indecent dress und course actions and attitudes of thc per formers, male and female, thc obscene jests of thc clown and the vulgar pongs always heard io circuses, tend to anything but thc inculcation of good morals. No plea or puliution can bo put in ta exeuso or justify tho circus. lt has no hidden typical or mythical meaning. Its grossness and vulgarity aro intended to gratify tho vu'gar appetite for what is g'-oss und vulgar, and to whet and strengthen that appetite by thc food it administers und sowing tho seeds of ruin in many young hearts. How parents eau tako their children to circuses and subject them to tho scenes und language thcro witnessed and heard is moro than I can conceive of, and iu many instances by those calling themselves followers of the meek und lowly Jesus, and suv that they have re nounced tho world, tho flesh und tho devil. VINDEX NEW ORLEANS September 14.-Tho yearly statement of the Notional Cotton Exohongo of tho United Stales for tho sen* ron ending August 31, 1882, shows that tho cotton crop of tho United States was 5,450,048 bales, a failing off from tho previous season of 1,149,702 bales. The receipts at outports were 4,688,187 bulos, against 5,878,106 bales last your. The ex ports were 8,551,075 bales against 4,565, Kl6 bales. The total quantity shipped over land by rail direct to Northern mills amounted to 1,087,217 bales. Ot this 51, 002 bules wont direot to Eastern delivery ports, 480,170 to mills, and 86,145 from Southern outports to Eastern mills. Cunada took overland 31,547 bales, or 81 per cont, more than last yoar. Exports to foreign ports aggregated 8,551,075, showing a fall-, lng off of 1,014,241 bales. Northern spin" ners havo taken of this orop 1,677,581 bales, against 1,713,626 last your. The remarkable fea turo of the statement is tho large inoreaso in Southern consumption.

AN IMMENSE FARM IN DAKOTA WHICH COMPRISES 75,000 A0RE8-FARMING ON A UIQ SOALB-HOW THE OOO EMPLOYEES ARE LODOED AND FED. FAROO, August 10.-"tho land of tho Dakotas" Ima nothing moro marvellous to show the stranger than Hie great wheat forms which thickly stud tho lied Uiver Valley. The system upon which all theso farms arc conducted is muoh the some, Varying only in minor details, so that, an account of ono will give n general iden of them all. Tho moBt famous of them all is thc Dalrymplo fut m. It ls perhaps the most perfect cxumplo in tho Northwest ot farming reduced toan exaot science. This farm is situated Wost of Fargo, in tho heart of What was formerly called 4 Tito Great Amcricau Desert," since moro favor ably known as tho great Dakota wheat belt. It ex tends along tho Northern Pacific Rail road for many miles. Tho lauds at first comprised iu it wore purohuscd from tho railroad company at about 40 cents an aero and thc Grst purchases have been gradually added to, ot prices ranging from that Gguro up to Gvo dollars per aero, until now there aro more than 75,000 acres, or nearly 120 square miles, all uudcr ono maoagomcut. Mr. Dalrymplo, after whom tho farm was named, wus a resident of Pennsylvania and was supposed to bc "deep in wheat" there and iu Miunessota before coining here. Ho was selected ou account of suoh experience by thc then owners of thc farm to como out aud make thc experiment in Dakota of raising wheat ou u largo scale, under an arrangement with them that when tho net profits of tho enterprise hud reimbursed the cost of tho land and all monoys paid out in its development ho should become half owner of this und their other large farms, n result long since attained. Ground wus broken in 1874 and, against many predictions of failure, tho furm was an as sured success from tho first and is growing more profitable each year. FARMING ON A DIG S CA T.K. The reader, if he would understand thc wheat question herc, must discard al! pre vious notions of farming in tbo Eist, foi not only natural conditions, such as soil climate und tho seasons, but all thc mcthodi of cultivation pursued, aro radically differ ent. Tho area of cultivation, tho imple monts used and tho results obtained everything willoh enters into tho problem -aro on a soalo so vast that no previous ex per i en ce will aid them in tho least. Tin solo result sought for is to produce a busbo of wheat ut tho lowest possiblo cost, ant in doing this experience bas shown that th? amount of manual labor must bo rcducct to the minimum, und, therefore, all tho oh timo methods of plowing, sowing, reaping and threshing have been superseded b; tho introduction iu ull ihoso departments o tho latest improvements in labor savin) machinery. Heining these things in mind wheat growing in Dakota is of tho simples possible description. The soil on this farm is a rioh blaol i muck, or loam, from three to six feet deep with a clay subsoil, containing inexhausti ble nutritives of limo and other wheo i nutritives, Tho surface of tho groum > is broad prairie, devoid of stone and timber and presenting no obstacles to tho free us of machinery. Tho first ploughing of th raw prairie, called "breaking," ls done will sulky plows during May and June. Tbi plow bas a share about fourteen inches wid and the depth of thc furrow usually thrc to four inches, is regulated from bis sent b tho driver by means of a lever. An aver ngo day's ''breaking" is about eightee miles. Mr. Dalrymple bas his workin force so arranged that he breaks up Uv oorcB a year. By the first of July tho fm "breaking" has become rotten and th workmen go back to it and go ovor th whole fivo thousand uores ngain in rotntio with n second ploughing called ''backset ting." This ground then lies fallow unt the succeeding Muy, when tho baoksc furrows uro harrowed down and the scede put to work. This is simply an ingeniou mncbiuo for broadcast sowing, which dis tributes a bushel and twenty quarts of sec per nero over ten aores a day. A sccoti burrowing completes thc labor of putting i tho orop. BOWING THE WHEAT. Tho wheat sown is of tho variety calle Scotoh fife, which comes to perfection i this Inttitudo, making a hard, round bcrrj which grades in tho market us "No. 1 bard and always commands a higher price tba other Western wheat. For many roHSOti tho orop matures rapidly; one of thc prin ci plo ones is, doubtless, that from th looseness of tho soil tho winter frosts g very deep. Tito spring sowing ia don" v soon os the surface is sufficiently thawec so that for so many weeks afterward tb moisture lower down is coming to tho sur face, luden with limo and other whet nourishment, and keeps thc roots of th young und tender wheat damp and ooo and it shoots up with surprising rapidity Tho climate also has muoh to do with i Tho days aro long and exempt from tho? debilitating heats BO depressing to ali form of animal and vcgotoblo lifo, whilo th nights are cool. Whilo tho inhabitants < loss favored sections aro sweltering io bent that murders sleep, tho "bonana former1' complaoontly piles on moro woolo . blankots and sleeps tho sleep of tbo jus Mr. Dalrymplo bas out this tear 85,00 uores of wheat and as ho ados 5,000 sort a year, tho whole 75,000 aores will soon t under cultivation. Of oourso such on noterpriso requires multitude of wen, horses, mule? mid ma j tic:*..-. chioery. Something over 700 horses and mules aro kept on tho farm, nod during harvest ?nd threshing as many as 900 men fiad employment thora. Without the most complete system and order all would be "confusion worse confounded." The 'and is cut Up into divisions of 0,000 acres, with a gcheral superintendent over each, who has under him a division foreman tnd a ging foreman. The divisions are also further subdivided as ooovonienoe requires, Eaoh division has its boarding houses, barns, tool rooms, <fco., but tho supplies are all kept in one storo, from which they aro drawn upon by requisition, as in tho army. The flounces aro conducted upon a system of vo?ohor?, And the men aro paid whenever they demand it. In every department tho most oomptete system prevails-. Theft cnn bo no shirking or orookednesB without in stant detection. Evory roan in the estab lishment has his plaeo sud must fill it faithfully or Icavo. MILES OF YELLOW WHEAT. Tho harvest begins this year about August 10, aud just now thc wheat is tak ing on that yellow golden tint so pleasing to thc husbandman, I wish tho surpaBsiug beauty of the scene at Dalrymple farm now could be adequately described. Overhead a bright sun, your fuco funned by a cool breeze, while in every direction as far OB tho eye eon travel you seo nothing but miles and miles of ycllovV whoat, gently swoyed by the light winds and giving forth their peculiar soothing sounds, which I am in clined to uaino Dakota's nativo poetry. The harvest season is always the period of greatest activity on Dalrymple farm, and it usually lusts some fifteen days. Near two hundred automatic ?elf-biodors aro used, and every two machines aro followed by an expert ou horseback, who repairs broakH and kcops thom in running order. Tho bundles of grain aro collected in piles of about ono hundred bushels each, but are neither stacked or shooked, as threshing immediately follows tho harvest. Over thirty straw buruiog steam threshers are put at work as uoon BB the outting is completed. They each have a aapaoity of 1,000 bushels per day, and the grain is taken direct from them to the railroad and loaded in oars for the Eastern market. Everywhere steam and horso power aro utilized to tho utmost, and every part of this vast enterprise is BO nicely adjusted that tho whole system goes on like clock work. Tho estimated crop this year ex ceeds 750,000 bushels. A bushel of wheal eau bo produced on this farm for 85 cents, including in that estimate taxes, labor, seed and interest on investment, and thal bushels of Wheat cnn be laid down in Philadelphia ata slight profit, for 67 couts. Comparing those figures with the eurrenl market prices will at once demonstrate thal Mr. Dalrymple is not losing any money ot his annual orop of 750,000 bushels. Oe thia farm tho average- annual yield hal been twenty-two bushels per aore, withou fertilizers or other artificial sids, and it hat been demonstrated that tho wheat produc ing qualities of tho soil aro practically inexhaustible. Tho net profits of this faro lust year were GO per cent, on the whol investment. ?he Price of Meat. A dealer in drove hogs informed us ? fev days Ogo that tho price of pork will not fal for a long timo to come. Tho oomio| season it will not bo lesB than 8} or 9 cent gross. By the first of November it is sail that thc stock of hogs will bo moro near!; exhausted than over before throughout th West. So tho meat question ia becoming : serious ono. Our farmers hovo allowed th> stock of hogs to run down in this section Of our own raising wo oro satisfied there ii soaroely meat enough in the oounty to foot our people cse day. Thi? is tho fa to of i people who havo no forethought and bavin) such advantages of olimato and noil allott themselves to bo o ii t i rely dependont upoi foreigners. Having tho ability to he)] themselves they neglect opportunities ao< risk the acoident of changeable markets fo high or low ticing. It is shameful, Our farmers haVo shown nomo progres in tho matter of raising provisions. The; should not stop where thoy aro. Bread i tho stuff of lifo, but meat is also neoessary Every farmer in tho oouutry could raia pork enough to do himself and hands They could do more than this with all eas aud supply tho homo market. Thora wuult not only bo comfort but profit in cooli course Tho chango should bo mado a once and persevered in. Wo cnn romombc when droves of hogs were brought her from Diekens aud the upper counties There was ti living in hog raising then am there will bo moro money in it now.

They then released the prisoner and took ohargo of the train, running it through Loudon. At Lenoir's ritation John Taylor rtud his brothers Bob nod Andy got off, and forcibly taking some horses, left for tho mountains. John Taylor was wounded in tho arin.

A pnsso has already left Kingston and another from Louden. Cato was sheriff only two weeks. Ho was one of the most popular men in tho city, was about fifty years old and leaves a large family. Conway was about thirty, and was prominent in local polities. Suoh excitement has not been seen in Chatta nooga since the war. A special train will bring the bodies of the victims boro to night. The shooting took place about 4 o'clock. WASHINGTON, September 14.-A dis patch from Knoxville, Tenn., gives tho following account of the murder of sheriff Cate and bis deputy. Tho officers had in custody three prisoners. Two of che pris oners, Jo h u Taylor and 8am Cartor, were under sentence for murder and were ohainod together. The other prisoner, Nell, a negro, WSB chained to the seat. When tho train stopped at Sweetwater, threo men ontered the oar. One was a brother of Taylor and entered the ear from the rear, while the other two ontered from the front. Taylor's brother approached Deputy Con way Irom behind, placed a pistol to tho back of his head and blew his brains out. He then took tho keys from Conway's pookot and unlooked the prisoner, Taylor, and the latter seoured the deputy's pistol. At this ItiBtatit Sheriff Cate rushed st tho men, firing at them and the prisoners. As he fired the prisoner, Taylor, shot him through the bowels and the other two men shot him through the breast. The sheriff fell dead. The prisoner, Taylor, was slightly wounded in tho arm and Carter was slightly wounded in the leg. The threo ieseuers wore uot hurt, and with Taylor they jumped on the engine, and, with pistols at tho engineer's head, compelled him to pull out immediately and to put on more steam, and thoy ran twenty miles up to Lenoir's) running through threo towns without stopping. At Lenoir's the four men. jumped off and seoured horses which were waiting for them, and all escaped Tho prisoner Carter and tho negro came to Knoxville without a guard and surrendered to the sheriff of Knox County. Conway's dead bjdy wo? brought to Knoxville and Cato's body was thrown from the oar plat form at Sweetwoter by tho rescuers.

Seed Cotton Traffic* The ladt Legislature passed an Act to regulate the trade in seed cotton or un packed lint ootton. It is well that the law should be understood.

A Surprised Englishman; A good ninny centuries ago AO English clergyman, traveling through lilli country? was etruok by the beauty of a church which was nearly completed in one of our larger cities. Entering uu open door be observod a group of workmen in tho chance!, and addressed ouo who seemed to bo directing the others: "Bishop Blank resides koro, I believer1" "Yes." Toe stranger knew tho dignitary t>y reputation as ouo of the most eloquent and godly in tho church and asked cu riously: "Where is bis palace?" "There," pointing to a plain brick dwell ing across tho street. Tho Englishman was perplexed, being used to the pomp of tho lord Bishops at home, who, ia their aprons and lawn sleovcs, held an imposing placo in tho House of Poors. "Ali-h. Now this church? Very good indeed. Puro Mylo. Better than E hoped to eeo in America; Who designed the stone work?" "I did," modestly replied the mon. "The master masou, ch?. Who was your arohiteot?" "1 was the architect, too," smiling. "Indecdl Why yob uro n jnck of oil trades. You will toll mo who designed tho windows next." "I did." Tbo Englishman was amused Ile chatted with tho workman awhile, Gading him to bo singularly modest and quiet ia manner^ but tit lust Said: "I om going to pay my respects to tho Bishop. At what hour will I probably bo admitted?" "You will not lind him at home now; I am tho Bishop." Afterward, the Englishman in telling the story, saide "I leurned to know and reverence bim well after that; and 1 never knew a man so lacking of self esteem: Whenever io the canticle I thank Qod for tho holy end humble men of heart, I think Df tile American Bishop." Charles Biokens, when ia this country? was called on to moko an address before a targe school. Ho simply said: "Do all tho good you can, boys, and make DO fuss aboub it," which is tho sum of it all. Suggestions* Why somo farmers do not succeed: They are not active and industrious. They ate slothful la everything. They do not keep up with improvements'; They give no attention to detallo. They aro wedded to old methods. They think small things not importants They take no pleasure iu their work. They regard labor as a misfortune-. They weigh and measure stiog?y. They are wasteful and improvident. They let their gates sag and fall down. They will not make compost. They let their fowls roost in tho trees. Tlioy have no shelter for stock. They do not ourry their horses. They leave their plows in tho Gold. They hang tho harness in tho dust? They put of greasing tho wagon. They starve tho oalf aod milk tho cow. They don't know the best is tho cheap-? est i They have no method or system. They havo no oars for homo enterprise. They soe DO good in a DOW thing. They never use paint on tho farm. They prop thc born dour with a rail. They milk tho cows late in tho day. They have no time to do things well. They don't believe iu rotation of crops'/ They do not read tho best books and newspapers.
