(01TON NO LONGER KING.. ' t AN INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IN THE 8 STATE OF MIS$ISSIPpI. 1 Au Interesting Review by Gon. Stephen I). Leo of ?he Progress Mado in lreaking Up the All-Cotton Idea--.Promiso for the Near Future. (Washington Letter to the ,e York Star.) I Gen. Stephen D. Lee, president of the Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege of Mississippi, has been in the city a few days. Your corres pondent, knowing that Mississippi has taken the lead among the Southern States in an organized movement of redenption from the cotton s)eciatly the fetich of the one crop idea-and that Gen. Lee, as the head ot the machinery of that noveluent, would be eminently quali fled to speak of its achievements n(1 its prospects, called on him at the Ebbitt house. Gen. Lee Was. enthusiastic over the outlook for his adopted State, and readily respond ed to all interrogatories. The follow ing is averbal im rel,ort of his rcmuarks: "A revolution is goiig on in Mi.s is4i))i inl diver&ifvin g her industties, especially in the Ii lie of agricultire. heretofore, and even now, the farmiing interests are mainly in the raising o1 cotton (11(1 crn, which have restricted her people to the incubus of the one crop--leading to soil exhaustion. and 1e1y 'cecipts n111illly at (le 5it50l 01 the year.

Is it. strange, then, that Mississippi is a stock State, when at the Norti leeding is necessart for four or six mlonths? Eusilage also is easily prelpared anld sucessfully led to atock in Mississippi. Amholig the gentlemen wIto have led off iti this im portanit in(dustr"y mllay be 1uentlionied Col. W. II.
