We hear of many Farmers in this County illiog from two to eight heavy hoiiie-rai-cl ogs this year, who three years ago thought L was money wasted and time lost to line ogs arid reduce the cotton crop. Hut those iien Ih's year havo learnc 1 a different hsoa frjoi pleas nit experience. 1 lie great trouble with the a'l-cotton ?yseui of farming is, it makes a few, who do jot | roduce the cotton, rich, and everybody Pnri.Vcr7.ir >?V?

After all, die soluti in of tlie whole uiii'lcr lies altogether with ih>> individual farmer. No convention of farmers to propose or adopt any plan of ac ion f>r the fanners to unite upon, to reduce the cotton aroi. will, in our opinion, ho worth a pinch of snutV. so far as any general re ief can be produced. Kacli Farmer must "workout iiis own salvation" upon his own farm, with industry, economy and intelligence, ami not look over his neighbor's fence to sec and bo governed by what he is doing. Kvery farmer in the South may reduce his cotton crop one half, and thereby increase the price AO per cent, still the individual farmer who has a full supply of home raised bacon, c>rn, cats, wheat, forage, and a yard full of poultry, will secure the greatest profit front bis cotton crop, be lesi in debt, have most mciiey. and have more comforts around him. Instead of studying how and where to buy ill cap, and looking to government or conveniens for relief, if each Fanner wi 1 first stu 'v low to make his farm produce the most sup dies for home consumption, and bend his mcrgics, if it takes all the year, to accomplish hat, and then plant what cotton he can for a ash crop, to in vest in educating his children, inproving his h-un*. or, it m >y he, in a 'otton Factory ; then, if the sub-treasury, r any other scheme of relief is adopted by ic government, he will be in better comli on than his aU-C'?ltnn neighhu1 to it.-proritiio Si 4 luiimiiio t t ? n" I'nnn n?:y. ovombcr Honor Roll, Union Graded School.
