About Corn and Cotton. correspondent of the Atlanta (Geo.) InttUigencerx e ver the. signature of "Gray Jacket," writes as follows: The offspring of Saturn and of Ops, the goddess of the production of the earth, called Cores, was the deity that with more practical sagacity than was wont amongst their godshlps ot mythology, patronized the growth of grain. But St. Augustine tells us that this same Ceres was no oth? er than a certain Qncon of Greece, who induced her subjects to cultivate the soil, and to grow in their own dominion and nourish themselves in abundance with grain, which, previous to her reign, they bought from other countries, and lived in poverty. We might learn this lesson, which is plain enough, if we will not learn from our own sad experience; but the illuaive te?r.ptation to acquire rapid wealth by cotton crops is irresistible; the allure? ments are too great for a weak people, and notwithstanding disappointments havo been experienced time and agc.in, disappointments surely will come again, with its fellow-traveler, distress. The people of the "West give us practi? cal examples which, were we not so biased in our opinions, we could follow to ad? vantage. It is vain to say that their lands are better adapted to produce pro? visions, and ours to the growth of cotton. That may be so; but because my house is better suited to bo turned into a work? shop, shall I 60 turn it, to the discomfort of my family, perhaps for a little more gain ? But it is not so ; for it is folly to say that tho lands of the."West could not be adapted to some produce that might hold out speculative value greater than beans... ':Meth;*us her patient sons before n:o stand, scooping out an empire" from the coming tide to grow their tulips, from which speculation thrived. The Western people spring from poor tillers ot the soil; they obtained from the soil first comforts, then comparative wealth, with their little farms that produce butter and cheese, corn, barley, wheat, and rye, mutton, beef, and pork. They send us the corn and pork, the two commonest productions, of the eart h; the corn which sometimes they do burn as fuel, and the pork, which is often diseased, and not used by them? selves. 'They live on the luxuries; they have no cotton, and thoy only raise wool enough to make their carpets and blank eta; Their purchases from manufacturers are small; and, though their income is not large, still it is a surplus over their expenditures, and is the foundation of their Saving banks and a healthy circula? tion of currency. If you see their coun? try population bringing produce to mar? ket,'you sre a robust, sleak, though grca ?y people, possessing that appearance which we conceive of well-to-do farmers living on the milk and honey ef the land. The modern Southern planter can hard? ly be called a husbandman. To view him in' that section of country in which I have been a denizen since the truce? Southwestern Georgia?you see him com? ing in town in the summer months, lean and haggard, after a journey from his plantation, covered with dust or mud as th'e case may be, mounted on a pony or a blind mule, only half better fed than himself; 'there he goes jogging the poor beast with hi* heels, one of which is arraed with u monstrous spur to induce no livelier gait than will keep up with a wagon and a two mule team driven by a freedman. Well he is on a vo}-agc of dis? covery to discover who will furnish him with corn and bacon, hui resources hav? ing been exhausted in providing the same bacon and corn*, the- mules, the manure, tc, to make a crop; but he has a good stand of cotton and finds the place to get his present supply by submitting to the commission merchant's terms. See him again, coming into town in. October or November, new as then, en the same jade, but this time at the head of a column of two wagons, one borrowed and both load? ed bringing his crop of cotton ; there are ten bales, his all, dependent on the stato of the market ; high or low is the ques? tion to decide whether ho will rcalizo a remuneration for his toil or a disappoint? ment. Can we learn the lesson, which is plain enough, from the legend of the fabulous past, or copy the example of tho presont by emulating tho people of the west ? Grow our own food and till our own land in such a way that our labor will be light, our provisions will bo heiivy; and don't depend on people abroad for the staff of lifo. Cbeerino Signs.?Peihaps the best evidence of the sure and rapid matorial progress of tho South (saya the New York Herald) may be found in the fact that the price of tho bonds of the different South? * ern States is steadily rising in Wall-street. The directors of our New York savings sanks, who are proverbially conservative, camions and sagacious, have lately bought largely these Stato bonds. Tho Southern people themselves are also adding consid erably to their investments in these bonds. Other cheering signs of the energy with which tho recuperative powers of the Soatb are awakening may be found in tho great cotton crop, estimated' at two hun? dred million dollars; in tho plentiful rice and sugar crops; in tho abundant pro? duction of everything consumed by the Southern people at home ; in the report that in many parts of tho South labor has become even cheaper than it used to be in the days of shivery; and, lastly, in many indications that the political pacifi? cation which mnst infallibly follow the inauguration ofPresident Grant will open at the South an era of good feeling and of unprecedented prosperity. ? A lazy boy makes a lazy mau, just as snre as a crooked sapling makes a crook? ed tree. Who ever saw a boy grow up in idleness that did not make a shiftless vagabond when he became a man, unless be had a fortune left him to keep up ap? pearances? The great mass of thieves, criminals and paupers, have come to what they are by being brought up in idleness. Those who constitute the business part of community?those who make our great and useful men, were taught in their boy? hood to be industrious. A Chapter in Grant's Life?A long statement appeared in the New York Times on the 20th about the oarly cam? paign of Grant, which, it has been stated, gave dissatisfaction at headquarters at ?Washington, and in cpnsequence of which he was several times to be superseded, but was not by the occurrence of circum? stances. When he began the investment of Vicksburg, tho movement was con? demned at headquarters, and finally, after the unsuccessful assanlt on Vicksburg in May, an order was sent Banks, then in? vesting Port Hudson directing him to go and take command of tho army from Grant, and assume it himself. The order was an imperative one; nevertheless Gen. Banks did notobe}' the order, but replied, expostulating. The considerations on which that officer based his expostulation will appear when this remarkable correspondense sees the light. This much, howover, may be said: He pointed out that for him to abandon his position at Port Hudson would be to give up the key of the Mississippi, imperil? ing not only the tenure of New Orleans, but jeopardizing our possession of any point of advantage on that vital water line. To this a rejoinder came from Washing? ton, a second command 10 supersede Grant, and when the impropriety of the step was again pointed by Banks he was severely censured for disobedience of or? ders. Tho correspondence between Gen. Banks and the authorities at Washington continued till the fall of Vicksburg, when every scrap of paper bearing on the sub? ject was spirited away from the archives in the departments. Banks putting the writing safely by, kept his own counsel. The secret of the critical passages in his life was until a month ago unknown to General Grant himself. -9 A New Anti-Masonic War.?The Washington correspondent of tho Balti? more American says: "Mr. Wilson has presented to the Senate a petition ofcer tain citizens of Ohio, praying a repeal of the Act granting a charter to the Masonic Hall Association of the District of Colum? bia. The petition sets forth that such se? cret organizations arc dangerous to a re? publican form of Government; that Ma? sonic societies have directed their efforts to the support of slavery and the incep? tion of rebellion; that they teach the youth of the country the pernieious.practices of conspiracy; that they are bound together by barbarous oaths; tbat their power is used against good administration and for a corrupt one, as is shown by a recent ap? peal of the Executive to the Knights Templar of the Northwest and of Boston, and to the Baltimore Odd-Fellows; that no trnst can be reposed in any depart? ment of the.Government administered on Masonic principles, and a good deal more similar nonsense. The petition was con? signed to the Committee on the District." -o Circumstances Alter Cases.?Mr. John W. Forney is travelling in the South and is writing letters over his own initials to bis paper. In a late letter from Lenoir, North Carolina, he is "delighted to find the people of the State so temperate and orderly ;" he "has met a great number of the Confederate officers, and in every in? stance found them courteous, intelligent and full ol inquiries;" the election of Grant "is regarded by this whole population as tho best thing that could have happened to them," and on every rfide when he is not surprised ho is ovcrjov-od at tho good? ness, loyalty and prosperity of the people. Whether this apparent change of view has anything to do with land agency spec? ulations in which Mr. Forney is said to be concerned, or results from an honest con? viction on a closer inspection of the South? ern people, wc do not undertake to say. We have no doubt ourselves, however, that the virtues of the North Carolinians are all that he represents them to be. Compromise.?Several of our exchanges have forcibl}' advanced the idea of n gen cral compromising of ante-war and war debts. The principle is a sound one, and the display of a spirit of liberality and forbearance toward " brothers, neighbors and friends," would speedily pave the way to prosperity. We aro told that the spirit is encouraged by the bar. This i? a noble example, and from a source which renders it right worthy of emulation. All honor to the gentlemen of the legal profession. Let the work go on, and receive fresh momentum daily, and until the incubus that weighs so heavily upon thoso who suffer in " mind and estate" is fully removed.?Newberry Herald. -o The Blue Ridge Rail Road.?Th*> Knoxvillc correspondent of the Now York Times writes as follows: Shipments to tho South aro now very heavy, owing to the rise in the rivers and mountain streams, which brings hay, corn and oats from the moro inaccessible points, and from the buoyancy of money in the cotton regions. Parties now hero from Georgia and Alabama report money more abundant than it ever has been. East Tennessee ships almost all her sur? plus produce South, where sho finds a bet? ter market than eslewhere. Our farmers, merchants and mechanics all work for the agricultural regions of the South, and pros? per as they prosper. The towns of South Carolina and tho city of Charlston seem to share in the new prospect, as we find the promises for the complotion of their part of our Cincinnati and Charleston Rail Road more definite. The Presidents of our roads composing that line are now in Nashvillo. working with the Legisla? ture for further appropriations, and ad? vices received here to-day indicate that they will succeed. - ? A clerk in a dry goods store retired one night, having for his bed-fellow an ac? quaintance dating back to school days. Oar informant slept in the next room ad? joining, the door of w hich was partly open, fn the middle of the night he was awaken? ed Irom his sleep by hearing the clerk, in a loud voice, exclaim, "How many yards did you say you wanted, inarm? Three yards enough f and the next thing lie heard a tearing noise, and the bed-fellow of the cierk shouted out?"What are yon doing??you have torn my shirt from top to bottom.'' The poor dreamer imagined himself in his store waiting on a lady cus? tomer, who wanted three yards of calico, ? "John, did you ever bet on a horse race?" "No: but I have seen my sister Bet on an old mare !'' ? A new utyle of hat is called the "Grant hat." We have not seen it, but presume it has a "brick" in it. ? A boarding-house keeper in Spring? field, is in the habit, when her boarders fail to pay up promptly, of placing an ex? tra fork at their plate, as a silent intima tien to "fork over. ? An editor says women live longer than men. Married ones do who sit up nights waiting the return of a dr?nken husband. ? One of the most curious things is, that a watch should keep perfectly dry when it has a running spring inside. ? A nan being asked as he lay sunning himself in the grass, what was the height of his ambition: "To marry a rich, wid? ow with a bad cough." ? An uncle, by his will, left his nephew eleven 6iiver spoons, adding, "It I have not left him the dozen, he knows the rea? son." The fact was, the nephew had some time before stolen a spoon from the uncle. ? A Western editor, whose subscribers complained of his not giving them news ?nough for their money, lold thern that if they could not find news enough in the pa? per, they had better read the Bible, which he had no doubt would be news to them. ? Brownlow says that, like Paul, he has "fought with wild beasts at Ephesus." If iic has, he has fought with his betters. ?Louisville Journal. ? A singular freak of nature was seen in an Arkansas town recently, in the shape of a man with three ears; one on each side I of his head, and a third?which belonged to another fellow, between his teeth. ? An Irishman and a Frenchman wero to be hung together. The latter was strongly affected by his situation, while Paddy took it very easy, and told his com? panion to keep up his spirits, for it was nothing to be hanged. "Ah, by gad," says the Frenchman, 1 "There be von grand difference between you and me; you Irishmen are used to it." ? "My son," said the veteran at the foot of the stairs, "arise and see the newly risen luminary of the day, and hear the sweet birds singing their matin song of praise to their great Creator; come while the dew is on the grass and tender lambs are bleating on the hill-side?come, I say, or I'll be up there with a switch and give you the cussedest licking that you ever had!" ? A gentleman connected with one of tho largest business firms in St. Louis, re? cently called at a newspaper office and left a $600 advertisement. He said that he had dreamed the night before that he had done so, and he felt that he ought to follow out the suggestion of his dream. ? An absent-minded gentleman inten? ding to scratch his head in church, reached over and performed tho operation for an old maid who was in the next pew. He discovered his mistake whon ho found himself defendant in auction for a breach of promise ? A little quack doctor who was called in to see a sick child, looked at the child ?felt its pulse and shook his head. "I do not exactly understand the child's case," said he, "but I tell you what I can do; I can givc.it some medicine that will throw it into fits, 1 am some on fits!" ? A man stopped one of our reporters the other day, and asked him what he con? sidered the height cf provocation, of course he didn't know. -'Well sir," said he, "in my judgemont it is waking a new lj' married couple at four o'clock in the morning to inquire if they want to buj' any potatoes!" ? A minister was walking out one day, and passed two littlo boys, one of whom made a bow. As ho turned back he heard the following amusing conversation : '?Why, John, didn't you know that was Parson M.?" '?Yes, of course I did." "Why did you not make a bow to him?" "Why, mother don't belong to his church." ? A gentleman remarked in a tavern that he had shot a hawk at ninety yards with ?uimber G shot. Another replied? "Must have a good gun, but Uncle Dave has one there that beats it." "Ah ! how far will his kill a hawk with No. 6 shot?" asked the first. "I don't uso shot or ball either,'' said Uncle Dave himself. "Thon, what do you use." "I use salt altogether. I kill my game so far with my gun, that it might spoil before I could get to it." ? A tipsy loafor mistook a globe lamp with letters on it for tho queen of night. "I am blessed," said he, "if somebody hain't stuck an advertisement on the moon."
