That we cannot expect peace during Lincoln'# Administration, and that our territory for raising supplies lias been reduced to a much smaller area, hy- the invasions of our enertiy, it stands tbe farmer in hand to make every exertion in his power to raise corn and produce. We hoar it talked by many of our farmers that they cannot make more corn now, than they did when they planted a filll crop of cotton. This defect can be easily remedied, if otfr farming community will go to work in time. It is ?? >?<u?u dui, i.iibl one acre oi land put in the right condition, and manured in the hill, will yield at least three times as much corn as it'will if not manured. JJoW, if every farmer will go property to work, on his plantation, he can, undoubtedly, manufacture a. sufficient nuantity of jopahUt-e to m?hure,rif)Hh? hill^ alltUe best Hinds Ce. has?let them bebottoma or good tip-lands. In this event, let the farmer #ow hia poorer lands in small grain. pursuing this policy, there is no doubt bat that our farmers in this country will become con vinced that they can raiae double or treble as much corn than they did, when they cultivated a full cropof cotton. Now is the time to go to work to produce manure for next year'* crop of corn. A crop cultivated upon the *bov? plan Will require niUCli lees Horse power, and will be much easier and better cultivated; while the planter will have ample time to gather all the small grain ha can sow wiihontany detriment or neglect on the part of liis corn crop; he will also, be enabled- lo afford more and better pastures for his hogs.?The soldier who risks his life, and undergoes all privatfons, foi the defence of your property must be fed ?their farailes must not suffer. Let oat- plan ters go lo work now and prepare for a large yield from our next crop. ^ ^ . * FSOM FLORIDA.

Obtaining permits from tbe Brigadier, Rev. Mr. Whilden, of Charleston, S. 0^ Capt. W. J.Talor, Lieut. Boatick, Inman and myself set out at ao early hour this morning for our trip. After we had gone about two miles up tbe mountain 6ide w? were overtaken by Capt. R .Z. ffarlee, and Lieutenants Richardson on (lie same mission- that we were on: After baiting and - resting with ns a* abort time we resumed our walk until we came to a spring on the uppe? side of the road. The spring had been dug out as a cave on accouutof the peculiar clay found here. It is used to make fire proof bricks. Bricks made of this dirt or clay are not affected bj the hottest furnacc. At this spring we found Mr. James D. Foster, who lived a few hundred yards farther up the mountain, and used water from this spring. Be unlocked the door opening to the spring and offered us his cup, and, as we . had Become thirsty from heat aud ascend ing the hill, we thanked the old man, and .accepted his offer. Aftoi* satiating our thirst, we b?ga?-to make some inquiries as to the places of interest on the mountain. He appeared perfectly acquainted with the mountain and directed us to several places which wo found impracticable to visit, at present-. He directed us. to the 'Rock City," The "Great Lake," and the "Rock Creek Falls." We left for the "Peak" towards the Tennessee promising ourselves that if an opportunity present itself that we should visit these places. We are now ou the top of the Mountain and soon arrived at the beautiful little village called Summerville. There are no very expensive buildings* but all are neatly arranged. Only a few persons are now living in this village, owing I presume to tbe condition of tbo country. After | pasting to tlie extreme end of town we met with Co). D.uiiel E. Cocke, of General Morgan's command. The Colonet invited us into bis bouso but we thankbim and excused ourselves on account of time. He was very communicative. He soon told us that he was a native of the Old Dominion, and appeared proud to claim it as his native State. He is a wealthy pfanter. He walked1' to the edge of the mountain and showed us one of bis farm* in the valley. He is one of tbe F.F. V's lie said that Morgan had promised to go to camp Chase at an early day. Bidding the Colonel adieu we proceeded to tbe point, where we found a half dozen members of tbe signal corps. They were continually transmitting dispatches, eit{i& to or from* tbe front. This was tfti'second post. The first beiDg in the city. The corps hava posts At prominent points along tie ronte from the General's Headquarters to the outposts. These posts are generally about three or four miles apart. By means of this corps dispatches may be -sent a long distance in a very few minutes. They signal from one to another by certain waves of a dag. The meaning of tha particular moves of the flags are of course not known to any except themselves. t From the Point we bad a magnificent ' view of> this mountainous country. The yalleylooked from tl^is high peak much at a*well cultivated garden of evergreens, the trees looked yke bushes or shrubbery. The roads looted as narrow walks the hills as mounds. ?he broaA?river n* 5t Biml* about tile valley akirtwflPnb overhanging leV outspreading trees Teminds one of a pathway bounded by boxwood. Saving /recently seen these mountains I lack that "rtegree of inspiration^ that general seizes one upon first sight, but I never look upon the|((rand spectacle without involuntarily being filled with a feeling of the majesty and power of the Creator of these things, and of the frailty and weakness of man. Leaving the post of the sigual corps and climbing down a narrow mkswa* tlirAu?i< w . J 6" bfgh diffe we descended by a different route from the one we went up. ' When we were half way down the mountain, we come to a dwelling where'lived a family by the name o| Crovs>n?. We 'balled and asked /or dinner. Being answered in the nffsr matiTe, we were offered seats to await .dfenar.

Dinner vras soon announced and we sat down t o^h excellent meal. After dining we returned to camp and found it deserted. The Brigade had moved in our absence a distance of abount three miles on another road east of Chattanooga. Our present camping ground is but little better than the one we left. The principal advantage of this camp is, that we are more to ourselves, and not so much orowded by trd^s. Rey. Mr. Whiideo, of Charleston, S. C., was wuu us a tew days of the last week. HoJ^issien beirfflpto distribute Testaments >*outh Caroliuia troops, lie distributed in the lOtb and 19th S.

Mr. Wbilden deliveied a sermon to us before ho left our camp. Such fissions are always attended with muot>?ood. Lieut. Wm. Mattieon hasl^en with us a few days.

I am under special- obligations to liim for kindness manifested'." He will accept our thanks. We are fortifiying Chattanooga. Large details are daily made from the different Regiments for this purpose. Capt A. Clinkscales has received a number of recruits to his company this week. It appears strange to me that so many, should prefer to go to Virginia in preference to coming here. We are in the healthiest lo?y*lity of the Confederacy breathing pure -mounlaiu air and drinking clear cool wa*ter at the mountain side. "We would advise any otheM who think of going into the service to select this array or. account of the health of the country that we are in. We are well fed and enjoy better health than any troops in the Coufed?racy.
