HOW TO MA^E CORN FOR OUR ARMY.
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.

ateji't wiib -"^nnB at \^ill"-^vfe went on the
Lo6kVOiU-*Mo5nta;n to see wliat could be
seen from tbe Point near the Tennessee
River. 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

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.

We are fortifiying Chattanooga. Large
details are daily made from the different

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

at the mountain side. "We would advise

Richmond, July 18.?The Tribune c
the 15th is very severe on the Herald am
World and .chtrges that their counsel
excited the riot that occurred io that citj
There is not a word of comment on th
outbreak in the Herald, except a prefac
to the dtscription of the scenes. Grael
made a narrow ?6cape on the first day; th
crowd being informed he was dining a
Winduats, proceeded to that place. Gree
ly bfeiny apprised of their approach escape*
in a hack. Sevieral men, supposed to b
reporteri of the Tribune, were roughl;
handled, and one killed.
After making due allowance for th
sensational character of the reports o
newspapers, it is evident that the riot wa
the mott formidable outbreak of thq. kirn
that ever occurred on this continent, an<
will encournge similar demonstrations ii
other rvorth'eriv cities.
