The Abbeville Press. -A.bbeville, S. C. W. A. LEE, EDITOR. TERMS?Three Dollars a year in advance. Friday, April 5, 1867 COTTON VS. CORN. Under tliis title, we Me, in the la*t number /ot tlio Columbia riuenix, a communication froru our esteemed fiieml Co'. 1*. Wyatt Aiken, controverting (He position of that j>aper in nj vising our planters to ruiso corn rattier tlinn cotton. Ak lie well remarks?" tbe prime duty of tliw Sontlu rn planter is to lend liis entire en ergy to tbe cultivation of those crops, th.it U Jiiui will be most remunerative." It is a que* tion uot of patriotism, but of dollars and con is and even if it were, duty and intereat lien coincide?self-love and patriotism dictate tin lime policy. We me to cultivate those cropi which pay best, and what are these, but tlion wliii>h onr otimnla and noil are best adapted Are IbcM cotton nnd wheat, let these then bi our staples, at the euiue time llint other crop arc not neglected. We make the following extracts : *' Abbeville is on? of the largest and tnos productive Districts in thcState. The averng* yield of iad cotton here per acre is about pounds, which will jiejd 150 pounds of /??, cojton and twelve bushels of eeed. The ave rage yield of corn ie about twelve and a hal bushels per acre?tlie eatno acre producing tw< bushels of pea? ond 15 0 pounds of fodder.? The value, theo, to tho planter, and hrnc< to the District and State, of these respective acres may be be computed thus : 150 lbs. of lint cotton, at 20c $30 00 12 bushels of cotton seed, at 25c...... S 00 Oross proceeds from an acre in cottou $33 U( 1?+ bushels of com, at $1.50 . . 18 75 2 bushels of peas, at $1.50 .... 3 00 ika r~.1 .i AI iuu jub. ui tuuucr, at ^i ?.' . i. DU Gross proceed? from an acre in .Corn . . .$23 21 Excess in favor ?>f acre in cotton . . .$07; Cotton lias not yet fallen to twenty oenta pc pound, and, I hope, never will. Corn can now be bought in Baltimore and delivered iu Abbe villa District for less than $1.50 par buphel and had the South last year mode her usual corn crop, corn would now be n drug on th< market, at per bushel. It may be urged that it requires more labo to cultivate an acre of cotton than one of corn Not a Of The labor that will produce twelvi and a half bushels cf corn will produce 45< poupds of cotton, and oftener than otherwiei -will produce 600 pouuds. Experience hai taught that a hand who will cultivate twelv< acraa will do so with more ansa by planting sight seres in cotton and four in cotton, thnr rby putting it all in corn or all in cotton. Ant if to, tha planter, with a crop of two-thirdi cotion and ona-tliird corn, will realize rnor< net moaey fiom his crop than by planting all ir com. Did ?paee allow, I think I could prove tlisi ,corn was the least remunerative crop a Soul) Carolina planter can cultivate. Corn cannot be shipped to exchange for such family euppliei as wa do not and cannot glow ; corn will noi DUV off fr^PiltnAn fnr loKni? ? r_ .... ,HW?4 t uuiii ouncie mure from drought than any cr.op we plant, ar.d corc ^exhauststhe land more than cotton and as tnncl: Bsrauoh as any of the other grains. All these art facta that can be proven. ^ -THE CONFISCATION BCHEME OF THAD DEU8 STEVENS. We have lately read with some interest Hie /speech recently delivered in the House ol Representatives by Thaddcua Stevens in sup port of his Confiscation Bill, nod which wc find ^published at length in the New York 2Yibune, And thflimh itl**. nnnai. * ' * _ D_ ...... mi; jjioi. organ ui inc Radical party, declares that "unless the Dein ocraU shall Again rally in solid column to haa support, as they did when he advocated the .Reconstruction Bill, ha is not likely to have much success ip urging confiscation," yet the tatemtnU of {hp speech are eo plausible, the arguments so specious, and the appeals go artfally addressed to the cupidity, and sections! prejudices of the raasapp, that it .jnuat have its inflaence upon the class to whom it^ is addressed, and subserve its purpose of educating the popular mind to the reception of the doc trines set forth and advocated. The tatk would Beem not to be a difficult one. The right to confiscate fallows naturally and legitimately fiom the nr?m!??? r. . ouu is ui * piece with the rijjbt to estabCsh military government, and oilier assumptions of the present Congress j We are in lha Union'or we are not. If in the Union, 'toe Would be entitled to the exercise of all the righ's which It guarantees, the protection <fl tb'o civil law, and the right of reprcien tation, bat if bat of th^.Union, we hold everything at the mercy of the conqueror. We (ire * as muoh entitled to the habeas corpus, trial t>y jury, the ri^bt of suffrage, and the right of rep-retentation, aa we coald be to the lands we oc eupy, Jbe fight to establish military government, is the right to confiscate, Assume the 'premises of the'Radicals, and confiscation is a question not of right but expediency.
