This is a dark and gloomy picture, but a little reflection will cause any fair-minded man to acknowledge that it l* not overdrawn. If any one, alter contemplating it. does not feel that we are desperately "sick" aud in need of a physician, he must be blind indeed Taking into consideration, then, the natnre of our lands—their friable texture and broken character—I pjaltc the assertion that we are committing a crime akin to suicide to continue longer onr preseQt system; and not to devote our energies entirely to stock raising, as being the only method by which we can derive any income from our lands without, at the same time, losing as mush or more from tbs washing away of the soil than the profit on the crop cultivated amounts to. Aud ‘ thW brings mo back to my snbject—“Is the rotation of crops a benefit to IniKi? And if so, what rotation is liesl adapter to our immediate section?” To ths first proposition I answer emphatically yes; and will proceed fo give the reasons why. i’lants, like animals, differ much in, thpir habit* aud in the dlfterciict sort* of food upoh which they subsist. 'Hie broad leafed clovers, turnips and peas obtain much of their nourishment from the air; while the narrow leafei grains aud grasses—especially if their seeds , are rinened—withdraw mainly mineral fooa from the soil. The oererls require large supplies of phos phoric acid and silica for their healthy nutrition. The Ivegnmes require lime; and turnips, clover and potatoes take, up a great amount of ]>otash. Some crops, as clover and pe&s, feed on the subsoil from having a Up-root, and thus bring up stores of fertility from below, which they store near the.sui- face. Indian corn and the small grains being surface-rooted plants, derive their substence from near the surface. Indian corn, when sown in peas, the small grains, peas sown alone, clover and the grasses tend to keep up a ■aapiy of humus; while cotton our principal crop heretofore, requires clean cnltnre so late in the summer as to allow no other growth on the land and leaves it bare the whole time, thus exposing it to the washing rains of both winter and summer. If it were not for the constant washing and leaching, cotton—which practically on our hilly lands will impoverish a field sooner than any other crop—would be tho least exhaustive of any we could {Hunt continuously; provided the seed were returned to the land aud stock kept o ff it. The reason for this is : The lint which is sold is nearly all carbon, a five hundred pound bale Only containing five pounds of mineral!eie- menta or ash, while the rest of those elements'' 1 )nken from the,toil remain ou the form in tho seed. A crop of corn, or oats, or wheat, of equal money value to a bale of oottofi, would' re move several tiroes as much of these mineral elements as the bale of cotton without the seed. But if those crops ore consumed on the farm and tfie manure saved as it should be, they will not exhaust the land as soon as the. cotton, simply because they are humus-producing instead of humus- destroying crops; tytd as they do not leave the land baro all the time, tend to keep it from washing, which is the source of the greatest loss of fertility to as. Euery one knows that a new ground will not wash under three or tour years no matter how steep (lie hillside may be. If. then, by a proper rotation, we could keep our lands charged with humus, they would never wash to injure; and it would seem but tlie diotafu of common sente to endeavor fo to mangge oar farms as to keep up * supply of this all-important con-* stituent. But we do not do this, be cause we 'plant cofton continuously, almost, therefore we are not follow ing the dictates of common sense; and this too, in the face of the tact which wc all admit, that there is no money in it. But suppose our lands were tvrel and did not wayjf. To plant any one crop continuously on the same field wonid be poor farming, and final ly reduoe that field to a state of bar renness os regards that crop, unless an oqoivoient of all the mineral elements removed oaeh was ratnrned to the soil auonally; and in addition thereto as much vegetable matter as had been token up or evaporated bv tho sun. Bat to return this vegetable matter to large fields is impracticable. They cannot be treated like pet patches, and the problem is how to keep np the supply of humus. It can only be done by growing it on the land. This ia both the easiest and the cheapesst wav. But if, white growing this veg etable nutter, we con at the same tlm? grow a crop which will yield an in- come* we kill two birds with +ne gtone; and the science of forming cbn- slats in learning to do thia very thing. Lot at only solve this problem—or if it ha* been solved by others let us by the to ford! not washed iafter theypretool! appearance* ptetely exhausted. What folly, then, to pursue a system of forming which quickest robs the land of tlT important snbstsuoe, and soon pots the best field in sach a condition that no amount of fertiliser* Or guanos can yield good crape of cottou or corn, when there fs not sufficient humus In the soli those mineral ma nures only cause crops to fire or buru up if there is at any time a lack of moisture; and if there is rain sufficient cotton rusts or sheds its fruit, and corn fires. Oats, rye, clover and pea# are the only plant*, with which I am acqnaint- cd, wnlcli are said to yield maximum crops on soils comparatively exhausted of vegetable matter, provided the min eral elements are present in abundance These are all humus-producing crops, and can be made to yield an income while supplying humus for future crops of corn and cotton. But here conies in the question “How are we to obtain these mineral manures?” 'They cost money and our worn out fields cannot yield ns living and buy onr guanos too, with which to raise only oats, rye and peas. Grsgited; hot they certainly will not much longer do that in cotton, cither; and but for the continued clearing of the old worn out fields we would have long since touched bottom, and now be in a desperate condition indeed. Luckily most of us have spine good land yet left, and we should husband it as shipwrecked sailor does his last loaf. For if we Shall regain onr reason and commence a rational system of farmin; these few remaining acres of good Ian will enable us to bridge over the time which must elapse ere we could expect to obtain an income from other sources than cotton. If we will concentrate qur efforts upon this good land —and What Is more, concentrate the manure upon it too—by proper rotation we uun keep it good and nse the income from it to build up the rcat of our tends whiqh are now too poor to pay for cultivating. There is not a farmer in this neighborhood who does not year after year cultivate, nr allow renters to cultivate, land which he knows to be too poor to repay the expense of working,the best of seasons, and the good land tie works has to carry this poor land, ami his profits are thus lessened or entirely test. 'Ve have been using our bruins too littls, and following in old ruts without con sidering whither they are leading us. There is not now, and never has been in our county, a single man who has more than a vague conception of tbe possibilities of an acre of land thor oughly a^d properly worked. fCOKTlNUKD 1JKXT WtEX.j WAR HISTORY. What Q«aeral Hampton Claims for HU Lafftoa at Maaaaaaa. The Aetrs and Courier publishes & long letter from General W*fic IIamp ton, correcting errors in'irticles of Generals Johnston and .lasboden, touching the first battle of Manassas, or Bull Run. General Hampton shows that the Hampton Legion, 600 strong, which he commanded, arrested the victorious columns of Sherman and Keys, who were driving the Confeder ate forces back, and that the Legion *o delayed the Federal advance as to ena ble the Confederate reinforcements to be brought up. The JVe»ci and Cou rier gives an elaborate review of the battle, the history of which, it claims, must now be rewritten. Its conclu sion is that Hampton was to Jackson and Manaso&s what Jackson was to tbe whole Confederate left—Hampton saved Stonewall Jackson, as Jackson saved the army. It was the magnifi cent fighting of the Legion under terri ble odds that gave Jackson time to bring bis troops into position. Had he not had time to form the Yirginians, who afterwards stood like a stone wall, the battle would have been in evitably lost. The • opportunity to form those Virginians was given to Jackson by Hampton and his men, and was given by them alone. , * V*r a Ltfr-Ttmr.

All other rem edies had been exhausted, when my merchant here, who handles* S. S. ti., induced me to try Swift’s Specific. I tried one bottle aud could see that the •ores on my hoods were drying up. After tbe use of several bottles I was entirely cured. My skin is now as fldr oqu'smooth as that of a new-born r tmbe. This eruption was hereditary, as my father was similarly affected. He hrad fclso been entirely cured. I take great pleasure in recommendin it to others who are similarly affectei I can vouch for it. It is all it claims to be.
