Tho Americas, (Ja., Llccordor publish
es ii story illustrative o? Oonoral Bragg's
cruelty. The scone o? thia cruelty was
Cornith, Mis?., und tho tioio during tho
let reut from Shiloh. Bragg wus pt rfiOU
iilly superintending tho loadiug of tho
cars. . Ile bad a grout burly fellow
oursing tho nu n and inciting the .1 to
greater aotivity. A young sohliei aol
over U<), tull and bandsonto, though palo
and ilolicate, passed nj? tho platform
looking for tho cars in which tho sick
were to be transported. Ho was ovi lout
ly ill. Tho burly fellow hailed him,
ordered him to fall m and help lu iwo
tho good? into tho cir.;. The Boldii r re
plied that ho waa too iii to work; had ho
been ablo ho would have been with his
regiment. The big fellow called tito
general's attention to this insubordina
lion, iiiul Oonoral Bragg ordered tho
young mun to go to work. Ho repi aletl
tho answer ho had given tho nu n in
chingo of the pipiad.
The general's eye Boomed to I lash Uro
us he exclaimed :
"What! Von dare t > disobey my
ordors?"
"1 do," calmly replied the yoting man.
't he general callod a lieutenant of u
Louisiana company of regulars d iing
guard duty, and said:
"TnUe six ol your company and v, irry
thia man to that grovo ai d shoot him.
The lieutonaut called his nu n, bu be
fore going to the grove General Brugg
took lum asido and talked foi ainoi ont.
The recalcitrant soldier waa then taken
to the grove and placed upon ll tool
with his baok to a treo. Ho refuged to
bo blindfolded, bul took <?iV his watch, ;
ohain und ring, wrote a naine on a piece i
of paper an I handed it all to tho liei ten
ant, asking that tho jewelry be SOM to
tho address given."
"Now I am ready," Le said.
Ti.o muskets wi re levoh d. The j ung
man looked ut their mu/./.lcH asctdmly as
though ho was being photogiapl'ied.
After n moment tho lietilouant ordered
"Recover arma." Ito rushed ujion tho
young soldier, complimented him nj iou
his bravery, returned bia Jowolry,
ordered him to go.
"Where is tho hov . " (louerai Bragg
asked of the lieutenant a few minutes
hiter.
"Oouo," MUS the reply, und tho dory
of the young man'.- behavior was told.
The general had BCarcll made for him,
saying; "I'll promote bim." Thcr.oldior

"What wore your sensations while

"1 cannot hardly ti ll. A mau who

"Did you ovor afterward nee General

Tho timo has como with tito Southern
fanners when they soc tho necessity of
abandoning old methods, and adopting
new ones; tito introduction of horse
reapers, mowers, and plows that will ox
pedito cultivation and economizo I.thor,
shows that wo aro in a transition Btato;
preparing to reduce the area of cotton
planting, and increase tho area of grain,
clover, grass and other crops; in short,
wo aro fixing up for diversified farming.
This is wont 1 have been recommending
to nil our fatmoni for tho lost (iftcen I
years in all my articles in Tho Southern j
Cultivator, ami other agricultural jour-j
uals. 1 am glad to BOO the chango lias j
begun, and in tho near future, wo will
see our .Southern farms once moro teem
ing with line crops of corn, wheat and
oats, as well as clover and grass, and
fine stock of all kinds of our own raising,
making us as wo should bo, a self-sup
porting, prosperous sot ol farmers. Wo
have served too long a time at making
cotton, which has impoverished tho
farmers and made rich the n>< rel.ants
and cotton ki: gs; let US How turn over
a new leal, and farm for our own good
and prollt. Wo have tho country, tho
lands and the climate adapted to the
most diversified system of farming ol
any other COUntryj all needed, is tho
will, to make it so -so let it bo so. Ag
ricultural machinery is new to most of
our ?Southern farmers, and especially to
tho negro, the laborer we have mostly to
rely on; but still I here are many of thom
Blluicii idly intelligent with a littlo train
ing lo make them lise thom advantage
ously under the supervision of tho own
er. dur young farmers should drive
their OWU reapers and mowers; but with
old fanners who have not sons to use
them, they are dependent on hirelings,
but if possible tiley should lie operated
under their supervision, for liko all ma
chinery they must bo used with judg
ment and care. But when there ls n
?viii, there is a way, and grain and grass
crops will soon b ach ns tho right way of
using machinery. Homo IT or 18 years
ago, bet?re tho cotton craze seized our
people, grain and grass was mostly tho
erupa of this section of country, but
thou tho cradle was tho harvester; a few
rcapors were being introduced at that
time; heavy cumbersome things, killing
to tho animals that worked to thom, und
many soon became wrecked from their
own lilt liioienoy. So they did not take
w ith tho farmers, being also high-] riced;
they cost them from $190 to 8"200 Ith
out the mowing attachment; they ure
new made lighter, moro easily handled,
and much cheaper; this" is a greili ad
vautago, 80 more will bo bought and
used. But KOIU0 of our people ask,
"how an: wo to get any money, if WO
stop raising cotton and raise all grain,
grass and stock?'' Wo don't toll you to
stop growiug cotton altogether, wo only
loll you to plant Uss cotton, nud phud
moro grain, and sow grass ami raise
stock, and Ked yourselves, and buvo
'onie to spare to total tho city and vil
lage folks; and stop buying ad your food
supplies from tho merohauts bi como
farmers in the true sense of tho meaning
of the word, ai tl not merely eottOU
planters, which menus, "the hewers of
wood, and drawers O? water."
I expect throe-fourths of tho people <>f
thu South, inoluding farmers, are fed t u
imported food, if that be so, can't ve
help fooil them, and make .some molloy
that May, and it' we did it, and reduced
tho production of cotton, wu would get
more money for our colton, ami feed
ourselves and our follow citizens, ami
liuvo two strings to our bow instead of
ilie ono string, cotton won't wo bo Init
ter oil'than exchanging our cotton crops
for corn, Hour ami bacon? Wo have
tried it long enough to convince ?my
sensible man that it was the rum of our
fat mors, and bas reduced some to abject
poverty, Hence, lam glad to see tba*,
farming Bon th is in a transit condition,
getting ready to discard tho methods, td'
the la.-.i fifteen or twenty years, and for
adopting new methods. Let tho reaper
and thc mower como fast and numerous
among us, for it is an evidence of better
times coining; it portends the making ol'
our own foot! supplies, ami when that is
tloiie, farm mortgages will cease and WO
shall onco more become freo men, und
unencumbered, ami visit our tow ns and
ci lies as independent mell, willi no sus
picions against us as debtors-merely
"hewera of wood, and drawors of wator.
I look for good results to come out ol
the Interstate Convention of farmers to
bo held in Atlanta in August next, where
all matters pertaining to tho interest and
welfare of tho farmers and farming will
bo fully disoursed, Lot each tell his ox
porionco ami compare notes, and lind
exactly lu* we stand. lt will be au
assemblage of intelligent men roproscnl
mg several (States, and all part? ot each
State. They know exactly tho condi
tion of the farms and fanners from theil
respective localities, ami can furnish cor
rei t and reliable reports of the condition
as it exists over a largo area of thu South.
lt is to bo hoped that every Southon
State will bo well represented. Let al
the difforont kinda of farmers bo there
tho cotton planters, tho rice planters,
lb? ingar planters, tho grain and grus:
fanners, tho tobacco raisers, and truel,
farmers and fruit growers, and all kind:
of farmers, and lot us have a big camp
meeting, and o lass-moo ting, and love
feast, and give in our experience, am
compare notes, ami learn how wo stunt
ihroughout the country. Suggestion:

to the bank, one al a timo, compelling
tho poor teller to make thirty separate

for three days an armistice was deolan d

and tho teller gritted his teeth w hen ho

and the young villain prepared to reduce

almost ext lusivoly by lu gro labor, shows
a fulling ?.il', too, while the rico crop iu
fjouisiiuiu, grown nhihii* by whites, is
iherouiiing. Cotton is raised o vor a

now two-iifths ('2,000,0 0) larger than it
was before the war-and th? ineroase is

While tho minutes show that the build

by benjamin Franklin to his sister, who
said that tho the daily walks to and from

place at high noon and among those who
walked in uno were tho Judges of the
Supremo Court, tho Marshal of tho Ad
