DIR. Strickland, writing from Hilton Head,
South Carolina, to the Christian Advocate
and Journal, says:
Notwithstanding all that has been written
on the subject, one must see for himself TO
form a correct estimate of the agricultural
resources of the Sou b. The soil, which has
the appearance of barren sand, and would
be given to salt by Norlherner, is the
richest imaginable. We are eneamped in a
field about mile long aud quarter of
mile in breadth, two thirds of which, when
we pitched our tents, was white with the
third picking of cotton of quality the most
beautiful and valuable in the world, and the
remaining third brown with unpicked corn
of large ears and white hard grains. Better
corn We never saw, DOR finer yield per acre
fer its quality. Sweet potatoes are found in
great quantities and of the most delicious
| flavor, and the same may be said CT all other
esculents of the garden. Lsrge quantities OF
| cotton have been found on this and the sd
! iscent islands in barns much of which is
ready for market What will be done with
| it we know not, but if shipped TO market it
would yield handsome revenue, and help
to pay the expenses of this iniquitous rebel
lion The corn is being brought into the
fort from the island, and we counted the
other day fourteen wagons, each drawn by
| four horses, loaded with this valuable pro-
/ duct.
1t is all folly to talk about starving out the
| South by the blockade of her ports, The
cotton might he all consumed tO-day, and
| the South would only suifer in her want OF
luxuIies; while the corn, rice, potatoes and
| hogs and cattle, with the fish, oysters and
wild game, would prove abundant for all
necessary demands. In our estimation, the
taking and holding all the Southern ports,
so far from cpnqueri0R the South, would
| amount to nothing more 'han slight incon-
venience, which can readily be submitted to
| so long as il can maintain its independence.
This is doubtless fully understood by the
South; and till she can bring her resources
fully to bear in meeting the necessary de-
mands for subsistence, her slaves will be
put, as they have been ia numerous instances,
upon short allowance, and even this dith
Guilty will be ObViated wherever our army
advances, as il is the policy of the Govern
| ment TO treat them as slaves and support
them. 1t strikes us that such a policy, while
il prolongs the war, is of great advantage tC
the enemy 10 relieving them from burdens
and enabling them, ia the evacuation of |
town OF plantation, to leave behind them tn,
old, sickly and worthless portion of thei
slaves.
To bring the Southern Coufederacy bacl
to its allegisDce something more is neCea
cary than the taking and holding the fort
and other property of the United States
because when all this is accomplished thes
States will be as independent as they ca
possibly desire under the circumstances
Their "let alone" policy may not cover 8
wide field as they desire; but IL will be sui
6ciently so TO satisfy them ia the possesslO
of their right 10 hold and buy AID sell q
bogs and cattle the cOlOred race, r'H
