Cornl cornI

In view of the fact that our ports will
be to some extent, blockaded, and all in
%tercourse with the Western States cut off
by the impending war, we urge on the
farmers, to increase their crop Of corn,
and Of all other articles that can be used
as food for man or beast. Those who
have not already planted heavily Of corn,
should at once cross their cotton in corn,
at a distance of from twelve to eighteen
feet, or plough up every third or fourth
row Of cotton, and drillit in corn.
Where the stand of cotton is bad it
would be better to plough it all up and
plant corn. Corn planted for two or
three weeks yet, will under favorable cir
cumstances make an average crop. Should
the war continue long, the Cult States
may have to furnish our cities with pro
visions, and the surest way to accomplish
our independence is to produce what we
consume. The merchants of Cincinnati.
have resolved TO send no more provisions
South. and while the war lasts, we must
depend on our own productions for sub
sistence. Let our planters at once look
to this. A heavy corn crop will be equal
to an army for defence. The prospect TOR
corn and grain 50 far is favorable, and we
hope to see at least double the amount Of
any former crop gathered. Let the Abo-
litionists of the West, hereafter look to
the fanrtics Of New England for their
market.

The President Message.

We devote tho most of our available
space to-day, to the publication of this
important document, to the exclusion Of
several valuable communications, and a
greater portion of our editorial.
We need not ask our readers to peruse
the message. Every body viii do 50 as a
matter OF course. An ADLER State paper
has seldom peer issued-one Which dealt
more completely with the topics to which
il was intended to refer, and more perfect
~ fulfilled the purposes for which it was
designed. Calm, temperate, able and dig
nifed, it vindicates beyond controversy
the position and action OF the Confederate
States, and will, we doubt not, nave a tel
ling effect in convincing foreign nations
Of the justice of our and the purity
of motive by which We nave been actua-
ted. No impartial man at home or abroad
can read the plain convincing statement
of President Davis in regard to the origin
Of our sectional difficulties and fail to
conclude that the South is in the right,
and acting only in the defensive to rePel
the most unholy and unjustifiable assault
ever committed by n people claiming
to be civilized, upon another. The Presi-
lent shows the origin and progress of the
effort which the North has made to put
the ban of inferiority, social and political
upon the numerically weaker section, the
Southland his discussion of the false
dogma of the North thatsuperior allegiance
is due to the Federal Government as
against that due to the States, is most adj
mirable and conclusive. The old doctrines
| of the founders of the republic, already
overthrow by the North, are still held by
the Confederate States as the only sound
basis OF a Republican Confederation.
We need not refer specially to the
various suggestions and recommendations
Of the Message, except to say that they
seem to us to be wise and proper. Evi-
IDENTIFY. the Government at Montgomery
is in the hands of men who are bending
all their energies to the service of the
country, and whose acts are marked by
the most far-seeing and comprehensive
craftsmanship.
1t will be observed that the President
protests hat he is for peace. as he has
been all the time, the moment the indie
pendence of the Confederate States is Sc
| cured. The instant that the Government
of the United States abandons its preten-
sion that we are to be reduced by force Of
arms to subsection, 1.-THE sword will drop
from our grasp, and We shall be ready to
enter into treaties of amity and com
merce."
If the people of the North were not
blinded and maddened by passion, this
calm, courteous, dignifed Message of the
| Southern President might have the effect
Of causing them to reverse their policy.
In their present temper, however, they
would not listen though one should rise
/ from the dead. We must trust to arm
for our present security, and to the YER
\ dict of impartial history for our complete
Justification in the eyes of the world.

We would advise members Of volun-

until they receive marching orders, mere
UNFOLDING Themselves in readiness. The
officers might provide for an occasional
meeting and drill Of their companies, so
as to keep up their organization and
know that their men are in place and
ready when needed. The propriety Of
these suggestions is found in the fact
that many of the companies may not be
called out for several months. and the in
convienence, not to say injustice ofkeePing
a body of men together at private ex-
pense, for that length Of time, must be
obvious to every one.
At this time five thousand more volun-
teers have been mustered into service,
than are peeded to fill the present re-
quisitIon of eight thousand. They are
ready to meet any future requisition that
may be made, but it is almost certain that
many of them will not be needed till next
fall. This beng the case they should con-
tinue to pursue their usual occupations till
called for.
