THE QUALITY OF SOIL BEST ADAPTED TO CLOVER.
The question is often asked what kind of soil is best
adapted to the growth of clover Many ask this queS
ton because they imagine that have little soil
in this part of the State in which clover be
cessfuly cultivated Such persons certainly labor I'M
der great mistake. Having given considerable attcn-
ton the subject for several years able to speak
with great degree of confidence regarding it. On
own plantation | have many five six different
kinds of SOIL and believe that clover, if properly cul
tivated will grow all. think that might take
these different varieties of soil specimen of the soil
in this part of the State. All SOILS however, not
equally adapted to clover is the with all other
crops The red clay loan is the very best but any soil
that is adapted raising wheat is adapted to raising
clover. Now, think will dispute the superior
excellence of most of the surrounding country for
raising wheat consequently reasonably dis
pute the fitness of the soil for the successful culture of
clover.
However, to insure success, the great prerequisite
is not much the natural quality of the soil as the
thorough preparation before planting the seed Unless
the farmer his land in good ORDER he had better not
engage in this department of farming for assure him
before hand that if he does he will be sure to fail 1t

In the battle Of Bosworth field King
Richard III w.s grievously perplcxed BY
the presence Of si1 Richmonds. Fortu-
Dately there is only enc Richmond in the
field of the great American battle, and
when that one is taken care OF, the war
will be practically ended. JEFF Davis has
removed his seat of Government from
Montgomery to the Capital Of Virginia.
Evertling points TO the conclusion that st
Richmond the last and decisive stand OF the
traitors is TO be made, # Richmond falls,
everything else falls with H. In a recent
speech Of Howell Cobb, defending ths
action Of his moot Congress in removing
their Capital to Richmond, the great
fnaneier declared that the cause Of Yir-
ginja Was the cause Of the South, and il
they could not hold Richmond they could
not hold anything. The special cores
pordcnt Of the London Times expressed
the opinion, in this city, that i Gen. Scott
should take Richmond be would have
little difficulty in taking everything else
There can b hardly doubt that General
Scott understands the business the same
way, and that he is now concentrating al
his forces in Virginia with view Of end
ing the war practically on Virginia soil.
Aside from the stupendous disaster o
losing his seat Of Government JEFF. Davi:
would find his army so demoralized By the
succession Of defeats, which must neces
sari)y precede it, that it could not possibly
be held together, or induced to make
another stand Charleston, Montgomery
and New Orleans will go down like = rov

Tho Cotton L0ans

The Atlanta ConJederaey publishes A1eck
Stephens speech In that city, advocating the
great cotton loan. The following Is the most
material portion:
The proposition which the government
makes and which Is this day presented to you,
lsto take 3 loan from the planters aud far
mers instead Of money. The products Of the
soil will answer the purposes Of the Govern
ment quite as well as coin. Grain, bacon aud
bteadstut5 generally, are necessary for the
Subsistence Of tho army. These have to be
bought with coin, II We had it In hand; while
cotton and tobacco can Azd will at all times
e command the coin. The proposition. then,
!s hist each farmer and planter shall lend to
the gorelnment-no give but lend-so much
ct his produce as he can spare, and receive
Government bonds for it bealing per cent
interest. In this part Of the State cotton is
the main staple. BreadstnfIs could be got
more ctesply elsewhere Nov, Il plAnter
makes 50 bales Of cotton and ten will answer
ties, he 10 asked to lend the remaining forty
to the Government, and take bonds at 8 per
cent. interest instead Of laying ont his sur
plus In other kinds Of property. II twenty
five Of this fifty be Necessary for his own
pressing necessities, let him lend the other
then let him lend the remaining nth Of his
crop. Whatever may be the expected sur
plus over sud above bis pressing Wants, let It
be vested in Government bonds at per cent
interest instead OF remaining Idle In their
hands or put In other kinds Of property. This
Is the proposition. It. is easily understood
The form Of subscription Is in these words:
ave, the Subscribers, sgreas to contribute
to the defense Of the Confederate States, the
portion Of our crop set down to our respective
names the same TO be placed In warehouse,
OF IL facto1's hands, and sold on or befora the

Each one win designate the plscs and the

the number Of bales, and the time within
which 1t Is to be delivered and sold. One
word as to the nature OF the subscription here
asked. OF cou1se there cannot be certainty ~
to the extent Of the yield Of the growing
crops. Subscriptions must n necessarily be made
subject to the contingencies Of SEASONS and
