The Cameron Sentinel gives farmers and
planters the following advice:
We would urge upon our farmers the ne
cessity of preparing every acre of their farms
for the purpose of raising bTeadstuff5. Let
cotton alone, for it. is said there is enough
cotton in the Confederate States TO last tor
several years, and as loug as the war con.
tipues, we will Ouly need what cotton it will
require for home consumption. Raise wheat,
corn oats, barley, peas, etc. Look after your
beeves, for they will bring good price next
| wear. Don't forget TO take care OF the sows
and pigs. By attending to all these matters,
you will be able to pay your debts, buy what
| you want, and have some chink in your
| pockets.
| A Richmond paper says: "a gentleman

States, and thinks war inevitable with
Great Britain if not with France"

The Shreveport (La.) Southwestern says:
One Of our most valued friends, who resides
in Bossier Parish, says that he has ou hanC
plenty of last years crop of corn TO las
until January; that he has made enough corr
this season to last him two years. that during
the past summer he had several hundreC
pounds of well smoked and ssIted hams, sidei
and shoulders besides quantity of lard, anG
| did not buy a single barrel of pork for plan
tation use. He thinks that next winter, 0e
sides retaining an ample supply for homt
consumption, be will be able to sell 1000 o
5000 pounds Of pork or bacon. That is th
, way for planters to do-not raise cotton ant
sugar alone, and have to buy every thin
J else.
