of.making change. A man goes to shop
keeper, or sutler, and buys half pound Of
Coffee, for half dollar, and tenders a one
dollar bill Of some Of the Southern banks

bits" for change, he tears the bill in two
parts, keeps one and returns the customer
the other. When the customer wants to
spend the other half of his bill, he goes to
the same merchant, who takes it, pastes
the two halves together, and sends 1t into
the bank to be replaced by smother. The
bills Of the State Bank Of South Carolina,
the Tennessee banks, and Confederate scrip
cOpstitute all the & circulating medium .

submit an estimate Of The profit to be made
BY tie employ Of 5,oOs nsgrOss. They state
that ont Of these 1000 negroes fhsrs Eonld
be 5000 able bodied Woskmen, who would
be capable Of cDldvadng 20. 900 acres Of
land, provided no attention was paid TO the
cultivation Of other crops besides the vege-
tables required for their own use. THIS land
with an average crop, would produce 500
pounds per acre, or I, ,OOO, 600 pounds in the
aggrsgata, Of ginned cotton, which would be
worth, under the most uniavorable circum-
stances, in New York market, Ss1 cents per
pound, or So 600, 900 in the aggregate. To
prOdGcs this crop would require an outlay
the first yeaT for tools, machinery, clothes,
fOOd, &c, Of s6O, 600, leaving profit Of over
Sl,oo0, 900. OF these expenses only $780,
900 would be required before the new crop
began to produce funds from It sale. The
above hrm say they are willing to manage
and carry on the enterprise fer the Govern
msnt giving sufficient sureties, and receiv-
ing as their compensation, 10 per cent Of the
