Extract from letter to the Editor, dated
LENo1R, Caldwell Co., May 26.

LESOIR, CafQWeil TO-, may 20.
ALTHOUGH we are suffering much for want of
rain, the prospects of the farmers in our County
are quite cheering Many farmers could not break
up their falow land last fall in consequence of pro.
tracted drouth; consequently they had to SOW
wheat in stalk land in many neighborhoods; and
though seed wheat was scarce and high, I think
almost or quite rs large swrrth was sown as
usual. The promising appearance Of the wheat
crop.is one Of the leading topics of conversation
among the people.
l have been through different sections of the
County, and from what observed and could learn
from the mest observing farmers there is more corn
planted this spring than ever has been in any pre-
ceding season In fact it was feared and even pre-
dicted by some that in consequence of the lab6rng
class SO largely off to fill up the ranks in the army.
that the people left could not properly cultivate
large crop Of corn; but the dry weather for some
weeks past has been 80 favorable for working over
and repianting corn that this dread is about dssi
pated. The people generally have planted largely
increased crops Of potatoes, Irish and sweet the
former looking unusually we'll and garden vegeta-
bles Of all kinds in proportion.
The people Of Caldwell became aroused fully to.
the necessity Of the times, and with determina-
ton and energy seldom if ever surpassed, deter.
mined to make plenty to live upon themselves, and
If possible some to spare to- feed their soldiers in
the army, Of which she has as many according TO-
population as any County in the Confederacy.-
The.wives of soldiers who never expected to hoe
corn until now, go cheerfally to the field every day,
and not few may be seen ut the plow. handles =
Now is the most trying times, but We bear of no
actual suffering A few weeks more and the danger
of actual suffering will be past" - 8 -.

1t will be seen from the following letter from
Gov. Vance addressed to Capt Hays. of Cherokee,
that the Governor has agreed to arm the people west
of the ridge to enable them to protect themselves
against incursions of the enemy, and preserve or
der among themselves against deserters and evil
disposed persons. We think the plan suggested
good one, and trust it will be carried out Capt Hays
deserves much credit for his efforts to serve and pro-

STATE OF NORTH CARoL1sA,)
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT..
Raleigh June 6, 1868.
Capt. G.. ". Hays:
DEAR SIR In answer to your representations
Of the great danger to the property and peace Of
the mountain country 'arising from the disaection
on the border of Tennessee and the great number
of deserters who are resortiug thther; and being
we'll aware Of their TRUTH and of the inability Of the
militia to properly guard and protect that region,
make the following proposition, which hope the
good citizens will accede to for their own defence.
That they shall regularly enlist end form compa-
MES in all the counties west Of the Blue RIDGE of
persons not subject to conscripton, and swear Into
the service of the State, on the express condition
that they are not to be removed from their own
Counties without their consent to serve without
pay, and the State to furnish arms and ammunition
The companies thus formed to remain at home ex:
cept when actually called out for temporary service
to repel invasion, break up and arrest gangs OF de-
serters preserve order and enforce the laws. In all
other respects they will be State troops and subject
to the articles of war.
In no other way shall be able to furnish protec-
ton the good and loyal citizens of that country,
as have no regular troops to spare for that pur.
pose. If they viii do this they vll not only pro-
teet their own homes, but will render service 70
the State and the Confederate cause not so brilliant
indeed, but almost as valuable as that which their
glorious sons and brothers have done all the bat
tie fields of the South.
Very truly yours,
T. B. VANCE.
