Tobacco and Cotton :.

Mr.. Geo. w. Her, of Garnett, Informs us
that the experiments in raising cotton and
tobacco, made in Anderson county, have
been entirely successful
One farmer had an acre in tobacco, and
several had smaller patches, and the tobac-
CO raised by all is of the best quality. A
contraband sent to the county from Missis-
sippi, by Capt D. w. Houston, gave the
requisite information for its proper cultiva-
ton and manufacture. A market was east
ly found for all that was raised, and high
prices obtqined for it. Several farmers have
determined to go into the culture of tobac-
co much more heavily next season. They
have been taught by their own experience
that it is one Of the most profitable crops
that can be raised.
Cotton was also successfully grown in
Ander on county, and more attention will
be given next year.
Wool, tobacco, hemp-ere long our farm
ers will learn that these are the most profit
able products, and few of them will fail to
give attention to EACH Conservative.

following as being the experience of one of

ball of Hungarian grass seed, weighing from
seven to eight pounds-so hard that it was

Flax.

The high price of cotton should stimulate
our farmers to go into the raising Of fax
again. This time honored staple has come
into disfavor of late, and very little has been
grown by agriculturists in this vicinity
within the memory of this generation. The
lack Of contrivances to manipulate the plant,
and the exhaustive character of the crop.

G.Goin, Permiskus.,,

During the time when Kirby Smith was
supposed to be beleaguering Cincinnati,
last summer, the cOlored population were
in condition of agitation not second in
demonstrativeness to that prevailing among
white folks. An incident took place at
one of their "war meetings. which should
be recorded. The abe-bodied colored men
were debating the propriety of rendering
their services 10 the government as volun-
teers for the war. The prevailing impress
sion had been that they ought to do it, and
their patriotic emotions were at high Afri-
can temperature. But before the vote was
taken, tall and very black fellow produced
sudden revolution Of feeling by delivering
himself as follows: I'm in favor of goin'
and will go in mint if we go permiskus
with white men. tell you why I'm for
goin permiskus. If we go permiskus we Il
have fair play. But let 'em get regiment
all of niggers, and dey put 'em in de fore
front of de battle, and bofe sides kill every
one of 'em. 1 say so. sab, (rolling his
eyes around the audience), and 1 amt 60
in dat way, sab. l amt goin' step less
l 90 permiskus. No, sah." And the able
and eloquent Ethiopian subsidized; and sol
emn sensational pause followed. The eyes
of the assembled darkeys snapped white
and wild at the idea that to 90 in any other
way than 'permiskus'' was certain death
And, as they thought the chances of ''goin'
permiskus" were not brilliant, the meeting
adjourned without taking action.

REcoGN1rIoN COMING" Agate, the
Washington correspondent of the Clncin-
natl Gazette, writes as follows:
1.-The movement on Fredericksburg was
recognized as the GROWING crisis of the
war. With it were linked, almost indisso-
lubly, the destines of the Republic! If the
Nation conquered there, the rebellion was
ended If the Nation failed-the rebellion
was not indeed finally successful, but it had
demonstrated its ability to weather the sec
ond winter of revolt, and had compelled the
recognition of foreign powers. Henceforth
we must fight to su5jugate au Independent
country-not to reduce to obedience certain
revolted provinces"
