We do not believe that tile farmets of our Dis.
tr'ct under the circumstances, will allow their
corn to be impressed, but will cheerfulIy sell thu
last grain they can spare for the supper. of the
cause of liberty.
The wheat crop throughout our District
has yielded abrndanty and the most Of
which has been successfully harv ested. and IN
avery few weeks the growing corn crops will
be laid BY when we can mausgs toeet slo.p
TIL fall on very small. quantity of corn-ts..
King these facts in consideration, We think that
our District can and will honorably acou,t her.

A RECoNNoIssAEcE OF JAMES ISLAND.
The New York Herald of June 10fb.
has the following paragraph about recon.
nolssance Of Iamos' Island:
a letter from Folly Island, Charleston
harbor, dated June ], states that few davs
previously, It having been observed from
the lookout" that James Island had q
deserted appearance, Reconnaissance was
ordered, which resulted in demonstrating
that there were less than 1000 rebel troops
there. Their number had hitherto been
estimated at from 10000 to $4,000. The
inference among our men was that the
bulk OF the rebel force had been sent of to
operate against Grant at Vicksburg.
