with the mail altogether, as we mail the
packages regularly every Saturday morning

There is, however. promise Of a change for

Supplies of Provisions.

ith the prospect of another years war be.
lore us, the question o: supply of food should
seriously engage the attention of our people
Last year the planters and farmers, by com.
mon consent pretty generally abandoned their
cotton crops and devoted their means to the
raising OF provisions The seasons were pro.
pitious large crops we're made, and yet there
was not enough. Thousand, of families through.
out the Coniederacy now suffering the in.
conveIicnceS Of au inadequate supply of pro-
visions. Last year the area of territory dcro,
ted to the rearing Of crops was more extensive
than it will probably be this year, as our mill.
tary lines have been to some cXleut drawn in.
Last year there were more laborers than there
can be this year, as many have been called into
service since the last crop was made. It. then,
1t was important that all the available agricul.
tural labor in the country be devoted to the
making of provisions last year, how much more
important is it this year. when our planting
area is curtacd and our laborers vastly dimin.
ishcd in number
Our agricultural friends should seriously con,
slider the question Of supplies los another year.
The salvation oi the country may depend upon
their response to it. and with the tate OF the
country, whatever it may be, is involved their
individual interests. Many may pursue course,
which, while it may to tend to enhance
their individual wealth, WILL contrary to their
expectations, bring about a condition of things
which will prove ruinous TO the country and
fatal to their own interests
1t will be far saicr and better for the country
II not seed Of cotton is planted the present
year. There is no necessity for a single bale of
cotton more than is in the county already, and
every pound that is made helps to impOverish
the nation and detracts so much from the real
resources of the Government
The makng'of a large grain crop last year
saved the country if the usual cotton crop had
been planted the cause would have been lost
lost Tor the want OF bread to keep up the armies
and feed the families ut home, and the lands
and negroes OF the South conf seated to pay
the Yankee war debt The same motive which
induced the agricultural community to abstain
from planting cotton last year and make large
greater force to their minds the present year.
With plenty of provisions the nation can never
be conquered, aud he is indeed a patriot and
postcrhy will regard him, who, discarding
all ideas OF personal gain, devotcs his energies
to this important work. willing a. postpone the
occasion Of getting rich Gntil this terrible war
is ended.
