Rather Unpatriotic.

We have incidentally learned that many Of
the farmers Of the country land how wide
spread may be the feeling we are not advised
have determined to put out, as little corn
and other grains as possible. The reason as
signed is, that Government agents have gone
upon the farms Of rich and poor, land assumed
to determine how much grain ana forage each
family might possibly need, and have taken
the balance ut such price as they thought pro-
per to allow often at one-tlsird less, than the
market price of the country. It is true, the
price these agents generally offer, and pro-
mise to pay, is enough in oil conscience, but
still, as the market price is much greater, the
Government ought, as an inducrment to the
enlarged culture Of the land, to give as much
as can be had from private purchasers. We
do not mean, by this remark, to justify even
semblance Of extortion, but if the army is to
be fed, it mast be done by pursuing an enlarg-
ed and liberal policy towards the country

Cotton Cloth and Yarns

~
A few weeks ago we mentioned the fact
that a number Of the citizens Of a neighboring
county had sent m agent to North Carolina
to procure cotton cloth and yarns for their
own use, with complete success. A number
of the citizens Of this county, held meeting
in the Court House on Monday last, for a like
purpose. They recommended that the people
Of each civil district hold meeting on We'd
nesday next, at a central point in their re-
spective districts, and appoint an AGENT
These agents are to meet in Abingdon the
Saturday following, and appoint general a
gent to 60 to North Carolina and procure the
cotton. -
The foregoing, we say, was the suggestion
of the meeting here on Monday, and We pre-
sumo the people viii carry it out. It should
be borne in mind that those who need cotton
for their own use, should take their money
with them to their district meetings, and
place it in the hands Of the agents, who will
keep list Of the names and amounts, and
band them over to the general agent at Abb
ingdon on the Saturday following, who ought
to Re prepared to start on his mission the next
Monday. They should be careful, also, to be
as economical as possible, as large demands
would certainly defeat the whole object. In
deed we do not know but what it would be
better to apply for but the half Of . years sup
ply. The agent, of course with bis proper re-
commendations and vouchers, will proceed to
tie Governor of North Caroline, upon whose
approval and order alone, cotton can be OBJ
tanned from the factories.
We have been requested to suggest that the
district meetings be held at the following pla-

upon removing the seat of government 70
some other city. They, after M. MERGERS
visit, concluded to remain, and did SO success
fully; and now we find prominent frencn
writer assuring us that Richmond held out AZ
the instigation of France. 1t is clear that
M. Ouch eval Clarigney would not have hsz-s
arded this statement in Paris had he not been
fully iniformed upon the subject.
The unfavorabEe statements made so con-
stantly sby the semi-oficial organs OF the
French government as regards the position Of
our administration; their desire that Frsnce
should mediate, ALL Of course, with view to
the severance Of the Union, are persisted IN
with bad grace, knowing as they do now
offensive to ioyal Americans would be any To-
reign intervention or meddling.. we Tear
that any abrupt or incautious policy at this
moment might result badly for the entente
cordials between our government ana that o. OF
the Emperor Napoleon. His alliance with
England is on its last legs, and asshe IS am
bilious to elevate the Latin race at the ex-
pense, of our power and prestige, he might
gladly seize upon any occasion. to rend asun-
der even the semblanee of good feeling. which
exists between u.s. and thus have done alto
gether with the Anglo-Saxons. We would
warn our authorities at Washington to exer-
else the greatest caution and delicacy IN
handling NJ. Mereier, and the most untiring
expedition in building iron-clads and armirig
them heavily; for if we must have foreign
war, let us BY all means be prepared for it.
Mr.. Seward straightforward letters in con-
nection with the correspondence between Mr..
Dayton and M. Dronyn De IHuys, which
we publish to-day, put him before the people
in the best light. As regards the charges
made against him by Baron MERCER, he
makes no dcviations nor explanations, but
uncompromisingly denies them. This places
| NJ. Mercier in a most unpleasant predicament,
and will most likely lead to his recall, as he
can no longer continue his relations with Mr..
Seward. It remains to be seen. how. the En-
peror will look upon the matter; and, as we
said above, as long as q doubt exists let us
prepare for the worst. The Emperor of the
French, should he be inclined to take advan-
| tage of this incident will find that his calcu.
lations as to the diminution of our power are
sadly at variance with the real state of the
case. A foreign war thrust upon us at such
| moment would rouse the people Of the North
to display of their real power, and the
world would then find out what twenty two
millions Of people, moved by single purpose,
can accomplish. It is useless for US to add
how greatly any trouble with France is to be
deprecated; but We must insist upon the
maintenance Of our national dignity, and q
firm demeanor towards those who world take
advantage of our troubles to deeply wrong us.

From the Lynchburg Virginian.
France and the United States.

The Herald Of the 14th contains some high
" Important state papers which were commu.
nicated to the Yankee Senate on the l2th.-
They comprise a correspondence between Mr..
Seward and Mf. Dayton, concerning the pro-
positions Of mediation by the French Empe.
ror,. and the communications which passed
between Mr.. Dayton and M. Drouyn de
Lh,,ys. Unable to lay these papers before
our readers today, we only present the COM
ments Of the Herald:
Baron de Mcrcier's letter and Mr.. Stewards
vigorous answer to it, published in the He
raid, mast have caused a great sensation in
diplomatic circles at Washington. !. In this
city considerable excitement was caused by
the correspondence in question, as from its
tone it is easy to foresee that future relations
between our. Minister of Foreign Affairs and
the Emperor Napoleon's Minister will be ex-
tremely unpleasant We are at a loss to UNI
derstand what course NJ. Mercier can pursue,
save that Of demanding his passports. He
made an assertion compromising our Sec'ry
If State, who, in the most distinct manner,
contradicted his statement" As the Gar
Nicholas would say. in private life, the course
to pursue would be clear; between persons oc-
cupying theshigh positions which Mr.. Sew
ard and Baron Mcrcier respectively fill, it be-
comes a matter hard to- decide. Atthis stage
Of our affairs it is hoped that all unpleasant
complications may be avoided; but we feel as
sured that the letters which have, just been
made public by the French Minister and Mr..
Seward, added to the Emperor Napofeon's
n
question, to say nothing Of the intrigues Of
the French Consuls against Texas, will cause
i'll feelings between the people Of this country
and France. 8.
From the commencement of the rebellion
we were inclined to look upon France as a
| friend. She was not making an Illicit COM
| nerce with the rebels. She made no endea-
yors to break our blockade, and sold no ships
to the Insurgents; nor did she construct and
| fit out pirate vessels to prey upon our COM
merce So we felt annoyed ct England, who
did all this. and We were friendly Disposed TO-
forced upon our conviction from al sides that
! France is really inimicai to as. We have the
assertion from the Emperor himself, who says
/ that France must STAY eur progress on this
1 continent, and who chivalrously undertakes
the task at moment when we are hampered
! BY a gigantic rebellion. M. Mercier states
i that he wentto Richmond at the instigation
Of Mr.. Seward. The latter fatty contradicts
this assertion. Singularly enough, at this
ljunctare Of affairs, we find in the columns OF "a
French periodical an article which goes to
prove that NJ MERCER went to Richmond
with other motives than those he acknow-
lodges. NJ. Cucheval Clarigney, writer in
the service Of the French Government states
in the Annuaire dcs Der Mondes that it was
French influence that determined the COME
derates to defend Richmond It must be borne
in mind that 1t the date of NJ. Mercier's visit
to Richmond the rebels were inclined to aban-
