death, the feast of the destroyer: to
which he invites his vultures and his

The South has relied upon three great
ainstays--slavery, cotton, and tobacco. 1t
calculated to support itself by slavery, TO pro-
cure foreign help by cotton, and to spread
discomfort among the Northern masses by
Withholding its tobacco. In all these hopes ii
has been disappointed. The war power Of the
Government has deprived it Of its slaves
England goes to India 10 procure her cotton,
and Pennsylvania seems likely TO succeed
Virginia as the leading tobacco-growing
State.
Until within the last two years, the expert
ment Of its cultivation in the Keystone State
had remained untried. The stOppage OF the
usual supply from the South induced a few
FeHnsslyania farmers to try the experiment.
Inc result has been eminently successful, and
'ne fortunate possessors Of this years crops
