LUxURIANT Crops IN THE COTTON STATES -
The Atlanta Appeal says if anything we're want
ing to disabuse the Yankees of the absurd idea Of
conqneriug the South by starvation, it would only
be necessary for them to take flying "trip through
the States of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia,
and get a view Of the vast oceans Of growing corn
that greet the eye on every hand 1t is source
Of congratuatou to our people, says the Appeal,
the South have been verted into corn fields and
that the yield promises to be superabuDdaDt; ana
with plentiful supply of corn, we need have 10
fears of starvation. Increased stocks of horses
cattle, hogs. sheep &c, is the necessary result Of
his abundant supply OF corn, and we have no fears
now but that the Coufederacy will be able to sus
tain her armies in the field as long as the Yankee,
shall see proper to continue the war.
