Response Of Attorney General to Sc
cetaFy or war.

The Attorney General in ~ elaborate OPP
inion, replies that he finds ''no provision
which requires the claimant to present his
claim in person, or that requires the payment
to be made to the claimant in person Certain
ly there are no express provisions to that eff
feet; there is nothing from which it can be
implied. 1t is certain that if the act should be
construed SO as to require every soldier and
every child OF soldier to make the claim in
persons and collect the money in person, COM
paratiyely few could avail themselves of the
bounty of the government"
II am, therefore, of the opinion that you
have no legal authority to exclude authorized
attorney and agents from collecting bouHties,
and that ia the prosecution and payment Of
claims the claimant may act by attorney"

Shall the South Plant Cottonl
q lQuitman, Ga. Banner.]
A very grave question is presented to the
people Of the South. Win they continue to
aelve, and toll, and sweat in the cotton field,
when but a pittance Of their earnings can be
enjoyed by themselves! or will they turn their
attention to the comforts and good living
which can only be found in the cultivation of
provisions, the delcacies of the gardsn, the
luxuries Of the farm yard, and the raising of
stock? We long to seq the day when they
will arrive at the sensible aud truthful con-
clusion, that cotton is the Iliad of their woes,
and that the road to contentment and comfort
leads not to the cotton fields, but to the easy
culture of the necessaries of life, and the inn
proyement of the homes of the heart. While
they will be adding to their own ga. e and do
nestle happiness, by planting only enough
cotton for home consumption, they will teach
their enemies lesson as sad in its history
as it will bs disastrous in its results. Where
all are poor, poverty is no disgrace; and now
that we can afford to be poor, let US try the
experiment of fine gardens, full cribs, fat
hogs and splendid horses. The lands that
enriched New England will grow fertile again
by lying idle few years, while the soilupon
which sprung the Upas that has poisoned
and blasted the prosperity Of the South, will
wither, wilt and die. %
