No MORE CoTToN.-A correspondent, under the signature of "Agricola, writes thus to the Augusta Federal Union ':
 Permit me to say word or two in your columns on the subject of the present cotton crop Judging from the apparent uneaslness manifested in the newspaper press about the growing crop, should be led to conclude that the Southern people believed that their salva- ton, politically and pecuniarly, depended on the number of pounds of cotton they made this year. Permit me to say, SITS, that It IS the opinion, if thereis not one pound of cotton raised this year in the eleven States excluded from the Union, it would be the most fortunate thing that could possible happen for us We are not going to starve if we make no cotton, unless we are all fools. We ought to make corn wheat, rye, barley, peas, potatoes, tur- nnlps, syrup. and dried fruits, of all kinds including wines from grapes, blackberrles, muscadnes, etc., etc., and we ought to raise cattle, hogs, sheep, goats chickens, turkeys, ducks, etc.. etc., In short we ought, to be in- dependent of cotton. We can be if we choose. Ii God Almighty was to send blight upon the Southern es1ptry and kill every cotton plant below Masons and Dickson's line, so that not one pound of cotton would be raised the present year, it would be righteous judgment on the northern fanatics As long as we make cotton to keep the cotton factories ot New england busy, just so long will they send such men as Sumner and Stevens to Congress. We can ca whip them into term by making no cotton ne will be their slaves until we do it. Let the pAiosophic statesmen ponder and inwardly oigest these thoughts
Des Arc citizen., 1866-06-23
From the Chattanooga American Union.

From the Chattanooga American Union we take the following, making some changes to suit our locality
 The best thing business men and pro perty holders can do to attract capital and enterprise, and build up the city, is to ad. vertise iberally in the columns of theil local paper. What good will it do abroad for us to gas and blow about superior ad vantages, immense mineral resources, illim- itable coal fields, inexhaustible beds of iron ore, tremendous water powers, broad tracts of available timber, towering mountains, beautiful landscapes, beetling crags, purl. ing streams, and blooming valleys-what good will it do to descant upon these, if our advertising columns fail to show that we have an enterprising, wde-awake, thrif ty population? An advertisement is some thing tangible-something that business men and the capitalists can understand has an air of substance and reality which high-falutin, wishy-washy, simmy -dishy editorials never possess. When real keen, wide-awake business man, who is in search of investment for his skill and capital, picks up newspaper, his eyes naturally turns, not to the editorial, but to the ad- vertising columns, and by glancing over this he at once determines what sort of a place it is published at, or whether it will be worth while for him to locomote in that direction.
 We throw out these suggestions for the benefit of such as may be disposed to avail themselves thereof, with the remark that there is not a business house in Des Arc which could not double its trade and pro- fits in three months by liberal and judi cious system of advertising in the DEs ARC CITIZEN.
