PLANT PLENTY OF Corn AND PLANT 1T
EARLr.-The Southern Cul,ivator for Feb
ruary, in an article headed, Work for the
Month"; has the following on the impor-
tance of planting plenty OF corn and plant
ing early
Corn planting commenced in the eli
mate OF lower Georgia this month, and
when early planted makes almost invariably
the best crop. II you are buying corn, bet :
ter send few dollars to any Northern seed
men advertising with us for little King
Philip. or any other early field corn. It
will cost you from three to five dollars per
bushel. Plant early, on rich soil, and you
will have roasting ears and ripe corn before
you know it. Plant of this only for sum-
mer use.
Do not let mania for cotton planting
trouble Won again, and prevent putting in
A bountiful crop Of corn. Corn has no tax
on it. The tax on cotton is so enormous
that were full crop and low prices to come
again, its payment would ruin the already
crippled planter.
1t behoovcs us then, to cultivate the un-
taxed crops largely. Moreover no man is
safe with freedmen's labor, in donating
half so much ground to cotton as he former
ly did with the same force, for if he does he
will have to throw it ont or not half tend
it, as was the case last year.
When you cannot manure, throw out all
your poor, worn out lands, and use only
the best A half crop of cotton will bring
in more money than full one, and to try
to plant full crop this year, would com.
pei to purchase our food another year
The facilities and rates Of transportation
will no, Justify this.
Plant, then, plenty Of corn, and plant
early, indoepy prepared ground, so as to
prevent by the early maturing Of the crop,
aud by full supply Of moisture in the soil
during the periods Of growth, the casualties

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 26. The
Republicans special correspondent at
st. Joseph gives the following account
OF the Fort Phil. Kearney massacre,
derived by the Commissioners sent
to investigate the matter, from the
Sioux Indians. The Sioux drew our
men out of the fort and killed them
all. Our men fought like tigers and
would not have been overcome so
easily If they had not kept so close to-
gether. The combatants were so
mixed up that the Indians killed sew
eral OF their own party with their ar
rows. The bravery of one bugler is
much spoken of, he having killed sew
eral Indians by beating them on the
head with MS bugle. They say that
there were only sixteen Sioux and
four Cheyenees killed on the field. but
after they encamped ninety-four war
rlors died from their wounds, and of
three hundred others wounded half
OF them were expected to die. One
Dlg Sioux chief was among the killed.
They mention a man on a white horse
who cut off an Indians head with
single stroke of his sabre, and say
that when reinforcements left the fort |

had withal childlike trust in God.
During his life he suffered periodi
cally from disease, which resulted in
short seasons of arrangement. An
attack of paralysis from which he ne.

death was near, but did not alarm
him, or destroy his confidence in the
hope he had long before cherished
When he passed away from earth the
belief on the part of his family and
friends that he had entered into the
heavenly rest, was consoling to them

high estimate of him as a parent, and
keep him in lasting remembrance by
them and their offspring.
