will. 90,
In conclusion, I fail to perceive any mn
tary, pecuniary, or patriotic reasons why
this order should not be carried INTO cAect.
Won will remember that in the first instance
I did not consider General Sheridan the
most suitable for the command of the fifth
military district. Time has strengthened my
convictions upon this point, and has led
me to the conclusion that patriotic consid-
erations demand that ne should be super
coded by an officer who, while he Will faith
fully execute the law, will at the same time
give more general satisfaction to the whole
people, white and black, north and south.

MORE ARMY RErRENcHMENTs.- -
Gen. Grant continues the policy of
reduction of the expenses of the army
inaugurated by himself, and has just
issued IN order from the War Office,
reducing all the regiments of infantry
to the minimum allowed by law,
which is fifty men to company, re-
ducing the general recruiting service
by breaking up all excepting four
principal rendezvous to each arm
cavalry and Infantry by mus
tering out all volunteer officers, ex
cepting the commissioner and dis
bursting officer OF the freedmen's bu-
reau. This reduction will bring the
strength of the army down to about
45, 900, or 11,000 less than the pre-
sent aggregate. If the calculation,
that it costs the Government 81, ,OOO,-
600 per annum for 1000 men, be
correct, here is reduction to the
public expenditure of at least $1O,-
600, 900 per annum.

''BR1Na EN- N."eTwo freedmen,
yesterday, and one the day before,
were lodged in the Jail, charged with
stealing. We understand the two
last requested the sheriff to be in n
hurry to send them to the peniten-
tiary, as they had heard that large
table would be spread at each meal
hour, loaded with good things, to
which every occupant of the peniten-
tiary would have free access; they
were also under the impression that
in that supposed haven there was no
work to be done, but the summit of
bliss-nndisturbed ease and rest
would be the share of every one who
should seek its hospitable portals.
There are now ten jail birds incarce-
rated in our little Jail, two of whom
will be removed next week to the
penitentiary. Clarendon Press.

A COOP Y1ELD.-From one acre of
originally thin pine land, in the
suburbs of Camden, Mr.. II. w.
Pegues gathered this year 200 lbs.
of seed cotton. A part of the ground
has received no manuring for two
years.
From one and half acres, on the
same lot, he gathered sixty three
bushels of corn and eight bushels of
peas. and from one-sixth of an acre,
twenty-eight bushels of sweet pota-
toes. This, of course, cannot be con-
sidered an extraordinary yield, in
comparison with some we read Of in
the papers. bnt it should encourage
those who till poor land to increase
its fertility by liberal manuring.

The CoTToN CRoP--We feel Salts
fled that the cotton crop of this Dis
trict will will not exceed that of last
year in quantity, although there was
more land planted and more fertil-
izers used. There is univeral com
plant that the crop has fallen off
abont one-fonrth. There are in some
fields large number of bolls not yet
open, and it is too late for them to
do anything now. Our people, in
consequence of the deficiency in
Quantity and the low prices Of the
staple, will not be able to pay ex-
penses. The question OF most i'm
Portance is, how are they to receive
the means with which to hire labor
and make their crops next year?

Ho! FOR Observation-Disclosures was
great deal of talk, some little time
since, about emigration to South
America. Unfortunately, many did
not go who should have gone, as
they could be vol spared from any
community.
A couple of adventurous Tennes-
seeans, just returned from o wild
goose chase after Ell Dorado in Bra
Iii, which Fl Dorado they, like other
South Al rican travellers, did not
find there, give lively account of
their experiences. The sum of their
story is this: That in Brazil they do
not speak English to any alarming
extent; and that they, not speaking
Portuguese or that Patagonian patois,
found some difficulty in making
themselves clearly understood by the
natives; that the climate, soil and
resources are not so good rs those of
Middle Tennessee; that mule driv-
ing, coffee picking and gambling are
poor ways of making livelihood in
strange country; and that the Bra
I'll fever is worse than California,
reconstruction or the cavalry service.
They are home "for good," they say
out of pocket, but not out of heart,
and quite willing to trust the future
to luck and Tennessee.
