EpiToRs DALLAS HERALD:
GENrlrMES:-IIaving noticed in the col
umns OF your paper, n call upon the farmers
OF Dallas County, to furnish you with state
menis Of the number Of acres planted in
cotton, by them, this year, respectively,
and also, the probable yield Of this staple
per acre-and seeing also, that this call has
not met with a response by any one, |
have concluded to offer you such facte, in
relation thereto, as may he able to gather,
from time TO time, from the planters on
this side Of the river. East of Lancaster,
come four miles, and bordering on Ten
mile Creek, commences n low fiat region Of
country, formerly known in the geography
of these parts MS tie Devils Neck" hut
now rejoicing in the more christian title of
"Plenscnt Valley This valley is thickly
settled, and comprises some of the most
fertile and best wheat producng lands in
the county. This year some few of its
farmers have turned their attention to cot
ton, among whom is James Crouch, who
has seven acres in cotton, planted in June,
and which will yield him about $1,000 lbs.
lie will plant forty acres next year. Me-
Kce, has ten acres, which he thinks will
turn out $1,000 lbs; Il. A. Landrctl, has
six acres, with u vie d of 1000 lbs; Her.
rim and White have five acres which will
yield about 1000 lbs; Joseph Crouch, has
two acres, yielding 1000 lbs; Arlington,
eight acres, witha yield of 1000 lbs. He
has also, raised two crops of fine tobacco
on the same piece of bottom land this year,
the last crop being the better on account of
the prevalence Of heavy dews during the
latter part of tie season. Thus you see
that neighborhood hns planted thiriyeight
acres, with yield of Al 900 lbs or nearly
1887 lbs. per acre. Besides The above there
are several smaller patches in the valley,
which will raise the product of that region
10 10000 lbs. seed cotton. All those who
have planted this year, will plant more
extensively next spring, and others will
plant, who have heretofore been afraid that
the culture of cotton would not pay.

BGWe are pleased 10 see that our old
friend Joseph L. WEIGH has sustained his
we'll earned reputation as the best horse
shoemaker and best horse-shoer in the
country. The late Fair awarded him a
premium for superior skill in each of these
useful ar.s. Some mechanics make good
shoes, yet know not how TO put them on,
while others put them on well, but cannot
make them. Mr.. WEIGH does both in the
most perfect style.

B9,We are this week the recipient Of
one of the most beautiful fnll-blown roses
that ever charmed ones senses with its
beauty and fragrance, from the white hand
of q lady. We did all we could to preserve
it, but its frail life has all deparic dts
petals fallen-and nought but faded calyx
and whitening stem remain. Yet it win
oft re-bloom in our grateful memory. We
thank our fair friend. We need not be told
in the Language of the tongue that she has
q pure heart, a cultivated mind, refined
sensibiliiy and exquisite taste. We would
that she might ever be surrounded with the
sweet children Of the sun and dew that
paint the meadows with delight'-with
roses more royal than the one she gave
with
-i1lafodils
That come before the swallows dare and
take
The winds OF March with beauty; violets
dim
But sweeter than the lids of Junos eyes,
Or Catharea's breath"

Tho southern Militia.

The order of Secretary Schofeld, ex-
plsnatory of his refusal to furnish arms
10 the militia of the Southern States, adds
greatly to the responsibility of the Fresl-
dent 10 dealing with the applications of
the new Governors. The common an
swer to appeals for military help, like
that of Gov. Yarmouth, is, that the local
militia should. be available for the main
tenance of order. The enemies of recon-
struction have contended that unless the
local governments be able, with the militia
at their command, to put down disturbance
and enforce the law, they must be con-
sidered failures. The argument is I'M
sound, as we have more than once at
tempted to show, especially IN view OF
the neglect of Congress to provide for an
adequate distribution OF arms. But
there has nevertheless been q conviction
that any request for Federal Intervention
should be preceded by the employment Of
ell the powers at the command of the
local Exeeutive-the militia included.
The case ia made good deal palmer
by the extract from the law which the
Secretary of War introduces into his or
der. By one Of those unfortunate blum
ders which have married the progress Of
reconstruction at almost every stage, the
Snuth is literally without militia. Not
only have the local governments no arms
for its use. but the supplying OF arms by
the War Department is forbidden by
clause which-passed under different
circumstances lis yet unrepealed.'
Congress, therefore, in its great
haste to adjourn, did more than neglect
the distribution Of arms with measure
brought forward at late day rightfully
contemplated. II left on the statute
book a provision which res.rains the War
Department from arming the militia,
whatever the emergency. To this ex-
tent the reconstructed States are power
less Their authorities are parslyzed by
an order which nothing less than the
action Of Congress can set aside. This
fact, in the presence fthe disloyal organ
izaiions By which the rights Of persons Of
Uaiouists are threatened, Willundoubtedly
| strengthen the movement for a reassem-
bling Of Congress in September. That
proceeding is, for many reasons. unde
sirable, but il may be made inevitable
Few things are more likely to make il 90
than The confessed inability Of the
neE governments 10 employ a power
which Is essential 10 their existence.
Meanwhile the President may prevent
mischief, and possibly some trouble, By
making The fact announced BY Gen. Scbo-
field the basis Of more decided action
THAI might Otherwise be expedieut He

Niger Notions of Freedom of Speech,


1t is well known fac. that the Radi-
cal negroes ofthe city entertain deadly
hatred toward the Democrats of their own
cplor, aud never allow an opportunity to
pass without insulting, beating, threaten
ing, and even attempting to take their
lives. The following case in point is true
in every particular:
On Friday last, John Burton, peace
able and worthy colored Democrat, about
sixty eight years of age, visited the Radi-
cal meeting held in ths Wilkinson street
grove, fsr :.hs purpose &c hearing what
the lately returned so-called representa-
tives had to say.
As soon as he reached the crowd the
negroes cried out in an excited manner,
ahere is Democratic niger" and i'm
mediately large number of them, per-
fectly wild with rage, commenced closing
round Burton for the purpose of killing
him. shouting, Kill the Democrat mig
GER" xiii him." Burton fading his
life in jeopardy, endeavored to get to the
speakers stand, thinking he would be
safe at that point, but the crowd becom-
ing every moment more bloodthiysty,
would have slain him had it not been for
the timely assistance of Col. Wickersbam,
chief of police, and officer James Som.
merville, who managed by almost super
human exertions to rescue Burton from
the crowd of savsges. The chief of police
not being generally known by the negroes,
narrowly escaped severe beating, they
surprising him to be Democrat, from
the fact of his protecting Burton.

Press Consolidation.

The Nashville Union and Dispatch
and the Gazette have both been sold out
to ]. c. Griffith & Co., who will hereafter
publish in their stead a new paper, to be
called the Union and american We
learn so much from card published in
the Union and Dispatch, and from the
valedictory of j. ]. O'Sullivan, Esq, who
retires. As there is no other valedictory,
we suppose the new journal will combine
the remaining editorial talent of the two
thus consolidated, which will certainly
make the Union and american one of
the ablest journals of the country. We
have much admired the articles of the
Union and Dispatch as able, sound,
statesmanlike and judicious. And we
we're equally pleased with the vigor, can
dor and editorial ability displayed in the
Gazette. We like to see men speak
straight out what they honestly
think, as was the fashion Of
that paper. And we see no public dis
advantage (since the subscribers Of the
late journals will be supplied by the
uew) unless it be in the retirement of
Col. O'Sullivan, whose services in jour
nalism at this time we much regret 10
lose. Men are often charged with error
and imprudence, as we see be has been,
only because their sagscity was in adj
vance of the public sentiment, aud be-
cause they had not that kind Of discre-
lion which suppresses the stronges, con-
victious only in order that the laggard
public opinion may first come up to
them. Such men. 4 theY are not always
the wisest, are at least always useful, end
often indispensable to progress in favor
